After a heavy rain, a milky white fog accumulates in the forest, and the sparse sound of gunfire echoes in the thick fog, which seems a little dull, but makes the forest reveal its hidden dangers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The fighting continues, and in the past few days, the offensive and defense have been staged in this land, whether it is offensive or defensive, it has never been one-sided for the Chinese and Russian armies, the Northeast Army is attacking, and it is also defending. The Russians, as defenders, will also launch counter-offensives locally.

Nearly one million troops from China and Russia fought fiercely in the mountains and forests of Trans-Baikal and in the wilderness, which may be the largest battle in human history, and it is precisely because of this that she will attract the attention of the world, attract soldiers all over the world, everyone knows very well that compared to the Boer War in South Africa, whether it is the Northeast Army or the Russian Army, they will invest the most elite troops and the most sophisticated equipment, and of course, the most modern military tactics You a certain ball, the victory of this large-scale battle!

As soon as he walked out of the tent, Duan Qirui, who was wearing the uniform of a major general of the Beiyang Army, walked around the position of the Northeast Army as usual, and William, Fox and others had not yet woken up.

As the commander of the sixth town of the Beiyang Army, Duan Qirui was sent by Li Hongzhang to the Northeast Army to serve as a military observer for the rest of his life, although he was unwilling in his heart, but he had no choice but to obey.

The current Beiyang Army is by no means different from the Huai Army Yong Battalion of the year, after ten years of operation, the Beiyang Army has already changed the situation that the Huai Army soldiers were generals, even as the commander of a town, in the face of a paper order Duan Qirui can only obey. Just like he was transferred from the Zhejiang New Army to the Beiyang Army.

But this trip to the Northeast. But it also gave Duan Qirui an insight. finally made him understand, where is the Northeast Army strong?

On the trench hundreds of meters ahead, there seemed to be smoke, and the soldiers of the Northeast Army in black military uniforms stretched out and walked along the trenches, and in some places, some of the night bonfires had not even been extinguished. There was silence all around, but this silence only lasted for a while, and soon, these Northeast Army soldiers would launch an attack under the cover of intensive machine gun fire.

Compared with any army in the world, firepower is the biggest advantage of the Northeast Army, light and heavy machine guns and mortars constitute the firepower pillar of the Northeast Army, in the previous battle, Duan Qirui has witnessed how a regiment of the Northeast Army pressed a division of Russian troops to fight, they rely on powerful firepower, and the suppressed Russian army can't raise its head at all.

"General Duan. You woke up early! ”

Tojo Kyo had a smile on his face when he saw Duan Qirui, the two of them in the past month. Occasionally, they would be together to relax the military and oriental civilization, and even gave him a feeling of meeting and hating each other.

In the eyes of the Tojo Sect, Duan Qirui is undoubtedly a standard soldier, but at the same time he is also a literati, and the two talked together not only about Chinese issues, but also about Eastern civilization and how it was passed on when Western civilization invaded.

Of course, the two will also discuss the issue of China's reunification, although Duan Qirui is the general of the Beiyang Army, but this does not prevent him from praising the Northeast Army, once the Northeast Army moves south, even the Beiyang Army can no longer stop the attack of the Northeast Army!

In China, who can stop the Northeast Army?

If Li Hongzhang sent Duan Qirui and others to the Northeast at the beginning, he intuitively understood the strength of the Northeast Army as military observers! Then Duan Qirui is undoubtedly competent, he fully understands the strength of the Northeast Army.

But it is precisely because of this that his understanding of the Northeast Army made him soberly aware of a fact...... There is no longer any army in China that can stop the Northeast Army!

The simplest fact is that two months after the outbreak of the war, the Northeast Army mobilized nearly 2 million troops, while the corresponding Northeast only had a population of more than 30 million.

In contrast, how many troops can Beiyang mobilize? What's more, the Northeast Army also has advantages in technology and equipment, and of course, in training.

It is precisely because of this that Duan Qirui will admit that it will be the Northeast Army that will unify China in the future, rather than the Beiyang, which seems to be strong.

"The guns are going to be hot, and I don't want to sleep peacefully!"

During the conversation, Qi Rui looked at the soldiers of the Northeast Army who were grabbing the rice in the wooden box to eat, they were eating rice and meat pieces, even on the front line, the logistics department still tried their best to ensure the supply of the soldiers.

A fierce battle is about to start today.

"I heard that General Duan will return to Tianjin in the near future to serve as the deputy director of the Beiyang General Staff, which is really gratifying!"

Tojo Jiao stared at Duan Qirui, and the saber pressed the hilt with his palm.

"If the Northeast and Beiyang can join hands, then the Manchu rule will inevitably be overthrown, that is, our oriental civilization will be protected, and our East Asian nation will eventually win freedom, and then maybe you and I will have a fate to work together!"

"All this depends on the meaning of Lord Zhongtang!"

Looking at Tojo Sect, Duan Qirui said calmly.

"Tojo, you need to understand that now China has nine points in the world, and the three powers are opposed, unless one side takes the initiative to make concessions, I am afraid that it will ...... in the future"

When the words came to his lips, Duan Qirui was no longer willing to continue.

This one...... Tojo Kyo's voice was hoarse, could it be that war was inevitable?

"General Duan, do we have to fight in the same room after we defeat the Russians?"

Tojo Kyo's face showed a hint of sadness.

"My son! Died in Vladivostok, and wrote in his last words that this war will determine the fate of the East Asian nations, this holy war for the East Asian nations! ……”

At the mention of his fallen son, Tojo's expression was extremely calm, he had accepted the fact that his son had been killed, but he could not accept the future war.

"Many warriors will survive this holy war, but in the future, they will have to sacrifice their young lives because of the ambition of careerists, is it worth it?"

The careerist in Tojo Sect's mouth was of course referring to the governor of Kannai, and his words made Duan Qirui silent for a while.

"I ...... I don't know! 0”

Just as the two were talking, the sound of cannon fire suddenly rang out. A dull explosion echoed through the air. Then came the sound of a dense rifle. The fire on both sides became more and more intense, and soon turned into an indistinguishable roar of gunfire.

At this time, Duan Qirui and Hojokawa ended their chat, which was not a pleasant chat, and walked quickly towards the observation post at the front, at this time the observation post was crowded with military observers from Britain, Germany, the United States, France and other countries. The artillery fire of the Northeast Army quickly flooded the Russian positions.

"They might be able to break through here today!"

Duan Qirui thought so in his heart, and in the smoke of gunpowder, the figure of infantry soon appeared, and then a group of attacking Northeast Army soldiers, thousands of bayonets reflected the white light shining in the morning light.

The soldiers of the Northeast Army were greeted by the intensive artillery fire of the Russian army, and the soldiers of the Northeast Army were constantly blown away by shells and hit by bullets, and this attack was completely a massacre.

If you look closely, you can notice that the straggler line of the Northeast Army is a diamond-shaped formation. In groups of four, keep a certain distance and attack the positions of the Russian army. It is the distance between them that makes it impossible for shells to kill more than one person at a time, and even the dense fire of machine guns cannot kill many people at once.

"The old-fashioned skirmishers are simply a massacre in front of machine guns!"

Li Qingyun, who was beside Duan Qirui, said in extremely subtle words on his lips, and then continued to watch the battle ahead, this is the best time to inspect the combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army, in addition to the people sent by the Beiyang Army, the Hubei Army also sent their people, Li Qingyun is a high-achieving student who graduated from the Northeast Army Military Academy, and served in the General Staff Department of the Hubei Army.

Despite this, perhaps because of the relationship between leaving the Northeast for many years, yes, her understanding of infantry tactics is still stuck when she graduated from the Army Military Academy, and this time he watched the battle Yes, he learned about the progress of the Northeast Army over the years.

"Machine guns! It seems that everyone has ignored the role of machine guns before, and even with so many machine guns, the Northeast Army can also be invincible......"

Putting down the telescope in his hand, Li Qingyun turned his head to look at Duan Qirui.

"General Duan, when are you leaving? How many days will it be? Or tomorrow? ”

"In a few days! …… You see they got it from the flanks. ”

The sudden appearance of the Sun and Moon Flag on the rear flank of the Russian army in the telescope made Duan Qirui and Li Qingyunci turn their attention to the Russian position.

The Northeast Army, which was roundabout from the flank of the Russian army, shouted "Long live" and launched an attack on the flank and rear of the Russian army, and the Russian army on the back did not show fear, nor did it rout, but shouted "Ula" without showing weakness, and killed the Northeast Army in front and behind the flank, and the brutal white-knuckle battle unfolded on the Russian position, at the moment of the Russian counteroffensive, the Northeast Army seemed to be pressed back dozens of meters, but after a while they pressed the Russian army back with bayonets, and at this time the artillery of both sides had completely stopped shelling, What is staged on the positions of the Russian army is the most primitive struggle between forces and forces, knives and knives, and the confrontation of wills and wills.

In the telescope, you can clearly see a lieutenant colonel of the Russian army wielding a saber in one hand and a pistol in the other, firing bows left and right on the battlefield to kill and kill, which will even bring wounded soldiers out with rifles and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Northeast Army, which has the advantage of troops. At this time, the Northeast Army, which had detoured from the right flank, was about to attack the Russian positions and launched an attack on them.

This scene made the observers of various countries sigh for Russia, maybe this position will fall today, these days they are accustomed to the bloody and martial arts of the East.

"Maybe the Northeast Army can ......"

As soon as the words of Major Wells, the British observer, fell, a burst of artillery suddenly sounded on the mountain, the artillery was fired from behind the Russian army, and when the Northeast Army was about to seize the position, the Russian gunners used shotguns to fire several cannons one after another at the front that was tearing up, and at the moment of the cannonade, a cloud of blood mist poured out of the originally fierce battlefield, and the body was torn apart by the shotgun Not only the Northeast Army, but also the Russian army.

The continuous roar of artillery turned into an attack and blasted back the Northeast Army with shotguns, but Wells and the others' eyes widened at this moment, and they couldn't say anything for a long time.

"The martial arts of the Russian army are no less than the Chinese!"

Duan Qirui couldn't help but sigh, it can be clearly seen from the telescope that those Russian soldiers, from the very beginning, planned to lead the dominant Northeast Army from the firepower blind corner to the area with dense firepower, and the gunners could use shotguns to severely damage these Northeast Army that threatened the fort, and also severely damage the Russian soldiers who rushed out of the fort to start a white-knuckle battle.

Li Qingyun nodded, in the past half a month, he has raised the Russians by several levels in his heart, just as those foreigners said, Russia has the best soldiers in the world, and the only regret is probably those officers.

Compared to those good soldiers, the Russian officers look a little stupid! They couldn't adapt to the offensive methods of the Northeast Army, at the beginning of the war, he even witnessed thousands of Russian soldiers holding bayonets, like the Northeast Army launching a counteroffensive! But they were brutally slaughtered by their machine guns.

The massacre was completely one-sided, just like now, when the Northeast Army, which was heavily damaged by the concentrated attack of the shotguns, retreated to the vicinity of the Russian position, the Russian reinforcements who arrived in time cut off their retreat there, and came up from the two wings, trying to annihilate the Northeast Army, and the two sides immediately launched a white-knuckle battle between people, thousands of Russian troops in white uniforms and the Northeast Army in black uniforms, white and black were completely mixed, whether it was the artillery of the Northeast Army or the Russian artillery, they no longer fired at this battlefield, On the side of the Russian army, batches of new forces came one after another, and soon the black figure was swallowed by the white figure, and when the black figure was swallowed, the war was once again shrouded in a rain of bullets, which was the artillery bombardment of the Northeast Army.

"Hey"

When the shelling of the Northeast Army stopped again, Duan Qirui couldn't help but sigh, looking at the iron-faced Tojo Sect, his face showed some sympathy, modern war is like a meat grinder that devours life, even if the Northeast Army wins the final victory of the war, this land will inevitably be stained red by the blood of the Northeast Army.

"Gentlemen, today we have once again witnessed the brave ...... of the Northeast Army"

Lieutenant Colonel Wilkinson of the United States only made Li Qingyun and Duan Qirui look at each other, every time it is like this, this is a praise of the Northeast Army, it is clearly encouraging the Northeast Army to continue their offensive, continue their martial arts, continue to bleed here, the blood of the Northeast people is dry, there will be no threat to the interests of the United States, maybe this is what Lieutenant Colonel Wilkinson thinks in his heart.

The assault that had begun in the early morning was over near noon, and the battlefield was once again calm, and the air was filled with only the occasional scattered sound of artillery, and the barracks were filled with the screams of the wounded of the Northeast Army, while many more were resting in shelters or bunkers, and perhaps after nightfall they would need to launch an attack. (To be continued.) )
