Chapter 18 Blood Fire Grassland (1)

. "Since that's the case, Chief of Staff, please allocate troops."

Jiang Linyong has a standard German style and is more powerful than the chief of staff like Zhao Guoxiang who is from the General Staff, and is just a nasty idea.

Zhao Guoxiang and him have been partnering with him for a long time and nodded: "Commander, I suggest using the Fourth Division Search Battalion and one battalion to reinforce the left wing, transfer two infantry battalions, and add two artillery battalions to support the middle road."

"Chief of Staff, one search battalion is not enough," Jiang Fangzhen suddenly said, "In my opinion, in addition to the search battalion, the direct cavalry unit, plus a regiment of the Fourth Division, must be transferred to the left wing, and the frontal defense line should be stabilized according to the situation, or support the side and rear."

Zhao Guoxiang's pupils contracted: "What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid the enemy will have a chance to attack," said Jiang Fangzhen. "After fighting for so long, what about the Russian huge cavalry unit? It's night, and airships are inconvenient to detect airships, but their cavalry can use the night to surround our left flank from the far flank, destroy our left wing in one fell swoop, and then encircle our Central Group. Now all the left wing forces are stuck to the front. If a cavalry is assassinated in the dark, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Jiang Linyong's eyes flashed, and he looked at Zhao Guoxiang.

"Order the Fourth Division to concentrate the trucks, armored cars, and cavalry, and then transfer them to the First and Second Regiments of the Independent Cavalry, and quickly spread to the left wing to form two lines of defense. In addition, it is not the time to keep it confidential." Jiang Linyong issued an order directly at this time, "After I give them an hour and an hour, the left wing will immediately notify the 10th Division, and now we will draw troops and launch a warning nearby from the side and back."

In the darkness, a force was moving rapidly.

Xiao Lan looked solemn and urged in a low voice: "Hurry up, our time is very tight, and the Russian cavalry may appear at any time."

Xiao Lan quickly arrived at the destination with three rows. A low hill with some low shrubs underneath. With the terrain, the temporary machine gun position had been unfolded, and the vanguards had already buried mines and scattered caltrops in front of the position. The others waved the engineer shovels like crazy and quickly dug out the individual bunker.

"Yes, it's here. We must use the terrain. Now we can only rely on the backscene bunker to defend against artillery attacks." Xiao Lan said helplessly. The hill is too short and too slow. The effect of the backscene is really limited, but it is better than nothing.

Not long after, Ma Ming, the commander of the third row of sergeant with his ears touching the ground, whispered: "Here you come."

Xiao Lan felt that the blood suddenly solidified.

He only had a temporary platoon to be transferred here, and the situation of friendly forces on the flanks was similar. How many enemies were there? No one knew that Liang Zixiong's guns were deafening. Obviously, the battle was already in full swing. But if it weren't for the emergency order of the command, he would have thought that a huge cavalry group would have penetrated into the slanting thorn at this time.

He whispered the order, and the soldiers who had been baptized by the battle took their place in silence. The grenades opened the bottom cover and spread them one by one in the individual bunker. They held the guns in their hands tightly and hid on the back slope of the hills. Only the officers leaned out.

Head, waiting for the enemy to appear.

After a while, the wail of war horses and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came. It was obvious that the caltrops played a role, followed by several violent explosions and the mines rang.

"beat"

Xiao Lan raised his hand and shots, and the dense firepower burst out immediately. The entire hilly ridge line was like an erupting volcano. The cavalry rushing in front swept down a large area like a crop of wheat.

The Russian cavalry was obviously eager to go on the road, but they did not expect that someone was ambushing here. The vanguard troops almost died in an instant, and at least two squads of troops were reimbursed. Soon, the sound of people shouting and neighing from the distance came from a distance. It was obvious that the main force of the Russian army had noticed the tragic situation of the vanguard cavalry reconnaissance unit and was reorganizing the team to prepare for attack. At this time, gunfire and explosion sounded in the direction of the friend-neighboring side, and the battle started in all directions.

Xiao Lan swallowed and said to Ma Ming beside him: "We are in a hurry and there are few ammunitions. You can arrange a few people to pick up ammunition, go and go back quickly."

Ma Ming responded, took a few people to rush down the hills in the darkness, searched the Russian corpses, and brought more than a dozen horse rifles and bullet bags, and the grenades were back.

Xiao Lan patted his shoulder: "Not bad"

Ma Ming had no expression on his face, but was just silent.

Xiao Lan knew that the veteran was still worried about the order of shooting the deserter. But he had a clear conscience. If he hesitated for a while at that time, perhaps everyone would die and the position would naturally not be able to be kept.

Looking at the distance, there seemed to be reorganizing the formation, a thought flashed through Xiao Lan's mind and shouted: "Evacuate the formation and be careful of shelling."

Everyone hurriedly evacuated by the terrain. Sure enough, within a few minutes, a dense fire covered the small hills. It sounded like the 57mm cavalry artillery of the Russian cavalry unit.

Everyone looked at the deputy company commander and admired him. He was worthy of being a top student at Lu University. He did have a set of things, Xiao Lan didn't want to explain his experience in Beijing that night, and there was no time to say more. He knew that the enemy was about to start a new round of impact, and this would be an unprecedented fierce wave.

Sure enough, the dense sound of horse hooves sounded, and countless cavalry rushed over in the darkness. With a command, rows of grenades were thrown out, instantly igniting the bushes under the hills. The figures of the cavalrymen appeared in the fire, waving their sabers and looking ferocious.

The Chinese infantry's platoon shooting was very organized, and the dense rain of bullets quickly shattered their hope of breaking through in one fell swoop. The heroic Cossack knight fell off his horse, and his saber threw it into the bushes. The double-headed eagle's battle flag was trampled and broken by the horse's hooves, and the tall bear-wool hat was also trampled into pieces. Xiao Lan distributed firepower in an orderly manner, and a small hilly area actually became an insurmountable trench for the cavalry.

But the number of cavalry is too large and the speed is too fast. The visibility in the dark is very poor, the shooting distance of the defense is short, and the fire density is not enough. Although the Chinese army's bolt-type rifle inherits the advantage of fast shooting of Enfeld rifle, the soldiers' shooting training is very strict, but how can the rate of fire between twelve and fifteen rounds per minute intercept the cavalry's impact near the sight? In the blink of an eye, the cavalry's

The vanguard had already rushed to the edge, and the rifle with a bayonet stabbed into the horse's belly. At the same time, the saber cut open the carotid artery under the infantry helmet, and the blood of the sac took a shower to the Cossack who fell to the ground. The engineer who fell from the sky shoveled the Cossack's head cleanly and neatly.

More and more cavalry rushed up, and the firepower battle turned into hand-to-hand combat. Xiao Lan killed a Cossack with one knife, and actually snatched his horse and wielded his saber to fight the Cossacks. Although his equestrian skills were average, it was still possible to chop on the spot, and he killed his head and rolled around.

"Brothers, today is our death day next year." Xiao Lan waved his sword frantically, covered in blood, and his face was ferocious, like a ghost from hell. Even many brave Cossacks were intimidated, "We cannot be born in the same year and the same month, but I hope to die in the same year and the same month."

Xiao Lan really wants to die.

With the pride of the graduates of the University of Lu, Xiao Lan came to the glorious Seventh Division of the National Defense Forces. She was full of thoughts about being loyal to the country. Unexpectedly, she followed the troops back to Beijing inexplicably, and then fought a fierce battle with the navy, military police and imperial guards. In the end, she became a "rebel" and entered a military prison, and almost died with a bad reputation. Instead of taking the title of "rebellion" for the rest of her life, she would rather die in a dignified battle on the battlefield of the national war.

Xiao Lan's military uniform was stained with blood, but he was fighting like a tiger.

Seeing that the chief officer was so brave, the blood of the Chinese soldiers was also aroused. In groups of three or two, they were erecting bayonets, wielding engineer shovels, throwing grenades, firing machine guns, and fighting with the overwhelming cavalry.

Three minutes passed, fierce battle; five minutes passed, fierce battle was still fierce; eight minutes passed, fierce battle was still tenacious, most of the Chinese soldiers who were still fighting were killed or injured, but they still swear to guard the line to the death.

However, although the Chinese soldiers were brave, they fought with cavalry, and the loose scattered lines could not compete. As the continuous cavalry rushed up, the tenacious Chinese soldiers were finally submerged in the ocean of cavalry. Xiao Lan was also chopped twice from the back, dropped off the horse, and lost consciousness.

Lieutenant General Kampf, the commander of the first cavalry group of Russian rear Baikal, roared and urged his subordinates: "Damn it, splash things, see what you are made by the yellow monkeys. Have you all been castrated? He was blocked by a group of yellow monkeys for half an hour. I am really ashamed of you for you. Remember, you are His Majesty the Tsar. The brave Cossacks are the damn lazy men of the world's first cavalry army. We have only one mission to surround them and destroy them, that is, to destroy their rear and all their troops."

Suddenly, dense gunfire sounds came from the front, mixed with rapid-fire cannon explosions, dense grenade explosions, Kampf's expression changed and he hurriedly shouted: "Go and see what's going on?"

Soon, a blood-covered messenger ran over: "The commander's vanguard was blocked by the Chinese cavalry and infantry. The opponent and the cavalry were fighting in field on the spot, with very strong firepower of no less than one infantry regiment and six cavalry battalions."

"The damn front team has a total of twenty

"Kampf waving his horse whip angrily, "Tell Masayev that if he can't take the position of the yellow monkey, I will lead the team to charge in person."

He paused, his anger decreased slightly, and turned around and shouted: "Archive the artillery and I will take down the yellow monkey on the opposite side within half an hour."

His troops took advantage of the night to circumnavigate from fifteen kilometers away from the west of the Chinese defense line. Behind them, there was a huge infantry unit, namely the Fourth and Fifth Army of the Second Army of Samsonov, who were under Samsonov's rear Baikal Army, who were marching urgently. According to the plan, Kampf's cavalry units would advance wildly and give sudden blows to the enemy's left wing from the side and rear. Then Samsonov's roundabout troops, cooperated with the frontal forces of the Second Army to eliminate or severely damage the left wing of the Chinese army, and forced them to flee in the central direction. The Russian right wing corps could turn from the left wing of the Chinese army to the central government and annihilate the main force of the Chinese army in one fell swoop.

In Kampf's view, the Cossacks, as the Tsarist army, are the essence of the Russian army. As for Samsonov's infantry, they were just inferior serfs who cooperated with them in their performances.

The desperate battle was fully launched on the left wing of the Chinese army.

The Chinese infantry and cavalry who were urgently reinforced were under the fierce attack of the Russian Cossacks in the field. The Cossack troops who were sneered again, launched all firepower this time. A total of 48 57mm cavalry cannons and a large number of 47mm cavalry mortars bombed the temporary positions of the Chinese army into a sea of ​​fire. The Chinese army's regiment artillery immediately launched a counterattack against the Russian artillery. Even the long-range artillery group of the Chinese army urgently shifted its target and began to violently bombard the assembly grounds and artillery positions of the Russian cavalry. In the night, a huge orange-red fireball suddenly appeared on the Russian artillery position. It was obvious that the Russian artillery shell stacking point was detonated. I don't know how many officers and soldiers were killed and injured.

In such an uncovered field, the firepower of both sides shot fiercely, and the casualties were particularly severe.

Looking at the dense flashes ahead, Kampf's heart was in full swing. Samsonov once served as the principal of the cavalry school and was also a good cavalry warfare. Therefore, he has always been pointing in hand with Kampf's cavalry combat, which made Kampf, who claimed to be brave. This time, Kampf deliberately changed his plan and turned away Samsonov's infantry at a faster speed and deeper, in order to unexpectedly attack the Chinese army's command center and artillery positions and make a special contribution.

At this time, the Chinese army troops heading to block the attack had already made all their efforts and the greatest sacrifice. The temporary Chinese army blocking forces faced three times their own Russian cavalry, especially the Cossacks, which were famous for their bravery and good combat. They almost felt unbearable pressure in the moment of fire exchange. Some of the only large artillery of the Chinese army had been destroyed in the attack, leaving only mobile and flexible mortars and infantry artillery, constantly changing their firing positions. The participation of the Russian long-range support group of artillery groups also forced the Chinese long-range artillery groups to engage in artillery battles with them and canceled fire support here. The pressure of the Chinese army suddenly increased greatly.

The Chinese army was responsible for blocking the fourth division's investigation and search camp and the two

The independent cavalry regiments of border defense belong to mobile search units, not heavy infantry. The main organization of the reconnaissance battalion is two cavalry companies, each company with one hundred and fifty-one persons and one car company during wartime, and 22 armored cars were equipped with twenty-two armored cars. This time, in order to strengthen the blocking force, an armored car platoon directly under the division headquarters was specially mobilized, with a total of eight armored cars and carrying a reinforced platoon. But even if the cavalry was included in the horse fighting, they were only 540 people.

More importantly, the Fourth Division, as the old direct line of the National Defense Forces, was also a severely affected area in this purge. Many old officers received re-education in Beijing, or simply retired, and had been sentenced in Beijing. In addition to the sudden promotion of their troops, new officers were urgently transferred from "reliable" troops and even "politically reliable" students in several major military academies. The entire army is still running-in, and the team organization is in the reconstruction period after the disintegration. Now they are just fighting with a sense of responsibility for the national war, friendship and men's blood.

The two independent cavalry regiments of border defense were all about 1,300. Some of them were dismounted to fight and supported the troops of the Fourth Division. The other part mobilized the enemy to attack the enemy's weak links, threatened their backs, and protected their flanks. They were cavalry units that had been patrolling and fighting for a long time on the Mongolian border. Although their equipment was not first-class in the National Defense Forces, they were all excellent in both tactical qualities, combat experience and fighting will. Especially, they were not involved in this great purge, and their combat effectiveness was maintained very well, becoming the main force of this blocking battle.

The Chief of Staff of the Fourth Division, who had just taken up a new position, Lieutenant Colonel Chen Tianhua, the commander-in-chief of the blocking force, shook his head, shook off the floating soil, and grinned with the rumbling cannons and the sound of gunfires: "Hold the 99th steel gun in your hand, and kill all the enemies before stopping... Battalion Commander Zhao, pass on this sentence to you, today I, Chen Tianhua, and them drink the blood of the Northern Barbarians, how happy it is."

Zhao Boyang, the battalion commander of the search battalion, looked at the man in a crazy state and couldn't help but say, "Chief of Staff, the troops on the opposite side are several times that of ours, so it's better to deal with it with caution."

"It's still less." Chen Tianhua shook his head, "We will kill four or five of us and we will kill each other. Is this possible?"

Zhao Boyang was stunned. Looking at Chen Tianhua's extremely serious and enthusiastic expression, he had to smile bitterly and salute, crawl towards his command position.

Chen Tianhua looked at the flashing fire in the night and the figures that appeared in the fire. He watched the dense firepower of both sides decorate the night into a gorgeous sea of ​​stars. He thought about the coming bloody killing. The Chinese soldiers who were once invincible in front of Westerners can today reap the lives of Europeans face to face, and their faces showed intoxication.

"Emperor, leader, or president, everything is good. As long as you can protect the country and seeds and return blood with blood, it is enough. Why bother to pick on it?" He thought silently, "China, which has been weak for a hundred years and has been ignorant for a hundred years, has awakened. Now it is time to let this world feel its power. It is a hundred years old. A real man was born in this world of great struggle. He can give up this body for me, and shed a lot of passion. How happy is it to be able to shed his blood for me."

More than three kilometers behind the front line, a long military truck braked the gate, the hook of the carriage baffle opened, and the infantry jumped out of the tank and formed an emergency team. Each of the steel helmets were covered with black cotton covers to cover the reflection of the roasted blue. Many southern soldiers looked a little pale, and they were obviously out of emergency in the middle of the night, and they were still a little uncomfortable with the cold in the north of the desert.

Cai E carries a domestic large mirror automatic pistol and carries a special sniper rifle behind his back. Everyone has seen the magic gun of this new camp in the training ground. This time, when he saw the rumored Lu Da's second-hand man carrying it, he knows that this battle is really a fatal blow, and he is shocked.

Cai E's side face looked particularly hard under the fire of torches and horse lanterns. He looked at the neat queue and said solemnly: "We are soldiers. Soldiers are just defending the country. Looking for a glorious way of death today, the Russians have already called over to foreign devils, or to be a dignified Chinese. It depends on ours. Today, I, Cai E, live with you, and die in a trench. Everyone turns left and runs forward. I run the first one."...
