Struggle in Russia

Kornilov was indeed so angry that, in his opinion, the fat heads and brains of the Admiralty and War Department sitting in the luxurious St. Petersburg offices should be dragged out and shot one by one.

Last year he suggested that the new breech rifle should be popularized in the whole army immediately, even if it is equipped with paper shell ammunition similar to the Miner rifle. At the worst, he also tried to improve the old musket and convert it into a breech-loaded articulated rifle. Also good.

　　 But the group of fat-minded lords refused, the open-mouthed and closed-mouthed weapons are advanced enough without improvement. Now that you see what is called advanced enough! late!

　　 Kornilov's words immediately made some people at the scene uncomfortable, because they were the ones who refused Kornilov's request at the time. It was a hot pain to slap Kornilov on the spot!

　　 It’s just that this crop was quickly interrupted by a new round of fire from the British and French coalition forces and the Turkish artillery. This time only a small number of blasting bombs, most of them are grape bombs, also known as grenade bombs.

　　 The blasting elasticity of this year is relatively limited, and the effect is average in the middle and short distances, but it does not matter that the traditional grape bombs are large enough to be presumptuous!

　　 The poor Russian gray animals are really fateful, and they finally charged forward with all their lives, and they were about to meet the enemy at close range as they watched. The overwhelming grape-sized small steel **** smeared their faces.

Suddenly there was another flesh and blood, especially the Turks. Although they even used chain bullets in the grape bullets, the so-called chain bullets were actually big iron chains. You can see an iron chain rotating and sweeping like a meat grinder.

　　 Even some chain bullets are simply composed of four sharp blades. They are folded into the barrel before firing, and they are opened and quickly rotated under the impact of impact after firing. It is really no different from a meat grinder.

　　 Tell the truth, this type of shell is actually used more by the navy to cut local sails during naval battles. Before the popularization of steam power, once the sail cable was cut, the ship was de-powered and could only be slaughtered.

　　 This kind of chain bullet used to hit the human body is a bit too cruel, and it will break the human body directly when it hits it, which is horrible.

　　 This close-range fire-focused shooting almost sentenced the Russian army to the death penalty. After leaving a **** trace in front of the coalition positions, even the gray animals collapsed without fear of death.

　　 The remaining Russian army immediately threw down its weapons and turned around and fled, regardless of how the officer shouted or even enforced the military law. Compared with the firepower of the coalition forces, the swords of the officers are simply pediatrics.

Paskovic’s old face has been twitching. This highly hopeful offensive is simply horrible. He was beaten back without even touching the enemy’s hair, and he was killed or injured more than half. He said that this was a fiasco and a shame. !

In his temper, he must execute battlefield discipline and kill a few people to vent his anger, but he insists on saying how unbearable the gray animals are. That is not the case. In such a fierce fire, they can have such a performance and cause death and injury. It's not uncommon to collapse after halfway through.

　　 But he was angry in his heart. As long as he turned his head and saw Kornilov's face, he was uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

　　 "Shoot to death those cowards who took the lead!"

　　 Laoqiu gave the order coldly, but in the end he chose to maintain his authority and face, which is the most important thing for him.

　　 It's just that after giving the order, he walked down the high platform without looking back. The gloomy face clearly wrote the words "Don't get close to strangers!"

　　 Anyone who has witnessed everything from the beginning knows that this is Lao Qiuba who feels ashamed of himself and can't help it happen. Who made him talk so full yesterday and devalued Kornilov and the naval infantry.

　　Okay, now the face slap is too fast and too violent, and there is no way to help him wash the floor, so I can only do it myself and hide first.

　　 "What do you think that old guy will do next?" Nasimov asked Kornilov after returning to the flagship.

　　 "I don't know!" Kornilov shook his head, "I hope he can learn from his lesson and wake up soon. In that case, the sacrifices today are not in vain!"

　　 It's just that Kornilov and Nasimov both know that this possibility is very small. Paskovic placed too much hope on this landing, and almost put his old face in to place bets.

　　 You ask him to stop now, how will he end? How to explain to Nicholas I why he failed to achieve success?

　　 I can’t say that the enemy is too powerful and I can’t beat it, right?

　　 is determined by his personality and situation, he can neither admit defeat nor stop, he must have to make new attempts.

　　 "Your Excellency Commander ordered you and General Nasimov to have a meeting at his headquarters at 3 o'clock in the afternoon to discuss the next stage of combat plans!"

　　 Hearing this order, Kornilov and Nasimov were both bitter and unspeakable. Obviously Lao Qiubai still wants to be a demon!

Sure enough, Paskovic said at the meeting: "The reason why the morning's offensive failed. On the one hand, the reason is that the enemy's firepower is unprecedentedly strong and far exceeds our previous expectations. On the other hand, The reason is that the troops lack courage and fear of life and death."

"So if we want to win, we must solve these two problems. The first problem is unavoidable, so we can only start with the second problem. We must greatly boost morale and emphasize battlefield discipline, so that the soldiers must understand. Not advancing is treason, and treason must be executed!"

Lao Qiu Ba commanded murderously: "From now on, I will order the strictest battlefield discipline. Any retreat or stagnation is equivalent to treason and can be rectified immediately... I authorize all officers, and they can be executed immediately on the spot. Any soldier who does not execute the order...must let the soldiers understand that not executing the order is a dead end!"

　　 Kornilov and Nasimov were stunned. After doing it for a long time, this old Qiubai is so capable? Is it killing soldiers and threatening soldiers to advance with decapitation?

　　What's the use of this special? As long as there is no way to weaken the enemy's artillery advantage, there are not enough people to fill the hole in it. If only bravery can defeat the enemy, what tactics are needed? What more command? Everyone is more than afraid of death!

　　 The problem is that fighting is not better than not being afraid of death. Sometimes in the face of technological divide, blindly not being afraid of death is equivalent to giving someone a head. This is simply a crime!

Suddenly Kornilov couldn't help it. He was the first to stand up and oppose: "I don't agree. Judging from the battle this morning, our young men are brave on the whole. The reason why they failed to win is more. It’s a tactical and technical problem, not a courage problem!"
