Although the number of troops is much smaller than that of the enemy, as the general of the Chinese Army, who probably has the most profound understanding of the "parallel pursuit" tactics, Bai Lang gave full play to the advantages of his own many horses, and did not rush to attack the fleeing enemy army, but changed horses all the way to follow closely, constantly putting pressure on the Russian army, making himself desperate or exhausted, thus greatly reducing casualties. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As a result, although Bai Lang's cavalry division did not kill the most enemies, it captured more than 300,000 prisoners, nearly double that of the other two cavalry divisions combined, and its total casualties were only four or five thousand even if the losses of previous sabotage and field battles were added (if you count the Central Asian cavalry who came to Omsk with him, there were more than 7,000 people, but they did not count the Chinese army, and Bai Lang took a big advantage when counting). ), on the contrary, more than the other two cavalry divisions.

Even if such a performance is scored by the most demanding judges, it can definitely give more than 95 points, combined with his excellent performance before this, Li Hui finally made up his mind to unify the three cavalry divisions into China's First Cavalry Army, as a strategic mobile force in the war against Russia, and Bai Lang, who was only 34 years old, served as the first commander of the army.

As the saying goes, "a new officer takes office with three fires", and after Bai Lang was promoted to army commander, he immediately ordered three cavalry divisions to continue to attack westward, striving to seize the opportunity of the wavering morale of the army after the defeat of the Russian army, and push the battle line to the west of the Ural Mountains in one breath and force the Tsarist government to sue for peace. As for the reorganization of the cavalry corps, it is not too late to do it after the cold winter comes, and with the severe cold of Siberia, there will be at least a few months when the war will not be able to fight, and this work will be just done, and if the current fighters are not seized, they may never be encountered again.

Bai Lang's plan almost succeeded, and due to low morale and poor logistics, the troops hastily replenished by the Tsarist government to the eastern theater were completely ineffective. In less than a month, the First Cavalry Army killed and captured more than 500,000 Russian troops, and the forward troops fought all the way to the outskirts of Yekaterinburg, the most important city in the Urals. The three countries are likely to take advantage of the situation and fall into the ground, at which point Tsarist Russia is at risk of extinction, and France will inevitably intervene, and then trigger the First World War in advance. ）

But at this time, the big cold wave that should have come a long time ago finally came, and it may be the reason for the energy that was saved before, the temperature dropped greatly, and the extreme minimum temperature once dropped to more than minus 30 C.

In just a few days, the number of non-combat attrition of the three divisions reached more than 10,000 people, Bai Lang had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the troops, under the severe cold weather, the Chinese cavalry was not unable to persist in fighting, but a large number of non-combat attrition was difficult to avoid, with the exchange ratio of the disparity between the Chinese and Russian armies when they were at war, this was obviously not worth it......

Fortunately, at this time, the Trans-Siberian Railway had been completely repaired, and it was raced against time to transport the reinforcements and a large number of supplies of the entire field army to Omsk and the new advance base of the First Cavalry Army to Kurgan, plus Pegasus and Kazakh horses (Bai Lang brought not only this horse breed to Omsk, but before the offensive was launched, he deliberately brought only those that could withstand the severe cold. The horses used in the army are very hardy, basically did not freeze to death, the transportation capacity is sufficient, the frostbitten officers and soldiers can be safely withdrawn, the wounded can also be treated in a timely and proper manner, and it is a blessing in misfortune that there will not be too many disability.

It's a good thing that there aren't many permanent attritions, but this good opportunity was missed, and then the Russian army was given at least four or five months to replenish and repair, considering that the mud with the thawing permafrost will soon begin, and the Chinese army wants to launch a large-scale offensive against Russia again, I am afraid that it will have to wait until the summer of next year, and with such a long time, God knows how many troops can be organized by Tsarist Russia, which has an amazing mobilization power......

There is no way, Russia's position determines that it is one of the most difficult countries in the world to conquer, and the fact that the Chinese army can reach the Urals so quickly is enough to shock the world.

However, the fact that the war against Russia is progressing so quickly is not entirely a good thing for China, because it further stimulates the fear and jealousy of the Western European powers against China, so not only for the United States, but also for Russia, they have also provided more powerful support. The most typical example of this is that they have slandered the Chinese army's law and order purge in Siberia, while turning a blind eye to the unmistakable atrocities committed by the Russian army in Central Asia, as if they were completely unaware of it.

Long before the Chinese army captured Omsk, Major General Alexei Alekseevich Brusilov, commander of the 2nd Guards Cavalry Division of Tsarist Russia, took advantage of his position to directly advise Tsar Nicholas II to form a larger cavalry unit, on the grounds that although Tsarist Russia also has cavalry divisions, the strength is not as large as China's cavalry divisions, and the weaponry and combat effectiveness are far behind. But they couldn't keep up with the marching speed of the Chinese cavalry division, so they could only run exhausted under their mobilization, and once they showed their flaws, they would be broken by each one.

The fact that China could not catch up with it and could not catch up with it caused a miracle that China was able to defeat more than one million Russian troops with only three divisions of cavalry troops. Major General Alexei Alekseevich Brusilov believes that in order to change this embarrassing situation, it is necessary to form a larger all-cavalry unit, and it is very difficult for a Russian cavalry division to run into a Chinese cavalry division and even escape, so it is necessary to form a cavalry corps and use the strength of an army to deal with a Chinese division Chinese......
