Samsonov, commander of the Russian Second Army, had no time to gloat about the destruction of Kampf over the years, and his own troubles were already great.

Before, he had always believed that Kampf had been hit by the Chinese army in a surprise and suffered some losses in recent years. He was at ease and believed that the other party would move closer to him, so that he could completely grasp this crucial mobile force.

All his attention was focused on crushing the resistance of the Chinese army in front of him. According to his order, the two divisions of the Third Army of the Russian Baikal Infantry were first deployed in the north and attacked the positions of the 32nd Division of the 30th Army, the 30th Army blocking the Chinese army in front of him. On its southern wing, three divisions of the Fourth Army were deployed in sequence one hour later, two of which sought a frontal breakthrough, and the other detoured to the south flank.

The 12th Division of the Siberian Cavalry of its reserve team was ordered to encircle the deeper flanks in the south, and he personally controlled the two divisions of the 6th Baikal Army behind the reserve team.

His artillery has begun and is engaged in artillery battles with the Chinese in front of him.

In his northeast direction, three divisions of his rear Baikal Fifth Army were also carrying out restraining attacks on the 11th Army of the Chinese Army.

Everything went well, and the plan was in line with the rules.

But at four o'clock in the afternoon, he lined up to detour south, and later received an order to turn to the 12th Siberian Cavalry Division, which responded to Kampf's troops, brought back the defeat. Kampf's troops were defeated. He was not aware of his life and death. The defeated troops were gathered and brought together, as well as the information that the Chinese army had strong mobile forces and air combat power.

In the intelligence, the power of the Chinese was infinitely exaggerated, and the deserters "swear to the Virgin: the entire sky is full of huge airships, and there are thousands of aircraft that can fire heavy machine gun bullets." "The Chinese have armored vehicles that can fight, densely packed everywhere."

Samsonov suddenly fell into confusion.

He couldn't figure out how many of Kampf's four cavalry divisions collapsed in more than an hour? The scene described by these people was not simply a war, but a doomsday judgment

He had enough reason to suspect that these obviously insane soldiers were "unexpected by some Chinese surprise attack tactics" and "abandoned the courage that they should have as Russian soldiers."

But Samsonov had no intention of scolding these soldiers, and the real annoyance had already come to him and his second group of troops.

Almost as the Kampf cavalry cluster was destroyed in successive years, Samsonov's left wing, and later the junction of the Fifth Baikal Army and the First Army on the Russian Central Front, were subjected to fierce attacks by the Chinese army.

The Chinese army had 860 artillery artillery of various caliber, and prepared fierce artillery fire for the five-kilometer front.

Since China had already started to mobilize the national economy in accordance with the unified plan before the war started, and included a large number of related enterprises in the unified management system, the already relatively strong military-industrial productivity has increased rapidly again. The artillery consumed by the Northern Front Army in artillery battles has been replenished, and a large number of field artillery and heavy artillery troops have even been mobilized from the new units trained in the rear.

The deadly killer weapon that the Chinese army has been hiding for a long time: the three- or five-mm train cannon has also made its debut. This heavy cannon with a high elevation angle and a range of 20 kilometers is the train version of the Navy's 12-inch cannon. It has unparalleled power and is also the absolute killer weapon of this era.

The Chinese military used six railways to maneuver, all of which were pure steel-protected self-propelled train guns. They lined up along the east-west railways and poured huge bullets into the rear of the Russian army at a terrifying rate of fire per minute.

The artillery positions strengthened with sandbags, two-three millimeter heavy howitzers, one-five cannons, one-five howitzers, and one-five howitzers were like steel jungles, with dense flashes and blazing flames that made the sun in the sky pale.

With its strong military productivity and abundant resources, the saltpeter mines in the northwest and southeast, Nanyang and Yunnan, Chahar's copper mines are continuously transported to explosives and arsenals, turning into explosives and guns and shells. Now, the Northern Front Army has a maximum of 1,500 shells per heavy artillery, and each rapid-fire gun has a maximum of 3,000 shells.

This is true artilleryism, naked steel violence.

The Chinese army's philosophy of war is to concentrate overwhelming firepower in key areas, tear the human body with steel, and destroy the spirit with explosives.

Since the Russian army was in an attacking posture and in the Gobi Desert, its field fortifications were repaired in sloppy. The Chinese army's artillery, after repeated reconnaissance by the aviation troops, had already marked the important targets of the Russian army.

This shelling became an eternal nightmare for Russian survivors.

The god of death fell from the sky, the Russian army's shallow defensive positions were shattered like bullet shells, and the weak human body was exposed in the storm of steel, ravaged, torn apart like a rag doll, and even turned into ashes in the explosion.

Due to the dense and terrifying explosion of the Russian military positions, they turned into an oxygen-deficient steamer. The high temperature, the oxygen was burned out by the explosives, and the dense shrapnel was densely damaged. A group of Russian troops stationed in this area was killed and injured within five minutes.

The Chinese army's artillery fire continued to advance in depth, leaving behind a large slaughterhouse covered with craters and charred meat.

The steel storm swept past like a typhoon, and the Russian military's positions were terrible.

Xu Jin barrage, this is the legendary Xu Jin barrage.

Using the air force's prior reconnaissance and cascade shooting, the Chinese army's firepower's effective shooting hit a perfect Xu Jin barrage in this attack.

The artillery firepower turned to a depth and divided part of the firepower to attack the counterattack forces of the Russian army on both sides.

The 1st White Tiger Army, which had been insecure for a long time, was led by the Fifteenth Cavalry Divisions, with the Fifteenth Cavalry Division, with a cavalry regiment guarding each on the left and right wings. The 13th Royal Guard Division, which was shipped by all trucks, was the backbone, like a sharp blade that cruelly divided the Russian First Army and the Second Army.

At the same time, the main force of the Chinese aerial forces and aviation forces carried out key strikes on the Russian heavy artillery positions that had been investigated in advance. The Russian rapid-fired anti-aircraft artillery and heavy machine guns were quickly submerged under the huge aerial cluster strike, and the heavy artillery positions immediately turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The Chinese air force also suffered great losses.

These simple airships and aircraft did not have the thick protection of the Il-2 during World War II. The wooden fuselage was almost broken with a single poke in front of the bullet. Although the airship was protected by steel plates, its airbags were ultimately weak.

But the price is sudden and concentration.

In this era, there is no attack from the air. Military experts' understanding of war is to stay at the concept of "line of fire", at most, the support of rear curved artillery fire to the front. They did not realize that future war will soon enter four-dimensional space from a simple ground: the concept of a three-dimensional war zone composed of aerial ground, and the fourth dimension composed of radio waves.

The Russian heavy artillery position, an important material transfer point, and the command center are the key targets of the Chinese aviation and aerial forces, as well as the heavy artillery forces under its school firing command.

The dense rain of bullets accurately and intensively swept the important targets behind the Russian army under the calibration in the air.

Lieutenant General Shitakliberge's command became the key target of the Chinese army. The lieutenant general's idea was to be opened. He made some disguise on the command and specially dug out the basement. The main purpose was to prevent long-range artillery attacks by the Chinese army. But in the end, his command staff frequently entered and exited, the telephone lines were as dense as spider webs, and the unique roughness of the Russians led to less attention to details in the work, so his command was still the blacklist of the Chinese army.

Dense bombing.

When Lieutenant General Shitakliberge, who was dragging his injured leg, was helped to climb out of the basement, and what he saw was the ruins of smoke, his hard-working staff members were almost wiped out.

But he was lucky after all.

Samsonov is less fortunate than him.

According to the original plan, Xie Yong's first cavalry division should bypass the Russian rear Baikal 6th Army and reach a joint venture with the White Tiger 1st Army in the distance. However, this bold commander rode a small hill alone, observed it with a telescope, decisively ordered to directly attack the marching column of the Sixth Army, and signaled to the airline contact airships to "request for air support."

The towed cannons he carried were immediately unfolded, and fifteen minutes later, a nightmare came to the head of the Sixth Army of the Later Baikal.

The dense artillery fire suddenly fell from the sky. The dense column of Russian troops who were marching were cut off and they were instantly trapped in a terrifying hell. Flying shrapnel and violent explosions were reaping lives. These dizzy soldiers were blown up to pieces before they could react.

After a short five-minute fire attack, the artillery fire extended, and behind the hills in the distance, a terrifying scene that would never be forgotten in life appeared at the place where the heaven and earth were connected.

The earth was trembling rhythmically, but it was not tens of millions of horse hooves, but the sound of a roller crossing the road. It was not one, but hundreds of thousands of steel monsters rushed over, and there were also fatal bullets and artillery shells that the Russian army had rush to unfold. The machine guns were knocked out by dense firepower, and these monsters had already expanded their formation, like two iron clamps and pinched towards the Russian column.

Behind is an armored car.

Some officers are not unfamiliar with them. Five years ago, the British used this weapon in the Boer War, and the Russian and Japanese troops also had matching objects. However, these things are not easy to use, and they have poor riding feeling and cannot drive for long distances. They have many problems, especially the tires are not durable.

But the armored car on the opposite side suddenly appeared, filling the entire field of vision

In the air, the Chinese black bread and flies flew over their heads again, but what did they drop this time? It was a terrifying bomb.

The toy, which originally thought could only be used to expand its horizons, turned into the Black Death God who spreads death. This strong contrast made the Russian soldiers lose their thinking power.

The ground is fast, invulnerable, and can fire shells and bullets;

Machine guns can be fired, wooden toys that throw bombs and terrifying floating beasts in the sky;

Armored cars with a sturdy field of vision, fast speed and amazing firepower.

The Russian post-Baikal Sixth Army fell into chaos and eventually collapsed under a sudden blow from the flanks.

A regiment on the right wing of the 20th Siberian Division almost turned into a mess of sand as soon as it met. The division commander led a regiment to the defense, but was first beaten by the Chinese air force, followed by extension bombardment one after another. Then the motorized impact of the Chinese light chariot leading the way.

Crash, or collapse, a crash without suspense.

In the face of this integrated air-ground attack that transcends the times, the Russian army across the continent became like toy soldiers. Originally, the Russian army was not so bad, but was suddenly hit during the march, with chaos in formation, insufficient mental preparation, and suddenly encountered a completely subversive heavy blow like air strikes and ground mechanization shocks. The collapse of the spirit led to the disintegration of will and the loss of control of behavior.

Xie Yong's First Preparatory Cavalry Division, or the First Royal Armored Cavalry Division, was invincible like a sharp blade that cuts cheese. Many Russian troops were intimidated by these monsters with invulnerability and fierce firepower, and knelt on the ground with tears in their tears, holding the cross and muttering something, not knowing what they were praying for. Many people simply threw down their rifles, took off their military uniforms, and took off their white shirts and waved them.

In another time and space, when the German army was panicked in the face of the large iron cabinet that could spit fire, and even collapsed on a large scale and surrendered, if they saw the Russian army at this moment, they would definitely be far behind.

The failure of the Russian army soon turned into a complete collapse. The Russian soldiers who had fallen into chaos abandoned all their pride, self-esteem, courage and belief, and ran away like rabbits with all their hearts.

This Russian Second Front Army reserve team repeated the mistakes of the Kampf cavalry cluster for many years, and it collapsed like ice and snow melting.

This day is destined to be an eternal nightmare for the Russian Army.

The 19th Division, which operated side by side on the flank of the 20th Division, arrived at a terrible heavy blow almost at the same time: the 5th and 15th Cavalry Divisions of the vanguard of the White Tiger Army, and the 3rd Division of the Royal Imperial Guards.

Xie Yong, who defeated the 20th Division and drove the defeated generals towards Samsonov's headquarters, had already led his main force to continue rushing to the right wing of the 19th Division, forming a joint attack with the White Tiger First Army.

The 19th Division's fate was even more miserable than the 20th Division. After being hit hard, the division insisted on resisting a certain amount of resistance in the White Tiger First Army. As the 19th Division was disintegrated, before there was time to adjust its deployment, Xie Yong's motorized cluster had already rushed over fiercely, smashing the unit into fragments. The division commander was killed. The chief of staff led the remnants to discard all the cannons and baggage and fled towards the main force in the east.

Xie Yong's light chariot swayed to greet him. The excited-looking general unfolded a flag of the Imperial Guard and shouted: "Old Imperial Guard Cavalry Division, which part of Xie Yong are you?"

An armored car drove over, and the Gobi painted in smoke was black. A strong lieutenant general also unfolded a red-bottomed golden dragon-treading sun flag of the Imperial Guard: "Captain of the First White Tiger Army, Li Yuanhong"

Xie Yong looked closely and was overjoyed. He jumped out of the car and met him: "Lie Pusa Lieutenant General, why did you rush to the front?"

Li Yuanhong also crawled out of the top of the machine gun tower, jumped to the ground, moved his body, and held Xie Yong's hand: "Xie Laozhuan, our brothers have met again, it's been half a year? It's really hard for you to be in this place where birds do not lay eggs."

"It's safe, with this one, everything is worth it." Xie Yong grinned, "This battle is comfortable and relieved. I think the battlefield in the future is the world of this mobile force. You cavalry and infantry must stand on the side."

Li Yuanhong nodded: "It's indeed extraordinary. By the way, what are you going to do next?"

"I happened to have a new idea, and I would like to touch you." Xie Yong's expression returned to seriousness, "I think the original plan must be adjusted."

-------------------------

The encirclement has closed.

At this time, Zhang Pushun, the commander of the Zhuque Cluster, breathed a sigh of relief. If Xie Yong's unauthorized change of the plan caused a loophole in the entire operation, he would not be able to escape the responsibility. Now, there was no such thing as missing.

But Xie Yong is destined not to let him worry.

Zhang Pushun, who was busy arranging the encirclement, took the telegram from Xie Yong sent by the communications staff, and then stumbled and cursed: "Is it the Imperial Guard's fucking thing? The Imperial Guards are still the second time after the first time. Isn't he so addicted to Niu Dabing? The military police brought it to me and took this kid back directly."

"Captain, Li Yuanhong, the commander of the First White Tiger Army, came to report." Chief of Staff Lu Mingyuan hurried to his car and handed over a telegram.

Zhang Pushun took it over and looked at it, his face becoming more and more ugly: "Damn Li Bodhisattva, when will it be his turn to worry about my troops? Well? He also agreed with Xie Yong's bullshit plan? I want me to report it together? He wanted to make a name for himself and say that the soldiers of the Imperial Guards must obey."

"Who is that? Who is coming?"

Seeing that the commander was a little confused, Niu Dabing, the director of the Military Law Department who had just jogged over, hurriedly stood attentively and saluted: "Senior, I'm here."

"Who told you, let me get out?" Zhang Pushun waved his hand impatiently, "Communication Staff, report the reservation plan of this cluster, as well as the plans of Li Yuanhong and Xie Yong to the headquarters, and ask the headquarters to decide. Our army will implement the reservation plan first."

Chief of Staff Lu Mingyuan was stunned: "General Director?"

"Old Lu, Li Yuanhong is the trusted minister of the late emperor after all. Even if he has lost his melons now, how can he know that the new emperor wants him to come to the front line to make contributions." Zhang Pushun said, "They are willing to torture them. Let's first unfold according to the pre-determined plan and block the encirclement. As for Xie Yong, that bastard, this kid is also considerate. It is not good for him if he really makes a big fuss. See where he takes."

--------

The Northern Front Command of the Chinese Army.

At this moment, everyone was in the mood to celebrate because the command of the base camp only had two words: "Total annihilation"
Chapter completed!
