Chapter 1221: The Prelude to the Decisive Battle

When Arsenyevich got the news, he had already received the news, first the cavalry sent by Kuztsov brought news to Manhorov, saying that a large number of Chinese People's Army troops had appeared in Qiqihar and that a brigade of troops had already been deployed under the city of Qiqihar and could attack at any time.

Manhorov was dumbfounded at that time, originally he thought that only Arsenivich's corps could appear in Qiqihar at this time, but what he didn't expect was that Arsenyevich did not arrive in Qiqihar, but the Chinese People's Army appeared here

No is possible, no matter how impossible

Manhorov roared angrily: Now the 1st and 3rd Corps have just crossed the Ussuri River and are still in a state of assembly; Under our persecution, the Chinese People's Army of the Seventh Army has retreated to the rear for forty or fifty miles, and does not dare to fight with us at all, the Second Army and the Cavalry Army are far away in Mobei, and the Chinese Empire has no troops to send, how can Qiqihar suddenly appear a large-scale Chinese People's Army

The cavalry said in an astringent voice: General Manhorov, it is true, according to our reconnaissance, the opponent's strength may be as high as tens of thousands, at least three divisions

Three divisions

Manhorov is completely dizzy, but any area of Heilongjiang can have problems, but Qiqihar can not have problems, one Qiqihar, with a population of more than 300,000, accounts for almost one-third of the population of the entire Heilongjiang, this is one of the main bases for the supply of materials to the Russian army, without Qiqihar, relying solely on the supply of materials in Siberia, it is impossible to support such a huge war for a long time

Quickly, immediately tell Andreevich to stop the attack on the Seventh Army of the Chinese People's Army, and the army immediately withdrew to Harbin, ready to send two divisions of troops to quickly advance towards Qiqihar

Manhorov hurriedly gave an order to recall the army, and then the army immediately marched west to recapture Qiqihar.

The division commander on the side, Sashka, hurriedly said: General Manhorov, the situation is extremely unfavorable to us now, now Qiqihar has more troops of one corps of the Chinese People's Army, there are two corps in the east, and it is inevitable that there is another corps, which is the strength of four corps, and the strength of the army has even reached 200,000 people, if we turn around and advance eastward at this time, the main force of the Chinese People's Army that has just crossed the Ussuri River will follow closely and pounce on us, and a corps in the west of the Seventh Army Corps in the south will encircle us in the middle. At the same time, we are getting farther and farther away from Boli's left army, and our troops are weak, and it is very likely that we will be surrounded and annihilated by our opponents in Qiqihar

Damn it

Manhorov roared angrily: Where did Qiqihar's Chinese People's Army come from, and why did it arrive in Qiqihar without any news

Sashka said in an astringent voice: Manhorov, if my guess is correct, this force should have come from Mobei, all the way through the Erembuir steppe, and eastward to Qiqihar

Manhorov was shocked and asked: "You mean, this force is from the Second Army of Mobei, but isn't the Second Army being pinned down by our cavalry corps in Mobei?"

Sashka said with a wry smile: General Manhorov, our Cossack cavalry corps suffered heavy losses in Mobei, with more than half of the casualties, even if it is another increase in troops, there are not many troops left, and the Chinese Empire itself has a cavalry corps in Mobei, if you want to maintain the situation in Mobei, it is still possible, the second legion, this is the elite main force of the Chinese People's Army, it is not so easy to deal with

Manhorov's serious fierce light flickered, the current situation is too passive for the Russian army, there are enemies on all sides, how to deal with Valerian but it is still in Boli City, the troops of the four divisions want to enter Jilin from Heilongjiang, but it is not so fast, the main force of the Chinese People's Army crosses the Ussuri River too fast

Hmph, Sashka, it's not as passive as you think

Manhorov suddenly said: Qiqihar must be taken back, this is our most important material supply base, and don't forget, our Arsenyevich corps should not be far from Qiqihar now, we will temporarily give up the entanglement with the Seventh Army of the Chinese People's Army, and the army will move towards Qiqihar with all its might, and encircle and annihilate the enemy's second corps with the upcoming Arsenyevic corps

Sashka's eyes lit up, Manhorov is right, we still have a corps of reinforcements, if the reinforcements come up in time, that is, the three corps will surround Qiqihar, three against one, it is completely possible to defeat the second corps of the Chinese People's Army in the shortest possible time, and when the time comes, it is not without a chance to move eastward and fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Chinese People's Army

General Manhorov, this is feasible, but we must throw off the Seventh Army and advance quickly, completely kill them before their main force arrives, and we must let Valerian's Left Army immediately advance westward, cross the Ussuri River, advance to the southwest, and finally have a decisive battle with the Chinese People's Army on the Qiqihar Harbin line Now we have to compete with speed, whoever is fast, who is fast, who is fast, who can seize the opportunity

Sashka said in a deep voice.

Mankhorov nodded and replied: In this case, immediately give an order to order all the Right Army to retreat, urgently move in the direction of Qiqihar, and surround the Second Army Corps

Sashka agreed, and hurriedly went down to prepare.

The entire Heilongjiang and Jilin have been shrouded in the clouds of war, and there are large-scale emergency transfers everywhere, the Third Army of the First Army that has just crossed the Ussuri River, the Second Army of the Seventh Army Corps in Jilin Province has just arrived in Qiqihar, the four major army corps are gathered outside the pass, and the Russian army is also not weak, the left army is in Boli, the right army is in Harbin, the Arsenevich army is in Qiqihar, and the left army that has been disabled is outside, the Russian army also has four major army corps, and the two sides are staggered and ready to go to war at any time.

Qiqihar, the Second Army has now all entered the combat state, ready to launch a thunderous blow at any time, opposite, Arsenevich has also arrived on the opposite side, Arsenevich watched the movement of the Second Army in the telescope, the large and solid position, into the eyes of Arsenevich, made Arsenevich gasp

The opponent's strength is too strong, what 50,000 or 60,000 people, looking at this, the opponent's strength is no less than 70,000 If you really fight, who will kill the deer, but it is difficult to say

To be continued.
