Chapter 935: Artillery Superiority

The Tsarist Russian army shouted Ula and left the town, but they were not so stupid as to rush towards the Chinese army.

They stood in formation, wanting to relax and wait for work.

However, the Hua army has always been used to bullying people with the performance advantages of their weapons, and they will not attack without thinking. They have many ways to collapse the enemy.

The Chinese army stopped halfway through the rush, and then the field artillery fired with the advantage of range.

The Chinese Army’s Tactical Manual clearly stated the basic tactics of field duels. First, use the advantage of artillery range to attack the enemy with firepower, force the opponent to attack your own side, and give full play to the advantages of heavy machine guns when defending.

If the enemy chooses to retreat, pursue them quickly, forcing the enemy to panic and collapse during the retreat.

A range advantage, if used well, it can cause a lot of headaches for opponents.

"fire."

With an order, the artillery of the Chinese army sounded, and the shells soon fell on the Tsarist Russian army.

The shooting was not very accurate at the beginning, but soon the artillery made adjustments based on the information fed back from the front, and the accuracy of the subsequent shelling was much better.

A large number of shells fell into the Tsarist Russian soldiers, causing a lot of damage and causing their army to panic.

These soldiers were running around like headless chickens, not knowing what to do.

They have never encountered such a situation. When they were shelled before, they must have been very close to the enemy. But now, the Hua army is at least two or three miles away from them.

"Let's go, let's go first."

A few calm officers ordered.

Afterwards, these soldiers dispersed quickly to avoid being killed too many people at one time.

However, this can only reduce casualties at most, and it cannot change the situation that they cannot cheer.

Moreover, after dispersing, because they didn't know how to get down, and didn't know how to dig holes to avoid, their casualties were actually not small.

"Commander, you can't stand like this and get bombed, let the boys rush over."

Alexei said.

"Can't charge, Commander, the enemy's firepower is very fierce. The last time we didn't charge in front of the opponent, we collapsed because of too many casualties. We need to find a suitable terrain and hold on, or let the cavalry attack the artillery position on the opposite side .”

Sukov objected.

"That's because you are a group of cowards, and my subordinates will not back down until they die."

Alexey came up with the morale method, thinking that as long as he was not afraid of death, he could win.

 …

The unfavorable situation on the battlefield made Kolovsky a little irritable, and his subordinates were still having such meaningless arguments, which made him even more angry.

"Enough, order a full charge."

Kolovsky finally chose to take the initiative to attack.

They all met head-on, and retreating without a fight hurts morale.

Moreover, he didn't know how to fight the next time he encountered such a situation after retreating this time.

After much deliberation, it seems that there is only one way to choose.

Tsarist Russia began to charge, but the formation in front of them was very scattered, and the formation behind them was more concentrated.

This is the suggestion given by Su Kefu. The people in front are just to attract the attention of the Chinese army, they are cannon fodder for death, and the people behind are the main force to attack.

This suggestion was adopted by Kolowski.

Fighting the Chinese army for the first time, Kolovsky found that he could not use his previous experience and could only follow the suggestions of his subordinates. He had a bad feeling.

Tsarist Russia's relatively scattered assault formation did cause a little bit of trouble for the Chinese army.

The Chinese army wants to fight all the way to Europe, so it is natural to save ammunition.

Now that the enemy forces are so scattered, there will be conflicts between saving ammunition and destroying the enemy, and it is difficult to balance.

"Hit, be careful not to waste bullets."

After the Russian army entered the range, the Chinese army officer issued an order.

They didn't say to save bullets, they just told everyone not to waste them. The meaning is still to focus on killing the enemy, and then consider saving ammunition on the premise of killing the enemy.

Ever since, the continuous fire of the machine gun has become a burst fire, and the rifle is also dominated by burst fire.

If the officer didn't remind them, these soldiers who had just got their semi-automatic rifles, just to be on the safe side, might aim at an enemy and shoot continuously.

There are only a few sharpshooters. Even if most soldiers aim at the enemy, they need a certain chance to hit the enemy. It takes a few more shots to be safer.

If there was no reminder from the officer, these soldiers got good guns, and in order to shoot quickly, they would not just shoot out the bullets in one go.

With the officer's reminder, these people restrained a little.

The gunfire was not as intense as when the firepower was fully fired, but it still caused a lot of damage to the Tsarist Russian army.

When Tsarist Russia was charging, the artillery also moved to the designated position, and then launched an attack on the infantry positions of the Chinese army, decompressing the charging infantry.

Their range is not as good as the artillery of the Chinese army, but it is no problem to use it to hit a dozen infantry.

However, they fired less than two rounds of shells, and the artillery of the Chinese army turned its muzzle, gave up the bombing of the infantry, and aimed at the artillery positions of Tsarist Russia, giving priority to destroying their artillery.

Tsarist Russian artillery suffered immediately and suffered a major blow.

However, they attracted the artillery fire of the Chinese army in this way, which made the charging soldiers feel much better, and they no longer had to brave the artillery to advance.

Is it a profit or a loss to exchange artillery for infantry safety?

Well, it's hard to tell.

In short, Kolovsky's face was livid and very ugly.

Obviously, he is very dissatisfied with the current situation.

The power of the Chinese army's cannons exceeded his imagination, and they had vaguely become the masters on the battlefield.

The artillery in the past was only an auxiliary weapon on the battlefield, and it could only consume a little bit of the enemy's number and morale. The infantry ultimately decided the outcome.

However, the artillery of the Huajun refreshed his three views.

Not only him, Kolovsky's subordinates were also terrified by the artillery bombardment of the Chinese army at this time.

"What kind of artillery is this, why did it shoot so far?"

"The rate of fire and power are also extremely good. This kind of artillery is terrible."

"The enemy's artillery must be destroyed, or we will lose this battle."

As the generals discussed, they all felt that the artillery of the Chinese army was too threatening and had to be eradicated.

"Let the cavalry strike and destroy the enemy's artillery at all costs."

Kolovsky also knew that he could not let the artillery of the Chinese army continue to fight like this, so he dispatched precious cavalry.

Only the cavalry can complete this kind of fast-running task. If the infantry go, it may be too late in time.

But the cavalry is already his last hole card.

Less than half an hour after the start of the battle, Kolovsky played all his cards.

Next, he was out of resignation, so he couldn't do much else.
