"Beautiful job!" Ye Qiu, who had been monitoring the Gulf fleet on the west coast of Amur Bay and covering the left wing of the battlefield, applauding, slapped.

On the high ground, they could easily see the situation of the entire battlefield. Although they could only feel the movement changes of the firepower line in the war from afar, judging from the movement of the firepower line, the Volunteers had already taken the initiative in the battlefield at this moment.

"Look, the bright light belt just now was composed of the Tsarist Russian defenders on the village wall firing, and the light belt that continued to press up against the opposite side was the First Division..."

"The fire of counterattack, the light of torches, and the light generated by the explosion of shells, will form a bright belt when you look far away. Compared with the darkness around you, how obvious it is..."

"The ray of light belt that had just moved suddenly stopped, which shows that the attack of the First Division was frustrated. At that time, I was so anxious that my palms were sweating. I really thought Chu Zhao and the others would be in a slump. After all, these Rakshasa ghosts are not that easy to deal with..."

"Fortunately they held on. Chu Zhao must have suffered heavy losses this time, so he will not be able to fight half of it!"

Ye Qiu was right. The First Division grabbed the most brutal first battle, and naturally achieved the largest casualty rate. In the entire battle, the First Division had more than 11,000 people died in battle, and seriously injured more than 1,500 retired soldiers, with a total of more than 1,500 soldiers. The combat loss rate reached 50%, and almost half of the remaining soldiers were injured.

This battle directly destroyed the three battalions, and even reached the point where they could not be newly formed. For example, the Third Battalion of the First Regiment, all senior officers from the battalion commander to the company commander were killed, so that later people could not find officers if they wanted to restore the system of the Third Battalion.

Originally, the Volunteer Army Headquarters wanted to draw senior officers from other units to reorganize the basic command system of the Third Battalion, but they could not directly promote the battalion commander from the remaining platoon leader of the Third Battalion! After all, the Chinese army is a professional army, and officers above the company level must receive training from the military academy.

However, this proposal was strongly opposed by Xiang Shaolong. At this time, as a man in the martial arts world, the plot of absolute worship of heroes began to cause trouble.

"The Third Battalion, from then on, is given the name of the Blood Battalion... If you want to rebuild the Third Battalion, the first battalion commander and officers at all levels after the reconstruction must be selected from the surviving brothers. What's the matter with other troops?"

"But General! The 500-strong team in the Third Battalion is now only 180 people left, and there is no senior officer left, all of whom are at the level of platoon leader and squad leader... How can I rebuild this!"

The staff almost said the abolition of the establishment, but he did not dare. He knew that if he dared to propose to abolish the establishment of the Third Battalion, he would definitely be killed by the wounded soldiers when he went out.

Master Long's eyes were filled with tears, "One hundred and eight, just one hundred and eight, pick the clever ones from me, I will take them to the military academy. Even if the reconstruction is slower, the military spirit of the Blood Camp must be retained, and their bones cannot be replaced!"

The final reconstruction of the Blood Camp took three years, as Xiang Shaolong said. In three years, 180 people adhered to the system of a battalion, waiting for the officers they trained to take their own positions.

It is precisely because of this persistence that the military spirit of the Blood Camp has not dispersed for a century. In the Far East, the Blood Camp of the First Division is the most powerful unit in combat. Moreover, this unit is very unique and will never accept defensive tasks. It will always be just an attack! Attack! Attack again.

The Blood Camp is just a microcosm of the First Division. Everything is as Xiang Shaolong said that military soul is caused by death. Through a large number of casualties and the most cruel wars, those who survived will naturally have their own military personality, which is the military soul.

The first most difficult battle a unit fought since its establishment. As long as it survives, the war will give the unit a personality, and this personality will be passed down from generation to generation to become the blood of the army.

"The First Division finally survived! There are gains and losses, and although there are heavy casualties, they have received the glory of a strong army, which will accompany them forever..."

Ye Qiu was very moved, Tian Erdan beside him said enviously, "It's so satisfying! They are so happy. I don't know if we have the opportunity to fight a war. Judging from their speed of advancement, maybe we don't have to wait until tomorrow morning to end the battle..."

"Not that simple!" Ye Qiu shook his head, "Don't think that if the first line of defense is broken, we will be smooth sailing. Behind it is cruel street fighting, chaos fighting, and melee between the enemy and the enemy. The most test moment has just begun!"

Ye Qiu was right. From this perspective, looking down from a high point, you can see the entire peninsula and two bays in Vladivostok city.

You can say that Vladivostok in this era is a military fortress, because everyone living here is full of soldiers, real Russian civilians, and immigrants have not yet migrated on a large scale, and all economic activities here serve the military.

Behind a wooden village wall on the northmost side are scattered fortresses, warehouses, horse farms, military camps, training grounds, and docks... Each building can become an independent defensive fortress, and almost every window may shoot enemy bullets.

From this point of view, Vladivostok is a huge military fortress. However, this peninsula was prepared by the Russians to build it into the largest prosperous city in the Far East.

In the early urban design, people have reserved various civil facilities, such as churches, hospitals, schools, residential areas, factories, mills and even farms.

No immigrants are coming now, which does not mean that there will be no immigrants in the future. Therefore, when urban planning is first started, those places must be left out, and some areas have even started to expand.

In the mind of the Tsar, the city will have at least a population of 100,000 in the next ten years. This can be said to be the limit that cities can accommodate in the cold Far East.

Because of this, Vladivostok has very prominent urban characteristics. The peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides, and even several isolated islands on the sea can be used as construction land for urban areas. It is only connected to the mainland in the north, which is the area with the worst casualties just now.

After breaking through the first village wall, the form of war immediately changed from positional war to urban street fighting. The volunteer soldiers rushing forward suddenly found that there was actually an empty space behind the village wall.

A huge battlefield of nearly 60 square kilometers was suddenly presented to everyone. Not to mention the 40,000 volunteers fighting, even if there are 40,000 more people, this huge urban area can be installed.

"Mom, I didn't expect it to be quite big behind it! Look, these grandsons are still farming! There is actually a farmland over there!"

"Don't be stupid, speed up the pursuit and drive all these Rakshasa ghosts into the sea!"
