Chapter 241: Border Storm (3)
There was a mess outside, and Haining County, which had become a ruin, was not idle, and Karasov was stunned in the cellar, and when he woke up, it was more than half an hour later, shaking his head and looking around, there were more than 30 people left hiding in the cellar with him, more than half of the cellar collapsed, and maybe there were still soldiers alive among them.
"What are we going to do now?"
It no longer matters whether rescue comes or not, because the air force without the cooperation of the army can only harass the other side and cause some casualties on the other side, and the victory or defeat of the war is still in the hands of the army.
I wanted to sit up, but who wanted to touch the fracture, and the cold sweat instantly rushed out of the body, but fortunately, I was a soldier, and with a little patience, I forced the pain down, and then sat up with the support of a guard. The cellar itself is not high, and after the bombing, it is even more difficult to stand up.
This is the cellar of a landlord's house, if it is not too crowded, it can accommodate three or four hundred people, but now most of the cellars have collapsed, and he escaped with his life by pinching Karasov's side in the corner, but the remaining thirty or forty people have no effect, not to mention that most of them are injured.
"Find a way to get out, or sooner or later you will starve to death and die of thirst here."
The Chinese lieutenant struggled to his feet and began to look for tools for digging, although it was still dangerous outside, but there was at least a chance to escape from here. Let alone...... The Russian Empire was allowed to surrender, and Ernst said the most that a living soldier is a useful soldier. Of course, if it is some mission that is certain to die, then you must not surrender, otherwise your family will also be implicated, but such things are generally not directed but freely stood up.
For example, the compensation given for such a task is quite high. Or coming back and moving up three levels in a row is a hard standard. In addition, there is a state subsidy of 100 times the annual salary. According to the ultra-high welfare of the current soldiers, it is by no means a problem for his family to live a prosperous life for the rest of their lives. And that's just the state subsidy, and the local and military subsidies add up to thirty or forty years of salary.
The words of the Chinese adjutant made all the soldiers who could move start looking for tools, even if they pinched Karasov, they were not idle, after all, he did not want to succumb to death in such a small place. When desperately digging in the ruins, a civil war had broken out outside, and Choi Myung-so originally thought that Hu Xuanting's troops would be able to take it easily, but this was not the case.
6,000 North Korean soldiers under the leadership of Choi Myung-so came to Hu Xuanting's department as soon as possible, because more than half of the soldiers attacked Haining County and were killed by artillery fire. Hu Xuanting's camp was empty, the patrolling soldiers had disappeared, and there was a mess everywhere.
There was a commotion in the barracks, and Choi Myung-so did not hesitate to lead his more than 6,000 North Korean soldiers over, believing that with his identity and the Japanese behind him, he might be able to bring the other side to its knees without using force. Think about the fact that your forces are about to be replenished, although it may not be as easy to use as it used to be, but it is also a satisfying thing, isn't it?
At this time, the air force support of the Russian Empire had arrived, but when they saw the messy Haining County, they could only bomb and leave, after all, there was no point in staying. However, the matter here was soon reported to the Cabinet of Ministers and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Empire, and war was on the verge of breaking out.
Japan did not want to go to war with the Russian Empire. However, he knew very well that once he started a war with China, the Russian Empire would definitely not watch, so they were forced to choose to deal with the Russian Empire first, after all, at this time, Huaxia's main energy was in the country, not in the northeast region.
Naturally, Ernst in Lithuania was the first to get the news of Japan's move against the Russian Army, although it was the Russian Army that was the first to leave the country to provoke it. But at this time, everything is no longer important, and there are two choices in front of Ernst: to fight or not to fight.
Ernst was also a little hesitant at this time, although the upcoming military operations of the Russian Empire and the Kingdom of Lithuania were not related, but would this attract the attention of Britain and France? This is not a good thing, if Britain and France deliberately pay attention to themselves in the future, then it will have a certain impact on the development of the Czech principality, the Russian Empire, and the Kingdom of Lithuania. However, after much hesitation, Ernst agreed to the Russian Empire's request for war, and the status of the Czech Duchy was won by war, and retreat was not something he should do.
Pinch Karasov didn't know the changes he had brought, the cellar had been dug through, and the soldiers around him had gathered together, the number added up to more than a hundred, but there were originally more than 200 people in the cellar, and now they were almost dead, and most of the rest were wounded, and there were only twenty or thirty people with combat effectiveness.
The entrance of the cellar was in front of them, and several soldiers looked at the pinch Karasov, what they meant was naturally very clear that it was very clear that there was a very good chance that there would be an enemy outside, should you open it now? Gritting his teeth hard, Karasov nodded, and then ......
Bang Bang Bang!
Gunshot? Where did the gunshots come from? After coming out, Karasov and the Russian Army were stunned, this was obviously not their weapon, because most of them had automatic rifles or submachine guns in their hands, and the gunfire of this jam was obviously the kind of rifle that pulled the bolt.
What's the situation? Could it be that other forces are involved? The soldiers looked a little surprised when they looked at each other, and the same was true of the pinching Karasov. Soon though, his attention shifted elsewhere, digging out their soldiers and assembling the ranks as quickly as possible. At this time, no matter what happens outside, there is only one thing that is most important, and that is to ensure that you have the strength to compete with them.
Choi Myung-so had an urge to vomit blood at this time, he didn't expect the other party to dig a big pit for himself to get in, but this is normal, after all, who would have thought that after Hu Xuanting left, there would still be an effective management class here?
The artillery fire in Haining County immediately made these soldiers aware that something was wrong, and one of the deputy division commanders left behind gathered the soldiers without the slightest hesitation. If it was possible for the Japanese to reorganize these Chinese soldiers before, but the performance just now and some demagogy directly made them die.
How is it to die, so why not die more glorious? This is what most soldiers think, more than two years of traitor career make them unable to raise their heads, although the small life is good, but there are always some things that are more important than wealth, the inner uneasiness makes them very brutal and even distorted, these years have not been less harmful to the local people.
They are about to face death, but they also see a lot, so under the slightest bewitchment, they will definitely fight with Japan, if they can escape and ascend to heaven, it is naturally the best, but they can't be in the future, the local people may be able to remember some of their benefits.
When Choi Myung-so arrived, the deputy division commander was cleaning up the camp of those who had not repented, and it was a bit lively because of the large number of them. Choi Myung-so hurried over without preparation and directly met with them, and the deputy division commander was also a smart person, but he could see at a glance the purpose of Choi Myung-so's coming, this was to seize power and seize power from his hands!
What could be more important to those in power than rights? The eyes of the deputy division commander were almost red, and he did not hesitate to give the order to attack, and Choi Myung-so died tragically in the middle of the gun, and the North Korean army that had lost its commander was naturally in chaos, with one side having command and one side not commanding, and the result was self-evident.
Choi Myung-so is not going well here, and the same is naturally true of the Japanese division. Hu Xuanting is also from the army academy, and in terms of command ability, he is even above Major General Nakajima, plus there are a lot of soldiers, and it is not so easy for Major General Nakajima to take the camp for a while.
The battle outside is still ongoing, but more than a thousand Russian troops have gathered around Karasov, and there may be some in the ruins of the county town, but that is not something that can be rescued temporarily. Although it is a bit cruel to face such a thing, they can only be treated as dead people.
6,000 elite Russian Army, there were only a few hundred casualties during the siege, but after a few rounds of artillery, there were more than 1,200 left, and he really had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears. The situation outside Pinch Karasov has probably already figured it out, the same thing has been done more than once by the Japanese in the Northeast, and Pinch Karasov is not the slightest surprise.
"What should we do now?"
This is the problem of most of the soldiers, but how do they know that this is also a problem of pinching Karasov, and now they want to go, but they can go? There are enemies on three sides of the four sides, and the only side is not the direction of returning to Russia, the main reason is that there are too many of them, as long as they go out of the city, the other party can naturally see it, and at that time it is estimated that the main attention of the Japanese is on their own body.
"Pinch Major General Karasov, we have captured two enemies, they want to meet you."
Like a light in the darkness, when a soldier reported the news, he didn't know why he felt like this. He himself was also strange, but at the same time, he asked the soldiers to bring the two people who wanted to see him, after all, no matter what the outcome was, it was better to see each other than not to see him.
"Let me introduce myself first, I am Yu Zhanshan, deputy commander of the 15th Infantry Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army, this is my adjutant Ma Wentao, we are here for only one thing, I hope that His Excellency the General can accept our surrender."
Surrender?
Yu Zhanshan's words made Karasov and his officers a little dumbfounded, now they are almost dead, but the other party actually surrendered? Of course, it didn't take long for Karasov to guess the reason, and if nothing else, it should have a considerable deal to do with the civil strife in Japan.
Although he had already guessed the reason, he still couldn't help asking: "Why?" ”
"Because this is our only way to live, and at the same time, Your Excellency General, your only way to live."
Yu Zhanshan's words made the surroundings quiet down instantly, indeed, although I don't know how many people there are on the other side, I believe that there must be more than myself, otherwise Yu Zhanshan would not have this attitude and confidence. The way out is in sight, what reason does Pinch Karasov have to refuse the surrender of the other side? However, at this time he had a new idea, maybe Yu Zhanshan and their arrival in the Russian Empire was not the best choice.
"General Yu, I refuse your surrender."
Not only did Karasov's words surprise his officers, but even Yu Zhanshan had an incredible look on his face, could he be killed at any cost? But their enemy is not themselves! Everything was dictated by the Japanese. (To be continued.) )
