Chapter 190 Going All Out (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!)
"Yoxi! The warriors of the empire have performed very well. We have already caused a lot of losses to the Russians. From what it looks like, we may be able to break through the Russian defenses in a few days." General Nogi Noki Putting down the binoculars in his hand, he smiled all over his face.
Although their troops suffered great losses during the attack. However, General Nogi Nozomi didn't seem to care at all. What he cares about is not the process, but the result.
As long as it can break through the Russian defense line, no matter how big the loss is, it is acceptable.
General Ao Baogong, the commander of the Second Army of the Eastern Ocean Army, had a very ugly expression on his face.
In his opinion, General Nogi Xidian is completely mocking him!
The Second Army's attack on the Shahe line of defense has been going on for more than two months, but the "610" has not made any progress. Now, after the third army has invested in the offensive, it has achieved immediate results.
However, General Obao Gong was also very upset. Although the third army's attack worked, how many casualties did they pay! This simply did not take the lives of ordinary soldiers seriously. In other words, treat them as consumables completely. Such tactics should not be used on the battlefield at all, and should not be regarded as classics.
However, General Nogi Noki's tactics are quite popular among middle and low-level officers. This made it difficult for the top management of the Eastern Empire to say anything on this issue, and could only let General Nogi Nozomi continue this tactic.
"The Russians will not let us break through the Shahe line of defense so easily. They will definitely send reinforcements. At that time, "I am afraid it will be very difficult for us to obtain soft breaks." The four generals Aobao reminded.
"Kawamura-kun is also launching a fierce attack. If they can take down the big stone bridge and cut off the supply channel of the Russians, then everything will be much easier." A glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of General Nogi Nozomi.
He is also very clear that once the Russian army reinforces the Shahe line of defense. Then, it will be difficult for them to break through the Shahe line of defense. Therefore, he hoped that the Fifth Army could make a breakthrough.
Once the Fifth Army captures Dashiqiao. Then, the connection between the Russian army and the Shahe defense line will be completely cut off. At that time, it will be much easier for them to break through the Shahe defense line and even wipe out all these Russian troops.
General Obaogong shook his head, he thought everything would definitely not go so smoothly.
The Great Stone Bridge has become the focus of competition between the Russian Army and the Eastern Army.
The Fifth Army of the Eastern Army invested a full five infantry divisions, and more than 140,000 troops launched a fierce attack here. At the same time, three infantry divisions were dispatched to attack Gaizhou to contain part of the Russian army.
The Russian army garrisoned Dashiqiao with five infantry divisions and a heavy artillery brigade, and Gaizhou with 4 infantry divisions, a heavy artillery brigade, and a cavalry brigade.
Judging from the current situation, the strength of the Russian army in the direction of Dashiqiao is still too weak.
However, relying on the advantages of powerful firepower and the built fortifications, they still resisted the attack of the Orientals. However, the pressure to bear is relatively high.
Shen Yang, Headquarters of the Russian Sixth Army.
At present, all the troops put into the battlefield by the Russian army are under the command of the 6th Army Headquarters.
"Your Excellency, Commander, the Shahe defense line is urgently called. They are attacked by a large number of superior forces of the Eastern Army. They are under great pressure and their losses have begun to rise sharply. "We need reinforcements!" Major General Yakov said.
"The Orientals have dispatched all the troops attacking the Lushun Fortress to the Shahe line of defense. Naturally, the pressure on them is great." Admiral Kuropatkin nodded.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we must send reinforcements as soon as possible. Once the Shahe line of defense is breached, the consequences will be disastrous." Major General Yakov reminded.
Admiral Kuropatkin naturally understood this.
However, he now only has 6 infantry divisions and a reserve team of a heavy artillery brigade left in his hands, and his strength is limited! Once the reserve team is dispatched, and the front is attacked by the Japanese, it may be too late to rescue.
"Your Excellency, a telegram from His Majesty the Tsar." A communications officer walked in.
After reading the telegram, Admiral Kuropatkin let out a long breath, and his tightly knit brows finally relaxed.
"The second batch of reinforcements drawn from Europe will arrive at Zero soon... In this case, we have nothing to worry about. Order the 21st Infantry Division, the 22nd Infantry Division and the 23rd Infantry Division, As well as the 10th Heavy Artillery Brigade, immediately reinforce the Shahe defense line. In any case, the Shahe defense line must be held, and the Orientals cannot be broken through!" Admiral Kuropatkin ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency!" Major General Yakov replied.
"In addition, the 31st Infantry Division and the 41st Infantry Division will reinforce the Dashiqiao. It is also very important and cannot be lost." Admiral Kuropatkin ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" Major General Yakov nodded.
In this case, there will be only one infantry division left in the hands of Admiral Kuropatkin as a reserve team.
However, the second batch of reinforcements from Europe, the 15th Infantry Division, the 16th Infantry Division, the 17th Infantry Division, the 18th Infantry Division, the 24th Infantry Division, the 25th Infantry Division, the 32nd Infantry Division, the 42nd Infantry Division Infantry divisions, the 43rd and 72nd Infantry Divisions, will soon arrive in the Far East.
This makes the Russian army still have enough reserves in terms of military strength to deal with the attack of the Orientals.
Even if the Japanese continue to increase their troops, the Tsarist Russian Army can handle it.
For the Russian army, on the land battlefield at present, it only needs to resist the attack of the Orientals. Limit the battlefield to the Koryo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula. In the case of 1.7, the situation on the battlefield will be completely under the control of the Russian army.
The next step is to wait for the navy to defeat the navy of the Eastern Empire and cut off the logistics supply line of the Eastern Empire Army.
The Eastern Empire Army has invested such a large force on the battlefield, and almost all logistical supplies are heavily dependent on local transportation. Even if they want to collect food and grass on the spot, they can't do it.
Under such circumstances, once the logistics supply line is cut off, is it possible for the Orientals to reverse the situation?
No matter how brave these Orientals are and how disregarding life, they can't fight the Russian army hungry, can they?
At that time, it will be much easier for the Russian army to destroy the Eastern Army.
The victory of this war will inevitably belong to the Tsarist Russian Empire. .
