Chapter 482: The position outside the city has been taken
Outside the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk City, the positions of the Eight-Nation Alliance were gradually conquered little by little under the mechanized offensive of the planes, artillery, and tanks of the Dingbei Army, and the officers and men of the armies of the countries of the Eight-Nation Alliance were not unheroic in resisting, but in the face of such a three-dimensional attack, flesh and blood were of no avail, and the army commanders of several countries could only watch as the area of their positions shrank more and more.
As the commander of the entire coalition army, Joyles's brows were almost furrowed at this time, and he walked around the headquarters in an irritable mood, he was very anxious about the current dilemma of the position outside the city, but he couldn't think of any way to deal with it for a while.
The commander of the British Army, Collenhardt, sat on a chair, held a pipe in his mouth, and from time to time spewed a cloud of smoke from his mouth and nostrils, but it can be seen from his sad face that he is also very troubled now, although there is no British army in the position outside the city, but their eight-nation alliance is both prosperous and loss, and it depends on the situation that their British Army is going up, and it must be the same fate as the armies of other countries, without exception.
At this time, the Russian commander Nikanorovich said: "We can't wait any longer, otherwise maybe in one day today, all the positions outside the city will be lost, and there will be little left of the 300,000 troops, and we must find a way to change this situation!" ”
The commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army, Gloria, said with a wry smile on the side: "But in the face of the attack of the Dingbei Army, it is already resisting with human lives, and the positions outside the city are suffering huge casualties every moment, and the artillery outside our city has suffered heavy losses, and there is not much left." As soon as the artillery is fired, it will be bombed by the planes of the Dingbei Army, and it is useless to pull out the artillery in the city. I really can't think of any way to solve such an unfavorable situation. ”
Nikanoerovich gritted his teeth and said: "We will immediately launch a counterattack against the Dingbei Army and attack against the Dingbei Army." It is best that our counterattack force can be entangled with the attack force of the Dingbei Army, so that it can effectively offset the advantage of the Dingbei Army's firepower. ”
Joyles, who was walking back and forth, paused when he heard Nikanorrovich's words, and the counterattack against the Dingbei Army had been discussed, but the counterattack was prepared after dark at night, when the planes of the Dingbei Army would not be able to take off, and the counterattacking troops could take back the positions occupied by the Dingbei Army, and there were more artillery in the east of Krasnoyarsk, and they could also provide artillery support to the counterattacking troops at night.
Hannaverde, the commander of the Italian Army, shook his head and said: "Now for the counteroffensive." The planes of the Dingbei Army are still in the sky, as long as they bomb our counterattacking troops, coupled with the artillery of the Dingbei Army, the so-called counterattack will only become a casualty increase, and it is difficult to get entangled with the attacking troops of the Dingbei Army. ”
Nikanoerovich continued: "I also know that the counterattack will be attacked by the planes and artillery of the Dingbei Army now, but if we don't try to change the current situation, the Dingbei Army may be able to occupy the entire position outside the city before dark today, and when we want to launch a counterattack at night, we will not even have a support point to launch a counterattack." And we don't need a full-scale counteroffensive now. It is only enough to launch a counterattack appropriately, draw the attack force of the Northern Army, and delay the battle outside the city until dark. ”
Joyls was moved by Nika Norrovic's last words, and it was true that the counteroffensive was now launched only to drag out the battle outside the city until dark. Before it was dark, the positions outside the city were occupied by the Dingbei army.
So Joyls drew nearly 50,000 troops from the armies of the five countries in the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk. Sent out of the city, and ordered troops on the positions outside the city. Troops were dispatched to cooperate with the 50,000 troops to launch a counterattack against the attacking forces of the Dingbei Army.
The army commanders of several countries of the Eight-Nation Alliance thought very well. Unfortunately, things backfired, and although the Northeast Air Force now does not have a professional reconnaissance plane, the Yellow Bird fighters can also take into account the functions of reconnaissance planes; when the fierce battle outside the city was in full swing, there were always two Yellow Bird fighters hovering in the sky over the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk City, monitoring the situation of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army in the eastern city.
As soon as the 50,000 troops in the city were mobilized, the two Yellow Sparrow fighters immediately discovered the abnormality in the city, so when the 50,000 army of the Eight-Nation Alliance left the city, it was bombed and strafed by a large number of fighters, and at the same time, the artillery of the Dingbei Army also shelled fiercely in the direction of the 50,000 army out of the city.
In this way, these troops who were preparing to launch a counterattack were bombarded and shelled all the way to the front line of both sides outside the city, and at this time the 50,000 troops were more than a third less, but in any case, they could finally launch a counterattack.
The troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance, which had been struggling to defend outside the city, also mobilized tens of thousands of troops according to the order of Joyles, the commander of the entire coalition army, and cooperated with the troops from the city to support them, and chose to launch a counterattack against the Dingbei Army at five points.
However, with the monitoring of the Yellow Bird fighters in the air and the movement of troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Dingbei Army was almost clear, so the counterattack of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army at five points was met by the Dingbei Army.
The officers and men of Dingbei, who were attacking the troops in the direction of the five points, received an order from the command headquarters to defend on the spot, and then a large number of planes gathered in the sky above these five counterattack points, and the artillery units of the Dingbei Army also let many artillery pieces adjust the direction of their muzzles and aim at the area of the five points, and the follow-up troops immediately sent a large number of reinforcements to support the direction of these five points.
When the counterattack forces of the Eight-Nation Alliance began to shout slogans and launch a counterattack, they were greeted by a dense number of shells and bombs, plus bullets pouring down like a torrential rain, and finally the five counterattack points of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army all returned in vain, but lost a large number of troops, and the efforts of the Eight-Nation Alliance finally failed, and even the positions launched by the five counterattacks were finally occupied by the Dingbei Army.
After struggling for a long time, he came up with a way to delay the advance speed of the Northern Army, and he also lost tens of thousands of troops, so that in the command room of the Eight-Nation Alliance Army, the faces of several army commanders of various countries couldn't help but become even more gloomy, this time no one had any ideas, and could only hope that the troops outside the city could play extraordinarily and not lose all the positions outside the city before dark.
By 5 o'clock in the afternoon of June 20, the sky had not yet darkened, and the sky was still bright and bright, but the gunfire outside the east of Krasnoyarsk had already subsided, and several army commanders of various countries did not need to be afraid, because at this time the entire position outside the city had been captured by the Dingbei Army, and the armies of the countries of the Eight-Nation Alliance outside the city had a total of 300,000 troops, and then counting the 50,000 people who went out of the city to counterattack, that is, 350,000 troops, and finally withdrew to the city with less than 80,000 troops.
The reason why the Dingbei Army was able to take the entire position outside the city so quickly was also because the troops in the position outside the city of the Eight-Nation Alliance could not withstand the pattern of aircraft, artillery and tanks, resulting in a rout, and the first large-scale escape was the Italian army, and then it affected the land forces of other countries.
Even many of the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance, who did not have time to flee back to the city, chose to surrender to the Dingbei Army, and the officers and men of the army of various countries who fled were not so light that they could return to the city, and after experiencing the farewell of the Northeast Air Force fighters and the artillery of the Dingbei Army, less than 80,000 people returned to the city, and there were at least 20,000 or 30,000 officers and men of the Eight-Nation Alliance on the way to flee in rout.
Before a single day arrived, 270,000 people were thrown in positions outside the city, could there be anything more tragic? In the command room of the army of the Eight-Nation Alliance, several army commanders of various countries could only be silent, the Dingbei Army was more ferocious than the fierce battle a few days ago, and the solid positions defended by hundreds of thousands of troops were only one day, oh, not a single day, and they were all taken by the Dingbei Army.
Hannaverde, the commander of the Italian Army, had the worst face, if it weren't for the fact that the Italian troops first produced a large-scale flight, maybe the positions outside the city would still be able to hold out until dark, Hannaved even wanted to shoot the commanders of the two Italian divisions in the positions outside the city, but the Italian officers and soldiers who fled back reported that the two Italian division commanders had died on the position, and even most of the brigade commanders and regiment commanders of the two Italian divisions were killed, otherwise the Italian troops would not have fled on a large scale. In the end, it caused a rout on the entire front.
The commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army, Gloria, said comfortingly: "It is a miracle that our armies have been able to bear such heavy casualties, and it is a miracle that they have persisted until now, General Hannaved, you don't have to blame yourself, after all, most of the senior officers of the 2 Italian divisions were killed, and the soldiers below could not withstand such a fierce battle, and it is understandable that there will be a large-scale escape." ”
Joyls sighed, in fact, he was very dissatisfied with the large-scale rout of the Italian troops in the first place, so that the whole day's persistence and sacrifice were all in vain, but as the commander of the entire coalition army, he knew that now was not the time to complain, he patted Hannawade on the shoulder comfortingly and said: "The troops outside the city, more than two-thirds of the casualties produced a rout, we can't ask them to do better, now our task is to prepare for street fighting, We are going to turn the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk into a meat grinder for the Northern Army.
