Sometimes ideas and reality are often different, the five field armies of the Dingbei Army outside the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk, the counterattack troops at night only recovered about half of the positions occupied during the day yesterday, but the commanders of several field armies did not care about this, the sky was already dawn, with the air support of the Northeast Air Force fighters, it would not be too easy to recapture the other half of the positions occupied yesterday, and today, if possible, the five field armies are ready to take all the positions of the Eight-Nation Alliance outside the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk in one fell swoop.

So as soon as the sky was slightly bright, the counterattack troops of the Dingbei Army received the order to defend on the spot and stop continuing the offensive, and with the cooperation of the tanks, the offensive of the Dingbei Army was also very fierce, but it was still not as comfortable as the planes in the sky to throw bombs and open the way.

But immediately God poured a basin of cold water on the five confident field army commanders, and the sky was dawn, but suddenly there was a strong wind, and after a while, the sky was full of dark clouds, which was really a strong wind and dark clouds, and it was a bad weather, and the fighters of the Northeast Air Force had to stay honestly at the temporary airport in such weather, and could not take off.

Soon after, with strong winds and dark clouds, it rained drippingly, and Wang Hongjun, the commander of the First Field Army, couldn't help but complain and said to the other four field army commanders: "This ghost weather, our hundreds of thousands of troops have been here for so many days, and the result is only 1 sunny day, and I haven't enjoyed it Today, God has changed his face again, and if it goes on like this, we will capture the entire Krasnoyarsk City, I don't know how long it will take." ”

The other 4 field army commanders also shook their heads with a wry smile, of course, they could order the troops to attack without waiting for the sky to clear. But then there was no air support from Air Force fighters. The number of casualties could have to be multiplied several times, which was unacceptable to none of the commanders of their five field armies. I can only wait for the sunny day.

Zhang Limin, the commander of the Second Field Army, frowned and said: "This kind of weather, it's not good, no!" It should be a must! The troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk will certainly take advantage of this weather to continue their offensive on the positions we still occupy. The fortifications on those positions are better than nothing, and without the fighters of the air force, the enemy's artillery and our artillery cannot be completely suppressed, so I think it is better to let the troops on the positions withdraw, and when the weather is clear, there are fighters to help. We're going back on the attack. ”

Deng Zichao, the commander of the Third Field Army, also nodded and said: "It's okay to withdraw, anyway, the fortifications of these positions are severely damaged, and the army of the Eight-Nation Alliance will only have some trenches to play a role even if they rush to repair, and when the fighters can take off, they can be easily recaptured." ”

The five field army commanders finally looked at each other and agreed to give up the occupied positions, which they wanted to hold and could only fight for their lives, which was definitely not a good idea.

Compared with the helpless face of the five field army commanders, the commanders of the four national armies in the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk. But they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, they knew that in such weather, the planes of the Dingbei Army would not be able to take off.

The commander of the French Army, who is also the commander of the entire coalition army, Joyles hesitated for a moment and asked the commanders of the other three countries: "Generals, let's see if we continue to take advantage of this opportunity." Launch a counterattack again and recapture the remaining positions occupied by the Dingbei Army? ”

As soon as Joyles heard Joyles's words, the commander of the 3rd Army of the Russian Army, Nika Norrovich, the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army, Gloria, and the commander of the Italian Army, Hannaved, all frowned in unison.

The battle between last night and early this morning. Let the army of the four countries suffer a lot of losses, and the total number of dead must be 6 or 70,000. Several commanders were a little distressed by the losses of their own national army.

Nika Noorrovich said: "General Joyles, on top of the positions occupied by the Dingbei Army. The fortifications have been severely destroyed, and it will be of little use for us to take them back. Even if we pay the price to recapture these positions, if the weather improves, the Dingbei Army can reoccupy these positions with a single charge with the support of aircraft, and it is almost impossible for us to rely on these broken positions to block the Dingbei Army. ”

Gloria also nodded and said: "Yesterday day and night, the losses of our troops were not small, and because it was a counterattack overnight, the troops were also very tired, I think those positions, it doesn't matter if they are captured or not." ”

Hannawade, who was on the side, followed and said: "We can't hold it back, so let's just leave it at that, let's let the officers and soldiers strengthen the positions they currently control, and prepare for the next round of attacks by the Dingbei Army. ”

Joyce didn't make up his mind in his heart to recapture those positions that had little effect, he didn't care about these positions, but in such weather the planes of the Dingbei Army could not fly to the battlefield, and the Dingbei Army could play its own artillery power, but listening to the opinions of the other 3 commanders, especially the problem of troop fatigue, he also dispelled the idea of sending troops to continue the attack, but at this moment, a staff officer sent urgent information, and the Dingbei Army retreated from the position it had occupied, giving up the messy position, returned to the garrison built by the Dingbei Army itself.

The commanders of the four armies immediately discussed, although they were reluctant to storm these positions, but now that the Dingbei Army itself has let it out, they still decided to send troops to receive it, in any case, these positions can still play some role in resisting the attack of the Dingbei Army if they are slightly repaired.

The battle in Krasnoyarsk City was temporarily stopped because of the weather, so that Lin Daxin, who was in Shenyang City, could only shake his head helplessly after receiving the news, and the weather in Krasnoyarsk City did not know what was wrong, either thunderstorms or windy days, so that the fighters of the Northeast Air Force could not take off for battle.

Lin Daxin also did not want the Dingbei Army under his command to lose too much, after all, I don't know how many tough battles there were behind the battlefield on the Northern Front, and his Dingbei Army not only had to face the Russian Army, but also fought against the armies of Germany, France, Britain, Austria-Hungary, and Italy.

For example, the German Army, which had just been ruthlessly cleaned up by the Dingbei Army in the city of Cherkar, mobilized another 200,000 troops into Russia, and if several other countries were like Germany, plus Russia, which was already fighting in the territory, some of the battlefields on the northern front would have been fought and fought under the air cover of air force fighters, the losses of the Dingbei Army could be minimized.

In his office in the Governor's Palace, Lin Daxin summoned Wu Peifu, chief of the General Staff of the Dingbei Army, Jiang Hui, chief of the General Staff of the Northeast Navy, Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Wang Yan, the chief administrative officer of the northern provinces.

Lin Daxin first asked Li Kun: "Where has the navy of the Eight-Nation Alliance arrived now?" Is there any intelligence? ”

Li Kun replied: "Hong Kong intelligence officers have sent news that some warships of the British Navy's Chinese fleet in Hong Kong port, as well as the French Asian colonial fleet that arrived in Hong Kong a few days ago, have left Hong Kong port early this morning, according to the intelligence of Hong Kong intelligence officers, the two fleets will join the European joint expeditionary fleet of the Eight-Nation Alliance and the Far East Fleet of the British Navy Singapore near the Dongsha Islands, and the Hong Kong intelligence officers also reported that the British Navy has been equipped with a kind of radio station, which can be contacted at sea. ”

With the development of the times, more and more new weapons and equipment will appear in countries around the world, for the British Navy to equip radio stations, Lin Daxin did not care too much, his Dingbei Army and Northeast Navy have long had radio stations.

After a pause, Li Kun continued: "In addition, the intelligence officers in Japan sent a telegram that the remaining main forces of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet at the port of Yokosuka in Japan, together with the American fleet that arrived at the port of Yokosuka a few days ago, left the port of Yokosuka two days ago. It seems that the day of a decisive battle between our Northeast Navy and the Navy of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the Taiwan Strait is not far off. ”

Lin Daxin nodded, and then asked Jiang Hui, chief of the general staff of the Northeast Navy: "It seems that the day of a sea war is really not far away, how is the navy prepared?" ”

Jiang Hui said confidently: "Don't worry, the six main fleets, submarine forces, and dreadnought battleship formations of our navy have made sufficient preparations and are waiting for the navy of the Eight-Nation Alliance to send them to the door." ”

In Jiang Hui's opinion, the Northeast Navy has 6 dragon-class dreadnought battleships and 7 super dreadnought battleships, if they can still lose, then they, the admirals, can really buy a piece of tofu and kill them, if the Northeast Navy did not hide these dreadnought battleships, the British Dreadnought would not have become synonymous with this super battleship.

Lin Daxin was not worried about the outcome of the naval battle, so he said: "After the end of this naval battle, our dreadnought battleships should be exposed, and when the time comes, your naval general staff will formulate a new fleet reorganization plan and redeploy our main fleet, and then the navies of various countries should also enter the stage of building dreadnought battleships." ”

Jiang Hui nodded and said: "Yes, Marshal, after the victory of this naval battle, there should be no major war in our navy, and our naval general staff will immediately start a new reorganization plan." ”

Lin Daxin said to Wu Peifu, chief of the general staff of the Dingbei Army: "Have all the 30 new divisions been sent to the front line?" In addition, did the field armies send reinforcements in the past? ”

Wu Peifu nodded and said: "10 new divisions have been sent to Kazakhstan, 20 new divisions have been sent to Siberia, and the additional troops of the field armies on the front line have also been assembled in Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia, and they will replenish the losses of their troops at any time according to the requirements of the field armies."
