Chapter 153 Blood Flows Into A River (Third Update, Please Subscribe!)
"Damn Russians, how many guns do they have?"
Lieutenant General Oshima Yoshisawa put down the binoculars in his hand, his face was already pale.
Seeing his own soldiers being bombed to death continuously by dense shells, his heart felt as if he was bleeding.
Even if he didn't treat those ordinary soldiers as human beings at all. However, even if it is cannon fodder, it should at least play a corresponding role. It's not worth it to be bombed to death by the Russians like this, right?
Of course, they still played a certain role, that is, they consumed a lot of artillery shells of the Tsarist Russian Army.
Colonel Mikio Shimamura also turned pale. Although as the chief of staff of his division, he didn't have to personally lead the soldiers to charge. However, seeing one by one of Pao Ze being blown to death like this, he still felt very uncomfortable.
Human life on the battlefield is too worthless, right?
Especially the lives of Japanese soldiers are very cheap.
"Da da da! da da da!"
The heavy machine guns on the positions of the Tsarist Russian Army began to fire, and the dense machine gun bullets roared like a violent storm.
"Puff! Puff!"
The bullets easily penetrated the chests of the Japanese soldiers. Blossoming blood flowers bloomed on their bodies.
A large number of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground.
"Da da da!"
The light machine guns on the ground also joined the shooting.
For a time, the crossfire formed by the light and heavy machine guns of the Tsarist Russian Army almost blocked the battlefield.
At this moment, the offensive momentum of the Orientals seemed to be completely contained. A large number of Dongyang soldiers were shot, and their bodies fell on the ground and on the river.
This made many Orientals seem to be frightened, lying on the ground to hide, unable to lift their heads.
Bullets whizzed past the heads of these Japanese soldiers, and some timid Japanese soldiers even peed their pants in fright.
After all, not all Orientals are so brave and not afraid of death at all.
Some Japanese soldiers confronted the Russian army with their thirty-year-old rifles.
However, the casualties they could cause to the Russian army were very limited, and they often exposed themselves, and were quickly sieved.
Under the blockade of the powerful firepower of the Russian army, the Eastern Army suffered heavy losses and could not move forward at all.
(adeg) "The Russian machine guns are too powerful, we need reinforcements!" A major officer suggested to Nambu Chenbing, the commander of the 6th Regiment of the Eastern Army
"Order the machine gun squadron to follow up immediately!" Commander Nambu Chen Bing ordered.
The 6th Infantry Regiment is also equipped with a machine gun squadron, equipped with 16 heavy machine guns.
Although, in total, there are not as many heavy machine guns as equipped by an infantry battalion of the Tsarist Russian Army. However, these heavy machine guns are also powerful firepower. It can also kill people. Even, it can prevent the Eastern Army from being powerless to fight back.
The machine gun squadron of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the Eastern Army began to move forward.
One by one, the machine gunners worked hard to carry heavy heavy machine guns, trying to reach the front of the battlefield, and the Russian army opened fire.
However, this action was quickly discovered by the Russian army.
The Russian army immediately ordered the mortars to fire on these machine guns.
"Boom boom boom!"
Several mortars fired rapidly, and the dense shells flew away with some heavy machine guns.
The shells exploded, and the Japanese machine gunners were blown to pieces. Even those heavy machine guns were blown into parts.
A machine gun squadron has 16 heavy machine guns. However, only four of them reached the front line in the end. The rest were destroyed on the way.
"Da da da!"
The heavy machine guns of the Orientals also opened fire, violently strafing the positions of the Russian army, killing some Russian soldiers.
But they were soon retaliated by the Russian army. Several 60mm mortars and 80mm mortars were aimed at the Japanese machine gun positions.
Soon, the artillery shells falling from the sky blasted the firepower of these machine guns of the Orientals to the sky.
Although the Japanese attack was fierce, the soldiers also performed very bravely. However, they ran into heavy artillery and machine gun fire from the Tsarist Russian Army.
So much so that their attack could not be successful at all, but seemed to be sending them to death.
Not long after, the front of the Tsarist Russian army's defense line was already full of corpses of Orientals.
This is especially true in the Shahe front.
The fierce battle blew up the thin ice layer on the river surface. The bodies of a large number of Orientals fell into the river. Blood flowed from their bodies, dyeing the river red.
The fierce attack of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Eastern Army lasted for two hours before it had to end. Not because of anything else, but because the loss is too great.
The 6th Infantry Regiment, the 7th Infantry Regiment, the 18th Infantry Regiment, and the 19th Infantry Regiment, which were the main attackers, all suffered heavy losses, with casualties exceeding 30%.
The Cavalry Wing, Engineer Wing, and Supplies Wing also suffered considerable losses.
The entire 3rd Infantry Division lost more than 8,000 people during the two-hour battle. This is undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to the 3rd Infantry Division.
At the same time, the attacks of the 4th, 6th and 8th Infantry Divisions were also frustrated. The losses of each of the three infantry divisions are in the thousands
It can be said that the Dongyang Army has lost more than 10,000 troops in this round of offensive.
Even if the Second Army of the Eastern Ocean Army has more than 130,000 troops, it can't hold it back!
If this continues, won't it be a while before they will all die?
The most important thing is that not only did it not break through the defense line of the Tsarist Russian Army, but it did not cause much loss to the Tsarist Russian Army.
The powerful firepower of the Tsarist Russian Army was vividly displayed in the battle.
The soldiers of the Eastern Army, though brave, disregarded life. However, in many cases, it is not brave enough to win.
The strength gap between the two sides is really too big. In other words, the brave charge of the Orientals was simply hitting a stone with an egg!
If they continue to attack, it will only make them pay a greater price.
Of course, this is also because the Japanese troops fought tenaciously. Even with such a large loss, the troops have not yet collapsed. If it is the army of other countries, even the army of a European power, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand it.
General Ao Baogong, the commander of the second army of the sixth rank in the East, understood at this moment how aggrieved General Kuroki Weizhen, the commander of the first army, was.
If he was still gloating before. So now, he can be regarded as empathetic. .
