Grand Duke Nicholas was well aware of the importance of this battle, not just who could become Tsar. Even, the lives of both of them were at stake.
If he is defeated, let alone whether he can become a tsar. If you don’t get it right, you can’t even save your life. You don’t need to think about it, once Grand Duke Mikhail wins the war, he will definitely not be spared.
In other words, if he had won the war, he would certainly not have left the scourge of Grand Duke Mikhail.
Therefore, for nothing else, even if it is just for his own life, he will definitely not be able to lose in this battle!
Both Grand Duke Agliny, and Admiral Miloraf, despite knowing that the rebels were powerful. Not very willing to put the Guards on risk. However, they also know that this battle is too critical.
If Grand Duke Nikolai had lost the battle, they would not have ended well either.
Therefore, they did not stop Grand Duke Nikolai either.
A large number of soldiers of the Guards entered the battlefield and prepared to go on the offensive.
As the most elite unit of the Russian Imperial Army, the Guards have always been the main force.
The high-level officials of the Tsarist Empire are also very clear that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Tsarist Empire is too rubbish. Even if you have the advantage in strength, it is not so easy to compete with other powers. Therefore, they formed the Guards so that the Russian Empire could have a truly elite army.
The soldiers of the Guards, almost all of whom were veterans and noble children, were more trained and better equipped. At the same time, the treatment in all aspects is better.
This made the soldiers of the Guards more loyal to the tsar. When fighting, it will naturally be more courageous.
In order to defeat Grand Duke Mikhail, Grand Duke Nikolai did not hesitate to throw the Guards into battle. It can be seen how much he cares about this victory.
“Your Excellency, the Guards are in battle!” Lieutenant General Bruchlov said with a serious expression.
Grand Duke Mikhail nodded and put down the binoculars in his hand.
“Order the front-line troops, full firepower, no need to hide fire anymore. Grand Duke Mikhail ordered.
In the face of the more powerful Guards, they must deal with it carefully. It is necessary to do everything possible to avoid mistakes in battle.
“Yes, Your Excellency, Grand Duke!” replied Lieutenant General Bruchlov.
“Also, order the cavalry to be ready. If there are signs of collapse of Grand Duke Nikolai’s army, or a retreat to Mosk. The cavalry immediately attacked and intercepted them. They must not be allowed to flee back to the city of Mosk!” said Grand Duke Mikhail.
Even if this were done, the battle would be more bitter and the losses would be greater. But he didn’t want to fight a tough street battle in Mosk. That would be a real disaster.
“Yes, Your Excellency!” Lieutenant General Brusilov immediately conveyed Grand Duke Mikhail’s order.
“Rush! kill all the rebels!”
“Capture Grand Duke Mikhail alive!”
“Ula! Ula!”
A large number of brave Guards officers, shouting slogans, launched an attack on the rebel lines. They were carrying bayonet-mounted Mosin-Nagant rifles with fanatical faces.
In order to gain the support of the guards, Grand Duke Nicholas declared in the army that Nicholas II was killed by Grand Duke Mikhail. This made the officers and men of the Guards, who had always loved His Majesty the Tsar, naturally hate and hate Grand Duke Mikhail extremely much. Now, the two sides are at war, and they naturally have no reservations.
“Fire!”
Grand Duke Mikhail’s army naturally showed no weakness either.
“Boom! boom! boom!”
The artillery was firing fiercely, and shells rained down on the Guards of the Russian Empire.
After the shell exploded, shrapnel killed a large number of Guards soldiers.
But even so, the soldiers of the Guards, as if blind to the sacrifices of their comrades, continued to charge.
“Knock knock!”
A large number of mortars also began shelling, and this time, Grand Duke Mikhail ordered no longer to retain strength. This made their mortar fire even more intense.
Dense shells, frantically harvesting the lives of the Imperial Guard.
“Tap-da-da!”
Soon, heavy and light machine guns on the positions also began to strafe.
A large number of Maximin heavy machine guns and light machine guns fired wildly, and the dense bullets shrouded the soldiers of the Tsarist Imperial Guard like a violent storm.
“Poof! Poof!”
The bullet easily pierced the fragile human body, and blood flowed on their chests, easily taking the lives of countless people.
A large number of soldiers of the Guards fell to the ground after being shot, and their eyes gradually lost their radiance and became corpses.
In the face of the powerful firepower of the troops under Grand Duke Mikhail, even the most elite guards of the Russian Empire could not break through. Instead, it further increased their casualties.
