"Toot ......"

In the early morning of September 24, the whistle echoed in the Russian positions, and the Russian soldiers, who had been preparing for several hours, with the hope of rescuing their comrades and winning the war in one fell swoop, stood up in the direction of the attack. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After checking the preparation of the soldiers for the last time, Captain Mirinovich looked at the soldiers and agitated.

"Friends, if we win this battle. Then we will win this war, we will save the Far Eastern Army, then we will soon be able to end this war, and each and every one of us will become a hero of Russia......"

After some pre-war agitation, Captain Mirinovich pulled out his pistol again.

"Sergeant, take my gun! If someone retreats or doesn't leave the trenches, then it's up to you to carry out the order! ”

"Yes, sir!"

When the sergeant's voice fell.

The shelling that lasted for five days finally stopped, and silence was instantly restored between heaven and earth, and everyone knew that the rising sun shone on the battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder was gradually dissipating. This is the calm before the big war, and it is a signal that the desperate battle is about to begin.

At 7:30 in the morning, a shrill military whistle suddenly sounded on the positions of the Russian army,

"Quick, fast......"

Standing at the top of the ladder, Captain Mirinovich shouted loudly, urging the soldiers to rush out of the trench along the ladder, while the sergeant kicked the soldiers who were too slow with his pistol, pushing them out of the trench more than two meters deep.

In just a few minutes. Nearly 80,000 Russian soldiers climbed out of the trenches and then began to march in formation towards the positions of the Northeast Army. At this moment, the Russian artillery once again began the cover of the heaviest artillery fire before the charge. The position of the Northeast Army, which had long been bombed into ruins, was immediately covered by a rain of bullets, which was the latest research result of the Russians, to be precise, in the face of the heavy casualties in the past few months, Semenovich made an adjustment, of course, this is not only a summary of the battle, but also a reference, drawing on the "Xu Jin barrage" cover used by the Northeast Army in the offensive.

This tactic is also new to the Northeast Army, and the same is true for the Russian army, but before the war, Semenovich also conducted a series of special camping training for the division scheduled to participate in the war, simulating the method of assault on the defense of the Chinese army, and adopting a coordinated operation in which the infantry gradually attacked and advanced the defensive positions with the cooperation of artillery fire. And in terms of armament. In order to ensure victory, Russia has also exhausted all means, and even ignored the lack of universal caliber of weapons and ammunition, and even deliberately imported more than 1,000 Maxim machine guns of different calibers and Haqikais machine guns from Russia and France.

However, despite this, be prepared. The Russians still haven't figured out the number of "barrages advance at a certain speed to cover the advance of our infantry", and although everyone is debating how fast the barrage should go, the reality is that the speed of the barrage can never keep up with the speed at which the infantry can catch up with the fighters. If the infantry is held back by something, the barrage will advance away from the infantry on its own, and the infantry will stay in the open like a duckling to be slaughtered, and when the infantry advances too fast, they will find themselves limited by their own artillery barrage and unable to effectively pursue the fleeing enemy.

On the other hand, many artillery batteries are required to concentrate their firepower to form a crawling barrage, so such tactics at the command level are usually the infantry division or infantry corps artillery officers to set up observation posts and command operations under conditions where various communication conditions are very stable; Infantry battalion and regiment commanders use various signal flares to indicate that the speed of the barrage is too slow or too fast.

This approach may seem like a solution, but on the battlefield, the smoke screen from the explosion of artillery shells makes the coordination of signals between artillery and infantry less effective, and too slow or too fast is almost inevitable.

In contrast, the solution of the Northeast Army is very simple - 150 meters!

The Xu Jin barrage can be kept at a distance of 150 meters from the main infantry detachment, and the Xu Jin barrage is not controlled by the infantry, but by the artillery observers in the rear, although this barrage will cause accidental damage, but it can maximize the covering role of the Xu Jin barrage, however, the Russians have obviously not figured this out. In fact, the Northeast Army did not deliberately understand this, but compared with the Russians, after repeated exercises, the Northeast Army chose this seemingly dull but easier method.

At the time of the Russian attack, although the trenches had been badly destroyed by the shelling, the remaining observers in the trenches had detected their movements through the periscopes, and the soldiers were all crouching at the mouth of the tunnel, ready to wait for the enemy's shelling to extend backwards and quickly occupy the surface positions. In the past few days of shelling, the officers and men of the Northeast who had long been suppressed immediately poured out of the underground fortifications, and they all moved all the heavy machine guns to the positions, quickly dug out the bunkers, pointed the muzzles of the black holes at the open area in front of the positions, and prepared for shooting, and the light machine guns of each infantry platoon were also carefully arranged in the blind area between the heavy machine guns for "making up for blindness".

"Stay in formation!"

"Maintain Formation ......"

In the open no-man's land, among the withered yellow meadows, the Russian soldiers in white uniforms stood out, and the officers kept shouting and roaring to maintain the formation of the infantry formation, although the war had been going on for several months, but for the Russians, they still had not changed the tactics of the Turkish war, and on the other hand, both the Russian officers and soldiers believed that the Chinese army could be razed to the ground in the previous days. It must have been wiped out a long time ago, so their stormtroop formation can be described as swaggering.

At this time, the Russian army even attacked in a neat square as it did in the last century when it fought with Napoleon, but in fact. Because the Russian army used too many shrapnel shells, the damage to the fortifications was extremely limited, and because most of the Northeast Army was hidden in underground tunnels, the shelling did not cause them much loss at all.

Although in the intensive shelling a few days ago, in the violent shock, all the officers and men of the Northeast who were in the shelter were beaten and turned their heads, but they were all still alive, not only alive, but also with a fire in their hearts waiting to be vented.

"Sortie ......"

"Quick, quick, get ahead of Lao Maozi......"

Dunson waved the riverside pistol in his hand and shouted at the soldiers, although the cannon rumbled in the air, the cannon fire did no harm to them, although they were disgraced, but the expression of each soldier was extremely excited, after all, their temper had been suppressed for the past few days, and their anger.

After they loaded their rifles, they peeked through the deformed trench, and everyone was stunned by the scene before them—white lines stretched through the grass on the withered yellow grass, and the Russian soldiers looked like ...... It's like cotton in a cotton field, and it's particularly eye-catching in a withered yellow.

"My God......"

Looking at the white lines, Deng Sen swallowed a little nervously, not because of fear, but because of ...... The battle is coming, and this won't even be another battle!

At this time, these soldiers of the Russian army in white military uniforms are getting closer and closer. They lined up in a long horizontal line, walking towards the front, their steps seemed a little slow, even heavy, without a trace of lightness, their formation was sometimes affected by the craters, and the seemingly neat white lines were finally scattered.

"Stay in formation!"

With his rifle in hand, Captain Mirinovich kept shouting orders, looking at the surrounding lines, he seemed somewhat satisfied, at least his troops had not been in much confusion.

"Maintain Formation ......"

At the sound of orders from officers and non-commissioned officers, the column was more and more organized, if it was in Napoleonic times. Perhaps Napoleon would have praised the formation of the Russian army, which was not inferior even to its predecessors a hundred years earlier, but they had apparently forgotten that the war had changed radically.

But the Russians were not fast, one might even say slow, as their predecessors had been a hundred years ago, and now they were waiting for the final order, and as soon as that order was given, the uniform column would become a wave, a wave that had shaken the whole of Europe, a wave that had crushed Napoleon and the revolutions that had taken place in Europe!

But before the wave began, these Russian soldiers, whom the Western Europeans contemptuously called "cattle", were still loyally led by the officers, and carried out attacks in several waves, each wave of soldiers almost lined up side by side in a neat line, diagonally holding rifles, and slowly advancing towards the Chinese positions.

In the first few hundred meters, they did not even suffer any attack, and even the dense artillery rain that they had to endure during the attack in the past was no trace at this time, as they had imagined before - the Chinese had been shot out, the Chinese had long been blown up into the sky by the dense shells, and they now only needed to clean up the battlefield at most!

But what they didn't know was that when they were approaching the Northeast Army position, the soldiers who had come out of the bunker were carrying machine guns and mortars into the position, and now, the reason why they did not attack was because their weapons were in the bunker.

"Hoo ......"

Every time he carried the machine gun mount, Zhang Pengfei would keep cursing the damn machine gun mount in his heart, and it was never an easy job to carry the 15-kilogram gun mount into the machine gun firing position, but he knew that once the shooting started, it would present another situation, in continuous shooting, because of this rock-solid gun mount, the gun body would hardly have any vibration, and the soft leather bowl behind the optical telescope would not repeatedly hit the shooter's eyes and bounce open, in fact, There is almost no recoil that affects the shooter's ability to see the target in the telescope. Because of this, although the barrel of the light and heavy machine guns is almost identical, in terms of combat effectiveness, the heavy machine guns are several times more than the light machine guns.

"Hurry up! Machine gun mounts! ”

Under the supervision of the leader of the machine gun group, Zhang Pengfei finally carried the machine gun mount into the firing position, and like all machine gun firing positions, although his firing position was nearly 200 meters away from the first-line trench, it also formed a longitudinal fire on the front, and constituted a perfect crossfire with other machine gun firing positions. In the middle of these crossfires, there are also light machine guns to supplement its blind spots, so to speak, thousands of light and heavy machine guns, forming a perfect "slaughterhouse".

"Da!"

Almost as soon as the machine gun is ready, the ammunition man opens the box and pulls out a hundred rounds of drums, which is the biggest difference between heavy machine guns and light machine guns, although heavy machine guns also have 50 rounds of magazines, but they often use 100 rounds of drums in the position, and only a few times they will use magazines, compared to the Makqin machine gun that uses the cartridge chain, the structure of the Shen machine gun using the drum and the magazine is simpler, and the manufacturing cost is also lower, which is one of the reasons why the Northeast Army can be equipped with a large number of machine guns.

"Kada ......"

The bolt is pulled, and the empty chamber is ready to fire!

Just as Zhang Pengfei was loading his machine gun, the artillery observers of the Northeast Army in the observation post had already begun to mark the location of the Russian military team on the map, and at the same time informed the artillery company in the rear by telephone that in the past few days, the artillery of the Northeast Army had already conducted many test firings at their forward positions, and although they could not talk about mastering every grass and tree in front of the position, they could be regarded as basically mastering, and they only needed to fire violently and accurately according to the coordinates, and there was no need to worry about the artillery bombardment falling short.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Breathing in the air mixed with the thick smell of gunpowder smoke and feeling the increasingly silent battlefield, Captain Mirinovich felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and for some reason, he suddenly realized that perhaps, this silence was the calm before death......

Getting closer, getting closer, when he and the other soldiers could look at the destroyed or intact but very messy barbed wire fences at the front of the Chinese army's position, he saw steel helmets emerging from behind the Chinese trenches, which were the unique "steel caps" of the Chinese, and under the steel helmets were Chinese soldiers with rifles in their hands.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rose in this seemingly peaceful world......
