Li Zihao also wanted to talk to the princess, but he decided to wait until next time. The army had already finished lunch and was ready to set off.
This place had convenient transportation. The Russians must have known about this large army. However, the trouble was that Li Zihao was in their hinterland. There were only militia and police forces nearby, so they could not fight against the fully armed army.
On the village road, soldiers with backpacks were chatting everywhere. Some of them were preparing to burn houses. Meanwhile, some soldiers were driving and robbing the villagers of their belongings and food. They even smashed the heads of those stubborn villagers with the butts of their guns. If not for Li Zihao's order not to kill, they would have long opened fire.
Li Zihao saw it, but he didn't do anything because it was his order.
"Big brother, we're almost done packing. We should leave.”Zhang Lin was also a combative person. If he wasn't afraid of affecting his appetite, he would have killed people before eating.
"Yes."
Li Zihao knew that Russia was finished, so his best solution was to expand his territory. Whether it was White Russia or the foreign intervention army, they were unreliable.
However, the most important thing now was to blow up the Soviets 'buttholes and attack the White Russian army. That way, he would not be under so much pressure. Then, he would see what to do next. Should he return to China?
The residents were driven out of the village. They looked at the Chinese soldiers with hatred in their eyes. The fire had already been lit, and even the crops in the fields were not spared. Li Zihao's two-light policy was completely implemented. The army was indeed the most violent organization.
Li Zihao's horse was a beautiful Arabian horse. It was very tall and strong. Such a good horse was often used by the royal family to pull carriages.
Princess Tasia also walked out. Due to the speed of the march, Li Zihao asked," Princess, do you know how to ride a horse?”
"Yes, General." Tasia nodded. Although she was a princess, she was also an archduchess. The Russian royal family also valued martial arts. These princesses and princes definitely had to learn some skills.
Immediately, a cavalryman brought her a horse. Princess Tasha rode on the horse gracefully. It seemed that she was not a novice.
"Let's go." Li Zihao shook the reins and the warhorse immediately moved forward. The Princess and the cavalrymen followed behind him.
The soldiers on both sides of the road began to line up neatly and then began to walk in a marching column formation.
The raging fire destroyed the small village, leaving only hundreds of helpless villagers and corpses hanging from the village entrance.
The princess also saw the corpses hanging on the side of the road. In the past few months, she had seen too many such things. Even if they killed each other, the Russians did not live up to their title as a fighting nation. They killed their compatriots and their own people without mercy.
Tens of kilometers away, on the battlefield filled with smoke, the momentum of a large number of cavalry charging was too spectacular. They drove the Soviet infantrymen who had no geographical advantage and waved their sharp sabers. When the horses and horses crossed each other, they often left behind headless corpses.
When Maxim opened fire, the arrogant cavalrymen immediately became drenched. Countless warhorses and cavalrymen were hit, just like a wave of wheat in the wind.
The glory of the cavalry was ended by the machine gun. At the same time, the large-scale human wave charge was also ended. The Maxim heavy machine gun was the king of killing in this era. Every country had a lot of it.
The tactics of this era were very simple. They were machine guns, cannons, trenches, and barbed wire. This made a war that could be decided in a few days become very long. The terrifying thing was that such a war would also consume a large amount of national strength.
The Russian troops did not attack the Soviets in an orderly manner. It seemed that the commander was still a smart person.
There was no doubt about the power of Maxim's heavy machine gun. A single shot could kill someone.
The battlefield of World War I was not as three-dimensional as World War II, but it was no less brutal than World War II.
The Russian soldiers rushed forward one after another, shouting "Ula" as they attacked the Soviet positions. The circular fortifications on the mountainside could maximize the release of the Soviet firepower, leaving the incoming Russian soldiers with nowhere to hide.
The flames of the machine gun position were like the breath of a dragon, constantly devouring lives.
At the same time, the Russian artillery continued to suppress the enemy's trenches. A shell landed in the gap of the trenches, sending the entire platoon of soldiers to meet their maker.
The intersecting heavy machine gun positions were definitely the natural enemies of the infantry. As long as there was enough ammunition, the machine gunners could kill any creature in front of them. The wide field of vision gave the machine gunners a good view, allowing them to clearly see the enemy soldiers charging below. As long as they used their crosshairs to trap the enemy soldiers, they would press the firing button, and the bullets would fly out violently. Just look at the mountain of bullet shells beside them.
The corpses in front of the camp were all their work. Although the infantrymen also contributed, most of the casualties were caused by the machine gunners.
At this time, Li Zihao's troops blocked the retreat of the Soviets. After observing, he found that the combat level of the Russian army was far better than that of the Soviets. This was because the White Russian army was made up of professional soldiers such as officers, cadets, and Cossacks.
Due to the lack of specially educated and trained officers in the Soviets, the Red Army troops under such command and organization were lax, disciplined, and had low combat effectiveness. Otherwise, Li Zihao would not have broken out so easily.
It was still the early stages of the civil war, but the Soviets 'combat effectiveness would increase in the later stages.
"General Chekavov, an army suddenly appeared behind us. It seems to be Chinese.”
"This is impossible."
"It's true. They've cut off our supply lines and retreat routes. If they attack us again, we'll be in danger of being wiped out.”
Originally, the White Russian army had the advantage in the Kuangqu. They were already having a hard time fighting. They did not expect the Chinese to suddenly appear.
Moreover, most of the Chinese army and laborers should have already sided with them. Why was this happening?
The reason why they sided with the Soviets was because the White Russian army was not very friendly to the Chinese. Under such circumstances, the expeditionary forces and laborers of the Northern Army all joined the Soviets.
"Map."
The traffic in the Kuangqu was not very good. There were only two roads that could pass through. One of them was blocked by Li Zihao, and the other was to go downstream to Pinsk. This was the Russian-occupied area. If they went there, it would be a dead end.
"What's going on? Why is this happening?”Chekavov was one of the few generals in the Red Army who was good at fighting and was Frunze's favorite general.
"The military committee is investigating the cause of the incident two days ago. If we want them to send us reinforcements, I'm afraid it's too late.”
The current situation of the Red Seven Division was not good. From the topographic map, they were guarding the entrance of the Kuangqu. They relied on the terrain of the main peaks that were easy to defend and difficult to attack to keep the Russian army out of the mining area. However, under such circumstances, a large number of enemy troops had actually appeared in the mining area that they regarded as a safe place. They were going to die!
