Chapter 1181: People and money are empty

In the Gulf of Finland, on the sea, four 'Eastern Han-class' battleships and four 'Western Han-class' battleships of the Imperial Navy's 5th Fleet were firing at the predetermined direction according to the number of shelling provided by the cavalry. Orange-red flames flashed in the hideous muzzle, and huge cannonballs, under the influence of the kinetic energy generated by the flames, flew quickly into the distance.

On the outskirts of Sester, a coalition of Russian troops and the Prussian Army in Russian uniforms is launching an offensive against Sester, hoping to tear through the Chinese cavalry line and attack Sester. Snatch the gold and silver treasures that have not yet had time to be loaded into the ship. Watching two billion dollars worth of wealth being transported away by the Chinese was a huge blow to both the Russians and the Prussians.

"Whew! Shout! Shout! A sharp whistling sound sounded in the air, as if a person's eardrum would be torn apart.

"Heavy artillery! Heavy artillery for the Chinese! Lie down! Some of the experienced officers shouted and immediately fell to the ground.

Among these officers were Russians as well as Prussians. So much so that among their shouts, Russian was mixed with German.

"Boom! Rumble! "Cannonballs fell from the sky and exploded on the ground, and the whole earth seemed to tremble. Dirt mixed with gravel flew all over the sky, and when it fell, the people who smashed it were screaming. However, this is already considered lucky. Those who were more unlucky were killed directly in the shelling, and the explosion of the shells of the large-caliber naval guns was enough to tear them to pieces.

Whether it is 305 mm shells or 280 mm shells, or even 155 mm naval artillery shells, it is not something that manpower can compete. In the offensive launched by the Russian army and the Prussian army against Sest. Immediately encountered heavy shelling from the Imperial Navy.

"Hell! Chinese Navy. Did their navy appear in Shester? Are we going to attack at the risk of the large-caliber naval guns of their navy? "Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta roared. He saw with his own eyes his soldiers being torn to shreds by powerful naval artillery shells, and severed limbs flying all over the air. Originally, he thought. Such a scene can only be seen in hell. But now. The entire battlefield on the outskirts of Shester has become hell. Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta regretted it a little, and he suddenly realized that the Kingdom of Prussia should not have participated in this war at all. Although the wealth of the Russians is important, the lives of the soldiers are equally important!

The commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Duke Gorchakov, and the chief of staff, Marshal Wittgenstein, also had very ugly faces. Even with the help of the Prussians. They still could not break through the lines of the Chinese cavalry. Although the Chinese cavalry retreated from Huangcun to Sest, this was not their credit, but the Chinese cavalry retreated on their own. At the same time, they also took away all the gold and silver treasures in the treasure trove in the royal village.

"Damn, those Chinese are loading our wealth onto the ship, if we can't stop them, then we have no other way!" Duke Gorchakov roared angrily. However, at the moment, although the Russian army is very heroic, it faces the defense line of the Chinese cavalry. But there is no way to break through. After all, after the Chinese cavalry was supported by intensive fire from the sea, the Russians could no longer complete their goal.

Marshal Wittgenstein's brows furrowed tightly. Message of the entry of the Chinese Navy into the Baltic Sea. He already knew. However, they didn't take it seriously before. After all, the Russian Navy has fallen. There are not even a few steam battleships, in such a situation. Even if the Chinese Navy intrudes into Russia's territorial waters, Russia will not be able to respond.

But now it seems. This qiē has been planned by the Chinese for a long time. In addition to deterring the Kingdom of Prussia, the more important purpose of the Chinese navy's entry into the Baltic Sea was to cooperate with the Chinese cavalry's actions this time. After the Chinese cavalry captured the royal village, the Chinese navy was responsible for taking the huge wealth with them. If the Chinese Army chooses to transport these riches by land, it will be very difficult, and at the same time, it will be surrounded and intercepted by the Russian army and even the Prussian Army. However, from sea transportation, there is no country in the world that can stop the Chinese Navy.

"The Chinese are too cunning, they have long known the location of the wealth of the royal family, and specially planned this operation!" Marshal Wittgenstein gritted his teeth.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The Chinese Navy is still desperately pouring shells, 36 305 mm naval guns and 40 280 mm naval guns, as well as hundreds of 155 mm naval guns, constituting a powerful fire strike, so that the Russian army and the Prussian army are simply unable to resist. Many of their soldiers were blown into the sky by the shells of the Chinese Navy directly on the way to attack.

Suddenly, there was a violent explosion in the artillery positions of the Prussian army, and a black mushroom cloud rose from the sky.

"General, the ammunition depot of the artillery position was hit, and our artillery suffered heavy losses!" A staff officer turned pale to Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta reported. Ralk at the moment. Feng. The expression on Lieutenant General Sosta's face was so gloomy that it could almost drip water.

"Order the artillery, withdraw from the position!" Ralke. Feng. Lieutenant General Sosta gave the order. In the face of the formidable naval artillery of the Chinese Navy, the artillery of the Prussian Army was simply useless. If you go into battle, it's more like looking for death.

"Yes, General!" The staff officer immediately went to deliver the order. Soon, all the surviving Prussian artillery was withdrawn.

Without the suppression of the Prussian artillery, the firepower of the Imperial cavalry became even stronger. The field artillery of the Imperial cavalry also began to join the battle, inflicting more casualties on the Russian and Prussian armies.

Although, the Russian army was not afraid to attack the defense line of the Imperial cavalry. However, as more and more people fall. The morale of the Russian army and the Prussian army is declining rapidly. Especially the Prussian army, who are now wearing the uniforms of the Russian army, which makes them feel a sense of shame in their hearts. Many Prussian soldiers were willing to die in battle for the good of their country, but they were not willing to die in Russian uniforms.

This directly led to the attack of the Prussian army, as if it was perfunctory. And the Imperial cavalry, the pressure is getting less and less.

The Prussian attack was getting weaker and weaker, and the direct Russian army paid heavy casualties. The Imperial Navy focused on the Russians.

As casualties mounted, the Russian army inevitably fled. Many Russian troops don't want to continue fighting. They don't want to die like this without any sense.

On the positions of the Chinese cavalry, everyone cheered because of the rout of the Russian army. Watching the Russian army retreat like a tide, they knew that they had won this battle.

"The naval guns are really powerful, the Russians have retreated. It is estimated that they no longer have the courage to continue the attack. In this morning's battle, the Russians lost at least tens of thousands of men! Song Xinyu, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Army, said excitedly.

Now, the Imperial cavalry has completed the set task, not only snatching the wealth of the Russian royal family, but also inflicting great casualties on the Russian army. Arguably, they have already won.

"Yes! I thought those Russians were really not afraid of death. As a result, now, too! However, their table xiàn, compared to other Russian troops, is already very good! Major General Zhong Wenquan, commander of the 4th Cavalry Corps, also said.

"Commander, we have captured some prisoners. There is something wrong with these captives, though! A staff officer came in and reported.

"What's wrong?" Major General Song Xinyu and Major General Zhong Wenquan were a little puzzled.

"These prisoners of war speak German, not Russian! However, what they are wearing is the uniform of the Russian army. ”

"German? The Prussians, who pretended to be Russians to attack us? I'll just say, why did the appearance of these Russians suddenly change so much, it turned out that these Prussians were the devil! Major General Song Xinyu shouted.

"These Prussians, are they trying to go to war with us? How dare you use such an indiscriminate method! Major General Zhong Wenquan was very angry.

"Humph! I guess these Prussians are seeing that we have gotten so much wealth from the Russians, so they are red-eyed! They want to take it back, and they are afraid of offending us. That's why they did it! ”

"No, you can't just leave it at that. When someone comes, the Prussians must be interrogated strictly, and the evidence must be obtained in definitive evidence, and then reported to the General Staff, so that the Reich can negotiate with the Prussians. Damn the Prussians, they actually let us lose so many brothers, and the Empire will definitely not be able to spare them without giving an explanation to the Empire! Major General Zhong Wenquan shouted.

If it weren't for these Prussians, the Imperial cavalry might not have paid such a big loss at all. Although the battle is not over yet, the losses of the imperial cavalry are probably several thousand. Seeing that the war is coming to an end, the empire has paid such a big loss, which is really undeserved. The Prussians, who were the culprits, naturally could not be spared.

"Well, that's it." Major General Song Xinyu also nodded.

Although everyone is an ally, the Prussians' this well-done approach is obviously too much. The generals of the empire will naturally be dissatisfied.

In any case, the empire still gained a lot in this golden battle, not only obtained so many treasures, but also beat the Russians and Prussians in Russian military uniforms. Russia and Prussia, on the other hand, were empty of men and money, and watched as the Imperial Army carried away those gold and silver treasures. (To be continued......)
