Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the afternoon of April 17, the fighting in Ulan-Ude had moved from the outskirts of the city to the city.  Fierce street fighting began.  In this era, street fighting is undoubtedly the most difficult. After entering an unfamiliar city, the attacking army has to worry about bullets fired from the surrounding houses and ruins.  Moreover, the defenders can rely on their familiarity with the city to calmly block or move, which makes it more difficult for the attacking side.

    "How is the battle on the front line going?" Army Minister Cai Yun walked into the headquarters and asked.  Since the morning, a fierce artillery battle has been going on. Even if his command post is in the rear, the fierce sound of artillery can be heard.  But now, the fierce gunfire has stopped.  It's just that there will be some shelling from time to time.

    "Sir, the Third Army has already invaded the western district of Ulan-Ude in the morning and is engaging in street fighting with the Russian army. The First Army also invaded the eastern district of Ulan-Ude half an hour ago.  ." the staff officer replied.

    "Send a report to the front line and ask them to fight steadily and not to rush forward. We still have enough time to gradually eliminate the Russian troops in the city!" Cai Yun reminded.  The Battle of Ulan-Ude is only an important part of the Great War in Eastern Siberia. After the Russian army here is eliminated, the main force of the Imperial Army will be devoted to the Great War in Irkutsk.  If there are too many losses here, it will not be conducive to the next stage of the battle.  Therefore, Ulan-Ude must be defeated, and the Russian army in Ulan-Ude must be annihilated, but the Imperial Army must win at the minimum cost.

    "Yes, sir!" The staff officer immediately sorted out Cai Yun's orders and sent them to various front-line units.

    At this time, Ulan-Ude was already caught in the flames of war.  Under the fierce bombardment of artillery fire from the Chinese Army, most of the buildings in Ulan-Ude were in ruins, and there were very few intact buildings.  Moreover, even if these buildings are intact, no one dares to live in them. There is no telling when the Chinese Army's large-scale shelling will begin, and these intact buildings are likely to be hit. If you live in them, then  The basis is that you are looking for death.

    The commander of the Russian army, Grand Duke Nicholas, was currently in the underground headquarters. Although the large-scale artillery battle was over, the sporadic explosions still made him frown.  The air in the underground headquarters was very turbid. Even though he was standing at the exhaust vent, he still felt a little stuffy.  If it weren't for safety, he wouldn't want to stay here for a moment.

    "Your Excellency, Major General Ulyan reports. Now the Chinese have invaded Xicheng District. His two divisions cannot resist the attack of China's elite army. Half of Xicheng District has fallen!"  A major officer reported to Grand Duke Nicholas.

    Grand Duke Nicholas nodded, and then said: "Send a report to Major General Ulyan and ask him to hold on a little longer. Wait until night, and we will send a boat to take them over the Selenga River." In Grand Duke Nicholas'  In the plan, the two regiments deployed in Xicheng District are only used to delay the Chinese Army's Third Group Army, so as to reduce the pressure faced by the main urban area.  Otherwise, if two elite armies of the Chinese Army besieged Ulan-Ude, it would be difficult for the Russian army to resist them.

    "Yes, Your Excellency the Grand Duke!" the major officer replied.

    In the western urban area of ????Ulan-Ude, the main force of the Third Army, the Fourth Division and the Fifty Division, were divided into small units based on squads and platoons, walking through the city.  They gradually cleared the Russian troops in the city and reduced the scope of the Russian troops' activities.  By now, half of the entire Xicheng District has fallen into the hands of the Chinese Army.  According to the current progress, it may be possible to occupy the entire western city of Ulan-Ude before dark.

    "Bang! Bang!" Several crisp gunshots sounded.

    "Squad leader, there are a few old men in the building in front." A tall and thin soldier cleverly hid at the corner of a street and reported to a sergeant squad leader.  They are members of the 3rd Battalion of the 41st Regiment of the 4th Division. There are 12 people in the class, but three of them are new recruits after the battle of Kyaktu.

    "Okay! The machine gunner is responsible for covering. The others follow me, spread out, and get in to eliminate the Russian troops inside!" the squad leader ordered.

    Soon, the machine gunner climbed to a ruins next to the street, set up the machine gun, and pointed it at the three-story building in front.  The remaining soldiers, led by the squad leader, spread out and went towards the building.

    "Bang bang! Boom! Boom!" From time to time, crisp gunshots and explosions were heard. This was the Chinese army and the Russian army, fighting fiercely in the city.  The Russian troops guarding Ulan-Ude desperately wanted to kill the Chinese troops entering the city, and the Chinese troops wanted to clear out the Russian troops inside, eliminate all these Russian troops, and completely occupy Ulan-Ude.  Ude.

    "Bang!" Suddenly, a crisp gunshot sounded, and a bullet hit a person who was moving toward the building in front of him.The soldier fell to the ground immediately, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.  The other Chinese soldiers immediately fell to the ground.

    "Ta-ta-ta!" The machine gunner opened fire immediately!  The dense bullets swept towards the building on the opposite side.  At the same time, the sniper, who was the soldier with the best marksmanship in the class, also began to kill the target.  This was a Russian soldier hiding on the second floor. He poked his head out of the window blocked by sandbags and opened fire on the attacking Chinese soldiers.

    The sniper's rifle has been specially modified with a longer barrel and a scope, which makes it easier for the sniper to find the target, and the hit accuracy has also increased a lot.

    "Bang!" The sniper opened fire, and the first bullet hit the sandbag.  But the second bullet that followed immediately hit the Russian soldier in the head before he had time to dodge.

    "Charge!" the squad leader ordered.  The remaining soldiers immediately rushed towards the small building quickly.  It was only a few dozen meters away in a matter of seconds.

    "Grenade!" shouted the squad leader.

    A soldier kicked the door open and threw a smoking grenade in.

    "Boom!" After the explosion, the room inside was filled with smoke.  The Chinese soldiers had already rushed in and started cleaning up the Russian soldiers inside.

    The Chinese soldiers cleaned up every empty house, layer by layer.  When going upstairs, I first threw grenades to explore the way.  With such cooperation, the Russian soldiers in this three-story building were quickly wiped out.  Their squad paid the price of one soldier's death and eliminated seven Russian soldiers in this three-story building.  After entering the street fighting, the Chinese soldiers were greatly restricted and the casualties they suffered increased. However, in general, the casualties paid by the Chinese troops were still far less than those of the Russian army.  The Russian army's production air force in the city is constantly being suppressed, which makes their transfer more and more difficult. When these Russian troops are driven together, it will be their demise.

    Machine gunners and snipers suppressed the enemy, while other infantrymen used grenades to clear the way for Russian strongholds. This has become a standard street fighting pattern for every infantry squad in the Chinese Army.  Moreover, because it has no attributes to the city, in order to avoid detours, when there is a building blocking the road, I will directly blow a hole with a grenade and then drill through.  This rampant style of play often renders the strongholds and fortifications prepared by the Russian army ineffective.  For example, the Russian army built a barricade on the street, but the Chinese army came out from the side or behind them, and then a machine gun fired a shuttle bullet, and the Russian army's barricade became a decoration.

    The street fighting was very fierce, and the Russian army's will to resist was also very strong. These regular Russian troops were not like the new troops that had just been formed during the Kyaktu period. They and the Chinese ** team launched a fierce fight in the city.  Fight with the Chinese army for control of every house, every street, and even every ruin.  Many times, it takes repeated battles to determine the final ownership.

    For soldiers, street fighting is also the most dangerous.  But the good thing is.  The Chinese Army has already summarized a set of methods specifically used in street fighting, which can effectively ensure speed while ensuring casualties.  However, many soldiers still fell on the way to attack.

    In the evening, most of Xicheng District was occupied by the Chinese Communist Party.  The Russian army was compressed to a very small area.  There are approximately more than 8,000 Russian troops.  The Third Army, which had dispatched two divisions of troops, had surrounded them and was preparing to eat these Russian troops.

    However, after Grand Duke Nicholas found out, he immediately sent ships across the Selenga River in order to rescue the besieged Russian troops.  But the artillery of the Third Army immediately opened fire and blocked the river.  At the same time, they launched a fierce artillery bombardment against the surrounded Russian troops, seeming to want to use artillery shells to wipe out all these Russian troops.

    In the end, Grand Duke Nicholas had no choice but to give up the rescue of these Russian troops and let them destroy themselves.  After resisting for more than an hour, Major General Ulyan of the Russian army led the remaining more than 3,000 Russian troops to surrender.  The entire Xicheng District of Ulan-Ude was occupied by the Chinese Army.

    Compared with the battle in Xicheng District, the battle in Dongcheng District is much more intense.  The First Group Army successively deployed four divisions into the city to fight fiercely. It barely made any progress and had to fight repeatedly with the Russian army.  Especially at the train station, the two sides fought over it several times.  In order to capture this strategic location, the 13th Division of the First Army suffered thousands of casualties.  Of course, the Russian army also lost thousands of corpses here. After finding that they could not take them back, they retreated unwillingly.

    The street fighting was very difficult, but overall, the Chinese team was indeed advancing steadily.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
