In September 1911, while the world was bemoaning the astonishing decline of the Russian Empire, it was counter-attacked by two Eastern countries in turn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Russian army mobilized 200,000 people into the Heilongjiang River Valley, but was blocked by the Japanese with 150,000 people in Hailanpao, unable to take a step forward.

And after they transferred 200,000 people, there were only 300,000 on the Harbin front, and the Chinese took the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive.

The counteroffensive aroused worldwide interest because the Chinese dispatched the airship units that they had been hiding all along.

When tens of thousands of huge artillery shelled Zhengzheng for three hours on a 10-kilometer-long front, the Russians who bombed could not raise their heads, cleared all the peripheral obstacles, and all barbed wire and the like disappeared and were buried in the thick layer of soil that was blown out.

Immediately after that, 300 airships were dispatched, each airship hovered in front of a trench, first dropped bombs vertically, and then began to suppress strafing, at an altitude of up to 1,000 meters, the Russians' machine rifles did not work, and the Russians have been busy suppressing domestic rebellions in recent years, and they really have no chance to develop anti-aircraft guns to deal with airships.

In this way, in the stunned eyes of the spectators, the Chinese army stepped on the trenches of the Russian army, broke through the first line of defense of the Russians, the Russians retreated on a large scale, and the airship tail chased for five kilometers, and chased the Russians in front of the second line.

Wu Peifu's orders were like whips, mercilessly whipping every soldier on the front line, so that they could not stop, so that they could only keep moving forward and moving forward.

Within one day, the Russian army broke through the three lines of defense in a row, and sent troops to detour from both flanks, and the Russian army began a general rout, chasing all the way and retreating, which is not like a modern war at all, but more like a war in the era of cold weapons, the difference is that the heavy cavalry that led the era of weapons was replaced by an airship flying high in the sky.

The record is brilliant. The whole country boiled and rejoiced, but the damage was enormous, eight thousand casualties in one day. Since the start of the war, there have been only 5,000 casualties in total, and this day has exceeded the number since the start of the war, but the harvest is huge, and the 100,000 Russian troops who did not escape have become the biggest gain, and entered the Chinese prisoner camp.

The airship unit pursued the Russians all the way to Qiqihar. It was only when the Russians took refuge in the strong reinforced concrete fortifications that the attack was stopped.

Then the Chinese army began to advance towards Qiqihar, this time with the Chinese attacking, the Russians defending, and the whole world waited to see if the Chinese would create a new miracle after breaking through the field positions with airships, and break the solid steel-mixed offensive with new methods.

But to their disappointment, the Chinese stopped their attack and began to surround Qiqihar.

On the basis of superior forces, Yang Chao dispatched 500,000 troops. Surround the 100,000 Russian troops who fled to Qiqihar, build temporary fortifications, and dig trenches of more than 300 kilometers, the purpose of which is very simple, to attract Russian reinforcements and annihilate them.

Yang Chao has not yet been killed, to attack the steel concrete fortifications, what is more pleasant than to encircle the point and send reinforcements, the so-called military command is nothing more than to let his own side occupy an advantageous position as much as possible. Put the enemy army at a disadvantage, and the ultimate goal is nothing more than to destroy the enemy.

Since the goal is to destroy as many enemies as possible, why fight the enemy in an unfavorable situation. And not choose a more favorable time.

Of course, you can't really just surround and not fight, otherwise what's the point of the Russians coming to the rescue, so when you don't fight, you have to pretend to fight.

Artillery roared, outside the city of Qiqihar, on the fortifications built with trenches and fortresses. The massive shelling that falls every day, and sometimes does not stop shelling even at night, makes many Russians have a phobia of shells.

In this case, the Russian army, which had already been defeated once in Harbin, kept asking for support, and the Russian army in Manchuria set off.

100,000 reinforcements!

The Russians did not have enough troops, and they divided a large number of troops in Mongolia and Xinjiang, fought with Japan in Heilongjiang, and could not draw more troops on the Qiqihar front.

"It is clear that the Chinese are more flexible in their offensive than the Russians and the Japanese. It doesn't even feel like an orthodox educated general in command, but a trick of the market. ”

German war observers lowered their binoculars in the window of an airship.

The Briton next to him shrugged: "Maybe the commander of the Chinese is a market slippery head?" ”

The French, on the other hand, were very silent, and looking at the fighting power of the Russians, he began to wonder if the ally, which the French Republic had painstakingly defended at great cost, was worth it to woo.

Once, twice, and the third time they were pressed to the ground by the Eastern countries, the Russians' combat effectiveness has been seriously doubted by the Westerners, although the Westerners have not fought with the Russians, but they fully believe that they can easily kill the Russians, because no one will think that they are inferior to the two Eastern countries, if they have a war with the Russians, perhaps the only thing they need to consider is the bad weather in Russia, and the endless lack of chivalry and gentlemanliness, sneak attacks in the countryside.

"Colonel, the Chinese attacked Chita!"

Several people were discussing, and suddenly a receiver in the telegraph room hurried over, and he had just received a new message.

The German colonel immediately took the telegram, and a few words were repeated by the telegrapher, and the Chinese attacked Chita.

This airship is German, and Zeppelin can build an airship in Qingdao, there is no reason why there is no same factory in Germany, but because the cooperation with Yang Chao can speed up, the German government and military, which pay more and more attention to airships, continue to allow Zeppelin to work in China.

So the Germans also had airships of the same mass, at least of the same quality, or even better, in their own opinion.

The German colonel was the supreme commander of the airship, and he generously invited the military attachés of Britain, France, the United States, and other countries in China to watch the battle.

Watching the Germans hurriedly read the telegram, the other military attachés looked at him curiously, wondering how the Chinese had attacked Chita.

"Airship!"

The German colonel only said one term, and let these people understand the confusion.

Of course, it's an airship, and the Chinese soldiers can't fly over, so they can only fly there by airship.

But everyone was silent, this time it was the turn of the British, they felt that it was time to reassess the strength of the Chinese, on the front they saw three hundred airships, who thought that the Chinese still have other airship troops, how many airships the country is equipped with, and how many airships are used in the war.

They have seen the power of airships, thinking that it is the best choice for forcibly attacking field positions at present, many countries are forming their own airship fleets, but did not expect that the Chinese have been far ahead, first of all, the use of airship tactics, when they see the Chinese army in a wedge-shaped formation, following the airship behind the open road to move fast, they know that the Chinese have invented another airship tactic.

And what they can't see is that the Chinese airship bombed the Russian rear, hundreds of kilometers away from the hub Chita.

Just in the surprise of everyone, the battle on the front line began, and Russian reinforcements arrived, but they were very cautious and planned to build a starting position twenty kilometers away, but the Chinese did not give them this opportunity, and the airships bombed and strafed all the time, and then the attacking troops set off.

When the reinforcements did not have a foothold, the forward was eliminated, tens of thousands of people were repulsed, then pursued, rolled back, the Russians were in the camp step by step, there were already positions behind, but the simple field positions could not stop the intensive bombardment of airships at all, and the condescending vertical strafing of heavy machine guns also made them helpless, and once again the Chinese broke through the position, and before they could rescue Qiqihar, they had to retreat to Manchuria.

The Germans were smiling happily, the French were already completely disappointed in the Russian army, and the British began to think about what kind of impact the Russians who were completely expelled from the East would have on the balance of the East, and Britain would face two military powers in the East, a maritime country and a continental country, who should they support, whether to continue to maintain the Anglo-Japanese alliance, or to get closer to China?

The military attachés of other small countries are purely for the sake of the excitement, but are more able to discuss military issues from a purely military point of view, and the Americans are also among these small countries, and they are indeed only a small military country now.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, the experienced captain began to return to Harbin, with a group of preoccupied observation military attachés.

The next day the bad news came again, the Japanese captured Haisenwei, which is not surprising, when the Russian army was blocked by the Japanese in the area of Hailanpao, the Japanese had a calm time to attack Haisenwei along the Ussuri River south, they could not capture this seaport by sea, but from the land there was no resistance.

The Japanese opened the way with huge cannons, the bushido soldiers rushed wildly, and the weak garrison of Heisenwei could not stop it at all, and it fell within ten days of being besieged.

And in the south, the Russian army in Lushun, which had held out for two years, personally walked out of the fortress group at Heisenwei and surrendered to the Japanese.

It is not surprising that a fortress, besieged for two years, is strange if more than half of its soldiers die of vitamin deficiency and disease, even if there are ample food reserves.

At the same time, when bad news kept coming from the front, Comrade Vladimir, who thought that the time was ripe, finally began to revolt, and the sailors and dockers of St. Petersburg joined forces, captured the port, proclaimed the establishment of the Bushvik regime, and called on all the peoples oppressed by the tsar to rise up and overthrow the reactionary rule of the tsar!

"The Russians should be sensible and accept defeat!"

Britain, France, and the United States soon reached a consensus to mediate the Northeast War and restore peace to the East. (To be continued.) )
