Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

The area around Hailanpao was still flat yesterday, but now it is densely covered with craters. These craters are connected together like a huge spider web, and Hailanpao is the death node of this spiderweb.

Regardless of everyone's dissuasion, Babkov insisted on coming outside the headquarters.After a loud noise, the ground trembled suddenly, like an earthquake. Babkov almost fell to the ground, but fortunately the adjutant supported him.

Just as Babkov was about to speak, there was another loud bang, and a shell hit a church not far away.The tall cross fell down with a bang, the crowd on the ground fled in all directions, the injured howled from time to time, and the unlucky ones were smashed to pieces.

The artillerymen under the command of Zou Zuohua really put their eyes on the cannons. The shells whizzed past and accurately landed on the Russian barracks and grain depots at the back of the city.This bombardment, regardless of ammunition, caused the Houcheng to withstand nearly 800 shells, and soon blew up that area into a depression.The Russian barracks in the back city were dilapidated, and the gap in the back city wall was wider than the city gate. The shells almost plowed the ground three feet, and even many people in the buildings were buried alive inside.

Compared with the dense horizontal formation and retreat of the Russian army, the offensive formation chosen by Jiang Deng is relatively scattered.They were in a group of 12, and there was a distance of several meters between each group. This formation made Babkov think that he had found an appropriate offensive opportunity.He sent his Cossack cavalry to attempt a charge to launch a counterattack against the Northeast Army that had already charged into the city.

The Cossack coldly wiped the slightly bent saber in his hand, while the horse beside him neighed impatiently.

According to Zhang Zuolin's prior deployment, the 11th Regiment of the Northeast Army was responsible for advancing to the south of Hailanpao City.The head of this regiment is Liao Zhong, who is a capable general under Feng Linge. I think Feng Linge was the leader of the bandits in western Liaoning. At the same time, Peng became the "Twilight" and "Dark Earth" (bandit numbers) that frightened the officers and soldiers.

At this moment, he is leading two thousand soldiers under his command to rush towards the east of the city.Liao Zhong ordered to disperse the formation and let a battalion follow behind.If there is no Russian military fortification, let the bombardier throw a grenade in front first, and let the troops outflank the two wings. The battalion in the back is responsible for launching a frontal attack with the Russian army to attract the opponent's firepower.This tactic caused the 11th regiment to pull out several fortifications one after another, and entered the hinterland of Hailanpao's inner city relatively smoothly.

At this time, the sound of artillery inside and outside the city gradually became quieter, dilapidated buildings and raging fires were everywhere, and the pungent gunpowder smoke was almost suffocating.When a group of Cossack cavalry who were about to charge out suddenly rushed from the flank, they aimed directly at the right flank of the attacking 11th regiment.

Liao Zhong was startled at first, and then shouted loudly: "Get the bayonet, gather immediately, and move closer to the right wing."

This is the experience that Liao Zhong gained during his studies in the Imperial Continent. Once the cavalry rushed into the scattered infantry group, huge casualties would be inevitable.

Even so, the response of the 11th Regiment was still a bit slow. The speed of the Cossack cavalry was very fast, and they rushed to the front of the crowd in a short while.

I heard "bang", "bang", "bang" and "bang" one after another, and the fronts of the two sides began to confront each other. The infantry had already mounted their bayonets when they charged, but the advantage of the cavalry was the impact brought by their speed.The scattered infantry did not have time to pull the bolts after the bullets in the chambers had been fired.Experienced soldiers fired bullets at the cavalry at the most dangerous time, and then leaned against the people around them, aiming their bayonets at the cavalry.However, some inexperienced people frantically fired the six bullets in the chamber, then lowered their heads and hurriedly loaded the bullets.This gave the cavalry a chance to draw their knives, slipping through them, making them invincible in front of them.

This Cossack cavalry was the last ace unit Babkov could muster.These people roared into Liao Zhong's army like a whirlwind. The speed of the cavalry was too fast, and the sound of the horses hitting the ground formed a torrent, which shocked some recruits who had never seen the world for the first time. Shooting the bullets in their hands, blocking with a rifle when the saber strikes, few people can remember the teachings of the military instructors in their usual training at this time: whether they can survive on the battlefield depends on calmness.

Soaring Front: World War I Chapter 257 Battle of Hailanpao 9

Standing on the head of Hailanpao City, Jiang Dengxuan quietly observed the situation in the city with binoculars. When he saw the 11th regiment and the Russian cavalry fighting fiercely, sweat flowed from his palms from time to time.

"Master, let our cavalry go up, or the 11th regiment may be lost." An adjutant said urgently.

Jiang Dengxuan continued to watch the battle ahead as if he didn't hear what the adjutant said.The adjutant was so anxious that he swung his whip and hit the ground hard, stirring up a layer of dirt.It's not that he doesn't want to send troops to support, it's just that all the troops under his command are scattered in every corner of the city, fighting fiercely with the Russian army. force.Now, whether it can withstand the crazy raid of the Cossack cavalry depends on the luck of the soldiers of the 11th regiment.

Liao Zhong was already red-eyed. He was naked, with a gleaming broadsword in his hand. His body was covered in blood and his face was full of murderous intent. From time to time, he fought back and forth with the Russians, and from time to time jumped onto the horse to fight with the Russian cavalry.When the other soldiers saw the commander's style of play, they all followed his example, fighting fiercely while trying to pull the enemy off the horse.Even so, the galloping horses carried swiftly flowing air, and some soldiers were hit by these galloping horses or trampled by chaotic hooves, and it didn't take long for them to become a piece of soft mud.

"Chop off the horse's legs!" Liao Zhong roared angrily, and immediately reminded the officers and soldiers of the 11th regiment.They immediately lowered the center of gravity of their bodies, looked at the enemy's horse's legs with broadswords, and poked the horse's chest and abdomen with bayonets. In an instant, the neighing of the horses resounded through the sky. The war horse seemed to have lost its legs, and being surrounded by two or three Chinese soldiers was like a mess.After being stung, some war horses neighed and ran wildly around, and finally hit the wall with their heads, and the Russians on the horse also hit Hua Hong's brains.

The cavalry captain saw that the momentum was not good, waved to his subordinates, and ran from behind the 11th regiment towards the head of the city.

Just when they were about to break through to the city gate, countless black gun muzzles suddenly protruded from the houses on both sides. Before the cavalry could react, the gunshots all around suddenly rang out, and more and more Intensive, the gunshots were completely connected together, as if dozens of people were tearing linen at the same time.

"Keep going!" The Cossack captain was the first to react, and was about to urge his horse to break out of the encirclement. His horse suddenly trembled a few times, and then carried it forward. The moment he fell off the horse, he could still see His cavalry were beaten one by one like a hornet's nest, and fell from their horses from time to time. With a "boom", his huge body fell heavily to the ground. At this moment, he had completely lost consciousness.War, meritorious service, all these things are no longer with him.

Babkov saw on the ruins of a building that when the Cossack cavalry came out, the Chinese army was defeated, which gave him another glimmer of hope.He was about to order the guards to break through behind the cavalry, but the scene that followed made him swallow those words.

Amidst the burst of gunfire, he watched the cavalrymen fall to the ground one by one.He was stunned, and his guards were also stunned by this sight. None of the 500 powerful Cossack cavalry came back alive. What happened, everyone thought they were dreaming, and no one wanted to believe it was real.

Babkov cheered up and shouted: "Brave soldiers, destroy these man-eating devils, the glory and dream of Russia must not be buried in our hands."

Babkov's words still inspired the ambitions of the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army. They would rather give up their lives than protect the safety of the general. They vowed to use the last drop of blood of the Far Eastern Army to defend the honor of Russian soldiers.

But the Northeast Army obviously didn't plan to give them time to think. The huge roar of the mortar made Babkov's ears buzzing, shrapnel was flying everywhere, and the smoke filled the air. There were soldiers around Babkov all the time. When he fell down, he could clearly feel the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood intertwined in the air, and he could even hear the sound of bullets shooting into the soil.Babkov crossed his chest and meditated in his heart, hoping that the angel would take him to God's Garden of Eden.

The entire Hailanpao City fell under the wings of death!

Zhang Zuoxiang's 53rd Brigade has occupied most of the city, and is preparing to gather to outflank the northwest where the Russian headquarters is located. Sporadic gunshots can be heard from some deep alleys from time to time, and the remaining Russians in the occupied area are still there. Doing the battle of trapped beasts.

The sound of "sudden", "sudden", "sudden" and "sudden" flashed from the muzzle of the gun from time to time, and Russians fell down on the city wall from time to time, hitting a burst of stone fragments on the city wall.Soon under the action of the Gatling gun, most of Russia's effective forces were suppressed and could not be detected.The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty attacked the breach in Ili City. Now there are not many Russian soldiers in Ili City. Under the suppression of powerful artillery and Gaglin machine guns, they had to bow their heads.

"Kill!!!!!!" The red-eyed Northeast Army surrounded the Northwest City like a wild horse, and the shouts of killing gathered and even overwhelmed the sound of guns.

Babkov watched the Chinese army rushing from everywhere like ants, and he knew that everything was over, and the Far Eastern Army, the former pride of the Russians, would be buried in his hands today.Unwilling to fail like this, he frantically waved his command knife and rushed towards the Northeast Army group.Luckily, he dodged the shooting from the opposite side, and rushed directly in front of a soldier, raised the knife in his hand, shouted angrily, and chopped the soldier in half, but the soldier behind rushed up and stabbed him. Stabbed on his thigh, Babkov, who didn't know the pain, remained indifferent, and the soldier's head was chopped off with the saber falling one by one.

After killing two people in a row, Babkov went into a frenzy and couldn't help laughing on his back. His voice and appearance made many Chinese soldiers terrified, and no one dared to come over easily.But after only two seconds, Babkov's laughter suddenly stopped abruptly. He lowered his head slowly, and saw a big gash on his chest that was as wide as a finger, and the blood hadn't had time to flow out , the viscera inside are clearly visible.He raised his head and saw a bloody Chinese officer standing opposite him, holding a large knife with a curly blade in his hand. This man was Liao Zhong, the commander of the 11th regiment!

A sneer froze at the corner of Babkov's mouth, his whole body collapsed to the ground like an empty sack, and the viscera in his chest flowed out.The soldiers rushed over and shot Babkov indiscriminately. Since then, another person's name has been added to the tombstone in Russia.

Next, Zhang Zuoxiang ordered the Northeast Army in the city to use squads as units, divide them into several combat units, and hunt and kill the remaining Russian soldiers in the city.Seeing that the general situation was over, some Russian soldiers put down their guns and knelt on the ground begging for mercy. Some simply rushed towards the enemy with their guns in their hands, intending to catch them, but they were beaten into a sieve before they reached the ground, and went to see God. .

Soaring: World War I Chapter 258 Air Force 1

At this time, a ray of dawn in the east shone on the city of Hailanpao, and the heavy rain had stopped.Wearing a dark woolen cloak and carrying a command knife, Zhang Zuolin walked majestically into Hailanpao City under the protection of a large group of guards.

At this time, Hailanpao had completely turned into a dead city.He looked at the dilapidated and collapsed city walls, at the dried blood everywhere, and the wailing sounds from time to time. There were Russian soldiers lying all over the place, and many Russian prisoners knelt together under the escort of the Northeast Army. .

Zhang Zuolin came to Babkov's body, kicked his head with his big riding boots, and spat hard.

"Report to the division commander, a total of 350 people from the Russian Far East Army have been captured. Please decide how to deal with them." Zhang Kai, the director of the combat department, asked for instructions in a loud voice.

"Immediately telegraph the news of Hailan's great victory to the emperor, and ask for instructions on the prisoners."

"Yes!"

Tang Yulin gave Zhang Zuolin a thumbs-up, and said with a big laugh, "Master, this strategy is really clever. It eliminated the main force of the Russians without any effort. I didn't understand it at first."

Everyone present burst out laughing.

"Big Tang, the war is not over yet. Don't forget that there are still three divisions of the Russian Army marching here. I don't know how the battle is going." Zhang Zuolin's face immediately returned to seriousness: "I order, Tang Yulin took your 54th brigade and rushed to Belogorsk to volunteer Feng Linge, and Liao Zhong took your corps and the officers and soldiers of the 12th and 15th regiments to rush to Chegdormen to volunteer with the 27th division. Annihilate the reinforcements of these three Russian divisions. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

After the two corps left, Zhang Zuolin touched a Maxim heavy machine gun on the ground, and said with deep emotion: "The emperor still has the foresight. Now fighting is not the same as before. It doesn't depend on who has more people. It depends on this thing at critical moments." Speaking of which, such an advanced weapon is made by our country itself."

Jiang Dengxuan also felt the same way, saying, "Fortunately, we have these advanced gadgets in our hands, otherwise the Russian cavalry would be quite terrible."

"Yes, the Russian cavalry is indeed called the elite. We must study the Russian cavalry tactics carefully when we have time in the future." Zhang Zuolin inspected the city again. At this time, a messenger hurriedly He ran over, handed a draft telegram to Zhang Zuolin, and whispered: "The emperor's urgent telegram, please read it alone."

Zhang Zuolin didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly avoided the crowd, opened the telegram and saw that there was only one word written on it: kill!

Zhang Zuolin immediately understood, and whispered to Jiang Dengxuan: "Gather all these Russian prisoners in the pass outside the city, shoot them all, and leave no one alive!"

Jiang Dengxuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

In the dilapidated pass, the gunfire lasted for more than ten minutes, announcing the successful end of the Hailanpao Battle.

"Great joy! Great joy!..." The little eunuch De'an ran out from the telegraph room, shouting all the way, and rushed to the inner palace. The maids and eunuchs on duty all looked at De'an suspiciously, and said in their hearts: Maybe this kid is crazy ?When De'an passed by the Military Aircraft Office, he was stopped by Feng Xianghua, the minister on duty here: "What's wrong with you, kid? This is the palace chief who dared to shout loudly, you are dying!"

"Great joy! Feng Zhongtang." De'an said happily, waving the telegram draft in his hand.

"What a happy event, the chicken hair shouted." Feng Xianghua couldn't help smiling after being infected by De'an's expression.

"This slave doesn't dare to say it. I am in a hurry to deliver the telegram to the emperor."

"Virtue!" Feng Xianghua pointed to De'an's nose with a smile: "Go, it's not good for you to keep the emperor waiting."
