Chapter 588: A Difficult Night
"Ulla, Ulla!"
The familiar roar sounded again from the battlefield, and the tide of Russians rushed up, and the dense skirmishers beat wave after wave. The forward positions of the Feng army have already been plowed by Russian artillery, and no matter how you look at it, you will not find any life.
The Russians rushed boldly and confidently, and their distance was getting closer and closer, and at this time, suddenly countless Feng troops came out of the underground anti-artillery holes, and silently, countless black muzzles were aimed at the Russians.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and they had already entered within two hundred meters, when suddenly countless fires flashed on the position of the Feng army, and dense bullets were fired over, and the Russians who rushed to the forefront fell to the ground in response. Dozens of companions were all killed at once, and the Russian troops behind also felt a trace of panic.
The Feng army would not give them a chance to hesitate, machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns rang out, and the Russian soldiers were constantly killed. The corpses were instantly scattered in a large area. However, they did not dare to retreat, and before launching the attack, the Russian commander had already given a death order that the positions of the Feng army must be breached.
At this time, the overseer team was already prepared in the back, and the machine gun bullets never recognized people, and they hit everyone the same. These Russians could only bow their heads and rush forward, ignoring the dense bullets and the casualty of their companions.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and Wang Yizhe stared intently at a Russian officer, who rushed to the forefront, looking unscrupulous.
Syllable! A gunshot rang out, and the bullet passed through the door of this guy's head accurately, there was only a small hole in the front, and the entire back of the head was blown off, plopped, and fell to the ground.
Wang Yizhe's face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to take this result seriously at all. He's looking for his next prey again. At this moment, there was a sound of breaking through the air, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly crouched in the trench.
With a bang, a mortar shell landed less than twenty meters away from him, and the violent explosion splashed countless sands and shrapnel, and two soldiers were also injured.
When Wang Yizhe raised his head again, a group of Russian soldiers had already taken the opportunity to rush to a distance of forty or fifty meters, Wang Yizhe and the soldiers hurriedly opened fire, and several Russians were killed one after another, but the continuous stream of soldiers behind had already filled the vacancy. Feng Jun finally got a taste of what a gray animal is.
"Grenades!" Wang Yizhe shouted, and took the lead in throwing a grenade, and in the dense formation of the Russian army, a cloud of sparks poured out, and several Russian soldiers were blown apart.
Other soldiers were also unceremonious. Gritting his teeth, he threw the grenades one after another. A violent explosion was set off among the Russian soldiers. Vast numbers of Russians fell in pools of blood, and the offensive was at a halt.
However, Wang Yizhe and they knew very well that this battle was a life-and-death contest, and the Russians would definitely not retreat easily. It was exactly as they thought. More Russians rushed up again, as if they couldn't kill them all.
Zhang Henian was in charge of keeping an eye on the Russian troops in the direction of Akinskoye, and Budyonny in order to break through the lines of the Feng army. He sent an infantry division and an elite cavalry division, in addition to a large number of partisan troops.
Budyonny had already given these men a strict order that they must break through the Feng army's defensive line, and these Russians knew it. If they can't complete the task, I'm afraid they will be completely finished.
Therefore, the battle fell into a white-hot degree from the beginning, the Russians desperately poured shells on the Feng army, blowing up the Feng army's positions in pieces, the Russians used all their tricks, did not care about death, and rushed to the direction of the Feng army one after another.
Zhang Henian and Zhang Tingshu were in the messy headquarters, and all the communication troops were very busy, and as the battle situation became more and more urgent, troops from the front line continued to come to ask for help.
Zhang Henian frowned and roared loudly: "There are no soldiers, tell them that they must survive today, no matter what means are used, if they can't complete the task, they will hand over their heads!" β
Zhang Henian issued a combat order without hesitation, and at this moment, another staff officer ran over: "Division commander, there have been white-knuckle battles in many places on the front line, and the number of casualties in our army is increasing, what do you think should be done?" β
"What else can I do? Tell everyone that since you have taken on this task, it is a situation of leaving you to die and survive, either gritting your teeth and holding on to a complete victory, or dying on the battlefield. As soon as the meal began, I wanted reinforcements, patted my chest and asked, is it still a gentleman? β
Zhang Henian roared loudly, and the staff officer was also trembling with fear, this division commander had never given such a death order, and he also felt the heavy pressure on his shoulders, and the staff officer ran down tremblingly.
Zhang Tingshu walked to the opposite side of Zhang Henian in a few steps, and couldn't help but say: "Henian, if you don't send the armored troops up, with us on top, it will definitely be much easier to deal with the Russian crowd tactics." β
"No way!" Zhang Henian waved his hand mercilessly and said: "Fighting a war is like playing cards, everyone has to keep enough back hands, once the cards are played, there is only one way to fail." We're under siege, and the armor is the only advantage, and I can't afford to waste it so quickly! β
Zhang Tingshu also nodded: "This is not wrong, it's just that as soon as the Russians came up, they worked so hard, I estimate that this is just the beginning, and then their offensive will be countless times fiercer, and our situation is worrying." β
"No matter what, we have to hold on, the marshal has long said that we can't afford to lose, once we fail, I'm afraid that the land of the Far East will be far away from us forever, that's a shame for our ancestors!"
"Hmm!" Zhang Tingshu also nodded heavily: "Victory or death, in our dictionary, there is no word defeat." β
Just as the Feng army and the Russians were locked in a fierce battle, Blyukhel, who was in Chita, was also in the middle of an unprecedentedly difficult choice, and Budyonny had just sent him a telegram asking him to personally lead a division to break the encirclement of the Feng army.
For this order, Blyukhel did not support it, although Akinskoye had the main forces of all the Russian troops, but Blyukhel believed that Chita was the strategic support point in the Far East, and now Chita's army was very weak. If one more division is transferred, there will be less than 10,000 regular troops left behind to defend, and the rest will be all local armed forces such as guerrillas.
In this kind of life-and-death battle, these troops have no role at all, and they want to rely on 10,000 people. It's too difficult to hold Chita. Moreover, having dealt with the Feng army several times, Blyukhel was already impressed by this enemy, and he firmly believed that the Feng army would definitely have more means.
In addition, there is another very fatal point, that is, the Russians do not have air supremacy, if they cannot break through the positions of the Feng army at night, and in the daytime, pesky planes will appear again, leaving the ground troops completely exposed to indiscriminate bombardment. Definitely not a smart idea.
Of course, he had ten thousand reasons, and he could not stop Budyonny from constantly giving orders, and in less than an hour, three telegrams were sent in succession, demanding that Blyukhel immediately carry out the order. Being in Zuihou Budyonny has already issued a threat. If he did not obey the order, he would have to accuse him to Moscow. Blyukhel is to be brought before a court-martial.
Blyukhel pondered. Only then did he grit his teeth and said: "Concentrate all the trains and transport the soldiers to the battle area as quickly as possible, and the success or failure is tonight!" β
Blyukhel did not want to expose his soldiers to the blows of the Feng army's aerial liliang, so he was ready to bet all his treasures on this night. Chita was a transportation hub in the Far East, and there was still no shortage of trains, and soon they concentrated five trains. Carrying Blyukhel, quickly headed east.
It was not yet twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, when Blyukhel finally led his troops to the front, and at this time the battle between the two sides reached its most intense point. The artillery roared, and from a distance, it looked as if it was on fire.
As soon as Blyukhel arrived, he took over all command, and his level was clearly above that of the other Russian generals. Soon he found a weakness in the arc fortifications of the Bong army, and if he could open a gap, the Bong army would collapse on all fronts.
It was precisely because of this that he ordered all the artillery fire to be concentrated in one place and to bombard the right flank of the Fengjun position. The concentrated artillery fire exerted exponential power. The soldiers of the Feng army were suddenly attacked and killed, and many soldiers were killed before they could hide in the anti-artillery holes.
Liu Guiwu hid in the anti-artillery hole, he could clearly feel the fierce artillery fire outside, there was a thick layer of mud under the anti-artillery hole, whenever a shell fell around, the violent fluctuations could be transmitted to the ground, the mud continued to fluctuate, everyone can even judge how large the caliber of the Russians used the shells through the mud changes, which can be regarded as seeking pleasure in suffering!
As soon as Blyukhel saw that the bombardment was almost over, he gathered all the Russian soldiers and rushed towards the Feng army. It was Wu Kaijie who was responsible for dealing with the direction of Chita, and from the moment BlΓΌhel launched the attack, Wu Kaijie felt that something was wrong, and he knew very well that the most difficult enemy had appeared.
He also hurriedly mobilized his troops and prepared for battle, and the overwhelming Russian soldiers rushed in, and all the firepower on the Feng army's position opened fire together. Keep killing the Russians, but killing one, immediately two or even three will be replenished, and the number of gray cattle is simply endless, and it makes people feel like they are broken.
Finally, the Russians rushed to the position, and the brutal white-knuckle battle began, Liu Guiwu was agile, he held his rifle firmly, and a Russian was about to attack, but Liu Guiwu took the lead, and his bayonet pierced the opponent's chest.
The position was accurate and ruthless, it was the mouth of the Russian's heart, a sword pierced the heart, this guy spat blood from his mouth, and immediately fell to the ground. After drawing the bayonet, he waved his hand violently, and plunged into the soft underbelly of a Russian, and with a sharp pressure on both hands, a hideous wound more than a foot long appeared.
At this time, Liu Guiwu also suddenly heard a familiar shout not far away, and a Fengjun soldier stabbed a bayonet into the opponent's stomach, and blood and filth splattered out. The soldier didn't care, and continued to look for the next opponent, Liu Guiwu clearly recognized this guy, it was Xiucai Yue Gang.
Usually this guy is still a bit clean, and among a large number of rough old men, he looks out of place, but when he really arrives on the battlefield, he becomes very heroic and throws everything aside.
Liu Guiwu also suddenly surged with momentum, he couldn't lose to Young Master Kuo in the stab! All the soldiers of the Feng army fought for their lives, and the Russians kept falling.
But as the battle continued, the weakness of the Feng army's weak strength was finally exposed, and Liu Guiwu didn't know how many people he had stabbed, and suddenly the bayonet in his hand couldn't penetrate the opponent's body, it turned out that the tip of the bayonet had already been broken, and the liliang in Liu Guiwu's body was almost consumed, and he couldn't penetrate the flesh and blood at all.
The Russian on the opposite side swung his bayonet violently, and was about to stab Liu Guiwu, when a gunshot rang out, and a ball of blood splashed out of his chest, this guy fell to the ground, and Liu Guiwu also escaped death.
But there are fewer and fewer Feng troops who can still stand up, and Wu Kaijie also noticed this situation and hurriedly ordered: "Immediately let the artillery cover and bomb those Russians to pieces." β
"Sir, isn't the artillery supposed to be reserved for preparation, how can it be used so quickly?"
"There's nothing you can't move, fire your eyebrows, let's look at the front first."
The artillery of the Feng army suddenly burst into force, countless heavy shells smashed towards the Russians, the dense crowd was bombarded by the artillery, and suddenly a patch of no man's land appeared, the Russians were blown up to the ground with corpses flying and embarrassed, and the entire attack momentum was also contained.
But as if he had not seen these sacrifices, he had been waiting for what the Feng army would do, and now he became very happy when he saw that the Feng army had used artillery.
"All artillery, aimed at the positions of the Chinese!"
Boom Boom Boom ...... Shells continued to fall, and clusters of flames were set off on the artillery positions of the Feng army. Fighting the Russians is clearly not a wise choice. The artillerymen were all desperate, shuttling back and forth in the firelight, trying their best to rescue the artillery.
The trucks also drove over and moved away one artillery piece, but even then, five guns were completely destroyed. After suppressing the artillery fire of the Feng army, the Russians rushed forward again.
The broken first front could no longer stop the Russians, and Wu Kaijie could only order a retreat. Blyukhel also noticed the time, it was about two o'clock, and it was not far from dawn.
It was necessary to seize this time and quickly break through the positions of the Feng army, and the Russian soldiers rushed in through the gap. Just when the Russians were unscrupulous, suddenly there was a chain of noises under their feet, and many soldiers stepped on the mines.
The explosion of these mines was not loud, at first the Russians did not care, but they soon felt bad, soldiers who stepped on the mines, often had one foot blown off, and there was no fear of life, but the soldiers who really participated in the war knew the insidiousness of this kind of thing.
If you don't have feet, you need to send someone else to take care of them, which is equivalent to causing double attrition at once, which is much more vicious than killing a person. It's too cheap to kill you all at once, torture you alive, and torture your teammates, this is the highest level!
Wu Kaijie saw his masterpiece and finally showed a smug smile. (To be continued......)
