"Those damned yellow-skinned monkeys are at the end of their crossbows, and if we launch another fierce attack, we will be able to tear through their defenses and capture Cullen. From today onwards, the attack on Cullen will still have to ensure the strength of the previous attack! Admiral Vladimir gave the order with a serious face.

Outside of Cullen, there are only two lines of defense. Admiral Vladimir was confident that this time they would be able to break through the lines of the Northern Army at a much smaller cost. Once you enter Kulen City, you will be able to wipe out all the northern armies.

"Yes, General!" The other generals had no choice but to cheer up and continue to attack.

The original army of the Russian army of more than 400,000 troops, in addition to a Cossack cavalry regiment, also had eight infantry corps. However, the continuous war caused each of these eight infantry corps to pay a lot of casualties. It also made those generals doubt whether they could capture Kulen.

Beginning on August 4, the Russian army launched an offensive against the second line of defense of the Northern Army. Countless Russian soldiers were driven to the battlefield by those low-ranking officers like cattle. The huge casualties have numbed these Russian troops, as if they have forgotten their fears. They braved the hail of bullets and bullets of the Northern Army to launch an attack on the positions of the Northern Army.

For these Russian soldiers, they have almost been reduced to the walking dead. Death may be the best relief for them. Of course, those high-ranking generals of the Russian army have never regarded these ordinary soldiers as human beings, but just as cannon fodder. Russia had hundreds of millions of serfs, which could provide Russia with enough soldiers.

"Ulla! Ulla! ”

The Russian army shouted slogans and rushed towards the positions of the Northern Army. All they could do was pray to God that the shells wouldn't fall on their heads. There is no other way.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! ”

When a piercing shrill whistling sound came overhead, the soldiers of the Russian army. I couldn't help but change my face. Some continued to charge forward, but many more lay on the ground, hiding from the shelling of the Northern Army. Although, at the very beginning of the battle, these Russians simply did not know how to dodge shelling. However, the battlefield is the best teacher. These Russian soldiers already know how to protect themselves.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The shell exploded, and the shock wave spread in all directions. Countless Russian soldiers were thrown directly away. Scattered shrapnel, harvesting their lives. Even if you lie on the ground, you can't completely guarantee that you will be able to avoid the shelling of the Northern Army.

The Russian army's own artillery has been destroyed for many days of fighting. In addition, the Russian army's logistical supply lines are too fragile, and it is difficult to get supplies for artillery shells. So much so that although the Russian army still has more than a hundred cannons, it stopped firing because there were no shells. This also allowed the artillery of the Northern Army to concentrate on pouring shells on the soldiers of the Russian army.

"Da Da Da!" As the Russian army got closer and closer to the positions of the Northern Army. Light and heavy machine guns also began to roar. The machine gunners of the Northern Army were already numb. In the face of the attack of the Russian army, that dense formation undoubtedly gave them an excellent opportunity. They just need to point the muzzle of the gun at the Russian army and pull the trigger. The blazing bullets will take away the sinful lives of these Russians after they fly out of the chamber.

At the beginning of the battle, the soldiers of the Northern Army were still feeling their blood boiling. However, as more and more Russian troops are killed. Gradually, they have also become numb. Now they are no different from killing machines. It's just a mechanical pull of the trigger. And then take away the lives of the Russian army. Kill the Russian army, for them. It's no different from killing a pig or a chicken.

Every time the Russian army attacked, it would leave a corpse in front of the positions of the Northern Army. However, even so, the Russian army is still happy with it, as if they don't care about these losses at all.

In comparison, the losses of the Northern Army were much smaller. Merely. The consumption of weapons and ammunition is much greater. Even so, the Northern Army is quite worthwhile. It is much better to consume the lives of the Russian army with weapons and ammunition than to exchange the lives of your own soldiers.

Night attacks are still the usual means of the Russian army. Only at this time will the powerful firepower of the Northern Army be greatly limited. Only then did the Russian army have a chance to break through the defense line of the Northern Army. Switch to white-knuckle combat. Only in this way will the Russian army have a chance to break through the defense line of the Northern Army.

As time passed, perhaps because of the increasing number of casualties. The intensity of the Russian army's attacks is also significantly reduced. At the same time, the officers and men of the Northern Army were also very tired. If it weren't for the strong fortifications as a backing, it might have been broken through by the Russian army a long time ago!

"Damn, why are those yellow-skinned monkeys still so powerful? If we continue like this, we won't be able to survive at all. Admiral Vladimir was distraught. The logistics officer had just reported to him that their supplies would only last five days. After five days, the soldiers will be without ammunition and at the same time without food. This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Russian army.

Although, now the logistics supply lines of the Russian army are still unblocked. But from Irkutsk to Kulen, it is more than a thousand kilometers. In the case of difficult roads, it is simply impossible to guarantee the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops at the front. What's more, this logistical supply line may be cut off by the Northern Army at any time. If the logistical supply line is cut off, it will be completely finished.

Now there are only two options in front of Admiral Vladimir, one is to go on the offensive and launch the most fierce attack. If Kulen can be captured, then all crises will be over. The Northern Army has stored a large amount of weapons, ammunition and food in Kulen, which can fully guarantee the consumption of the Russian army. The second is to retreat immediately while the main force is still there. In this case, it will definitely be pursued by the Northern Army. However, the main force of the Russian army still exists, and the war materials have not yet been consumed, so it is still very possible to evacuate the Mongolian steppe and return to Russia.

However, this was a dilemma for Admiral Vladimir. If he chooses to retreat, then he will definitely be asked to bear the responsibility for the defeat. The best result was also dismissal from the military. If you're unlucky, you can even lose your life. If he can defeat the Northern Army and capture Kulen, then he will be the hero of the Russian Army.

"No, I can't fail, I have to take Cullen." Admiral Vladimir thought secretly. Only in this way is it in his best interest and for Russia as a whole.

In Kulun City, Wu Haoxuan and Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu were also discussing the battle situation.

"Young marshal, the Russians are getting weaker and weaker, they are almost exhausted. However, our soldiers are also very tired. The number of dead and seriously wounded soldiers in the entire army has exceeded 15,000. Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu said.

Wu Haoxuan nodded, the losses of the Northern Army were indeed very large. But again, they inflicted more casualties on the Russian army. What's more, the Russian army has been completely dragged in Kulen. Calculating the time, there should not be much left of the Russian monarch's war materials. Soon, the counterattack will begin.

"Send the reserves to the third line of defense. Tonight, let the troops defending the second line of defense withdraw. The more we are at this time, the more we must give the Russians a chance, lest the Russians turn around and flee at the critical moment. Wu Haoxuan said.

Even if the Russians chose to retreat at this time, they probably couldn't escape under the frantic pursuit of the Northern Army. However, if the Northern Army wants to completely annihilate this Russian army, it will definitely pay a lot of casualties. If these Russian troops can be firmly dragged to Kulen, and then forced to the point of running out of ammunition and food, the Northern Army will be able to annihilate them all at the lowest cost.

"Yes, young marshal!" Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu nodded.

That night, the Northern Army withdrew from the second line of defense. The 23rd Infantry Division, a reserve that had not been used, was also stationed in the third line of defense, preparing to resist the final attack of the Russian army.

On the morning of August 8, the Russian army launched another attack. However, they were surprised that they did not encounter any resistance. They easily captured the second line of defense of the Northern Army.

This news boosted the morale of the Russian generals, who were originally a little depressed.

"Haha, are those yellow-skinned monkeys really unable to withstand the attack of our great Russian Army? Otherwise, how could they voluntarily abandon their positions? Order the whole army, launch the fiercest attack, tear through the last line of defense of those yellow-skinned monkeys in one go, and attack the city of Kulun! Admiral Vladimir gave the order in high spirits.

The soldiers of the Russian army also mustered up the last courage and launched an attack on the positions of the Northern Army. However, they were still greeted by the ferocious firepower of the Northern Army, and the Russian army was dizzy.

On the contrary, it was the Russian army, as if it was returning to the light, and the intensity of the attack soon began to decline.

There was only one line left of the Northern Army's defense line outside the city of Kulun. This gave Admiral Vladimir a hope. But it was also this hope that directly dragged him and hundreds of thousands of Russian troops into a desperate situation.

"Young marshal, Lao Maozi's attack is very fierce. But we still stopped it. It can be seen that they are desperate. Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu smiled. The more fierce the Russian offensive, the more it means that the Russian army has been firmly dragged down.

"Well, the cavalry is ready, right? Let them prepare to make their hands and cut off the logistical supply lines of the Russians. This time, we're going to catch turtles in an urn! Wu Haoxuan said with a smile. (To be continued......)
