Megot was originally just a small town, but the Trans-Siberian Railway passed through here and set up a small station, which made this Siberian wilderness town slowly prosperous. There is also a bridge across the Angara River, which is less than five metres wide, but offers a lot of opportunities for Megget.

Since the confrontation between China and Russia in Irkutsk, all the bridges around Irkutsk have become the key defense places of the Russian army. When it was in Ulan-Ude, the Russian army was copied by the squadron because of the loss of the bridge over the Selenga River, and in the end it had to break through in advance, and finally suffered heavy losses. Grand Duke Nicholas, who had already suffered a loss, apparently would not make the same mistake again. Now all the bridges around Irkutsk are heavily guarded, and explosives are planted! All the garrisons received orders to destroy the bridge as soon as the squadron attacked, in order to ensure the safety of Irkutsk.

Megot is more than 20 kilometers from Irkutsk. At the same time, the Megot Bridge here is not an important bridge. Therefore, the Russian army has only deployed two regiments here, less than three thousand people. On the north and south sides of the bridge, there is a regiment on each side. At the same time, on top of the bridge, explosives were also placed. Once the squadron attacks here, the defenders will blow up the bridge and make it impossible for the squadron to cross the river. It's just that the Russian army believes that the possibility of the squadron attacking here is very small. To attack Megot from Kurtuk, it was also necessary to bypass the Irkut River, a tributary of the Angara River, which was more troublesome. If the squadron wants to pose a direct threat to Irkutsk, a direct attack on Irkutsk is undoubtedly the best way.

Four o'clock in the morning on June 6. A large detachment of cavalry appeared outside the town of Megget. The Russian army guarding here. And didn't find out. In the early hours of the morning when the temperature is at its lowest. At the same time, it was also the most sleepy time, even the sentries were napping.

More than 8,000 people of the 9th Cavalry Brigade of the Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army, at this time, all the covert movements reached Megget. At this time, there was still more than an hour before dawn, and it was the time when the defense was the most lax.

"It's almost dawn! Battalion Commander Dong, all your men dismount and touch Meggot. Fight to get rid of the Russian troops in the town. The first battalion is ready to rush in! Brigadier General An Hongyuan, commander of the 9th Cavalry Brigade, ordered. The men of the 4th battalion, temporarily giving up their horseback, tried to touch the town and get rid of the Russian troops guarding here, so as not to alarm another regiment of the Russian army on the other side of the bridge.

"Yes, Brigadier General!" Dong Jiarong, commander of the 4th Battalion of the 9th Cavalry Brigade, received the order.

Soon, thousands of soldiers of the 4th battalion, armed with weapons. Sneak up to the town of Meggot and touch it. The 1,000 cavalry of the 3rd Battalion were ready to attack. Once the actions of the 4th battalion were exposed. alarmed the Russian troops on the other side of the bridge. The 3rd Battalion will launch a rush with all its might, rush across the Megot Bridge in one fell swoop, crush the Russian troops on the opposite bank, and seize the bridge. For the 9th Cavalry Brigade, the most important thing is to capture the bridge and ensure its safety!

Inside the town, it's quiet. Meggott is just a town of more than a thousand people. There is only one street, and almost all of the people live on both sides of the street. And the barracks of the Russian army are outside the town, near the bridge. In the town, there are only a small number of Russian troops.

The Russian army's defense is very lax, perhaps because the squadron has never appeared in Meggart for so long, which makes them think that the squadron will not attack here. Therefore, after the initial tight defense, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of relaxation.

The soldiers of the 4th Battalion of the 9th Cavalry Brigade quietly entered the town. The few Russian soldiers who were napping at the corner of the street were killed by the sharp soldiers with daggers. So that the large troops behind can enter the town without danger.

By five o'clock in the morning, the soldiers of the 4th Battalion of the 9th Cavalry Brigade had completed the occupation of the town of Megget, during which time not a single Russian soldier was alarmed. For the Russian barracks outside the town, the 9th Cavalry Brigade did not attack, but set up heavy machine guns and mortars at the gate of the barracks. Once there is a change in the Russian army in the barracks, it will be very difficult for them to die.

After that, the soldiers of the 1st battalion, leading their horses, passed through the town of Megget. The sound of the war horse, slightly louder. Some Russian civilians were awakened, and through the window, they found the squadron on the march in the street. This frightened them, but they didn't dare make any noise. Who knows if that will anger the squadron? When the time comes, if you attack them, they will suffer. Therefore, almost all Russian civilians chose to turn a blind eye and went back to bed, hugging their wives and trembling.

At half past five in the morning, the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the 9th Cavalry Brigade appeared less than two hundred meters from the Megget Bridge. They need to rush over quickly in the next time to clear the Russian troops at both ends of the bridge and not give them a chance to blow up the bridge.

"The 1st and 2nd companies, dealing with the enemy on the south bank of the bridge. The 1st and 4th companies to deal with the enemy on the north bank of the bridge! Offensive! "The commander of the 1st battalion gave the order. At the same time, several other battalions of the 9th Cavalry Brigade were also rapidly passing through the town of Megget, ready to enter the battle.

"Boom!" The horses galloped quickly, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky. At this time, if the Russian army has not been woken up, it is completely impossible. First of all, the Russian troops guarding the bridge were woken up, and they got up from behind the bunkers sleepily and wondered what was going on. But when they just opened their eyes, they saw the snow swords shining. Immediately after, the heads rose into the sky.

The 1st Company and 4th Company of the 1st Battalion took the lead, broke through the Russian defenders on the south side of the bridge, got on the bridge, and quickly rushed to the north of the bridge. They need to take the bridge when the Russian army comes to their senses and blows it up. Megot Bridge, less than three hundred meters long. For a high-speed galloping war horse, it will take less than a minute to rush through.

"Bang!" The Russian army south of the bridge, in the face of the attack of the Chinese cavalry, began a counterattack. However, their counterattack was quickly suppressed. Under the attack of two companies and hundreds of cavalry, in less than two minutes, hundreds of Russian soldiers guarding the south side of the bridge were slaughtered. However, the sound of gunfire also woke up the Russian troops north of the bridge.

"Oh God! The Chinese called! Hurry up, blow up the bridge! The commander of a Russian company defending the north side of the bridge looked shocked and hurriedly gave an order. It's just that the soldiers under him haven't come to their senses yet.

At this time, the Chinese cavalry had already rushed down the bridge, waving the sabers in their hands and lightly cutting off the heads of these Russian troops. In this case, the Russian army will run away, where do you remember to blow up the bridge. By the time they came to their senses, the Chinese cavalry had cleared the enemy near the bridge.

The Russian troops in the barracks south of the Megot Bridge were pleasantly surprised by the sound of gunfire, and they immediately got up, grabbed their weapons and rushed outside the barracks. Everyone knows that they are now being attacked by the squadron.

"Da Da Da!" At this time, the heavy machine guns of the Chinese cavalry erected at the entrance of the barracks opened fire.

Rows of bullets were fired, killing those Russian troops who were about to rush out of the barracks, and in the end, the troops in the barracks did not dare to come out again. Mortars were also firing incessantly, turning the entire barracks into flames.

At the same time, two other cavalry battalions of the 9th Cavalry Brigade also crossed the bridge and launched an attack on the Russian infantry regiment north of the bridge. In less than ten minutes, the Russian troops of this regiment were routed, except for a small number of troops who fled, the rest were either killed or captured.

By six o'clock in the morning, Meggett's gunfire had subsided. The vast majority of the Russian troops of the two regiments guarding the Megot bridge were captured. The bridge fell intact into the hands of the squadron. After that, the main force of the Third Cavalry Army arrived, except for the two brigades deployed south of the bridge, the remaining two brigades and troops directly under the army were all deployed to the north of the bridge, ready to resist the next attack of the Russian army. If Grand Duke Nicholas had learned that the retreat had been cut off, he would have lined up his army desperately.

Cai Yun, Minister of the Chinese Army, got up in the morning and received the news that the Third Cavalry Army had successfully captured Megot and captured the Megot Bridge. This made him very happy, and instructed the 1st Army to set off at once, and strive to reach Megot within two days, cutting off the retreat of the Russian army. At the same time, the Trans-Siberian Railway was also cut off, cutting off all the supplies of the Russian army and preparing for the next big war.

The soldiers of the 1st Army set off before 7 o'clock. From Kurtuk to Megget, it's almost ninety kilometres. There was no problem for the infantry to arrive in two days, but the army group also carried a large amount of combat materials, as well as heavy artillery and so on, which took time.

Grand Duke Nikolai received the news of the fall of Megot and the occupation of the Megot Bridge by the squadron at half past seven in the morning. After receiving this news, Grand Duke Nikolai's face suddenly changed drastically. Megot was occupied by the squadron, which meant that the Trans-Siberian Railway would be cut off, and reinforcements and supplies from Europe would not be able to reach Irkutsk. What is even more serious is that the retreat of the Russian army has been cut off again. More than 500,000 Russian troops in Irkutsk have fallen into the encirclement of the squadron.

"Damn, how could this be! How could the Chinese suddenly occupy Megget, those stupid pigs of Meggott, how come they are not at all defenseless? Here, organize the army, and take Meggette back for me! "Grand Duke Nicholas is like a raging lion at this moment. (To be continued.) )
