Chapter 672: A River of Blood (Chapter 14)

"Rush! For the sake of the Soviets, defeat Chinese imperialism! As soon as a raft landed, several Russian Red Army soldiers jumped down chanting slogans and quickly charged the Imperial Army line with rifles.

However, before they could run a few steps, they were knocked to the ground by a shuttle of bullets.

The Samur River was a narrow river after all, and even though the Imperial Army had strong firepower, it was easy for the Russian Red Army to cross the river. Of course, in order to cross this small river, the Soviet Russian Red Army paid heavy casualties. The surface of the river was littered with floating boat wreckage and dead bodies, and even the water was dyed red.

Although the Russian Red Army finally crossed the river, it was still pressed on the river beach. The defense line of the Chinese army is almost a hundred meters from the river beach. In this position, the light and heavy machine guns of the Imperial Army were able to harvest the lives of the Russian Red Army like wheat.

"Rushed through, finally rushed through." In the front command of the Soviet army, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted.

However, Tukhachevsky did not have a smile on his face, and the losses they paid in order to cross the river were too great. What's more, after crossing the river, it is necessary to break through the defense line of the Chinese army. Otherwise, even if you cross the river, it will be in vain.

"Comrades have done a good job, and I know that the heroic Soviet Russian Red Army will definitely be able to break through the defense line of the Chinese imperialist army. I will report to the Party Central Committee on the heroic fighting of my comrades. "Kamunov came out of nowhere, ready to share his exploits.

"Comrade Political Commissar, the battle continues, we have not yet been able to break through the defense line of the Chinese. If you rashly report it, I am afraid that you will be suspected of lying about the military situation. Tukhachevsky reminded.

Gamunov froze for a moment, and he was like a duck pinched by the throat. I couldn't make a sound all of a sudden. Originally, he had prepared a lot of words, but now he can't say them. This made him very unhappy with Tukhachevsky.

"Comrade Commander, I am just celebrating the victory in advance. Our soldiers are so heroic and break through the Chinese defense, there is absolutely no problem. Gamunov said with a smile.

"I just believe the facts." Tukhachevsky still said unappreciatively.

Kamunov had to say no more. After all, on status. Tukhachevsky was the commander of the Front, and at the same time he was a popular man next to Comrade Ulyanov, and his status was much higher than his.

"Damn rotten nobleman, one day I'll make you unlucky." Gamunov said dissatisfied.

Although the Russian Red Army's offensive was fierce, it was still difficult to break through the defense line of the Imperial Army. Pressed down on the river beach, they were only able to set up crane guns and fire at the Imperial Army. However, often their heavy machine guns began firing in less than half a minute. Shells that fall from the sky will destroy them.

In addition, for the Soviet Russian Red Army, which was hiding on the river beach, the mortars with curved ballistics were also their nemesis. Shells falling from the sky, after each shell explodes, can take away a lot of lives. The Chinese army is equipped with mortars, which are already in large numbers. So much so that soon. A large number of corpses of Soviet officers and soldiers were piled up on the river beach.

"Comrade commander, the Chinese's defense line is too balanced. The firepower is too strong for us to rush to! The commander of the 3rd Infantry Corps complained. From the beginning of the battle to the present, his 3rd Infantry Corps has suffered considerable losses. This was definitely the hardest battle fought since the formation of the 3rd Infantry Army.

"I don't care what method you use, you must attack, you can't be pinned down on the river beach. Otherwise. Not only will we pay heavy casualties, but morale will also be greatly affected. Tukhachevsky reminded.

It is almost unrealistic to withdraw the troops that have crossed the Samur River. They have already paid a lot of price for crossing the Samur River. If it retreats, it will definitely face heavy fire from the Chinese army again. When the time comes. How much can be withdrawn, I'm afraid only God knows.

"Yes, Comrade Commander." The commander of the 3rd Infantry Corps nodded.

On the front-line battlefield, several Soviet soldiers bravely launched an assault, but under the rain of bullets and bullets of the Imperial Army, most of the soldiers fell. The remaining soldier managed to rush out a few steps. But then, an explosion was heard, and a puff of smoke rose from under his feet. The soldier had been blown away.

In order to prepare for the attack of the Soviet army, the Imperial Army laid mines on the banks of the Samur River, forming minefields one after another. If there is no one to lead you, you will not be able to move an inch inside. Powerful landmines that can easily tear human bodies to shreds.

The dense mines made the Soviet army's offensive a level more difficult. The Soviet officers and men had to carefully avoid the rain of bullets and bullets of the Imperial Army, and at the same time have to be careful of the mines under their feet. This makes their offense almost indistinguishable from sending them to death.

"Bastard!" Seeing such a scene, Tukhachevsky couldn't help but curse.

Now, Tukhachevsky has completely withdrawn his contempt for the Chinese Army, and has replaced it with attention. He already sees the Chinese Army as his worst enemy. But even so, he still felt the difference in strength between the two sides.

"If the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Army is so strong, even if more than two million Soviet and Russian Red Army are all dispatched, it will definitely not be the opponent of the Chinese." Although, the idea is a bit too big and contradictory. But Tukhachevsky believes that his point of view is absolutely correct.

"What about minefields? Could it be that the mines frightened the heroic Red Army to death? Let the officers and soldiers on the front line think of a way, we must break through the minefield of the Chinese. Kamunov shouted.

The Soviet Russian Red Army was extremely lacking in the means of demining, especially on the tragic battlefield, and the two sides were racing against time. For every second of delay, perhaps a soldier will be shot.

Soon, the Soviet Russian Red Army at the front began to demine. It's just that it's definitely a very cruel method. Several soldiers crawled towards the minefield with a resolute expression. Coming to the edge of the minefield, they began to roll towards the minefield, using their bodies to clear the mine.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Mines were constantly triggering and exploding. Some Soviet soldiers were killed on the spot. Such a person is considered lucky. There are also some people who just had their hands and feet blown off and did not die on the spot. They howled in pain, but no one cared about them.

"Group 2, go on." A political commissar at the front gave the order with a blank face.

So, the Soviet soldiers of the second group once again rolled towards the minefield and used their bodies to clear the mines.

Such tactics do make people feel creepy and chilling. Although the Chinese* army is not afraid of death, it has never taken such an extreme approach. These red-haired people simply don't treat people as human beings.

"Is this the person who has been brainwashed by Bolshevism? It's terrifying. This is simply not a human, but an emotionless killing machine. Thought the battalion commander of the Imperial Army's major said.

"No wonder His Majesty the Emperor has asked us to be wary of such thoughts, and to destroy Soviet Russia at any cost. It would be a disaster if this kind of thinking were allowed to spread in China. Another staff officer chimed in.

Although, in order to break through the defense line of the Imperial Army, the Soviet army exhausted all kinds of methods, and even used their bodies to clear mines. However, in the face of the powerful firepower of the Imperial Army, all this was delusional.

The Soviet offensive only increased casualties and added some results to the Imperial Army.

The fierce assault lasted until the afternoon. The Soviet 1st Infantry Corps and the 3rd Infantry Corps, which were in charge of the attack, withdrew to less than 20,000 men in total. In other words, in today's battle, the Soviet army has already paid the price of more than 20,000 people. Such losses were enough to make the Soviet army feel painful.

You know, although the Soviet army is now getting bigger and bigger, it has expanded to more than two million people. However, the 1st Infantry Corps and the 3rd Infantry Corps are the elite units of the Soviet Army! Even the elite troops are so unbeatable, so if they are replaced by those newly formed troops, wouldn't it be only food delivery?

As the sun sets, the sun shines on the Samur River, and the scenery is simply stunning. However, the choking smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, and the layers of dead bodies piled up on the riverbank, as well as those floating on the river, completely ruined the beauty. Let people know that this is still the front line of the tragic battlefield.

"Whew! The red-haired man finally retreated. "Inside the front-line trenches, several soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the Soviet troops retreat like a tide.

The fierce fighting quickly made them grow from recruits to veterans. Although, at the beginning, the fierce attack of the Soviet army scared many recruits. However, they eventually held their ground and defeated the Soviet offensive.

"See, boys. Hongmaozi is also like us, carrying a head on two shoulders, and after being hit by a bullet, he still has to die. Although they were poisoned by the Bolshevik idea. But that didn't make them greater, it just made them stupid. We can repel their attacks today, and tomorrow, we will still be able to repel their attacks. "The old squad leader cheered on the recruits.

In today's battle, their squad had only lost one soldier, but the corpses outside the trenches were their victory. (To be continued.) )
