Chapter 405 Blood-stained Ilzkuk 5

In the narrow passage, Tao Meng was like a cheetah. He kicked open the closed door like lightning, and at the same time threw the already prepared grenade in. When he had just hid along the wall, the violent explosion formed a huge shock wave, with countless debris rushing out of the door and hitting the opposite wall.

Before the smoke dissipated, he pulled out his pistol and rushed into the room.

At this moment, a silver light suddenly rushed out of the corner of the wall. He didn't expect that there were still remnants in the room, but he could not dodge at such a close distance. He could only flash his waist to avoid the key points, and at the same time, he pulled the trigger with his fingers.

In the sound of shooting, Tao Meng only felt a sharp pain in his waist and eyes, and a dark shadow suddenly climbed on his body.

Before he could see what this guy did, he was stabbed by a grenade, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him again.

I couldn't help thinking that he suddenly turned around with the dead body in his arms. As soon as he exposed the back of the body to the door, the three Russian soldiers attracted by the explosion had already killed him with bayonets.

"Fuck you grandma!"

Tao Meng's eyes turned red. He only saw three bayonets pierced the back of the dead body almost at the same time, and his heart suddenly shivered. If he hadn't turned around with the body in his clever arms, he would have been stabbed into a hornet's nest long ago.

After raising his hand and knocking down the guy on the left with the last bullet, he suddenly pushed the body to the remaining two people. With his backhand, he pulled out the three-edged bayonet in his waist and plunged into the chest of one of the guys through the armpit of the body.

When the last Russian soldier saw that both of his partners were killed, his eyes suddenly turned red, just like a polar bear that had been furious. He even forgot to shoot and rushed to the ground with Tao in his arms.

The sharp pain on his waist made Tao Meng unable to use all his strength, and he also admitted that if he really wanted to compare his strength, the two themselves were not necessarily the opponents of this bull-like guy, but don't forget that there was a special national art instructor in the reconnaissance camp. They were all famous martial artists in the Qing Dynasty before.

What the ancestors left behind is not to win by force, but skill is the real key!

After the Russian soldier angrily crushed his opponent to the ground, he waved his fist to give him a few times, but he didn't expect that Tao Meng, who could not move, suddenly hit his knee.

I only heard the sound of something breaking. The fists of the three thick Russian soldiers seemed to be frozen, and their faces were almost purple. After a while, they suddenly rolled away from Tao Meng and screamed with their hands.

Tao Meng quickly took a few breaths, rolled out the three-edged bayonet on the ground, and scratched his neck with a pig-killing howl. Suddenly, the blood was like a spring, splashing all over his face.

Seeing that he finally killed the last enemy, he could breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly, there were footsteps outside the door, which really scared him. The rabbit's fight just now has long exhausted all his strength. What's more, he was stabbed on his waist, so he could only hold a long three-edging bayonet and lean against the wall. On the wall, he gasped and waited for the last moment to come.

"Tao Meng, are you all right!"

Just as he condensed his last strength and was ready to do another fight, a familiar voice came from the door, as if he had heard the sound of nature. He let go of the three-edged bayonet and smiled bitterly, "Damn it, you wouldn't have come earlier. I almost hung up!"

"Hehe."

"If you die, our battalion commander will definitely set off firecrackers to celebrate a disaster." His comrade-in-arms quickly put down the gun and quickly ran to Tao Meng's side. Seeing that his waist was still bleeding, he immediately tore open his clothes, took out a roll of gauze from his pocket, folded a few layers before sprinkling some golden sore medicine on it, and then pressed it on the wound fiercely.

The severe tingling made Tao Meng take a breath, and even sweat oozed from his forehead. After his comrade-in-arms quickly tied a circle of gauze around his waist to fix the gauze, he smiled and said, "Come on, I guess you must go to Cullen to rest this time. It's fucking lucky. I've waited a few times and haven't been sick."

"Sick? It's not comfortable for you to find it! Why are you sick?" Tao scratched his head, and he was out of date? There are still guys who don't look forward to finding a good illness these days!

"Good guy, four." His comrade-in-arms kicked the body, picked up the pistol he had left behind with a smile, replaced it with a new magazine and handed it to Tao Meng. Then he blinked his eyes and said mysteriously, "Tao Meng, don't you know? There are a lot of female college students in the field hospital this time. It is said that they are all very beautiful, so everyone is eager to get sick recently!"

This is also good!

Tao Meng's face was black. What kind of people were they? He said angrily, "That's simple. Just find a Russian guy to get a knife."

"Bah!" The comrade-in-arms helped Tao Meng up and walked out. He didn't forget to say, "Getting a knife is what stupid people do, and I don't have the ability to avoid the key points. In case there are less bits and pieces, how can I find my little daughter-in-law in the future?"

"Yan!"

With the corners of his mouth, Tao Meng drew his middle finger. Since the emperor invented this contemptuous gesture, it has become popular in the army. After walking for a while holding the cold granite wall, he found that the explosion outside seemed to be much smaller. He couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Don't fight?"

"What a fart, it's almost dawn. I guess the four you killed are the last batch. Now the second regiment has come up, and even the artillery is coming here."

With the help of his comrades-in-arms, Tao Meng drilled out of a gate and only felt that his eyes were suddenly open. The damaged fortress was full of soldiers with live ammunition. A trace of fish from the East had come out stubbornly. At this time, he found that he had fought with the reconnaissance company all night.

"Good boy, I heard that you knocked down seven Russian soldiers. How about that? The injury is not serious.

Tao Meng just found a big stone that he didn't know where it blew up from. He was ready to smoke a cigarette to relieve his fatigue. He heard a sound of condolences behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was the teacher, and quickly prepared to get up and salute.

"Sit down, you don't have to salute." Duan Qirui quickly pressed Tao Meng on the stone and said with a smile, "Well, it looks okay. You can come back after going to Cullen to rest for a few days."

"I just heard them say that you killed seven Russian soldiers alone. That's good, that's good!"

"Ha ha." Tao Meng scratched his head. He was not used to the master's praise. He didn't know how to answer. He just giggled all the time. Suddenly, he was so angry that the commander of the reconnaissance battalion kicked it, but the corners of his eyes were still a little proud. He smiled and scolded, "You coward, what are you giggle!"

"Take good care of yourself. I'm still waiting for you to come back early."

"Yes, Master."

Finally, after patting Tao Meng's shoulder, Duan Qirui continued to walk forward with a deep and shallow foot. Looking around, the granite walls were full of traces of blood and bullets, and the explosion craters and holes could be seen everywhere. The bodies had been lying everywhere from the inside out, including both Russian soldiers and their own soldiers. One of the soldiers even hugged two Russian soldiers before he died. Judging from the traces of the explosion on the ground, he pulled the grenade at the last moment when he was caught by the two. If the charred body was not a military uniform, he might not even be able to distinguish who was who.

This was a bloody night. As many as 2,300 Russian soldiers stationed on Hill 101 and almost at the same time as the reconnaissance camp were annixed. If you count the previous ones, a total of 4,700 Russian soldiers paid their lives to fight for this small bunker on the flank, and they also paid for the two-day attack. Seven hundred and eighty-eight people were killed and four hundred and seven were injured, including 29 veterans of the elite reconnaissance company.

This is a price of toughness, and the war is not over yet. Looking down from the fort, the Irkutsk fortress has been completely exposed. As long as the cannon is set up here, the whole Irkutsk will be reduced to a sea of fire.

"Report, the first three battalions of the 5th Cavalry Division have arrived."

Soon, Duan Qirui saw the battalion commanders of the three leading battalions of the Fifth Cavalry Division who came to support him. The three battalion commanders were also excited by this tragic scene. After seeing him, he immediately saluted and said, "The first battalion of the fifth division, one battalion, the second battalion, the second regiment and the first battalion were ordered to come to reinforce. Please give instructions from the officer."

"It must be very hard to travel all night, right?"

The battalion commander of the regiment led by

glanced around and said, "Thank you, Master Duan, for your concern. We are just on our way. It's too far from you."

"Hehe, it's not over yet." Duan Qirui waved his hand and asked the three people to sit down and immediately asked, "Did the headquarters tell you the purpose of your visit?"

"The order is to support the 6th Infantry Division and cut off the reinforcements from Angarsk!"

"Hmm." Duan Qirui nodded and continued, "This is the information we just received. Two thousand Gossack cavalry and five thousand infantry have arrived 20 kilometers north of Irkutsk. If the speed is fast, you may see them in a while, so how are you going to fight?"

"Face the enemy head-on!" The three battalion commanders said almost in unison.

"Front?" Duan Qirui narrowed his eyes and said, "There are 2,000 Cossack cavalry and 5,000 infantry in it, and you only have 3,000 people!"

"Report to Division Chief Duan, we are just coming for them. The Russians are about to blow the Cossack cavalry into the sky. This time we will let him taste the strength of my big knife!" The battalion commander of the regiment and battalion patted the thick knife on the waist and said confidently.

"Good, time is tight. I don't want to tell you how to fight, but after all, there are 5,000 infantry there. In order to be safe, I will send eight armored vehicles in the division to act with you. In addition, you should remember that if you can't win, don't do it recklessly. The main thing is to cut off and prevent them from leaning over."

"Yes."

The battalion commander of the first battalion and the other two battalion commanders quickly got up and walked out. With the big knife on his back, he suddenly made a jingling sound. Duan Qirui was also curious about why someone used such a thick-backed gossip knife. He couldn't help asking, "That's right, don't you know your name?"

"Report Master Duan, my name is Han Muxia." Han Muxia stood up and said his name. After introducing the two battalion commanders around him, he walked out of the camp.

When the three of them walked out of the camp, the cavalry who were resting outside suddenly stood up, and almost all three thousand eyes were focused on him.

"Join the horse, get ready to go!"

While the three battalion commanders turned over the horse, more than 3,000 cavalry were neatly like a person and jumped on the horse at the same time. Duan Qirui couldn't help sighing that the 5th Cavalry Division really had two brushes. With this alone, I'm afraid it would not lose to the previous four main cavalry divisions.

As the cavalry lined up, everyone found that the cavalry battalion soldiers behind Han Muxia were as thick-backed knives as their battalion commanders, and a wisp of red rope on the handle of the knife floated with the flattery.

More than ten minutes later, when three cavalry battalions and eight night owls quickly passed through the junction of Hill 101 and Irkutsk Fortress under the cover of artillery fire, there was already a fire behind them.

Han Muxia turned his head and looked at it. He only saw dozens of fireballs spewing out on Hill 101. After occupying the geographical advantage, the artillery could hit the shells anywhere in the Irkutsk fortress almost without aiming. When the smoke gradually enveloped the whole Irkutsk, the loud charge sounded all over the sky. Empty.

The most critical fortress battle has finally begun!

Countless soldiers, bathed in the golden dawn, rushed in from the blown gap under the cover of gunfire all over the sky.

The competition unfolds from every bunker and every channel. Most of the time, the soldiers on both sides are fighting with guns pointed at the muzzle!

Although the battle in broad daylight was much better than last night, when he saw thousands of cavalry advancing north under his own eyes, Martinov knew that he could no longer believe the reinforcements. After there was no way out, he burst out with the greatest courage and personally rushed to the front line with the guards.

The colonel's courage inspired the Russian soldiers in the fortress. The Russian army, which was called barbaric and uncivilized by Western European countries, completely broke out. They guarded almost every inch of land in the fortress.

In the face of the last madness of the Russian army, all the soldiers of the Sixth Division did not show weakness. The bayonet was soaked in blood and tit for tat. At this time, grenades and flexible light machine guns almost became the biggest nightmare of the Russian army, and countless soldiers fell under their tyranny.

After Maltinov knocked down a Xinhua soldier who was killed in an oblique stab with a pistol, he felt a sharp pain in his back before turning his body. When he shook his body and turned his head, he found that another Xinhua soldier with a bayonet and blood had been hanged with his guards.

He held the wall hard until he died. He didn't understand why the reinforcements had walked for a day and a night without arriving--

"Captain Zoff, don't worry, the fortress of Irkutsk is not so easy to fall. Listen to the sound of the cannons, the [***] team must have been blown into pieces by the cannons of the fortress, and we won't gain much if we rush over." Jomakov sat on horseback, talking and laughing with the Cossack cavalry chief, as if turning a deaf ear to the thunderous gunfire in the distance.

Behind him, there were 5,000 loose-shaped infantry, but the 2,000 Gossack cavalry on the side were still neat and walked to the fortress. In fact, no one believed that the fortress would fall in a few years, so no one realized that the danger was in front of them.

Captain Zoff nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something mixed in the sound of thunder. When he suddenly raised his head, his face suddenly turned white, and he only saw a roll of dust on the horizon.

Cavalry, only the cavalry charge can bring such a big cloud of dust and smoke!

There are no cavalry in Irkutsk Fortress at all, and there is no second friendly cavalry in this area, so there is only one answer left. This is the enemy's cavalry!

The enemy's cavalry can actually appear behind the fortress. There is only one possibility. Those roaring cannons are the enemy's! The experienced Captain Zov immediately pulled out his rifle and shouted, "Major Chomakov, take your troops to set up a blocking line!" After saying that, he waved his rifle and shouted, "Cossack warriors, the enemy is in front of you. Don't give them any chance!"

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

The elite Cossack cavalry in a black cloak swept through the infantry like a hurricane, but many people did not pull out their rifles, because almost all the cavalry did not like to use rifles. It was difficult to control the accuracy of the rifles in the rapid impact, and if they wanted to shoot steadily, they had to stop. The cavalry that stopped at all It's the target!

This is a difficult problem, and the Cossack generals are also very clear, so they need a large number of quick-fire revolvers, but Nicholas II and his army ministers don't think so. They think that rifles are more powerful, so they insist that Cossacks must be equipped with rifles, which can't be guaranteed in all armies. Next, it is not realistic to equip a revolver, so many Cossack cavalry did not pull out their rifles at all at this time, but pinched the "eagle's claws" that the world was afraid of.

It was not until the Cossack cavalry gradually went far away that Jomakov woke up, but he was just a small aristocrat who came to the army gilded through the back door. He didn't know how to form a sniper line against the cavalry at all, so he cleverly lined up the infantry according to the ancient three-stage shooting method of the fire rope gun.

Unlike Captain Zoff, although Han Muxia doesn't like rifles, he has more choices. The rich Emperor Li has never treated the soldiers in terms of equipment, so after hearing that the cavalry prefer the Mauser shell gun, he immediately carried out a large number of imitation equipment, and now he has achieved a cavalry man.

So after seeing the enemy, Han Muxia suddenly pulled out the barge gun with his left hand. After firing three shots into the sky, he suddenly pulled out a thick-backed knife with his right hand. The tip of the knife quickly shook out a knife flower in the air and shouted, "Big knife camp, kill!"

Three shots, one knife flower, which is a unique charge signal for riding the five divisions, one regiment and one battalion. This cavalry battalion with a thick back machete has a nickname "big knife camp" in the fifth division, because when they charge, the snowy blade always brings a cold light when dancing, so this kind of one shot, one knife is almost It has become their mark.

"Big knife camp, kill!"

"Kill!"

In the shouting of the sky, the two cavalry collided together like a rolling tide. The bullets and knives shuttled between each pair of soldiers. The cavalry' charging speed was very fast, often refreshing and exciting.

When the two cavalry crossed each other like a tide, the grass in the center was already full of dead bodies. Zoff and the left and right Cossack cavalry had no time to turn back and fight again, and their eyes suddenly straightened.

I saw eight strange iron box-like armored vehicles suddenly appear in front of me. When they were found, eight long fire tongues had already spewed out on the roof of the car. Countless bullets swept through the panicled Cossack cavalry like a rainstorm. Whether it was soldiers or horses, as long as they were swept by them, they were all human. The horses are broken.

The violent wild cats grinned and didn't care what was in front of them at all. The machine gunners trembled excitedly. They had never seen so many targets without any protection that could be shot by themselves.

Zofu stared at the eight wild cats sweeping his team through his team like an autumn wind, and blood oozed from his eyes. When a bullet passed through his chest, he suddenly waved the handle of the "eagle's claws" that had made the world tremble, but the high cavalry knife was not waved again in the end.

"Kill!"

After chiseling through the sword battalion of the Cossack cavalry, there was no sign of stopping at all. After handing over the work of dealing with the remnants of the Cossacks' enemy to the left and right brother battalions, Han Muxia had already rushed into the already frightened Russian infantry with everyone.

The blood, limbs and heads were taken to the sky by the blade. Markov's sniper line was not so much to stop the cavalry as to give the big knife camp a chance to kill!

The dense infantry formation makes the cavalry need to think about it at all. As long as they keep waving the big knife, each wave will take away a life.

In just ten minutes, when the knife battalion killed a Russian infantry and turned around, it found that the whole grass was full of corpses. The blood slid from the faces of the soldiers, slid along the sleeves to the back of the knife, and then fell along the tip of the knife.

The whole knife camp was like drilling in a sea of blood. When they sniped the horse again and controlled the horse step by step like a bloody Shura in the sun, Markov, who was scared, did not hesitate to throw away the pistol and raised his arms.

On August 9, after three consecutive days of fighting, the 6th Infantry Division finally paid the sacrifice of 2,400 people and more than 1,000 injuries, conquered the Irkutsk fortress in one fell swoop and opened the passage from the southwest of Lake Berga to the depths of Siberia, including the subsequent 7,000 reinforcements, a total of 19,000. The remaining Russian soldiers were killed, and 275 people were captured. At the same time, 14,000 Russian people in the fortress city were captured.

Two days later, they were besieged for five days. Under the falling shells and huge casualties, the commander of Chita Fortress City also opened the gate of the fortress and surrendered. A full 8,000 Russian soldiers and 13,000 Russian people were captured. What awaits them will be a long labor life.

The two fortresses were conquered one after another, which finally relieved Zhao Long's front-line headquarters. Although the price was a little high, it was able to quickly pull out the two nails crawling on Cullen's back, which undoubtedly had a great impact on the subsequent battles.

Two days after the surrender of Chita Fortress, the newly renovated semi-mechanized 1st Infantry Division and the 3rd Cavalry Division also joined hands to launch an attack on the three Russian infantry divisions stationed in the Olyokma River. After three consecutive days and three nights of fierce fighting, the three Russian infantry divisions were completely anniied and captured. More than 18,000 people finally controlled the entire Oryokema River area, not only cutting off the Siberian Railway, but also cutting off the middle and eastern lines of the Russian army in one fell swoop.

Five days later, the 14th Infantry Division finally got out of the dense forest. The 5,000 Russian troops stationed in Lower Udyńsk did not expect to encounter the enemy at all. They resisted for only one morning and announced their surrender.

In just 20 days, on the most critical middle line, eight cavalry infantry divisions of the Xinhua Army attacked at the same time and attacked continuously. After paying a total of 8,000 people, they not only ate nearly 80,000 troops from the other side in one fell swoop, but also surrounded the remaining 120,000 people on the middle line of the Russian army in Angarsk and Lena, north of Lake Berga. A narrow area in the middle of the river.

There are only two roads left for General Kuropatkin, waiting for help, or going north to enter the real barren land of Siberia, but when winter is approaching, with 120,000 troops with imperfect supplies going north, it is almost the same as dying.

When all eyes were attracted by the mid-line victory, the general attack on the Vladivostok fortress also entered the countdown...
