Chapter 401: Chaos in the North (5)

The captive replied: "It's me, I'm here to inspect the position." The sentry saw the lieutenant general with three guards and immediately saluted.

This is already the last line of defense, and there is no reason for them to move forward. Seeing that there was only this sentry around, Gao Quan secretly took out the dagger from his arms.

"General, you can't go any further, it's the other party's position in the future." The sentry kindly reminded him, but he didn't notice that Gao Quan suddenly stepped forward, and the sentry only felt a flash of cold light, and the dagger had already slit his throat.

The sentry didn't even scream, he clutched his neck and collapsed on the ground, seeing that Gao Quan's pistol was not on his waist, the lieutenant general wanted to escape, but was choked by the neck by the tall man who followed closely.

"Someone, hands up." This was already your own line of defense, and there was a question in the darkness on the other side.

Gao Quan said: "It's our own people, we just came back from a mission behind enemy lines." ”

"Throw away your weapon and walk slowly." The other party was obviously very careful. Seeing that the other party gave such an order, they threw away their weapons one after another, and the tall and strong stepped forward and clamped the prisoner's neck with his big hand to prevent him from escaping, and the four of them entered their own position.

"We are our own people, and we came back dressed as enemies, and this is a prisoner." Gao Quan explained to the sentry of the Chinese army, took out his military ID card again, and saw that the three people were indeed Chinese, and there was no problem with the certificate, so the sentry was relieved.

Dong Guicheng and the other three asked the location of their troops, and after handing over the prisoners to the gendarmerie who heard the news, they returned to the team, and it was not until later that they learned that the captured prisoner was the commander of the Third Army of the Cossack Army, and he was also a member of the Cossack Imperial Family, and the Cossack Army on the frontal front was the unit of the Third Army.

It's no wonder why the vigilance was strengthened after they attacked that headquarters, after all, they stabbed the hornet's nest, not only killed the personnel of the people's headquarters, but also captured the commander of the people, and later the three of them were exceptionally promoted because of this great achievement.

Just as the Cossack army was pressing forward to occupy most of the city of Rochlin, the air force of the Chinese army was finally assembled in the Far Eastern theater. The next morning, a large group of bombers took off, and they began their first mission to support Rocklyn City.

Relying on the strength of their heavy artillery firepower, the Cossack army was still bombarding the positions of the Chinese army indiscriminately. The Cossack artillerymen, who were in full swing, suddenly heard a loud roar from the sky, and they looked up in surprise to find that a flock of huge iron birds had covered the entire sky.

"It's an enemy plane." The artillerymen screamed and tried to divert the artillery, but it was too late, and a series of bombs fell on the artillery positions, blasting all the artillery of the Cossack corps into the sky, and the fighters ploughed the infantry positions of the Cossack corps over and over again with their 12.7 mm large-caliber machine guns.

"It's our planes, our air force is coming up." The Chinese soldiers on the defensive line cheered. After getting his own air force to start a counterattack, the excited Cai Tingyuan immediately threw all the reserves in his hand into battle, and the Chinese army began a counter-assault.

With the support of air firepower, the Chinese army with a strong charge, again and again broke through the Cossack army's defensive line, because the rear reinforcements were blocked by bombers, supplies could not keep up, the Cossack army retreated one after another, and soon handed over most of the city of Rochlin, until the evening, the planes that could not fly at night returned to the airport after several waves of rotational attacks before they stabilized their position.

Marshal Kolchak took advantage of the night to want to carry out a night attack when the other side did not have air superiority, but unfortunately the Chinese army was very experienced in night battles, and the night attack battle was fought all night, and the Cossack army did not make much progress except for a batch of corpses, and the worried Marshal Kolchak received the news of the occupation of Katerinburg at this time.

After receiving this news, Marshal Kolchak immediately had cold hands and feet, he finally knew why the Chinese army did not send reinforcements for so many days, it turned out that they wanted to attract their own troops here, nearly two million Cossack troops in the entire Eastern Continent and the Central Continent, the Chinese army wanted to swallow these troops in one gulp, so big courage, so big appetite.

Marshal Kolchak immediately ordered to prepare for the last general attack, and now it was too late to retreat, only the attack had a chance of survival, and unless they attacked the hinterland of the Chinese Empire, they would be left to die.

The offensive and defensive battle of Rocklin City has reached a critical moment, and the battle of Tara City has also entered a white-hot stage. Although the three divisions of the Third Army of the Iron Blood Army were elite enough, they were too few in number, and they were still a little powerless in the face of the two most elite armies of the Cossack Empire in the direction of the Central Continent.

The 391st Division of the Reserve was responsible for defending the two flanks of the defensive line, and the 3rd Division of the Iron and Blood Army defended the most difficult center, and under the pressure of the opponent's strong firepower, they could be said to do everything they could, using all the new equipment. Since the air force was fully supporting the main force in the battle at Kurtal, they had no time to take care of this direction, so they could only hope that reinforcements would appear as soon as possible, except for resolutely holding their positions.

The Cossacks also knew that there was no room for loss in this battle, and they did not stay behind, the artillery units bombarded the positions of the Predators day and night, and the infantry also launched a charge in turn, so that the Predators did not have any time to rest.

"Division commander, our casualties are already more than half." A staff officer stared at the division commander who was still standing next to the map, his bloodshot eyes.

Qi Long, who had been promoted to the commander of the Third Division, also had blood-red eyes, and he hadn't closed his eyes since the defensive battle began. Hearing the staff officer's words, he slowly raised his head and said, "So what, the command requires us to hold on for three days and three nights, and now there is still half a day, we must hold on." ”

The staff officer said with tears in his eyes: "Division commander, our three divisions will be crippled, let's withdraw into the city for street fighting, the heavy artillery of the Cossacks is too strong." "Since the heavy artillery of the Chinese Imperial Logistics Department does not have much inventory, and the Iron Blood Army does not have much harvest in the material warehouse here, their artillery has always been at a disadvantage, and they have suffered a lot of losses in the past few days.

"Nonsense." Qi Long slammed the table with his fist, not knowing if he was losing his temper with the staff officer, or about the unsatisfactory battle situation in the past few days: "If we retreat into the city, our supplies will be lost, and it will be difficult for the reinforcements to completely annihilate this Cossack army." ”

Throwing down the drawing pencil, Qi Long stood up, he let out a long sigh and said, "We are Your Majesty's private army, and we must always be loyal to Your Majesty." Now His Majesty has asked us to stay here and stop the Cossack army outside the city, then we must hold on, even if there is only one person left, we must complete the task, this is our mission. ”
