    "Damn, what the hell is going on? Two lines of defense were lost in a long time. Those guys should be arrested and shot!" After receiving the relevant news, Marshal Gurko was so angry that he cursed.  Although he is seventy-one years old, he is still very angry.  After receiving the defeat, he was immediately furious.  Although he knew that the Russian army was no match for the Chinese Army, he did not expect that it would be so vulnerable.

    "Marshal, now is not the time to be angry! The Chinese have broken through the first two lines of defense and are now attacking the third line of defense. Their attack is very violent. The frontline commander, General Matvey, telegraphed:  Without reinforcements, he may not be able to hold out until sunset!" Colonel Levslovic said.

    "Hell! Let all the troops in the rear rush to the front line to reinforce General Matvey. Tell him that he must resist the Chinese attack for at least three days. Otherwise, I will personally send him to a military court.  , or send him to the gallows directly!" Marshal Gurko said angrily.

    "Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" Colonel Levslovic felt Marshal Gurko's anger and the murderous intent in his words.  Obviously, if Admiral Matvey was unable to complete the mission, he might actually do that.

    The battle on the front line is still very fierce.  After taking down the second line of defense, although the Chinese ** team suspended the attack, the soldiers began to have lunch to replenish their strength.  The wounded were also sent to the rear for treatment.  Those prisoners of the Russian army.  They were all sent to prisoner of war camps in the rear for custody.  but.  The artillery continued to fire.  After the infantry captured the second line of defense, the artillery also advanced two kilometers as a whole, and then launched an attack on the Russian army's third and final line of defense.

    Violent artillery fire ravaged the Russian position, and soldiers were constantly killed, and their limbs and arms flew directly into the sky.  Under such circumstances, the Russian army had to persevere.  The power of the God of War was fully displayed at this moment.

    After receiving the order from Marshal Gurko, the Russian frontline commander General Matvey's face suddenly turned livid.  The first two lines of defense were broken through in half a day. Although hundreds of thousands of Russian troops were concentrated on the last line of defense, these already frightened Russian troops alone could not resist the Chinese attack.  Team, that's simply impossible.

    ¡°However, Admiral Matvey knew that Marshal Gurko¡¯s order could not be disobeyed.  If he dares to disobey, I'm afraid no one can save him.  There is not even a need for a court martial.  He will be sent directly to the gallows.  There was no way, General Matvey had no choice but to bite the bullet and order the troops on the front line to try their best to resist the attack of the Chinese army no matter what, and try their best to hold on for three days.

    However, no matter how you look at it, this is an impossible task.  At 1 o'clock in the afternoon on August 18, the Chinese ** team, which had eaten dry food and replenished their physical strength, began to attack the Russian army's third line of defense.  In the previous shelling, the Russian army's third line of defense was almost destroyed by the fierce shelling of the Chinese ** team, and all kinds of defenses were blown to pieces.  The casualties were also heavy.  Although Marshal Gurko ordered hundreds of thousands of troops in the rear to reinforce the third line of defense, those guys were slow to act.  Admiral Matvey really thought that maybe those guys would not come until the defense line was breached.  But, will it still be useful at that time?

    "Bang! Bang! Bang! Ta da da!" On the battlefield, the crisp sound of rifles, like fried beans, and the deep sound of heavy machine guns were mixed together. Soldiers on both sides of the offense and defense were constantly being hit.  , and then lost their lives. Almost every moment, soldiers were killed.  On the battlefield, life seems so fragile.

    "The first and second squads charge, and the third squad covers. Heavy machine guns and mortars, suppress the enemy's firepower!" A second lieutenant from the Chinese ** team was lying in line, lying less than 300 meters away from the Russian army's third line of defense.  place, ordered.  His platoon, fifty men in total, lost six men while attacking the first two lines of defense.  When attacking the Russian army's third line of defense, five people had been lost, but now they were suppressed three hundred meters away from the Russian army's position, unable to break through.

    After all the remnants of the Russian first and second lines of defense retreated to the third line of defense, the intensity of the defense on this line of defense increased a lot, which made it much more difficult for the Chinese army to attack.  The artillery bombardment has continued to extend backwards, and the focus of the attack has become those Russian troops reinforcing the front line.  Therefore, the Russian army on the third line of defense faces much less pressure.

    "Click, click, click!" The heavy machine gun immediately began to design, firing rows of bullets at the Russian army's position in an attempt to suppress the Russian army's firepower.  But the Russian army also noticed this and fired fiercely at the heavy machine guns that were firing.  ?The concentrated bullets hit the shields on both sides of the heavy machine gun, making a crisp clanking sound.

    "Poof!" A bullet hit the heavy machine gunner's chest, blood spurted out, and the heavy machine gunner fell softly.  The deputy shooter immediately removed the heavy machine gunner's body and replaced him. The heavy machine gun continued to pour firepower on the Russian position.

    "Boom!" Mortars were also set up, and they blasted the Russian position with a heavy blast.  The shell exploded in the Russian trench, and shrapnel swept across the trench, killing all the Russian soldiers inside.

    The soldiers of the two squads took the opportunity to charge the Russian position. They reached the distance of 300 meters in more than a minute.

    "Grenade!" With a loud roar, more than a dozen grenades flew into the Russian trenches, once again causing heavy losses to the Russian army.  At this time, Chinese soldiers also broke into the trenches and began to fight with the Russian soldiers.

    "Bang bang bang!" A sergeant squad leader pulled out the pistol on his waist and shot several Russian soldiers to death. Then he led his brothers and began to clear the Russian troops in the trenches.  In the trenches, the role of pistols is very obvious, much more effective than rifles.  In addition, the Ordnance Research Institute is also researching new pistols and weapons specifically used to attack trenches.  Such as shotguns and flamethrowers, etc.  By then, the Chinese ** team's ability to attack enemy trenches will be greatly enhanced.

    Although, the Russian army's defense was very tenacious, causing the attacking Chinese troops to suffer a lot of casualties.  But after persisting for several hours, the Russian army's third line of defense was still breached in many places.  This directly led to the collapse of the Russian defense line.  Although General Matvey made great efforts and devoted all his reserves to the battle for positions, he still could not reverse the situation.

    By six o'clock in the afternoon, the Russian army had to retreat from the defense line. The defense line was defended by 300,000 people, but in the end, less than 100,000 people retreated.  The number of Russian troops killed and captured by the Chinese army reached 200,000.  When the Russian army retreated, it once again had to pass through the barrage formed by Chinese artillery shelling. During this period, the Russian army suffered heavy losses.  Even when General Matvey retreated, reinforcements had not yet arrived.

    After taking over the Russian defense line, the Chinese ** Corps did not continue to attack. In today's battle, the Chinese ** Corps suffered heavy losses, paying tens of thousands of casualties.  The number of soldiers killed and seriously injured reached more than 5,000.  In addition, after a day of high-intensity fighting, the soldiers were very tired, both physically and mentally, and were unable to continue fighting.  Especially the artillery. During this day, the artillery was shelling the Russian defense line. After the battle was over, many artillerymen could not even raise their hands.

    The fall of the Russian frontline defense line exposed Malyanovka directly in front of the Chinese army.  Marshal Gurko immediately ordered all the troops to return to Malyanovka, preparing to resist the attack of the Chinese army here.  Although the losses of the Russian army were very heavy, the remaining troops, with nearly half a million people, were still a very powerful fighting force.  If you grasp it well, you should be able to withstand the attack of the Chinese team.  Of course, Marshal Gurko wants to delay the peace talks between China and Russia. In this case, he will be done.

    The army in the hands of Marshal Gurko is already the last force that the Russian army can mobilize.  If these armies are annihilated again, the Russian army will no longer be able to resist the attack of the Chinese army.  Therefore, for the sake of Russia, Marshal Gurko must be like a nail, nailed firmly to Malyanovka and block the Chinese troops in Siberia.

    "It's just that the wish is very full, but the reality is very rough.

    On the evening of August 18, Marshal Gurko received a telegram and turned pale on the spot.

    "Your Excellency, Marshal, Boyevoi fell. One hundred thousand Chinese cavalry suddenly appeared in Boyevoi and launched a fierce attack there. We only had more than 20,000 people in Boyevoi and could not resist at all.  Can't stand the Chinese attack!" Colonel Levslovic said with a horrified look.  The Chinese cavalry raided hundreds of kilometers in one day and directly captured Boyevoy, which cut off the Russian army's retreat.  More importantly, Boyevoy is an important material reserve base for the Russian army. Half of the strategic materials in the entire Siberian battlefield are stored there.  The fall of Boyevoy suddenly made the situation of the Russian army in Malyanovka very bad.  Not only is the escape route cut off, but supplies also won't last long.

    "How long can we last with the supplies we have now?" Marshal Gurko asked with a pale face.

    "Your Excellency, Marshal, the supplies we have stored in Malyanovka are only enough for us to last for half a month!" Colonel Levslovic replied.
