The officer known as Muto was the commander of the 23rd Wing Muto Nobuyoshi who had been defeated by the Suidong Army in Temple Street and fled to the north bank of the Heilongjiang River, and he later traveled to Siberia through Outer Mongolia, Heilongjiang, and Jilin and finally arrived in Mukden, and was appointed by the Japanese 6th Army as the brigade commander of the 3rd Brigade of the Manchurian Garrison.

After hearing Thomas's insulting words, Muto Nobuyoshi did not get angry, but got up and bowed slightly at him, "Colonel Thomas, please ask for more from the Chinese army outside the city." ”

Without looking back, he left the Joint Command, leaving Thomas alone and stunned.

Although he is a colonel of the French army, but when he was in China, he had been serving as a staff officer in the staff of the 6th Army Division, and this time he came to Siberia with General Renan to command the Czech Corps before he was appointed as the regiment commander.

Thomas, who came from a staff officer, took it for granted that the first thing to do at this moment was to draw up a complete defensive counterattack plan, and just when he was enthusiastically perfecting the battle plan with a staff officer, scouts came to report that the Chinese had withdrawn.

"The Chinese withdrew."

Thomas couldn't understand for a while, since there was a reason for the soldiers to retreat without a fight, he couldn't understand it, or one of his regimental staff officers reminded him:

"Colonel, shall we pursue it?"

"No, the Chinese are strange, I'm afraid they have a trick, let's wait and see."

A staff officer immediately spoke out against it, he believed that the Czech Legion should be conservative at this time, and should never underestimate the enemy, but in Thomas's opinion, this staff officer was a little too conservative, if it was a German or a Russian, he would definitely carefully consider whether to pursue, but now it is those obscene and timid Chinese, what is there to fear, even if you close your eyes can defeat them.

"The combat effectiveness of the squadron is low, and it cannot be compared with the Germans, even the Italians are a hundred or a thousand times stronger than them, and I order the cavalry to prepare, and I will personally lead the troops to pursue."

The reason why Thomas wants to lead his troops to pursue is that vanity is at work, since he followed General Genan to Siberia, he has been teased by his colleagues for having no record, so he can't wait to make some achievements, and then bet on their mouths, the Soviet Russian army He asked himself whether he was an opponent, but at the moment, these ** people, isn't it the credit of sending them to the door.

Kulun's so-called city gate city wall is nothing more than a low gate rammed with loess, and a low walled wall, which is acceptable to prevent thieves, but in front of the army, this kind of defense is basically unable to withstand a round of charge.

Thomas saw that the defense of the city of Cullen was so poor, and began to be a little glad that the Chinese did not forcibly attack the city, otherwise this kind of fortification, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand a round of attack, his entire regiment is cavalry, so he took half of the men and horses and more than 500 people to drive out of the city and pursue the withdrawn squadron to the north.

Unexpectedly, Thomas led his Czech cavalry regiment to chase out for half an hour and dozens of miles, but not even a shadow of the Chinese soldiers was seen.

Thomas's original excited mood began to be a little frustrated, and at the same time vigilant, these Chinese should not have some tricks, since they did not catch up with them, it is not appropriate to continue to wander outside, originally their strength in Kulen is far weaker than the Japanese, he only brought a group of men, that Muto Nobuyoshi has a whole brigade of soldiers, although they are nominally allies, but there is constant friction in private, he cooperated with the Japanese out of helplessness, General Renan made an alliance with the Japanese, The two armies worked together to deal with hostile forces throughout Siberia and Mongolia, including Malinovsky's Russian army and the Suetung army in Vladivostok.

It's just that he didn't have a chance to return to Cullen City, after a burst of sound of breaking the sky, high-explosive shells exploded in the Czech regiment, the horses were frightened, rushing wildly, the whole cavalry regiment was suddenly in chaos, Thomas was not in a good mood, in the ambush, he did not panic, but tried his best to restrain his subordinates, after some observation, Thomas now the enemy army is hidden behind the slope not far ahead.

"Don't mess up, rush over with me and level the Chinese's position."

Thomas's words worked, the soldiers who were originally in a panic, lined up in an attack formation, and went away with a whistle at a gallop, and soon, their charge met strong resistance, two Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns were pushed up the hill left and right to start work, weaving an impermeable barrage, the riders who rushed to the front were shot and fell to the ground, and in a tight period of dozens of seconds, dozens of people died, Thomas was timid, in the face of powerful fire suppression, he couldn't bear this casualty, If it is a commander with a little experience, in the face of this situation, as long as he orders the cavalry to grit his teeth and rush into the enemy position, although he will suffer heavy casualties, he will have a great chance to turn the tables.

However, Thomas was surprised, Chinese didn't seem to be as easy to bully as the legend, and it seemed to be quite difficult, so he didn't insist, but chose to retreat, and the cavalry regiment drew a beautiful arc in front of the barrage, threw down dozens of corpses, and ran towards the enemy's flank......

On the flanks, the Czech cavalry regiment was also suppressed by strong firepower, and when he tried to turn again, there were now 100 cavalry outflanked from the rear, and he only felt that the world was spinning, and it was good to be attacked by the enemy on his back and back.

It was getting late, and in the joint headquarters of Cullen City, Muto Nobuyoshi had lost his patience, and Colonel Thomas had been out of the city to pursue the Shina for a day, and he had not even returned, he had an ominous premonition, although he was very disgusted with this French colonel who liked to brag, but he was an ally of the Manchurian garrison, and he could not ignore it, and the waves of scouts sent out were all empty-handed, and there was no news about him.

It wasn't until it was dark that the men of Thomas's cavalry regiment finally returned to Cullen City, but it was not a triumphant return, only a few people fled back in groups, and the news brought back by the rout soldiers confirmed Muto Nobuyoshi's premonition, and Thomas was defeated and captured.

Muto Nobuyoshi took the opportunity to seize the defeated cavalry, and he did so to prevent news of Thomas's defeat and capture from spreading through the city of Cullen, so as to avoid unnecessary panic and rebellion by the unstables.

Eventually, the news leaked, and the remaining Czech legionnaires in the city were very dissatisfied with Muto Nobuyoshi's approach and mutinied......
