Chapter 483, you will return like lightning (2)
Arondar Mustafa Pasha's speculation about Baglation's troops was basically good. Baglation's troops rushed to attack lightly, and they did not carry much supplies. After a whole day of fighting, there was indeed a certain lack of ammunition. His position also made it difficult or even impossible for the Russian army to send him a supply team.
However, General Baglation's army was much less ammunition-deficient than Arondar Mustafa Pasha estimated. This was mainly due to two reasons. One reason was that the battlefield was controlled by the Russians, so after the war, the right to touch the corpse was in the hands of the Russians. Although the Turks' first day's attack was mainly to rely on the mixed fish to consume the bullets of Baglation, the ammunition on these mixed fish was generally less, but the few were still small, just like the larvae of the long beef. Although it was a little smaller, after removing the head, there was still some protein.
So after cleaning the battlefield, the Russians still obtained some ammunition. In addition, because the larvae that rushed up was mainly due to insufficient training and low morale, no, they were Sultan's personal soldiers. (Sultan's personal soldiers were once the most powerful and terrifying army in the Ottomans. They once gained the reputation of "superior one is less than ten thousand, and they are invincible" like an army in an Eastern country. However, now, this army has begun to encounter similar problems as the army in an Eastern country. But to be honest, Sultan's personal soldiers are still much stronger than the army in an Eastern country. At least they can still be used as auxiliary soldiers, and even under the supervision of the supervising team, they can still rush to the Russian positions. They are not as passionate as the army in the Eastern country.)
As for the Sultan's personal soldiers, if everyone uses bullets to shoot at each other, even if the casualties are greater, they can still hold on for a while. If the Russians fire at each other, the task of consuming Russian bullets can still be completed.
But General Baglation soon realized what kind of things the attacked were all. So he issued an order to his subordinates: "Let them get closer, don't shoot them. When they get closer, they will use bayonets to knock them down!" Speaking of which, the Russian Army's creed that bullets are fools and bayonets are heroes - was spoiled by the Sultan's personal soldiers.
Facts have also proved that bayonets are indeed the best way to deal with Sultan's personal soldiers. The Russian army waited for the Sultan's personal soldiers to approach the first trench in the second trench. When the Sultan's personal soldiers approached the first trench, they threw a round of grenades randomly, which made the Russians, including Baglation, feel heartbroken.
"Damn dog things! Don't throw them around! They are all mine! They are all mine!"
Then, the Russians were digging very special. The second trench and the first trench were only about ten meters away. Before the smoke from the grenade explosion had dissipated, Ivans rushed up with bayonets and howled. Then, naturally, the Sultan soldiers turned their heads and ran away. Then Ivans chased and poked them all the way. After the poke, they squatted down to touch the body to see if something broke out.
In general, the probability of Sudan's personal soldiers exploded things is not high, and the ones that were exposed were all low-end whiteboard products. Even if they were prefixed, they were basically "low quality", "damaged", "breaking" and so on. For example, grenades are basically made by Turkey. (In the reform of Selim III, Ottoman Turkey also built an arsenal with the help of the French and began to produce some new weapons. However, because of the management
The situation of chaos, embezzlement and misappropriation, and cutting corners is quite serious, so the things produced are not only of poor quality, but often have prefixes such as "breaking" and "damaged" and "bad" and not cheap. Of course, such things are all thrown to the Sultan's personal soldiers.) There are not even many low-priced copycats from the UK with "low quality" prefixes, and as for the authentic "Bonapartite melon" with "super strong" prefix, they have to think about it.
But having is better than not. So after a day of fighting, the Russians' ammunition loss was actually not particularly large.
The next morning, just as the morning mist was dissipated, Arondar Mustafa Pasha sent his most elite army to launch a decisive attack on the Russian positions in Baglation. He left the Sultan soldiers who were afraid of being killed yesterday, and left a part of the supervising team to supervise them to resist the attack of Kutuzov's army. Then he used the most elite army of 30,000 to launch an attack on the positions of General Baglation.
As soon as he saw the Turkish costumes opposite, General Baglation understood that the decisive time had come. He gave a passionate speech to the soldiers, and he told them that this would be the most decisive battle. As long as the main force of the Turks were eliminated in this battle, the great cause of regaining Constantinople, restoring Rome, and restoring the old capital would be within reach.
This sentence is said to the noble officers in the army. For them, letting the double-headed eagle flag flutter in Constantinople is of course very attractive to these noble officers. But it is not attractive to other gray animals. They have no idea what Constantinople is, nor do they know what the Senate and the Roman people have to do with them. They even know nothing about what the two-headed eagle flag of the Tsar meant. The glory of the Senate and the Roman people cannot inspire them.
So General Baglation then spoke to them: "Constantinople is the holy land of Christ, and there is the most important church of the Orthodox Church, the Cathedral of St. Sufia, which is the seat of the universal pastors. It is the glory of God and the Virgin. But since the evil pagans captured Constantine, they have transformed this glorious church into a pagan, blasphemous temple of Star Moon!
What a humiliation, devout believers! The Virgin is crying for this! Think about it, if we had the opportunity to liberate them, expel the evil pagans from the temple of our Father, and regain the shining light, but because of our weakness, we could not block the pagans, and thus missed the opportunity to restore the holy land of God, then in the future, when we are old and dead, and our souls come to the gate of heaven, facing St. Peter, who is guarding the key, will we be embarrassed to step into the gate of heaven?
The Gospels say: "Whoever wants to save his own life will lose his life; whoever loses his life for me will save his life." If we were today, because of our timidity, weakness, and fear of losing our lives, we would let go of the pagans; how can we be qualified to enter the gate of heaven in the future?
Therefore, for the sake of the many saints, for the tears of the Virgin, and for the salvation of our souls, I beg you, and I command you to take out all your courage and enthusiasm, and fight to the death with those evil pagans!
In today's battle, no one can take a step back! When the squad leader's retreat and escape, any soldier can shoot him; when the platoon leader's retreat and escape, any soldier can shoot him; when the company commander's retreat and escape, any soldier can shoot him; if anyone, including me, retreat and escape, any soldier can shoot him!"
The Russians have low cultural level, so religion has a great influence in Russia. The lower the level, the more animal it is, the more pious it is. If Bagladion's speech was said to the French, there would be a lot of laughter below, and everyone would definitely regard him as a clown who deliberately made everyone laugh. Just like Yukio Mishima, who gave a speech on the revival of Bushido on the balcony to the civil servants of the Self-Defense Forces. For the mud coaxing in later generations, the era of "smoke fluctuations in the Miluo Abyss" has passed, and for the French, the enthusiasm of the Crusaders is already a waste of tomorrow.
But in Russia, this set of things is still very touching, and the soldiers were also excited by this speech. General Baglation was very happy to see everyone's morale, so he made a promise to everyone while the iron was hot: "Everyone has vodka after winning this battle. If we can liberate Constantinople in the future, I will definitely drink with you for three days and three nights!"
So the entire army immediately made a deafening sound of "Ula".
Then the Turks bumped into them.
The intensity of today's battle is far greater than yesterday. The fighting will and combat skills of today's Turkish army are far beyond the Sultan personal soldiers yesterday. They rushed up like a tide under the cover of artillery fire.
Because time and materials are limited, the Russian army's defensive positions themselves are not perfect and the defense bonus they can provide is limited. Therefore, the Turks can rush to the Russian army's position almost every attack. Almost every time the Russian army finally had to rely on hand-to-hand combat to fight the Turks back. The consumption of ammunition was far from comparable yesterday. At the most critical moment, General Bagladion even rushed forward with a revolver in one hand and a saber in the other.
But the Turks were also in a bad situation. They rushed up again and again, and were then beaten back by the Russians again and again. Not to mention the heavy casualties of the soldiers, what was even more deadly was that the Sudanese soldiers were increasingly unable to stop Kutuzov's attack. Just now, these guys even fled, so that a most critical highland fell into Kutuzov's hands.
Kutuzov could cover and shoot the surrounding targets by pulling the cannons to this high ground. It felt a bit like Napoleon dragged the cannons to the Pratzen Heights in another space-time. At that time, the defense of the Turkish army would definitely be broken before they broke through the Russians' defense.
In order to avoid this terrible situation, Alondar Mustafa Pasha had to transfer the troops that were supposed to be used as a follow-up force to continue to attack General Bagladion's position in an attempt to regain the high ground, but this action itself means that today's assault is likely to be successful.
When the Turkish army began to retreat in panic, General Baglation immediately noticed the change in the situation. He stood up on the back of the war horse and looked at the retreating Turks. Seeing the Turkish flags tilted and the team was in chaos, he immediately issued an order to attack the Cossack cavalry.
The Cossacks shouted "Ula", urged their war horses, waved their sabers to rush towards the retreating Turks. The Turkish cavalry had been transferred to the rear to fight against Kutuzov's attack, so for a moment, the Turks had no other cavalry to deal with the Cossacks.
But if infantry were prepared, cavalry, especially light cavalry like Cossacks, actually had limited threats. After all, the range and accuracy of the rifles were far beyond those of the Cossacks, and the Chinese made revolvers with the "substant" prefix and sabres that were only 90cm long. However, at this time, the Turks were not ready to defend against the cavalry. Their formation was chaotic and their attention was placed on Kutuzov. When they found that the Cossacks were rushing up, it was too late to react appropriately.
However, these Turks are indeed elite. Pagans trained by the French made a volley before the Cossacks rushed up. This volley killed many Cossacks. However, they had no chance to perform the second round of shooting.
The Cossacks shouted wildly, and with the help of the speed of the war horses, they threw larger grenades at them, and then waved their sabers and hit them.
This round of grenades disrupted the Turks' already sluggish formation, and then the cavalry rushed up. The captain of the cavalry, Melekhov, stretched out his sabre and gently dragged a Turk to the ground with the speed of the war horse. Then he leaned out to the left, slashed and slashed the other Turk who was fleeing to the ground.
Driven by the cavalry, these Turks were in a mess, running back indiscriminately, while the Cossacks deliberately controlled their speed and drove them away like sheep dogs driving the flock. Their defeated soldiers crashed head-on into other Turkish troops, and rolled them in, and made the out-of-control, chaotic defeats grow bigger and bigger like snowballs.
In order to prevent the entire army from being involved, Alondar Mustafa Pasha had to stop the retreat and fire at the defeated troops that were attacking the army, so that he could repel the Russians' counterattack. However, this also meant that he had no time to reinforce the battle in the rear.
Kutuzov used this time to consolidate the defense of the highlands. Now, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided.
