Dominate the Country

In order to eat up the Russian vanguard brigade, the Wehrmacht really paid a big price.

The consequence of concentrating its forces on the vanguard brigade was that the Wehrmacht's blocking forces were also bullied by the Russian army that night.

The lethality of artillery is very small. In the current environment, even the explosive power of rockets has been greatly reduced due to silt and water. But the old Russians still have warriors who brave the mud and water and charge into battle.

Even if the Wehrmacht works harder on bayonet warfare, the small number of people is still a major weakness of the blocking forces.

Wei Xiuzhi did send troops to reinforce, but that was only a small part. Only two battalions!

Just when the main force of the Wehrmacht completely encircled and annihilated the Russian vanguard brigade, then reorganized the defense line, captured prisoners, and gathered troops in the dark, and when everything was almost done, another battalion of troops was drawn to reinforce the blocking forces. At this time, the offensive launched by the Russian army not only did not slow down due to the "disappearance" of the vanguard brigade's position, but the offensive became more fierce.

In the Russian army's headquarters, Rumyantsev held a glass wine glass in his hand, and a thin layer of red wine covered the bottom of the glass. Rumyantsev's eyes were fixed on the map in front of him, and the whole person seemed to be immobilized, motionless. Just sitting in front of the map, two hours passed unconsciously.

Russian staff, officers, and soldiers inside and outside the headquarters did not dare to speak loudly or shout loudly. Because everyone knew that Rumyantsev was waiting for good news from the front line.

When was the decisive battle of the battle on the Kama River?

This is a multiple-choice question.

Its options focus on one question - whether the vanguard brigade of the Russian army was eaten by the Chinese first, but not whether the Wehrmacht blocking force was defeated by the Russian army first.

Behind the Wehrmacht's blocking force is their main force. The reason why the Chinese only arranged so few people to fight blocking is to give their main force more and better rest time. Therefore, the key is still on the Russian army's vanguard brigade.

If this vanguard brigade can hold out for five days, preferably a week, Rumyantsev will order the Russian army to start a real decisive battle with the Wehrmacht.

But if the vanguard brigade is annihilated by the Chinese first, then the day when the Chinese fight an annihilation war is the best opportunity for the Russian army.

Because this day is when the Chinese consume the most physical and mental energy. Missing this day, the Russian army lost seven points in this war.

After the vanguard brigade is eliminated, the morale of the Chinese will inevitably rise, while the morale of the Russian army will definitely be frustrated. At the same time, the Russian army will be at a disadvantage, and the vanguard brigade has six or seven thousand troops.

Even if the Chinese also pay a certain price, it is impossible to fight one to one. Boltavchenko is not that capable.

Therefore, when Rumyantsev detected the movement of troops in the direction of the vanguard brigade, he also played all the cards in his hand. Even the Cossacks on standby near the headquarters, when necessary, he would let these people return from four legs to two legs, and then fill in the key points.

At the command of the blocking troops, the chief of staff of the regiment, Jiang Xiaoxian, said to Chen Baoguang, the officer of the regiment guard team: "Xiao Chen, don't be nervous, the Russians are far from eating us." Although the regiment acting as a blocking force is not full, there are 2,400 to 5,000 people, plus the support of three battalions, the total force is close to 4,000.

Jiang Xiaoxian did not dare to guarantee that they could always hold off the Russian army, but just tonight, Jiang Xiaoxian felt that it would definitely not be a problem.

As a descendant of the martyrs, Jiang Xiaoxian did not have the ambition to become a marquis in his heart, his goal was only the rank of general. His father was Jiang Tianfang, who died in Suzhou during the battle in Jiangnan. At that time, Jiang's father was a battalion-level officer. It can be said that he was the first battalion-level officer to die in the Fu Han Army since its establishment. If he had not died, his father would not only be awarded the rank of general posthumously.

General is not a problem, and the general can also be expected.

Jiang Xiaoxian did not aim too high. His initial goal was to make the "general" of the Jiang family worthy of the name, and then look forward to higher peaks.

And Chen Baoguang, that is a child of the Chen family.

The Chen family seized the world, and it was not said that everyone was promoted to heaven, but it was almost the same. This also made their descendants really raise a group of dandies and a group of useless people, such as Chen Zifeng at the beginning.

But at the same time, there are also many children of the Chen family who are both literary and martial. It can be said that the growth and living environment of these second-generations is much better than when their parents were young. These people have the capital to learn literature and martial arts and are willing to do anything. As long as parents supervise them strictly and the children can understand what is good and what is bad, they will eventually become a group of people.

Chen Baoguang is one of them.

The position of the guard officer of this regiment is half a level higher than that of an ordinary officer. Although his military rank is still a sergeant, he enjoys the treatment of a deputy battalion commander. He is only 21 years old and is definitely a talent.

The regiment commander, deputy regiment commander and instructor in the regiment headquarters are all gone. These three have already led the troops to the battlefield. Only Chief of Staff Jiang, who has a gauze wrapped on his head, stayed. He also went to the front line before, and was bitten by the iron sheet flying from the rocket.

The guard team led by Chen Baoguang is a large organization of 200 people, but soon, he can no longer stay in the regiment headquarters.

"Baoguang, Chen Baoguang!" It was the regiment instructor who ran back to the headquarters covered in blood. He didn't have time to be polite to Jiang Xiaoxian. He grabbed the teacup in front of Chief of Staff Jiang and drank the whole cup in one breath.

"Assemble the guard team immediately." Putting down the teacup, the instructor gave the order in a quick tone without even wiping his lips.

There was nothing more to say. Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoxian knew that there was a flaw in the position.

Although the position is not so depleted that only the guards are left, for the sake of long-term considerations, those battalions that have retreated to rest and reorganize should be given a good rest as much as possible.

Bringing the new force of the Guard forward will buy time for the resting team to retire and allow them to take a breath, which can lead to greater benefits.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Baoguang stood up and rushed out of the headquarters. He shouted murderously at the guards officers and soldiers who were sitting and resting or lying on the dirt steps of the trench outside chatting: "Guards, urgent gathering!"

The practice of Chen Han's army, the system established in the early years of military consolidation, eliminated the traditional "private soldiers" system and replaced it with guard troops and guards.

Basically, a division has a guard regiment, a brigade has a guard battalion, a regiment has a guard team, a battalion has a guard platoon, and a team has a guard squad. Moreover, the guard units are all over-staffed. For example, the current guard unit has a total of 200 people. , the number is much larger than that of the ordinary team, and the firepower is even more fierce. All soldiers are equipped with breastplates and short muskets.

"Everything is there, look to the right... and stand at attention, take a break!"

As expected of the regiment's security forces, they assembled extremely quickly. At this time, the regiment instructor had already rushed out of the headquarters, "Brothers, the position of the second battalion and the first team has been lost. All officers and soldiers below the team officer were killed. The Russians opened a gap in our defense line. Although this gap is very small The gap is very small, but if we don’t block it first, this gap will eventually swallow up the results of our entire regiment’s hard work.”

All the officers and soldiers of the Guard immediately stood up to attention.

The instructor's eyes were like daggers, passing coldly over the faces of the two hundred officers and soldiers in the team, and said in a ferocious voice: "Let us take back the position, brothers, follow me!" After that, the instructor and Chen Baoguang took the lead and turned away. , all the officers and soldiers in the team agreed with a bang, and followed them like a gust of wind.

In less than twenty minutes, the guards walked through the communication trench with water up to their calves and arrived at the main position of the second battalion. The shadow of the Russian army appeared directly in front of the position. They rolled back the officers and soldiers of the second battalion who were struggling to resist, and gradually advanced towards the core position of the second battalion.

As soon as they reached the rear of the second battalion's main position, they were greeted by endless wails and screams, as well as a thick smell of blood. The soldiers of the guard were all calm and composed. They are all veterans, what scene have they not seen before?

When Omsk was besieged, which position in the specially set up medical care point was not filled with lightly and seriously injured people? The entire trench could be filled to the brim.

When cleaning up the battlefield, some soldiers had broken legs and lost arms. They were rolling in a pool of blood and wailing in pain. Many veterans of the Guard had the experience of covering the wounds of wounded soldiers in an attempt to stop the bleeding, while turning their heads and screaming at the top of their lungs. : The experience of “hygienist, where is the hygienist?”

Many others have seen their comrades and brothers bleeding to death before receiving proper treatment. When they died, they were still lying quietly at the bottom of the trench, staring blankly at the smoke-filled sky.

Some people even personally ‘liberated’ their comrades.

Yes, there are too many injuries in this era of war that are irreparable. Even doctors in field hospitals know that there is an open unspoken rule in the military medical system - truly seriously injured patients will not be treated. Unless there is a shortage of both manpower and medicine. But that situation will never happen here.

For those wounded who are waiting to die, giving them a shot/knife is not cruel, but a real good deed to relieve their pain as soon as possible.

The first time you encounter something like that, you will feel that all the hairs on your body stand on end. A musket that is usually as light as a straw will be heavier than Mount Tai at that time.

But two times, three times..., after they bumped into each other again and again, habits became natural, and a new recruit truly grew into a veteran.

No one is born a warrior, no matter how good the warrior is, he or she grows up as a recruit. The recruit camp will teach them all the skills to become an excellent soldier, but the real battlefield can make them truly strong. Because the battlefield can give them a strong heart.

Chen Baoguang took out his saber and said, "Brothers, our regiment is the best in the entire Northwest Military Region in bayonet fighting, and our guard is the first in our regiment in bayonet fighting. No one is allowed to be embarrassed today. All listen to my orders and I will count. At three, everyone will rush forward together, shoot first, and then kill these idiots!"

"Fuck these old fools!"

"You idiot, beat them to death!"

"Kill these scumbags!"

The veterans of the Guards from all over the world responded with a bang and clenched the muskets in their hands, as well as the muskets with bayonets fixed. Their eyes bloomed with determination, which was stronger than mountains and more bloodthirsty than wild wolves.

There was sudden silence in the trenches, but on the ground, the sound of gunfire and explosions became more and more intense, and the roars of the Russians got closer and closer.

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Baoguang took the lead and jumped onto the trench. With the double-barreled musket across his chest, he fired twice at the two tall Russian soldiers who were rushing forward. Because of the fear of accidental injury - the Russian army and the soldiers of the second battalion were all in a tangle, so grenades could not be thrown, and volley guns could not be fired, but handguns could be used.

The soldiers of the guard team are all equipped with a double-barreled pistol, which is a "privilege" of the guard team. And those who have money can buy a second pistol from the army, so at this time, three or four hundred pistols have already spewed firepower fiercely to the front. Almost in an instant, hundreds of fierce Russian soldiers fell to the ground.

In every battle, the soldiers who rushed to the front are the bravest soldiers in the entire army. The fall of these hundreds of Russian soldiers cannot be regarded as ordinary hundreds of Russian soldiers.

On that rainy night, after the Russian army suffered heavy casualties, it once pushed the front line to less than 200 meters away from the headquarters of the blocking force! But they finally failed to grasp this opportunity. Before dawn, Rumyantsev sighed and ordered the Russian army to switch from offense to defense. The opportunity in front of him has been missed, and he needs to consider the next battle.

It is no longer about how to win this battle, but how to preserve the existing Russian troops and withdraw from the battle safely.

Both sides were so tired that they formed a "tacit understanding" with each other - the explosions and shouts of the night stopped before dawn!

On the wasteland full of mud and sand, taking advantage of the intervals between battles, the soldiers of both sides began to desperately build defensive positions! Cheap wood became the most valuable military supplies at this moment.

"Sir, please eat a little!" A Russian staff officer carefully held the fragrant lunch box. Compared with the phenomenon that ordinary Russian soldiers could hardly eat even a mouthful of hot rice, Rumyantsev's life was still so "colorful". Even though there was no neat dining table, snow-white tablecloth, and clean porcelain plates and tableware, but only a lunch box with "hodgepodge" of food, it was not ordinary Russian soldiers who had too much richness. "You haven't eaten anything for almost a day!"

Since breakfast yesterday, Rumyantsev only drank two glasses of wine. Now it was light, not a whole day. Rumyantsev did not eat, nor did he close his eyes to sleep for a minute.

Rumyantsev, who was dressed in a neat marshal's uniform, was silent for a moment, but still took the lunch box. Although he had no intention of eating, he knew that he could not fall down at this time.

He had to muster up his strength to separate the troops from the Chinese, but he could not withdraw his troops immediately. In that case, it would be easy for the Russian army to lose its last breath, and if the Chinese pursued again, they would be finished.

In this way, it would be fine for both sides to return to the confrontation stage, but I was afraid that the Chinese would immediately start the explosive war [rocket].

Rumyantsev was not afraid that the Chinese would immediately start counterattacking. Although the strength of the Russian army was weaker than that of the Chinese army, it would not collapse in one blow. If the Chinese attacked fiercely, they would be filled with blood, and then the balance of the war would be restored.

What Rumyantsev feared most was that the Chinese were like a piece of oxhide candy, always sticking to the Russian army, only competing for consumption - rockets, and delaying the recovery speed of the Russian army's morale.

However, this first meal after dawn was still eaten peacefully.

The rain finally stopped.

Billowing black smoke rose from both sides' positions, which was the natural reaction of burning wood soaked by rain. This also shows that both sides were cooking.

After the rain stopped, the wind stopped, the air was extremely fresh, and the visibility returned to its original distance. Thanks to the telescope, people on both sides could see the food of the other side's front positions clearly.

The Wehrmacht raised hot air balloons, and the Russians rebuilt the watchtower.

From the pictures seen, it can be seen that the hierarchy within the Russian army is very strict. Not only is there a huge difference between officers and soldiers, but also between soldiers, the food level is also very different.

Elite soldiers and ordinary soldiers, ordinary soldiers and militia. The soldiers with the worst food seem to have only potatoes and soybeans, and the better soldiers have one or two pieces of black bread. Officers have side dishes, including meatballs, pickles, drinks and white bread. Senior officers will also have wine and smoked sausages, caviar, steaks, roast chicken, etc.

Of course, the last part refers to the army in the stationed state. In the war, it seems that it is just bread with potato soup, plus a glass of wine.

——Senior officers eat in tents, so they can't see it, but the dishes of food covered with lids sent out by the kitchen, although they don't look very friendly, the content inside must be good.

Although there are good and bad, in general, most Russian soldiers eat very badly. Don't say that the nutrition is reasonable, it's good to fill your stomach.

"The food of the Russian army is really bad..."
