Chapter 467: Against the Russian Army (4)

In fact, when the Russian army entered Yehegou Village, the People's Army had already launched an operation, responsible for cutting off the Russian army's retreat, which was the 4th Army of the People's Army. When participating in the Battle of Yalu River, the 4th Army only dispatched two divisions and two regiments of troops, and one division stationed at the right wing position of Shilihe was also the original unit of the 4th Army. Therefore, after the convergence, three divisions and two regiments of troops were concentrated, and the slanting movement was carried out from the Russian flank at 5 pm that day.

The reason I chose this time is because it was almost dark at this time. After the People's Army reached the designated location, it was getting dark. Even if the Russian army wanted to fight back, it would have to wait until dawn tomorrow. After all, in this era, only the People's Army had the conditions to carry out large-scale battles at night. So at around 7 o'clock in the evening, the 4th Army successively occupied Zhujiadian, Taizigou, Paoshan and other places.

In fact, after occupying these places, the Russian army also left a small number of troops to guard the army, but the number was not large. Generally, one position had 1-2 companies and less than one battalion of troops. Therefore, it was no match for the People's Army at all, and it caused almost no obstacles to the People's Army. Moreover, because it was getting late and the terrain was complicated, the Russian guards did not report this situation to the headquarters of the 1st Army. As a result, Stagri Fort sent the 5th Division of the 2nd Siberian Army, and when it arrived at Zhujiadian to garrison, it was one step too late. Moreover, after the 5th Division set off, Stagri Fort received the news, but the 5th Division had set off for nearly an hour. Although he immediately sent a communications soldier to notify the 5th Division of the 5th Division, the news was not finally delivered to the 5th Division due to its darkness.

In fact, the People's Army has been closely monitoring the Russian army's dynamics. Not only did a large number of scouts appear, but two aircraft also took turns to monitor the Russian army's operations. When the Russian 5th Division set off, it was almost 6 pm. Since it was June, the day was long and the night was short, the sky was still high at this time, and it was the last surveillance time for the aircraft. In another hour, the drone would be responsible for monitoring. As a result, the operation of the 5th Division was discovered by the aircraft, reported to the command center, and nearby scouts were notified to closely monitor the 5th Army. This is also the communication advantage of the People's Army. Once the situation was discovered, it could be notified to other troops at the first time and responded immediately.

After receiving the report, the command center immediately analyzed the Russian army's actions and finally believed that the Russian army's operation was to protect the flanks, and the target location should be Zhujiadian. Therefore, the Russian army must be annihilated to ensure that the Russian army is encircled. So the command center immediately notified the 4th Army's headquarters to prepare for the Russian army, and release drones to conduct air monitoring of the Russian army, and grasp the dynamics of the Russian army. In addition, other departments were also notified to the other departments that the siege of the Russian army, which was originally planned to start at 5 a.m. the next day, will start until 12 a.m. tonight.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The commander of the 5th Division of the Russian Army was Lieutenant General Alekseyev, an old soldier. Because he was a civilian, he was able to become a master and had full experience. Otherwise, with his rank as a lieutenant general, he should be at least an official position at the level of the commander.

When the 5th Division arrived near Zhujiadian, it was 7 o'clock at night. The sky was basically dark. Only the junction of the western world could see a little red glow. Because they were all marching in the mountains and forests in the suburbs and the road was narrow, the Russian army was forced to be long. And they should have been dispatched to perform tasks during rest, and they didn't even have time to eat supper, which also made the soldiers and officers of the 5th Division complain.

Although Alekseev was not happy, he was the division commander after all. Of course, he could not complain with the soldiers at this time. Fortunately, he was about to arrive at Zhujiadian. After arriving at Zhujiadian, the entire army could rest and cook. Therefore, Alekseev ordered the entire army to accelerate its march and strive to arrive at Zhujiadian before it was dark.

At this moment, a few sharp sounds of breaking through the air came from the air, and Alekseev couldn't help but change his face. He had been in the army for decades, so he could naturally hear what this sound was. But before Alekseev could react, "Boom boom boom boom boom!" There were continuous explosions in the Russian army's queue.

The Russian army was not prepared for this at all. Many soldiers were killed and injured by the explosion site, and other soldiers couldn't help but get into chaos. The shells were still falling from the air, and more and more, and they exploded continuously in the Russian army's ranks to create killing.

Alekseyev was also a little at a loss at this time because he didn't know where the shells were fired, but one thing was clear, that was, the Russian army was ambushed by the People's Army, so he also thought and responded urgently in his mind.

In fact, the Russian army had no good choice at this time. It was nothing more than advancing or retreating. Advancing was to arrive at Zhujiadian as soon as possible. There were two Russian companies stationed there, which could be used to support it, which could ensure that most military personnel were guaranteed. However, the People's Army might have taken down Zhujiadian long ago; and retreating took a long time. Under the attack of the People's Army, it was fighting in the darkness. It would be difficult to maintain the army's organization, and the few people could escape.

But now Alekseev cannot think too much about it, because the shells are still falling in the air, and the two shells are very close to Alekseev and others, and the scattered shrapnel even hurt several people. Therefore, Alekseev decided to retreat backwards and bring out as many people as he could.

In fact, the Russian army was in chaos at this time, and the sky was getting dark. Less than half of the team that Alekseyev could command, and the rest of them had long been running to where they had gone. So Alekseyev led the army that could command quickly and retreated to the rear.

However, the Russian army retreated less than 500 meters, and there were dense gunfire sounds coming from the front. The Russian army fell down in the front row. In the dark night, the Russian army did not know how many troops the People's Army had to intercept them in front. Some soldiers attacked forward, trying to break through the People's Army's defense line in one fell swoop; some Russian soldiers simply lie down on the ground to avoid bullets, while others ran backwards, immediately chasing this part of the Russian army's team.

At this moment, the People's Army broke out on both sides of the Russian army and launched a hand-to-hand combat with the Russian army.

It turned out that after receiving this news, the 4th Army immediately organized two divisions to attack the Russian army. Although the 4th Army's preparations were very hasty and did not even have an hour, since the Russian army's itinerary was completely under the surveillance of the People's Army, the 4th Army successfully ambushed the Russian army.

First, the mortar troops used the data provided by the drone to conduct indirect aiming and launch artillery attacks on the Russian army, successfully disrupting the order of the Russian army. When the Russian army retreated, it was discovered again when the drone was discovered, so the People's Army quickly organized the army to intercept. In fact, the People's Army's positions intercepted the Russian army were also hastily arranged, only more than 100 meters away from the Russian army, and the number of people was only two companies, with only more than 300 people. However, 12 machine guns from two companies were concentrated to fire together, forming a dense fire net. The Russian army was in a hurry to prevent the attack, and the casualties were heavy.

If it was during the day, the Russian army would find that there were not many people intercepting the People's Army, and they only rely on a few machine guns to support the battle situation. At this time, if the whole army works together and charges hard, they are still very sure to break through the People's Army's interception. However, because it was at night, the Russian army did not know how many people intercepted it, but only felt that the firepower was strong and the barrage was dense. In addition, the command and dispatch at night had great problems, so they could not attack together, but were disrupted by the People's Army. So the People's Army, which were ambushing on both sides, broke out, and both sides began to fight in close-fitting hand-to-hand combat.

In terms of the ability of hand-to-hand combat, the Russian soldiers are far above the soldiers of the People's Army. After all, the Russian soldiers are tall and strong, and naturally have great advantages in hand-to-hand combat. In fact, when fighting with the Japanese army, the Russian soldiers' hand-to-hand combat capabilities are far superior to the Japanese army. Generally, a Russian soldier can defeat 2-3 Japanese soldiers in hand-to-hand combat, not to mention that the People's Army's hand-to-hand combat capabilities are slightly inferior to those of Japan.

However, the People's Army's close combat method is not just a simple bayonet, but a comprehensive use of *, 96 pistols and bayonets. After several battles with the Japanese army, the People's Army has become very skilled in close combat using these weapons, and is far less unfamiliar with the new battle when they first participated in the war. In fact, in the Battle of Liaoyang, the People's Army's close combat ability was stronger than that of the Japanese army.

After the two sides entered hand-to-hand combat, the Russian army realized that they had never encountered such a melee mode. When the distance was 20 meters, the People's Army began to throw *. Even if the explosion was limited, the splashes were still quite lethal. Even if the Russian soldiers were not killed, they were still very injured. Then they used a Type 96 pistol to shoot continuously within a distance of 10 meters. Many Russian soldiers were only 2 or 3 steps away and could rush to the People's Army, but they were shot and fell down and could never get up again.

When both sides really started bayonets against bayonets, the Russian soldiers had already stopped for 4 or 5. In the bayonet battle, the People's Army's Type 96 pistols could still play an important role. Many Russian soldiers were hit by a bullet from where they were holding rifles, staring at their opponents, and looking for opportunities to sprint.

In addition, the order of the Russian army is now in chaos and has no organization, so they can only fight on their own. In close combat, they are defeated by the People's Army. As a result, they are naturally killed and injured by the People's Army and buried in the fields.
