Chapter 1111: The End of Maozi
Countless Russian troops rushed out of the camp desperately crying, but in order to prevent the Tatars from sneaking up at night, the Russian army operated the camp as solid as gold, and did not think of escaping when it was repaired, so the panicked Russian army only moved a small gap in a hurry.
And there are too many people who want to escape, so that a large number of Russian troops are piled up in one gap after another, in order to escape from the camp, they have completely lost their minds, fighting and scolding each other, many people were pushed to the ground, trampled under countless people.
Some Cossacks simply whipped their crazy horses, rushed to the crowd, and brandished their sabers and kept slashing at the Russian troops blocking the front, and the scene was very chaotic.
From time to time, an artillery shell fell on the gap, and the Russian troops crowded here were instantly torn to pieces by the violent explosion. But before the smoke of gunfire dissipated, a large number of Russian troops rushed up, and the gap became crowded again.
The Russian troops who broke out of the gap ran desperately into the distance, they roared loudly with excitement, glad that they had finally escaped from the hell. But they had just run out a short distance when they saw a muffled noise in the distance.
"Bang...... Bang ......"
As the flares slowly fell, the area around the originally dark camp instantly became like daylight.
"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"
The Far Eastern Army's four-wheeled carriages arranged on the periphery of the Russian army's camp also opened fire one after another, and countless hot bullets spilled out, beating the Russian troops who fled from the camp in panic.
Some Cossack cavalrymen tried to rush out of the rain of machine guns with the speed of their horses, but in the face of the crossfire of the Far Eastern Army, they were beaten into a sieve and fell off their horses.
The artillery preparations of the Far Eastern Army have been going on for more than forty minutes, but the artillery fire still has no intention of stopping. Each artillery position of the Far Eastern Army around the Russian camp had an artillery command group on an airship. The condescending and precise command and the outrageous effect of the artillery bombardment are outrageous.
The airship that carried out the bombing mission in the air, even if it ran out of ammunition, still did not leave this airspace, but lowered down and used the twin water-cooled heavy machine guns behind the pod to continuously strafe the Russian troops on the ground.
At this time, the camp of the Russian army has been bombed beyond recognition. It's a mess everywhere. The camp was littered with layers of corpses and severed limbs. The Russian troops who rushed out of the camp were also miserable, and were beaten all over the field by the Far Eastern Army surrounded outside.
The carriages in the camp were crowded with panicked Russian troops, and they were huddled together, and the timid people could not control their loud cries.
Ostorov also held his head in his hands at this time, curled up under a carriage. Looking at the Russian troops in the camp who were constantly torn apart by artillery fire and constantly crumbled into the air, his heart was full of horror and fear.
But what he couldn't figure out was when the Tatars had such powerful firearms. Since the Tatars have such powerful artillery, why didn't the Tatars come up with it last year against them.
Don't...... Come to think of it. Ostov's heart suddenly plucked cold, if that was the case, then Russia would be in danger. Their expeditionary force was formed by the Russian Tsar and many big nobles, big merchants, and landlords from all over the country.
Moreover, in order for the expeditionary force to be able to recover Siberia, the expeditionary force almost all of the experienced veterans and the most senior officers in Russia were transferred.
If the 30,000 regular troops of the expeditionary force are all thrown here, then the backbone of the new army that the Russian army has cultivated over the years will be completely killed and wounded. And those tens of thousands of Cossacks. They were also the toughest and most courageous cavalry in Russia, and there were no such strong Cossacks. The Russian steppes of South Russia should be lively.
Now Russia's neighboring countries, such as the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Crimean Khanate, will certainly not give up this opportunity to encroach on Russian territory, and if the Tatars in the south go north again to plunder, Russia can only watch the Tatars' iron horses wreak havoc in the southern Russian steppes and be powerless.
But this is nothing, this Tatar group east of the Ural Mountains is Russia's worst enemy. But the Tatar horses may have had such powerful artillery.
Finally. The artillery fire of the Far Eastern Army gradually stopped, but the huge camp of the Russian army has been bombed to pieces, as if the end of the world.
Maozi, who had been lucky enough to escape the heavy artillery fire from the Far East in the camp, were all curled up in the corners with their heads in their hands. When the cannonade stopped. Because they were all deaf in both ears, they didn't react immediately, and their eyes were still glazed, like a walking corpse. There are also weak-willed people who scream and cry loudly, and some have even become incontinent.
"Tick tock...... Didi...... Tick Tick ...... Tick ......"
A hurried charge sounded, and the assault units of the Siberian Corps formed a straggler formation and walked slowly towards the camp of the Russian army.
As the non-commissioned officer of the platoon, according to the tradition of the grassroots units of the Far Eastern Army, Hikten walked in front of the officers and men of the platoon with a revolver in his left hand and a saber in his right hand, and the officers and men behind him followed him closely with double-barreled shotguns in both hands.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the Russian army camp in the distance was still filled with thick gunsmoke. Terrible cries and hoarse screams could be faintly heard.
When the various assault units were more than 100 meters away from the Russian camp, the mortars of the artillery positions of the Far Eastern Army fired flares one after another, and as small parachutes slowly fell, they also illuminated the Russian camp.
But the situation in the camp shocked the officers and soldiers of the Far East very much, and it was really miserable.
The huge Russian camp was full of corpses, and the camp was even more like an apocalyptic scene, with tents and carriages being blown to pieces, and the corpses of Russian officers and soldiers and war horses everywhere.
Blood, smoke, flames, and layers of corpses and severed limbs intertwined,
The whole camp seemed to be turned over, and the artillery units of the Far Eastern Army had prepared for an hour of fire for the first time, and many of the barrels of the guns were destroyed, but the heavy shelling also caused the current appearance.
Hikten stepped on a corpse and walked into the camp of the Russian army, and saw a Russian covered in blood, staggering to his feet, looking at them with blank eyes.
A squad leader behind him shouted in Russian, which he had learned improvised before the war, "Get down...... ...... with his head in his hands"
But the Russian still stared at them as if he hadn't heard.
With a "bang ......", the squad leader who shouted immediately pulled the trigger, and a shotgun instantly beat the hair into a sieve, and the person was also beaten upside down and flew out, never getting up again. (To be continued.) )
