Chapter 600 Probing Attack!

First of all, the enemy has firearms, but the number is definitely not very large, about 30% to 50%. In addition, their Eastern opponents began to fire randomly when the Cossack cavalry were still outside the firepower range, and they were not arranged in time to shoot in a mature western line attack.

If it weren't for the fact that their artillery was in place and began to bombard, the proud Colonel Kumach might have commanded his Cossack warriors to launch a raid on the enemy's position. However, this has shown a problem that the enemy's use of firearms and firearms tactics did not seem to be good. Connect.

"Okay, Colonel Kumach, you can have a rest. You did a good job. The news you brought made me know more about our opponents. I believe it's only a matter of time before we defeat such opponents." In the end, Rumitesv nodded with satisfaction.

After seeing the Cossack colonel leave the camp with a praised face of excitement, Major General Peterov stood up: "Dear marshal, now that we are less than 50 miles away from our enemy, should we go overnight and take advantage of our enemy's unstable foothold to attack?"

Peterrov has a typical Russian face, tall and powerful. It is said that he was promoted to major general by the lieutenant colonel in just two years because the respected Her Majesty the Tsar likes to summon this young and energetic officer at night.

Thinking that he had won such an honor in the past, but now... Lumentschev couldn't help looking at his big hand, which was also full of wrinkles, sighed helplessly, and showed the reserved and nobility of an elder and the officer to the young and energetic young general: "No, no, no Dear Peterov, it's not the right time. You know, our soldiers have been on the road for nearly five days in a row, and they are very tired and sleepy. If there is not enough rest, then when we arrive at the Pianovo station, our soldiers may not even be able to open their eyelids. In that case, Even if we can defeat those Orientals, it will cause us a lot of casualties.

Rumentsev knows very well that the reason why Peterov will be arranged as her deputy by his noble majesty is precisely because she knows very well that her new lover needs victory and merit to be promoted. If there is any problem with Major Peterov, the consequences will be unimaginable. Lumence The husband knew very well how ruthless the noble czar's means were.

--------------------

"You know, we are ordered by the respected Empress Tsar for the whole of Siberia, not just the victory or defeat of a battle. It is too far from the West and our capital. Now the situation in Europe is really worrying, and those Tatars who are migrating to the west have Your Majesty is very troubled.

"Your Majesty has been brain-wracked to be able to send our expeditionary force. Believe me, at least in one to two years, we will not get any reinforcements. We need to rely on ourselves to 'convince' the emerging Eastern Empire to let them know that Belarus is strong and not to be insulted."

Hearing that Rumentesev, a famous and meritorious general, analyzed the current situation so painstakingly, Peterov finally realized something. Dear Marshal, thank you very much for your advice. I really admire your foresight and overall view. Compared with you, I am just a soldier who knows how to charge forward with a gun.

"Ha ha, dear Peter, you don't have to be so modest, young and adventurous. This is what you need at your age. And the quality of modesty makes me believe that in the near future, you will become the new pride of our Russian soldiers. Rumentsev patted Petrov's arm with relief. Well, go and have a rest. Tomorrow, a battle to prove the courage of our emperor will start in the east. I hope to see you stand with me and enjoy the grand scene of the soldiers charging the enemy fearlessly.

"I'm very happy. Goodbye, Your Excellency Marshal. I believe that those Orientals will become the cornerstone of the marshal's move towards another great victory. After a respectful salute, Petrov withdrew from the barracks.

"Young and energetic, with a speakable mouth, no wonder she will become her new favorite." Looking at the back of Petrov's departure, Rumentsev couldn't help thinking with some jealousy.

Pianobo Station is located on the west bank of the Angara River. From here to Erkou City, you need to cross two tributaries of the Anga River, and Pianonovo Station is set at the ferry of the first tributary. If the Russian army can seize the ferry, even if there are no boats, it will be built in this densely forest of Siberia. It is also easy to cross the river with a raft.

Now, Rumentsev is standing on a high ground about five miles away from the Pianovo Station, carefully observing the smoke-filled battlefield with monoculars. The Orientals set up a position behind the river bank and completely protect the only ferry of the whole tributary suitable for crossing the river in their position. They want to pass through this There is only one way, that is, to defeat this huge number of Chinese defenders.

However, these damn Chinese are really too despicable. They have set up a large number of obstacles on the way forward for the Russians. These obstacles are either cut wood, some stones that they don't know where to move, or simply dig shallow pits on the ground.

For infantry, these obstacles are just slowing down their progress, but for the cavalry who win with speed, this is definitely a nightmare of cavalry assault.

And in this Russian expeditionary force, 20,000 Cossacks happened to be the main cannon fodder, but now, the despicable approach of his opponent is equivalent to restraining the most powerful offensive means of the expeditionary force.

Now, 20,000 elite Cossack cavalry have become spectators, and the Russian infantry have to go to the battlefield in advance and attack the damned, cunning Orientals.

"Fed." Rumentesev looked at the idle Cossack cavalry next to him, and then at the front, braved the raging rain of bullets and struggled towards the strong position. In the end, the Russian warriors who were blocked by the damn, barbed wire. Lumentsev, who had always had a good self-restraint, couldn't help swearing.

--------------------

"The messenger, convey our order and let them retreat." Lumentsev took a deep breath and issued an order to retreat. Soon, the Russian soldiers who had just rushed more than 200 steps away from the enemy's position began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Seeing the jubilant shouts on the enemy's position when the soldiers retreated, Rumentesev curled his lips disdainfully. What a bunch of idiots."

"Dear Marshal, why do you say that?" Next to him, Petrov looked at the old marshal curiously.

"Now my soldiers are still passing through obstacles. It is completely possible for them to counterattack our soldiers with cold weapons in their hands, but they didn't do so."

"But Marshal, I think this is a rational choice. You know, my Cossacks are eager to try." Petrov replied.

Hearing this, Rumetzschev shook his head. My dear Major General, the Oriental commander is very wise. The distance of the obstacles they set is enough for their troops with a large number of big knives and spears to launch a counterattack against the soldiers we are retreating at such a time, but you look at them, they don't even have the desire to leave the position, just stand in the original. On the ground, raise the knife and gun in your hand and cheer there.

Pedrov suddenly realized that he looked at Rumentev with more and more respect. You're right. This is enough to show that the enemies we face are not as powerful as we think.

"That's right." Rumentsev enjoyed the young major general's respectful eyes, with a reserved smile on his face: "Today we have launched two tentative attacks, and we have got enough things. Now it's time for our tired children to rest."

"Marshal, you mean..." Peterov didn't quite understand what medicine was going to be sold in the marshal's gourd.

"It's already half past four, and in less than an hour and a half, the sky will turn dark. At night, let our Cossack warriors also be active and try to clean up those damn obstacles. Our enemies don't even have the courage to pursue, so I believe that the actions of the Cossack warriors will not be hindered too much tonight. Rumentev elegantly took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said slowly.

"Yes, marshal, you are right." Pedro couldn't help but feel a faint sense of jealousy in his admiration. The handsome man's wisdom really made him feel helpless.

Fortunately, this famous general is already 70 years old, and he is still very young. The important thing is that he can learn more by his side. Thinking of this, the young, ambitious major general was once again full of fighting spirit.

"Looking at the situation, they should not attack again." Yin Junrui, the commander of the 52nd Division, who was hiding in the hidden reconnaissance post, put away his binoculars and whispered to his companions around him, Di Xiqing, the commander of the 53rd Division.

"It seems that our poor performance today still worked." Di Xiqing spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth and raised his eyebrows proudly. However, I just don't know if our opponents will perform according to the script we arranged.

"Don't worry, they will definitely do it. If it were me, I would definitely do it." Yin Junrui took a document handed over by the guard, took a look and signed his name. He must have said. I just hope that they will always send such a small group of soldiers to disturb him, so I have to pretend to be a twisted little daughter-in-law. It's really his mother's unhappliance.

"Patience, we have been in this area for almost a year. Even if we wait for a few more days, it's okay, but I don't know if the cavalry divisions and reading brigades that surround the back road are in place."
