He is already worried about whether he can take Ulaanbaatar, and if he delays here for too long, he is likely to fall into a situation where he will run out of ammunition and food.

If these hundreds of thousands of people are lost, under the current international situation, it can be said that Mao Qiu has lost the opportunity to act in the Far East.

And their leading generals are even more desperate, whether they are captured or fled back, the result will be long and miserable.

Two hours later, a brief battle damage report was delivered to General Vladimir.In today's battle, they lost more than 30,000 people.But it failed to break through even a line of defense of the Northern Army.This makes General Vladimir's face very ugly.

"Report to the commander! The statistics have come out. We have lost a total of more than 32,100 people, of which 28,900 people have not come off the battlefield, and more than 2,000 people have returned but have lost their combat effectiveness."

After a while, a staff officer placed a simple statistical report in Joseph's hands.

"This is not the way to go! We must take this place as soon as possible!"

Joseph was silent after reading the report.

Thirty thousand people have been lost in one day, and there is not much progress.

They simply cannot hold on for long. The longer they stay, the greater the loss, and the resources they bring do not allow them to stay too long. The Mongolian cavalry has already cut off their supply line completely, and the Cossack cavalry has already lost more than half.

"Commander! How about continuing to attack at night?"

Antono's face was a little dark, and his troops suffered a bit heavy losses today, but he also understood the urgency of the battle and suggested it.

"Lieutenant General Suslov, come on your troops tonight, we don't have much time, we must take this place."

Joseph nodded and turned his gaze to the other generals, finally staying on a short middle-aged man with a mustache.

"Yes! Your Excellency Commander!"

Suslov nodded. He also knew that the battle was urgent. Now everyone was a bomb on a rope. He didn't want to lose the chain.

That night, the Maoqiu Army continued its offensive. This time they changed to another army and touched it quietly without preparing for artillery fire, but they were still found when they touched more than 500 meters before the position.

For the Qing forces who were good at using night battles to break the situation, they were also good at preventing night attacks.

So the sneak attack turned into a strong attack, and the Maoqiu Army launched a charge.

It was not particularly clear in the darkness, but the intensive firepower of the Qing Dynasty enveloped them in all directions. When the flares rose into the night sky, it was the craziest time for the Qing troops...

Although under the cover of night, this group of soldiers rushed up more people than their colleagues during the day, and advanced farther, but they still couldn't break through this airtight three-dimensional firepower net.

At three o'clock in the morning, the attack was forced to stop, and there was no way that the night attack was discovered. Daqing’s firepower was too fierce. The preparations for this night attack were not particularly adequate, and ammunition was needed...

In the next few days, the Maoqiu Army took turns offensive day and night. They unscrupulously put in heavy troops, wanting to win the first line of defense in one fell swoop, and they rotated their troops to keep the offensive at a certain strength, as if they were strong. Never dry up in general.

Those officers also became severer. Once a soldier pushed back, he would be killed directly by the normal military method, in order to force the soldiers to move forward...

On the third day, all the bunkers were blown up, the Daqing machine gun had to relocate the firepower points, and there were already small hairball legions that broke into the middle position and started a hand-to-hand battle with the Tieliangbu but were still beaten back... …

"Tieliang, Ma Jinbu withdrew to the third line of defense, Ma Jinxu entered the second line of defense and met Lian Shunbu to fend off the enemy!"

Zuo Zongtang gave an order to give up the first line of defense based on the situation on the battlefield.

"Marshal, although we have more than 10,000 people, we can hold on for three or four days."

Tie Liang was a little unwilling. Although their two divisions combined lost more than 10,000 people, Maozi's loss was at least 80,000, and he could still continue.

And as the main defensive force, they only lost four thousand combat power.Still able to stick to it.

"The fortifications there are almost done, there is no need to continue to increase casualties, let alone don't hang a bone in front of Maozi, what do they do if they give up the attack? If they leave now, although they will suffer heavy losses, there is still hope to break through."

Zuo Zongtang smiled and did not change his mind because of Tie Liang's request.

"Yes! Handsome!"

Tie Liang was taken aback and then realized that if they didn't give any hope to Maozi, how could they have a reason to continue.

"Destroy the trenches before leaving, don't let them become obstacles to our counterattack."

Zuo Zongtang nodded and continued to command.

"Boom! Boom!"

After repelling a Maozi's offensive, a huge explosion sounded from the position of Qing Dynasty, and the soldiers had already evacuated to the rear through the traffic trench...

At the same time, more than 700 artillery pieces began to roar, tens of minutes to wipe out the first line of positions.

This is the result of adding up the artillery of the first and second line positions and being closer...

"What's the matter? How did they move their attacks on their positions?"

"The monkeys can't keep them, they retreated back!"

"Damn it! They actually blew up the first line of defense and didn't let us use those trenches!"

"These despicable guys! Too shameless! We will kill them all when we get in."

The situation of the Daqing position was quickly reported by the scouts, and the entire Maoqiu army was full of cheers.

They have already lost 100,000 people in order to break through this line of defense. If they can't take everyone down, they will collapse. Now people take the initiative to retreat and finally give them a little hope.

The generals of the Maoqiu Legion continued to urge the soldiers to attack. In their opinion, Da Qing was already shocked by their aura. If this kind of wheel warfare is used again, it will definitely continue to break through the second and third lines of defense.

Now they still have more than three hundred thousand troops, and they can still afford it.

Only after the initial excitement passed, the two sides began to fall into what they were at the beginning of the war, and as the defense line of the Qing Dynasty narrowed, the firepower of the Qing Dynasty became more concentrated, and the difficulty of the impact became more and more difficult.

The Hairball Legion still left behind the mountain of corpses before the show, without any progress.

The entire Ulaanbaatar defense line has become a huge meat grinder, constantly devouring the lives of the soldiers of the Hairball Legion...
