Struggle in Russia

Sentinels who are not focused can easily go wrong. At two o'clock in the morning, the sentinels in the northwest were so tired that they fell asleep while standing. As a result, the Russian cavalry drove straight into the camp and turned everything upside down.

Although there were not too many casualties, only two to three hundred, it made the soldiers in the camp frightened and no one could sleep!

It was finally dawn. Not only did Kuludong himself have panda eyes, but most of his soldiers also had panda eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well at night!

"Boss, why don't we let our brothers take a break during the day? After working hard all day and night, we can no longer stand it."

Kuludong immediately lost his temper, stared at his blood-red eyes and roared: "No rest, continue to attack me! We didn't sleep well, could the black dog sleep well? Come on! Annihilate this group of black dogs I’ll let my brothers sleep for three days and three nights!”

Kuludong is also more energetic. He doesn't believe that the Russian army is invincible. Yes, his troops are very tired, but the Russian army is not tired?

Taking advantage of the exhaustion of the Russian army, we can defeat them in one go. As long as we remove the stumbling block in front of us, everything will be fine later!

The fierce battle started again, but this time the two sides were obviously not as agile as yesterday. Both the Russian army and the rebel army seemed to be in a daze at their feet. Some soldiers fell to the ground and screamed loudly while walking. Get up and sleep. There were even some soldiers who were holding their guns and taking aim, but they closed their eyes as they took aim.

Relatively speaking, the situation of the rebels was slightly better. Although they didn't have a good rest last night, they could at least stare for a while. But the Russian army is different. Last night, both soldiers and officers were working hard with a shovel.

They had been tired all night, so their physical strength was even weaker. To be honest, many soldiers felt that they could not lift their arms.

Fortunately, the Russian army is far superior to the rebels in one aspect, that is, it has sufficient artillery support. Kulentsov gave the artillery a death order, requiring them to fire with all their strength at all costs, striving to use the most intense firepower to support the exhausted Russian army on the front line. Soldier.

Throughout the morning, the artillerymen did not stop. They kept loading and moving ammunition and then aiming and firing. The artillerymen who were tired all night also gritted their teeth and persisted. Many loaders were half asleep and working with muscle memory.

Thanks to Kulentsov's good training, they did not make any big mistakes even though they were so confused. With their strong artillery support, the 27th Infantry Division finally survived another morning.

After the rebels retreated, many Russian soldiers sat down directly in the trenches or fortifications. No one had the strength to speak. After a while, a roar like a mountain and a tsunami came from the trenches and fortifications.

To be honest, this is actually very dangerous, because the battle is not over. The rebels on the opposite side may launch the next wave of attacks at any time, without even a sentry. If the enemy really comes to kill them, it will not be a loss of life.

It's just that Kulontsov did not criticize his soldiers for the first time. He knew that the soldiers were too tired!

"Will the rebels still attack?" Li Xiao was also frustrated. He asked while taking big gulps of coffee.

Kulentsov replied: "Probably, the person opposite may not give up so easily!"

His decision was correct. Of course Kuludong would not give up. How could he give up after paying such heavy casualties? Even if the soldiers promised, he couldn't agree!

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the rebels hurriedly had a simple lunch and immediately began to organize their troops, and then launched a new round of offensive non-stop, leaving less than an hour for the Russian army to rest.

This kind of high-intensity battle extremely tested the will of the soldiers. The 27th Infantry Division gradually couldn't support it and could only give up its positions bit by bit to trade space for time.

The fierce battle continued until four o'clock in the afternoon. The 27th Infantry Division had basically given up all the positions it could give up. Li Xiao and Kulentsov knew that the most critical moment had arrived!

Kulentsov and Li Xiao personally arrived at the front line with rifles. Not only them, but all the guards and even the medical staff in the headquarters picked up their rifles and entered the trenches. In Kulentsov's words: "We cannot retreat even a step from now on. All those who can hold a gun must be on the front line. The wounded who cannot hold a gun must help load bullets. Those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"

To be honest, Kulontsov did not expect that the battle would reach this point. In just two days, the 27th Infantry Division had only a thousand men left, and almost everyone was injured. Such a tragic battle was his fault. A military career like never before.

Facing the crazy attack of the rebels, he had no confidence at all, because he didn't know whether he could withstand it. After all, the enemies on the opposite side seem endless and they don't know how to get tired at all. After killing one batch and another batch coming, when will this end!

"Your Majesty the Grand Duke, I hope you will retreat now!" He said frankly to Li Xiao, "The situation is very bad. What follows will be a deadly battle. I can't guarantee your safety!"

However, Li Xiao didn't give in. He flatly rejected Kulentsov's suggestion and solemnly said: "The task I received is to snipe the enemies heading north. How can I retreat if the task is not completed? What's more, I am a war supervisor. Where can I go?" The war supervisor escaped from the battlefield? From now on, starting from me, the taskmasters are not allowed to retreat. They must either defeat the enemy or coexist with the position and perish!"

Li Xiao's decisiveness surprised Kulontsov. It's not that Russia's senior noble officers are timid. In fact, Maozi's nobles are relatively brave. It is not common to escape from battle. Most noble officers do not lack the courage to fight.

It's just that this can be divided into two parts. In the battle between countries, the noble officers naturally have nothing to say. They do have enough courage to fight to the end.

But that's because European countries treat noble officers preferentially. Even if they are captured, their lives will not be in danger, and they will even receive preferential treatment in life. It is not much different from our own.

But the current situation is completely different. This is counter-rebellion. The rebels don't care whether you are a noble or not. The more noble you are, the more they like it. They will cut off your head and kick the ball in every minute.

In this case, the courage of the noble officers must be compromised, because if they are captured, they will die, so who dares to risk their lives?

Therefore, the courage Li Xiao showed at this time was completely different from the courage shown by noble officers in ordinary times, and Kulentsov admired him even more.

He saluted Li Xiao: "Your Excellency, it is an honor to fight with you!"

Li Xiao also returned the greeting, but he didn't think as much as Kulentsov. In fact, he was optimistic about the current battle. He felt that even if the rebels could attack, it would be the last madness. As long as they could survive this period The rebels will collapse...
