397: Changes in the Russian army 2/12

The management system of the Russian army has always been extremely chaotic, and this has been a problem for generations to come, especially now. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The top brass of the Russian army only knows how to compete for power in the army and blindly curry favor with their superiors, and truly capable officers cannot be promoted, which also causes the Russian army to never be able to fully exert its combat effectiveness no matter when.

Tsar Nicholas II, stimulated by the words of a group of ministers, even swelled to the point that he thought that 300,000 Russian troops were enough to wipe out half of China, and his officers were also blindly flattering the Tsar, which also made the originally rational Tsar Nicholas II gradually lose his last sanity.

In fact, before that, the most sensible person in all of Russia was the Tsar, and the Russian officers under him had more than once proposed an expedition to the Far East to include the three eastern provinces of China in Russian territory.

But the Tsar was well aware of Russia's inferiority, and before the Trans-Siberian Railway was completed, the Tsar would never allow Russia to invade the Northeast. Because of the war between the Chinese Empire and Japan, it had already given the tsar a wake-up call, so that he did not dare to be careless.

However, after the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway, the tsar gradually had the idea of occupying the northeast. However, at the instigation of the following group of officers, the tsar eventually lost his mind.

In recent years, Russia has mobilized 200,000 Russian troops from the central and western regions, and deployed them in the vicinity of Manchuria, Belogorsk and Khabarovsk.

Even the 300,000 Far Eastern Army has been ordered to make them ready for all battles.

But the Russian soldiers at the grassroots level thought that there would be no war now, at least until after the beginning of spring. Therefore, although the Russian soldiers on the front line are also actively preparing, their preparations are not so complete.

It seems that now, the 103rd Armored Division has been killed in front of the small town of Abatu Gaiyi, and the Russian soldiers still don't know anything, they don't even have a reconnaissance post, maybe they feel that the weather outside is too cold, and it is not suitable to send people to stand guard at night.

But the consequences of this were clear: a full battalion of more than 600 men, under the attack of a tank platoon and an infantry battalion, held out for less than 20 minutes, and then fled with more than 200 corpses and more than 100 wounded.

The Russian army didn't even have the courage to fight back, the torrent of steel completely shattered their guts, and the bullets couldn't penetrate them at all, and the soldiers just ran out of the house, they would encounter countless bullet attacks, such a dense firepower, it was the first time the Russian army saw it.

The Russian army is not superior in terms of firepower and equipment, no matter from which point of view, the Chinese Empire has an absolute suppressive advantage over the Russian army.

The only advantage of the Russian army lies in size and physical strength, and perhaps, their only hope of victory is hand-to-hand combat.

Although the Royal Army has paid great attention to and worked hard to improve the personal physical fitness of soldiers, after all, there is a gap in race genes, and the yellow race is not as good as the white race in terms of physical strength, which is a natural disadvantage, and it cannot be made up for by food at all.

But the Royal Army did not give the Russian army this opportunity, and even if the Russian army wants to fight in close combat, it is a bit of a fool's dream.

At first, the Russian army had such an idea, and more than two dozen Russian soldiers, led by a platoon commander, launched a charge against a squad of infantry. And the distance between the two sides is only less than 50 meters, and the Russian soldiers can rush over as long as they rush up, and they will not be able to rush over in ten seconds.

But the result was so disappointing, in the face of the Russian charge, the Royal Army officers of that squad did not retreat despite being inferior in numbers.

Instead, he steadily raised the rifle in his hand and aimed it at the Russian soldiers who rushed over, and the Type 03 automatic rifle in the hands of the squad leader made up for the disadvantage of insufficient firepower at close range, often aimed at an enemy, that is, three bursts of point fire.

For this kind of battle, they fought it quite easily.

The Russian army is not only backward in terms of equipment, but also very backward in terms of tactics.

Of course, not only the Russian army, but now the tactics of the infantry all over the world are very backward, although the Royal Army in the Korean battlefield is too prominent, but also let the Japanese learn some advanced tactics, but that has nothing to do with the Russians, the Russians still adopt their own tactics.

Charge is to bury your head in a straight charge, never talk about formation tactics or anything like that, let alone cover the charge, maybe in their consciousness, rush over, and then kill the enemy with the bayonet in their hands, this is the most perfect and brave way of fighting.

The Type 03 automatic rifle has a super-large capacity magazine of twenty-five bullets, in this kind of melee combat, it can be said that it is like a fish in water, the squad leader only used a magazine of bullets, and killed five enemies, and a squad of soldiers, basically killed one each, and the machine gun not far away, also noticed the situation here, directly aimed at the Russian army in the distance is a burst of fire suppression, instantly killed several Russian troops.

In the face of the Royal Army's three-person tactics, the Russian soldiers were so helpless, and finally ended the confrontation with more than a dozen Russian soldiers in the absence of killing or wounding one.

Originally, other Russian troops in the vicinity also wanted to follow suit, but after seeing the battle situation here, they immediately dispelled this idea.

The military strength of the Chinese Empire has far exceeded their understanding, the invulnerable steel monster can fire shells to attack them at any time, and there is even a mobile heavy machine gun on it, just that steel giant beast makes the Russian army miserable.

On the infantry side, the others are okay, but there is a machine gun in each squad, and it is the kind of machine gun that can be used by one person, and in terms of close combat, there is almost no solution, and they simply cannot break through the enemy's defense.

Obviously, the Russian army mistook the Type 03 automatic rifle for a machine gun.

The remaining 200 or so Russian troops began to rout, surrounded by enemies on three sides, leaving them powerless and unable to retreat to the rear, at least, there was their main force there, as long as they could get there, they were already safe.

More importantly, they need to tell their superiors about the situation here, otherwise, the Russian army will suffer heavy losses, or even be completely annihilated.

But the Russian army was disappointed in the end, because on the way they escaped, there was still a force waiting for them, machine guns, tank guns, mortars, rifles, a defensive line formed by multiple firepower, turning the retreat route of the Russian army into a huge net of death, but anyone who entered it had absolutely no possibility of survival.

Later, the Russian army began to drop their weapons and wanted to surrender, but the Royal Army did not accept the surrender of the Russian army, and they did not have enough energy to manage these prisoners. As for the slaughter of the captives, the people are already dead, and who will say that you slaughter the captives?

The people below were happy, but Li Yunchang, the commander of the 103rd Division, was worried.

The situation on the battlefield was clearly beyond what they had known before, and according to the intelligence, it was not told that there were still a large number of Russian troops behind Abatu Gaii.

If Li Yunchang had not sent a reconnaissance unit to the rear to reconnoitre, once Li Yunchang started the war according to the established plan, although it would not be said that it would lead to the defeat of the war, it was at least certain that the casualties of the 103rd Division would definitely not be small.

Li Yunchang also wanted to catch a few prisoners and ask about the situation of the Russian army, if he could know the specific situation of the Russian army, then the subsequent deployment would be more reasonable and targeted.

Although the average soldier may not know too much, he only needs to know how many Russian troops there are, even if it is just a rumor, it is much better than not knowing anything now.

Abatu Gai, the original inhabitants of the town have been gathered, except for the dead, there are about less than a hundred people who have survived, and they are trembling and squatting in the middle of the town square, their eyes full of fear.

In the entire town, there are almost 600 corpses of the Russian army and the residents of the town, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as hell if so many corpses are placed in a small town.

In front of the house where the previous machine-gun position was located, Tank 313 was quietly parked, and several soldiers were picking at the ruins.

Zhu Kuan, who was standing on the side, frowned from time to time, and Guan Yonggang, who was beside Zhu Kuan, did not look good.

"This is a complete heavy machine gun fortification, and the defense is extremely strong, even our tank guns, it is difficult to destroy it with one shot." Looking at the ruins of the machine gun bunker, Zhu Kuan said with a frown.

"If the infantry encounters this kind of bunker, the consequences are unimaginable, but I don't know if this bunker is a common machine gun bunker within the Russian army, or if these Russian troops have come up with their own methods?" Kwan Yonggang also deeply agreed.

The whole machine gun bunker is divided into two parts, the outer bunker is made of sacks filled with soil, before sealing, constantly pouring water into it, and then before it freezes, it is placed outside, and then stacked together, a full two layers, more than a meter thick.

After the outer bunker is built, it is then watered so that the scattered dirt and sandbags can freeze together, improving the overall performance of the bunker.

In this way, the bullet not only has to pass through the dirt, but also through a thick layer of ice, and the mud and ice will definitely produce a much better effect than the mud alone.

Even, the effect of these two layers of external bunkers is better than that of three layers of ordinary bunkers.

On the inside, there are also two layers of mud sandbags, so that the four layers inside and outside are equivalent to five layers of bunkers. Not to mention the defensive machine gun bullets, even the 37 tank gun, it is difficult for a single shot to penetrate this bunker.
