"Commander, I heard that there is a lot of fighting over there. Our two cavalry regiments of the Ming Dynasty ran away, so that now the Russians look down on us a little. ”

"Don't listen to their nonsense, they dare to look down on our Liao army?

The cavalry is now a patrol and reconnaissance role, do you think it was still the cavalry of ten or twenty years ago?

The Mongol cavalry was mighty, but you don't know where their bones were.

If it's me with the cavalry, I'll run away with a fucking girl.

The machine gun burst out of the way, and it's not a fucking thing. ”

Liu Wenxiu rode a tall Don hippopotamus and led his men to patrol the Don River.

In the past few days, the airship has found some traces. It seems that there are troops moving towards the Don River!

Now the northern front is in full swing, but the defense line on the Don River in the south seems somewhat calm.

It was far from Warsaw, and it was very difficult for the European coalition to come here.

So, there aren't many troops here.

The Russian army only deployed ten unsatisfactory recruit divisions on this defense line, while the Ming army only deployed some recruit divisions that had just been drawn from the interior.

Although it is a recruit division, the regiment commander Liu Wenxiu is not a layman. As a faculty member at the Shanhaiguan Army University, he went to the battlefield and fully studied military theory.

This time, he took the initiative to ask to bring troops into Russia, wanting to realize his dream of being a general.

Unexpectedly, the Ninth Garrison Division, which was expanded from the garrison division, was directly sent to the Don River defense line in the south.

Holding a telescope, there is withered yellow hay as far as the eye can see. Some of the hay still retains a hint of green.

"Li Yuan, tell me. If you want to attack tomorrow, where will you place your troops tonight? ”

Liu Wenxiu pointed to the open field in front of him and asked.

As a faculty member at the Army University, he naturally took advantage of the innate condition. This time he came to Russia, and he brought more than a dozen cadets who had not yet graduated to serve as battalion and company commanders.

It's also called "Internship"!

The place where the workers do their internship is the factory, so the place where the soldiers do their internship must be the battlefield.

The young men led the troops for the first time, and they were all very excited.

Hearing Liu Wenxiu's question, Li Yuan, who had long been unable to hold back, immediately pointed to a forest about five kilometers away.

"If I were in command, I would have laid an ambush there.

Covert movements began before dawn, attacking at dawn.

Our position here is just a small hill with an elevation of 100 meters. With the right planning, you can kill them in one fell swoop. ”

Li Yuan pointed to the woods in the distance!

"Then you know, I cut down all the trees within a radius of ten kilometers, why did I leave that forest next to the river beach?"

Liu Wenxiu asked with a smile.

"Uh......!" This can stop the battalion and company commanders under him.

For months, the big guy didn't do any military training, but he and the Russian men who had been recruited from the city cut down all the trees nearby.

Now, around the foot of the hill bag. Within 10 kilometers of the surrounding area, all the trees were bare as far as the eye could see.

In the future, Liu Wenxiu would have been scolded to death by environmentalists.

But in this era, no one cares about this.

On the contrary, those Russian people were very happy after receiving the reward. Roll up your arms and sleeves to cut down the last of the trees that stick to the beach of the Don River.

was stopped by Liu Wenxiu, and his subordinates didn't understand. Why did you leave such a forest near the position, and it was still close to the river beach.

"Because the enemy has nowhere to hide when crossing the river, the vanguard can only hide in this woods if they want to hide."

Liu Wenxiu pointed to the woods opposite and smiled very proudly.

The subordinates are even more confused, can they still keep the Tibetans, why don't they cut it quickly?

"Someone! Order the artillery, bombard that wood. As soon as Liu Wenxiu gave the order, the heralds around him immediately ran to the fortifications on the hill and rang the telephone leading to the artillery position.

After a while, everyone heard the sound of cannonball.

You can even hear the whistling of cannonballs flying overhead towards the woods.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ……！ ”

Huge pillars of smoke rose from the woods, and the dirt and branches that had been lifted off flew more than ten meters high.

Liu Wenxiu raised the binoculars and stared at the woods.

One minute passed, two minutes passed, three minutes passed. Five minutes passed......

Until ten minutes passed, the woods showed no signs of panic. The birds flew away in a hurry, hovering for a long time and refusing to fall.

"Five more rapid fires!"

An order was given, and soon the artillery company behind fired five more rapid fires.

The woods, once again, rose with huge pillars of smoke.

Liu Wenxiu was still holding a telescope, staring at the woods in the distance.

There's still no movement in the woods!

"Well, at least there won't be a problem tonight." Liu Wenxiu smiled and pointed to the woods.

"The head of the regiment is really clever!

If there is an enemy army in ambush here, there will definitely be chaos after a sudden shelling.

In this way, we will be able to continuously shell enemy troops.

Before we even fought, we were able to wipe out the enemy hiding under our noses with shells. ”

Li Yuan quickly understood Liu Wenxiu's intentions, there was only such a hidden place within a radius of ten miles, and if the enemy wanted to hide and go out, he must hide in this forest.

Once attacked, then just shell this wood.

High! Sure enough, it's smart!

"In the future, we will shell this place every day or two to know if the enemy is coming.

Of course, patrols to other places cannot be stopped on weekdays.

The letter above says that the enemy troops were armed with large-caliber anti-aircraft guns. Airship reconnaissance is obviously no longer good!

Now, it's up to us to scout.

Remember!

Tell your men that if they think there is something suspicious and can be detected with bullets, do not use people to investigate it.

Our lives in Liaodong are precious, but we can't be like those Russian drunks.

When we fight a war, we must learn from the commanders and achieve the greatest results with the smallest casualties.

In my troops, there is no need to defeat the battle, let alone a crushing victory.

Do you understand? ”

"No!"

The boys all hold their chests high, and it is not easy to meet such a commander who cherishes his subordinates.

No one thought about throwing their more than 100 catties on a foreign land.

"Regiment commander, don't worry, I will defend the position, and there will be no mistakes." Li Yuan was also very excited.

The hill at his feet is the position he is responsible for defending.

For several months, trenches and light and dark bastions have been repaired. Li Yuan, a high-achieving student of Lu University, can be regarded as using the knowledge he has learned to the extreme.

Liu Wenxiu saw the position he arranged, and nodded frequently in praise.

"Although we have tried it with cannonballs, the old rules of our Liao army cannot be broken. At night, there should be light and dark sentinels, and patrols should be constantly patrolling.

That's how it is to fight, a moment of slackness will kill you. ”

Seeing Li Yuan's happy appearance, Liu Wenxiu hurriedly advised.

This hill is a rare piece of high ground nearby, and using this high ground as an observation post can effectively control the river beach within a radius of ten miles.

If the enemy takes this hill, they can also use this hill as a lookout post, and the artillery fire will bomb Liu Wenxiu's regimental command post into slag.

And Liu Wenxiu's defense area is the key area of the entire Don River defense line.

It can be said that if there is any problem in Liu Wenxiu's defense area, the entire defense line of the Don River will be shaken.

"No!

Rest assured, Commander, there will be no problem. ”

Li Yuan responded to the promise and followed Liu Wenxiu to continue to inspect the tunnel fortifications.

"The fortifications on the anti-slope must continue to be dug, and more materials and ammunition must be hoarded inside.

Radishes from the mainland should be stored more, and that thing can not only fill the stomach at the critical moment, but also replenish water.

Go to logistics tomorrow to get a thousand catties! ”

For the position of his students, Liu Wenxiu naturally opened the door of convenience.

"No!"

Although I prefer to eat canned military food, there is no way to solve the water problem.

People have to drink water, and running out of water is no joke.

The large radish is full of water and just happens to be a natural water reservoir.

The only bad thing is ......, this thing eats too much and loves to fart.

After inspecting for a day, Liu Wenxiu returned to his regimental command post with great satisfaction.

In the past few days, the information sent from above has been constantly sending down, saying that the French army on the opposite side is frequently active. This kept him awake for several nights, inspecting the fortifications and frontiers of the mission every day.

He had a hunch that the enemy was about to attack.

But he had no real and reliable evidence, and this feeling was just a pure premonition.

If you talk to your superiors with a hunch, you will be criticized for being indecent.

Besides, there are not enough reserves for him above.

In fact, the defense of the Don River is to defend the Central Asian Railway behind it.

The Central Asian Railway is the main artery of the whole war, and we dare not have the slightest problem.

If it were to be advanced from the Don to Tsaritsyn, it would flank Moscow, and at the same time, ......, the Central Asian Railway would be exposed to enemy fire.

This must not happen once something like this happens. The consequence was the defeat of the entire war.

Russia will surrender, and the armored forces of the Ming Dynasty will be wiped out if they don't get it right.

Once again, he examined his defense area on the map, and Liu Wenxiu didn't take off his clothes, lying on the marching bed covered with a blanket.

What Liu Wenxiu didn't know was that at this time, in the woods that he had shelled during the day, countless black shadows were slowly crawling out of the woods.

Through the hazy moonlight, you can see the dead man's thighs hanging from the branches.

The wounded soldier was strangled and stared at the moon with wide eyes.

In order to prevent them from screaming and attracting the attention of the Ming people, Frion ordered all the wounded to be strangled to death.

Last night they had secretly crossed the Don River and hid in the only woods along the river.

The daytime bombardment almost made Frion feel like he had been discovered. But in the end, he held back!

And give the order!

The seriously wounded are not allowed to scream, and the lightly wounded are not allowed to groan.

But people are people, and when your arm is blown off in its entirety, it's impossible not to scream.

So, Frion gave that impersonal order.

His men resolutely carried out his orders. strangled the comrades-in-arms who lived and died together with his own hands!

In the evening, the last commandos again took advantage of the darkness to smuggle across the Don.

Now Frion had a commando force of 3,000 men under his command. And with the last commandos bringing in a large amount of ammunition!

On the other side of the bank was the First Army, which was personally commanded by Mula, as long as he took the high ground in front of him.

The airship will quickly send supplies, and then the sappers will immediately erect the pontoon.

The entire First Army, from this place would have crossed the Don.

As soon as the Don River was crossed, the French army would outflank Moscow, as well as the rear.

According to Napoleon's plan, if Mula was able to successfully cut off the Great Central Asian Railway, then the war would be over.

Russia's industrial capacity, as well as its comprehensive national strength, are simply not enough to support the confrontation with the whole of Europe.

They need all kinds of weapons and ammunition from the Ming Dynasty, and even food support.

Frion personally led his men and slowly climbed up the Ming army's position on the hill.

The slow climb is due to the fact that the sappers who climb at the front have to clear the mines they encounter from time to time.

The mines of the Ming army were also available in the French army!

During the honeymoon period between the Ming and the French army, the Ming supported the French army a lot, and even helped the French establish a factory in Toulouse, specializing in the production of various types of mines.

The mines designed by Da Ming were not designed to kill people at all!

Many landmines function as an early warning, while others are very small and very difficult to detect.

This kind of thing is meant to injure people, not to kill them.

In the words of the Ming army, a wounded soldier needs to be cared for by three normal soldiers.

In this way, the attrition of the enemy army caused by one mine is four people.

This is much more cost-effective than those powerful mines.

I have to say that Da Ming is very calculating.

Even such a thing as a mine has to be calculated to the bone.

The engineering units were very experienced, they climbed to the front, and each of them was responsible for only a meter-wide passage.

A hundred sappers is a distance of 100 meters.

This will be the offensive passage of four thousand French officers and soldiers!

After the minefield, Frion did not get up quickly.

He knew that at this time, the noise alarmed the Ming army above, and everyone couldn't eat and walked around.

The Ming people have a habit of calibrating artillery after arriving at a position.

What's more, the Ming army has been operating here for more than two months.

Almost all the lots are complete for shooting, even at night. As long as you expose your position, the cannonball will also land accurately on your head.

Frion knew the Ming army, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Sure enough, the engineering units in front also raised mines in the minefields from time to time.

Moreover, it has not yet been discovered by the Ming army.

The Ming army on the hill was a little slack, and there were no flares raised at all.

Finally!

Halfway up the hill that the assault company climbed, there were foxholes of the Ming army, which were not dug into trenches.

Frion felt that the Ming army had no intention of defending the mountainside slope at all.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have just sent a few men to defend.

Several commandos held daggers in their mouths, made a gesture to each other, and quietly touched the straggler pit of the Ming army.

The Ming army in the pit was still sleeping with a gun.

The commandos were overjoyed, and they covered the mouths of the Ming soldiers with one hand and wiped the daggers over their necks with the other.

In the silence before dawn, the "hiss" and "hiss" of blood spurting out of the veins could be heard clearly.
