Chapter 944: Omsk (II)

Soon, the soldiers of the attacking side approached the front of the position. In the sound of "Ula", the soldiers of the Russian Red Army launched a charge, and at the same time, the position was also heavily bombarded by the artillery of the Russian Red Army, and the entire position was full of explosions, mud and mud were blown into the air, and gunsmoke filled all the trenches and bunkers.

"Dada...... Dadada......"

The machine guns on the position finally roared, and the bullets denser than the rain 'fired' at the charging soldiers and officers, and the rain burst out of the bloody 'flowers', and some fell silently, while others let out a miserable cry from their throats before they fell.

Liu Fuji stood in the observation post, holding a telescope and looking to the west, as he expected, in the first attack, the Russian Red Army used armored vehicles to cover the infantry charge, and now, when his soldiers killed the infantry with machine guns, the enemy's two armored vehicles had rushed very close to the anti-tank trench.

The anti-tank trench was deep and wide, and the two tracked armored vehicles could not directly cross it, so they could only stop at the edge of the anti-tank trench and turn their heads. Move back and forth along the anti-tank trenches and 'fire' at the positions of the Far Eastern Corps with the machine guns on the vehicles, suppress the fire on the positions and cover the infantry over the anti-tank trenches.

The Far Eastern Corps also had tanks and armored vehicles, but they were not in the forward positions, because Zhang Zongchang and his staff officers insisted that in defensive operations, armored units should be used as reserves and could not be placed on the front line to withstand enemy artillery fire, so there were only anti-tank guns on the forward positions, and there were no tanks or armored vehicles.

"What about anti-tank guns? And what about anti-tank guns? ”

Liu Fuji asked the staff officer beside him, and the staff officer hurriedly ran out, turned around, and then ran back to the observation post.

"It's already on the ground! Preparing to 'shoot' the shot! ”

As soon as the staff officer's words fell, Liu Fuji heard a muffled sound not far from the right, and a 47-mm anti-tank gun finally opened fire, and the shell landed near an armored car, splashing mud several feet high, although it was only a few steps away from the armored car, but it did not hit the target.

"You can't hit so close, you idiots!"

Liu Fuji roared angrily, rushed out of the observation post, and rushed to the gun position, and at this moment, the 'door' anti-tank gun fired a second shell, which accurately hit the middle of the hull of the armored car and "holed" the armor plate. However, since it was an armor-piercing shell, there was no explosive 'charge', so it only pierced a hole in the armored car, and the machine gun on the armored car, after a slight pause, began to 'fire' again, and immediately concentrated its fire on the emplacement of this 'door' anti-tank gun.

"Ding...... Dangdang ......"

The bullets from the machine guns hit the shields of the anti-tank guns, making a crisp crashing sound, which frightened the gunners, who were observing the results of the battle, to the ground, and they could not care about continuing to 'shoot'.

"Get out of the way! Move! ”

Liu Fuji rushed to the gun position, pulled up a gunner, and told him to load the anti-tank gun, and then personally 'operated' the 'door' anti-tank gun for aiming, followed by two successive 'shooting' shots, both shells hit the armored car, and caused a puff of black smoke from the engine compartment of the armored car, and then the armored car stopped, the shell obviously damaged the engine, but the machine gun on the armored car was still firing 'firing'.

Liu Fuji fired two more shells, which finally stopped the machine gun on the armored car, and the engine also caught fire. Then, two Russian armored soldiers were seen fleeing from the armored car and quickly hid on the other side of the hull to avoid the machine-gun fire on the position.

"Thankfully, it's not a tank!"

Liu Fuji sighed, sat down next to the anti-tank gun, held the telescope and continued to look at the anti-tank trench opposite, looking for the trace of another armored car, at this time, the two sides of the 'warring' were still firing fiercely, and there were gunfire and artillery everywhere, although the Soviet Russian Red Army was still attacking, but there was no doubt that their offensive had weakened, and this attack seemed to be suppressed by the defenders.

"Sir! Another armored car is over there! ”

One of the gunners shouted, raised his hand, and pointed in a south-west direction.

Liu Fuji followed the point, and finally found the armored car that was trying to drive down the anti-tank trench, and the armored car was opened for a group of infantry of the Soviet Russian Red Army, who obviously planned to use explosives to blow a gap in the anti-tank trench, so that the armored car could cross the anti-tank trench and directly rush to this defensive position of the Far Eastern Army.

Since there is only one 'gate' on the position that can be used, that is, the 'gate' that Liu Fuji is now commanding, it is impossible to effectively 'shoot' at the armored vehicle that is far away.

Liu Fuji could only order the transfer of the gun position and drag this 'door' anti-tank gun to the position in the south, but it was indeed not an easy thing to transfer the gun position in this situation of continuous artillery fire, the artillery of the Soviet Russian Red Army continued to 'fire' fierce artillery fire on the position, and shreneseed flew everywhere on the position, and the width of the 'crossing' trench was not enough to make the anti-tank gun advance quickly, so. Before the anti-tank guns were dragged to the southern position, the Russian Red Army infantry gathered in the anti-tank trench had already used explosives to open a gap in the anti-tank trench, and the armored vehicle also smoothly rubbed up from the bottom of the anti-tank trench, which immediately caused a burst of soul 'chaos', and many soldiers of the Far East Army began to run to the north, and met Liu Fuji who rushed from the northern position.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

Liu Fuji raised the German-made 'Mao' pistol in his hand, fired two shots into the sky, and brandished the pistol to command the staff officer to stop the soldiers and prevent the rout on the southern position.

"Give me all back! Get back! With anti-tank grenades! Anti-tank grenades! ”

Liu repeated his order in Chinese and Russian, then drove the headless Far Eastern Army soldiers back to their positions to the south, and directed the soldiers to dig out the Chinese-made anti-tank grenades from the cartridge boxes.

This kind of anti-tank grenade has shown its might in the European war, the German army has destroyed thousands of Allied tanks with this individual anti-tank weapon, and the small grenade has played a certain key 'sexual' role in the development of the European war situation, otherwise, in terms of German resources, this European war would not have lasted so long.

Now, it is the turn of this individual anti-tank weapon to show its skills on the front lines of the Russian Civil War.

Liu Fuji had previously trained soldiers to use this new type of grenade, so soldiers were no strangers to it, but because of the close use, bombardiers often had to risk great danger to get close to tanks and armored vehicles.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Before Liu Fuji could pick out the bombardier, he heard the explosion of a grenade, but it was not thrown by his soldiers, but from Soviet and Russian soldiers. Now, the group of Russian soldiers who had crossed the anti-tank trench had broken through the barbed wire fence and were rushing towards the position under the cover of the armored vehicle, suppressing the fire on the position with rifles and grenades, while the armored vehicle was also frantically 'shooting' at all moving targets in the path ahead with machine guns.

The Far Eastern Army soldiers, who had managed to stabilize their mood, panicked again, and Liu Fuji tried to maintain discipline, and sent several soldiers, armed with anti-tank grenades, to ambush in the trenches, pretending to be corpses.

"Withdraw! Remove! ”

Liu Fuji brandished his pistol and directed his soldiers to temporarily retreat to the north. Originally, he planned to lay some mines in front of the position, but I don't know whether it was because of the slackness of the logistics officers or the 'chaos' in logistics and transportation, until today, the mines promised to be transferred to him by his superiors have not been traced, so the battle has been very difficult.

Fortunately, Liu Fuji ordered the soldiers to dig trenches and 'cross' trenches in all directions on the position, which could facilitate retreat and attack, and just as they retreated to another trench, they heard the explosion of anti-tank grenades.

The arrogant armored car finally lay down, and the machine guns also stopped 'firing', so the offensive and defensive situation on the position was reversed in an instant, Liu Fuji issued an order to counterattack, and directed the soldiers to try to recapture the southern position that had been occupied by the Soviet Russian infantry under the cover of flamethrowers.

What followed was a close fight, flamethrowers, grenades, submachine guns, bayonets and even butts, all the weapons that could be used, after a fierce battle, Liu Fuji finally commanded the troops to recapture all the lost positions, and at this time, it was half past six in the afternoon, the rain stopped, but the sky was also dark.

……

The battle lasted for two hours that afternoon, although there were heavy casualties, but at least Liu Fuji's troops held their positions, but this did not mean that the Omsk defense line was impregnable, under the continuous attack of the Soviet Red Army, at half past seven o'clock in the evening of the same day, the defense line of Denikin's corps first collapsed, and then the defense line of the Czech Legion was also torn open a gap under the impact of the Russian Red Army tanks, and the city of Omsk was also shelled by train guns, and at eight o'clock in the evening, Liu Fuji, who was still fighting in the forward position, received an order to retreat, and judging from the tone of the order, this was a general retreat.

To be precise, it was a complete retreat, so that Liu Fuji could not even join the headquarters of the Far Eastern Army Corps, and when he arrived at the city of Omsk. But he was surprised to find that the Soviet red flag had appeared near the city, and the cavalry of the Soviet Russian Red Army blocked the way for the troops to retreat eastward, and it was only then that Liu Fuji understood that he had actually been surrounded by the Soviet Russian Red Army.

In desperation, Liu Fuji could only order the troops to use the dark night to disperse and break through, and late that night, the Soviet Red Army annihilated the armored units left behind by the Tsarist Russian army in Omsk, and then, the Omsk railway station fluttered the Soviet red flag, and the tsarist government of the Russian Empire suffered another military defeat.

Two days after the end of the Battle of Omsk, Liu Fuji, who was seriously wounded, was carried back to Tomsk in the east by the soldiers.

Hearing this, Zhang Zongchang shook his head and said that it was difficult to understand, but one thing is obvious, after the loss of Omsk, the passage for the Soviet Russian Red Army to advance eastward was opened, and the morale of the Tsarist army plummeted.
