"General, I heard that the Chinese cavalry was dispatched, and General Dimitri led the 2nd Cossack Regiment and the 5th Cossack Regiment to meet it." A short middle-aged major general said. It's just that his face showed a smile, as if he was waiting for a good show. He was a division commander of the 9th Cossack Regiment of the Russian Army, and in the battle of Kyakhta, his division, which lost most of its parts, was not replenished after retreating to Ulan-Ude. The treatment of the entire 9th Cossack Regiment has decreased greatly, which makes them feel a little dissatisfied. And now, the commander of the 2nd Cossack Regiment, General Dimitry, actually wants to lead his cavalry to fight the Chinese 3rd Cavalry Army, which makes the people of the 9th Cossack Regiment can't help but laugh at these fools.

The commander of the 9th Cossack regiment, Major General Anatoly, also had an inexplicable smile in his eyes. After the defeat in Kyakhta, although he was not brought to a military court, he was warned. This made him very dissatisfied. And now, Major General Dimitri is going to die with the 2nd Cossack Regiment and the 5th Cossack Regiment, and he, of course, is waiting for this good show.

People are like this, and if they suffer a loss, they will be very unhappy. If you are ridiculed by others again, it will be even more unpleasant. This was what happened to the 9th Cossack Regiment. When they suffered defeat, they were ridiculed by the 2nd Cossack Regiment and the 5th Cossack Regiment. This made them very hopeful that the 2nd Cossack Regiment and the 5th Cossack Regiment would also be bled in front of the 3rd Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army. This proves that it is not that they are too weak, but that the enemy is too strong!

"General Dimitri is a famous general among our Cossack cavalry, and he will definitely lead the brave soldiers of the 2nd Cossack Regiment and the 5th Cossack Regiment to victory!" Major General Anatoly said without yin or yang.

"Haha! Hope God will bless him! The division commander also laughed. He did not believe at all that Dimitry, with two Cossack regiments, would be able to defeat the 3rd Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army. The battle at that time made him still have lingering fears when he thought about it now. The cavalry of the Chinese cannot be considered real cavalry at all. The real cavalry should rely on the saber in the hand to cut off the enemy's head, and this kind of battle that relies on the war horse to sprint and cut off the head of the place lightly is the battle of the cavalry. And the Chinese cavalry, like the infantry, relied on strong firepower to win. This made them very shameless for the brave Cossack cavalry. However, I have to admit that such a tactic is very effective. The Cossack cavalry, using ancient tactics, in the face of dense fire, had only those who were slaughtered.

Grand Duke Nikolai of Ulan-Ude also learned that a large-scale war was about to break out between the cavalry of both sides. However, he had a strong confidence in the Cossack cavalry. Grand Duke Nikolai, himself a cavalry general, was well acquainted with the power of the Cossack cavalry. In this world, there is absolutely no kind of cavalry that can defeat the Cossack cavalry. So, he was convinced that the Cossack cavalry would be able to achieve victory. The 50,000 Cossack cavalry in his hands is responsible for defending the back road of Ulan-Ude, if the back road is cut off, it will inevitably cut off all the material supplies of Ulan-Ude, and it will also make the morale of the defenders plummet, which will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the Russian army. Therefore, he personally sent a telegram to Major General Dimitri, asking him to defeat the Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army and win this cavalry duel.

And Major General Dimitri also assured Grand Duke Nikolai that the brave Cossack cavalry would definitely use their sabers to win for Russia.

The Chinese side is also very concerned about this battle. After the victory of the 3rd Cavalry Army, it was able to cross the Selenga River and block the retreat of the Russian troops in Ulan-Ude. This will completely encircle the Russian army in Ulan-Ude, which is definitely a devastating blow to the morale of the Russian army. When the time comes, it will be much easier for the squadron to take Ulan-Ude.

"The army commander, the Minister of War Cai, has called and asked us to win this battle. And, seize the bridge over the Selenga River intact! Major General Li Zhuo, deputy commander of the Third Cavalry Army, said to Major General Bashar.

"Hmmm! Although the two Cossack regiments of the Russian army, with more than 40,000 people, were not our opponents. The difficulty now is to seize the bridge over the Selenga River. In case the bridge is blown up after the defeat of the Russian army, then we have no choice but to take a detour! Major General Bashar said. In the lower reaches of the Selenga River, a few dozen kilometers west of Ulan-Ude, there is a bridge, which the Russian army did not blow up. This was for the two Cossack cavalry corps of the Russian army to secure the flanks of Ulan-Ude and the channel of the Selenga River through the Guò bridge. If the Cossack cavalry corps failed, the channel of the Selenga River would have been cut off. When the time comes, the Russian army will definitely jump over the wall and blow up the bridge.

"Commander, or else

Let's do it! When the battle began, we sent a part of our forces to bypass the battlefield and take the bridge. At the same time, it was also possible to block the retreat of these two Cossack regiments of the Russian army. Let them have no way to escape! Major General Li Zhuo said.

"Good! Let the 2nd Cavalry Brigade draw two cavalry battalions out! As soon as the battle begins, they set off! Major General Bashar, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Corps, said.

At 9 a.m., the 3rd Cavalry Corps and the 2nd and 5th Cossack Corps of the Russian army met. To be precise, it was the 3rd Cavalry Corps that put on the defensive. The 9th Cavalry Brigade and the 0th Cavalry Brigade were ready, and 24 20-mm heavy mortars and 24 75-mm infantry guns of the two brigades had already built artillery positions, and the shells were piled up like a hill. In front of the cavalry, there were 20 heavy machine guns and 60 light and medium mortars lined up. On the flanks, there were the 1st Cavalry Brigade and the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, of which the 2nd Cavalry Brigade had drawn two cavalry battalions, which had already made a large circle from a distance, ready to seize the bridge over the Selenga River.

"General Dimitri, cowardly Chinese, they did not dare to attack us, but put on a defensive formation. These cowards are not qualified cavalrymen at all. Let our people teach them what kind of cavalry is a qualified cavalry! "The commander of the 5th Cossack Regiment of the Russian Army is a middle-aged man with a big beard.

"Haha! True, only our brave Cossack cavalry, a real cavalryman. These cowardly Chinese are only worthy of us to lead horses. Did they think that with some heavy machine guns and artillery, they would be able to stop the heroic Cossack cavalry? We will let them arrive, is it their machine guns and cannons, or the sabres in our hands! Major General Dimitri also looked arrogant, and did not take the Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army in his eyes at all. In their coming, this kind of hiding behind machine guns and artillery could not be considered real cavalry at all, but nothing more than infantry on horseback.

"General Dimitry, then let my 5th Cossack Regiment teach some of these cowardly Chinese a lesson, let them see the power of real cavalry!" said the commander of the 5th Cossack Regiment.

"Good! Then the 5th Cossack Regiment attacked! I really hope that the Chinese will not be scared of diapers. Major General Dimitri laughed.

"Cossack warriors, charge, use the sabers in your hands to harvest the lives of those cowardly yellow-skinned monkeys, and let them see the power of real cavalry!" The commander of the 5th Cossack regiment, raising his saber in his hand, shouted loudly.

"Ulla! Ulla! The soldiers of the 5th Cossack Regiment drew their sabers and shouted frantically.

Subsequently, these brave Cossack cavalrymen began to mobilize their horses and charged the 3rd Cavalry Corps, which was five kilometers away. At the beginning, the war horse trotted, slowly, faster and faster, and soon charged at high speed. They looked crazy and fearless, ready to use the sabers in their hands to cut off the heads of the Chinese and achieve victory.

The sound of horses' hooves converges like thunder, giving people a sense of shock. However, the soldiers of the Third Cavalry Army were very calm and calm. Half a month ago, during the battle of Kyakhta, they had already learned the power of these Cossack cavalry. Perhaps, in a one-on-one fight, they are really not opponents. However, these Cossack cavalry, if they want to stupidly crash into the dense firepower and use their bodies against steel, they are looking for their own death.

"Boss, why do you think these old hairs are so stupid? Even though we have deployed so many heavy machine guns and artillery, they still dare to rush up, isn't this looking for death? A Chinese cavalryman whispered.

"Who knows? Maybe these old hairs really think they are invulnerable! ”

"Ready, fire!" After the 5th Cossack Regiment of the Russian army rushed to a point only two kilometers from the 3rd Cavalry Army, the artillery commander of the 3rd Cavalry Army gave the order to open fire. 24 20-mm heavy mortars and 24 75-mm infantry guns, deployed in the rear of the cavalry platoon, began to fire shells at maximum speed.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "One by one, the shells fell into the ranks of the Russian Cossack cavalry, and shrapnel flew sideways, harvesting the lives of the cavalrymen one by one. Some of the war horses were killed and fell on the way to attack at once, and the cavalry on their backs were also thrown out, and then they were trampled into meat sauce by the high-speed war horses charging behind.

Despite the fierce artillery fire, the Cossack cavalry turned a blind eye and maintained a charging formation. They believed that as long as they rushed over and rushed into the ranks of the Chinese cavalry, then the artillery of the Chinese cavalry would be useless, and then the brave Cossack cavalry would be able to achieve victory.
