“Yo West! The warriors of the empire have done very well, and we have already inflicted considerable losses on the Russians. Looking at this, maybe in a few days, you will be able to break through the Russian defenses. General Nogi Yoshinori put down the binoculars in his hand and smiled on his face.
Although their troops paid great losses in the attack. However, General Nogi Yoshinori didn’t seem to care at all. He doesn’t care about the process, but the result.
As long as it can break through the Russian defenses, even if it pays a lot of losses, it is acceptable.
On the side, General Obaogong, commander of the Second Army of the Eastern Army, had a very ugly face.
In his opinion, General Nogi Yoshinori was completely mocking him!
The Second Army’s offensive on the Shahe defense line has been going on for more than two months, but there has been no progress on the “670” point. Now, after the Third Army went on the offensive, it had achieved immediate results.
However, General Obao Gong is also very unhappy. Although the attack of the Third Army worked, how many casualties did they pay! This is simply not taking the lives of ordinary soldiers seriously. Or rather, treat them completely as consumables. Such tactics should not be used on the battlefield at all, and should not be regarded as classics.
However, this tactic of General Nogi Yoshinori was quite popular among mid- and low-ranking officers. This made it difficult for the high-level of the Eastern Empire to say anything more on this issue, and could only let Nogi Yoshinori continue this tactic.
“The Russians will not let us break through the Shahe Line so easily. They will definitely send reinforcements. At that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to make a breakthrough. General Obao Gong reminded.
“Kawamura-kun’s side is also launching a fierce attack. If they could take the Great Stone Bridge and cut off the Russians’ supply routes, everything would be much easier. A hint of hope flashed in General Nogi Yoshinori’s eyes.
He also knew very well that once the Russian army reinforced the Shahe defense line. Then, it will be difficult for them to break through the Shahe defense line. Therefore, he hoped that the Fifth Army could make a breakthrough.
Once the Fifth Army captured the Great Stone Bridge. Then, the connection between the Russian army and the Shahe defense line will be completely severed. At that time, it will be much easier for them to break through the Shahe defense line and even annihilate these Russian troops.
General Obao Gong shook his head, he thought that everything would definitely not go so smoothly.
The Great Stone Bridge has become the focus of contention between the Russian army and the Eastern Army.
The Fifth Army of the Eastern Army committed five infantry divisions, and more than 140,000 troops launched a fierce attack here. At the same time, three infantry divisions were also dispatched to attack Gaizhou to contain part of the Russian army.
The Russians garrisoned Dashiqiao with five infantry divisions and one heavy artillery brigade, 4 infantry divisions and one heavy artillery brigade, and one cavalry brigade in Gaizhou.
Judging from the current situation, the strength of the Russian army in the direction of the Great Stone Bridge is still too weak.
However, relying on the superiority of firepower and the fortifications they built, they still resisted the attack of the Orientals. It’s just that the pressure is relatively great.
Shen Yang, headquarters of the 6th Army of the Russian Army.
At present, all the units put into the battlefield by the Russian army are under the command of the headquarters of the 6th Army.
“Your Excellency Commander, the Shahe defense line is in a hurry, they are attacked by a large number of superior forces of the Eastern Army, the pressure is great, and the losses have begun to rise sharply, and we need reinforcements!” Major General Ko said
“The Oriental people will all send the troops who attacked the Lushun Fortress to the Shahe defense line. Their pressure is naturally great. Admiral Kulopatkin nodded.
“Your Excellency Commander, we must send reinforcements as soon as possible. Once the Shahe defense line is breached, the consequences will be unimaginable. Major General Yakov reminded.
Admiral Kulopatkin, naturally, understood this.
It’s just that he now has only 6 infantry divisions and a reserve of heavy artillery brigades left in his hands, and his strength is limited! Once the reserves are all dispatched, and then the front is stormed by the Orientals, I am afraid that it will be too late to rescue.
“Your Excellency Commander, a telegram from His Majesty the Tsar.” A communications officer walked in. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
After reading the telegram, Admiral Kulopatkin let out a long breath, and his tightly furrowed brows finally stretched.
“The second batch of reinforcements from Europe will soon arrive 0. The 21st Infantry Division, the 22nd Infantry Division, and the 23rd Infantry Division, as well as the 10th Heavy Artillery Brigade, were ordered to immediately reinforce the Shahe Line. In any case, it is also necessary to hold the Shahe defense line, and it is impossible to let the Orientals break through! Admiral Kulopatkin ordered.
“Yes, Your Excellency Commander!” Major General Yakov answered.
“In addition, the 31st Infantry Division and the 41st Infantry Division reinforced the Great Stone Bridge. It is also vital there and there is no room for error. Admiral Kulopatkin ordered.
“Yes, Your Excellency Commander!” Major General Yakov nodded.
In this case, Admiral Kulopatkin would have only one infantry division left in his hands as a reserve.
However, the second group of troops reinforced from Europe, namely 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, the 43rd Infantry Division and the 72nd Infantry Division, will soon arrive on the Far Eastern battlefield.
This allows the Russian army to still have enough reserves in terms of strength to cope with the attack of the Orientals.
Even if the Oriental people continue to increase their troops, the Russian army can cope with it.
For the Russian army, at present, on the land battlefield, it is only necessary to resist the attack of the Orientals. Limit the battlefield to the Goryeo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula. In this 5.2 case, the situation on the battlefield will be completely under the control of the Russian army.
Next, it is time to wait for the navy to defeat the navy of the Eastern Empire and cut off the logistics supply line of the Eastern Imperial Army.
The Eastern Imperial Army invested such a large number of troops on the battlefield that almost all logistical supplies relied heavily on native transportation. Even if they wanted to collect food and grass on the spot, they couldn’t do it.
Under such circumstances, once the logistics supply lines are cut off, is it still possible for the Oriental to reverse the situation?
No matter how brave these Orientals are, no matter how indifferent they are to life, they can’t fight the Russian army hungry, right?
At that time, it will naturally be much easier for the Russian army to destroy the Eastern Army.
The victory of this war will inevitably belong to the Russian Empire.
