July 12, 9th year of the Republic of China.

On this day, the "Brest Counterattack" begins!

At 4:30 a.m. on the 12th, all the Chinese artillery on the front line roared.

The earth-shattering shelling instantly woke up the sleeping earth. Countless shells, with a sharp whistling, rose on the battlefield with pieces of demonic fire.

The counteroffensive of the Chinese began!

July 12 was bound to become an eternal illness for Tukhachevsky and the Red Army units under his command.

The artillery shells blasted the Red Army positions into flames, and the Red Army, which was suddenly attacked, was soon in confusion.

The shelling never seems to stop, and the Chinese will never stop shelling without firing the last shell!

Under such shelling, it was difficult for the Red Army to reorganize its positions in disarray.

And at this time, the Chinese assault began!

With new reinforcements, the main forces of the 5th, 6th, and 7th divisions of the National Revolutionary Army, which had never been used by Liu Zhaocheng, quickly attacked the weak points in the enemy's center!

At 6 o'clock, the 4th and 15th armies of the Russian army in Brest were broken through! Its line of defense is surrounded by everything

Immediately, Liu Zhaocheng threw all the main forces of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th divisions into the attack with only one goal:

The Fourth Army of the Russians!

The most attacked was the 3rd Brigade under the command of A.A. Chebotalev!

Chebotalev must face the onslaught of his old rival Rao Guohua's 2nd Division! The only difference is that this time the offense and defense have been reversed.

Powerful firepower to support the infantry attack!

Article 2 of the "Chinese Infantry Combat Code" personally formulated by Wang Hengyue, President of the Republic of China:

"No matter how small the caliber of the weapon, no matter how small the number of weapons, always support the infantry offensive with firepower."

The Chinese divided the offensive forces into numerous squads, and after each attacking squad, there was often a machine-gun group of fire support.

The task of the machine gun team is not to ask them to destroy as many enemies as possible, but to suppress the enemy's fire as much as possible, so that their attack team can complete the assault at close range!

Article 6 of the Chinese Infantry Combat Code:

"Whoever fires first and can fire the heaviest concentrated fire will win."

Infantry is an ace unit personally trained, commanded, and mastered by Wang Hengyue, President of the Republic of China!

Now this ace unit showed a strong offensive power in front of the Russians.

They did not chant slogans, and even less "Ula".

Even, their attack was "quiet" except for the constant sound of gunfire. But it was in this terrible "quiet" that they completed one breakthrough after another

A large number of Russian positions inexplicably fell into the hands of the Chinese, and the defeated Russians did not even know how the Chinese seized their positions.

Article 12 of the Chinese Infantry Combat Code:

"The troops must learn to move quietly and silently!"

A． A. Chebotalev almost fell into a collapse. He was up against an elite and well-trained force. It can even be said to be a group of combat-specific robots.

The Red Army's enemies, who strictly followed the rules of infantry attack, carried out surprise attacks and attacks of seemingly modest proportions in small units, encroaching on the enemy's positions and finally forcing the enemy to a dead end.

Under such an attack, the Russians were defeated one after another, and there was no room for even the slightest counterattack.

Advanced infantry offensive tactics are most fully manifested here!

In just over an hour of attack, most of the positions of the 3rd Brigade had already been broken through by the Chinese, and the Russian troops on both sides were simply unable to give the 3rd Brigade the most direct and powerful support under the heavy blows of the Chinese.

At 7 o'clock, Chebotalev's brigade headquarters was directly attacked.

Chebotalev was stationed here with a regiment of troops, hoping for reinforcements from the General Headquarters, but such hopes were soon dashed.

The Chinese troops on the offensive obviously meant that they had caught a big fish. However, they did not rush to attack.

They first began to clear the surrounding enemy, and then began to carry out several tentative attacks under the cover of fire.

The Russians were clearly wrecked there, and they concentrated all the firepower they could muster to block the enemy's attack. …,

The Chinese stopped their attack and began to have the Russian interpreter shout at the other side, telling them that they were already under siege, that there was no way to escape, and that the only thing that awaited them was surrender or merciless annihilation.

Article 8 of the Chinese Infantry Combat Code:

"In all offensive battles, use the psychological factor to create panic among the enemy!"

The Russians were somewhat agitated, but soon calmed down under the stern reprimand of the officers.

Taking advantage of this time, the Chinese also built temporary simple fortifications.

Article 10 of the Chinese Infantry Combat Code:

"As long as the troops stay in one place longer than a short pause, they should build fortifications!"

Mortars also pulled up!

The National Revolutionary Army did not use this weapon much during the Northern Expedition in China, but it did not need to be used much on the Russian battlefield.

The preparations of the Chinese were carried out in a hurry.

After completing thorough preparations, the shelling began.

Mortar shells emitted a sharp and piercing whistling and exploded among the Russians. The flames rose as if they were singing the funeral songs of the Russians.

Then the light and heavy machine guns opened fire in unison, accompanied by a loud roar of mortars, suppressing and killing the enemy.

Article 8 of the Chinese Infantry Combat Code:

"All the arms of the armed forces must coordinate their offensive battles in the simplest way possible!"

At this time, the squadron used the simplest, or most direct and violent way to solve the battle here.

Under mortar shells and machine guns, the Russians suffered heavy casualties.

Two soldiers were blown up into the air, and by the time they fell, one soldier had been blown up to the point where he was unrecognizable, while the other soldier had lost an arm and a leg, and was lying in a pool of blood and wailing miserably.

There is nothing more great than the psychological blow inflicted on the Russians on the battlefield by the wailing of their own companions!

The positions of the Russians were destroyed, and the number of Russian casualties increased dramatically.

Then, with the fire support of the machine-gun group, the Chinese infantry returned to the attack.

The resistance encountered is not as great as before, and some positions are even quiet, maybe the Russians on the positions are all dead, right?

However, the Chinese soldiers did not take it lightly, as they approached the fortifications, they first threw a volley of grenades, waited until the "boom" explosion had passed, and then fired a burst of fire from their submachine guns before rushing into the position unhurriedly.

Article 17 of the Chinese Infantry Combat Code:

"It is necessary to prove that there is no enemy resistance on the position before you can choose to completely occupy the position!"

From the first day of their careers, the Chinese infantry must strictly remember every point of the infantry offensive code and meticulously implement it on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, no one can violate this code of battle!

Defeat is allowed in battle, but the code is never allowed to be destroyed, otherwise, what awaits those who break the code will be the most severe punishment!

The great superiority of the Chinese soldiers in front of the Russians was built on this basis:

They have firmly imprinted the "Chinese Infantry Combat Code" in their souls, and they have completely regarded it as an organic part of their bodies on the battlefield.

And the Russians are also deeply aware of this.

A． A. Chebotalev knew that the fate of defeat was irreversible. He commanded the few remaining soldiers in the last resistance.

And the reinforcements, but they haven't seen a shadow for a long time. One

Bad news came one after another, the Chinese offensive was unstoppable, and they would soon appear outside their brigade headquarters.

Chebotalev, while ordering the burning of classified documents, organized all the personnel of the brigade headquarters, distributed weapons to them, and tried to mobilize them to shed their last drop of blood for their cause.

Chebotalev was ready to dedicate himself to his cause.

This is a staunch Bolshevik, he does not care about bloodshed and death, he wants his subordinates to be as brave as he is in the face of all the challenges that come their way!

He heard gunfire outside, already right here at the brigade headquarters.

Looking at the ashes that burned into a pile, Chebotalev grabbed his weapon:

"Comrades, the time has come to dedicate oneself to the great cause, let us fight and die here together, long live the Soviet Republic!"

Then, he rushed out with all the people.

On July 12, 9 years of the Republic of China, the commander of the 4th Brigade of the 3rd Army of the Soviet Russian Red Army, A.A. Chebotalev, was killed on the battlefield.

He also became the first high-ranking Russian officer to die in the "Brest Counterattack".

Chebotalev was killed in battle, but the "Brest counterattack" had just begun, and the Chinese would never stop the offensive for the sake of the death of a Russian brigade commander.

For those Soviet and Russian officers and soldiers, their nightmare had just begun.

All their so-called "victories" before were just paving the way for the Chinese's great counteroffensive. Now it's finally time for them to start tasting the Chinese counterattack.

The battlefield was full of gunsmoke, and the shouts of Chinese were everywhere. The Russians were beaten and fled, often followed by a large group of Chinese soldiers.

In the dictionary of Chinese soldiers, there are now only two words: attack!

Article 1 of the Chinese Infantry Combat Code:

Attack, attack, attack! Clear
