If there is no interference from other external factors, relying on superior firepower and troops, the Russians can really pile down the positions on the left flank of the Beiyang Army with human lives and shells! But war is always global. You can't expect to concentrate your forces on the opponent's flanks while the opposing main forces remain unmoved! Just when the Russian offensive forces and the defenders of the left flank of Beiyang were entangled and inseparable, the main force of Beiyang and the right flank finally moved!

Since there have been wars, the tactics of outflanking have emerged. The Russians said that although their tactical thinking was backward, they also knew how to protect the flanks! In the face of the possibility of an attack on the Beiyang at any time, the Russians have prepared a great gift for the Beiyang attacking troops! Machine guns and 3-pounder guns are placed at the front, and since neither side can hide themselves and can destroy each other, then try to kill and damage the enemy as much as possible before you are destroyed! The Russians also knew this truth, and after estimating that the Beiyang Army lacked 75-level howitzers, they boldly put their heavy weapons in front, in order to stifle the opponent's attack with absolute firepower superiority.

"Brothers, push the big guy up and let the Russians see our new guy!" The commander of the heavy mortar company of the regiment looked at the Russian positions in the distance and said. The new 1898 120-heavy mortar has only been equipped for less than a year, but this seemingly small guy has already been recognized by the whole army. The one-man high barrel is more than 300kg in battle, and such data is already considered a giant in mortars. But with the barrel artillery, such a weight is only about one-fifth of the 75 rapid-fire guns! But don't underestimate the performance of this gun, he can shoot a 15.9kg shell at a distance of 4km. In addition to being a little shorter, its fire projection capabilities exceed 75 rapid-fire guns, and even 105 howitzers! Such a powerful suppressive firepower can be imagined in the face of a local position without any solid cover defense!

With the dull roar of heavy mortars, the counteroffensive of the Beiyang Guards finally began. A large number of soldiers reappeared from the individual bunkers and rushed towards the flank of the Russian army under the command of the squad leader and platoon commander. Unlike the Russian sea of charges. The Guard's offensive formation emphasizes depth and thinness as much as his defensive formation. Each combat squad is arranged in three battle groups, and the three teams are spread out in a zigzag pattern. The squad leader led one of the teams that went forward to assist, while the two combat teams on either side were responsible for cover and fire support. The strength of the next platoon formed a larger zigzag battle formation.

The biggest advantage of such a layout is to reduce the lethality of the opponent's heavy firepower. Neither machine-gun flank nor artillery fire could inflict a fatal blow on such a loose and echeloned formation. A shell counts as a hit. Also eliminate up to one 4-person combat group. And the effect of machine gun side fire on this kind of group strike is also greatly reduced. Although it is scattered, don't think that such a formation can be easily broken through. The two groups on the bottom flank can provide cover for the forward battle group at any time and prevent attacks from the flanks. No matter which direction the assault is launched, the most common attack will be counterattacked by the entire group. On Xu Jie's plane, the PLA's three-three system tactics were brought here by this traverser!

High-explosive grenades weighing 15.9kg kept falling on the positions of the Russian army. The Russians never dreamed that in a hurry, the other side could actually deploy the powerful heavy firepower in place as scheduled! Accompanied by huge columns of smoke rising into the air. The Russians concluded that the heavy artillery units of the division in Beiyang were already in place! (This is an error of judgment.) However, the 15.9kg high-explosive shell is indeed more terrifying than the 105 howitzer, the cast iron body is more prone to fragmentation, and the shell has a larger charge. The powerful high-explosive shells came directly at the neatly arranged Russian machine-gun and artillery positions, and made an indiscriminate cover! The blast was a wave of air that swept across the Russian defenses, carrying shrapnel and fragments of weapons. Heavy machine guns and artillery were toyed by the air generated by the impact. The Russian soldiers on the side subconsciously ran to the rear after hearing a sharp sound coming from the air.

"Don't run, hold your ground." A Russian soldier draws a pistol and fires into the sky. But before the last word could be spoken, a huge cannonball exploded next to him, in an instant. A cloud of black smoke mixed with blood-red minced flesh was thrown into the air, a few seconds later. As the smoke drifted away, the physical fragments were scattered on the ground, and a Russian soldier was hit on the head by something, and he subconsciously struck his head. Half of a person's intestines fell from the sewing of his hand! The mutilated corpses, the smell of blood that permeated the battlefield and the wails of the wounded finally completely destroyed the will of the Russian troops to resist. At first it was only a single rout, but soon the Russian troops, crushed by the powerful artillery fire, began to break up on a large scale!

"Crush these routs and the Beiyang troops together!" Soon, the infantry from the rear rushed together with the rout. There was chaos in the formation in an instant, and the Russian ** officer who led the team ruthlessly ordered to fire at the rout! Stop the rout from breaking up the formation! Accompanied by scattered gunshots. The soldiers who rushed to the front were either killed or fell to the ground wailing, and the compatriots who rushed up from behind either took pity or indifference at their compatriots who fell under their guns and continued to rush towards the war.

After the settlement of the routed troops with thunderbolt means. The infantry on both sides finally rushed to the range of infantry weapons. The two sides invariably chose to lie down and shoot. The Russians have an advantage in physique, and Beiyang will not be stupid to go up and fight bayonets. And the Russians are afraid of the automatic firearms that are heavily equipped in Beiyang, whether they are machine guns or submachine guns, these things are too lethal to the charging troops! After being slaughtered many times by various automatic weapons, the Russians finally learned to disperse, but this learning was only scratching the surface. In the absence of strong fire support. The dispersion of deployment means the dispersion of firepower, and the dispersion of firepower means that there is insufficient firepower and the defense line is full of holes!

However, the firing distance of more than 200 meters did have a certain impact on the Beiyang Army, and the reason was very simple. The submachine gun, which is powerful in melee combat, is completely a burning stick at this distance! Dense bullet rain not low for greater walks. The submachine gun shooter is decisively tragic! But fortunately, this tragedy is not an unsolvable problem. Since the firing range is inferior, then Beiyang needs to send submachine gun shooters closer.

Under the command of the officer, the light machine guns and grenadiers of the accompanying troops were partially concentrated on the flanks of the position. At the same time, part of the submachine gunners also completed the detour. A red flare rises into the sky. Centrally arranged machine guns and grenadiers fired at a little concentrated fire on the left flank of the Russian army! Dense direct and curvilinear fire knocked the Russian soldiers to the ground almost instantaneously. The rest of the Russian troops, who were lucky or did not take care of them, could only keep their bodies down as much as possible and stick to the ground in the hope of dodging the rain of bullets like flying locusts. But this is only the time to delay death! Accurate long-point shots were aimed at the Russian troops one by one. Nail the Russian soldiers lying on the ground one by one as if they were desperate! And the grenadier hit the target of the machine-gun positions of the Russian Army. These remaining machine guns are the last fire support of the Russian positions, and once these fire points are cleared, the Russian troops with only rifles have no chance to resist the charge of the Beiyang troops with amazing melee firepower!

The battle situation has reached the point of life and death, and if the flanks are crushed, the entire Russian army is in danger of being divided and surrounded! The Russian army at this time did not retain any more firepower. All mortars and machine guns in the 2 line were pushed to the front. The firepower of the Russian army, which had been suppressed, regained its intensity, but it was all a return to light. The sheer firepower is not comparable to that of the other party. The infantry, which had already suffered heavy casualties and fought in divisions, was even more unsustainable! If firepower is the skeleton of the support front, then enough infantry is the flesh and blood of the positional defense line, and if there is not enough infantry to plug the gap and act as a reserve, then the front cannot be stabilized!

The final battle finally began when the Russians did their best! Both sides have no reservations and are full of firepower! The roar of the 120 heavy mortars belonging to the Beiyang Armed Guard Corps and the 75 rapid-fire guns that had just been in place overwhelmed the other sounds on the battlefield, and tongues of fire gushed out from the rear of the battlefield, and a few seconds later, a series of explosions sounded in front of the Russian positions, blowing the entire Russian positions to pieces, and the machine guns and mortars that the Russians had just pulled up were also destroyed by the fierce artillery fire. The remaining Russian infantry was also stunned by the sudden blow. But that's just the beginning!

When the heavy fire began to extend to the rear, a large number of assault soldiers armed with submachine guns and grenades followed the falling shells and rushed through a short distance of more than 200 meters! Shoot a dense rain of bullets at enemy positions less than 40 meters away! Close-range shooting became the last straw that crushed the Russian defense line. A dense rain of bullets reaped the lives of the Russian defenders in rows. At this time, the dignity of the servicemen and the pistols of the commanders could no longer save the crumbling morale! The entire defense line began to loosen, and at the beginning a small number of Russian troops threw down their weapons and ran to the rear, and then panic spread like a plague throughout the position, and under the continuous impact of the Beiyang, the whole line finally collapsed!

At this stage of the battle, there is no longer any suspense. The Russian vanguard has already thrown all its forces to the front line! Faced with this situation, it is already irretrievable. And what is even more tragic is that as the battle progressed, Beiyang invested more than just the strength of a regiment, the advance regiment provided time for the preparation of the follow-up troops, and after the Beiyang front, a whole regiment of troops was thrown into the battlefield in turn! So the entire Russian army will face a non-stop charge of two regiments! And the Russian follow-up troops were not prepared accordingly! The course of the battle quickly changed from two sides to a one-sided slaughter. The strength of the three regiments of the Russian army was completed as soon as possible, and the other two regiments suffered heavy losses. Almost all of them were wiped out!. When the sun was setting, the Russian ** team had lost nearly 3,000 people in this day!
