After Lu Chun's first attack failed, he also had a 10-point headache against the defense of the opposing Rakshasa Kingdom.
Lu Chun also admired the bravery of these Rakshasa soldiers.
Although I admire the opponent, the position still needs to be attacked. Since after the first shelling is completed, there are still Rakshasa soldiers on the opponent's position, it can only mean that the intensity of the bombardment is not enough.
"Transmit my order to concentrate firepower on the South Gate Rakshasa Kingdom position for the second artillery bombardment."
Following Lu Chun's order, it was once again conveyed to the artillery position.
The cannons on the artillery position that had just stopped for a while raised their muzzles again.
As the artillery school personnel entered the specific coordinates, the nearly five hundred cannons began to roar again.
This time the bombardment was different from the last one. This time the bombardment lasted for a full hour and a half, and the barrels of many cannons were red.
After the bombardment ended, Lu Chun launched a more violent attack than the last time.
This time, Lu Chun directly sent two regiments to launch a fierce charge at the position facing the Rakshasa Kingdom.
At the same time, there were two regiments, making detours on both wings of the Rakshasa Kingdom's position to support them.
At the same time, in order to seize the Rakshasa Kingdom's first line of defense in this attack, Lu Chun sent a large number of machine gunners to suppress the Rakshasa Kingdom's positions.
This time the attack was as easy as Lu Chun thought, and the soldiers in front quickly rushed to the first line of defense.
At this time, just like the last time, another group of Russian soldiers stood out from the trenches, holding rifles, and once again engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Lu Chun's Hunan army.
However, this time Lu Chun made it clear to the soldiers that he was determined not to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Rakshasa soldiers and would shoot immediately when he found the enemy.
This is why Lu Chun knew that his side's hand-to-hand bayonet tactics were not as good as the opponent's in the first attack, so he used his strengths to avoid weaknesses.
The soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom had no idea that this side had changed their tactics, and they still charged towards the Hunan Army soldiers with their rifles howling.
The soldiers of the Hunan Army learned well this time. When they saw the opponent rushing towards them, they immediately pulled the trigger on them and knocked down the soldiers in front with several consecutive bursts of fire.
The Rakshasa soldiers who rushed out to fight hand-to-hand with the Hunan army all fell in front of the position before they even got close to the Hunan army.
And these thousands of Hunan Army soldiers successfully occupied the first line of defense of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Lu Chun, who was behind the position, just nodded with satisfaction. Before he could be happy for a long time, he saw explosions suddenly coming from the position.
Lu Chun hurriedly picked up the telescope and looked forward. This sight only shocked him into a cold sweat.
It turned out that at the first line of defense, there were continuous explosions for unknown reasons, and the power of the explosions directly leveled the first line of defense.
Seeing this situation, Lu Chun bit his lip and bled. The enemy on the opposite side had obviously set a trap for him, and he happily ran into it.
However, even though he got up this time, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Feng Lei, the chief of staff next to Lu Chun, quickly reminded him when he saw this situation, "Commander, should we withdraw and take a rest?"
"We must not retreat. If we retreat, the soldiers who died on the battlefield will have died in vain."
Lu Chun thought for a while, and then issued an order, "Order the artillery to bombard the enemy's second line of defense, and send two more regiments up at the same time."
Chief of Staff Feng Lei nodded after listening to Lu Chun's words. He said: "The commander's judgment is correct. I think the Rakshasa Kingdom will launch a counterattack soon. They must not lose the first line of defense."
The reason why Chief of Staff Feng Lei said this is because on the outskirts of Changchun, the first line of defense facing Lu Chun is the strongest, and the first line of defense is also the deepest, which is conducive to defense.
At this time, the second line of defense of the Rakshasa Kingdom had already prepared more than 10,000 people. They were preparing to launch a counterattack against the first line of defense when Lu Chun's foothold was not stable and was blown to bits by the gunpowder packet.
.
As a result, just as these people were getting ready to set off, a harsh sound of "swish, swish, swish" sounded in the sky.
The veteran was very familiar with this sound. As soon as he heard the sound, he immediately crawled to the ground and started rolling around, trying to find a hidden bunker.
But many new recruits do not have this experience. They still look up to the sky to see what is happening.
As a result, a few seconds after the sound was heard, the artillery shells fell on the second line of defense of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
As the heavy artillery exploded one by one, clouds of black smoke rose in the air, followed by bricks and stones flying randomly.
The soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom who were preparing to counterattack soon were bombarded so much that they cried for their fathers and mothers.
When General Dmitry saw this situation, his teeth were almost broken, but he was very powerless.
Part of the artillery on the Rakshasa Kingdom's side had been destroyed in the initial artillery battle.
The remaining part has been hidden by Admiral Dmitry, which is prepared to be used in the final counterattack or when the position is in the most danger.
Therefore, in terms of firepower, the army of this Western power was actually much worse than the Qing people he looked down upon.
This round of shelling was much shorter and stopped after only 10 minutes.
It turned out that Lu Chun's purpose was not to cause damage to the enemy, but to use artillery to delay the enemy's counterattack so that his reinforcements could reach the first line of defense.
This goal was easily achieved. About six regiments of troops were already deployed on the first Russian defense line that Lu Chun had obtained.
According to Lu Chun, these nearly 10,000 people were enough to withstand the counterattack of 20,000 to 30,000 enemy troops.
After Lu Chun's arrangement was completed, General Dmitry reorganized the army and wanted to recapture the first line of defense.
Due to the lack of artillery support, these Russian soldiers could only bite the bullet and quickly approach the first line of defense in a skirmish line with rifles in hand.
And now the person in charge of the main engine at the first line of defense is Lu Chun's 7th Division of his direct troops.
The 7th Division was originally the 3rd Division of the Hunan Army, with Lu Chun as the division commander.
Later, the troops were reorganized and No. 3 was also changed, but the main force of the 3rd Division was privately concentrated by Lu Chun into the 7th Division.
Therefore, when launching the first attack on the first line of defense this time, Army Lu Chun pressed the treasure capital on his direct troops.
And this force did not disappoint him. In the continuous attacks, although it suffered heavy losses, it still occupied the first line of defense.
It is this force that is currently defending the line of defense.
As the commander of the 7th Division, Ye Guobing is currently lying in the trench, holding a Type 54 pistol in his hand, staring closely at the approaching Russian soldiers in the distance.
"Everyone, hold still and don't shoot for now. We'll fight again after these foreign devils are put in."
After Ye Guobing finished shouting, he said to a soldier next to him: "Xiao Shunzi, you can take aim. The only sniper rifle in our division is in your hand. Don't hit all the soldiers for a while.
Those who are officials are beaten."
The soldier known as Xiao Shunzi stared into the distance and said, "Don't worry, Commander, you don't know how smart I am. I'll give him at least seven or eight officers in a while."
"It's good for you kid to know."
The rifle in this Xiao Shunzi's hand is not an ordinary 56 and a half, but a Type 85 sniper rifle.
The Type 85 sniper rifle is a copy of the former Dragnov SVD sniper rifle.
During the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, the SVD used by the Vietnamese army was seized, so the trophies were used to carry out imitation designs. In 1979, the 1979-style 7.62mm sniper rifle was finalized. It was trial-produced and equipped with troops in 1981. It was mainly used for killing and killing.
A single important target at medium or long range.
It is generally called the Type 79 sniper rifle; during the war between the two mountains, some snipers of our army used it to create a sniper kill record of 1,300 meters (there is also a saying of 1,600 meters). Later, the gun was officially produced and finalized in 1985.
And renamed it as Type 85 sniper rifle.
This rifle was strongly recommended to Liu Hai by Zhang Tao, but Liu Hai's military qualities were, to be honest, somewhat poor.
He believed that with 56 and a half, he could conquer the world in the Qing Dynasty, so he didn't care at all that each of these sniper rifles was equivalent to dozens of 56 and a half.
In the end, for Zhang Tao's sake, he reluctantly imported 100 of them.
After returning to the Qing Dynasty, Liu Hai used 50 of them for storage and distributed the other 50 to various troops.
As Liu Hai's troops reached 500,000 to 600,000, the result was that each division could only have one or two Type 85 sniper rifles.
Therefore, the current Type 85 sniper rifles are hidden as treasures by the division commanders of each division, even if they are given a 122mm cannon, they will not be replaced.
The Rakshasa soldiers in front of the position were now quickly approaching the first line of defense, and soon they were close to a distance of 200 meters. When they got here, they no longer hunched forward, but crawled on their knees.
The ground kept moving forward.
Feng Lei, who was in the trench, saw this situation and cursed angrily, "Tmd, this foreign devil is really smart."
The soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom crawled forward for nearly fifty meters. When they reached this place, their physical strength was also greatly reduced, so it was time to lie down for the final charge.
"Everyone, pay attention. The foreign devils are about to stand up and charge. They are all ready for me. I will give an order soon. If anyone dares to cause me diarrhea, I will kill him on the spot."
Feng Lei shouted while staring ahead.
A few minutes later, Feng Lei suddenly raised his hand and shot the Rakshasa soldier at the front, and then shouted: "Hit me."
With Feng's command, gunshots rang out across the entire defense line.
The Rakshasa soldiers who were charging forward in front were immediately swept away in large numbers.
The Rakshasa soldiers who were not killed were just stunned for a moment, then roared forward and launched the final attack. But their attack was completely in vain.
Their charge encountered an unprecedented density of firepower. Whether it was the light and heavy machine guns of the 7th Division or the semi-automatics of the soldiers, they were constantly bursting into flames.
This battle lasted only about 20 minutes, and out of more than 10,000 attacking troops, 5,000 Tsarist Russian soldiers were killed.
The remaining people completely collapsed. They turned around and ran frantically down the mountain. However, their retreat caused them even greater casualties.
