A heavy rain after 3 o'clock made the gunfire gradually become sparse, and the appearance of heavy rain made the battle difficult, plus the Russian army had escaped to a certain distance, and if it continued like this, it would be dangerous, so the Northwest Army stopped pursuing.

At the end of the heavy rain, the sun rose, making the entire grassland extraordinarily fresh, and even in places that people can't see, fungi and plants are growing rapidly, but for the Russian army, it is a wolf and frustration, soaked in the heavy rain for a few hours, some people who are in poor health, directly sick and cold, even if they are strong, they can't collapse into an army, and it is easy to simply station down 35 kilometers away from the original defense line, but the losses are unbearable for all the Russian high-level leaders.

Not to mention that Kyakhta was surrounded by 12,000 people, and Kyakhta itself did not have so many people, thousands of people, but some soldiers ran to the city of Kyakhta in the chaos, so that Kyakhta had more troops, but because of the collapse of the defense line, Kyakhta had no way to take care of it, if in a short period of time, if there were no large number of reinforcements, Kyakhta was breached, I am afraid it was only a matter of time.

Although Kyakhta is one of the important towns of the Russian army in Siberia, it is also a castle with a masonry structure, but it is not at the fortress level after all, plus the artillery battle between the northwest, the artillery in its city does not exceed 50, and there is almost no large-caliber artillery, while the northwest side, but has more than 20 203 guns, which is a sharp weapon for siege, after this battle, no one will doubt the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army, as long as the city is attacked with all its strength, Kyakhta will definitely not last 3 days, even if it is not full strength, just siege and shelling, Kyakhta is also difficult to hold out for 15 days.

In 15 days, it is almost impossible to wait for reinforcements for a huge logistics line, so the Russian army, which has not yet been killed, has also been on the list of casualties, and it is a huge piece.

In fact, this time, it doesn't matter what is big or not, this night, the losses of the Russian army are huge, and the other troops, as far as they know, have direct losses of about 100,000 people, I don't know how many were killed, and how many were captured, Samsolov is now counting, and the number of people they have collected is only a little more than 30,000, which also adds thousands of people in the death battalion.

The 210,000 army came with great ambition, but it was such a fate, which made Samsolov unacceptable, there is no complete defeat yet, he still has tens of thousands of people, but most of the heavy equipment has been lost, and even some soldiers have lost their guns, bullets and other things are extremely lacking, and the possibility of attacking has been lost, not to mention, God knows, the Northwest Army will not pursue, those elusive soldiers, let the Russian army completely chill.

Samsolov was already desperate, and after instructing his division commanders to lead the team and retreat to Chita, he himself walked into a small forest, and his division commanders and attendants already understood what he was doing, but they could not persuade him, and watched him, repeating what might happen in a few years, and committed suicide by drinking bullets.

A gunshot sounded so crisp in the early morning that when the attendant took out his body, the retreat began, and Samsolov became the first high-ranking Russian officer to die in the northwest, a general.

Of course, this is just the beginning, not the end, according to the statistics of the last battlefield in the northwest, in this battle, a total of more than 37,000 Russian troops were killed, almost 50,000 people were captured, many people were still wounded, and there may be thousands of seriously injured, the reason why the Russian army counted 100,000 is because 20,000 people ran away directly and were scattered in the vast grassland, even in the northwest, there was no way to pursue and capture.

But the soldiers who fled to the grassland, and even the soldiers who had lost their way, really felt the horror of the grassland, the heavy rain in the next few days, the harsh and changeable environment on the grassland, all became huge killers, some died on the grassland, the number of these people is still quite a lot, maybe about five or six thousand, some of them became deserters, they all sneaked back, and later fled back to Chita, only about 6,000 people.

In just one night, the frontal attack on the Russian army's heavy corps, defeated 150,000 troops, killed and captured tens of thousands, completely defeated the main force of the Russian army, surrounded Kyakhta, Cai Ye has basically achieved the strategic goal, theoretically annihilated the Russian army's heavy group, captured a large number of Russian troops, captured a large amount of equipment, and laid a good situation for the trading city.

After coming to the front line for such a long time, under the investigation of the special forces, the situation of buying and selling the city is fully grasped, the city defense, facilities, the number of soldiers, and even the equipment, even if the number of soldiers in the buying and selling city has increased, but how many terrible soldiers are there who break their courage. The small Kyakhta is crowded with more than 10,000 Russian troops, which are basically all vegetables, and with a little effort, they can be won, and this is the result of this battle.

The special forces have also retreated, although it is said that they can continue to pursue the Russian army, and they can get more results, but the danger is also increasing, not only the danger brought by the enemy, but also the danger of the natural environment of the grassland itself, the special forces are the king of soldiers, and they also have a strong ability to survive in the wild, but under the changeable natural conditions, there is also considerable danger, weighing again and again, Cai Ye feels that the Russian army that is not strong in combat effectiveness in exchange for precious special forces is definitely not a good choice, it may be 1 to 500, not even 1000.

The staff officers and officers below are still counting the specific casualties and captures, Cai Yi waited quietly, and then quickly transported the results of the battle and some pictures and captures back to Baotou, a few months, and now between Baotou and the trading city, in addition to the car, there are also some small airships, specially used for more urgent transmission, because the small airship has enough power, the speed is above, even faster than the large airship, Baotou to the trading city of more than 1700 kilometers distance, a little more than a day.

The situation of this big war, Baotou is also waiting, although I believe in the command level of Cai Yi and others, but this means that the 120,000 people duel, and from defense to offense, in case there is a mistake, it will be a big trouble, even if it wins, but the casualties are too large, it will not work.

The first army, the second army, can be said to be the most elite army in Baotou, but also the seed of future military expansion, no matter what, Baotou is a region, even if it has a population of hundreds of millions, but there is no cohesion like the country, the foundation is also slightly thinner, if the loss is really too great, not to mention the gains, it will also trigger a series of chain reactions.

Even Yang Yuanzhao didn't sleep all night, waiting for the battle report, until more than five o'clock in the morning, after receiving Cai Yi's victory report, he simply rested, at ten o'clock in the morning, the initial statistical results came out, Yang Yuanzhao, who was holding the telegram, directly skipped it, the harvest results, the defeat of the Russian army is already a given, the key is the loss.

Although the Northwest Army has been established for a short time, it is tightly organized, and after absorbing some experience from later generations of troops, the Northwest Army is extremely powerful in the low-level non-commissioned officer class, and generally does not choose to directly select soldiers from among them.

In this sense, even if the Northwest Army had just been established, it was even more systematic and institutionalized than the armies of the European powers in terms of control and rigor at the grassroots level.

Cleaning up the battlefield and cleaning up the results is only one aspect after the war, counting the casualties and treating the wounded is the most important thing, in the results reported at 10 o'clock, of course, the casualty list was counted, the casualty figure was four digits at the beginning, Yang Yuanzhao, who was worried, breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not 5000, it was acceptable, Yang Yuanzhao, who controlled the entire Baotou, was no longer the civilian-born team engineer before, 4 years of upper life, plus shouldering the heavy responsibility of an organization, made his heart hard, As long as it is a war, it is impossible to have no casualties, even against a weak unit like the Beiyang Army, they have casualties, let alone the regular army of the Russian army.

The casualties of the First Army were 1,790, of which 373 were killed, 273 were seriously wounded, more than 100 were seriously wounded, possibly seriously injured or disabled, and the rest were lightly wounded. Such losses, in the battle of hundreds of thousands, can be said to be insignificant, and it is unceremonious to say that in this battle, the northwest won a complete victory.

After reading the report, Yang Yuanzhao instructed the following, make preparations, and wait for tomorrow, after the information transported back from the front line of the trading city arrives, it will start to build a nationwide and even global momentum, since it has torn its face with Russia, and it has been publicized once before, then this time, it will be a big one, and completely let all countries in the world see the ability of the northwest, and if they really want to interfere in the northwest, they must also weigh it.

The secretary listened respectfully to Yang Yuanzhao's instructions, and after listening, he was about to leave, Yang Yuanzhao asked casually as if he suddenly thought of something: "What is the total number of deaths of the Northwest Army in the Northwest Army in the trading city now?" ”

The secretary thought for a moment and said, "There were 1,083 deaths before, and now, 1,456 people!" ”

More than 1,000 people, Yang Yuanzhao was stunned for a while, he knew that any rise could not be without blood behind him, the war against Russia was just the beginning, and then, I don't know how many Chinese sons and daughters would throw their heads and spill blood for China, and they wanted to do something for them, Yang Yuanzhao made a decision in his heart, and calmly instructed the secretary: "Invite Mayor Liu over!" ”

After the secretary replied respectfully, he went out, but Yang Yuanzhao looked out the window with a stunned expression. R1152
