Chapter 1232: Danger is Imminent
Just when the two Cossack cavalry brigades were crippled by the Fifth Division, the rest of the Second Army Corps also began to launch a pursuit in the direction of the Russian retreat, even if the two cavalry brigades had a lot of troops, they were definitely not enough to defend the entire front, the Sixth Division and the Seventh Division all rushed to the northeast, and even the Eighth Division was about to rush out of the position and pursue in the distance.
However, at this time, a bad news arrived at the headquarters of the Second Army Corps, which made Gao Qi and Ke Yunlu feel heavy.
A group of war horses flew into the position of the Second Army in the midst of the battle and came to the headquarters.
"Report to the commander, emergency military situation ahead!"
Wu Xiuhe, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, entered the headquarters in a hurry, and reported immediately.
Gao Qi raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What's the situation?" ”
Wu Xiuhe said urgently: "Commander, chief of staff, the officers and men of our reconnaissance battalion have found a large number of traces of the Russian army one hundred and thirty miles away in the east, and it seems that there are at least five or six divisions of troops, it should be the main force of the right army of the Russian army......
"What? One hundred and thirty miles away? ”
Gao Qi and Ke Yunlu were shocked, and secretly said that the speed of the Russian army's right route army was so fast!
"When's the news?"
Ke Yunlu shouted.
"Chief of Staff, this is already the intelligence from last night, and now more than ten hours have passed, if the Russian army marches with all its might, I am afraid that it will only be no more than sixty miles away from us now......"
Sixty miles......
Sixty miles is not a long distance on the battlefield, for elite soldiers, one day and one night, it is very common to run hundreds of miles, even if the Russian army slows down, I am afraid that in one day and one night, the Russian army can definitely reach the vicinity of Qiqihar!
"Lao Gao, it seems that things are a little difficult to do......"
Ke Yunlu's face was very ugly, only one day was left for the second legion, which was definitely not enough to annihilate the Arsenevich legion, even if it was three days and three nights, it was difficult to encircle and annihilate the opponent, at most it was just a heavy blow, and now although the casualties of the Arsenyevich corps were not small, the main force was not damaged, except for the cavalry suffered heavy losses, the rest of the troops did not suffer much damage at all.
"Humph!"
Gao Qi's face was also solemn, and he said slowly: "No matter what, we must continue to pursue the Russian Arsenevich Corps and inflict as much damage on them as possible, we just need to ensure the safety of Qiqihar, and order the Eighth Division to immediately stop the pursuit, move towards the east of Qiqihar, build fortifications on the spot, and prepare to compete with the Russian army!" Order the artillery regiments of the 6th and 7th divisions, and act with the 8th division at the same time! What are you afraid of, we have our back to Qiqihar, at least in the near future we don't have to worry about food, I think it won't be long before our reinforcements arrive! Now what we have to do is to stabilize the defense and at the same time completely scare that Arsenevich, and beat them in fear! ”
Ke Yunlu smiled bitterly and replied: "What you said is light, Lao Gao, the people together are three legions and nine divisions, which is more than twice as many as ours!" We can't be careless at this time, the Arsenyevich corps has been defeated, they can't pose a strong threat to us at least in a short time, I think we must prepare in advance for the next big battle with the right army, after all, the opponent has six divisions, far superior to our army, we only put one division of troops in the east of Qiqihar, if once the remaining three divisions are entangled by the Arsenyevich corps, Qiqihar will be in danger, six divisions besiege one of our divisions, How long do you think we'll be able to hold out? ”
Gao Qi's heart was shocked, nodded slowly, and replied: "Yes, damn old Maozi, he came up so fast, this time we have met a strong enemy!" However, that kid Yan Chunyu can defeat the Russian army's left army with the first legion, then we can defeat their right army with the second legion, I have to sum it up, fuck, whoever gives it to whom, can't lose to Yan Chunyu, otherwise he will die of laughter in the future! ”
Ke Yunlu's face turned dark, wiped it, this kid is still competing with Yan Chunyu, will he die if he loses a game? What's more, Yan Chunyu is just a legion against two Russian legions, and it is also a narrow victory; Now the Second Army is facing the offensive of the three army corps of the Russian army, the difference in strength is too great, and the entire battlefield revolves around Qiqihar, and the space for maneuver on the battlefield is even smaller......
"Commander, you can't mess around, we are now one enemy and three, although the weapons are superior, but the difference in strength is huge, if you are not careful, then the army will be defeated and will die, at this time, it is not the time for us to be rash......"
"Don't worry, Lao Tzu knows! Fuck, I can't let that dog of Chunyu get ahead of me anyway! Immediately issued an order, ordering the Fifth Division to advance in a northeasterly direction, to keep an eye on the three divisions of Arsenevich's corps, not to let them join us with Lao Maozi's right army, and at the same time to be careful not to let them copy our rear road, and then besiege Qiqihar; ordered the 6th Division and the 7th Division to immediately build fortifications east of Qiqihar to withstand the Russian attack from the front; Order the 8th Division to retreat back, as a reserve, and at the same time protect Qiqihar, fuck, our cavalry is not there, if there is cavalry, it must make Lao Maozi look good! ”
Gao Qi shouted indignantly.
Now the Second Army only has a reconnaissance battalion, almost all of which have been released, to spy on the military situation, there is no fast mobile cavalry in hand, and it is also very aggrieved, if there is a cavalry division in hand, the current battle situation will definitely not be so passive, after all, the Russian army does not have a heavy machine gun in its hand, and it is simply unable to cope with the rapid assault of the cavalry!
However, in any case, due to the rapid approach of the Right Army, the Second Army Corps still had some tricks, which led to the Arsenevich Corps finally escaping this catastrophe, and if it was really two or three days late, the Arsenevich Corps would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Arsenevich led three divisions in one breath and ran down in the northeast direction for more than 30 miles before stopping, and in the rear, the pursuing forces of the Chinese People's Army had already withdrawn.
Arsenevich let out a long breath, it is finally safe, as long as his own army can preserve its combat strength, then it is a victory, as long as the right army arrives, when the time comes, it will be the end of the Chinese People's Army!
"Someone, immediately send scouts to the east to probe the military situation and see where our reinforcements are now! Three divisions were stationed on the spot for rest! ”
