Volume 10, Battle for Domination Volume 20, Scorched Earth

.

After a day of fierce fighting, China's 16th Ace Division blocked hundreds of thousands of Russian attacks. More than 20,000 people were scattered on the defense line of more than 30 kilometers. There were more than 2,500 battles in front and back, effectively blocking the Russian army. After a day of fierce fighting, the 16th Division reduced more than 13,000 troops, and all the division commanders and deputy division commanders were all sacrificed. But in this way, the Russians still could not cross the line. By dawn, Temusinger had to order a retreat. At this time, the number of casualties of the Russian army reached more than 70,000, most of which were caused by the 16th Division.

On this day, the Chinese army spent the tense march and fierce shelling. The Western General Staff kept sending the battle to the command center. Han Xinghua did not close his eyes for a day. Through the situation analysis, he determined that the long-awaited general battle would be held at dawn tomorrow. He was full of spring breeze and smiled proudly all the time. He compared the forces of both sides and was full of confidence in victory. He predicted that tomorrow's battle in Ufa would be the last battle, and once victory would force the Russian emperor to surrender.

On October 27, just dawn, the Chinese army +:|Trail, the Russian army abandoned Ufa, and Han Xinghua's disappointment was simply indescribable. The Chinese army could not find a person, and even a local farmer could not find it. After dawn, the Chinese army had to send people to search for the enemy's traces from all directions, just like hunters.

However, it is impossible to know which route the enemy retreated from, because there are a large number of traces of cars and horses passing by on each road. The Chinese army is like a sea ship that has lost its compass in the vast sea, with no goal. However, the Russian army is not able to slip away so easily. Within a week after that, the Chinese army and the Russian army kept fighting. The Russians wanted to escape, while the Chinese army wanted to leave, but neither side could do it, and the war was in a stalemate.

At this time, the situation of the Chinese army was very bad. The soldiers were exhausted by the cold weather and the arduous march, and the personnel were frostbitten, and they would die if they were not available in time. The various military supplies accumulated by huge expenses over the past five years were proved to be completely unsuitable for the cold Russia. In addition, due to theft and loss, they also lost a lot. The food supply was severely insufficient and everyone was hungry.

General Tian Dahu, Chief of Staff, once plucked up his courage to give Han Xinghua an opinion: "Big Thumbs up, you should understand the truth of the facts. Our journey is too long, and the troops are extremely tired. During the battle, when the officers ordered a charge, you will find that the bravest young men in normal times are also behind. Because they can't run at all."

Han Xinghua turned a deaf ear to these opinions. In his opinion, these are sacrifices that must be paid to achieve his goals. He was determined to achieve his goals at all costs, materials, and Russian prisoners, such results can be achieved. The Russians are also very difficult, and from a certain perspective, it is even more difficult than the Chinese.

The reality is the same. Temusingh led the Russian army from different roads to Izhevsk. The Chinese army ultimately failed to give the Russian army a decisive attack before the Russian army left. On November 4, the Russian army rested in Izhevsk. At this time, the Russian army had already shown signs of lack of supplies, and the consequences of the bombing were showing little by little. Each Russian soldier could only get 250 grams of black bread, and there was no hot soup. The severe cold was also ruthlessly attacking the Russians.

On November 12, Han Xinghua left Ufa, hoping to fight in Izhevsk. He left only a very weak garrison and some wounded and sick in Ufa. On November 1, Han Xinghua's army approached Izhevsk. On this day, both sides launched fierce shelling. The Chinese army struggled to seize and defend the frontier positions and try to get close to the enemy city as close as possible.

In the early morning of the 16th, Han Xinghua ordered a total bombardment and attack on Izhevsk. The battle continued until 6 pm. The battle was extremely fierce. The Russian army guarding the city was very brave and tenacious. The Chinese army finally occupied only the suburbs of Izhevsk and failed to occupy the city center. In the evening, Han Xinghua summoned the commanders of the army and ordered them to occupy Izhevsk anyway the next day.

He planned to use this battle to defeat the main Russian army, and then stay in Izhevsk for the winter, rest the troops, and consolidate the rear of Siberia Central Asia. At the same time, he waited for the railway from Central Asia to be built, and attacked St. Petersburg again in the spring of the following year, forcing the Russians to withdraw from the war and accept the verdict written by the emperor.

On November 17, fierce fighting began again. Han Xinghua ordered the Northeast Army's heavy artillery troops to concentrate on attacking a bridge leading to the city's interior. 00 150mm cannons bombed the area for five hours. However, the Russians resisted bravely, and these Russians resisted stubbornly in the rubble. However, none of these could stop Han Xinghua. The marshal with steel nerves saw with satisfaction that the red flags were inserted more and more on the map of Izhevsk.

As night fell, Chinese army artillery fire continued to bombard the city. Suddenly, fires in the city soared into the sky, and explosions followed by explosions shocking the earth. The fire became more and more fierce, and the whole sky was reflected red. It was not until late at night that the fire eased. At dawn, the Chinese scouts came back and reported that after the Russian army evacuated Izhevsk, which was just an empty city.

The Chinese army entered Izhevsk. Part of the city was still burning, and the streets were filled with corpses of people and horses, and the moans and calls of thousands of wounded people were heard. Han Xinghua and his entourage were slowly patrolling the streets of Izhevsk. He frowned and said nothing. This time the enemy slipped away under his nose again, and he was extremely angry.

The Russian army kept retreating and burned everything into ruins. Han Xinghua sent avant-garde army to chase Timusingh who retreated to Kazan. On November 19, during the pursuit, the vant-garde army found that the enemy entered the position at Bilm, and he quickly reported the situation to Han Xinghua. Han Xinghua first thought that this was just a small enemy guard unit, but the endless reports finally made him believe that this was a powerful legion of the Russian army. Han Xinghua suddenly became excited, and he immediately went to the battlefield and ordered: advance, fight the Russian army to fight a decisive battle, and not allow a Russian to escape.
