Obmochaev hesitated for a moment, but did not order a retreat because the Russian army was approaching the overseas Chinese positions at this time, and Obmochaev also firmly believed that the initial round of violent shelling had a major blow to overseas Chinese, which would definitely cause considerable losses to overseas Chinese positions. Therefore, the Russian army's chances of breaking the overseas Chinese defense line are still very high.

In addition, Obmochaev had a bit of a gambler mentality at this time, because if the Russian army retreated at this time, the battle would definitely end in failure. Even if the Russian army could defeat overseas Chinese and break through Shanhaiguan in the future, his reputation would inevitably plummet. After all, he lost two field artillery battalions and his strength was greatly damaged, and it would be difficult to perform well in future battles. If he continued to attack and could capture the positions of overseas Chinese, even if he lost some troops, he could also save himself some face. At least this battle could not be considered a failure. Therefore, Obmochaev held the telescope tightly and stared at the battlefield ahead. At the same time, he also hoped that the Russian army could make a breath for him and break the positions of overseas Chinese.

Apalikov, who was watching the battle on the side, also had a serious face. It seemed that he had underestimated the strength of overseas Chinese. It seemed that it was not easy to break through Shanhaiguan. However, at this time, the two still did not interfere with the command of Obmochaev. After all, this battle was commanded by Obmochaev. If Obmochaev was stopped at this time, he might still be dissatisfied and would even put the responsibility for defeat on himself. Although Obmochaev was only a division commander, he was from a military family and a young and strong clan. He had a strong force and could not be underestimated.

In addition, in the hearts of the two, they often didn't feel lucky. They hoped that the Russian army could break through the defense line of overseas Chinese in one fell swoop, which would be considered a good start for the Russian army. However, after all, they were spectators, and their minds were still calmer than Obmochaev. It was not very likely to know that this situation was. Since overseas Chinese could easily destroy the two Russian field artillery battalions, wouldn't they be able to defend their positions? However, it is also good to understand the defensive tactics of overseas Chinese, so both of them also picked up telescopes to observe the situation on the battlefield.

The smoke covering the People's Army's position has gradually dispersed. It can be seen very clearly that the position is very empty and there seems to be no one. The Jimu and Jima who have begun to stand in front of the position have been blown up in the shelling just now. Although many are still standing on the position, there have been a large number of gaps.

At this time, the Russian army in the forefront had advanced to about 50 meters away from the People's Army's position. Although there was no support from artillery, it had entered the range of the rifle. I don't know that the Russian soldier shouted "Ula", then trotted, raised the rifle in his hand, and shot towards the People's Army's position. The behavior of this Russian soldier soon infected other Russian soldiers, and they all stepped on their legs and trotted forward, and shouted "Ula" while shooting. For a moment, the crisp gunshots of the m1891 Mosinnagan rifle and the sounds of the Russian soldiers shouting "Ula" and "Ula" also sounded.

Obmochaev saw this through a telescope, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited and prayed silently, hoping that the Russian army could break through the overseas Chinese positions in one fell swoop. Apalikov and Sokolov also had a little more confidence in the Russian army, and it seemed that there was some hope.

"Tadadadadada!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

At this moment, a dense gunshot sounded from the People's Army's positions, mixed with bombardment of small-caliber artillery, which immediately suppressed the Russian army's voice. Various bullets, small-caliber artillery shells were covered with dense rain, covering the Russian army's overwhelming sky. They tore open their muscles, smashed their bones, and rushed in the front row like dead grass under the wind, almost falling down in rows; and in the Russian army's array, there were continuous explosions, screams and wailing sounds.

The soldiers in the back row of the Russian army were smart and immediately knocked to the ground, or found a place to cover to avoid the People's Army's counterattack. However, some soldiers with not so smart minds still held their guns and shouted "Ula", and advanced forward. However, they did not run far and were quickly shot and fell to the ground. Therefore, the Russian army's attack was also strongly attacked by the People's Army, suppressed at a distance of about 30 meters, making it difficult to take another step forward.

The situation on the battlefield changed instantly, and Obmochaev could see it very clearly, and he was shocked. He did not expect that overseas Chinese would still have such strong resistance now. The violent shelling before the war did not seem to have caused any blow to overseas Chinese. Of course, it may be that after overseas Chinese were hit, the remaining resistance was still strong.

In fact, although the round of artillery attacks by the Russian army before the war seemed fierce, they did not cause any losses to the People's Army's positions. Of course, this was the People's Army's digging of the rising trenches.

In this era, due to the expansion of weapon performance, the corresponding tactical theories have not been developed together. In addition, all countries generally advocate offense and despise defense. Therefore, the role of each ** team in war is that after the emergence of continuous shooting weapons such as machine guns, they combine with the trenches to produce the effect of one plus one greater than two, which is generally not worthy of.

In the old time and space, it was during the Russo-Japanese War that the tactics of combining trenches and machine guns appeared, and the huge role in defensive operations was played. In the period of World War I, this defensive tactic was even more popular. It can be said that before the emergence of tanks, armored vehicles and weapons, as long as there were enough ammunition and troops, the difference in strength was not overwhelming, and it was almost impossible to break through the trenches defense line. Even if it was broken, it would inevitably suffer heavy losses and be difficult to compensate for the losses.

Although in the era of the Time Traveler, trench tactics were not the mainstream of war. After all, they had entered information wars, air-space integration, trenches, etc., which basically would not be used in general wars, but this does not mean that the Time Traveler did not know trench tactics. After all, the ancestors of the Time Traveler had already made this tactics superb. Therefore, there was a large amount of relevant information. In addition, the Time Traveler has accumulated a lot of practical experience until now, and has a lot of practical experience to prove the theoretical knowledge. Moreover, due to sufficient preparation time and the help of the Qing army and Shanhaiguan people, the trenches on the position were fully realized according to the intentions of the Time Traveler.

The trenches on the People's Army positions are basically in the style of the trench during the civil war in the old time and space, and referring to the trench tactics of Germany and Russia during World War II. Although the main force of Germany and Russia in World War II was armored forces, trench tactics are still an important tactic in defensive operations.

Not only are the winding bent and crisscrossed, the high bottom is staggered, and the deep bottom is staggered. Looking down from the air, it is generally scattered in a spider-web-like scattering arrangement. A large number of wooden horses are also placed outside the position and are hung with barbed wire. In addition to blocking the position, there are also room rooms, warehouses, medical rooms, offices, drainage ditches and other rooms in the trenches, all of which are located below the horizon. It is like a small city. In the node area of ​​the customs construction, logs of the thickness of bowls are used to make door beam-like support, which can withstand a considerable degree of shelling.

Such trench arrangements have a good defensive effect on artillery bombardment, and even if the shells fall into the trenches, their lethality is controlled within a very small range unless the enemy has large caliber heavy artillery bombardment. Now the Russian army only has medium-caliber field guns with straight ballistic ballistics, rather than howitzers with large curved arcs. Such artillery is difficult to hit artillery shells into the trenches.

At the beginning of the battle, the Russian army's shelling was indeed fierce, but all the soldiers of the People's Army hid in the trenches. The side walls of the trenches were against the back. The ground seemed to be trembling as the explosions outside the trenches seemed to be trembling. The veterans were able to keep calm and their faces were normal. There were also a few heartless people who were telling jokes, but the new recruits were pale and some even trembled. However, over time, few shells fell into the trenches, causing no casualties to the People's Army. Occasionally, soldiers were injured by splashed shrapnel, but medical staff came to treat them immediately.

As a result, the soldiers' courage became bigger and their emotions became much more stable. At this time, the People's Army's artillery also began to fight back, and the Russian artillery gradually silted until it evacuated backwards. There were only a dozen soldiers killed in the People's Army, and more than twenty soldiers were injured. The rest of the soldiers also stood up and occupied a good shooting position. They set up rifles, machine guns, and small-mouthed cannons on the edge of the trenches. After the Russian army entered the range, various weapons immediately opened fire together and launched a fierce attack on the Russian army.

The first and third battalions of the Second Regiment were responsible for guarding the Zhangjiachang Village position. There were about 130 soldiers in total, guarding two small hills. The second regiment headquarters were located behind these two small hills. The regiment commander Qiu Yahui watched the battle at a later location in the position, and also listened to the report of the drone coming back to understand the results of the shelling. Until now, the battle was basically carried out according to the expected expectations of the time travelers before the war. The People's Army used the trenches and lacked heavy artillery with the Russian army to block the Russian attack. Qiu Yahui was also a little relieved. To be honest, he was also quite worried before the war. After all, the Russian army faced this time was not an underestimable army in any era, and it was not comparable to the rabble like the Eight-Nation Alliance.
