Chapter 934 Fighting to the Mountain (3)
Haha, did the Russians see the opportunity very quickly? They can't shrink anymore?
After a clear victory, the Qing army soldiers were naturally excited about it. However, Hongqing was not satisfied with the slightest satisfaction. There was nothing wrong with it. In his opinion, with the strong firepower of the Qing army, it was against the Russian army that was acting backward and defensive. Victory was a matter of course. It was no surprise that the real test was still to come. After waiting for a full stick of incense, there was no sign of the Three Kingdoms coalition launching another attack. Hongqing knew that the Russian army was planning to play a game of waiting for the rabbit.
"Order: The three armies are pressing two hundred steps forward, Cheng Guiwu's troops hold back the ground, Yue Zhongqi and Zhang Miao's troops launch an attack immediately, focusing on eliminating the enemy's living forces, and there is no need to rush to attack."
The fundamental purpose of Hongqing's leadership of the army in the west was to severely attack the arrogance of the Russian Empire. He would not give up because of the Russian army's turn of attack to defense. However, he did not intend to exchange the lives of his soldiers for victory. This is nothing else. Although Hongqing's power in the court and the opposition was very large, in fact, the one who could really make Hongqing sit firmly in the court was his strong army. He did not want to lose too much in this battle, and the orders of attack were reserved.
Over the past year, the Qing army was invincible and invincible, and the morale of the army was extremely high. Even if the enemy on the opposite side had more than twice the strength of its own, the soldiers of the Qing army did not take it seriously. In addition, they had easily defeated the strong attacks of the two Russian divisions before, and their spirits were naturally extremely high. They all wanted to rush forward and quickly wipe out the enemy on the opposite side. With this mentality, they were inevitably a little dissatisfied with the order to advance slowly by Hongqing. However, the order was an order, but no one dared to disobey. As the horn sounded loudly, the soldiers of the three armies moved when they heard the order. In addition to the reserve team led by Hongqing, the three Qing troops began to move forward slowly and marched towards the positions of the Three Kingdoms coalition forces in unison.
"Everything is stable, put the yellow-skinned monkey closer and then beat it!"
"Stay calm, don't be confused!"
"Don't be chaotic. If anyone dares to act recklessly, he will be killed without mercy!"
...
Nearly 100,000 Qing troops pressed forward together. Although the speed was not very fast, the momentum was as majestic as a mountain. Although it was still far apart, there was still a riot in the Three Kingdoms coalition formation. The Dattobu, Watchaevsky and others who were in charge of leading the army had to use their full power to press forward loudly. Only the Russian Guards First Army deployed from the back of the middle lane was still calm. Although there was a commotion, it was almost negligible.
Under the orders of commanders at all levels, the commotion of the Three Kingdoms coalition was quickly suppressed by bullets. They were all waiting for the Qing army's strong attack with full vigilance. Rows of black muzzles pointed directly in front of them, and hundreds of various artillery were even ready to launch, waiting for the Qing army to rush forward to avenge the bloody feud of the previous defeat.
"Fire the cannon and blast those messes out for me!"
"Start."
...
Although the Three Kingdoms coalition had a good plan, unfortunately the Qing army did not intend to follow the pace expected by the Three Kingdoms coalition. So, after the three armies pressed for two hundred meters, they stopped and lined up on the spot again. With the resettlement of the artillery positions, Zhang Miao and Yue Zhongqi issued attack orders almost at the same time. The difference is that Zhang Miao roared vigorously, while Yue Zhongqi just gave a simple order.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The orders of the two main generals were as follows, and the war defense artillery and heavy artillery deployed in front of the Qing army immediately began to bombard fiercely. The target was aiming at the artillery positions in front of the Russian army. As for Cheng Guiwu's headquarters, he remained silent and did not attack the Junggar army. However, the Qing army's light infantry artillery on the left wings did not fire, but was only prepared for attack.
"Fire, fight back, fight back!"
The Qing army had six heavy artillery pieces in total, with an effective range of more than 1,200 meters; the combat defense artillery pieces had an effective range of more than 800 meters; after such a bombing, the Russian artillery positions 600 meters were immediately in trouble. One cannon and the soldiers on standby on the side were all blown into pieces. In just one round of fire, the two Russian cannons were destroyed by more than 30, and there were countless gunners killed or injured. As soon as they saw this, Lieutenant General Watchaifsky, the commander of the right wing of the Russian army, and Lieutenant General Pantevsky, the deputy commander of the first border defense army in the middle, were all angry and issued a counterattack order almost at the same time.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
After ordering, the Russian artillerymen did not dare to be a little negligent, and they began to counterattack according to Cao Dian. The shells roared through the sky and smashed towards the Qing army array in the distance. In an instant, a ball of fire broke out, and countless shrapnel flew around and swept around. The momentum was quite large. But the result of the battle was that except for the explosion of more than a hundred large pits on the flat ground, even the Qing army's Mao could not hurt one. The maximum range of Russian artillery was only more than 550 meters, and the most cutting-edge artillery positions in the Qing army array were more than 600 meters away from the Russian army. No matter how hard the Russian artillerymen worked, it would be useless.
"The command: Khmernitsky's troops immediately attacked, stormed the enemy's formation, and each unit was on standby, and let the Junggar army attack and restrain the enemy's right-wing cluster!"
The Qing army's fighting style based on its advantage in weapons was really bullying. After two rounds of artillery attacks, the Russian artillery positions were in chaos. Seeing that after a few more rounds of attacks like this, the Russian artillery troops would be wiped out. Lieutenant General Torsky couldn't help but feel a little anxious and gave two orders in a pale face.
"The first division attacks the enemy's left wing, the second division, and the third division follow me to defeat the frontal enemy and kill!"
As soon as he received the order from Lieutenant General Torsky, the commander of the First Cossack Army, Hmernisky, did not dare to delay any delay, and roared and issued the order.
Cossacks (Ukrainian: ko3akn; Russian: ka3a?kn) is a nomadic community living in the prairie of Eastern Europe (Ukraine, southern Russia). It originated in the 13th century. Some Slavs wandered to southern Russia in order to escape the rule of the Khanate of the Mongol Empire, including the Don River Basin, the lower Dnieper River and the Volga River Basin. In the 15th and 16th century, some Russians who were unwilling to become serfs, and Ukrainian farmers migrated to the southern Russian region after the overthrow of the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate. These people were called "Cossacks", that is, "free people" in the Turkic language.
The Cossacks were known for their bravery and good fighting. In the early 17th century, the Cossacks established many small countries in the Don River Basin. Later, because they were defeated in the war with Poland, they had to surrender to Tsarist Russia in 1654. After decades of running-in, they were completely incorporated into the Russian Empire around 1720. In June 1722, Peter the Great ordered the reorganization of the Cossacks into ten legions, which became the sharp blade for the Russian Empire to expand abroad. The standard equipment was saber, and the spear, and some troops prepared a messile gun, and the head took the lead.
Wearing a cylindrical curly hat and a black cloak. From generals to ordinary soldiers, they are not armed. They are a light cavalry unit that is fast and mobile. They are all in the same color as Donhe horses. They have extremely strong explosive power and endurance. Once they launch a charge, they often advance but not retreat. They are the best troops in the Russian army who are good at assault. At this time, 25,000 Cossack cavalry rushed out together, and the momentum was extremely huge. Rows of bright sabers raised like forests in the sun. The cold light of death flashed so dazzlingly that people were dazzled. The sound of hooves was like thunder, and murderous aura soared into the sky!
"A gunfire strikes, fight me!"
After more than 25,000 Cossack cavalry rushed forward, neither Zhang Miao nor Yue Zhongqi, they dared to go lightly, and issued an order almost at the same time. Then, more than 150 light infantry cannons that had never fired, immediately began to cover the fire. Not long after, heavy artillery and war defense cannons also adjusted the shooting position and kept smashing the shells into the rushing Cossack cavalry formation. A large number of fires exploded, and countless shrapnel were shot everywhere. In an instant, many Cossack cavalry and their horses were beaten into sieves, but even so, they could not stop the Cossack cavalry's desperate charge.
"There are all departments, shoot!"
"Open the fire, fire me!"
...
Seeing how brave and violent the Cossack cavalry rushing, Zhang Miao and Yue Zhongqi dared not take it lightly. When the Cossack cavalry rushed to a distance of less than 300 steps from their array, they issued an order almost at the same time. In an instant, the snatch sound was already like a firecracker. Although the distance was a little far, the density of tens of thousands of people firing in turn was astonishingly high, not to mention that many machine guns fired at the same time, countless bullet links intertwined into a huge fire net. Even so, the vanguard formation of the Cossack cavalry was so strong that they could not stop. As time went by, the Cossack cavalrymen who risked their lives to charge, finally rushed forward less than 100 meters away from the Qing army array.
"Bastard, why did the right wing keep his troops still? Go and ask them to order the Khan to attack quickly!"
The Cossack cavalry was rushing at all costs, but the Junggar army on the other side had no movement. As soon as they saw this, Lieutenant General Torsky was immediately angry, waved his hand and called a messenger, and roared in anger.
"yes!"
