There were more than 7,000 men in Vilneburg, and except for a few hundred who were left to defend the fort, including Verevkin, they rushed out to fight the NLD army, bringing all the artillery with them.

After receiving the news of the dispatch of the Russian troops in the fort, the brigade commander immediately made a decision and launched an active attack, although the casualties of the active attack will definitely be greater than the casualties of the blockade, but once the twenty or thirty artillery pieces in the castle join the battle, it will bring a great threat to the whole army.

"Brothers, with Lao Tzu, you must not let him out to stir up trouble!" With a wave of his hand, the brigade commander led more than 2,000 soldiers of the brigade to abandon their positions and touch the Verneburg.

Although the Democratic Alliance Army was divided into pieces by brigade, the Russian army lacked the necessary means to attack the fortifications, and the superior strength of the troops could not break through the defense line of any brigade, but left corpses everywhere.

Unconsciously, the time came to the afternoon, and after several hours of high-intensity fighting, the physical exertion of soldiers on both sides was very large, especially the Russian army, which had rushed dozens of kilometers since three o'clock last night, and then immediately plunged into the battle, and had not had a good rest until now, and was physically and mentally exhausted to the limit.

Vyazelsky saw clearly, someone was running, suddenly his foot slipped, he fell and could not get up again, and he learned that more than 50 artillery pieces on his side have been destroyed and 4 have been blown up so far, while on the Chinese army's side, shells are still methodically entering his own formation, which makes his heart more and more anxious.

"Your Excellency General, the soldiers can't bear it, you should not retreat first." A staff officer couldn't help but say.

"Nonsense!" Vyazelsky's face suddenly sank: "It's up to this." You told me to retreat? After retreating, how can we still be able to organize the next attack? Don't look at our boys are very hard, but the Chinese work harder than us. Because they come from temperate zones, the cold weather limits their combat effectiveness. And our great Russians, born for ice and snow, persever, hold on for a while, now the competition is perseverance, and the willpower of our Russians is unparalleled in the world! ”

The people around him didn't dare to persuade anymore, but they all wrote anxiety on their faces.

"Huh? The snow has become lighter. I don't know which one it was, but suddenly I screamed.

Sure enough, there were snowflakes flying all over the sky just now. Unexpectedly, it became much more sparse, and the sky and earth also opened up brightly, and the visibility of the original three or four hundred meters suddenly skyrocketed to two to three kilometers, and many unclear details were presented in front of me one by one.

Vyazelsky hurriedly put on his binoculars, and the battlefield was chaotic, with lying corpses everywhere, some covered with snow. Some of them were surrounded by shallow dark red pits of different sizes, and the arrangement of the Chinese troops could also be clearly seen, and patches of grass-green positions were scattered between the corpses and the soldiers who were still charging, and the flames flashed. The cannon roared, and from time to time black dots rose into the air, and then fell to the ground and exploded. It gives people the appearance of having a lot of spare energy.

Vyazzesky's face was ugly, and he moved his telescope in the direction of Vilneburg. On the plain in front of the fort, the battle was fierce. Unlike elsewhere, here more than 2,000 Chinese troops are launching the main attack, and although the Russians are more numerous, they are pressed and beaten, and the battlefield is littered with the wreckage of the bombed artillery and the corpses scattered all over the place, only a few of which are still spewing flames.

Not only Vyazelski understood the situation on the battlefield, but others also saw it clearly, and when they saw that their companions were constantly being strangled, while the Chinese army was still in full formation, they couldn't help but feel a deep despair in their hearts.

From morning to afternoon, you hit such a thing? The spiritual power that supported it collapsed.

Hunger and fatigue hit together, some of the guns were unstable, some of them could not be inserted into the barrel of the gun several times, some of them were flickering, some were obviously cowering, the offensive formation also had a tendency to collapse, and even some people fell to the ground automatically!

"Your Excellency General, let's retreat first, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they need enough rest to continue fighting."

"Yes, Your Excellency General, those lowly races in Central Asia are almost dead, and the current soldiers are mostly Russians, and we can't take Russian lads to die for nothing."

The gossip persuasion came, and everyone asked to withdraw from the army, if they couldn't see it, forget it, but the cruel facts in front of them told them that not only did they work all day in vain, but also paid a terrible price.

"Why is this damn snow stopping? Go down, go on! Vyazelsky roared hysterically as if he hadn't heard it, and the object of his roar was that the snow had stopped.

Many people looked at Vyazelsky with a deep dissatisfaction, in their eyes, this is evasion, not admitting mistakes.

A major general named Khadenov finally couldn't help but say: "It took us almost a day and we didn't achieve anything, we need to figure out what happened, is it the low combat effectiveness of our Russian army?" Perhaps, we have lost so many people, and the Chinese army has far fewer soldiers killed than us, at least their formation is still intact.

However, the criterion for judging the victory or defeat of the war has never had anything to do with the severity of the casualties, but whether the predetermined goal was achieved, and the poor individual ability of Russian soldiers is a well-known fact, but the Russian army has the advantages of bearing hardships and standing hard work, and the will is tenacious, and the Russian army as a whole has built a large empire across Europe and Asia with rudimentary weapons for hundreds of years, and has defeated Napoleon, who was in the limelight, and is a powerful military force in Europe.

Attacking 50,000 Chinese troops with 200,000 Russian troops is still an encounter, and both sides don't have much time to play intrigues and tricks, but why did they fight like this, the weapons of the Chinese army are more advanced than ours is one thing, but it is by no means the main factor, I think the fundamental problem is that it is Your Excellency the General who is in a hurry to make progress, regardless of the fatigue of the soldiers, regardless of the unknown situation, and rashly launched an attack.

And after the failure of the first attack, instead of summing up the lessons, a second attack was launched in a manner similar to the tactics of adding fuel, and the result was heavy casualties, most of the artillery was destroyed, and we have lost the ability to launch a third attack, which means that the rescue of Vilneburg will become out of reach, Your Excellency General, you should think about how to explain to the Governor. ”

Vyazevsky suddenly said angrily: "Major General Hadenov, pay attention to your tone, this is your attitude towards your superiors?" ”

Vyazevsky deliberately highlighted the rank of major general, meaning to make Khadenov understand his identity.

But Khadenov disagreed: "It is the responsibility of the subordinates to point out the mistakes of the superiors, and now our army is in a very dangerous situation and will face a counteroffensive by the Chinese army at any time, I suggest that you should focus on solving the problem instead of losing your temper inexplicably."
