Chapter 483: The Siege Battle Begins

In the command room of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army in the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk, the words of Joyles, the commander of the entire coalition army, were heard, and the commander of the British Army, Korenhardt, asked: "Are we just preparing for street fighting?" Are you going to launch a counterattack on the positions outside the city tonight? ”

Joyls shook his head helplessly and said: "Now that all the positions outside the city have been lost, we don't even have a counterattack outside the city www.biquge.info the counterattack has become very difficult, and we can recapture some positions outside the city, tomorrow during the day, the troops guarding the positions outside the city will experience the same encounter as today, and the recaptured positions still have to be lost, so it is better for us to concentrate on preparing for street fighting!" ”

The Russian commander Nikanorovich said excitedly: "We have been preparing in the eastern city for a long time, and even dug a number of tunnels under the city, and built every house into a bunker, and built trenches on every street, we have established a full range of firepower points from the roof to the ground, plus our hundreds of thousands of troops, we will definitely make the Dingbei army in the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk, head bleeding." ”

Collenhardt frowned and said, "But our British army has just arrived here, and we are not very familiar with the situation in the East City, so if we start street fighting, our British army may have a lot of difficulties." ”

Joyls nodded and said: "I have considered this aspect, your British Army will be in reserve, guarding near the railway bridge, and we will send some guides to your British Army, where you need support, the guides will take you there." ”

Korenhardt nodded in agreement. Joyls then continued: "The next street fighting must be very fierce, and I hope you will warn the officers below. This battle is the decisive battle of our eight-nation alliance in this war, and we must carry out this street battle in the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk with the utmost sacrifice. Any officer or soldier who escapes from the battle will be subject to battlefield discipline, and if there is no order to retreat, even if there is one person left, he must also hold his position, and if our eight-nation alliance loses even the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk, then it will be necessary to blow up the railway bridge over the Yenisei River, and then it will be difficult to counterattack the area east of the Yenisei River. ”

The other four commanders looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Everyone knows what it means to hold the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk.

Joyls finally cheered up: "We still have 560,000 troops in the east city, enough to hold out in the street fighting for a long time, and we are not alone, there are still 150,000 Russian troops in the west city, and at the same time, our France, as well as Britain, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, are all sending troops to Russia, as long as we can hold on, these troops will definitely come to support us." There's also good news, let General Nikanorovich talk about it! ”

A smile appeared on Nikanorovich's face, which had been tense, and said: "Our Russian Tsar, Your Majesty, knowing our difficulties here, has ordered 250,000 troops of the 12th Army, which has just arrived in the border area between Kazakhstan and Siberia. Advance to our Krasnoyarsk city and come to support us in resisting the attack of the Dingbei army. ”

Originally, the Russians were going to use this newly formed 12th Army, as well as the 8th Army of the Russian Army in the above-mentioned border area. Waiting for an opportunity to counterattack into the regions of Kazakhstan occupied by the Dingbei Army, the Russians also considered the city of Krasnoyarsk. In particular, the importance of the Eastern Fortress, which was already the only Russian foothold in the area east of the Yenisei River. If lost, a counteroffensive east of the Yenisei River will be extremely difficult.

After all, it was already more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not long before it got dark.

However, the troops attacking the Dingbei Army were not idle, and immediately began to strengthen the positions they had already seized to prevent the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the city from launching a counteroffensive at night, after all, the fighters of the Northeast Air Force could not be lifted into the air at night, so that the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance could suffer a lot less bombs, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides was also pulled in, unlike the one-sided situation where there were fighters to help the battle.

In the general headquarters of the five field armies of the Dingbei Army, more than 20 kilometers outside the east of Krasnoyarsk City, several commanders of the field army showed smiles on their faces, after all, they captured the entire position outside the city in one day, wiped out hundreds of thousands of troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and suffered less than 15,000 casualties themselves.

Wang Hongjun, the commander of the First Field Army, smiled like a flower on his face, "Haha, although we expected to capture the entire position outside the city in one day, it has really become a reality, and it is really exciting!" What other troops in the world can resist the attack of our Dingbei Army, haha, it is not an exaggeration to say that our Dingbei Army is the strongest army in the world! ”

Zhang Limin, the commander of the Second Field Army, nodded and said with a smile: "In the face of the land forces of several relatively powerful countries in the world today, we only dispatched less than 180,000 troops today, and annihilated more than 250,000 troops of these countries at a relatively small cost, and we still attacked, they defended, such a record can really be regarded as the strongest in the world, but Lao Wang, we still have half of the city below us that we need to attack, and the strength of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk must be at least 4 or 500,000, which is a hard bone." A street fight is inevitable. ”

Deng Zichao, commander of the Third Field Army, continued: "We also have to guard against the counteroffensive of the Eight-Nation Alliance on the positions outside the city tonight. ”

At this time, Duan Qirui, the commander of the Sixth Field Army, shook his head and said: "If I were the commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance, I would not have done this thankless thing, that is, they spent a lot of effort at night to capture part of the positions outside the city, and tomorrow it may not take more than one hour, we can recapture the position with the cooperation of the fighters, it is better to concentrate our forces to defend the east city." ”

Wang Hongjun said with a smile: "No matter how hard the bones are, our five field armies will definitely gnaw them down, and our artillery and air force have prepared so many shells and bombs, but they are all reserved for this eastern city." Regardless of whether the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance launch a counterattack tonight, the troops on the positions outside the city will be on increased alert, and the artillery units will be ready to provide fire support at any time. In addition, let the troops who are preparing to attack the city tomorrow have a good rest tonight, and there will be a tough battle waiting for them tomorrow! ”

At night, the Eight-Nation Alliance in the city was not without action, and under the orders of the entire coalition commander Joyles, the artillery unit of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which had been holding back for a day, used hundreds of artillery pieces of different calibers in the city to shell the positions outside the city.

Joyce ordered the artillery bombardment not to prepare to send infantry to counterattack later, but for the sake of morale, after all, let the aircraft and artillery of the Dingbei Army press and fight during the day, and the morale of the armies of various countries in the entire eastern city is already very low, and now taking advantage of the night, let the artillery units bombard, which can be regarded as a way to improve morale.

However, the Dingbei Army is not used to him, you say that if you improve morale, you will improve morale! When the artillery of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the city began to shell, the artillery unit of the Dingbei Army, which had moved forward, immediately launched a suppressive shelling, according to the coordinates calculated by the artillery observers, the artillery position of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the east city was a bombardment, and then the artillery of the Eight-Nation Alliance did not do it, and during the day, the artillery of your Dingbei Army had a helper who opened an external plug-in, and now it is dark, your helper is not there, and you dare to be so arrogant, so the two sides launched an artillery battle at night.

However, the artillery of the Eight-Nation Alliance, in the fierce fighting a few days ago and in today's daytime engagement, still suffered heavy losses, and as a result, it did not take long for it to be completely suppressed by the artillery units of the Dingbei Army, which had a superior number of guns, and some of the artillery was blown up, and some of them stopped firing after moving their positions.

After a short artillery battle, both sides stopped, and there was no exchange of fire in the night, waiting for a tragic offensive and defensive battle the next day!

Early in the morning of 21 June, at a temporary airfield more than 100 kilometers east of Krasnoyarsk, more than 200 Yellow Sparrow fighters and more than 120 Blue Eagle bombers of the Northeast Air Force all took off one after another, and then flew over the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk to bomb the cities below.

At this time, the ordinary Russian people in the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk have already evacuated, so there is no need to worry about bringing too many casualties to the civilians, but war is war, that is, the nearly 100,000 Russian civilians in the eastern city do not evacuate, and the fighters of the Northeast Air Force will still throw bombs when they should throw bombs, and they will never drop one less bomb.

After most of the planes dropped the bombs, the fighters in the sky who had dropped the bombs flew to the direction of the temporary airfield, leaving only 3 formations of 36 Yellow Sparrow fighters that did not drop bombs, continuing to hover in the sky, this is to guard against the artillery of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the city, once the artillery in the city fires, these 36 Yellow Sparrow fighters will attack the artillery positions in the city.

After most of the fighters flew away, thousands of artillery pieces of the Dingbei Army began to shell the eastern city, and the time of this shelling was very long, and after waiting for more than one hour, those fighters who had reloaded their bombs and returned flew to the sky above the eastern city again, and the shelling was not over this time.
