ALTHOUGH SOME ARTILLERY WAS DEPLOYED ON THE BACK OF THE HILLS, THEY WERE ALSO UNABLE TO EVADE THE ATTACKS OF BOMBERS AND GROUND ATTACK AIRCRAFT, AND THESE PLANES EITHER USED ORDINARY HIGH-EXPLOSIVE SHELLS OR 20MM MACHINE GUNS TO SWEEP THE ENTIRE POSITION OVER AND OVER AGAIN, COMPLETELY SUPPRESSING THE RUSSIAN ARTILLERY, AND SOON, THE RUSSIAN ARMY IN CHARGE OF COUNTERATTACKING FOUND THAT SMOKE WAS BILLOWING FROM THE REAR OF THEIR POSITIONS, AND THE LONG-RANGE FIREPOWER THEY RELIED ON WAS ALMOST GONE. At this time, they were fighting head-on with the Huaxia Army.

Head-to-head combat is always the favorite mode of combat of the superior side, when a small number of Russian tanks in the elite infantry to launch a counterattack towards the steel torrent of China, the result of the battle has been locked, 75MM artillery fired tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells at a distance of 800 meters lightly shredded the opponent's armor, lined up tanks in a very short time to destroy the Russian armored forces in the pig rush. The Russians have too few tanks, and the gap in performance is large. After the tank unit was defeated, the remaining infantry had no way to survive, and the intertwined fire network of mortars and machine guns instantly tore through the opponent's attack formation, and a considerable part of the Russian officers and soldiers were killed in the first round of engagement, while the rest of the people either stuck their bodies to the ground or could only huddle behind a certain cover.

The will of the Russians was rapidly depleted under the baptism of the steel storm, and Denikin's Guards, worthy of the name of the elite, did not collapse quickly under such a blow, on the contrary, the Russian officers on the front line also tried to use the first-line support fire to meet the remaining troops and retreat to their positions. At this moment, all the hidden weapons were fired, and they either used their fire to suppress the Russian infantry that rushed up. Or shoot a smoke screen to stop the other party from pursuing. The Russian troops and reserves in other positions are quickly concentrated towards the breakthrough, and the counterattack has been routed, so it is very likely that the opponent will directly break through the position and then drive a wedge. And this is undoubtedly a precursor to the collapse of the defensive line!

"The mud bodhisattva crossing the river is difficult to protect himself, and he still wants to save others?" Cai Yi, who was in charge of the direct attack, said with a sneer. His task was to quickly defeat the enemy in front of him, and then attack the already empty Russian defensive positions, and as for the troops that were being reinforced, Cai was not worried, because the air force would delay their attack. And when these Russians climbed to the front line, the towed artillery behind the Chinese Army was also in place. In the face of the Russians, who may not even have time to unfold, Cai Ye is not worried at all.

Swarms of Sparrowhawk fighters were constantly circling over the Russian troops, because time was of the essence. The Russians simply did not have time to dig out communication trenches for the passage of large forces. What's more, they also need to carry heavy equipment such as artillery or heavy machine guns, so they can only climb out of the trenches and advance in the unsheltered wilderness, which is undoubtedly the best target for Sparrowhawks with various anti-infantry bombs and machine guns, accompanied by the dive of a Sparrowhawk. Three tongues of fire swept towards an advancing Russian army on the opposite side. SEVERAL SOLDIERS WHO DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO DODGE WERE INSTANTLY SMASHED INTO A MESS OF MEAT BY THE POWERFUL 12.7MM MACHINE GUN. The rest of the soldiers quickly dispersed in search of cover. But for those artillerymen who control the horses and tow the artillery. Cover must not be found at this time, otherwise God knows where these frightened animals will throw the gun carriage! So they have to brave the bombardment and strafing of the other side to control the horses, and this is undoubtedly the best target!

Several small anti-infantry bombs exploded in the artillery team behind, and the shrapnel instantly knocked several horses to the ground, and the riot caused by the explosion caused the entire artillery team to lose control. Even the infantry next to them desperately came up to maintain it, but they could not stop the frightened horses. To be honest, the damage caused by a few planes circling in the air was not very great, but the confusion caused and the constant blow to morale made it difficult for this unit. Some Russian soldiers tried to set up machine guns to attack the seemingly slow flying creatures, but alas, a single elevation angle made it impossible for most of the machine guns to attack the hovering planes. It was easy for a few people to add up the few Huaxia general-purpose machine guns and not wait for the shot. Raindrop-like bomblets fell from the sky.

THE BOMB, KNOWN AS SUBMUNITIONS, WAS DESIGNED TO DISINTEGRATE IN THE AIR AND DROP BOMBLETS OF AROUND 4KG. This kind of bomb can cover a considerable area with just one shot, and of course the idea is beautiful, but in reality it is rather tragic, and some bombs fail to drop bullets even if they land. Although some bombs threw bullets, the situation of the bullet division was really flattering, and in some places a bunch of small bombs exploded continuously, while in some places there was not a single bomb for half a day.

But this kind of heavenly maiden scattered flower attack is indeed more effective than those ordinary bombs, even if it is very immature, these flowers of death scattered in the air will blow up the already scattered Russian army even more, and at the same time, those equipped with 20MM guns and even 37MM guns have also begun to join the ranks of sweeping the ground, and the powerful 37MM high-explosive bombs have become the god of death to harvest the enemy's life. Under the repeated attacks and suppression of various aircraft, the Russian reinforcements simply could not reach the battlefield on time. Even if individual units finally arrived on the battlefield, they also discarded a lot of heavy weapons with their troops, and the Russian army, which had lost its artillery and machine guns, faced Cai Yi's attack can be described as papier-mâché. There were even a few Russian units that were directly scattered by the ferocious firepower and completely lost their effectiveness. Under the guidance and cooperation of the air, Cai's armored troops, after successfully crushing the opponent's counterattack, directly cut through the main line of defense and drove several wedges into it. All that remains is for the infantry to occupy and then continue to advance in depth and eventually cut through the opposing line.

Although the total strength of the Russian army still has a numerical advantage, Denikin knows that he has been defeated, and his own arrangement will not play a role in the face of the attack of the Chinese army. And in this morning's engagement, an artillery regiment has been heavily damaged by the opposing air force and counter-battery fire, and an armored battalion has also lost all its money. Coupled with the loss of other technical equipment, the gap between the Russian army and its opponents will be even greater. A night attack may have been an option, but the Chinese Army did not rush in, their infantry and armored units were well connected, and they quickly consolidated their positions after occupying them to defend against possible counterattacks. The chances of winning if you continue to fight are very small, it is just the difference between early death and late death.

"Withdraw from Kurgan and leave at night. We can't just waste the last of our elites. After much deliberation, Denikin made a decision that came as a surprise to everyone. That's retreat, I can't beat you, it's always okay not to fight, right? Peng Yi's lone army was deep, the supply line was very long, and his own strength was not superior, so the possibility of immediate pursuit was very small. In addition, Denikin felt that Peng Yi's goal was only to occupy the land and not to destroy himself, and they needed to consolidate the occupied areas rather than rush to grab them like the Mongol cavalry did back then.

More importantly, Denikin needs to keep this last elite, whether it is to protect the people who follow him or choose a future way out, this force is indispensable, it can't beat the Chinese Army, but with this force, at least it can ensure that it will hold on to the forces of the Russian Provisional Government for a while. And if this force is lost, Denikin and the Kolchak group will no longer be able to control the situation, maybe Huaxia can finally force itself to have no way out, and maybe one day, this elite army will be eaten by those usurpers in St. Petersburg bit by bit. But no matter how bad the ending is, it's better than dying now!

Of course, there is another reason that Denikin will not say, and that is the confusion about the future. He was already sure that his goal could not be achieved, and that as long as the Germans were undefeated, then the Russian Provisional Government, with the help of the Germans, could finally say that its own group of people could be annihilated by the strength of a nation, and that the Russian civilians were already very war-weary and had no hope of winning Germany. There was no contact between himself and the Entente countries, no foreign aid, and behind him was the encirclement and interception of China.

In fact, in his heart, he thought that surrendering to Huaxia was not an impossible thing, at least the latter would give the vast majority of people a way to live. In the future, his own deployment may be even better than before the war. There were two great wars between China and Russia, and in Denikin's perception, the other side was not a bloodthirsty butcher. As for national feelings? Well, Denikin had to admit that at least half of his troops were non-Russians, they could be Poles, Ukrainians, Belarusians or Cossacks. They don't miss the country that once oppressed them. Some can only be hatred.

After making up his mind, Denikin would definitely not hesitate, and after leaving the troops behind, the main force began to withdraw that night, and Peng Yi did not immediately chase after discovering it. Because he knew that the future opponent of this army would be the Russian Provisional Government rather than the Chinese troops, and judging from the telegram, Denikin's transfer of troops to block the Chinese army had already made the front line very tight. Since the other party is out of the way, Peng Yi, who aims at occupation, will naturally not kill them all, and he also hopes that this force can bring trouble to the Russian Provisional Government. At the same time, the task of waiting in the backyard and expanding the control area north also makes him inclined to avoid unnecessary battles. Soon we will be able to reach the birthplace of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and the final territory of China and Russia will stop there!
