The chief of staff of the Russian army is not as optimistic as the tsar, the army of the Xia Empire will definitely not be so weak, otherwise the Xia Empire will not defeat so many countries and forces, even Britain and France are not opponents, and become the new hegemon of the world, they must have some secrets, they must have set a trap ahead.

In the face of the optimistic tsar, the chief of the General Staff had no better advice and did not dare to say what was in his heart, since the 3rd Army had broken through, it was useless to say anything now, and could only wait for the latest results.

The 60,000-strong troops, plus the baggage vehicles, the whole team was more than 10 kilometers long. In front, the officers and men of the 1st Division were responsible for opening the road, followed by the 2nd Division to provide reinforcements at any time, then the military headquarters, artillery units, and baggage vehicles, etc., which were protected by local troops, and finally the officers and men of the 3rd Division were responsible for blocking the enemy behind the palace, and a Cossack cavalry regiment was constantly patrolling and guarding the hilly area along the left flank of the troops.

At 5 p.m., the commander of the 3rd Army ordered the troops to temporarily camp in Razdolinoye to rest. The 1st Division in front was stationed in the town of Kapayesov, 5 kilometers away from here, and was responsible for opening the road and guarding the road; The tail of the 3rd division in the rear was still in the town of Terekhovka; The army commander feared that such a long march could easily be cut off by the enemy, which was very unfavorable for concentrating superior forces to break through the enemy's blockade line.

The Chief of Staff of the 3rd Army advised: "Your Excellency, this is a plain area, surrounded by hills and rivers, and the enemy is very prone to ambushes, so you must order your troops to speed up their march. ”

"I understand what you mean, let the troops behind speed up the march, otherwise the troops' battle line is too long and it is not conducive to safety. I believe that the 5th Army of the Xia Empire has received the news that it will definitely deploy defenses to block us in the front, and it is necessary to let the officers and soldiers replenish their strength and break through the enemy's first blockade in one go, and the two blockade lines in the rear will be much easier. ”

The chief of staff thought about it for the same reason, although the first blockade line they encountered was an improvised line of defense, it was facing the north and the north, and the last two blockade lines were facing the south, as long as the first blockade line was broken, the last two would not be worried, and they could flank the enemy with the 2nd Army in Vladivostok.

Wang Dajun was very happy to get the news in time, which was exactly what he wanted, and the area where the enemy was resting was the battlefield he had chosen, and ordered the army to immediately complete the encirclement of the enemy army, and be ready to attack the enemy at any time, cut off the enemy from it, and gradually narrow the encirclement, so as to completely annihilate the enemy army.

Mercenaries of 3 brigades were placed to hide in the mountains north of the town of Raztorino Jeza; Ma Longtan set up his headquarters and artillery at Lao Yeling, southeast of the town of Razdolinoyesza, and stationed one division there, which was responsible for blocking the enemy's large forces, and annihilating one division of the enemy's vanguard with Fu Dianchen's division, which was 7 kilometers south of the town of Razdolinojeza.

By 7 p.m., all the officers and men of the 3rd Division had reached the town of Razdolinojeza; The Russian army was fully rested that night, and the army of the Xia Empire did not harass them, so that the Russian army was full of confidence in the future war.

That night, mercenaries from three brigades also arrived 2 kilometres north of the town of Raztorinojeza.

At 5 o'clock in the morning of October 2, the artillery on the Laoye Ridge took the lead in shelling the town of Razdolinojeza, and the airships began to bombard the town of Kapaisov, the garrison of the 1st Division of the enemy; The sudden shelling blinded the Russian army.

In particular, the bombing of the town of Kapayshov by airships directly used incendiary bombs; In order to annihilate the 1st Division as soon as possible, the officers and men on the airship dropped shells downwards to bomb at any cost.

"Boom, boom, boom......."

The sound of explosions was incessant, and with the sound of explosions, flames rose into the sky, and sparks flew in all directions. Even those scattered sparks are a mortal threat to Russian officers and soldiers.

The explosion of every shell is a verdict on the lives of Russian officers and soldiers, and it indicates the arrival of the end of many Russian officers and soldiers.

The dense shells beat the Russian army beyond cursing, and there were burning houses everywhere, flames soaring into the sky, survivors running and fleeing for their lives everywhere, and wounded people rolling on the ground in pain.

After a while, the whole town turned into a sea of fire. The huge flames that rose up lit up the night sky, and they could be felt dozens of miles away.

The airship bombed the area for only 10 minutes, and then quickly moved north to support the bombardment of the town of Raztorinoyesza, where there were 50,000 Russian troops and the town of Raztorinoyesza was the main battlefield.

The power of the incendiary bomb is so great that you can't feel its horror without experiencing it once; The bombing alone caused the death of more than one-third of the officers and men of the Russian army, and the remaining personnel were more seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness.

At this time, Major General Fu Dianchen led the 3rd Division to attack from the south, and the cavalry brigade of the army attacked from the north; The loud shouts and hooves of horses overwhelmed the groans and cries for help of the Russian officers and soldiers in the town.

The Russian officers and soldiers in the town have been surrounded by the fire and the officers and soldiers of the Xia Empire, and they have no escape; Only some officers and men who were on duty outside the town were not bombed by the airships, and seeing that things were not good, they quickly fled into the mountains on the east and west sides, and whether they could survive or not could only depend on the will of God.

In order not to affect the next battle, Fu Dianchen was unwilling to leave anyone to guard the prisoners, so he ordered not to accept the prisoners and kill all the Russian officers and soldiers.

This is a war to recover the country, and the morale of the officers and men of the 3rd Division is high, although their division is adapted from the original bandit members, but this does not mean that they are not patriotic, it does not mean that they are not enthusiastic, and they are very supportive of such an order.

The cavalry division quickly surrounded the town from the left and right, and the Russian officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to escape from the town became ghosts under the cavalry sabers before they could come.

The ensuing battle became uninspiring, and the battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour, leaving a battalion of officers and soldiers to clean up the battlefield and refill the corpse of each Russian soldier; The cavalry division left a battalion of officers and men to be on guard around the town to prevent fish from slipping through the net; The rest of the men immediately advanced to the town of Razdolinojeza, five kilometers to the north, and now was a good time to reap the benefits, and they did not want to miss it.

Airships joined the bombing, and the bombing efficiency was greatly improved, so that the town of Razdolinoyesa repeated the tragic situation of the town of Kapaisov, and the town of Raztorino yesa soon turned into a sea of fire, and the Russian officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

The commander of the 3rd Army wanted to cry without tears, and the chief of staff of the army was also stunned, God gave them hope of escape, and so quickly made them desperate, just the bombardment of the enemy army made tens of thousands of troops lose their combat effectiveness, officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and their baggage was burned, how could they hold on even if they broke through the encirclement?

The earth-shattering shouts from the north and south of the town made the Russian troops in the town completely desperate.

At this time, all the Russian officers and soldiers understood that their ability to successfully break through was itself a trap designed in advance by the Xia Empire.

The commander knew that if he surrendered, the Tsar would not let his family go, and he could only die on the battlefield, and this was his destination; So he ordered the chief of staff to lead the troops to surrender to the Xia Empire, and then did not hesitate to draw his gun and commit suicide.

Not long after the chief of staff turned to leave, he heard the sound of gunfire coming from the tent behind him, and he understood that this was a last resort, so he held back his tears and ordered the soldiers to raise the white flag and surrender to the Xia Empire.
