Chapter 712: Disregard for Life (11th Update)

Countless soldiers of the Soviet Russian Red Army, armed with Bolshevist ideology, rushed to the positions of the 3rd Infantry Division under the 3rd Army of the Chinese Army with rifles. Their eyes are full of fanaticism, they regard death as their home, and they have no fear of death at all. The combat effectiveness of such an army is indeed very amazing. Of course, this style of play is certainly amazing, but at the same time, after hitting a solid defensive position, the casualties will be very terrifying.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The divisional artillery battalions of the 3rd Infantry Division, and the regimental artillery batteries of the regiments opened fire one after another. Both 105-mm light howitzers and 75-mm field guns were tilting shells at the maximum rate of fire towards the Soviet Russian Red Army. Dense shells exploded in the ranks of the Russian Red Army, and shrapnel was everywhere, harvesting the lives of these Russian Red Army officers and soldiers.

The attack launched by tens of thousands of people was like an overwhelming sea. However, this kind of dense charge, which had no formation to speak of, was certainly impressive, but it also became the best target for the intensive fire attack of the Imperial Army. Under the intensive artillery fire, the casualties of the Soviet Russian Red Army showed a straight upward trend. But even this did not allow the Russian Red Army to retreat.

"Rush! For Soviet Russia, for Comrade Ulyanov! A political commissar of the Russian Red Army shouted.

However, in the next second, a shell exploded next to him. When the smoke cleared, there was only a large crater left on the ground, and then there was nothing. As for the political commissar, he was also torn to shreds in the explosion.

When the Russian Red Army charged the island less than a kilometer from the defense line of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Imperial Army, mortars of various calibers also opened fire. 120 mm heavy mortar, powerful. 80-mm medium mortars and 60-mm light mortars with an impressive rate of fire. The dense shells fell into the ranks of the Russian Red Army like rain, almost curbing the offensive of the Russian Red Army.

"Hell! Why is the artillery fire of the Chinese so fierce? Even if it is the intervention forces of Britain, France, the United States and other countries. There is absolutely no way that there will be such a powerful artillery fire. Could it be that the firepower of those Chinese is already stronger than that of Britain, France, the United States and other countries? After Kasnov saw the heavy artillery fire of the Chinese army, the whole person was dumbfounded. Such a powerful artillery fire, which was almost unimaginable for the Soviet Russian Red Army. On the one hand. The Russian Red Army did not have so many artillery. On the other hand, even if there are so many cannons, it will not be allowed to shoot so many shells at once. After all, now the industrial strength of Soviet Russia has not been restored, and ammunition such as artillery shells is a luxury, where can it be consumed like this?

Although, at the instigation of the political commissars, the offensive of the Soviet Russian Red Army was fierce. Even in the face of the strong firepower of the Chinese army, it could not make them retreat. But. Heavy casualties, but the attacking Russian Red Army paid a great price. The 1st Infantry Corps, which was put into the attack, was also the elite of the 7th Army. However, before the attack reached the defense line of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Chinese Army, several thousand people were already lost.

"Comrade commander, the Chinese are too powerful. My troops suffered heavy losses. If we continue to fight, I am afraid that we will soon lose everything. Please give the order to retreat, Comrade Commander. The commander of the 1st Infantry Corps pleaded.

"Coward! Where are the undead in war? The battle has only just begun, and you're just talking nonsense here. If you dare to say more. I'll treat you as if you're shaking the military's heart. Kasnov said viciously.

The commander of the 1st Infantry Corps had to keep silent, but there was worry and fear in his eyes. But it can't be dissipated.

"Da Da Da!" The heavy machine guns on the positions also began to roar. The blazing bullets formed a storm of steel and shrouded the Russian Red Army. Even if they were all staunch Bolshevik fighters. But after all, it is flesh and blood, how can it withstand bullets?

Constantly people were shot, screaming and falling to the ground. The faith in the Bolsheviks, for them, did not help at all.

The offensive of the Russian Red Army. It lasted more than half an hour and had to be over. Because, the losses of the 1st Infantry Corps have already exceeded a third. The morale of the troops has been seriously affected as a result. If the fight continues, this infantry army may collapse with heavy losses. The Russian Red Army had never had an infantry corps collapse. If this were to happen, the consequences would be severe. So. Kasnov also had to withdraw the 1st Infantry Corps for repairs.

Kasnov, although a little arrogant, is not a brainless person. He also realized that the firepower of the Chinese* army was very strong. The Soviet Russian Red Army's attack on the Chinese Army's strong defensive line without firepower superiority was indeed a bit too much of a loss. In the past, the invincible tactics of decisive and desperate assault seemed to be useless in the face of the Chinese Army. This frustrated Kasnov.

When dealing with the intervention armies of the great powers, although the equipment of the Soviet Russian Red Army was equally rudimentary. However, their fierce and fearless attack often frightened the intervening forces, and the advantages of equipment could not be brought into play at all. As a result, the attacks of the Russian Red Army were often able to achieve miraculous results. However, in the face of the Chinese army, which was also fearless in the war, the offensive of the Soviet Russian Red Army seemed to be useless.

"Damn the Chinese, I don't believe you can always resist our attack. Order the 2nd Infantry Corps to get ready and attack in half an hour! Kasnov ordered.

Half an hour later, the Russian Red Army artillery opened fire again. It's just that when the planes of the Chinese Air Force came violently, the artillery of the Soviet and Russian Air Force immediately stopped shelling and began to evacuate and hide. In the face of the bombing of the Chinese Air Force, the Soviet Russian Red Army had no way at all. Therefore, the only option is to dodge.

But even so, several A2 attack aircraft of the Chinese Air Force seized the opportunity and blew up more than a dozen cannons. This was already a big loss for the 7th Army of the Soviet Russian Red Army.

Subsequently, the 7th Infantry Corps under the 2nd Army of the Russian Red Army launched an offensive. At this time, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force hovering in the sky had not yet left. The incomparable offensive of the Soviet Russian Red Army undoubtedly gave them a stage to perform again.

Several A2 attack planes circled down, swept over the heads of the Russian Red Army, and dropped bombs on their heads, killing many Russian Red Army. The 20mm cannon in the nose fired wildly, blowing up the Russian Red Army to pieces, and the scene was extremely bloody.

F5 fighters also joined the attack on the Russian Red Army, the aviation machine gun in the nose opened fire intensively, and a series of bullets were fired, directly causing a row of Russian Red Army soldiers to fall to the ground. The bullets of aviation machine guns are very powerful, as long as they are hit, even if they are not shot on the spot, they are still severed hands and feet. This was also equivalent to a mortal wound for the Soviet Russian Red Army, which lacked medicine.

The fighters of the Chinese Air Force finally ran out of bombs, finished shooting bullets, and left with a swagger, leaving only the Russian Red Army with a lot of devastation. At the same time, the artillery of the Chinese Army also began to shell, and once again launched a fierce artillery attack on the Soviet Russian Red Army.

Under the orders of the political commissars of the Russian Red Army, the officers and men of the Russian Red Army had to launch a fierce attack. However, the spirit of these Soviet Russian Red Army is completely different from before. In the face of the huge casualties, the frenzy in their eyes has vanished, replaced by deep fear. There is no one who is not afraid of death. Even the iron soldiers of the Soviet Russian Red Army will inevitably have fear in their hearts when they watch their companions fall one by one, some of them are even blown to pieces, and the entire battlefield is like hell.

"Mom! I'm going home, I don't want to go to war! "A young soldier of the Red Army of Soviet Russia, howling in fright.

"You coward, pick up your weapon and attack me!" A political commissar shouted angrily, as if the actions of this young soldier had defiled the great Bolsheviks.

"No, I'm going home, I don't want to be killed." The young soldier threw away his weapon and ran away.

"Deserter! You shameless deserter. According to battlefield discipline, I have the right to shoot you. Give me back, if I don't come back, I'm going to shoot. The political commissar shouted.

However, the young soldier fled without looking back.

"Bang!" Shots rang out. The young soldier fell to the ground at once. With his back to the direction of the attack, he did not die under the guns of the Chinese* army, but at the guns of his own people.

The political commissar put away his gun, looked around, looked at the Red Army soldiers who were already frightened, and said proudly: "Go on the offensive and do not retreat without receiving orders." Otherwise, you will be considered deserters. Not only will you be executed for this, but your family will also be implicated and sent directly to the hardest farms and mines. ”

The soldiers, who were originally a little angry at the political commissar's shooting of their comrades, couldn't help but shudder and continued to attack without saying a word. Even if they knew, it might kill them. However, they have no other way. The punishment imposed by the Russian government on deserters was very severe, not only would the deserters themselves be executed if they were caught, but their families would also be implicated. They would be sent to the hardest farms and mines for forced labor, and finally they would be exhausted to death.

Therefore, for the sake of the safety of their families, these Red Army soldiers had no choice but to continue the attack.

The political commissar had great power on the battlefield and could directly execute deserters who fled. (To be continued.) )
