Xu Huaijin led two infantry divisions and was advancing at full speed towards Hohhot, and in less than three days, he had reached a place less than a hundred miles away from Hohhot. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]。 For more recent chapters, visit: (Just Love)
On the way to the march, the signal corpsman rode up on his war horse and said, "Commander, Commander Bagan sent you an urgent telegram. ”
Xu Huaijin took the telegram and said with a smile: "At this time, Lao Ba should have completed the blocking task and retreated to the vicinity of Hohhot, right?" ”
Xu Huaijin turned on the telegram, the smile on his face froze, instantly turned iron-blue, threw the telegram to the ground, and roared: "Lao Ba, Lao Ba!" You are a waste, what the hell, Lao Tzu is asking you to go to a sneak attack, not to let you fight a positional war, with more than 3,000 casualties, ****** is a complete loser! ”
Zhang Sihe was behind, hurriedly jumped down, picked up the telegram, and saw that it was written that the First Cavalry Division was sixty or seventy miles north of Hohhot, and attacked the Russian army several times in a row, and when the last sneak attack on the Russian artillery position, it was ambushed by the Russian army, and it was embarrassed, and the three brigades lost nearly 3,000 people, and now the army has begun to withdraw to Hohhot for repairs.
Zhang Sihe took a breath of cool air, three or four thousand people were injured, which made the First Cavalry Division absolutely broken, how did it happen, a cavalry commander and a cavalry division commander, two heavyweights led a cavalry division to fight a surprise battle, and they were beaten into this virtue by others!
Zhang Sihe asked in surprise: "Chief, how can this be?" Commander Bagen and Division Commander Wu Shixiang are both experienced and experienced enemies, how could they be ambushed and suffer such serious casualties? ”
Xu Huaijin said angrily: "Do you still need to say? It must be that they took advantage of the first two sneak attacks and relaxed their vigilance, what the hell, do they think that the 'elite' army of Tsarist Russia is the green battalion of the Qing Dynasty? That's the real 'fine' sharp! 'Bastard', old bastard, I can't spare him! ”
Zhang Sihe hurriedly asked, "Chief Executive, what should we do now?" ”
Xu Huaijin frowned tightly, it is really difficult to do it now, now after this station, the strength of the Chinese Revolutionary Army is even more stretched, three infantry divisions plus a cavalry division There are less than 50,000 people in total, and the three infantry divisions of the Russian army have almost no much damage to their combat strength except for the loss of an artillery regiment, and at the same time, after the cavalry has been rectified, there are still no less than 15,000 people, and the strength is far above itself, and the most important thing is that the Russian army won the first battle, which was originally low. The morale of the fans will be revived, and this is the most troublesome, a confident army and an unconfident army, its combat effectiveness is simply not comparable.
Xu Huaijin said in a deep voice: "Call back to Bagen immediately and ask them where the Russian infantry corps is now?" Call back now! ”
After a while, Zhang Sihe returned and replied: "Commander-in-chief, Commander Bagen has called back, now Commander Bagen has arrived less than forty miles away from Hohhot City, and is temporarily preparing to be stationed outside the city, waiting for the convergence with the main force, as for the Russian army, it is now less than fifty miles away from Hohhot City, but after a battle with the cavalry division, the three divisions of the Russian army are a little tired, and they are preparing to rest and arrive in Hohhot City, but I am afraid that it will not be until after noon tomorrow." ”
Xu Huaijin then asked: "Sihe, where are the remnants of the Tsarist cavalry now?" ”
Zhang Sihe said in a deep voice: "Commander, the remnants of the Tsarist cavalry are only thirty miles away from us, and in our southeast direction, they are now also moving towards the south of Hohhot. ”
Xu Huaijin unfolded the map and carefully watched the battle situation on the military map.
After a long time, Xu Huaijin said: "Sihe, immediately order the officers and men of the Seventh Division to be stationed in place, give up all our cars to the brothers of the Sixth Division, and order Liu Zeyu to lead the Sixth Division to advance towards the victory ditch at full speed, and before the Russian infantry corps arrives at the victory ditch, the victory ditch will be held to the death, and the net will be arranged, and we will teach them a lesson in the victory ditch!" “
Zhang Sihe was taken aback, and hurriedly replied: "Commander, how can this be done, the Russian army's 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry has just suffered a big loss in Deshenggou, and a cavalry division has been wiped out, with such a lesson from the past, a fool will not take this road again!" We are going to Deshenggou now, it is useless at all, and the infantry corps of the Russian army will definitely bypass the dangerous place of Deshenggou! ”
Xu Huaijin smiled coldly and said: "Sihe, you are wrong, the art of war: the combination of the right and the strange, the virtual and the real are born, judging from the ambush of Lao Ba this time, the combat level of the generals of this Tsarist Russia must not be low, you can think of it, he must also be able to think of it, since it can expect such a situation, and think that we will not set up an ambush again in the victory ditch, then they will definitely take this road, because this road is the closest to Hohhot, and it is also the safest in their hearts, we don't set up an ambush here, where to set up an ambush?" ”
Zhang Sihe glanced at Xu Huaijin suspiciously, he admired Xu Huaijin's mind very much, but whether he could be said by Xu Huaijin this time was a bit suspenseful.
Xu Huaijin smiled and said: "Sihe, go to give the order immediately, you must act quickly, after all, the Russian army is not far from Hohhot City, and the time is later, we won't be able to catch up!" ”
Zhang Sihe hurriedly stood up and said, "Yes, chief!" ”
Xu Huaijin lowered his head and once again fell on the map, his eyes fell on the south of Hohhot, where the remnants of the current Russian Cossack cavalry were all assembled, from the south of the city to Deshenggou, it was only fifty miles, such a distance, I was afraid that it would only take one or two hours to rush to Deshenggou.
Xu Huaijin continued: "Send a telegram to Zhang Xiaohuai, ordering the Second Brigade to arrange defenses at Stone Ridge in the west of the city, and once the Cossack cavalry supports the victory ditch, make every effort to block the Cossack cavalry!" ”
Xu Huaijin continued: "Order the Seventh Division to move towards the south side of the victory ditch, we will fight again under the city of Hohhot, the Russian army wants to Baoxi and the city of Haote, I am afraid that it is a dream!" ”
The distance between Deshenggou and Xu Huaijin and others is only fifty or sixty miles, and it only takes more than two hours to march with all their strength by car, and they have already arrived at Deshenggou.
Liu Zeyu has just acted as the commander of the Sixth Division, but he does not have a trace of joy as the commander of the division, because his division commander still does not know whether he is alive or dead, and this group of Russian devils must not give up with them!
As soon as Liu Zeyu arrived at the victory ditch, he immediately began to arrange defense and ambush, together with heavy artillery pulled up the mountains on both sides, heavy machine guns, submachine guns, grenadiers, all in echelon configuration, tens of thousands of revolutionary troops, soon formed an ambush circle, waiting for the Russian infantry division to go to the 'door'!
