C1496 Untoppled flag

Why did he choose to fight in the night? Why had it been followed by a full day of strategic bombing? Why did Xiang Shaolong care so much that he did not even leave a reserve team, and placed a bet on all four Regiments with over 40,000 people?

With so many reasons, the military fans of the future generations were puzzled. However, it was undeniable that this Green Forest style decisive battle was not in line with the military training code, but it made everyone's blood boil.

This night battle was highly respected by the people of the future generations. There were countless of Xiang Shaolong and volunteers, and the Haishenwai's decisive battle was played out by countless of movies and TV shows. It was as famous as the night where Xiao Letian liberated the Ryukyu.

Many years later, when Hidden Fog Kid was very old, her memoirs described this battle in detail. Xiang Shaolong's plans in the bottom of her heart.

Why did he choose to fight in the night? Why choose a continuous strategic bombing? This was because Xiang Shaolong understood these Far Eastern Russian s better than anyone else.

In the minds of the Qing people at that time, it seemed as if the Russian in Sha Russia were a group of wild beasts that only knew how to eat children, a group of thugs who only knew how to attack and fight to the death.

However, during the long winter campaign, Xiang Shaolong discovered that the enemy he was facing was definitely not some brainless idiot. On the contrary, the cunning feeling in the hearts of these polar bears was no less than that of a fox's.

As the sentries were cleared, these trapped beasts displayed their excellent defensive abilities. They were not reckless barbarians who only knew how to charge from Wu La [1]. If this group of people decided to fight with their defenses, then it would be worth it.

Multi - depth fortification, triangular projecting part, left and right firepower can support each other. A small number of Gatling heavy machine gun would always be of use at the most crucial moment, and the cool-headed archers were all veterans with white beards.

The firing speed and accuracy of all the Russian soldiers were not something that could be compared to a winter's worth of training. When the enemy raised his bayonet and launched a melee charge, his tall stature and overwhelming advantage was unquestionable.

Although the Dragon Lord was not willing to admit it, but he had to admit that these veterans who had killed dozens of soldiers, in terms of physical fitness, combat discipline, shooting accuracy, explosiveness, and endurance, were all far above the average soldier.

In some aspects, it was even twice as high!

However, there were only two advantages to being a brave soldier. The first was to fight in one's own country. Everyone was fighting for their own home, so their morale was high and their supplies were plentiful.

The second was that there were more people, forty thousand against ten thousand. Even with a sea of people, it would still be enough to drag down the enemy.

After a day of shelling, the Dragon Lord had wasted almost 5 million silver coins from Xiao Letian's cannonballs, and the money was not spent in vain. He had simply used the silver mountain to pierce through the defenses of the Haishenwai, and with that, he had provided countless openings for the infantry soldiers that were charging in.

The reason why they chose night battles was to avoid the enemy forming a dense fire web. Previously, Dragon Lord had seen the casualties caused by Gatling s equipped with walking spears.

The biggest advantage of the night battles was that both sides had limited vision, so the enemy couldn't form a dense fire net in front of them. People who charged could always find a gap to break through.

"We have to break through the enemy's defense line quickly and drag this war to the point of chaos and hand-to-hand combat. Only then can we bring out the advantage in numbers …"

"Although this kind of tactic is cruel, it is actually the best way to reduce casualties!"

The facts proved that Xiang Shaolong's judgement, when the waves of people rushed up, he could see the advantages and disadvantages of having more people.

If one was tens of thousands of limitless, what's more, in order to reduce the density of being shot, they had to take the initiative to increase the density. First Division's entire army started to move upwards, from a high vantage point, they could not see the end of it.

The men could see the battalions' flags fluttering in the wind, and the soldiers shouted hysterically and followed the banners upwards.

"Kill …" Kill Russian... "Founding a country …" Ding Si felt like his throat was going to split. As a Company Commander, he held the banner in his hands tightly, and it felt as if he was being pressed down by a mountain.

Behind him, more than a hundred brothers followed him and charged up. Opposite them was the broken wall of the Haishenwai.

Ding Si suddenly felt that he was very, very thirsty, flames seemed to be coming out of his throat. He knew that he had eaten too much dinner, a steamed bun with a weight on it was stuffed into his stomach, he did not even dare to drink a mouthful of water, he was afraid that he would die from the swelling.

However, it was still alright for humans to not have enough food. If they ran out of water, it would be unbearable. Halfway through the charge, he felt as if his throat was glued together. He felt dry and itchy, and wanted to vomit.

"Kill …" Cough cough cough … "Kill them all!" Ding Si's voice was already hoarse, after shouting twice he began to cough intensely.

"Company Commander, what happened to you? "Why can't you breathe …" A short soldier beside him saw that Company Commander was coughing so much that his face turned red, and quickly snatched the company flags away from him.

"Take a rest first, I'll help you carry it for a while …"

"Don't... "Cough, cough, cough …" Ding Si was so shocked that he wanted to snatch it back, but it was already too late, just at that moment, the dense number of orders and roars of the Russia officers came from the other side of the city stronghold, followed by rows after rows of rifles extending out.

Pah pah pah … In the pitch-black night, the fireballs shot out at the same time, drawing a long line of fire in the night sky. From afar, it looked like a flaming whip was fiercely lashing at the attacking crowd.

"Don't …" Ding Si wanted to shout, but his throat was glued together. Bullets shot out violently beside him, and the brother who was just eating in a soup pot was smashed into a string of candied fruits.

The bullet passed through his chest and brought out a handful of blood rain. The charging brother trembled three times before falling to the ground and falling into a pool of blood, the brother who had just received the flag was even more miserable, the company flag was the target of Russian soldier's care, the little soldier was hit between his eyebrows, and half of his head had been hit by the bullet, causing the top half of his head to be blown away.

The little guy's white brain spurted all over Ding Si's face. He watched helplessly as the little guy slowly kneeled on the ground and laid the Company Flag against his shoulder, forming a triangle with the corpse.

The corpse was still kneeling on the ground, and the flag had yet to fall.

At this moment, Ding Si's eyes were completely red. The hole on the back of his comrade's head was dripping with a white red liquid. His face was covered with brain juice, and one of the drops flew into his mouth.

Ugh … A wave of intense disgust filled his heart, Ding Si immediately spat out all the food he had eaten, and the steamed buns became fertilizer on the ground.

This time, he finally woke up. This was war, did he think that he had personally experienced the war in the Great Qingdao's gold mine, and was now a veteran? In fact, in the face of a real brutal war, his little bit of insight was just a fart.

"Brother, have a safe trip …" "I'll avenge you …" Ding Si snatched the company flag from the corpse's hands, waving it around desperately in the night sky. Aggregate... "Accelerate your charge …"

"Don't think of anything, don't look at anything … "Follow me and charge!"
