Chapter 1189 Battle of Blagoveshchensk
Blagoveshchensk, Tsarist Russian Defense Line.
Under the fierce attack of the Northern Division, Colonel Konovalov and Major General Smirnov realized that direct resistance was no longer possible. They quickly issued orders and led the remaining main forces to retreat to the city.
"Attention everyone," Konovalov ordered over the radio, "withdraw to the city immediately and prepare for street fighting."
Under the commander's order, the soldiers quickly packed up their equipment and retreated along the highway toward the city. Armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles provided cover in the rear, trying to stop the pursuit of the Northern Division.
"Hurry, keep the formation," Smirnov shouted in the team, "Don't panic, build a defense line immediately after entering the city."
During the retreat, the soldiers were nervous and hurried. Although they tried to maintain order, the pursuit of the Northern Division left them no time to pay attention.
"The city is ahead," an officer pointed to a group of buildings not far away, "Once we enter the city, we will immediately occupy advantageous terrain."
As the troops entered the city, Konovalov and Smirnov quickly organized the soldiers and began to build an outer defense line. They selected several key streets and buildings and ordered the soldiers to use the existing resources to build simple fortifications.
"Build roadblocks with sandbags and abandoned vehicles," Konovalov ordered, "and make sure every intersection has firepower coverage."
"The snipers went upstairs," Smirnov added, "using the high ground to block the enemy's attack."
In every corner of the city, soldiers were busy building defense lines. They used sandbags, wooden boards and abandoned vehicles to build roadblocks, trying to stop the attack of the Northern Division. Snipers quickly occupied the commanding heights, preparing for the upcoming battle.
"We must hold the city," Konovalov said to the officers around him, "This is our last line of defense."
"Yes, Colonel," the officer replied, "we will do everything in our power to stop the enemy."
Outside Blagoveshchensk, Northern Division Command Post.
After confirming that the main force of the enemy had withdrawn into the city, Division Commander Otto knew that the moment of decisive battle had arrived. He stood in front of the battle map, carefully analyzing the terrain of the city and the enemy's deployment, and prepared to issue the order for a general attack.
"Attention everyone," Otto gave orders to the troops via radio, "We are about to launch a general attack on the city of Blagoveshchensk."
He pointed to several key points on the map and deployed the battle plan in detail: "The first armored battalion will break into the city from the southeast, aiming at the enemy's command post."
&34;The 34nd Infantry Battalion will make a detour from the west to cut off the enemy's retreat and ensure that they cannot withdraw from the city. &;
&34;The 34rd Infantry Battalion is responsible for frontal attack, attracting enemy firepower and creating breakthrough opportunities for other troops. &;
"Sniper team," Otto continued to order, "occupy the commanding heights in the city and suppress the enemy's snipers and firing points."
"The engineering corps," he added, "is ready to clear any roadblocks and obstacles set up by the enemy and to ensure the speed of the armored advance."
In the command post, the staff quickly recorded Otto's orders and transmitted them to various combat units via radio. The entire command system operated in a tense and orderly rhythm.
"Attention all units," Otto finally emphasized, "There may be a large number of civilians in the city, so be careful when fighting and try to avoid accidental injuries."
As the order was issued, the troops of the Northern Division moved quickly. Armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles, led by their respective commanders, advanced toward the city along the predetermined route. Soldiers stood guard behind the vehicles, their weapons ready for any possible battle.
"Keep in formation," a company commander shouted in the team, "once you enter the city, attack immediately."
Outside the city, the troops of the Northern Division were like a taut bow, ready to launch a fatal attack at any time. The roar of armored vehicles and the engine sounds of infantry fighting vehicles intertwined, indicating that the battle was about to reach its final climax.
"Attention everyone," Otto gave another order via the radio, "Launch a general offensive and take Blagoveshchensk!"
As the order was issued, the troops of the Northland Division poured into the city like a torrent and launched a fierce attack on the enemy's last line of defense.
A neighborhood on the outskirts of Blagoveshchensk.
During the general offensive launched by the Northland Division, a squad of the 3rd Infantry Battalion entered a narrow neighborhood during its advance. The buildings here are densely packed, with tall brick and stone buildings on both sides of the street, complex terrain and limited vision.
"Keep alert," the squad commander whispered, "There may be an enemy ambush here."
The soldiers quickly dispersed and moved forward carefully along both sides of the street. Snipers stood guard at the rear of the team, while machine gunners cleared the way in front to ensure the safety of the team.
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the end of the street. The squad commander immediately signaled everyone to hide, and the soldiers quickly hid in the shelters on the street, holding their weapons tightly and waiting with bated breath.
"The enemy is coming," the sniper whispered over the radio, "about a squad, approaching us."
"Prepare for battle," the squad commander ordered, "wait until they are within range before firing."
Soon, the figures of Tsarist Russian soldiers appeared at the end of the street. They obviously did not expect to encounter the enemy here, and were hurriedly advancing along the street, trying to rush to the defense line in the urban area.
"Open fire!" At the squad commander's command, the soldiers of the Northern Division immediately emerged from their bunkers and unleashed a fierce fire.
The machine gunners opened fire first, and the bullets rained down on the enemy. The snipers aimed at the enemy commander and pulled the trigger accurately. The riflemen covered on both sides to ensure that no enemy could break through the defense line.
The Tsarist Russian soldiers were caught off guard by the sudden attack. Several soldiers in the front row fell to the ground, while the soldiers in the back hurriedly sought cover and tried to fight back.
"Quick, hide!" the enemy commander shouted, but his voice was quickly drowned out by the sound of gunfire.
In the fierce exchange of fire, the Northland Division's squad firmly suppressed the enemy's counterattack by taking advantage of the terrain. The machine gunners constantly adjusted the shooting angle to ensure that the fire covered the entire block. The snipers were on high alert to prevent the enemy from outflanking.
After several minutes of fierce fighting, the Russian soldiers realized that they could not break through the defense line of the Northern Division and began to retreat gradually. They used the buildings on both sides of the street as cover and tried to withdraw to the main defense line in the urban area.
"They are retreating," the sniper reported, "Should we pursue them?"
"No," the squad commander ordered decisively, "We continue to advance and ensure the safety of the block."
As the enemy retreated, the streets returned to a brief period of tranquility. The Northern Division's squad quickly cleared the battlefield, and after confirming that there were no remaining enemies, they continued to advance deeper into the city.
