Chapter 231: The First Battle of the Wolf Domain (3)

A hidden high ground in the Wolf Domain.

"Commander-in-chief, Nie Youcai called."

Two operators hurriedly came, one holding a telephone, the other dragging a telephone line, no way, where is the commander-in-chief, where is one of the temporary command headquarters, telephone, telegraph and other logistics auxiliary systems, all in place, fortunately, before the war Yue Weihua was selected, so four or five places to hide the place, to ensure that no matter where the battle occurs in the wolf domain, Yue Weihua can be in a safe area, on-site observation, naturally, these auxiliary operations and command systems must be in place in advance, so, the war together, Everything is in order.

"I'm Yue Weihua."

Yue Weihua took the phone, his tone was a little unkind, who let the 102nd regiment led by Nie Youcai almost leak in this first battle.

"Commander-in-chief, I intend to send three submachine gun companies to take the initiative, please approve it."

Of course, Nie Youcai also heard Yue Weihua's unhappiness, but he had been by Yue Weihua's side for a long time, and he knew that Yue Weihua's temper was relatively familiar, and he knew that explaining at this time was far better than using practical actions, so he simply didn't explain it and talked about it after the war.

"The war has just begun, and you're ready to take the initiative?" Yue Weihua frowned, and then asked, "Your regiment, what about the battle damage?" ”

"Report to the commander-in-chief, the future of war damage and statistics, but it is estimated that there are about 20 percent." Nie Youcai gritted his teeth and replied, it was really too powerful to bombard the heavy artillery, and many of them were on the battlefield at that time, so the sacrifice was indeed quite large.

Although he knew that the 102nd Regiment had suffered a lot of losses in battle today, but hearing Nie Youcai say two percent, Yue Weihua's heart couldn't help but tremble, you must know that it has only been about two hours since the start of the battle, and his own side has lost almost three hundred people, not counting the losses caused by the continuous shelling of Tsarist Russia in other parts of the Wolf Domain.

"Artillery, the opponent's artillery must be destroyed."

Yue Weihua pondered repeatedly in his heart, if he couldn't destroy the opponent's artillery system, then although the Black Dragon Army could also take advantage, it would definitely not be able to withstand the consumption of the other party, after all, the other party had an army of 160,000, and theoretically, it could still provide a steady stream of reinforcements, and his own side had more than 10,000 people, and it would be gone after the battle, so the matter of attrition could not appear.

"Commander-in-chief, can you say something?" Yue Weihua's silence made Nie Youcai on the other end of the phone a little anxious.

"What are you yelling about, it's just started, you're in a hurry." Yue Weihua shouted.

Of course, if he doesn't roar, Nie Youcai may not be able to hear it, because the gunfire on the frontline battlefield has never stopped.

"Commander-in-chief, this is a rare opportunity, so you should give me a sentence quickly." Nie Youcai said a little depressed, if it weren't for the cooperation of the artillery regiment, Nie Youcai would have directly made the attack, after all, as a front-line commander and fighter, this kind of decision-making power is still there.

Yue Weihua was silent for a moment, weighed it for a while, and then replied: "Nie Youcai, the battle has just started, and now is far from the time to take the initiative, besides, the opportunity is rare, it's just your personal opinion, I don't think the opportunity is good now, so this request is rejected." ”

Nie Youcai only saw that on the battlefield at this moment, the infantry and cavalry of the Qing army were bombarded and couldn't raise their heads, their morale was also low, and they were out of ground, but if the Black Dragon Army took the initiative to send cavalry to attack, it would be different.

First of all, the artillery on the side of the Black Dragon Army must be stopped.

Secondly, although your cavalry is very fast, the firepower is very strong, all with submachine guns, one top ten is no problem, but you don't look at how many people are on the battlefield now, an infantry association, a cavalry association, a total of more than 8,000 people, even if you have just been killed by your 102nd regiment, and now you have been killed by artillery bombardment, at most, even if the Qing army has killed 2,000 people at the moment, there are still more than 6,000 people, and you only want to take the initiative to attack with only 300 people, that is not an act of looking for death.

Of course, if you Nie Youcai plan to let three hundred cavalry form a death squad, then it is another matter, I believe that it is still possible for these three hundred people to replace the lives of the other party's two thousand, but this is obviously not what Nie Youcai wants, let alone what Yue Weihua wants.

……

The request to take the initiative was rejected, the battle still needed to continue, the artillery of the Black Dragon Army continued to bombard for ten minutes, and then stopped the shelling, after all, although the shelling was powerful, but after a long time, after the enemy in the movement war was prepared, the effect of the shelling would definitely be greatly reduced, so that the significance of the shelling would not be great, and a protracted war would eventually depend on people to fight.

"Charge."

"Kill."

As soon as the artillery of the Black Dragon Army stopped, Hairi Gusiro, the cavalry commander of the Qing Army, immediately led the team to charge, but when his eyes swept the entire team, he found that his subordinates had shrunk by almost a quarter, that is to say, just after a burst of artillery attack, he almost lost nearly a thousand soldiers and horses, which made Hairi Guciro's heart drip blood, this is all the team he brought out single-handedly, and they are all cavalry.

Then, the nightmare of Hairi Gusiro has just begun.

To tell the truth, it would have been an unwise move to use cavalry to rush through the pass, although the cavalry is fast, two or three thousand meters away, it is just a few minutes, but you don't want to think about how much bigger your target is, even if the opponent's bullet can't hit your person, as long as he hits your horse, you have to fall down, after falling, even if you are lucky enough not to fall to death, I'm afraid ninety percent will be trampled to death by your comrades.

"Order the whole regiment of heavy machine gunners, turn the spearhead, and aim at the opposing cavalry."

The cavalry of the Qing army was still thousands of meters away, and Nie Youcai directly ordered the heavy machine gunners to target the cavalry of the Qing army, after all, the threat of cavalry was still very great, and the position on his side was not high, only two or three meters, if they rushed up, the fun would be in trouble.

Da-da-da-da!

Da-da-da-da!

Da-da-da-da!

The firepower network composed of more than 20 Makqin heavy machine guns is also amazing, and the battlefield is almost 200 meters wide, and there are almost no dead ends, but the opponent is cavalry after all, and it will definitely be difficult to block the opponent with just 20 Makqin, so immediately afterward, the cannon sound rang out again.

Thundered!

Thundered!

Thundered!

There is no strong fire support from field artillery and heavy artillery regiments, but don't forget, all field regiments of the Black Dragon Army are equipped with mortars and grenadiers, of course, grenadiers are not good, the effective firing range is only three or four hundred meters, and now the Qing infantry is mainly used a few hundred meters away from the bombing position, but the range of mortars is not close, more than 2,000 meters.

A hundred mortars sounded at the same time on the position, although the caliber is much smaller than the field artillery heavy artillery, but the number is quite a lot, better than the soldiers who control the mortars, all of them are on the front line of the battlefield, the enemy is in their sight, the target and accuracy of the shelling is undoubtedly much stronger than those field artillery heavy artillery that is hidden in the ravines and ravines several kilometers away, and can only rely on the coordinates to carry out target strikes, so the lethality of these 100 mortars is really not weak.

"Damn, how can the other party have such strong firepower?"

The temporary headquarters of the Qing Dynasty coalition army of Tsarist Russia, Zeng Qi saw that his cavalry was first bombarded by the opponent's field artillery and heavy artillery and suffered heavy casualties, and his heart just relaxed after the artillery stopped, but he did not have a very dense heavy machine gun fire point in that short position of two or three hundred meters, and the defenders were the size of a regiment at the top of the sky, but they were equipped with so many heavy machine guns, as far as Zeng Qi knew, even if it was the main force of Tsarist Russia, it was a brigade equipped with heavy machine gun firepower, and it was far from so much.

However, what made Zeng Qi even more depressed was that the opponent not only had heavy machine guns, but also an astonishing number of light artillery, and the lethality caused by this kind of light artillery fired from the opponent's position would not even be much worse than that caused by field artillery and heavy artillery.

"General Zeng, the Black Dragon Army has used its main firepower to deal with the cavalry, obviously, the pressure on the infantry is much less at the moment, I think I can order the infantry to charge, after all, there is only a distance of two or three hundred meters, even if you run with your legs, it is a matter of one minute." Cuzuosco said bluntly, as for the casualties of the Qing army, he directly ignored them.

Originally, the vanguard of the infantry of the Qing army had already charged within 100 meters of the position of the 102nd Regiment, but because of the strong firepower output of the 102nd Regiment and the naval fleet, coupled with the support of the artillery regiment, they had to push to a distance of two or three hundred meters.

"Whew." Zeng Qi exhaled deeply, tried his best to control his emotions, and then continued: "Commander-in-chief, this battle, I'm afraid it can be over, the opponent's firepower is too fierce, our soldiers have been killed and wounded more than thirty percent, even if you charge again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win, after all, the war has just started today, mainly to try, the battle has been until now, the opponent's firepower configuration has basically been exposed, I think the next step, we should study it carefully, and formulate some targeted offensive and defensive measures, which is the right reason." ”

Zeng Qi said so, and Kuzuo Cisco was not reluctant, after all, on the first day of the battle, two brigades were dispatched, and the preliminary estimate was that there were two or three thousand dead and wounded, and the tentative purpose was basically achieved.

"Well, let me think about it."

Obviously, Kuzuosco is not willing to withdraw his troops so hastily, in his opinion, it is precisely because of the opponent's fierce firepower, and it has both long, medium and short-range firepower configuration, if it is withdrawn, then it will still have to pay the same or even higher price if it is re-launched to charge, and the forward of the Qing army, at this moment, is only two or three hundred meters away from the opponent's position, so it is withdrawn, unwilling.

More importantly, because of the successive defeats of the Western Route Alliance, coupled with the pit in the second station town last night, the morale is now very low, and Kuzuosco very much needs a victory to boost morale, even if it is a greater sacrifice, but as long as it can break the myth of the undefeated Black Dragon Army and re-boost its morale, it will be worth it.

Moreover, from the very beginning, Kuzuosco understood that if you want to destroy the Black Dragon Army, you must fill it with human lives, and through today's battle, Kuzuosco has recognized this, so, to put it simply, if you want to win in the end, then don't care how many soldiers die, if you pay attention to how many people died in each battle, then this battle is destined to not win.

After thinking about it for a long time, Kuzuosco finally gritted his teeth, and said firmly in his heart: In the battle with the demonic Black Dragon Army, there is no temptation or temptation, and every battle should be fought from the beginning in a decisive battle of life and death on the spot, and from the beginning, it is necessary to use the tactics of crowds to consume the opponent.

"Give me an order to Brigade Commander Littles, ordering him to immediately lead his troops into the battlefield from the left side to reinforce friendly troops, and tell him that in twenty minutes, we will carry out artillery fire on the opponent's position for ten minutes, and hope that after the artillery attack is over, Littlels's headquarters will at least succeed in joining the friendly infantry and cavalry in front of the enemy formation."

Cuzuosco directly issued the battle order, and he was not reluctant to Zeng Qi, because he also knew that it was okay to use the Qing army to tempt and tempt, and he could be cannon fodder, but it was undoubtedly a pipe dream to really expect them to attack the city and seize the land and take the opponent's main position.

"General Zeng, twenty minutes, your subordinates should be able to hold on."

……

The main force of Tsarist Russia was dispatched, of course, there was no reason to hide it from the eyes of the Black Dragon Army, the Litters Brigade had just walked out of Cuiliugou a few miles away, and Yue Weihua received the news here, for this reason, Yue Xiang, chief of the general staff, and Yang Fengxiang, the chief of the general staff, personally came to the temporary headquarters where Yue Weihua was.

"Hehe, it seems that the person who came is really not good, this is just the beginning, is Lao Maozi ready to fill it with human life?" Yue Weihua sneered.

"Actually, as long as the opposing coach is not stupid, he will definitely put on this posture from the beginning." Yang Fengxiang took over the topic and continued: "First, time is pressing, it is already late September, although it seems that the heavy snow came a little late this year, but no one dares to guarantee that it will be white tomorrow morning, so Tsarist Russia does not dare to delay, and cannot afford to delay; Second, they needed a victory to boost their morale and confidence in the commanders of the Qing and Russian armies. ”

"The general counsel is reasonable, but the other party does not play cards according to common sense, so our troop arrangement may need to make some adjustments?" Chief of the General Staff Yue Xiang proposed.

Originally, the strategy they formulated was to start from the first line of defense, each regiment took turns, each regiment held on for at least one day, and then rotated, now it seems that if the 102nd Regiment is allowed to hold on for one day, its battle losses may be too large, which will easily shake the morale of the army, and the opponent's three brigades are pressed up, plus artillery support, whether the 102nd Regiment can hold on is a problem.

"Well, I was also thinking about this issue just now, and the artillery fire of the other side just now is too fierce, I estimate that the fortifications of the first line of defense must have been damaged a lot, I am afraid that the time for the first line of defense to be broken through will be much earlier, after all, once the fortifications are seriously damaged, the soldiers will be more likely to be killed and injured, and at that time, even if the other party cannot break through, we may have to evacuate the first line of defense in advance, so our strategy does need to be adjusted." Yue Weihua said.

"The adjustment will definitely be adjusted, but the reinforcements of a main brigade of Tsarist Russia are about to go to the battlefield, so let's discuss how to reinforce the 102nd Regiment first." Yang Fengxiang reminded.

The combat effectiveness of a brigade in Tsarist Russia is far from being comparable to that of the Qing army, and if there is no reinforcement, the 102nd Regiment may not be able to withstand it, this is a fact.

"Let's follow the previous rotation order, let the 103rd and 104th regiments go to the battlefield in advance, put the 103rd regiment on the left flank of the 102nd regiment, and the 104th regiment on the right flank of the 102nd regiment to ensure that this battle is not lost." Yue Weihua said.

"Two regiments at once?"

"Hehe, since the other party wants to win, then we can't let them win, they add one brigade, let's add two regiments, it's not too much."

"I agree."

"I also second."
