From the night of April 25, 1909 to the dawn of April 26, 1909, the Russian Army dispatched more than 30 divisions to launch a strong attack on the first line of defense built by the Imperial Chinese Army in the Ural Mountains regardless of casualties, paying very heavy casualties, and finally captured a small piece of the forward position of the Chinese Imperial Army, but on April 26, the sky was just dawning, and this small position was not yet hot in the hands of the Russian Army. Under the bombing of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire and the attack of the counterattack force of the Third Field Army of the Royal Army, three strikes and five divisions were lost.

In just this night, the Russian army paid at least 150,000 casualties, of which more than 120,000 were killed, and what made the commander of the Russian army, Sonokopsky, feel very annoyed that the Russian army paid such a heavy price, but it was in vain.

During the day on April 26, the five-nation coalition forces were afraid of thousands of fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, and suspended the attack on the first line of defense of the Imperial Chinese Army, otherwise it would have been like yesterday's daytime, the Russian Army dispatched three fully formed army divisions as attack troops, and as a result, in a very short period of time, they were bombed by the aerial bombs of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire and the shells of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, and it was difficult for the attacking troops to even get close to the defense line of the Chinese Empire.

The allied forces of the five countries did not attack, but the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire was not idle, and still dispatched thousands of improved Yellow Sparrow fighters and improved Blue Eagle bombers to bomb the forward positions of the coalition forces and inside and outside the city of Zwutoust. It also brought some losses to the 5-nation coalition forces.

The German, Russian, Italian, Austrian, and Turkish forces gritted their teeth and withstood a day's bombardment, after the sky darkened. Once again, the coalition forces began to storm the first fortifications of the Imperial Chinese Army in the Ural Mountains, regardless of casualties.

In addition to the Russian Army, which still dispatched dozens of army divisions to continue the offensive this night, the German Army also sent 6 divisions of elite troops. Joining the night attack were the armies of Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turks, each of which sent one or two infantry divisions to join the attack on the night of 26 April, on the orders of Commander-in-Chief Hindenburg.

After a night of fierce attack, the German, Russian, Italian, Austrian, and Turkish forces finally captured part of the forward positions of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire after paying a heavy price, but as the sky became brighter, the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire took to the air. The Royal Army counterattack troops guarding the first line of defense did not make much effort to turn all the achievements of the German, Russian, Italian, Austrian, and Turkish coalition forces into ashes and scattered with the wind, and all the forward positions lost by the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire at night were recaptured by the counterattacking forces, and then the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Army launched air raids during the day......

With the passage of time, the first line of defense of the Imperial Chinese Army in the Ural Mountains has been stormed for 7 days. Or 7 nights, but these 7 days still repeat the fixed rhythm of each day, and the cycle repeats.

During the day, the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire bombed the Five-Nation Allied Forces indiscriminately, and at night, the Five-Nation Allied Forces launched a strong attack on the positions of the Imperial Chinese Army regardless of casualties. The two sides attacked and defended until the sky became brighter, and then the counterattack force of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, with the cooperation of the Royal Air Force. The positions that the 5-nation coalition forces had managed to occupy were easily recaptured.

This fixed rhythm. It's like there's a script, and both sides have been acting according to that script.

May 2 at 9 a.m. In the underground headquarters of the 5-nation coalition army in Zwutoust City, the commander-in-chief of the coalition army, Hindenburg, looked haggard, he coughed lightly, and then said to the commanders of the other 4 countries in a somewhat sad tone: "Since April 25, it has been 7 days since our German-Russian-Italian-Austrian-Turkish allied forces launched an attack on the defense line of the Chinese Imperial Army, but our German, Russian, Italian, Austrian, and Turkish allied forces have not broken through the first line of defense built by the Chinese Imperial Army in the Ural Mountains. Not even some of the forward positions were captured, no! Or rather, it is impossible to hold the captured position! The positions captured by our coalition forces last night were all recaptured by the troops of the Chinese Empire early this morning, that is to say, our German, Russian, Italian, Austrian, and Turkish coalition forces attacked for seven days but made no progress. ”

After a pause, Hindenburg continued to mourn and said: "What makes people feel even more depressed is that not only did they not achieve any results, but the army units of our five countries also suffered very amazing losses in these 7 days, plus the losses in the daytime bombardment, our German army alone, the number of dead has reached 180,000, and even His Majesty Wilhelm II of Germany has sent a telegram urging our 5-nation coalition forces to conquer the defense line of the Chinese Empire in the Ural Mountains as soon as possible. ”

The war here in the Ural Mountains was absolutely very difficult for the five-nation coalition forces, so much so that the German Emperor Wilhelm II kept sending telegrams to Hindenburg, urging Hindenburg to break through the defense line of the Chinese Imperial Army in the Ural Mountains as soon as possible and push the war to the east of the Ural Mountains, the occupied area of the Chinese Imperial Army.

Germany's entry into this war was entirely the result of the dictatorship of the German Emperor Wilhelm II, and now Britain, France and the United States can no longer hold on, and signed an armistice agreement with the Chinese Empire, Wilhelm II in order not to let his prestige in Germany plummet, it can be said that he has made a bloody investment, and gathered nearly 1.8 million elite troops of the German army in the Ural Mountains, as well as tens of thousands of artillery pieces of various calibers, more than 400 fighters, more than 700 tanks and more than 500 armored vehicles.

However, the attack of the 5-nation coalition on the defense line of the Chinese Empire has not progressed for a long time, can Wilhelm II, who has pressed his blood capital, not be in a hurry?

However, it was useless for Wilhelm II to be anxious, in addition to increasing the pressure on Hindenburg, it did not help the battle on the front line, the defense line built by the Chinese Imperial Army in the Ural Mountains gorge and on both sides of the canyon can be regarded as extremely strong, plus the air support of the Chinese Imperial Air Force, the land forces of the 5-nation coalition used the night to attack for 7 nights in a row, and the head was hit and bleeding. At the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives, the coalition forces destroyed only a few fortifications of the Chinese Imperial defensive line. And these destroyed fortifications only need to wait until the fighters of the Chinese Empire take to the air. The coalition forces will be pushed out of the broken fortifications.

This made Hindenburg, as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, very depressed, and his anger went up, and the German Emperor Wilhelm II continued to put pressure on Hindenburg, which could only make Hindenburg more depressed and more angry.

But it's useless to get angry, Hindenburg still can't think of any way to change the current unfavorable situation, against those Chinese Imperial fighters raging in the air. There is really no good way, the air forces of the five countries do not need to be delusional, and the air defense weapons of the armies of the five countries can play a very little role in the offensive, and Hindenburg thinks of a pile of mush in his head, and he cannot think of any way to turn the current situation of the war.

Russian Army Commander Sonokokossky said in a deep voice: "We can't fight like this anymore, as of now, our Russian Army has lost nearly 900,000 troops." The morale of the various group armies has dropped very low, and we must think of other methods, otherwise maybe our five-nation coalition army has not yet captured the three defense lines built by the Chinese Imperial Army in the Ural Mountains, and our millions of troops will be exhausted! ”

Russia for this big war. Absolutely desperate, just 7 days after the outbreak of the war here in the Ural Mountains, Tsar Nicholas II put another 100,000 new Russian army units. Transferred to the city of Zwutoust, but it was a tragic offensive and defensive battle. Coupled with the bombing of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, the Russian Army was replenished at a faster rate. Far less than the speed of losses, in the past seven days, the number of dead in the Russian Army has exceeded 750,000, and there are more than 100,000 wounded in the Russian Army.

Although the commander of the Russian Army, Sonokopsky, has been a little numb to the number of casualties, but in such a short period of time, such a large loss has been produced, and Sonokopsky, a veteran of the battlefield who has seen a lot of life and death, is also a little unbearable, after all, the losses are so large, the defense line of the Chinese Empire in the Ural Mountains is still firmly in the hands of the Chinese Imperial Army.

Tsar Nicholas II also kept sending telegrams to Sonokopsky for the great battle in the Ural Mountains, urging him to quickly overcome the defense line of the Chinese Imperial Army, and Tsar Nicholas II also claimed in the telegram that the hopes of the whole Russian Empire were pinned on Sonokopski, which put Sonokopski's pressure even greater than that of Hindenburg.

Hannaverde, the commander of the Italian Army, sighed and said: "If we can think of other ways, our five-nation coalition forces do not need to launch such a strong attack regardless of casualties, air supremacy is in the hands of the Chinese Imperial Air Force, we can not think of any other way except to attack at night." ”

The commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army, Gloria, and the commander of the Ottoman Imperial Turkish Army, Bajirja, both sighed.

In the previous attack on the defense line of the Chinese Empire, as well as the bombing of the 5-nation coalition forces by the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, the land forces of Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire also lost tens of thousands of people each, although the losses were much less than those of the Russian Army, but the three commanders were also very distressed, the key is that the attack for a few days is equal to no progress, and the lost troops are lost in vain.

The five-nation coalition army has lost so many land units, and it would be said that it would be said that it would be past if it could achieve some results, but now the entire area of the first line of defense of the Chinese imperial army is still under the control of the Chinese imperial army, which makes the five commanders of the coalition army say that they are as depressed as they are.

Hindenburg coughed, cleared his throat and said: "Now that our five countries have been forced to this point by this war, and we can't think of any other way, then we can only continue to attack tonight, and the army units of each country will launch a fierce attack according to their respective allocated areas, regardless of the cost!" If the attacking troops enter the positions of the Chinese Empire, the follow-up troops must follow up as quickly as possible, enter the captured positions of the Chinese Empire, use the original fortifications of the Chinese Empire's positions, form our own defensive front, and do our best to hold these captured positions of the Chinese Empire after dawn, otherwise our daily attacks will become a fixed pattern. ”

From the fifth day after the start of the attack, the five-nation coalition divided the nearly 10-kilometer-long Chinese Imperial defense line into five sections of different sizes, which were assigned to the land forces of the five countries, and according to the strength of the armies of the five countries gathered in the Ural Mountains, the longest section of the Chinese Imperial defense line was assigned to the Russian Army, followed by the Chinese Imperial Defense Line of the German Army, followed by the Austro-Hungarian Army, the Ottoman Turkish Army, and the Italian Army.

The reason why the commanders of the five-nation coalition forces did this was because during the offensive a few days ago, when the Russian army and the German army launched an attack on the same small section of the Chinese imperial defense line, there was confusion due to the lack of unity of command.

The other 4 commanders looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, Hindenburg's words are easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, otherwise the troops of the 5-nation coalition will not attack for 7 days, and they are still in an embarrassing stalemate, but what makes people very helpless is that it seems that now in addition to this method of attacking, their 5-nation coalition forces have no other good ideas in the face of the Chinese imperial defense line with absolute air superiority, and the 5-nation coalition forces cannot retreat from this, and the heavy bets of the 5 countries, Basically, all of them were pressed on the battle in the Ural Mountains, and the other 4 commanders knew that they could only grit their teeth and persevere, hoping for a miracle.

Compared with the five coalition commanders who were worried, the five main army commanders of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire guarding the first line of defense in the Ural Mountains were in a very happy mood.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning on May 2, Ni Fan, commander of the Third Guards Army, found the temporary headquarters of the Third Guards Army by taking the other four army commanders guarding the first line of defense, Deng Zichao, commander of the Third Field Army, Hu Desheng, commander of the Fourth Field Army, Yu Lichen, commander of the Ninth Field Army, and Xie Jun, commander of the Tenth Field Army.

Ni Fan said with a smile on his face: "Hehe, this morning, with the support of the Royal Air Force, our counterattack force once again recaptured the position lost last night, last night plus this morning, we have at least wiped out more than 100,000 troops of the 5-nation coalition army, and the loss of our entire forward position plus the counterattack force is less than 5,000 people, so if we continue to fight, maybe we only need our first line of defense to consume the millions of army troops of the 5-nation coalition army!" (To be continued.) )
