A cannonball fell only a dozen meters away from Shao Piaoping, and exploded violently, but fortunately, Shao Piaoping and the two soldiers hid in the cat's ear hole, but the explosion also shook a large piece of dirt and rolled down and fell on them.

With mud and gravel on his head and a face smoked with gunpowder, he could not do anything but hide in the fortifications and wait for the shelling to end.

"Damn, the Russians' shells are much more powerful than just now, they're going to die!"

When a soldier next to him heard this, he couldn't recognize it and laughed: "Mr. Shao, you are a university questioner, why are you still rude?" ”

"What's wrong with the foul mouth? Now if I were given a gun, I would immediately rush to the front line, even if I spilled a single blood on the battlefield. ”

"Mr. Shao, don't scare us, the commander-in-chief has personally explained, to protect your safety, we dare not disobey the order."

As he spoke, several stretchers were quickly lifted down, and on them lay several wounded soldiers, one of whom seemed to have fallen into a coma, but he still held the rifle in his arms and did not let go for a moment.

Seeing that this soldier was sent over, Shao Piaoping's mood was also fluctuating, and she sighed and said: "I have written countless articles over the years, but all of them add up, and they can't compare to a soldier who sacrificed for the country, which is called useless being a scholar!" ”

"Mr. Shao, you are a person who has a university question, and the articles you write are known to everyone in the world, can you write a little more about these brothers, we are not afraid of death when we go to the battlefield, but we are a little afraid of being forgotten by others."

The soldier was a little shy when he spoke, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed to take the initiative to ask for a name, but he did think so in his heart. When it comes to the battlefield, it is true that no one is afraid of death, the most feared thing is obscurity, they have paid so many sacrifices, they must always be recognized.

Shao Piaoping nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely be able to do it!" ”

The artillery bombardment subsided, the Russian soldiers once again poured into the positions of the Feng army, and Shao Piaoping was also familiar with the rhythm of the battlefield, and he ignored the opposition of the soldiers around him. They ran along the communication trench to the front line for a while, and their position was only a few hundred meters away from the front line, and they could already see the two armies fighting to the death.

The Russians sent the most elite liliang, under dense artillery cover. Once again, they rushed to the positions of the Feng army, and these Russians and the Feng army once again staged a brutal white-knuckle battle. Facing the fierce Russians. The soldiers did not hesitate. Facing the blade of the Russians, he rushed forward.

The troops that have experienced the test of war in Europe are obviously more amazing in combat effectiveness, their fighting is more ruthless, and they are also good at giving full play to their own advantages, and the Russian army is generally a little taller than the Feng army. Height and long arms allow them to attack the Feng army at a greater distance.

Many of the soldiers of the Feng army fell in the first round of confrontation, but they still did not flinch. Li Jinglin, Zhang Henian and others were all masters of stabbing in the Feng army, and took the initiative to take the lead in fighting, and in the blink of an eye, many Russians fell at the feet of the Feng army, and both sides suffered casualties.

As the white-blade battle continues, the fighting on the battlefield is becoming more and more intense, in fact, as the Russian army also has its own glory, they can accept the fate of not being able to defeat Germany, but let them admit that they are inferior to the Chinese, it is simply more uncomfortable than killing them, so these Russians have all taken out desperate jiashi.

The same is true of the Feng army, with the Suifen River behind them, if they take a step back, the Middle East Road that countless brothers have bought for their blood will change hands, which is even more uncomfortable than killing them, they also tried their best, the bullets ran out with bayonets, the bayonets were broken, and they used their hands and teeth, as long as they still had a breath, they fought with the Russians to the end.

More and more wounded soldiers of the Feng army pulled the grenades on their bodies, and the enemy in front of them died together, not far away, Shao Piaoping's eyes tears rolled down, and he couldn't stop at all, at this time he felt the cruelty on the battlefield most truly, and also understood the greatness of the soldiers.

Some people think that life and death are the biggest test in life, but these soldiers in front of them have put life and death aside, forgotten all emotions, as long as they still have a trace of strength, they will fight to the death with the enemy, pure life-and-death fighting, without any fancy, and the shock is even more indescribable.

At this time, the front-line positions of the Feng army were in a white-knuckle battle, some positions had already appeared loopholes, more and more Russians had poured in, and the entire front was in danger.

Zhang Tinglan, who was in the command headquarters, also got the report, and Qin Wei hurriedly said on the side: "Commander-in-chief, I want to ask for battle, let me take my brothers to kill, and ensure that I can block the attack of the Russians, so that they will not return!" ”

Zhang Tinglan pondered slightly, waved his hand, and then said: "Tell Sun Anhu and let him give the order to retreat the soldiers and enter the second line of defense." ”

The staff officer hurriedly conveyed the order, and Qin Wei was still a little puzzled and asked: "Commander-in-chief, our brothers can still hold on, and there are reserves behind, why give up the position." ”

"Old Qin, let's go to the sand table and have a look." Zhang Tinglan pulled Qin Wei to the front of the sand table, showing the situation of the entire battlefield above, Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Now the Russians are focusing their attacks on the front, obviously wanting to break through our defense line with their powerful attack capabilities." Then it is better to avoid the enemy's edge, take the initiative to retreat, and lure them up the second line of defense, so that the Russian army will in fact form a salient, and when the time is ripe, cut off their rear route and destroy these Russians in one fell swoop. ”

At present, all the troops in Zhang Tinglan's hands are combined, including the temporarily conscripted militia, but about 15,000 people, if you want to hold a defense line of twenty or thirty kilometers long, it is obviously thin, and the configuration of firepower is also relatively scattered, so it is also a very normal choice to take the initiative to retreat and lure the Russians in.

After all, the first line of defense is essentially a consumption of the enemy's troops, and the main firepower of the Feng army is concentrated in the second line of defense, Zhang Tinglan stared at the sand table carefully, and then said to Qin Wei: "The reserve must be ready at any time, after consuming the strength and firepower of the Russian army with the fortification group, once they show defeat, you must immediately attack and go around the back of the Russian army." Wipe out all this Russian army on the border. ”

When Qin Wei heard that Zhang Tinglan was actually preparing to annihilate the Russians, he also said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, if these Russian troops are all solved, Russia will not have many troops between Boli and Vladivostok. ”

Zhang Tinglan is also salivating for the land on the east bank of the Ussuri River, which is not just more than 400,000 square kilometers of fertile land, which is facing the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk. Originally, the northeast was bordered by the sea, the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea to the south, and the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk to the north.

With these two outlets to the sea, the economic development potential of the Northeast will be even greater, and the strategic space of the Chinese Navy will also be multiplied. It has to be said that Tsarist Russia has a unique strategic vision. They robbed the Outer Northeast and carved off the territory on the east bank of the Ussuri River. All at once, the estuaries to the north of the three eastern provinces were cut off.

In later generations, Hunchun, Jilin was only a dozen kilometers away from the sea. Being able to smell the breath of the sea, but not being able to touch the ocean, that is the end of the world, making countless people sigh. Take back the Outer Northeast, change the strategic situation of the whole of China, and strive for a better living space for future generations. This is the direction that Zhang Tinglan has long determined.

Dealing with the Japanese and recovering the lost territory are the two major tasks that Zhang Tinglan has set for himself, and now a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is in front of him. As long as the Russians in front of him are eliminated, they will be able to set foot in the territory they once lost, what a temptation this is, Zhang Tinglan's mind is also constantly thinking.

A wry smile appeared on his face for a long time: "The time is not yet ripe, we have to wait, we have to wait for the Russians to really mess up the world, we have to wait for our Feng army to further develop and grow, without 100,000 elite soldiers, don't think about restoring the old mountains and rivers." ”

"Commander-in-Chief, did you say you could wait for the opportunity?"

"Of course, sooner or later, the majority party in Russia will make a fuss, and their theories will inevitably be opposed by all the powers, and then we will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

Zhang Tinglan is not a fool, his mind is very clear, if the Feng army defeats the Russians and then sets foot on Russian soil, if the Russian Provisional Government does not go to fight to the death with Germany, and turns back to concentrate on dealing with the Feng army, then the Entente bloc will go crazy, Zhang Tinglan does not want to change the trend of the First World War, so the battle in front of him is destined to be a limited confrontation.

Or this is a rehearsal, the time for the Feng army to recover the territory is still to come, but Zhang Tinglan said again: "Although you can't take back the territory, but take something else, Lao Qin, you have to be ready, Shuangchengzi is the transportation hub of the region, there is a locomotive repair shop of a large scale, and there are some ordnance factories, after the Russian army is eliminated, these things will be snatched back, don't leave them to the Russians at all!" ”

Zhang Tinglan kept thinking about the situation below, and Sun Anhu had already received Zhang Tinglan's order, and he immediately commanded the soldiers of the Feng army to start retreating slowly, but if you want to retreat smoothly, you must suppress the opponent's firepower, otherwise the retreating soldiers will become a live target for the opponent's artillery.

Since the beginning of the war, the artillery of the Feng army has been extremely restrained, paying great attention to preserving itself, and has not been as ostentatious as the Russians, which is also determined by the tactics of the Feng army's defensive counterattack. At this time, it was also time to use artillery, and Sun Anhu ordered a heavy artillery battalion to be ready for battle.

Twelve 150 mm howitzers were ready, and this level of artillery was bought from the Russians by the Feng army and is now used against the Russian army, although ironically the Russians are not equipped with this level of artillery.

The artillery of the Feng army was fully prepared, the muzzle of the black hole hole was aimed at the Russians, and the artillery of this class had an extremely strong shock, one shell weighed forty-two kilograms, and it needed to be carried by two soldiers to load.

The artillery had long been eager to try, and now that they had received the order, twelve guns were fired together, and huge shells streaked across the sky and smashed into the Russian artillery positions. The Russian artillerymen had also been tested by the First World War, and were very familiar with the characteristic whistling sound of heavy artillery, and when they heard it, they were all dumbfounded.

How did these people not expect that the Chinese would have such a big killing weapon in their hands, and the faces of the Russian artillery commanders were green, and they had long known that the Feng army had such powerful equipment, how could they dare to show their teeth and claws in front of the Feng army. These Russians not only scolded the Russian officials, but also secretly scolded the Fengjun for being shameless, obviously with such a powerful weapon, Weishenme pretended to be a grandson from the beginning.

Of course, the Russians will not understand, if they are not so good at pretending, how can there be such a haode killing effect, the heavy artillery shells roared and smashed into the positions of the Russian army, exploding not far from them, each shell, can easily turn a range of tens of meters into a no-man's land, in the first round of attacks, many Russian soldiers were blown into pieces.

Immediately after the artillery of the Feng army corrected the parameters, another round of more accurate shells smashed over, and the Russian artillery position was suddenly shrouded in gunsmoke, as if countless thunderbolts had fallen from heaven, erasing a large part of the Russian artillery position in an instant, leaving only a pile of metal parts and mutilated corpses.
