Chapter 586: Hellfire

"Lao Li, do you know where our feet are?"

Li Jinglin said with a smile: "How can this ask me, isn't this exactly Nebuchu!" ”

Jiang Dengxuan sighed: "That's right, just over two hundred years ago, the Manchu Emperor Kangxi signed a "Treaty of Nebuchu" with the Russians here, which is the first formal treaty signed by China with a foreign power. In the treaty, the land between Lake Baikal and the Erguna River was abandoned, and in terms of its extent, it was no less extensive than that of the Outer Northeast. Moreover, these lands also have direct access to the North Pole, covering an area of millions of square kilometers, and the most infuriating thing is that this treaty was also signed under the conditions of victory. ”

"Bastard!" Li Jinglin focused on military affairs, and he was still unclear about these things, but now after hearing it, he was immediately furious: "This Manchu Dog Emperor's undefeated battle dare is not only a Sino-French war, it started with Kangxi, a bastard, who sold so much land, how can this old bastard have the face to be called Holy Ancestor, it is simply a ruined ancestor!" ”

Jiang Dengxuan also sneered and said: "Only when there is land can there be a country, and any regime that sells its territory on a large scale will not end well." I'm afraid you don't know it yet, the marshal has sent a telegram to the Beiyang government, demanding the dissolution of the Qing history management led by Zhao Erxun, and all the bullshit Qing history drafts they revised have also been invalidated. We have to reorganize the documents, clean up the source, and expose the face of the Manchu court! ”

"Great idea!" Li Jinglin daxiao said: "It should have been like this a long time ago, those remnants of the former dynasty who relied on the old and sold the old, let them repair history for the master, who can believe it." ”

Jiang Dengxuan also said: "Now that the army has reached here, we must never lose here!" ”

"That's right, I'll give the order, leave the task of attacking Aginskoye to me, keep it in front of Lao Sun, and kill into the city!"

Jiang Dengxuan also nodded in agreement. Li Jinglin took the train and specially brought eight 240-mm howitzers as an iron fist for the siege. From Nebuchu, we rushed all the way to the outskirts of Akinskoye.

The main force of the Second Division of the Frontier Army had already assembled here, and as soon as Li Jinglin arrived, a staff officer sent a telegram.

"Division Commander Li, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, Sun Anhu, has an order, and asks the Northern Route Army to send strong troops, and the two armies cooperate to take the railway station first."

"No problem!" Li Jinglin said confidently: "Brothers. The time has come to make a difference, let the Russians know how good we are! ”

Heavy artillery bombardment kicked off the siege, and the 240 mm howitzer had an unparalleled destructive ability, and any building could be easily destroyed with a single shot. The Russian offensive was suddenly shattered by artillery blows. In a dilemma.

Clusters of fire rose into the sky. The Russian soldiers could only huddle in the trenches, trembling and waiting for God's judgment. Regardless of how the characters above cheered up, they all knew that they were already under siege, surrounded by Chinese troops, and their future and future were very bleak.

But although they were afraid, they could not flinch in the slightest. In the troops, there were a large number of majority members to supervise them, and Budyonny personally ordered the formation of the overseers. These overseers are all equipped with machine guns, and if they dare to retreat, they will be broken to pieces, and under such pressure, the Russian army can only do its best.

Li Jinglin is also worthy of being a fierce general, and before the artillery bombardment ended, he ordered the infantry to charge, and the artillery continued to extend in depth, ruthlessly destroying all valuable targets. The soldiers crouched over the ground that had been plowed by the shells, the soil was exceptionally soft, mixed with barbed wire, shrapnel and the like.

The power of the artillery was so terrifying that they didn't believe that there were still people alive in the positions of the Russian army. Easily crossed the trench and barbed wire, at this time the Russian position finally rang out gunfire, and the soldiers of the Feng army were constantly hit and fell to the ground, but the others did not hesitate and rushed towards the Russians desperately.

"Li Jinglin is worthy of being a martial arts master, as soon as he makes a move, he is extremely sharp and aggressive, and we can't lag behind!" Sun Anhu said with a smile to Wan Fulin and Ding Chao beside him.

"Commander-in-chief, don't worry, we will definitely live up to the responsibility of the commander and take Akinskoye as soon as possible!"

"Good! Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you another piece of news, the marshal told me before the war that these lands were originally ours, but now they have been occupied by the Russians and changed to Russian names. When we succeed in retaking these lands, we will rename the city, and every unit or individual who has made great contributions will have a city named according to his wishes! ”

After Sun Anhu threw out the news, all the officers present were suddenly enthusiastic, this kind of thing is almost rare in Chinese history, but in Western history, it is not uncommon, and many cities in the Far East are named after people.

The first colonizers, the pioneers, they founded the city, and their name has been passed down through the ages. If China followed the example of the Russians and named cities after meritorious soldiers, it would be more attractive than to be recorded in the annals of history. As long as the city remains, their exploits will live forever, and no one can erase them!

After knowing the news, everyone's blood immediately boiled, and they even felt like they were about to explode, they all clenched their fists tightly, and their fighting spirit was constantly burning.

Soon, with the 3rd and 6th Divisions as the main forces, they also launched attacks from the southeast and southeast, and the offensive on this side was even sharper and terrifying than Li Jinglin. Like a tidal wave, under the cover of artillery fire, the Feng army poured into the positions of the Russian army.

The battle was fierce from the start, and the fiercest part of the fighting was in the small town of Lal, which is less than ten kilometers from Akinskoye and is a hub for the defense of the entire Russian army's outer ring.

Most of the buildings in the town are made of local materials, made of stones, and in order to keep warm, the people built the houses low and thick, with one wall almost a meter thick, which is a natural fortress.

After the Russian army occupied this place, they worked hard to convert all the houses into fortresses, one ring after another, and became the most difficult bone to gnaw.

He Zhuguo left the Baoding Military Academy and joined the Feng Army, and just after entering the army, he caught up with this Sino-Russian war, and He Zhuguo was immediately full of energy. Fighting the Russians is more attractive and more understandable about the mission of a soldier than fighting a civil war for power.

He has now been promoted to company commander, leading his soldiers to take on the task of attacking the town of Lal head-on, after lying in the trenches, He Zhuguo carefully observed the situation in the town, and he knew very well that this was definitely a difficult bone to gnaw.

However, no matter how difficult it is to gnaw, he has to gnaw on, and with a wave of his hand, he let a squad of soldiers launch a tentative attack first, and ten soldiers jumped out of the trench one after another and rushed towards the Russians. They are very experienced, the team is very loose, and they can cover each other, which minimizes casualties.

Just when there were still two or three hundred meters away from the Russian position, the suddenly dead and silent Russian position suddenly shot out several tongues of fire, and the two soldiers who rushed to the front had no time to dodge and died on the spot, while the others hurriedly lay on the ground, and the bullets stirred up bursts of dust, and the soldiers couldn't raise their heads at all.

Through the firepower of the Russians, He Zhuguo easily judged the strength of the opponent's firepower, but the more he judged, the more worried he became.

Just when they were worried, suddenly reinforcements came up from behind, and it was Wu Keren, who and He Zhuguo were also classmates in Baoding.

"I've got a baby for you!"

He Zhuguo also noticed Wu Keren, the soldiers who followed him were all carrying two tin cans, and they didn't know what was new.

Wu Keren said with a smile: "This is our new flamethrower, I heard that it is used by the German jishu, the lethality is amazing, it is specially designed to deal with the bunker, and it can burn the enemies inside into carbon rods!" ”

Wu Keren is not wrong, Germany developed a flamethrower that used gasoline, rubber, and sulfur as incendiary materials during World War I, and the British and French armies all suffered under this new weapon. So much so that once the flamethrower is discovered, they immediately use fire to cover it, and after being captured, they don't pay attention to international law and shoot them directly, which shows their fear of this weapon.

After He Zhuguo listened to the introduction, he was overjoyed: "What are you waiting for, there are a lot of fortresses in front of you now, and it is time to show your skills!" ”

"Okay! You provide fire cover in the rear, and it's up to us in the front. ”

He Zhuguo hurriedly asked the soldiers to aim the only two mortars, as well as all the light and heavy machine guns, at the Russians, and the dense gunfire rang out, setting off clouds of gunpowder smoke among the Russians.

These things did not have much effect on the tight bunkers, at most they could only blow up some stones, but they could play a role in covering the line of sight, and the Russians lost their accuracy and could only shoot blindly.

Wu Keren saw that the opportunity had finally come, and the two flamethrower groups quickly entered the Russian fortress, and the distance between the two sides was shortened to within twenty meters.

The soldiers aimed the vent at the Russian fortress, and in an instant two flames shot out, like two dragons from hell, and pounced on the Russian bunker.

In an instant, the solid building was engulfed in flames, and He Zhuguo and the others, who saw such a scene for the first time, were all dumbfounded, and they couldn't believe that there would be such a terrible weapon.

The fire burned and ignited the ammunition in a pillbox, and a sudden explosion came from the inside, and in an instant a strong fortress was shattered from the inside. The other bunker did not explode, but the personnel inside had been charred.

The first time it was used in actual combat, the flamethrower showed terrible lethality, He Zhuguo was ecstatic, with this thing to open the way, there is no longer any need to be afraid of the Russian army.

"Brothers, rush, destroy the Russians!" (To be continued......)
