Chapter 133 The melee in the blizzard

The howling Siberian cold wind swept across the Chinese and Russian soldiers fighting on the Omsk battlefield with blade-like snowflakes. The blizzard reduced the distance of vision one step closer. By the evening, both sides were unable to fight. The Northeast Army was relatively better, because after the Northeast Army entered winter, it had been conducting snowfield combat subjects, and everything was systematically prepared from individual soldiers carrying equipment to cold-proof drills.

The engineer shovels equipped by Northeast Army soldiers can be folded into engineer picks to dig out ice and snow, and can set up simple bunkers. In addition, the Northeast Army soldiers all have white cloaks with roe skin inside. They are covered with roe skins. They can not only prevent cold when they are spread on the snow, but also a few cloaks can be connected to a small tent through buttons. Soldiers can effectively block the invasion of the cold wind. Such weather has no effect on combat effectiveness. On the contrary, the Red and Russian soldiers chased them all the way from Europe and had no idea about such extreme weather. When night fell and the war stopped, the combat capabilities of the soldiers on both sides began to be widened by individual soldiers carrying equipment.

On the one hand, the Northeast Army soldiers not only have tents that prevent cold, but also have enough butter compressed biscuits. Each soldier even has a small box of alcohol paste on his body. When shading, the Northeast Army soldiers can not only have enough food to replenish calories, but also drink hot water. But Russian soldiers don’t have hot water, and they eat just a bag of reincarnation beans that have been frozen into ice lumps. There is no cold-proof equipment like tents. Red and Russian soldiers only have strong will to fight against the severe cold and wind and snow.

However, in such extreme weather conditions, the will is unsatisfactory and has no effect. A large number of Red Army soldiers were frozen, frostbite, and even frostbite to death. By the second half of the night, the Red and Russian soldiers were completely desperate. Under the leadership of the lower-level commander, they launched repeated death charges against the Northeast Army.

The 6th Division of the Northeast Army, the 601st Regiment, and the first battalion guarded a slightly lower terrain. It was very lucky to find such a terrain on the plain. Battalion Commander Liu Zhaoming and Deputy Battalion Commander Bai Chongxi calmly commanded the soldiers to rush to repair simple fortifications. They no longer knew how many waves of attacks from Red and Russian soldiers were repelled. This attack by the Red and Russian army was very terrible. They did not carry out any organized command and charged wildly. It seemed that dying under the enemy's bullets was much more comfortable than slowly freezing to death in this blizzard.

In the battlefield where the visibility is so low that the enemy only discovers it, it is difficult to judge how many enemies come to the competition. There are many enemies coming from that direction. They can only rely on firepower to suppress it. Bai Chongxi said to Liu Zhaoming: "Battery Commander, this is not enough to continue to fight like this. The casualties are getting bigger and bigger and bigger, you have to think about this!"

Liu Zhaoming frowned and replied in his Sichuan accent with a Northeast flavor, "Yes, it is not good for us to continue to fight passively like this. Our soldiers will become more and more tired, but the conventional weapons we carry are difficult to play. The only ones that can be used now are various guns and grenades. Mortars and bullet throwings of heavy weapons are not dared to fire randomly. We seem to be able to think of ways from a tactical perspective."

Bai Chongxi thought for a long time and said slowly: "Battery Commander, we have been breaking outward, and the Russian army does the same. If this continues, our troops will be dispersed more and more, and their combat effectiveness will become weaker and weaker. Once the reinforcements of the Red Russian army arrive at the battlefield first, our army will lose the initiative on the battlefield.

Why don’t we go the other way? We move closer to the 27th Division, the innermost part of the battlefield, so that we can avoid the crazy attack of the Russian army, join together some brothers, and strengthen our combat strength. We don’t even need to attack passively like we are now. I think the madness of the Russians will not last long. Before dawn is the coldest time of the day. There is no need for us to fight the Russian army at this time now!"

"Okay, aren't we here just to open the siege of the 27th Division? Jiansheng will do what you said. We will immediately notify the chief officers of each company and the gathered troops to pack up their equipment and prepare to move towards the 27th Division."

"Okay, Bo Cheng, I also recommend that the entire battalion of shotguns and grenades be concentrated in the first company, and the first company is used as the pioneer of our battalion, and the machine gunners are behind to cover the retreat of the troops."

"Yes, we can't be too passive. Mortars and bullet throwing can also be used. Try to open up a safe range of 50 to 100 meters for the route forward!"

At the same time, the front line of the Northeast Army in Omsk was also holding an emergency military meeting. Xu Yin sat firmly and had no sign of anxiety when he was in a cold expression, but if those who knew him would notice that his left hand was not placed on the table. Under the table, his left hand was ravaging his trouser legs fiercely. This was the manifestation of his nervousness and anxiety.

As the deputy chief of staff of the Northeast Army, Sun Liechen could no longer hold his breath. He sucked his cigarette in his hand and his collar was already pulling to his chest. "Xu Yin, you are the commander-in-chief. What do you think of? We can't sit and wait for death. The Red Russia has been frozen to death. I can't think of a solution. The casualties of our soldiers will become increasingly serious! You are the commander-in-chief's beloved general, and you don't know how much he cherishes the lives of soldiers."

Xu Yin asked the staff beside him expressionlessly, "What do the meteorological experts in Belarus say?"

"The commander-in-chief, the meteorological experts in Belarus are of no use at all. They have no accurate judgment on such extreme weather. They say that the intensity of the cold current this year is so high that it is the lowest point since the collection of weather observation data in Siberia, so they have no way to determine how long this weather will last.

Some local herders have a statement, saying that if the blizzard is gone before 9:00 tomorrow morning, it will likely continue for a day. They also said that the snow will stop and the sky will not be clear. If the snow is completely clear, the temperature may drop further after the sky turns blue!"

"Hiss--it's still falling!" As soon as the major staff officers and staff members finished speaking, the officers and staff members in the front finger took a breath of air conditioning. If the temperature was falling, even the Northeast Army, which had cold-proof equipment and armed teeth, would definitely not be able to stand it. Now the scale of ordinary thermometers is no longer available. Only professional meteorological thermometers can still be used, but it is almost the end. The outdoor temperature just measured was fifty-seven degrees, and it was over the 60 degrees mark when the drop was reduced. It was so cold that it was so cold that it was so thrust in the lungs.

Seeing that the staff members in front of him were a little depressed by this weather, Xu Yin said coldly: "We are hard, Red Russia is harder than us. How did the Japanese gold-grabbing troops die? Have you forgotten?"

These Northeast Army staff members have seen the tragic appearance of the Japanese being attacked by the cold current. With nearly 20,000 troops, a cold current came. There were only more than 500 Japanese soldiers who fled to Omsk alive, and even their horses were frozen to death. The more than 500 people who came back alive had only half their lives left. Among them, more than 100 people were amputated due to frostbite, and their ears, noses, fingers, and toes were frozen.

According to the General Staff’s description of those Japanese wounded soldiers, many Japanese did not froze to death directly, but shot themselves because they could not bear the cold. When the cold wave came, all the burned fire was burned and it didn’t work at all. It seemed that the desperate attacks of Red and Russian soldiers are likely to be the reason. If we judged based on the situation of the Japanese at that time, Red and Russian might have been defeated until tomorrow morning.

Thank you to Xishen Mo Yue and book friends for the rewards, and thank you for your collection and recommendation of this book! Five parties are asking you for collection and recommendation!

When I first wrote about the war scene, I always felt a little overwhelmed, which made me feel a little Kawen. I don’t know if it was right. I checked the weather conditions at that time. The lowest temperature in Omsk reached 67 degrees. If I were fighting in such a weather situation, the cold was really the most important enemy of both sides. The Wufang family was in the northeast. When it was the coldest in 2000, it was very pleasant. I don’t know what it felt like. Wufang also asked a friend who had done business in Mohe. When it was the coldest there, the temperature dropped to about 50 degrees. He said he didn’t feel very cold, and he still ate popsicles outside. The lump was not afraid of the cold but the white-haired wind. It was so cool that he couldn’t go to the house! Just now, Wufang looked at 360, and now the outdoor temperature of our lump was minus 34 degrees. Laqi Laba frozen to death!
