Struggle in Russia

Vol 3 Chapter 572: Casualties (on)

The shelling on March 28, 1853 left many Russian soldiers with an unforgettable shadow in their lives.

According to the records of the battle history of the British and French expeditionary forces, they fired more than 100,000 artillery shells at the “enemies” of Ineada on this day, of which new explosive shells accounted for half.

Compared with the Russian army, the Anglo-French Expeditionary Forces have the vast majority of newer artillery capable of using explosive bombs, and they have an overwhelming advantage in firepower.

On this day, the Russian army also felt the despair that the Turks in Sinop Port felt. 35% of the city of Ineada was completely destroyed. It is estimated that the casualties of the residents alone were as high as 40,000.

The Russian army paid thousands of casualties on this day, and Nasimov’s ships responsible for transporting the wounded were overcrowded. Fortunately, the artillery of the British and French coalition forces did not threaten the dock area for the time being, otherwise the Russian casualties may be even greater.

The shelling was only the beginning of the nightmare. After the fierce shelling, the Turkish side immediately invested 30,000 troops to start a group-style non-stop assault.

The new Turkish army lined up in tight formations, crowded and crowded and marched neatly, looking from the sky like an arc-shaped wall surrounding Ineada, but it was spectacular but the actual threat to the Russian army was very high. limited.

In addition to psychological pressure, these old tactics of Turkey are actually not much different from live targets in front of Russian naval infantry.

Russian soldiers don’t even need to aim carefully, just use the black hole of the muzzle to aim at this wall of people and pull the trigger.

This is not difficult for them equipped with a new rifle, so after a nightmare morning, the Russian army, who was stunned by the fierce artillery fire of the coalition army, quickly got revenge.

The accuracy of the rifled gun determines that Russian soldiers can “precisely” strike the enemy at a distance of hundreds of meters, and the extremely fast loading speed of the copper shell fixed ammunition allows them to cause a large number of casualties even with a few people.

The Turk wall only advanced 500 meters and paid the price of more than a thousand casualties. Then, the Russian artillery, who had been suppressed by the British and French expeditionary forces for a morning, also began to counterattack. They swept the Turkish queue with grape bombs and explosive bombs, like Cut the leeks and threw down the Turks.

When the Turks really rushed to the first line of defense of the Russian army, nearly 3,000 people had already died in this group charge.

And this is just the beginning. As they get closer to the Russian army, and the Russian army sends more troops to the front line to consolidate the defense line, when more and more new rifles are put into battle and fired violently.

The casualties of the Turks began to rise in a straight line. Looking around, there was a layer of Turks on the front of the Russian army’s position.

This was called a veritable queuing to shoot. The Turks in the front row were knocked down, and the Turks in the back row pushed forward, row by row, dying generously, until their nerves collapsed.

Facts have proved that the Turks are still afraid of death, even if the imam tells them this is a holy war, every war dead will ascend to heaven to receive seventy-two of them, but as there are more and more corpses under their feet, as The blood was drifting, and as more and more wounded cried and groaned, they were still human after all, and eventually collapsed.

The Turkish walls spread out like sand, and as they fled, they almost lost everything and fled in a hurry. They lost their rifles, their marching bags, and even their shoes. Everyone only hates their parents for having two fewer legs. In order to escape, they have no scruples, knocking over compatriots who are not running fast enough, and even trampling over their compatriots’ bodies, as long as they can escape for their lives.

This meticulously prepared offensive was thundered and rainy. If the violent shelling by the British and French coalition forces resembled an impassioned symphony, then the Turkish offensive was ultimately smaller than the mosquitoes.

Seeing the Turks scattered, the Russian naval infantry sighed with relief while gritted their teeth. The previous shelling had hit them too badly. Countless people lost their good friends and brothers, making them angry. And resentment.

How they want to rush up and kick the Turk’s **** hard, it is best to chop off all their dog heads one by one, and use their flesh and blood to commemorate the dead friends.

It’s just that reason has stopped them. There are too many enemies on the opposite side. Even if they pay the price of more than 10,000 casualties, they are all suppressed in the distance, and the shelling of the British and French expeditionary forces is coming again!

“These **** bastards! Cover, find cover now!”

The company commander and the sergeant kicked the soldier in the **** one by one, making them scatter around looking for shelter. The previous shelling fully illustrates one thing, if there is not a strong enough bunker, the enemy’s shelling can smooth everything out!

The Turks fled in a panic, and the Russian naval infantry panicked looking for shelter. It’s just that there are any bunkers on the front line, and it’s lucky to be able to find a broken brick wall. Buildings are either razed to the ground or are burning.

“No wonder Andre ordered the troops to bring shovel, our soldiers really need shovel!”

Standing on the mast of the flagship and using a telescope to witness the actual situation on the battlefield, Kornilov said to Nasimov:

“I also need a shovel. I must have one. The sooner the better!”

With a shovel, you can dig a hole or dig a hole~www.wuxiax.com~ No need to look around for shelter. Kornilov and Nasimov felt a little funny when Li Xiao distributed a large number of engineering shovel to the Wallachian garrison and the Wallachian National Army.

They thought that Wallachia was already demonic, and they really regarded all the troops as construction workers, just thinking about building fortresses.

Now it seems that the engineer shovel is very useful. If every soldier on the front line can dig a hole for himself to hide, the enemy’s shelling effect will be discounted by at least half.

Nasimov also nodded: “I immediately ordered the logistics to try to do it, but I think it’s best to invite some veterans from Wallachia to dig trenches and build fortifications. Obviously they have more experience. We need These experiences!”

“Yes, we need. We never know what we need most if we don’t really fight. Sometimes I wonder why Andre and Alexei always get one step ahead? You see, right? The power of the new rifle?”

Of course Nasimov saw that although half of the casualties on the battlefield were made by his fleet with fierce gunfire, the efficiency of the new rifle’s rapid harvesting of life in pieces also surprised him. It was simply a one-sided slaughter. He felt that the result was the same when the charging unit was replaced by the Russian army, which was too scary!
