Robert, this guy likes to say some honest things, how grand Yang Xiaolin's robbery target is, and now he can only think about it, how to win the war with Lao Maozi is something he must think about now.

By September, the Russians had broken through Miyun's defenses.

Lao Maozi tilted hundreds of thousands of tons of artillery fire on this front, the Chinese fortifications were shattered under the fierce bombardment of Russian artillery, and when those trenches could no longer provide protection for the soldiers, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Chinese troops retreated as a whole and retreated into the defensive line along Changping to Shunyi to continue the defense.

It is already very close to Beijing, and then there is today's Sixth Ring Road, where the two sides are fighting for positions very fiercely, and the casualties are gradually increasing.

The tonnage of artillery shells used by the Russians in the attack on Beijing has reached a new high in the history of world warfare, which is indeed a good result, and they are pushing forward, but whether they can push into the city of Beijing before the onset of winter, no one can say.

Those military experts in the West do not dare to make a judgment now, China and Russia are like two bulls on the top, who can knock whom to the ground has attracted everyone's attention, as the Russians break through the dense clouds, people who understand military affairs know that if Yang beats the ghost and loses another line of defense, Beijing will be really dangerous, so whoever can win the victory may have a result immediately.

It was the French who were most concerned about the outcome of the war.

France had already provided the Russians with aid of 1.3 billion francs a year earlier, in order to allow them to move their troops to the rear of Germany and relieve the pressure on the German and French fronts. When Russia and China fought, the scale of the war suddenly developed beyond the expectations of any country. The Russians mobilized millions of troops, and the supplies they spent were the same supplies that the French had provided them to contain the German forces.

If the Russians had lost this battle, the French would have lost their money.

So, in order not to let this money go down the drain. In order for Russia to focus on Europe as soon as possible, the French must support Russia in winning the war. After the Sino-Russian war, they provided the Russians with another 200 million francs of military aid, but judging from the current situation, this aid does not seem to allow the Russians to gain absolute superiority on the battlefield.

Although Lao Maozi's shells hit fiercely, they themselves knew very well what kind of difficulties they faced.

General Kizerosky looked at the operational map in front of him, and the Russian staff officers were changing the icons on the map. The Chinese troops changed their defenses again, and the Second Army fought with them for more than half a month, then changed to the First Army, and the First Army fought for more than 20 days. Now it was replaced by the Third Army.

Yang had the Chinese troops take turns, and Kizerosky was very clear about the purpose of doing so. He knew that the Second Army had already replenished and rested in Langfang, and when Wu Zhaolin was almost fighting here, Duan Qirui would definitely come up again.

And when Duan Qirui comes up again, the Second Army will definitely not be the combat effectiveness it was at the beginning.

Look at the icons that have been replaced one by one. General Kizerosky's brows furrowed tightly: "Aliwan Busky, the Chinese troops in Shunyi are the ones who escaped from your command before. I wonder if you have the confidence to break through their positions in a week? ”

Ali Wanbski hesitated. At the beginning, when he could kill Wu Zhaolin's more than 100 people, in order to show the demeanor of the Russian knights, he withdrew after receiving Kizerosky's order. He really didn't expect Wu Zhaolin to make a comeback, and this time as the commander of China's Third Front Army.

"General, my troops have launched hundreds of charges in a row, and there is no way to replenish some company losses! To launch an attack on the Chinese in such a situation, allow me to tell the truth. I'm not sure. ”

Kizerosky slapped his forehead with the palm of his hand: "Replenish, rest!" All of you are asking for replenishment and rest, but do you know how much time we have left? I can tell you the bad news for all in no uncertain terms, because the French government is extremely disappointed with our performance. There is already a possibility of suspending aid to the Russian army. ”

His eyes scanned, "Know what that means?" His Majesty the Tsar has made a decision that in order to appease the anger of the French, we must send additional troops to Europe! This means that the battle situation here will be even more difficult! ”

Ali Wanbski immediately said: "No, this decision is not wise, we should not tease the Germans when the battle here is not over!" ”

"This decision is very wise! If we don't, the French will stop aiding immediately, and then we won't be able to fight here anymore, you know? ”

There was silence in a headquarters, and all the generals were silent. In fact, they know what is the reason for the passive situation that has put the Russian troops in today's position. When Yuan Shikai declared war, the Russians did not pay attention to the war of the Chinese, and they all believed that the Far Eastern Army could kill the Beiyang Army without leaving a single piece of armor, and the battle would end easily.

Later, when Yuan Shikai gritted his teeth and held on, the Russians began to mobilize troops, but they moved slowly and still did not pay attention to the Chinese. It was not until the Far Eastern Army suffered heavy losses that Russia's entire strategic deployment was disrupted.

They have no choice but to go down one step at a time when they have already done something wrong. In the face of Yang Xiaolin's obvious strategy of fighting while training troops, Kizerosky had no choice. Because the rhythm of the war is not in the hands of the Russians.

Although they looked like they were storming now, the generals knew who was more anxious than whom.

Seeing that all the high-ranking Russian generals had shut up, Kizerosky sighed and said nothing: "Try your best, everyone, if we can't enter the city of Beijing before the winter comes, I really dare not predict how we will end the battle." I have already thought about it, we take advantage of this change of Chinese troops, when their Third Army is not yet familiar with the terrain, and the soldiers have just entered the battlefield, we will launch a powerful assault, take Shunyi as the target of attack, and break this place. ”

Ali Wanbuth's lips twitched twice. In the end, no objection was uttered.

A smile appeared on the corner of General Kizerosky's mouth: "General Aliwanbsky, I will give you two thousand artillery pieces, and I will replenish you with fifty thousand soldiers." ”

"Okay General, then I think I should be sure."

Kizerosky nodded at him: "Also, His Majesty the Tsar is also very concerned about our war, and he knows that the Chinese troops are very stubborn in defense and fierce in fire, so in order to give us more means of attack, he has also sent twenty infantry vehicles in the country here." Although I don't think these guys can break through the Chinese positions either, let the lads follow them. It's much better than holding a bullet from the Chinese. I will hand over all these twenty cars to you, Ali Wanbski, I think they will surprise the Chinese, do not disappoint me. ”

"Yes!"

General Kizerosky looked at his watch: "It's September 19th, and it's five o'clock in the morning on the 20th. We're attacking on all fronts! The key breakthrough direction is Shunyi, as long as it breaks through here. The tide of battle will be a little bit more favorable to us. Go down and prepare! ”

"Yes!"

General Kizerosky wanted to launch a large-scale attack while Wu Zhaolin had just arrived, was unfamiliar with the position, and the soldiers had not been tempered, and tried to break through this line of defense of the Chinese in one fell swoop. Not to mention that the rhythm of the war is in the hands of the Russians, at least it is necessary to disrupt Yang's footsteps and not let the Chinese decide how to fight the war.

To achieve this tactical goal. He used all his means, even the Russian infantry vehicles that he did not like, to the front. General Kizerosky believed that the terrain around Shunyi was flat, and infantry vehicles could still play a certain role.

When General Kizerosky was about to surprise Wu Zhaolin, Wu Zhaolin was also thinking about how to surprise the Russians!

"We've just arrived. I am not too familiar with the battle line yet, so I intend to launch a counteroffensive in a local area! ”

General Wu pressed his hand on the map, his eyes full of longing to fight.

Wu Zhaolin felt that his military career seemed to be very sad, and he always needed to constantly prove himself. When he was in Wuchang, he wanted to prove himself to Zhang Biao and let Zhang Biao know who was a waste. When he does it, he has to prove himself to Sun Wen, so that Sun Wenming can confess that he is a general who can fight, stronger than Huang Xing!

Before Mr. Sun Wen changed his attitude towards him, the national war of resistance against Russia started again, he came to Beijing with the team, and people said that their team was lucky, and he proved his ability to show Yuan Shikai at Xifengkou.

The lives of thousands of brothers were finally exchanged for the approval of Lao Yuan's First Republican Division, but now there are still some generals who say that he Wu Zhaolin can become the commander of the Third Front Army, not because he has the ability, but because he is lucky, and he fought a Xifengkou blocking battle that helped Commander Yang a lot.

General Wu now wants to tell these people that he can become the commander of the Third Front Army because he has this ability! Therefore, the war he wants to fight must not be purely defensive, he must have combat merits, and he must fight back. Not to mention that his fight was better than Commander Yang's counterattack last time, at least it couldn't be worse than Duan Qirui's second front army.

Although others disobeyed him, the generals in the army who were born and died with him now admired Wu Zhaolin very much. Master Xiong didn't think about whether he could fight at all, and General Wu said that he wanted to counterattack, and he dared to rush forward!

"Angkor, what do you say?"

Wu Zhaolin's eyes swept over the map, and his fingers tapped on Shunyi's location: "Just hit here!" This is the most ferocious place for the Russians to attack some time ago, the 11th Division of the Volunteer Army defended this defensive line, and the 11th Division suffered more than 3,000 casualties in a week's battle, and I can guarantee that the Russians on the opposite side will not be easy! Moreover, the terrain here is flat, Commander Yang gave fifteen battlefields for us to take to the battlefield to try, just right here! ”

He didn't seem to have the habit of discussing tactics with his brothers below, and after finishing speaking, he straightened his body: "Now all the troops are going to prepare for me to attack, and launch an attack on the Russians on all fronts tomorrow morning, so that the Russians can't figure out where I hit him, the Seventh Army, the Ninth Army, as well as the First Republican Division and the Artillery Division, are all concentrated in the rear of Shunyi and ready to assault at any time!" This time Lao Tzu is going to surprise the Russians! (To be continued......)
