Tsarist Russia: Please Call Me Your Majesty The Tsar

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Tsarist Russian Army has assembled 13 infantry divisions and two heavy artillery brigades in the direction of Dashiqiao.

Hundreds of 155mm heavy howitzers and 105mm light howitzers, as well as a larger number of 75mm field guns, crazily bombarded the Japanese defense line violently.

It was as if these shells were thrown at the positions of the Orientals without any money at all.

The sound of dense explosions continued to resound in the positions of the Orientals.

The gunpowder smoke and flames completely enveloped the defense line of the Orientals inside.

At this moment, the defense line that the Orientals painstakingly built was like paper, and it was easily destroyed by the shelling of the Tsarist Russian Army. The soldiers of the Eastern Army on the garrison positions suffered heavy casualties. A lot of Japanese soldiers were blown to pieces, and their limbs and arms were scattered everywhere. The entire battlefield appeared extremely tragic "just like Shura's hell.

Although the Orientals learned a lot of new tactics in the battle with the Tsarist Russian Army. For example, the excavation of trenches, the deployment of firepower points and so on. But at this moment, facing the powerful firepower of Tsarist Russia, the soldiers of the Eastern Army, although they are very brave. In the battle, it is even more brave and fearless. But even so, you can't resist it at all!

Under the fierce shelling of the Tsarist Russian Army, the Eastern Army on the defense line had already suffered extremely heavy losses. Then, if attacked by the infantry of the Tsarist Russian Army, it would be even more irresistible. Especially when the infantry of the Tsarist Russian Army was attacking, they could also receive fire support from powerful mortars and heavy machine guns. There is also the powerful firepower of light mortars and light machine guns to restrict the attack on the Japanese defense line. Under such circumstances, the Eastern Army is no longer the opponent of the Tsarist Russian Army.

Originally, the Fifth Army of the Eastern Army dispatched as many as five infantry divisions, and Tian Duowan attacked Dashiqiao.

However, under the resistance of the defenders of Dashiqiao and the powerful firepower of the Russian army, the Eastern Army suffered heavy losses. Of the five infantry divisions, there are only about a hundred thousand people left.

Now, facing the attack of the superior force of the Russian army, they are even more unable to resist.

The division heads of several infantry divisions frantically asked the headquarters for reinforcements.

General Kawamura Keimei, commander of the Fifth Army of the Eastern Army, had no choice but to order the 31st and 32nd Infantry Divisions as reserves to be put on the battlefield.

More than 57,000 people from the two infantry divisions joined the battle, which played a certain role.

However, the firepower of the Russian army is too powerful. Before each round of attack, heavy artillery will be used first to open fire on the defense line of the Eastern Army. First use violent artillery fire to destroy the defense lines and firepower points of the Orientals as much as possible, and cause great casualties to the defenders of the Orientals, damaging their morale and fighting spirit. Then dispatch the infantry, with the assistance of our own powerful machine gun firepower and support firepower, to attack the defense line of the Orientals.

Although, the soldiers of the Orientals were very brave. Especially those officers who were deeply poisoned by the spirit of Bushido led the soldiers to fight to the end and fight to the last moment.

But even so, they could not resist the attack of the Russian army.

The same is true even if fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out on many defense lines.

Under such circumstances, the defense line of the Eastern Army was constantly broken by the Russian army. The losses of the Eastern Army are also increasing.

"Your Excellency, the Russians' attack was too fierce. They dispatched at least three times as many troops as ours. They used ten times as many types of artillery as ours. The troops on the front line suffered heavy losses and could no longer bear it. Lieutenant General Matsuyong Masatoshi, commander of the 25th Division of the Eastern Army Infantry, reported.

"Damn! Damn Russians, besides suppressing us with firepower, do they know other tactics?" General Keiaki Kawamura was very angry.

But I have to admit that this tactic of the Russians was very successful. At the same time, it can also effectively reduce its own casualties.

However, this requires very high logistical supplies.

Cannons of various calibers fired violently, and the consumption of shells was naturally not a small number. All kinds of light and heavy machine guns fired fiercely, which also required the consumption of the Great Emperor's bullets.

Fortunately, the Tsarist Russian Empire had already stored a large number of shells and bullets in the Far East before the war broke out. After the war broke out, more ammunition and other materials were continuously transported to the Far East through the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Next, the Tsarist Russian Empire Navy has won the naval battle. Then, the Tsarist Russian Empire can also transport materials by sea.

This also means that the supplies of all aspects of the Tsarist Russian Army will be more sufficient. Naturally, they will be able to fully display their powerful firepower on the battlefield.

And this will undoubtedly be a disaster for the Orientals.

After all, they have already paid a huge price under the powerful firepower of the Tsarist Russian Army.

The situation on the front line is so dire that General Notsu Michitsuki, who just now served as the deputy commander of the Manchurian Army [naturally cannot sit still.

"Your Excellency, the Russians' offensive was too violent. Especially they used a large number of heavy artillery to participate in the offensive. So much so that the defense line we built didn't play a big role at all. It was easily defeated The Russians broke through. The troops on the front line suffered extremely heavy losses because of this." Kawamura Keiming was very annoyed.

The original Fifth Army was the most powerful among the armies under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Army, with as many as 17 infantry divisions.

However, 4 infantry divisions were assigned to the third army and 3 infantry divisions were assigned to the tenth army. So that the Fifth Army now has only ten infantry divisions left.

At present, these ten infantry divisions have all been dispatched to the battlefield. But they still couldn't resist the powerful Russians.

General Nozu Michitsu frowned tightly, and he also realized that the current situation was too unfavorable for them.

"The country requires us to find a way to resist the Russian attack and cause a lot of losses to the Russians. This will help us negotiate with the Russians." Ye Jiandao Guantian said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is simply impossible!" General Keimei Kawamura shook his head repeatedly.

General Notsu Michitsu also understood this point: "We can't go on like this, order the front-line troops to give up the attack on the Dashiqiao, and withdraw to Yingkou and stick to it!"

Facing the powerful attack of the Russian army, they can only retreat so that they can gather more troops to resist the attack of the Russian army. .
