The Russian sky cleared again, but Li Xiao's face was so gloomy that it could drip water.

Five days ago, the Ming army occupied three-quarters of Tsaritsyn.

But today, five days later, the Ming army occupies a quarter of Tsaritsyn.

Before every Ming army was defeated, it suffered heavy losses.

Some companies have even lost seventy percent of their personnel.

The casualties of the Russian army are even more miserable, and it is said that the death rate of the first-line companies has reached 90%.

Of course, this also includes the number of Overseers killed.

Kutuzov's military regulations were quite strict, and leaving the position for 800 meters without an order from his superiors was considered an escape.

The Warlords can shoot on the spot without any indication.

The helpless Russian army can only fight to the death in ruins.

Of course, in the end, there is only death, and it can only be death.

The French have progressed, and as the battle progresses, they have evolved a new skill, Night Fight!

In the past, the French, because of the lack of supplies, the soldiers could hardly see things clearly at night.

They rarely fight night battles, and it can even be said that they basically do not fight night battles.

During the day, the two sides of the enemy who pinch you to the death have a sense of respect for each other at night.

Especially after the heavy snowfall and the weather became cold, there were fewer things to do to touch the whistle and fire the cold gun.

But recently, the French army suddenly seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.

The intensity of the battle during the day is still the same, but at night the attack is more aggressive than during the day.

That new type of artillery is very powerful in the battle line in a night battle.

This thing is almost chasing the muzzle of the gun, and even if you are a steel cast, an arhat will have to peel off its skin.

The machine gunner is the key victim, and when a shell goes down, it directly blows up the person with the machine gun.

The most bizarre thing is that no one can see clearly, and no one has even seen such a cannon.

Or rather, the people who saw it were dead.

The enemy had a new weapon of suppression, and it was very effective.

This made Li Xiao very worried, because the Ming army, which had always relied on the superiority of firepower and equipment. When you encounter the enemy's superior firepower, you won't fight.

Some company commanders were hit by the enemy's superior firepower and stubbornly carried them without retreating. As a result, the company was crippled.

In the end, I can't hold my position!

There are also some company commanders who see that the enemy has an advantage, and they have no way to solve it.

He simply ordered his company to withdraw from its positions, the company's casualties were not large, but it was a great blow to morale.

At present, the Judge Advocate General's Office holds a group of company commanders and battalion commanders, all of whom were caught and ready to be shot for retreating without authorization.

Li Xiao wanted to scold and shoot dozens of company commanders at once, so how could this battle be fought.

I really don't know what the brains of those people in the Judge Advocate General's Office are thinking.

There is no way to do this, the officers of Sdweese who are in the military justice department are all tendons. A bastard who only talks about military law and does not show human feelings!

But this is understandable, if they are all guys with some clever hearts, then it is estimated that military discipline will not be far away.

This employment is really a fucking college question.

The Russian sun is also warm and smoky when it hits people, and if Li Xiao usually enjoys sunbathing in winter.

But now he was only wondering what the French had come up with.

"Sir, a sniper said he saw that kind of cannon.

However, he wanted to use this news to exchange the life of their company commander. ”

"Oh!" Li Xiao looked at the staff officer who came to report with great interest.

This is fresh, and it actually bargained with Shangfeng.

In the Ming army, it is also a crime to fail to report it. Could it be that this guy is also a bastard who doesn't understand military law?

"Stilwell can't handle this?"

The sniper said that he only believed in the big marshal and wanted to tell the big marshal in person. If others ......, he can't believe it. ”

"Huh!" Li Xiao smiled, he was an interesting guy.

When Stilwell heard this, his nose must have been crooked.

"Okay, I'll see you then." Li Xiao waved his hand and followed the staff officer to the command post.

From a distance, I saw a soldier being carefully searched by Shunzi and the two of them.

The search was very careful, and even the nail clippers on his body were searched.

It was a somewhat thin soldier, slightly hunched. But even if you stand up straight, it's probably not as tall as a sniper rifle.

The appearance is very ordinary, not good-looking or ugly, and belongs to the category that you can't find in the pile of throwing people.

Picking up the nail clippers thrown on the table, Li Xiao fiddled twice.

"Do you still use this on the battlefield?" Li Xiao shook the nail clippers in his hand.

"Cut this." The soldier stretched out his hand, and Li Xiao saw that his fingers were covered with knives and spears.

Living outside all year round, coupled with the ghost weather in Russia, there are a lot of rifts on my hands.

There were also two chilblains, which were swollen and shiny.

"What's your name?" Seeing these hands, Li Xiao nodded.

Snipers are each issued with deerskin gloves, which is a special treatment for snipers.

But even the snipers have become like this, which shows how bad the combat environment of ordinary soldiers is.

"Ding San!" Ding San didn't dare to look at Li Xiao, raised his head to take a look, and quickly lowered his head.

"Ding San, is the front line fighting hard?"

Li Xiao really wanted to go to the first-line company to have a look, but everyone in the command post was opposed.

They decided that the Supreme Commander went to the most dangerous front-line companies purely to make trouble for the soldiers.

"It's not bitter, it's good to eat and drink, it's just cold!

Especially at night, that cold can make it impossible for you to hold your gun. You can't shoot with gloves on, but you can't stick your finger into the trigger ring with gloves on.

We can't light fires to keep warm, smoke attracts shells during the day, and fires attract shells at night. ”

"You've worked hard, does anyone want to escape? Flee back to Daming?

Sit and say, don't be in a hurry.

Junko, pour some hot water. ”

On the contrary, Li Xiao was not in a hurry to ask about that kind of artillery, this was a rare opportunity to know the real situation on the front line.

The most important thing is that this person is not arranged to meet him.

"Body...... Dirty! Ding San was flattered and didn't dare to sit in front of Li Xiao.

"It's okay, sit!" Li Xiao pressed Ding San's shoulder and motioned for Ding San to sit down.

Ding San was pressed by Li Xiao, so he could only sit on Li Xiao's chair tremblingly.

Junzi brought over an enamel jar of steaming water and placed it on the table in front of Ding San.

Ding San was holding the hot water in both hands, and Li Xiao couldn't help frowning.

The hot water is so hot that it can remove the pig's hair, but Ding San is so hot that he hisses, but he is unwilling to put it down.

"Warm!" Seeing Li Xiao's gaze, Ding San smiled shyly.

It seemed to affect the crack on his face, and Ding San's smile was extremely unnatural.

"There is no boiling water at the front?"

"The fire is not allowed to live, and there is boiling water.

Everyone sent it in the kettle, and it was already cold.

When the weather was the coldest, I could only carry it in my arms for fear of freezing into a lump. ”

"Where's the food? Eat cold too? ”

"Not really, there is a tin vat in the cooking class, and the food in it is all hot.

But we eat flatbread, and that thing carries hunger. Sometimes the cooking class also brings soup, but that thing is not easy to deliver, and it is not always drinkable.

Every time I come to the hot soup, the big guys are happy.

After drinking the radish dumpling soup, the big guys all fart with a radish smell.

The company commander also said that the French would be able to find our position by following the smell of turnips.

Marshal, our company commander is a good person.

If he hadn't retreated that night, the whole company would have been finished. ”

Ding San remembered the purpose of his coming here, and wanted to stand up but was pressed down by Li Xiao.

"Let's not talk about this, what do you think is the most difficult thing on the front line right now?" Li Xiao's tone was as gentle as possible, for fear of scaring this timid sniper.

"It's cold! It's so cold that I don't dare to make a fire.

Besides, it's not very warm to have a fire in the wild. His face was so burned that it hurt, and his back was still cold. ”

"Ammunition, food, or anything else?" Li Xiao sat opposite Ding San, and he felt that standing like this would put a lot of pressure on Ding San.

"That's all good, the cooking class comes every day to deliver food. The big guys eat canned food as a snack!

It's just that it's too cold, and the canned food is frozen. ”
