Chapter 1065: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
The entire corps moved quickly, although the two divisions of the Seventh Army were not many and their combat strength was not strong, but the Tenth Division of the Ninth Division was the elite of the Third Army Corps, and their combat power was strong.
The army was divided into two, one moving rapidly towards the south and the other towards the north, preparing to force the crossing of the Ussuri River.
The anomalous movement of the Chinese People's Army was also quickly transmitted back to Shuangchengzi and Vladivostok by Russian scouts.
"The Chinese People's Army has actually divided its troops!"
Whether it was Valerian or Jangovich, they all frowned tightly, it was obvious that the Chinese People's Army was deliberately trying to lengthen the battle line, so that the Russian army would be tired of coping, and then waiting for an opportunity to cross the river.
Valerian and Jangovich are both battle-hardened veterans, so they naturally understand Wang Huanzhang's intention to divide his troops, but what if they see through Wang Huanzhang's intentions? The Ussuri River stretches for hundreds or thousands of kilometers from the north, and it is not easy to rely on only four Russian divisions with serious casualties to completely stare at the Ussuri River?
Don't say it's too far, even if it's more than 200 miles from Shuangchengzi to Vladivostok, it's not something that four Russian divisions can completely defend and hold, if the Chinese People's Army relies on strong firepower to carry out a strong attack, then it's good to say that the Russian army is defending the river and relying on the geographical advantage, it is still possible to block the Chinese People's Army.
Now it is obvious that Wang Huanzhang did not plan to fight hard, the army was divided into two, one went to Vladivostok, attracting Valerian's troops, even if the two divisions did not move on the opposite side, Valerian's army would never dare to act rashly, only three or four kilometers wide of the river, if you launch an assault, you can rush over in just one hour!
As for the other force running in the direction of Shuangchengzi, it is also obvious that it is going towards Jangovich! As the defender, the Russian army must ensure that the Chinese People's Army cannot cross the river, which completely restricts the mobility of the Russian army, and can only be in a passive position to be beaten and fight hard with the Chinese People's Army.
The 9th Division and the 56th Division took the lead in rushing to the Da Belly River, and the two artillery regiments soon arrived at the predetermined position and began to launch a fierce artillery bombardment against the Russian army.
Opposite the Datui River, there are only two artillery battalions now, and the two artillery regiments of the Chinese People's Army must be too far away in firepower, and they can't withstand the attack of the two artillery regiments of the Chinese People's Army at all.
Jangovich, who was sitting here, had already given the order to mobilize artillery from the north and south sides to help the formation, but the artillery positions on both sides were more than 30 miles away from the artillery positions on the other side of the Datui River, and it was impossible for the artillery to drive over without more than half a day!
Jangovich's face is now full of bitterness, specially, this war is too aggrieved, the original Russian army occupies a comprehensive advantage, it is because of improper deployment, successive defeats, so that the current Left Route Army has no backup at all, with less than 50,000 troops, now to resist the four divisions of the Chinese People's Army, that is an army of more than 60,000 people!
Fortunately, although the artillery of the Russian army cannot withstand it, the infantry of the Chinese People's Army has not carried out the battle of crossing the river, and the Russian army can still withstand it, as long as the artillery catches up quickly, how can the firepower of a multi-artillery regiment be able to support it for a period of time......
Jangovich thought it was very beautiful, but the reality was cruel, yes, now the two infantry divisions have not moved, there is no sign of crossing the river, but now the cavalry behind has already been prepared, the artillery of the Russian army is concentrated in the direction of the big belly river, and the defense on the north and south sides is naturally weak, just with some infantry muskets and a few artillery, it is impossible to withstand the impact of the cavalry next.
It may take two hours for the infantry to rush across the river, but for the cavalry, it may not even take half an hour to rush across the river, and if it is on flat ground, six or seven miles away, not even a quarter of an hour, a surprise attack has passed.
"Order, order the infantry of the two regiments to move on the river, continue the feint, and attract the attention of the Russian army!"
Qiu Kai, who was in charge of the Potbelly River offensive, shouted.
Two infantry regiments boarded the river and moved forward slowly, on the other side of the Ussuri River, the Russian army's Jangovich could see clearly in the telescope, and the Chinese People's Army began to prepare to cross the Ussuri River!
Jangovich chuckled in his heart and shouted: "Immediately send an order, urge the artillery on the north and south flanks to advance at full speed, you must be fast, order, the 198th Brigade is deployed along the river, go all out to meet the battle, as long as the infantry of the Chinese People's Army charges forward, then give me a hard blow, and I must suppress the other party's river crossing operation!" ”
The Russian army is all nervous, after all, there is only one infantry division defending this defense line with a length of 100 miles from north to south, where is it so easy to stop the Chinese People's Army?
The Russian army's blocking fire also began to be fierce, and the opposite Chinese People's Army began a fierce battle, a shell blew out huge cracks in the ice on the river, such a river, not to mention artillery, even if the heavy machine gun moved on it, can not guarantee the safety of the march.
However, fortunately, this is not the real offensive focus of the Chinese People's Army, and after nearly a day of feints, the artillery forces on both sides of the Russian army have moved to the opposite bank of the Datui River, and the defensive holes on both sides have been infinitely expanded.
Five cavalry regiments, three in Dongning Town and two in Old Black Mountain, were already ready to stop.
The night has completely fallen, Dong Tinghe and Su Changyu, the two brigade commanders, are quietly waiting for the order from the front, as long as the commander's order arrives, then launch a lightning offensive towards the opposite side!
The time was close to the early hours of the morning, and finally waited for Wang Huanzhang's attack order.
Dong Tinghe and Su Changyu can't wait for a long time, crossing the Ussuri River, that's the first achievement!
"Order, charge the whole army, cross the Ussuri River!"
Dong Tinghe and Su Changyu gave the order to charge almost at the same time, and the cavalry was completely dispersed on the surface of the Ussuri River, and began to rush towards the opposite bank quickly, concentrating on the ice.
Even so, during the charge, there were still a lot of Chinese People's Army cavalry falling, and the smooth ice was too easy to fall, even if the Chinese People's Army cavalry had superb riding skills, it could not be avoided!
It's just that these are not a problem, even if only one cavalry regiment rushes across the opposite bank, it is enough for the Russian army to drink a pot, not to mention that if five cavalry regiments charge at the same time, at least five or six thousand cavalry can successfully rush through!
