Volume 3 Miracles Through the Ages Chapter 468 The Battle of Borja

The 11th Cavalry Division, the forward unit of the First Army of the Chinese Intervention Army, was the first to go abroad, and in the process of going north along the former Russian Far Eastern Railway, it did not encounter much resistance when passing through the plains and snow, and occasionally a few unscrupulous Russian hunters appeared, and were all executed by the Chinese as spies. However, when the troops reached the Borja River in Siberia, Russia, they were strongly blocked by the Russian guerrillas in the Far East.

Due to the early arrival of spring this year, March has the warmth of May, which is also the reason for the big fight between Soviet Russia and Tsarist Russia, and it is also the reason for Wang Maoru to lead the army in advance, otherwise in the cold weather of Siberia minus 60 degrees, any battle is suicide.

And after the warmth, many rivers began to melt, including the 468th chapter of the wide volume of three thousand ancient miracles Borja blocked the wide Borja River, and at the same time, because of the melting of ice and snow, the water of the Borja River skyrocketed, and there were a few cracks from time to time, if someone really crossed the river, they would be worried, not to mention the oxen and horse carts. And if the army crosses the river, it can basically only lead to the destruction of the whole army.

A few scouts who ventured to the Borja River from other places ended up falling into the river and freezing to death because the water was frozen and cracked.

It seems that the only way to capture the town of Borja is to capture it, as the water flow of the Borja town crossing is gentle and narrow, and it is crucial to capture it. The town of Borja has a small population, with only more than 2,000 Russian residents, including Russians, Mongolians, Chinese, and Koreans, and it is a very peaceful town.

However, the Soviet Russian guerrillas mobilized about 3,000 Soviet and Russian guerrillas from all over Siberia to block the attack, intending to annihilate the squadron here. And let the Chinese see how powerful the Russians are. Of course, there were not many real Bolsheviks among the 3,000 men, most of them were hunters and patriots recruited by the Soviet cell. The entry of the intervention armies of various countries has set off a wave of patriotic frenzy in the land of Russia, it can be said that Tsarist Russia also intervened in the defeat of the army, and the intervention army helped Nicholas II in the 468th chapter of the Borja blockade, but because of the intervention army, the Russians were more united under the banner of Soviet Russia.

The Russian guerrillas dug up positions in the town next to the Borja River, and in order to pass the Borja River behind Guò, they had to cross the town of Borja (later the city of Borja) and enter the crossing. Some of the townspeople also joined the partisans, and it can be said that almost all of Borja were filled with Russian fighters. And one after another, Russians from other villages came to support.

The only advantage for the Chinese intervention was that the Russians gave up their expertise in guerrilla warfare and instead used cities for defense. Prepare for a battle with the Chinese on the city.

Three thousand partisan fighters were already a huge force in the Far East, and perhaps the Russians considered the squadron to be vulnerable, despite the Russians' lack of weapons and ammunition. But they do not lack the will to fight.

After entering Russia, the 1st Regiment of the 9th Division of the Beiyang Army, which had entered Vladivostok in advance, had good military discipline, never disturbed the people, and never fought head-on with the Soviet Russian guerrillas, but the Russians mistakenly thought that Wang Maoru's army would do the same. The guerrillas encountered the Third Army several times, the Chinese shot at the sky, and the Russians understood what was going on, so the Chinese often occupied such and such a village and a certain town at the cost of zero casualties, while the Russian partisans had plenty of time to organize their troops and swagger out of the area to the Chinese intervention army. Therefore, in the Far East, the Chinese actually had the most brilliant results, and the Japanese warring states were the worst. The Americans had the least gains...... After all, the Americans sent only one regiment to Vladivostok.

In this regard, the Russian partisans believed that the squadron did not want to really fight, that they were only here to take advantage, or that they were forced to enter Russia at the invitation of a foreign country.

Therefore, several commanders of the Russian Far Eastern partisans gathered more than a dozen guerrilla units to block the ** squadron in the town of Borja in a vain attempt to block the ** squadron for more than six months. If the squadron stays for more than six months again, it will already be September when it arrives at the front line, and Russia is about to enter a harsh winter, and the Russian cold will kill the squadron. Therefore, these 3,000 guerrillas can accomplish the great feat, that is, 3,000 people to destroy the 170,000 people of the squadron.

The ideal is plump. The reality is skinny, the airship observation force in the sky has long discovered the anomaly in Borja Town, and immediately reported it to the 11th Cavalry Division, the division commander Long Qing sneered: "It seems that the Russians want to ambush us, you have to give him some color to see." ”

Subsequently, Long Qing ordered the soldiers of the cavalry division to outflank from both flanks and behold the town of Borja. In this way, the guerrillas in the town of Borja were left with their backs to the Borja River, and they had no way to retreat, and they were completely surrounded by the Chinese intervention army.

When the outflanking troops were in place, Long Qing put down the binoculars and commanded his machine gun battalion and said: "Hit me hard, don't be afraid of no supplies, and save when you really go to the hinterland of Russia." ”

Although the machine gun battalion of the 11th Cavalry Division only had 10 Japanese Krupp 75 field guns, it had 20 50 infantry guns, a total of 30 small-caliber guns, and began to bombard the town of Borja indiscriminately.

The Soviet and Russian sides did not expect that their ambush in the snow was discovered by the enemy from the sky, and they were also taken by surprise, and ten minutes later it was found that the Chinese shelling did not seem to stop.

Shells fell on the town of Borja, houses collapsed, the town was in mourning, and residents who thought they were safe and sound cried. This further fueled the hatred of the Soviet Russian partisans, who had never encountered such a situation before, and never expected that the squadron would actually do something to them. The Chinese dared to act against the great Russian nation, they were simply crazy, so the partisans quickly entered the position under artillery fire.

After the shelling, Long Qing ordered the 88th Cavalry Regiment and the 89th Cavalry Regiment to start charging.

More than 4,000 cavalry of the two cavalry regiments got on their horses, and began to charge with guns, covered by mortars in the back, and the Russian Mosinagan rifles had a longer range than the E1 type of the squadron, and there were many hunters in the guerrillas, which made the losses of the squadron very huge. After losing more than 300 people, the 88th and 89th regiments had to be withdrawn, and the Russians were too accurate in their marksmanship.

Xiong Bingtao said: "This old Maozi's guerrillas are really violent, no wonder Little Japan was beaten badly last year, they have too many sharpshooters." ”

On average, one out of every three Russian partisans is a hunter, with extremely accurate marksmanship and a backdrop to their homeland, the Russians are very warlike. When fighting against Wang Maoru's troops, the outstanding marksmanship and the huge power of the Nakhimogan rifle often made it difficult for the squadron to parry.

"Artillery, keep bombing." Long Qing said a little depressed.

The cavalry unit does not have any heavy artillery, although the 75 caliber field artillery is already heavy artillery in the civil war, but in fact, in the European war, this caliber field artillery is nothing at all, it can only be said that the combat readiness level of the squadron is far inferior to the European battlefield, and the Russian partisans at this time are even inferior to the squadron.

Then Long Qing once again ordered to charge, and the Russian guerrillas, who thought they had been killed by the bombing, came out of nowhere, and continued to stubbornly resist, and even a wounded and blind Russian soldier opened fire with a gun and listened to the sound, killing three Chinese soldiers. Long Qing was ruthless and personally pulled the war horse and said, "Children, kill the enemy with grandpa!" "A lieutenant general and division commander personally stepped forward to charge, he was really in a hurry, and the personnel of the headquarters hurriedly stopped him, how could a division commander come forward. Shi Qingshan, the commander of the 88th Regiment, issued a military order: "Division commander, let me rush again, rush again, if I can't beat the position, I am willing to be punished." ”

Xiong Bingtao, chief of staff of the division, dissuaded: "It's getting dark, let's fight again tomorrow, let's fight again tomorrow." "Long Qing considered going abroad to fight and the weather was cold, so he ordered the attack to be stopped, prepared to guard against the enemy's sneak attack, and then ordered the whole cavalry division to rest.

And the Soviet Russian guerrillas also secretly regretted at this time, a day's work, the 3,000 guerrillas died nearly a thousand, and more than 500 were injured, I didn't expect the Chinese to come to the real thing, and I didn't expect that the Chinese had so many artillery. That night, there were also disputes among the Soviet and Russian guerrillas, and some guerrilla commanders wanted to abandon their positions, and the guerrillas fighting this kind of blocking war was a kind of attrition, and it was obvious that the other side was cavalry, and if it were not for the guerrillas' extremely accurate marksmanship and great damage to the Chinese cavalry during the day, they would have been stormed into the town long ago. While the other part of the people disagreed, they believed that the main force of the squadron would have no results for a day, and they would be afraid of stagnation and resolutely stay to fight and block. The two sides quarreled endlessly, and finally Kolinrovsky, director of the Soviet Russian Far East Suppression Committee, made a decision to mobilize the masses and resolutely block the enemy here, the squadron is not terrible, the strongest combat effectiveness of the squadron has been tried, and their next attack will definitely not be as fierce as the first day.

That night, Chief of Staff Xiong Bingtao found Long Qing, he did not tell Long Qing during the day because he was concerned about face, but at night he found Long Qingjian and said: "It is not possible for the cavalry to go up like refueling, and if you want to launch an attack, you must launch an all-round launch, and you must not rush up one regiment at a time, the loss is too great." As you can see, the Russians are very accurate in marksmanship, and if you continue like this tomorrow, our cavalry will have to be killed by them like targets. ”

Long Qing hurriedly apologized, and repented, saying that he had indeed made a big mistake during the day.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, the Chinese 11th Cavalry Division continued its shelling after making preparations.

Soon after the bombardment, the heavy machine guns immediately began to strafe and suppress the enemy's fire, and Long Qingfa ruthlessly ordered the 31st Cavalry Brigade under the 11th Cavalry Division to attack, and the brigade commander Zhang Mingjiu led the 91st, 92nd, and 92nd regiments to charge from the north, while the 30th Cavalry Brigade launched an all-out attack in both the front and west directions. rs!!!
