With the help of airships, the army in the middle lane, that is, the headquarters army in Huaxia, launched an attack on the Russian army.

Although Jiang Fangzhen had speculated about the possible occurrence of minefields, he was not very sure, so he could only let the infantry go up to test the minefields first.

The Chinese infantry not only had grenades hanging from their belts, but also had several grenades hanging from their shoulders, which were used for detection, and some were to detonate more mines, so as to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, although the consumption of grenades would be large.

The soldiers were followed by tank and motorized units, and when they detected a minefield and bombarded a safe path with airships, they sprinted, and now they could only follow the infantry as bodyguards.

Rows and squads of Chinese infantry began to sprint, sprinting to the designated unsafe area above, that is, when it was possible to be the range of a minefield, these soldiers slowed down, and the soldiers behind them, all covered in grenades, followed closely behind the buttocks of the vanguard who were resisting the attack of the Tsarist army, and also shot at the Tsarist soldiers with their own guns.

When the Chinese soldiers attacked the designated minefield, the airship troops in the sky began to set off towards the defense line at the front of the Tsarist position, and soon reached the sky above the Tsarist position, and one after another shells were thrown from the airship.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The bombs exploded at the positions of the Russian troops, and the military defense facilities that emerged one after another were the targets of the bombing of the Huaxia airship troops, and those machine gunners and artillery were also their targets.

"Quick, dodge the bombardment!"

The Russian soldiers quickly and orderly entered the hole dug in advance, leaving only some soldiers to block the attack of the Chinese army.

In view of the existence of tanks and airships, Grand Duke Nicholas, after gathering the opinions of a group of officers, decided to use wide trenches, and then dig holes in the trenches diagonally down for air defense, which was a bit cumbersome, but it was a good idea, but it was a lot of work.

The Huaxia airship troops did not waste too many bombs on the Russian positions, but only killed some commanding heights, and they could not find the location of the Tsarist artillery.

After seeing that the bombardment of the Chinese airship troops was not as fierce as expected, a large number of Tsarist Russian soldiers were driven out of the burrows by the officers, and it was their task to block the attack of the Chinese army.

"Da !!"

Soon the machine gunners who had been blown up were replaced, and tongues of fire were sprayed towards the Huaxia soldiers, and the other Russian soldiers next to them were also blocking the Huaxia soldiers.

The Chinese soldiers, who had just been helped by the airship troops, had already come into contact with the designated area for detecting mines, and the soldiers behind them immediately lit grenades and threw them forward. Just as they threw out, the machine guns on the Tsarist side fired frantically at them, and suddenly a large number of Chinese soldiers escorting the front were hit, and some of them who reacted quickly lay on the ground and did not move, and then took their weapons and aimed at the machine gunners and fired.

The grenade did not cause any more explosions, and it was clear that there were no mines ahead, and it was necessary to keep going.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The tank units that followed the Chinese infantry fired shells at the positions of the Tsars, covering the infantry to continue the mine detection operation, and the artillery behind them also began to shell the Tsarist Russia.

"Make up for it quickly, you must not relax!"

After a Russian machine gunner with a machine gun was blown up, the officer commanding next to him immediately scolded the other soldiers to make up for it, and this situation was repeated one after another in the Tsarist positions.

"Dear Grand Duke, it can't go on like this, our machine guns can't be consumed at all, and logistics can't keep up."

"Then remove some of the machine guns and let them go to the second line of defense to stand by, no matter what, the Huaxia army will not be able to break through all the lines before the second batch of imperial reinforcements arrives. It would be nice if the Empire's airship troops came, so that they wouldn't be so passive. Grand Duke Nikolai said helplessly.

Now the morale of Tsarist Russia was very low, and Grand Duke Nicholas had to send officers of all ranks down to personally supervise the soldiers to fight, and he was very afraid of the appearance of such a great collapse, in which case there would be no need to continue fighting.

The battle continued, and the Chinese soldiers were still detecting mines, and with the help of tanks and artillery, their pressure was much reduced, and a second detection was carried out smoothly.

The Chinese soldiers who were detecting the minefields finally found the minefield after the second long-range throw, and the explosion of these grenades caused a large number of explosions, and the extent of the minefield was roughly estimated. As soon as the minefield was detected, a large number of Chinese infantry retreated, while tank and motorized units began to advance to the front, waiting for the bombardment of the airship troops.

The airship units above saw that the minefield was identified below and began to bomb, three to bomb the minefield, and two to bomb the Russian army in front, so that the tank troops and infantry could quickly get through.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The airship unit launched a carpet bombardment, and countless bombs exploded in the minefield, and at the same time caused a large number of explosions, which were detonated.

Ten minutes later, the minefield bombed by the airship was filled with smoke and dust, and the soldiers in this area of China and Russia could only shoot blindly.

The bombardment of the airship troops stopped, and one after another the tanks rushed into the bombed minefields, and they ran towards the Tsarist defensive line, and the infantry behind began to follow.

As they cautiously crossed the minefield, they began to accelerate even more frantically, with tanks and motorcycles rushing to the front. Suddenly, a tank that rushed to the front was blown over with a bang, followed by another explosion, and the tank directly emitted a large amount of black smoke, and the tanks and motorized units behind stopped urgently, and the tanks at the back drove back decisively, and some scattered left and right.

The first two tanks did not have time to stop and rushed directly to the vicinity of the bombed tank, followed by several explosions, and the two tanks also followed.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The Russian artillery began to wield its might, and shells were fired at the tank units in China. Seeing the shells fired by the Huaxia tanks, they evaded, but a few tanks were still blown up, and some were directly blown up and caught fire.

Fortunately, the tank troops were scattered, otherwise the losses would have been even more severe, and this is still the lesson learned from Cullen before.

The airship troops began to kill the Russian artillery after seeing it, and the Russian artillery immediately moved to the place after a few rounds of shelling, and they were still very afraid of the bombardment of the airship.

"Da !!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Looking at the Chinese soldiers not far away, the Tsarist Russian soldiers launched a fierce counterattack, and the Tsarist Russian soldiers were happy in their hearts about this situation of the Chinese army.

Although the tank troops could not advance, it was still possible to shell these soldiers of the Tsarist defense line, especially at close range, which would be much more accurate and powerful.

After a while, the Tsarist Russian soldiers did not dare to gloat, they were now also hit by tank units, and many Tsarist Russian soldiers did not dare to come forward and say shooting.

The Chinese army, which had rushed through the first minefield, was retreating, and the order to retreat had already been given to those above, and it was not known how many minefields were in front of them, so they had to retreat.

A few Chinese soldiers covered in blood crawled out of the tanks that were blown up in the second minefield, and without saying a word, they ran back along the road they had just come, only to see that they had run for a distance and then took out the grenades on their bodies and threw them at the tanks, and after a few explosions, the entire tank burst open, and debris flew everywhere.

These are all technical talents of the Chinese army in order to ensure that the tanks are not pulled back to Tsarist Russia to dismember and leak their technical talents, after all, the tanks in China's actual combat are still very different from those who bought drawings, and it would be wonderful if Tsarist Russia also had the technology of tanks.

The fact that Tsarist Russia has not studied the technology of tanks does not mean that other countries do not, who knows whether Tsarist Russia will jointly study these tanks with Britain, France and other countries, or it is a good point to ruin.

Jiang Fangzhen was also very helpless about the retreat, one was that he didn't know how many minefields there were, and he didn't want to make indifferent sacrifices, and the other was that the bombs of the airship troops had run out, and if he went back to replenish, he would have to wait for about half an hour, and he didn't know how much he would lose during this period, so he should retreat.

A lot of grenades have been consumed to detect minefields with grenades, there are not many grenades produced by the Chinese Empire, just enough to equip the army this time, the others are still being processed urgently, and more grenades will arrive with the second batch of reinforcements.

Just when the Huaxia Middle Road Army was retreating, the Huaxia Third Army also began to attack the southwestern troops of Tsarist Russia, and they wanted to settle the accounts of the last sneak attack.

But soon the Third Army also encountered the situation encountered by the Middle Route Army, and had to retreat, and the Third Army, which had already lost so many tanks, did not dare to let the tanks be consumed again, otherwise it would really have to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Soon after these battles began, some spectators from various countries arrived, such as Chile and Germany, and their viewing locations were all the Central Chinese Army, because this was the headquarters of the war between China and Tsarist Russia, and it was also the main force.

The German observers were Major General Saar, who was in charge of the training of German special forces in China, and Rear Admiral Bohr, who was sent by Chile to China to inspect the warship.

They were fortunate enough to see the battle to detect the minefield, although they didn't see anything for the Chinese tanks, but the power and the fact that Tsarist Russia laid out so many mines to guard against the tanks can prove the power of the Chinese tanks. The bombing of the airship shocked Major General Pol even more, if it was to bomb the city, the consequences were unimaginable, no wonder the Chinese Empire did not allow them to go to the city to observe.

Jiang Fangzhen attached great importance to the arrival of the spectators from the two countries, except for some secret military equipment, everything else was open to them, which was also Qin Yu's order. In order to wait for the arrival of the spectators from various countries, Qin Yu also ordered them to slow down a little, and he wanted to officially inform the countries of the rise of the Chinese Empire through this war, and also let the countries weigh up.
