In fact, after learning that the 1st Army was divided and surrounded by the civilian army, Linevic prepared for rescue as soon as possible. After all, the 1st Army was not only the army he had originally commanded, but also the current safety also concerns the victory or defeat of the Russian army. Therefore, both public and private, Linevic must be rescued.

However, it takes time to mobilize the army and make plans, and also to reconnaise the enemy situation. These tasks cannot be completed in a short period of time. Of course, Linnevic also believes that the 1st Army can hold on to the siege of the People's Army for at least 3 days, which is enough for him to arrange a rescue plan.

Of course, Linevic also considered whether to send an army to approach the encirclement of the People's Army as soon as possible, so as not to rescue the 1st Army immediately, but to put pressure on the People's Army so that they could not attack and boost morale to the 1st Army. Now, Linevic is gathering early in the morning and sent out the 1st Division and 2nd Divisions to gather.

But on the second day, the People's Army's central army suddenly launched a counterattack against the Russian army, first with heavy artillery loaded armored vehicles as support, and launched a fierce shelling at the Russian position. This was also the second day after the Russian army's attack, the People's Army's armored train bombarded the Russian artillery positions, and once again bombarded the Russian army. The 240 mm caliber artillery shells also suffered a lot. The People's Army then launched an attack on the Russian position and successfully attacked several positions of the Russian car, and launched fierce close-in battles with the Russian army.

However, the Russian army's hand-to-hand combat capability that has always been proud of has lost its standard in front of the People's Army. In close combat, the Russian army not only did not occupy any of the People's Army, but was faintly suppressed by the People's Army.

Samsolov, the commander of the 4th Army, hurriedly sent a reserve team to reinforce various positions. After more than four hours of fierce fighting, it was considered that Wuqiang defended several positions, but the People's Army still recaptured the positions captured by the Russian army on the fourth day.

After receiving the report, Linevic was also very surprised. He did not expect that while surrounding the left-wing army of the Russian army, the People's Army had the remaining strength to launch a counterattack against the Russian army in the middle. Could this be some trick of the People's Army? He induced the Russian army to withdraw troops to rescue the 1st Army, and took advantage of the empty defense of the Russian army's middle road to launch an attack on the middle road. Therefore, we must not be careful. As for sending troops to reinforce, we should take a step forward and see the situation. Anyway, it is not a bad day.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The People's Army's shelling of the Russian 1st Army stopped at 3 pm. Although the Russian army had more than 50,000 people at this time, it had completely lost its power of resistance.

Although the People's Army's artillery was not a fully covered artillery, the Russian army's scope was narrow and lacked effective cover, so it had no defense against the People's Army's artillery, and there was no place to hide, so it could only leave the will of fate. Under such artillery attacks, the Russian army could of course not form an effective defense line.

During the People's Army's artillery bombardment, the Russian army also launched two assaults, hoping to highlight the siege of the People's Army, but was stopped by the People's Army with dense firepower and could not break through at all, so they had to retreat again.

However, the People's Army did not take advantage of the situation to launch an attack, but sent two captured Russian soldiers to bring a letter of surrender to the commander of the Russian army, Stagri Fort, demanding that the Russian army surrender immediately. Because the Russian army and the Japanese army have made the decision to "get out of Asia and Europe", they still have an Eastern mindset in their thinking. They regard surrender as the greatest shame for soldiers. In addition, Japan's unique Bushido spiritual education, so when they are in trouble, the Japanese army rarely surrendered. Most of them choose to fight to the death, die with the enemy, and even commit suicide, and are unwilling to be a prisoner. In the Battle of Yalu River, 160,000 Japanese soldiers were exhausted physically and mentally, and were completely surrounded by the People's Army, but the People's Army only captured more than 40,000 prisoners.

The Russian army is different. Although Russia's territory spans the Eurasian continent, Russia has always regarded itself as a European country. It is common for it to surrender if it cannot be defeated on the battlefield and there is no psychological obstacle. Therefore, in the previous battle between Japan and Russia, the number of Japanese soldiers killed slightly more than the Russian soldiers, while the number of captured Russian soldiers was much higher than that of the Japanese army. For the People's Army, it is of course best to be able to persuade surrender.

Sure enough, after receiving the People's Army's letter of surrender, Stagli Fort immediately recruited officers to discuss it. In fact, at this time, the Russian army still has the qualifications to continue to be tough. Everyone knows that once the People's Army launches an attack, the Russian army will undoubtedly be wiped out. Therefore, instead of being beaten to death by the People's Army, it is better to surrender now, and at least save your life. After the war is over, there is still hope of being released home. There is no need to die in an unnecessary battle here.

So Stagri Fort and the officers finally decided to accept the request of the People's Army to surrender and hand over the weapons. Of course, the People's Army also assured them that the personal safety of the Russian officers and soldiers could be ensured. Then, according to the requirements of the People's Army, the Russian soldiers put down their weapons in turn and walked to the designated locations of the People's Army to assemble. The officers representing the 1st Army, who gave their command knives and guns to the People's Army, symbolizing the official surrender of the Russian army.

However, it is not a simple matter to accept the surrender of more than 50,000 Russian troops. Not only do you have to confiscate all the weapons and ammunition of Russian soldiers, but you also have to inspect each Russian soldier. What if someone secretly hides some weapons? In addition, you have to count and collect various documents and information carried by the Russian army. These are of great intelligence value, so they cannot be completed in a short time. To apply a famous saying from the old time and space, "It will take several days to catch all the xx pigs, so why are they humans?"

Finally, I was busy until almost 7 o'clock in the evening, and all the prisoners were investigated. A total of 53,744 people were arrested, including 6 lieutenant generals and 22 major generals, which was not counted as captured firearms and ammunition. This was also the first time that the established army had surrendered to itself since the People's Army sent troops to join the war.

However, the Russian Supreme Commander Linevic knew nothing about what happened on his left-wing battlefield and was still struggling with where the real attack direction of the People's Army was.

It was only early the next morning that Linievich received the news that it was clear that the 1st Army on the left wing of the Russian army had been completely defeated by the People's Army, and the remaining troops surrendered like the People's Army. It can be said that the entire army was wiped out. Linievich was shocked. After replenishing his troops, the 1st Army's strength had reached more than 83,000. With such a powerful force, he did not expect that in just one day, the Russian army on the left wing would be completely wiped out by the People's Army. Will the combat effectiveness of the People's Army be so strong? If I had known this, I should have sent troops to reinforce yesterday. Even if I could not rescue the 1st Army, it would have allowed the 1st Army to last a few more days. But it was too late to regret it now, and the crisis in front of me was even more urgent.

The left-wing army was completely wiped out, and a big gap appeared on the Russian front. The flanks of the middle-road army were completely exposed to the People's Army's troops. Even the Russian army was in danger of being defeated on the whole line. Linnevic did not dare to neglect and hurried to the right-wing army to withdraw immediately. However, it was too late at this time, because just the next morning, the People's Army launched a full-line counterattack on the Russian positions.

In fact, just that night, after the People's Army annihilated the Russian 1st Army, it was ready to attack again. The 4th Army moved to the flank of the Russian 4th Army, while the 3rd Army rushed to the left-wing battlefield and strengthened the left-wing troops. The 5th Army was responsible for escorting the Russian prisoners back to Liaoyang and serving as a reserve for the entire army.

In fact, although the People's Army's reinforcements rushed back, they were still slightly less powerful than the Russian army in terms of total strength. However, the spiritual fighting spirit of both sides was not on the same level. After the Russian army learned that the 1st Army had been completely wiped out, they all had a great morale. After receiving the order from Linevic to withdraw, they all wanted to withdraw back to Shenyang quickly, and had no intention of fighting at all. However, the People's Army was very morale, holding the remaining power of the 1st Army of the Russian Army hostage and launched a fierce attack on the Russian positions.

Because it was the 4th Army in the middle of the Russian army, the air door on the flank was wide open and attacked by the People's Army on both sides, which made the Russian army lose sight of each other. If they were to defend their positions, they could still resist for a while. However, it was difficult to prevent the Russian army's 4th Army while the Russian army retreated, and finally defeated the Russian army's blocking troops from the flank of the Russian army, and inserted it from the flank of the Russian army. In cooperation with the front attacking army, they separated the two divisions of the 4th Army of the Russian army from the large force, surrounded them, and repeated the scene of the 1st Army.

As a result, although the Russian 4th Army finally escaped, the two divided divisions were surrounded by the People's Army. Although the Russian army launched a breakthrough battle, it failed to break through under the strict defense of the People's Army. Under the fierce bombardment of the People's Army's armored train cannons and tow artillery, the surrounded Russian army could not resist, and in the end the remaining nearly 20,000 Russian troops surrendered to the People's Army.

Relatively speaking, the situation of the 5th Army on the right wing of the Russian army is much better. Because the flanks are not threatened by the People's Army, they can retreat calmly. Although the People's Army relies on the long-range and heavy artillery power of self-propelled artillery to defeat the Russian 5th Army's 5th Army's 5th Army's severance cover force, it is impossible to divide and surround the Russian army like the middle battlefield, so it is naturally difficult to achieve greater results, and the 5th Army can escape unscathed. At least the troops without a regiment-level establishment were completely wiped out by the People's Army.
