The rumbling sound of artillery is the strongest backing of the troops. On the fifth day of the war, the Russian army no longer had any positions. They did not even have time to arrange their positions after retreating, so Yazov could only take advantage of the front to open at the point of resistance and send troops to the rear to organize a defense according to the terrain. The Russian army relied on its outnumbered numbers and Yazov's very good organizational skills, so it resisted step by step.

The Wehrmacht, for its part, has been on the offensive. And because it is to fight more with less, everything is put on the bright side, and there is not much room for Liu Xian to mix. Because the range of artillery is really limited!

At present, the artillery fire is still a hard artillery mount, and if the artillery positions are not properly arranged, the efficiency of the artillery will be seriously affected. The placement of artillery positions was seriously time-consuming. Yazov took a trick and held the battle until the fifth day in this icy and snowy place. It's really rare!

Of course, the most rare thing for Yazov is that while he is working hard to support the war, he can also send out 10,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry to stay in the rear of the battle line and stay still. Obviously, Yazov also wants to let this part of the people take advantage of these few days to rest with all their might. didn't understand that this group of people had long been under Liu Xian's surveillance. When this Russian army came from the north to the south at the most dangerous moment, they had unknowingly stepped into a huge ambush circle.

On an artillery position completely covered with a white tarpaulin, when the phone rang, everything began to move. In just five minutes, the tarpaulin was retracted, the ammunition box was opened, the shells were moved out, and the muzzle of the gun was adjusted to shoot Zhu Yuan. A middle-aged general with the rank of major general waved his hand and shouted: "Fire!" ”

The powerful firepower of 56 cannons suddenly let out a roar, and the shells fired at the elements according to the precise calibration. accurately landed in the ranks of the Russian army's marching army, bursting with deadly sparks. Meantime. There was also an earth-shattering noise in the sequence of the Russian army, which was a mine under the pre-wheat color. In a short period of time, I don't know how many people turned into powder in a series of explosions.

After just ten minutes of shelling. The cavalry in ambush swept away like a torrent. Mortar, heavy machine gun and horse gun bullets rained down on the panicked crowd of Russian troops, and grenades continued to explode.

The distance between these ambushes and ambushes is really close, and the front line is less than 200 meters away from the march of the Russian army. The Wehrmacht artillery could have dropped shells on their heads if they were not careful. So when the horses of these cavalry changed from lying down mode to standing, they really didn't leave any time for the Russian army to react after they launched an attack.

Heavy machine guns and mortars were set up at a distance of 300 to 500 meters, all on high ground, and the firing surface was wide.

The sudden attack inflicted heavy casualties on the Russian troops, and in the midst of ten minutes of shelling and a series of mines, the entire team was scattered, and two or three thousand infantry were damaged. Because they are densely packed. By the time the 5,000 Wehrmacht cavalry roared in, the whole team was powerless.

Perhaps there are Russian officers who can calmly observe the situation on the battlefield. But there were dense gunshots everywhere, and the shells were like eyes, and they fell on the terrain that the Russian army could rely on, causing them a large number of casualties. This is clearly where the Wehrmacht is aiming, and all the terrain is in the palm of someone's hand. The Russian officers and soldiers who were forced to lie down are not lying down, nor are they lying down.

With the cooperation of cavalry and absolutely superior artillery, on a completely flat snowy field, the fate of the Russian army waiting for the salvation of Yazov-lai was only lost.

The shouts of killing rose higher and higher. It was a desperate Russian army resisting with all its might, trying to resist the sweep of the cavalry units in the form of a white-knuckle battle. But where is it so easy? The sound of Makqin heavy machine gun fire and the columns of smoke from explosions rising from time to time made it impossible for the Russian army to organize a dense crowd at all. The scattered infantry faced a large group of cavalry, except to die. Only death!

"God forbid, damned Orientals, they will all go to hell-" Evdokimov, the lieutenant colonel of the Cossack cavalry regiment, followed in the footsteps of the countless soldiers under his command. The horse was killed by a shell and wounded himself. For him, who is always in the front row. People are lucky not to die on the spot. But Yevdokimov was still full of chagrin.

He didn't know if the cavalry unit would be able to maintain its fighting spirit without his own leadership. Because that never happened. The Cossacks were brave, fierce and afraid of death! When the casualties are too high, they tend to lose their fighting spirit. But it is impossible for the cavalry troops in the shock to restrain their galloping horses because of the fall of one man.

"Oh, it hurts me, despicable Oriental." Yevdokimov's arm was not broken, his right leg was fine, but his left leg was not so lucky, he felt the pain of murder, and he was crushed under the corpse of a war horse, and he must have been broken.

"Lieutenant Colonel, we need to get out of here quickly." After all, the regimental commander was different from others, after Yevdokimov was bombed, a small group of cavalry still dispersed out, reined in the war horse and ran back to Yevdokimov. These Cossack soldiers quickly rummaged for the lightly wounded. The leading second lieutenant quickly ran up to Yevdokimov and said with a nervous expression.

The shells kept falling on the battlefield, and Yevdokimov nodded deeply, he really needed to get out of here quickly, if he didn't want to die yet. "Ensign, help me—" If you want to leave, you must first remove the carcass of the warhorse.

The situation on the battlefield has also changed dramatically in the short time between Yevdokimov being injured and being rescued. The Cossack cavalry was scattered. They charged valiantly, fearlessly charging forward even with four heavy machine guns in front of them. But the result was tragic. In particular, the artillery diverted attention.

With the collapse of the Cossack cavalry, this Russian army, which was used as a hole card by Yazov, was also completely finished. The battle lasted just over an hour, and only a thousand of the 13,000 Russian infantry ran away from a thousand frightened Cossacks, and the rest were either dead or captured. But when the news reached the precarious main forces of the Russian army, Yazov completely lost his fighting spirit.

He had hoped that the thirteen,000-foot cavalry would withstand the onslaught of the Wehrmacht, and the battle would be over. Although he suffered an ugly defeat, the army did not break up in the end, and it also gave the Wehrmacht a lot of killing, and there was still something to say about St. Petersburg. Now, it's all over!

The wrinkles on Yazov's forehead were deeply gathered, and the eyes of his bloodless face were sunken, but his face had a cold, emotionless expression. He no longer knew what sorrow was, because he was not qualified to grieve in the face of so many Russian lives. "Let Doroshenko hold on to the line. Hold it for at least three hours. Then he can choose to surrender. ”

"Then send an order to Razin and Zaporos, as well as to Generals Shelujak and Yeremayev, ordering them to abandon all wounded soldiers, quickly withdraw their troops, and withdraw to Kutumov."

Yazov calculated how many troops these four major generals and lieutenant generals could have, plus the reserve troops under his direct control, could there be 40,000 people? The withdrawal of troops to Kutumov was to wait for reinforcements. Just hope that God will bless you and keep yourself going until reinforcements arrive.

Yazov knew the consequences of doing so, and the mere discarding of the wounded would make him lose all his reputation and leave the army completely. It can even affect the future of his family and children and grandchildren. But at this time he couldn't think about it.

"Cold-blooded Tchelt", "the most incompetent Russian general in history", "traitor to Russia"...... All kinds of names will be poured into him in the future. But now he really just wants to do everything he can to save the day.

After all, discarding the wounded is more difficult for a cavalry general who has been in the army for decades than asking for his life. But Yazov's heart was being eaten by a poisonous snake, and he had to make such a decision. He only hoped that the Chinese would be merciful and that his unfortunate soldiers could be treated a little better.

"May God bless them!" One last glance at the battlefield, Yazov hit his horse and ran towards Kutumov.

The Wehrmacht did not allow Lieutenant General Doroshenko to hold out for more than three hours, and in only two hours, the Russian army was completely defeated. Liu Xian left the infantry to capture prisoners and guard prisoners of war, and ordered the cavalry troops, which now had only more than 4,000 points of combat strength, to pursue Kutumov, and he followed with the main force of infantry with a total strength of less than 20,000 men.

That same evening. Liu sent an infantry major general captured in Rothdar to meet Yazov with Doroshenko. Liu Xian demanded that they surrender unconditionally. Otherwise, what awaits them is complete annihilation!

Yazov's face was gray and terrifying, but his eyes were bright and terrifying. Yazov's estimate of 40,000 Russian troops did not withdraw to Kutumov, but Kutumov also had 30,000 men. The Wehrmacht only chased it outside and did not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Kutumov, so the Russian army gained peace here for half a day.

Among the more than 30,000 Russian troops, there are more than 10 brigadier generals and generals, although only the two infantry major generals Razin and Zaporos are directly led by the troops, and there are also two infantry lieutenant generals, Shelujak and Yeremeyev. However, these people generally have a lot of opinions about Yazov's practice of abandoning wounded soldiers and rearguard troops on the battlefield. It's just that a couple of generals who held the army listened to Yazov.

Because this battle is not good after all. With Yazov on top and taking responsibility, the pressure on them is much lighter. I won't come out on my own at this juncture.

At the same time, no one knows what Yazov thinks in his heart. Anyway, the war was fought as it is now, and Yazov also made the decision to abandon the wounded, and he has completely fallen into the abyss. You must know that on the way to Kutumov, many people have already sent people to the nearest city as fast as possible, so that they can report everything to St. Petersburg by telegram.
