Chapter 182 Artillery Battle

(Thanks to the book friend Shenshenxia ***)

"Armored train!" Ye Chong was surprised. He didn't expect that the old Tsarist Russian army, which was already dusk in the west, could still take out such a killing weapon. If this were the case, the group guarding the mouth was probably in danger.

"Mankou is now guarding the 6th Division. Did Zhao Erhu send reinforcements over there?" Ye Chong asked.

"Team Commander Zhao has personally led his army there." Zhao Changshun said.

"The 1st Feng Division, the 4th and 5th Independent Artillery Regiment were also transferred. When we arrived, Zhao Erhu was in charge of commanding the battles." Ye Chong said,

In fact, using bombers is the best way to deal with armored trains, but the weather is not good, and it has snowed again until now. Although it is not heavy, it is enough to affect flight. The Russians have really chosen a good time.

Since Liang Zhongjia's army was at a disadvantage, Seminov of course had to eat up this small force to damage the morale of the Fengtian army.

While the Fengtian army was dispatching troops, the Tsarist Russian army was not slow at all. At the same time, the commander was very smart. The railway 18 miles away from the mouth was broken early. Although there were not many places to explode, it would take one or two hours to repair it in such weather. Two hours was enough for the Russian army to do a lot of things.

However, Zhao Erhu, who had long expected that the Russian army would not allow him to arrive at the rescue of the whole mouth to successfully, was a bit of a pre-learning experience. Before the infantry boarded the train, they arranged for cavalry to go first. Now the railway was not too late to be repaired, and all the cavalry dismounted and pulled heavy equipment and ammunition with sleds to rush towards the whole mouth.

"Kill!" The machine guns placed on the earthen wall spit a fire snake at the Russian army. The number of Russian troops was the upper hand, and they were a little stronger than Liang Zhongjia's regiment in terms of heavy firepower. Although the Fengtian army tried its best to defend, the defense line was still shrinking.

"Boom!" The machine gunners who had just piled up more than a dozen Russian troops were destroyed by the 37mm flat-fired infantry cannon equipped by Russia. This small-caliber infantry cannon maneuverability is second only to the small-caliber mortar. Russia only started to manufacture it when the First World War started. As a new weapon of infantry in World War I, Ye rebuilt a hand when building the Tongliao Arsenal. Unfortunately, the mortars were only equipped with the two most elite divisions of the Feng army, the 27th Division and the Feng 1st Division, otherwise it would have been too

It would not be forced to be beaten so badly by the Russian infantry. Several machine guns were knocked off one by one by the Russian army. The rifle firepower would be suppressed by the Russian army. Two places began to fight bayonets with the Russian army. Even though the Fengtian army was full and drunk, they were stimulated by Xu Lanzhou Heilongjiang Army Division and practiced bayonets hard, but the Russian army was tall and big, and had an innate advantage in fighting bayonets. On average, two Russian troops could fight three to four Fengtian soldiers by hand.

"The two flat-fire cannons must be blown up, otherwise after the machine guns are completely wiped out, our regiment will be finished." The roaring shells flew over the top of their heads, Liang Zhongjia, who had climbed up from the ground, wiped the corner of his mouth and said ruthlessly, pointed at the houses in front, and gestured at Chief of Staff Yu Jin a few times.

"Chief of Staff, please let the machine gun in front of you retreat here. Arrange three platoons to use explosives to guard the dead corner on the left. Even if you fight three platoons, you have to blow up those two flat-fire cannons for me."

Yu Jin understood Liang Zhongjia's intention at a glance, "But, the regiment seat is too dangerous. The machine guns retreated here, and the Russian flat-fired cannons aimed at this place."

"There is no time to arrange it, this is a military order. If I have something to do, you will continue to command the entire regiment to fight."

As a result, the God of Fate did not particularly favor Liang Zhongjia. After once, he was thrown into an infantry cannon, the Russian commander also knew that this was a trap.

There were all the corpses and the Russians. The 18th Regiment was in a tough battle. A large group of 3,000 people fought with minor injuries, and only the only ones who could fight were left. Seeing the Russians' troops transport trains arrived in the distance, Liang Zhongjia could not help but feel the seriousness of the situation.

"I didn't expect that the will of the Fengtian army was so tenacious!" Russian Major General Andrevich was shocked to see that the 18th Regiment, which had already suffered heavy casualties, was still fighting stubbornly.

"Yes, the Feng army in front of us is indeed admirable. I have to admit that if we had not received the top arms this time, we would not have any chance of winning in the head-on battle." Adjutant Peter did not hide his praise. "The Feng army's performance is completely different from the Zhongzhao team I have encountered before. It is a respectable opponent, but now it is at the end of the road. Although we appreciate it, we should also throw the last batch of new forces into it and completely defeat them without hesitation."

"Escapers at the last battle, justify the Dharma on the spot!" Liang Zhongjia, who was a bait, was seriously injured and dragged away from the most dangerous area by the guards. Seeing some Fengtian soldiers in a state of collapse, they coughed blood, struggled to fire a gun to warn!

"If his mother dares to escape at the last minute, first ask the gun in the old man's hand and first ask the military law of the Feng army! Even if she can escape now, she will think about what kind of treatment she will be dealt with after returning, and her family will not be able to raise their heads. If you fight, you will die, and if you run away, you will die. You are a man. Take the *** back with me!" Liang Zhongjia was useless even when he spoke loudly at this time. Chief of Staff Yu Jin naturally stepped forward and temporarily took over the command of the 18th Regiment.

Under Yu Jin's stern warning, fortunately, the Fengtian army did not experience deserters or collapse on the whole line at the critical moment. If they survived this battle, the 18th Regiment was baptized by blood and fire, their combat effectiveness would only be even greater in the future.

The Russian army fought more and more, and the defense line of the 18th Regiment was ripped into pieces. Fortunately, Zhao Erhu finally arrived in time with the main force of the Feng 6th Division, and the 18th Regiment also survived the most serious crisis.

The Russian army's attempt to encircle and annihilate the 18th Regiment failed. He fought fiercely with the 6th Division for another half a day before temporarily retreating under the cover of night.

The Russian army is in short supply and cannot be consumed with the Fengtian army for a long time. The Fengtian army has sufficient war preparations, and the Tongliao Arsenal can provide continuous supply of weapons, but the people cannot support the Russians without reservation. Therefore, quick battles and quick decisions are Seminov's only choice. If the Fengtian army cannot be solved in a short time, whether it is material or to prevent the backyard from being pried out by the Soviets, Seminov must end the war as soon as possible.

Therefore, although the weather was bad, the Russian army still attacked the Fengtian army again in the wind and snow. However, the Russian army expected that it was thought that with the long-standing positions of Russian soldiers and the sufficient ammunition provided by the early *** people, they could defeat the Fengtian army that had not experienced a great war in a short period of time.

But after several fights, I realized that I had hit the iron plate.

The earth-shaking explosion suppressed the howling wind.

"***, you are today. I thought your armored train was really invincible." The Russian army gradually increased its troops, and the Feng 1st Division and the Independent Artillery Corps also came. The scale of the war became larger and larger.

The huge subway armored carriage was smashed to collapse by heavy artillery in the Fengtian Army Independent Artillery Regiment. Amid the shocking explosion, the armored carriage was finally broken through its defense.

"Hurry, drive the train away." The Russian army was obviously a little proud of the previous battle. Although the armored train was sharp, it was not omnipotent. The Russian officer on the train shouted in horror. Unfortunately, it was too late. One after another, the explosions were heard one after another, and the entire train was trembling violently under heavy artillery bombardment. The Russian army on the train even stood firmly at this time, and it was blown up in a few minutes.

There was a burst of cheers on the Fengtian army's positions.

"Bastard!" Hearing the frontline report that an armored train was destroyed by the Fengtian army, Seminov was furious and "Calling all the heavy artillery for me and blowing it hard!"

The 1877-type 107mm field cannon, 152mm siege cannon, 1904 howitzer, 1909-type 122mm howitzer, 105mm mountain howitzer, and *** also provided Type 38 105,150mm field cannon, which has 27 totals. Although the caliber is quite mixed and ammunition supply is difficult to supply, a considerable number of heavy artillery are very old, but heavy artillery is heavy artillery, and its power is not comparable to the 75mm mountain cannon and field cannon currently in service in the Fengtian Army. What's more, the Russian army has two larger caliber 280mm overheaval artillery.

When the Russian heavy artillery group poured out anger at the Fengtian army's positions, the Fengtian army's cheers stopped abruptly because of the blow-up of an enemy's armored train.

"Scene, hide!" Wang Bingnan, the commander of the Independent Artillery Regiment, was an expert in artillery play. Hearing the unusual roar of shells in the air, Wang Bingnan's face changed. It was at least a cannon group with a caliber of 105mm, which was so powerful.

The entire Fengtian Army position showed horror. Wherever the shells passed, there was no complete corpse. Many soldiers were torn to pieces in the explosion, and the corpse was left untold.

This is not the most terrifying thing. When the Russian army's only two 280mm super-heavy cannons spit out thunderous roars, the Fengtian army has always been proud of and turned into a small voice. Nearly 220 kilograms of shells were formed into huge bombs on the ground. The bomb craters were so shocking. It made people feel cold.

The Fengtian army has always emphasized the advantage of firepower during the battle. After suffering some losses on the strengths of artillery, it is inevitable that they are a little at a loss.

"Everyone cheer me up and let me see that our Feng army's gunners are not vegetarians!" Wang Bingnan yelled. The artillery commanders all had a loud voice. This was trained in a specific environment.

The Russian army overwhelmed the Feng army in heavy artillery, but the Feng army had an absolute advantage in terms of 75mm caliber. Moreover, the Feng army usually trained more live-fire artillery and was no less than the Russian gunners. After the initial surprise, the Feng army's artillery did not orderly smash the shells to the Russian positions. After several battles, they were not at a disadvantage.

With both sides putting their strength in their efforts, the intensity of the battlefield surprised the British and American military officers on the Fengtian army. Since the Russo-Japanese War, I have never expected to see such a fierce battle in the Far East. Moreover, the war was still the Chinese team, which was always looked down upon by Europeans. Even though I had looked up to the Fengtian army before, I only thought that the Fengtian army was a relatively strong army in China, and it was a tall one among the shorts.
