The Soviet-Mongolian army that participated in the battle was about 24,000 men, and a contingent of 4,000 Mongol emperors was left in Baganor on the east bank of the Khulun River because of their negative attitude because of their opposition to the decisive battle with the Chechen tribe. Neiman only asked them to keep it safe, and he was not worried that they would give precious grain and grass to the Chechen people anyway.

The Mongol army on the side of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army, like the Chechen department, is also a hodgepodge, and what can be fought is the Xie Jingjin detachment and the Choibalshan detachment of the Mongolian People's Army, so Neiman arranged them on both flanks, let them each lead a Mongol army of nearly 10,000 people, and built an unusually strong camp on the left and right of Zargrad Khan.

They arrived here early because they were cavalry, and by the time the Russian infantry entered the city, the construction of their large camp was almost finished.

Neyman's Soviet-Mongol army lined up to the east, with Sheikin on the left flank, seven regiments of his own 35th Infantry Division in the center, and Choibalsan on the right flank. The entire front stretched for almost 4 kilometers and occupied several crossings into the mountains.

Neiman's battle plan was very clear, the Mongol cavalry was best at circling in circles, and the infantry positions were often disrupted from behind and knocked apart. Therefore, it was planned to use the mountains behind it, defend on the spot, lure the Chechen army to attack, and then hit the middle of it with artillery, and destroy the forward with a dense rain of bullets, so that the rear army would be routed.

In this battle, Zhao Yun knew that he was a second sword, and let him command that is, to send these Mongols on the road, so he entrusted the command to Timur before the war.

Timur's prototype was a very steady general, as a Mongol, he understood the power of the Mongol cavalry, so he paid great attention to the choice of terrain.

The mountainous area west of Zargrad Khan was the nemesis of the cavalry, and Timur still knew about it.

Therefore, in his plans, the capture of Zargret Khan was not planned at all. What to do if it is occupied? Is it an offensive and defensive battle with the infantry? Or let the cavalry go into the mountains and be a target for guns?

Seeing that the Soviet-Mongolian army was in formation at Zargrad Khan, did not rush forward, and protected their flanks and backs tightly, Timur knew that this battle had been fought.

In order to prevent the artillery of the Russians, Timur ordered to set up camp about 10 kilometers from the city, and the Chechen army was arranged in 2 columns according to the custom, each column was 4 rows, heavily armed in the front and lightly armed in the rear, and the entire front was about 5 kilometers long.

After all, Timur's team was almost twice as large as the other side.

Neiman, who was watching with a telescope from the low walls of Zargret Khan, was also very troubled to see that the other party had arranged the team in the most popular line formation before the First World War.

This tactic is very old, and it also has a name called "sit-down warfare". That is, it is hard to consume materials and grind time.

But if you fight hard, the Soviet Russian army will defeat the Mongol army in a one-on-one, one-on-two situation, it will be absolutely no problem, but the losses will be larger. But the problem now is that the losses must not be too large, and after the battle, the Mongols have to go back to Siberia to relieve the siege of Chita!

As for fighting materials, although the Soviet Russian army is short of grain and grass, it has more storage than the Mongols, so usually the Mongols do not dare to put this kind of fighting and consumption formation.

But now the location has been changed, the Russians are not here to see the scenery, and there are still a lot of things to do in Siberia! After this battle, I have to travel hundreds of miles to Manchuria! Materials are also relatively important.

The battlefield is changing in a flash!

Now the enemy situation has changed, if you want to retreat, you can't retreat, the Mongolian People's Party army this time came no less than 4,000 infantry, and 8,000 people in their own army are also infantry, although there are mules and horses, but if you retreat, don't forget that there is snow everywhere now, the traffic on the road is extremely inconvenient, and when the enemy pursues on the way to retreat, all the artillery in the army has to be left, and half of these infantry can keep up with the pace of their retreat, then it is considered luck.

What did Moscow do with the generals who lost half of their subordinates? Neiman shuddered suddenly!

"Dig trenches! Dig trenches for me! "The Nee Manches drove the soldiers who had just rested to dig up the hard frozen soil!

Dealing with cavalry or line infantry in a row on the steppe can only rely on the tactics of being a big soldier in the past, trench warfare!

"Hope it works!" Neiman muttered in his mind.

January 6th.

The sky that had been cloudy for more than ten days finally cleared, but the temperature outside was not warm at all, and it was still very cold. How cold is it? In literary and artistic terms, tears are like ice crystals. In the words of the sling, peeing is like an icicle.

The grassland is still a grassland, that is, it is all covered by snow, and the war horse is also struggling, let alone walking on it, and every step forward has to do a big action of inserting and pulling out.

Time was precious to Neyman, who, after many inspections of the front, saw that the gap between the center of the Chechen army's front and the two flanks was a little large and loose.

Immediately seize the opportunity and order Xie Jingjin to lead 3,000 cavalry to launch a tentative attack.

When Timur heard the shouts of slaughter coming out of the tent of the Chinese army, he saw 3,000 Mongol cavalry rushing to the junction of the center and left flank of the Chechen army's front and launching a fierce attack on the infantry of the 3,000 servant army in front of him.

These 3,000 Mongolian cavalry are different from the Soviet Russian cavalry except for the horses, not the kind of European tall horses but short Mongolian horses, but the clothing and equipment on their bodies are the same as the Soviet Russian cavalry. Although there was no flag, it goes without saying that this must be the backbone of the Mongolian People's Party army, and only a fully Russified team can give the Soviet Russian cavalry equipment.

And the team that can be worthy of Lao Maozi's careful construction is indeed elite, and in the process of charging, it was placed in a conical formation, and all the knights on the horse raised their guns to shoot, and the bullets rained down for a while.

Cavalry vs. infantry!

On the left flank were the servant army and the Sainsanda and the miscellaneous armies of the tribes, numbering 20,000 men, which looked like they were overwhelmed for a while, but in addition to the cavalry, there were more than 6,000 soldiers who were infantry. In terms of numbers, they were much larger than the Mongolian People's Party troops who came to charge the battle, but they were far inferior in weapons and military qualities.

The three thousand servants who rushed forward on the left flank rushed towards them as soon as they saw the first wave of attack from the other side, and many of them turned pale, but no one turned and fled.

One of the training that Timur often gave them was to stand in line and let the cavalry horses charge. Not a real impact, of course, but a whistling of cavalry past them, and if someone left the team and fled, it was the baton that served.

As a result, on the first day, the servants almost revolted, and at first they thought they were going to slaughter them!

Thankfully, there were officers standing at the front of the group and stopping them at the slightest confusion, but on the first day of training they almost fell to their stomachs.

After a few times of practice, basically no one is beaten with a military stick anymore. When they encountered the cavalry attack, they all understood a truth and could do it, they must not retreat, once they retreated, they would chase the ducks, and they would be cut down by the cavalry. At that time, there was no need to run over the cavalry, as long as the runner outran to beat the others.

Looking at the immovable left flank of the Chechen army, the cavalry commander who charged under Xie Jingjin almost thought that he had been hit.

"Could it be that the elite of the other party is pretending to be deliberately luring us to the bait? However, although the other party is neatly dressed, their weapons are also too poor.

No matter what, the plan remains the same and continues to rush! The cavalry commander looked at the thousands of cavalry behind him, and knew that there was no turning back when he opened the bow, so he could only bite the bullet.

A servant army consisting of most of the people who were begging for a living in Siberia could withstand such a high-intensity charge, but the left flank was not all trained servant troops at the moment. Behind the servant army, the 4,000 men and horses of Saiyin Shanda and the more than 4,000 men and horses of the eastern Mongolian tribes, who had never seen such a formation, would scatter in all directions in fright, stirring up chaos on the left flank.

This civil strife even with the servant army began to be unable to resist, the first column slowly retreated, if it were not for the Chechen army formation lined up in 2 columns, Xie Jingjin's Western Mongolian cavalry would have formed a key breakthrough here in one fell swoop.

The routs on the left flank were scattered all over the battlefield, and some of them were moving closer to the Chinese army, and Timur gave the order to kill them. The chaotic army is the most likely to break up its own ranks. On the battlefield, there is no need to be soft-hearted.

The Chechen soldiers of the Chinese army shouted, "Escapees, kill!" "Get back to your post!"

But these people were like a flock of sheep that had blown up their nests, and countless people rushed over with their heads bored, and immediately drove away the stragglers who drove them naked or scattered.

At this time, Jiya Saiyin had already rushed to the left flank of the Chinese army and witnessed the chaotic scene with his own eyes.

Gritting his teeth, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Pass on the order of Lord Timur, and shoot anyone who attacks the large formation of the Chinese army!" ”

In the blink of an eye, the rout had reached a distance of less than 100 meters in front of them, a short distance that would take a few seconds for a horse.

But as fate would have it, they couldn't finish this journey.

"Shoot!" Jiya Saiyin closed his eyes and silently gave the order. He knew that if he didn't block these acquaintances of the Eastern Mongolian tribes on weekdays, then the Chinese army would not be able to keep it.

A burst of machine guns swept by, and the seventy or eighty Eastern Mongolian cavalry that had fled in front fell instantly.

Many people in the Chechen Ministry shed tears, these are brothers who drink and fight on weekdays!

However, the effect was also immediate, and in an instant, the routed team stopped charging, and the hundreds of Eastern Mongolian cavalry behind did not dare to rush towards the Chinese army.

Some of the routers who were strafed were only shot, but did not die on the spot, and they cried out in a heart-rending cry that pierced their eardrums.

Ji Ya Saiyin was determined not to look at them, and continued to order, "Those who have escaped from the battle, kill!" ”

These Mongolian slippery heads slowly groped their way towards the Russian army, they have lived on horseback since childhood, they have several ways to get the other party's frightened war horse, it really can't be dismounted to fight, a harassment on the excuse of the war horse frightened, want to mix up like before. In Timur it was impossible.

The Chechen Khan army saw that the Timurid army next to them did not blink a moment of murder, and couldn't help but stay away from them.

No one wants to get too close to the law enforcement team on the battlefield, in case they are misunderstood, but it will be a game over.

As the 3,000 Western Mongolian cavalry opened a gap on the left flank, the 7,000 or 8,000 infantry contingents composed of the People's Party troops who came to reinforce them from all over the country also roared and followed.

When the Mongol cavalry inserted into the left flank of the Chechen army, the right flank of the Soviet-Mongolian army, Choibalsan, also pulled the ranks out.

"Looks like our opponent is in a hurry, huh? So soon he made a desperate bet, wanting to break through the left flank of our army in one fell swoop, and took out all the Mongol troops in his hands at once. Timur, who was watching the battle in the Chinese army, said tepidly to several generals around him.

"My lord, let's get on!" Everyone stepped forward to ask for battle. If they were afraid before, but now their brother forces are in danger, so everyone can't help but hesitate and be afraid.
