The position of Vasilyevich's division was not the main direction of attack in the northeast, but seeing that the 37th Infantry Regiment was already filled with gunsmoke in the distance, he knew that things were not good. The commander of the 37th Division was named Zakaevich, from an aristocratic background, and Vasilyevich met with him only once, and he was deeply impressed by the attitude of the other party's eyes above the top.

A pig is smarter than him, and it was an absolute mistake by God to throw Zakajevich in their family.

To be honest, this stupid pig will not die, Vasilyevich does not care at all. But if the opponent's position is lost, the back is the Yenisei River. Guarding the bridgehead of the pontoon bridge, once those routs lose their command, their instinctive choice must be to flee to the other side of the river, then they will be in trouble......

"Contact the commander of the 37th Division immediately and ask them how their situation is?"

The communications soldier immediately showed a bitter melon look.

"What's going on?"

"Report to the division commander, there is no telegraph connection between us and the 37th Division!" The communications soldier said stiffly.

When Vasilyevich heard this, he suddenly realized that there was indeed such a thing. Although the 10 divisions brought by Dragomilov themselves had signal corps, these soldiers had not been trained in telegraphy and were still studying at the headquarters of the Russian army on the west bank of the Yenisei River. However, the 37th Division's defense area was not a key defense area, so even the communication lines had not yet had time to be laid.

Although Dragomilov valued the people he brought in, he would not change the already extremely effective defense system without knowing the importance of it. In addition, radio communication technology has been successfully developed only in Northeast China, and most other countries have not yet fully studied its operating principle, so progress is very slow. In addition, they are lagging behind in materials science, and even if they make progress in some aspects, they will still be a lot of time away from practical use. Not to mention Russia, which was still a semi-feudal agrarian society, and the army could only use cable telegraph communications.

"Don't you have long legs? Hurry up and go to the 37th Division to see the situation! Vasilyevich roared. He is usually very elegant and kind to his subordinates, but at this moment, he finally can't control it, and he bursts out like a tiger.

The communication soldier was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, and said, "Yes!" ”

"What are you looking at the rest of you, hurry up and contact the military department, report the situation, and ask for support."

Vasilyevich walked around the command post, from time to time using a telescope to look at the situation on his own front in the distance, and finally stopped on a military map, guessing the intention of the Northeast Insurance Team to attack on the basis of the limited information available in his hand.

Not long after, a communications soldier came to his side and reported: "Division commander, the first regiment and the second regiment have already counted the casualties, and the third regiment is currently being hit by the heavy artillery of the Northeast Insurance Team because it is relatively close to the 37th Division." The Pit Viper has appeared, but has not joined the attack. The artillery positions and anti-aircraft guns of the three regiments were under heavy artillery attack and had been damaged. ”

Vasilyevich was a clever man after hearing this, the Northeast has radio communication technology, and the spy personnel of Tsarist Russia have confirmed the existence of technology. Then the pit viper airship suspended in the air can observe the entire deployment of its own side clearly, and then notify the artillery unit on the ground. The artillery of the Northeast is far from being able to compete with the backward artillery of Tsarist Russia in terms of firing range, so the artillery of Tsarist Russia is used to deal with the infantry attack in the Northeast, but cannot be used against the artillery of the Northeast. Although helpless, there is no choice.

"Immediately name the regimental artillery teams and transfer them, and protect the anti-aircraft guns. If the enemy airship is approaching, it is forbidden to attack. "Now Vasilyevich is no longer worried about the situation of Zakayevich's 37th Division, looking at the current posture and offensive intensity in the northeast, it is completely prepared to wipe out all the Russian troops on the east bank of the Yenisei River.

Just as Vasilyevich and the staff officers were discussing the next defensive plan, the communications soldier who had been sent out earlier ran back with a slight injury in the arm.

"Report."

Vasilyevich looked the communications corps up and down, and knew in his heart that the situation of the 37th Division was not optimistic.

"Say it."

"The division commander Zakajevich was slightly wounded, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the artillery positions were destroyed. However, Zakayevich had already ordered troops to meet the enemy in the service of His Majesty the Tsar. ”

"Is he crazy?"

The entire division headquarters was silent, and these people present knew that the Northeast Insurance Team was powerful, and the intensive firepower of the Bao 1 machine gun alone could make the entire 37th Division pay half of the casualties. If you add to this the fierce artillery, there are also terrifying pit vipers in the sky...... No one dared to think about it anymore.

"Division Commander, let's send someone to bring the 37th Division back." A staff officer whispered.

Vasilyevich waited for a look at him, but the staff officer did not dare to say anything more and lowered his head. Vasilyevich understood that this staff officer was actually for his good. Although Zakajevic does not have a very good relationship with himself, he is the one brought by Dragomilov after all. was wiped out by the Northeast Insurance Team like this, even if it has nothing to do with him, but Dragomilov will definitely blame himself. What this old man values most is those useless warriors! Don't look at Zakajevic's behavior of sending the whole division out is no different from suicide, but in the eyes of an old man who is like a mustard, maybe he has the right mind!

For a while, Vasilyevich was really in a dilemma.

Zakajevic is now disgraced, with a wound on his arm, and if it weren't for the guards' quick hands, it wouldn't have hurt an arm.

"The military band hurriedly assembled, and the sergeants gathered their troops and prepared for battle!"

At present, the mainstream army tactics in Europe are still playing with platoon guns and conducting through the guò military band. However, due to the impressive achievements of the Northeast Insurance Army, many powers, especially the European powers, which began to replace them with new breech-loading rifled guns and repeating firearms, have begun to learn some army tactics in the Northeast. Visionaries are working on the reform of the Army, no longer allowing soldiers to stand rigidly in line and shoot, but to begin to study new tactics after the advent of high-precision rifles. However, in terms of the command system, they have not been able to keep up with the pace of the Northeast, so they can only sigh and be afraid of many tactics in the Northeast.

As for Tsarist Russia, which is still unable to handle a gun per person, it is naturally unable to carry out reforms in this area, and even with French assistance, the weak industrial base still makes them falter.

"The target is the opposing artillery position!" Zakajevich roared, but his soldiers were dazed and at a loss.

Zakajevic was not confused, if his artillery could not bring the heavy artillery positions in the northeast into range, the battle would not be fought.
