The person currently in charge of Harbin's city defense is Rakshasa Major General Fyodor. This major general can be said to have reached his current status through connections.
When it comes to his commanding ability, his combat ability is almost equal to 0.
Therefore, this time Russia's commander-in-chief, General Dmitry, did not dare to keep him in the army as the chief officer, and in the end had to place him in the rear.
This completely disturbed the major general's mind. He left all the affairs in Harbin to his adjutant, but he himself could say that he was having a lot of fun!
Therefore, the more than 7,000 Russian troops currently stationed in Harbin are completely out of alignment.
Since even the pawns herded the sheep, they naturally had their own fun.
This time, the people of Harbin were unlucky. They were burned, killed, and looted by these Rakshasa bastards, causing a huge mess.
However, the loose military discipline of the Rakshasa Kingdom gave Liu Zhi an opportunity.
When Liu Zhi's tens of thousands of troops arrived dozens of kilometers outside the city of Harbin, the Rakshasa defenders in the city were unaware that there was a tiger lurking not far away from them.
After Liu Zhi arrived at the attack position, he found that the defense of Harbin City was too lax. First, no sentries were sent outside the city. Second, inside the city, the soldiers on the city walls were also very lax.
This surprised Liu Zhi. Originally, Liu Zhi had planned to use tanks to forcibly attack the city gate after arriving in Harbin.
It seems that it is no longer necessary now.
Therefore, Liu Zhi ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot immediately after dinner.
When it was about two o'clock in the evening, Liu Zhi called all the soldiers up and everyone arrived at their posts.
With an order, tens of thousands of soldiers, surrounded by more than 300 tanks, launched an attack on Harbin.
The defenders at the top of the city in Harbin thought they were in the rear, so their defense was very lax. At this late night, almost no one was blowing the cold wind at the top of the city. They all hid in secluded places and squinted.
Just like this, when the tanks arrived at the city of Harbin, there was no response from the city walls.
Since the other party was so lax, Liu Zhi would not be polite.
As the Type 59 tank in front fired a shot at the Harbin city gate.
The city's gates were immediately beaten to pieces.
It was only then that the Rakshasa Kingdom defenders on the city came to their senses and started running around in all directions, shouting loudly.
But no matter how they reacted, it was too late. As the city gate was opened, hundreds of tanks rushed into Harbin in a mighty manner.
As for the army of more than 20,000 people following the tank, after entering Harbin, these people divided into several groups. Some of them followed the tank's search, and some began to attack upward along the city wall.
As the soldiers attacked the city wall, the Rakshasa people on the city wall also reacted. They finally led the bunker to fire continuously at the bottom of the city tower, hoping to block Liu Haijun's attack on the city wall.
But their resistance was obviously in vain.
Each of these soldiers who followed Liu Zhi on his trek to attack were selected from hundreds of thousands of troops.
They followed the formation in training, each holding 56 and a half in their hands, each looking for a favorable position to avoid shooting on the city wall.
Then, taking advantage of the firepower, they began to suppress the Rakshasa soldiers on the city wall.
This time the difference in weapons between the two sides was revealed. Every time the Rakshasa country's rifle fired, it had to pull the bolt and reload the bullet.
The soldiers on Liu Hai's side could shoot five or six times faster than them, and they immediately suppressed the opponent until they could not lift their heads.
In this way, Liu Hai's soldiers covered each other and quickly rushed to the top of the city.
As soon as they entered the city, the opponent's condescending advantage disappeared immediately.
Therefore, the city wall of Harbin was quickly occupied by Liu Hai's side.
The battle inside the city was much more brutal.
Although Liu Zhi's sudden attack caught the opponent off guard, to be honest, these Rakshasa soldiers were really brave.
Although they were completely at a disadvantage in terms of firepower, they still shouted the slogan "Ula Ula" and charged forward with rifles in hand.
Although they were beaten down in rows, none of the Rakshasa soldiers retreated.
In this way, the two sides fought in the streets of Harbin from midnight to dawn.
When the sky brightened, the Hunan Army led by Liu Zhi had an even greater advantage.
Because the sky was getting brighter, the tank's advantages were fully utilized.
Liu Zhi's surprise attack force now uses tanks as the forerunners. When encountering a barricade, it fires a single shot. When encountering an obstacle, it fires side-by-side machine guns continuously.
And where have the Rakshasa soldiers on the opposite side seen such a steel monster? There was a white spot when the gun hit it.
Faced with such invulnerability, the Rakshasa soldiers soon began to collapse.
By noon, the troops led by Liu Zhi had completely occupied Harbin.
After the situation was basically stable, Liu Zhi began a large-scale manhunt in Harbin.
All Rakshasa nationals were rounded up and imprisoned, and all Rakshasa soldiers were sent to concentration camps.
However, at last count, Major General Feodor, the guard of Harbin in the Rakshasa Kingdom, had actually taken advantage of the chaos and escaped without a trace.
This is because the general has little skill in fighting, but is very good at escaping. When Liu Zhi's army attacked Harbin, he had already judged that Harbin could not be defended, so he secretly opened the city gate with his guards and fled to the north.
.
After a day of cleaning, Liu Zhizai finally had complete control of Harbin.
After the war ended, Liu Zhi began to inventory the supplies in Harbin.
This inventory made Liu Zhi extremely happy. It turned out that Harbin was almost the logistics supply base for the Rakshasa Kingdom to invade the Qing Dynasty.
The food and fodder accumulated here is enough for an army of 200,000 to last for a month.
In addition to these grains, there are also countless supplies of weapons and ammunition.
If Liu Zhi had not attacked Harbin unexpectedly, the Rakshasa troops in Changchun would have been able to fight a high-intensity war with Liu Hai's troops for a month with the supplies here.
After Liu Zhi completed the control of Harbin, he immediately sent a telegram to Lu Chun who was advancing towards Changchun.
The content of the telegram was very concise, "Harebin has landed."
After receiving the telegram, Lu Chun immediately understood what Liu Zhi meant. It was for him to advance quickly to hold back the troops in Changchun, preventing them from returning for reinforcements, and eventually being trapped and died in Changchun.
Then Lu Chun began to accelerate his march according to the planned plan, and soon arrived outside Changchun City.
When he arrived here, Lu Chun discovered that the Rakshasa troops facing him had dug a mess outside Changchun City, with countless trenches stretching for several miles.
Lu Chun frowned when he saw this situation. Although his side had the advantage in numbers and firepower, facing such a complete defense, if he wanted to attack, he would suffer huge losses.
.
Now, Lu Chun begins to miss the 300 tanks that Liu Zhi took away.
If he leaves fifty of these tanks, he will be sure to quickly tear apart the opponent's defense line.
But it's too late to say this now, and we can only overcome the difficulties we face.
Therefore, Lu Chun asked his soldiers to build simple fortifications, and after resting for a day, he began to attack the Rakshasa Kingdom defenders in front of him.
According to the combat strategy of Liu Hai's troops, the heavy artillery group was naturally the first to speak.
Hundreds of 122mm and 155mm heavy artillery began to concentrate on the positions outside the south gate of Changchun and launched an artillery bombardment.
As for the Rakshasa troops on the opposite side, the mobile firepower they possess is only 75mm-caliber artillery.
But this is no wonder. Currently, the Rakshasa Army’s land support firepower in Western countries is all about 75mm artillery.
Because now, due to materials and design reasons, the weight of artillery is very heavy. Those heavy artillery with a caliber exceeding 100 mm are 10 minutes slower in movement and cannot keep up with the marching speed of the army.
Not to mention how difficult it was for the Rakshasa soldiers to transport heavy artillery from the European continent to the Far East.
Therefore, faced with the bombardment of Liu Zhi's heavy artillery, the Rakshasa State artillery on the opposite side had no power to fight back.
General Dmitry of the Rakshasa Kingdom Expeditionary Force is currently on a high slope outside Changchun City, observing the opposite side with a telescope.
The more he looked at the general, the more frightened he became, wondering why the firepower of the whip kingdom opposite him had become so fierce.
Even in Europe, there are few troops capable of generating such firepower.
Faced with this situation, a wave of shadows arose in General Dmitry's heart.
Lu Chun's artillery fired for nearly half an hour, and finally stopped firing, and then the army began to charge.
Although the heavy artillery stopped, the firing of the light artillery never stopped.
These light artillery pieces are all 60 and 80 mm mortars. They keep moving forward with the soldiers, taking advantage of the light weight of the artillery and being able to evacuate at any time to help the soldiers and clear the fire points in front of them.
But the Rakshasa people on the opposite side were also unambiguous. Although the opponent's mortars kept falling near their trenches, the Rakshasa people still gritted their teeth, lifted out various heavy machine guns, and began to attack the opposite side.
Crazy shooting.
However, these heavy machine guns are almost always targeted by machine guns within a few shots, and then both the shooter and the machine gun are blown away.
Therefore, Lu Chun's offensive troops quickly approached the enemy's first trench.
Once here, the deep mortars did not dare to shell any more, otherwise they would also hit their own people.
At this point, the bravery of the Rakshasa Kingdom was fully demonstrated. They jumped out of the trenches with rifles and horses and engaged in a desperate hand-to-hand fight with the attacking Hunan Army.
This time the physical disadvantage of the Hunan Army was revealed. Although the Hunan Army had undergone rigorous bayonet fighting training, they were naturally at a disadvantage in terms of strength when facing the tall and powerful Rakshasa people.
Moreover, fighting with a bayonet requires courage. Once one's own side is at a disadvantage, courage will be lost, and then a retreat will occur.
Therefore, the Rakshasa people used their bravery to repulse the Hunan Army's first attack with bayonets.
