Chapter 121: The Battle of Topolsko
Looking at the approaching Russian cavalry, whether it was the soldiers on the head of Cheng or the temporarily organized defense line at the east gate, their voices were very tight, and their heartbeats were involuntarily accelerating, like the seaside facing the attack of a tsunami, and the one who was most strongly shocked was the west gate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The commander of Simon drew his sword and shouted; "Stay calm! For the honor of the Empire! For His Majesty the Emperor! For the Empire of Tomorrow! Fire! ”
Fire!
Fire!
On this day God played a big joke with the Slavs.
The whole fortress was surrounded by Russian soldiers, who were almost thrust by inertia, and attacked the city of Topolsko, like waves, layer by layer, the front wave crashed on the beach, and the back wave followed.
The barrels of the heavy machine guns have been burned red, and the Russian soldiers below are already much taller than the Chinese soldiers, the difference is that these Russian soldiers are lying down, and they can no longer stand up.
Ilmanov, who was born as an artilleryman, understood the importance of siege artillery, in order to be able to capture this city as soon as possible, he took out his most beloved 115 mm howitzer, at this time the artillery imported from Germany, this thing is still the technology stolen from China, Germany is now running an arsenal in Qingdao with the Chinese, and the goods are sold all over the world!
The Germans are not stupid, they started to produce in their own country after stealing some technology, this thing has not yet been equipped with Germany on a large scale, but who makes the light of Germany Russia unusual, just give Russia a few such howitzers!
Ilmanov personally came to the artillery position, he must open the gates of this city, he must take this city back before sunset, and after adjusting the gun position, he will start firing immediately!
As soon as the Chinese heard the sound of artillery breaking through the air, they immediately began to hide, and after the first round of artillery fire, the Chinese artillery began to lock on the Russian artillery positions, and in this era it was not understood that the other side would use artillery suppression and artillery fire to counterattack, but the Chinese artillery in Guangxu's artillery practice reference introduced many situations in detail, and how to deal with such a situation.
When the Chinese artillery calmly calculated the enemy's artillery position, they immediately began to return fire, this artillery general was very lucky, the Chinese artillery fire return was full coverage, the entire Russian artillery positions were razed to the ground, Ilmanov began to attack the city with his soldiers after the artillery fire, but he did not expect that his most cherished howitzer fired a round of shells and was reimbursed by the Chinese.
Abominable Chinese, rush me!
Ilmanov ordered his generals to attack immediately, as if he had gone mad, not to hesitate, not to be afraid of sacrifice, we have twenty times as many troops, so we must take this city, otherwise we will be really embarrassed.
So colorful battle flags were floated outside Tobolsk, and the flag of the Tsarist Empire was white, red and blue, but in this era, the cavalry regiments of Tsarist Russia had their own battle flags, and I saw light blue, red, and white Tsarist Russian cavalry battle flags fluttering around Tobolsk City, and they wanted to exterminate the Chinese inside.
But this desire of theirs was halted in the face of the same mad Chinese, Chinese who were frantically tilting shells and bullets, and anyone who dared to approach them was mercilessly wiped out, and they did not even have time to pray, nor did they have time to feel pain.
Looking at the intensive firepower of China, the Russian soldiers were not opponents at all, they could only rush to the city to target the Chinese in vain, first of all, the head of the Chechen cavalry regiment was gone.
He immediately ran to Ilmanov and spoke; "General! We can't attack like this anymore, such an attack is futile and useless, the Chinese's firepower is too fierce, we simply can't break through their firepower! ”
Ilmanov didn't know that there was a graveyard of death in front of them, but he couldn't stop advancing, they must take the city as soon as possible, but the pain in his heart couldn't talk to these generals!
So Ilmanov did not heed the advice of this regiment commander, but ordered; "The Chinese are now at the end of their strong crossbows, they have come from afar, supply difficulties, the two major wars they have just experienced, so this is the best opportunity to destroy them, these sacrifices at this time are worth it, we must destroy them before they have a chance to breathe."
Offensive!
Offensive!
On the offensive!
At this time, the Chinese were also at the end of the crossbow, and all the leaders in the city were all in Chengtou, including the personnel directly under the army of the Seventh Army, all of them were defending the city in Chengtou, and the Chinese knew that China and Russia had not yet kept the habit of keeping prisoners of war in many previous wars, at least the current Tsarist Russia did not have this habit.
As more and more corpses remained outside the city, the envoys of Tsarist Russia were also weakening, and they were also afraid of death, and now the Russian soldiers behind them already knew that the Chinese soldiers they were facing now were completely different from what they thought.
The present group of people is the devil who has been released from hell, and they are mercilessly reaping the lives of the people, and the best way to deal with these people is to ignore them from a distance, saying that it is gradually getting dark.
By this time it was getting dark, and the first day of the battle at Topolsko came to an end with the reluctance of the Russians.
Now China because it can produce plastic, so there is a sealed method to preserve food, and the food of the soldiers can be prepared quickly after a day of fighting, mainly because the equipment is convenient, in this vast steppe, fuel is a very important issue, but this problem is nothing here in the Chinese.
We have gasoline, and now Chinese businessmen are lining up in the Tarim oil field, and there are Chinese oil refineries, which are also working day and night, and China's kerosene is also one of the export products, but they are all exported in Shandong, and the Tarim oil fields are mainly used for military purposes.
After using up a few barrels of gasoline, the soldiers of the cooking company prepared the meal, and the current Chinese soldiers are no longer the same as the previous soldiers, not only until they are full, but also the energy pack specially equipped by the Central Army, which is sugar!
In that era, white sugar was definitely something that only the aristocracy could enjoy, but since Guangxu let people start to plant sugar beet on a large scale in the northeast, China's sugar production began to increase significantly, although China's sugar production can not be supplied to ordinary people in large quantities, but to ensure the needs of the army is still possible.
Then there is the problem of grain, China's future grain output will definitely increase significantly, but there are still certain difficulties, but China can import grain! In particular, Chinese goods are selling very well in the U.S. market, especially grain imported from the United States.
In particular, automobiles and chemical products have now begun to be sold all over the world with Chinese merchant ships, and Chinese merchant ships are everywhere in Europe, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and the Americas.
When these merchant ships returned, they brought back the goods that China needed, which were the grain, timber, ore and other raw materials that China needed, and China is now the world's largest trade surplus country. This kind of surplus is not a good thing, so Guangxu began to spend money all over the world, don't keep it, the world price will also soar in the future, and then it will depreciate, spending him and replacing it with materials is the safest way.
The Chinese soldiers no longer have the strength to go to the cooking class to receive food, they are so tired, this day has exhausted the energy they have accumulated for the first half of their lives, and now they don't want to move anything, they just want to sit there and smoke a cigarette!
But the sappers could not rest at this time, they set up searchlights, and when they came up, they began to drive away the soldiers who were sitting there and did not move, and then the soldiers of the cooking squad also came up, and they carried the cauldron, with steamed buns, and in the pot was sweet porridge, the sweet and greasy kind, but at this time the soldiers liked the most thing, and they were more happy than eating meat.
In the past, these bastards had already run over to line up, but today they were so tired that they didn't want to move at all, and then the soldiers of the cooking squad began to distribute food to everyone, to ensure that everyone could be late, and said when they left; "The meat is stewed! You'll be in line up to get it later! ”
In the temporary headquarters of the Seventh Army, Yang Liwen ordered the personnel to immediately count the battle report, today's battle is something he has never experienced before, it is really fierce in other countries, and the amount of ammunition consumed by the soldiers during the day must be a number that he dare not think about, the strength of an integrated division in the whole afternoon does not have a moment of ceasefire, how much ammunition will be consumed!
At this time, a staff officer ran to Yang Liwen's side and said; "General! Let's eat something first! You haven't eaten in a day! ”
Soon our ammunition was consumed, but Yang Liwen was still pacing back and forth, and the cigarette butt in his hand was about to burn his hand again. "Are the statistical results out, and have the staff been contacted?"
The staff officer said; "Our sappers are debugging the generator, as long as the generator is working properly, the staff will soon be contacted!"
At this time, another staff officer came over and reported to the general!
Yang Liwen said; "Let's talk about it!"
The staff officer said; "Our observations have roughly come to the conclusion that today we have annihilated a total of between 60,000 and 70,000 enemy troops!"
At this time, Yang Liwen immediately stood up, what!
You're not saying a zero!
The general can't be wrong, there are so many corpses lying outside the city now that we have no way to count them accurately, but the number we report is still a conservative estimate!
Yang Liwen said; "At this time, the first merit of our Seventh Army! From today onwards, the honor of our Seventh Army is unshakable, and this is the result of everyone's hard work, and I must strive for the honor and rewards you have won from the emperor! ”
At this time, another staff officer also came and said; "Report to the general, the results of our statistics have come out!"
Speak!
We consume ammo in total! More than 500,000 rounds!
How much!
More than 500,000 rounds!
Are you sure!
Checkmate! It's really a lot of ammunition consumed, and the ammunition we consumed in this battle is very amazing!
Yang Liwen immediately began to scold at this time; These losers! Do you know how much effort I wasted with the chief of staff at this time, you guys, you guys, you used 500,000 rounds in one day! ”
500,000 rounds!
When he left Urumqi, he fought the autumn wind with the First Army of the Pro-Guard Army and Lu Yongxiang's Sixth Army, and took away the stocks of these two armies and the entire Xinjiang, and he still couldn't forget the eyes of Rong Shangqian and Lu Yongxiang when they came, just like an old woman who watched her daughter-in-law dump things into her mother's house, that kind of unwilling look.
If it weren't for the emperor's support, he would be very afraid of offending these two characters!
But thinking of today's ammunition consumption, he really regretted that he should have been ruthless and brought a little more, and at the same time sighed that the emperor was really wise!
But he has a million rounds of ammunition left, and with the current consumption, he has no way to hold this city at all, so it is urgent to contact the staff as soon as possible!
Yang Liwen stood up and spoke; "Judging from today's situation, the reinforcements of Tsarist Russia have arrived, and our reinforcements are also on the way, and we must guard here before a new order is issued, so tell everyone, all of them must cheer up!"
The staff officers all stood up and saluted!
Talked about; "Yes!"
Yang Liwen grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, he is going to see the situation of the injury now, we have a lot of injured soldiers in this battle, and the injuries in the war are mainly external injuries.
Came to the temporary councillor of the soldiers, where the faint sound of the wounded soldiers could be heard, Yang Liwen's arrival made these soldiers want to stand up and want to salute, but Yang Liwen immediately signaled everyone not to move.
A doctor was going to operate on a warrior, and the warrior seemed to be asleep, and Yang Liwen came over to say; "Can't you really hold his legs?"
The lieutenant colonel medic said; "No, the injury is too bad!"
Yang Liwen said; "Do we have enough medicine?"
The doctor said; "The consumption of anesthetics is too great, and some fighters can't help but start yelling, so there is no way but to use anesthetics for them, this thing really can't be used more, it's addictive!"
Yang Liwen didn't expect that there would be such a relationship, so he immediately ordered that all these injured and sick guns be confiscated, and the hospital was also equipped with military police, and he must obey the doctor's words, and he can't use morphine as an anesthetic casually!
