Chapter 931: Fighting Ge Mountaineering (2)
"Brothers, the business is here, ready to start!"
Russians are generally tall and strong, coupled with a straight blue military uniform, it does look extremely powerful, not to mention the tactical literacy, just this kind of appearance is quite good, waiting for tens of thousands of people to step on the drum, the momentum can be described as a rainbow, but the Qing army left Yin general Zhang Miao is not only not afraid, but excited, no side, in his opinion, the Russians such an old hat of the offensive method, not to fight at all, but to give him Zhang Miao to send war merits, not a big killing, I'm really sorry for the good intentions of the Russians.
"Wow!"
Zhang Miao is the main general, he can laugh and talk at will, but Li Mingliang and other generals dare not talk nonsense, so they can only bow down and obey the promise.
"Each to the headquarters, follow the orders of the generals!"
Laughing and laughing, at the moment of such a big enemy, Zhang Miao still didn't dare to ignore it too lightly, and didn't say any more, waving his hand to drive the main generals back to the headquarters. br/>
"All regiments are there, attack!"
Seryotsev, the commander of the first division of the Second Siberian Frontier Army of Russia, is only thirty-three years old, born in a wealthy family, was originally a regiment commander in the First Guards Army, after coming to the Far East with the Guards last year, relying on the power of his family, he was promoted to major general and division commander, thinking that he would make enough military achievements in the Far East, in order to lay a solid foundation for future promotion, he is arrogant, and has never been in anyone's eyes, even his colleagues and superiors do not pay much attention to it, let alone those opponents who look short on the other side, This unit marched to a distance of about 400 meters from the Qing army's array, and did not wait for the first division of the Third Army, which was a little behind, to catch up, and even before the artillerymen who were desperately pushing their guns forward were in place, they could not wait to issue the order to attack.
"Knock, knock, knock......"
There is no brigade in the Russian army, a division of four regiments, each regiment four battalions, each battalion of 500 people, each with eight drummers, each company is a row, each end of each drummer, the order to attack, all the drummers immediately beat the march drum order, in an instant, the passionate drum beat suddenly loud, rows of Russian officers and soldiers marched forward with guns, ready to fire at any time.
"Order: Artillery fire, fuck me up!"
Seeing that the Russian army was actually lining up towards his own array, Zhang Miao's eyes lit up, and he didn't see the Russian officers and soldiers who were attacking, but a lot of feats that could move around, and there would be no politeness at all, so he gave the order with a cruel smile.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
As soon as Zhang Miao's order was given, the herald standing beside him quickly waved two small flags and sent the order to the artillery position, and immediately, the two artillery regiments lined up at the front of the position of the first division of the Second Army immediately began to shoot the show, but listening to the rumbling of the artillery, more than 150 shells of different sizes whistled through the sky, overwhelmingly smashed towards the Russian military formation marching highly, and in an instant, a ball of fire exploded, and countless shrapnel swept in all directions, and the density was so great, Poor Russia is all huddled together, how can there be the slightest room to dodge, just such a round of shelling, hundreds of people were killed on the spot, and I don't know how many people were wounded, and the originally strict queue was suddenly in chaos.
"Artillery come forward and suppress enemy fire!"
The Russian army is worthy of being a division of a hundred battles, although it has never encountered such a strong artillery attack as the Qing army, but it has not been disorganized, under the order of the commanders of all sides, it quickly reorganized its formation, and it is still pressing forward, and Seryotsev, who is in the rear, roared and ordered the Russian artillery to step forward to support.
As the first division of the third army of the Russian army also put into the attack, the artillery of the three regiments set up at the front of the second division of the second army of the Qing Dynasty also began to shoot in turns, and the artillery of the whole five regiments fired one round after another. In addition to the light infantry guns of the artillery regiments, the battle defense artillery and heavy artillery were all turned to the battle with the Russian artillery, and invisibly, the suppressive firepower of the Russian infantry phalanx was reduced by half, even though the firepower of more than 200 light infantry guns was still fierce, but it was not enough to completely destroy the forced advance of the Russian army.
"Shoot, shoot!"
After paying a huge price in casualties, the Russian infantry phalanx finally advanced to a distance of less than 200 steps from the Qing army's position.
"Bang ......"
Although the tactics of the Russian army are very backward, but the courage of the soldiers is an indisputable fact, even in the face of such a fierce artillery fire of the Qing army, there has never been too much panic, even if the comrades around him are constantly blown up, but as long as they are alive, the execution of the order, but it is not the slightest discount, a row of guns under the indiscriminate shooting, it really caused some casualties to the Qing officers and soldiers who are preparing for battle, but the results of the battle are obviously not much, there is no side, although the range of the flintlock pistol in the hands of the Russian army is not close, but the soldiers dare not compliment, The Qing soldiers killed and wounded were only a few dozen, which was almost negligible compared to the huge casualties of the Russian army, which had reached more than 2,000.
"The artillery continues to bombard, don't stop, the departments have no orders, they are not allowed to shoot, stand by in place!"
With the firing of the Russian artillery and the platoon of guns in the infantry phalanx, people in the Qing army array also fell from time to time, although the casualties were not large, but it still inevitably caused some commotion.
"Order all troops to charge and kill!"
Standing behind the formation and commanding the battle, Huachaivsky saw that his two leading divisions were actually braving the artillery fire of the Qing army and firing a salvo, not only did he suffer heavy casualties, but he also did not have too many results to speak of.
"Ulla, Ulla......"
As soon as Huachaivsky's general order, the trumpeters who were on standby immediately blew the military horn, and then saw that the Russian officers and soldiers of the two divisions had loaded their bayonets one after another, and launched a wild charge with shouts - the Russian arquebus does not have bayonets, but the flintlock pistols equipped by the participating troops are all bought from France, and they are equipped with casing bayonets, and the standard is different from the Mitsubishi bayonet used by the Qing army, which is just a narrow blade, but the lethality should not be underestimated.
"Call me!"
Lao Maozi is a tall and strong person, and the momentum is really terrifying, but after a moment's effort, he has already rushed to a distance of about 100 steps from the Qing army array, and when he saw this, Zhang Miao didn't want to wait any longer, and gave the order with a roar.
"Da ......, Bang Bang ......"
Zhang Miao's general order, the horn immediately sounded violently, the commanders at all levels of the Qing army did not dare to slack off a little, and commanded all departments to start a fierce shooting, and the covering fire of the light infantry artillery was intertwined into a net of death, and in an instant, the surging Russian officers and soldiers swept down a large area, but even so, the red-eyed Russian officers and soldiers did not stop rushing wildly, and rushed towards the Qing army array one after another.
The Russians have a brute strength in their bones, although they have suffered heavy casualties, they are stunned and refuse to retreat, this rush, soon rushed to the distance of less than sixty steps from the artillery position at the forefront of the Qing army, and it is a pity that it has become a moat for the Russians to step into forever - barbed wire! As early as the Qing army set up the formation, it has set up two barbed wire fences in front of the position, which seem to be sparse and not very high, and the network constructed by the sparse five iron wires is only one person high, and it seems that it can be broken down with a rush, but the Russians can not overcome these two seemingly simple obstacles, countless soldiers are crowded in front of the barbed wire, and are shot down by the intensive fire of the Qing army in turns, and the corpses are stacked layer by layer, and the blood is drifting, and the state is really as miserable as hell on earth.
In the face of such huge casualties, the Russians finally couldn't stand it, no matter how the commanders at all levels roared, they couldn't stop the soldiers from fleeing in panic, the decline was revealed, the morale had completely collapsed, the strong attack of the two divisions, even the edge of the Qing army was not touched, so miserable and retreated, the corpses on the battlefield of the disgraced faction were more than 4,000 people, and the more than 100 artillery pieces put into the attack were lost nearly half, on the other hand, the Qing army, the total number of dead and wounded was only more than 150,000, and at this time, However, it has only been less than half an hour since the war began.
Dead silence, the dead silence of a faction, after the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, whether it was the victorious Qing army or the defeated Russian army, facing the miserable scene on the right-wing battlefield, they didn't know how to react for a while, hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides just stood still, and then, I don't know who shouted first, the Qing army array soon sounded a tsunami-like cheer, and on the other hand, the defeated Russian army array was still dark clouds and gloomy silence, this contrast is too great, Whether it was Grand Duke Gagarin on the top of the mountain, or Tolsky, who was standing at the temporary headquarters on the mountainside, their faces were all black.
"Order all units to defend tightly, and not to attack without authorization!"
Although Tolsky had witnessed the powerful firepower projection ability of the Qing army, he did not think that the Russian army would be worse than the Qing army after the redress, and it was with this idea that he would take the lead in launching an offensive, thinking that after the left flank opened up the situation, he would force a breakthrough from the middle road, but seeing that the left flank was defeated so miserably and so quickly, Tolsky did not dare to attack again, and was determined to defend to the death, intending to use his geographical advantage to thwart the Qing army's attack.
