Kulen, the seat of the Western Front Command of the Northern Army. Four of the seven infantry divisions under the command of the Western Front of the Northern Army were assembled here. Now, the whole of Kulun has become a huge construction site, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers plus tens of thousands of people are working hard around Kulen.

According to the plan of the Northern Army, this place will become a decisive battle place for the Northern Army and the Russian army. In the event of an offensive by the hundreds of thousands of troops deployed by the Russian army in the Viceroyalty of Eastern Siberia, Kulen will certainly become a key target. The Northern Army hoped to make the Russians pay a heavy price in Kulen. Create favorable conditions for subsequent counterattacks.

In addition to Kulen, the same is true of Uriya Sutai. Three of the seven infantry divisions under the command of the Western Front of the Northern Army were deployed there. As for the other 12 cavalry brigades, they were used as mobile units.

The Northern Army planned to build a series of fortifications consisting of trenches and pillboxes around Kulen. Because the railway was not built, a large number of building materials could not be transported, so they could only be used locally. But considering that the Russian Army was not armed with much heavy artillery. The distance of thousands of kilometers from Irkutsk to Kulen is also not suitable for the transportation of heavy artillery. Therefore, even the fortifications of civil structures can withstand the attack of the Russian army.

The Mongols actively responded to the call of the Northern Army and joined the construction of these fortifications. For the Mongols, there was a national enmity between them and the Russians. When the Russians invaded the Mongols, the Mongols were not less oppressed by them. Even their revered living Buddha, Jebtsundamba VIII, was poisoned by these hateful Russians, and the spiritual faith of the Mongols was nearly collapsed. Naturally, these Mongols hated them to the extreme.

In addition, the government of the north has already found a reincarnated spirit child, which is the future Jebtsundamba IX. It's just that the current Jebtsundamba IX is just a baby. But even this did not prevent the northern government from acting in the name of the Living Buddha of Jebtsundamba IX. Call on the Mongols to take up arms against the Russians. For these ordinary Mongols, the will of the Living Buddha is their supreme will.

In Kulen City, in the Western Front Command of the Northern Army, Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu, the commander, was studying the operational map with several staff officers.

"Commander, this is a telegram from the young marshal." A staff officer handed the telegram into the hands of Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu.

The content of the telegram was Wu Haoxuan's order to the Western Front Command to try to eliminate the Russians' 2nd Cossack Cavalry Corps. It was learned that the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army went deep alone. Wu Haoxuan immediately realized that this was a great opportunity. In the battle plan of the Northern Army, it relied on Kulen and Uriya Sutai to attract the main forces of the Russian army, so that the Russian army could focus on attacking the strong defensive positions of the Northern Army and weakening their vital forces. The cavalry was the logistical supply line for attacking the Russian army, and finally dragged the Russian army to death.

In this plan, it is very important to destroy the mobile units of the Russian army. As long as the mobile forces of the Russian army are eliminated, then the possibility of the success of this battle plan of the Northern Army will be much greater.

Previously, the 2nd Cossack Regiment of the Russian Army operated in the northern part of the Mongolian steppe. Apart from skirmishes between reconnaissance units, no large-scale war broke out between the two sides. However, this time is different. The Russian cavalry seemed to have the intention of heading south, and this was undoubtedly a perfect opportunity. The Russians themselves sent it to the door, so how can it not be a good bite to bite them?

"Haha! Damn old Maozi, they actually sent it to the door by themselves, this is simply looking for death! Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu laughed. At present, the Eastern Front Command of the Northern Army is fighting fiercely with the Russians in the Far Eastern Governorate. More than 100,000 enemies have been annihilated. But the command of the Western Front calmed down, and the Russians simply declared war. did not send a large army to attack, which made Zhao Xifu very dissatisfied. He has a lot of troops, but he has no place to use them! Well, now, the opportunity has finally arrived.

"The 1st Cavalry Brigade, the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, and the 4th Cavalry Brigade were ordered to carry out the 1st Operational Plan. 5th Cavalry Brigade and 6th Cavalry Brigade. and the 8th Cavalry Brigade, which carried out the 2nd operational plan. Lieutenant General Zhao Xifu ordered.

The Western Front Command had previously drawn up several operational plans against the Russian army, in order to prepare for the Russian attack. Now that the Russian offensive has begun, the Northern Army will be able to prepare directly in accordance with these battle plans.

The so-called No. 1 battle plan. It was a plan for the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Regiment of the Russian Army. The Northern Army had already mastered the situation of the Russian army before the start of the war, and knew that the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Corps was the elite unit of the Russian Governorate of Eastern Siberia. In order to eliminate this elite corps, the Northern Army mobilized six cavalry brigades, nearly 50,000 people, and the total strength was already twice that of the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Regiment of the Russian Army.

These five cavalry brigades were originally active in the north-central part of the Mongolian steppe, and they have always been in contact with the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian army. It's just that the cavalry of the Northern Army won a little more often.

"Yes, Commander." The staff officer excitedly went to give the order. During this time, they kept learning from the General Staff Headquarters what the Eastern Front Command had won, but they didn't move at all. This naturally made them hold their breath in their hearts.

In the northern part of the Mongolian steppe, along the Orkhon River, the 1st, 2nd and 4th Cavalry Brigades of the Northern Army were cruising nearby. Although, each cavalry brigade had only more than 8,000 people, which was only a third of the size of a Cossack cavalry regiment of the Russian army. However, the total strength of the three cavalry brigades combined is not inferior to that of a Cossack cavalry corps of the Russian army. In addition, these three cavalry brigades all have radio station communications, so they are not worried about being broken by the Russian army.

"Hey, Lao Zou, the order from the headquarters has finally been issued, let's carry out the No. 1 battle plan. In my opinion, the task of luring the enemy will be entrusted to our 2nd Brigade. Kan Chaoxi, commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, said with a smile.

"Get out! Wasn't it already discussed? The task of luring the enemy is our 1st Brigade, and after we have eliminated Lao Maozi's living forces, your two brigades will encircle them from the flanks and encircle and annihilate them in one fell swoop. The 5th, 6th, and 8th Brigades were to guard against Lao Maozi's reinforcements. Zou Fang, the commander of the 1st Brigade, did not hesitate to refuse the request of Kan Chaoxi, the commander of the 2nd Brigade.

Although, taking on the task of luring the enemy is relatively dangerous. But in the same way, once the enemy is defeated, the victory is even greater.

"Haha, I said. Lao Zou, how could he give up such an opportunity? Zheng Diansheng, commander of the 4th Cavalry Brigade, had a smile on his face.

Although, about to fight with the fierce Cossack cavalry of the Russians. However, these brigade commanders were not worried. As if they were going to face not the world-famous Cossack cavalry, but some small miscellaneous fish.

"Guys, according to the plan. Our 1st Cavalry Brigade went out and attracted the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Regiment of the Russian Army. On the banks of the Orkhon River, a bloody battle was fought with the Russian army. And your two brigades, having received our signal, fought out from the right flank and surrounded the main forces of the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Brigade of the Russian Army along the Orkhon River in one fell swoop. I'm going to let this cavalry regiment of the Russians be completely buried here. Brigadier General Zou Fang said.

"That's right! The Cossack cavalry of Lao Maozi is called the most powerful cavalry in the world, and I still don't believe it. Our cavalry will definitely be able to pull them down from the altar. Brigadier General Kan Chaoxi also had a firm face.

According to the predetermined battle plan, the 1st Cavalry Brigade left the garrison and advanced to the north of the Mongolian steppe, taking the initiative to open up the distance between the 2nd Cavalry Brigade and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade.

The movements of the cavalry of the Northern Army immediately attracted the attention of the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army. The reconnaissance troops of both sides launched an intensive exchange of fire.

"General, the latest information, a cavalry brigade of the Northern Army, totaling more than 8,000 people, is less than eighty kilometers away from us. However, they wandered along the Orkhon River and had no plans to go further north. A staff officer reported to Major General Dimitri.

"Hell! What the hell are those yellow-skinned monkeys trying to do? Dimitri's brow furrowed. He had just made up his mind to lead his army south and give the northern army a good look. At this time, the cavalry of the Northern Army took the initiative to dispatch, which undoubtedly made him feel an unusual meaning.

"General, could this not be a conspiracy. The Chinese had a large number of cavalry. They may be trying to lure us into attacking this cavalry brigade of theirs, and then concentrate their superior forces to encircle us. Said a middle-aged reward, who is the commander of the 8th Cossack Cavalry Division of the Russian Army, Major General Agata said.

"General Agatta, you must have been frightened by those yellow-skinned monkeys. Even if they had tens of thousands of cavalry in the Mongolian steppe, what could they do? We were elite Cossack cavalry. Only one cavalry division was needed, and it would be enough to defeat one of their cavalry brigades. Another bearded general said with a look of disdain. He was the commander of the 7th Cossack Cavalry Division of the Russian Army, Major General Yegor. Major General Yegor and Major General Agata were originally a pair of sworn enemies, and they often raised the bar.

"You! If your cavalry were really that strong, they wouldn't have been defeated by those yellow-skinned monkeys in the previous skirmish. Major General Agata said disdainfully.

Suddenly, Major General Yegor's hairy face turned red. The 7th Cossack Cavalry Division was the vanguard of the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Regiment of the Russian Army. However, in the exchange of fire between the reconnaissance units of both sides, the 7th Cossack Cavalry Division was suppressed to the death and suffered extremely heavy losses.
