Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Judging from the name of Buying Street, we know that this must be a very prosperous street, but now it is a mess, with not more than a ghost.  Ever since the Russians came here.  They burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Many people hated the Russians deeply. Of course, traitors always existed.

    The Han name of Uli is Huang Man, and he belongs to the Zhenghuang Banner of the Manchu people. He was originally a hard-core farmer and lived a very leisurely life.  But once the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, there was no source of income. Fortunately, the Russians came over. Huang Man quickly relied on some information about Qin Ge's army and successfully defected to the Russians.  With the Chinese appearance of yellow skin, dark eyes, and black hair, it is much easier to find out information than Russian scouts.  Although I couldn't enter the position to investigate, I could still see the outline with the telescope.

    Andrew Jeff promised a lot of money to the Chinese who were willing to help Russia, because very few of the scouts sent out came back. The other side seemed to have hidden sentries everywhere, and they would shoot and kill the Russians as soon as they saw them.

    Andrew Jeff deployed 6 artillery battalions in Lishu Town, with a total of 76 artillery pieces of various sizes, ranging from 47mm rapid-fire cannons to 120mm cannons, both made in Germany and France.  Of course, most of the products are domestically produced.  The different calibers of artillery make it very difficult to supply. In particular, the shells of the 75mm guns made in Germany and France are very easy to be confused with the shells of the domestic 76mm guns, because the domestic manufacturers do not put any markings on the shells.

    Siping Town, directly south of Lishu Town, is the territory of the Chinese. The Chinese have deployed 30 artillery pieces in Siping Town. According to the description of the Chinese spies, they should be 77mm field guns produced in Hawaii.  Because of the vast plains in the Northeast, the Chinese's front line is very long, which is very beneficial to Andrew Jeff.  In the mountains to the east, the troops deployed by both sides are relatively small, because it is undoubtedly very difficult to launch an attack in the continuous mountains. Two machine guns are deployed on some parallel roads, which is simply a one-man defense against ten thousand people.  Don't open it.

    On June 1st, the roar of the engine covered up the chirping of cicadas, and airships slowly rose from various positions, and then flew towards the Russian positions opposite.

    The whole world knew that Qin Ge used an airship to parachute soldiers to kill the former ruler, the Empress Dowager Cixi. When the commander on the Russian position saw the airship flying towards him, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Oh, these yellow-skinned  Do monkeys want to airdrop our supply lines to our rear before soldiers? It's so funny. An airship can only hold about twenty people, and just these twenty people want to cut off our supply lines?  Hahahahaha"

    But unexpectedly, the airship only stopped for a while when it reached the position, and then flew back. Some soldiers fired at the airship, but they were stopped before two shots were fired. The bullets of the Mosinagan rifle were filled with black powder.  It does no harm to the airship several hundred meters above your head.  The airship stopped in the middle of the two sides' positions. The Russian laughed and said: "Hahahaha, it's broken! Look, it's broken!"

    On an airship, Hook was looking at a few lines of data written by observers and pressing the telegraph keys skillfully, and the telegraph machine made a sound of "didi, beep, beep".

    On the position, the data sent back by the airship was quickly handed over to the artillery commander.  After making calculations, the commander quickly directed the artillery to adjust the artillery elevation in preparation for launching an attack.

    Tiaobing Mountain is the general headquarters of the Fengtian Provincial Army. Chen Yu closed his pocket watch and said to Li Niu and Qin Sen: "Are your people ready?" Since no Russian troops had been seen taking action for a month, and the British and American  Neither country had time to look eastward, so Qin Ge decided to take the initiative.  In fact, in two or three days, Russian reinforcements will arrive at the front line. Andrew Jeff will definitely launch an attack by then, but Qin Ge can't wait. This has been delayed for a month. Who knows what the furry bear is doing?  gimmick, and, offense is the best defense.

    "You can attack at any time." Li Niu and Qin Sen said.

    "Okay, He Liang, go and send a telegram and ask all artillery units to shell the enemy's positions at the same time in ten minutes." Chen Zheng said.

    "Yes!" He Liang saluted and ran out of the cabin.

    Artillery positions in various places have been secretly moved forward two or three kilometers. At this time, the artillery positions are within the range of the Russian 100 and 120 mm guns, so the Russian artillery positions must be destroyed first.

    "Bah!" Li Ming closed his pocket watch and shouted: "Attention, everyone! Fire ten rounds quickly!"

    With the sound of artillery in one position, other artillery on the front also roared one after another. The artillery shells flew under the airship and accurately hit the Russian artillery positions, bunker fortifications or barracks.

    The person who was laughing at the broken airship was suddenly stunned.

    "What's going on!? Aren't we outside the range of the enemy's artillery? Did the enemy move the artillery position? Damn it! That airship is here for reconnaissance!" Tovey?The colonel suddenly realized that the enemy's airship was not broken, but was watching a show in the air!

    "There must be a radio on the airship. The Chinese are really luxurious!" Vitor thought to himself.  Then he pulled out his command knife and shouted: "Ula~~~~! (Ula has many meanings, here it means advance or charge)" In his dictionary, there is no word retreat.

    Colonel Leonidshak is sure that the Chinese on the opposite side have more than 30 artillery pieces deployed on the position. Look at the current offensive, at least 60 artillery pieces are needed to form it.

    "Damn it, our artillery is gone!" Lieutenant Colonel Vajim came over and reported.

    "Charge! Order the troops to charge forward!" Without artillery, rushing forward to exchange fire with the Chinese is the best option. Retreat?  Can you outrun the cannonball?

    The enemy's artillery positions were the focus of attention. Under the bombardment of hundreds of artillery shells, the unsuspecting artillery positions were plowed all at once.  However, many small-caliber guns were unharmed because they were not placed in artillery positions.

    Although they were under artillery fire, the Russians did not panic and formed a queue and began to advance towards the artillery fire.  But soon the Russian officers discovered that the Chinese's artillery shells seemed to be endless, and it was not a normal configuration at all.  Generally speaking, an artillery gun is equipped with about 30 rounds of ammunition, but now with the roaring and incessant explosions in the sky, even people nearby could not hear the commander's orders.  Moreover, every three or four minutes, the enemy's artillery can carry out a precise strike. Leonidshak knew that it was because the airship above reported their position, so he had to order to spread out and advance.

    What does it mean to bloom everywhere?  This is blooming everywhere!  In just ten minutes, the artillery positions on the front fired a total of nearly 30,000 artillery shells. According to the cost price of one artillery shell of 3 US dollars, nearly 100,000 taels of silver were fired in just ten minutes, not including transportation costs.  .  Thirty thousand taels may seem like a lot, but compared with the Navy's monthly consumption, it is nothing. The maintenance cost of a Wahu-class protected cruiser is more than this amount.  Moreover, these nearly 10,000 shells destroyed a lot of Russian artillery, and at least killed and injured more than 5,000 Russian troops. It was all worth it.
