These fortifications make full use of the nearby hilly landforms, and the firepower distribution is very complete and reasonable.The front of the position stretches extremely far, and the depth is more than eight kilometers, making it very difficult to penetrate.Kornilov had never participated in battles in the Western Continent, but had only heard of the cruelty and bloodiness of trench warfare in the Western Continent.However, he absolutely believed that the advanced level of this line of defense was not lower than any line of defense in the Western Continent.

Facing such a line of defense, unless it is bombarded repeatedly with intensive artillery fire, it will never have a great effect.But now there is a shortage of weapons in the Raksha country, and a large number of artillery that cannot be transported away have been seized in Yekaterinburg. In addition, the main attack direction is on the Yekaterinburg side, so it is difficult for him to obtain enough weapons and supplies.With an army of 20 people like him, there are only more than 300 artillery pieces together.These artillery pieces seemed to be quite a lot, but excluding small infantry artillery pieces with too short firing ranges, there were probably less than fifty of them that could actually fire outside the range of the enemy's firepower.

Faced with such a situation, Kornilov's only choice is to rely on the numerical advantage.The Rakshasa army quickly organized ten offensive teams, each team consisted of two regiments, and they would attack the West Army's position in turn in skirmish lines.The artillery of the Raksha Army also sounded at the right time, bombarding the frontline positions of the West Army, hoping to find a breakthrough for their own army.

"The Raksha people have a lot of artillery. It seems that they are going to do their best." A battalion commander was lying in the ice and snow trench, enduring the shelling of the Raksha people.This time, the people of Rakshasa were the best. They not only mobilized more than half of the country's garrison troops, but also mobilized a large number of artillery.For example, the 1914-style 150mm howitzer and the 1910-style 152mm howitzer that were usually only equipped for elite troops were taken out, and [-] guns were equipped for each group army.

These artillery are extremely powerful, with a range of more than seven kilometers, which is not comparable to the 105mm howitzer belonging to the West Army Division.Under the bombardment of the Raksha people regardless of consumption, the officers and soldiers of the West Special Army could only hide in the anti-gun holes and endure silently.Because the artillery of the Rakshasa Army had enough range, some shells were even fired into the city of Lower Tagil.Fortunately, the industrial areas in Nizhny Tagil are located in the Dongcheng District and Beicheng District. Most of the Xicheng District that was bombarded is the residential area of ​​the Raksha people, and the industrial facilities have not suffered any damage.

Although the industrial facilities were not damaged, the shelling by the Raksha army angered the aborigines of the Raksha country.Most of these people belong to ethnic minorities, and they don't have a strong sense of identity with the Raksha Empire.Before, they looked at the officers and soldiers of the Western Special Zone from the perspective of invaders, but now they were bombarded by the Raksha Army and suffered a lot of casualties. These people all fell to the side of the West Special Army.The Raksha people unintentionally solved the worries of the West Army.

Chapter 622 Unexpected Discovery

Yekaterinburg was also bombarded in the same way, the difference is that there are more Rakshasa troops here, and there are more large-caliber artillery.Zhou Daogang's headquarters was also within range of the opponent, so he had no choice but to put his own headquarters in the basement of the city.Feeling the shivering ground and the continuous falling dust, Zhou Daogang felt his heart was about to be shaken out. Until 10 minutes after the end of a round of shelling, his ears were still buzzing and he couldn't hear any sound at all.

The civil engineering of the officers and soldiers of the West Special Army before the war was also solid enough, and those solid anti-bunker holes could survive as long as they were not directly hit by large-caliber shells.As a result, less than 300 officers and soldiers of the West Special Army were killed in half an hour of large-caliber shelling by the Raksha Army.

"The enemy is coming up." The front-line observation post blew its whistle, and the soldiers who were in the artillery hole rushed out immediately. They ran quickly in the trench without raising their heads, and soon arrived at their battle positions.Fortunately, the soldiers used fire to bake the excavation fortifications on the ground, making the fortifications near Yekaterinburg much stronger than those in Nizhny Tagil. Now, despite being bombarded by large-caliber artillery for half an hour, the trenches have not been cut down much.

Soon the Raksha Army's mountain artillery and other small-caliber artillery began to fire. Together with the heavy machine guns, they covered the infantry and launched a charge.Yudenich spared no expense in mobilizing heavy troops, and at the same time dispatched cronies to supervise the battle, blocked the retreat of the assault team with machine guns, and greeted anyone who retreated with machine guns.

Facing the threat of death, the soldiers of the Rakshasa Army acted very bravely. They spread out, shouted Ula, and charged towards the front position of the West Army.The bright bayonets gleamed in the sun, and the soldiers of the Raksha Kingdom walked through the remnant snow, desperately trying to get close to the forward position.

The well-trained artillerymen of the West Army quickly started shooting, first with the [-]mm howitzer, followed by the mountain artillery and infantry artillery.The Raksha Army discovered the artillery position of the West Army and quickly fired to suppress it.In order not to be destroyed by the opponent's artillery fire, the artillery of the West Special Army had to be scattered and deployed, changing positions at any time, and the efficiency of the artillery attack was greatly reduced.

Not every type of artillery would be inefficient. When the Luocha army attacked within three kilometers, mortars of various calibers began to fire.Several large-caliber mortars of the West Army even used Hualan's unique long ammunition. Although this kind of range is short, the explosive power is close to that of the 150mm heavy artillery shells, and the Raksha soldiers were thrown off their feet.

Under the interception of artillery fire and cross-firing of machine guns, the Raksha army was shot and killed in large numbers, but they still shouted Ula and charged forward one after another.Among the soldiers of the great powers in the Western Continent, the Rakshasa Army is definitely in the top three in terms of bravery and fearlessness. They have dominated the Western Continent with group charges and hand-to-hand combat.

"Brothers, don't let the old man down. Put on the bayonet and charge." Liu Chengxun personally led the 21st division to stand on the front line.When he saw that the infantry of the Luocha army was about to attack within 100 meters, he immediately issued an order to charge.With the sound of the charge, the west army launched a counter charge across the board.

Seeing the undernumbered Xite army rushing over, the soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom were very excited. They planned to use their numbers and physical advantages to break through the defense line in one go.However, the soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom didn't know what they were about to face. There was still more than 100 meters away when the submachine guns in the hands of the chief and deputy squad leaders rang out. Soldiers shot down a lot.

Soon the soldiers on the run threw offensive grenades, and the bursts of explosions made the Rakshasa army confused.Taking advantage of the opponent's confusion, the soldiers of the West Special Army formed a triangular formation with flat bayonets and stabbed fiercely into the ranks of the Rakshasa Army.The clashing sound of bayonets intertwined with the shouts of killing, and a medieval-like hand-to-hand combat was staged on the battlefield, with fighters from both sides intertwined.At this time, the cannon has lost its effect, and what is really useful is the bayonet and the fearless fighting spirit.

Zhou Daogang, who was behind, was afraid that the 21st Division on the front line would suffer, so he immediately pushed the [-]th Division up.With the addition of new forces, and the submachine guns of the chief and deputy squad leaders and the pistols of the officers showing their prowess, the Rakshasa army was finally repelled.

The battlefield was covered with the corpses of the Rakshasa army. They were mixed with the grass-green corpses of the West Army soldiers, and the color of the ground could hardly be seen.In just one charge of the Rakshasa Army, the 21st Division lost more than 1000 people, and the Rakshasa Army suffered more than [-] casualties.

Zhou Dao just frowned and put down the binoculars, he let out a sigh of relief: "These Raksha people are crazy, they launched an attack regardless of the cost. I think there must be a reason for this, it's not just as simple as taking back strategic points .”

"Commander, we found something in the city. Our division commander invites you to go and have a look." A messenger ran in and reported.

"Oh? Let's go and have a look." Zhou Daogang waved his hand and walked towards the city with the guards.Under the leadership of the messenger, Zhou Daogang quickly came to a building in the city.This building was originally the branch building of Hualuo Daosheng Bank in Yekaterinburg. At this time, it has become the artillery observation post of the West Army.

In the heavy artillery attack just now, several shells landed near the building, blasting out several large pits, and artillery observers inadvertently discovered clues from one of the large pits.He Wenchang, the commander of the Fourth Division, was standing here. When he saw Zhou Daogang coming, he immediately saluted and said, "Report to the commander, we found something unusual, so I decided to let the guard company block the street without authorization."

"Good job, first strictly control the surrounding area, let's go and see what's going on." Zhou Dao just nodded and led people towards the hole.

The hole was located close to the base of the building, and because there were buildings blocking the sunlight, the inside of the hole looked very dark.However, with the faint light, it can still be seen that the space inside is very large, not just as simple as a bomb crater.

"Get two flashlights, let's go down and have a look." Zhou Dao just gave an order, and soon someone brought some flashlights, and three guards walked in the front and jumped down the crater first.Zhou Daogang and He Wenchang jumped in, followed by a dozen guards.

The three guards in front were in high spirits. They flashed a flashlight back and forth in one hand, and flat-ended a Mauser pistol in the other, ready to fire at any time.

"Oh my God." The soldier at the front let out an exclamation, and the flashlight in his hand was almost thrown to the ground.Under the reflection of the light of the flashlight, the dazzling light almost dazzled their eyes.

Chapter 623 Endless Treasure

Zhou Daogang also followed, and when he saw all this, his breathing became stagnant.In front of everyone's eyes, there were large expanses of golden yellow bricks. These bricks were neatly stacked, filling most of the room.Zhou Dao just stepped forward, picked up a golden brick and weighed it, and the heaviness in his hand convinced him that it was a very golden brick.

"There are so many genuine gold bricks." Zhou Daogang's words made everyone gasp.He Wenchang frowned when he heard this sentence: "Immediately seal off the site, and no one is allowed to come down again. After the inspection, the hole will be backfilled."

"That's right, call the chief immediately and tell him the situation here, and wait for someone from the special zone to take over." Zhou Daogang said.The guards were absolutely loyal to the special zone, and they quickly opened a blockade near the bomb crater, preventing anyone from coming down.Zhou Daogang and He Wenchang took a quick look with their flashlights. According to their estimates, there are at least several thousand gold bricks here.

The two of them took the guards and wanted to go ahead to see if there was anything else.When they walked around the golden brick, a more dazzling light attracted them.When the light beams of several flashlights merged together and the dim light allowed them to see those things clearly, the two of them were completely stunned.

The first thing I saw was a cross sealed by a glass cover. This cross should be a pectoral. It is surrounded by pearls, and inlaid with sapphires carved with a Crucifix in the middle. The enamel lace is very fine.The second treasure is a painting, but it is not a painting made with a brush, but made of gold and black silver, hollowed out and inlaid. There are many round gemstones as decorations on it. It is an extremely precious treasure.

"Let's not look any more, everyone back out immediately. Backfill the hole, send people to monitor the place 24 hours a day, and never allow anyone to approach." Fearing that some people would not be able to resist the temptation, Zhou Daogang led people back out immediately, but they didn't know, This time the exit prevented them from feasting their eyes.

Among these things, what is really valuable is not the sapphire pectoral, nor the precious gold painting, but the most inconspicuous dozens of large wooden boxes inside.In those wooden boxes, there is the unique Amber Room in the world.

The Amber Room was a gift from King William I of Prussia to Peter the Great of the Raksha Kingdom in 1716. It has a total decoration area of ​​[-] square feet and is composed of some carefully processed wall panels. The total weight of amber used for decoration is up to six Ton.The walls of the Amber Room are adorned with diamonds, emeralds and rubies in exquisite Roman jewel-setting.

Under the sunlight, the Amber Room will shine with all the colors in the yellow system imaginable by human beings, from lemon yellow to golden red.Later generations, this treasure was looted when the Nazis attacked Hongluo, and its whereabouts were unknown after the war. It was rebuilt later, but it was only a copy, far from the original.

Why are there so many treasures in Yekaterinburg? In fact, this is why Nicholas II wants to devote all his efforts to regaining this area as soon as possible.After the start of the war on the Western Continent, the Teutonic Army relied on submachine guns and other weapons that were far stronger than those in another time and space, and caused heavy losses to the Rakshasa Army. In just over a year of fighting, the Teutonic Army suffered more than 300 million casualties.Although most of these people were able to return to the battlefield after recuperating, the defense of the Raksha Army was getting weaker and weaker.

As the Teutonic Army mobilized its main force to the Eastern Front and jointly attacked with the Austro-Hungarian Empire, intending to defeat the Rakshasa Kingdom in one fell swoop, the battle line quickly advanced to the front line of Minsk.Seeing things were not good, Nicholas II was afraid that the treasury and his private treasury would fall into the hands of the Teutonic people. The treasure was secretly loaded on the train and transported to Yekaterinburg, the rear city he thought was safe.

In order to keep it a secret, only Grand Duke Nicholas and a few trusted ministers knew about it.The transportation at that time was also handled by Grand Duke Nicholas, and even the troops who were transporting did not know what they were transporting.After arriving in Yekaterinburg, the vault of the Hualuo Daosheng Bank was considered the safest, so everything was sent to the vault.Because he was afraid that someone would steal it, Grand Duke Nicholas ordered someone to seal the door of the vault with thick cement, so that the treasures would be sealed.

Grand Duke Nicholas could not protect his property here for a long time, so he ordered a brigade of the Praetorian Guard to stay and guard the place.Although these elite soldiers didn't know what they were protecting, they still stationed here dutifully. This was also the source of the elite troops that He Wenchang encountered when he attacked Yekaterinburg.

Nicholas II never imagined that Yekaterinburg, which he thought was absolutely safe, would fall into the hands of the enemy in an instant.The troops guarding the treasure house were also annihilated. Fortunately, there were no insiders there, and the treasure house would not be exposed for a while.However, all the national wealth of the Raksha Kingdom is there, so naturally it cannot sit idly by and fall into the enemy's hands. That's why Nicholas II spent all his money and gathered troops to snatch it.But he didn't want the cannon to be bombarded randomly, but instead exposed the target in advance.

"What? A lot of gold and treasures?" Zhao Shouhong also gasped after receiving the news. He didn't expect such a big gain from attacking Yekaterinburg.No wonder the Rakshasa army reacted surprisingly quickly and mobilized the army so quickly.

"It seems that we have hit Emperor Luocha's lifeblood." Jiang Fangzhen laughed.

"But can we really withstand the attack of an army of 80?" Pang Bingxun frowned, and his hands were shaking slightly.

Zhao Shouhong sighed and said: "It seems that now we don't want to fight with the Raksha Kingdom. I will convey my order and issue a general mobilization order for the special zone. All the militia will be assembled and incorporated into active duty, and young people of the right age will start organizing military training. The military factory We will go all out to support the front-line equipment, and at the same time, the economy of the entire special zone will be on a wartime track."

"Is this good? Doesn't our export of products have to be cut off?" Jiang Fangzhen asked.

Zhao Shouhong shook his head: "I can't care so much now, at least we have to survive this time first. After ordering the Central Route Army to solve the Irkutsk Military Region, immediately reinforce the Ural Theater. All combat materials are tilted in that direction. We must The decisive battle with the Raksha people is ahead of schedule. Troops are dispatched from the Internal Guard Division and the Gendarmerie Brigade, and together with officials from the Ministry of Finance, they go to Yekaterinburg to receive the treasure, and transport it to Shudu as soon as possible to deposit it in the ICBC treasury. It seems that we can issue our own banknotes gone."

Chapter 624 Stealing Camps and Looting Villages

The entire Western Special Zone started a general mobilization for war. At this time, the achievements of Zhao Shouhong's years of development were revealed.A large number of reserve armories were opened, and in just one week, more than 200 temporary divisions were armed in the Western Special Zone, and nearly [-] million young people were put into military training at the same time.

Both sides who were fighting in the War to Protect the Nation were shocked. They didn't know that there was such a terrifying power in Zhao Shouhong's hands.At this time, the Zhongchuan Radio Station is broadcasting news, promoting the unrighteous act of the Raksha Kingdom's preemptive war against Hualan in an attempt to cede territory again, so that the people of the whole country support the war in the Western Special Zone.At this time, not to mention that no one in the country dared to provoke the Western Special Zone, even if the opponent did not have a single soldier, no one would dare to attack.This is the righteousness of the nation, and whoever dares to turn his elbows outward in front of the righteousness will inevitably betray his relatives.

After receiving the order, Wu Ziyu did not dare to neglect, and he immediately sent his army to attack Irkutsk on the shore of Lake Baikal.The battlefield in the middle road was the only area occupied by the Western Special Zone Army in terms of numbers, so Wu Ziyu planned to directly use the situation of regular warfare to eliminate the enemy in the shortest time.In this way, the Central Army can free up its hands to support the Ural theater in the west.

Pan Wenhua's Department of the First Army, the First Artillery Division and the No.12 Infantry Division Wang Boling's Department quickly crossed Slyudyanka and headed towards Lake Baikal.The No.14 Infantry Division Yu Feipeng and Liu Hongkui of the Inner Huns Cavalry Division entered Tangnu Wulianghai, where there were two infantry divisions of the Luocha Army who had been entangled with the Outer Huns Cavalry Division for a month.

In this short period of one month, Ma Hongkui successfully attacked repeatedly by relying on the fact that he had already wiped out the Luocha army's mobile unit.He took advantage of his own cavalry to disperse and harass his logistics supply lines, so that the Rakshasa army had to dispatch heavy troops to escort them every time they transported supplies.

The commander of the Rakshasa Army had telegraphed the Irkutsk Military Region several times, requesting to send Cossack cavalry to cover the supply line, or to allow them to retreat, but they were all rejected by the high-level military region.In fact, the attack on Hualan is not up to the military region to decide, and they have no right to withdraw the troops.The Cossack cavalry is not what the military region does not want to give. After several battles with Hualan, the Cossack cavalry belonging to the Irkutsk military region was completely lost, and it was impossible to draw out an organized cavalry brigade.

The Irkutsk Military District and the Ministry of the Army quarreled over the radio. The Military District demanded to withdraw their troops to protect themselves, but the Army Department believed that it was a matter of the face of the Raksha Empire. Such a dismal retreat was unimaginable.The military area also quarreled with the infantry divisions. One demanded to advance as soon as possible, while the other demanded an immediate retreat.In this way, time was wasted in the wrangling of all parties in the Raksha army. The Raksha army, which was supposed to be extremely fast, was moving at a snail's pace.

Yu Feipeng, who led the reinforcements, seized this favorable opportunity and led the No.14 Infantry Division to quickly penetrate the Sayan Mountains.Liu Hongkui's troops and Ma Hongkui's troops soon merged together, and with the combined forces of the two cavalry divisions, their strength was sufficient to launch an attack on the Luocha army.

The Rakshasa army did not know that the enemy reinforcements had arrived in person. They were still stationed in the upper reaches of the Enesie River not far from Kizyl, waiting for domestic reinforcements.Two cavalry divisions took advantage of the darkness to surround the Raksha army camp. When the unique bull horn of the Huns cavalry sounded, the Raksha army suddenly became alarmed.
