Chapter 525: The Authentic Banzai Charge

The one-sided slaughter of the Russian army by the mercenaries lasted for half an hour, and more than 7,000 Russian troops died in this fateful pit. However, this kind of slaughter is not destined to last, because the firepower of the mercenaries is limited, and there are too many Russian troops. With nearly a third of the Russian army falling to the ground, the Russian army finally had room to move.

The Russian army paved the way with the corpses of its companions, and finally paved a way of life, and the living could aim and return fire, and calmly advance and retreat. When the officers in command finally organized the soldiers, the Russians even found some gentle slopes and began to attack the mercenaries on the high ground. The average army, if nearly one-third of them had been killed, would have already collapsed. But the woolly bears are also fighting against the water, and if they can't break out today, they have only a dead end. Therefore, no matter how many casualties they pay, even if they fight to the last man, they must move forward bravely.

Asano had less than 1,000 men on his hands, and he couldn't resist the decisive charge of more than 20,000 Russian troops. Not to mention 20,000 Russian troops, even 20,000 pigs rushed over, and it is not something that a thousand people can stop. Heights 23 urgently needed support, and Asano did not dare to count on the Guards Brigade two kilometers away, so he could only draw troops from other positions. The direction of the Russian army's main attack is the 23rd Height, so everything in this area is urgent, and Asano can only draw troops from the 17th Height, which is dominated by the Zenyu Brigade.

Heights 17 and Heights 23 are the two core points of symmetry of the entire defense line, and now that Heights 23 is heavily attacked by the Russian army, the relative pressure in the direction of Heights 17 is less, and Asano can only transfer troops from here. At the same time, Asano also has some ulterior thoughts, Shanyu is a Manchurian nobleman, and his grandfather has a huge influence in the core of North Manchuria. If the mercenary division is finished, Guo Xing'a may not be able to take care of it, but if something goes wrong with Shanyu's side, Guo Xing'a will definitely not sit idly by. So if there is a point on the defense line that is in danger, Asano would rather this point be the Zenyu Brigade, at least he will get the full support of the Guards Brigade in the shortest possible time.

With the arrival of reinforcements, the 23rd Heights and the surrounding positions all entered a white-hot battle. The desperate woolly bears and brave warriors use their blood to change the white snow on this black land. Every centimeter of the Russian army's advance requires countless blood, and the mercenaries also dye their positions a crimson color.

"The general offensive begins!" From the moment the Russian army took the wrong path, Milyutin knew that his plan to open the gap with explosives and then shake the Manchurian defense line had failed. But he had a second plan, and the 40,000 men on the front line of Heights 23 were just his bait, and now he had to put all the gambling books on the table.

The Russian army, with the most elite 3rd Guards Infantry Division as the vanguard, launched a final offensive on the 17th Heights garrisoned by Shanyu after all the main forces of the mercenaries were attracted to the front line of the 23rd Height. The Armstrong guns that had not been found in the direction of Heights 23 for a long time all appeared in front of Shanyu, and the Russian army even put their few * Gatling machine guns on the front line of Heights 17.

Without the guidance of the airship, Shanyu could not get the artillery support of the Guards Brigade, and his firepower was also stretched thin by the inferior forces. The unprecedentedly dense firepower made Shanyu almost unable to raise his head, and the rumbling cannon sound caused an iron ball rain to fall from the height of No. 17. After the first wave of the enemy's attack was repulsed, Shanyu's brigade had already suffered more than 20 percent casualties, half of the machine-gun fire points had been knocked out, and Shanyu's command post had been smashed to pieces by iron balls. Shanyu's main position is already this tragic scene, and the other positions are even more unwatchable, and individual positions have begun to fight with the Russian army in the trenches.

"Wu Linjun, go back and ask for help!" Shanyu had just been scratched by the wooden spikes that had been blown away by the cannonball, and now she had a bandage on her forehead.

"Captain, the division commander is also in a predicament, and there will be no reinforcements sent to us!" The only thing that Wulin knows without a telescope is that Asano Sohide's side is not good, and the dense figures on the mountainside of the No. 23 Heights are the best example.

"Go to the rear, go to the general for help, we can't hold it!" Shanyu has matured a lot, and he made a very rational judgment, even if his subordinates will not be defeated, the Russian army will rush twice, and their position will be lost.

"Captain, let's go!" Speaking and listening, Shanyu's voice is very wrong, and it is an expression of explaining the future. The only thing that Wulin knows is that the battle situation has reached a very dangerous time, and Shanyu Terror has a broken heart, so he was sent to ask for help at this time, as if to save his life.

"I can't keep it, I'm ready to fight with Lao Maozi and fight back against him! At this time, the troops can't do without my command, so Wu Linjun, let's go! Shanyu is ready to be martyred, but he is still a little reluctant to give up his little follower.

"You go back and ask for help, and report the matter here to the general!" Wulin only looked at Shanyu for a long time, and then pulled a good Chinese soldier beside him, yelled at him a few times, and kicked him out of the trench with one kick.

"You...... Why bother? Shanyu watched the soldiers who asked for help run to the rear, and looked at Wulin only with a wry smile.

"I'm your follower, and when the jade is broken, of course I have to follow you! Thank you, Captain, if there is an afterlife, I will be your subordinate! Wu Lin only looked at Shanyu firmly and smiled.

"It's better for you to mobilize before the war! I love to hear from you! Shanyu threw the depleted pistol aside, drew his saber and wiped it.

"Gentlemen! To be born as a warrior is the glory of my generation, and to repay the Lord with my body is today. Although the defeat is decided, I still hope that you will treat death as home, protect the reputation of our generation, and clear the way for the backup army! Long live the General! Goodbye, gentlemen! The only one in the martial arts shouted to the mercenaries on the battlefield.

After Shanyu started to wipe the knife, he didn't say a word again, he just wiped his war knife silently, as if he was wiping his own life. He was a little scared, and he wanted to run away, but the honor of his family and the soldiers around him did not allow him to do so, and he had to fight to the death. He can stay on the ground, and although he may not survive, he can at least delay for more time. However, he remembered what the instructor in the military academy said, Shanyu hoped that he could have the appearance of a soldier, and when he had to die, he hoped that he could die on the way to the charge.

"Blow the trumpet!" The second wave of the Russian attack came, and when the Russian army entered the position about fifty meters, Shanyu gave the order to charge.

"Hurrah, General!" Wu Lin didn't look at Shanyu again, but shouted wildly, and rushed out of the trench first before Shanyu.

"Hooray!" The soldiers threw down their rifles, held aloft the * that symbolized their honor, and followed the footsteps of Shanyu and Wulin.
