Chapter 625: Gray Cattle VS Chinese Soldiers

The Russian shells landed accurately on the positions of the Wehrmacht.

Fifty or sixty mountain artillery pieces were lined up in the wilderness directly west of the position, and the momentum was not as good as the original Battle of Alatau, but because of the increase in the power of high, explosive, and medicine, the momentum was also very shocking. Moreover, the shells were relatively accurate, and columns of blue-black smoke rose from the front-line positions of the Wehrmacht. From time to time, broken limbs were blown apart and flew around.

Luo Hu has already been on the front line, holding a telescope in his hand and watching the battle with a gloomy face. Lao Maozi is really powerful, and there are at least fifty or sixty cannons lined up alone! There should still be artillery, or even a batch of heavy artillery, that has not fired from behind, or has not yet arrived. But such firepower is already an absolute superiority. As soon as the artillery of our own army bombards the artillery position, it will immediately attract the covering bombardment of the Russian artillery - there are their school-fired balloons in the air.

In the dark, the goal should not be too obvious. The fifty or sixty cannons on the opposite side bombarded out, and the bright light that burst out seemed to turn the position into a thunder pool.

It was also because the six 75-gun forts were strong, they were still semi-underground, and the targets were small, and they were hit by firing shells, and they did not form a major problem. Luo Hu has ordered that all cannons are not allowed to fire, and he has to wait until a suitable opportunity to give Lao Maozi a hard blow!

Thirty minutes of artillery fire was about to end in a blink of an eye, and the position was covered in gunsmoke, but everyone knew that the infantry charge would begin after the artillery fire! Luo Hu hurriedly gave an order and ordered all troops to enter the combat position! The Russian army is about to come up.

"For the sake of the Tsar, for the sake of Russia, soldiers. Advance! ”

Lieutenant Colonel of the 5th Regiment Sergei . Zhinikov shouted slogans. It was a regimental attack. The offensive against the Chinese is based on regiments, and there is no need for even a tentative attack. Zhinikov bravely walked on the front line.

Hearing the roar of their regimental commander, more officers squeezed the same cry out of their chests. The 1,300 soldiers of the 5th Regiment straightened up. Everyone grabbed their bayonet-mounted rifles and strode forward with the officers wielding their command knives.

The soldiers were like a tide, rushing and boiling. While advancing, he pulled out the formation and put out a standard offensive skirmisher line!

The night covered the attacking Russian army, and the Wehrmacht could only observe the 'lines' of the Russian army with flares. Luo Hu, who was standing on the front line of the Wehrmacht, and several equally experienced officers watched all this with ice on their faces!

Ice is cold, heavy, and solid. It's calm.

"Interception fire with mortars!"

Twenty-four concealed 60 mortars showed their muzzles after receiving orders. Boxes of shells were fired, and shells fell through the muzzle and erupted.

Three hundred shells were wiped out in just two minutes. Then the mortar units were quickly transferred.

The artillery fire of the Russian army in retaliation arrived, but it was too late.

Mortars are much more dexterous and light than artillery, and the tactic of firing a few shots to change places is the most basic tactic of mortar warfare. So after less than three minutes of stopping, another batch of shells fell on the heads of the Russian soldiers.

The 5th Regiment was very unlucky.

The range of these mortars was already close, and under the illumination of flares, the Russian army's charging queue was very clear. Such a large 'skirmish line' can fire shells at the heads of those Russian soldiers almost with their eyes closed. Immediately, the attacking Fifth Regiment plunged into a hell of fire.

Although mortar shells are not very powerful, they cannot withstand their density and speed. The whistling shrapnel almost turned the battlefield into a deadly morgue. Even if the formation of the 5th Regiment was very loose, it still suffered a lot of losses at the first time. However, the soldiers of the 5th Regiment who were not hit were still in the majority. They all reacted immediately. Shoot prostrately, find a single piece of terrain to cover up, or simply lie on the ground and remain motionless.

The shelling of the Wehrmacht simply could not last. The power of the Russian artillery group is far superior to these mortars. So for each shot, the time is definitely no more than two minutes. Quickly transfer after that. And the 5th Regiment also took the opportunity to jump up and charge in the middle of the movement of the mortar troops!

And so on until the distance is close to a distance of 200 meters. Wehrmacht soldiers began to shoot. The Russian army fired three more rounds of shells. And then the remaining soldiers of the 5th regiment were in Sergey . The final charge began with a loud command from Lieutenant Colonel Zhinikov.

"Rush! For the glory of Russia! ”

"For His Majesty the Great Tsar, for the Holy Russian Empire......"

In the sound of slogans, the heavy machine guns of the Russian army also moved forward together. It was erected five or six hundred meters away from the Wehrmacht position, and then 'click-click' shooting, providing cover for the advancing Russian troops with side-firing fire.

Ulla's cries resounded throughout the battlefield. Although the Russians have staggered at this moment because of several mortar shelling and long-distance charges, some of them are still stained with blood, like a group of fierce gods and evil ghosts rushing out of hell! Their bad deeds soon approached the positions of the Wehrmacht.

The artillery preparation of the Russian army has destroyed a number of obstacles set up in front of the position, clearing a passage for the infantry to attack. Now there are only three barbed wire fences with thistles in the distance between them.

"Hit!" Luo Hu shouted, picked up a Type 08 rifle and aimed it at a Russian officer wielding a saber!

Heavy machine guns, semi-automatic rifles, and rifles in the trenches were fired at the same time. Countless thin red rays, either alone or in a series, flew at a very fast speed towards the Russians two hundred meters away. The stormtrooper formation of the 5th Regiment of the Russian Army was hit head-on, and the soldiers immediately fell down with screams. The arrangement of ten heavy machine guns, the soldiers of the 5th Regiment who rushed to the front were almost completely swept down! But the people behind are still rushing forward without hesitation!

This is the Russian Empire, and this is the 'grey cattle' on which the Romanov dynasty relied to intimidate Europe.

Moreover, the low-level officers of Russia are also very heroic, one by one the officers brandished their sabers and led the charge with their heads held high. They were the cornerstone of the entire Russian Imperial Army.

Of course, some of the Russian soldiers stopped advancing, either kneeling on one knee or lying on the ground, aiming their rifles at the Wehrmacht's point of fire in a burst of heavy fire. A dense rain of bullets stirred up small columns of smoke on several heavy machine-gun positions. But it didn't work in the slightest.

The heavy machine gun is the most important weapon of Li Zuochang's battalion to resist the Russian army's crowds, and it is more important than the tactical position mortar. The fortification of its heavy machine-gun fortress was also not inferior to that of the artillery barrier.

The Russian soldiers were constantly being hit and rushing up.

One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters......

"Throw grenades!"

Luo Hu gave an order, and the officers in the front-line positions gave orders loudly. Hundreds of grenades flew out of their hands, and explosions rang out in front of the trenches. The Russian soldiers of the 5th Regiment who were put in front of the position were once again severely damaged, and they were blown down by grenades one by one!

Although the 'gray cattle' of Tsarist Russia is very forward-going and regards death as home! But the 5th Regiment fled in disarray.

This is the end of the first offensive of the Russian army. Luo Hu held the binoculars and watched the Russian army withdraw from the battlefield in embarrassment, and then he did it to the empty ammunition box under the trench.

"Let the logistics prepare some more grenades. Order all units to continue to be on alert and beware of the second attack of the Russian army! ”

The bullet grazed Luo Hu's cheek, leaving a bloody trail. During the battle, Luo Hu didn't feel any pain at all, and when this old man retreated, he suddenly felt that his face was hot.

"Vice-seater, you have a gash in your face. I'll bandage you! "The hygienist came very quickly. Li Zuochang also appeared on the front-line positions, and everywhere was seizing the time to count the casualties, and some people were also sent to the battlefield to collect rifles, ammunition, etc., abandoned by the Russian army.

It was dawn, and the stars disappeared into the morning light.

The fighting on the battlefield did not stop at all. This was the third offensive of the Russian army, consisting of a regiment of the 17th Brigade and two battalions of the 18th Brigade, with a force of 2,000 people, drowned out Wehrmacht bullets and flooded the positions of the Wehrmacht.

Li Zuochang has already added troops to the defenders on the front line. But the Russian army fought three offensive and defensive battles overnight, and the front-line defenders were seriously consumed in terms of energy and attention. This time, a part of the Russian army rushed to the position.

The grenades also failed to stop the charge of the Russians. Groups of Russian soldiers have finally poured into the Wehrmacht trenches!

Hand-to-hand combat began in this trench immediately!

Both sides are elites who dare to see red in bayonets. The Russian soldiers also have some physical advantages, and there are more of them than the soldiers of the Wehrmacht! As the Russian army jumped more and more into the trenches, the balance of victory in some areas gradually tilted like that of the Russian army. However, the tenacity of the officers and men of the 9th Division of the Wehrmacht is also rare. They didn't think about retreating at all, and there was nowhere to retreat!

The heavy machine guns of the second-line position overseers are pressing behind them! And being a prisoner doesn't have to think about it. Not to mention whether the Russians, who suffered heavy casualties, would let themselves go because they had been taken prisoner, as far as the Russians' attitude towards Wehrmacht prisoners of war was concerned, the Wehrmacht officers and men really did not dare to be prisoners after reading it in the newspapers.

This photo, name, place of origin, etc., can give all the reports of the report.

Even if he can return to China alive in the future, his face and dignity will be lost. Even families are affected by this.

The country's military salaries and fields are not so easy to get. If they are captured because of cowardice, or if they surrender voluntarily, they will even have to go to court-martials and be punished when they return to the country.

So they are fighting with their lives, completely insane, waving everything they can catch in their hands, and the only thing they think about is to put the people in front of them to death, no matter what way they do!

As for the captives......

The sound of grenades exploding from time to time could be heard in the trenches. It was a Wehrmacht soldier who had been seriously wounded, or who had reached the last moment, pulled out the grenade on his body and died with the other party!

It's not proper to die! (To be continued......)
