    "Come here, send a telegram to that idiot Yakov and order him to hold on to Sk! Wait for the reinforcements from Orenburg!" Grand Duke Nicholas issued the order with a livid face!  Now that the Trans-Siberian Railway has been cut off by the Chinese, if Orsk is lost again, the situation will be even more dangerous for the Russian army!  Although Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg also have railways that cross the Ural Mountains, Chelyabinsk is also under the attack of the Chinese, and the railway west of Yekaterinburg has been violently bombed by the Chinese air force.

    A railway bridge at the eastern foot of the Ural Mountains was blown up, paralyzing the entire railway. Now the Russian army is counting on only the defenders in Orsk and Chelyabinsk to hold their positions!  In this way, if the war goes wrong, the Russian army can retreat in time.

    "Yes, Marshal!" the communications officer replied quickly!  Everyone knows that Grand Duke Nicholas is in a rage at the moment. If he touches his brow, he will definitely suffer disaster!

    It¡¯s just that Grand Duke Nicholas wants to use the troops stationed in Orenburg and the Urals to break the Chinese army¡¯s blockade of the Trans-Siberian Railway. It¡¯s not easy!  The Chinese army has assembled almost 600,000 troops in Orsk, let alone taking the initiative to attack. Countless previous battles have proven that in the field, the Russian army is no match for the Chinese army!  The powerful armored units of the Chinese Army can easily defeat the Russian army in the field.  However, Archduke Nicholas obviously no longer cares so much.  In a war with a predetermined outcome, any of his efforts seemed to be in vain. The Russian army and the Chinese army were not heavyweight opponents at all!  The Russian army only has a small number of artillery, while the Chinese army not only has artillery, but also aircraft and tanks.  The comparison between the two sides is like an adult armed to the teeth and a baby armed only with a stick!  It can be seen that if the Russian army wants to defeat the Chinese army, there seems to be no other way except God appearing!

    At this time, the fierce battle in Orsk continued. Although Lieutenant General Yakov lost control of the Trans-Siberian Railway, he successfully used Orsk's defenses to resist the Chinese army's attack and gained victory.  A great result!

    The Russians in the Siberian Plain have the habit of digging cellars. Almost every household has dug a cellar. This undoubtedly helped the Russian army a lot. After simple modifications, these cellars can become strong anti-cannon holes.  When the Chinese army carried out violent shelling and bombing, the Russian army went into these cellars and hid. After the Chinese army's shelling and bombing ended, they came out and fought fiercely with the Chinese army that entered the city!  In addition, if they encounter danger, they can also hide in the cellar and then emerge from behind the Chinese army. This elusive style of play has caused great losses to the Chinese army, even if Orsk seems to be blown to pieces.  It was in ruins, but the real casualties caused to the Russian army were not large!

    A platoon of Chinese troops and a small group of Japanese mercenaries are searching a neighborhood in Orsk, with the Japanese mercenaries in front and the Chinese troops in the back.  The troops followed the houses on both sides of the street to avoid being attacked by the Russians as much as possible!

    A Russian man emerged from the roof of a two-story building. He was lying on the roof, the Moganshina rifle in his hand already loaded.

    "Go to hell! You yellow-skinned monkeys!" the Russian whispered, and then pulled the trigger!

    "Bang!" A crisp gunshot sounded. A Japanese mercenary soldier who was crouching and walking at the front suddenly had a bloody hole in his head. He fell to the ground and lost his life!  The other Japanese mercenaries and Chinese Army officers and soldiers behind immediately lay down on the ground. The machine guns had been set up and fired in the direction of the bullets!  However, the Russian had already run away!

    The urban area of ??Orsk is very large. Two hundred thousand Russian troops are scattered in the urban area, and it does not appear crowded at all.  They used the houses on both sides of the street, as well as fixed firepower points such as the barricades that had been built long ago to block the Chinese army's attack. Under the tenacious blocking of the Russian army, the Chinese army would leave a lot of corpses behind almost without moving forward!

    "Ta-ta-ta!" A heavy machine gun from the Russian army was firing wildly. This firepower point located at the corner of the street blocked the entire block.  There are already more than ten corpses placed at the street entrance. Most of them are Japanese mercenaries, and some are from the Chinese army!

    "Mortar! Destroy the Russian heavy machine gun for me!" a captain and company commander shouted with red eyes!  His company has been blocked here for a while and launched several attacks, but none of them succeeded. Instead, corpses were left on the ground!

    "Boom! Boom!" Two 80mm medium-sized mortars opened fire on the target!  However, the Russian heavy machine gun firepower point was located exactly at the corner of the street, and the shells were fired by both sides of the street.??The building is blocking it, making it difficult to hit the target!  !

    "Damn it! Call for air support, ask the air force to destroy the Russian firepower point!" There was really no other way, and the captain and company commander had no choice but to call for air support!  The lives of Chinese soldiers are precious. If you can fill it without human life, then try not to do so!

    A few minutes later, an FH5 Falcon dive bomber hovering over Orsk launched an attack on the target. Benson roared with a roar that almost pierced people's eardrums, "Falcon, the dive bomber has begun."  Dive, at an altitude of 500 meters from the target, a 500 kilogram heavy aerial bomb was dropped!

    "Whoops!" The aerial bomb exploded less than ten meters away from the Russian firepower point, but the power of the 500-kilogram aerial bomb was simply not something that a firepower point made of reinforced concrete could withstand.  After the aerial bomb exploded, the houses on both sides of the street were destroyed, and the Russian machine gun firepower point had long since disappeared!

    "Haha! Well done, we finally knocked out that firepower point!" The captain and company commander shouted happily!

    "Click, click, click!" Suddenly, a tongue of flame rose from a small building at the end of the street. The FB'Falcon, the dive bomber that was pulling up after the bombing was completed, was hit by the tongue of flame, and billowing thick plumes of smoke came out of the tail of the aircraft.  smoke, and then fell to the ground with a violent explosion.  The pilots on the fighter plane had not had time to escape.

    "You bitch! Come on, kill those Russians!" When the captain and company commander saw that their fighter planes were destroyed, fire was about to burst out of their eyes!

    Hundreds of Chinese soldiers and Japanese mercenaries began a fierce attack on the Russian army!

    The Russian army has prepared fortifications for many years, and finally began to show its strong power step by step. In order to destroy the Russian army in the city, the Chinese army paid a heavy price!  After the battle ended on April 30, the Chinese army only controlled less than one-tenth of the city.  And, this is with the help of aircraft and cannons.  The losses paid were somewhat staggering. In today's attack, the 11th Army lost more than 4,000 people, most of whom were seriously injured or killed.  The Japanese mercenaries suffered even greater losses. The three divisions that cooperated with the Chinese army's attack all suffered heavy casualties. The number of people killed and seriously injured was almost 10,000!  Although there are no accurate figures for the casualties caused by the Chinese army to the Russian army, they must not be too large!

    The failure of the attack left the commander of the 11th Group Army, General Zhou Shun, with a dark face all day long. Although he had expected that this battle would be a hard fight before the attack, he did not expect that the Russians would be so difficult to bite.

    "General, it seems that the Russians have built the entire city into an impregnable fortress, and the Russian troops guarding here are also elite troops, fighting very tenaciously! Although with our strength, we will definitely be able to capture this place in the end, as long as  However, the casualties we will pay may be unbearable for us!" Lieutenant General Changjiang Qiao, Chief of Staff of the 11th Group Army, said with some worry!

    "What about the other group armies?" General Zhou Shun asked.

    "Not very optimistic! Those stupid Russians have almost built these cities into perverted fortresses. It is not difficult to break through the Russian army's outer positions, but once they enter street fighting, it will be more troublesome! The casualties of each unit  Not too small!" Lieutenant General Jiang Qiao said!

    "It seems that the Russians have worked hard to prepare for several years, and it is still very effective! However, if the Russians want to let us give up like this, they are definitely miscalculating! We all had a tougher battle than this back then.  We have fought before, let alone here! Let the armored brigade assist in the attack tomorrow and we must break through the Russian defense!" A murderous intent flashed in General Zhou Shun's eyes!

    "Armored brigade? General, the Russians must have anti-tank guns. If the armored brigade enters the city, it will definitely suffer heavy losses from the Russian anti-tank guns!" Lieutenant General Jiang Qiao said quickly!

    "Now we don't have to worry about so much. Although the Russians have anti-tank guns, they certainly don't have many! At that time, we will ask for the support of the air force. Once the Russian anti-tank firepower points are discovered, destroy them immediately to minimize losses!" Admiral Zhou Shun  Said!  In order to annihilate the Russian army in the city as soon as possible, armored troops can only be used now!  Although the armored troops will be greatly restricted in street fighting, they are much more powerful than the army without any protection!  Moreover, as long as the Russian anti-tank firepower points can be discovered in advance, the tanks can destroy the enemy's anti-tank firepower points first, thereby reducing troop casualties!

    "Yes, general, I'm going to give the order to bring the armored brigade back!" Lieutenant General Jiang Qiao said!

    General Zhou Shun nodded and said nothing more. He knew that the bloody battle had just begun and tomorrow's battle would be even more intense!
