Chapter 948 Kolchak enters the palace three times

At 2:00 pm on May 16, when Kolchak returned to the command center after the inspection, Bostshev told him that the headquarters decided to launch a new round of attack immediately after the shells in the rear arrived.

Kolchak frowned and hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said yes, without saying too much, nor did he refute. This made Bostshev, who had prepared a lot of words, swallow all the words into his stomach. He thought Kolchak would refuse, but he didn't expect that he agreed so happily.

Kolchak said seriously: "The Chinese are insufficient in military strength, and from the morning, the training level of Chinese soldiers is very high, but the actual combat ability is insufficient. Therefore, if we attack them, we must work hard and cannot accompany them to practice. If the battlefield lasts for more than ten days, the Chinese soldiers will turn everything they trained into battlefield skills, and it will be even more difficult for us to attack. I believe that the casualty rate of the Chinese team today is also very high, but as time goes backwards, their casualty rate will become lower and lower. The Chinese need time, so we keep attacking without giving them time. Also, the Chinese cannons are too threatening. I hope you can send spies to destroy the Chinese artillery positions."

Bostshev nodded and smiled reluctantly, which surprised Kolchak. It was really rare for this pair of people who were hated by the Belarusian officers to laugh at him back.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Soviet army launched another attack. The sun had not yet set, and the Chinese defenders had already rested tenaciously refused the Soviet attack with cannons and machine guns. Every second, the Soviet soldiers fell to the ground and could no longer get up. It was not easy for Chinese soldiers who were defending. The machine guns turned red and the barrels of the guns. Grenades, grenades, and Minjiu rifles were fast-fired. The Chinese defenders seized every opportunity to eliminate the enemy and used firepower to eliminate the Russians.

This attack consisted of six divisions of the Sakhalin Army, the 3rd Infantry Division of the Soviet Urals, the 29th and 30th Infantry Division, and the 35th Infantry Division of the Siberian totaled 80,000 troops. The plan was to continue to attack from four o'clock.

"Ula!" The classic Russian charge shouts echoed. Accompanied by the shouts, three infantry divisions rushed towards the Kizil Fortress.

The Soviet attack this time was different from the morning. They became smarter. The Soviet artillery quickly adapted to the new combat mode. They now only stayed in one place for up to five minutes, bombarded the Chinese positions for two minutes and then moved immediately, not giving the Chinese artillery group and fortress cannons a chance to attack themselves. The Chinese fortress cannons destroyed more than 30 of their cannons, but could not completely destroy the Soviet cannons, which also made the artillery on the fortress cannons very troubled.

As the sky gradually darkened, the Soviet army's military strength advantage also appeared. The Baiwei Army, who had combat experience in front of several positions, almost attacked the position. If it weren't for the machine gun shooting in the bunker, several protruding parts on the front line of the position would have been broken.

Kolchak was right, it can be clearly seen from the battle that the veterans of the Bai Guard Army were indeed more combat experience and willful than the soldiers of the Chinese National Wehrmacht. After China enjoyed several years of peace, the soldiers gradually became "training troops". This battle fully tested that the results of the training of the Chinese team were indeed not as good as the Soviet Red Army soldiers who survived the battle. If it weren't for the obvious advantage of firepower, the position would have been taken away long ago. The Chinese people were worried about the Soviet Russians' strong individual combat capabilities, and the Soviets also worried about the Chinese bunkers and strong continuous firepower.

The 1st Militia Reserve Regiment was transferred to support the 255th Regiment. Ye Hucheng's squad was assigned to a Shandong man named Song Wangang, who had just learned to shoot guns. According to him, he was from Yuncheng, Shandong. The martial arts hometown is not good at shooting guns, but he has the strength and martial arts skills, carrying a machete. Wang Maoru, the general secretary of the National Defense, said that he was willing to exchange a soldier's life for one thousand bullets, so when fighting, the Chinese Defense Army tried not to let soldiers fight in close combat. After all, the killing ratio of the enemy and us in hand-to-hand combat is very close. For Chinese soldiers, the soldiers cannot be consumed.

Ye Hucheng asked Song Wangang to give everyone ammunition, especially to press bullets for machine guns. This job was very simple, but Song Wangang was very depressed and stayed in the anti-cannon hole to press bullets.

After a while, someone shouted, "I was shot." Song Wangang quickly ran over and saw that it was Hu Bing. A piece of meat was bitten off by a bullet on his left shoulder. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"Take the gauze and tie it up first." Hu Bing took the opportunity to rest. After Song Wangang clumsily bandaged him, Hu Bing looked at it and said with a smile: "How did you bandage it? I was injured on my shoulder, not my arm. If so, you should press the bullet. Erzhuzi, come and help."

"Come on." Cao Erzhuzi took off the gauze, looked at the wound, and said, "No, I have to wash it with white wine."

"Can you not wash it?" Hu Bing changed his mind when he heard this.

"Absolutely not possible." Cao Erzhuzi said, saying to Song Wangang: "My fellow villager, help me press him, I'll wash his wounds."

"Ah..." The screams sounded from this position, scaring people around him. He heard that it was because of the pain of washing the wound with white wine, and they all scolded the little bastard for being scary. After washing the wound, Cao Erzhuzi said disdainfully: "Damn it, are you good at it? Don't let people know that you are a group of people in the future."

However, just after the Soviet army's second wave of attack on the afternoon of May 16, an unexpected incident occurred within the Soviet army. The 5th and 6th Divisions who arrived later announced that they would refuse to join the war because they had to rest and supplement their nutrition for a long time. The reason was that they were not respected enough and their soldiers needed to rest. Buluheer probably forgot that the Sakhalin Infantry Division was formed based on the foundation of the Tsar Guards. They were not firmly Bolsheviks, and for the sake of their faith and orders in their hearts, they would unconditionally execute the above orders.

Kolchak tried his best to convince them, but was protested and criticized by his subordinates. They said that Kolchak was asking for credit and reward for the new master with the blood and life of his old comrades. Kolchak was very sad by his colleagues' misunderstanding, so he could only report to Buluhell helplessly that they were going to participate in the evening attack. However, he did not see Buluhell at the command center. This Soviet general who was born as a Cossack cavalry company commander once again ran to the front and directly commanded the battle. Only the political commissar Bostshev in the command center was in charge and waiting to collect information.

Bostschev was full of disdain for the commander who could not sit still. He was indeed a commander who only knew how to charge. He still had military command ability, and perhaps he was the real commander of this unit. Of course, he forgot that there was also the conscientious Chief of Staff Sollinsky on the side.

When Kolchak expressed his opinion on the 5th and 6th Infantry Divisions of Sakhalin, Bostshev immediately refused coldly and said: "No, their mission is to start the attack now, now, immediately, execute!"

"Actually, they don't refuse to fight, but need a break. And I promise that putting them in a later attack will play a greater role." Kolchak said, patting his chest.

"No! Immediately!" Bostshev's marshal's dream had just been made, and he would not allow others to "us usurp power" by chance.

"You are not the commander, I need to report to the commander." Kolchak was angry by his attitude. "You are just a political commissar - damn, when will an army need a political commissar?"

"Please pay attention to your attitude. Are you talking to the firm Bolshevik political commissars? Do you want to counter-revolution and oppose the leadership of the Soviets? Remember, it is the party that leads the army, not the army that leads the party." Bostshev said angrily.

In a fit of anger, Kolchak took off his hat and threw it on the ground and said, "Damn it, they just need rest. What do you Bolsheviks know? They just ran a twelve kilometers of road and now they don't even have time to eat. How can you let them have the strength to fight?"

"Are you covering up these cowards?" said Bostshev.

"Coward? Do you think they are cowards?" Kolchak snorted coldly, "When they were fighting, you were still studying in school."

Bostshev pushed the glasses on his eyes and said, "Then please order your soldiers to be brave in the front."

Kolchak said coldly: "I refuse, this university teacher."

What Bostshev hated most was that others called him a university teacher because he was expelled from Moscow University because he had a relationship with a female student. In fact, this was not a shameful thing, but ten years ago during the Tsarist Russian rule, this female student vowed to be a nun in the church. Bostshev violated the creed of the church. Tsarist Russia, which established the Orthodox Church as the state religion, absolutely did not allow anyone to defile the church, so Bostshev was expelled from the university, and the female student was sent to a church in Siberia to serve as a nun.

"You damn coward, a war-avoider!" Bostshev said angrily, "Do you want to preserve your strength and do anything to subvert the Soviet government? I have the right to investigate your actions and doubt your sincerity towards the Soviet Union. The Bolshevik Party represents the interests of the people and the interests of the working class. Oppose the Bolsheviks and oppose the people, you are the damn reactionary."

Kolchak was stunned when he heard this. The glasses were too irrepeated. He said coldly: "My people died and injured more than 6,000 people in the morning. Now the 5th and 6th Division just want to rest and have a bite of food, and then they fall into the anti-Bolsheviks you mentioned? You damn university teacher, are you trying to use Chinese bullets to massacre our former Tsarist Russian officers?"
