208 Siege 1

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will set off immediately!" This time Zhao Yun did not stop Timur, the cavalry, and the swift action is their greatest reliance, the kind of cavalry that is like lightning and wind, the eagle on the grassland, and the cavalry who is good at long-distance running, is the real Mongolian cavalry......

The entire Far East is thousands of miles in circumference, and the place is big enough, and this is the real battlefield of cavalry! Zhao Yun began to slowly realize the true meaning of this sentence how big the heart is, how big the stage is.

Thirty kilometers south of the city of Tengda, the former commander-in-chief of the Soviet Russian enemy, Faydinov, and the deputy commander-in-chief, Matveyev, held the wine jug and faced the "crackling" burning fire frame together, silent.

The two of them had full command of three road protection armies, more than 30,000 allied troops of Soviet Russia and the Far Eastern Republic, and more than 100,000 white Russian troops. In the future, as long as there are no major mistakes, with the credit of this time, it is absolutely no problem to be a military commander.

But the two who have a worry-free future are not happy on their faces. Outside the tent, it snowed heavily, and although the temperature inside the tent had risen a lot, it was still cold. "Brother, do you think we're winning or losing now?" Faydinov was the first to break the silence in the tent.

Matviev looked up and said with a smile, "Of course it won." ā€

"We're just going to stay here? Fight with the White Russian army on the opposite side? Faitinov asked rhetorically.

Matveev knew what he was thinking, it was better to be able to fight with white knives and red knives on the battlefield than to sit in the tent all day and wait, "Dude, our order is to expel this group of white Russian troops to the north, judging from the current situation, we have completed the task given to us by the military district." As long as they don't go south for a day, we can even ensure the safety of our army's rear, as for the victory or defeat you said, since we have completed the mission, do you say we have lost? ā€

Faydinov smiled bitterly, "But I've always felt restless lately, the other side has more than 100,000 people, how much does the daily consumption be, and our consumption of 30,000 people has already made the rear transport team rush in the snow day and night, so how many people on the other side have to provide them with food and grass!" ā€

Matveev's brows furrowed, "I'm also more confused about this matter, but being able to make them consume more grain and grass is a good thing I can't ask for." These white Russian troops, who have been hiding everywhere like rats before, are rare to gather in front of us on such a large scale this time, to be honest, I also want to fight with them, after all, their combat power is a rabble except for a few teams that can be counted with one pair of hands, and the rest are rabble, not only for the brother's team is a military merit for nothing, even if it is a few teams around us, one to beat the three of them is rich. ā€

Thinking of the combat strength of his team, Faitinov's gloomy mood finally saw the sun, "Hahaha, indeed, they are a group of rats, otherwise, why don't they attack?" But they have not left, which is equivalent to dragging us here, in addition to the task of expelling them to the north, we also have an important task is to protect the road! At present, we are all pinned down here, and if I stab us again and blow up a few sections of the railway, it will be even more uncertain when the main artery of the Far East will be opened. ā€

When Matveev heard the word "road protection", he was also very worried, "Yes, it's a pity that there are too many scouts on the other side, and every time we intercept our scouts on the periphery, in addition to knowing that their army is still in Tengda, how many war horses and weapons are there in the rest, it's just a smear." ā€

Seeing that Faitinov was silent, Matveev would be mistaken, and thought that his words had played a certain role, and said while the iron was hot, "At present, we should be cautious, we have traveled all the way, the other party has repeatedly led us into the encirclement, and vainly gathered heavy troops to besiege us, but fortunately, our cavalry is brave and good at fighting, and only successfully escaped, and even counterattacked and ate thousands of them." But we also need to understand a truth, the situation of Tengda in front of us is not clear, it may not be another ambush circle...... To paraphrase an ancient Chinese saying, the lesson of the previous car, the teacher of the rear car! ā€

"But it's not a way to do this, tomorrow I will lead all the cavalry, and then go to explore, hoping to go deep into Tengda City and explore their old roots." Faydinov mentioned yƬ to Matveyev, of course, it was a ti yƬ, but that tone was tantamount to an order.

"It's too dangerous, you're the commander-in-chief, how can you be allowed to take risks? Or try it out with my deputy job and explore the way! Matveev was not a peaceful lord, and as soon as he heard Faitinov's suggestion, he immediately turned around and refused. Not because he wanted to seize the command of the cavalry in the army, but simply because it was too boring to drink alcohol on a snowy day.

November 1, 1922, Far East, Chita, 6 p.m.

Winter nights in the Far East always come so early, the hands of the clock have just pointed to 6 o'clock, and the sky is already completely dark. That night, the moon hid behind the clouds, and the whole field was dark and rumbling. It is in line with what is said in the book, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the following sentence is more discordant.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, a French 75 field gun on the north gate spewed out dense fireworks, and the muffled thunderous cannon sound shook the sky above the city gate.

After the cannonball was smashed, it brought a cloud of fireworks on the ground in the distance, and the orange flames seemed so bright in the dim night.

With this loud bang, "Bang! "Bang!" "Bang!" All kinds of large and small artillery pieces above the city gate and the city walls also began to fire one after another, indiscriminately attacking the outside of the city.

"Enemy attack!" This alarm no longer needs to be publicized with a password, and when they hear the sound of cannons, the defenders in Chita City consciously begin to fight in an orderly manner.

Through the death fireworks at the point of the cannonballs, the people on the city wall could vaguely see the bursts of blood mist rising.

No matter what, it's dark under the city, everyone doesn't know where the enemy is, and many people are concerned about what happened to the cannon just now. "Whew!" A flare hit the sky, illuminating the city as bright as day. Taking advantage of the fleeting light of the flare, everyone who saw the situation under the city couldn't help but gasp.

The entire city of Chita was densely packed with people, holding ladders and stepping on the snow outside the city, surging over like ants.

The explosion of the artillery shells just now smashed a group of cloud echelons besieging the city into pieces, and many charging White Russian soldiers were also provoked by shrapnel, spitting blood from their mouths and falling to the ground.

However, this did not affect the attack of the siege team in the slightest, as more people blocked the gap and continued to move forward. The widened ditch under the city has long been set up as a passage by ladders, and the guards on the city hesitated slightly, and dozens of ladders began to set up the city.

"Tutu, Tu, Tu", Ma Qinke's voice sounded, and in the charging team, someone was hit by a flying bullet, and immediately screamed and covered his wounds, in pain.

Seeing that the raid had turned into a strong attack, the White Russian team under the city also gave up "quietly entering the village, don't shoot guns", and the sound of "Ula" came and went, and suddenly the sound of killing in the city and under the city shook the sky.

"Boom!" The indiscriminate shooting of Macinks did not last long, and the old artillery in the siege team "named" them, facing these old Napoleonic guns that fired at close range. The field artillery on the city walls had to abandon those charging "cannon fodder" and began to look for these "old cannons" hiding under the dark city!

But as soon as the artillery on the city was missing the suppression of the infantry, the tide of the White Russian army immediately launched a general attack on Chita City, and it seemed that the main direction of attack of the White Russian army was in all directions.

The sound of guns continued, and the two sides fought for less than half an hour, and the city was already filled with gunsmoke, and the dazzling gunsmoke made the eyes of the Soviet and Russian soldiers unable to open their eyes.

Although the rifles used a new type of smokeless gunpowder at this time, the corrosive gunpowder unique to "Shuilianzhu" still could not avoid the large amount of smoke produced after the shooting, but these smokes had dissipated at this moment, which greatly affected the sight of shooting at the head of the city. The White Russian army took the opportunity to attack the city, and for a while the city fell into a white-knuckle battle.

"Boom" suddenly erupted with a loud noise, which shook everyone in the city and under the city for a while. I saw that the gunpowder smoke at the head of the city had not been extinguished, and there was new smoke coming out of the city, and the blank smoke was billowing on the whole Chita City, and the smell of gunpowder smoke was full of stinging smell.

"The southern wall is falling!"

"The enemy is in the city!"

The commander of the city sent people to inquire about the news, and all kinds of shouts in the city told everyone what had happened.

To the south of the city, at the lower end of the city wall, the moat there is the narrowest part of the entire city wall, and the White Russian army has already filled it up once in the previous attack, and from there it broke through and attacked the city.

It was there that the corpses of the White Russian army were even piled up into a hill. The blood that flowed out of the moat also dyed the water of the surrounding moat red. Although the guide was cleaned after the war, the red mark on the city wall still remained on it, and those who watched it were shocked.

As soon as the explosion occurred, Chita's defender Rashevic had already run to the southern gate, and in the face of an unexpected enemy, Rashevic was already panicking at the moment. Prior to this, Rashevich placed his four battalions on the city walls in four directions, and he took a battalion and a reinforced company to sit in the city. After the first massive attack on the North Gate, Rashevich did not hesitate to send a battalion to reinforce it. In Lashevich's heart, it is expected that even if the other party is too much, there will be no more, there are two battalions of troops enough to hold out until tomorrow day, and then organize the people and militia in the city to block the enemy back, Chita is not the first day to be attacked, since the war between Japan and Russia, it has been raided by the Japanese many times, and last month, Chita has a record of resisting the attack of tens of thousands of troops of Belarus.

But when there was a loud bang on the southern wall, Rashevic could not sit still, and immediately rushed here with the last reinforcement company at hand.
