Lin Yuan looked at Yu Ming, the commander-in-chief of the Songhua River Fleet, with an inquiring gaze, and asked, "Can your gunboat pass through the flood zone?"

The flow of the river is very fast, and the gunboat is greatly impacted by the current, so it is very likely that the gunboat will not be able to control it, and will be hit by the waves on the reef. Since the river has overflowed the channel, the water in some places is very shallow. Traveling in those places is very likely to run aground.

Moreover, the flood that comes ashore will accumulate a large amount of sand and stones, which may also damage the propeller of the gunboat. Therefore, it is very dangerous for the gunboat to travel in the river at this time.

If the gunboat can break through the flood area and reach the outside of Laha Susu City, then a steel Great Wall will be built on the water surface, and it will be difficult for the Russian army without a gunboat to surpass it.

Yu Ming thought for a while and said, "We can try."

Lin Yuan knew that he could not hesitate at this time. He was willing to believe in the strength of the Yu Ming Fleet. From Sanxing City to Laha Susu, the waterway was nearly [-] kilometers. Such a distance, at the speed of the Songhua River Fleet, would cost fifteen After an hour or so, Lin Yuan said to Zhang Yao: "If you stick to it for fifteen hours, our fleet will arrive. If necessary, you can ask for air support!"

Zhang Yao replied: "Understood!"

After turning off the communicator, Zhang Yao thought helplessly: "It's useless to ask for air support. The Russian army's offensive formation is very scattered, and there is a flat grassland outside the city. There is no danger to defend. Fifteen hours is not easy."

In fifteen hours, the life and death of the [-] people in the city and the two armies will be decided!

Lahasusu is located under the eyes of the Russian army, so the people in the city feel full of urgency. When they heard that the Russian army was overwhelming the border, they immediately came out of their homes to help the soldiers defend. Lin Yuan also knew that Lahasusu was easy to attack and difficult to defend. Moreover, there were not enough troops to garrison, so some of the captured Russian Enfield rifles were distributed to the people of Lahasusu, and they were trained.

The rifles of the Russian army weighed ten catties, so all the young and strong men were selected in the city. A total of more than 800 people were gathered, and all of them had climbed the city wall at this time.

Those who rely on the defense of the river will establish defensive positions on both sides of the river. This kind of defense is the most flexible. If only one side of the defensive position is established, then the river will also become a barrier for the enemy. The first battalion is on the Songhua River Defensive positions were built on the south and north banks of the .

Since there are no mountains on the south bank, the first battalion built several ditches, but Zhang Yao didn't have much hope for them, he knew that such ditches were not of much use, because the ditches were too long and their troops were too few. The Russian army with a superior force is likely to break through the line of defense at the weakest point of defense.

Sure enough, the Russian army adopted a full-line assault tactic. They lined up in front of the trench, so that they could always find a place where there was no battalion of soldiers defending. The soldiers of the first battalion looked at the Russian army in the distance and felt that they were the same as before. The Russian army was different. They no longer rushed forward foolishly, but a dozen people lined up in a triangle, and those on the flanks were responsible for shooting cover and slowly advancing towards the trench.

Zhang Yao didn't give the order to shoot immediately. He didn't give the order to shoot until the Russian army was only 50 meters away from the position. Almost at the same time as their guns fired, there was a "da da" sound from behind the Russian army. That was the sound of Maxim machine guns. The machine guns were positioned on the flanks of the assault formation. The bullets would not hit the Russian troops in the assault, but they could suppress the defenders in the trenches.

Zhang Yao and the others were so overwhelmed by the Russian machine guns that they couldn't lift their heads. Zhang Yao quickly ordered: all retreat to the bridgehead!

As soon as Zhang Yao and the others got up and ran back, they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Russian army. They immediately began to charge. The distance of 50 meters can be run by ordinary people in only seven seconds. The Russian army looked at the Chinese army retreating. The team, full of pride, thought that as long as they entered the trench, they could easily shoot them in the back, just like shooting fat and stupid wild ducks by the beautiful lake.

As soon as the Russian soldiers entered the trench, they heard a muffled "bang", and then the sound rang out one after another. It turned out that Zhang Yao and the others had planted bombs before retreating!

There was only one company of the attacking Russian army. The Russian company commander heard the sound was not loud, and knew that the explosion power of the bomb was not strong, so he didn't care, and hurriedly ordered: "Shoot at the yellow-skinned monkeys!"

But what he didn't expect was: accompanied by the sound of the explosion, a burst of red smoke filled the trench!The Russian soldiers in the smoke actually coughed heart-piercingly!

The Russian company commander wondered, thinking: "What the hell is this red smoke?" Suddenly, a muffled sound came from beside him, and a burst of red smoke enveloped him. It hurts the same, he suddenly understood, this is chili powder!

It turned out that the residents of Laha Susu City liked to eat chili peppers, so they stocked up a lot in the city. Zhang Yao and the others adapted to local conditions and wrapped chili powder on the outside of the explosives.

The Russian soldiers screamed and jumped out of the trenches. They didn't dare to run to their own positions, because there was a supervising team with machine guns, and deserters would be killed without mercy, so they rushed towards Zhang Yao's direction. They didn't He didn't want to attack Zhang Yao's troops, but just wanted to avoid the terrible red smoke.

Zhang Yao immediately gave the order to shoot, and the bullets were like raindrops, knocking down the Russian army rushing to the front. Seeing this, the company commander of the Russian army hurriedly ordered: Don't leave the trenches, walk inside the trenches, turn around from both sides!

The Russian army woke up like a dream, and then they made a detour to Zhang Yao's troops in the trenches, but there were packets of chili powder explosives along the way. Although the amount of these explosives was not large, it was more than enough to blow up a person's foot and a calf , the broken leg was stained with chili powder, excruciating pain, the injured Russian soldier screamed while coughing, and the uninjured Russian soldier was terrified!

The Russian troops behind saw that the forward troops captured the trenches, swarmed from behind, passed through the paprika, and rushed towards the bridgehead position. This bridge is only 100 meters long. If the Russian troops occupy the bridgehead, they can take advantage of the trend to cross the river , The soldiers approached the city of Laha Susu, and the Russian soldiers knew this, so they rushed to the bridgehead with enthusiasm.

When the Russian army was 100 meters away from the bridgehead, Zhang Yao gave the order to fire. The bridgehead is a semi-circular fortification with a parapet built with thick sandbags. The soldiers hid behind the parapet. The charging Russian soldiers fired!

A large number of Russian soldiers were knocked down. If the former Russian army would have turned around and ran away, but this time is different, there is a supervisory team behind them!So the Russian soldiers rushed to the bridgehead like crazy!

After leaving behind dozens of corpses, the Russian soldiers approached 40 meters away from the bridgehead. Zhang Yao picked up a grenade. When they reached 20 meters, Zhang Yao threw out the grenade, and the others also threw out the grenade.

These people have undergone strict training. All the grenades thrown exploded in the air. There was no dead space on the ground, and the screams of the Russian army were continuous.

Zhang Yao knew that he had to retreat, because they were too close to the Russian army, and the Russian army was covered in thick smoke, and his men couldn't see where to shoot.

Zhang Yao then ordered: "Retreat, blow up the bridge!"

Just three hours have passed since Lin Yuan issued the order to stick to it!
