After all, the volunteers suffered from lack of experience. Facts have proved that one winter cannot train elites. This winter, they actually only went through some basic queue training and weapons and equipment training. The rest of the time was spent on brainwashing. Instill in their hearts the rage of revenge and the good hope of building a nation in the future.
Queue training lets soldiers know what military discipline is and also gives them a clear understanding of the organization of the army. Weapons and equipment training teaches them how to fire cannons, discharge guns, aim, grenade attacks, bayonet fights, etc.
Ideological indoctrination gave them the driving force to fight bravely. This war was actually supported by the unyielding spirit of the survivors of the Far East, which supported them until now.
But when it comes to the battlefield, their levels are far different.
What is Crossfire? It's written in the textbook, but after actually playing a dozen times, there's a gap?
You have become proficient in bayonet fighting, but what if the enemy uses a saber and a tomahawk? Or a mixture of cold weapons and hot weapons? The few sets of bayonet fighting skills you have mastered are not enough.
Not to mention band assault, pincer attack, small roundabout penetration... and other tactical coordination that require long-term practice. No one in the volunteer army understands these tactics except the veterans.
Fortunately, the volunteer army had the advantage of strength and the spirit of revenge in their hearts had not vented, so they were able to stay together with the enemy. The area where the two sides are fighting is now four kilometers away from the first village wall, and this distance has been maintained for one and a half months. It's been an hour, and there has been no progress on the front line for such a long time.
Human Tuvadim smiled, Commander-in-Chief Tiyachenko also laughed, and even Rear Admiral Aitorin also laughed. In this battle, as long as the stalemate can be maintained, it is victory.
Consuming a large amount of the volunteers' strength, and then waiting for the Central Asian cavalry regiment to give them the final blow. This tactic is perfect. "Our cavalry regiment has 50,000 Cossacks. This battle is definitely won!"
Ding Si, Ma Hui, and the others are almost going crazy now. Why didn't they arrive first? This group of Rakshasa ghosts would be so tenacious. The outermost wall of the village was breached. They thought everything would be smoother later, but the street fighting unexpectedly turned out to be so tough. So cruel.
The Tsarist Russian assault team of five or six people on the opposite side suddenly jumped out of the darkness, and we had to use two or three times more troops to block it, otherwise we would not be able to stop their offensive rhythm at all.
There were cold guns everywhere in the darkness, and bullets were flying everywhere. Ding Si's scalp was scratched by the bullets, and a long snow scab rested on his head.
"What kind of bullshit fight is this! How did it happen? How did it happen? It was fine just now, but why suddenly I can't push anymore..." There was another gunshot, and he subconsciously shrank his neck in fear.
At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind Ding Si, which was also mixed with the sound of horse hooves, and then a group of tough soldiers rushed out of the darkness, wearing military uniforms that were completely different from them.
"General's Guards? It's General Xiang's Guard Company..." As people exclaimed, the soldiers of the Guard Company had already raised their guns and started to fight back into the darkness. The troops of the two squads formed a crossfire and advanced rapidly in a zigzag manner, under heavy gunfire. The Rakshasa soldiers in the darkness could not raise their heads.
The guard company quickly rushed into the darkest darkness and fought with the enemy's bayonets. By the time Xiang Shaolong's figure appeared in the light of the torch, five corpses were already lying on the road.
Ding Si quickly saluted the general, and then led a ring of soldiers to help the guard company set up a large defensive circle. Ma Hui asked the familiar guard company brothers, "Why did the general come up? It's too dangerous here..."
"Danger? It's not like you fought in such a mess. What is there four kilometers away? Why didn't you attack for an hour and a half? You even let the enemy launch a few counterattacks. Are you embarrassed..."
Ma Hui and Ding Si's faces turned red, "Brother! It's not that we didn't work hard, it's that these Rakshasa ghosts suddenly went crazy... You have no idea what just happened, and there were even injured soldiers covered with Rakshasa ghosts. You’ve got explosives to come and die with us!”
"There are riflemen everywhere in the dark, and one after another assault teams rush up to fight with us with bayonets... I'm not afraid of your jokes, we are really no match for them in hand-to-hand combat..."
"Listen... the west side is roaring again, probably another enemy commando has come up to fight melee... It's Ula charging, those Rakshasa ghosts are roaring again..."
The soldiers in the guard company were stunned when they heard Ding Si and Ma Hui's introduction. They couldn't understand what happened, and the answer to this question was exactly what Xiang Shaolong wanted to find.
"Who is the commander of this army! Come and see me..." Mr. Long suddenly shouted. Ma Hui and Ding Si trembled in fright. They looked at each other and no one dared to come close.
It was the same guard who kicked the two of them in the buttocks. "Go! The battle has reached this level, and even the beatings are light..."
Surprisingly, Xiang Shaolong did not lose his temper at the two of them. Instead, he pointed at the open space surrounded by torches and asked, "What's going on? Where is the head of this corpse?"
On the ground is the body of a Tsarist Russian soldier. The head can no longer be found, the weapons on the body are gone, and there is not even anything valuable left.
Ding Si breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, "Report to the general! It wasn't us, it was the Fuso warriors who did it... I saw them with my own eyes, running like mad dogs, cutting off the enemy's head with a wheel knife..."
"They hung the enemy's head on their waist, and there was a lot of blood. It was disgusting to look at..."
"Fuck!" Mr. Long cursed, "So those dead women and children were also killed by them?"
"That's right, they said that these Rakshasa ghosts all have innocent souls in their hands. You can't sympathize with any of them, you have to kill them all..." Ma Hui said.
Now the answer to the question has been found. "So that's it. Why are these Rakshasa ghosts crazy? If you stimulate their morale like this, they will definitely face a violent backlash..."
Xiang Shaolong suddenly remembered a truth that Xiao Letian said when he was drinking with them before. It was a ritual proposition of human beings towards death. Mr. Long has not forgotten that truth to this day.
Xiao Letian once said that the reason why humans are different from animals is that having wisdom and using tools is only one factor. Another very important factor is that among all species, only humans can think about the nature of life, that is, the birth of new life. and the death of old life.
Animals cannot think about where their lives come from and where they are going. Only humans spend a lot of energy thinking about life and death.
A philosopher once said, "When human beings finally have the consciousness of funeral, human beings finally break away from the category of beasts in their souls..."
