On May 2, the front page of the British newspaper The Times: In the completely dark night sky, a patch of red suddenly lit up, and lines of fiery red crossed the sky, like burning meteors. And then there was a storm of thunder and lightning! Along the Sino-Russian battlefield, from south to north, hundreds of thousands of flashes of lightning dispelled and illuminated the darkness. The earth trembled violently, and a thunderous roar came!

This is the artillery cluster of the main battlefield of the Western Front of the Chinese army. At least 300 heavy guns of 100mm caliber or more were roaring. This is the estimate of an experienced war correspondent.

A huge roar had already resounded, forming a hurricane-like whistling sound on the Russian positions. The earth trembled violently. The whirlwind of shell explosions carried dust into the sky. This is the wrath of the god of war, and he makes everything tremble.

This symbolizes the world's first-class military power, and this power is now in the hands of the Chinese, who easily captured the capital Beijing thirty years ago!

I was dozens of miles away on the shores of Lake Zalbla, and I had to hear a thunderous rumble rolling in my ears!

……

Bursts of exploding fire rose above the positions of the Russian troops. Hundreds of exploding points appear at the same time. Large and small flashes of light burst out continuously above the positions of the Russian army at an uninterrupted frequency. Especially those thirty-six rocket launchers.

If you want to say that this thing is a precision strike, that's pure nonsense. However, to shoot an extension into the interior of the Russian army's position, it is only required to fall on the head of the Russian army, which is very sharp. It was as if countless burning meteors suddenly fell from above the nine heavens, drowning the 20,000 or 30,000 Russian troops on the front line of the Northern Theater in the sea of fire one by one!

With the fire of heavy artillery. 75 guns supporting infantry with direct aim fire. and the 60 mortars, which moved with the advance of the infantry, also began to roar. Around the huge smoke and fireballs that each heavy artillery shell stirred. It was dotted with a larger number of small flashes of light and small fireballs.

The civil fortifications of the Russian army in the Northern Theater of Operations were bombed into the sky, and they worked hard to lay mines, barbed wire, and trenches. They were swept away by the tremendous power of the artillery fire, and there was not much left.

The bunkers and firing points were all wiped out in the explosion. Of course, the worst are the Russian soldiers huddled in the trenches. When the Russians built trenches, they still used straight lines as the standard, and the straight one was different from the crooked trenches of later generations. Once a shell falls into it, it can often cause a lot of casualties!

In addition, these soldiers could not lift their heads under the pressure of artillery fire. The attacking Wehrmacht did not rush down the trenches to fight them hand-to-hand, and the grenades on their waists were a great weapon against trench warfare. There are also shotguns with a pace up to the detachment level!

All of them are weapons of trench warfare. So the Russian army is more miserable than the fortifications they built on the surface.

Human limbs and severed arms flew in all directions, weapons were blown into parts, and communication networks were destroyed by artillery fire. Artillery fire that was like a wall of fire repeatedly ploughed inside the Russian positions. Countless shell fragments are the scythe of the Grim Reaper that harvests life!

The Russian army on the front line in the Northern Theater of Operations was completely unable to resist.

Such a huge firepower directly stunned them. Whether it was officers or soldiers, when the Wehrmacht troops swept through the northern theater of operations with artillery fire, all the Russian troops were shouting hoarsely like frightened ducks, looking around for a place to hide. One by one, the colonel-level and general-level officers were holding the headset receivers that had been blown off the telephone line and yelling: "Reinforcements." Reinforcements are needed at the front. The firepower of the Chinese army is beyond imagination, and reinforcements must arrive immediately, otherwise we will not be able to hold our positions. ”

It's a pity that all the work was done in vain. With one of the four assault units of the Wehrmacht, after seizing a communication center between the northern and southern positions of the Russian army, it was God who could not save the northern theater of operations.

"Traitor. A traitor has appeared in the command! "Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army. Mikhail. Grand Duke Nikolayevich was helpless in the face of this terrible situation. He was furious, angry that his artillery cluster had been knocked out so easily by the Chinese. Angry China attacked in four directions, each hitting its own vital point.

Now the front-line positions are cut off from north to south communications, and supplies are cut off. The forward troops of the Northern Theater of Operations were stripped away, and there was more Abiaz. The death of Lieutenant General Nemov and the entire Fourth Army were in disarray. There is no more command.

Mikhail. Nikolayevich immediately put in order the undivided units of the Fourth Army, and he sorted out the communication and transport routes between the north and the south. He adjusted the arms transportation at the front, and he organized forces to reopen the material transportation lines in the southern theater. But it's all so tricky and difficult. Mikhail. Nikolayevich: I don't know how many times I shouted 'There are traitors in the command'! Even this sentence was agreed by all the people in the command of the Russian army.

There are indeed traitors in the command. And a traitor with a high position. Otherwise, how could he control the layout and coordinates of all artillery positions, otherwise how could he gain insight into the four weaknesses of the Russian army?

To tell the truth, even most of the senior Russian military officials in the command headquarters did not notice these four key points before.

"Damn it, this Judas who deserves to be sent to the gallows, he betrayed Russia!"

Mikhail. Nikolayevich and others did not take into account the possibility that Liu Xian deduced at all. Because this is a real reality, not a fictional absurdity in a novel.

They do not think that anyone can 'estimate' the strategic deployment of the Russian army by virtue of the landing point of the shells of the Russian army's countless shells and the location and speed of the troop organization in the past two days. Of course, such a possibility is really impossible in military history. Liu Xian This is cheating. Therefore, Liu Xian's impression on the world after the war must be extremely deep and deep.

But fortunately, there are also three divisions of reserve troops in the rear of the Russian army, plus some remnants of the defeated generals who have withdrawn to rest and recuperate, and the number is also more than 40,000. These people have not done nothing for the past two days, they have rested in vain, and they have also built a line of defense.

Mikhail. Nikolayevich kept his eyes fixed on the map, at a narrow black line in the central part of the map. That's the rough, simple line of defense. But no matter how rough and simple the line of defense is, it is also a line of defense. With an army of 40,000 and a large number of heavy machine guns, it is not like tissue paper that can be broken by someone at a moment's notice.

In a series of previous battles, the Russian army itself had bled on the Wehrmacht's defensive line. Mikhail. Nikolayevich remembers the huge casualty figure vividly.

Now the Chinese have come to attack, and the Russians have come to defend. Even if the current defense line of the Russian army is not as strong as the defense line of the Wehrmacht, a heavily guarded defense line will not be easily broken through head-on!

Anyway, the defeat of the Russian army in this battle is decided. Mikhail. Nikolayevich is now thinking about how to preserve as much of the strength of the Russian army as possible.

The troops of the front line in the northern theater have been stripped and surrounded, but the troops on the front line in the southern theater are still there, and they must be withdrawn as soon as possible. With this in addition to the reserve forces, and the many wounded soldiers who were sent back to the west side of the lake before, the Russian army can barely maintain half of the soldiers before the war.

Of course, all the blue-skinned high-ranking officials in the command are now also looking extravagantly, and they can blink their eyes and see the corpses of the Chinese in front of the second line of defense of the Russian army. Now it's their turn to die, right?!

The Fourth Infantry Division, in cooperation with the Xinjiang Independent Brigade, took advantage of the situation to launch an attack on the Russian troops in the Northern Theater, and the progress was smooth, and it was expected that the battle would end in the afternoon.

The situation in the southern theater of operations of the Russian army is much better. Although he couldn't lift his head from the rain of shells, the rudimentary defensive line built in two or three days could not withstand the explosion like a cloud of fire. But after all, they are still in the system and can maintain unified command. And the difficulty in supplying ammunition will not reflect any harm for a while.

The two and a half hours of shooting before and after seemed to pass quickly. The three Wehrmacht artillery positions were full of piles of copper shells of artillery shells. All the artillerymen were sweating profusely, bare-chested, their muscles trembling, and beads of sweat in the sun. Each of these officers and soldiers had blood coming out of their ears. In this way, a large number of wagons continued to replenish the positions of the artillery groups, waiting for the start of the second round of shelling - if the first round of shelling did not achieve the desired purpose.

As the Wehrmacht artillery fell silent, the Russian troops, who had been dizzy by the shells, took a breath. The middle- and lower-ranking officers commanded the soldiers to desperately repair the damaged fortifications, the senior officers nervously discussed the next battle, and the Southern Theater also organized manpower to repair the broken telephone network lines.

The remaining front-line infantry in the southern theater of the Russian army easily survived this round of shelling. The trenches were littered with scorching corpse fragments, and some soldiers were stunned. Squeaked and squawked, scurrying around in the trench like headless flies.

All the Russian soldiers knew that they had to hold their positions, hold the first line, and block the Chinese army that would attack next. But what about faith? War is not a matter of determination. The Northern Theater is about to end, and the Southern Theater is also on the edge of the cliff, and it may be kicked into the abyss valley by the Wehrmacht at any time.

Where do the remaining soldiers on the front line of the Russian army find a way to resist the Chinese army?

Liu Jintang rode on a group of majestic black horses, his new mount, a BMW captured from the Russian camp next to Alahu Lake in a previous battle. After getting along these days, the black horse has obediently lowered his head.

"The last person to laugh is the most beautiful to laugh. Lao Maozi is just like the horse under my ass, he won't bow his head if he doesn't teach him a few hard lessons. ”

"Tell the brethren to cheer me up. Soon, the emperor should use us to chase down the remnants of the enemy. As a new-style cavalry general, Liu Jintang's most annoying thing is to fight frontal positional battles, and his favorite thing is to beat the water dogs. Only at this time can the best embodiment of the fine tradition that the cavalry has always had - pursuit! (To be continued......)
