Chapter 805: Collapse

More than 20,000 Central Asian soldiers were guarded in the corners of the camp, exuding a monstrous resentment, and the horses were confiscated for two days' food, and how could they cross the desert, but their weapons were temporarily confiscated and would not be distributed until dark, which made it impossible to riot.

Before you know it, it's noon.

In the camp, the cooking smoke was faint, and the Russian soldiers were in groups of three or five, cooking on the fire, enjoying the rare hot food, and gradually, the atmosphere began to liven, and Vyazevsky also grabbed the cooked beef sticks and gnawed them in the dark.

Perhaps because of the temptation of good food, surveillance of the NLD camp was relaxed.

"Your Excellency, the Chinese are mobilizing their troops!" At that moment, a horse galloped into the camp and shouted in horror.

"What?" Vyazelsky was still chewing beef in his mouth, brushed and stood up, and the secretary hurriedly handed over the binoculars.

Sure enough, the Chinese army was indeed moving, and it was obvious that it was divided into four parts, except for one part that remained in place, and the other three, each equipped with artillery, was slowly approaching its own camp.

At this moment, everyone lost their appetite and their faces became extremely ugly.

"Oh my God!" Hadenov shouted in despair: "The Chinese must have come to cut off our retreat, how can these damn yellow monkeys be so vicious?" I should have known that I should have moved last night! ”

"Your Excellency Vyazelsky, fight with them, otherwise once the Chinese are allowed to set up camp near our camp, we can only be trapped alive!" Colonel Rogreeve followed.

Vyazelski's heart was also full of remorse, and last night was indeed the best time to follow. But the whole army fought for a day, tired and hungry. The mind is like paste, who would have thought of that. It can be said that the time is fleeting.

The Chinese army is still about 20 kilometers away from their camp, and if they go now, the Chinese army may not be able to catch up, but the baggage cannot be taken away, and in the ice and snow, the consequences of an army losing its baggage are very terrifying, and the vast majority of people will be frozen to death at night, even if the Russians are cold-resistant, it is useless.

The so-called Russians are hardy. It is nothing more than the pain of the cold, which is more tolerant, has more fat on the body, and can last a little longer, but it does not mean that the Russians can survive in a snowy night without the help of cold equipment.

"When the whole army attacks, we must tear apart the encirclement of the Chinese!" Vyazelsky waved his arms and shouted, at this time, he could only make a desperate bet.

The good atmosphere of the lunch was completely ruined, and not only the Russian army. Even the Central Asians mobilized, after all, no matter how harsh the Russians were, they promised to distribute food for two days and fled into the desert. Everyone relied on their luck and tore each other apart, and there was always someone who could get out alive. And the Chinese kill people when they see them, and if they fall into the hands of the Chinese, they will die and have no life.

The disadvantage of the Russian army lies in the disadvantage of weapons. The result of defending the camp can only be blown to pieces by the enemy's artillery fire. Groups of soldiers had to take the initiative to attack the Chinese army, and the flames of war were ignited again.

On the battlefield, the artillery rumbled, the guns continued, and the Russian army organized wave after wave of offensives, in fact, if it was just a breakthrough, they would have run away a long time ago, but their goal was not to break through, but to defeat the Chinese army, which had about five divisions.

The Russian army only has a dozen artillery pieces, armed with mini guns, flintlock pistols, arquebuses and bows and arrows, while the Chinese army, all 54 rifles, has a desperate number of artillery, which is obviously a hellish task.

The Russian army is crazy, Lao Maozi's tenacious will is undoubtedly displayed, even if he knows that he is sent to death, he is not afraid to rush forward, the Democratic Alliance army is firing, firing, firing again, the fierce battle lasted until the evening, the Russian army left more than 30,000 corpses, and when the sky was about to be completely dark, it stopped the senseless attack, and finally gave up.

The three Chinese armies seized the northern wilderness area of the Russian army, separated by ten kilometers from the village, and there were constantly convoys transporting camp tents and supplies from the rear, which was equivalent to cutting off the road for the Russian army to flee north, as Vyazevsky himself said, the east is Ili, it is pointless to go back, and it is not possible to reach Fort Kolpa directly, it must pass through a long and narrow valley road, if the Russian army goes east, China can divide its troops to capture Fort Kolpa, waiting for them in Khorgos.

In the west, there is a division left by the Chinese army to intercept it, and in the south is the Ili Snow Mountain.

If it weren't for the winter, the Russian army could still give up the baggage and flee, but it was defeated in the winter when the Russian army was best at it, until it was surrounded, and it was difficult to move an inch while guarding the cold materials, which is undoubtedly a great irony, and also due to climate reasons, the goal of the Democratic Alliance Army is very simple, not afraid of you running, but you are not allowed to take the baggage away!

There was an atmosphere of despair in the camp, and everyone knew that they couldn't run away, unless they moved from winter to the Spring Festival, is this possible? It's only December.

Military discipline was completely abolished, drunkenness, brawls, and even murder with guns abounded, and commanders at all levels were deaf and allowed the chaos in the barracks to become more and more intense.

What is the use of punishment and shooting? It's nothing more than a matter of living a few more days and a few days less, can you escape with good military discipline? It is better to let the soldiers forget the torment of waiting for death in indulgence before the Chinese army launches a general offensive, not to mention that no one wants to pay attention to it, a person who is about to die, and still worry about others, I am afraid that the Holy Mother is not so great.

As the days passed, some people relieved their stress through brawls and slaughters, while others could not stand the torment and went insane, or slaughtered their companions for no reason, or ran into the depths of the vast snowfield screaming.

Six days later, on December 12, Vyazelsky was drinking alone in a tent, with an empty vodka bottle on the table, and a small half-bottle of vodka in his hand, full of alcohol, his nose was red, and his body was shaking.

"Your Excellency General, Your Excellency General!" A secretary opened the curtain and walked in, as if to report something, but looking at Vyazelsky's drunken appearance, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It's you, come, you can also take two sips, drink well, I have forgotten my troubles, I am very happy now, as happy as bathing in the holy light of God!" With a dull smile, Vyazelski walked the half bottle of wine around in front of the secretary.

The secretary's face showed a look of sympathy, he could see that Vyazelsky's spirit had collapsed and he had fallen into a decadent drunkard, but he did not mean to despise it, and even envied it, at least drunk and confused, don't pay attention to those troubles, what is the saying of the Chinese? By the way, a drunk relieves a thousand sorrows!

Smiling bitterly, the secretary remembered his intentions, opened the wine bottle and said, "Your Excellency, a Chinese army, numbering about 50,000, has appeared, and it is outflanking our camp, and it seems that a full-scale attack is about to be launched. ”

"Huh?" Vyazelsky came to his senses and muttered: "Is it coming?" That's good, I can go to God, I have to go out and see. With that, he opened the curtain and stumbled out. (To be continued.) )
