There are many things in the world that are so wonderful, when the war began, the Russians also wanted to take advantage of the civil strife to cross the Yalu River and turn the northeast into yellow Russia, but after a few months of competition, except for Inner Mongolia, Russia still maintained the offensive, whether it was at sea or on land, the Russian ** team was on the defensive! And what is even more embarrassing to the Russians is that the Russian ** team concentrated on the front line of Heilongjiang is now only more than 20,000! Among them, more than 8,000 people are also used to guard Hailan Bubble, and there are less than 10,000 people defending the long river of thousands of kilometers! In the face of such a porous line of defense, Beiyang was not polite, and chose the most face-slapping and at the same time the most efficient way to cross the river - crossing the river during the day!

It is said that Russia also has some river defense gunboats, so how can they be indifferent to the operation in the Beiyang? This is really wronged by the Russians, who have some river gunboats, but because the war is tight, the situation on the mainland is relatively calm. So some of the gunboats were unloaded and used to support the Japanese theater of operations. The remaining river defense gunboats were used to blockade the direction of Hailan Pao. In addition, Heilongjiang is indeed too long...... It's also normal to have large white spaces. In this way, when the attack group on the northern front attacked, the Russians did not find out in the first place! …。

When Peng Yi stepped on the land on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Ten years ago, I was just a businessman in Nanyang. In the eyes of the Dutch, he and his compatriots were mere economic animals. Under the exploitation of the Dutch, under the greedy gaze of the natives, they survived. If you can't be hardworking, you won't be respected, and you can't even guarantee a normal life. But now, he and his compatriots not only enjoyed their rightful rights in the Dutch East Indies, but also re-established themselves on the soil of their homeland and participated in a great process of national rejuvenation.

Considering that the Russian ** team along the Heilongjiang River really has no difficult goals. Therefore, Peng Yi's troops were mainly lightly armed, with a certain amount of cavalry. ARMED WITH 75MM RAPID-FIRE GUNS AND HEAVY MORTARS. At the same time, a small number of cannons were used to suppress the enemy's artillery, while the division's 6-inch heavy guns and the 8-inch siege guns belonging to the battle group were temporarily left on the south bank to blockade the river, although the troops crossed the river without being intercepted. But for the sake of the past, Beiyang still needs to leave some heavy firepower to block the river.

That's it. When Beiyang smoothly sent the troops of 3 regiments, the Russian army in Svobod, which was more than 100 kilometers away, finally reacted, and the Northeast Armed Guards actually attacked! Thus, the first field encounter between the Beiyang and the Russian Army after the start of the war began! …。

In the real encounter, the Beiyang army was busy crossing the river and did not build systematic fortifications. And the Russian troops ran for hundreds of miles in a panic, not to mention preparing. A lot of supplies and baggage are still left behind! There are no tricks. The two forces collided like this! THE VANGUARD OF A REGIMENT OF THE BEIYANG ARMY AND A REGIMENT OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY MET AT A DISTANCE OF 15 KM FROM THE CROSSING POINT.

If someone can stand on a high place and look down on the entire battlefield. You can see that two torrents are rapidly approaching, one is the Russian army in gray military uniform, and the other is the Northeast Armed Guard Army in green military uniform. The two armies did not know each other's situation, they could only know through the trembling earth and telescopes that the other party was coming, and there were many people coming!

In the face of the upcoming encounter, the choices of the two sides were very different, the Beiyang Armed Guards first stopped advancing, and the vanguard battalion immediately deployed the defensive line on the spot. Although it is impossible to build a complete bunker in a hurry. However, the vast majority of soldiers still used the limited time to dig out shallow or deep individual bunkers. The sapper brethren helped the machine-gun and mortar crews to build makeshift machine-gun bunkers and gun nests. The two sides only have more than half an hour at most, but even so, the heavy fire team on the front line can still build a proposed semi-buried bunker. Of course, this semi-buried bunker is not covered. But it's enough for the brothers of the machine gun crew to hide. …………。

While the vanguard battalion was preparing to defend itself against the enemy, the two following battalions began to make a detour to the sides. Establish positions on both flanks, on the one hand, to prevent the opponent from outflanking. On the other hand, you can suppress the opponent's offensive from the flank. Because of the rear enemy, the troops on both sides of the North Ocean had more time to establish positions. However, in general, the Beiyang Army still tends to defend and counterattack, although it is relatively conservative but absolutely practical, in the face of enemy troops with machine guns and artillery, it is absolutely not advisable to rush into the charge.

Comparatively, the Russian Army was more offensive. However, this attack is more reckless. In other words, the Russian Army's thinking is still at the level of suppressing the opponent with artillery, and then using a sea of people to break down the opponent's defense line. If both sides used rifles and anti-artillery guns. Preemptively attacking in such a hasty encounter can do wonders, but with the proliferation of super-deliverable weapons such as machine guns and rapid-fire guns...... The crowd charge is already quite outdated! Although the Russians also knew the importance of fire support, but in a hurry. You really can't expect low-quality Russian soldiers to fully adjust their weapons!

"Weapons are the first life of a warrior, and in battle, apart from yourself and your comrades, the only thing you can trust is the weapon in your hand!" This is the first sentence that all Beiyang soldiers heard in the first weapons maintenance class, with more and more technical equipment installed, how to debug the weapons in their hands in a short period of time and put them into battle as soon as possible has become the key ......... to determine the outcome of the battle.

A machine gun is not like the later TV series directly put on the tripod and then put on the strong body can kill the Quartet, in order to better play the power of the weapon in hand, Beiyang has a very strict set of procedures for the machine gun frame. First, after arranging the tripod, machine gun, cooling water and ammunition in place, the shooter determines whether the tension of the recoiling spring is appropriate. The cooling jacket is then filled with cooling water. Open the upper part of the machine gun receiver to check whether the internal operation is smooth, and after confirming that it is correct, add the cartridge belt twist crank to load the bullet. Finally, adjust the ruler and aim baseline. At this point, it is only necessary to complete the preparation work before firing the machine gun, and then the shooter needs to test fire according to the commander's order to confirm the correct performance of the machine gun before entering the battle.

If such a complex work is not carried out without the participation of a high-quality and skilled machine gun crew, the machine gun will not be able to give full play to its own power, and the vast majority of the machine gun crew of the Russian Army will definitely not be called excellent. These serf-based soldiers barely assembled the Maxine machine gun in their hands under the whip and scolding of the officer, and they were forced to start shooting under the coercion of the commander at all without having time to debug, and at the same time they would not debug, coupled with the problems of daily maintenance, the wear and tear of the ruler and the uncorrected aiming baseline were enough to have a fatal impact on the accuracy of the machine gun! Bullets like locusts shoot from the muzzle of the gun, but no one knows where they can hit the ground. Nothing but momentum! What's even more unfortunate is that because of routine maintenance problems, these delicate weapons have problems of one kind or another after a long period of firing. It is not uncommon for a firing to be dull after less than ten minutes of shooting! …。

If it is said that the use and maintenance of weapons determine the strength of a force's hardware. Then in the tactical arrangement, the soft power of a unit is highlighted! The Beiyang Army did not have to stay in a well-defended trench system to fight. Unlike the previous linear fronts, which overemphasized firepower, the Beiyang defense line placed more emphasis on depth and mutual cover. All teams are deployed with automatic firearms as the core. Mutually supportive firing points were formed, while light mortars were located at the rear of the positions to provide fire support. As for the grenadier group, it was given the right to move freely and was specially used to attack high-value targets such as the opponent's machine gun crew. …。

Although the Russians have paid attention to the coordination between fire support and infantry, they are still much rougher than those in the Beiyang. The infantry charge is still a dense charge. (Don't laugh, France was still using intensive charge tactics at the beginning of World War 1, not to mention the current Russian Army!) Although the Russians also knew how to use light artillery, machine guns, and mortars to support the infantry in advance, this support was disorganized, and the advance of the heavy weapons squad was more chaotic, and often when the infantry needed support, the heavy weapons group was still erected, or simply in motion. And when the support team was ready to support, they found that the fire point that was still spewing deadly tongues of fire just now had died down or simply shifted ..........

That's it...... Two forces with a huge gap in hardware and software engaged in their first encounter on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River. When the Russian infantry launched an attack on the Beiyang position in a company with the Mosinagan rifle in their hands, they were first greeted by long burst fire from heavy machine guns and sporadic mortar shelling, the effect of which was not to inflict much damage on the opponent, but to disrupt the opponent's attack rhythm, delay the opponent's impact speed, and at the same time attract Russian support firepower.

It has to be said that after a long engagement with the Japanese Army. The Russians have learned a little, at least knowing how to have two wings on either side of the main force, and how to make the flank troops attack in a roundabout way. However, obviously, the experience gained from the Japanese is really limited for the Beiyang Army, and the two flank positions of the Beiyang slightly forward will be blocked by the Russian troops who have been outflanked from both sides, so the problem facing the Russian army now is that if the main force continues to assault, without the response of the two wing troops, then it will be hit hard by the opponent's side fire. Side-firing machine guns can be far more lethal than frontal machine guns, especially for this one-charge column attack formation.

The Russian commander, who found that the situation was not good, quickly ordered the suspension of the attack, and it was undoubtedly a death penalty to launch a charge against a position that had been defended and had strong fire support, so after some discussion with the officers, the Russians decided to change the original battle plan and abandon the frontal charge! …。
