Chapter 1229: Temporarily Avoiding the Edge

In the face of ferocious artillery fire and heavy machine gun fire, the two cavalry brigades were unwilling to retreat, and under the command of the two brigade commanders, they continued to attack the artillery positions of the Second Army Corps, but it was not easy to rush over

In the space of nearly an hour, the two cavalry brigades launched four or five charges one after another, all of which were in vain and suffered heavy casualties, and the artillery position of the Chinese People's Army was like a huge hedgehog, making people have nowhere to put their mouths, and if they bite down, they will be covered with blood

In an hour, the casualties of the two Cossack cavalry brigades were close to 3,000 men, and the unruly Cossack cavalry finally confessed in the face of artillery, especially heavy machine gun fire, not to mention the cavalry that was now trembling, even the two brigade commanders were helpless, and they were terrified by the heavy machine guns

Fall back

Oleg's face was pale, and finally gave the order to retreat with difficulty, and the Cossack cavalry, which had long been unable to hold on, got the order, turned around and ran, not only the 28th Cavalry Brigade, but also the 39th Cavalry Brigade, which suffered more heavy casualties, also began to retreat, all of them had no intention of fighting, for fear of throwing their lives on the position.

It's a pity that now almost all the cavalry of the Second Army Corps has stayed in Mobei, and if they follow the side of the Second Army Corps, when the Cossack cavalry is frightened, they will be killed in one go, and I am afraid that the two cavalry brigades of the Russian army will be completely abolished.

Arsheriv and Oleg ran back to the positions of the Russian army in disarray, and returned to Arsenevich.

Arsheriv, Oleg, you two shit, you can't do anything, these are two cavalry brigades, 10,000 cavalry, you can't even get close to other people's positions, is there a more stupid general in the world?

Arsenevich was furious and roared wildly at the two men.

It's no wonder that Arsenevich was furious, more than 1,000 people died in the battlefield of the two cavalry brigades, 2,000 wounded of varying degrees, and even a large number of horses fell into the hands of others, this battle was too bad, resulting in the direct combat attrition of more than one-third of the two cavalry brigades, and the most important thing was a heavy blow to the hearts of the cavalry, the current Cossack cavalry, I am afraid that there is no longer the courage to charge the Chinese People's Army in the face of heavy machine guns, the opponent's heavy machine gun fire is too fierce, That's a specialized killing machine

General, it's no wonder that we are not amazed, the heavy machine gun fire on the position of the Chinese People's Army is too fierce, completely beyond our expectations, the front of the enemy's artillery position is blocked by heavy machine gun fire, not to mention the cavalry, even a bird can not fly in

Oleg replied with a sad face.

Bastard, of course I know that the heavy machine gun fire is powerful, don't you know, who in the world doesn't know that the British, French and Spanish coalition forces are so powerful, 100,000 troops, don't they all suffer a big loss under the heavy machine guns of the Chinese People's Army, do you think you are even more powerful than the British Royal Cavalry Corps

Arsenevich was so angry that he was going crazy, since you encountered powerful heavy machine gun fire, it means that people have already prepared, it is impossible to do it, then immediately retreat back to save strength, where are you still stupidly rushing up to death

Klitschko, who was on the side, said with a wry smile: Arsenevich, it's too late to say this, the most important thing for us at the moment is to do everything we can to hold out until the arrival of the Right Army

Arsenevich's face was stunned, and he said in a sullen voice: It is not easy to hold on until the arrival of the Right Route Army, but I am afraid that it will take three or four days, and the main force of the Right Route Army will only come back here, with the current offensive posture of the Chinese People's Army, we will be able to support it in the positional battle

Klitschko said in a deep voice: Since we can't guarantee that we can withstand the enemy's attack in the positional battle, then why don't we take a step back and give an order immediately, the army retreats to the rear, and the cavalry is cut off, blocking the pursuit of the Chinese People's Army, and not fighting with them, I think as long as we hide, the Chinese People's Army can't chase us everywhere After all, they still have to protect Qiqihar, and they will definitely not stay away from Qiqihar, otherwise, as soon as the main force of the Right Route Army arrives, it will not take a day to let Qiqihar change hands with a thunderous momentum

Arsenevich's heart moved, Klitschko was right, since we can't defeat the Chinese People's Army, then we can temporarily avoid the edge of the Chinese People's Army, if you want to catch up with us, it will leave a chance for our cavalry to raid, and Qiqihar will also leave hidden dangers, if you don't chase, one of your own legions, at least as stable as Mount Tai, don't worry about the vitality of the big injury.

Klitschko, what you say makes sense, if you can't beat us, we'll run the fuck, it's just too embarrassing to do this, and in less than three days, we're going to be forced to retreat, and if it gets out, we won't be laughed at

Arsenevich said helplessly.

Klitschko smiled bitterly and said: General, this is already good, look at how Valerian led six divisions, he was still beaten by the Chinese People's Army and couldn't find the north, and the troops were lost, and now the left army has been greatly injured, that is a shame, at least, we can also ensure that the strength will not be seriously damaged

Now the news of the defeat of the Left Army has long been spread to the Arsenevich Corps, all the senior generals are laughing at Valeryn's uselessness, but laughing, they are also worried about how to fight the next battle, Valerian is different from Arsenevich, Arsenevich is a veteran in the army, far away ten years ago, in the Crimean War, he has begun to lead a single corps, and he will retire from active service in two or three years, but Valerian is the backbone of the Russian army's reputation in recent years, he is in the prime of life, his combat ability is outstanding in the entire Russian army, even he is not an opponent, who else can withstand the attack of the Chinese People's Army.

However, now Arsenevich doesn't care so much, as long as there is Valerian in front of him, and there are people in front of him to attract firepower, so he doesn't have to be so entangled.

Arsheriv, Oleg, the two of you lead the cavalry to break in the rear, cover the three divisions of the corps to retreat back, as long as the Chinese People's Army attacks, give me a fierce blow, absolutely not let them follow the pursuit of Klitschko, pass the order, the three divisions are ready to retreat to the northeast in the early hours of tomorrow morning, to avoid the fierce fire of the Chinese People's Army

Arsenevich now had to give the order to retreat in order to preserve his strength.

To be continued.
