Chapter 260: Defeating the Russian Army
"It's called Mao, Lao Maozi's firepower is so fierce, where can the artillery group take care of all the battlefields." Lu Tianwen roared impatiently, in the case of the superiority of Tsarist artillery, the firepower of the Northeast Army will be suppressed, and he wants to save himself under the bombardment of the other party, and takes care that the difficulty of the battlefield is not ordinarily high, Lu Tianwen has participated in several battles, and he is clear about the things inside.
As he spoke, a long-awaited roar was heard in the air.
"Planes, our planes are coming!"
A row of sparse small black dots in the sky gradually enlarged, but the morale of all the soldiers of the Northeast Army suddenly rose.
The roar grew louder and louder, and in the other direction, a row of small black dots also appeared.
The bombers of the two squads, under the advancement of time, the sound of the aircraft was faintly visible in the air, and they reached the top of the Tsarist army without any hindrance.
"So many cannons, go die!" In the sky, He Yingdong saw the undisguised artillery group below, and took the planes behind him to descend and drop bombs.
At this time, there were no air defense facilities in Asia, and there was almost zero research on how to increase the camouflage of artillery groups in advance to evade enemy bombardment.
Boom boom...
Huge fires and black smoke rose over the Russian positions. Then, before He Yingdong and others continued to drop bombs, a louder explosion sounded from the artillery position of the road protection army. A purgatory of fire and black smoke was formed below.
"Zhao Luxiang, you daredevil, don't waste the bombs, continue to look for other targets!" He Yingdong has the title of miser in the flying team, He Yingdong is a master who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles, and never wastes extra bullets and aerial bombs when performing tasks.
Zhilu said. What a team! Over there, Zhao Luxiang made a clear gesture.
In the previous battle, most of the artillery fire of the road escort army was exposed, and under the siege of the aircraft group, there were suddenly heavy casualties, and it was difficult to protect itself, so don't think about taking care of the battlefield and providing fire support for the infantry. The few surviving convoy artillerymen were panicked and discarded their artillery to escape. However, the heavenly fleet will not let these artillery officers leave easily.
More than 20 planes were firing with aerial machine guns in waves, and the airtight bullets made it a luxury for those who wanted to escape.
"Ha Luha, that's great, give Lao Tzu a fight, shoot all the shells out, you must let these old Maozi know that they are powerful!" Jiang Chengxuan was pressed and beaten by Lao Maozi's artillery and superior forces before, and he was holding back a belly of fire, and now the Tsarist Russian artillery was blown up by the aircraft group in the northeast, where is there still the effort to conduct an artillery battle with the artillery of the 11th Division. The artillery regiment of the 11th Division, which had been suppressed before, was in full swing at this time, and it seemed to vent the resentment that arose when it was suppressed before.
The rumbling sound of artillery fire continued, and more than 20 planes dropped bombs from the air, while the position of the Northeast Army was relatively calm, the originally solid front of the road protection army was covered with gunpowder smoke.
Some of the shells landed in the open space, blowing up small craters, and shrapnel scraped fine marks on the hard ground. There were also a lot of shells that landed in the dense formation of the road guards. The artillery regiment of the 11th division was only probabilistic bombing, although at this time there were no bomb sights. However, the preparation for dropping aerial bombs from the sky was much more accurate than that of artillery, and several planes flew by one after another, and there were always one or two shells that landed in the dense escort army.
All the guards lay on their stomachs, lest they would be killed by the shrapnel raging in the air.
"God, too, it's terrible. The Northeast Army is even more terrible than the Japanese army! At this time, some veterans who had participated in the Russo-Japanese War on the battlefield were lying on the ground, enduring the discomfort caused by the ground shaking, muttering incessantly, during the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army gave people the deepest impression that they fought like madmen and did not want to die. In the face of the machine guns of Tsarist Russia, the artillery did not hesitate to launch a cluster charge, dying wave after wave, as if there was no end. Especially after the defeat of the Tsarist Russian Navy, the sea power was controlled by the Japanese army, a large number of siege artillery and Canon artillery were transported to the battlefield, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, thousands of artillery pieces, that kind of scene, I have not experienced it, it is really difficult to express in words.
However, in the face of the madness of the Japanese army, as long as Tsarist Russia held its position and relied on its own weapons and equipment, it could always inflict a large number of casualties on the Japanese army. The Russian soldiers still had the upper hand in the stabs. Even if they lost the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian soldiers never felt that the Japanese army was invincible, as long as the weapons and ammunition were sufficient and the food supply was in place, the Japanese army could be defeated and retreated. However, the scene of the sky collapsing in front of them made these Tsarist soldiers feel a sense of powerlessness, and the heavenly fleet made them unable to think of any way to resist. He could only passively lie on the ground and be bombed, praying that the plane would not come to his side and that the bomb would not be dropped next to him. The rifle in his hand, the bullets seem to have become superfluous.
"Kill!" After nearly half an hour of overwhelming bombardment, the threat of heavy Russian fire had basically been eliminated, and in another round of artillery bombardment, the soldiers of the 11th Division charged the position of the road escort army in one and a half regiments.
"Get up, quickly, don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, the shells of the Northeast Army are almost finished, and the plane has flown away! Let those arrogant Northeast Army see how powerful we are. A small number of officers were also shocked in the annihilating scene just now, and there was still a faint tremor in their tones when they reprimanded the frightened soldiers.
"Fuck, just talk about it and don't practice, if you have the ability, you can rush up and try it yourself." Some of the soldiers of the road guard force held back the anger in their hearts, and at this time, the Northeast army was killed, and they had to cheer up again to resist, if they were beaten by the Northeast army, they really couldn't help themselves.
"Quick, machine gun! Shoot these damn Northeast Army! ”
"Chevsky, you son of a bitch, hurry up!" The officers of the road guard army are like a living Xinhua dictionary of scolding, and any kind of ugly words can be spit out of the other party's mouth without looking it up.
"Here we go again, the planes of the Northeast Army are here again!" A roar in the air is heard. The road guards who tried their best to resist the offensive of the Northeast Army couldn't help but feel a chill, in the absence of fighter planes, in the face of such a sharp weapon, they were just a flock of lambs to be slaughtered!
"The Northeast will win!" The pain of the enemy is the happiness of the Northeast Army, and after the previous bombardment, a gap has been forcibly opened in the position of the road guards. It is beyond the power of manpower to save, although the strength of the 11th Division is inferior to the defensive road guard, but the momentum is overwhelming, and it has overwhelmed the Russian army in momentum, with more than 10,000 soldiers, boundless and shoreless, and the 11th Division is already a full division, with more than 10,000 troops directly participating in the battle. With the fire support of the artillery regiment, more than a dozen flat-fire guns also appeared one after another in the arrow unit with the strongest attack power.
Sudden Sudden Burst...
The heavy machine guns of the Escort Army put up the most resistance at the end of the day.
"Quick. Push the cannon up! "The heavy machine guns of Tsarist Russia in front have become a roadblock, although the previous bombardment gave a large number of casualties to the Tsarist army, and the number of people who directly lost the combat effectiveness of Tsarist Russia was close to two or three thousand, such a loss rate is quite terrifying, and the war will continue to be fought later, according to the offensive intensity of the Northeast Army at this time, it is not difficult to break through four thousand, which means that the strength of the road protection army. Support takes less than four or five days, of course. It is impossible to reach this level of fierceness all the time, but the current situation in front of us is almost desperate, and almost any officer of the road escort army with a little brain can predict that a large number of deserters will appear in a few days, and no one will want to send them to death.
THE POWER OF THE 37MM FLAT-FIRE GUN WAS NOWHERE NEAR AS STRONG AS THE 75MM MOUNTAIN GUN, NOT TO MENTION THE FIELD ARTILLERY. However, its light weight is more convenient to move, for the Northeast Army at this time. will be an extremely important infantry support firepower. After all, after the artillery regiment was replenished, there were only 54 cannons, 1 field artillery battalion, and 2 mountain artillery battalions. The number of cannons is limited, and it is not suitable for the big guys who want to use them as infantry support firepower. Before the cannon could reach its destination, the enemy might have already hit it. What's more, the 75MM gun can't be aimed quickly, like the 37MM flat-firing gun can hit there when pushed there, and there is no need to aim at all, and the target is basically not running.
With a thud, the Russian soldiers, along with the machine guns, disintegrated in the explosion and became disconnected parts, unable to be pieced together.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the 11th Division, who had just been suppressed by the Russian heavy machine gunners, jumped up from the ground and once again launched the last wave of attacks on the road guards who had begun to retreat.
Horvat once had high hopes for the Acheng defense line, after all, Harbin was his territory for many years, and the current situation forced him to temporarily withdraw his troops, but Horvat did not want to withdraw too far, and Dmipov had agreed to join forces with him to fight the Northeast Army under the Japanese rubbing. Horvat thought about staying in Harbin with some soldiers, holding out for a period of time based on a strong defense, and then Demipov joined forces to fight back in Harbin. Harbin's geographical location is too important to be missed. Otherwise, once the Northeast Army occupies it and wants to recapture it, I am afraid that it will not be enough for all the more than 20,000 road guards in his hands to fill in.
It's just that the situation in Harbin is already precarious, and the two armored trains sent to stir up the situation have also gone and never returned, and now they have lost contact, as long as they are not fools, they can know that the armored train will probably never come back.
The road protection army defending in the area of Acheng, at this time under the combined attack of intertwined firepower in the air and the ground, the road protection army gradually became weak, the Tsarist Russian army in the area of Taipingling was first overwhelmed, and began to retreat after paying huge losses, the Russian army in the area of Zhuchangtun also resisted the fierce offensive of the Northeast Army, and held the position dangerously, but the right flank of Taipingling was repulsed, and the Tsarist Russian army in Zhuchangtun had to retreat gloomily, otherwise the Northeast Army on the Taipingling side would come over, and they would become the same lone army as Harbin. To be surrounded by the Northeast Army, Harbin still has fortifications to rely on, and apart from a few low hills, what else can resist the aircraft and artillery of the Northeast Army?
His happiness is always based on the pain of the enemy, and the road guards here were beaten and retreated, retreating all the way back for a hundred miles, and only temporarily stabilized their positions when they reached Mao'er Mountain, but only before it became dark. The Northeast Army bombed it again, and the distance between Maoershan and Harbin was less than 100 kilometers, and it took less than an hour to fly at the speed of a beacon fire, so it was natural to come and go easily.
"Liang Zhongjia captured two armored trains? There are more than 2,000 Tsarist Russian soldiers in two? And good, great. Qin Yu, who was dressed in a military coat, stood on the snow with thick fur boots and stroked his palms and smiled.
"The Russian troops in Harbin have become boiled ducks. Coupled with the results of the battle on the Acheng side, nearly 3,000 people were captured by the prisoners alone, and the road guards retreated for nearly 100 miles one after another to stabilize their positions. Hearing the frequent good news on the front, Chen Tao was also in a very good mood, "If the Russian army on Vladivostok does not come over, it is estimated that this battle will be about the same time as the marshal entering Jilin and Heilongjiang." Lao Maozi is nothing more than that. ”
"It can't be said that Lao Maozi's armored train is something that is not available in the Northeast, although it is quite limited, but it is the result of the suppression of ground forces. In addition, the tactics and fighting will of the road guards in the course of the operation are not comparable to the Jilin army. Qin Yu shook his head and said, "The fortification group in Harbin also has a lot of commendability, even if it is a failure, it has advantages." The Northeast Army must face up to the enemy's merits. in order to become a qualified strong army, not an arrogant army. ”
"The big marshal is right. The arrogant army will be defeated. Chen Tao nodded convincingly, he had been with Qin Yu for so long, and he knew that Qin Yu's achievements so far, whether it was wealth or power, had reached the peak of the Republic of China, but he had never seen how Qin Yu gained power and became arrogant. The current Qin Yu is still the same person as the one he was loyal to a few years ago.
"You have done a good job this time to get the drawings of the Russian fortifications in Harbin, continue to increase the degree of penetration into Russia, and there are quite a few Russians who have emigrated to the northeast, because of the color of their skin. It is difficult for the spies of our Republic of China to enter the Western countries, but these Russians have no such worries. The main direction is still Russia. Cleaning up his mood, Qin Yu's hand was behind his back and said in a solemn voice.
"Marshal, Russia is now a mess, and the chaos of the situation is still worse than that of the Republic of China, and the biggest enemy of the Republic of China has always been Japan?" Chen Tao was a little puzzled.
"It is precisely because of the chaotic situation in Russia that it is easy to mix people into it, and Japan is only an island country, and there are few people on the ridge. No matter how poor and weak the Republic of China is, as long as the country completes reunification and develops with peace of mind for a few years, it will have enough capital for self-protection. Once Russia completes reunification, its potential will not be slightly weaker than that of the Republic of China, and because of its vast land and abundant resources, it will be enough to become a great power that can threaten the foundation of the Republic of China. Future wars, in the case of similar technology, will consume the comprehensive strength of a country, and Japan will not be strong in terms of industry, population, food, energy, resources, etc. Russia's comprehensive resources are even more superior than those of the Republic of China and even in some aspects, and having such a big country directly bordering on it is the biggest opponent of the Republic of China in the future. Due to the need for intelligence in the future, in front of Chen Tao, Qin Yu did not hide his truest thoughts in his heart, "Japan seems to have invaded the sovereignty of the Republic of China the most, but in fact, from the end of the former dynasty to the present, it is Russia that has invaded the territory of the Republic of China the most." ”
"It seems that the big marshal intends to regain the lost ground." Chen Tao said with a smile.
"Who knows what will happen in the future, maybe I won't be able to count on the next generation in my lifetime. We must work harder now to accumulate some family foundation for them, and it is good that they grow up like us, and they have to be people with their tails between their tails when they see the powers at their own doorsteps. Qin Yu sighed.
"Dashuai is in the prime of life, only five or six years, has been Fengtian governance to such an extent, and now he holds the three eastern provinces, Recha, about to recover the Middle East Road, there are still decades to go, the future of the Northeast does not know what progress will become, no need for the next generation, according to the current situation, not to mention the slaughter of Russia and the destruction of Japan, at least with Japan and Russia should not be a big problem." Chen Tao is very confident in Qin Yu, the patrol battalion at the end of the Qing Dynasty, in the face of the Japanese army, the Russian army is not inferior, although the Japanese army is still stationed in the Northeast, but even the ordinary people in the Northeast are no longer as afraid as before, not to mention the Northeast Army, which is increasingly strong in war. The army controlled by Qin Yu has increased from the original 27 divisions to two mixed brigades, and now has more than a dozen divisions, and its strength has increased tenfold. At present, the size of the Northeast Army, not to mention ten times, will increase by two or three times, and it will have the strength to shake Japan's foundation in the Northeast.
"There are some things that you have to say less and do more, I think so, but it is difficult to practice, and the pinch on your shoulder is not light." Qin Yu didn't want to go any further on this issue.
"Don't worry, because of the previous intelligence for spying on Tsarist Russia, the Intelligence Bureau has developed some eyeliner in Russia, and with a certain foundation, it is not difficult to insert more people in." Chen Tao nodded, with the war and famine in Russia, more and more Russians poured into the Northeast to seek a living, many of whom were desperate from poor families, and Chen Tao had a lot to choose from. In addition, there are many Russians who have entered the northeast and there are once powerful people, and some of these people's knowledge of Russia is also very valuable, and Harbin's previous defense intelligence was obtained through this channel.
"It's good that you know in your heart, Dmipov in Vladivostok, Seminov in Transbaikal, and Pikhalin in Boli have several armed forces of the old Tsarist army, you have to pay attention to it, and the officers need to know what they are doing as soon as possible." Qin Yu also instructed that the old army of Tsarist Russia was divided into several armed forces, and there was no unified military command, and the Northeast Army had taken advantage of the right time and place, and there was no reason to defeat, but under the secret interference of the Japanese, if you are not careful, the Northeast Army will inevitably have a large number of casualties, after all, the Russian army is not holding a massager, it is a guy who wants people's lives.
Chen Tao nodded, he knew that accurate and timely intelligence could save hundreds, even thousands, of lives on the battlefield at any time, and even worse, determine the outcome of a war. (To be continued......)
