"Don't talk about military theory. The Chinese had already had a complete military theory system of "The Art of War" more than two thousand years ago. The vast majority of Chinese people are ignorant, but the base of China's population is too large, so it is normal for some elites to appear. For example, the opponents we met in front of us, the new army of the Chinese, and their supreme commander Shen Congyun, were all amazing figures when they were taken to the world. Once a big country has a wise leader, it is very terrible." Kuropatkin didn't know what was wrong, and a feeling of regret arose in his heart.

The adjutant responded to the voice and sent the order. Kuropatkin looked at the scene where the yard was busy, looked up at the stars in the sky. It was a world full of unknowns, just like the battlefield in Liaodong, so unpredictable.

"Maybe, it will be difficult for me to leave the Far East with decentness." A slight sigh floated quietly in the early morning night wind.

………………………………………

On the Mudanjiang front line, a fierce artillery fire plowed the 11th Division's front line of the field several times. In the past two days, the Russian army, which left more than a thousand corpses in front of the position, began to trot forward carefully with the cover of the morning mist. When the familiar and hateful position was in front of him, it seemed that there was no reaction on the position at all.

A hundred meters away, the Russian soldiers rushing in front began to get nervous. What made the Russian soldiers remember these days most deeply is that at this distance, the small-caliber artillery and machine gun rifles of the Chinese were no different from the sickle of the God of Death. However, what is strange today is that there is still no response on the position.

"Ula!" The officer waving the commanding knife shouted. The soldiers knew that this was the most critical moment, and they shouted loudly and rushed forward with speed.

On the second-line defensive position about five hundred meters away, Qi Chenggong held the telescope and watched patiently the changes on the first-line position. When he saw several red flags shaking rapidly in the morning mist, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Qi Chenggong's mouth and slowly picked up the phone.

"Jiang Youli, the weather is good, and the Russians are on the front line. Please treat me well."

"Heavy Artillery Regiment! The target is right in front of it, with a ruler of 3300, three rapid shots!" Jiang Youli, who had been holding back for two days, put down the phone and rushed out of the command post. He shouted at the messenger, as if he wanted to vent all the breath he had been holding back in the past two days.

The Russian army, who had not encountered any resistance, rushed to the position and found that the "damn" Chinese soldiers had run away, suddenly burst into loud cheers.

But the cheers had just sounded less than a minute, and a dense and sharp whistling suddenly came from the misty morning mist.

"Dog shit is a heavy artillery, lie down quickly." An officer greeted loudly and lie down at the same time. The Russian soldiers beside him had already lie down smartly. They were a little slower and were immediately swept into the sky by overwhelming artillery fire.

When Russian soldiers recalled the post-war memories, whenever they mentioned the artillery fire of the Chinese army, they often used words such as "hell" and "eyes" to describe the density and accuracy of artillery fire. Shen Congyun, who has always regarded artillery development as the most important part of the new army, has invested hugely in artillery. Not to mention, in the past three years, the large-caliber artillery purchased from Germany had nearly a thousand large-caliber artillery pieces. During the first battle, a group of Russian troops had only been equipped with 4-500 artillery pieces. The new army created by Shen Congyun, excluding mortars, was equipped with a heavy artillery regiment, not to mention that each army was equipped with a heavy artillery brigade. In terms of the number of artillery, it was twice as many as that of the Russian army on the Far East battlefield.

In just ten minutes, the sudden and intense artillery fire strikes allowed the Russian army who were on the front line to taste the taste of joy and sorrow. The pre-locked shooting of the various elements made the artillery fire strikes extremely accurate and there was almost no waste.

With the cover of morning mist, the artillery positions of the 11th Division were not exposed at all. After giving the Russian army a severe lesson, the artillery fire stopped.

The sun came out, and the thick fog dissipated quickly in the sunlight. The Russian army, who suffered a great loss, hid carefully in the dilapidated fortifications, and sent more than a hundred soldiers shouting unlucky to risk moving the more unlucky guys who won the artillery fire.

The statistics were soon released. After a fire came down, the Russian army, who had just arrived on the front line, lost three or four hundred people. The angry Russian army calmed down and did not launch a counterattack immediately. Instead, when the thick fog was dissipated, and when they saw clearly the second defensive position built by the Chinese army five hundred meters away, the heavy artillery with a large caliber sounded again.

………………………………

Almost as Qi successfully attacked the Russian army with cannons, all the artillery of the Fourth Army under Dandong City was concentrated in the north of the city. More than 100 cannons aimed at the remaining positions outside the city. After half an hour of blasting, they began to extend backwards.

The artillery fire had just extended and fired, and Russian soldiers slipped into positions from their respective bunkers. According to conventional rules, the Chinese army must have charged after preparing artillery fire.

Things are always a bit unexpected. Jiang Yiding played a phased preparation for artillery fire this time. The Russian infantry had just arrived at the position and just lifted the cloth on the machine gun. Another shell roared down. This time it was so lively.

When the artillery fire outside Dandong City was in full swing, Song Qing and Xu Bangdao on the Gengtu Ridge looked up at the same time. Looking at the scene of the rising smoke of gunpowder, the two of them showed envious expressions at the same time.

The number of artillery in the Fourth Army was three times that of the North Korean Supervisor Army and was still a fraction of the time. The North Korean Supervisor Army had a 25,000-strong organization, and a separate artillery team equipped with 40 75mm battalion artillery and field artillery. The main source of these artillery was captured from the Japanese army during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Shen Congyun sold his favor and gave it to Song Qing and Xu Bang.

After surrendering, Shen Congyun generously added more than a dozen cannons to Song Qing and Xu Bangdao, which was considered to be part of the relationship that the two did not go to Manchu during the Wuxu period.

"Brother Xu, you and I will divide the work. The ridge is under your command. I will go to the other side of the official road to find a place to build a position, and the two sides are in a horn-like manner." Song Qing smiled faintly and withdrew his gaze.

"Brother Song, how can you do this? You are in charge of the ridge, and I'll go down there." Xu Bangdao said firmly. Song Qing smiled bitterly. He knew that it would be useless to persuade him. He could only smile: "In this way, brothers, take care of yourself and keep in touch at any time."

Jiang Yiding's artillery preparation was quite successful. The assault troops jumped up from the ground with a charge and rushed towards Dandong City like a tide. Jiang Yiding turned around calmly and said to the adjutant: "Go and send our combat plan to the military region."

Speaking of which, the military region's order was to ask Jiang Yiding to give up attacking Dandong, but this guy did the opposite and was disobedient. However, Jiang Yiding knew it. As long as he explained the situation clearly, Liu Yongfu was there in the military region, he would not do anything to him.

When Xu Zhen received Jiang Yiding's telegram, he began to sweat all over after reading it. He wanted to curse, but after carefully analyzing what Jiang Yiding said, he felt that Jiang Yiding's handling was undoubtedly the best, assuming that Song Qing and Xu Bangdao could withstand the attack of the Russian army and that Jiang Yiding could take Dandong in time. As for what Jiang Yiding said in the telegram, he was trying to win Dandong within two days, Xu Zhen couldn't help but sneer at it, and what a joke, the Fourth Army faced 30,000 Russian troops. Without the coordinated combat of Song Qing's troops, it would be a good thing to be able to take it down in a week.
