After arranging the defense of the city of Irkutsk, driving away the local Russian useless personnel, and leaving a large amount of food, ammunition and other baggage, Zhang Wei took an airship to Ulan-Ude on the evening of the 22nd. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Wei's plan was to release the Siberian 2nd Army, occupy Ulan-Ude, and attack to the east, cooperating with the operations in the northern theater, so that the Siberian 1st Army could fully block the reinforcements from the Siberian direction of the Russian Empire, and slowly eliminate the Russian defenders on the battlefield east of it.

Before leaving, Zhang Wei said to Zhao Liangong: "You are temporarily stationed here, and the 2nd Army of Ulan-Ude is also under your command, and your task is to block Russian reinforcements and prevent the officers and soldiers of the Russian Far East Military District from retreating, and the task is quite arduous." ”

Zhao Liangong said confidently: "Your Majesty, rest assured, if you are attacked from both sides, I will rely on the terrain advantage to block the enemy at that time, and wait for reinforcements from Your Majesty or the Northern Theater." ”

In order to make him cautious, Zhang Wei encouraged Zhao Liangong: "Okay, don't be careless and underestimate the enemy, if you can satisfy me, you will command the counterattack next spring, and I will fight all the way to the Ural Mountains, otherwise you should go back to Vietnam and stay honestly for the elderly." ”

Zhao Liangong was very excited after hearing this, and hurriedly promised: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty will never live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" ”

"I'll go first, don't let me down!"

"Yes, I wish Your Majesty success!"

Ulan-Ude is the name of Mongolian, the Russian name is the city of Verkhniy Uginsk, located 80 kilometers east of Lake Baikal, in the valley of the Selenga River, less than 200 kilometers away from Irkutsk, is an important node connecting the Far Eastern Military District and the Siberian Military District, and the strategic location is very important.

In order to ensure the security of the rear road and the guarantee of logistics materials, the Russian Far Eastern Military District deployed a corps of troops here to guard against the army of the Chinese Empire from Kulen (after the establishment of the Mongolian People's Republic in 1924, Kulen was changed to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. Raid Ulan-Ude across the Yablonov Mountains and cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway. Irkutsk was occupied by the Xia Empire, because they did not know how the enemy arrived in Irkutsk, which made the Russian troops stationed in Ulan-Ude have a serious fear, they transferred the main force of the army to the west of Ulan-Ude, deployed along the river to prevent the enemy's surprise attack, and arranged numerous sentry posts and guard troops around the city; Making the sneak attack more difficult, Zhang Wei decided to personally bomb his military camps and positions to reduce the pressure on the ground troops.

Zhang Wei's airship floated in the sky over Ulan-Ude, and he was very excited, such a beautiful and rich place was about to be recovered, and the Russian army would never have thought that the Xia Empire would deploy troops in this way. The entire Ulan-Ude was within Zhang Wei's control, and after understanding the deployment of the Russian army, Zhang Wei ordered the airship to land on the flat ground on the outskirts of northeast Ulan-Ude.

Zhang Wei first released the military headquarters of the 2nd Siberian Army and asked the guards to set up a simple tent as the campaign headquarters. Then inform the army commander, deputy army commander, and chief of staff of the army about the deployment of Ulan-Ude's troops, and they will discuss a specific plan for the occupation of Ulan-Ude.

At 3 o'clock, according to the plan they had drawn up, Zhang Wei first released the reconnaissance battalions of each division out of the system, and they went to destroy the enemy posts in the northeast, east, and north of Ulan-Ude, so as to prepare for the general attack of the large army.

After that, the commanders of the divisions and divisions and the units directly under the corps were released one after another, and the chief of staff of the corps gave them their respective tasks.

At 6 o'clock, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, 6,000 officers and men of the cavalry brigade directly under the army took the lead in launching an attack on Ulan-Ude, and because the distance was relatively close, less than 5 kilometers away, the cavalry troops quickly rushed into the city.

Subsequently, the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Wehrmacht were outflanked from the left and right flanks, respectively, and the 3rd Defence Division stayed with the army headquarters and served as a reserve; The Praetorian Guard Division advanced directly towards Ulan-Ude, and Zhang Wei was flying above them in an airship, providing them with timely support.

Since the enemy had been prepared for a long time and was very scattered, the plan of the military headquarters was to launch a direct attack, instead of first shelling the barracks as in the occupation of the city of Irkutsk, in fact, with the assistance of Zhang Wei, it was more efficient than the most accurate artillery bombardment.

The cavalry units in front have been fighting with a small group of Russian troops, due to the fast speed of the cavalry, and it is a surprise attack, several troops responsible for vigilance were caught off guard, and the sabre has become a sharp weapon to harvest the heads of Russian officers and soldiers, and the rifle has lost its due role in close combat, and the current cavalry is equipped with a large number of StG44 assault rifles and light machine guns, and the cavalry occupies a firepower advantage in the short, medium and long distances.

At the beginning, he followed Xiao Xuguang's advice and chose an assault rifle with powerful firepower, and finally Zhang Wei chose the StG44 assault rifle used by Germany during World War II, which was mainly equipped with grassroots officers, scouts, guards and cavalry such as squad platoon companies. However, Zhang Weiyi was wrong, and did not unify the ammunition to reduce the logistical pressure, although the StG44 assault rifle also uses a 7.92mm caliber bullet, but it is a short bullet, only 33mm in length.

Zhang Wei floated over the city in an airship, and as long as he felt the enemy's dense place, he would directly release incendiary bombs from the system to carry out precise bombing of the Russian army, which not only destroyed the Russian army in large numbers, but also illuminated the land with huge flames, making it convenient for the cavalry troops to kill the enemy.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The explosion of shells was incessant, dense more than an artillery division. Zhang Wei not only dropped incendiary bombs, but also dropped 500-kilogram aerial bombs, each shell could clear a vacuum area larger than a basketball court, and the huge lethality made the surviving Russian officers and soldiers tremble.

The bombing of its barracks caused even greater losses, and the officers and soldiers there did not even have a place to hide, and the barracks instantly turned into a huge fire field.

The hooves of the cavalry struck the ground, and the sound of violent explosions and dense gunfire woke up the sleeping Ulan-Ude. What the military and political officials were most worried about still happened, they did such a tight protection and vigilance, and finally let the officers and soldiers of the Xia Empire easily attack the city, I really don't know how they transported the army, which made them even more terrifying.

Seeing the huge flames rising in the direction of several military camps and the direction of the front line along the river, the hearts of those military and political officials immediately became cold, and Ulan-Ude was finished.

Subsequently, more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard poured into Ulan-Ude, the enemy's command organs were directly occupied, and the Russian officers and soldiers on the front line along the river had suffered heavy casualties after Zhang Wei's bombardment, and were charged by the cavalry brigade, and there were not many tens of thousands of officers and soldiers left, and they were unable to organize a counterattack, so they had to surrender obediently, most of them were peasants or serfs, and the will to resist was very weak, and now there is no political commissar system in later generations, and defeat and surrender are a natural thing.

The whole battle lasted more than 3 hours, and by 9 a.m., the gunfire in the city had stopped, the war was over, and Ulan-Ude was easily occupied by the Xia Empire.

After the war, Zhang Wei ordered the Siberian 2nd Army to adopt the same strategy as in Irkutsk in Ulan-Ude and surrounding towns, and the able-bodied were selected as free labor, and the development of the Far East and Siberia in the future required a large number of laborers; At the same time, beautiful unmarried girls and girls were selected to be the daughters-in-law of the officers and soldiers of the army in the future, and the rest were all driven away after the body search.
