Chapter 896: Battle of the Far East - The Furry Bear Who Defended Stubbornly
The strange behavior of the German-Austrian allies, of course, was Bismarck's trick, although no one understood it, but his trick was really very high. The focus of the German-Austrian advance is currently on the Balkan Peninsula, to scare the Russians so that they will not dare to make peace anymore, and to let the Serbian gang know that foreign aid is hopeless, and there is really no need to invade Russian territory. At the same time, it was also to appease Britain and France, and make Britain and France believe that Germany was just a deterrent, and did not completely solve Russia's intentions, so as not to drive back the main forces of Britain and France. Of course, it is also to motivate Goxinga, so that the Manchurian Army can continue to desperately kill more Russian troops, and the Germans and Austrians will wait until Russia is completely out of play, and then give the Russians the final blow.
"Fight for another day, if it doesn't work, let's withdraw!" Shocked to hear that Germany and Austria had entered the war, Guo Xinga was indeed very excited, and immediately spread the good news to the northern front line to boost the morale of the troops. However, after waiting for two or three days, the German-Austrian allies did not make any progress, and they were still grinding on the Russian border, not even an inch of Russian territory was occupied, and Goxinga's blood was cold at that time. The breakthrough on the Yekarinburg front has not been large, but the supply of troops has become more and more difficult, and Gochena does not want to become Napoleon or Hitler himself.
"The gap is open! Brothers, come after me! "When Guoxing'a retreated within a limited time, Guo Zhen, who had only been able to charge with Wang Daqiu, was charging with a company of infantry, and they had already attacked the city of Fort Yekarina.
Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich the Elder wanted to hollow out the underground of Yekarina Castle like Amba Lingwu, and even wanted to build an underground city like the Temple Street in those years, but the conditions really did not allow it. The 7th Division had a professional engineering unit, and Amba Lingwu had a reasonable design and used a large number of fraudulent drugs, which completed the huge amount of earthwork. However, the elder Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich did not have professional design personnel and construction teams, and he did not master the technology of directional blasting, so he could only dig purely by manpower. Fort Yekarina is not a barren hill like the 15th Heights, this is a city with a good foundation, digging stones and hardening the soil layer is completely different from digging frozen soil, and the progress of the Russian army is naturally very slow. At the same time, the construction conditions of the Russian army are also very difficult, and there are a few days of heavy snow in Amba Lingwu, but the Russian army can only face artillery fire.
Since the siege of Yekarina Burg, Acton has organized a high-density fire coverage of the Russian army. The fifteen-kilometer position outside Fort Yekarina could hold off the soldiers of the Manchurian Army, but not the shells of the Manchurian Army. What was once a densely built and well-shaped castle has now been bombed into a dilapidated kiln. And with the loss of the outer positions, the artillery positions of the Manchurian Army moved forward, and Yekarinaburg no longer had a place to hide from the shelling. The Manchurian Army also came up with an even more terrifying weapon - the Katyusha rocket launcher because of the shortened range.
Guoxinga has been tinkering with rockets since the time of the deserted village, and naturally he will not let go of his former favorites, although the investment in research and development is not large, but the rockets of the Manchurian Army are still developing well. After the truck was built for 100 projects, Guoxinga immediately pressed the rocket on the truck and became the earliest self-propelled gun of the Manchurian Army. Although the caliber and other parameters are completely different, Goxinga still stubbornly named this rocket launcher Katyusha. Everyone felt that this weapon was specially designed by Goxinga for the Russians, so it was given such a name, and only Goxinga himself knew that it was a tribute to the classics.
The biggest disadvantage of Katyusha is that the reloading speed is slow, but the single firepower is absolutely fierce, and the Russian army can experience the feeling of the sky falling apart every forty minutes or so. It is too embarrassing to dig underground under such fierce artillery fire, and often the tunnel is directly blown up and collapsed by artillery fire before it is dug through. Even if the old Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich dies and wants to threaten him, the soldiers of the Russian army have no choice. In order not to commit such an unfortunate thing as a mutiny before the battle, the old Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich could only suspend the work and find a way on the ground.
"Hidden! Russian army bunkers! "The Russian army has built countless fortresses on the surface, and with the cooperation of the original buildings, it can be regarded as an emergency solution. It's a pity that these things are not a problem in front of Guo Zhen, and their equipment is much more advanced than during the siege of Temple Street. In the face of the sudden appearance of the Russian cement fortress on the street, Guo Zhen did not let people cheat the medicine bag, nor did he call for heavy artillery support in the rear, but took out the latest product bazooka.
The Javelin rocket launcher carried by the individual soldiers of the Manchurian Army is a direct copy of the RPG of Guoxinga, which is used to deal with the cement fortress of the Russian army, and the effect is not ordinarily good. The trenches of the Russian army in order to block the Manchurian infantry artillery became meaningless. The most impressive weapon of the Russian army for the forward troops of the Manchurian Army is the infantry artillery that can move with the company and platoon. This kind of medium-caliber artillery, which can be quickly mobile and small in size, is almost an all-rounder, and can do the work of attacking fortifications and fire support, but it has made the veterans of the Russian army suffer a lot. Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich the Elder designed many measures against the infantry, but unfortunately the weapons of the Manchurian Army have long been updated. In addition to the Japanese troops and some second-line troops, infantry artillery was also used, and the other main forces were all replaced by rocket launchers and large-caliber mortars.
"At ten o'clock, the Russian army bunker group, call the god arrow!" Guo Zhen found himself in a watermelon field, and the forts were one after the other.
Because of some coincidence, the design of the old Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich did not completely fail, they failed to prevent the infantry of the company level from running, but gave the battalion level magic arrows and rockets. This treasure, which at first glance looks like a farm machine, is a very good weapon, and it has been almost twenty years since Guo Xing'a copied it, but it is old and strong, and it is still an important firepower support for the forward troops of the Manchurian Army. This treasure, called the Divine Machine Arrow, is a direct copy of Guoxinga's guerrilla artifact Type 63 Type 107 rocket launcher. This weapon, which is very suitable for guerrilla warfare, has always been the favorite of the Manchurian Army's forward infiltration troops and cavalry, and it is light and trouble-free. When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, you can get a match and launch it, there is really nothing to say. So although the weapons and equipment of the Manchurian Army were constantly changed like exhibitions, this old guy still stayed with the soldiers. As long as you find a large number of enemy skirmishers, or a group of fortresses, calling the Divine Arrow is definitely the best choice. The trenches and obstacles of the old Grand Duke Nikolai Nikolayevich did not stop the rifle artillery, but they caused a certain amount of trouble to the magic arrows, and the gun carriage with wheels was indeed very difficult to move. However, this thing is also a guerrilla artifact, and it is difficult to walk on the wheels, so you can disassemble the wheels and carry them. Slow is a little slow, but it will never delay things, Guo Zhen's fire support is still on call.
"Deputy battalion commander, let's go to the city!" The second squad leader, who was almost trampled to death by the hooves of the Cossack cavalry, is now a qualified veteran, and he can also find respite in the fierce battle.
"There are a lot of houses here, they must have entered the city!" Guo Zhen looked around, the broken bricks on the ground were as thick as snow, and there must have been a lot of buildings before this place turned into ruins.
"It's in! Take the command post of the Russian army, and the battle will be over! "The second squad leader is a little war-weary, he has been fighting since the beginning of the summer, and he has been fighting for more than half a year, and he really wants to rest and rest.
"Almost, after this battle, you can rest, and the spring ...... next year" There was a sound of rockets cutting through the air in the sky, Guo Zhen retracted his body on the broken wall, and leisurely lit a cigarette, but his words behind him were also drowned in the explosion.
In the loud rumbling noise, the second squad leader kept talking and gesturing, but unfortunately Guo Zhen couldn't hear a word. Guo Zhen, who has been leading soldiers for decades, knows very well that this young man is homesick. Calm down and think about it, it seems that it is time for me to retire from the army, and after decades of fighting, it is time to become a rich man. However, Guo Zhen has to fight this battle well, and he will be promoted again after making meritorious contributions, so that he can retire from the army with an honorary rank and no longer need to take off his military uniform. really left the team, Guo Zhen wanted to go back to his hometown in Guannai to have a look, and he also went back to show off.
"Almost, let's go!" The smoke and dust dissipated, and Guo Zhen rushed into the street again with the soldiers.
The buildings of Fort Yekarina and the fortresses built by the Russians themselves provided the raw materials, and the artillery fire of the Manchurian Army provided the power, and everyone worked together to build graves here and bury the Russian soldiers in them. Blood was rarely seen between the ruins, and even if there were occasional severed limbs and covered in dust, no one could tell what it was. The battlefield picture can be said to be much better than before.
"Oops, fuck me!" The three pacesetters were on the slide one after another, and Guo Zhen, who was a little anxious, walked up quickly to check, but he didn't take a few steps, and he also slipped and fell to the ground.
"Deputy battalion commander, oops! ......" The second squad leader and a few other people hurriedly stepped forward to help Guo Zhen, but they also fell down one by one, as if the ground had suddenly become an ice skating rink.
"Da da......" Guo Zhen held on to the ground and wanted to stand up, but as soon as he exerted his strength, he slipped again, and he immediately noticed the strangeness and wanted to call the soldiers to be careful, but it was too late. In the ruins on the street corner, a machine gun of the Russian army was hidden, and the terrifying sound of gunfire resounded through the streets. The soldiers who fell to the ground struggled to get up and dodge, but they couldn't stand steadily, and one by one they fell in a hail of bullets.
"Be careful!" Guo Zhen and other experienced people on the battlefield had long given up getting up, rolled directly on the ground, and grunted to a safe place. Guo Zhen was out of danger, but he suddenly found that the homesick fool was still struggling in the rain of bullets, so he could only fly over and save the fool's life. But at the moment when he knocked down the second squad leader, a heart-piercing pain came from Guo Zhen's left leg, and Guo Zhen knew that he had been shot.
"Deputy battalion commander, deputy battalion commander......" The second squad leader who fell to the ground quickly understood, and dragged Guo Zhen to hide in a safe place, but his hand holding Guo Zhen was already blood-red.
"Shut up, I'm not dead yet! Damn, I can only be a cripple who returns home! Guo Zhen's left calf is already in a mess, and he feels that he will definitely be promoted this time, but this leg is afraid that it is enough to choke.
