Years of the Republic of China 1913

The Chinese Army Regiment on the south side of Serov quickly adjusted its tactics after the attack was frustrated on the first day. According to the decision of the headquarters meeting, in the Serov Battle, the Chinese Army Regiment changed from the original plan of quickly annihilating the enemy to long-range artillery fire. And air strikes consume the enemy's vital forces to the maximum extent, so as to reduce the casualties of one's own side.

In this way, the main direction of attack was changed from the ground to artillery and air strikes. The ground troops only needed to prevent Serov's defenders from counterattacking and breaking through, and waited for work.Although this tactic feels a bit bullying, and the end of the entire campaign is definitely longer than expected.But now it is only the middle of the month, and the land of Russia is in the warm spring season, and it is still far away from the severe cold in November. Even if you spend some time in Serov, it will not hinder the progress of the entire war. The troops are completely wiped out, which will be beneficial and harmless to the Moscow battle that will determine the outcome.

Due to the tactical adjustment of the Chinese, in the following days, the entire Red Army of Serov will bear the indiscriminate bombing of the Chinese. From the forward position to the urban area of ​​Serov, and even the rear of Serov, as long as the weather is normal, the Chinese air force will When it was dispatched, densely packed bombers and fighter jets roared from the sky recklessly, throwing thousands of bombs and bullets to the ground.

This tactic brought great trouble to Serov's defenders, and the casualties remained high all of a sudden, especially in the forward position, which was repeatedly hit by thousands of cannons and air power from the Chinese Army Regiment. Almost all the fortifications in the position were destroyed Destroyed, the black soil seemed to have been plowed several times, and the originally hard land had turned into fluffy sand and mud.The troops guarding the position suffered heavy losses without seeing the enemy. Although Serov's defenders had made air defense preparations in advance in all parts of the position, under this kind of attack, any preparations were of no avail. The first day after the regiment adjusted its tactics.On a position guarded by a battalion, the air defense bunker was repeatedly bombed and trampled, resulting in the death of all the soldiers of the entire battalion.In order to avoid this situation, the defenders also adjusted their defensive tactics, instead of concentrating their forces on defense, they dispersed all their troops.One person guards the front line of about ten meters, and all other troops withdraw from the traffic trench to a relatively safe place.

In order to break the deadlock, Serov's defenders also thought of other methods, such as night attacks and counterattacks, etc., but the effect was not great.In the cities, although the damage caused by the Chinese is not worse than that of the forward positions, due to the effects of buildings and underground facilities, the main casualties of the defenders are not too many.However, this does not mean that civilian casualties are the same.After several days of bombing, there were ruins everywhere in the city, and homeless civilians were killed in the bombing everywhere, and this tactic of the Chinese also greatly damaged the morale of the defenders. With heavy artillery fire and bombing, many Red Army soldiers felt sadly that the victory of this war was extremely slim.

"I suggest to evacuate the large troops to the rear and immediately evacuate all civilians in the city." In the headquarters, General Yakir's eyes were sunken and his eyes were red.With an unshaven beard, he has long since lost his previous gentle appearance.Discussed with General Ubolevich in a hoarse voice.

General Ubolevich was not much better than General Bakir, with a tired face, bowed his head and smoked fiercely.He can't come up with a better way to deal with this kind of tactics of the Chinese. It's like a modern army with machine guns and cannons besieging the medieval army in the center, unscrupulously using hot weapons to bully and using cold weapons Legion General.

"How's the troop situation these two days?"

"After the adjustment, the casualties of the troops have improved, but the casualties on the front line are still high. Just yesterday, two regiments were sacrificed in the position. In addition to the enemy's bombing and aircraft strafing in the city, it is expected that there will be more A multi-battalion loss."

"Damn Chinese devils!" General Ubolevich cursed angrily: "They hide behind the cannons of the plane like a turtle. Does this still look like a man's behavior? Those who have the ability to fight openly, this This tactic is simply an insult to the honor of soldiers!"

"Yes! The Chinese devils are too cunning. Who knew they would do this, don't they have endless shells and bombs?" General Yakir echoed, nodding repeatedly.Having said that, both he and General Ubolevich knew in their hearts that what the Chinese did was completely in line with tactical thinking. When the Red Army was preparing to use their lives to consume the enemy's strength, would the Chinese still be stupid? Fight consumption with you face to face?If the Chinese commander was of this level, I am afraid that the Chinese would not have hit Serov in such a short time.

"The people are innocent. I agree with your opinion. Let the people evacuate Serov. But the large troops must stick to this place and not retreat. You must know that this is Comrade Frunze's order before leaving."

General Yakir sighed, nodded and said: "Okay, I will arrange the retreat of the citizens right away, but I still suggest to inform Comrade Frunze of the situation here, and ask him how the preparations are going. Already? If we can repel the enemies to the east, our pressure here will be reduced a lot, and our defense will be easier."

"Well, I hope that Comrade Fulongzhi's tactics can be successful. These Chinese devils who have changed their minds, why didn't our troops attacking the capital of China kill all these Chinese during the Manchu Qing Dynasty? If that is the case, now There will be no more trouble."

When General Ubolevich lamented that the Eight-Power Allied Forces failed to completely wipe out the Chinese, Frunze was patiently waiting for the opportunity to come in a forest in the plain area from Khanty to Mansiysk east of Serov .

As he had imagined, he crossed the Ob River eager to win, and followed the broken troops all the way in light armor.According to intelligence, there are more than 4 people chasing the vanguard of the Far East government army. According to the designation, there are four infantry divisions and one brigade. Judging from the number of enemies, the chasing enemies are the elite of these troops, and they did not bring logistics. and baggage, not to mention cannon and some heavy weapons.Except for a very small number of machine guns, it is basically lightly loaded.

"Report to Comrade Commander! Our troops have just passed by. According to the time, the enemy will pass in an hour!"

Frunze nodded in satisfaction, raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "Notify the air force to prepare for takeoff, tanks, artillery units and infantry divisions are ready to attack."

"Yes!"

After the order was issued, Frunze walked towards the edge of the forest on foot. His preset location was the open land in the south of the forest. This is the main road leading to Hunt, with the forest to the north, a plain to the south, and tens of kilometers to the south It is the hills, and the east and northeast are the Ob River. Once the battle starts, the enemy can only retreat to the south or the way they came. Frunze has already arranged a division of troops in the hilly area behind the plain, and After purchasing the position, as long as the enemy retreats to the south, he is sure to swallow the enemy in one breath.As for fleeing to the east or northeast, you must know that the Ob River is not so easy to cross. Even if the enemy builds a pontoon bridge, so what?At that time, can a few pontoon bridges allow the enemy to pass quickly?The banks of the Ob River are probably where they were buried.

Frunze's air force was in Khanty, his tanks were hidden in the forest, and the large army was standing by, waiting quietly for the enemy to throw himself into the net.

An hour later, the sound of marching troops gradually came from a distance. The scouts who were observing in front reported that the enemy troops had arrived. It seemed that they hadn't guarded against the surrounding area at all, and they didn't even send out the guards. The opponent's commander never imagined that when the opponent fled in a panic, he would actually set up a pocket here for them to drill.

"Hurry up boys! You are the heroes of the revival of the empire! When Khanty is taken, Serov is in front of us. Our Chinese friends are storming Serov. The victory of this war belongs to Her Majesty! It belongs to Russia! It also belongs to you ! Go forward! Let's march on Moscow!"

"Ooo! Ooo!"

The officer on a tall horse was wearing the uniform of the Guards, running on both sides of the troops to boost morale. His face was full of smiles. In his opinion, as long as he caught up with the fleeing enemy and took down Hunter in one go, he would be victorious. Right in front of you.In fact, not only he thought so, but also the soldiers of the Far East government army felt that with the victories of the Chinese allies, the day of revival of Russia had come.

"Buzz...buzz..."

Just as the troops entered the plain and were pursuing fast in the direction of Hunter, there was a buzzing sound from afar. Some soldiers couldn't help slowing down, and couldn't help but raise their heads to look around the sound.

"Boys! Look! The plane of the Chinese ally! This must be the air force of our Chinese ally! It seems that our allies already know the direction of our advance, and specially sent the air force to support us. Come on guys! Russia will make another feat!"

"Ooo! Ooo!"

The officer's explanation made the morale of the troops suddenly boil. Everyone has heard that the air force of the Chinese Communist Regiment is powerful. Unexpectedly, the Chinese allies sent the air force to support them before they arrived at Serov.This is great. With the support of the air force, the fleeing enemies have nowhere to hide. I am afraid that they will all be wiped out in a short time.

Soon, the black spots in the distance became bigger and bigger, and the plane could gradually be seen clearly.There are five planes in total, and they don't seem to be small in size, but it's a little strange that the appearance of these planes seems to be slightly different from what the Chinese described.But at a time like this, who would remember this?When the plane gradually flew over the marching troops, the officers and soldiers cheered and waved to the planes in the air, but at this moment, a situation that no one could have imagined happened. It sank down slightly, passing the most densely populated area at an extremely fast speed, and when the plane just passed by, a few black spots fell from the tail of the plane, wobbling to the place where people hadn't reacted yet. crowd heads.
