Chapter 893: Battle of the Far East - Anticline

Bozhtu's cavalry group was advancing in high spirits, and reinforcements were opening up the situation one after another, and the 23rd Division, which was the fastest in progress, was already less than ten kilometers from the 15th Height, but the 7th Division had exhausted all its capital. The time limit set by Guoxinga for everyone was three days, but at 2:40 p.m. the next day, the fortress group of the 15th highland main peak of the 7th Division was declared to have fallen, and the once invincible 7th Division had reached the end of the road.

"I couldn't lead everyone to make a contribution, but I led everyone into a desperate situation, Jixing felt deeply guilty, but being able to work with you is also the biggest blessing in Jixing's life! The ridge position of our department has been lost, the last moment has come, Jixing has lost his life without humiliating the country, and he will fight until the last moment to be loyal to the general! "The commanding heights of the fifteenth heights have been lost, Ji Xing has retreated to the last fortress of the back mountain, he has nothing to deploy, just explained his last words to everyone, and encouraged everyone to fight to the end.

"What did the master say? If the war is unfavorable, is it the sin of the master! Now is not the time to accuse ourselves of crimes, let's fight hand in hand and be loyal to the country together! Amba Lingwu smiled calmly, he had just gone to motivate the soldiers on the front line. The soldiers also knew that defeat was assured, but their morale was still high, and they were determined to fight to the death.

"I haven't been to the front line for a few years, and today we have also gone down to live the addiction of murder! Hahaha...... "Nahai and the others are not so frustrated.

"Good! Sour words, Lao Tzu will leave it under the nine springs and tell you, let's still catch some dry! Uncle also left us with one last hand, there is a hidden tunnel defense line on the anticline below the ridge line, and I have ordered the remnants of the first brigade to station. With this anti-cline position, the Russian army will cross the ridge line to pursue us, and it will fall into the flanking attack of the anti-cline position and the rear mountain fortress. It's a pity that this anti-slope position can only be used once, and the second attack of the Russian army will definitely solve it here first. The last battle of our fathers can't be blocked by Lao Maozi, if we want to die, we have to die on the way to the charge. So after discussing with my uncle, we decided that we would not defend this last battle, and as long as Lao Maozi entered the encirclement, we would immediately launch a general attack on them, and strive to completely annihilate the Russian army that broke through and recapture the ridged position. "Ji Xing and Amba Lingwu definitely attacked at the last moment.

"Shall we return to the main position of the ridge line again to fortify? Where has been seriously damaged by the Russian army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to restore the defense! Bi Chengxian and Daoqin feel that it is not meaningful to recapture the ridge line now, the number of Russian troops is too large, the attack is almost uninterrupted, and the Seventh Division has no time to hold on, and it will have to be lost if it is recaptured.

"I can't keep it, I can't keep it! After recapturing the ridgeline, the whole division launched a general attack on the enemy, and when he was dying, he had to pull a cushion and do his best to kill and wound the enemy! "Ji Xing and An Ba Lingwu's decision is not to counterattack, but to fight hard with the whole division.

"Good! The tank regiment has endured it for a long time, and in the end, it can't be suffocated to death, give Lao Maozi a little bit of power! "Bi Chengxian, Daoqin and others all agree very much with the decisive charge, the seventh division is over, don't think about it, even if the tank regiment can't rush out, it can directly take the center of the Russian army, so that they can taste the power of steel.

The 7th Division had decided on the plan, so it was deployed separately and waited for the last moment to come, but the Russian army did not cross the ridge line to attack. It took until the evening before a middle-ranking officer of the Russian army with a white flag came over, and he did not come to invite a decisive battle with a war letter, but to persuade him to surrender. Ji Xing and Amba Lingwu were bored, and they were a little worried that this guy wanted to take the opportunity to observe the situation of the anticline, but they chose to meet this guy in order to delay time. The telegraph of the 7th Division could still receive the information of the other divisions, and knowing that friendly troops were about to rush in, it was natural that a little more delay would give them more hope.

"Your Excellency General, I only greet you on behalf of the commander-in-chief of the Far East of the Russian Empire, Admiral Stoletov, and I extend to you the highest respect!" This lieutenant colonel from the Russian army has a good Chinese and a good appearance.

"Thank you for your greetings, I don't really understand your intentions to come at this time?" Ji Xing is very conflicted now, he really wants to get rid of this guy, and he feels that one more minute of delay is a minute.

"Your two armies have been fighting on this high ground and nearby for nearly ten days, and both sides have paid a heavy price. At present, there are only more than 10,000 remnants of your army, and they are compressed in a narrow area with a radius of less than three kilometers, and the follow-up battle is meaningless. Our army is deeply impressed by the strength of your combat effectiveness and the tenacity of the soldiers' will to fight. However, soldiers do not fight to seek death, and as a commander, they should also think more about the lives of soldiers. In the face of the siege of forty times the enemy's army, your troops have held out for a long time, and have fulfilled the obligations of a soldier, and there is no need to make unnecessary resistance, which will only increase the casualties of the soldiers. The commander-in-chief of our army, Colonel-General Stoletov, I hope you will think about ordering the soldiers to lay down their arms and put an end to this terrible battle. Admiral Stoletov assures in honor of his servicemen that all the people of your army will be treated humanely, and the safety of life and property will be guaranteed. The lieutenant colonel of the Russian army put on a compassionate face, but of course this was not what he really thought.

Although the Russian army captured the ridge line of the 15th height, they paid an extremely heavy price, with the total number of dead approaching 200,000 and the wounded more than 50,000. If the ridge line is crossed, the 15th Heights are fully occupied, and the 7th Division is completely annihilated, the casualty figure of the Russian army will inevitably climb to an even more terrifying height, and at the same time, a lot of time will be wasted. The various units of the outer line of the Manchurian Army have basically completed the counter-encirclement of the Russian army, and the Russian army has no time to delay any longer, they must solve the seventh division as soon as possible, and then immediately retreat and break through. Persuasion is undoubtedly a way to save time and effort, so the smart and clever lieutenant colonel came to Jixing, hoping to solve the problem by lip service.

"Joke, I've ...... since the founding of the Manchurian Empire" Jin Xi laughed angrily, Mo said that the Seventh Division was a glorious army, and there would never be a surrender, even if they were officers, they would never lay down their arms.

"This matter is urgent, and all our senior generals need a meeting. I hope that your army can stop the offensive and wait for our meeting before giving an answer to your army! "If An Bar Lingwu is offside and stops Ji Xing, deception is actually a good way to delay time.

"Your country's art of war is broad and profound, and there are many people in our country who have studied it, and we also understand the tactics of delaying the army." The lieutenant colonel debunked Amba Lingwu's idea.

"At least let's talk about it!" Amba Lingwu is not frustrated, fighting for a minute is a minute.

"Our army will wait until midnight at most!" Stoletov offered a price of waiting until dawn the next day, but the lieutenant colonel found Ambar Lingwu very suspicious, so he privately decided to reduce it to midnight.

"It's too late! We need to gather all the senior officers and explain to the soldiers, it will take a lot of time, will it be tomorrow morning? Seeing that the lieutenant colonel's attitude was not resolute, Amba Lingwu immediately began to bargain.

"Until three o'clock in the morning at most." The lieutenant colonel took a step back, but the stride was not very large.

"Alright! We'll hurry. "Amba Lingwu doesn't force it.

After the lieutenant colonel of the Russian army left, Amba Lingwu and Ji Xing almost opened a bottle of wine to celebrate, and a few words in exchange for nine hours, it was really a good deal. During the nine hours of hope that the Russian high-level was full of hope, the 7th Division did not hold a meeting or study the surrender, but intensively deployed the offensive. At the appointed time, the Seventh Division, not to mention the messengers sent to make contact, did not even release a dog.

"Launch an attack to destroy them and finish off these despicable Orientals!" Stoletov knew that he had been tricked, and the 7th Division did not think about surrendering at all, so as soon as 3 o'clock arrived, he immediately ordered the Russian army to launch a general attack.

30,000 Russian troops crossed the ridge line and launched an attack on the last fortress of the 7th Division in the back hills. The dim sky made the Russian army's vision poor, and they did not realize at all that there was still a Manchurian defense line in the place where they walked. The Russian troops who came from the back mountain also launched an attack at the same time, and they will cooperate with the Russian army at the commanding heights, and flank the remnants of the 7th Division in front and rear. However, the Russian army became more and more distracted, they encountered traps and land, and they were also blocked by a small force of the Manchurian army, but they did not encounter any large-scale resistance at all, all of which shows that the Manchurians still have some tricks.

When the Russian army in the back mountains was worried, the Russian army that crossed the ridge line to attack the main attack had already suffered a devastating blow. The remnants of the 7th Division, who were supposed to hold the fortress to the end, actually abandoned the fortress and launched a counterattack against them. The tank, an invulnerable steel monster, smashed the Russian army's offensive in an instant, and the dense firepower made the Russian army feel that it was the one who was at the end of the road. The officers of the Russian army were still thinking of laying a defensive line and taking advantage of the mountainous terrain to resist the final impact of the 7th Division, but bullets were also fired from behind, and they were inexplicably surrounded.

By the time it was light, most of the 30,000 Russian troops had been annihilated, and only 4,000 lucky ones fled back to the ridge line under the cover of night. But they didn't get a respite, and the remnants of the 7th Division went crazy, and they rushed up to the ridge line in one fell swoop, knocking the disorganized Russian army from the commanding heights. The Russian army, which had always had low morale, was broken up by the rout, turned into a large-scale rout, and fled all the way to the base camp at the foot of the mountain.

"A few days' work is ruined, these damn wastes, immediately organize a counterattack and take back the commanding heights of the ridgeline!" Stolletov, who was watching the battle in the base camp, was furious.

However, the 7th Division, which reoccupied the commanding heights, did not hold on like normal people, they rushed down, followed the Russian army's rout, and rushed straight to the base camp of the Russian army.
