Chapter 559: Shocked
The train was running on the railway to Borgia, and the cars were crowded with Russian soldiers, all of whom were troops of the 3rd Far Eastern Division, and the division commander Paul, with a gloomy face, was huddled with ordinary soldiers.
He had already received information from the front, Borja was in danger, and the Skovorodino direction had been lost, and if he continued in this situation, he was afraid that the two armies of the Feng army would fight along the railway all the way to Chita, and at that time, he was afraid that the area east of Lake Baikal would not be able to be saved.
The situation in the Far East has already alarmed the Moscow direction, and most of the party leaders did not initially take China's dispatch of troops seriously, and the Japanese still could not hold on, let alone China! At most, it is just a show, as soon as the red army arrives, the Chinese army will honestly roll back.
However, the reality was completely different from what these people had imagined, and the Chinese army had invested a large number of troops and launched a ferocious attack from the very beginning, and in the Far East, the Russians had less than 80,000 troops of all kinds, no more than 300 artillery pieces, and a serious shortage of combat aircraft.
As for the Chinese side, the mobilized troops were at least 130,000 or more, and more than 500 artillery pieces were put in, as well as aircraft and tanks participating in the battle.
Paul's mission this time is to rescue Borgia and hold out for as long as possible to buy time for Russia to adjust its deployment. Mobilize more troops and supplies to the Far East. Paul's mind kept flashing over the map of the Far East, thinking about the specific battle Jihua.
The political commissar on the side was not as depressed as Paul, but full of confidence, and he said loudly to his subordinates: "Comrades, China is under the rule of a gang of warlords, and all the soldiers are peasants who have been forcibly captured on the battlefield, and they don't even know how to shoot. The ridiculous Chinese are trying to confront the powerful Red Army, they are simply looking for death, and we have enough confidence. They can be easily eliminated. ”
While the political commissar was talking, suddenly the train slowed down suddenly, and after taxiing for hundreds of meters, it stopped.
"What's going on, how do you park?" Paul roared loudly.
"Comrade division commander, things are not good, the railway line has been destroyed!"
Upon hearing this, Paulton's brow furrowed, and he and the commissar jumped off the train and looked at it from a distance. I saw that there were several huge craters on the railroad tracks in front, all of which were more than a few tens of meters in diameter, the rails were blown away, the sleepers were shattered, and even the roadbed was damaged.
"These damn Chinese. They will only use such despicable means and will not dare to fight the heroic Red Army at all. It's all a bunch of cowards! ”
The commissar was still talking resentfully. Paul's face changed instantly: "Not good, this is the Chinese bomber did it!" ”
"The Chinese also have planes, it's really interesting."
"It's not fun!" As a professional soldier, Paul can no longer stand the political commissar's belittling of the Chinese army, if the Chinese army is really that bad, Russia will not fight so hard.
"Comrade Commissar. The Chinese have bombers, our trains are also dangerous here, all comrades immediately prepare for air defense, and then rush to open the railway as fast as possible. There's not much time left! ”
It is definitely not a good thing to be unprepared to be exposed to the attack of aircraft, and all the Russians realized the criticality of the situation and therefore rushed into action.
Just as they were filling in the crater, a large black shadow suddenly appeared in the distance in the air, flying quickly towards this direction.
"Enemy attack!"
The Russian soldiers in charge of the guard shouted loudly, these Russians were also trained in air defense, and they hurriedly prepared a temporary triangular wooden frame, mounted the machine gun on it, and pointed the muzzle of the gun into the air.
While the Russians were rushing to prepare, Feng's plane had already flown over them, and the black pressure was like a large dark cloud.
"Fire, fire!"
The machine guns clattered continuously, and several tongues of fire shot into the air, and He Shilong, who was in charge of leading the bombing, did not pay attention to the Russian machine guns.
They were just organized in a hurry, the density of fire was far from enough, and there were dead ends, He Shilong's plane flew quickly over the Russians, and two 50-kilogram bombs were dropped in an instant.
One of the bombs landed right next to the train, and the violent explosion suddenly shattered the two carriages, scattering parts and shrapnel flying everywhere, and many Russian soldiers were affected and wounds appeared on their bodies.
Immediately after, more and more bombs fell, and the area around the train was blown to pieces, each of which caused huge casualties. After the eighteen bombers dropped all the bombs, the Russian positions were already covered with gunsmoke, corpses were strewn all over the field, and the wounded were crying in disarray.
Some of them also tried to escape, but the escort fighters had already set their eyes on them, and the planes flew over their heads, using machine guns to fire back and forth, and one after another the Russians were smashed to pieces, until all the bombs were dropped and all the bullets were gone, and the pilots were satisfied with pulling up the planes and flying back triumphantly towards the east.
After the Russians counted the casualties, they found that the main means of transport, the train, had been completely blown up, and more than 200 people had been killed, and even more were wounded.
There are still more than 70 kilometers to Borgia, and the train has been lost, can you walk over it with your feet, and then you can still catch up to save Borgia?
And he also knows that the plane will not come only once, it will come back at any time, and it will be bombed again, their situation is extremely dangerous, let alone to rescue others, whether they can save themselves is still a big problem.
"Comrades, take inventory immediately, we will leave the railway line immediately, here will be attacked by the Chinese army at any time, approach quickly from the mountains on both sides, and rush to Borja as fast as possible!"
Paul gave the order, but he wasn't sure if he could get there before Borja was lost......
"Quick, bring the explosives pack!" Huang Xiansheng shouted loudly, his voice was hoarse, every time he shouted hard, there was a sweet taste in his throat, obviously bleeding, but he couldn't care about anything, and the most important thing now was to completely take the train station into his hands.
The explosives bag exploded with a loud bang, and the door of the basement was blown open, and before the smoke cleared, several Fengjun soldiers rushed in. The Russians were blown up to pieces, and they didn't have time to react at all, and they were killed on the spot.
Huang Xiansheng commanded the soldiers to clean several basements in a row, and the Russian soldiers entrenched in the railway station were also eliminated, and for this most important place, the Feng army and the Russians fought for five days.
The Feng army came in, the Russians returned from the counterattack, and both sides went back and forth, both paying a terrible price, and at least more than 300 soldiers of the Feng army died in the attack, and many more were injured.
Finally, after the Feng army seized the 605 heights, they launched a precise bombardment of the Russians, blocked the Russians' reinforcements with artillery, and there was not enough additional troops, and the railway station completely fell into the hands of the Feng army.
After the train station arrived, it was a great joy for the Feng army, not only mastering a key stronghold, but also the follow-up materials could be transported.
These days, the guards are directing a large number of workers to repair the railway, and Zhang Tinglan specially dispatched five broad-gauge locomotives from Vladivostok.
The railroad tracks were restored, the railway station was in hand, and the first train roared into the station, and although there was rumbling artillery everywhere, it did not hinder the high morale of the soldiers. Boxes of ammunition were removed from the train, and in addition to ammunition, there were also quite a few vegetables.
As soon as they saw these things, some soldiers' eyes turned red, these days they just eat canned food, gnaw steamed buns, and fried noodles and other things. After eating too much, everyone forced themselves to swallow it as if they were taking medicine.
Now that something fresh was finally delivered, everyone was overjoyed, Huang Xiansheng grabbed a big radish, took out a dagger, and skillfully cut it into small strips with the thickness of a finger, and each person divided one piece.
These soldiers didn't care about the dirt on it, they swallowed it all in a few bites, and a spicy feeling welled up in their throats, and their hearts suddenly felt a lot more comfortable. One radish is obviously not enough, and everyone is still looking at it.
Huang Xiansheng's face sank: "Don't even think about it, hurry up and fight, the general offensive will start soon!" ”
While he was talking, a dense cannon sounded, this time the artillery was obviously different, the intensity was far beyond imagination, and the sound of the mountains shaking the ground showed the strength of the god of war.
Huang Xiansheng had never heard such fierce artillery fire, according to his judgment, the Feng army concentrated at least more than 200 artillery pieces this time, and there were also super-large caliber heavy artillery, just listening to the earth-shattering cannon, he felt a kind of heartfelt pride and pride, the Chinese army can also be so strong, China no longer has to bow to anyone!
Huang Xiansheng's judgment was not wrong, this time the Feng army concentrated a total of more than 230 artillery pieces of various calibers, including the latest eight 240 mm super-large artillery guns.
The shells fell on the Russians unscrupulously, and clusters of fire rose into the air, bright red in color, poured with blood and fire, and looked strange and moving. All the buildings in Borja were destroyed, bombed into ruins, and the city seemed to be wiped out.
Just when the Feng army launched a general offensive, Zhang Tinglan and Wu Peifu finally rushed to the front line, and Wu Peifu finally saw such a tragic battlefield for the first time. (To be continued......)
