Because, if they hit the fire net of the Chinese heavy machine gun headlong, it is absolutely lifeless, and if they run away immediately, there is still hope to save their lives, although the supervision team is terrible, but under the extended shelling of the Chinese artillery, many of them are "mud bodhisattvas crossing the river - it is difficult to protect themselves", the casualties are equally heavy, and even some are frightened and escape, where can they do their own work with quality and quantity?

Due to the fact that there is no password for radio communication, the movements of the Russian army are all in Bai Lang's control, so this large-scale artillery bombardment is not only extremely efficient, but also because the lethal effect of the artillery bombardment can be estimated in advance, the cavalry in the brigade has long been ready to fight, the Russian army has just begun to rout, Bai Lang issued an order for a counteroffensive, and under the fierce fire of those Chinese submachine gunners who were equally good as infantry after dismounting, the Russian soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and their last bit of morale was also lost......

Seeing that the Russian army retreated on all fronts, Bai Lang finally issued an order to outflank the servant army that had moved to the flank, bullying the soft and fearing the hard is the common characteristic of the grassland peoples, fighting the Russian army head-on, they don't dare, but chasing and killing deserters and killing dogs is very good at this kind of thing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the Russian army panicked and did not distinguish the details, only to see that the enemy came with a larger and larger new force, and suddenly became even more frightened, even the overseer team also disregarded their duties and joined the fleeing army, but no matter how fast the Russian army ran, it could not be compared with the cavalry, and was soon killed all over the field. And through such killings, the fear of the Russian army in the hearts of those Central Asian herdsmen has gradually dissipated, even if some Russian troops see that they can't escape and fight hard, they still dare to go up and besiege them, and they will no longer be frightened back.

Cavalry has a clear speed advantage over the infantry, so there is no need to tie the pockets tightly, and can indulge the enemy to escape, and then the cavalry has been following in a position parallel to it to slowly chase and kill, because the encirclement is not closed, the luck of fleeing the enemy still exists, and seeing that the enemy is chasing resolutely, and it is believed that there must be a large group of men and horses behind, it is difficult to rise up the idea of desperate resistance, but in fact, they can not get rid of the pursuit of the cavalry at all, and will only be slowly killed and wounded in the end, and can not make any resistance......

By about 4 p.m., the representative of Bai Lang in the servant corps, fearing that he would not be able to return in time for darkness, finally ordered the pursuit to be halted, and by this time, the Russian infantry corps, which had been fully equipped before the battle, had less than 3,000 remnants of defeated generals (most of them were officers and Cossack cavalry with horses, and the infantry was almost completely wiped out). At a small cost of 548 casualties in his headquarters and 752 casualties in his servants, Bai Lang almost completely annihilated a Russian infantry corps, killing more than 30,000 Russian troops and capturing no less than 20,000.

After the good news was sent back to China, Li Hui, who had already seen countless miracles, couldn't help but be amazed, and immediately advocated awarding Bai Lang the rank of major general, and at the same time let him concurrently serve as the brigade political commissar, so that he could display his talents to the fullest without hindrance, and in order to appease the original political commissar, he was also promoted by half a level, and when he joined forces with the main force of the expeditionary force, he became the chief of staff of the division for the time being.

However, Bai Lang himself was a little depressed, it was not that he was too slow to be promoted, but that the Russian infantry corps in the north, which was originally in his plan, learned that his comrades in the south were in danger and not attacked the back of the 7th Cavalry Brigade to surround Wei and save Zhao, but directly threw down his baggage and heavy weapons, and fled all the way to the north......

"Forget it, there are gains and losses, and if the losses in the north can be made up in the south, then it won't be a problem." Fortunately, Bai Lang still wanted to open it, it was a pity to escape more than 30,000 Russian troops, but it also avoided his troops from going north, and now there was an army in the south not far away, because the Russians had just gotten off the train and had not yet assembled, and they immediately went south at full speed with the aftermath of this great victory, and there was every hope that it would be easily broken before it was organized.

However, Bai Lang underestimated the speed of the Russian army's organization, because of the same "sea of people" tactical route, the Russian army is easy to reorganize in chaos, plus the western end of the Central Asian Railway is quite far away (not directly connected to other railways, but using the "sea" of the Caspian Sea, starting from Turkmenbashi, a "seaport" on the Caspian coast). When Bai Lang led his army south to approach Turkmenbashi, the Russian infantry army had not only completed the assembly, but even built the most basic trench fortifications, and it was obvious that the defeat in the north had made the Russian army lose the confidence to fight a field battle with Bai Lang's troops with the strength of one army. To make matters worse, there was also an army of Russians who had already disembarked from the train, and as long as they were given time to restore their organization, Bai Lang would soon have to face more than 100,000 enemies in two armies......

After a fierce ideological struggle, Bai Lang finally gave up the idea of "the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road", his strength is still not enough, a full cavalry brigade is only about 7,000 people, because of casualties and illness in the Western Expedition, there are only more than 5,000 available soldiers, and the frontal battle can not count on the servant army, the loss is their own backbone, and if the loss of the seventh brigade is too great, even if it wins, it will not be able to suppress those "afraid of power but not virtuous" servant army, not to mention that there is still the main force of the Russian army in eastern Central Asia!

"The cost is too small, I can't afford to lose it!" In the end, Bai Lang reluctantly gave the order to retreat, and in order to avoid affecting morale, his excuse was "to liberate the Khiva Khanate and the Bukhara Khanate enslaved by Russia", but unexpectedly won the unanimous support of the servant army. It turned out that they followed Bai Lang to fight the Russian army only because of resentment and impulsiveness, and they were worried about the Russians' retaliation after owing a blood debt, but the "liberation" of the two khanates could obtain the fertile pastures and a large number of livestock that the herdsmen wanted most, not to mention that the land of these two khanates was mostly desert, but along the two major rivers, there were the best pastures in Central Asia and a few agricultural areas, even if they could only get a small piece of it, they could make the tribes who followed Bai Lang south full of oil.

More importantly, the two khanates of Khiva and Bukhara have long lost their autonomy, the size of their armies has been severely limited, and the garrisons of Tsarist Russia in the two countries have been transferred in large numbers due to the sudden changes in the situation in the past few months......
