The ordinary soldiers of the Russian army are basically made up of serfs. Before joining the army, there was little education at all. Even if they joined the army, they did not receive much formal military training, and many people only learned how to shoot.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

One after another, the shells that fell from the sky fell into the crowd, and the huge power directly tore apart those Russian soldiers, leaving blanks one by one in the dense crowd.

The human body is so fragile at this moment, it can be easily torn apart. The tall Russian soldiers now look like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, easily swept into the sky.

"Oh God! How could the shelling of those yellow-skinned monkeys be so fierce? "Admiral Vladimir's face was a little pale.

Lieutenant General Fyodor's face was even more ugly, the infantry division under his command suffered heavy losses from hundreds of artillery shells, and it was obvious whether it would be able to tear through the defense line of the Northern Army.

"Hell! Those yellow-skinned monkeys had at least three hundred to four hundred cannons! Lieutenant General Fyodor said very firmly. The reason why he judged this way was because the 75-mm field guns of the Northern Army had a too fast rate of fire, much faster than the 76.2-mm field guns of the Russian army. That's why he thought that the Northern Army was equipped with a lot of artillery.

"Attack, run faster. Hell, a little faster! The officers of the Russian army urged. When encountering the fierce shelling of the Northern Army, they could only run desperately, and only in this way could they quickly break out of the range of the Northern Army's shelling.

When the Russian army finally broke out of the shelling range of the Northern Army, this infantry division paid the price of at least 2,000 people. This is also the reason why their offensive formation is relatively sparse. Otherwise, the price they pay will be even greater.

"Mortar, fire!" Before the Russian army had time to breathe a sigh of relief, all sorts of mortars deployed on the positions opened fire. An infantry regiment. A total of more than 100 mortars of various calibers fired at the Russian army with frantic firepower. The power of these mortars, although not as good as field artillery. However, the rate of fire of mortars is much more perverted than that of field guns. This gave the Russian army a good experience of what it means to rain bullets.

The Russian army broke through to a position only about two hundred meters away from the position of the Northern Army, and the heavy and light machine guns on the position began to strafe. A distance of 200 meters is only a minute for an adult to be able to cross. But. After encountering the dense machine-gun fire of the Northern Army. The soldiers of the Russian army were like cutting wheat, and they fell to the ground one by one. There was no threat to the positions of the Northern Army at all.

The crossfire of the Northern Army's powerful light and heavy machine guns was like the last straw that crushed the camel's camel, completely collapsing the attacking Russian infantry division. In the face of huge losses, even elite troops could not bear it. Not to mention an ordinary Russian infantry division.

The Russian army's offensive took less than half an hour. However, an infantry division of more than 10,000 people was completely crippled in this half hour. More than half of the division's casualties were lost, and the rest were in shock. If you want to keep them on the battlefield. That's simply not possible. It can be seen that this tentative offensive launched by the Russian army has completely failed.

"It seems that those yellow-skinned monkeys are more powerful than we thought. At least, their firepower was really as strong as their colleagues in the Far Eastern Governorate said. "said Admiral Vladimir. They learned from the Russian troops in the Far Eastern Governorate that the Northern Army was very strong, especially the artillery and machine gun dynamics. At the beginning, Admiral Vladimir did not take this seriously. But now. He didn't dare to underestimate it anymore.

Lieutenant General Fyodor and others nodded their heads one after another, and an infantry division was crippled in half an hour. Such a rate of loss. It did exceed their expectations.

"Our enemies are strong. But now we have no other way. We managed to reach Cullen, and if we didn't take Cullen, all our efforts would be in vain. Therefore, no matter how heavy the casualties are, we must take Cullen. "said Admiral Vladimir. Powerful firepower of the Northern Army. He was very shocked. However, there is no way back for him. To win this battle, you must take Cullen. Otherwise, they're doomed.

"Yes, General!" The other generals all nodded their heads.

"Half an hour later. Attack again! This time, the offensive was launched not only from the north, but also from three other directions. We have an absolute superiority in our forces and can launch an offensive on the front line and strive to break through the defense line of the Northern Army in one fell swoop! "said Admiral Vladimir. He had 400,000 Russian troops under his command, and the city of Kulen was only more than 70,000 people. In terms of troops, the Russian army has an absolute upper hand.

"Yes, General!" The generals all received the order.

Half an hour later, the Russian army attacked again. First of all, there is still an overwhelming shelling. However, the Russian artillery bombardment, suppressed by the firepower of the Northern Army, did not achieve much results at all, but lost a lot of artillery and artillery.

As soon as the shelling of the Russian army ended, more than 50,000 Russian troops launched an attack on Kulen from four directions. Even if there were no artillery preparations in the other three directions, the Russian offensive was still fierce. It's just that the Russian army's attack still didn't work. In the face of the Northern Army's ring fortifications centered on Kulen, no matter which direction they launched an attack, they would encounter heavy fire blows from the Northern Army.

"Da Da Da!"

A light machine gun fire point was firing frantically, and before the light machine gun could fire, more than a dozen Russian soldiers fell to the ground. However, the light machine gun had only twenty rounds in its magazine, and it was quickly finished. So much so that the machine gunner had to change the magazine.

The Russian army, which was originally suppressed, also took advantage of this gap to launch an attack again. However, after only a few seconds, the Heavy finished changing the magazine and began to strafe again. The Russian army was once again suppressed and had to lie on the ground, unable to advance or retreat.

"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot rang out, and a bullet hole the size of a thumb appeared in the forehead of a Russian second lieutenant officer, and the whole person fell to the ground at once. And three hundred meters away from him, a sniper of the Northern Army was searching for the next target.

The snipers of the Northern Army rarely shot directly at ordinary soldiers on the battlefield, and the targets they shot were often valuable targets such as low-ranking officers or machine gunners of the enemy. As for the ordinary soldiers, it is better to leave it to the light and heavy machine gunners.

"Da Da Da!"

Dense bullets hit the trenches of the Northern Army, and several soldiers who were firing at the Russian army with rifles in their hands hurriedly lowered their heads.

"Old Maozi's heavy machine gun, ask for mortar support, kill this heavy machine gun!" A sergeant squad leader shouted.

Less than 200 meters away from the position of the Northern Army, a heavy machine gun of the Russian army, which had finally moved up, was firing frantically. With heavy machine gun fire, Russian soldiers are charging from their waists.

The platoon's 60-mm light mortar, aimed at the heavy machine gun. The two shells quickly dismantled the muzzle and whistled towards the location of the heavy machine gun.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Two explosions were heard, and the first shell, which did not hit the target, deviated a little. However, the scattered shrapnel killed the Russian heavy machine gunner. The second shell hit the target, blowing the heavy machine gun into parts.

Without the cover of heavy machine guns, the soldiers of the Northern Army could easily torture and kill those Russian soldiers.

The fierce attack of the Russian army brought the Battle of Kulen to a high tide from the beginning. The Russian army attacked from all sides of Kulen, so much so that the Northern Army had to deploy troops on all sides. Fortunately, the fortifications built earlier by the Northern Army played a great role. It is only necessary to deploy a regiment in one direction, and with the help of those fortifications, it will be able to withstand the attack of the Russian army. Although the Russian army put into the attack was several times larger than the Northern Army, it was still under the strong fortifications and strong firepower of the Northern Army, and its head was broken and bleeding.

However, the Russian army has given full play to its superiority in strength. Since the morning, the offensive of the Russian army has not stopped. They have enough troops to rotate. So much so that the officers and men of the Northern Army had to fight all the time.

After all, people are not steel, and their energy and physical strength will be constantly consumed, especially in fierce battles, and their energy and physical strength will be consumed very quickly. In addition, the strong combat power of the Northern Army is completely based on strong firepower, which makes the consumption of weapons and ammunition on the front line also very fast.

"Let the 21st and 22nd Infantry Divisions replace the 2nd Infantry Division. Let the 2nd Infantry Division withdraw and take a break. In the afternoon, Wu Haoxuan decisively gave an order. The officers and men of the 2nd Infantry Division were already too tired and their combat effectiveness had declined. If this continues, there will be unnecessary losses.

"Yes, young marshal." Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu nodded.

The 21st and 22nd Infantry Divisions, which were on the second and third lines of defense, replaced the 2nd Infantry Division through the communication trenches. With the addition of the new force, the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army has been maintained at a high level. It was not until late afternoon that the Russian attack ended.

It's just that in front of the positions of the Northern Army, the corpses left by the Russian army have accumulated a thick layer. The blood left from these Russian officers and soldiers soaked the soil. In some low-lying places, there are even small pools of blood pooled. (To be continued......)
