Seeing Li Huchen's joining, Hanada Nakasa couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly called for Amaterasu's blessing in his heart. As a spy who has been lurking in the Far East for several years, Hanada Nakasa still knows a lot about the situation of the Russian army, and it is precisely because of this understanding that he dares to ambush the Russian army with less than 3,000 troops when his own forces are not superior. According to common sense, he is right in thinking like this, after experiencing continuous defeats and retreats, the fighting spirit of the Russian soldiers can be ignored, as long as they are ambushed now, the Russian army must be in chaos, and there is another decisive assault, then this chaotic and warless Russian army will be driven into the eastern ravine that has been arranged long ago - the way the Russian army is coming, and it is human instinct to turn back in the face of danger - there is no doubt about it. The only exception was that the commander who led the Russian army was a tough and skillful man, who quickly mastered the troops after the initial panic, and the Russian Cossack artillery had the advantage over the Japanese artillery, firing faster and not afraid of death.
With the addition of the new force, the gray line in the east was constantly being eaten and squeezed by the blue line in the west, and Colonel Madlitov showed this trend in the middle of the fight, but he could not do anything about it. Now the Russian army is completely relying on a force of qi to fight, and the reason for the promotion of this spirit is entirely because the officer corps with him as the core has infected the soldiers with the style of leading by example and taking the lead, as long as he is killed or retreated, then the entire front will collapse immediately. There was nothing more humiliating than seeing defeat come slowly and not being able to struggle, and the aggrieved Colonel Madlitov roared like a black bear, venting his anger at the Chinese who had betrayed him and led himself and his men to this Jedi. With every slash, he cursed, "Chinese Yankees, go to hell." Although with the help of the adjutants. He killed a lot of Chinese who should go to hell, but the disadvantage of the Russian army is irreversible.
Li Huchen, the big boss, noticed Master Ma in an officer's coat very early in the crowd, and when he saw that he had cut down a few cubs in a row, he wanted to go up and kill him. He didn't know anything about the resentment in Ma Da's heart, that is, even if he knew, he didn't have the slightest conscience disturbance. This is not because Li Huchen is too barbaric and has no faith, let alone because he has a grudge against the big nose, the real reason is that in Li Huchen's opinion, whether it is a big nose or a small nose, they are all outsiders, and there are many things that are unnecessary for outsiders. To paraphrase a mantra of Li Huchen, it is called "If you die, you must be saved; People outside will not be saved when they see death". Foreigners regard Chinese as barbarians, but Chinese still treat foreigners as barbarians in their bones, and they are honest and righteous to barbarians.
Just when Li Huchen was still a few steps away from arriving in the circle of Master Ma, "Boom...... Rumble...... Boom......" Several shells exploded in the crowd, and countless pieces of severed limbs and blood flew up. After a moment in the air, they smashed back into the crowd - because the valley was too narrow for the Cossack cavalry to fight, and after clearing the surrounding firing points, its supreme commander, Major Zahar, saw the decline of the Russians and weighed it, hoping to recover his disadvantage by such indiscriminate artillery bombardment. Really. The law of "as soon as the cannon sounds, the beard will run" worked, and the beard who was fighting on the front line immediately retreated, and as soon as the beard withdrew, the Japanese army that had been fighting for a long time could not resist, so they also retreated. The last Overseer had no choice but to let everyone go.
Colonel Madlitov, who had repelled the decisive charge of the Japanese, had long since lost his strength. On the way back to the camp, it was with the support of the adjutant, Lieutenant Bakseev, that he returned to the camp with dignity. He sat on the muddy ground like mud, panting as he watched the sun set in the west, and the staff officer who stayed behind next to him was reporting to him the losses in this battle, "Our army has lost more than 400 people in this battle......
Colonel Madlitov waved his hand, he did not want to listen to the report of battle damage now, but said to the Cossack officer, Major Zahar, who was standing uneasy in front of him: "Well done, Major...... Well done......" and then added: "Immediately retreat north, retreat north." Cavalry units are under your command. The 6th Army was ...... by Major Joseph" Before he finished speaking, the staff officer reminded him in a low voice that Major Joseph had been killed in the battle just now, he slapped his head and said: "Then Major Issaac will take over Leonid's position, and the troops will immediately pack up and retreat north!" ”

"It's really a praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind." Yang Rui stood on the high mountain west of Pingdingshan Village and sighed - this unknown mountain is more than 700 meters above sea level, much higher than the mountain where the Japanese army deployed machine guns in front.
Of course, the reason why he sighed was because he felt a little sour in his heart - unlike Li Huchen, who "outsiders don't save when they see death", Yang Rui is a stubborn and conservative personality but a soft and kind person at heart, and every time he watches a police movie, he hopes that those criminals who are surrounded by the police can escape. Maybe it's human nature to be inclined to the weak, but this nature is particularly obvious in him, although the tempering of society makes him very careful to bury this kindness carefully, for fear of being dug up and used by others, but in the face of Leo's extremely despicable battle plan, this kind of buried kindness is still involuntarily revealed, and it is only with such an unsatisfactory sigh.
Leo's battle plan stunned several student staff officers, and Lei Yizhen, who had established the honor of a soldier because of his military school education, was interrupted by Leo slapping on the table before he could finish his words about "civilization". "Remember, only the victor is civilized!" Leo said categorically, and then looked at them with a mixture of disdain and expectation, and the corner even swept past Yang Rui, the president of the army.
If war is about fighting the enemy and preserving oneself, then there is nothing wrong with Leo's plan, even a brilliant plan - on the night after Madlitov left the Liudaojiang River for Pingdingshan, the Liudaojiang camp was quelled by the Renaissance Army taking advantage of the twilight charge, and the remaining half battalion of Russian troops surrendered after a little resistance. After tracking the route of most of the Russian army, Leo's original battle plan was to ambush the Russian army in a relatively narrow section of the Taizi River valley. However, during the early reconnaissance, the outpost showed traces of the Japanese army setting up an ambush near Pingdingshan. It was because when the information was transmitted back to the front point, the previous plan was completely nullified, and under the guidance of Leo, the student staff officers reformulated another plan, the Japanese army was ambushed in the east, and the revival army was ambushed in the north, depending on how the Russian army went.
Aside from the superfluous words and numbers, the battle plan could be reduced to a single sentence - to take advantage of the twilight to surprise the exhausted Russian troops after the Russo-Japanese War, and at the same time require the raiding troops to wear Russian military uniforms. Try to get as close as possible to the Russian army before the shelling.
Yang Rui put down the binoculars after "ah", and took out a pocket watch to see the time, and the sun would set in half an hour. Yesterday afternoon was sunset at 5:01, so according to calculations, it should be 4:59 sunset today. However, if you want a yellow person in a Russian military uniform to look like a Caucasian, it is not possible to choose the timing of the raid before sunset, and it is possible to fill up the number after sunset but before it is completely dark. It's just that this time may be longer in the summer. But in autumn and winter, it won't take half an hour. After the white-knuckle battle just now, the Russian army still has at least more than 2,000 people, and it is still a little difficult to defeat the Russian army in half an hour of offensive time, especially in this operation, there are few veterans, only the second and third battalions with wooden handles, and the fourth and fifth battalions composed of miners as the main force. The 1st Battalion cut into the entrance to the valley to prevent the Japanese from breaking through, and the 6th Battalion and other personnel served as reserves.
When the sun was completely setting in the west, Colonel Madlitov led his troops into the northern valley, and the troops marched north in a long queue, and the Russians went north in Hanada Nakasa. In desperation, I had to send a signal corps to the alkali factory, and suddenly. There was a trumpet sound in the heavens and the earth, and the sound was so strong and long that it seemed to roll over the ground, beating the hearts of everyone in the valley like a drum. The sound of the horn was not long, but Colonel Madlitov seemed to feel that the ancient sound of the horn seemed to awaken some ancient beast, and he made this cross on his chest, and the hairs all over his body could not help but stand up, and he faintly felt that the ground seemed to tremble.
Although at first, as a member of the Divine Order, he thought it would be easy to incorporate this fertile land into the empire, but the more time passed in the Far East, the more he maintained a sense of awe for this vast land, and he knew that God in the far west could not bless himself in the Far East.
As if to confirm what Colonel Madlitov thought, the sound of the horn has not stopped, "whoosh...... Boom, whoosh...... The sound of this cannon was very eerie, there was no sonic boom when the field cannon was discharged, only the sound of the cannonball rubbing the air when it flew, it was very much like the devil's scream in hell, penetrating everyone's eardrums.、......
In the afterglow of the setting sun, countless shells of unknown origin fell on the Russian army retreating in the northern valley, the entire valley was stirred up by the shells to smoke and dust, the Russian army was in chaos, the stumps and flesh splashed by the explosion made the soldiers who were originally lying on the ground lose their cool and began to run around, Colonel Madlitov had lost his previous courage, kissing the cross, as if asking God if he had been abandoned by God. Fortunately, the devil's artillery stopped after ten minutes of rage, much to the relief of Colonel Madlitov.
The artillery bombardment was short-lived, and if it weren't for the craters, smoke and heart-rending screams of soldiers in the valley, one would have wondered if it had ever appeared. After the bombardment, everyone's eyes stared at the south side of the river valley through the smoke of gunpowder, and the appearance of the Japanese army's decisive assault just now came to mind. Colonel Madlitov clenched his command knife, but he couldn't control the tremor in his hand, and was still ambushed by the Japanese, he thought.
In the vast twilight, at the same time as the shelling, several dense Russian troops appeared out of thin air at the foot of the mountains on both sides of the northern river valley, the gray military uniforms seemed to be too wide, the sleeves and trousers of these Russian soldiers were all rolled up, and all the left hands were tied with white strips of cloth. In the afterglow of the sun, the Russian army, which was stunned by the shells, wasted a lot of effort to see the red, blue and white Russian flag of the Tsarist army, and it was extremely lucky that such a group of reinforcements arrived before the enemy attacked, but why did they appear here? As he pondered this, the allies on the opposite side suddenly started running, and kept throwing these things at them as they went.
The explosion of the "bang, bang............" grenade made the slightly relaxed nerves of the Russian army tense up again, and without encountering any strong resistance, the Russian army was cut into several sections by the "friendly army", and the Russian soldiers only saw someone in the melee, but did not know who the enemy was. Just wait until you see the enemy troops wearing the gray uniforms of the Russian army breaking into the central camp. The soldiers suddenly realized that the enemy was wearing their clothes. So they can't see clearly who the enemy is. Cavalry Major Zakhar was about to rush over for hand-to-hand combat with the cavalry spear peculiar to Cossack cavalry, when there was a "snap, bang", and a shotgun opened fire in front of him, and his body was as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and after a beating, he flew backwards, and was no longer conscious before he fell to the ground.
The four battalions of the Renaissance Army cut the long strips of Russian troops into several sections like a steel knife cutting cream, and the second battalion of the Baxing Army broke into the central camp of the Russian army in the gray uniforms of the Russian army. When Madlitov took the big nose and robbed the forest farm along the river, he killed hundreds of wooden handles. Of course, this matter curly beast Tiezi Lin Qi also has a share, but this Lin Qi is at least a Chinese, his ancestral home is also from Shandong, and when he broke into the eastern part of the country, he still came with the old wooden handlers, just as the so-called bow his head and not look up, although he was ruthless when he started with his fellow villagers, he still left a room. Generally, a way out will be given. It was the same group of big noses under Madratov, who were convinced that the execution of the infidels was completely innocent, and the Orthodox Christians were merciless in their murderous efforts.
When the second and third battalions were mobilized, with the wooden handlers as the main members, the soldiers heard that it was Madlitov's big nose that was beaten this time, and the barracks suddenly seemed to be on fire, and the shouts, howls, and curses continued for a long time, and the sky was overturned. They quickly snatched the central assault mission from the first battalion with a blood book - if there is anyone who has no grudge against this big nose, it is not Linjiang wood! Who doesn't want to kill this big nose and cut off their grandchildren! And today, these wooden handlers who used to be slaughtered by the big noses and only knelt down and begged for mercy have finally come to take revenge.
"Ma Da Nose, where are you? Come out, big nose! ......" Wang Lai, who broke through into the third squad of the third company of the second battalion and the third platoon of the Russian army, shouted every shot of the shotgun in his hand. Not so, as if he couldn't vent the hatred in his heart, with his voice. It seems that the entire soldier who broke into the ranks of the Russian army shouted so.
The entire marching column of the Russian army was completely divided into several sections, and then it was concentrated by the Baath Army and began to eliminate it. In front of the melee commando team with a combination of grenades, shotguns, and bayonets, as well as the flying thunder cannon that Yang Rui made out of his brain, the Russian army was completely unable to form an effective resistance, or did not know how to resist at all. One Russian army surrendered, a group of Russian troops surrendered, and a piece of Russian army surrendered......
By the last light from the west, the Chief of the General Staff of the Baath Army, William Brown. Leo closed his pocket watch satisfied. He said to Yang Rui, the commander-in-chief of the Fuxing Army beside him, "Yang, the assault combination you proposed is more powerful than expected, and the flying thunder cannon is very useful, which makes us end earlier than expected, you know, we have also prepared torches." ”
Yang Rui smirked, Leo is such a person who regards war as art, the battle is as accurate as the bell on the top of a church tower under his control, although there are occasional errors, but in the end the errors are absolutely within the controllable range. And he is also teaching himself how to fight and fight all the time, indeed, as the leader of the armed forces, he must first be an invincible soldier. At the same time, Yang Rui is also trying to move closer to this aspect, but people's talent is limited, if Yang Rui is asked to sell fruits, manage factories, and manage a company, he is completely competent, but it is difficult to be a famous general.
When Lin Qi attacked the camp at the beginning of the year, he felt that to be a good commander was to have a calm heart, but after a few battles, he felt that in addition to having a calm heart and incomparable courage, the commander also had to have a careful brain. Of course, he can do all these things, but the most important thing as a general is to have scattered thinking, not a single line from A to B, from B to C, but from A to directly connect countless rays. For this, frankly, Yang Rui can't do it, his logical thinking is too strong, it is easy to fall into the dead end of linear thinking, and he can only hope that there can be such a genius among his students.
At least Leo thinks that Yang Rui is a military genius, not to mention mortars, grenades, flying thunder cannons and other simple new weapons, just talking about grenades, shotguns, bayonets These three combinations are not something that ordinary people can come up with. There were always some tiny flashes of light on Yang Rui's body that were highly valued by Leo, and these flashes seemed to make him see another mode of war that he had never seen before.
When Yang Rui was about to organize the words to answer Leo, the herald came over and said, "Report, the Japanese have sent someone over to ask about our identity and ask why they are shelling them. ”
Thinking of little Japan, Yang Rui was amused in his heart, he killed a lot of people after fighting for a long time, and finally robbed himself of the prey, and said with a smile at the moment, "You just tell the other party that we are Bluebeard, as for the shelling just now caused by our army's use of expired maps, our side has no hostile intentions." ”
