Swoosh!
Hearing that it was the marshal's handwritten telegram, the two of them stood up and straightened their clothes.
"Read!"
" To the 2nd Infantry Division, 16th Infantry Division of the First Army of the Feng Army..."
The telegram was very long, and the content was basically praising the bravery of the 16th Infantry Division. The surprise attack on the town of Gusvenv played a key role in the situation on the Western Front. The 16th Infantry Division was the first to be credited for this war.
Finally, he told Qiu Qingquan and Zhang Lingpu to guard Gusvenv, cut off the Siberian railway, and stop the Polar Bear Army from supporting Ulan-Ude Chita to buy time for the main force of the Western Front.
"You are our national heroes. The 45 million soldiers and civilians of Feng Clan and I look forward to your triumphant return!”
"November 11th, 1929, Jiang Yun 'an!”
The communications staff officer's eyes were already wet after reading the telegram.
Only they knew how difficult it was to march more than 100 kilometers in the extreme weather of Siberia and surprise attack the town of Gusvenv.
His contributions were recognized by the marshal and he was even praised as a national hero. All the hardships he had suffered turned into pride.
Qiu Qingquan and Zhang Lingpu were also teary-eyed because the telegram had mentioned that they would cremate the dead soldiers on the spot and bring them back one by one. When the war was over, they would hold a national funeral for the dead soldiers and bury them all in the Longhu Mountain Cemetery for Martyrs on the outskirts of Fengtian.
On the outskirts of Fengtian, Mount Longhu, the grave of his teacher.
"The Cemetery for Martyrs is built on Mount Longhu. Doesn't that mean we can go and accompany our teacher?" Qiu Qingquan asked in disbelief.”
Zhang Lingpu turned to look in the direction of Fengtian. A deep longing appeared on his face, and tears flowed out of his eyes.
He, Qiu Qingquan, Dai Anlan, Sun Liren, and the other young generals had all come to the northeast when they were seven or eight years old. To them, their teacher, Jiang Xiong, was both a teacher and a father!
As the old saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life.
Their teacher's kindness to them was not as simple as nurturing and supporting them, giving them power and wealth.
Even their families had been properly arranged so that they could learn and grow without worry.
He was 27 years old this year, and Qiu Qingquan was 28 years old. He had been promoted to major general last year and was the commander of the main division.
There was no way to repay this kindness.
In a trance, Zhang Lingpu recalled how his teacher taught them strictly when they were young and tirelessly taught them how to behave.
"That's right, the marshal understands us the best. After we die, we can be buried in Mount Longhu to accompany our teacher.”
Qiu Qing Quan was so excited that he danced around.
"Hahaha, long live the marshal!"
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, scaring Qiu Qing Quan so much that he almost fell to the ground.
He regained his seriousness and hurriedly ran to the observation port to look out. The black mass of polar bear soldiers on the snow came into view, followed by the sound of intensive gunfire.
"Hey, they're finally here. Pass down my order, don't save your ammunition, let's fight!”
After the order was given, the soldiers of the Feng army, who had been eating and drinking for a few days, opened fire.
They occupied the town of Gusvenv, which was used by the Polar Bear Army to store weapons and ammunition. They did not have to worry about guns and ammunition. The soldiers of the Feng Army tacitly chose to move the M1910 heavy machine guns into the fortifications. They formed a team of two and filled all the firing ports with the M1910 heavy machine guns.
The M1910 was a replica of Maxim. The water-cooled version was changed to the air-cooled version. The ammunition used was a 7.62× 54mm M1908R bullet with a bottom edge. The initial velocity was 860 meters per second, and the range of the gauge was 2200 meters. It was fed by 250 rounds of ammunition. The theoretical firing rate was 500 to 600 rounds per minute. The body length was 1110 mm, the barrel length was 721 mm, the body weight was 23.8 kg, and the gun weight was 45.2 kg. The overall performance was not bad.
Da-da-da ~ Da-da-da ~
Two thousand M1910 heavy machine guns were deployed in the three-kilometer defense line. They were divided into two groups to fire. One group emptied the ammunition chain, and the other group fired again to ensure that the firepower would not be interrupted.
Such insane firepower could shoot an average of 300,000 bullets per minute. The Polar Bear Army was dumbfounded.
Corpses piled up like mountains on the snowy ground in front of the fortifications. Every second, a large number of polar bear soldiers were shot to the ground.
However, no blood flowed out. Because the temperature was too low, the blood was frozen!
Killing intent, this was killing intent!
And using the weapons and ammunition of the polar bear army to kill the polar bear army. Was there anything more disgusting than this in the world?
In less than ten minutes, the 15000 soldiers who had charged forward were all dead.
Zhukov, who was watching from behind, closed his eyes in pain!
"Retreat. I don't want the soldiers to die in vain.”
Makarov nodded slightly.
"How do we report to Moscow?"
" To be honest, Moscow knows better than us how strong the fortifications of Gusvinv Town are. Other than the large-caliber heavy artillery that can break through the walls made of reinforced concrete and boulders that are 1.5 meters thick, the small-caliber artillery can only leave a crater at most. What else can we do?”
Makarov knew Zhukov was right, but if they couldn't take back the town of Gusvenve, it meant that the polar bears would completely lose the war.
" But the town of Gusvenve is very important…"
"The Battle of Irkutsk is over, and we, the Polar Bears, have lost. Even if we recapture Gusvinv Town, we won't be able to change the situation!”
Zhukov said gloomily.
"This war should not have been fought! Because we are not ready for war.”
