PS: Bow and thank acmjwu for voting for your valuable monthly pass! Bye, thanks, blah!!

With the order, the soldiers who were arming retreated in turn, and with them set fire to the sleepers.

The raging fire rose in the cold air, and the stacks of pine sleepers, which were already dry and flammable, burned into flames in the absence of wind.

The sleepers were lit and the line was retreated, while the direction of Vladivostok remained unmoved. On the 20-kilometer long railway embankment, the lines of defense are still standing.

Meng Zhaocheng received an order, in order to facilitate the evacuation of the defensive line, the distance of Xing Yuan from 500 meters was changed to 300 meters, so that he would not be caught up by the enemy when evacuating, and the damage during evacuation could be reduced.

After learning on the phone that the warehouse materials had been moved, Meng Zhaocheng was relieved and ordered in the temporary headquarters ten kilometers away from Dalenevchensk: "Set up the four Makqin in the back, one for every kilometer." ”

He knew very well that his side was the focus of the defense, and the battle, at most, would break out in a few hours, and even if the garrison there in Vladivostok could not reach it, the Russian troops near Lake Jingpo would come. It is the location of the entrance of the Trans-Siberian Railway to the Middle East Railway along the Dalian line, and there will be heavy troops in the future, after all, although the domestic railway belongs to the Japanese, the border has not been demolished.

He was right, Suifenhe, that is, the entrance of the Eastern Railway, known as the flag town, was stationed at the entrance of the Eastern Eastern Railway, where a brigade of Soviet Russia with two regiments was stationed, which was equivalent to the strength of Dalenevchensk, in order to prevent Japan from invading the territory of Soviet Russia through the railway, and also to prepare for the battle for Heilongjiang with Japan. After receiving the telegram, the brigade commander of Lieutenant Colonel "Hoskonevsky" did not hesitate and sent a cavalry regiment to Dalenevchensk for reinforcements, nothing else. It's to block that batch of supplies.

When the materials in the warehouse were moved, the defense in the direction of Lake Baikal was shrunk back, and the side was ready for battle, the cavalry regiment of "Spassk Dalny" was already only more than 50 kilometers away from "Dalenevchensk", and it could be reached in an hour and a half at most.

At this time. Han Jie, who was already a few kilometers away from the warehouse, turned back suspiciously: "Why didn't it explode?" ”

A battalion commander next to him also said strangely: "The length of the fuse is only enough to burn for fifteen minutes, which is twenty minutes away." Could it be that the detonator ......"

"Impossible."

Han Jie shook his head and denied this statement.

"Brigade commander, why don't I send someone back to take a look?"

Han Jie smiled: "No need, it seems that our friend has arrived, let's keep it there for now, maybe it will be full of supplies next time." After speaking, he thought for a while and added, "You send someone to inform the brothers of the 1st Brigade that the station will be burned and blown up, and the defense line will be retreated by another five kilometers." Avoid infiltrating too many enemies and blocking the retreat. ”

"Yes!"

The battalion commander was ordered not to mention it.

Xing Yuan quickly learned that the Russian soldiers had infiltrated the vicinity of the station, and perhaps Dalenevchensk was already in the other party's sight.

"Inform all departments to speed up the transportation, pile up to the river bank as quickly as possible, and reverse it in two sections!"

"Yes!"

The herald picked up the phone and gave Xing Yuan's order.

On the river, at this time, there are figures shuttling, except for cannons, horses and cattle, whether it is oil drums or gun boxes. They are all pulled by people to the bank of the river with small plows made on the spot, and then pulled up to the bank by horses over there. Delivered to the designated location.

Everyone had already smelled unease from the nervous transport, and the enemy was coming.

Sure enough, more than an hour later, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly came from the front end of Meng Zhaocheng's defensive line.

"What's the situation!?"

Meng Zhaocheng asked after grabbing the phone.

"Brigade commander, a cavalry is coming along the railways and roads, and the roads are covered with thick snow. It's still a long way off, and the railroad is already in exchange of fire with the first line of defense. ”

"Cavalry!" Meng Zhaocheng was taken aback, and he ordered without thinking, "Order the first line of defense to retreat and set the sleepers on fire!" ”

"Yes!"

The phone leader was given the order, followed by a green flare.

"Platoon commander. Green flares! ”

At the forward position, an observer saw the raised flare and hurriedly shouted.

The platoon commander held Depp's machine gun and shouted while shooting: "All the machine guns are left, and the rest are retreating with sleepers!" ”

"Yes!"

A dozen or so rifle soldiers quickly picked up the torches placed beside them, and set the stack of sleepers on fire amid the sound of bullets.

The thick smoke instantly covered the railway embankment, and the platoon commander in front saw the smoke rising, so he ordered the machine gunners to retreat.

The cavalry of Soviet Russia was hit by dense bullets, and after dozens of horses fell, they jumped off their horses one after another, and began to return fire with rifles.

But no sooner had they emerged from the smoke than a dense burst of bullets tore their bodies apart and torn apart the torsos of their horses.

The horse team behind was tripped by the corpse of the war horse lying down in front, and the war horse fell into a ball in the wailing, so that the galloping horse team was immediately congested.

The fire burned fiercely in a moment, the fire became bigger and bigger, and under the licking of the flames, the war horses jumped into the deep ditch under the roadbed, struggling in the snow more than two meters deep, and it was difficult to climb out.

"Light the sleepers! Retreat! ”

With the flare rising again, the fighters of the second line of defense did not hesitate to stop firing, ignited the sleepers, and retreated.

In the most favorable situation, there was no barrage to strangle the enemy, which was also helpless. When Meng Zhaocheng heard that it was the horse team coming, he gave this order.

Where is the speed of a horse that a man can run? Once retreating, the horse's 100-meter sprint will instantly catch up with the retreating warriors. If you hold on, then there is no hope of withdrawing.

Thick smoke rose in sections, and the flames then blocked the way of the horses, making it difficult for the charging team on the rear roadbed to get close to the flames, and they spun in place in vain, but could not charge.

A company commander, struggling to control the restless horses, asked: "Comrade Major, we can't pass, please find another way." ”

"No! We must rush to Dalenevchensk as fast as possible. Bite the enemy and buy time for the big army to arrive! If we leave the roadbed, the snow is too thick for us to move forward quickly! The regimental commander roared, and then ordered: "Grenades explode the fire!" ”

"Yes!"

A neat roar sounded in the restless herd, and followed. The horses slowly retreated, and a booming explosion rang out.

As the explosion sounded, sparks flew over the wasteland, and clusters of flames rolled up and flew out in all directions.

The effect of the grenade was extremely huge, causing the burning, unburned pile of sleepers to collapse, and most of the surface flames were blown out by the air wave.

One of the fighters, who had already withdrawn a thousand meters, looked back and saw the sparks splashing everywhere and shouted: "Company commander! Big Nose blew the fire open! ”

"Oh yes! Quite a trick! ”

The company commander stopped and shouted, "Keep retreating, set the sleepers on fire!" ”

Finished shouting. Rushing to the next line of defense that was waiting in front, he grabbed the phone and shouted: "Brigade commander, the big nose blew up the sleepers with a grenade, and the three regiments and three companies asked to stay and block them, and wait for the sleepers to burn through!" ”

Meng Zhaocheng heard the shout and groaned and ordered: "All the rifles are evacuated, and the machine guns are intercepted one hundred meters together, with five machine guns each!" Retreat as soon as you run out of bullets! ”

"Yes!"

The company commander roared, put down the phone and pulled out a flare gun. A green flare is followed by a red flare.

"Withdraw!!"

See the signal. All the infantry retreated to the shouts of the platoon commander and company commander, and no one lit the sleepers along the way.

The machine gunner stayed, and in the smoke billowing in front, he set up Depp's light machine gun, and stood by the battle.

The Soviets saw the flare rising again, although they did not understand the intention. But never give up on the idea of speeding up. With the grenade working, the horses slowly moved forward with a roar, and the speed became faster and faster as the fire's large wooden piles became fewer and fewer.

"Hit!"

See a horse's head peeking out of the smoke. The five Depp in the first line of defense suddenly roared.

The dense bullets weaved into a barrage, tearing apart the first war horse in an instant. The 7.62 caliber bullet is extremely destructive, and continues to penetrate in the blood mist.

The flames no longer bothered the horses, and although there was a position in front of them, the horses were fast enough that as long as they rushed closer, under the saber and horses' hooves, this improvised position could not stop their advance.

"Charge!!"

"Kill!!"

All the warriors rushed forward in the thick smoke of their horses, and under the dense bullets, the hooves of the horses trampled on the corpses of their comrades.

It's a pity that this is a lone road, and it is difficult for the war horse to run like a plain, and it is difficult for the war horse to break through the strafing of five light machine guns on the roadbed more than ten meters wide. This is Depp, with the advantage of caliber and capacity, so that the 47-round cartridge can maintain a dense and long-lasting shot.

In the crisp sound of gunshots, the wall of meat in front of it was quickly disintegrated, and in the tumbling, it was beaten into minced meat at a distance of only a few meters. But the horses behind do not stop, they just want to block the bullets with a wall of flesh, let them get close to the enemy, as long as they are stuck, the other party will have no way to withdraw from the battle!

"Retreat! Swap the disc! ”

Seeing the fierce charge of the Soviet army, the company commander who stayed behind noticed that something was wrong, and before the bullets were exhausted, he loudly ordered a retreat, and while fighting, he withdrew to the next position 100 meters behind.

Five people ran more than ten meters with machine guns in their hands, then turned around and fired for a while, and then the people who approached the torches set the sleepers on fire.

Their strategy worked somewhat, making the horse's advance a little faster, but still unable to run.

The moment the five people running in front of the defensive line fell, the sound of machine guns rang out, and they met the retreating comrades from a distance.

"The sleepers all set !! on fire"

One of the platoon commanders left behind did not hesitate to give the order to set fire to the sleepers.

If it is not ignited in advance, at the rate of the enemy's advance, it will not be possible to completely burn the sleepers.

Looking at the Soviet army again, as the horse team advanced, what was left behind was patches of blood, piles of steaming minced meat, and in the burning flames, the smell of choking blood was released...... (To be continued......)
