"Your Majesty, this is today's latest battle report! The Third Army has surrounded Kyakhta and has eliminated more than 40,000 Russian troops, and the remaining 50,000 or so Russian troops have become turtles in the urn and can be eliminated in a few days. (44 books!) There is no hospital. , the 48th Division of the First Army has captured Hailan Pao and is currently sweeping the surrounding Russian troops. The 13th and 54th Divisions are attacking Boli and are expected to be able to conquer it in two days. The main forces of the Second Army defeated the Russian army on the border and is currently marching towards Shuangchengzi. The Fifth Army went out of the country from Huocheng and was attacking Almaty, and the 1st Cavalry Army was expected to launch an offensive on Almaty in two days! In the imperial palace, in Wang Yuze's study, Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo reported the first day's war report to Wang Yuze. From all the battlefields, it's good. How could it be that the Third Army in the northern battlefield annihilated tens of thousands of enemies on the first day, and it was a complete victory!

"Haha! Very good! To generate electricity to the front line, we are required to make persistent efforts and create more brilliance! Wang Yuze laughed. He was very satisfied with the results of the first day. In particular, the Third Army can be said to have made a good start!

"Your Majesty, the northern battlefield, at the moment the Russian army in Ulan-Ude is moving south, trying to rescue the Russian army in the encircled Kyakhta. The Third Army tried to encircle the point and send reinforcements, first destroy the reinforcements sent by Ulan-Ude, and then encircle and annihilate the Russian army in Kyakhta! Jiang Xingguo said.

"For specific command, it is enough to have the commanders of each battlefield decide, they are more professional than me!" Wang Yuze said with a smile. Skipping the command is prone to problems. Isn't a certain chairman of the National People's Congress who often meddles in the command of the front line and is often defeated in the end? Although Wang Yuze graduated from the Army Academy, he is really not this material when it comes to commanding wars. is still there, there are enough professional generals, there is no need for him to worry about it, he just needs to grasp the general direction.

"Yes, Majesty, I see!" Jiang Xingguo said. Compared with Xiong Wu and Cai Yun, he is also a little inferior in his ability to command the army in combat, but he is relatively good at logistics management, as well as the management of troop establishment, military expenses, and personnel. At the same time, he is also the president of the Imperial Army University, the title of duke, and he is definitely a high-ranking person in the Empire.

In Kulen, the Minister of War Cai Yun, who is in charge of commanding the northern battlefield, is also giving the latest orders. According to the reinforcements sent by Ulan-Ude and Irkutsk, two army groups and one cavalry corps of the Chinese Army in the northern battlefield are also being adjusted. In Kyakhta, the 61st Division moved to the north and took over the defense of the 3rd Cavalry Corps to the north of Kyakhta. To the west of Kyakhta, the cavalry brigade of the Third Army, which was also temporarily transferred to the command of the Third Cavalry Army, was ready to hit enough troops to eat the Cossack corps moving south from Ulan-Ude in one fell swoop.

In the evening, Ulan-Ude is bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the scenery is very good. However, Lieutenant General Vladimir, the commander of the Russian army in Ulan-Ude, is indeed very bored. The squadron will attack today, beyond his imagination, and at the same time, the strength of the squadron makes him unbelievable. Originally, he thought that the 100,000 Russian troops in Kyakhta would be able to resist the attack of the squadron, but now that the situation is not good!

"Turgenev's stupid pig, he has a hundred thousand troops, and he can't resist the attack of the Chinese, it's really incompetent!" Lieutenant General Vladimir scolded. If the Russian army in Kyakhta is defeated, it will inevitably lead to the erosion of the entire occupation of Ulan-Ude and even East Siberia, and at that time, it is very likely that this account will be counted on his head. In this case, not only will he not want to be transferred back to Moscow, but God will be able not to be sent to a military tribunal. In his heart, all the blame was placed on Turgenev and the defenders of Kyakhta.

"General, Kyakhta's telegram! Now Kyakhta was surrounded by the Chinese, and the 6th Cossack Cavalry Division tried to break through the Chinese blockade and make the defenders of Kyakhta retreat. However, the 6th Cossack Cavalry Division was defeated with heavy losses. Now the encirclement of the Chinese has been formed. The defenders of Kyakhta are in trouble this time! Lieutenant General Vladimir's adjutant said with some concern.

"Those damn stupid pigs!" Lieutenant General Vladimir cursed hatefully. He paced back and forth in the office, frantic, but there was no solution.

"Where is the Ninth Cossack Regiment?" Lieutenant General Vladimir asked. In the morning, after receiving the news that Kyakhta was attacked, he sent the Ninth Cossack Regiment south to rescue the defenders of Kyakhta, and now that the Chinese are too strong, 20,000 Cossack cavalry, it seems that it will not play much role! The most important thing is that there were only 50,000 troops in the whole of Ulan-Ude, and after sending 20,000 Cossack cavalry, only 30,000 troops remained. In the event of a heavy defeat of the 9th Cossack Regiment, the Ulan-Ude garrison became a big problem.

"The 9th Cossack Regiment, less than sixty kilometers from Kyakhta, according to General Anatoly's telegram, they will be able to launch an attack on the squadron encircling Kyakhta tomorrow morning and rescue the besieged army!" The adjutant said.

"Humph! Do you believe they can beat the squadron? Lieutenant General Vladimir sneered.

"General, the combat power of the Chinese is beyond our belief. As far as I know, the Chinese have already committed a cavalry corps on the battlefield, a full 40,000 people. Today's battle of the 6th Cossack Cavalry Division has already shown the strength of the Chinese cavalry. Plus the Chinese have another army of almost 200,000 in Kyakhta, so I think the 9th Cossack Regiment is likely to fail! The adjutant hesitated, then said.

"That's what I thought, too. Now, the battle situation in Kyakhta has been completely eroded, and investing more troops can only increase losses. Order General Anatoly, withdraw to Ulan-Ude! Lieutenant General Vladimir said. With 20,000 Cossack cavalry, Ulan-Ude's defense could be greatly strengthened, so that he would be safer.

The adjutant was suddenly sweating profusely, if the 9th Cossack Regiment was withdrawn, then the defenders of Kyakhta would be dead!

It was here that a junior officer sent a telegram in, and Adjutant One, was relieved.

"General, Grand Duke Nikolai has called, asking us to send a favorable army to Kyakhta and relieve the defenders of Kyakhta!" The adjutant said.

"What? And send troops? Do you want Ulan-Ude anymore? Vladimir barked like a cat that had been stepped on its tail.

"Then, General, are we going to follow the orders of the Grand Duke?" The adjutant asked.

"No! Ulan-Ude's defenses are already very weak, and they can't disperse their forces anymore! Lieutenant General Vladimir said stubbornly. In the end, he decided that the mission of the 9th Cossack Regiment would remain unchanged and continue to move south to rescue the Russian troops in Kyakhta, however, Ulan-Ude would not send any more troops. Relying only on 30,000 men to guard Ulan-Ude, he was already very worried.

Irkutsk, after receiving the failure of the defenders of Kyakhta to break through and have fallen into a heavy encirclement, Grand Duke Nikolai was also nervous. If the 100,000 Russian troops in Kyakhta are annihilated, it will be a huge blow to the entire war situation in Eastern Siberia. Due to the constraints of transportation capacity, the speed of the Russian army's build-up to Eastern Siberia is very slow, and if this continues, the Russian army's disadvantage in terms of strength will become more and more severe. At the same time, Grand Duke Nikolai realized that the appointment of Lieutenant-General Vladimir to the commander of the Dulan-Ude region seemed to be a complete mistake. If you could appoint a talented person, maybe it wouldn't be where it is now. It's just that now that it's like this, there's no way, and changing generals on the spot will cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Grand Duke Nikolai could only hope that the reinforcements sent would arrive at Ulan-Ude as soon as possible, strengthen the defenses there, and block the squadron in the area east of Lake Baikal.

In the city, the commander of the Third Army, Lieutenant General Chen Anguo, and the chief of staff, Major General Liu Dingyi, are analyzing the latest battle situation. Starter 4th Chinese Reich 9

"The 3rd Cavalry Corps was ready, and the 9th and 10th Cavalry Brigades were facing the Russians' 20,000 Cossack cavalry head-on. The 11th and 12th Cavalry Brigades were outflanked on both sides, and the cavalry brigades of the group army served as reserves. Concentrate so many troops and deal with 20,000 Cossack cavalry, there should be no problem! Lieutenant General Chen Anguo said.

"I think so too. The Russian Cossack cavalry, although very fierce, was not at all to be feared in the face of our powerful firepower. On the contrary, I am worried that the offensive on Kyakhta will cause a lot of casualties. Although the small city of Kyakhta was almost destroyed in our shelling, the Russian army obviously made a lot of preparations. If you forcibly attack the city, I am afraid that you will pay a huge price. The war has only just begun, and if the losses are too large, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to future battles. For example, the Fourth Division, if the losses are too large, will have a great impact on the combat strength of the entire group army! Major General Liu Dingyi, Chief of Staff, said.
