The soldier raised his head, looked at the umbrella flower in the air and said, "How do I know Lu Dao, I am not the Air Force." Although no positive answer was given, Colonel Kusjak found a man hanging from under the umbrella, apparently the pilot of the downed plane.

Seeing this parachute slowly drifting towards the ground, Colonel Kusyak's heart was on fire, if the Cossack Empire also equipped these pilots with such equipment, how could he risk death and choose to make a forced landing, if there was such equipment, his pilots could die a lot less, but unfortunately he didn't know about the road, and the air forces of the countries on the Western Continent didn't know that there was such a thing as a parachute.

The Cossack air force in the air has been completely suppressed, and the artillery on the ground has also been suppressed, and the Cossack army can only brave the threat of artillery fire and use the light weapons in their hands to shoot at the Wehrmacht who are crossing the river one after another.

There is no good way for any country to force the river crossing, and in the battle, they can only choose to pave the way to cross the river with their flesh and blood, otherwise the rivers everywhere will not become natural barriers.

Although it is a common practice in all countries in the world to use the continuous sacrifice of troops to obtain the opportunity to cross the river, under the guidance of Fang Xiaoyu's idea that he will never sacrifice a soldier in vain, the commanders of the Chinese army are not accustomed to using the death of soldiers to push for victory, and seeing that the two battalions that were the vanguard assault have suffered more than half of the casualties, the two army commanders immediately stopped crossing the river.

Night had fallen, Cai Tingyuan and Wang Zhen sat in the command and were a little worried, and after radio contact, they learned that the river crossing was not smooth everywhere, and none of the attack points could get enough support points on the opposite bank.

"If you don't report it, ask for an incendiary bomb." Cai Tingyuan was the first to think of the invincible incendiary bombs of the Chinese army.

Wang Zhen shook his head and said: "Use incendiary bombs for such a small battle, if you want to be scolded by the young master, I think it's better to think of other ways." ”

Cai Tingyuan sighed and said, "If only the special artillery regiment of the Iron Blood Army was here." "The attack of the special artillery regiment on Kyushu Island has long been spread among the senior officers, and everyone is full of curiosity about this special weapon, and they are also very yearning for its terrifying lethality.

Wang Zhen pursed his lips and said, "Forget it, I heard that that weapon is easy to cause public anger in the world, and it is easier to be scolded than an incendiary bomb." ”

Cai Tingyuan grabbed his military hat, scratched his head and said: "As long as I can cross the river, I would rather be scolded, the question is how to cross the river now." ”

Wang Zhen sighed and said, "If only my chariot could be swept through the water." ”

Hearing Wang Zhen's words, Cai Tingyuan suddenly said, "That's right, oil drums." ”

As soon as Cai Tingyuan's words came out, Wang Zhen hadn't reacted yet, he asked rhetorically: "Oil drum, what oil drum?" ”

Cai Tingyuan said: "Although your chariot can't drain water, those empty oil drums can float on the water." The rubber boats used by the fighters leaked as soon as they were hit, and those empty oil drums did not. Let's collect more oil drums and tie them into large rafts to cross the river, so that we can set up machine gun fire and completely suppress the Cossacks on the other side of the river. ”

"That's right." Wang Zhen patted his thigh and said, "Good way, I'll go and mobilize empty oil barrels, and let's smuggle in at night." ”

The Wehrmacht soon made elaborate preparations, they tied dozens of large oil drums together, attached them to wooden frames, laid wide planks, and a rather large raft was ready. The current in the Lena River was very small, and the Wehrmacht soldiers were not afraid that the raft would be too heavy and overturned by the current, but on the contrary, the raft was large enough that they even carried the infantry guns on it.

Having organized the manpower, the fighters of a regiment again began to cross the river, this time without artillery preparations, in order not to alarm the other side. A group of infantry fighters set up machine guns and mortars, silently sliding the huge raft, slowly moving towards the opposite bank.

The raft gradually approached the opposite bank, and the Cossack position was getting closer and closer, and the sound of the soldiers' wooden oars entering the water quickly alarmed the Cossacks, and some of the Cossack soldiers immediately turned on their searchlights, and under the snowy light, the raft on the river surface was exposed.

Fierce gunfire rang out again, and the Cossacks all began to shoot desperately at the river. The machine guns on several rafts opened fire at the same time, quickly extinguishing the searchlights of the other side, but the smuggling was already exposed, and it could only be turned into a forced crossing. The rafts were full of fire, and dense machine-gun fire strafed the opposite bank, and mortar shells fell on the Cossacks' positions, preventing them from concentrating on their shots.

The raft was not far from the opposite shore, and with a small jolt, the raft had gently hit the dirt on the shore. Several fighters jumped into knee-deep water, fastened the raft to the shore, and the fighters behind immediately jumped ashore and rushed into the positions of the Cossacks with rifles loaded with bayonets.

The Cossacks were in the trenches by the river, and when the Wehrmacht soldiers jumped into the trenches, the Cossacks who were shooting at the river turned their guns, but before they could pull the bolt and load the next bullet, the Wehrmacht soldiers with semi-automatic rifles shot the Cossacks down one after another.

The fierce firepower took advantage of the melee combat, and the squad leaders with Type 03 submachine guns showed their skills, and under their intensive strafing fire, the Cossack soldiers in the trenches fell to the ground, and although there were only a few hundred fighters ashore, they quickly took control of a section of the riverbank.

"Artillery fire covers, follow-up troops continue to attack." Seeing the fire on the opposite bank, Cai Tingyuan knew that he had succeeded, and he immediately ordered the follow-up troops to row on rubber boats to support. The Cossacks in the dark had a hard time finding their targets, while the Wehrmacht fighters with rapid-fire weapons were able to inflict a local advantage over a short distance, and the Cossacks were gradually defeated.

Without the fire on the riverbank, a large number of rubber boats successfully crossed the river, more and more soldiers rushed onto the riverbank, as many infantry guns were transported across the river by rafts, the Wehrmacht river-crossing troops bombarded the Cossack soldiers who retreated to the second line of defense with superior firepower, and some fighters formed small detachments to boldly penetrate into the deep area, causing the entire Cossack position to be in chaos.

At this time, the Cossacks were completely confused, they did not know where the enemy was and where to shoot, they only felt that there were bullets flying on all sides, and everywhere there was a threat of death. Shells exploded in the vicinity, piercing the chests of their teammates, and the fierce Cossack soldiers were finally frightened, and they had to retreat from contact with the Wehrmacht.

The artillery of the Chinese Army was firing rapidly, relying on the ruler that measured the good during the day, and the artillery at all levels desperately fired shells at the Cossack positions, covering the entire opponent's positions in a burst of fire.

In the midst of the scuffle, it was soon dawning. After daylight, the Wehrmacht quickly built pontoon bridges using the rafts, and the troops quickly crossed the river and quickly broke through the Cossack defenses.

With a slight breakthrough, Wang Zhen and Cai Tingyuan soon sent troops to the flanks to support friendly troops in crossing the river, the Cossack army's defense along the river was crushed, and hundreds of thousands of Wehrmacht troops quickly crossed the Lena River.

The swift Wehrmacht did not give the other side a chance, and under the rapid assault in depth, the 400,000 Cossack troops, who did not have time to completely withdraw from the defensive line, were surrounded in the city of Yakutsk.

The central part of the Lena line was lost, but this did not completely shake the Cossack line, on the contrary, this place became a dangerous salient, and if the Chinese army could not take the city of Yakutsk as soon as possible, the troops who had already crossed the river were likely to be driven down the river.

In the face of Cossack reinforcements rushing from all directions, the Chinese army not only had to attack the city, but also divided its troops to block the Cossacks who came to help, and the battle was extremely fierce.

The Eighteenth Army of the Wehrmacht was located in a hilly area at the southern foot of the Verkhnyyansk Mountains, holding back the attack of the five Cossack corps. Since the air forces of both sides were concentrated in the Yakutsk region, a purely land war broke out on both sides on various blocking battlefields.

The roaring explosions were incessant, and the soldiers of the 18th Army withstood the attack of the opponent's superior artillery fire and stubbornly held the road to the city of Yakutsk, and the hills on both sides of the road became the main points of contention between the two sides. Although the firepower of the Cossack Corps was lower than that of the Wehrmacht, the opposing side had five corps after all, and after the concentrated use of artillery, it was still many times larger than one corps of the Wehrmacht.

The Cossacks covered the entire heights with intensive artillery fire, and the Wehrmacht artillery was not to be outdone, using anti-slope positions, launching a counterattack with howitzers and mortars. Crowds of Cossack soldiers charged with rifles, and on the high ground that had been blown up in smoke and dust, Captain Huo Jiucheng climbed out of the mound with difficulty, and he had just been buried by the soil kicked up by the Cossack artillery.

Looking at the cloud of smoke and dust around him, he shouted: "Prepare for battle, the enemy is coming soon." Hearing the shout of the deputy battalion commander, the fighters hiding in the anti-artillery holes entered the position one after another, and some of the fighters who were holding on to the position also crawled out of the mound and found their weapons, and then all the fighters took out the sapper shovel and dug up the trench that was already half shallow, and the artillery fire just now had cut off the entire position.

"The enemy is coming up, fire quickly, fire." The battalion commander Guo Cheng waved the Beretta pistol in his hand and shouted loudly, all the soldiers immediately dropped the sapper shovel when they heard the order, and picked up their weapons, and the strafing of machine gun fire quickly covered a large area in front of the position, knocking down several Cossack soldiers who had just straightened up to the ground, and the other Cossack soldiers immediately lay on the ground when they saw this, shooting desperately.

The two sides engaged in fierce fire, and the last was the superior light weapons of the Wehrmacht, and the Cossacks, though numerous, were crowded into the small area around the small heights, and no amount of troops could spread out, and in the nearby area there were eight small heights under the control of the Wehrmacht, where fierce fighting was going on.
