Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Since it was not expected that the Russian artillery offensive would be so fierce, especially the lack of preparations for the Russian army's large-caliber artillery, the 55th Brigade was under the pressure of the Russian army's strong frontal attack, and it did not take long for a reinforced company to lose its strength.And with the first ray of sunshine in the morning, rows of Russian soldiers in gray uniforms in the opposite woods pressed over from the shadow of the woods.

"Brothers, step up your firepower and hold on to the fortifications!" Zheng Cuiting's face was full of gunpowder smoke, his arm was cut with a deep wound by shrapnel, and he was still shooting frantically at groups of Russians with heavy machine guns. He knew that the 28th Division and this Compared with the ace division of the Russian army, it does not have an advantage in strength. If you want to win, you must firmly occupy this fortification and wipe out a large number of the enemy's vital forces.

Zheng Cuiting gave an order, and the second wave of shooting by the defending soldiers began.At this time, many soldiers had been tortured by the heavy artillery bombardment, and their nerves were about to collapse. They wished to kill all the Russians in front of them in one breath, so as to end this cruel battle as soon as possible. Most of the soldiers of the 55th Brigade were equipped with Sharp rifles, one of the two types of rifles installed by the French Army. It was a rifle with a long range and high accuracy. Enemy soldiers replenished, always maintaining the integrity of the infantry line, and also gave Chinese soldiers a feeling of inexhaustible killing and inexhaustible destruction. The textbook-like offensive formation of the Russian 21st Division taught Chinese officers and soldiers the most vivid lesson .

The shortcomings of the Sharp rifle also appeared at this time. Compared with contemporary rifles such as Mauser and Li Yi, the rate of fire of the Sharp rifle is not outstanding, and it can even be said to be slow.His complex locking mechanism made him a third slower than Mal and more than half slower than Mauser.Moreover, most of the 55th brigade is equipped with Gatling machine guns. After all, it is not the Maxim machine gun in the hands of Zheng Cuiting, which is an automatic weapon in the true sense of later generations. As a kind of trench fire suppressing weapon, its rate of fire is still slow. More often he Requires the cooperation of artillery.If dozens of artillery bombard the Russian attack group at this time, it may cause mass destruction to the enemy. However, since the task of the 28th Division is to intercept the support army, it is basically lightly loaded. All the heavy artillery was reserved for attacking Hailanpao's main position.

The battle lasted for nearly an hour, and more and more soldiers fell in the trench. The two soldiers who refilled Zheng Cuiting's bullets said timidly, "Brigade Commander, we can't hold on any longer, let's retreat!"

Zheng Cuiting stared at them fiercely, his eyes were full of fierce light: "It's a shame that you have been with me for so many years, you dare to say such a thing, if you want to withdraw you, I will never be a coward in front of Big Nose!"

At this time, the Russian assault infantry line was about to overwhelm the forward position, and their skilled squad combat tactics immediately extinguished the scattered fires of resistance on the position.A 90mm grenade was blowing up not far from Zheng Cuiting. Zheng Cuiting and the two soldiers were shocked several meters away and passed out on the spot.Facing the enemy's powerful offensive, it was difficult for the 55th Brigade to organize an effective counterattack.

"General, I think we should take a rest after occupying this fortification. The soldiers have already marched for two days, and they don't have much energy." Hawthorne, the deputy commander of the 21st Division, said to Primakov, the division commander next to him.

"No, Hawthorne, our soldiers are the bravest. They have been impatient to move their hands and feet. Let them rest at this time, and they will complain about me." Primakov said with a relaxed expression.

Hawthorne said: "But it's not yet dawn, our sight is not clear in the jungle, and the troops are prone to confusion."

"Hawthorne, you have to understand that Hailanpao is waiting for our support now. Don't you see how vulnerable the Chinese are? They have no will to fight at all. I can't imagine how a team with such low morale can give What trouble are we causing?"

"It looks like this. I don't understand whether Admiral Babkov was beaten into a mess by such troops?"

"Even if they hide an elite force, it's nothing special. The 21st Division is not afraid of anyone's challenge. We can only move forward, forward, and forward, crushing and crushing the Chinese, and let them stand between us and Hailanpao." At a loss." Primakov said confidently.

Soaring Front: World War I Chapter 255 Battle of Hailanpao 7

"Master, the 55th Brigade will soon be overwhelmed!" A scout said to Feng Linge.

Feng Linge gritted his teeth and said, "The 8th Regiment and I will detour to the enemy's rear and disrupt their positions. Only in this way can we change the situation of the battle."

"It's too dangerous for the division commander to do this. The Russian cavalry is guarding the two wings. It is difficult for us to turn around." Several officers tried hard to dissuade them.

"You are blind! The soldiers of the 55th brigade are bleeding! At worst, I will lose my life here today." It seems that Feng Linge has made up his mind.

"Master, there is a Northeast Army coming to us." A signal soldier ran over and said.

While Primakov and Hawthorne were talking, a combat staff officer ran over: "Report, behind the enemy's position, we found a Chinese army approaching here quickly, and we are only less than a mile away."

Primakov was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said: "It seems that the Chinese have really concealed their strength, so let them see the power of the God of War again. Tell the artillery regiment to let them set off fireworks again, Send the Chinese to hell."

Orange and dark red lights flashed in the jungle, and shells roared and fell on the front and rear of the 53rd Brigade who came to support.The air waves created by the shells made some soldiers seem to have hit a wall and were pushed out abruptly. The sound was like muffled thunder. sound.

Fortunately, the terrain here is relatively open, and the impact formation of the 53rd Brigade is very scattered, otherwise the scattered shrapnel would cause greater casualties.

The wheel-mounted cannons of the 21st Division are powerful, but they also have shortcomings. Compared with the flexible and mobile mortars of the Chinese, the rate of fire of these large-caliber artillery is relatively slow. Teachers will meet in one place.Feng Linge finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Russian army's onslaught just now was about to break through the front of the position.He tightly held the hand of Tang Yulin, the brigade commander of the 53rd Brigade, and said excitedly: "Did Master Zhang send you here? How is Hailanpao?"

"Don't worry, Hailanpao is sure enough. Master Zhang is worried about you. He specially sent our 53rd Brigade and 59th Brigade to support you and the 27th Division on the northern line." Tang Yulin raised his head and looked at the Russian army in front of him. Said: "Mr. Feng, isn't it just his mother's big nose? My old soup is wrapped."

"Yulin, this is the 21st Division of the Russian Ace Army, you have to be careful." Feng Linge was very worried about Tang Yulin's reckless character.

"No problem, Master Feng, just watch it. Liang Zi, transfer your regiment and Lao Tzu to the trenches to support Zheng Cuiting. The rest of the soldiers will follow the command of Master Feng."

"Yes!"

Tang Yulin came to the trench and set up a Maxim heavy machine gun beside Zheng Cuiting. While shooting, he said to the scarred Zheng Cuiting: "Old Zheng, you are really useless. If I hadn't come to support in time, maybe you Big Nose has surrendered."

"Fart! Big soup head, we have been through life and death together for so many years, when has I ever been afraid of death." Zheng Cuiting puffed up his cheeks and shot at the enemy, and he didn't suffer at all.Both he and Tang Yulin are Zhang Zuolin's life-and-death brothers. They have fought together for many years and have a deep friendship, but they just like to bicker.

"Let's make a bet, do you dare?" Tang Yulin knew that Zheng Cuiting was stubborn, and it was better to compete with others.

"Okay, how about a bet?" Zheng Cuiting really agreed happily.

"How about asking the brothers around you to count and see which of us has killed the most Russians?"

"Okay, it's a deal. Whoever loses is a coward!"

This time, the soldiers who were responsible for storing bullets for them were in trouble. The fight on the battlefield was so fierce that they almost lost their lives. Who had time to count them, but they were afraid that the two of them would ask questions later, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet. Count while accumulating bullets.

The timely arrival of the 53rd Brigade added vitality to the struggling 28th Division. Feng Linge ordered the two regiments of the 53rd Brigade to cooperate with his own troops to divide into east and west routes, and to destroy the Russian cavalry guarding the two wings. Take advantage of the trend to launch a flank offensive against the Russian army.At the same time, the light and heavy weapons brought by Tang Yulin's troops also exerted their power. More than 20 mortars and seven Maxim heavy machine guns sprayed out flames together, knocking the 21st Division, which was pressed very forward, tottering, and the casualties rose sharply. Triple digits quickly.

Primakov took out his gun and killed several retreating Russian soldiers. He shouted angrily, "Rush forward, and I will shoot anyone who retreats!"

Under such pressure, the Russian army had no choice but to bite the bullet and launch another charge. This wave of attacks broke through to the front of the Chinese position at once. The battle has begun!

At the same time, Plimakov ordered the cavalry to charge forward immediately, but the Chinese army ambushed on the two wings immediately gave the Russian cavalry a head-on blow. The advantage of the cavalry lies in speed, but there is no breakthrough in the dense fire defense of the Chinese. However, in terms of firepower, they were far from the opponents of the Chinese ground troops. In an instant, the neighing of horses and the screams of soldiers resounded throughout the jungle.The Russian cavalry regiment soon faced destruction under the attack of Chinese soldiers' weapons of mass destruction.

After defeating the cavalry regiment, the two regiments quickly stepped forward, forming two sharp knives from the left and right wings and directly entering the artillery regiment of the *21st Division.Facing the Chinese army that had long been out of the range of artillery fire, the Russian artillerymen became lambs to be slaughtered at this time. They were shot indiscriminately by light and heavy weapons. .

After the two regiments sank the artillery regiment, they launched an attack from the rear of the 21st Division in one go. This completely disrupted the position of the ace division, and the morale of the Russians fell from the peak to the bottom.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Primakov pulled his neck and ordered the remaining troops to evacuate as soon as possible, but at this time the Russian army was already facing a desperate situation from two sides, and the entire division had completely lost its ability to coordinate and defend. He ran around in the jungle like a fly, and was killed by a random shot by a Chinese soldier.

At this time, the bloody hand-to-hand combat on the Chinese side was coming to an end. Tang Yulin and Zheng Cuiting each held a large knife with a curly blade in their hands, and their bodies were covered with blood. They turned around and asked the soldiers around them: "Which of us won? "

Junbing grinned, looked at Tang Yulin, then at Zheng Cuiting, but had no choice but to pretend to pass out on the spot.

At this time, the east was already bright, and the sunlight from Belogorsk slanted into the jungle filled with gunpowder smoke, and the corpses and blood everywhere were particularly dazzling.

Soaring Front: World War I Chapter 256 Battle of Hailanpao 8

Hailanpao, the time went back to the early morning of the night, and the heavy rain was falling hard!

Jiang Dengxuan took a division of troops to pretend to be the 21st Division of the Russian Army who came to support, and deceived Babkov and the soldiers defending the city. When Babkov woke up, Jiang Dengxuan's cavalry regiment had already broken through to the in town.

Annoyed, Babkov hurriedly retreated to the temporary headquarters in the city under the protection of a team of guards.what to do!The Chinese have poured into the city uncontrollably, and at the same time, the east and west positions were almost razed to the ground by the artillery of the Northeast Army in just ten minutes. Babkov can fully imagine that the Russian troops on the east and west positions Facing the crazy massacre of the Chinese.

The sound of the guns at the city gate became louder and louder. Amidst the roar of the cannons, the building in the headquarters trembled. The dust shaken from the beams shook everyone in the house.The people in the room looked at each other, and no one dared to speak for a while, they just quietly listened to the more and more intensive explosions at the city gate.

The heavy artillery on the top of the city let out a roar that shook the sky, and thick mushroom-like smoke rose from the overwhelming Northeast Army below the city.The Russian sentry was watching carefully with a binocular on the tower. In the storm, a black crowd emerged from the edge of the distance, and the hand of the sentry holding the binoculars began to tremble.

On the artillery position, the 15 75mm infantry guns of the Russian army had no time to adjust the elevation angle. Majikov, who had just woken up, looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help shouting "fire".The cannons rang like beads, but the artillery fire came from the Chinese army.Markikov's vision gradually blurred, shell shrapnel roared and flew around, and soldiers around him were hit by shells and fell to the ground from time to time.

"General be careful!"

A company commander under Markikov screamed and jumped on him, and he hurriedly shrank to the ground holding his head.After a loud bang, Majikov felt that the company commander's body temperature was slowly dropping, blood was gushing from his neck, and a large area of ​​the plaster-colored clothes was dyed red in an instant, and slowly softened to the ground. .

Zhang Zuolin looked at Hai Lanpao with a binoculars on a high ground not far away, and said with a grinning smile, "I have a scar, what the fuck is the Far Eastern Army, shit!"

He put down the binoculars and turned to Zhang Kai and said, "Tell Zhang Zongchang, I will give him 10 minutes to take down the east and west positions. Order Zhang Zuoxiang to lead his 54th brigade to rush into Hailanpao City to support Jiang Dengxuan's troops, Be sure to take the Hailanpao before dawn!"

"Yes!"
