Chapter 175: Lao Maozi is the best coolie

The defenders crouched in improvised trenches and had a large number of automatic weapons and fast-firing artillery, while the attackers were armed with "single-one" rifles and used platoon gun tactics, and anyone with a little modern concept could see that the attackers were bound to lose, no matter how many times the attackers were outnumbered by the defenders, there was only one end to failure, unless the defenders were running low on ammunition.

At this time, such a battle took place in the Khobdo Erdeni Burun area in the northwest of the Han Kingdom, and the Russian soldiers armed with Bodan rifles lined up in a neat phalanx to attack the Han army squatting in the trenches equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns, 75 mm field guns, and 60 mm mortars.

As the defending side, the Han army opened fire with all its might, and the Russian army, which suffered heavy casualties, had to withdraw, but the Russian infantry fled faster than the bullets and shells of the Han army, and the casualties of the Russian army continued to increase.

The only thing to be thankful for is that among the four infantry divisions of the Russian army, only two divisions were put into the attack on the Han army's position, and there were two divisions in the back, which did not suffer the baptism of Han bullets, but the Han army's 105 mm howitzers and 75 mm field guns made these two divisions suffer, with more than 4,000 casualties, but fortunately, they were not disabled by the Han army like the previous two divisions.

The two divisions in the back retreated quickly and in an orderly manner under the orders of Lieutenant General Kuropatkin, commander of the Russian Western Route Army, and all heavy things such as artillery were thrown down, as far as the two divisions in front could run.

As soon as the commander of the Blue Dragon Legion saw that the Russian army was about to flee, he immediately ordered the Han army to attack on all fronts.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The drums of the charge sounded, and the Han soldiers in the improvised trenches grabbed their rifles and jumped up, rushing towards the fleeing Russian troops.

In order to prevent the charging Han soldiers from being injured by mistake, heavy machine guns ceased fire, and mortar fire also extended into the distance.

"Surrender, don't kill!" The Han soldiers shouted two Russian words that they only knew, and although the pronunciation was not very accurate, it was enough for the Russian soldiers to understand.

Hearing the shouts of the Han soldiers, some of the Russian soldiers who had no time to escape threw away their weapons and raised their hands in surrender, and some of the Russian soldiers showed their fierce eyes, raised their rifles and prepared to fire at the charging Han soldiers, but the next moment they were killed by a shot by the Han soldiers, but there were still many Han soldiers who fell on the way to charge.

Lieutenant General Kuropatkin saw the Han army rushing out of the position and the heavy machine guns ceaseing fire, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, if he turned around and fought with the Han army now, he might be able to defeat the Han army.

It's just that when Lieutenant General Kuropatkin saw the soldiers of the two divisions in front of him throw away their guns and flee for their lives, and almost messed up the formation of the two divisions behind, Lieutenant General Kuropatkin gave up this idea, the morale of the Russian army has been lost, and I am afraid that it will not dare to fight with the Han army in a short time, and the somewhat disheartened Lieutenant General Kuropatkin immediately ordered the Russian army to retreat faster.

Trample! Trample! Trample!

"Drive!"

The Han cavalry had completed their task of pursuing the Cossack cavalry, most of the fleeing Cossack cavalry were killed by the Han cavalry, as long as a few hundred people fled, and then the Han cavalry rushed to the frontal position, seeing that the target was to cut off the fleeing Russian infantry.

However, the Han cavalry did not dare to pursue the retreating brigade of Russian troops, once the Russian army backhanded a shot, the Han cavalry would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Under the interception of the Han cavalry, nearly 4,000 Russian soldiers were surrounded by the Han army.

The soldiers of the Han army kept shouting "Surrender, don't kill!" These two Russian words that they only know hope that the surrounded Russian soldiers will lay down their arms and surrender, but the Han soldiers did not relax their vigilance, and once they found the Russian soldiers who dared to resist, they were immediately killed, and more Russian soldiers were forced to throw down their weapons and surrender to the Han army.

The 105-mm howitzers and 75-mm field guns of the Han army are still firing at the retreating Russian troops, and the two artillery guns with a range of up to five kilometers have brought huge casualties to the retreating Russian troops, and the retreating Russian soldiers are constantly praying in their hearts not to be hit by shells.

However, during the 20-minute retreat of the Russian army, the Russian army left more than 5,000 corpses, and less than 17,000 Russian soldiers were left who could retreat beyond the range of the Han artillery, and nearly half of them were wounded.

The first confrontation between the Han army and the Russian army ended with a defeat for the Russian army, and less than 16,500 of the 61,000 Russian Western Route Army withdrew to the Russian-controlled Tangnu-Ulianghai area, and more than 3,600 Russian soldiers were captured, while the Han Qinglong Legion lost 327 of its 27,000 men, most of whom died when they charged the Russian army.

After the battle, the Han soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, some Han soldiers escorted the prisoners to the rear, and some Han soldiers were looking for the bodies of their fallen comrades.

Suddenly, I don't know which Han soldier started a beginning, and one Han soldier after another Han soldier sang a military song, and even the war drums on the battlefield also started to agitate.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"The wolf smoke rises and the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls up the horse, the sword is like frost, the heart is like the Yellow River, who can resist in 20 years. Hatred is mad and the knife is going, how many siblings are loyal to the soul and buried in the other country, what a pity to die to repay the family and country, endure the sigh and regret and be speechless, blood and tears are in the eyes, the horse's hooves go south to look at the north, people look north to the grass and yellow dust, I am willing to defend the land and reopen the territory, and China wants to let the Quartet ...... Come and congratulate! ”

Singing and singing, a few tears flowed from the corners of the eyes of some Han soldiers, and even the vicissitudes of life on the cheeks of Niu Dehou, the commander of the Blue Dragon Legion, were crossed......

"We've won!"

"We've won!"

"Long live King Han!"

"Long live the Great Han Kingdom!"

"Long live the Han Army!"

The soldiers of the Han army cheered and cheered for the victory in the battle.

"Legion Commander, you're crying!" In the headquarters of the Blue Dragon Legion, a young staff officer looked at Niu Dehou and said.

Niu Dehou wiped the tears on his face with his hand and said: "I didn't cry, it was the wind and sand that blew into my eyes, let's go, go out and see the Russian prisoners I caught." ”

Niu Dehou turned around and walked outside, and the young staff officer and several other people in the command headquarters also hurriedly followed.

More than 3,600 Russian prisoners were escorted by Han soldiers and walked to the back, Niu Dehou looked at the tall and hairy Russian prisoners with their hands on their chins and said: "Tsk, this body is really strong, and the strength must be great, it seems that Lao Maozi is the best coolie." ”

The Han Kingdom has mobilized a large number of coolies to build a railway to Xinqi in the sea, and it would be good if the airship could deliver supplies to the Blue Dragon Legion, and other materials such as cement could not be used on the airship.

Niu Dehou had already decided that next time he would let the headquarters use airships to transport a batch of rails and sleepers, and use the Russian prisoners to build a railway directly from here to the other side of the sea, so that the construction of the railway would be greatly accelerated.

If the Russian captives are disobedient, hehe, then they will not be fed. (To be continued.) )
