For the sake of prudence, Grand Duke Nicholas transferred 50,000 troops near Nebuchu to empty trade for the back route, while he did not move the troops in Vladivostok and Sakhalin, one was sent by the tsar to send a telegram saying that there would be reinforcements to support Outer Mongolia, and the other was to guard against Japan.

Grand Duke Nicholas is now in a very heavy mood, because he already knows who his opponent is this time, and he does not dare to take Jiang Fangzhen lightly, Jiang Fangzhen has incomparably great power in the military of the Chinese Empire, and it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people.

Jiang Fangzhen can have this position is not imaginary, but really rely on merit and strength to sit up, his military talent is not only admired in the Chinese Empire, but even in the international praise is very great, if there is someone in China who can compare with him, only Cai Yi and the young emperor can compare with him.

In the face of such a powerful character, Grand Duke Nikolai was very nervous and excited, and every move had to be thought about for a long time before he started, for fear that he would lose all the games in one step.

Grand Duke Nikolai looked at the map in front of him and pondered, he was thinking about how the Chinese army would attack next, it would definitely not be brute, so he had to deal with it carefully.

Suddenly, he looked at Uriya Sutai as if he thought of something, and immediately asked people to contact the Tsarist army in Uriya Sutai, and sent a telegram urging the army of Maicheng to enter the Kulen garrison before the Chinese army reached Kulen, and let them hold out for five days.

Ma Qi rushed to the destination with the Third Army and the Northwest Cavalry, they had to stop the Russian army and the Outer Mongolian rebels in Uriya Sutai, and then solve the enemy's direct penetration into the Ulianghai area in one fell swoop.

Ma Qi came to Outer Mongolia this time with sufficient preparations, their Ma Jiajun is very familiar with the terrain and topography of Outer Mongolia, and even some traffic arteries have to be studied in depth, after all, they and Lao Maozi have not fought once or twice.

Ma Qi had already given a map of Outer Mongolia to the military department when he changed banners, and it is estimated that the military department is also using his map, which is very useful according to the current situation.

Ma Qi, who was sitting in the car, was holding a map of Outer Mongolia and looking at it carefully, there were two routes from Uriya Sutai to Kulen, one was through Albayhre, and the other was through Checherleg, so he wanted to set up positions in these two places to meet the Russian army and the rebels in Outer Mongolia.

In order to make sure that nothing was wrong, he first asked the cavalry to speed up to reconnoiter whether the Russian army had already passed these two locations, after all, the journey from Serwusu to these two places was much later than that of Uriya Sutai, and the Russian army was likely to arrive before them.

The Chinese soldiers who marched on the steppe for the first time were not very fast, or even very slow, because they were easily restricted by swamps and other places, and the transportation was very convenient, and they stopped to drink water and eat, after all, the consumption of long journeys was very large.

The cavalry rushed to these two places with less than five days' dry rations and water, the grassland is the world of the cavalry, and what they yearn for most is to gallop in the vast and boundless grassland, this is their paradise.

The cavalry was divided into two parts, namely 20,000 in Checherleg and 10,000 in Alkhre, and he believed that there was an 80% chance that the enemy would rush to Kulen through Checherleg, after all, the traffic after Checherleg was very convenient, and there were many convenient roads to Kulen.

Just when the Third Army was heading to its destination, the First and Second Armies went straight to Kulen after passing through Saiyin Shangde, and the road from Saiyin Shangde to Kulen was very good, after all, during the Manchu Dynasty, they all passed through here to Kulen, and the traffic was still good, so there were tanks and big trucks carrying soldiers running wildly all the way.

There is also a part of the back of the tanks and trucks that use three-wheeled military motorcycles to carry soldiers, and before the Chinese New Year, Huaxia produced its own motorcycles, and then began mass production after modification, so far there are nearly 5,000 military three-wheeled motorcycles in service with the First Group Army, and the rest have not established such mobile units in time due to the lack of productivity.

The consequence of high motorization is the consumption of a large amount of fuel, and logistics and supplies sometimes cannot keep up, but fortunately, with the help of Pan Asia Oil and the Rockefeller family, China is now not short of oil.

The mobile troops of the first and second armies were about 50,000 people rushing to the front, and there were still 150,000 infantry running behind, and the infantry mobile troops had to slow down in order to wait for the infantry mobile troops, after all, the logistics could not keep up with them and they could not continue to move forward, not to mention that the general headquarters did not order their mobile troops to rush to Kulen at full speed.

The next night, when Duan Qirui was resting, Duan Qirui and Yan Xishan met, Yan Xishan invited Ying to the battlefield by himself, otherwise he would not be the commander-in-chief of the First Army.

"Hello Commander Yan, I haven't seen you for a long time and I'm very worried, and now you and I are colleagues again, haha, life is really changeable!" Duan Qirui said nostalgically.

Yan Xishan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Duan Qirui to be so polite, "Commander Duan hasn't seen you for a long time, fortunately, this is Deputy Commander Xu, look up for a long time." ”

Yan Xishan looked at Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng behind him and was secretly happy in his heart, quite a few people used the Beiyang government to oppress him, and the identity and status of both of them were greater than him, and now he has surpassed him in military position and status, can he not be happy.

At this time, Jiang Fangzhen came in with a staff officer, "Okay, the war is important, now is not the time for you to catch up, wait until you finish talking about the old things." ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief." Duan Qirui and the three of them shouted in unison, who is Jiang Fangzhen, who is above 10,000 people under one person, and who is like a brother to His Majesty, they don't dare to be disobedient.

Jiang Fangzhen nodded and led them to the rectangular table in the center of the tent, on which was a huge sand table, which simulated the topography of Outer Mongolia, and was filled with red and blue flags.

I saw Jiang Fangzhen holding the baton and said: "According to the map we have collected, we only have two routes of march now, one is to attack from Nalaiha, and the other is to attack from Zongmod. ”

He paused and drew two routes with his baton to Kulen, and then added: "Order the First Army to attack from Zonmod, and the Second Army to attack from Nareha." When the First Army reached the vicinity of Kulen, it dug trenches behind it to defend it, and then attacked after it had been prepared, while the Second Army attacked Kulen directly. ”

"The commander-in-chief built the trenches to prevent attacks from behind? This ......" Yan Xishan asked with a frown, but he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Do what I order, there is naturally a plan for the headquarters here, if you don't carry out the order, military law will deal with it." Jiang Fangzhen said expressionlessly, "Order the Third Army, if it does not intercept the enemy's troops, directly turn to Uriya Sutai and Kobdo, and finally enter the Wulianghai area and wait for the arrival of a large force."

The logistics department of each army group must ensure the supply of the army, and the army group must report on the situation of your battle at any time, and try to capture the Russian army. It was learned from the intelligence services that the situation was complicated by the fact that the Russian army of 300,000 troops had come to the Far East, and that the empire would soon have 200,000 warriors to reinforce it. ”

Jiang Fangzhen is so strict because Qin Yu said that he wants to spread the war to Tsarist Russia and transfer the battlefield from Outer Mongolia to Tsarist Russia, which is not so easy, as long as the Trans-Siberian Railway is still operating normally, Tsarist Russia will continue to send troops and materials to the Far East battlefield.

Although Huaxia looks very good now, Huaxia will suffer great losses if it really starts a protracted war, after all, the war is about logistics, and it depends on whose logistics are in place.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, carry out the order immediately."

After Yan Xishan and several people finished speaking in unison, after Jiang Fangzhen waved his hand, they immediately ran to implement the order, and the duty of a soldier is to obey the order.

Just when the army of the Chinese Empire was carrying out the intense distribution work, two voices appeared in Kulun, one was that the Chinese Empire would defeat Russia and hoped to negotiate peace with China, and the other was that Russia and the Great Mongolia would definitely be able to defeat the evil Chinese Empire and defend Kulen to the death.

In fact, Jebtsundamba is very afraid of death, otherwise he would not carry out separatist activities under the threat of Tsarist Russia, and now the Chinese Empire is about to come to Kulun, and it is a lie to those ignorant believers to say that he is not afraid.

But they still have a glimmer of hope for Tsarist Russia, after all, their status and power are now greater than before they were independent, and who would not like power.

No matter what the people in Kulen thought, after three days of frantic rushing, the 1st and 2nd armies of China finally arrived at the fork point mentioned by Jiang Fangzhen, that is, the place where the two group armies marched separately, and the two armies also advanced separately here.

The Third Army was also preparing to reach the place where the Russian army in Uriya and Sutai was intercepted, and the cavalry had already arrived at the designated target one step ahead of the target and waited for the arrival of the army.

The Russian army also entered Kulen at this time, and as soon as they entered Kulen, they directly asked for control of Kulen from Outer Mongolia, and then arranged the battlefield, and they had to hold on to Kulen for a few days before reinforcements were available.

The Tsarist soldiers who came in front of the trade did not take the Chinese army to heart, but when they came into contact with their compatriots who had fled, they did not dare to despise the army of the Chinese Empire.

They were very worried about the 200,000 Chinese army that came to them, although they thought in their hearts that the strength of Huaxia was very poor, but the army that could defeat the British would not be bad there, and if they didn't do it, they would have to die Cullen.

Just when the Russian army was desperately arranging the battlefield near Kulen, the two major army groups had already rushed to the outskirts of Kulen, and it would only take another half an hour to see Kulen.

At this time, it was already night, and the Huaxia army, which had been rushing frantically for a long time, was stationed in the outermost part of the outskirts of the city to rest, and they were not yet fit to start a war immediately.

ps: alas......
