Brusinov did not dare to make the slightest pause, he did not even do such a necessary thing as putting the troops in order. This war was fought against time, and after the Russians occupied this 300-meter-high mountain, they immediately launched a strong attack on Nogi Noshinori.

The Japanese troops in the valley really looked like they were in no danger, and the artillery fire on the hill could accurately destroy any Japanese firing point. Brusinov carried out two hours of targeted bombardment, and after his telescopes could not see the strong fortifications of the Japanese, he gave orders to his troops.

"Boys, now the Japanese are a herd of lambs waiting for you to slaughter! Strike out and make this group of invaders pay for what they have done! Your names will be enshrined in the history of Russia along with this battle, charge, boys! ”

The Russians had concentrated 70,000 troops, and they could only concentrate so many of them now, and launched an assault on Nogi Noshinori's position. But as soon as the battle began, Brusinov realized that his calculations had been somewhat miscalculated.

Nogi Noshinori is a general of the Japanese army, so he naturally does not pin all his hopes on that mountain, and he is also fully prepared for what he will do if the mountain is lost. It is true that many of the firepower points of the ground defenses of small Japan have been destroyed, but when the Russians rushed forward, Brusinov was surprised to find that Nogi Noshinori had actually built quite complete underground fortifications in just a few days.

Relying on these bunkers and trenches, which were difficult to take down directly, the Japanese summoned up their bushido spirit and fought very tenaciously under the slogan of fighting for the emperor.

The Russians suffered heavy losses from the attack, but the results were minimal. After a whole day's kung fu, Lao Maozi's team only advanced more than 200 meters! This figure made Brusinov a little unacceptable, you must know that although the Japanese were compressed, the depth of the position was three or four kilometers. If the speed of the Russian troops was like this, he really didn't have much chance until the arrival of Japanese reinforcements.

Even during the time when the charge was temporarily stopped at night, Brusinov had the idea of retreating, he was really afraid that the Japanese reinforcements would come up and he would not be able to run away.

This situation is similar to the Japanese attack on Liaoyang during the Russo-Japanese War in history. Both sides are fighting for the hope of victory. What Brusinov didn't know was that while he was thinking about whether it was time to withdraw from the battle, Nogi Noshinori was also thinking about whether he could withdraw it.

The Russian artillery fire and ferocious attacks made the Japanese very hard, in the eyes of these Japanese soldiers, Russia seemed to have endless troops, killing batch after batch, and the crowd tactics have made many Japanese soldiers who have experienced the war unbearable in their hearts, they don't know when this is a head, why can't those pieces of dead bodies make the Russians feel fearful?

After consulting with several Japanese staff officers, Nogi Noshinori sent a telegram to the military headquarters in their collective name. Asking the military headquarters to allow them to retreat a little, Nogi Noshinori said that he was not giving up the battle, but just retreating a little closer to the reinforcements, so that the battle would be better fought.

However, the Japanese military headquarters explicitly rejected his request, and the military department told him that this time the reinforcements were under the command of Naogami Matsubara, and the two armies of 200,000 people would soon arrive on the battlefield. When reinforcements arrived on the Japanese side, they would have enough to annihilate these Russian forces, which would be very advantageous for future battles.

So. Any commander who gives the order to retreat will be tried by a court-martial! If Nogi Noshinori takes half a step back, then don't come back and commit suicide by caesarean section! If you don't die on the battlefield, you will die by military law. It's up to you to do it yourself.

Then there is no hesitation, let's fight. Now the only thing he prayed for was that Naokami Matsubara would be faster, faster.

The next day, the Russians attacked even more violently. Brusinov threw his elite troops at this time. The 1st Cossack Cavalry Division of the former Russia! This unit can be said to be a great military achievement in Russia, and has always been deployed in Europe as the main force of Russia.

The last time he fought Turkey, Nicholas II transferred this unit to Brusinov as his caretaker. It can be said that all the fortifications were fought by the 1st Cavalry Division. After joining the ranks of the proletariat, Brusinov's other units were more or less reorganized, but this first division, which he resolutely did not let anyone else move.

In Brusinov's words, there was only one shortcoming of this force, and that was that they were too brave.

Sure enough, the effect of the guards was different as soon as they struck, the Japanese defense of the entire Eastern Front was shaken by the Russians, and the Russian army advanced a full kilometer in one morning, and the first cavalry division was like a steel knife embedded in the middle of the Japanese position, and Nogi Noshinori's situation looked even more critical.

The fighting spirit of the Japanese soldiers was also obviously much worse than before, as was written in the diary of a soldier after the war:

"The Russians rushed at us like madmen, like the waves of the sea, wave after wave, and I don't know when the road will come to an end. I couldn't find my team, the captain told me three minutes ago that they were now fighting on their own, and he just said one word, and then closed his eyes. When I entered this valley three days ago, I felt the smell of birds and flowers, but now, there are corpses everywhere, and it is so difficult to find a patch of green grass on the land that has been plowed by the shelling, I wonder if there is a problem with my vision, anyway, my eyes are blood-red, and there is no other color...... May Amaterasu bless me, I fight for the emperor, I fight for Japan, and I hope my soul can return to my homeland......"

From this passage we can see very clearly the mood of the Japanese soldiers, who were already desperate, and victory was only a few inches away from the Russians.

But it was at this time that Brusinov received a telegram telling him that the Russian troops must now withdraw from the battle immediately, and there was reliable information that could confirm that the army of Naokami Matsubara was simply a cover, and after entering the Far East Nakami Matsubara, he sent two troops to march secretly, one of which was the main force of the former 4th Division of the Japanese Fifth Army, and went straight to the battlefield by small road. The other force made a roundabout advance, intent on holding back the Russian army.

This is really something that General Brusinov did not expect, and Matsubara is so bold? It is very likely that the risk of doing so will be at the expense of Nogi Noshinori's army, which is not only inconsistent with military common sense, but also inconsistent with the attitude of the Japanese side towards the war that Russia has now received.

The telegram was sent in international code and came from southern Siberia, Russia. In other words, it is very likely that this was sent by the Stessel gang. It won't be China. If China wanted Russia to receive this news, it must have been through Yang Xiaolin's special code for him and Comrade Trotsky.

Brusinov hesitated, seeing that victory was about to be in hand, and he would be able to kill Nogi Noshinori immediately, and he was really unwilling to give up at this time. But if what the telegram says is true, then when you find out that the army of Naokami Matsubara is coming, you may not be able to leave.

Although before the war, he tried his best to clamore for the use of 300,000 Russian troops to kill Nogi Noshinori, but was it really worth it? These 300,000 troops were the most effective troops at their disposal, and if they were all surrounded by the Japanese, Eastern Siberia would inevitably be lost. Who will bear the defense there in Central Siberia?

Continue to fight or withdraw immediately? He was really struggling, but he knew that he had to make a decision quickly, because the Japanese would not wait for him.

Just when Brusinov had doubts about the origin of this telegram, the signal sent them a second telegram. And this time the person was obviously very anxious, and she didn't hide her identity anymore.

"General Brusinov, I am a former staff member of the Russian Embassy in China, Domliksava, who now works in the Southern Autonomous Region of Siberia, and I assure you as a Russian that everything I say is true! Just now we intercepted the Japanese radio waves. Naogami Matsubara is already deploying an encirclement of you, trust me. ”

After reading the telegram, Akberil immediately said to Brusinov: "Brusinov, we must retreat at once!" Otherwise, we are in danger of total annihilation. I know the child who sent the telegram, she was an honest girl. ”

Brusinov pinched the telegram. He didn't know Domliksava, but he knew Ackberil.

"Good! But we have to fight again, otherwise these people will bite us. ”

In early September of the second year of the Republic, the Russian troops, who were fighting fiercely, suddenly withdrew from the battle. At this time, Nogi Noshinori had less than 20,000 men left, and his wounded soldiers were only 40,000, and many Japanese soldiers did not believe that this was true after the Russians suddenly withdrew. They didn't even dare to pursue, for fear that Lao Maozi would play some tricks.

Nogi Noshinori waited for more than two hours after the Russian army withdrew before sending a small force to investigate the situation and make sure that the Russians had really escaped.

But the next day, after the Japanese reinforcements arrived, Nogi Noshinori realized what he had done.

The encirclement of Matsubara was one step away, and the Japanese troops he arranged to cut off the retreat of the Russian army even fought with the Russians, but because of insufficient preparation, they were killed by Lao Maozi from the side and could not be stopped.

If Nogi Noshinori had the courage to bite the Russians when they got out of the battle, it didn't take much, he dragged the Russians for two hours, and now Brusinov might be finished. But the battle really didn't have ifs, and Domliksava's telegram saved General Brusinov's troops, and hundreds of thousands of Russians jumped out of the palms of the Japanese.

The Japanese side knew very well that the Russians would be replenished immediately after they fled, and although they withdrew from Eastern Siberia, they set up defensive lines behind them, waiting for the Japanese army to attack again.

Little Japan did not punish Nogi Noshinori either, after all, this Japanese general has been insisting on fighting in accordance with the orders of the military department. The Japanese side hyped up the battle, saying that the Japanese army repelled the Russian attack, which cost the Russian side dearly, and could no longer hold on to the Eastern Siberian region.

The Emperor personally issued a commendation order praising Nogi for his bravery in battle, promoting him to the Army Headquarters, and at the same time the war with Russia, Naogami Matsubara will be responsible. This is a typical rise and fall, anyway, Japan said that they won the battle.

The same was true on the Russian side, where Comrade Trotsky sent a nationwide telegram commending General Brusinov. The Russians said that they had inflicted heavy losses on Nogi's troops, almost completely annihilating the invaders, and that the retreat was a tactical necessity and not a repulsion, as the Japanese claimed.
