In fact, neither side nor Russia is ready to continue the main battle at Heigoutai, the Fifth Army has not yet completed its formation, the Third Army has not been transferred from Lushun, and new Russian reinforcements are still actively preparing in Omsk, Moscow, and other places.

No matter how the theories of modern warfare develop, the most basic principles of warfare remain unchanged for thousands of years.

When the main forces of the two sides are only a thousand meters apart, an early decisive battle is no longer inevitable, because there is no messenger between Dashan Yan and Kuropatkin who can communicate with each other, and they have no idea what the opponent is thinking about.

Out of special concern for the battle of Chiangjiayao, both sides were constantly sending the main forces to reinforcements, the army continued to increase the number of machine guns and artillery, the Second Army of the Manchurian Army under the leadership of General Ao Baogong spared no effort to attack, and Lieutenant General Kirbas did not dare to retreat, and the two sides fought here.

In just six days, on the less than two-kilometer-long defensive line, the two sides have invested more than 40,000 troops, and the total number of machine guns has exceeded 100.

Because of the fact that a high-ranking officer like Brigadier General Madenidoff was personally in charge of the command, Song Biao didn't have to think too much, he could suddenly fight on the battlefield as a soldier, but his combat method was more special.

After a gap of almost a year, he finally picked up his SVD precision rifle again, and in order not to let others, especially the Russian army, take too much special interest in his rifle, and like his Type 03 rifle, he wrapped it in a burlap outside.

He hid alone in a pre-designed highland bunker, aiming at the non-commissioned officers and machine gunners of all ranks in the Japanese army who appeared on the battlefield, sniping one after another.

He prefers this method of combat, and it is more in line with his preferences.

He can crawl silently in the bunker, coldly aiming at every suitable target of the army, with a 1/2 probability of constantly destroying the opponent, in six days, he killed a total of 247 people, most of them are military Cao, squad leader, squadron leader and machine gunners such roles, there are also higher ranks, in short, as long as the military uniform is more special, it is within the range of his sniping, if he can't find such a target, he will aim at the machine gunner, as well as those mortar gunners, and even ordinary soldiers.

After almost all the R-type bombs in his hand, he had to stop this one-sided slaughter.

Although the army knew that the Russian army on the battlefield had very accurate sharpshooters, on the noisy battlefield, they could not find the location of the sniper at all, and there were too many places for Song Biao to hide, and he would change two or three positions almost every day.

This feeling is exciting, but Song Biao has a hunch that this is not only his first time on the battlefield as a sniper, but also the last, his responsibility is no longer the accurate shooter in the army, he is a regiment commander.

He felt that he might have killed a major general of the Yue army, but he was not very sure, because it was more than seven hundred meters away, and he was actually not very sure that he had indeed killed a major general.

The Fifth Division of the Yue Army is indeed worthy of being the Steel Army of the Yue Ben, their strong offensive momentum on the front line is extremely strong, and the combat level is indeed very high, but in the face of the solid and complex fortification system built by Song Biao, and in the face of the Russian army's best efforts, the casualties of the Fifth Division are extremely serious.

One of the main advantages of the Yue army is that the soldiers are well-trained, and all the soldiers have undergone rigorous training, while the soldiers of the Russian army are basically put together on a temporary basis, and the gap between the two sides in terms of combat level and shooting ability is very obvious, especially when the Fifth Division advanced the front line to less than 300 meters away from the first line of positions in Jiangjiayao, the shooting advantage of the Yue army was gradually brought into play, and the damage of the Russian army began to increase sharply.

In order to reduce casualties as much as possible, Song Biao's countermeasure was to break up the entire battalion and supplement it to the various wings of the 2nd Infantry Regiment of Seudinsk according to the establishment of the squad, making full use of the Russian army's own combat effectiveness to contend with the army.

On February 21, 1905, the eighteenth day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar, it was a rare full moon night last night, but it was very rare to encounter a total lunar eclipse, and the short red moon made people palpitate.

In the early hours of the morning, the army organized two wings of troops to carry out their tried and tested night offensive, and in the face of two strong attacks of more than 6,000 people, Song Biao resolutely defended his reputation as a "butcher", and used the spears of his Manchurian infantry regiment and engineer brigade to counteract, and the blood of the Yue army was poured into a river, and all that was left was left at the front of the position.

He explained to Madenidorff the army's night offensive by using the classic term "pig assault tactic", and Madenidorff immediately gave him the nickname "butcher".

Although this nickname is very unelegant, and it does not conform to the image and temperament of Song Biao, a special literary and artistic youth, it really lives up to its name, and the Russian army's countermeasures against this tactic are almost all created by him.

Tricks, machine guns, shotguns, Cossack spears and flares, this is a whole set of means for Song Biao.

At dawn, when the sun shone on the front of the position, the one-kilometer-long, three-hundred-meter-wide position was covered with the corpses of the Yue army, and the bright red blood had already coagulated and frozen, dyeing patches of red frost crystals on the white snowfield.

Song Biao rarely lay on the trench in person, wearing a black felt wool cloak given to him by Brigadier General Madenidorf, Li Dayun squatted next to him and dozed off, this guy didn't sleep last night, and he still held Song Biao's two rifles in his arms, both of which were packed in sheepskin bags.

Song Biao himself held his Type 03 rifle, aimed at the position of the army, and continued to look for targets that could be shot.

This extremely bloody and brutal battle of Chiangjiayao had been fought for eleven days, and the army had advanced its position to less than 300 meters from the positions of the Russian army and the Manchurian infantry regiment, and since then it has been consumed here, unable to advance half a step, for which the Russian army and Song Biao's Manchurian infantry regiment have also suffered 7,400 casualties.

These days, Xue Changqing and Lao Jintou, who were in the rear, recruited some new recruits to supplement them, but they were only engaged in the work of the engineer and transport brigades, and they were not in a hurry to send them to the front line, and more than half of Song Biao's two combat battalions suffered casualties.

Two days earlier, the Yue army tried to advance the position to a position of 100 meters at night, and Song Biao was forced to organize a large-scale counterattack, even if the Russian army rushed to the front, his men suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately, the Yue army was finally repulsed.

This battle has been a veritable vicious battle, Britain, France, the United States and Germany are watching the battle in the nearby area, there is an American battle group in Yujiayao, fourteen American [***] officers here to check the situation, for this vicious war, all countries in the world are also paying attention.

This battle is also widely regarded as an outpost of the final Russian battle.

After 11 days of fierce fighting, the combat units and reserves of the Fifth Division of the Chinese Army were completely damaged, and the 11th Infantry Brigade and the 70th Infantry Wing, which were replenished later, also lost more than half, especially the 11th Infantry Brigade, which was about to launch a night advance battle, and was attacked head-on by Song Biao and Major Esker.

The total casualties of the army are estimated to have exceeded 18,000, while the 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments of the Russian Army, the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the newly formed Far East and the 42 infantry companies that were added later, plus Song Biao's Manchurian Infantry Regiment, suffered a total of 9,400 casualties.

Overall, even if the Russian army wins in the end, it will be the most tragic victory.

Li Fugui brought a bowl of hot porridge from the logistics brigade in advance, brought a small bowl of pickled meat and bean sauce and two pickled vegetable buns, and hurriedly brought it over and happily gave it to Song Biao.

Song Biao was engrossed in observing the movements of the Yue army, and asked Li Fugui to wait first, the situation seemed to be a little different, Song Biao saw some very strange abnormal actions in the scope, and he felt that the Yue army seemed to be retreating.

Sure enough, while retaining a part of the troops, the large force of the Yue army quietly moved to the rear position, and the Russian soldiers on the Chiang Jiayao position also seemed to be aware of this abnormal move.

Soon, Feng Lee, with a bandage on his shoulder. Major Esker hurriedly ran along the trench and asked Song Biao, "Are they going to run away?" ”

Song Biao was skeptical and said, "Maybe, you send someone to inform the brigadier general." ”

Feng. Major Esker was unwilling to persuade him: "Let's organize an attack directly, right?" Your forces and my men combined, you can make a surprise attack. ”

Song Biao refused without thinking, and said: "No, the army has kept a number of machine guns in the rear line, and it is a loss to rush hard, you go to find the right general, and let the brigadier general immediately notify the artillery regiment to strike at the forward position in an all-round way, they will fight three rounds, and then we will follow up to grab the position of the army." ”

Feng. Major Esker was now basically under Song Biao's command, and he immediately agreed, arrested the heralds who came with him, and sent them out with a few words.

Although he had to wait for Brigadier General Madenidov's artillery regiment to fire a few rounds first, Song Biao's side began to organize first, and his losses were also very heavy, but fortunately, Xiao Yuben's rifle was not powerful enough, and the brothers were wounded more and less dead, and the most important deaths actually came from the machine guns and artillery of the Yue army.

The troops that Song Biao was able to organize were mainly based on Zhang Yahu's Second Infantry Battalion, and in addition, he used two garrison squadrons, plus the Third Infantry Battalion reorganized by his brothers from the engineer battalion, Zhao Tingzhu's First Infantry Battalion was basically crippled and could no longer move for the time being.
