386 Battle March Converter
Intense smoke covered the entire river, and the people on the ship couldn't even see the water surface more than ten meters away, let alone fire back, the fleet was blocked on the river for a while, and Yu Ming's task was only to cover the retreat of the Third Division, so he did not continue to open artillery to expand the results of the battle.
However, the commander of the Russian fleet did not know the task of Lu Dao Yuming, and after he learned that two gunboats in front had been hit, he instinctively thought that the Chinese gunboats would continue to attack, sink more gunboats, and even threaten the troop carriers behind.
So the commander of the Russian fleet decisively ordered to return, and Yu Ming did not order his subordinates to pursue, and the Russian army hurriedly retreated back to the fishing port.
At 10 o'clock in the morning of October 30, the 3rd Division successfully withdrew to the west bank of the Heilongjiang River, and an hour later, the 103rd Division, the 104th Division and the 24th Cavalry Brigade of the 1st Army of the Russian Army also arrived at the riverside and joined the 102nd Division.
The construction speed of the Russian pontoon bridge was not fast, so Grodko ordered the 24th Cavalry Brigade to take the lead in crossing the river, this cavalry brigade was mainly composed of Cossack cavalry, and the Cossack Cavalry Brigade hated Lin Yuan a lot more than Grodzeko, they were ambushed by Lin Yuan in the Black Blind Valley, and a battalion was annihilated, which made them very embarrassed, the Cossacks had never lost so badly!
Therefore, the Cossack cavalry, without taking a break, quickly crossed the river, and the first regiment of cavalry crossed the Heilongjiang River at 12 o'clock, and after they crossed the river, they rushed straight to the retreating Chinese troops.
The first cavalry regiment not only had to pursue and annihilate the Chinese troops, but they also had a more important mission, that is, to pull back the artillery that Lin Yuan deliberately left, the total weight of the artillery was nearly thirty tons, and it was impossible for the Russian soldiers to carry it back, so they could only use horse-pulled, a cavalry platoon of more than 30 people, with spare war horses, to rush towards the artillery position.
At this time, the three brigades of the Third Division had already withdrawn to a distance of about five kilometers from the river according to the predetermined plan, and they had established three lines of defense, and as long as a regiment of cavalry attacked them, they would inevitably run into these three lines.
At 12:30, the forward of the first cavalry regiment hit the first line of defense, and a fierce battle began, Lin Yuan took into account the cavalry of the Russian army when he was building the fortifications, so he placed a lot of antlers on the defensive line, these antlers were all over the front of the position, and the cavalry's impact speed could not be exerted, and there was no progress for a while.
The cavalry of the Russian army is generally equipped with cavalry artillery, but in order to catch up with the Chinese troops as soon as possible, they threw the heavy cavalry artillery in the rear and did not bring it.
The Russian commander then came up with a roundabout way, and a cavalry company outflanked from the left flank of the position, but the trenches of the Chinese troops were arc-shaped, and the weapons in the hands of the soldiers had a fast rate of fire, so the Russian cavalry lost more than half of them without breaking through. The offensive and defensive battle between the two sides lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon, during this time, the third division fought and retreated, getting closer and closer to Lahassusu, and Lin Yuan ordered the troops left behind in the city of Lahassusu to mobilize the people in the city and retreat back to the city of Sanxing.
Lin Yuan did mobilization after the Battle of Lahassusu, indicating that it was very dangerous here and that it was necessary to evacuate at any time, and the people also knew that it was not safe to stay in Lahassusu, so they packed up their things in advance, and just waited for an order to evacuate, and as soon as Lin Yuan's mobilization order was issued, the people in the city evacuated by land and water.
Grogerko quickly learned the news, and he thought to himself: "Lin Yuan is trying to play a trick with me, it's too naΓ―ve, our Great Russian Empire used this trick to win against Napoleon!" "Grogerko's self-confidence is not unreasonable, the Russian army has indeed hoarded a lot of food, which is enough for them to support for a while.
Lin Yuan quickly noticed the Russian cavalry that was heading to the artillery position, what they were going to do Lin Yuan knew very well, that is, to snatch the artillery, Lin Yuan then called Chen Fei.
Lin Yuan asked, "How are you preparing?" β
Chen Fei smiled: "Everything is ready, you can go at any time." β
Lin Yuan said: "My order is that you take people and get that cannon back." β
Chen Fei asked suspiciously, "What does this mean?" You deliberately left it to the Russians, and now you have to take it back. β
Lin Yuan smiled: "When the time comes, you will naturally understand." β
Chen Fei didn't ask anymore, he took Yao Feng of the artillery battalion and a company of the mountain division to the artillery position, and when he approached the artillery position, Chen Fei found Zuo Dahu, it turned out that according to Lin Yuan's order, Zuo Dahu stayed near the artillery position and did not leave, and kept staring at the Russian army.
Chen Fei asked, "What did the Russians do with that artillery?" β
Zuo Dahu replied: "They seem to want to transport the artillery away, but the artillery is too heavy for them to lift at all, so there is no way to put the wheels down." β
Chen Fei turned around and asked Yao Feng: "If the cannon Russians can't transport it, can we transport it?" β
Yao Feng replied: "Our artillery is a towed artillery, when marching, the wheels fall to the ground, so that the cattle can pull the cart, and before firing, you need to lift the wheels and put the hoe on the ground, but the artillery is too heavy, if people move it is impossible, so a combat march converter is installed on it, and the main part is a ball screw." β
"This battle marching converter can lift the artillery, much like a jack, this thing is the first time in this era, the Russians have certainly not seen it, they won't use it, but we will, we'll go over in a while, convert the artillery into a marching state, and then pull it away."
Chen Fei nodded and ordered the soldiers beside him: "Pass down the order and get ready for battle." β
At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and it turned out that the cavalry platoon of the Russian army also arrived at this time, Chen Fei looked at the terrain and ordered: "First platoon, you go to the small hill over there to ambush, the second and third rows get on the horses, and ambush with me in the bushes opposite the mountain bag." β
When Zuo Dahu heard that there was nothing to do with him, he hurriedly said, "Senior Commander Chen, what are the brothers of our guard company doing?" β
Chen Fei raised his hand and pointed into the distance, and said: "Seeing that road, if you get out, you will definitely take that road, you quietly bypass the bushes on this side, ambush on both sides of the road, and catch the ** off guard." β
After the order was deployed, the divisions began to move, the first to move was a row on the hill, their bazooka hands were the first to attack, the Russian army would not use the converter, so the Russian cavalry dismounted, wanted to raise the artillery, and then put away the garrison hoe, so that the horses were empty on the side.
The bazooka man aimed at the open space next to the herd, and a rocket hit it, and the strong explosion startled the horses into running in all directions, and the Cossack cavalry had a peculiarity, their horses were never tied to trees, and the horses were unrestrained, and they ran more happily.
When Perov saw that there were Chinese on the mountain bag of the Dao Mountain, he hurriedly led the officer corps to rush up, and just fell into Chen Fei's encirclement.
