(Very little squeak, I was going to set up a group to ask for the opinions of book friends, but I didn't let the group number be sent.) So I haven't interacted with readers.,Please forgive me.,In addition, the subscription has dropped sharply recently.,Ask for a subscription.,Recommended.,Thank you)
Compared with the 6th Division, Liang Zhongjia's 8th Division, which has been interspersed in the area between Harbin and Acheng and divided the road protection team, and Jiang Chengxuan's 11th Division, although the progress is not so fast, but the process of the war has been firmly grasped by the Northeast Army.
But there are always little surprises in war.
The sound of the train rolling on the tracks came from afar.
"It's numb, Lao Maozi is so bold, Harbin is now completely surrounded by us, and he dares to drive the train over, Chen Qiang, inform the people at the station, since Lao Maozi will automatically send it to the door, we can't be too polite." Ding Chao, the commander of the 21st Brigade of the 11th Division, couldn't help but smile when he saw the approaching train, even if it was an empty wagon, it would be of great use for the Northeast Army to grasp it, let alone two cars in a row.
But when things go wrong, there must be demons, Tsarist Russia sent these two trains over, I'm afraid the intention will not be so simple, Liang Zhongjia realized that the situation was a little abnormal when he received the news, but when he reacted, it was already a little too late.
Sudden Sudden Burst... The train rolled on the tracks, and the curtain on the original window was lifted, revealing a heavy machine gun in the window, and the stormy bullets were spilled, which immediately caught the 8th Division by surprise. The soldiers who were about to intercept the station were immediately killed and wounded, and were swept to the ground in pieces.
"Bastard!" Ding Chao, who rushed to the station to receive supplies, saw the tragic scene in the station, and his eyes were about to crack when he boarded, "Up, give it to Lao Tzu." Dismantle this train for Lao Tzu! ”
Ding Chao gave an order, but what was frustrating was that the soldiers were allowed to use rifles or heavy machine guns, and the bullets hit them with nothing but some clanging sounds.
"Push the cannon over to Lao Tzu! In addition, he immediately sent someone to inform the division, and then to Chang Wanli, asking him to dismantle the railway. Lao Tzu doesn't believe that the railroad tracks are interrupted, and these old hairs can run to the sky! Ding Chao jumped like a thunderbolt but did not lose his mind, and quickly thought of how to deal with this steel-shelled turtle.
As Ding Chao thought, the time for the cannon to move and aim was far less fast than the speed of the train's movement. WHEN THE THREE 75MM FIELD GUNS WERE PUSHED TO THE VICINITY AND READY TO FIRE, THE HUGE TRAIN RESTARTED, AND AFTER SOME LOOTING AND KILLING IN THE STATION, IT REVERSED DIRECTION AND TRIED TO DRIVE BACK.
Boom, boom, several shells landed near the train from far and near, blowing up huge mud nests, blessed by luck. A cannonball hit the tail of a carriage, but what made Ding Chao feel lazy was that the train was just smashed out of a small nest that was sunk in, and the whole carriage shook, and then continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.
"What the fuck is this?" Not only Ding Chao, but even Liang Zhongjia, who hurried out of the headquarters, couldn't help but scold after seeing the perversion of this train.
"Hey, damn yellow-skinned monkey. Even if the Tsarist Empire is no longer there, the noble Tsarist army is not something that you weak beings can provoke. "CHEROV WAS SHOCKED BY THE 75MM GUNS OF THE NORTHEAST ARMY JUST NOW, AND HIS HEAD WAS RINGING IN THE EARS. The head slammed into a bulging bag on the butt of the gun next to it, and it crawled up like the others. Stand back at the port of the machine gun, or rifle.
"Add some fierce material to these arrogant yellow-skinned monkeys!" The officer on the train gave the order, and a piece of steel was lowered, revealing the swarthy muzzle of the cannon inside.
With a thud, a flash of fire spat out. The shells smashed on the positions of the 8th Division, and suddenly set off a bloody storm.
"Master, danger!" The guards realized that something was wrong and hurriedly threw Liang Zhongjia under him.
With a bang, the shell exploded dozens of meters away. Liang Zhongjia lay on the ground, although he was not injured, his lungs were also shaken into discomfort, and he had the desire to vomit.
"Hehe, Zhilu Dao is amazing!" Cherov looked at the huge fire rising in the distance, and couldn't help but sneer, how could the extremely sharp weapon of the armored train be matched by these backward Chinese troops in front of him.
On the train, the Russian generals thought that they had given the Northeast Army a dismount, but they didn't know that the conductor at this time suddenly showed a trace of horror in his eyes, and he could see from a distance that the originally smooth railroad tracks revealed a huge crater, there is no doubt that the railway was demolished, even if it was a short section, these two seemingly invulnerable armored trains have become an iron coffin, and in the farther rear, there was also an explosion at the same time, and the rails could be seen blown into the air and then thrown down heavily.
"Fuck, after fighting for so long, it's the first time I've suffered this kind of loss." Liang Zhongjia was almost hit by the cannonballs on the armored train before, and now he didn't even bother to change his dirty clothes, and directly took most of the two trains to block the railway.
"Turn all the cannons to the front, I don't believe that such a long train is invulnerable anywhere." Liang Zhongjia is full of anger, Lao Maozi does have some background as a great power, I can't imagine that there is this kind of train that can't even be broken by artillery, he has also heard some about the battle situation in Harbin, if it weren't for the successful tactics of the special operations team to come to the center to blossom, it is estimated that he is still blocked outside and can't move.
"This, what do these Northeast Army want to do?" Seeing a cannon in the distance, the Russian soldiers on the train couldn't help but feel a burst of fear, lost the ability to move, and the armored train would become powerless, even if the strongest place was defended, the 75MM gun could not penetrate the heavy steel deck, but the shells hit this kind of steel wall, and the soldiers inside tasted very good, not to mention that the ammunition, food and water on the train were limited, even if the Northeast Army did nothing, they would face the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food.
"Master, these two trains are so durable, almost invulnerable. If the Northeast Army gets it, it will be tantamount to adding wings to the tiger, and now they have become turtles in the urn anyway, and they are not afraid of them running to the sky. After a few days of siege, waiting for the water on the train to run out, I was not afraid that they would not surrender. Chief of Staff Ji Yun smiled meaningfully.
"The chief of staff is right. These two trains just caught us off guard, causing hundreds of casualties, fuck, can't be so cheap for them, and capturing these two trains is also a good one. Thinking about how to deal with these old Maozi, I forgot to capture them, or Brother Ji thought ahead. Liang Zhongjia patted his head. The order is to go down and fence off two trains for me, so that not even a fly can be released. I'd like to see if these old hairs can fly to the sky without rails. ”
As soon as Liang Zhongjia gave the order, the soldiers of the 8th Division immediately began to build a defensive line near the two trains to prevent the Russian soldiers on the trains from breaking through.
The main force of Liang Zhongjia's 8th Division surrounded the two armored trains. Jiang Chengxuan's 11th Division and the 1st Division of the 8th Division have already begun to officially engage with the main force of the Road Guard Army in the area of Zhuchangtun and Taipingling on the outskirts of Acheng. The war at this time. It's a real frontal war.
"General Moruogami, Major General Puslepin, who stayed in Harbin, sent a telegram back to ask for urgent help, but in just one day, he lost nearly half of his position, I really don't know how he fought this battle." Through the telescope, the staff officer could already see the sporadic exchange of fire between the troops in front and the Northeast Army. His face was not without worry.
"The combat strength of the Northeast Army is extraordinary, the two armored trains that were sent to prepare for a sneak attack on the Northeast Army have also fallen into the encirclement of the Northeast Army, and the reinforcements from Vladivostok will not come for a while and a half, and we do not have the ability to rescue the friendly troops trapped in the encirclement now."
Morogami sighed. Once upon a time, hundreds of thousands of Tsarist Russian troops went south, and what a majestic way it was to go back and forth in the three eastern provinces of the Qing government, but now they are constantly retreating under the pressure of the Northeast Army, and the battle has just been fought, and the situation of the more than 4,000 troops surrounded by the Northeast Army has become worse and worse, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be saved. Otherwise, the road escort army alone will definitely not be able to resist the superior forces of the Northeast Army.
"Yes, the most worrying thing is the Northeast Army's Beacon bomber, my country has purchased 100 Beacon bombers from the Northeast, of which 57 have arrived, I heard that it has achieved good results in the European battlefield, it is a kind of bomber that even the Germans have a headache, we can still intercept some guns, but once the advanced weapon of the aircraft comes out, it will be transported to the European battlefield first, and the current situation, even if there are planes, we do not have enough pilots to fly the planes." The staff officer said bitterly, as former high-ranking officers of the Tsarist Russian Empire, these people are no strangers to aircraft, and they do not lack sufficient understanding of these aspects like the powerful factions in various parts of the Republic of China.
"There are planes, the Japanese side has been in contact with General Horvat, which involves the issue of aircraft assistance, presumably the Japanese do not want to see Qin Yu's position in the Northeast gradually consolidated, since the Japanese are willing to sell planes to us, they may also solve the problem of pilots." Morogami Road.
"In that case, what does General Mo Ruo have to worry about?" The staff officer was puzzled.
"But we may not be able to catch up in time, and before the Japanese planes came, we were already bombing the Northeast planes. Heavy casualties. The strength of the road escort has been greatly damaged, and even if we survive this crisis, we will inevitably become vassals of Marquis Demipov. As Mo Ruogami was talking, he could already see some small black dots in the gray sky approaching this side, if it was usual, no one would be able to notice these conditions, but the roar in the sky reminded everyone that the northeast fleet had arrived!
"Fuck, it's so cold!" Du Baoming, who was piloting the plane, couldn't help but shrink his neck, even in the summer, when he flew the plane, he had to wear a warm leather jacket, and at an altitude of several thousand meters, it was this kind of open-top cabin, even if it was rubbed with antifreeze oil. No matter how good the leather jacket is, there will be a little bit of air leakage, but fortunately, although it is a little cold in the sky, there is no need to fight to the death with the Russian soldiers like the infantry below. The treatment of pilots is much better than that of ordinary infantrymen, and there are finally some advantages.
"Honestly hand over the Middle East Road, you should have a good year, it's because of you old hairies, I caused Lao Tzu to come to such a cold place to drink the northwest wind, so that you can taste the power of the Northeast Air Force." Du Baoming vented his anger on the Tsarist Russian road guards, and most of the other pilots had similar thoughts, but they felt a little regretful that they could not go home to reunite with their families. However, with the recovery of the Middle East Road, which was an unprecedented event in the history of the entire Republic of China, they were very lucky to be one of the participants, and there were still some people in the aviation department who were annoyed that they did not win this northward trip.
Seeing the Russian soldiers below, the group of aircraft in the air began to reduce altitude.
The road guards below are only front-line troops, and the troops are not very concentrated, but Du Baoming still does not intend to let them go.
"Liu Baotai, let's go together. Give the following one a dismount first. ”
"Captain, this time we are going to attack the main force of the Tsarist Russian Road Guard. There are two or three kittens of the three cats below, will it be a waste of time and ammunition? Liu Baotai yelled on another plane, and as he spoke, a mouthful of cold air had been poured into his mouth.
"It's okay, with the range of the beacon, it's enough to fly two to come and go. The following people, it is enough to sweep with machine guns, and it can also be regarded as reducing the burden on the reconnaissance team of the ground forces. Du Baoming said, the fuselage had begun to fall, and Liu Baotai had to follow.
"It's an aircraft of the Northeast Army." For airplanes. The high-ranking officers of Tsarist Russia are no strangers, but the ordinary soldiers below are the same as the countrymen of the Republic of China, who have been in the Far East for a long time, and the most spectacular thing they have seen in the world is only the time of the Russo-Japanese War.
For the Tsarist Russian army at this time, the heavy machine gun is also an absolutely sharp weapon, and the weapons equipped by one or two hundred soldiers on the ground are not only rifles or rifles, but at most one or two American-made grenades, and there are no other weapon configurations, even if Lao Maozi is proud of his physical strength, no one expects him to be able to throw the grenade on the plane.
A few bold people are shooting at the sky with rifles, and some clever ones have already turned their eyes to find cover, or are running in all directions, for this rumored terrible thing, it is better to provoke less.
The roaring machine guns in the sky weren't too noticeable in the roar of the engines, but the bullets that came down were splashing slag after slag of ice on the cold, hard ground.
The raindrops of bullets swept down from the air, and suddenly hit the soldiers of the road escort team below with a ghost crying wolf, and more than a dozen people did not have time to react, and there were several bullet holes on their bodies. Others scattered in all directions, and many fell on the ground because the ground was slippery.
It was just two planes, alternating strafing, and soon there were dozens of corpses on the ground, and there were some wounded people struggling on the ground.
"God, I don't want to face these terrible Northeast Army anymore!" Some soldiers wept and prayed as they fled that they would not be hit by machine guns.
"Okay, give them some knowledge, let's go to the main battlefield to meet He Yingdong and them!" Du Baoming pulled the plane up again and rushed farther away.
Compared with the smoothness of the 8th Division and the 6th Division, Jiang Chengxuan of the 11th Division was kicked to the iron plate at this time. Based on the calculation of the strength of more than 25,000 people in the previous road protection army, even in Harbin, the armored train broke nearly 4,000 people, and then removed the strength of a unit to escort property, the strength of the road protection army in the Acheng area at this time also exceeded 15,000, and it was supplemented by a large number of munitions, and the firepower was even more fierce than that of the 11th Division.
The thunderous cannon sounded, and it was the artillery group of the road guards that was activating again. Qin Yu didn't expect those things from the United Arms Company to hit his head. However, this is no time to regret it, compared with the huge benefits seized by the United Arms Company, some losses should be paid, it is impossible to interrupt the arms deal with Tsarist Russia because of this deaths and injuries, what the Northeast Army has to do is to use strong force to directly defeat the old Tsarist army, but this seems to be not too good in Jiang Chengxuan's current opinion. THE FIREPOWER OF THE ROAD GUARDS IS TOO FIERCE, AND THE BROWNING HEAVY MACHINE GUN IS NOT INFERIOR TO THE 76MM MOUNTAIN ARTILLERY AND FIELD ARTILLERY OF THE NORTHEAST ARMY. The amount of equipment on heavy machine guns and artillery even exceeded that of the Northeast Army.
"Damn, there is no precedent for the Northeast Army to be defeated, let Lao Tzu withstand it. Machine guns, why don't you fight! "After the position was ravaged by artillery groups, the Lu Tianwen battalion, a large group of Tsarist Russian soldiers counterattacked. Lu Tianwen, who had a few blood grooves cut by shrapnel on his face, pushed away the soldier who was supporting him, pulled the fuse of the grenade and threw it forward.
"The battalion, the battalion, the machine gun was blown up! The machine gunner was also fully reimbursed. The soldier said in a hoarse voice, he had just been shelled by the road guards, and at this time his ears were still buzzing, and it took a lot of effort to hear what Lu Tianwen said.
"Boom!" The grenade knocked over several approaching Russian soldiers. Lu Tianwen rolled on the spot, dodged a shuttle bullet, and even rolled and climbed to pick up the Makqin heavy machine gun whose bracket had been blown up, and the cooling water inside also flowed out because of the crack. However, seeing the approaching Russian soldiers, Lu Tianwen couldn't care so much at this time, and before the cooling water ran out, he directly picked up the machine gun, exposing his upper body to the shooting field of the Russian soldiers, and roared at the same time, "Little fool, get a bullet chain for Lao Tzu!" ”
The heavy machine gun spat out a tongue of fire, and the bullets shot out wildly, and the Russian soldiers who rushed towards the position of the Northeast Army were knocked down one by one. The soldiers of the Northeast Army took the opportunity to counterattack and eliminated the forty or fifty Tsarist Russian soldiers, and the heavy machine gun in Lu Tianwen's hand also failed to sound because of the dry flow of cooling water inside, so it was extremely lucky.
"Yingza, Lao Maozi rushed up again!" As soon as the shouting fell, machine gun bullets swept over like rain, and after the Russian soldiers realized the firepower of the Northeast Army, they also deployed heavy machine guns to suppress the fire.
"Cannons, where are our cannons?" Many soldiers shouted in their hearts. (To be continued......)
