A few dusky crows can always fly through the never-ending hail of bullets. They often bring bad omens to people, and then disappear into the grass.
When such a dusky crow flew over, the doctors and health soldiers at the field hospital affiliated to the 12th Division felt a gloomy feeling. The director and officers shouted loudly: "Hold your self-defense weapons, we will be ready at any time." There may be a fight!"
There were wounded lying on the ground everywhere. There were so many wounded that some of the lightly wounded had to be sent back to their combat units to reduce the burden on the field hospital. However, the field hospital itself had reached the limit of collapse and was not even used. When the Russians attacked, the entire hospital was unable to support itself.
All the medicines, except water and refined salt, have been almost used up. I don¡¯t even know where to get breakfast for the wounded tomorrow. Fortunately, the escorting infantry dragged back two horses that were shot to death from nowhere. The war horses had just taken care of today¡¯s meals, but the groans of the wounded were everywhere.
The dean is still handing out guns. No matter whether it is a good gun, a bad gun, a captured rifle or a rifle carried by the wounded from the battlefield, as long as he sees a person who can move, he will hand out a weapon: "Get ready." Fight!"
Many doctors and medical soldiers even breathed a sigh of relief because of the director's words. They simply could not handle so many seriously wounded people and could only watch the seriously wounded die hopelessly one after another. Now they can go to the battlefield and fight to the death. If so, that might be a good thing.
But just after hearing the gunshots from the north, they felt that this might not be a good thing. The total self-defense force of the entire hospital, including the sick and wounded who could pick up rifles, was only more than 130 people, and There are more than 400 seriously injured people here, and there are even more than 100 martyrs' bodies and 60 temporarily retained Qing army prisoners. With these doctors, health soldiers and guards who have never fired a few shots at ordinary times, I am afraid there is no need. The Russians attack. He collapsed first.
The dean himself was a little panicked: "Tell Commander Chen to quickly send an infantry company to cover us. We need cover!"
But the envoy sent out disappeared into the vast wilderness, and what came instead was a large group of Russian cavalry and infantry. When they saw the opponent's figure appearing on the battlefield. The infantry here have started shooting.
Soon, the double-headed eagle flag, the tricolor flag, and more Russian soldiers and Chinese coolies could be seen from the telescope. They obviously also discovered this large unit on the battlefield and saw so many field fortifications and simple wooden houses. , there were still several flags, and they immediately launched a tentative attack.
Although it was only a tentative attack, more than ten people were quickly killed or injured. If a few immobile veterans hadn't played a role at the critical moment, perhaps the entire field hospital would have fallen in this round of impact.
Even so, there were still seriously injured people in the entire field hospital shouting: "Give me a break, please, brother!"
"Brother, give me a good time!"
"I don't want to be a drag."
There were more groans. There were only fifty or sixty troops left in the dean's hands, and there was almost no power to maneuver: "We must make a painful choice. Prepare to break out!"
"Our wounded?" Someone immediately asked this critical question: "They"
¡°We can¡¯t hold on ourselves, so let¡¯s fulfill their wishes!¡±
Just when he said these words, the dean's tears fell: "No. If I stay, there may be some hope."
He also knew clearly that although he could stay, the fate of these wounded people could not be changed. Even the Russians could not have so many resources to protect these seriously wounded people: "Vice President Liu, from now on, You are the temporary commander of the army, I will stay"
Just then, a row of sharp gunshots suddenly came from over there, and the enemy troops who rushed to attack were driven back like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Then they saw a red flag.
"It's the Dragon Spear Regiment!"
Soon they discovered that two infantry regiments and several cavalry figures had appeared behind them. Judging from the flags, one was the famous Dragon Spear Regiment, and the other, although they couldn't figure out the number, was also from the First Division system. The unit is probably an old infantry regiment with six cross heads.
The appearance of two infantry regiments. The front line of the field hospital was quickly stabilized, and the director even made a trip. He came back with a face full of joy: "It's your Majesty, it's your Majesty. He has specially approved a hundred first-aid kits for us!"
In this situation, a hundred first aid kits are not of much use at all, but it is a thoughtful gesture at least. The officers and soldiers in the field hospital have restored their original morale: "Everyone, go to the battlefield and look for them.""Let's see if there are any dead horses that can be dragged back. Let's give the wounded extra meals Huh?" "
The expressions of the officers and soldiers suddenly turned pale. Although they had seen many big scenes, this was the first time they saw so many flags: "So many barbarian soldiers!"
In front of them were dozens or even hundreds of Russian army flags, including Cossack companies, some ordinary Russian army units, artillery companies, cavalry companies, and some new ones. The Chinese troops who returned were so vast that they formed a formation like a furious tide.
"How many barbarian soldiers are there? At least 20,000."
The dean¡¯s voice has become trembling: ¡°Get ready to defend His Majesty!¡±
Although he didn't know how many Chinese troops rushed to the battlefield, they were only two infantry regiments at most. In fact, he just met an old comrade. The two sides had a temporary conversation and concluded that this group was blocked. The Hong Army of Russian soldiers heading south was just a force based on four infantry battalions, and part of the force was used to block Ge Mengjin's troops who counterattacked from Jinzhou City.
There are only four infantry battalions, plus four cavalry companies, but His Majesty the Emperor and two army commanders are personally commanded. Dean Shen feels that his responsibility is particularly important: "We cannot retreat, we must protect His Majesty!"
On the opposite battlefield, 17,000 Russian troops have been fully deployed, which is almost half of Russia's mobilization of troops in the Far East. These soldiers who have traveled thousands of miles are also happily preparing for an assault.
"Russian soldiers, this is your best chance to become a general! Everything is ready, just waiting for you to take the step!"
Prince Constantine inspected his troops with the accompaniment of a military band. The soldiers wearing bearskin hats had high morale. They could defeat any target in front of them at any time. Their bayonets were sharp and their gun barrels had been cleaned several times. Every time, each artillery carried 200 artillery pieces, and the enemy troops on the opposite side came in such a hurry that they did not even have time to build field fortifications.
They just made temporary use of the terrain to build the simplest defenses. Just one impact, one brave attack, can break such a defense.
Prince Constantine suddenly jumped off the horse, and he kissed the ground: "Remember, this is the beautiful milk of Mother Russia, come with me and hit it!"
Impact!
Start the impact!
Attack forward!
Compared with the impact of thousands or even tens of thousands of Qing troops, the impact of the Russian army was a completely modern and European impact. The entire large army formed neat company phalanxes and battalion phalanxes one after another, with neat hollow phalanxes. Move forward slowly.
The steps were so powerful that standing in Liu Chang's position, he could feel an impact like a mountain and a sea: "Russia uses all its strength!"
"Yes!" Zhou Xiuying said beside him: "Even Zhang Lexing, an old man, was sent out."
Liu Chang thought that he would not think of Zhang Lexing except when he saw Du Jinchan, but he never expected that he would jump out and cause trouble for him again, but Zhang Lexing's ending was tragic.
He thought that his weight was about the same as that of Hong Xiuquan, so he directly went to find an infantry regiment adapted from the Nian Army in an attempt to instigate this infantry regiment to rebel. However, it turned out that he did not have the charm of Hong Xiuquan. Hong Xiuquan was from a cult, and throughout the whole The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the incarnation of God, and Zhang Lexing was just the leader of the Nian Army. As a result, more than a hundred people he brought were almost killed by the Nian Army with volleys. After he was captured, he was also directly killed by two companies from the Blue Flag. Long execution.
"Yes, I used all my strength!" Liu Chang looked at the queue of these gray military uniforms, watching them transform into columns and press over them.
This was really the most gorgeous formation he had ever seen. There were at least 20,000 troops, or even more. Their officers took the lead at the front, followed closely by the drummers of the military band, and the troops of the brigade. It seems to have become a human wall with activities.
Beside Liu Chang, there are only four infantry battalions and four cavalry companies. In addition, there are only a few mixed units of artillery and engineers. If it is purely a visual effect, this defense line seems like paper. Like a blur, the Russians' mountains and seas could break through the entire line of defense in an instant.
"Command the troops! Huh?"
Zhou Xiuying could see that Liu Chang was a little too excited. She grabbed Liu Chang's hand and said softly: "Order our cavalry not to go out without permission. Now is not the time to take prisoners."
"Thanks!"
Liu Chang regained his original confidence and said to Qu Jie: "Order the troops to shoot as much as you like!"
"Command the troops"?Have fun shooting!¡±
The queue of Russians is getting closer and closer. Many of them have tasted the suffering of Crimea and the suffering of Mini rifles, but today they are equipped with new weapons purchased from Britain, France and the United States. Mini rifles, they have absolute confidence that even if the British and French troops in Crimea are defending here, they can break through with a powerful impact.
What¡¯s more, it¡¯s just a paper line of defense in person.
¡°Every unit, let¡¯s shoot as much as you like!¡±
The Hong Army has already started the first round of shooting! . )
