Chapter 281: Four Days Later

Early morning, October 2, 1900. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are snowflakes floating in the gloomy sky, the first snow of this year, came later than in previous years, although the snow is not big, but the night has passed, the entire Aihui area is still covered in silver, there is only one place, the snow has fallen and melted, because this land has long been stained red by blood.

Four days ago, Tsarist Russia drove the people to knock on the pass, which caught the Black Dragon Army off guard and had to give up the second checkpoint, however, in front of the third checkpoint, the Black Dragon Army withstood the pressure, used the killing of prisoners, deterred the invading enemy, and notified the world with a clear telegram, exerting all kinds of pressure on Tsarist Russia, and finally returning the war to normal.

In the past four days, the war has not stopped for a moment in the wolf domain, and killing has become the only theme in the wolf domain.

The name of the meat grinder, finally, let the wolf domain enter the eyes of people all over the world.

Although Tsarist Russia used the people to knock on the pass, and once let Yue Weihua and the top of the Black Dragon Army want to carry out a large-scale retaliatory attack on Tsarist Russia, however, in the end, reason prevailed over recklessness, and Yue Weihua adhered to the strategic policy that had just been formulated at the most critical moment and fought with a new plan.

On September 28th, the day when Tsarist Russia drove the people to knock on the pass, after the final Tsarist Russia dispersed the people, it successively invested more than 20,000 troops (more than 20,000 troops were not invested at one time, but successively invested, after all, the battlefield of the third level is only so big, and it is the limit to launch three or four thousand people at one time, after all, the density is too high, and in the face of artillery attacks, the casualties will be too great), launched a ferocious attack on the third pass, and in the face of the tidal impact, Yue Weihua used three regiments of troops to defend, two of which were in the third pass, One regiment is in the fourth level, in addition, the 1st Field Artillery Regiment and the 2nd Field Artillery Regiment also gave great fire support at the critical moment of the war.

The battle lasted until midnight, with more than 7,000 dead and wounded on the Tsarist side, while more than 300 people were killed and more than 500 wounded on the Black Dragon Army.

On September 29, Tsarist Russia began to launch a fierce attack again at three o'clock in the morning, and again invested more than 20,000 troops, while the Black Dragon Army, in accordance with the newly formulated battle plan, gradually reduced the input of troops and firepower, although on this day three more regiments participated in the battle, but the number of troops invested was less than 4,000, and the investment in artillery was also directly reduced by 10%.

It was another 24-hour continuous hard battle, in which the Tsarist side again killed more than 6,000 people, and the Black Dragon Army side killed nearly 300 people and wounded more than 400.

At this point in the battle, Tsarist Russia no longer has a reorganized division, and has to reorganize the remaining more than 50,000 troops, however, because of the Black Dragon Army, in two consecutive days, the gap between the number of troops and firepower has made Tsarist Russia see hope and greatly encouraged the top level of Tsarist Russia.

On September 30, after the reorganization, Tsarist Russia once again invested the strength of two new divisions, totaling more than 20,000 people, while the strength invested by the Black Dragon Army was reduced again, and the total number of three regiments in battle was only about 3,500 people.

Of course, although the Black Dragon Army's investment in strength and firepower has been limited, but because of the more tacit cooperation of the various departments, the use of artillery has become more reasonable, resulting in the killing and wounding of Tsarist Russia is still unabated, in this day, Tsarist Russia still suffered more than 5,000 battle losses, while the Black Dragon Army killed only more than 200 soldiers, wounded about 300.

On October 1, although it had been fighting for three consecutive days, resulting in nearly 20,000 casualties in Tsarist Russia, because of the decline shown by the Black Dragon Army and the snowflakes that sometimes fell in the sky, the Tsarist Russian high-level became more crazy, and the attacks on the battlefield became more fierce.

On this day, Tsarist Russia still invested more than 20,000 troops, and the Black Dragon Army resisted with 3,000 soldiers to block the waves of Tsarist Russia's attacks like a tide, and finally broke the third pass when the sky was slightly bright on October 2, and directly advanced the main force of the new rotation to the fourth pass, that is, at the foot of Wolf Head Ridge Mountain.

After four consecutive days of operations, Tsarist Russia lost a total of more than 24,000 battles, and the Black Dragon Army actually killed about 1,000 (showing more than 5,000 casualties), and the ratio of battle losses between the two sides reached 24 to 1, which can be regarded as a historical record.

At the second level of the wolf domain, in the cabin of a river ship full of holes, the high-level of Tsarist Russia gathered again.

Since winning the second level, Tsarist Russia has moved the general headquarters here, although the river ships and gunboats are in tatters, but in terms of the ability to resist bombing, it is by no means comparable to civilian houses, and it is naturally the safest to put the general headquarters here.

"The third level, we won."

Cuzosco's eyes were scarlet, there was not only a reason for not sleeping well, but also an element of excitement, with venting and roaring in his deep voice, however, he didn't think at all about how many lives he had used to get the third level in his mouth.

In fact, not to mention Kuzuosco, almost all the Russian soldiers, from generals to ordinary soldiers, no longer know what sacrifice is, what death is, and what is fear, because since they came to the wolf domain, more than half of the soldiers around them have been killed or wounded, and their comrades-in-arms, their commanders and subordinates, have died too much, even if they are lucky to survive, the one is not rolling three times in the blood, especially in the past four days of hard fighting, the god of death will take them away at any time, so they are really numb.

"Yes, victory is at hand." Deputy Commander-in-Chief Nikola Cage echoed.

"According to the calculations of our staff department, the Black Dragon Army should have less than 5,000 capable soldiers, and more than half of them may be wounded, except for artillery, of course." Chief of Staff Kirilenko added.

Kirilenko's 87th Division, after the '10,000 artillery salvos' organized by Yue Weihua, only about 6,000 troops remained, and now, the 87th Division no longer exists, and the remaining less than 1,000 people of the original 87th Division have all been incorporated into the new division, and Kirilenko is no longer holding the position of division commander, but is relieved to be the chief of staff, and the staff headquarters has been supported, and battlefield statistics and strategic deduction have naturally become the responsibilities of the staff headquarters.

Because Tsarist Russia did not know that the Black Dragon Army had transferred almost all the light and serious wounded, but mistakenly thought that in addition to the war dead, the wounded of the Black Dragon Army should continue to participate in the war, so Kirilenko predicted that most of the existing 5,000 or so troops of the Black Dragon Army were wounded, and in fact, the more than 5,000 troops left by the Black Dragon Army were basically unscathed.

"What is the situation of our divisions, do you have detailed statistics?" Cuzosco asked.

"The new 101st Division and the 102nd Division suffered heavy casualties, each with less than 7,000 troops left, and the 103rd, 104th, and 105th Divisions suffered relatively light battle losses, each with sacrifices ranging from 1,150 to 2,000 each, excluding the wounded who could not participate in the battle for the time being, and the total number of troops that could be put into battle was about 35,000." Kirilenko replied.

The reorganization on September 30, Kuzuosco was really drastic, all the wounded who could not participate in the war, all the eliminated, not only eliminated, but also all the wounded who could not participate in the war within half a month, all were transferred, so that the burden of the whole army could be greatly reduced, but also many wounded died in the transfer, of course, even if these people were not transferred, they basically could not survive, after all, in this era, but all the seriously wounded, it is basically difficult to survive, and the lightly wounded also depend on the situation, depending on luck.

Not only that, Cuzosco even superstitiously believed that it was not good to use the number of the previous troops, so after reporting to the country, he re-assigned the new number to the five newly formed divisions, that is, the 101st to 105th divisions, and the casualties of these five divisions were mainly caused by the last two days of fighting.

"Thirty-five thousand?" Kurzuosco frowned, and then asked, "How long will it take for reinforcements to arrive?" ”

Although Kirilenko said that the remaining strength of the Black Dragon Army may be less than 5,000 people, and more than half of them may be wounded, but even so, Kuzosco does not think that his own 35,000 people can solve the remaining 5,000 'remnants of the Black Dragon Army'.

As for the reinforcements, it is the troops recruited by Tsarist Russia in several major cities in the Far East, and they are actually just farmers or unemployed, because they have not been trained as recruits, and even many of them do not have weapons in their hands, so they are directly and urgently transported in the direction of the wolf domain.

"It will take about two days, the first batch of reinforcements is about 5,000 people to be able to arrive in Aihui, and the remaining 25,000 will take three to four days." Kirilenko said.

"It's only 30,000 people, don't you say there are 50,000?" Kurzuosco asked with a frown.

"Originally, there were 50,000 of them, but recently, on the side of Shengjing, the Dongying monkeys are restless and often make trouble, and even there is movement in Dongying itself, so the army headquarters transferred 20,000 people from the reinforcements and transported them directly to Shengjing Lushun and other places by sea, which was a notice received half an hour ago." Kirilenko said helplessly, in fact, he didn't dare to say that the 20,000 people who were transferred away were the elite of the 50,000 people.

"What does this mean by the War Department?" Cuzosco said angrily.

"Maybe it's because after hearing the news that we won the third level, the War Department changed its attention." Nikola Cage interjected, and continued: "And on Shengjing's side, the Dongying people are indeed unstable, and Carrisius, who stayed in Shengjing, explained the situation to me several times, hoping that our side can end the war as soon as possible, otherwise, Carisius thinks that the Dongying people may make a move." ”

I have to say that Yue Weihua took the parameters and drawings of the Browning light machine gun and automatic rifle, plus ten sample guns each, and handed them over to the Dongying Observation Group, and the Dongying people really made some efforts, not only did the Dongying Observation Group leave Aihui three days ago, but at the same time, there was a lot of movement in Shengjing and other places, and there were even continuous rumors that Dongying itself was already gathering troops, so that the Tsarist Russian War Department had to transfer troops to Shengjing.

Of course, 20,000 more and 20,000 less reinforcements don't matter to the Black Dragon Army, but if you can make the little devil and Lao Maozi get dirty so quickly, then it's worth it.

Speaking of the Dongying Observation Mission, I will say by the way, in fact, the French Observation Mission has also left in three days, and the Dongying little devil is the front and rear feet, very tacit understanding, moreover, the French Observation Mission has just left, and the Italian and Austrian Observation Missions, also under the urging of the telegram of the ministers of the two countries, quickly set off, speaking of the departure of these two countries, it is really helpless, to be able to leave safely, the ministers of these two countries are already burning incense, of course, if they wait for two more days, I am afraid they will not leave, Even France and Dongying may not leave so easily, of course, if they don't leave, the Black Dragon Army will not show its decline so early.

Of course, the temptation of the Black Dragon Army's new weapons is still very great, but Dou Nale and Conger use the weapons and equipment urgently needed by Tsarist Russia as a condition to blackmail Tsarist Russia, once Tsarist Russia defeats and gets the weapons and drawings of the Black Dragon Army, then Britain and the United States must make a copy, and the captured sample guns and cannons also need to be given to some British and American observation groups.

Therefore, the so-called six-nation observation group has gone to the fourth, and the so-called eight-nation coalition is even more in the mirror.

Back to business.

In the face of Nikola Cage's explanation, Kuzuosco wanted to scold, after all, it had already cost so much here, and he was about to win, if it affected the ending because of these 20,000 people, he was afraid that Kuzuosco would have the intention of eating people, but Nikola Cage and the War Department had a good reason, and the Dongying people were ready to move, if Dongying took the opportunity to eat Shengjing, then Tsarist Russia would destroy the Black Dragon Army, but it would really be a wedding dress for the Dongying people.

Thinking of this, Cuzosco had to sigh and say, "Since that's the case, then let them go." ”

After a pause, Kurzuosco asked Nikola Cage again, "How is the Black Dragon Army's force in Murgen City, how are you investigating?" ”

The existence of the Xigang Army Division of the Black Dragon Army has actually always contained a large number of peripheral forces of Tsarist Russia, of course, if it were not for the decline of the Black Dragon Army in the Wolf Domain, seeing that victory was in sight, Tsarist Russia would not have the energy to take care of that side, but once this side is victorious, then the next step is naturally to encircle and suppress the Black Dragon Army forces, so it is natural to pay attention to it in advance.

"There is no trace of them in Murgen, they seem to have disappeared out of thin air." Nikola Cage said, I have to say that Tsarist Russia's intelligence capabilities are really poor, and there is no comparison with the little devils, and it is no wonder that in the Russo-Japanese War in later generations, it will have superior forces, but in the end it was defeated in the hands of the little devils.

"A team of thousands of people can't just disappear." Kuzuosco paused before continuing: "After all, this is still the territory of the Qing court, you go and ask Zeng Qi to see if he has any relevant information." ”

"Yes." Nikola Cage shook his head and said: "Speaking of the Qing army, they have been working hard recently, in my opinion, it is better to transfer the Qing army here." ”

"Forget it, I have already mentioned this matter to Zeng Qi, but Zeng Qi disagrees." Cuzosco said.

"What?" Nikola Cage said angrily: "He dares not to listen to the dispatch? ”

"Hehe, the Qing army still has nearly 30,000, not much less than us, and we are all tired soldiers, Zeng Qi is naturally more confident, if we are in a hurry, forcing the Qing army and the Black Dragon Army to be embarrassed, then this battle will really be impossible to fight." Kuzuosco said helplessly.

"Are you worried that the Black Dragon Army will be recruited by the Qing Army?" Nikola Cage said.

"Yes, everything is possible, especially as the war approaches, so for the time being, we can't force the Qing army, and we can just settle accounts with them after the war."
