Surrounding the Cossacks was Jinchang's Yuzi Battalion, which was not only equipped with eight Hotchkiss heavy machine guns, but also twelve artillery pieces. The Tsarist Russian cavalry underestimated the enemy and rushed in without any preparation. Under layer upon layer of siege, they quickly collapsed and gave way to the Li cavalry.
The 2nd and 3rd brigades not far away were unable to advance or retreat.
The commanders of the 2nd and 3rd brigades quickly received orders from Lieutenant General Alexeev to go north for support at all costs. The Chinese only had seven battalions of indigenous troops at the entrance of the camp. He did not believe that they could kill their own army.
At this time, the lieutenant general had doubts about the intelligence he had received. Where did the Chinese aborigines who surrounded the Cossacks escape from?
The Second Brigade and the Third Brigade quickly broke through the Chinese defense line after moving north, and merged with more than a thousand cavalry who were surrounded. The victorious Tsarist Russian army continued to move north, attacking the Chinese strangers who surrounded the First Brigade, and lost several
A hundred men later opened the gap and rescued the first brigade, which had been surrounded for several hours.
Under the crazy attack of the Chinese, only more than 2,000 people were left in the first brigade, but the combat effectiveness was still there. The three Tsarist Russian forces that successfully merged had no idea that when they thought they could defeat the Chinese army's obstruction all the way, a larger
The encirclement has been closed, and nearly 80,000 Chinese troops have surrounded them.
There are only 58,000 Chinese players and NPC troops, but there are still more than 5,000 horse bandits who went north with Chen Hao and have not joined the army. These bandits are still under the command of a group of bandit leaders, but they do not have a regular army establishment.
After encircling the first brigade of the Shaodeng Army, Jinchang immediately contacted various civilian anti-Russian groups in Haicheng. A large number of civilians and horse bandits swarmed to Dongchang Fort, and the total Chinese troops in Dongchang Fort reached 80,000.
Wu Peifu tempted the Tsarist Russian army to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, mainly because he was afraid of the sharp Russian artillery. The Tsarist army had a total of seventy-eight artillery pieces. If the artillery followed the main force and moved steadily, even if it was surrounded with twice the force, it would not guarantee victory.
Because Alexeyev received wrong information, he sent the First Brigade to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. Later, in order to support the First Brigade in countering the encirclement of the Chinese players, he sent the Second Brigade, the Third Brigade and the cavalry to go north. Lieutenant General Wu Peifu made a series of mistakes.
There was an opportunity to contact various armies to annihilate the Russians.
Scattered horse bandits or militia groups have very low combat effectiveness, but they are still useful in helping to fight against the wind during encirclement. Wu Peifu methodically commanded the 80,000-strong army to gradually compress the encirclement. It would be difficult for the surrounded Russian army to break through without artillery and heavy weapons.
There are more than 27,000 troops surrounded by Tsarist Russia, and their retreat has been cut off by players. The ones responsible for cutting off the retreat are 24,000 players led by Xuanyuan Jian and 14,000 players led by Lin Xiaofeng. Thirty-eight thousand players have deployed
There are three layers of defense. If the position on the first layer is captured, it will immediately take a detour to join the defense after Dongchang Fort is resurrected.
The combat effectiveness of the Tsarist Russian NPC army cannot be underestimated. Only this method can ensure that the Russian army will not break through. It was difficult for Chen Hao to order Xuanyuan Sword to death for the first time when they cooperated, so he gave the order to Lin Xiaofeng first.
Seeing the embarrassment on his face, Xuanyuan Jian said straightforwardly: "Tsarist Russia has 26,000 troops, and they are all elite soldiers. The players you recruited, Chen Baxian, can't guarantee defense even if they hang several times. It's better for me to lead the players together to intercept the Russians."
Get out of the way!"
Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."
Xuanyuan Jian turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence: "This is not your battle alone. Every player participating in the mission wants to fight to the death with Lao Maozi, otherwise it will be useless if you and I are willing to fight and they don't want to."
.”
More than 30,000 players cut off the Russians' southward retreat. Chen Hao gathered the horse bandits who followed him north, plus all his elite battalions, led by Jinchang south to harass Alexeyev's center.
General will lead the 4th Brigade and Artillery Battalion.
Jinchang has 3,000 cavalrymen under him, and his special skill is also related to the cavalry, "Cavalry Cyclone". With a commanding score of 72, he has no problem commanding 10,000 people. Chen Hao has 8,000 cavalrymen, plus Jinchang
A cavalry force of 3,000 and 11,000 men was enough to give the Russians a headache.
Lieutenant General Alexeyev was accompanied by the Fourth Brigade and Artillery Battalion, totaling more than 6,000 people. After the Chinese cavalry appeared, the Lieutenant General immediately commanded the defense. The Tsarist Russian NPC troops were far more elite than the Chinese army, whose main force was horse bandits.
There were a large number of artillery, and the cavalry could not do anything after setting up defensive positions.
Jinchang led the cavalry to wander around the troops led by Lieutenant General Alexeyev, neither launching an attack nor leaving. The lieutenant general soon knew the opponent's plan. If so many cavalry attacked with a large number of heavy machine guns and
The artillery troops suffered heavy losses, but if they commanded the troops to march by themselves, it would be a tragedy for the ten thousand cavalry to cover them up from behind.
If they do not march and cooperate with the main force, the three brigades and the cavalry, which lack heavy weapons, are likely to be completely annihilated by the Chinese if they are surrounded. In that case, the subsequent landing force led by the lieutenant general will become a lone force and have to return to the port and wait until
A warship rescues you, but if you are chased by cavalry during the retreat, you will also suffer heavy losses.
Lieutenant General Alexeyev ordered the Fourth Brigade to leave two battalions for defense, and the main force continued to move north. This time he led tens of thousands of troops to land and fight. If the more than 20,000 troops that had gone north were completely wiped out, the Lieutenant General would become
Laughing stock. If the 4th Brigade and the artillery battalion rush to Dongchang Fort and attack the Chinese army from both sides, this is the only way to rescue the Deng Army.
The mobility of the cavalry was much better than that of the infantry. Jinchang ignored the two battalions left by Lieutenant General Alexeyev, but led the cavalry to attack the Russian Fourth Brigade from the side in a roundabout way.
Lieutenant General Lekseyev was well prepared. He ordered the machine gun company to set up defenses. Under the fierce fire from the heavy machine guns, the Chinese cavalry abandoned dozens of cavalry and retreated.
Lieutenant General Alexeyev was not happy. The Chinese made it clear that they just wanted to harass. They marched so slowly that the yellow flowers and grass were cold after arriving at Dongchang Fort. If the three brigades that were surrounded at that time were all
It was impossible for the fourth brigade and artillery battalion led by Lieutenant General to return to the port for rescue.
Lieutenant General Alexeyev could only bet now that the three besieged brigades could hold on and it would be best if they could break out of the encirclement on their own. Stopping along the way, when he finally heard the sound of artillery coming from Dongchang Fort,
Under the harassment of the Chinese cavalry, the Fourth Brigade lost more than a thousand people.
The two battalions that Alexeyev arranged to break up were also detoured and eaten by the Chinese cavalry. Now the fourth brigade has less than 3,000 men left. Although the 2,000-man artillery battalion has dozens of artillery pieces,
Facing the enemy's highly mobile cavalry, which is harassed from all sides, it cannot exert its power. It can only hope to be effective after arriving at the battlefield of Dongchang Fort.
Dongchang Fort is located on the east bank of the Liao River. After the surrounded three brigades and cavalry of Tsarist Russia failed to break out to the south, they began to attack desperately to the west. Under Alexeyev's order, Tsarist Russia's river vessel force
Captured Taipingbao and prepared to meet the surrounded Tsarist Russian troops.
The strangers led by Xuanyuan Jian and Lin Xiaofeng were fortified on the river bank, not only to resist the Tsarist Russian breakout troops, but also to guard against machine gun fire from the Tsarist Russian gunboats on the inland river. Chen Hao handed over his only seven guns to Zhu Ke's command.
Artillery positions were set up on the river bank to bombard Tsarist Russian gunboats traveling on the Liao River.
Jinchang's Yuzi Camp also has more than twenty cannons, but they have to shell the enemies in the encirclement and cannot reinforce the Liaohe River side. The seven cannons under Chen Hao are too few, and they are all small-caliber artillery, which poses a great threat to the enemy.
Limited. Chinese players suffered heavy losses due to machine gun fire from gunboats on the Liao River. Some players have already died twice.
After being resurrected, every player rushed to the defense line immediately and guarded the river bank to prevent the enemies in the encirclement from escaping. Fortunately, with the cooperation of the Yuzi Camp and a large number of militia bandits, the Russians in the encirclement lacked heavy weapons.
The level of attrition far exceeded that of the Chinese players. Seeing the Russian soldiers fall in front of the position one by one, the Chinese players felt that it was all worth it.
The battle lasted for ten hours. Only more than 2,000 Tsarist Russian troops were left surrounded. The fourth brigade and artillery battalion led by Lieutenant General Alexeyev finally arrived on the battlefield. The lieutenant general ordered the artillery.
Immediately set up camp and prepare to bombard the Chinese players who have set up defenses on the river bank to open a passage for the surrounded troops.
Some artillery battalions in Tsarist Russia have seventy-eight artillery pieces. Once they start shelling the Chinese players, they will suffer heavy losses. It is not worth it for more than 2,000 Russians. Jinchang ordered the siege to be released, allowing the surrounded Russians to break out of the siege and meet with Alek.
Troops led by Lieutenant General Sheyev converged.
After successfully rescuing the surrounded troops, Lieutenant General Alexeyev was not happy. The cavalry was completely wiped out. The first, second, and third brigades only had more than 2,000 troops left. Even after they were combined, there were only six
How could more than a thousand people escape from the siege of nearly 100,000 Chinese troops?
In desperation, the lieutenant general gave up the plan to return along the way, ordered artillery to bombard the river bank, and at the same time sent a message to all the inland river gunboats to rescue along the Liao River. The lieutenant general led the troops and just started to break out, when more than 10,000 Chinese cavalry appeared in his sight.
This time the cavalry did not test the attack. Facing the fire net composed of heavy machine guns, the cavalry launched a desperate charge towards the Tsarist Russian artillery battalion.
After suffering more than 800 casualties, the Chinese cavalry rushed into the Russian artillery position. Lieutenant General Alexeyev closed his eyes in pain.
Without the threat of heavy machine guns and artillery, Chinese players swarmed up and launched a fierce attack on the retreating Tsarist Russian army. Whether they were NPCs or players, whether they were regular troops or horse bandits, they were all crazy at this moment. Facing Tsarist Russian gunboats
Crazy shooting, players launched a desperate charge, the Russian troops waiting to retreat on the river bank continued to fall, and the Chinese side also lost a lot of people.
After Chen Hao led the cavalry to occupy the Russian artillery position, he immediately ordered Zhu Ke to command his gunners to turn the muzzle to bombard the gunboats on the Liao River. After a while, Jinchang's artillery battalion also arrived at the Russian artillery position. Thirty
Many cannons roared, and Russian warships were quickly sunk in the Liao River. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
