Chapter 418: Chaotic Battle

"Denikin, are your troops all blown up by the Chinese?" Division commander Boronev pinched the phone and scolded angrily. He didn't want to answer the phone call, but in the face of Denikin, who repeatedly asked to speak directly with the division commander, the operator could only relay Denikin's request to Boronev repeatedly, and in desperation, Boronev could only answer the phone.

Denikin took a deep breath and told the division commander Boronev in an anxious but clear tone that he heard from the Chinese shelling that for the first time in three days, the Chinese on the opposite side used more than 100 mm cannons, most likely several 200 mm cannons. The Chinese troops who arrived in the early stage were all lightly armed and rapidly advanced, and it was impossible to carry heavy artillery more than 100 mm. Since the Chinese army suddenly used 200 mm heavy artillery today, it means that the reinforcements of the Chinese army have arrived.

"The Chinese will definitely launch a general attack after the shelling, and the strength of our regiment is not enough to withstand the Chinese attack-" Denikin almost pleaded over the phone.

"In fact, the whole front is like this, the casualties of the army, don't tell me that you don't know!" Boonev was almost mad by the regimental commander under his command, and every day he was the first to ask for reinforcements, and now he has been reduced to the point of asking for reinforcements before the shelling begins. Boonev gasped, he didn't expect that this was the elite regiment he had hoped to count on before the war.

"Once the Chinese launch a general attack, you know very well what this means?" Denikin suddenly said calmly.

Denikin's calm tone was so harsh in the fierce cannon fire that it made Boonev angry: "This means that I will shoot you with my own hands." ”

Listening to the division commander roaring and hanging up the phone. Denikin was anxious. Since the division commander couldn't make sense here, Denikin changed hands and called the military headquarters, but this time he didn't find the army commander directly. Although the tone of the staff officer of the military department was not as impulsive as that of the division commander, the contempt for Denikin's judgment in his words made him even more helpless.

The explosion of the 102-mm artillery shell, neither the sound nor the effect of the explosion can be compared with the 203-mm heavy artillery, and it is not that the Russian commander reacted, but there must still be a few who can accurately judge the purpose of the Chinese army's action as accurately as Denikin. In fact, Liang Huadian threw all 50,000 troops on the Karachinsk front into the attack.

"Leave no reserves, no prisoners. All the troops kept charging, towards Omsk, until they could no longer rush—" Liang Huadian ordered in a voice that bordered on roaring before the shelling began. This puzzled officers at all levels. This did not conform to the pre-war plan, but no one dared to disobey the military order, and could only show a questioning expression.

"Don't look at Lao Tzu, the telegram just sent by the General Staff Headquarters. I want Lao Tzu to take Omsk within fifteen days. How to take it if you don't fight like this. Liang Huadian slapped the telegram and scolded: "Are the staff officers of the General Staff Headquarters insane? That's half a million Russian troops. Even 500,000 pigs, Lao Tzu can't catch them in fifteen days—"

Denikin reluctantly put down the phone, and neither the division headquarters nor the military headquarters were vigilant enough. However, at this moment, just ten minutes after the shelling, the Chinese artillery began to extend the fire, and Denikin was taken aback, did the Chinese just get reinforcements and so eagerly attacked? Denikin ordered all officers and men of the command to bayonet, hold helmets in one hand and guns in the other, and move forward from the trenches under the extended artillery fire of the Chinese. No reserves remained. Concentrate all your forces and counterattack the Chinese army with the most ferocious posture. Denikin did not expect that half of his regiment would be able to push back the Chinese attack. He just hoped that in this way, he could temporarily block the Chinese and try to give the army as much time as possible to react, and this was the only thing he could do.

But when Denikin dragged his wounded leg and braved Chinese dense artillery fire before he reached the forefront of the position, he was already desperate, because he heard the sound of Chinese mortar shells exploding, and Chinese moved the mortars to the front line......

As soon as the extended firing of the artillery began, the mortars quickly moved the mortars to a kilometer away from the first trench of the Russian army, and quickly established a mortar position.

"Shoot quickly and suppress the enemy infantry." The mortar company commanders gave orders quickly but calmly, and it had become an instinct for them after countless trainings. "Knock knock knock-" mortar shells smashed intensively into the Russian trenches, blasting the newly emerging Russian infantry back into the bunker again.

The earth seemed to tremble, and the large-caliber artillery had just extended into the distance, and small-caliber mortar shells followed. Denikin and his party, who were still on the march, were cowered by the artillery in a bend of a trench, and Denikin was hugging his helmet to minimize the exposed area of the projectile. At this moment, there was a corpse pressed on his body, this was his guard, just now a mortar shell happened to fall in the trench, if it wasn't for his guard lying on his body in time, it would have been him who would have died. Denikin and his party trembled under the Chinese fire, but the good news was that the Chinese mortar shells quickly left Denikin's area. Denikin couldn't help but wail in his heart: MD, do the Chinese need to extend this tactic with artillery even small cannons like mortars?

The artillery fire had just passed, and the smoke and dust were still flying, and Denikin immediately called for the troops to advance. What made Denikin's eyes tearful was that half of the last sixty or so he brought with him could no longer stand up. This was the last force he had gathered from his headquarters, bypassing a few trenches and gathering all the remnants of his army. Denikin didn't have time to grieve, he needed to rush forward with his troops as soon as possible, and he had to stop the Chinese fiercely when the Chinese had just entered the trenches, so that they knew how powerful the great Slavs were. But he had just turned the trench before he had to shrink back again, because the Chinese infantry arrived, and their grenades rained down on the trench.

"Bombing-"

When charging to a distance of about 40 meters from the first trench of the Russian army, the infantry of the first echelon threw the grenades that were equipped with them. After the explosion, the Chinese infantry jumped into the trenches with a roaring sound of murder.

"Bang bang bang" The rifle of the Russian army rang out, and the soldier who had just jumped up was hit. A stream of blood spurted from the soldier's chest. However, he jumped into the trench, still holding his gun and stubbornly ran a few steps before slowly falling to the ground, which was death. He still maintained a charging posture.

The Russians' artillery had been depleted in the fire two days earlier, and the few mortars that could survive could only firing back symbolically because of the lack of ammunition, and the sporadic gunfire of the infantry suppressed by the Chinese artillery was even more powerless to stop the charge of the Chinese army, and Denikin could only watch more and more Chinese infantry rush into the trenches. Denikin laughed cruelly, the artillery of the Russian army is not as powerful as the Chinese, but the bayonet fighting is not only Denikin. All the Russian officers and soldiers thought they were much more powerful than the skinny Chinese.

The Russian officers and soldiers rushed out of the bunker with bayonets screaming, and the flashing bayonets pierced into the Chinese's bodies fiercely, and they seemed to hear the sound of the bayonets piercing into the Chinese's bodies.

The Chinese are also fighting back. Even if the Chinese soldier was stabbed in the body, he still gave away the spear in his hand with a hideous face, and the bayonet also pierced the Russian body. This is completely a life-changing style of play, and the Chinese should use practical actions to tell Russian Maozi that it is not possible to talk about Russian Maozi in terms of fierceness.

In the trenches, the sound of Chinese and Russian soldiers killing was shocking. The tall Russians were defeated by the Chinese. The Russians forgot. Here are small trenches, their tall stature is not necessarily an advantage, and they are facing an army that has been trained for ten years, even the bayonets are lengthened.

It is necessary to put in the last reserves, and it is necessary to put the first wave of attacks by the Chinese down. Denikin gritted his teeth and ordered the last mobile forces to be thrown into the battlefield, he really couldn't understand when the battle with the Chinese had been reduced to the point where it was necessary to invest all his forces at the beginning.

"Click, click, click, ......" The machine gun erected in the trench rang out. The soldier who had just rushed out of the corner was knocked out by a machine gun. Denikin watched as the Chinese mounted machine guns on the trenches, cutting off his access to reinforcements to the battlefield. He also saw a wide plank stretched across the trench. Chinese soldiers with bayonets against machine guns quickly advanced towards them, mixed with Chinese artillery with mortars.

"Slavic warriors, let the bayonets in your hands drink the blood of the Chinese. Rush—" Denikin cried out in a heart-rending cry as he summoned the last of the soldiers' courage. When the last soldier rushed forward under machine-gun fire, Denikin himself quietly retreated. He knew that his position could not be held, but for him to live, he had to ask the commanders why they held out for half an hour and could not wait for a reinforcement!?

"The central line reports that the assault force has broken through the forward positions of the Russian army and is advancing in depth."

"The northern front reported that the assault force had engaged in the main force of the Russian army, requesting additional troops in order to defeat the Russian army at once."

"It is reported that the offensive of the troops on the southern front has been blocked and is moving to the central line as planned."

The battle reports of the battles were summarized one by one to the headquarters, and the three huge red arrows on the map also extended forward on the map along with the reports. No one is going to spread all his forces evenly across the entire front, whether he is defending or attacking. Liang Huadian divided his troops into three attack directions, the north line and the middle line were all regular forward advances, and the entire tactical middle and south front troops were the only tactical forces, they just wanted to be blocked in the attack, and then suddenly turn to the middle line and merge with the middle line troops into a powerful attack force. Liang Huadian is about to break through the Russian army head-on from the middle in the first hard-to-face war between China and Russia.

"It was a classic assault battle, with light and heavy artillery and infantry perfectly coordinated, and its victory was enough to be written in a textbook. Congratulations, General Liang, according to your country's words, the general's name will also be remembered forever by future generations with this war. Horst, commander of the German Far East Army, lamented.

"It's not to be congratulated, but we don't want to use that kind of tactic. You don't understand how many soldiers fall in training, and how many die under their own fire in battle. Liang Huadian waved his hand and said helplessly: "In order to achieve the purpose of rapid advance, the distance of the infantry is still too close." ”

"General. This is war, and sacrifice is inevitable. Michael, who had also come to watch the battle, stepped forward and said, "Although there will be soldiers who will die under their own fire, it will be less than a regular charge." ”

"God knows only right or wrong." Liang Huadian sighed, and then said to the herald, "Tell the troops." Rush forward for Lao Tzu, head down. ”

The sound of gunfire, cannons, and fighting was heard in my ears. Don't care too much about military affairs, war affairs, national affairs, and everything. Denikin, who quietly retreated, told himself that he was going to ask the division commander why he hadn't sent him even a single reinforcement. Then when he went around the trench to the division headquarters, he found that the division headquarters had already been empty. Has the division commander also fled? Denikin had just come out of the empty division headquarters, and the voice of the Chinese sounded behind him. With no room for much thought, Denikin jumped into the trench and left quickly despite the pain in his leg.

"Sniper, knock out the enemy's machine gun crew."

"Machine gun crew, press down the enemy's infantry fire."

"Infantry, pause the advance. Defend on the spot. As the company commander, Lin Meng obviously felt the fierce firepower of the enemy on the opposite side, and he needed to gather his troops, the assault just now was too fast. Scattered the troops.

Company commanders are always the core command level of front-line combat units, and they must constantly command the different branches of their company on the road of charging. Let them use their maximum attack power. It is also necessary to pay attention to the consumption of ammunition and to communicate with the surrounding companies in a timely manner to cooperate with each other...... Lin Meng looked around to check the situation, he needed to judge whether the battle situation was favorable to his company from this simple disdain. However, it was on this battlefield that he saw a reinforced Russian army coming in his direction.

"Mortar squads open fire, cutting off enemy reinforcements." Lin Meng pointed at the Russian army and shouted, but he did not hear the sound of mortar fire. This time, Lin Meng, who was in a hurry, jumped to his feet, turned his head and scolded: "Where did the mortar squad die?" ”

Lin Meng turned around and found that the mortar squad to which his company belonged was leveling the surface. No way. The density of shelling during the previous fire preparation was too high, and there was not a single flat ground in the center of the entire Russian position. And mortars require a small flat piece of ground. Fortunately, they are all farmers, and it is only a matter of time to level the ground. Two mortars were erected, and after the squad leader estimated a few shells based on experience alone, the mortars fired shells non-stop. There is no way, there is no time to shoot in the fierce battlefield, so you can only adjust while fighting.

The whistling shells knocked back the Russian reinforcements, and Lin Meng saw this and immediately commanded the company to continue the charge: "Charge, use grenades to open the way." ”

The forward positions of the Russian army have been broken through in many places, and when the Chinese attacked the core positions of the Russian army, they only slowed down the pace of advance. At this time, the top command of the Russian Karachinsk front reacted, and the Chinese launched a general offensive, but at this time it was too late to adjust the deployment and launch a counteroffensive. Most of the Russian army has been disrupted, and the divisions and regiments have been divided, and it is impossible to effectively assemble forces for counterattacks. Of course, there are many good officers in the Russian army, who have held their positions in the chaotic battlefield and assembled a mobile force to reinforce the fierce battlefield, but they do not know which direction to throw their forces in, because they are surrounded by gunfire and they cannot contact their superiors. Therefore, most of them choose to hold on.

It had been two hours since the attack was launched, and Lin Meng's company was finally unable to attack. It was not that the company suffered too many casualties, nor that the enemy's resistance suddenly became resolute, but that the ammunition they carried was close to exhaustion. Unless you fight with human lives, but such behavior is not recognized in the case of our army's superiority. At this time, Lin Meng realized that he no longer knew where he had hit, and there were sounds of fighting everywhere around the smoke and dust. He rushed so fast that now he's lost......

At this moment, an army rushed from the right, and the grass-green uniforms lined up neatly in the military columns, which were so conspicuous in the earthy yellow smoke and dust. Lin Meng smiled, he could be regarded as seeing a new force, this time they had to come over with ammunition, and the friendly troops they had encountered before were actually poorer than themselves. But when he saw the person who came, Lin Meng's face changed: "Liu Er, aren't you in the third echelon?" ”

Liu Biao, the second in the family, is called Liu Er. He saw that Lin Meng was also stunned: "What about the people in the second echelon?" ”

In the interval between the battles, the two company commanders briefly exchanged what they knew, and then Liu Er continued to move forward with his company. Lin Meng's request for equal distribution of ammunition was strongly despised by Liu Er. If you don't give ammunition, you can stump Lin Meng? Lao Tzu snatched it directly from the Russians. Lin Meng was furious and ordered the collection of Russian weapons and ammunition. However, Lin Meng also knew the new order issued by the headquarters from Liu Er's mouth: attack, constantly interspersed in the direction of Omsk.

Liu Biao and Lin Meng must have only been a company commander, and they lacked an understanding of the entire battle situation, in fact, the whole battle situation became more subtle. On the surface, the Chinese army has gained complete superiority over the Russian army, but in fact, due to the continuous forcible assaults, the command has failed, and the attacking companies have been completely mixed, and the division headquarters and Ben cannot effectively command. However, there are still a considerable number of units in the Russian positions that maintain a full regimental size and hold their positions, and once they organize an effective counteroffensive, the Chinese army, which has begun to be chaotic, will not be able to organize a blockade.

Faced with such a critical situation, Liang Huadian slapped the table and ordered, regardless of the advice of the staff officer: "Don't worry about him, continue to attack." The troops directly under the divisions and regimental headquarters were also ordered to scatter them in companies, and since they had been disrupted, they would fight to the end. Throwing in the last reserves, the 11th Division was ordered to concentrate all its forces and crush the entrenched Russian troops in the position one by one. (To be continued.) )
