Struggle in Russia

That afternoon, Odonrich personally led the team to launch fierce offensives one after another. The posture was like a violent storm, and the Russian army was retreating steadily.

As one fortification after another was occupied by the rebels, the second line of defense that the Russian army had just recovered not long ago was crumbling.

"Commander-in-Chief, do you want to invest more troops to counterattack and regain the position?"

However, this suggestion was rejected by Dmitri. For him, the second line of defense was actually of little significance. His purpose was just to hold back Odonrich. The fierce battles yesterday and today have bought enough time. The outflanking troops have arrived at the predetermined position. There is no need to fight hard with the opponent.

"No need, let the frontline troops be on guard at night, and we will switch to counterattack tomorrow morning!"

After giving the order, he waved his hand and left the headquarters. In his opinion, Odonrich was now a turtle in a urn and could never escape.

His eyes had shifted from the battle for positions to the entire battlefield, and he was already thinking about how to deal with the enemies in the south next.

However, Li Xiao is not as confident as Dmitry. He feels that Odonrich may not be that easy to deal with, even if the outflanking troops are in place, and even if his main force has consumed a lot of vitality and energy in the offensive. , but it is undeniable that he is a tenacious opponent.

If he can't be subdued immediately, he can still bite even if he only has one breath. Especially now that there is a large group of enemies to the south of the main force of the Russian army. Once these people suddenly join the battlefield while encircling Odonrich, it will be another mess!

However, he had already reminded Dmitri. In order to prevent accidents, Dmitri also strengthened the strength of the southern troops. If necessary, he could switch to defense and block on the spot to buy time for the main force.

It should be said that Dmitri has already done everything he can do. The next step can only depend on battlefield performance and luck.

The next day, when the sun had just emerged from the horizon, Odonrich had already woken up. In fact, he had not slept much last night, always worrying that the Russian army would repeat its same tactics of nighttime sneak attacks.

It was just that the boots did not hit the ground after worrying all night, which made Odonrich a little regretful, because he actually hoped that the Russian army would attack again at night, so that he could personally teach these guys a lesson and tell them that even at night he would Donrich is not someone to be trifled with either.

It was a pity that the Russian army did not come, which made him somewhat regretful, but he quickly recovered his mood and began to organize the troops to prepare for the war.

According to his plan, this morning he would break through the enemy's last line of defense, completely strangle the opponent's last will to resist, and reap the fruits of victory.

His preparations were meticulous and almost comprehensive, which shows how much he attaches importance to this victory. However, when he went to attack again, he found that the situation on the battlefield seemed completely different.

Although the enemy's resistance in yesterday's attack was very tenacious and the artillery fire was fierce, it was not at the same level as today. Let's talk about artillery fire. After a round of bullets, the number of soldiers he had just jumped out of the trench was reduced by nearly a quarter.

By the time the second and third rounds of bullets rained down, only one-fifth of the soldiers who could follow him to continue charging were left.

I just ran a hundred meters!

What was even more terrifying was what was behind him. The rifle firepower that greeted them was obviously stronger than yesterday. The hail of bullets almost never stopped, killing the soldiers around him one by one. When he rushed to a distance of less than a hundred meters from the opponent's position, Odonrich found that the only soldiers around him were a few three-legged cats.

And even these three-legged cats were scared out of their wits. They had already turned around and ran away. In other words, unless he was really brave enough to be invincible, it was best to run away immediately, otherwise he would be able to rush into the enemy's territory. The position will also be consumed alive.

Although Odonrich was fierce, he was not stupid. He knew that it was impossible to open up the situation by himself, so he had no choice but to turn around and retreat.

Yes, he was retreating, not escaping. He did not completely expose his back to the enemy, but used the shelters on the battlefield to cover his way back bit by bit in an orderly manner.

Of course, his luck is not generally good. If he were not the biological son of the goddess of luck, someone else would have been crushed by the fierce firepower of the Russian army.

"General, the enemy's firepower is very fierce, brothers can't rush forward!"

Odonrich sighed, looked at the Russian position opposite, and said helplessly: "Continue digging trenches, using the old method!"

Originally, he saw that the distance between the Russian army's third line of defense and the second line of defense was not particularly far, so he rushed forward with the purpose of quickly resolving the battle.

Now it seems that he still underestimated the opponent. Since he can't charge hard, let's continue digging holes! Although it is a bit of a waste of time, the win is that the loss is small!

It's just that Odonrich didn't know that he didn't have much time left, but when his troops were desperately digging forward, Dmitri's outflanking troops behind him had completely cut off his retreat and completely surrounded him. Got it!

At 11 o'clock in the morning, seeing that the distance between the trenches was close enough, Odonrich was about to organize his forces to charge again, when a soldier rolled up to him:

"General, it's bad, there are a lot of enemies around us, we are surrounded!"

Odonrich didn't quite believe the news when he first heard it. It wasn't until he went out for a walk that he realized the situation was very bad!

A large number of Russian troops appeared around his camp. These Russian troops seized the main commanding heights and traffic arteries and then began to dig trenches and build fortifications. They obviously wanted to trap him to death!

At this moment, his mind was full of questions, where did these Russian troops come from? I have never heard of such large-scale Russian military activities nearby!

It can only be said that he also suffered from poor reconnaissance on the battlefield. Without knowing the strength of his opponent at all, he stupidly hit the steel plate with his head, and now there was not much time left for him to react.

"Retreat immediately! Quick!"

His reaction was very quick, and he immediately realized that the situation was critical. Without hesitation, he gave up Srebnoye who almost had it in his mouth, turned around and prepared to break out!

However, Dmitri's reaction was not slow either. He issued an order almost at the same time, asking the soldiers on the third line of defense to go on the offensive, trying to hold back the opponent no matter what.

In addition, he also ordered the cavalry troops to prepare for battlefield response. Once they found out that the main force of the rebels wanted to break out, they would immediately attack them and say nothing to let them escape.

The situation on the battlefield immediately took a turn. The rebels, who had been attacking aggressively and frantically in the morning, had to switch to defense, struggling to resist the waves of Russian counterattacks. The guys who came out took out everything and aimed it at the rebels, and they dealt a violent blow...
