Chapter 951: Retreat to the second line of defense
The infantry of the Russian Red Army, in the face of the squadron's infantry artillery and the blockage of mines, cautiously attacked the first line of defense of the squadron's position. In addition to the squadron artillery fire killed and wounded, many were injured by mines, as for the squadron's infantry rifles and machine guns did not return fire, occasionally sharpshooters sniped, causing a lot of psychological impact on the Soviet troops. After two failed attacks during the day, this time the Soviets were more cautious, and it took them half an hour to break into the first line of defense, only to find that the Chinese had abandoned the place.
"Damn the Chinese, we fought for a long time and didn't hit anything." Soviet infantry complained.
It must have been extremely difficult for the Soviet soldiers to attack the Chinese positions, but the soldiers attacked them with great ease, and he did not know whether to use cavalry at this time. The staff officers and officers of the Soviet army who entered the Chinese positions also looked suspicious, what tricks is the enemy doing? The battle line that was held during the day was so light that it was so light that it was given up. Just as they were hesitating, suddenly bullets like a storm came from the front, and the Soviet soldiers standing in China's first defensive position were instantly killed and wounded by Chinese bullets.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
Infantry artillery, mortars, howitzers, field artillery, mountain artillery, exploded among the Soviet soldiers, and the Soviet soldiers who had just been confused again because the Chinese position in Zhanlin was too vast, at this time the squadron shouted killing, and thousands of Soviet soldiers immediately turned around and left, stepping on the Chinese mines and running back. It was only after the fierce return fire of the squadron infantry began that the Soviets realized that they had temporarily abandoned a defensive line in order to consume the bodies and ammunition of the Soviet soldiers and artillery shells, and the Chinese were really cunning.
"Shame, it's just shame!" Blyukher, who was watching from the front, said angrily, "Comrade Posteshev, what about your firing squad, if you don't kill a few deserters, these people will damage the whole battle." ”
"Yes, I'll go now." Second Commissar Postshev drew his pistol and walked out.
"Damn the Chinese, we want to get their defense map." Blyukhel shouted again. It was too difficult to get the Chinese's defense map, and the squadron's defense map in the Kyzyl fortress was completely dug up by the Chinese with a spade and a pickaxe, and not long after it was built, how dare the residents of Kyzylorda City go to see the Chinese's positions, and they all honestly stay at home, or they are directly sent to Almaty by the Wehrmacht and then dispersed to which village and town in the Central Plains, and after three generations in the future, they will become out-and-out Chinese people.
Under the heavy machine gun fire of "Da Da Da ......", the Soviet soldiers who ran backwards were killed in a concentrated manner.
Posteshev's firing squad did not hesitate to shoot at the deserters and shouted that the cowardly Russians were not worthy of being a Red Army, and that all Red Army soldiers must return to the offensive or be shot.
The infamous firing squad was far more deterrent than the Chinese's bullets, and thousands of Soviet troops were once again engaged in the attack. But after they once again rushed through the first line of defense, they did not dare to move forward, and the squadron's bullets came as if they didn't want money. The fire from the bullets in the dark night sprayed like day, and the fire behind them also burned, and the Soviet soldiers neither advanced nor retreated, completely under the guns of the Chinese. Their hesitation was justified, because in the tactics of today's offensive, these infantry were feinting, finding the weak point of the squadron and the cavalry was responsible for breaking through. Therefore, the Soviet infantry either lay on their stomachs in the shallow trenches and occasionally returned fire with bullets, while the Sakhalin infantry, who lacked their own burden, got a lot of bullets today and had nothing to do with the Chinese soldiers.
"What are you doing lying on the ground? This is not your g's! Damn it! Our purpose is to exterminate the Chinese, not to occupy any broken positions on the Manchus. The commander of the 1st Division of the Siberian Infantry, Safonevsky, brandished his pistol and commanded, "Stand up, my boys, attack, go on the offensive!" For the sake of the great Russian nation, fight! He turned back to the herald and said, "Blow the trumpet and continue the attack." ”
As the trumpet sounded, the reluctant Soviet infantry had to get up and continue the attack, but they were once again suppressed by heavy fire from Chinese soldiers on the second line of defense, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and shelled running guns. This bo's shot was even more fierce than the previous one, and the soft ground was immediately stained red with blood, and the infantry cannon blew up four of the standing soldiers.
And because of the proximity, the heavy artillery and fortress artillery of the Chinese did not dare to shell the Soviet soldiers who crossed the first line of defense, they were only looking for Soviet artillery positions. But the Chinese infantry artillery caused great damage to the Soviet troops, and the howls on the battlefield even exceeded the sound of artillery.
"Ah...... My mother, my tuǐ, my tuǐ......"
"God, I shouldn't be a heretic! I confess to you! ”
"Alyosha, Alyosha, why can't I see it, has the war stopped?"
"Mom, Mom, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"
"Comrade commissar, please don't kill me, please don't kill me......"
Some soldiers even went crazy during the shelling, and what is even more tragic is that during the shelling, the Soviet artillery did not know that the infantry in the front was bombarded by their own artillery after crossing the first line of battle because of the unauthorized change of combat orders by the commander of the 1st Siberian Infantry Division, Safunevsky.
In the darkness, they thought that the Chinese soldiers were resisting to the death in the first line of defense, so in order to avoid the reinforcement of the first line of defense by the Chinese soldiers, they extended their fire backwards, and the Soviet soldiers were killed and wounded by their own artillery.
Safonevsky, the brave commander, can be seen from the fact that as a division commander, he actually went to the front line and was only 400 meters away from the Chinese. The commander of the Soviet Red Army, who had only served as a platoon commander before the Civil War, was almost killed by a single shell, and in order to protect him, three guards were killed. Safunevsky was so angry that he ordered the signal soldiers to transmit the signal to the artillery, but in the middle of the night, but also to avoid the attack of the Chinese fortress artillery, the Soviet Russian artillery began to shoot in all directions again, and the signal soldiers finally found some of them, but they could not find others.
Safonevsky could not bear to let his soldiers continue to be killed by his own artillery, and hurriedly asked Commander Blyukhel to send out cavalry. Once the cavalry was on the offensive, the Soviet artillery had only one goal, which was to cross the infantry positions and fire at the Kyzyl fortress, suppressing the fortress artillery and other caliber howitzers on the fortress.
Kolchak suddenly felt that the Chinese had laid a huge yīn scheme, although he did not know what yīn plot was, he wanted to find Blyukhel, but it was difficult to find the commander in the dark.
As the commander-in-chief of the corps, Blyukhel felt the urgency of the situation, and he received orders from the forward commander Safunevsky, because of the darkness of the night, many Soviet soldiers began to attack the second-line positions of the Chinese soldiers, and it was because of the darkness that the Soviet artillery fell on the heads of their own infantry. Blyukhel immediately ordered the 13th Cavalry Division and the 17th Cavalry Division to immediately go into the attack, and ordered the Soviet soldiers in front to pay attention to avoiding the cavalry on their own side.
"Ulla!"
After the howl of the cavalry sounded, the Soviet infantry hurriedly hid and did not let their horse's hooves be trampled to death after their artillery was finished, so the offensive of the Soviet infantry was temporarily stopped.
The galloping night battle also brought great spiritual shock to the Chinese soldiers, some of the recruits hesitated, and some even threw down their guns and were about to run, and were immediately shot to death by the veterans. No desertion or demoralization is allowed on the battlefield, and anyone can eliminate them if they appear. After shooting and killing more than 30 soldiers who were mentally weak and ready to flee, the commander of the 29th Division stabilized the morale of the army, and the division commander Sun Liechen patrolled back and forth.
The rumbling sound of the Soviet army's hooves also startled the corps commander Du Baosan, "Really let me guess." He muttered to himself.
Tong Lin said: "Blyukhel is a cavalry general, he is used to using cavalry to break through outflanking, but it is a little inappropriate to use cavalry to attack the fortress, let's sit back and watch the show." ”
"Don't underestimate it." Du Baosan said, "Call Sun Liechen and ask him if he needs support, so that the Second Reserve Regiment is ready to support at any time." ”
The sound of artillery continued to sound around the forward headquarters, Sun Liechen held the binoculars, and scolded him with a mouth, but he didn't dare to scold with a mouth on the commander's phone, Sun Liechen smiled: "Please rest assured, Lao Maozi hasn't eaten my trick yet, and he will definitely give them a good look." Their cavalry did not break through our front, but on the north and south flanks, and it just so happened that I had set up the north and south flanks. We don't need any other support now, but don't stop the cannons, and the fortress cannons are more accurate, just knock out their cannons. ”
"Okay." Du Bao three ways.
"By the way, military seats, dial a little more white bar for the brothers to refresh themselves."
"I'll send it to you tomorrow morning." Du Baosan smiled, "Accurate." ”
"Yes." Sun Liechen put down the phone and said loudly: "Brothers, the military seat will prepare wine for us, and we will hold it tonight, and when will we celebrate the banquet tomorrow." ”
It took only five minutes for the Soviet cavalry to cross the first line of defense from the attack, while the infantry carefully used an hour, which shows how much psychological trauma the battle brought to the Soviet army during the day.
The cavalry of the Soviet army rode faster and faster, and in the fire of the squadron's artillery fire, they rode their horses and galloped, brandishing cavalry sabers and howling "Ula" and "Ula", and even took out steel wine bottles excitedly, drinking vodka while waving sabers, ready to harvest the squadron's heads. rs!。
