According to the information sent back by Zhang Zuolin, the Tsarist government fell into a new round of material scarcity, and the workers' revolution led by Lenin was very likely to happen again, and more than eighty percent of the food and materials in the border cities of Tsarist Russia were burned.

The place where the Chinese and Russian armies are now fighting is on the side of the railway at the foot of the mountain, which is more suitable for cavalry to assemble and charge. The Russian army was recently bombarded by Duan Qirui's artillery, with more than 20,000 casualties, and did not dare to confront the squadron head-on, the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Army, Kuropatkin, ordered the Russian army to hold out, and Duan Qirui also ordered the troops to surround Chita City, not in a hurry to attack, because he knew that there was no food in the city.

The sun was still below the horizon, the pre-dawn positions were quiet, and many Chinese soldiers were sleeping. At this time, about 5,000 Cossack cavalry and 30,000 Russian troops quickly rushed out of the valley, each holding sharp swords, the Tsarist Russian tricolor flag and the double-headed eagle flag, fluttering in the morning breeze, which was the only unit in the city of Chita in Tsarist Russia that still had a little combat effectiveness. Especially the Cossack cavalry, for thousands of years, the Cossack cavalry has lived by burning, killing and looting, and has always been relatively strong.

Lieutenant General Malafeev, deputy commander-in-chief of the theater of operations in Chita, rode on a high-headed horse with a red date, raised his sharp saber, and shouted at the Cossack cavalry and Russian troops behind him: "Cossack warriors, Russian warriors, kill all the Chinese." Grab them all! ”

"Ulla...... Ula ...... "This time, the Russian army and Cossack cavalry shouted weakly, these days they robbed the poor of food. But they still can't get enough to eat, and many people are already dizzy with hunger, and their eyes are full of little stars. With the last of their strength, they rushed murderously towards the camp of the Chinese infantry, as if the enemy in front of them was lambs waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for them to slaughter and feast.

The distance between the Chinese and Russian armies is less than 1,000 meters, and there is nothing unusual about it. This distance, for the Russian cavalry riding the Don war horses, was in the blink of an eye.

That's when it happened. The voice of Wu Peifu, commander of the machine gun battalion, sounded: "Heavy machine gun, prepare!" "Light machine gun, ready!" After the outbreak of the Sino-Russian War, Wu Peifu took the initiative to ask to go to the front battlefield. Cao Kun was afraid that the credit for defeating the Russians would be robbed by Feng Guozhang. So he let Wu Peifu return from Japan and took up the post of commander of the machine gun battalion, although there were only 600 people in charge, there were more than 100 Makqin heavy machine guns and 200 "Feilong" light machine guns.

The firepower of the "Flying Dragon" light machine gun is not worse than that of the heavy machine gun, and it is the experts of the Central Armament Bureau led by Dai Xiaohou to imitate the German Makqin heavy machine gun, and the German Maxim heavy machine gun is the same, the "Flying Dragon" light machine gun uses cooling water to cool the barrel, and the water-cooled sleeve can be filled with 4 liters of cooling water. As long as there is enough water and ammunition. The "Wyvern" light machine gun can last shooting for a long time. In order to ensure continuous fire for a long time, the ammunition feeder used in the "Wyvern" light machine gun is a standard 250 metal chain. The theoretical rate of fire can reach 450 rounds per minute, and in order to reduce the impact of muzzle flame on machine gunners, some "Wyvern" light machine guns use flame shields, and some "Wyvern" light machine guns are also equipped with shields.

The caliber of the "Flying Dragon" light machine gun is 6.92mm, the length of the gun is 1175mm, and the weight of the gun is 26.4kg.

With these 300 machine guns, Wu Peifu didn't pay attention to the tens of thousands of Russian troops in front of him at all, 800 meters, 700 meters, 600 meters, 500 meters, and within the range of the machine guns, Wu Peifu returned to the battle flag, "Shoot!" ”

"Woo ......" The three hundred machine guns let out a roar of rage, spewing out terrifying tongues of fire, like a downpour of rain sweeping sideways towards the Russian cavalry that had begun to accelerate at the end.

In an instant, countless bullets whistled through the body of the Russian cavalry, and the Cossack cavalry who hit the head did not even react, and fell from their horses, and many cavalrymen were directly broken in half. Ivanovsky, the commander of the major who was charging forward, was also beaten in two by this large-caliber bullet, and fell to the ground, and was immediately trampled into flesh by the war horse behind. The dense rain of bullets hit the Cossack cavalry within the firing range, and the people turned on their backs, suffering heavy casualties, and the small number of Vickers heavy machine guns and Hachkes heavy machine guns of the Russian army, which did not care about the use of machine guns at that time, could not suppress the fire at all.

Lieutenant General Malafeev, the deputy commander-in-chief of the theater of operations in Chita, saw the piles of corpses of the Russian army and couldn't help but shout: "God, what kind of machine gun is this!" ”

In the open field, light and heavy machine guns demonstrated their bloody striking capabilities when dealing with dense charges, and 15,000 Russian troops were killed on the spot. In less than thirty minutes, only about 500 Cossack cavalry, which had terrified the enemy in the past, remained. The remnants of the horseman, who had been frightened by the terrible power of the machine guns, could no longer care about their comrades who had fallen to the ground, reined in their horses, turned their horses and fled. The stunned Russian infantry trembled with fear, where was there a way for the Cossack cavalry to turn their horses and flee? also retreated!

At this time, Wang Shizhen's 10,000 cavalry rushed out of the sweep, the horses neighed, rolling iron hooves, like a torrent of steel rushed towards the Cossack remnants of the cavalry and the stunned infantry, they all held the modified Chinese rifles in their hands, and the Cossack cavalry planted on the horses were still wielding war knives, but they were intensively shot, beaten into a sieve, unwillingly choked, fell on the Siberian wasteland, and slowly closed their eyes that lost their lustre. In the end, Lieutenant General Malafeev led less than 2,000 Tsarist Russian infantry to run into a mess, and fled into the mountains and wilderness in fright.

Half an hour later, Jiang Baili's airship troops bombed Chita again, wave after wave of bombs fell around the Chita City Fortress, and there were already large pits of dozens of meters on the position, the Chita City Fortress has a history of hundreds of years, and it has been repaired more completely in recent years, otherwise it would have been blown up by the squadron.

Xu Shuzheng and Cai Yi's tank corps were also dispatched, and the heavy artillery fire made the Russians look for God all over the place.

Originally, more than 20,000 people were killed by Wu Peifu's machine gun battalion, and the Russian army's will to fight had collapsed.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Far Eastern Army, Kuropatkin, walked out of the central fortress and went to the front line to cheer up the Russian troops, lying: "I promise you that I will not leave, I will fight with you until reinforcements arrive!" Demetri. General Sergeevich still has 200,000 elite troops in his hands, and as long as he blocks this wave of enemy attacks and stops the Chinese, the reinforcements will cut off their heads. ”

When he walked back to the central fortress area, Jiang Baili's airship had already flown over, and the powerful bombs were constantly dropped, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the bombs on the plane exploded in the central battery of the Russian army, and the Russian artillerymen who were firing the artillery were blown up high into the sky and splashed down with blood.

Hit by the targeted precision strikes of Chinese high-altitude airships and artillery heavy artillery, the casualties of the Russian artillery in Chita were very large, with more than 15,000 casualties. Most of the artillery was blown up, and the slightly weak and old batteries were blown up, and the Russian army in Chita basically lost the ability to fight back.

Feng Guozhang also made a general mobilization for the siege of the city: "The Russian old Maozi has been invading our China for hundreds of years, and has successively occupied more than 1.5 million square kilometers of China's land, we don't have to be merciful to them!" Pick up the weapons in your hands and destroy the Russians! We must tell them loudly that the Far East is our Chinese territory, Lake Belga will always be our China's North Sea, and we must use guns to tell the world that China is the master of this land! ”

Soon, the high ground east of Chita was seized by the squadron, and the entire central fortress and city of Chita were within the range of Duan Qirui's artillery, losing the cover of the outer heights and fortresses, and the fate of the Russian army, which had no way to retreat, was even more tragic.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Far Eastern Army, Kuropatkin, truthfully reported to the Tsar the critical situation in Chita: "The Chita Fortress, the artillery has been destroyed, the outer fortresses have been lost, and there is really nothing to rely on. Since I arrived in Chita, the Russian army here has suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and there is not enough food, so I can't fight anymore! ”

Then, Kuropatkin calmly thought about his future, he took out a revolver from the office drawer, put it on the table, and waited for the last moment to come, the squadron was either shelling, or aerial bombardment, and heavy machine gun battalion, this was the most wrestling war in his life, and the casualties among the soldiers were too tragic!

In less than half an hour, the bombing airships took turns to bombard the city of Chita, and the airships threw incendiary bombs without a strong bunker fortress, and the artillery under the personal command of Duan Qirui concentrated on shelling the central fortress area of Chita City.

The spirit of the Russian army collapsed and began to flee for their lives outside the city, no one knew when the bombardment would stop, Chita turned into a sea of fire, almost a hell, escaping from this place was the only thought of most of the survivors, and thousands of Russian troops surrendered.

"Phew!" A gunshot rang out, a dull gunshot rang out from the underground office of the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Army Kuropatkin, General Trobinsky and General Ivan Sabinko of Tsarist Russia rushed to the door of the office, and they heard the gunshots, and as soon as they entered the office, they found that the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Army Kuropatkin had committed suicide, his right temple was trickling blood, his body was sobbing, his old eyes were cloudy, and he was looking at the ceiling blankly!

"On July 14, the squadron broke through the Chita fortress of Tsarist Russia and occupied the Chita hub station of the Tsarist Siberian Railway, and this Chita Battle, annihilating a total of about 100,000 Tsarist Russian troops, completely cutting off the railway transportation line from Tsarist Russia to the Far East, the remnants of the Tsarist Far East Theater have been isolated, Nebuchu and Ulan-Ude are estimated to soon fall into the hands of the Chinese, and a new era is coming!"

On July 15, 1901, the New York Times reported the above news, which shocked the world again! (To be continued......)
