In the bunker, Chaganba, who was sitting next to the firing port with a light machine gun, licked his chapped lips and looked down at the ammunition box, there were not many bullets left.

Beside him, the cold corpse of his comrade, Arjuna had turned into his sub-machine gunner since late last night, loading him with ammunition.

Chaganba looked at his wife and said with some bitterness: "Arjuna, do you still have bullets for your six-thunder cannon?" ”

Arjuna said lightly: "I will keep two bullets." ”

Chaganba sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I hurt you." ”

Arjuna smiled softly and said, "With you, I am not afraid of anything, and when I meet you, I know why the flowers on the mountain are so beautiful." As she spoke, she gently leaned on Chaganba's side and said, "Kill a few more wolves to avenge ourselves." ”

Chaganba smiled and nodded.

"Sister-in-law! You're so brave! In front of another shooting hole, a soldier in gray uniformed smiled and said, judging by his age, he was fifteen or sixteen years old.

Arjuna was surprised: "Little brother, how old are you this year?" She had always wondered why this child, who was said to be a veteran, would become a soldier and a platoon commander, but she was embarrassed to ask.

The young platoon leader grinned and said, "I'm seventeen, and I look small." ”

Arjuna said, "I heard that you have been a soldier for a long time? ”

The small platoon commander stuck out his tongue and said, "Ten years of military experience!" As if he knew what Arjuna wanted to ask, he said, "I almost starved to death that year, and I was saved by the emperor's own soldiers from the side of the road, and wanted to send me to school, how do I know that?" Later, I joined the Sentinel Team, put a sentry, spy on a message or something. Later, I joined the army, the emperor ascended the throne, and the baby soldiers were dismissed, but I begged for a long time, because I was a sharpshooter, and the pipe band liked me, and the report was stacked up, and we all signed it, as if we had alarmed the Admiral, and finally left me behind. ”

Arjuna sighed and said, "Such a small point, alas......"

The small platoon commander smiled: "What's the matter, sister-in-law, you are brave, am I not brave?" Defend the emperor's country, defend the country, and protect my future daughter-in-law, so I am not afraid of death! ”

Arjuna was surprised: "Are you interested in someone?" ”

The small platoon leader said: "There will be in the future!" It's just that I can't see her anymore! ”

Arjuna didn't know what to do, she felt slightly uncomfortable, yes, he would never see the person he wanted again, what about herself, in the next life, will you see Chaganba's eldest brother?

"Little bean sprouts, do you miss your daughter-in-law again?" On the three-story wooden ladder, poke down a bearded head.

The small platoon commander hurriedly straightened up and said, "Report to the battalion commander!" No! Don't listen to their nonsense! ”

The battalion commander laughed and said, "Come, let's sing a military song, and my chest will stand up for me!" ”

"I have a sword, be generous! Hit the middle stream, the wind is strong! Decisive victory, through Changhong, how many strange husbands in ancient and modern times! Broken head yellow dust, Yan Ran stranded his work, and his blood is still red! ”

"Broken head yellow dust, Yan Ran Legong, so far the blood is still red!"

The low singing voice sounded slowly, as if it was contagious, and even the wounded who had gritted their teeth and remained silent under the care of the hygienist were struggling at this moment and sang along.

The crisp voices of Arjuna and several female hygienists also echoed in the rough singing, there were very few female hygienists in the border guards and field armies, but there were a few Mongolian girls in the Kizil border regiment.

In the past, it was difficult for Arjuna to understand the meaning of this military song, and it was difficult to understand the pride and pride of these Central Plains people singing military songs, but now, she understands!

This song is the condensation of the blood of thousands of imperial warriors, the soul of the army, and the soul of the country!

Myself, this low-born Fanbang woman, is also fortunate to be one of them?!

Outside, the sound of gunfire suddenly became dense, and soon, the barrels of guns were sticking out of each firing hole in the bunker, but almost unbelievably, there were sentries on the third floor who shouted in amazement: "It's our people?" Then he shouted: "It's our people, it's our reinforcements!" ”

The pillbox was boiling, and under heavy Russian fire, only this half-ground tower concrete fort leaning on the mountainside was spared, and in a dense forest trench leaning on the pillbox was the last position of the border regiment.

"Are we really saved?" Arjuna looked out of the shooting hole in disbelief, only to see a group of gray-uniformed soldiers searching, and behind them, two steel giants rumbled along.

…… After helping the infantry break through the Russian line at the southern end of Kizil, the "Thunder" quickly withdrew from the battlefield, so as not to become a live target and be destroyed by Russian fire. Before the return trip, in the city of Kizil, the soldiers in the car quickly got out of the car and refueled with gasoline and water, so that they could leave the battlefield normally, and the space on the car was cramped, and they could only refuel once.

There are also a few armored vehicles left, the earliest experimental products, extremely expensive, the machine gun towers of the Martian four take up a lot of space, and there is no safety iron box dedicated to storing gasoline, and now it can only be left as a heavy machine gun pillbox.

In the brick house of the headquarters, the matchmaker planted a few small red flags, and she knew better than anyone that after re-entering Kizil City, the real battle had just begun.

Seeing that the matchmaker pointed to the location of a green flag, Chief of Staff Zhao Puyu said: "It's the artillery position of the Russians." ”

The small red flag closest to the green flag was just planted by the red lady, and it was the two infantry regiments of the 2nd Division of the Xiangshan Army that followed the ironclad car into Kizil.

The matchmaker moved the small red flag forward slightly, and then moved the position of the rest of the small flags, and said, "It's time to launch a general attack!" ”

On the sand table, it can be clearly seen that, in addition to the staggered positions in the Kizil area, the red flag has basically completed the encirclement in the edge area.

Obviously, the matchmaker's appetite is quite big, and she wants to encircle and annihilate the more than 100,000 Russian troops who arrived in Kizil in advance.

When the order of the general attack reached the divisions and regiments through the telephone lines, in the distance, suddenly the artillery roared, and even a hundred miles away where the matchmaker was located, the earth could be felt trembling.

In the Central Theater commanded by the Red Lady, the empire gathered the elite of the empire such as the Xiangshan Group Army, the First Group Army, the Third Group Army, and the Seventh Group Army, with more than 190,000 infantry, 80,000 cavalry, and nearly 200,000 reserve troops.

On the Kizil battlefield, there were 400 infantry battalions and 195 cavalry battalions of the reserve, with more than 300,000 men.

When thousands of artillery pieces bombarded the Russian positions in the north and east of Kizil, when the dense sea of people tactics appeared in front of the Russian positions, when the imperial [***] team, with the company as the basic combat unit, charged with light and heavy machine guns and mortar firepower, the Russians who were caught off guard were stunned at once, if the ironclad tactics were just a psychological deterrent, then this direct fire strike brought panic to the Russians, unconsciously, Everywhere, the Russians' shrinking positions were divided and surrounded by Chinese soldiers.

Division Commander Dragomirov, who believed in bayonet victory, suffered from the fierce fire of the Chinese, and his division headquarters and an infantry regiment were surrounded by the Chinese in the north of Kizil City, street battles in the ruins area, and the light and heavy weapons of the Chinese were simply terrifying.

The Russian high command in the hills and forests north of Kizil was already in disarray, and in a short period of time, the commander Mikhail? Nikolanavich lost contact with more than half of the infantry regiments.

Mikhail? Nikolanavich paced again and again, and the advance of the Chinese infantry sea was far faster than he had imagined.

Although the Cossack cavalry caused a lot of trouble to the Chinese, it was only in local confrontations, when more than 10,000 Cossacks lying in ambush on the left flank in the col were blown apart by the Chinese artillery fire, it was difficult for the Cossack cavalry to organize an effective charge against the Chinese.

There is no doubt that the entire battlefield is under the surveillance of Chinese balloon scouts.

But Mikhail? Nikolanavich still couldn't figure out how the Cossack cavalry in the col was discovered by the Chinese, unless the Chinese commander knew the area well and was more keen to guess his own troop deployment according to the development of the war situation.

When Mikhail? Nikolanavich asked Renchenv, deputy chief of the General Staff on his side: "Who is the commander-in-chief of the Chinese?" Seeing Deputy General Chief Renchenv's stunned expression, Nikolanavich smiled bitterly, only to realize that he and others knew nothing about the Chinese.

…… Arjuna did not evacuate the position with the wounded, but took up her rifle and became an infantryman with her husband, and the ugly-looking bearded company commander scolded her loudly, but under her husband's low explanation, the bearded company commander looked back at her several times, and finally did not object.

At this time, she, the bearded company commander, and the fire squad of this infantry company, were hiding behind the wall of a ruin, and on the roof of a house dozens of paces to the north, there were Russian soldiers shooting wildly.

The Imperial Field Army, under normal circumstances, the company-level unit is equipped with three light machine guns to form a firepower squad, the bearded company commander belongs to the First Division of the Seventh Army of the Imperial Royal Army, the Seventh Army is a field army that has just become an army, this time as the first combat unit The opportunity to project to the battlefield was not easy, the first division got the opportunity to attack the northern area of the city, and I heard that the division commander Cheng Xueqi patted Su Niangniang's chest on the phone.

Su Niangniang knows the first division of our Seventh Army, so the emperor should also know, right? The bearded company commander couldn't help but be enthusiastic when he thought about it, at this time, he personally grabbed a machine gun, and said in a low voice: "Damn, we can't embarrass ourselves, or don't we catch up with Emperor Ming'er's grandfather and Niangniang to ask, which company of your first division was the first to plant the military flag in the position of the Rakshasa ghost, and our division commander is going to report the name of another company, are we ashamed?!" ”

"Chirp chirp", the sound of bullets flying overhead.

"Xiao Jiu! You squat, Lao Tzu goes to the room to knock out this point! The bearded company commander shouted, and the soldier who called Xiao Jiu hesitated for a moment, and said, "Company commander, I'll come......" was glared at by the bearded man's eyes, and hurriedly squatted down, and the bearded man stepped on his shoulder and said, "Get up!" Xiao Jiu got up quickly, the bearded man had already climbed the eaves and jumped onto the roof, and at the same time, the other two machine gunners also concocted the same way into the house, and took the machine gun handed by the soldiers, and then there was a bang, bangbang, and the dust was flying, and then I heard the bearded man's scolding: "It's really unlucky, this broken house." "Where can the adobe house, which has been blown out, hold the recoil of his three men and machine guns?

"The fire point is gone!" One of the machine gunners grinned, indeed, the gunfire was no longer audible on the opposite roof.
