Kowloon wins

Chapter 932 Fighting Gedeng Mountain ([-])
"Don't mess around, rush, rush up for me!"

The cold was ransacked by the Qing army's grenades again, and Khmelnytsky was so angry that his eyes were filled with gold stars. Then he saw that the formation of his own cavalry was in chaos, and even if his eyeballs turned red, he couldn't help it. Ignoring that the explosion in the gunpowder smoke was still going on, he let out a roar, and led his guards to rush forward. With his leadership, the shocking Cossack cavalry had a backbone, and they followed in disorder. Charged up again.

"Kill the thief!"

Khmelnitsky led his troops into the gunpowder smoke just now, and He Min also led his troops to kill them. Seeing that the Cossack cavalry brigade had arrived, he had nothing to say politely. He waved the saber in his hand and roared. Killed Khmelnytsky, who took the lead.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Kuai and Minma, and Khmelnytsky were not slow either. Under the confrontation between the two, they both swung their swords unceremoniously and slashed three times in an instant. The Cossack saber is known as "the sharp edge of the eagle claw. ", the saber is arc-shaped, has no handguard, and has a center of gravity on the back. It is good for chopping and turning. It is a well-trained sword. As for the Qing army's standard saber, it is roughly equivalent to the Cossack saber. The only difference is that the Qing army has an extra saber. The handguard, because of the addition of tungsten, is superior to the Cossack saber in terms of sharpness and hardness, especially the sabers of senior generals such as He Min are all precious swords refined by famous masters. The saber used was stronger than that of the boss. Both sides were strong men, and their strength was almost the same. After three swords with all their strength, the result was Khmelnytsky's broken sword. Fortunately, the injury was not serious. His shoulder was cut by He Min's knife force. Although the blood splashed on Lao Gao, he was not seriously injured, but his heart was flustered. How could he dare to fight again? He gave a strange cry and twisted his horse in a panic The first, relying on the speed of the horse, was covered by a group of personal soldiers and rushed to the side.

"Rush up, don't stop, kill through the enemy formation!"

After killing Khmelnytsky with three swords, He Min didn't pursue him. It's not that he didn't want to, but he couldn't. There's nothing else. We are outnumbered. What matters at this moment is to completely disrupt the charge formation of the Cossack cavalry. , As for Khmelnytsky's head, although it is tempting, it is not a good time to take it. Besides, in this kind of chaos, even if you want to kill it, it is difficult to do it. He Minzi doesn't want to Because of the small loss, he ignored Khmelnytsky's defeat and fled. He shouted and led his troops into the Cossack cavalry formation. A large-scale cavalry duel was in the middle and right. The junction of the full blown.

"Artillery, press me up and fire with all your strength!"

At the time when the Cossack cavalry and the two cavalry brigades of the Qing army were fighting endlessly, the right-wing commander of the Russian army, Huachaevsky, seized the opportunity and ignored the cavalry assault and the two infantry divisions under his command. , Roaring and ordering the artillery units that had previously withdrawn to the rear to press forward again, intending to take advantage of the chaos to launch a firepower surprise attack on the Qing army.

"Artillery, block the shooting for me, and block the subsequent charge of the enemy infantry!"

The timely attack of the 200st Cavalry Division disrupted the formation of the Cossack cavalry, but it was difficult to charge into the waist of the Cossack cavalry after a while, which did not help much to relieve the pressure on the front of the Qing army, but Zhang Miao did. The Cossack cavalry that was getting closer and closer was no longer cared about. The Russian infantry groups of the two divisions had already taken the opportunity to rush to the [-]-meter dangerous cordon. Once the Qing infantry phalanx was attacked by the Cossack cavalry, Once the infantry followed up, the front of the Qing army could not be stabilized. Once it became a scuffle, even if it could win, it would be only a miserable victory, and the loss would not be too small. Because of this, Zhang Miao himself Not daring to take it lightly, he roared and ordered the artillery to block the Russian infantry who followed up with all their strength. As for the Russian cavalry, he could only hope that He Min could reach the waist of the Cossack cavalry formation in time.

"The first and second divisions continue to move forward, pinning down the enemy's middle lane, while the third division runs forward, attacking the junction of the enemy's middle and left lanes, and the artillery steps forward to cover!"

With such an attack from He Min's headquarters, there was a big vacancy in the junction of the center and right roads that it originally occupied. Seeing this, Lieutenant General Tolsky, who was on the mountainside, immediately grasped it keenly. After taking off the fighter plane, he quickly issued a series of orders. Immediately after seeing that the Third Division of the First Siberian Frontier Defense Army, which was originally at the rear of the attacking force, immediately started to turn around, regardless of whether the formation was in formation or not, they swarmed from Killed from the oblique stab, screaming and rushed towards the junction of the Qing army's middle and right roads. At the same time, the Russian army's middle artillery, which had originally retreated behind the formation, also rushed forward with cannons, preparing to cover the Siberian border defense. The breakthrough of the Third Division of the First Army.

"Order: Zhang Denggao leads two brigades up to block the middle and right gaps!"

With such a change in the Russian army's rear formation, Hong Qing, who was standing on the tall mobile tower, became vigilant immediately. She dared not allow the Russian army to break through, and raised her hand, and issued a general order loudly.

"First brigade, second brigade, follow me, charge!"

Zhang Denggao, the commander of the Third Division of the Second Army, a member of the Red Banner of the Han Army, participated in the Battle of Dongying, just like Chang Shan, he is one of the few seniors who are neither the disciples of the Thirteenth Lord nor the Hongqing Guards General, the reason why he was able to assume the high position of the commander of the third division of the second army is because of his excellent ability. Suppressing southern Xinjiang, and even this big battle, the third division has always been a reserve team, and can only sit and watch all the divisions show off in all directions, and the fire has long been suffocated in my heart. With a shock, he let out a loud roar, and led his troops to rush towards the gaps in the middle and right roads.

"Target, 500 meters in front, fire, fire!"

The Russian artillery was bullied terribly by the Qing army before and lost a total of more than [-] cannons. Now, they finally caught a gap where they could show their power. After the deployment of the rear of the team was completed, following the order of its commander, the Russian army's [-] cannons in the middle began to fire wildly, aiming at the junction of the middle and right sides of the Qing army.

"Don't stop, put on the bayonet, and rush over!"

As soon as the Russian artillery showed such power, Zhang Denggao's headquarters, which had just arrived at the junction from the rear of the formation, was caught off guard on the spot. More than two hundred soldiers had already become heroic before they could meet the enemy. Seeing this, Zhang Denggao's His eyeballs turned red, but at this moment, he didn't care about his distress. There was nothing else, probably because the third division of the First Siberian Army had rushed to a distance of less than 80 meters from the Qing army's position. It is too late to form an formation to meet the enemy, and to block the Russian assault, the only way is to rely on hand-to-hand combat with bayonets. For this, Zhang Denggao knows it very well, but listening to his roar, he has no hesitation He led his troops to rush to the Russian army.

Since the beginning of the war, due to the backwardness of weapons, the Russian army has always been suppressed and beaten by the Qing army. They made two successive assaults, but none of them had the slightest effect. On the contrary, they suffered heavy casualties. Now, they finally succeeded in killing the Qing army. In front of the formation, the more than [-] officers and soldiers of the Third Division of the First Siberian Army would not miss this best opportunity to defeat the enemy. Showing weakness at the slightest, he also loaded the bayonet, and strangled with officers and soldiers of the two brigades of the Qing army screaming.

"Order: Heavy artillery and anti-aircraft artillery are available, destroy the enemy artillery positions!"

At this time, the right wing of the Qing army had already approached the enemy. Under the joint attack of the Russian army's fearless infantry and cavalry, even if they had already seen the danger at the junction of their own, it was difficult to spare their hands to support. Fortunately, Yue Zhongqi The artillery of the three battalions, which had been holding three heavy artillery pieces and anti-aircraft artillery, did not move. Seeing that the Russian artillery bombarded the junction of the Qing army with all their strength, they dared not be careless, and issued a general order in a hurry.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

With Yue Zhongqi's order, the 72 anti-aircraft guns and the three heavy guns immediately opened up their firepower, covering the shelling and blasting the Russian artillery positions in an instant, but even so, the remaining Russian gunners refused. Abandoning the position, he bravely continued to bombard the junction of the two Qing armies, even if he accidentally injured his own officers and soldiers who had already been strangled with the Qing army.

"Shoot, shoot!"

The First Division of the Russian Siberian Frontier Army, which was marching forward under the barrage of guns and bullets from the Qing army, finally succeeded in approaching less than 200 meters from the Qing army's array after paying a huge price of casualties. , The volley of guns immediately rang out like popping beans, and the dense bullets swept towards the Qing army's position like a downpour. More than [-] officers and soldiers were either killed or injured.

"The whole army attacks, kill!"

Seeing that both the middle and right sides of the Qing army were in a bitter battle, Tergudang, who had led his troops to sharpen foreign workers, regained his spirits, raised the scimitar in his hand, roared and led more than [-] cavalry to start With a wild charge, they rushed towards the Qing army's position like a tide in a wide frontal manner. At the same time, two Junggar infantry phalanxes also began to run forward with the help of the cavalry cover.

"The artillery fires with full force, and all ministries are ready to engage the enemy!"

Among the three-way Qing army, Cheng Guiwu had the least troops and the least artillery. Including the two divisional artillery regiments, there were only three artillery regiments, and there was no heavy artillery. However, the enemy he was facing was The place with the largest number, but even so, Cheng Guiwu didn't care much about it, nothing else, probably because the equipment of the Junggar army was really bad, not to mention the cavalry with cold weapons, the matchlock guns in the hands of the infantry were For the Qing army armed to the teeth, it is not much better than burning sticks. As for its artillery, although it has more than 300 artillery pieces of various types, most of them are old-style artillery with a range of only about [-] meters. It's just that it can't threaten the position of the Qing army at all, so don't pay attention to it at all. Just concentrate your firepower to knock out the cavalry troops attacked by the Junggar army, which is enough to stop the desperate charge of the Junggar army. Cheng Guiwu has long been prepared for this. Even if the Junggar army launched suddenly, they were not surprised at all, and issued the general order in a calm tone.
