Wild North America 1846

Chapter 230 Breakthrough
About 2.3 soldiers of the Great Kingdom Expeditionary Force fired violently together after receiving the order. The gunshots that erupted in an instant were overwhelming like a torrent, pouring tens of thousands of hot bullets into the dense Russian army ranks.

The distance between the two sides is only more than 120 yards. This is almost like shooting the Russian army with a gun against the back, and the lethality caused is extremely amazing.

Due to the massive attack by the British and French allied forces, the Russian army gathered on both sides of the river. The front line from the north bank of Sevinaya Bay to the Bebek Canyon held by the Russian army is relatively narrow and not deep, so a large number of second-line troops are hoarded on the south bank of the river. More than 5 people.

According to the combat situation, the second-line Russian army can advance reinforcements at any time and participate in hand-to-hand counterattacks.

nowadays

The more than 10-kilometer-long river bank was instantly covered by thick gunpowder smoke, and only countless guns could be seen flashing flames, and the dense gunfire was endless.

"Stop shooting, everybody stop shooting."

Amid the anxious shouts of the commander, the gunshots that were so dense that they could not be added gradually subsided.

Then, accompanied by heavy gunpowder smoke, a strong and choking smell of blood permeated, covering the battlefield by the river bank.

under the strong cold wind

The gunpowder smoke dissipated quickly, and what appeared in front of everyone was a hellish bloody scene. The tens of thousands of Tsarist Russian troops who were originally neatly arranged were met with an overwhelming bloody massacre, and densely packed corpses lay down layer after layer, like a mountain of corpses Like a sea of ​​blood.

The army of more than 5 people fell apart in less than 10 minutes, and there were countless casualties. A large number of Russian soldiers who survived by chance jumped into the cold river in panic, then lost their body temperature rapidly, and soon sank to the bottom.

And more soldiers crowded on the two big iron bridges, and many Tsarist Russian soldiers fell from the bridge like dumplings, and fell into the river "plop plop plop".

Under the strong urging of the officers, a small number of Russian soldiers raised their guns to fight back, but were soon enveloped by the violent bullet rain, and fell down in pieces like cutting leeks.

In front of the Colt repeating rifle, the old-fashioned smoothbore rifle equipped by the Russian army has only a chance to fire one bullet.

The Russian soldiers on the south bank were slaughtered frantically. As the soldiers of the expeditionary army approached slowly, they either raised their hands and surrendered, or died, or jumped into the icy river with their eyes closed, but the chance of being able to swim to the other side was very slim.

Not long
On the icy river surface, there were densely packed corpses of Russian soldiers, and the river water was dyed blood red, which made one's scalp tingle.

In the eyes of the Russians, this is simply the end of the world.

"Each regiment determines the target to strike, and covers and shoots in an orderly manner."

After the new order was conveyed, the rhythmic gunfire sounded again, knocking the desperate Tsarist soldiers to the ground one after another, reaping their lives steadily and ruthlessly.

"God, how is this possible? Did these devils from the East crawl out of hell..."

Seeing that two-fifths of the strong troops under him were wiped out in a short period of time, and most of the remaining troops were blocked in the long and narrow front line, they were already vulnerable.

The pale Prince Menshikov muttered to himself in disbelief. Due to the extreme fear in his heart, his hands trembled and couldn't stop. He watched the tragedy happen but was helpless.

The Russian army is now in an extremely dangerous situation. The Anglo-French coalition forces launched a fierce attack in front of the position. Behind the position, soldiers from the Expeditionary Army of the Tang Kingdom descended from the sky and are massacring the Russian troops stranded on the south bank overwhelmingly. iron bridge.

And with the captured artillery, they continued to launch firepower attacks on the Russian troops on the north bank. The Russian army was in a bad situation of being attacked on both sides, and the situation was at stake.

The Russian Army Command had become a mess. Several officers of Prince Menshikov ran around like headless chickens, and were hit by stray bullets flying from nowhere, and fell down to the ground and died.

Cannonballs flew in the air, and the bullets shuttled back and forth like locusts. The battlefield was shrouded in a breath of death. The Russian army that was struggling was already facing collapse, and a decision had to be made.

Prince Menshikov's eyes showed a silent tragedy. The efforts of more than a year, and the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of Russian troops, were all in vain.

Losing the crucial Battle of Sevastopol will make the situation of the Tsarist Russian Empire, which was fighting alone, even more difficult, and the initiator of all this is the Expeditionary Force of the Tang Kingdom.

He couldn't figure it out even though he was thinking about it; how did these oriental troops cross over from the snowstorm-ravaged Mount Arcamond?

Now, it is meaningless to pursue all this.

"Pass down the order. The whole army, led by the Belarusian Army, is preparing to break through the encirclement, heading to the northeast, which is the direction of the British attack." Full of sadness, Prince Menshikov gave the order to break through. Full of hatred for Brits.

It was the Anglo-Saxons who caused the Russian Empire to fall into gang fights. The betrayal of the two allies of Prussia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire made things worse. What the damn Brit did.

Without the Brits, there would be no Anglo-French Intervention Army.

Without the Britons, the Tsarist Empire would have broken through the Black Sea decades ago.

Without the British, the powerlessness of the Tsarist Empire would have torn the Ottomans to pieces, occupied the Balkans along the Danube River, penetrated deeply into Europe, and fulfilled the dream of the Tsarist Empire for countless years.

By the way, without the British, these Eastern soldiers from the Tang Kingdom would not have appeared on the Crimean battlefield.

All the crimes of all these must be borne by the heinous British.

After the order to break out was issued, all the frontline troops of the Russian army moved into action immediately. Except for some of the troops left behind to guard the two large iron bridges, the other troops concentrated in one direction.

near noon
The main force of the Russian army, which was heavily surrounded, suddenly rushed out of the solid position like a flood that opened the gate, and launched a decisive charge with shining white blades. come out.

The main force of the British army collided head-on unexpectedly, and they immediately covered the Russian army with crazy artillery fire and shooting, and the two sides fought desperately.

The Minie rifle equipped by the British army can cause fatal damage to Russian soldiers within a range of 500 meters.

However, the main force of the Russian army that broke through the siege faced huge casualties, stepped on the corpses of the fallen soldiers and rushed up, staring at the red eyes, and launched a charge in a state of almost screaming madly.

After knocking down a group of Russian soldiers, more soldiers rushed up, and this was repeated. The charging Russian soldiers seemed endless, and soon overwhelmed the main force of the British army.

Then there was selfless hand-to-hand combat and fighting between the two sides. The sound of shouting and killing was so loud that the main force of the French army who was not far away was stunned. After recovering, they immediately organized a volley of guns to fight together...

At this moment, the Sevastopol Fortress is shrouded in a heavy shadow of death, and hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting together selflessly, showing the cruelest side of war.
