Chapter 931 Fighting Gedeng Mountain ([-])
Under the fierce bombardment of the Qing army's heavy artillery and anti-war artillery, the Russian artillery finally couldn't hold on anymore. They dared not stand in front of the formation anymore. The artillery regiments did not stop shooting because of this, and the six heavy artillery pieces and many anti-aircraft artillery pieces adjusted their secret positions one after another, and unceremoniously poured artillery fire into the front infantry phalanx of the Russian army, immediately blowing up the Russian army for a while. Chaos - the anti-war artillery is nothing more than it is limited to the range and power, and can only attack the front row of the Russian phalanx. The power of the explosion is not too strong, but the heavy artillery is surprisingly powerful. Although the rate of fire is not fast, basically It takes 2 minutes to fire one round, but the effective range is 1000 to [-] meters. Except for the Russian army's command post on the mountainside of Gedeng Mountain, all Russian positions, including the camp, cannot be hit. Within the range of the heavy artillery, it only takes one shell to hit a death zone with a radius of ten feet on the Russian army array. After only three rounds of shooting, the densely arrayed Russian army has already lost more than a thousand casualties. People, their condition can be described as horrible.

"Heh, it seems that these bastards don't plan to attack anymore, they are going to..."

It is impossible to win a battle by relying on defense, and the same is true by shelling alone. No matter how fierce the artillery fire of the Qing army is, it is absolutely impossible to wipe out the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms. There are many, the reason why he didn't rush to launch a counterattack was just to annihilate some more effective forces of the Russian army in the defensive battle. Now, the cannons of the Qing army were almost overheated, and he didn't see the Russian army. The army showed signs of attacking or withdrawing troops, Hong Qing didn't want to wait any longer, so she planned to order the scheduled battle signal, but before she finished speaking, suddenly there was a burst of passionate drums in the Russian army formation Several groups of infantry phalanxes on the center, center and right flanks began to move forward. Seeing this, Hong Qing's eyes immediately flashed a look of suspicion, and she stopped abruptly when she spoke half of the order.

What's the matter, still want to attack?

Hong Qing's eyes have always been very good. Although separated by a distance of one and a half miles, she can still clearly see the changes in the formation of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms. Not to mention the movement of the Russian army's center and right wings, the Junggar army on the left is also there. Dispatch troops and dispatch generals, it seems that they are about to launch a general offensive, and I can't help but feel a lot of doubts in my heart. No matter how many troops the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms dispatch, it will be difficult to get much benefit in front of the Qing army that is waiting in full force. After all, the firepower projection of both sides The difference in level is too great. If they defend, they may cause a lot of trouble for the Qing army. All-out attack is nothing more than death for nothing. It is impossible to make any progress. This point, from the previous two battles The clues can already be seen, there is no doubt that the posture of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms preparing to attack with all their strength is obviously unreasonable.

"Order: All ministries block the thief's current attack, and the camera launches a counterattack!"

Although Hong Qing is extremely wise, he is not a god after all. He will never know that this unreasonable all-out attack by the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms is actually just Lieutenant General Tolsky's desperate struggle to save his command and face. Without hindering Hongqing from making the correct decision, with one order, all the three Qing armies entered a state of preparation, and the artillery regiments that were bombarding the Russian positions at will temporarily stopped their attacks, and quickly pressed Following the instructions of Zhang Miao and others, he nervously readjusted the shooting position.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The actions of the Russian army in the middle were quite resolute. Amidst the sound of passionate drums, the Russian First Siberian Frontier Army deployed in a wide frontal manner. The three divisions were divided into three sequences, each sequence was a division, and the four regiments were divided into four. A phalanx, with an interval of 30 meters in sequence, formed a wave-like attack posture. Although the speed of the advance was not fast, the momentum was extremely amazing. At the same time, the right-wing Russian army also dispatched two divisions again, also with a wide The frontal approach formed two echelons. As for the Junggar army on the left, it launched an attack with cavalry leading the way and infantry following. In total, only more than [-] people were dispatched, and the speed of the march was extremely slow, far behind the two Russian armies, and the desire to attack was obviously not very strong.

"Order: The infantry guns are fully fired, and the heavy artillery and anti-aircraft guns are on standby!"

Seeing that the enemy army in the middle had passed the 400-meter cordon, Yue Zhongqi dared not ignore it, raised her hand, and issued a general order loudly.

"Order: Artillery, hit me hard!"

Just as Yue Zhongqi gave the order, Zhang Miao also issued the general order. The difference was that Zhang Miao didn't hold back much, and all heavy artillery and light infantry artillery roared immediately.

"Come with me, Assault!"

When the cannon on the left wing of the Qing army rang out, Khmelnytsky, who was still standing still between the center and the right wing, immediately raised his saber, roared, and led his troops to start a wild charge, aiming directly at the left wing of the Qing army. The speed was extremely fast, and in an instant it had surpassed Wachaifsky's troops who were being bombarded miserably, and swooped towards the Qing army array like a frenzy.

"Fire with all your strength to block the old Maozi's cavalry!"

The cannons of the Qing army had just fired a round, and even the easiest-to-load light infantry guns had not yet completed their firing preparations at this time, and the forward of the Cossack cavalry had already rushed to a distance less than 300 meters away from the Qing army's formation. It was too late for all the cannons to launch intercepting shots. Seeing this, Zhang Miao felt a little unsteady, and hurriedly issued a general order.

"Da da da..., bah bah..."

When the order was given, the officers and soldiers of the Qing army who had been on standby for a long time immediately moved after hearing the order. They all pulled the triggers, the machine guns swept wildly, and the guns fired indiscriminately. They covered the past head-on, even though the Cossack cavalry forward was in chaos, and there were countless casualties, but even so, it was difficult to stop the progress of the Cossack cavalry's impact. After a while, the rushing Cossack cavalry forward had already killed Li Qing The military array is only 150 meters away.

"Order: The first cavalry division strikes, block the enemy cavalry!"

The distance of 150 meters is nothing more than an instant for the galloping horses. Even if the right-wing Qing army infantry has opened fire with all their strength, without the cooperation of artillery, it is obviously not easy to block the assault of the Cossack cavalry. Possibly, at this time, the two infantry divisions under Wachaifsky took advantage of the Qing army's firepower being attracted by their own cavalry, and rushed forward quickly, and the front-line phalanx had already arrived at the Qing Dynasty. At a distance of less than 250 meters from the army formation, if there is no accident, the right wing of the Qing army will surely fall into a bitter battle. Although Zhang Miao has already expected this, but there is nothing he can do about it. Fortunately, Yue Zhongqi in the middle was keenly aware of the crisis on the right wing, so he didn't care too much, and hastily issued an order to support the right wing.

"Come with me, kill the thief, kill the thief, kill the thief!"

The First Cavalry Division deployed at the junction of the middle and right roads has only two brigades, with a total strength of no more than [-] cavalry, but there are still about [-] Cossack cavalry to face. The difference in strength between them is not small, but He Min did not hesitate at all, as soon as he received the order from the Central Army, he immediately drew out the saber from his waist, roared, and led his troops to stab diagonally, flying towards the Cossack cavalry formation. The waist killed the past.

"The first and second divisions continue to charge forward, and the third division, turn right, stop the cavalry of the yellow-skinned monkeys, kill them!"

As soon as the [-]st Cavalry Division of the Qing Army came out in this way, Khmelnytsky, who was leading his troops behind the formation, immediately became alert, not daring to sit back and watch his charge formation be disrupted, so he shouted and led The [-]rd Cossack Cavalry Division, which was following behind, turned to the middle and killed the [-]st Qing Cavalry Division.

"Grenade, throw!"

The First Cavalry Division of the Qing Army are veterans of horse warfare, so there is no need for special orders at all. All the officers and soldiers hold sabers in their right hands and conceal a long-handled grenade in their left hand. Following He Min's order, the Qing cavalrymen who were charging Raising their hands almost at the same time, thousands of grenades flew towards the Cossack cavalry brigade roaring like a torrential rain.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The Cossack cavalry had suffered greatly from the rain of hand grenades from the Qing army in the previous attack. Now seeing so many grenades smashing over the sky and covering the sky, they were in chaos immediately. It was really difficult to make adjustments in time, so they could only resign themselves to rushing forward, trying to pass the explosion range of the grenade with the speed of the horse. Obviously, although this kind of idea was good, it was nothing more than wishful thinking. Except for the first two hundred In addition to Yu Qi having achieved such a goal, the Cossack cavalry who followed behind were all devastated. With the violent explosion of the grenade, countless shrapnel swept the middle of the Cossack cavalry charge formation into a mess on the ground. As they rolled up, stumps and broken arms flew around, and pieces of meat splashed everywhere. More than [-] cavalrymen were blown to pieces on the spot. The individual turned his back on his back, and the entire charge formation suddenly became chaotic.

"Come with me, kill in!"

The sound of explosions never stopped, and He Min had already led his troops to kill. With a roar, he had already led his troops into the vanguard of more than [-] Cossack cavalry who had escaped the grenade attack by chance.

The Cossacks are a nation on horseback. They have fought for the Russian Empire all year round. Their horsepower is quite impressive. In terms of personal equestrian skills, they are not inferior to the Qing army. The troops of the Qing army had to be larger. If it was a one-on-one contest, the cavalry of the Qing army could not really take advantage of it, and the possibility of losing was even higher. However, in such a large-scale battle Among them, the competition is not only about personal force, but also a comprehensive competition in all aspects. Obviously, no matter in terms of morale or charge, the Qing army has an absolute advantage. The vanguard of Yu Cossack cavalry was completely wiped out, while the Qing army only suffered casualties of more than [-] cavalry...
