As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the battlefield, and the blood takes on a jet-black color in the dim yellow sun. On the battlefield, there were broken bodies or broken flesh everywhere, and stumps and broken arms were scattered everywhere. The sky was filled with scavenging vultures, which had apparently used this battlefield as a place to eat, and if it weren't for the occasional sound of gunfire, they would have flown down to feast on it.

As night fell, the offensive of the Russian Red Army had stopped. The Russian Red Army, which had been thwarted in its attack, retreated in despair. Although, in today's offensive, the 7th Army of the Russian Red Army has done its best. However, it was still not possible to break through the defense line of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Chinese Army. The only result they achieved was probably to make the 3rd Infantry Division of the Imperial Army consume a lot of ammunition. Of course, in front of the position of the 3rd Infantry Division, the thick pile of corpses of the Soviet Russian Red Army also indicates how much the Russian Red Army paid in this battle.

Kasnov, commander of the 7th Army of the Russian Red Army, received a report on the battle damage, and more than 10,000 people were killed and seriously wounded in battle alone. There are countless minor injuries. If all of them are counted, the entire 7th Army has lost 20 percent of its strength. Such losses were definitely a heavy blow to the 7th Army of the Soviet Russian Red Army.

"Damn, are the Chinese so strong? If this continues, won't the entire 7th Army be lost in a few days? How can this battle continue! "Kasnov had a headache. It was definitely the worst war he had ever experienced since the war broke out.

Of course, the tragedy was only for the Soviet Russian Red Army, and for the Chinese Army, this battle was too big and too easy. There is fire support from the Air Force in the sky, and artillery fire support from the ground. The Russian Red Army needed to pass through heavy fire interceptions before it could launch an attack on the positions of the 3rd Infantry Division. And dense fire on the positions. It was enough to inflict heavy losses on the attacking Russian Red Army.

Therefore, with the strength of the 3rd Infantry Division, it was not a problem at all to resist the attack of the Soviet Russian Red Army. The offensive of the Soviet Russian Red Army was nothing more than the use of human lives to consume the ammunition of the Chinese army. Such consumption is nothing at all for China, which is an industrial powerhouse.

"Command the 4th Infantry Corps. Get ready for a night attack tonight! In any case, break through the defense line of the Chinese and occupy Bled! Kasnov was ruthless. Since the Chinese army could be supported by planes in the sky during the day, the artillery fire was fierce. Then, the Russian Red Army had no choice but to exploit its strengths and avoid its weaknesses and launch an attack at night. At night, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force cannot take off for battle, and the artillery fire will be greatly restricted due to the line of sight. That's the case. The pressure on the Russian Red Army was much less.

"Yes, Comrade Commander." The commander of the 4th Infantry Corps nodded. During the day, it was the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Infantry Corps that attacked. All three infantry corps paid heavy losses in the face of the formidable firepower of the Chinese* army. In the evening, it was the turn of the 4th Infantry Corps. The commander of the 4th Infantry Corps could only hope that their luck would be a little better and that they would be able to pay a little less losses.

"Comrade Commander, Comrade Voroshilov asked us about the state of the war." A communications officer reported.

Kasnov couldn't help frowning: "Send the battle report to Comrade Voroshilov." However, please rest assured Comrade Voroshilov. Tonight we will launch a large-scale night attack, which will definitely be able to break through the Chinese defenses. Defeat them completely. ”

"Yes, Comrade Commander." The communications officer nodded, and immediately went to send a telegram.

After Voroshilov in the rear received the report of the battle damage of the 7th Army, the expression on his face was also very ugly. On the first day of the offensive alone, the 7th Army lost 20 percent of its combat strength. If it is calculated in this way, the 7th Army can be regarded as a spell out. It can only last for four or five days. And the troops on the southern front only have a total of five army groups, doesn't that mean that they can only hold out for a month? What's more, even if the troops are exhausted, they may not be able to conquer Bled and defeat the Chinese* army.

"Let's hope the night attack of the 7th Army will work! Otherwise. If you want to win against the Chinese, it is almost really impossible! Voroshilov lamented.

At two o'clock in the morning of May 4, 4618 (20), on the advancing position of the Russian Red Army, the political commissars of the 4th Infantry Corps of the 7th Group Army were speaking to the Red Army soldiers who were about to participate in the attack. They promised the soldiers that there was nothing to fear from the Chinese* army, only a little more advanced weapons and equipment. However, at night, the advanced weapons of the Chinese did not have any effect. They could take advantage of the cover of night, approach the positions of the Chinese* army, and then attack. As long as they attack the positions of the Chinese* army, they will surely win. The short Chinese, if they engage in hand-to-hand combat, will definitely be beaten by the powerful Soviet Russian Red Army. In addition, the political commissars also promised that as long as the Chinese were defeated and the West Siberian Plain was recovered. Red Army soldiers who participated in the war would have priority in settling down in Western Siberia. The fertile land here will be allocated to them. This immediately made the officers and soldiers of the Soviet Russian Red Army excited.

The New Economic Policy of the Soviet Union began to be implemented, and in order to stimulate the development of the economy, the Russian government no longer forcibly nationalized the land. This is good news for many people in Soviet Russia.

Half an hour later, tens of thousands of Soviet and Russian Red Army officers and men, under the leadership of the officers and under the supervision of the political commissar, launched an attack on the positions of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Chinese Army. For the sake of secrecy, they did not carry out artillery support. In order to get as close as possible to the positions of the Chinese army, launch a surprise attack, so as to reduce the excessive losses caused to them by the Chinese army with the help of powerful firepower.

The officers and men of the Soviet Russian Red Army, bowing their heads, biting their lips, attacked without saying a word. Although, they try very hard not to make a little noise. However, with an attack of more than 10,000 people, it is simply impossible to achieve complete silence.

When the Russian Red Army approached less than 1.5 kilometers from the position of the 3rd Infantry Division, it aroused the vigilance of the Imperial Army. Several flares were lifted into the air, and the figures of the Soviet Russian Red Army were suddenly revealed under the dazzling white light of the flares. Suddenly, the Imperial Army launched a fierce artillery bombardment.

The Russian Red Army was stunned by this incident. However, at this point, they had no time to think about anything else. The sneak attack turned into a strong attack in an instant. Fortunately, they were not very far from the position of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Dingjun Army. If you charge hard, you will soon be able to rush into the positions of the Chinese army. However, the prerequisite is that they can break through the dense fire blockade.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! “

Flare after flare were fired through the mortars, and the dazzling white light dispelled the darkness and illuminated the night as if it were day.

"Da Da Da!" The heavy machine guns fired desperately, and tracer bullets continued to fire at the Russian Red Army, knocking those Red officers and soldiers to the ground.

Although, the attack of the Russian Red Army was very fierce, but they were hit by heavy fire from the Imperial Army. The 3rd Infantry Division did not slack off at night. Therefore, after the sneak attack of the Soviet Russian Red Army was exposed, the Imperial Army immediately fought back.

The heavy artillery brigade to which the army group belonged also provided fire support to the front. Although, at night, the accuracy of artillery suffered. However, according to the previously marked shooting Zhu Yuan fire, it still caused a lot of casualties to the attacking Soviet Russian Red Army.

Despite the fierceness of the Russian Red Army's attack, even in the face of huge casualties, their will to fight did not waver. However, under the preparation of the Imperial Army. The offensive of the Russian Red Army still did not get any pictures. At most, they attacked in front of the positions of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Imperial Army, and then they were blocked by barbed wire and mines, and became the target of intensive fire from the Imperial Army.

The fierce night battle lasted until five o'clock in the morning. By this time, the sky had already begun to gradually light up. After a while, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force will be able to fly to help in the war. So, Kasnov gave the order to retreat.

The night attack still didn't work, which made Kasnov completely ruined. His army group has already suffered heavy losses. If the fight continues, even if all of them are killed, I am afraid that they will still not be able to defeat the Chinese* army, let alone occupy Brede.

During the day on May 4, the scale of the attack of the Russian Red Army was undoubtedly much smaller. They also seem to know that attacking during the day is undoubtedly looking for death.

Voroshilov, the commander of the Southern Front of the Russian Red Army, learned about the predicament of the front, so he ordered that the only tank corps of the Russian Red Army be sent to the battlefield and prepared to be thrown into the offensive. Although, tank armies are invaluable. However, if it is possible to tear through the defense line of the Chinese* army and win this war for them, then it will be the best use.

On May 5, the tank corps of the Russian Red Army, which had rushed to the battlefield, joined the attack. More than 200 cool tanks, accompanied by the rumbling sound of motors, rushed towards the positions of the Imperial Army. Behind these tanks were the infantry of the Russian Red Army. With the help of tanks, their confidence seems to have recovered a lot.

After receiving the news that the Russian Red Army had put in tanks, the 2nd Panzer Division of the Praetorian Guard of the Imperial Army immediately drove to the front line. Since the Russians want to use tanks to achieve results, then, let's completely beat them to despair! (To be continued.) )
