"Yo West! The artillery did a very good job, they destroyed the Russian defense line with shells, inflicting a lot of losses on the Russians. Next, the infantry attack will be much easier. Senior General Obao Gong put down the binoculars in his hand, nodded repeatedly, and seemed satisfied with the heavy shelling of the artillery.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander. The Russians had a large number of artillery, and the Imperial Army would not be much worse than them. Over the years, the empire was vigorously developing its navy. However, in order to defeat the Russians, the army was also actively preparing for war. Major General Haruno Kubo, chief of staff of the Second Army of the Toyo Army, said.

"Wait until we defeat the Russians. Then, the empire will undoubtedly become a world-class power. We will also reap huge benefits from this. The Imperial Army will also be even stronger. "Senior General Obao Gong, a high-ranking official of the Eastern Army, all hope that the Eastern Empire can become a great power and become more powerful.

"Your Excellency Commander, this day will come soon." Major General Okubo Haruno looked confident.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "

The artillery of the Toyo Army was still firing fiercely.

This time, General Obao Gong ordered not to skimp on shells, and they naturally would not miss this good opportunity.

If it were 30 in peacetime, these Oriental artillerymen would have a hard time getting a chance to shoot live ammunition!

However, less than five minutes after the artillery of the Eastern Army began shelling, the Tsarist Imperial Army reacted quickly.

144155 mm heavy howitzers of the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Russian Army, opened heavy fire. Suppression of the artillery positions of the Orientals. At the same time, 105-mm light howitzer battalions of artillery regiments of 5 infantry divisions joined in. 120 105-mm light howitzers, which opened heavy fire and directly hit the field artillery positions of the Orientals located on the front line.

The Trinity field gun of the Toyo, because the firing range is not far. Therefore, it must be placed very close to the position. This made these Oriental field artillery positions the target of howitzers of the Russian army.

As for those 75-mm field guns, they did not participate, but kept silent.

Their target will be the infantry of the Orientals. Once the Orientals threw themselves into the infantry to attack, they would open fire fiercely and tear all these Oriental infantry to pieces with shells.

As soon as the artillery of the Russian army opened fire, it immediately caused great losses to the artillery of the Eastern Army.

Especially after several huge probe balloons rose from the positions of the Russian army, the observers used binoculars to see the artillery positions of the Oriental people clearly.

In the gondola under the balloon, the telegrapher informed his own artillery of the location of the artillery positions of the Orientals.

This is tantamount to letting the artillerymen of the Tsarist Army, as if they had eyes, directly smash shells on the artillery positions of the Orientals.

"Phew! Shout! "

The shell flew at high speed, and the body of the projectile and the air caused violent friction, making a sharp and piercing whistling sound, making people's eardrums feel as if they were about to be torn apart.

A large number of Oriental artillerymen changed their faces even more.

Many people covered their ears and fled everywhere.

However, the shells that fell hard left them with nowhere to hide.

"Boom! Rumble! "

The shells exploded on the artillery positions of the Orientals, creating a huge wave of air that blew those Oriental artillerymen away. The scattered shrapnel wantonly harvested the lives of these Eastern artillerymen. One gun after another, was destroyed in the explosion, and even the barrel was twisted, becoming piles of scrap iron.

Under the precise shelling of the artillery of the Russian Army, the artillery positions of the Eastern Army were covered by artillery fire one after another, and one after another were destroyed.

Not only the artillery was badly damaged, but the artillery of the Oriental also suffered heavy losses. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

Senior General Obo Gong and Major General Okubo Haruno used binoculars to see all this clearly.

The smiles on their faces immediately froze.

Originally, they thought that the fierce artillery fire of the Eastern Army could teach the Russians a hard lesson and make the Russians pay a huge price. But what they didn't expect was that it was they themselves who were taught the lesson!

"Your Excellency Commander, the Russians have a lot of heavy artillery. In particular, heavy artillery pieces of caliber of more than 100 mm reached hundreds. Our artillery is not their opponent at all! Major General Senba Taro's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of fear.

In the artillery battle between the two sides, the artillery of the Eastern Army was almost crushed.

Or rather, from the beginning, they did not take advantage of the slightest.

Of course, because the artillery fire of the Tsarist Army was so fierce that Major General Senba Taro believed that the Tsarist Army had much more heavy artillery.

This is mainly because the artillery of the Tsarist Russian Army is a tube retreat, and the rate of fire is at least two or three times higher than that of a retreated gun.

Under such circumstances, the Orientals naturally thought that the Russian army had much more heavy artillery.

"Yaga! Damn the Russians, how can they equip the troops with so many large-caliber heavy guns? "General Obao Gong is very humiliated. In his opinion, this is too bullying.

"Your Excellency Commander, our artillery and artillery have suffered heavy losses, and we cannot continue like this. Otherwise, the artillery would have been lost. Major General Okubo Haruno reminded.

General Obao Gong nodded 767 in succession.

"Order the artillery to immediately withdraw from the battle and go hidden!" Senior General Obao Gong ordered.

Of course, he did not feel sorry for the artillery, but for those artillery.

The artillery dies, and then it is enough to train. Although the population of the Eastern Empire could not be compared with that of the Tsarist Empire, the population was not very small. In addition, the Eastern Empire attached great importance to education, and the education level of the people was relatively high, and it was easy to train artillery.

But those artillery pieces were different, although the Trinity artillery was made by the Eastern Empire itself. However, the cost is not cheap. And the Krupp howitzer, even imported from the Germanic Empire, is all a treasure!

If the loss is too much, it will be enough to make General Obaogong's heart like blood.

After the order of Senior General Obogong was issued, the artillery of the Second Army of the Eastern Army urgently retreated, pulled a door of artillery to withdraw from the artillery position, withdrew from the battle, and went into hiding.

But even so, in the artillery battle, the Toyo Army lost more than a hundred artillery pieces. Among them, many are 120mm Krupp howitzers and 150mm Krupp howitzers, which can make General Obaogong feel distressed.

At the same time, it also made General Obaogong and others fully realize how powerful the firepower of the Tsarist Imperial Army was. How big the gap between them is.
