Chapter 1227: The Last Trump Card
In the face of the ferocious offensive of the Second Army, the Arsenevich Army also unceremoniously fought back, and the two Army Corps launched a full-scale offensive in a radius of more than ten miles.
As soon as it came up, it was an all-out attack, the second army was strong, second only to Chen Hai's first army, not considering the factors of senior generals, the second army was not even weaker than the first army, in their eyes, they had never been afraid of war, but were full of desire for war
Gao Qi relied on the powerful artillery firepower, and deployed the four artillery regiments of the Second Army to different positions, and launched artillery attacks on the Russian army from different positions
At this time, the gap between the Chinese People's Army and the Russian army in artillery was completely revealed, not to mention that the Second Army Corps had four artillery regiments plus a reinforced artillery battalion directly under the corps, and three artillery regiments alone were enough to suppress the Russian army's artillery fire, the gap was too obvious, and it was completely all-round.
The entire corps of the Russian army has only three artillery regiments, and the total is only one hundred and forty artillery pieces, but the four artillery regiments of the second corps have more than 200 artillery pieces, and the reinforced battalion has 30 artillery pieces, all of which are rear-loading rifled guns that have been produced and equipped in recent years
The second regiment is full of firepower, countless shells are constantly pouring on the positions of the Russian army, the first day just started, the Russian artillery can barely hold on, and when the second regiment arrives, the Russian artillery will no longer have the strength to fight back, the shells of the Chinese People's Army are like long eyes, regardless of the attack on the Russian artillery position, the unfortunate Russian artillery was beaten by the second army Corps, casualties pillowed, the Russian army had to have an offensive to turn to strategic defense, All the Russian troops turned into the tunnels to avoid the frantic offensive of the Chinese People's Army
Lao Gao, the artillery of the Russian army can no longer hold on
Ke Yunlu and Gao Qi stood on a high ground, looking into the distance with a telescope, and after a long time, they took a long breath and said.
Gao Qi nodded and replied: Don't rush to charge, now the edge of the Russian army has not been completely knocked out, anyway, we have countless shells, let me continue to launch artillery bombardment towards their artillery positions and strategic heights, I will completely stun them
Ke Yunlu nodded and conveyed the order.
Two consecutive days of powerful artillery offensive finally made the Russian army unable to support it, even the Russian army's fortifications have now been beaten to the ground, and large pieces of frozen soil have been beaten into mud by artillery fire.
Arsenevich finally couldn't support it a little, and if the artillery of the Chinese People's Army continued to fight like this, the entire Russian position was about to be completely destroyed
Damn, why is the artillery of the Chinese so strong, why is it that just ten years ago, the Qing Kingdom did not have any advanced artillery, and in just ten years, their artillery has advanced to such an extent, which is even more powerful than the artillery of fucking France
Arsenevich participated in the Crimean War ten years ago and had a deep understanding of the strength of the French artillery, but what he did not expect was that in ten years, the Chinese artillery was even more powerful than the French artillery, and it was not a star and a half powerful
Arsenevich, we must change the current status quo, if it continues like this, it will be too heavy a blow to the morale of our army
Klitschko, the chief of staff on the side, said urgently.
How to change the situation of the battle, our artillery is not anyone's opponent at all, and our strength does not have any advantage, do we let us just charge, then we will lose faster
Arsenevich yelled angrily.
Cavalry, we still have cavalry, use cavalry, and make every effort to sneak attack the artillery positions of the Chinese People's Army, and only in this way can the artillery fire of the Chinese People's Army be suppressed
Klitschko said urgently.
Arsenevich's eyes lit up, yes, now he only has the trump card of cavalry to use, and only when the Cossack cavalry is dispatched can it be possible to curb the wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the Chinese People's Army
Arsenevich pulled over the map and said in a deep voice: Order the 27th Cavalry Brigade to make a detour from the left flank and raid the artillery positions on the left flank of the Chinese People's Army at night, and order the 28th Cavalry Brigade to make a detour from the right flank and raid the artillery positions on the right flank of the Chinese People's Army at night
Yes, General Arsenevich
Klitschko agreed, and immediately conveyed the order to the two cavalry brigades to raid the artillery positions.
Even at night, the artillery of the Chinese People's Army still did not stop attacking, and the four artillery regiments and artillery reinforced battalions continued to attack the Russian positions in turn, and the shells hit the Russian positions in waves
Arsenevich was furious, but there was nothing he could do, and now he could only pin his hopes of turning the tide of the battle entirely on the Cossack cavalry, and now he could only gamble
As soon as the time came to the early hours of the morning, the two cavalry brigades made a detour back to the flanks of the two artillery positions, and now the left flank positions were still being shelled, and the right flank positions were temporarily in a state of rest.
The 27th Cavalry Brigade on the left flank took the lead in launching a surprise attack on the artillery position on the left flank, and thousands of cavalry launched an attack almost simultaneously, and the sound of the neighing of war horses shook the heavens and the earth, and even the sound of artillery was suppressed
However, Arsenevich's hand is destined to lose, Gao Qi is best at defense, and the most important thing is artillery, if his artillery can still be sneak attacked by others, then it is not Gao Qi.
Gao Qi arranged an infantry regiment and two heavy machine gun battalions on the three artillery positions to protect the artillery positions at any time.
Now it's finally their turn to show what they're up to
The Cossack cavalry had just been spotted by the reconnaissance battalion of the 2nd Corps, and it was impossible to carry out a surprise attack, two heavy machine-gun battalions had long been in good standby, and an infantry regiment was also unsheathed and ready to fight.
The Cossack cavalry had just launched a charge, the dense formation had not yet dispersed, and on the opposite side, the Gatling heavy machine guns had already sounded, and the bullets were like a raging storm, coming towards them
To be continued.
