In fact, when the Russian cavalry division attacked, it was discovered by the reconnaissance personnel of the People's Army, after all, the reconnaissance methods of the People's Army are far more advanced than those of the Russian army. Although all the helicopters and large drones that have crossed have been grounded because there is not much fuel left, the KPA still has fixed-wing aircraft and small drones available, fixed-wing aircraft are gasoline, and small drones are recharged.

At this time, the People's Army had built a simple airstrip at the Yakeshi base, but fortunately, the requirements for the runway for propeller aircraft were not high, and ordinary hard land could also be used. In this way, the four fixed-wing planes of the Northeast Theater also flew to Yakeshi and began to carry out aerial reconnaissance missions.

Of course, fixed-wing aircraft are not equipped with night vision equipment, so they can only reconnoiter during the day, and the task of night reconnaissance is carried out by small UAVs. Although the flight altitude of small UAVs is low, the air time is short, and the range of reconnaissance is also very limited, it is equipped with night vision equipment and used with warrior vehicles, which can also make up for the shortcomings of fixed-wing aircraft. And in the wars of this era, there are not many operations at night.

Therefore, after the establishment of the airfield on the front line, the entire battlefield was equivalent to one-way transparency to the KPA, and as soon as the cavalry division of the Russian army was dispatched, it was naturally discovered by the KPA and immediately notified to the cavalry troops.

At this time, the cavalry of the People's Army was also waiting for the Russian cavalry brigade to attack, so as to have a decisive battle with the Russian cavalry. Although the KPA was very successful in protecting the railway line during this time, it consumed a lot of energy from the men and horses, and it was difficult to get a good rest and recovery time, so if it dragged on, the cavalry troops would definitely not be able to stand it.

Now the main force of the cavalry of the Russian army has really been dispatched, and this is also the opportunity that the cavalry of the People's Army has been waiting for, so Zhao Lijun, deputy commander of the cavalry, decided to personally command the battle. First of all, it was immediately ordered that the two cavalry corps, as well as all the warrior car groups, should be assembled together, and the cavalry should also be fully rested so that they could fight a decisive battle with the Russian army.

Two days later, the KPA cavalry units assembled and rested, with a total of about 5,200 troops, and 4 warrior car squads, a total of 12 vehicles. At this time, a notice was received that the cavalry of the Russian army was marching towards the assembly point of the KPA, and according to the speed of the Russian army, it would arrive at the assembly point between 4 and 5 p.m.

The best choice for the KPA is, of course, to stay put, wait for the Russian army to arrive. However, Zhao Lijun believes that the commander of the Russian army will not be so stupid, and if the KPA does not move, the Russian army will never rush to the KPA's assembly area today, but will stop the camp when there is still some distance from the KPA, rest for a night and then march again. And even if the Russian army does not stop, it will be almost late when the two sides meet, if the Russian army is defeated, it can also use the cover of night to escape, although the People's Army can win, but it cannot inflict heavy damage on the Russian army.

So Zhao Lijun decided that the People's Army would also attack and meet the Russian army, and in this way, the time for the People's Army and the Russian army to meet would be about 12 noon earlier, which was a good time for the two sides to have a decisive battle at this time, because there was enough time to fight. Moreover, Zhao Lijun is confident about this battle, and there is no need to think about other aspects.

So the People's Army also immediately set off, and the four warrior car squads were also divided into two teams, and they outflanked them from the left and right sides in a roundabout way.

Although the Russian army does not have fixed-wing aircraft or drones, it still knows the importance of reconnoitering the enemy's situation, so it has always sent reconnaissance cavalry to pay attention to the dynamics of the KPA.

At 10:30 a.m., Zelensky received a report from the scouts, knowing that the KPA had already attacked, only about 45 kilometers away from him, and if the two sides continued to advance, then in a maximum of 1 hour, the two sides would meet. It was also known that the exact number of KPA troops was around 5,000 cavalry.

Zelensky was also a little surprised, he didn't expect the People's Army to dare to take the initiative to attack when its strength was far inferior to its own, and it was a frame to fight a decisive battle with himself. According to the report of the Mongolian army, there is now a flat steppe between the Russian army and the people's army, with a few small hills at most, and there are not many troops in ambush at all, and it is impossible for the people's army to ambush in advance, so the people's army is obviously planning to fight a decisive battle with itself with inferior forces.

But this is obviously out of line, Zelensky thought about it for a long time, and then reluctantly came up with a reason, that is, because of the victory in the early battle, the People's Army became arrogant, thinking that only such a force is enough to defeat the Russian army.

After figuring out the reason, Zelensky also sneered, then this time he will let the People's Army pay for the pain and make them pay for their arrogance.

However, Zelensky did not order to continue the march, but ordered the whole army to dismount and rest, eat, and set off again in 30 minutes.

Although Zelensky looks down on the People's Army in his heart, he is a qualified cavalry commander after all, since the Russian army attacked, today is the third day, and today from 6:30 in the morning to now, he has marched for more than 4 hours, although it cannot be said that people are sleepy and tired, but it does consume a lot of energy, so now take a 30-minute rest, you can relieve fatigue, and eat some dry food, adjust your state and wait for a while to fight with the People's Army. After all, if the fight starts after a while, you may not be able to eat for hours on end.

After the Russian army rested, the KPA moved forward for about 10 kilometers or so, and also stopped to rest, apparently adjusting its own state. At this time, the two sides were only about 20 kilometers apart, and a battle was inevitable.

Now that the KPA has also rested and has not fled, Zelensky has also decided to extend the rest time to 1 hour, not only to give himself a little more rest, but also to leave time for the KPA to rest.

An hour later, the Russian army first restarted, and about 15 minutes later, the KPA also set off again, and two large cavalry units were approaching each other.

After about 30 minutes, the distance between the two sides had narrowed to within 2,000 meters, and they could see each other on the flat and empty grassland.

The People's Army and the Russian army also stopped advancing at the same time, while Zelensky looked left and right, only to see that in the distance on the left and right, except for a few undulating hills, there was a boundless steppe, and there was no ambush at all, so Zelensky's heart was also relieved, and he immediately ordered the Russian army to start arranging battle formations and preparing for battle.

After all, the KPA is far less numerous than the Russian army, so it is necessary to arrange a queue ahead of the Russian army and begin to advance towards the Russian army. And the Russian army, although it was a few minutes late, was quickly arranged.

Zelensky nodded and muttered, "Yellow-skinned monkey, I'm going to let you taste defeat today." So he raised his hand in the air, waved it down, and shouted, "Forward." ”

Then Zelensky led his own guards, rode his horse and climbed a small hill, commanded, watched and commanded the battle on the mountain.

At this time, the speed of both sides was not fast, the war horse was walking slowly, and the distance between the two sides was nearly 2,000 meters at this time, and it was impossible to ride the horse now. But at this time, Zelensky's adjutant said: "Division commander, what do you think it is?"

Zelensky looked in the direction of his finger, only to see that on the left side of the Russian army, 5 or 6 black dots appeared, which were moving rapidly to this side, Zelensky raised the telescope and looked, it turned out to be a square thing, with 4 wheels under it, and a weapon similar to a machine gun was installed on the top. Zelensky knows that now in Germany, France and other countries, there is a vehicle called a car, which can be driven automatically by mechanical power, and this is something similar. And at this time, someone reminded Zelensky that such a vehicle also appeared on the right.

Zelensky also nodded, he already understood, it seems that this is the ambush of the People's Army, and the People's Army dares to fight a decisive battle with itself with obviously inferior forces, probably relying on these more than 10 cars. Of course, just these 10 or so cars are indeed a calm ambush.

And at this time, Zelensky also remembered, he heard the cavalry who participated in the war before say that the People's Army has a weapon that can drive autonomously, and has a machine gun installed, and the whole body is steel, and even bullets can't penetrate it, and the speed is so fast that even the war horse can't catch up. In the past, Zelensky thought it was nonsense, but now it seems to be true, obviously it is these more than 10 cars. However, Zelensky still does not believe how powerful this car is, and he does not believe that only more than 10 cars can reverse the disadvantage of the People's Army in terms of troops.

Of course, Zelensky will not underestimate the combat effectiveness of these more than 10 cars, after all, this is obviously the trump card of the People's Army, and there must be a reason for them, and the Russian army that participated in the war before may have exaggerated it, but it also shows that this kind of car must have considerable combat effectiveness, and now it is killed from the left and right wings, and he cannot be underestimated. However, Zelensky thought about it again, could this be the People's Army's trickery and use these more than 10 cars to attract the strength of the Russian army, so as to weaken the strength of the Russian army in a decisive battle with the People's Army, perhaps the People's Army is waiting for this opportunity.

Zelensky thought about it for a while, and immediately made a decision, and immediately ordered 2 battalions to be divided from the Russian army's brigade to attack the cars on the left and right. There are more than 550 people in a cavalry battalion of the Russian army, almost 100 cavalry attacking a car, Zelensky thinks that it is enough, and even if he loses the enemy, he can drag these cars for a while, and if it is really not good, he can also send troops to reinforce the battle according to the battle situation. Zelensky believes that sending up to 2 more battalions will be completely enough. However, the Russian army is divided into only 2 battalions, or even 4 battalions, and still has a clear advantage over the KPA.

With the shaking of the flag, I saw that two squads were immediately separated from the Russian brigade, and they obviously advanced their speed, and rushed towards the warrior vehicles that appeared from both sides.
