Early in the morning of October 27, 1908, in the eastern, southern, and northern directions outside Chelyabinsk, the gunfire that had been sounding all night suddenly stopped, and the allied forces of the Allies and the Central Powers paid an unusually heavy price for this night's counterattack, but unfortunately the original first fortification group of the Allied forces in the three directions was still firmly occupied by the troops of the Chinese Empire.

The commanders of the coalition command saw that the sky had become brighter, and knew that it would not be long before the fighters of the Chinese Imperial Air Force would become flies hovering over their heads again, so they reluctantly ordered the attacking troops to stop the attack.

At this time, the front of the first fortification complex on the east side of Chelyabinsk and the entire fortification complex were covered with dense corpses, covering the ground tightly, and according to the color and style of the military uniforms worn by the corpses, it can be seen that most of them were officers and soldiers of the Entente and the Central Powers, if you look at it from the sky, it looks like a giant carpet of corpses, and there are hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles wreckage, dotted on the giant carpet of corpses.

Some officers and soldiers of the Chinese Empire were searching for the officers and soldiers of both the enemy and the enemy who were still alive among the dense corpses, and the wounded and undead of the Chinese Empire or the allied forces were constantly found to be carried to the rear on stretchers for medical treatment.

Although the two sides are still in the period of war, basic humanitarianism still needs to be observed, so the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire has treated the wounded officers and soldiers of both sides who have been found without discrimination, and the minimum demeanor is still there.

After a night of fierce fighting, the body of the entire tank has changed, adding many craters, which shows how fierce the battle was last night, but fortunately, the No. 1088 Panther heavy tank was hit by so many shells, and not a single shell caused fatal damage to the No. 1088 Panther heavy tank. Otherwise, the four people in the car crew would not be so lively now.

This night's fierce battle, for the four people of the No. 1088 Black Panther heavy tank crew, it can be said that they almost danced on a suspended tightrope, and several times they brushed shoulders with death.

The most overhanging, the side armor of the No. 1088 Panther heavy tank was hit by an 88mm tank shell of a German heavy tank, making the four people in the tank think that they were going to see Lord Yama this time. But I didn't expect that this 88-mm shell of the German heavy tank was not an armor-piercing shell, but a grenade, and I don't know if the gunner in the German heavy tank loaded the wrong shell in a hurry, or if the armor-piercing shell of the German heavy tank had been exhausted in the battle, anyway, the 4 people of the 1088 Panther heavy tank crew escaped by luck.

The German heavy tank that fired was then blown into a pile of wreckage by a 105-mm armor-piercing shell from the No. 1088 Panther heavy tank.

At this time, the battle was over, and the 1088 Panther heavy tank was ordered to retreat backwards and retreat to the open space behind the first fortification group to the east for rest. Hundreds of Panther and Black Wolf light tanks, as well as some armored vehicles, have been gathered here.

The four people of the crew climbed out of the tank tiredly, took the food handed over by the logistics staff and devoured it, and after a night of fierce fighting, the four people were hungry enough.

After the four people eliminated this rich breakfast, the tank gunner Chen Hui sighed and said: "When we met the German heavy tank last night, it was really hanging, and we almost went to see Lord Yama, if that shell was an armor-piercing shell." We don't have to eat here. ”

The driver, Hu Dun, burped and said: "It's really too dangerous, and the armor-piercing shells of that German heavy tank may not be able to hit." If the coalition tanks can replenish our positions with ammunition, a few of us will be doomed! ”

After a whole night of fighting, the consumption of ammunition can be very large, and the tanks of the Imperial Chinese Army on the position can be from the armored vehicles belonging to the logistics department. Ammunition can be replenished quickly, and even fuel can be replenished. The coalition tanks that rushed to the position could only use the ammunition they carried, and if they ran out of ammunition, they could only turn into an iron shell. To make matters worse, the coalition tank ran out of fuel and became an iron coffin that could not move.

Commander Sun Ming asked Chen Hui, "Old Chen, what was our record last night?" ”

Chen Hui immediately replied: "Sir, we have destroyed a total of 7 heavy tanks and 9 light tanks, and 5 armored vehicles have also been destroyed by us. ”

Sun Ming nodded and said: "I'll report the results of our team in a while, everyone will check the tanks first, the ammunition and fuel will be filled, and then rest, maybe when we will continue to fight again!" ”

In the headquarters of the Allied and Allied forces in Chelyabinsk, the faces of the army commanders of the seven countries early in the morning were much more ugly than last night.

After a whole night of attacking, the coalition forces could not be said to have tried their best, almost regardless of casualties, but the result made these coalition commanders extremely disappointed, and even some commanders were a little desperate in their hearts.

German Army General and Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces, Temmy Schneider, said with a wry smile to the commanders of the other six countries: "According to preliminary statistics, in the attack last night, our German Army lost about 50,000 people, the French Army lost about 60,000, the Russian Army lost almost 80,000, the British Army lost no less than 20,000, plus the Italian Army, the Austro-Hungarian Army and the Ottoman Turkish Imperial Army 20,000, and the 230,000 elite troops of the Entente and the Central Powers were gone all night. ”

After a pause, Tymy Schneider then said in a deep voice: "What is more striking to our coalition forces in Chelyabinsk is that last night our armored forces lost more than one-third of their strength, and all countries lost a total of 420 light tanks, 260 heavy tanks and 530 armored vehicles, and some large-caliber shells in the last reserve were also consumed more than half, let's talk about it, what should we do in the future?" ”

As soon as Tammy Schneider's words fell, the commander of the Italian army, Hannaverd, immediately said: "Generals, the situation in the city of Chelyabinsk is now very critical, we have not only lost air superiority here in Chelyabinsk, but even the shells of large-caliber artillery have been exhausted, and now we have lost 450,000 troops in one day and one night. We are almost about to reach one-fifth of our forces in Chelyabinsk, and I think that we have lost the possibility of holding out here in Chelyabinsk, so it is better to take advantage of the fact that the troops of the Chinese Empire have not completely surrounded the city of Chelyabinsk, and the combined forces of our Allies and Allies should withdraw from Chelyabinsk. ”

Hannawade was a little frightened by the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Chinese Army, which was also too fierce, the Entente and the Central Powers of the 7 European powers combined. It was still pressed and beaten, and if the Chinese Empire concentrated more troops, it would not be said anything, but now outside the city of Chelyabinsk, the strength of the Chinese Imperial Army is much smaller than that of the coalition army.

"Evacuate? How to evacuate? We still have more than 2 million troops from the Entente and the Central Powers left in Chelyabinsk, and you must know that it took us more than a month to reach Chelyabinsk by rail, and now the railway line has been broken, that is, the railway remains open. How many troops can we evacuate at one time! French Army General Joyles immediately retorted.

Russian Army General Sonokokossky also said: "The city of Chelyabinsk must not be evacuated, in that case, the entire area east of the Ural Mountains will be surrendered to the Chinese Empire, and the army of the Chinese Empire will cross the Ural Mountains into our Europe, if General Hannaved is afraid of the Chinese Empire, he can lead the Italian army to withdraw alone, and our Russian Imperial army will definitely not retreat half a step back in the city of Chelyabinsk!" ”

British Army General Jersunsk also said: "We, the Entente and the Central Powers, have gathered such a powerful force here, if we just evacuate the city of Chelyabinsk." The impact on the morale of our coalition forces will be huge. Although we are in a difficult situation, we still have strong fortifications in Chelyabinsk, reinforcements and various war materials from various countries are still being delivered to Chelyabinsk by road, and the bombed-up railway line is also being repaired. ”

The commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army, Gloria, and the commander of the Ottoman Imperial Turkish Army, Bajirja, looked at each other and did not say anything. The two of them were not willing to flee in Chelyabinsk like this, after all, the combined strength of the Entente and the Central Powers was so strong, although the situation in Chelyabinsk City was difficult after all, but they could not just retreat, that would also hurt the self-esteem of the Entente and the Allies!

So while they 2 countries and Italy are allies of the Central Powers. But there was no word of solidarity with Hannawade at this time.

As soon as the commander of the Italian army, Hannaverde, revealed his proposal that he wanted the coalition forces to withdraw from the city of Chelyabinsk, he was strongly opposed by the entire Entente powers, making his expression a little embarrassed

, he immediately set his sights on the Germans, the boss of the Central Powers, hoping to get the support of the boss.

However, the German army general and the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Timmy Schneider, did not want to admit defeat in Chelyabinsk like this, so he could not give an explanation to the German Emperor Wilhelm II at all, so he said: "Let the troops of the second fortification group in the east, south and north directions outside the city hold their positions, if there is no accident during the day, the army of the Chinese Empire will continue to attack our position, and the command will give them support at any time, and the second fortification group in these three directions must be held at all costs, Our coalition forces still have more than 2 million troops in Chelyabinsk, and I believe that as long as our Entente and Central Powers are united, we will be able to hold on to Chelyabinsk. ”

The commander of the Italian Army, Hannaverde, opened his mouth and didn't say anything more, since the boss didn't agree to evacuate from here, and the other 2 allies didn't speak, it was pointless for him to say anything, and he couldn't just evacuate with the Italian Army, so Italy wouldn't let him go.

The commanders of the Allied and Allied forces discussed for a long time, and in the end they could only hold on-hold-hold on, and there was no other good way.

At the front headquarters of the Imperial Chinese Army, dozens of kilometers east of Chelyabinsk City, Ni Fan, the commander-in-chief and commander of the Third Guards Army, said with a smile: "The allied forces of the Entente and the Allies in Chelyabinsk City have been fighting for a night, and the first fortification group in the three directions outside the city is still in our hands, it seems that the commanders of the coalition forces should be depressed!" ”

Deng Zichao, the commander of the Third Field Army, sighed and said: "But our losses are not small day and night, our Third Field Army has only killed 12,000 people, and thousands of people have been injured, and the loss of equipment is not small, our Third Field Army's Black Panther heavy tanks are only 60 in total, and now we have lost 21, and the Black Wolf light tanks have a total of 120, and now we have also lost 54 vehicles." ”

Since yesterday daytime, there have been only three corps of the Imperial Chinese Army that attacked the first fortification group in three directions on the periphery of Chelyabinsk and held it, namely the east of the Fourth Guards, the south of the Third Field Army, and the north of the Fourth Field Army.

Yu Lichen, commander of the Ninth Field Army, said at this time: "The troops of the Third Guards, the Third Field Army, and the Fourth Field Army have been fighting for a day and a night. ”

Duan Qirui, commander of the 10th Field Army, Li Kai, commander of the 11th Field Army, and Qu Chengyi, commander of the 12th Field Army, immediately nodded in agreement.

Hu Desheng, the commander of the Fourth Field Army, said with a smile: "I see that Lao Yu is in a hurry when you see that you don't have the share of your Fourth Field Army in the war!" ”

Deng Zichao, commander of the Third Field Army, also said with a smile: "I just said that the losses were not small, but I didn't say that our Third Field Army could not continue to attack. ”

Duan Qirui, the commander of the 10th Field Army, said jokingly: "Lao Deng, Lao Hu, you can't eat meat by yourself, and you don't even leave a mouthful of soup for other people, but in addition to artillery, other troops in our army are waiting to go to the battlefield!" ”

As soon as Duan Qirui's words were finished, several army commanders in the command headquarters laughed, and then Ni Fan said with a smile: "I think I can let the Third Guards Army, the Third Field Army and the Fourth Field Army take a break, this day and night battle, the officers and soldiers of the three armies are already very tired, and it is time for other troops to take over."
