With the riding crop in his hand, he only hit Marquis Alexander Onukovych on the buttocks.
The war horse of Marquis Alexander Onukovych kept neighing in pain.
Marquis Oleg Ivanov pointed his whip at Count Alexander Onukovych, his body was trembling, and he said angrily:
"Ten thousand elite soldiers followed you to fight, but only less than 800 came back.
Our army's only chance of turning a corner was ruined by you."
After Marquis Oleg Ivanov finished speaking, he, who was known for his seriousness, had red eyes and tears kept falling.
Count Alexander Onukovych looked at this situation and could only praise his acting skills.
What Marquis Oleg Ivanov did was to avert responsibility and put all the blame on his head.
His remarks also provided a good reason for abandoning Kuznetsk in the future.
Count Alexander Onukovych could now see the situation clearly, but he could no longer speak.
He had already expected that this war would be lost.
I just want to be able to return to Russia safely and tell the story of this war.
He will bear the responsibility for the defeat, but he will never bear all the responsibility for the defeat.
After Marquis Oleg Ivanov got angry, he went to the southern wall.
The morale of the Russian troops I saw along the way was very low.
Many Russian troops no longer discuss the outcome of the war, the firearms gap between the two armies, and other war-related topics.
They all told that they missed their hometown and their mother.
Marquis Oleg Ivanov knew that the morale of the army had completely collapsed.
From top to bottom, the Russian army has no fighting spirit.
The Russian army still thinks Kuznetsk is very safe.
Once the city is breached by the Dahua army, these Russian troops will immediately choose to flee and will never resist desperately.
Marquis Oleg Ivanov has given up hope of stopping the Chinese army.
He now has to find ways to escape from Kuznetsk, preferably to save his own life.
Marquis Oleg Ivanov has not yet reached the southern wall.
He saw a huge explosion near the south city wall.
The artillery of the Dahua army has launched an attack on Kuznetsk.
Marquis Oleg Ivanov watched huge plumes of gunpowder smoke fill the sky.
Tragic explosions continued to destroy Kuznetsk's city defenses.
Every piece of land in the southern city wall of Kuznetsk and the fortifications outside the city wall are covered by the artillery of the Chinese army.
Marquis Oleg Ivanov saw heavy artillery shells exploding on the city walls.
He knew that the Russian corpses on the city wall would be hard to survive.
Marquis Oleg Ivanov, who originally wanted to go to the city wall to command the battle, immediately stopped.
He is also made of flesh and blood, and if he climbs the city wall now, he will most likely die on the city wall.
Marquis Oleg Ivanov, who cherished his life, did not want to die in this way.
He found a private house as his office in an area closest to the southern city wall and beyond the reach of the Dahua army's artillery shells.
He continued to give orders to command the Russian army, and waited until the break in the artillery bombardment of the Dahua army to take over the garrison on the city wall.
Many Russian troops were unwilling to go up to the city wall to die, so Marquis Oleg Ivanov could only rely on the supervising team to force the Russian troops to go up the city wall to defend.
Without soldiers defending the city walls, once the artillery of the Great China Empire destroyed the forts outside the city.
The city of Kuznetsk cannot stop the Chinese Empire army attacking the city, and it will fall soon.
Marquis Oleg Ivanov decided when to evacuate Kuznetsk by observing the speed of the Chinese army's attack on the city.
…………………………
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As soon as the eastern sky turned white, the wake-up drum sounded in the Dahua Army camp.
Except for the troops responsible for the defense last night, they had no sleep last night because they had to deal with the battlefield left by the Russian army in the night attack.
Most soldiers can fall asleep quickly even if they hear the sound of mine explosions and gunshots.
They all know that it is necessary to ensure adequate sleep before a war. After the war begins, it is normal to stay up late for two or three days in a row.
The getting-up drum sounded, and all the soldiers sat up on the bed like a conditioned reflex.
They put on their military uniforms very quickly, washed briefly, and came to the canteen of their regiment.
After they finished their breakfast, they immediately went to the playground, lined up, and headed to their designated positions in the army.
Ma Xianglin, commander of the 19th Army, only slept for more than two hours last night. He had been thinking about various problems that might arise in the decisive battle.
After hearing the wake-up drum, he opened his eyes and heard the slogans of the soldiers outside.
Ma Xianglin simply washed up and walked out of the tent. He saw that the soldiers of the 19th Army were already preparing for the war.
He was not in the mood to eat now and came to the location of the Chinese army.
Chief of Staff Su Cheng is already waiting here in advance.
When he saw Ma Xianglin's red eyes, which were the same as his own, he knew that he had stayed up late last night.
Chief of Staff Su Cheng said with emotion: "We have made all preparations, it just depends on the performance of each unit today."
Ma Xianglin looked at several flag language soldiers, standing on a high platform, preparing to use flag language to convey simple orders.
Dozens of messengers were sitting on horses, waiting for him to deliver orders.
Ma Xianglin looked at the neatly organized 19th Army. He suddenly felt heroic and issued an order: "The artillery regiment opens fire. The remaining troops are waiting for orders."
The flag carriers on the high platform immediately waved flags in the direction of the artillery regiment.
When a messenger received the military order, he also rode quickly towards the artillery regiment.
Liu Song, commander of the artillery regiment, has made all preparations. The entire regiment's artillery has adjusted its parameters and is ready to fire at any time.
He kept staring in the direction of the Chinese army, and when he saw the flag signal of preparing to fire, a smile appeared on his face.
The time has come for the artillery regiment to show off its skills.
Commander Liu Song quickly waited for the ordering troops to deliver Commander Ma Xianglin's order.
He accepted the military order and said confidently: "Commander, please rest assured, the Kuznetsk city defenses will be handed over to our artillery regiment."
Commander Liu Song then blew his whistle to attract the attention of all the artillerymen.
He picked up a small red flag in his right hand, waved it with his hand, and suddenly dropped it.
The officers of the artillery regiment all knew that this was the commander of the regiment giving a combat order-permission to fire artillery.
The 120mm caliber artillery and 155mm caliber artillery belonging to the artillery regiment immediately launched a fierce attack on the forts and other fortifications outside Kuznetsk.
Commander Liu Song waited until the smoke cleared to see clearly the tragic situation of the Russian fort outside the city.
A 155mm artillery shell can directly tear apart the Russian fort, and even the heavy artillery will be thrown out.
He said with satisfaction: "Everyone performed very well. According to this attack intensity, we called out the Russian army's forts one by one to reduce obstacles for the brothers' troops to charge.
When our artillery regiment takes care of the forts outside the city, we will pour all the shells on the city wall."
Commander Ma Xianglin put down his binoculars and smiled happily when he saw the performance of the artillery regiment on the battlefield.
"Okay, the fight was very good. The artillery of the artillery regiment was called out one by one.
Basically, two or three artillery shells can clear a Russian fort.
According to the current speed, our army will be able to completely clear the obstacles outside the city in just this afternoon."
Ma Xianglin is very satisfied with the performance of the artillery regiment. Artillery is indeed the king of war.
The forts outside the city built by the Russian army at great cost were quickly destroyed by artillery.
The Russian army was doing completely useless work before, and their knowledge of city defense has been eliminated by modern firearms.
Ma Xianglin was completely relaxed. There would be no big surprises in this war.
He looked at the guard cheerfully and said, "Bring me a few buns. I feel a little hungry, so I can cushion my stomach."
The guards knew that Ma Xianglin had not eaten breakfast. They carried a food box with them and immediately took out the buns from the food box and handed them to him.
Chief of Staff Su Cheng looked at Commander Ma Xianglin eating steamed buns and said regretfully: "The Russian troops in Kuznetsk are still too timid.
The artillery regiment gradually advanced with artillery, and now the 155 heavy artillery has suppressed the Russian troops on the southern wall of Kuznetsk.
The forts outside the city were also destroyed one by one by the artillery regiment.
The range of Russian artillery is too close, and our army has always been outside the range of Russian artillery.
The Russian army can only be beaten passively now, and they don't even have the ability to fight back.
I saw several forts that were so angry that they used muzzle-loading artillery with extremely backward technology to launch solid iron balls to attack us.
Didn't their artillerymen estimate the distance? Such a long distance is far beyond the range of these heavy artillery.
They don't even have the ability to get angry.
The Russian army will still be huddled in the city of Kuznetsk. Our army has completed clearing the outer forts, and the artillery on the city wall will be blown up by the 155 heavy artillery.
The Russian army will be unable to resist, and all the troops will be eaten by us."
Commander Ma Xianglin saw Chief of Staff Su Cheng's high-spirited look.
It's completely impossible to tell that he was a little worried about the war last night.
Today's battle situation was completely based on their previous war game deductions and they ran on the best path.
The Russian army did not put up any decent resistance at all, and only waited for the artillery regiment to remove all the Russian army's firepower points.
The Russian troops in Kuznetsk are like turtles in a urn, and they have no ability to resist.
Commander Ma Xianglin said with a smile: "Before today, I regarded the Russian army as an evenly matched opponent.
After today, I think the Russian army is not worthy of being our opponent.
The weapons used by the Russian army were backward, and the performance of the army was also very rigid.
I really can’t figure out who gave Russia the courage to provoke the empire.”
The two of them looked very relaxed, and neither of them talked about things on the battlefield.
Ma Xianglin occasionally issued several orders based on changes in the battle situation.
It can be seen that the current war situation is progressing very smoothly, and they do not need to focus their main energy on the ongoing war.
The main reason is that now only the artillery regiment can engage in firefights with the enemy.
The cannons were bombarding indiscriminately. This relaxing feeling only required Liu Song, the commander of the artillery regiment, to command on the battlefield.
When the sun reaches its highest point, even in Siberia, the sun in June is still very fierce.
In Dahua Military Camp, most of the soldiers were having lunch.
The artillery regiment was cheering, and Commander Liu Song shouted excitedly: "The last one, and the last one.
After destroying this fort, we will clear out all the forts outside Kuznetsk.
There are no more obstacles on our army's road to Kuznetsk."
As a huge roar sounded, the artillery regiment's firing rate slowed down.
All the forts outside Kuznetsk were destroyed by the Chinese army.
Even though the Russian troops outside the city were abandoned, they still completed their mission and blocked the Dahua army for half a day.
Commander Liu Song was so excited that he immediately sent someone to the Chinese Army to report the good news to Commander Ma Xianglin.
Commander Ma Xianglin has been using binoculars to observe the situation on the front line.
He saw that the forts outside the city had been destroyed one by one by the artillery regiment's artillery.
Now only the isolated city of Kuznetsk is left, facing the fierce artillery fire of the 19th Army.
Chief of Staff Su Cheng said happily: "I think we can now allow the army to tentatively attack Kuznetsk.
Without the harassment from the forts outside the city, even in Kuznetsk, it is a relatively complete bastion.
Relying only on the firepower of the Russian army in the bastion, they could not pose a threat to our army.
Our army's commandos wear body armor with steel plates.
As long as they are not hit head-on by Russian artillery, those old matchlock guns are basically unable to penetrate body armor."
Ma Xianglin thought for a while and said: "We still need to be more cautious now.
Now the war has moved in the direction that is most beneficial to our army.
Sooner or later, we will be able to enter Kuznetsk, and it won't be too late.
Let the artillery regiment reduce the scale of artillery strikes while covering the actions of other armies.
The artillery positions should move forward with the troops and continue to teach the Russian troops in Kuznetsk.
The artillery regiment fired at least 6,000 shells in the past half day.
If this consumption continues, our 19th Army will not be able to bear it."
Commander Ma Xianglin's order was quickly passed to the front line.
Commander Liu Song understood Commander Ma Xianglin’s orders very well.
Did he know that all of these dozens of heavy cannons were giant gold-swallowing beasts?
With cannonballs, they are truly the kings of war.
There are no cannonballs, not even a fire stick.
He ordered the artillery of the artillery regiment to move forward gradually in batches.
The artillery regiment also sent messengers to communicate with the troops on the front line, adjust the artillery parameters at any time, and support the troops attacking the city.
The 19th Army is directly affiliated with the Assault Regiment. They are the troops of the 19th Army that specialize in special warfare such as sieges.
This army is all elite soldiers, and their training is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.
As the leader of the assault regiment, Shi Maiyong immediately organized the entire regiment after receiving the order and launched an attack on Kuznetsk, which was defended by the Russian army.
He encouraged the soldiers of the assault regiment from the sidelines.
"Don't worry, everyone, we are wearing special body armor. As long as we are not hit by Russian artillery or hit by matchlocks, we will not suffer too much damage.
Don't be nervous before the war. Our regiment has simulated attacks on the Russian bastion many times, and we have always won more than we lost.
This time, with the help of friendly forces, we will definitely win."
Shi Maiyong looked up at the sky from time to time. The cannonballs flying in the sky fell on Kuznetsk from time to time, causing chaos on the city wall.
He knew that this was the artillery regiment and was assisting their regiment in their operations.
"By taking down Kuznetsk, we will gain unimaginable benefits.
Now our brothers from the artillery regiment are providing us with sufficient fire support.
Everyone must try their best to solve Kuznetsk."
Division commander Maiyong Heng thanked the artillery regiment, which had already run under the Kuznetsk city wall.
They have not yet been attacked by the main force of the Russian army. Only the Russian army has used scattered shooting holes to attack them.
The artillery regiment was so powerful that it directly blew up the Russian troops on the city wall, making them afraid to come out.
Captain Shi Maiyong looked towards Kuznetsk, they were about to climb to the top of the city.
