The German Emperor Wilhelm II was very happy and promised to transport the 200,000 German Army and its heavy equipment to the western part of Kazakhstan in the fastest possible time, but also Britain and France, the two countries were also very happy, and they wished that Germany would send more troops into Russia to fight against the Dingbei Army.

On June 15, 1902, the third day of the Battle of Cherkar, Kazakhstan, Krasnoyarsk, an important town controlled by the Eight-Nation Alliance on the Yenisei River, was clouded by better weather.

In these two days, the strength of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Krasnoyarsk City has increased again, and the French Army has entered the territory of Russia, the Austro-Hungarian Army has entered the territory of Russia, and the Italian Army has entered the territory of Russia, and the other 50,000 troops of the Italian Army have all come to Krasnoyarsk in these two days, and these 200,000 troops have all arrived in the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk, making the Eight-Nation Alliance here in the eastern city concentrated 800,000 troops, including 300,000 Russian Army, The French army has 250,000, the Austro-Hungarian army has 150,000, the Italian army has 100,000, and in the western part of Krasnoyarsk, the Russian army has an army of 200,000.

In the position outside the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk, the Eight-Nation Alliance has arranged a Russian mobile phone to read novels, which one is stronger? The 3 armies of the 3rd Army of the National Army, as well as the 4 divisions of the French Army, add up to 260,000 troops.

Relying on the nearby terrain, the entire out-of-town position spanned nearly 10 kilometers. There are also 4 kilometers at a depth of 4 km, forming a huge defensive position. The trenches were dense and the pillboxes were numerous.

However, the first, second, third, fifth, and sixth of the Dingbei Army. The five field armies have been waiting for several days opposite the position of the Eight-Nation Alliance outside the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk, and now that the sky is finally clear, the fighters of the Northeast Air Force can be dispatched, no matter whether the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance are 800,000 or 1 million, and how big the position is, let's talk about it directly, and the five field armies have just received the battle report of the victory of the Fourth Field Army in Cherkar City, and they are not willing to let the Fourth Field Army dominate the front.

Early in the morning of June 15, 1902, the Air Force first dispatched more than 100 Yellow Sparrow fighters and more than 60 Blue Eagle bombers. These planes took off from a makeshift airfield more than 100 kilometers east of Krasnoyarsk, where more than 100 Yellow Sparrow fighters and more than 60 Blue Hawk bombers were ready to take off in half an hour, so that they could form a non-stop bombing of the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

It took less than 20 minutes for more than 160 warplanes to fly to the positions of the Eight-Nation Alliance outside the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk, preparing to drop bombs on these positions, especially to find the artillery positions of the Eight-Nation Alliance troops, and to destroy their artillery positions at the first opportunity.

However, these troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance already knew that the Dingbei Army had planes to help, and of course they would not stupidly put out their artillery and wait for the planes of the Dingbei Army to blow up. Instead, the artillery was chosen in a very hidden place, and when the artillery was not fired, it was not so easy for the aircraft in the sky to be detected.

Moreover, only a small part of the artillery pulled by the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance near the positions outside the city, and most of the artillery was hidden in the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk. There are even many in the other half of the cities on the west bank of the Yenisei River.

With the arrival of the Yellow Sparrow fighters and the Blue Eagle bombers, the artillery of several field armies of the Dingbei Army also began to shoot shells at the positions of the Eight-Nation Alliance outside the eastern city. The positions of the Eight-Nation Alliance outside the eastern city were suddenly shrouded in the explosion of shells and bombs, and at this time, the artillery of the Eight-Nation Alliance was still patient. The artillery of the Dingbei Army was not suppressed.

However, as Yellow Sparrow fighters and Blue Eagle bombers dropped bombs on several suspicious locations, two consecutive Eight-Nation Coalition artillery positions were discovered. And it was bombarded indiscriminately.

When the infantry of the Dingbei Army began to charge with some tanks, the various artillery positions hidden by the Eight-Nation Alliance could not help but begin to counterattack the artillery of the Dingbei Army and shell the charging Dingbei officers and soldiers.

This is also a matter of no choice, the planes in the sky are always circling in the sky, these cannons can't be hidden all the time, so what's the effect, isn't it just an ornament?

As a result, more of the Eight-Nation Alliance's hidden artillery positions were discovered, and then destroyed by Yellow Sparrow fighters and Blue Eagle bombers, but the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance were not completely powerless against the fighters of the Dingbei Army, and the large number of anti-aircraft guns scattered in various positions posed a great threat to the fighters, especially the anti-aircraft guns brought by the French Army from France with a relatively fast rate of fire, which posed a greater threat to the fighters.

When the first wave of Yellow Sparrow fighters and Blue Eagle bombers dropped all the bombs they carried, two Yellow Sparrow fighters and one Blue Eagle bomber were shot down by air defense guns, and one of the Yellow Sparrow fighters was shot down during the dive strafing, and the officers and men of the Eight-Nation Alliance who suffered heavy casualties from the planes bombed by the planes had not yet had time to celebrate, and the second wave of planes of the Northeast Air Force came to them again and continued to work like the first wave of fighters, dropping bombs or strafing them with machine guns.

The Russian Army and the French Army, which were guarding the positions outside the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk, were bombed by the planes in the sky and the shells of the Dingbei Army, which was called a miserable, and hundreds of officers and soldiers in a section of the trench were originally resisting the charge of the infantry units of the Dingbei Army, but they were hit by bombs and shells, and there were few hundred people left, and the infantry attacking by the Dingbei Army then easily occupied this section of the trench.

The attack troops of the Dingbei Army, relying on the air support of fighters and the artillery support of the rear artillery units, encroached on the positions outside the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk little by little.

In the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk, in an underground command room, the commander of the French Army and the commander of the entire coalition army, Joyles, the commander of the 3rd Army of the Russian Army, Nikanorrovich, the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army, Gloria, the commander of the Italian Army, Hannaved, and the four commanders of the four commanders kept abreast of the battle situation outside the city.

The commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army, Gloria, looked at the battle report in his hand and frowned and said: "The planes of the Dingbei Army are really too troublesome. With so many of our anti-aircraft guns, we only shot down a few planes. And our hidden artillery was blown up by the planes and the losses were very large, and we spent so much effort. Hiding hundreds of artillery pieces, and now losing almost half of them, is a real headache. ”

Nikanorlovich, commander of the 3rd Army of the Russian Army, said helplessly: "If we don't fire the hidden artillery, it is now difficult to say that the positions outside the city will be occupied more by the Dingbei Army." ”

Hannaverde, the commander of the Italian Army, nodded and continued: "We have long expected this situation, and the loss of artillery is inevitable, but we didn't expect that the aircraft of the Dingbei Army are indeed very good, and there are so many of them. Even anti-aircraft guns of the French type, which had a high rate of fire, did not have a large hit rate on these aircraft. ”

Joyles, the commander of the coalition forces, said at this time: "No matter how difficult it is, the position outside the city must be held, General Gloria, you immediately send 1 infantry division to support the position outside the city to the northeast, General Hannawade, you also need to send 1 infantry division to support the position outside the city to the southeast, is there a problem?" ”

The commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army, Gloria, and the commander of the Italian Army, Hannawede, looked at each other and nodded. In fact, the two of them were extremely reluctant to send their own troops under such circumstances, and the planes of the Dingbei Army outside the city increased their artillery, so that the Russian troops and French troops defending the positions suffered very heavy losses. But the other 2 allies are desperate outside, and the troops of their 2 countries can't watch here.

The position supported by the two divisions is the focus of the current attack of the Dingbei Army.

June 15th. The Dingbei Army had a clear advantage in aircraft and artillery, but the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance put up almost desperate resistance. The losses of the attacking troops of the Dingbei Army were also very large, with losses of more than 10,000 people in one day. And less than a third of the positions outside the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk were captured.

It was not until the evening that all the Yellow Bird fighters and Blue Eagle bombers of the Northeast Air Force were withdrawn, and the offensive of the Dingbei Army stopped.

At the headquarters of the five field armies, more than 20 kilometers outside the eastern city of Krasnoyarsk, Wang Hongjun, commander of the First Field Army, Zhang Limin, commander of the Second Field Army, Deng Zichao, commander of the Third Field Army, Wang Peng, commander of the Fifth Field Army, and Duan Qirui, commander of the Sixth Field Army, were all in the headquarters.

Wang Hongjun said to the other 4 people: "The armies of several countries outside the city of Kra are really tenacious, especially the French army, which has brought great casualties to our attacking troops, and has only advanced 2 kilometers at the farthest in the day, I think that tonight, the armies of these countries can not stop, we have to be fully prepared, not like the Fourth Field Army let the German army recapture the positions captured during the day at night, and also paid a lot of casualties, if it were not for the Germans being a little greedy, The Fourth Field Army was a big defeat. ”

Wang Hongjun still can't remember the full name of Krasnoyarsk City, of course, he didn't remember it carefully, he decided that after capturing Krasnoyarsk City, he must have a Chinese city name that is easy to remember.

Zhang Limin frowned a little and said: "Many of the positions captured during the day are dilapidated, even if you rush to repair them, the effect will not be too great, the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance will definitely use a large number of artillery to shell the positions we have captured at night, if we defend to the death, the losses will not be small, and some are not cost-effective." ”

Wang Hongjun also frowned and said: "This is indeed a problem, if we stick to these positions captured during the day, if the armies of those countries are desperate, not to mention the losses, whether the positions can be held or not, so we can't fight with them, we must think of a perfect strategy." ”

The commanders of several field armies began to ponder, how to deal with the counteroffensive of the Eight-Nation Alliance at night, but there is really no good way to do it except to defend it, and it is impossible to lose tens of thousands of people to occupy the position during the day, let it go in vain, and finally Duan Qirui really came up with an idea to give up the position, "Since it is not possible to defend hard, it is better to let the troops in the defensive position withdraw while fighting, use our artillery units to destroy a large number of the living forces of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and then take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, we can even counterattack again according to the situation, Recapture these positions. In the end, all these positions were recaptured by the troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance, in fact, there is no big deal, the fortifications of these positions are all dilapidated, and tomorrow morning when the fighters can take off, we can take them all back with a flat push. ”

Although it is also to give up positions, Duan Qirui is preparing to use these positions to annihilate a large number of troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and several other commanders of the field army think that Duan Qirui's idea is good, as long as a large number of troops of the Eight-Nation Alliance can be consumed, it doesn't matter if these positions are lost.

At about 7 p.m. on June 15, in the command room in the eastern part of Krasnoyarsk, the commanders of the armies of four countries sat around a table with gloomy faces.

The commander of the French Army, who was also the commander of the entire coalition army, Joyles asked in a deep voice: "Do you know the casualties of the respective units?" ”

Nikanorlovich, commander of the 3rd Army of the Russian Army, said in frustration: "The three corps of our group army outside the city lost as many as 55,000 on this day, plus more than 5,000 seriously wounded, which is equivalent to one army being lost." ”

Gloria, commander of the Austro-Hungarian Army, said: "We, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, sent more than 40,000 men from two infantry divisions outside the city, and lost about 10,000 people. ”

In the afternoon, when the fighting was tight, Joyls sent another Austro-Hungarian infantry division to the battlefield outside the city.

Hannaverde, the commander of the Italian Army, followed: "Our 1 Italian division of 18,000 men lost nearly half. ”

Joyls finally sighed and said: "France originally had four divisions outside the city, but during the day I sent another division to the city, and the five divisions of more than 100,000 men together lost nearly 30,000 people, alas, so that our four armies lost more than 100,000 men in one day. ”

The other 3 commanders couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is still their defense, the Dingbei Army is attacking, if they change positions, I don't know what their casualty numbers will be.

And the loss of the Dingbei Army today will definitely not exceed 20,000 people, oh, several commanders also overestimated some, such a battle loss ratio is because the Dingbei Army has new fighters, but it has become reasonable, after all, hundreds of planes threw bombs overhead, and their own artillery was completely suppressed by the aircraft and artillery of the Dingbei Army, and the loss was inevitable.
