Chapter 1148 Forcible Capture of Bratsk 4

"Fire the gun, fire the gun for me!"

Seeing that their own charging team was suppressed by the accurate 'shooting' of the Qing army, they all fell to the ground. Major General Kuzovsky was in a hurry when he arrived, and he did not care whether his own artillery fire would accidentally injure the men attacking the mountain, and he roared violently.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Ivan. As soon as Major General Kuzovsky's order was issued, the Russian artillery positions that had just stopped were suddenly busy again, and the 27 'guns' opened fire again, and the smoke of gunpowder rose from the mountainside of the 343 heights, and even under the cover of the trenches, the officers and men of the Qing reconnaissance battalion could not help but suffer some losses, and more than a dozen soldiers fell in pools of blood.

"All the heavy guns are there, five rapid 'fire', fire!"

The artillery position of the Russian army is located in the rear of the 343 heights, which is 1,500 meters away from the artillery position of the Qing army, which is beyond the range of the Qing army's light infantry artilleryEven if the reconnaissance battalion observation post on the opposite bank had already reported the location of the enemy's artillery position to the Qing artillery position, the adjustment of the heavy artillery had not yet been completed, until the Russian artillery position opened fire again, and the Qing army's eight 'guns' heavy artillery had only completed the final adjustment.

The reason why heavy artillery is heavy artillery is not only the long range of the cannonball, but the power of the cannonball is also huge, but when a cannonball lands, it will blow up a big hole in a square circle, not to mention people, it is a cannon, and it will be crushed next to it. Even if the Russian artillery position is poured with blood mold, the fast 'legs' can still survive, and the 'legs' are slow, and even the whole corpse cannot be left, and after five rounds of shelling by eight 'doors' of heavy artillery, the Russian artillery positions are already 'gone' and the smoke of gunpowder has dissipated. There are only huge blackened pits 'holes' left.

"Ordered all the units to attack in turn, and the company commander died. The battalion commander fills in, the battalion commander is dead, the regiment commander is up, the regiment commander is dead, Lao Tzu himself is up, whoever dares to take a step back will be shot! ”

Faced with the tragic destruction of his own artillery positions, Ivan. Major General Kuzovsky's eyes turned red on the spot, but he saw that he 'drawn' the command knife from his waist. [See the latest chapter of this book, please get to the hot spot] frantically slashed forward, roared and gave the order to charge to the death.

"Battalion commander, I'm out of bullets!"

"I'm gone!"

"I've got three more shots!"

……

In Ivan. Under the death order of Major General Kuzovsky, the Russian army was completely red-eyed, and the offensive was higher than one "wave", and it attacked the Qing army's positions at all costs, filling one battalion after another. If it weren't for the incomparably 'elite' officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion, they would have been completely worn down by the Russian army long ago, but even if they blocked the successive offensives of the Russian army, a troublesome problem arose unsurprisingly -- the already small number of ammunition and 'medicine' had been completely exhausted!

"Brethren, get on bayonets. Beat me down on the old 'hairy'! ”

The battle was so fierce that Zheng Zaishan didn't have time to care about the extent to which the pontoon bridge of the First Brigade had been built, but in his mind, it should be almost completed, and if he couldn't hold the position at this time, the night's hard work would obviously be in vain. There was only one fight for his life, and when he thought of this, Zheng Zaishan would not hesitate, roared, picked up the bayonet on his waist, put a set of rifles, and roared angrily and killed the surging Russian army.

"Kill!"

At this point in the battle, the officers and men of the reconnaissance battalion had lost more than one-third, and there were only about 220 officers and men left who could still hold their positions, and in the face of the onslaught of the old 'Mao' who was tall and tall with more than 500 people, the enemy's outnumbered situation was clear at a glance, but even so, none of them had the intention of retreating, and all of them jumped out of the trench with shouts, and rushed down the mountain with their guns.

The Russian army was also red-eyed, although they saw the morale of the Qing army rushing down the mountain like a rainbow, but the Russian officers and soldiers not only did not retreat, but accelerated their pace, roaring to meet the forward, but saw two people' The waves slammed into each other wildly, and the tragic white-knuckle battle began, on the strength of the troops, the Russian army has an absolute advantage, and on the stature, it is also the general tall Russian soldiers who have the upper hand, as for morale, both sides do not lack the courage to fight to the death, but when it comes to stabbing technology, the Russian officers and soldiers are unable to catch up with the officers and soldiers of the Qing army's reconnaissance battalion, not to mention that the geographical advantage is still on the side of the Qing army, under such a hedge between the two sides, the Russian army in the state of upward attack has obviously suffered a big loss, and the soldiers who rushed to the front were basically killed by the Qing army on the spot, but even so, the Russian army that came up in the follow-up still did not have the slightest retreat, roared wildly and strangled with the Qing soldiers.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

Although the officers and soldiers of the Qing Army's reconnaissance battalion are all ' Elite, the ability to fight is very strong, and the stabbing tactics are also strong, three people in a group, with each other extremely tacit understanding, but one has not rested all night, and the physical strength has long been at the peak, and the second is that the Russian army continues to move forward, even if the casualties are large, they are not willing to retreat half a step, which leads to the physical strength of the Qing soldiers gradually exhausted, and the situation can be described as extremely grim, but at this moment, a loud horn suddenly sounded, and immediately, a large number of Qing soldiers poured out from the top of the mountain, shouting and rushing to the battlefield, and it was the reinforcements that arrived!

The 343 Heights are the key points of the battle, and Chen Cang, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division who was ordered to cooperate with the operation, did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, and the pontoon bridge had just been built, and he did not wait for the engineering troops to carry out the final verification of the bridge deck, so he immediately sent a regiment of soldiers to rush onto the pontoon bridge and rushed to the aid of the 343 Heights, just in time for such a bloody white-knuckle battle, Gao Kaige, the commander of the 1st Regiment who led the reinforcements, did not dare to take a breather, and rushed to the battlefield with a wave of his division.

In the face of the surging Qing army reinforcements, the Russian army, which had been fighting for a long time, finally could not support it, and no longer had the courage to fight with the Qing army to the end. How officers such as Major General Kuzovsky screamed, it could not change the fact that the Russian army was defeated.

With the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division all crossing the Angara River, the 343 Heights were undoubtedly under the control of the Qing army, and soon, several pontoon bridges were successfully built, and the large forces of the Third Army successively crossed the river from here, and easily swept away all the surrounding Russian pillboxes. Seeing that the bunker group was powerless in the face of the powerful artillery fire of the Qing army, the Russian governor of Eastern Siberia, General Barchovsky, had to withdraw all the peripheral forces to the castle of Bratsk, while desperately strengthening the city defenses, trying to defend to the end, while sending several groups of envoys to St. Petersburg and Ivan in the Kazakh Khanate. Ivanzhovich. The main forces of the Grand Duke Ivanov were in a hurry.

Bratsk Castle is the last barrier of the Russian Empire on the Eastern Front, once lost, the back is a flat river, until the Ufa Fort at the pass of the Ural Mountains is not dangerous to defend, the loss of division and land is still a trivial matter, in case the Qing Army's Eastern Front troops copied the rear road of the main Russian army, then the consequences can be unimaginable, such a dangerous situation, the entire St. Petersburg upper class magnates are all panicked, Peter II is no exception, while ordering General Barchovsky to hold the Bratsk Castle at all costs, side to Ivan. Ivanzhovich. Grand Duke Ivanov sent an urgent letter, asking him to quickly divide his troops to rescue the castle of Bratsk. Ivanzhovich. Grand Duke Ivanov had to temporarily hold the pace of the pursuit, stopping at Akdouka on the shore of Lake Balkhash, giving the remnants of the Turkish-Kazakh army the opportunity to flee into Ili.

Although he received an order from Peter II to divide troops and reinforce them, the controversy within the main group of the Russian army was quite great on the question of whether to divide troops and how many troops to divide, and there were those who advocated taking advantage of the situation to enter Ili, and some of those who advocated quickly dividing part of the main forces to rescue the castle of Bratsk, and more generals insisted on choosing a favorable battlefield and waiting for the main force of the Qing army to come to engage in the battle, as long as the main force of the Qing army could be defeated, even if the castle of Bratsk was lost, it was not a big deal, and it was difficult for all parties to unify their opinions, and the military meeting was held for several days, did not discuss a result, to this, Ivan. Ivanzhovich. Grand Duke Ivanov himself was also hesitant and hesitant, and it was difficult to make a final decision, there was no other way, the three opinions had merit, but it was difficult to coordinate with each other, and before he could not 'feel' the movement of the main force of the Qing army, Ivan . Ivanzhovich. Grand Duke Ivanov was in a dilemma.

Compared with the panic and hesitation of the Russian army, Hongqing's response was extremely fast, on the one hand, he secretly ordered Yue Zhongqi's troops, who had already advanced westward, to speed up the march, and on the other hand, he strictly ordered the troops of Keluntai to take the Bratsk Castle, completely 'extinguish' all the resistance of the Russian Empire on the eastern front, destroy all Russian settlements, and wave the Ufa Fort, so as to ensure that the entire Siberia was included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, stabilize the western and northern rear of the Qing Dynasty, and create a favorable situation for the next step in advancing into Central and Western Asia.

On the seventh day of the ninth month of the third year of Renhe, the Third Army, which had completed the task of sweeping the outer defense line of the Bratsk Castle, finally shifted the focus of the war to the Bratsk Castle itself, and a battle to attack the fortified positions began......
