On the morning of the 27th of the month, after a night's rest, the soldiers of the Second Army got up in good spirits. The soldiers of the cooking squad had already prepared a fragrant breakfast, including steamed buns, millet porridge, canned beef and canned fruit, and so on. During the war, soldiers need to maintain a good body, so in terms of food, they are mainly used to replenish energy.

In yesterday afternoon's battle, the Second Army successfully wiped out most of Shuangchengzi's troops, and also destroyed all the seven strong fortresses on which the Russian army in Shuangchengzi depended. This made the Russian army in Shuangchengzi lose its last standing. Although there is a street fight today, no one from the generals to the ordinary soldiers is afraid. The three divisions of the Second Army's main attack had already surrounded Shuangchengzi.

"Chief of Staff, what time is the time for the attack?" Major General Xie Dingkun, commander of the Second Group Army, was holding a large bun in one hand and a bowl of porridge in the other.

"The soldiers were all tired from yesterday's battle, so today's battle started at ten o'clock, so that everyone can rest more and accumulate enough body!" Zhang Shusen, chief of staff of the Second Group Army, said. Even if the attack began at ten o'clock, Zhang Shusen was sure that he would completely occupy Shuangchengzi before dark and annihilate all the Russian troops here.

"Hmmm! Be prepared for artillery fire as much as possible! Yesterday's losses were too great, and today it's street fighting again. Minimize unnecessary casualties! Xie Dingkun said. With the ideas that Wang Yuze instilled in the generals of the empire, the enemy that can be solved with cannonballs. Try not to risk the lives of soldiers. The lives of the soldiers are more important than the shells consumed.

"That's what I thought, too. The artillery brigade to which the army group belonged and the divisional artillery battalions of the three divisions were already ready. From ten o'clock, an hour of artillery preparation will be carried out on Shuangchengzi. It's enough to destroy the defensive positions of the Russian army! Zhang Shusen said. With one artillery brigade and three artillery battalions, this can concentrate more than 300 heavy guns of caliber of more than 05 mm, and there will be no big problem in dealing with the defenders of Shuangchengzi who have lost their strong fortresses and artillery.

The Russian army in Shuangchengzi was lying in the cold trenches, smelling the aroma of food wafting from the position of the ** squadron opposite, and only felt a burst of hunger in his stomach. Although, they have already had breakfast. But those ** black bread, where is the Chinese soldiers' delicious and hearty. Coupled with the weather at the end of March, although there is no snow anymore, the temperature is still not high. Holding on all night can choke these Russian soldiers from the cold. Most of the Russian soldiers are desperate, how can they resist the more than 100,000 squadrons of more than 100,000 people in a division like wolves. If before, they still despise the squadron. Yesterday's battle, then, completely changed their mindset. The Chinese soldiers are well-armed and have great firepower. The battle is even more fearless to death, which is not comparable to the Russian soldiers.

In the command of the Russian army, Major General Agata was quietly waiting for the squadron to launch an attack on Shuangchengzi. For victory, or to resist the attack of the squadron, he no longer has any hope. Now, he just hopes to use the fortifications of Shuangchengzi to delay the time for the squadron to occupy Shuangchengzi as much as possible.

"General, Your Excellency the Governor is calling!" A staff officer reported. His face was a little unpleasant, and it was clear that the contents of the telegram were not very good. Maybe it was the telegram of the Governor of the Far East, Aleksayev, to the Russian defenders of the Twin Cities.

"What did the Governor say?" Agata asked with a calm face.

"Your Excellency the Governor told us to defend the twin cities and buy as much time as possible for Vladivostok to prepare!" The staff officer said with a gloomy face.

"Alright, I got it!" Major General Agata said. His face was very calm, as if he had already guessed that such an outcome would be. The Governor of the Far East, Aleksayev, was originally an empty-eyed and arrogant man. At the beginning of the launch. He demanded that Agata retreat to Vladivostok and strengthen the defenses of Vladivostok. But Agata refused, and said that he would resist the attack of the squadron in the twin cities. This made Aleksayev very dissatisfied. And now, Agata has failed in his plan. This is tantamount to giving Aleksayev an excuse to attack.

"As a Russian, I will use my life to defend my honor!" Agata muttered. As a Russian aristocrat, even if he was only a minor nobleman, he was formally educated, and his mind was full of thoughts of loyalty to the Tsar.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was ten o'clock in the morning. On the banks of the Peter the Great River, the artillery of the Second Army was ready, an artillery brigade and three artillery battalions, each with an artillery position, and the muzzles of heavy artillery were all aimed at the twin cities.

At the front, the 14th and 21st Divisions each transferred a regiment to prepare for an attack on Shuangchengzi after the artillery was ready. Mortars and heavy machine guns were also erected from the starting positions, and after the offensive began, they were to provide the most direct fire support to the attacking troops.

"Fire!" The commander of the artillery brigade of the Second Army, gave the order to open fire. Suddenly, more than 300 heavy cannons, all of which were pouring shells on the twin cities.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "One grenade after another, roaring and falling into the twin cities. The explosion of the cannonballs, with great power, blew up the houses in the Twin Cities, and blew these houses full of European style into ruins. Some of the Russian soldiers hidden in it were buried directly inside, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

In the midst of the intense shelling, the entire twin cities were enveloped in gunsmoke. From time to time, the fortifications of the Russian army were blown up, and the Russian soldiers inside were killed. And in the face of the fierce shelling of the squadron, the Russian army in Shuangchengzi had no ability to counterattack at all, so they could only endure it bitterly. The artillery of the Russian army, in yesterday's battle, was almost lost. So now, they only have to be bombed.

The soldiers of the Chinese Army were smiling at Shuangchengzi, which was being bombed indiscriminately, and kept cheering for the artillery. They all know very well that the harder the artillery bombards, the greater the lethality to the Russian army, and the less counterattack they will receive in the next attack. If the artillery can blow up all the Russian troops hiding in the twin cities, then it would be even better.

Compared with the Chinese soldiers, the Russian soldiers are completely living like years. The entire twin cities were slowly turned into ruins under the fierce shelling of the squadron. The Russian soldiers, holding their heads tightly, curled up in the position, struggling to support themselves, praying that the shells would not fall on their heads. Their improvised positions could not withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery at all.

"Damn, these yellow-skinned monkeys, with such a long artillery preparation, do they want to wipe the twin cities off the map?" In the basement of the Russian army headquarters in Shuangchengzi, Major General Agata scolded viciously. In the midst of the shelling, dust continued to fall, making Agata a little worried about whether this solid basement would be destroyed in the shelling by the Chinese.

An hour of shelling, in the eyes of the Russian soldiers ravaged by the shelling, was so long, as if years had passed. Finally, the artillery fire stopped, which made the Russian soldiers breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hurry up, hurry up for me, the Chinese are going to attack!" The junior officers of the Russian army kicked and beat those Russian soldiers, drove them into their positions, and prepared to resist the attack of the squadron.

However, the expected offensive did not begin. Two minutes later, there was another shrill whistling in the air. The shelling of the squadron began again.

"Shelling, lie down! These cunning Chinese actually use such a despicable move! The Russians cursed viciously.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "A large number of shells fell on the positions, and when destroying the fortifications of the Russian army, it was a large number of killing and wounding of the Russian army's living forces. These Russian troops originally thought that the shelling was over and the attack of the squadron was about to begin, and they came out of the anti-artillery hole. But I never thought that this was completely deliberate by the Chinese artillery, in order to destroy them as much as possible.

This wave of shelling was not long, only ten minutes, but the Russian soldiers who had already entered the position were all suffering heavy casualties. When the Russian commander Agata received the defeat sent back from the front, he scolded even more.

"These despicable Chinese, God will definitely punish them!" Agata doesn't have to think about it to know that the Russian army on the front line must have suffered heavy casualties. He is no longer a little sure how long he can withstand the attack of the ** team.

"Attack!" After the shelling, the soldiers of the 4th and 22nd regiments jumped out of their positions and attacked the Russian army like a tiger descending from a mountain.

"Da Da Da!" Behind them, heavy machine guns launched a frantic glance at the Russian positions, suppressing the Russian firepower and covering the infantry's charge.

Mortars are also ready, and as soon as there are firing points on the positions of the Russian army, they immediately clear these fire points in order to minimize the casualties of the soldiers.

"Fire! Kill those damn yellow-skinned monkeys! "The officers on the front line of the Russian army pulled up the Russian soldiers who were still shivering and asked them to open fire to resist the attack of the squadron.

"Da Da Da! Bang bang bang! "Heavy machine guns and rifles rang out on the Russian positions, but the gunfire sounded a little chaotic.
