"There are Russians in the back!"

The Russian artillery bombardment stopped, the night wind dispersed the smoke, and by the moonlight, when the groups of Kokand soldiers were scurrying with bullets, many people clearly saw the rows of Russian troops following behind the Kokand soldiers.

The Russian soldiers wearing high caps were densely packed and covered almost the entire battlefield! Rows of rifles with bayonets strode forward, and every Russian soldier shouted slogans. "Ulla! Ulla! The roar resounded across the battlefield.

Wang Guosheng looked at the qi in front of him dumbfounded: "God, is Lao Maozi stupid?" Hit the muzzle of the gun? "No one knows better about the fortifications and defenses of the old city of Kashgar than these middle- and upper-ranking officers. The Russians are sending them to death!

"It's a pity not to eat the meat buns that are delivered to your mouth. Tell me brothers, don't let me go tonight! ”

Wang Guosheng had no fear on his face, only endless joy. On one side, people quickly reported the artillery units behind them, and on the other side, they shouted loudly from the position.

The gunfire intensified! The Russian army was still three hundred meters away, but no one dared to think of putting them closer. Now everyone is thinking about one thing - to shoot Lao Maozi as best they can.

Huge casualties were also very soon incurred, and the Russians were so dense that the gap between the human walls was less than a meter. When the bullets flew past and did not miss, the wall was constantly splashed with blood, and the screams were grounded. However, the Russian army is still charging, except for some Russian stragglers who are responsible for covering and returning fire from time to time, all the Russian soldiers are charging with their heads covered, and no one stops!

All kinds of gunshots, shouts, and screams were mixed together, like a mountain and a tsunami. But the Russian army is always advancing! Lao Maozi is the top. The man in front fell. The men behind continued to rush forward, and soon rushed through the trench used to defend the cavalry a hundred meters before the position, and entered less than fifty paces from the position of the expeditionary army.

"Splitting the mountain cannon preparation—"

"Mortar fire—"

Such shouts rang out from the positions of the expeditionary army. Blossom shells crossed from the back of the position to the front of the position, and the screams of the Kokand soldiers and the Russian soldiers were drowned out in the explosion of the shells.

And the mountain-splitting cannon cast by the craftsmen in Xinjiang on the spot, a small model of a water. It's full of shotguns. The effective killing distance is 50 meters, and it is not yet time to open fire.

"Grenade ready!"

This weapon can be said to be an extremely important means in the positional warfare of the expeditionary army. The lethality and deterrence are no less than those of a rifle. Like the pistol team, it is Liu Xian's magic weapon to defeat the enemy!

After 50 flowering shells, 2,300 grenades, and eight mountain splitting guns, totaling thousands of pieces of broken iron and large grains of iron sand, all concentrated in a small section of 30 to 50 meters, the Russians knelt down. Completely kneeling.

The Russian troops of the two companies in the front and rear and hundreds of Kokand soldiers with good luck and bad luck lay on the ground almost at the same time.

The expeditionary army in southern Xinjiang had artillery, and the thirty artillery pieces captured in the hands of Agubo had already been placed in the Kashgar position. They had been silent before, but that didn't mean they had to be silent forever. This time, they joined forces with the mortar troops in the position of the Wang Guosheng brigade. A precise salvo sent more than fifty large and small flowering shells into the ranks of the Russian charge.

How long have the positions outside the old city of Kashgar been fortified? The firing of all sections of the Yuan, the artillery positions have long been familiar with the heart.

Add to that the shooting of rifles and the explosion of grenades, the spray of mountain splitting cannons, and the Russians should kneel even if they are gods. They're flesh and blood, too.

It's just that the hundreds of soldiers of the Kokand Army are pitiful, they are lucky not to be killed by the previous mortar shells and bullets, and some are unlucky not to escape the bayonets of the Russian army on the way to the charge. In the end, he fell on the soil of Xinjiang along with the Russian troops of two companies behind him.

Wang Guosheng here, except for a small number of skirmishers or snipers who are still firing on the entire front, everyone else is throwing bombs. This kind of grenade is at the same technical level as that made in the border area, and the gunpowder bureau here in southern Xinjiang has made a lot of them. Because the technology content is relatively low? in the position. Each fighter had at least thirty grenades on his body, at his feet, and at his hands. Relying on them, even Wang Guosheng's entire brigade is holding big swords and spears, and they can still kill the Russian army with a heavy hemorrhage.

The explosion immediately rang out in front of the defenders. The stormtroopers of the Russian army and the Kokand soldiers were suddenly hit hard. The soldiers fell down screaming.

The blood mist was no longer splashing up in clusters, but was spreading out as if gushing out. Wang Guosheng himself only saw that as bursts of explosions and fires rose, those Russian soldiers in gray uniforms fell indiscriminately like the Kokand soldiers, and their eyes were full of death and death.

Fragments of flesh and blood shredded by the explosion flew in all directions, and a large amount of blood poured out like a spurt, staining the battlefield into a sea of blood!

The Russians are very durable. But no matter how durable the man. At this time, I also shrank.

Six Russian companies went to the second, and the four Russian companies behind them saw what happened to their comrades in front. The reflexes all stopped.

They were hesitating whether to continue the charge. People are very precious to their lives. No one will voluntarily go to death when there is still a way to live.

However, time does not wait for them to make a decision and then start anew.

Soon flowering shells and bullets fell on them. Four companies of Russian soldiers left behind dozens of corpses and wounded before turning their heads and fleeing to the rear. Wang Guosheng smiled. But he did not choose to send troops in pursuit. Someone else is chasing!

On the southern Xinjiang side, the powerful cavalry units of the expeditionary army, like an irresistible torrent, rolled up five or six hundred Russian troops and smashed into Velevkin's position not far from the battlefield...... And then it was over as soon as it was qiē.

The threat of the Russian army to southern Xinjiang is gone.

Although the whole army was not destroyed, the 2,000 Kokand soldiers lost 1,45, the more than 3,000 Russian troops became 2,000, and all the artillery fell into the hands of the expeditionary army. If it weren't for the fact that the Russian soldiers were really well-trained, the impact speed of the cavalry in the dark would inevitably slow down a lot, and it was not impossible that the cavalry of the Qin army of the three brigades plus the hussar battalion horse team would really drown the Russian army and the Kokand soldiers.

Beijing, Russian Legation.

A legation clerk with a telegram that had just been sent to Beijing from Tianjin rang Yevgeny. Karlovich. The door to Bützer's office.

"Please come in." Bützer's relaxed voice came from inside the room.

"Your Excellency, we're in trouble...... the clerk looked heavy. (To be continued) R655
