Chapter 543: Infantry Charge

The night was deep, the war was thick, and the attack launched by the northwest broke through, completely disrupting the positions of the Russian army, especially the rapid assault of armored vehicles, as if it was a sharp scalpel, cutting through the Russian positions that seemed to be stable, and the follow-up infantry continued to expand the pain and continued to bleed, so that the Russian army was hit with the most severe blow.

The base camp of the Russian army, that is, the Samsolov command, thought that the arrangement was in a relationship, just behind the six divisions, crossed the artillery position, and in the position of a hill 7 kilometers from Kyakhta, Samsolov was awakened by a sudden attack, and when he heard the sound of artillery and the fire in front of him, he already knew what was happening, and the Northwest Army actually launched an attack when they were most unprepared.

did not personally command the deployment, Samsolov knew very well that a long war and habits would destroy a tight defense, what kind of virtue is the Russian army, he knows very well that the main forces from Europe are a little better, those troops transferred from the Far East, that military discipline is much worse, it is the farthest place in the empire, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, look at the previous 173 and 179, you can know that it is the Northwest Army that is taken by surprise, but it should not lose so much.

Fortunately, four of the six divisions in front were brought from Europe, and they were still deployed on the front line, and they were heavily protected, so I think it would be better.

Don't think about it, why does the Northwest attack the Russian army, doesn't it mean that the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army is weak, Samsolov at this time, there is no sleep, (hurriedly convene the officers, hold an emergency battlefield meeting, deal with artillery, the best is artillery, but most of the artillery storage points of the Russian army.) They were all within the scope of Baotou's reconnaissance, and several attendants quickly received his orders. Go to the artillery positions and give them an order to quickly counterattack.

But. After a full 10 minutes, only one of the attendants returned, still pale, and on the way there, they happened to encounter a high-explosive bomb, and the other one was directly killed, and the rest also saw the situation on the other side, where the artillery fire was now concentrated. It is covered by the artillery fire of the northwest, even if there is the protection of the bunker, not afraid of being destroyed by the large-caliber artillery of Baotou, no one is not afraid of death, to push the artillery out of the bunker, it is equivalent to sending it to death, Baotou's infantry anti-personnel shells, hundreds of steel balls and a cannon, almost turned this side into Shura hell.

After a few minutes of hesitation. The attendant officer still returned to the command and told Samsolov that the artillery fire was too heavy in the area where the artillery was concentrated. There was no movement at all, and there was no movement from anyone.

Samsolov was furious, but there was nothing he could do. Artillery fire cannot be counterattacked, so it can only be beaten passively. The news from the front is almost cut off. He hurriedly came out, passed the guò telescope, and carefully observed the front of the qiē, but unfortunately the Russian telescope is not inward-looking, only able to see the light of the fire and the explosion of the shells, with these, can barely see the advance of the Northwest Army is very fast, from the beginning of the artillery to the present, less than 25 minutes, but the Northwest Army has broken through the first line of defense, the two divisions in front, I don't know what the result is.

Samsolov couldn't think of it anyway, his carefully arranged position, specially went to inspect it personally, and asked himself that even if he met the elite of the German army, he would hold the position for a few days, as if it was paper paste, and was chiseled through the front by the Northwest Army, and in just 25 minutes, it advanced more than 4 kilometers.

Since the Northwest Army has such a strong combat effectiveness, why, it has never been shown before, it has always been hidden, allowing them to attack, consuming their personnel and morale, and then choosing their weakest part to attack.

If Cai Ye knew Samsolov's thoughts, he would definitely laugh out loud, ancient China, the formation of the philosophy of war, such as one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, and then such as hitting the middle stream, and so on, attack at the most unlikely time, can produce the result of a sneak attack, even if it is a war in the era of thermal weapons.

The two divisions don't know what the situation is, if they continue to advance, maybe the two divisions below will not be able to resist, and they really run into the last two divisions, mainly the two of the Far Eastern Military District, God knows if they will mutini or retreat.

Samsolov was a little sad and indignant, it was difficult that the troops he brought were all paper-paste, and the heavily guarded positions were casually broken through.

Immersed in remorse and incomprehension, Samsolov exposed his biggest weakness, poor adaptability, in history, he did not experience the Mongolian war situation, has been on the front line of Turkey, small-scale wars, battalions, regiments, and even division level, Samsolov is very good, but at the level of the group army, Samsolov is much worse, indecisive, in the face of the problem when he does not know how to solve it, he can only wait, at the time of the first war, the second army he led, was surrounded and annihilated by the German army, Of the 150,000 people, only 10,000 remained, and he himself committed suicide in a grove.

"Your Excellency, Commander, please retreat!" The attendant came to Samsolov's face, and said in a panic, Samsolov didn't speak, it's been 35 minutes, 25 minutes, interspersed with 4 kilometers, and after another 10 minutes, it was actually interspersed with more than 1 kilometer, and it was only 2 kilometers away from the location of their base camp, this distance, maybe before, was not a dangerous distance, but now, after seeing the speed of Baotou's chiseling, maybe, in 20 minutes, or 30 minutes later, it will be able to chisel here? Could it be that even the headquarters will be annihilated?

Samsolov came back to his senses, noticed the position of the fire and artillery fire, and even listened carefully to the non-stop gunfire on the front line, his face was dead, the attack in the northwest made him completely desperate, seeing that the position in front was submerged, at least four divisions, fell into chaos, he had lost almost 4 divisions of troops, if these 4 divisions were hit hard by Baotou again, even he himself did not believe that the tsar would bypass him, at this time, retreat and not retreat, what is the difference, he even has the heart to die.

The attendant officers and the guards officers, of course, could not let Samsolov stay here, no matter what, he was always the commander, and the responsibility for the defeat of the war was, but if they let Samsolov be captured, there would be no good fruit to eat, and it would be a great scandal to be captured by backward China, a cavalry general.

Samsolov was almost dragged hard and left the command, and other officials of the command also began to retreat urgently, in fact, they didn't know, they didn't have to retreat, the armored vehicle offensive in Baotou was not aimed at them, but those artillery positions, the Russian army with enough artillery fire is strong, once these artillery fire is gone, the Russian army is equivalent to the claw being broken, and then, there is no room for churning at all.

After completing the penetration of several divisions on the front line, 40 armored vehicles, without continuing to intersperse, were divided into 8 parts, and rushed to the heavy artillery bunkers, even if the Russian army had dispersed and divided all the heavy artillery into seven or eight parts, they were still relatively concentrated together, which gave the northwest a chance to completely capture or destroy.

The armored car began to turn, and the 8000 infantry who followed the armored car were still rushing forward, they were responsible for doing something that the armored car could not do, under the cover of the armored car, the armored car was escorted, and in 35 minutes, the armored car and the infantry were combined to complete the task perfectly, 4 Russian divisions that were already in disarray, plus those who were caught off guard by artillery fire, a big victory has been determined.

In the command center of Baotou, Cai Ye and high-level officers are paying attention to the progress of the battlefield, even if there are armored vehicles against the sky, the battlefield is complex and changeable, God knows what problems will occur, maybe the armored vehicles are out of order, maybe the hidden artillery fire of the Russian army has counterattacked, maybe the armored vehicles that have been hit head-on, so that the gap cannot be opened, the assault is deep enough, and greater results cannot be achieved.

Now there is no problem, the armored car successfully rushed to a place about 6 kilometers away from the front line, and even moved forward slightly, which is equivalent to completely rushing out from the combination of 6 divisions, two divisions, but guarding an area of about 5 kilometers, almost two-thirds of them were beaten to pieces, plus the follow-up infantry and armored vehicles went back and forth, the whole 6 collapsed, and the front line was in chaos.

"Here's your chance!" Cai Yi picked up the phone, gently commanded a few times, three signal flares hit the air, under the dark night sky, it seemed so bright, the red signal flare seemed to be a signal of death, the three divisions of the First Army that had already been prepared, also began to charge, this is the time to make a contribution, the Russian position on the front line has been completely stirred up, armored vehicles are the first wave of strikes, next, 8000 infantry, plus armored vehicles to the depth of the impact, pouring everywhere, the Russian army is completely chaotic, At this time, if you don't have an impact, it is difficult to let go of a good opportunity.

Unlike the 8,000 infantry who followed the armored vehicles in front of them, this was the group charge of the Grand Army, and only 40,000 of the 65,000 people of the First Army were responsible for the charge, but the momentum was overwhelming, even if it was a distance of about three or four kilometers from the city of buying and selling to Kyakhta, they were also fast, and it didn't take half an hour to rush up.

The First Army is the strongest army in the northwest, even after several rounds of expansion and transfer, many outstanding soldiers have been supplemented to other units as the backbone, but as starting from the very beginning of the 54 Mixed Formation Association, and even further can be traced back to the period of the field guard team and the Feng Ying period, their history and skeleton are the most solid, and the transfer again and again, not only did not let them lose their original skeleton, but as an example, leading other divisions.

Charge quickly, swim across the armed river, plus the straggler camp and protective impact before the position, but unfortunately this qiē is a little useless, the first-line position, completely free of the enemy, not to mention the first line, even the second line, the third line, until the back, after 3 kilometers deep into the Russian position, there was sporadic resistance, but in the face of the well-trained, armed with AK11 rifles of the Northwest Army, it was just a wave and dissipated, and the Russian positions of 6 divisions, after an hour, completely became history, and the armored vehicles and the follow-up infantry began to target the Russian army, and continued to expand the results in depth.
