If Makanov needed to use his death to bear the blame for Essen and others, Kuropatkin, an old nobleman, did not, and even he could decide whether the entire fortress group would surrender without the Tsar's permission. One of his aides could describe the predicament of his troops in the most accurate and even exaggerated terms, and write reports that seemed to others to have absolutely no second way but surrender. Of course, this is also the case, and it is only a matter of time before it is annihilated.

Just when Kuropatkin continued to be busy preparing for his own rear road, the offensive of the Chinese army also entered the **, and under the attack of large-caliber siege artillery, almost all the heavy artillery of the Russian army with a firing range was destroyed, and then, hundreds of 6-inch cannons were sent to the front line, and then leveled in a medium-range salvo to fire those small and medium-sized bastions and fortresses. The dense rain of bullets never stopped, and one shell hit the heavy reinforced concrete wall directly, maybe one shell could not penetrate it, it didn't matter, then a few more shots, under normal circumstances, a large fortress that could accommodate a company would last at most a few minutes under the direct fire of heavy artillery.

After the entire line of defense was completely broken into isolated strongholds that could not be supported by heavy shelling...... A large number of mortars and heavy mortars took a step forward, completely crushing the entire defense line of the Russian army like a grinding plate, as long as they could find it, they would destroy it if they could hit, and move forward little by little, completely crushing the last elite of the Russian army into powder. And after many rounds of shelling, the remaining Russian troops still have a little fighting spirit in the position still plan to kill and wound their opponents in close combat, but it turns out that they are wrong again! …。

There is no long-range artillery. Without anti-war artillery, after losing the strongest fortress, what is the best type of troops to attack. That, naturally, is all sorts of tanks and armored vehicles. Without artillery support, infantry with only cluster grenades and explosives packs in their hands is quite vulnerable to armored units, even if they can find cover where they can hide and fantasize about being able to rush forward when the opposing vehicle approaches.

Actually, I don't want to think about it. If human anti-tank bombs really worked, countries still engaged in anti-tank guns during World War II? 2. Isn't the Japanese army in wartime the first anti-armor? Although 60 years later, there are still people on the Internet who are studying anti-tank bamboo poles, anti-tank juhe chops and other magical things. But the truth is that these things don't work well on the battlefield.

Behind the tanks were a large number of elite infantrymen with machine guns, grenadiers and even light mortars in their hands. These dense rains of bullets were enough to annihilate anything that dared to straighten up on the open ground for more than 2 seconds. Even if you're hiding in bunker. That's okay, the Huaxia Armored Forces have recently launched a battlefield dedicated to cleaning bunkers, a thing that has the shape of a tank but can't fire shells.

After much thought. Nie Shicheng and the others still definitely let the danger of carrying flamethrowers by individual soldiers really greater. It's nothing if the carrier dies on his own. But once it explodes, it's a sea of fire, and if there is someone next to it, it's eight lifetimes of blood mold! As a result, after repeated research, Nie Shicheng and others still adopted Cai Yi's opinion and directly built a Spitfire tank, which was directly based on the No. 1 assault gun, and did not even need the turret, and installed a spout in the original position of the artillery. At the same time, the ignition equipment was improved. Increased jet pressure and increased spray distance. Of course, the amount of combustion agent carried is also much more ..........

In the face of the Russian army, which has lost almost all of its weapons that can fire more than a pound, these weapons, which are extremely poorly applicable, are extremely useful in this situation. Flamethrower tanks, various short-range mortars and other weapons spray the rain of death freely. Especially the former, the fire dragon of more than 30 meters long spewed out by the fire-breathing tank codenamed Charizov is definitely a nightmare for any infantry, whether it is a dead soldier who is exposed and ready to launch an assault or a soldier who is hiding under a pile of ruins to survive, all are equal in front of the flamethrower! …。

"The enemy is a bunch of demons who wield flamethrowers! They have heavy armor and have a spit gun that can melt away steel. Ignoring our blows, they slowly pushed forward, scorching every pile of ruins with flames. Most of the victims were burned to unrecognizable pieces of charcoal. We could not resist these steel behemoths of all shapes, and they crossed the trenches, through the defensive lines, and began to attack in depth. In just a few days, our defenses were already crumbling. Kulopatkin recalled.

No one expected that the Nebuchu Fortress Group would collapse so quickly. Less than 5 days after the launch of the general offensive, Kulopatkin decided to surrender! So much so that Nie Shicheng and the others asked very puzzled, Russian ** officer, although your ammunition and fuel losses are very large, and the losses in the direction of the breakthrough are also very large. But other fortifications and weapons are still well preserved. Even if the outer defense line is gone, you can remobilize your forces for street fighting..........

The Russians replied simply...... "We have no water, almost all the water sources on the ground are polluted by all kinds of waste from the combustion of oil, and although the groundwater is drinkable, it needs a motor to drive the pump." But the loss of the oil depot and the motor room has made the extraction of groundwater useless. In addition, at the beginning, a lot of water was used up to extinguish the fire, and in the end, the Russian army almost did not even have drinking water. To put it sadly, the Russian army even drank the cooling water for the heavy machine guns as drinking water. In this case, how to fight? ”

With the fall of the Nebuchu fortress, the Russian military forces in the Far East were almost completely destroyed. To put it mildly, it doesn't matter at all that the current Huaxia is divided into battalions to enclose land. When the war is fought like this, God has nothing to do. Thus, under the mediation of Britain and France, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia said that he could negotiate the "Far East question". And Huaxia said more simply, compensation and land cession are necessary, if you are not convinced, then continue to fight.

In the conditions of the Chinese Republic. The areas east and south of the Lena River must be ceded. The whole of Lake Baikal must become the internal lake of the Chinese Republic. As for compensation, in addition to paying the costs of the captured prisoners of war, the Russian government also needs to compensate the Huaxia Republic for the war expenses of 30 million pounds. And in order to prevent Russia from continuing to threaten the Huaxia Republic in the Far East, the Russian ** team must be stationed 100 kilometers away from the Russian side of the border. That is, 100 kilometers along the border between the two countries, the Russian side ......... as a demilitarized zone.

It has to be said that even the decaying Nicholas II was much stronger than the Qing Dynasty of Xu Jie's plane in terms of land and sovereignty, and in history, the Japanese did not get any other land except for half of Sakhalin. And the Russian government, in addition to paying for the meals of the Russian prisoners, did not give the Japanese a ruble. But now it seems unrealistic for the Russians to want to be in this way. Because the current Russian crisis is much heavier than it was historically!

When the draft of the negotiations of the Chinese Republic was delivered to the desk of Nicholas II. The last king of Russia glanced at it and threw it aside in front of the British ambassador. "If we are friends, then please don't send such things to me again, those yellow people are blackmailing and blackmailing. They want us to send away the land that has been notified for hundreds of years, which is impossible, and such a thing will happen unless all the Russians are dead. We will fight to the last bullet and the last man. ”

In the face of the somewhat hysterical Nicholas II, the British ambassador couldn't help but sneer in his heart, but on the surface, this senior diplomat who was very deep in the city still patiently enlightened the last tsar. The plans of the Huaxia Republic for Russian territory were actually told to the British very early on, and the British government was actually fully supportive. Only when Russia has completely lost the possibility of informing the Far East will he devote all his energies to Europe, as for how much will the Russians lose their national strength if this treaty is really signed? The British, as merchants, thought so! …………。

The British never thought that a simple large area of land would bring much benefit, which is why in the 19th century the British completed an empire on which the sun never sets, while allowing Canada, Australia and New Zealand to be self-governing. The British believed that there was no necessary connection between national power and land size, and the British Empire was an example, and the colonies were only a source of raw materials and dumping of products. Didn't the British Empire grow from a small island to the present day? And the British, in their opinion, are like this, and so are the Russians!

Russia had lost a large part of the land, but in the eyes of the British, it was not only not enough to produce sufficient benefits for the Russians...... On the contrary, it has become a big hole that cannot be repaired, not to mention anything else, just one Russian of the Trans-Siberian Railway will be wasted. There are many resources, but they are difficult to extract. It's even more difficult to ship out, you say build a factory in Siberia, even if the finished product comes out plus the freight, it will be more expensive to ship to Europe than to produce something in Europe! This is absolutely unbearable in the eyes of the British!

And what if Russia loses the opportunity to gain further access to the Far East? The situation is different, first of all, the Russians will not stubbornly insist on completing the Trans-Siberian Railway, and then the Russians will transfer the resources originally used in the Far East to Europe, and more importantly, according to the Russians' mind of coming out to pick up less will be compensated. Since the Eastern Front will not be able to get the territories and benefits they want, they will definitely make a fuss in Europe, and the British Empire will also get a wholehearted thug, how good it is!. …。

Of course, as allies, the British still had the basic discipline to give some compensation for the loss of the Russians in the Far East, but this compensation was not given directly but through other means. The situation of the Russians was very bad, even with the financial support of Britain and France, Nicholas II could get through this difficult period with peace of mind, but then what? Russian industry remains fragile. The army is still lagging behind in equipment and command. The combat effectiveness is still relatively sad, and once the war starts, it is almost impossible for Britain and France to give Russia something. What's more, Russia lost a lot of technical equipment this time and could not replenish it, and only God knows when the war began.

The second is more ~~~. Thank you for the tip of athlon9527~~~. Tomorrow will continue to be the double watch, and I hope you will continue to support ~~~~~. It's almost the end of the month, and book friends who still have monthly passes in their hands, can you support it? (To be continued......)
