Struggle in Russia

Chapter 1216 Attack and Defense (Part 2)

Li Xiao said to Dmitri: "Defense is always more passive than offense. Judging from the enemy's offensive, they have high morale and it is not easy for us to hold on. I think we should not be passive and take a beating, but to suppress them as quickly as possible with attack." !”

Dmitri was stunned. In fact, not only he was stunned, but his staff were also stunned, because in their simple military consciousness, if the enemy's attack is so powerful, they must only strengthen the defense and defend!

Why do you still want to fight attack with attack? Can it be done?

Li Xiao thinks it is okay: "We have just seen that although the enemy won, the victory was very reluctant. To put it bluntly, a lot of energy and morale have been consumed. This is the weakest time. We should fight back decisively, even if we cannot Even if we regain the lost positions, we will continue to consume them and make them lose energy to continue attacking!"

Li Xiao's analysis was correct. Odonrich sat in the trench panting and stared at the Russian corpses around him in a daze.

Such a bloody battle was also very draining for him. At this moment, he felt as if his legs were filled with lead and he couldn't even lift his fingers.

He knew that he had to take a break quickly, otherwise it would be difficult to say whether he could hold this front, let alone penetrate the enemy's defense line in one go.

Think about it, if even a strong man like him is weak, wouldn't the soldiers under him be even weaker?

However, he reacted quickly, suppressing his fatigue and ordering the reinforcements to come up. As soon as the reinforcements came up, he should be able to stand firm.

He reacted quickly, but Dmitri was not slow either. Li Xiao's words immediately woke him up. He threw his troops into the fight without hesitation and ordered the mortars to fire with all their strength. For a moment, Odongli Qi is trapped in a sea of ​​iron and fire, and may capsize at any time.

The fierce artillery fire lasted for ten minutes. As soon as Odonrich raised his head, he discovered that the Russian counterattack troops had reached a position more than 200 meters in front of the position. This distance left him little reaction time. He could only While ordering the soldiers who were stunned by the explosion to stand up and shoot, they were ready to meet the opponent's counterattack.

It's just that the military quality of the rebel soldiers is too poor. If they can fire two shots per minute with muzzle-loading guns, they are considered excellent. Most of the rebel soldiers did not have time to reload in the last round of fierce battles and faced the charge. The Russian army in the middle was so panicked that they either got the loading sequence wrong or simply gave up loading.

Therefore, the charging Russian army suffered almost no losses, and then the two groups of troops collided together in the trench again. It was another pure hand-to-hand battle. Last time, the rebels had the advantage, but this time, the Russian army had the advantage. .

First of all, they had more physical strength, and secondly, they had more momentum, so Odonrich could only watch his soldiers being knocked to the ground one by one by the Russian army. To be honest, his heart was bleeding, because these people They are all veterans who followed him into battle, and each one of them has a very high bravery value among the rebels.

Odonrich's eyes turned red. He turned into an emotionless killing machine, just mechanically slashing with a knife. But the number of Russian troops was too great, and how many could he kill alone.

Instead, the little physical strength he finally recovered was quickly consumed. Every swing of the sword felt as heavy as a ton. Gradually, his movements became slower and slower and less efficient.

If this trend continued, Odonrich would receive the lunch box in less than three minutes, but his previous order still saved him.

With the arrival of rebel reinforcements, the Russian counterattack was finally repelled. Odonrich panted and stared at the escaping Russian soldiers with his knife, losing the strength to pursue them.

He even doubted whether he would fall to the ground if he dropped the shuriken, but he finally held his position, and the result was not too bad.

Dmitri on the other side also sighed. The feeling of failure was indeed too bad. It was obviously just a little bit close, but he couldn't make it out. He couldn't blame the attacking troops because they did perform well and had already tried their best. Rushing.

But this result is so painful, who do you think he can reason with?

"It doesn't matter. If possible, we should organize one or two more counterattacks. The interval should be about fifteen minutes!"

Dmitri didn't ask why he was still charging, nor did he say what to do if he still couldn't regain the position and his morale was low if he continued to charge.

Because he knew what Li Xiao said was right, and now he could only fight hard. If the enemy on the opposite side could slow down, then with their morale, they would definitely be able to break through the third line of defense in one go.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to order the troops to continue organizing counterattacks, but the scale was not as large as last time. Only one or two companies were invested each time, and repeated charges continued to consume the enemy's physical strength.

This counterattack continued until the evening, and finally repelled the Russian army's last counterattack. Odonrich breathed a long sigh of relief as he looked at the sun that was about to sink completely below the horizon.

"Should this be over?"

To be honest, he didn't even want to move a finger now. He was so tired that in the end he just gritted his teeth to hold on.

But fortunately, it was finally over. After looking at the battlefield strewn with corpses, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he rested for one night and waited for tomorrow morning, he should be able to break through the enemy's defenses and seize the fruits of victory.

He licked his lips. Although the process of eating the fruit was a bit difficult, he would feel more accomplished when he actually ate it. He couldn't wait.

It's just that Odonrich didn't expect that he would not be able to eat the fruits of victory, because Li Xiao would not give him a chance to rest for a night and would launch a large-scale night attack tonight!

Dmitri looked at the dark night sky. According to the scheduled plan, the night attack would begin in 15 minutes. The purpose was naturally to regain the second line of defense.

However, he was not particularly confident in this. The main reason was that the rebels' willpower exceeded his expectations. The bloody and cruel hand-to-hand combat in the afternoon failed to repel them. Will the night attack be effective at night?

Li Xiao saw his worries and said calmly: "We consumed them for a whole afternoon, and even though we could not regain the position in the end, the rebels must be tired and hungry at this time, and their troops are not as sufficient as ours. We have a large number of reserves that can be put into the battlefield, but they can only resist hard. I judge that their vigilance will be relatively low tonight. After all, according to their ideas, they have defeated us. We cannot have the courage to fight them again. As long as Our organization is strong and it is not difficult to regain the position!”

In fact, Dmitri understands the truth, but he is really not particularly optimistic about the organizational ability of his troops, especially the organizational ability of night battles...
