Chapter 103: The Battle of the Kuibyshev Region (Part II)
After the Chinese cavalry successfully cut into the Tsarist Russian army, the Russian army immediately panicked, and the Chinese cavalry took the opportunity to kill the Tsarist army that was resisting its own army at the front.
"TMD, how did the Huaxia cavalry come in, you bunch of pig heads, hurry up and kill them, and let the soldiers go to help the soldiers in front!" Irry scolded in a cold sweat. Now he is a little glad that he is at the rear, otherwise it is very likely that the Huaxia cavalry will be killed directly.
Under the reprimand of a group of officers, the Russian army finally reacted and began to counterattack the Chinese cavalry. After the Chinese cavalry rushed into the Tsarist army, the speed dropped significantly, and the Tsarist Russian army standing behind and shooting was also easy to hit the Chinese cavalry, and the Chinese cavalry was frantically shooting the Tsarist soldiers at the same time.
The Chinese cavalry continued to suffer casualties, but they did not retreat, and after the bullets in their hands ran out, they directly used the long sword in their hands to kill the enemy, and after more than ten minutes, the tired Chinese cavalry retreated without saying a word.
After the toss of the Chinese cavalry, the entire Tsarist army was very panicked, and it took a while to recover, but at this time, the large army of the Chinese army had already launched a fierce white-edged battle with the soldiers at the front of the Tsarist army.
"Withdraw, hurry up!" Airray no longer had the idea of fighting at this time, if the Huaxia cavalry replenished ammunition and rested before coming to attack again, his losses would definitely be greater, and he would even take himself on board.
The Tsarist army retreated while fighting back, they were already afraid of the Chinese cavalry, even if there were only about 10,000 cavalry, the new soldiers were not as good as the veterans, and once there was a panic, if they were not dealt with quickly, they would lead to a rout.
Less than two hours after contact with the Chinese army, the Russian army hastily withdrew, while the Chinese army pursued Airri's army until they left the Kuibyshev area.
At this time, where did the Tsarist Russian army still have any fighting morale, even the people who Brunov planted in this team felt that they could not continue, and they had to retreat as much as possible, otherwise in the end, even if the Chinese army was severely damaged, they did not know how much would be left.
In the end, the 100,000 troops of Airri lost more than 50,000 soldiers, half of which were lost during the battle, and half were lost by the Chinese army during the retreat, and the Chinese army only lost about 15,000 soldiers.
Yan Xishan only sent cavalry to pursue when the Russian army retreated, and the rest of the army rushed back to kill the Tsarist army in the middle.
At the end of Yan Xishan's side, the battle on the other side was heating up, it was the 50,000 troops led by Ma Qi to block the army of Tsarist Russia, and the leader of that army was none other than Xu Shuzheng's old opponent, Lieutenant General Ski, the commander of the former Tsarist Russian guerrilla army.
Most of the soldiers led by Lieutenant General Nick were remnants of the army of Grand Duke Nicholas, veterans who had participated in the battles in Outer Mongolia, and also fought fierce guerrilla warfare with Xu Shuzheng's army in Siberia, and there was also a Cossack cavalry of more than 10,000, sixty percent of which were recruits.
Ma Qi's army only had 5,000 cavalry in the northwest, and there were a lot of heavy machine guns, and the strength of Lieutenant General Bisky's army could basically be said to be in the middle of the middle.
The two sides fought fiercely for more than three hours without deciding the winner, but Lieutenant General Sky's army slowly began to gain the upper hand with the advantage of the number of troops, but there was nothing to be done with the Chinese army.
The Tsarist army in the middle of the road was very wolf at this time, the 200,000 troops were beaten back by more than 100,000 Chinese troops, and the Tsarist Russian army could not prevent its defeat with all its efforts, and the two armies they had been waiting for had not appeared for so long, and they could not support it.
"Report to the commander, the army led by His Excellency Lieutenant General Irry has been defeated by the enemy, and the enemy has sent two armies of 50,000 each to intercept our army's two large armies, and the enemy army encountered by Lieutenant General Irry has a strong cavalry, which is not an opponent of the enemy." The communications soldier sent by Airry was drenched in sweat, and he drove his horse to Brunov and jumped off his horse and panted.
"Cavalry? The enemy army even has cavalry, doesn't it mean that the enemy's cavalry is very weak, how can it not even resist this. Brunov asked with a shocked look on his face, "Stupid, a bunch of bastards, what about Lieutenant General Airry, where is the army now?" ”
"Your Excellency the Lieutenant General has now retreated and is coming towards us." The communications soldier said with his head down.
"Your Excellency, the enemy's cavalry is not weak, in the battle of Outer Mongolia, the enemy's cavalry once fought with the most elite Cossack cavalry of the empire, and its strength is not weaker than the imperial cavalry, even Grand Duke Nikolai did not dare to despise them." An officer who participated in the war between Tsarist Russia and Outer Mongolia said seriously. It's not like the officer is talking to Lieutenant General Airry, it's just telling the truth.
As soon as the officer's words were finished, another cavalryman rode quickly in front of Brunov, "Report, Lieutenant General Sky's army is fighting fiercely with the enemy army who intercepted them, and after several hours of fighting, it has not been able to break through the enemy's interception, and it cannot support the army in the middle in a short time, the report is over!" ”
After hearing this, Brunov almost vomited blood, his face turned pale, the middle army was defeated and retreated, and the other two armies were also intercepted, which meant that his middle army had no support and could not resist the enemy's crazy attack at all.
"Retreat, order the whole army to retreat, let the 100,000 troops behind support our retreat, the enemy army is too strong, it's my surprise!" Brunov gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, as if he had made up his mind, "Even if you retreat, the enemy will pay the price, I am not so easy to bully, aim all the artillery at those enemy tank units and those attacking enemy soldiers, and cover the retreat of the army." I'm not happy, and you don't want to be happy! ”
If he doesn't retreat, he can't help it, he doesn't want all his hundreds of thousands of troops to be here, in the final analysis, he still underestimated the strength of the Huaxia army, otherwise he would not attack under the pressure of the empire.
The artillery of the Tsarist army in the middle was all aimed at the Chinese army, and they gave up the Chinese artillery and went all out to cover the retreat of their army.
"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, the commander ordered to retreat back to the Omsk region, and the army of the middle route will also retreat!"
Lieutenant General Airri, who had arrived at the center army in ten minutes, suddenly received an order to retreat from Brunov, and at the same time he was shocked, he quickly turned around and wanted to run towards the Omsk region on four legs.
Several Tsarist Russian soldiers frantically drove their horses to Lieutenant General Sky, and shouted from afar: "I want to see Lieutenant General Sky, I have an urgent order from the commander to report!" ”
These soldiers were quickly brought by the soldiers of the Szki army to Lieutenant General Szki, who was directing the army in battle.
"Report, the commander ordered His Excellency the Lieutenant General to retreat immediately and withdraw to the Omsk region!"
"What, it's impossible to retreat so quickly, what the hell is going on?" Lieutenant General Skiy asked sharply, grabbing the soldier by the collar. He couldn't have imagined how His Excellency the Commander would retreat, didn't they have the upper hand now, as long as he was given a little time, he would be able to inflict heavy losses on the enemy forces in front of him even if they were not annihilated, why retreat?
"Lieutenant General Sky, the enemy forces in the center are retreating, Lieutenant General Airry's army has been defeated, the enemy army he has encountered is much stronger than the strength you have encountered, His Excellency Lieutenant General Airry is retreating. Without your support, the mid-lane army simply won't be able to hold out for long, and the enemy's strength is too strong! The soldiers who arrived to report the news lowered their heads and whispered.
"Irrey, who has more than enough success and more than defeat, shouldn't let him lead that army, I'll retreat after a while, and give the enemy a few more blows before retreating, hahaha!" Lieutenant General Sky said with a hideous face, "Pass my order, call the enemy to death, and retreat in half an hour!" ”
Lieutenant General Sky's army launched an even more fierce attack against Ma Qi's army, while the Chinese army gritted its teeth to resist.
"Commander, what's wrong with the enemy, all of a sudden it's like they've changed, are they going to eat us?" Standing with Ma Qi, he carefully stared at the battlefield with a telescope, and the adjutant of the Tsarist Russian army asked puzzledly.
"It seems that the enemy army is about to retreat, and the enemy army who occupies such a big advantage will definitely not be willing to receive the order to retreat suddenly, they are the last madness. The Commander-in-Chief and Commander Yan seemed to have succeeded, and the enemy's frontal attack could not have lasted long without the support of these two armies. Ma Qi bit his lip and said, "Immediately let the soldiers get ready, wait a minute, give me a good pursuit of the enemy army, don't be too embarrassed." ”
"Yes, Commander!"
Lieutenant General Ski's army attacked frantically, and the artillery shells were smashed at the Chinese army as if they didn't want money, as if they would not leave until they ran out of bullets and shells in their hands. Ma Qi's army also attacked the enemy desperately, and after the officers' explanations, the soldiers also knew that this was the last madness of the enemy army after preparing to retreat.
Half an hour later, Lieutenant General Ski retreated punctually, while Ma Qi retreated after chasing his army for a while.
Lieutenant General Ski's 100,000-strong army was just over 40,000 left, and Ma Qi was even more miserable, with less than 20,000 of the 50,000 troops left and only about 2,000 cavalry.
The middle of the Tsarist Russia was also retreating at this time, with the full support of artillery, the resistance of the retreating Tsarist Russian army was reduced a lot, and they blocked the Chinese army while retreating, and the 100,000 troops behind the rear also began to work behind.
Seeing that the Tsarist army was about to retreat, the Chinese artillery stopped shelling the artillery of the Tsarist army, and shifted the target to the retreating Tsarist soldiers, and one shell after another flew towards the Tsarist soldiers.
The Tsarist army in the middle was crazy after retreating, while the Chinese army wanted to prevent the retreat of the Tsarist army as much as possible, in the final analysis, both sides were trying to destroy each other's living forces at this time.
Soon the Tsarist army left a pile of corpses and retreated, and the Chinese army gave up after a little pursuit, and did not pursue frantically.
The Chinese army, which had been fighting for most of the day, was also very tired, the ammunition of the tanks was exhausted, the fuel was almost gone, and the Tsarist army still had a 100,000 army that did not participate in the war behind the mat, and it would be worth the loss if it was chasing down.
The attack of the Tsarist Russian army ended in a crushing defeat, they lost more than 200,000 troops, and nearly two-thirds of the tanks were damaged.
The Chinese army also lost nearly 110,000 troops, which was very heavy for them with only more than 200,000 troops, and when the army escorting the spaceship rushed back to support, they did not dare to attack the Tsarist army lightly.
