Chapter 279: A Strange Battlefield

"Is he crazy?"

This is Vasilyevich's most direct feeling about the order of Dragomilov. Sure enough, they were going to use the knife of the Northeast to clean up the remnants of their Skobelevs. Vasilyevich wondered in his heart that he really didn't understand where Dragomirov got such confidence...... That's right, he brought ten divisions from St. Petersburg, but yesterday at the beginning of the confrontation, he was defeated by the northeast by nearly two and a half divisions. If his gang is wiped out by the Northeast, how can the remaining troops hold the current defensive line......

At this thought, Vasilyevich was suddenly shocked, and he finally understood that Dragomilov had actually abandoned the land on the east bank of the Yenisei River, abandoned the defense of the east bank, and used the wide surface of the Yenisei River as a barrier to defend the west bank. As for the troops that are still on the east bank, because the bridges on the Yenisei River have been blown up, Vasilyevich also understands that the Empire's ship capacity on the Yenisei River alone cannot afford such a large army. How to say that it is also eight divisions, a small number of soldiers of 100,000 people, if you count the war horses of the cavalry troops, there are other horses and livestock used for transport. If Dragomilov did not make a quick decision, the front would likely be overwhelmed by the Yenisei River cross-river logistical supplies, and the soldiers on the east bank would probably not be adequately resupplied.

"It seems that the old man is not crazy, but I haven't figured it out myself. But God, isn't he afraid of the wrath of the Tsar? Before the war with the Northeast, the scale was not large, but if it continued like this, the entire empire's finances would be dragged down. It is so difficult for the empire to raise military funds, but this old goods have lightly ceded the entire east bank of the Yenisei River, so isn't the army in a hurry for the empire and the military funds raised completely in vain? ”

Vasilyevich thought about it, and he didn't have to worry about Dragomilov. This old man is very favored in front of His Majesty the Tsar, and it is estimated that he can be deceived in a few words, but it is himself, and it is easy for Dragomilov to clean himself up. Turning over the clouds, carrying the rain of hands, casually pressing a crime, you will lose your life.

This time the order was to go and capture the 205 heights of the Northeast Insurance Corps and destroy the heavy artillery positions. If you attack head-on, you will fight into the entire division by yourself, and there is no possibility of completion. As for the night raid...... Vasilyevich shook his head, the same pessimism.

"It seems that it is not possible to fight without fighting."

Originally, the Northeast planned to use new weapons to attack the positions of the Russian army on the east bank of the Yenisei River, hoping to achieve the effect of completely annihilating them. Unexpectedly, before they could make a move, the Russians themselves attacked first.

Hwako was leaning back to the trench and reading books on military theory, the sound of artillery on the battlefield seemed to have little effect on him, and Hudson and Kim Geun-seok also lost interest in the tragic fate of the Russians after watching the heavy artillery bombardment for a while. The task assigned above is to guard the high ground and prevent the Russian army from sneaking up on artillery positions. As for launching a strong assault on enemy positions, that was the task of other regiments.

But at this moment, Haji, who was lying on the edge of the trench, suddenly cried out and said, "There is a situation! ”

It didn't matter what he shouted, the whole trench was busy, and Huazi lay down beside Haji and looked down with a telescope. Shocked at first sight, Kim Geun Suk said strangely on the side: "Are the Russians crazy?" Are there still fewer people who died yesterday? ”

Company commander Zhang Sanxiang had already reported the situation to the battalion headquarters, and everyone had entered the stage of combat readiness. But the strange thing is that the Russian army is only showing its teeth and claws two kilometers away, and from time to time it releases its guns, and Ula Ula shouts there, but it does not attack the position of the Northeast Insurance Team.

"Could it be that the Russians think we are all scared, what are we doing?" Kim Geun Suk asked Hwako beside him inexplicably.

"Could it be black magic?" Haji guessed based on his own experience, but he was immediately despised by everyone present. At present, the insurance team often conducts cultural education, and the ideological guidance is the materialist world outlook and methodology.

"No matter how many of them are, let the artillery regiment behind you give it a while, don't you know what tricks they play!" Hudson didn't bother with this at all, and directly used the most violent solution.

"Can the artillery regiment listen to us?" Kim Geun Suk splashed cold water.

"We don't have the right to ask for the artillery regiment, but don't we have mortars in our battalion?" Huazi rolled his eyes and came up with such a method.

The company commander Zhang Sanxiang was next to him, and it made sense when he heard it, he was also in his thirties, and he attached great importance to the opinion of Huazi, the little showman in the company. directly asked the signal corps to contact the battalion headquarters, and it didn't take long for the sound of breaking the sky to be loud.

The Russian soldiers under the heights were all Vasilyevich's men, who had been fighting with the Northeast for several years, and as soon as they heard the sound, they knew that the portable high-profile guns of the Northeast Insurance Team had fired, and they didn't even think about it, they just turned around and ran. However, in the end, the two legs couldn't catch up with the shells, so they hurried and hurried slowly, and more than a dozen people were blown up.

"Where the hell is this?" Zhang Sanxiang looked through the telescope at the strange behavior of the Russians.

The behavior of the Russian soldiers made the Northeast Insurance Team inexplicable, and no one had ever seen Zhang beat him like this. However, Vasilyevich didn't care about it now, and then sent his men to make trouble several times, the most impulsive one was to run out of the northeast high ground for dozens of meters, and when they didn't even enter the range of the Bao 1 sniper rifle, these people turned around and ran back to the position. Occasionally put a few shots on the ground, and a few shots are collapsing in the back, and it sounds very lively from a distance, and I don't know how fierce the battle is.

In Vasilyevich's division, everyone looks at me, I look at you, although today's events are a bit embarrassing, but it is better than letting his soldiers die. Vasilyevich didn't think he was a good man, but he didn't have the hard-hearted heart of Dagomilov, who valued human life like a number. Sometimes he also admires the other party, probably he is the president of the Imperial General Staff and the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front, and the main gap between himself and being a division commander is here.

The drama continued until the afternoon, when Vasilyevich's communications officer kept sending requests for support to the headquarters on the other side of the river, and the reply was only a few words - resist, must resist, for the empire, for the sake of His Majesty the Tsar, glory is with you.

Because the other party's intentions were not clarified, the Northeast did not launch a new offensive that day, but only used pit viper airships to bombard Krasnoyarks again, as well as transport ships on the Yenisei River, interfering with the logistics and supply of the Russian army on the east bank.

So the battlefield was plunged into this strange atmosphere, but Dragomilov was more difficult than Vasilyevich imagined, and this was the last order of the day: "The 25th to 28th Divisions will remain on the east bank of the Yenisei River, while the rest of the troops will withdraw to the west bank at night to relieve the pressure on the logistics and supply on the east bank." ”
