The reason why Putilov felt that his troops were brave and invincible and had absolute power was because the soldiers generally believed that they could defeat Zhao Chuanxin with more troops. Regardless of whether they could kill Zhao Chuanxin, at least they could plunder a few people by the time they reached Lubin Mansion. Fan, just like before, he took advantage and made a fortune.
This kind of financial stimulation excites them, rather than the honor and belief of actually fighting for the country.
The wealth on the grassland is different from other places. It is all on the surface. Herds of cattle and sheep and mountains of furs are all wealth. The wealth of the grassland banner people must be carried with them at all times. Hidden in a yurt, no matter what kind, they are easily found.
As long as Putilov waves his hand, they will just grab it.
So Putilov looked forward to his victory, and the Russian soldiers were also very happy.
This atmosphere continued until the march was filled with yellow sand.
Putilov was not really a fool. He asked the turning cavalry to go out to explore the road again, especially pointing to the location of Ulanqiu on the map and said, "There are two soil and sand mountains here, and there is another It’s not a big lake, so you must investigate it carefully. Apart from the woods along the Hailar River in front, this is the only place where people can be ambushed.”
The cavalry responded and rode away.
George Lynch said, "The major general is indeed careful enough."
"War is not a child's play. Of course, the more careful you are, the better. I do everything I can think of, so I don't worry. An accident happened." Putilov said proudly.
The cavalry perform their duties because they belong to a special branch, and their salary and status are higher than those of ordinary infantry.
When they arrived at Ulanqiu, they circled the mountain and examined it carefully with binoculars.
Although they did their duty, the only thing they missed was that they did not disperse the team. If they surrounded them at 360 degrees, they would be able to see Zhao Chuanxin following them in circles on Wulan Qiu.
He stooped slightly, stepping on the misty traveler, and the mountains blocked his figure.
The cavalry’s omission is actually excusable.
Normally speaking, if there is an ambush here, the artillery and machine guns will be exposed. Even if people run fast, the artillery and machine guns will not escape.
If there are only a few people ambushing here with rifles, it will be basically ineffective against thousands of troops.
The bad thing is that Zhao Chuanxin doesn’t have to arrange it in advance, and there is only one person.
After they turned around and turned back, Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and kept adjusting his position with a smile. He took out the two mountain cannons after the smart gyroscope vibrated to indicate that it was OK.
One gun is loaded with smoke grenades, and the other is loaded with fragmentation shells.
The vertical angle of the 1904 mountain cannon is 10 to 25 degrees, and the horizontal angle is 3 degrees on the left and right.
The barrel is too low, and the upward angle of 25 degrees seems like a joke, but this angle is very suitable for Zhao Chuanxin. He always fires close to his face, and the 10-degree vertical shooting range is even more powerful.
When the Tsarist Russian troops approached Ulanqiu.
Putilov is still talking to GeorgelinWhat a bragging rights.
The purpose of bragging is naturally to become famous. He learned from George Lynch that this war attracted worldwide attention.
"I'm not bragging. Other countries have nothing to do with Zhao Chuan's salary, but this time he finally fell into my hands"
Boom
Putilov Before he could finish his words, the sound of cannons rang out.
Violent smoke rose in front of the team.
Boom
The second cannon shot was approaching.
The cavalry in the vanguard suffered a disaster, and were swept across by fragmentation bullets while firing wide open.
Putilov’s head was buzzing and he was so frightened that he fell off his horse.
Fortunately, he was not affected later.
The guards quickly helped him retreat.
People were shouting, the scene was chaotic, and no one was in charge.
Zhao Chuanxin put away his cannon and began to move his position.
He moved from the eastern hills to the western hills.
The cannon has just been fired, and the distance is less than 200 meters.
That’s outrageous.
Zhao Chuanxin went down the mountain, climbed the slope, and went up to the platform of another hill to mount the cannon.
The weight of the 1904 mountain cannon plus the gun mantlet is close to 700 kilograms. He can pull it, but it is also difficult.
So when adjusting the cannon, it all depends on the secret realm retracting and retracting, retracting and retracting and moving a little bit.
He adjusted it and loaded the fragmentation bullet.
The other side just reacted.
Their primary way of locating artillery positions was by looking at smoke.
Through the smoke of smoke bombs, you can see the white smoke left by the cannon fire on Wulanqiu.
That is, less than 200 meters away, the location where Zhao Chuanxin was just now was hit by concentrated fire.
Zhao Chuanxin had already taken some time to fire again on another mountainside.
Boom
Boom
Two shells, one in front and one in back, struck accurately from a distance of 300 meters.
At this time, Zhao Chuanxin was surprised to find that the Russian soldiers were not as vulnerable as he imagined.
Various whistles sounded and they lined up quickly.
After being hit by three precise artillery shells, they were able to organize fierce resistance.
As expected of a gray animal, he is quite an animal.
In particular, he quickly set up a heavy machine gun and fired at him. The distance of 300 meters was a bit far away. During the shooting, only one bullet hit the gun mantlet.
Zhao Chuanxin retracted the cannon and dodged away, crawling on the ground on his hands and feet. When their upward shooting angle was not enough to threaten him, he got up and stepped on the Misty Traveler and ran forward along the ravine.
Run to another piece of flat ground and set up artillery outside the sight of the Russian troops and out of sight of each other.
He first absorbed the heat from the barrel with the Old God's Crucible Brand, and then began to adjust.
Each cannon needs to be adjusted and loaded several times.
At this time, Zhao Chuanxin retreated, and the Russian troops also retreated. The distance between the two sides increased to 450 meters.Left and right, still within the sensing range of the smart gyroscope.
Boom
Boom
Two shells, one missed the vital point, but the other exploded in the center of the Russian troop.
Tsarist Russia has never had any impressive record in critical battles.
Tracing back to the entire Romanov dynasty, the Russian army’s combat experience was only related to the defense of Sevastopol and Port Arthur.
Both are defensive.
A light infantry artillery battery is equipped with only 36 artillery pieces.
As for artillery, there are only a few that can strike accurately.
It can be said that in a short period of time, Zhao Chuanxin was able to achieve at least the effect of a light infantry artillery battery, and even more fiercely.
Putilov's artillery was stolen by Zhao Chuanxin, which meant that Zhao Chuanxin did not have artillery, otherwise the indiscriminate bombing would be enough for him to drink a pot.
At this time, Putilov wanted to counterattack, but the large group of Cossack cavalry went to the front bank of the Hailar River to set up defenses. The small group was hit by Zhao Chuanxin's first round of artillery and was doubtful.
Without a cavalry surprise attack, it would be impossible to quickly maneuver across the line of artillery fire.
He could only order people to retreat and disperse in order to reduce casualties.
So when Zhao Chuanxin loaded the cannons and fired again, they had probably dispersed and left the sensing range of the smart gyroscope.
Zhao Chuanxin fired blindly, but almost no one was hit.
Che and Zha led people to ambush behind the dunes.
As Zhao Chuanxin expected, when the Cossack cavalry stationed in the woods along the Hailar River heard the sound of gunfire, they immediately mounted their horses and turned eastward to rush for reinforcements.
Che and Zha were a little excited.
There hasn’t been a war in some years. < /p>
The excitement of each man was beyond words, not unlike Che and Zha.
Closer, closer, closer.
Che Heza shouted "fight"
After saying that, he took the lead in pulling the trigger.
Bang
One person fell.
Che Hezha was overjoyed, and his sword was indeed still young.
Intensive gunfire sounded.
More than 200 people were riding, and more than 20 people fell off their horses.
Che Hezha felt a little unsatisfied and wanted to shoot, but was stopped by his subordinates, "The prefect told us to fight in one round and run away."
Che Hezha gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it. , I’ll take care of you next time.”
Slide down the sand dune, get on your horse and leave.
The sand dunes blocked the pursuit of the Cossack cavalry, not to mention that fighting had obviously begun in the east. They sent their men to collect the wounded. The remaining people walked around the sand dunes and saw that Che, Zha and others had run away. They could only hate them. He gave up and headed east in hatred.
In Ulanqiu, the battlefield fell into silence.
Putilov was in the team, businessmanDiscuss whether to attack or take a detour, and at the same time punish the cavalry who returned from exploring the road before.
They were so stupid that they swore that there was no ambush, but they were bombarded as soon as the army arrived.
War correspondent George Lynch was haunted by lingering fears.
If he hadn't been behind, he might have been killed.
He looked at Putilov coldly. This major general who had been talking big words actually whipped his cavalry at this time.
However, the enemy did not continue to fire.
After a stalemate like this for a while, more than a hundred Cossacks came from the west.
Putilov was overjoyed at first, and then his heart was in his throat.
He secretly prayed that the cavalry would be fast and the artillery fire would not be able to catch up.
Zhao Chuanxin had no intention of using cannons. He had already calculated that the cavalry would come back to assist, so he slid down from the west side of Ulan Qiu and took out his war bow and explosive arrows.
Whoosh
Whoosh
How did he shoot?
Stepping on the misty traveler, chasing the Cossack cavalry and shooting behind him.
The horse speed is simply not comparable to that of the Misty Traveler. Even if he pursues him in circles, he can still do it with ease.
In the distance, Putilov and George Lynch were looking through telescopes, and they were stunned.
The 150-man cavalry team was blown up by Zhao Chuanxin.
The horse was frightened and ran desperately, which was somewhat difficult to control.
It would be difficult for them to fight back on horseback at high speed.
Zhao Chuanxin pursued them one after another, erratically left and right.
Boom
Boom
Released the particle stream, and the root of the starry sky gave him endless arm strength. He shot twenty explosive arrows and the Cossack cavalry was bombed. They fled in all directions and suffered heavy casualties.
Tata Tata
The Russian soldiers over there fired their machine guns, and Zhao Chuanxin drifted away, turned around and left.
They didn't even care about the lives of their own cavalry, so Zhao Chuanxin couldn't risk his life.
Putilov was so angry that he had nothing to do with Zhao Chuanxin at the top of the mountain. Now he could see Zhao Chuanxin through the telescope, but he still couldn't catch up with him.
"Sukabule"
Putilov drew out his command knife and chopped a piece of dead grass on the ground with hatred.
Just like Zhao Chuanxin underestimated the Russian soldiers before, Putilov also felt that he had underestimated Zhao Chuanxin. This man was far more mysterious and terrifying than he imagined.
Zhao Chuanxin did not go far, so he sat on Wulanqiu and ate Da Lieba.
He leaned against the earthbag and lifted up his cloak to block the cold wind that brought dust. He couldn't swallow the dry bread, so he had to get water.
Zhao Chuanxin has been putting himself through a lot of trouble these days, running back and forth every day. Even with a helmet on, his face is still gray and his lips are chapped.
Just because I didn’t drink some water to moisturize my lips before eating, my lower lip cracked when I took a bite of bread, and my lips were covered in blood.
After barely finishing the meal, Zhao Chuanxin patted the crumbs on his hands and stood up.Go and see the situation of the Russian army.
The Russian army was heading north at this time.
Because the north of the Hailar River was occupied by a large number of Russians in the past few years, the Dongqing Railway Guard Team patrolled along the railway every day. As a result, the Sauron tribe and Chenbal tigers grazed here, and the cattle and sheep gnawed them year after year. Grassland desertification is serious.
The Russian army walked to the gap in the northern hill and climbed over, intending to go around from behind.
Putilov said to the captain, "Leonid, Zhao Chuanxin's cannons were all stolen from us. This hateful thief, the cannons in his hands cannot shoot this far.
Leonid hesitated and said, "Major General, we have another option. Zhao Chuanxin must have placed the cannon on those two small hills. We will attack them and recapture the cannon. For the subsequent war, Favorable."
"Leonid, I'm not sure, I'm really not sure." Putilov began to doubt his judgment. "Did you just see that Zhao Chuanxin ran away. He is faster than a horse, and his bow and arrow can explode, but I can see it clearly through the telescope. I even think that there are many people hiding in those two small mountains."
< p>George Lynch held a small notebook and truthfully recorded the war.I also drew a personal outline on the paper with a pencil.
The person, the armor, the cloak, and the pair of terrifying big eyes
The distance was far away, and the cavalry raised a lot of dust. When George Lynch just looked at it with the telescope, the shadows were not very clear.
He first sketched out the details that he could remember, and then slowly improved them when he went back.
When Putilov saw it, he was no longer in the mood to brag.
He thought very well. He could avoid the cannon range by avoiding two mountains of earth.
But what they didn't expect was that Zhao Chuanxin did not place the artillery at a fixed point. He ran around with the artillery.
Zhao Chuanxin, like a tarsal maggot, circled to the other side of the rolling sand dune, took out the mountain cannon and loaded it.
After roughly clarifying the Russian army's route, Zhao Chuanxin adjusted the muzzle angle several times.
Still less than 200 meters away.
This time Zhao Chuanxin did not rush to fire, he also evolved in the battle, just because the future war situation will be more cruel and tragic.
In the past, he also suspected that after World War I, his abilities would not be of much use.
But in fact it is just the opposite. With his super mobility and weapon portability, he still has a place to be used.
This war is equivalent to an experiment.
Zhao Chuanxin erected a gray stone wall to block the two cannons.
When the middle of the Russian troop was exposed within shooting range, Zhao Chuanxin melted the stone wall.
Boom
Boom
Putilov is going crazy.
Now that he heard the sound of gunfire, he felt cramps in his calves.
This time Zhao Chuanxin cut off the head and tail of the Russian army, and the crowd immediately fled in both directions.
He was in a position where there was no point in continuing to fire. He closed the gun and turned back confidently.After the sand dune, I followed the Misty Traveler to another sand dune 3 miles ahead.
Leonid said to Putilov, "Major General, this time we must attack and capture the artillery, otherwise we will have to be passively beaten."
The mountain cannon is portable and cannot be captured. It's easy to take with you.
It doesn’t matter if you slow down the march, what matters is having the ability to fight back.
Zhao Chuanxin stared at the sand dunes in the west with a telescope.
Russian soldiers are not stupid. They know that their status is low, their treatment is not high, and they are looked down upon by others.
However, they are quite talented in enduring hardship and hard work, and they work hard without complaining.
So gray animals are not only discrimination, but also the world’s lament for their above characteristics.
Even though they suffered serious casualties under Zhao Chuanxin's artillery fire, and even though many of them struggled to the point of losing their strength, they continued to climb the sand dunes after the commander gave the order, even though their boots were filled with sand without making a sound.
Unfortunately, under the cover of machine guns spitting flames and bullet casings splashing, they found nothing when they climbed up the sand dunes.
Leonid was immediately stunned that it was impossible, it shouldn’t be, it wouldn’t be possible.
He asked people to dig at the location where Zhao Chuanxin originally fired the cannon. They dug three feet into the ground, but still found nothing.
Where is the cannon?
Putilov asked him sullenly, "Where is the cannon?"
Leonid shook his head, "Not found, it must have been taken away." ”
Putilov roared, “Took him away right under our noses, just in a short time.”
Leonid could not answer.
They formed the team and counted the casualties. Under the precise bombing of several rounds of artillery by Zhao Chuanxin, 57 people were killed, 26 were seriously injured, and 21 were slightly injured.
38 Cossack cavalry were killed, 18 were seriously injured, and 19 were slightly injured.
The originally high morale has reached rock bottom.
Even experienced veterans have never experienced a war in which there were only casualties on one's own side and Mao could not touch the opponent.
Putilov, Leonid and other officers discussed countermeasures.
They immediately disagreed on how many troops the other party had.
Some people said that there must be more than one person on the other side, but Leonid firmly believed that there was only one person on the other side, Zhao Chuanxin.
“One person can deploy so many places to carry out sneak attacks”
“There are so many people. Did you see it? Everything happened in front of us. Didn’t you notice that things were weird? ”
Finally, Putilov decided, “Okay, don’t make a fuss. Whether it’s Zhao Chuanxin alone or there are others, one thing is certain. Even if there are others, there won’t be too many people.” ."
The Cossack cavalry is no longer a centurion.
Putilov decided to divide his troops into three places. The cavalry would walk in wavy lines from north to south, bypassing the sand dunes ahead. Use your mobility to avoid gunfire while scouting ahead.
Each hundred-man infantry team should be spaced apart and divided into two places.Tirov led the team, and Leonid led the team at one point. The two sides surrounded the sand dune in front, crossed on the west side of the dune, the south team changed to the north team, and the north team changed to the south team, crossing and outflanking again.
Once the opponent opened fire, the centurions spread out and charged to capture the small high ground.
I have to say that Putilov still has something.
Zhao Chuanxin looked at their deployment from a distance and fell into deep thought.
At this time the cavalry had begun to charge.
Zhao Chuanxin could not think of a better strategy for a while, so he set up a Russian Maxim on the sand dune, hung up a 250-round canvas bomb chain, and erected a stone wall in front of him.
Tata Tata
In the past, Zhao Chuanxin always waited for the pathfinding cavalry to pass before attacking the infantry at the back. The opponent did not expect that this time Zhao Chuanxin changed his tactics and directly attacked the vanguard. .
It’s just that the distance is about 800 meters, and the accuracy is not high.
The barrage swept past, and only three cavalrymen fell to the ground together with their horses, while the rest immediately fled away.
They deliberately distanced themselves, regardless of Zhao Chuanxin, and rushed directly to the next sand dune 2 miles away.
Zhao Chuanxin looked at it with a telescope, then put it down and melted the stone wall.
Putilov's strategy was successful, and their deployment made it difficult for Zhao Chuanxin to perform.
He could only keep walking forward, looking back from time to time, but failed to find a suitable ambush position.
Putilov raised his tail again, sat upright on his horse and held his command knife, and said arrogantly to George Lynch, "You see, the ability to command in battle is very important. No matter how cunning a fox is, Can't beat the old hunter."
George Lynch nodded heavily, and then quickly recorded it on paper. After paying a huge and painful price, the complacent Major General Putilov found a way to successfully defend instead of attack. Zhao Chuanxin's method. I highly doubt that Zhao Chuanxin is the only enemy, although I don't know how he did it. Putilov received the most severe beatings and said the most arrogant words.
