It is undoubtedly shameful that the Russians dared to use civilians to coerce the defenders in Shengjing. Of course, this did make it a little difficult for the defenders in the city to choose. However, during war, human life is fragile. Ordinary people will become victims of war, obviously it is none of his business, but many times unjustified disasters will befall them. These ordinary Chinese, they just live their lives plainly, but bad luck befalls them. If there had been no war, they would not have suffered such an ordeal. However, if there is no strong country, such a fate will befall them sooner or later.
The imperial emperor Long Yufei, who traveled back, still remembers that dark history. If it weren't for him turning the tide and leading the people to work hard to make the country strong, perhaps China would have become the target of wanton oppression by the Western powers.
"Bang!" A crisp gunshot rang out. The low-ranking officer of the Russian army, who had slashed the old Chinese man to death, was shot in the head. His body slowly fell backwards, as if he couldn't believe that the Imperial Army would actually open fire. The commanders had told them before, and if they had these Chinese as shields, they could go all the way to Shengjing without hindrance. Then lightly blow up the walls of Shengjing City and enter the city. When the time comes, victory will be within reach. For the Imperial Army in Shengjing, the Russians also gritted their teeth with hatred. The 4th Cavalry Corps had previously lost 20,000 elite Cossack cavalry here. On November 3, the Russian 11th Infantry Corps lost another 20,000 men here. The Russians were eager to tear the Imperial defenders of the city to pieces. For coercing ordinary Chinese to attack the city. Although there is some shame, these Russians simply do not care. All they care about is to achieve the final victory and take Shengjing City. Kill all the defenders of the Chinese Empire inside!
This gunshot sounded as if it were a signal. The imperial soldiers on the western wall of Shengjing City opened fire one after another. Mortars, infantry guns, heavy machine guns and rifles, all the firepower poured down on the heads of the Russians. Row after row of Russian troops were knocked to the ground, and their sinful lives have since vanished. The Imperial artillery, which had been silent, also opened fire again. More than two hundred cannons began to roar. Throw shells on the heads of Russian troops and tear them to shreds. The soldiers of the Imperial Army, almost all of them shouted tears and opened fire. These old hairy people actually dare to threaten them with the lives of their compatriots. This undoubtedly infuriated them. Though. Everyone sympathizes with these compatriots, but the safety of Shengjing City is even more important. For the sake of the final victory, the necessary sacrifices are inevitable. They can do it. It is to avenge these dead compatriots.
"Bastard. Kill these Chinese! Annoyed and angry, the officers and soldiers of the Russian army attacked those defenseless old and weak women and children. One after another, Chinese people died tragically at the guns of the Russian army. However, these Russian troops were later shot and killed by soldiers of the Imperial Army.
The conspiracy of the Russian army was shattered at this moment. They originally wanted to rely on the cover of these Chinese civilians to rush all the way to the foot of Shengjing City. But now, it's falling short. And, under the heavy fire of the Imperial Army, they would pay heavy losses.
"Damn! How so? How could those Chinese open fire? Do they not care about the lives of their fellow citizens? Won't they be blamed by other Chinese? The emperor of the Chinese Empire will not let them go! Colonel Nevelskoy muttered. It seems that he can't believe what is happening in front of him. Originally, Qiē was going according to plan, and his plan seemed to be about to succeed. This made him very satisfied. With these credits, he will have more opportunities for promotion. However, he never expected that at the last critical moment, the Chinese * army actually opened fire. Under the blow of intensive fire of the Chinese * army, the Russian army paid a heavy price for this.
"It's a pity! What a shame! The generals of the Russian army said regretfully. Originally, they were about to succeed, but in the end, they still fell short. Lieutenant General Sergei, commander of the 5th Infantry Corps of the Russian Army, is even more pale, and now he is being slaughtered by the Chinese Army, but his subordinates! It can be expected that the two infantry divisions sent to attack will definitely pay a heavy price!
"Sergey, seize this opportunity! Order the troops to storm! We don't have any other chance! Muraviyov, the Governor-General of the Far East, said. Although their plan did not succeed in the end, they were now less than five hundred meters away from the walls of Shengjing City. The distance of five hundred meters is not long for a well-trained soldier, and it only takes a few minutes to be able to rush through. Since their plan has failed, the task of capturing Shengjing City is not over yet, and they can only turn to a strong attack! Otherwise, all the hard work you have put in will be in vain!
"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor!" Lieutenant General Sergei nodded and quickly gave the order.
Originally, under the intensive fire of the Imperial Army, these Russian troops suffered heavy losses. Coupled with the fact that officers were constantly being shot, their command was already in disarray. After a steady stream of comrades being shot or torn to pieces by shells, the Russian attacking forces inevitably suffered a rout. However, after Lieutenant General Sergei's order was given in time, the remaining Russian troops finally found a direction for the offensive. They began to spread their legs and quickly rushed towards Shengjing City. However, he was hit by a bullet before he could take a few steps, fell to the ground, and died no more!
More and more Russian troops rushed towards Shengjing City, wanting to seize this opportunity and blow up the walls of Shengjing City in one fell swoop. In the rear of the battlefield, more than 20,000 cavalrymen of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian army were also ready to attack. As soon as the walls of Shengjing City were blown up, they would charge. Then they took the opportunity to enter Shengjing City and reap the lives of those Chinese* troops with their sabers.
However, it is clear that the Russian offensive will not succeed. When they rushed to a hundred meters from the city wall, they encountered a minefield. Many Russian soldiers stepped on the mine and were blown up. A lot of people were torn to shreds. It also frightened the other Russians. Their attacks were contained alive. And this also gave the Chinese* army the opportunity to seize this time to shoot those Russian troops.
It was not easy to rush through the mine array, but the defense line composed of three barbed wire fences blocked the way of these Russian troops. There were countless barbs on the barbed wire, stabbing those who tried to climb over the barbed wire with blood and screaming inhumanly. The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army on Shengjing City desperately shot those Russian troops with the weapons in their hands. Especially the soldiers who operated the heavy machine guns, their fingers were almost numb from the long pull of the trigger. The bullets rained down on the Russian soldiers, killing them all.
The huge casualties made those Russian troops timid, even if they launched a mad attack and were not afraid of death, but the comrades around them fell one after another, which was enough to calm them down. Soon, because of fear, the Russian army collapsed. More and more Russian troops began to rout. The Russian offensive also collapsed as a result. Only corpses were left everywhere. Among these piles of corpses, there are also the corpses of Chinese civilians who have given their innocent lives for this war! And this qiē is all evil done by the Russians!
Seeing the rout of the Russian army, Governor Muravyov's face turned pale. He knew that after the failure of this attack, the Russian army had no chance to conquer Shengjing City again. Since the Chinese defenders in the city did not care about the lives of those compatriots this time, then next time, such a trick will not work. It is completely impossible for the Russian army to conquer Shengjing City, which is heavily defended by the Chinese * army. This result made Governor Muravyov very angry, but more helpless.
Next, the Russian army continued to try new methods in an attempt to conquer Shengjing. However, under the strict defense of the 14th and 17th armies of the Imperial Army, the Russian army simply refused to succeed. After seeing the powerful firepower of the Imperial Army, the Russian army was not willing to invest a large number of troops to attack the city, because it was basically just going to die! The battle under Shengjing City has reached a stalemate.
After the Russian army coerced Chinese civilians to attack Shengjing, after repelling the Russian attack, Major General Chen Wenjie, commander of the 17th Army of the Imperial Army, personally reported to the General Staff by telegram. General Niu Meng, chief of the General Staff, was very angry, and immediately took a telegram and entered the palace to report to the emperor Long Yufei.
"Your Majesty, those old hairy people are so shameless, they actually drove ordinary people to attack the city! It's just shameless! Admiral Niu Meng said angrily.
After Emperor Long Yufei understood what had happened, his whole face suddenly turned pale. The Russians simply don't play by the rules. Although the two sides are now at war, Long Yufei never thought that the Russians would dare to do this! Fortunately, the Russian attack was repulsed, otherwise, the Imperial Army would have suffered heavy losses!
"Those old hairy people are simply looking for death! I swear, those ordinary people will not die in vain. Russia will pay for it. When we invade Russia, we will return it to those Russians a thousand times over! Long Yufei said coldly. Since those Russians have no lower limit, then once the Imperial Army invades Russia, it will definitely not treat those Russians as human beings. (To be continued......)
