Chapter 374: The Bloody Battle of Soviet Russia (2)
The Russian reconnaissance teams were quickly wiped out, in fact, this conflict is also a microcosm of the entire Sino-Russian war, the Chinese side has a huge equipment advantage, and is more prepared, Russia obviously did not have time to adapt to the changes in the war situation brought about by the First World War.
However, Russia also has its own advantages, that is, their ability to adapt to the climate of the Far East, and the fact that they have ruled the Far East for hundreds of years has also made Russia very familiar with it.
Bryukhel commanded the troops to approach Nebuchu, and soon the intelligence officers of the Russian majority party told Bryukhur that China had seized Nebuchu in advance, and from the intelligence, the [***] team actually had a large number of tanks.
Bruhel suddenly secretly screamed in his heart, during the Russian Civil War, Bryuhel dealt with tanks, and knew the power of this weapon, at that time, Bryuhel could only rely on building a tight defense system, and then use artillery to destroy those steel monsters, but now he is on the attacking side, can he deal with tanks with cavalry?
Bruher's humble background, but it also freed him from the shackles of old thinking, and he was able to clearly realize the huge advantage of tanks over cavalry, so Bryuhel did not rush to attack, but began to build a defensive line twenty kilometers away from Nebuchu, adopted a defensive posture, and did not attack blindly, Bruher's caution allowed him to avoid an offensive that had been brewing on the Chinese side for a long time!
Lu Han thought that the Russian soldiers would collide with each other and put on another good show of tanks crushing the cavalry, but since the other side was not fooled, the Chinese side did not rush to launch an offensive, but chose to wait, let the Russian side concentrate more troops, and then the Chinese could eliminate them in one fell swoop, complete the battle, and avoid falling into an endless war of attrition, and the same is true for Russia, a steady stream of soldiers from Chita were transported to the vicinity of Nebuchu.
Both armies were actively building fortifications, and there was an eerie tranquility on the battlefield, but the Chinese side had cities as their backing, and obviously occupied a dominant position, and in a few days the servant army led by Semyonov had arrived in Nebuchu, and Semyonov had brought a total of four divisions, nearly 50,000 men, all of whom were selected from the White Russians.
Now all equipped with Chinese weapons, and at the same time a large number of machine guns and heavy artillery, it immediately made Semenov's waist straight, but Semenov is not stupid, China can provide itself with such a good weapon, which means that the equipment of the Chinese [***] team is better, it is not something that they can fight against at all, and they can only be honest dogs!
Zhang Zuolin is less than 1.6 meters tall and is a famous little man, and Semyonov tries to lower his body whenever he sees this commander-in-chief, appearing humble and respectful to the extreme.
"Archon Semenov, aren't you incompatible with the Red Russians, now that your men are well fed, it's a good time for revenge, you won't be afraid of swords and avoid swords!"
"Honorable Commander, we do have a deep enmity with those damned majority parties, and I am willing to take the lead in attacking!"
Zhang Zuolin at this time with the two divisions adapted from the old Feng army has arrived in Nebuchu, for the Russian Red Army's combat effectiveness Zhang Zuolin did not count in his heart, to be able to defeat himself, there must be some way, so Zhang Zuolin did not agree to Lu Han's request for war, or let Semenov test the depth of the Russians, so that he knows himself and the enemy, so that he can not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Semenov knew that the other party was using himself as cannon fodder, but he had no choice but to fight, and Semenov had been on the battlefield for many years, and he was still very experienced in commanding the troops, and the reorganized White Russian troops pressed the Russian Red Army on all fronts.
Looking at the jumping war horses on the white field, Semenov was full of pride in his heart, once upon a time he had so many troops, but he was defeated, and now his strength is even stronger, then he must not fail, and he must eliminate those damned revolutionaries.
Soon the White Russian army approached the positions of the Red Army, and Semenov first commanded his subordinates to concentrate all the artillery and launched a fierce bombardment of the Red Army positions.
The roar of the heavy artillery shook the heavens and the earth, and a single shell could blow up a large crater with a radius of more than ten meters, and all the snow and sediment were lifted, and the entire Red Army position seemed to have entered the last day, a mess!
In order to understand the combat effectiveness of the Red Army, Zhang Zuolin and others personally came to the front line to secretly observe, and after seeing the shelling of the White Russian army, they all unconsciously shook their heads, these White Russian artillery training is too poor, and the artillery is very happy, but there is no accurate surname, it is difficult to produce the actual surname of the kill, but it is a waste of precious shells.
"Damn, I knew I wouldn't give these losers a cannon, isn't this a tyrannical thing!"
Zhang Zuolin angrily took a horsewhip and slapped a White Russian officer next to him, "Go and tell that stupid man, don't let him waste shells anymore, charge me, aren't you a tall man, go fight bayonets, and if you waste shells, I will let you all go to work as laborers on the railway!" ”
This Russian [***] official saw that Zhang Zuolin was angry, and he was also a little afraid, especially let them build the railway, it is not a good fire, because the weather in Siberia is too cold, and there is a long muddy season every year, so that the Siberian Railway often has to carry out various maintenance, in the vast snowfield, endure the cold wind and mud to repair the railway is definitely such a human thing!
Therefore, this roe head rat-like officer ran in the direction of Semenov's command post, Semenov was originally quite happy, these are all shells given by the Chinese for nothing, he is not distressed, but now that Zhang Zuolin's order has come down, he does not dare to disobey, he can only urge the White Russian troops to charge towards the Red Army position!
These Russians shouted Ulla, and the slogan of Ulla, like a tide, rushed towards the position of the Red Army, and when it was still four or five hundred meters away from the position, the Russian position, which had been unusually silent, suddenly rang out with dense gunfire, and the machine guns were like raindrops, and they tilted over frantically, and the White Russians who rushed to the forefront fell one by one.
However, the Russians deserved to be the most obedient soldiers, in the face of the astonishing casualties, these White Russians did not hesitate, or moved forward, the crazy bloodthirsty momentum became more and more ferocious, closer and closer to the positions of the Russians, at this time the mortars on the Red Army side were also put into battle!
Limited by the industrial level, Russia cannot produce heavy artillery on a large scale, but the Russians are very aware of the importance of artillery, so the Red Army is equipped with a large number of relatively simple and light mortars, but a large number of mortars and 10,000 guns show that the power is also very amazing!
A large number of White Russians died in front of the position, the battle became more and more cruel, the White Russians tried their best, and finally approached the position, at this time the Red Army position sounded an earth-shattering shout of Ulla, and the Russian Red Army rushed out with bayonets.
The leaders at the forefront were all officers and party members, and there were indeed many great things about the fact that the majority party in Russia was able to eventually become the master of Russia, and the criterion for judging the combat effectiveness of a unit in the Red Army was often the proportion of party members and regimental members, and the higher this ratio, the stronger the fighting power, the more able it was to bear sacrifices, and the strength of the spirit was actually a very remarkable thing.
The same Russians, one side was armed by the majority, the other was reluctantly recruited by Semenov, and in the middle of the battle immediately there was a huge disparity, the Red Army was completely desperate, wounded and bleeding still charging forward, as long as they did not die, they would never stop attacking, this will to fight is indeed very amazing.
The White Russian soldiers were pierced by bayonets one after another, Semenov only felt that his heart was bleeding uncontrollably, this is his future capital, if they are all dead now, what hope does he have, of course, he can't retreat, and there are a group of masters to see their own performance, so Semenov had to put his henchmen into the battlefield, these are the brave and warlike Cossacks are Semenov's last reliance.
At this time, the morale of the Russian Red Army was getting higher and higher, the corpses of the White Russians were already all over the positions, the smell of fish stimulated people's adrenaline, forgetting the fatigue, forgetting the pain, and forgetting the fear, completely becoming a tool of war, a killing machine, and the Cossacks could not resist the Red Army's tenacious will to fight.
Zhang Zuolin also saw almost at this time, and withdrew from the front line, the Russian Red Army is indeed a very good unit, obedient and strong, brave in battle, not afraid of life and death, of course, it also has a fatal flaw, that is, the strategic thinking is seriously lagging behind, and it is still in the stage of World War I, and in terms of firepower configuration, it is not comparable to the powers during World War I, especially on the battlefield, there is no air power invested, it is simply unimaginable!
Generally speaking, the Red Army is a strong opponent, and the Chinese side cannot afford to be negligent, after more than half a day of fighting, more than 10,000 White Russian soldiers died in front of the position, which can be described as heavy losses, and the Chinese side also knows that if these White Russians are killed, it will not do China any good, and now it is time for China to show its strength.
The first to attack was the Chinese Air Force, China took off twenty planes in the first wave, these planes loaded with bombs came to the positions of the Red Russia, because the Russian side did not have planes, and did not have enough anti-aircraft firepower, they could only be beaten passively, the bombs fell from the planes one after another, and the violent explosions quickly harvested lives, and those bravest soldiers, the soldiers who never frowned in the face of bayonets, were at a loss in the face of the bombing of the Air Force!
The taste of being beaten passively was really uncomfortable, and there were a few planes on the Russian side that barely took off to meet them, but these planes were old models, extremely slow, and they were no match for the vigorous Chinese Warhawks, and they were quickly blown up in the air, and all of them, including the pilots, were reduced to a pile of debris.
Seeing that their air force had no ability to parry, the morale of the Russian [***] team became more and more depressed, and the air force bombarded the Russians indiscriminately, and then the God of War artillery also began to exert its might, this time it was not the kind of garbage artillery of the White Russians, but the elite of China that had been tempered on the battlefield, and the shells were very accurate, and soon most of the bunkers and fortifications of the Russian Red Army were destroyed.
Although the Russian side is also equipped with artillery, but the range can not be compared with the Chinese at all, can only be passively beaten, the artillery terrifying attack has not ended, the Chinese infantry began to press the Russian position, this time China did not use armored forces to open the way, but used infantry attack, these infantry in strict accordance with the tactical requirements, three people in a group, covering each other, alternately pressed towards the Russian side.
The sharp artillery fire greatly suppressed the Russian army, so that they could not raise their heads at all, even if some brave soldiers poked their heads out, they were quickly killed by the sharpshooters on the Chinese side, relying on close cooperation with the Chinese infantry to quickly approach the Russian broken positions!
