On May 15, 1899, at about 5 o'clock in the morning of the second day after the evacuation of the remaining 450,000 troops attacking Darkhan City, there was a sudden muffled sound from the mountain fortification group outside Darkhan City, and then fierce gunfire and explosions sounded in the entire mountain fortification group outside Darkhan City.

After using explosives to blast the soil layer reserved in advance, the officers and men of the Dingbei Army took submachine guns that could be described as sharp weapons in close combat, and attacked in all directions along the familiar tunnels, and each mountain fortification dispatched at least a thousand people, while more than 20,000 Russian troops were distributed on dozens of mountain fortifications, making each mountain fortification only 3 or 400 people, plus the Russian army had no geographical advantage, and the result can be imagined. By almost 8 o'clock in the morning, the gunfire and explosions had subsided, and a few shots were fired by officers and soldiers of the Dingbei Army clearing out the remnants of individual Russian soldiers.

At this time, the adjutant of the division headquarters belonging to the third division of the attack force reported to Lin Daxin that the entire mountain fortification group had returned to the control of the Dingbei Army, most of the Russian troops guarding the mountain fortification group were annihilated, and a small part fled to the Russian camp in the north.

Lin Daxin was not surprised at all that he had taken back the mountain fortifications so quickly, after all, the Russian army would never have dreamed that the Dingbei Army would leave a secret tunnel in addition to the well-developed tunnels, so that the officers and soldiers of the Dingbei Army could enter the tunnels occupied by the Russian army and carry out surprise attacks on the Russian officers and soldiers who were unprepared and even asleep. Plus the large forces of the Russian army have been withdrawn. Only a small force remained, and the Russian army took the hard work so quickly. And there is nothing surprising that the group of mountain fortifications captured by the loss of hundreds of thousands of troops was surrendered.

As for the wounded soldiers of the Russian army. Lin Daxin only ordered them to be detained in the camp of the Russian army, and did not order the rescue of these tens of thousands of wounded Russian soldiers, Lin Daxin is not those who flaunt how righteous and benevolent he is, he will not waste precious medicine on these Russian soldiers who fought fiercely with the Northern Army under his command, at most he can provide these wounded Russian soldiers with some food, as for whether they can survive or not, they can only resign themselves to fate.

You must know that the wounded Russian soldiers captured by the Dingbei Army in the past were also treated in the same way, basically 1 of the 10 captured Russian soldiers who were seriously injured could survive. It's just lucky.

So Lin Daxin then ordered the Dingbei Army to leave the necessary troops to guard the city of Darkhan, and the remaining troops respectively through the road between the Guò mountain fortifications, and drove in the direction of Haktu City and Maimaicheng City to the north to pursue the Russian army.

At this moment, there was a continuous earth-shaking explosion from the north of the mountain fortification group, and Lin Daxin suddenly chuckled in his heart, and a bad premonition rose.

After a while, Lin Daxin's bad premonition immediately became a reality, and the Russian army actually planted a large amount of explosives in the camp north of the mountain fortification group, and waited for the officers and soldiers of Dingbei to capture the camp. When the situation of the wounded Russian soldiers began to be checked, many dead soldiers mixed with the wounded soldiers of the Russian army lit the fuse almost at the same time, and suddenly the entire Russian camp became a barrel of explosives.

Stormed the Russian camp. The officers and men of the six divisions of the Dingbei Army suffered heavy losses at once, and in the end, it was calculated that in this poisonous plan carefully planned by the Russian army, the Russian army used more than 40,000 wounded soldiers as bait. In the end, the given Northern Army brought nearly 23,000 killed and more than 20,000 wounded. The 6 divisions of the Dingbei Army, which had suffered a lot of losses in the offensive and defensive battle of the mountain fortifications outside Darkhan, suddenly reached the point of breaking their muscles and bones.

And more than 40,000 wounded Russian soldiers as bait. Less than 5,000 people survived this earth-shattering explosion, and many of the wounded Russian soldiers have been aggravated, and there should be only a handful of wounded Russian soldiers who can survive in the future.

Lin Daxin's face has been gloomy since he received the casualty report sent by Ni Fan, the commander of the Third Division, it can be said that this is the biggest loss that Lin Daxin has suffered since he got the crossing ring, from the Sailor Academy to the establishment of today's huge power, and what makes Lin Daxin's heart ache is that Fan Wubo, the commander of the 21st Division, and Gao Deli, the commander of the 22nd Division, who led the troops into the Russian camp, were killed, and Wang Peng, the commander of the 8th Division, and Liu Zhe, the commander of the 23rd Division, were seriously injured. Fortunately, Ni Fan, the commander of the 3rd Division, and Hu Desheng, the commander of the 7th Division, led the troops to clear the remnants of the Russian army in the mountain fortification group, and did not enter the camp of the Russian army, and escaped a catastrophe.

Ni Fan looked at Lin Daxin's gloomy face, sighed secretly, and then said: "Principal, I learned from the mouth of the captured 1 Russian division commander that the 3 armies of the 2nd Siberian Front and the 2 armies of the 3rd Front of the Russian Army have all transferred troops to the outside of Darkhan City. ”

Lin Daxin's brows furrowed when he heard this, he took a look at the map, and then said in a deep voice: "So, the two armies of the Third Siberian Front of the Russian Army were transferred from Bodaibo City!" ”

Ni Fan nodded and did not speak.

"What are Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Limin eating! The Russian army in Bodaibo City has sent 2 corps to Darkhan City, but their 2 divisions don't know anything about it, and immediately give Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Limin my order to capture Bodaibo City immediately! Lin Daxin shouted a little angrily.

Seeing that Lin Daxin was angry, Ni Fan and the officers who followed around Lin Daxin did not dare to squeak, and they all knew that Lin Daxin was on fire now.

Lin Daxin then said angrily: "Don't let me catch that commander of the Siberian Third Front, Ivanov, otherwise I will definitely cut him with a thousand knives to pay tribute to Fan Wubo and Gao Deli, as well as the souls of more than 20,000 soldiers in the sky!" ”

When such a situation occurred, Lin Daxin, who was originally going to pursue the Russian army with all his strength and strive to annihilate most of it near the city of Maimao or Irkutsk, changed his plan and only sent 30,000 cavalry of the 4th, 11th, 38th, 39th, 40th and cavalry divisions, adding up to 160,000 troops, to the north in the direction of Haktu City and Maimao City. Pursue along the route of the retreat of the Russian army.

Lin Daxin asked Jiang Yu, the commander of the Fourth Division, to be the commander of the pursuing force, and Lin Daxin had already received information from the Military Intelligence Bureau. The strength of the Russian defenders in Irkutsk increased, and units of 6 corps came from the European region of Russia. Having entered Irkutsk, Lin Daxin had already ordered the troops of the Panzer Division and the 38th Division there to stop the assault on the city of Irkutsk and prepare to withdraw to the territory of Outer Mongolia.

And Lin Daxin ordered Jiang Yu to lead the pursuing force if it can cooperate with the armored forces and the 39th Division of the city to annihilate most of the Russian army near the city, if not, stop the pursuit of the Russian army, the pursuit force will enter the territory of the Russian army from the city of buy and trade, and advance to the city of Ulan-Ude in the east, ready to pack up the Russian army in the city of Ulan-Ude and Chita, so that there will be no Russian troops in the area east of Lake Baikal.

The rest of the troops stayed behind to clean up the Russian camp. The bones of more than 20,000 wounded soldiers of the Dingbei Army and more than 20,000 fallen soldiers are still in the Russian army camp, waiting for treatment and burial.

The remaining 450,000 troops attacking Darkhan City, under the leadership of two front commanders Antonovich and Ivanov, did not take 3 days to retreat to the south of the city, not far from the city, at this time, 90 T1 heavy tanks, 150 Black Wolf tanks and 200 Z1 armored vehicles of the armored division were waiting for the arrival of the Russian army on the steppe outside the city, and the other 100 heavy Panther tanks of the armored division, 150 Black Wolf tanks and 200 Z1 armored vehicles. Together with the 38th Division of the Dingbei Army, they crossed the border between Outer Mongolia and Russia and attacked the base camp of the Russian Siberian theater.

The 39th Division of the Dingbei Army, which remained here, had already established blocking positions in the cities of Maimaicheng and Haktu relying on the terrain to prevent the Russian troops from returning to Russian territory.

Zhang Daxiong, the commander of the armored division, personally stayed here in the trading city, leading half of the armored division's combat vehicles. Finally, I received a report from the scouts that the Russian army was coming from the direction of Darkhan City, so Zhang Daxiong was in his No. 1 T1 heavy tank. He shouted loudly into the on-board radio in the tank: "Attention to the crew, I am car No. 1." The Russian troops attacking the city of Darkhan have already come, and today is the day when our armored division is famous. All the vehicle crews followed my No. 1 car to launch a surprise attack on the Russian army, remember that the task of the tank is to keep moving forward to disrupt the Russian army, and the task of the armored vehicle is to follow the tank to destroy the Russian army in large numbers, do you understand? ”

The reason why Zhang Daxiong shouted that today is the day when the armored division is famous is because the direction south of the city is an endless steppe in the direction of the Russian withdrawal, which is conducive to the terrain of the armored division to launch a concentrated assault, and the hundreds of thousands of troops withdrawn by the Russian army are basically infantry, only the 3rd Army of the Russian main army is equipped with a tank armored brigade with only 10 steam tanks and 20 armored vehicles, and the armored division of the Dingbei Army is almost negligible.

Zhang Daxiong heard the shouts of his subordinates in the loudspeaker, and then continued to shout: "The marshal called us, the Russian army killed and injured tens of thousands of us in the camp outside Darkhan City with poison schemes, and now is the time for us to avenge the other brother troops!" Panzer divisions advance! ”

Under the leadership of Zhang Daxiong's T1 heavy tank No. 1, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles rushed towards hundreds of thousands of Russian troops.

The front unit of the Russian army is an infantry corps with only 15,000 people left, and the commander of this infantry corps gave an order after the troops arrived near the city of buying and selling, so that the troops should stop advancing, and he was ready to let the troops stop and recuperate, and then send soldiers to the city of buying and selling and the city of Haktu to reconnoiter the reality of the Dingbei Army, and prepare for the recapture of the city of buying and selling and the city of Haktu by the large army of the Russian army. It's the tank of the Dingbei Army! ”

The commander of the Russian infantry corps looked up in the northerly direction, and immediately ordered anxiously: "Quick, pull our battle defense artillery over and prepare to open fire, and let the organized death squad come to the front, and all divisions and brigades will immediately establish blocking positions and block the tanks of the Dingbei Army for me!" ”

The Russian army learned from the rout of the Russian infantry corps that was originally guarding the city of Haktu and the city of buying and selling that the Dingbei Army that captured the two border cities had a large number of tanks, so the retreating Russian army also made some precautions against this, and the battle defense artillery and the Russian death squad with explosives bags were to guard against the tanks of the Dingbei Army.

However, if the Russian army in the steppe wants to establish a blocking position, it can only turn some horse-drawn carts that pull supplies sideways and use them as obstacles, and then arrange the battle defense artillery next to the carriage, while the officers and soldiers of the Russian army are hiding behind the carriage.

Soon, the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored division of the Dingbei Army approached the Russian troops, and the artillery on the tanks fired shells first, and then the machine guns on the tanks and armored vehicles began to "burst out" and constantly strafe at the Russian officers and soldiers.

The simple carriage defense line could not protect the Russian army behind at all, and there were constantly Russian officers and soldiers who were blown away, with stumps and broken arms flying all over the sky, or being hit by machine gun bullets and falling on the grassland, and even many of the anti-aircraft guns prepared by this Russian infantry corps were blown into parts by tank guns.

As the tanks and armored vehicles of the Dingbei Army got closer and closer, the Russian army's anti-aircraft artillery also began to wield, and shells were fired at the tanks and armored vehicles that rushed over.

T1 heavy tanks are not afraid of the Russian army's maximum caliber 57 mm battle defense guns, but these Russian war defense guns are still quite a threat to the Black Wolf light tank and Z1 armored vehicles, there are many Black Wolf light tanks and Z1 armored vehicles were destroyed by the Russian war defense artillery on the assault road, but this loss has been unable to stop the steel torrent of the Dingbei Army, almost in the blink of an eye, the tanks and armored vehicles of the Dingbei Army crashed into the cross-cutting carriage, at this time there were Russian death squad soldiers with explosives bags, Rushed to the tanks and armored vehicles, but most of them were shot by the machine guns on the combat vehicles, and only a small number of soldiers of the Russian death squad managed to get close to the target, pulled the fuse of the explosive pack, and blew up several Black Wolf light tanks and Z1 armored vehicles.

As for the T1 heavy tank, it was also pasted to the tank by the Russian army holding the explosive package, but fortunately, the modern alloy armor of the T1 heavy tank was not something that could be blown up by the Russian army with an explosive package containing a small amount of explosives, but there were T1 heavy tanks that were blown up by the explosives package.

However, every qiē was an episode, and the main theme was the tank group and armored vehicles of the armored division, which quickly broke the resistance of the Russian infantry regiment at the head and continued to assault the large forces behind the Russian army...... (To be continued......)
