Chapter 1268: The End of the Road
Jangovich's heart was bitter for a while, it seems that the first line of Shuangchengzi really can't hold it this time, thousands of cavalry launched a surprise attack from the north and south sides, and the Russian army only left two regiments of troops on the positions on the north and south sides, and the defense was empty when the cavalry rushed in, how could it be held?
Once the two positions fall, will the infantry of the Chinese People's Army not swarm behind? No matter how powerful the two artillery regiments in their hands are, they can't defend the entire front!
Jangovich paced back and forth in the tent, now he can't hesitate, his defense line is broken, then once the infantry division of the Chinese People's Army breaks through the river defense, it will launch an attack from north to south, driving himself and Valerian to the south, when the time comes, all the Russian troops will be squeezed into a small space in the southernmost part of Jiangdong, the east and south are the sea, the north and west are the main force of the Chinese People's Army, that will be the end of the annihilation of the whole army, that is, to put wings on the soldiers, There is absolutely no escape from the encirclement of the Chinese People's Army!
"Someone, immediately report to General Valerian that the defense line of the twin cities is about to be broken, and ask General Valerian to lead the main force to retreat at full speed in the northeast direction, withdraw to Boli City as quickly as possible and enter Siberia!"
Jangovich suddenly stopped and shouted at the military staff officer.
The military staff officer was stunned for a moment and asked, "Retreat?" General, let General Valerian retreat in a northeasterly direction? ”
"Nonsense! Didn't hear clearly? Immediately send cavalry to send a message to General Valerian, no matter how late it is, I am afraid that all of our more than 40,000 people will be annihilated here! Damn, how did the Chinese People's Army come up so fast? How can we break through our river defense so quickly! ”
Jangovich secretly regretted that he had known that this was the case, and he and Valerian would not have waved their troops south, just occupying a Vladivostok, without the support of the main forces of the domestic or Right Route Army, and in the case of isolation, the Right Route Army would have only a dead end!
The military staff officer hurriedly agreed, turned around and went down to deploy the order.
Jangovich's heart was still unsure, and he turned around and shouted: "Come on! ”
Another military staff officer ran in.
"Immediately give the order, the artillery position retreats four kilometers to the rear, once the Chinese People's Army wants to forcibly cross the river to fight, then take advantage of their unstable foothold, launch an artillery bombardment with all their might, we must give them a head start!"
Jangovic shouted.
Under the mobilization of Jangovich, all the positions of the Russian army on the northern front were mobilized, ready to deal with the next fierce battle.
Jangovic secretly prayed in his heart that whether he could successfully get out of it would depend on this battle......
In the south, Valerian was still in a standoff with two infantry divisions of the Chinese People's Army, and the two sides had already fought two rounds of fighting, and the shells were fired indefinitely, completely blasting the ice on both sides of the Ussuri River.
The artillery firepower of the Russian army is now far inferior to that of the Chinese People's Army, and it can only barely support it, but fortunately, with the Ussuri River as a barrier, as long as Valerian can ensure that the Chinese People's Army cannot complete the crossing of the river, it will be his own victory.
Just as Valery gritted his teeth and insisted, Jangovich's cavalry arrived at Valerian's position.
"Report, General Valerian, I have come on the orders of General Jangovich to deliver information!"
Valerian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the situation?" What was the situation on the Northern Front? ”
"General Valerian, the Chinese People's Army has attracted all our artillery forces to the opposite bank of the town of Datuchuan with the help of powerful artillery firepower, and then the defense on the north and south sides is empty, the Chinese People's Army has broken through our river defenses by using cavalry to force a surprise attack, General Jangovich ordered his subordinates to inform you to immediately retreat to the northeast, so as not to be surrounded by the Chinese People's Army in Vladivostok for a generation......"
"Ah......h
Valerian was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Jangovich's defense line would be broken through by the Chinese People's Army so quickly! Think about it, too, the Chinese People's Army is strong, the combat power is strong, when attacking with all its might, it is easy to tear a hole in Jangovic's defense line, if there is no cavalry to participate in the battle, the positions on the north and south sides can barely hold on, and now the cavalry is participating in the battle, and then there is the cover of the heavy machine gun battalion, it is easy to break through the position......
It's just that the river defense of Shuangchengzi is no longer guaranteed, and Jangovic will not be the opponent of the Chinese People's Army, and when the time comes, the two Chinese People's Army will cross the Ussuri River and completely block their own retreat, and then they will really become the turtle in the urn.
The corners of Valerian's mouth twitched, now it is very head-scratching, the defeat of the Russian army is irreversible, the only question is whether his left army can leave Jiangdong alive and return to Siberia!
"Immediately send an order, order the Russian troops stationed in Vladivostok to immediately abandon Vladivostok, and the army immediately retreat in the northeast direction, and order all units to hold their positions and prepare to evacuate their positions tomorrow morning to buy time for the withdrawal of the Russian army in Vladivostok!"
Valerian didn't dare to take risks after all, and quickly retreated, even if he could withstand the attack of the Chinese People's Army on the opposite side, but could he withstand the siege launched by the Chinese People's Army from the west and the north? Rather than struggle unnecessarily, it is better to retreat immediately, perhaps these more than 40,000 people can either leave China and return to Tsarist Russia, which is much better than taking the whole army of Manhorov and Arsenyevich prisoner?
The forces of the southern and northern fronts of the Russian army were all mobilized, but the Chinese People's Army was not idle at this time!
The river defense of the Russian army on the northern front was broken through, and four or five cavalry regiments of the Huaxia cavalry began to launch a surprise attack on the main positions of the Russian army on the northern front on the other side of the Datui River!
However, the cavalry on the southern front was closer, and soon, they rushed to the opposite bank of the Da Belly River and launched an attack on the infantry of the Russian army.
Fortunately, the Russian infantry was able to barely withstand the assault of 2,000 cavalry, although it was still left and right, but the cavalry could not tear through the infantry defense line of the Russian army.
However, the fact that two cavalry regiments could not tear through the defensive line did not mean that four or five cavalry regiments could not tear through the defensive line.
The infantry of the Russian army is now in a state of stalemate with Su Changyu's cavalry, and behind, Dong Tinghe led three cavalry regiments to kill again!
This time, Dong Tinghe's target was not aimed at the Russian infantry, but on the artillery positions of the Russian army!
Four thousand cavalry rushed towards the artillery positions of the Russian army at a gallop.
Now the artillery position is guarded by only one infantry regiment, where can it withstand the attack of three cavalry regiments? The edifice will fall!
