Chapter 91 Kill! Kill! Kill!
Seeing that Vette was shot and dropped, Ostov rushed over and helped Vette up: "Commander Vette, Vette, what's wrong with you?"
Witt struggled to get up from the ground and took out a deflated pocket watch from his chest and there was a bullet hole in the pocket watch.
Ostov held Vette with a worried look on his face and asked, "Commander Vette, are you okay?"
Witt chuckled, tearing open the clothes on his chest, and saw a twisted bullet stuck in his chest. A trace of blood spilled out of the corner of Witt's mouth, and he said, "It's nothing big. Fortunately, the golden pocket watch that His Majesty the Russian Emperor rewarded last time, otherwise the shot just now would have killed me!"
Ostov cried with joy: "Commander Witter, as long as you are fine! As long as you are fine!"
Witt gritted his teeth, broke away from Ostov's support, and said, "Get on the horse and rush out immediately!"
Ostov shook his head sadly and said, "Commander Witter, it's too late, look."
Gunshots were everywhere in the Cossack cavalry formation, and cavalry commanders kept falling from their horses. The commanders who fell off the horse were either shot on their foreheads or had a blood hole in their chests. The sharpshooter of the Southern Army was fatal, and after each gunshot, a cavalry commander would die.
The cavalry formation that Vite had finally organized was instantly disbanded again. The Cossack cavalry without unified command was in chaos. The Cossack cavalry fell into a dangerous situation where they had not fought and could no longer pose any threat to Nie Shicheng's central army.
Witt is now forced into a desperate situation. He didn't care about his injuries and found a new war horse and leaped up in an attempt to regain the decline.
However, when Witt boarded the horse and saw the situation clearly, he began to despair at that moment. After the collapse of the north gate of Jingzhou, the Cossack cavalry had no way out. The terrifying steel monster armored chariots had completely blocked their flanks, and the infantry corps in Nie Shicheng's camp also surrounded the remaining 3,000 Cossack cavalry. At this time, the Cossack cavalry became a real turtle in the jar.
Witt now finally understood why Feng Yuxiang said such arrogant words under Jingzhou City. It turned out that the Southern Army was fully capable of eating the Russian army in Jingzhou City in one bite. The reason why the Southern Army wanted to negotiate and persuade surrender was just because it didn't want to be so troublesome. Anyway, the final result was still the Russian army's defeat.
At this time, one man and one horseman walked out of the iron barrel-like encirclement of the southern army. This man was Feng Yuxiang.
Feng Yuxiang smiled and said, "Haha, Commander Witt, are you willing to put down your weapons now? If you don't put down your weapons, then the Cossack cavalry that you have always been proud of will be buried here."
Witt knew that the situation was hopeless, and if he resisted at this time, he would only increase unnecessary casualties. If he really wanted to continue, the three thousand Cossack cavalry behind him might not be enough for the southern troops in front of him!
Witt lowered his saber in dejectedly, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Forget it, forgot, now we are really losing!"
Seeing that their commanders had put down their weapons, the other Cossack cavalry lowered their heads and lances, then jumped off their horses and surrendered obediently. Some younger Cossack cavalry had tears in their eyes. They did not admit from their hearts that the Cossack cavalry galloping across the Eurasian continent would be defeated, but the situation at this time forced them to believe it.
Soon, all the Cossack cavalry put down their weapons. Feng Yuxiang ordered people to separate the Cossack cavalry and the war horses, and then gathered the surrendered Cossack cavalry together. Tens of thousands of southern troops around him looked at these once extremely arrogant Cossack cavalry coldly with spears.
"Haha!" A hearty laughter sounded from behind the encirclement. The soldiers of the southern army consciously made way for a road. An old man with a mighty expression led a group of officers to Wright.
Witt raised his head, smiled bitterly, and asked, "Are you Nie Shicheng?"
Nie Shicheng nodded and replied, "Yes, I am just me. I guess you are Commander Witter?"
Witt patted the dust on his military uniform and tried to try to be more comparable to Nie Shicheng. Witt said, "Is there any cigarette?"
Nie Shicheng tried a wink, and Jie Jiajun quickly handed Viter a cigarette, then lit a match for Viter.
Witt took a beautiful breath and said, "General Nie is worthy of being the most brave and good at fighting in the Qing Dynasty. I was convinced that I lost this battle.
Nie Shicheng smiled indifferently: "First of all, I want to correct it with Commander Witt. First, I am not a general of the Qing Dynasty. Second, I am not the most brave and good at fighting. Third, this battle can be said to be not under my command."
Witt was stunned and almost got burned by his cigarette butt. Witt asked, "It's not commanded by General Nie, who commanded it?"
"It's our commander-Tang Jian. Everything before this was arranged by him. I was just ordered to execute it. So, you don't have to convince me. The person you convinced is our commander." Nie Shicheng said.
"Commander Witt, do you still remember me?" Before Witt could react, Wang Jianchuan appeared in front of Witt with awp on his back.
Witt pointed at Wang Jianchuan in surprise and said hesitantly: "You...you...are the young man in a suit after Tang Jian's exercise when he was in Shiguan, Japan?"
Wang Jianchuan looked at Witt with contempt and said slowly: "It's just that I forgot to tell Commander Witt that my name is Wang Jianchuan. Haha, Commander Witt is not as tough as it is. It's okay to shoot like this, but it's not a good feeling!"
Witt subconsciously looked at the wound on his chest, and then looked at the awp behind Wang Jianchuan. Witt said in a lost voice: "Are you the sharpshooter of the Southern Army?"
Wang Jianchuan smiled confidently: "It's not just me!" After saying that, a whole row of snipers with AWPs stood behind Wang Jianchuan.
Witt was shocked again. In these two battles with the Southern Army, his Cossack cavalry suffered all the hardships of these sharpshooters. Now, when he looked up close, he was even more surprised. It turned out that there were so many sharpshooters in the Southern Army at the same time. No wonder his cavalry commanders all fell to death in such a short time.
Nie Shicheng's face darkened: "Please take care of all the prisoners of war and wait for the commander's call to reply before handling it. In addition, I also want Commander Viter to accompany me to see a good show!"
After Nie Shicheng said that, a medical officer from the Southern Army stepped forward and bandaged Witt's wounds, then separated Witt from the prisoners of war and brought him to Nie Shicheng's side. The Cossack cavalry under him were escorted to the side by a unit specially arranged by Feng Guozhang to the side for strict supervision.
Nie Shicheng took Wright to a high ground outside Jingzhou City. At this time, the fire in Jingzhou City had lost control, thick smoke rolled, and the raging fire reflected half of the sky. Even at such a distance from Jingzhou City, Wright still felt a wave of heat coming.
At this time, the Russian infantry corps in the city could no longer bear the scorching fire, and Russian soldiers fleeing in front of the city began to continue to flee at the gates of each city. After all, no one wanted to be burned to death in Jingzhou City.
Nie Shicheng handed the telescope to Witt and said, "Commander Witt, do you say that your Cossack cavalry failed to break through, and in which direction will the Russian infantry in the city break through?"
Witt's eyes twitched, and Nie Shicheng's question was obviously a waste of time. The north gate had collapsed, and the entire Jingzhou city was surrounded and was airtight. The infantry legion that lost the Cossack cavalry would be completely surrounded by the Southern Army no matter which city gate it concentrated its superior forces from.
The best way is to disperse the breakout from the gates of Jingzhou City, which can distract the main force of the Southern Army. The possibility of multiple small troops breaking through is relatively high, but the disadvantage is that they are easily broken through by the Southern Army.
In short, no matter how the breakout is, the possibility of the Russian infantry officers breaking through the entire army in the city is almost slim. Even if they break out in a scattered manner, a small part of them will escape under the premise of sacrificing large troops. However, in this way, the small group of infantry breaking out has no great threat to the Southern Army, and it is very likely that they will be pursued and annihilated by the armored vehicles of the Southern Army.
Witt deeply understood that in the battle of Jingzhou, the Russian army was completely defeated.
At this moment, a shocking shout sounded in Jingzhou City. As expected, Apraksin led the infantry officers in the city to break through several city gates.
As Witt expected, the infantry assault forces that broke out were dispersed and were soon divided and surrounded by the Southern Army. However, the subsequent battle was not what Witt imagined. No infantry broke out, and all were submerged in the rain of bullets of the Southern Army.
Witt couldn't bear to watch any more, so he lowered his head in grief. There was no suspense in the subsequent battle. It was not an exaggeration to call the Southern Army one-sided massacre of Russian infantry.
At this time, Vite no longer looked arrogant as the commander-in-chief of the Russian infantry and cavalry. He knelt in front of Nie Shicheng and begged, "General Nie, please stop your troops! We have been defeated, we have already surrendered!" After saying that, Vite was already crying.
Nie Shicheng snorted coldly and said, "Stop? Why didn't you stop when you went south and massacred the people of our country? Didn't the innocent dead people ask you to stop? You are not human, those simple ordinary people, and you don't even let go of the hungry children. Today, you ask me to let you go. Do you want to ask the dead people to agree?"
When Witt heard this, he collapsed helplessly on the ground and didn't speak for a long time. I wonder if he was repenting for the evil deeds he had committed.
The next massacre lasted for more than four hours. At the beginning, the Russian infantry were still fighting desperately, but when they found that no matter how they resisted, some people began to put down their weapons. However, even if they put down their weapons, the soldiers of the Southern Army continued to shoot and kill them, and after the bullets were finished, they would use big swords to kill them.
All the soldiers of the Southern Army received the death order from Nie Shicheng before, which was to kill! Kill! Kill! Kill all the Russian Russians without leaving any one!
