Chapter 30: Kyakhta's Surrender
The Tsarist Russian army, which was less than 230,000 troops, struggled to hold back in the position under the attack of nearly 50,000 troops from China.
It's so exciting, so exciting, so exciting, I never thought that one day I would go out of the country to fight the enemy, long live the Empire! These are the thoughts of the Chinese soldiers.
The excited Chinese soldiers seemed to have seen the scene of being cheered by the people after returning to China, which was the glory of the soldier's life.
And unlike the Chinese soldiers, the Tsarist Russian soldiers now basically look like their fathers and mothers are dead, because the Chinese army is attacking, and the territory of the empire is not safe, they never dreamed that Huaxia would be so bold.
When Major General Yuris learned of the attack of the Chinese Empire, he immediately ran to the telegraph operator to ask them to send the news back to China, and also sent a copy to Grand Duke Nicholas, asking him to pay attention to the conspiracy of the Chinese Empire.
The battle continued, and the Chinese army had the upper hand at the beginning due to the surprise attack combined with advanced weapons and large numbers. Tsarist Russia rushed to the war, but because of the war facilities that had been built before, they did not collapse at the touch of a touch like the Russian troops in Serwusu before.
"Dada~~~"
"Bang~Bang~"
"Boom~~~"
The roar of machine guns, rifles, cannons and tanks mingle to form a beautiful death song.
The Russian army has begun to show signs of retreat under the blows of the Chinese tanks, and the positions here have not been renovated recently, and they are still the positions that have been used for many years, and they cannot defend against the Chinese tanks at all.
The Chinese tanks easily crossed those narrow trenches to deal a strong blow to the Tsarist Russia, and the Russian army was only defeated because they could not stop the tanks of the Chinese Empire.
"The general is not good, the soldiers on the front line simply cannot withstand the tank forces of Huaxia, and our trenches are so small that these tanks can easily cross the trenches.
And we don't have many mines and grenades, you know, should we retreat?" Kyakhta's defenders, Welsh Lieutenant Colonel, said very cautiously.
Major General Yuris thought for a while and then said: "Take out all the grenades and mines, and go together to resist the Chinese army, now the only way is to retreat, I really don't know where we are going to retreat, time is too tight." ”
When he had finished speaking, he looked at the map and was thinking, and the Welsh Lieutenant Colonel listened and immediately went to give orders.
After thinking about it for a while, he sighed, the Huaxia Empire is really powerful, according to the current situation, the Huaxia army will attack the imperial army in the Wulianghai region from three directions, and it is very likely that it wants to compete with the imperial reinforcements there, which is really an excellent idea.
"You go and get them ready, I'm going to withdraw to Nebuchu, I can't hold it here, go pack up your things!" Major General Yuris shouted to the other officers next to him.
These officers were also very depressed after hearing this, they had only withdrawn from the trading city last night, and they couldn't imagine that they would have to retreat again, they were simply exhausted. Although they complained in their hearts, they had to do what they were ordered for the sake of their own lives, and the retreat was in line with their ideas in a way.
After these officers went to make arrangements, Major General Yuris also went out of his camp to the front line to observe the situation, and it was expected that he would be able to hold out for how long.
As soon as Yuris stepped out of the camp he saw a soldier hurrying towards him, so he stopped and waited for the soldier to arrive.
"Report ...... Report to the general, the airship troops of Huaxia are coming, and the city is in chaos, and there is chaos everywhere. The soldier said as he stretched out his hand to the sky.
Yuris looked in the direction the soldier was pointing, and sure enough, there were ten Chinese airships approaching Kyakhta, which stunned him.
If the Huaxia Empire really bombs here, it will be over, and he still has a trace of luck before thinking that the Huaxia Empire will not bomb here, after all, there are many imperial nobles here, and once it is bombed, the empire will be completely offended.
As he ran, Yuris shouted to the nearby soldiers: "Let the soldiers in the city maintain order, and there must be no chaos at this time, so that the citizens can quickly find a place to hide." If anyone dares to take advantage of the opportunity to do all those things that are stealing, I will arrest them all, and some are to quickly hide the supplies so that the soldiers who are about to retreat will speed up. ”
Yuris must hurry to stop the chaos, otherwise it will be impossible to retreat, and he must persuade these big businessmen.
After a while, he arrived in the city, the chaos continued, and the people had been watching the tragic situation of the bombing of the trading city, after all, Kyakhta and the trading city were not far away, so they were so afraid of Huaxia's airship.
When groups of soldiers took to the streets to maintain order, the chaos began to calm down, and the big businessmen were invited to the city hall by the soldiers.
"Now that everyone knows the situation, this place can no longer be defended, the Huaxia Empire is simply crazy, they actually entered the empire to attack. I have already made the decision to retreat to Nebuchu, we are not Huaxia's opponent at all, think about the tragic situation on the other side, please come with us to Nebuchu for your own safety. Yuris said straight to the point, he didn't want to waste too much time here, and he was already unhappy with the separation of people to maintain order.
A group of people did not speak, and they were not unaware of the current situation, and retreating seemed to be a good choice, but they were not sure whether the army of Nebuchu Huaxia would continue to pursue them.
"Will Nebuchu also be attacked by the Huaxia Empire?"
"Probably not, the purpose of the Huaxia Empire is obvious, their purpose is still Wulianghai, after all, it is their main battlefield, and Nebuchu is not their purpose yet." Yuris said firmly.
After hearing this, many merchants thought about it, and quickly nodded their heads and said that they would follow the army to Nebuchu.
"Boom~~~"
The explosion outside became more and more dense, and you didn't have to think about it to know that it was Huaxia's airship force arriving.
After the airship unit arrived in the sky over Kyakhta, it did not rush to bomb the bustling city, but constantly looked for targets over the Russian positions to drop bombs.
One by one, the Russian military facilities were blown up, and there were no air defense facilities in the positions here, so a large number of Russian soldiers were killed and wounded, and the combat strength of the Russian army was constantly weakened.
With the help of the airship troops, the Huaxia army quickly broke through the Russian army's defense line, and the battlefield was full of Russian troops scurrying around, and they were basically unable to form an army.
"Commander, will you let them go this time? The people of the airship unit said that the Russian army in Kyakhta was preparing to retreat, and the destination was most likely Nebuchu, and it was estimated that someone inside had already guessed our intentions. ”
"Hmph, if you want to leave this time, it's just a dream, let the airship troops go to the city to bomb and guard the passage to Nebuchu. There is also a way to do everything possible to get rid of the Russian troops on the position, and then encircle Kyakhta. ”
After the great rout, the Russian army showed signs of large-scale surrender, and groups of Russian troops threw their guns and raised their hands in surrender, which also reduced the time of the Chinese army.
The troops outside were quickly cleared out, and the airship units were bombing at their intended destinations.
Major General Yuris was sitting quietly in his office alone at this time, the situation had already exceeded his expectations, and now there was no chance to retreat, and there were only less than 10,000 Russian troops in the city.
In such a situation, there is no point in resisting again, it only increases casualties, and these merchants also persuaded Yuris to surrender, and the Chinese Empire should not deal with them much, after all, the international practice of preferential treatment of prisoners is still very credible.
After a while, the Russian army in Kyakhta raised the white flag and surrendered, and the merchants of Kyakhta who surrendered to the Russian army breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't have to worry about their lives.
After the surrender of the Russian army, the Chinese army soon received Kyakhta, and after entering Kyakhta, the Chinese army first asked the Russian army to hand over the officials of Outer Mongolia, as well as the merchants who bought and sold the city and those Russian troops who participated in the massacre of Chinese merchants.
Major General Yuris handed it over without saying a word, and if he didn't hand it over, the Huaxia army would also ask according to the mouths of other Russian troops, so it was better to use this to curry favor with Huaxia, after all, he was not involved in the original matter.
These people will be pressed back to the empire by the Chinese army for a public trial, which can be regarded as an explanation for the merchants who died tragically in the trading city.
The Tsar was very angry with the telegrams sent back by Major General Yuris, and I don't know how many of those precious items were broken.
The tsar did not expect that the Chinese Empire would actually step into his territory, and he was dancing and scolding with a red nose as if his wife had been violated.
"Damn yellow monkey, declare war, I'm going to declare war on that lowly yellow monkey! If you dare to invade my territory, I will make them pay! Tsar Nicholas II roared angrily.
"I'm going to increase my troops, 300,000 more troops, I'm going to level the imperial capital of the Yellow Monkey, bastard!"
The ministers next to him were all in a cold sweat, and His Majesty's temper was committed again, who knew what crazy things would be done.
"Your Majesty is angry, it is not appropriate to declare war at this time, our preparations are not ready, and Germany is still watching." The back of the Minister of War was already soaked, and whoever dared to speak out now would be to bear the wrath of the Tsar.
"Bastard, are you still from the Empire? How can you be inclined to those yellow monkeys, the empire will be afraid that they will not succeed, declare war, I have decided to declare war, and no one can stop me! "When Nicholas II saw someone coming out, he instantly used him as a punching bag.
The people present did not dare to speak out, and they went to stop the tsar to try, and they could basically figure out the tsar's temper in the current position. As for the Minister of War coming out to speak, one is because he has a big responsibility for this war, and he can still relieve the anger of the tsar by being scolded, and the other is that war should not be declared this time, and if war is declared, it means that the two countries are completely in confrontation, and it will not stop until one side surrenders.
If you don't declare war, you can negotiate peace with Huaxia at any time, and withdraw from the battlefield at any time, and the nature of declaring war is different.
