The artillery of the Russians did not last long, was discovered by the artillery group of the Chinese and was immediately suppressed. The high-quality update Soviet army ran group had to quickly transfer, and then the field artillery group of the Chinese Yellow Dragon Army continued to carry out blocking bombardment on the attacking Russian ** team.

Shells carried gunpowder smoke in the air, the smell of gunpowder spread on the battlefield, and from 8 a.m. to about 12 p.m., the Russians fought non-stop battles. But the effect was minimal, not even a single bunker was destroyed, but their artillery group suffered great losses.

The war seemed to happen in an instant, and everyone felt that the time of this battle was very fast, and at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the Soviet army found that this wave of advance had lasted for four hours. The artillery of the Soviet army has already hit the barrel red, and the supplementary shells will take an hour to arrive, the artillerymen did not expect that the Chinese would be so tenacious, and after four hours of shelling, the Chinese positions seemed to feel nothing - of course, this was related to the inability of the Soviet troops to concentrate artillery for attack, and the Chinese fortress artillery played a great role in strategic deterrence here, and the Soviet troops did not dare to concentrate the use of artillery.

The Soviet attack in the morning had little effect, and then, when the artillery shells were underestimated, Kolchak stopped the attack, and Blyukhel also ordered a retreat to rest.

The Russians did not capture a single position, but they paid the cost of 8,000 soldiers killed in vain. Four of the Sakhalin infantry divisions suffered more than 6,000 casualties, including 2,000 wounded and 4,000 killed, as they attacked the main positions of the Chinese defenders.

And what is surprising are the casualties of the 5th Infantry Division and the 27th Infantry Division of the Russian Red Army, which attacked on the flank, and they also threw 4,000 corpses on the position. But they were only responding troops. Although the Russian Red Army was braver, the Tsarist soldiers were more sophisticated, and they were the most destructive group of Chinese soldiers.

In front of the Kizil fortress where corpses are strewn all over the field. The corpses of the Soviet soldiers were scattered in a strange way, a third of them were shelled, and a third were killed by machine guns in makeshift pillboxes. The main targets of the high-quality updated Soviet artillery are these temporary pillboxes, but the temporary pillboxes are relatively strong and are located 20 meters behind the front-line position, which makes it difficult for Soviet soldiers to approach, and can only put the artillery in the rear to be responsible for destroying. However, under the threat of Chinese fortress artillery, the effect was not obvious.

In addition to the blocking of the attack on the ground, the Chinese road air bombers in the sky caused great trouble for the Soviet army, and these bombers learned smartly. Seventy-two bombers did not arrive together as they did yesterday, dropping all the bombs and leaving.

Today, Chinese planes were divided into six teams, one of twelve bombers, and they continuously bombed the Russian Red Army. From the morning, it was as if Chinese planes were circling in the sky. Bombs have been dropped all the time. This was extremely detrimental to the artillery of the Soviet troops.

The machine guns of the Suzaku fighter and the Kirin 2 fighter are UC8 air-cooled 12.7mm caliber heavy machine guns, and the development of the Chinese ** industry is that it has always been able to produce its own absolutely its own production, and if it cannot be produced, it will copycat the production of others, which is also the reason why foreigners do not like to deal with the Chinese very much, because the Chinese will soon abandon their partners. However, it is precisely because of continuous self-reliance that China's heavy industry has the strength to be supported to move forward, so as to stimulate domestic demand and enable more people to have employment opportunities. And the Chinese fighters also dive down from a high place from time to time to shoot and then pull up the direction. Brought up a puddle of bloody mud and wild sand, leaving the stumps and severed arms of Soviet soldiers in one place.

Although the Chinese fighter is not a suitable dive bomber. However, the repeated baptism of the Soviet army by Chinese planes, which grasped the superiority in the sky, really made the Soviet army, especially General Blyukher, understand a truth: war can be launched from the sky, and bullets can be fired from the sky.

Kolchak blushed, not knowing what he was thinking. Kolchak, dressed in a blue aristocratic uniform, sat in the midst of a group of Bolshevik generals in yellow uniforms, looking a little unusual, special, and a little out of place. High-quality updates are just as the generals of Soviet Russia roared one by one, cursing and cursing the Chinese. Most of the officers in Soviet Russia were born poor, and many of them were uneducated soldiers who had been promoted after years of fighting, so in the Soviet command did not expect everyone to be able to say any elegant words, and the greeting words of various female sexual organs continued to come out of their mouths as if it was normal.

"Be sure to destroy their artillery first." Blyukhel shouted from the command.

Sollinsky laughed and said: "Comrade commander, do you know how many fortress guns the enemy fired in one morning? ”

"How much?"

Sollinsky said lightly: "They fired two hundred and twenty rounds in the morning, and according to our intelligence, they only had two thousand fortress guns. It can be said that in the morning, they consumed more than a tenth of the shells of the fortress artillery. ”

"Yesterday they also consumed almost a hundred rounds." Postshev added.

"And their planes, what a nuisance." Staff Officer Kolinyakov said, "In the morning it was as if their planes had never stopped bombing us. Although the bombing effect of the aircraft was not good, it had a very severe impact on the morale of our army, especially during the period of the Bukharin regiment. Part of the soldiers of the Sakhalin regiment did not want to attack, they jumped into the running pit and lazied. ”

Kolchak smiled wryly in embarrassment, and then he said: "We can't continue to attack like this in the afternoon. I saw the firepower of the Chinese, they were armed with a large number of heavy machine guns, and from my experience with the squadrons, it seems that their equipment has changed dramatically. If we continue to charge like this, we will only die in vain - the only thing that can be done is to consume the enemy's bullets and shells. I stopped the attack for the time being, waiting for it to get dark and the enemy's heavy artillery could not aim at our troops. ”

Blyukher nodded in agreement and ordered the army to stop the attack, and the soldiers of the Soviet 5th Infantry Division, the 27th Infantry Division and the four divisions of the Sakhalin Regiment threw down nearly 10,000 corpses and retreated in despair, watching in grief as the bodies of their comrades were lying on the ground in rows as if they had been slaughtered. What's the matter, the flood of attacks that gave confidence to the Russian Red Army is difficult to work?

When Kolchak left the headquarters and went down to visit the Sasarin regiment after leaving the headquarters, Postshev said: "I will attack the enemy at four o'clock in the afternoon, while they are having dinner. ”

"But Comrade Political Commissar, it was not yet dark in Central Asia at four o'clock, and the casualties were too great for us. Next I'm going to count the casualties, the damned Chinese are too powerful. Sollinsky said with a bitter face.

Blyukhel nodded, but Bosshev immediately objected: "No, the 5th and 6th Sakhalin divisions will arrive in the afternoon. Our troops are stronger, and they should be used to continue harassing the Chinese. ”

"The morning's fighting has proven that the casualties of such a charge are too great in the absence of artillery support." Sollinsky reminded.

"But it is not our Bolshevik comrades who have died, but the White Guards, and if we bring them back to Moscow, they will be unstable bombs," said Postshev without mercy. ”

"No, they are first and foremost Russians." Sollinsky said immediately.

"Are you interceding for them?"

Blyukhel looked at the stubborn second commissar Pastshev, and then at his chief of staff, Sollinsky, shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "You don't need to argue, I think General Kolchak will decide." Andrey, you go and ask General Kolchak, what about the casualties of his Sakhalin corps? ”

"Yes, Comrade Commander." Staff Officer Kolinyakov immediately said.

Immediately after the cessation of fighting, the Soviets sent a medical team of more than 100 male nurses into the battlefield with white flags, hoping to take the wounded away. But after inspecting his wounded, Sun Liechen, the commander of the 29th Division of the front defense commander of the fortress, who had suffered losses, said with red eyes: ", blow them up for me, save his grandmother's leg!" If you have a damn, let their wounded call on the battlefield, and no one will be allowed to save them. ”

"Master, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the rules to do this." Zou Fen, chief of staff of the 29th Division, hurriedly said, "I'm afraid that we will continue to kill each other in the future." ”

"Do you know the temper of the Russians?" Sun Liechen sneered, "In the Russo-Japanese War, when Yu Shuai and Feng Delin and I worked hard for the Japanese and Russians, do you know what the Russians did when they captured Japanese prisoners? Bury alive! As long as it is an enemy of the Russians, don't fall into their hands in the future, as long as it falls into their hands, you will die. So, don't reason with them, talk about benevolence and righteousness, talk about international law, and beat them up before they reason with you. Tell the soldiers, don't die in the hands of the Russians, they don't treat prisoners as human beings. ”

After the Soviet medical team was dispersed by the Chinese infantry artillery, it caused great dissatisfaction among the Soviet soldiers, and the Soviet political propagandists took the opportunity to publicize the brutality of the Chinese in the army and provoke the Soviet soldiers' will to fight.

The Chinese took the opportunity to eat and drink, treat the wounded, and carry away the corpses, and the soldiers could finally rest for a while, but they also knew that this rest would not last long. In the rear, the Chinese artillerymen reoriented and shifted positions to prevent concentrated destruction by Soviet troops.

The battlefield calmed down briefly, mixed with the mushy smell of the dead man's flesh roasted by the scorching heat of the shells, wafting into the air, and the shells of the shells were discarded on the ground at will, and the Chinese soldiers began to sort out the battlefield records while eating steamed buns, waiting for the next wave of battles.

"Seven days, seven days." The propagandist of the squadron said loudly at this time, the soldiers also have a hope, they only need to hold on for seven days, and they can counter-encircle the Soviet army after holding on for seven days.
