Could it be that the Chinese have all put on wings?

When the sound of gunfire and artillery echoed in the sky above Ulan-Ude, when the Chinese army attacked the city and the troops around it from all directions, the Russians who were preparing to worship all looked in horror at the smoke of gunpowder rising from around the city and the gunfire that kept coming into their ears.

The war took a new turn on this day, and even the most ignorant people, when they saw the Chinese troops pouring into the city, when they saw the Russian soldiers, their hands raised in horror like Chinese surrender.

People are horrified to realize that, whatever Chinese came about, the more pressing reality is now ...... Hundreds of thousands of Russian troops were surrounded by the Chinese, and their rear roads were cut off.

The battle broke out very quickly and ended faster, in fact, for the Russian soldiers in the barracks, they had become prisoners before they even realized the start of the war, and nearly 50,000 Russian officers and soldiers only resisted for a few hours before they surrendered in a panic.

"God, how can this be!"

The panicked Lie Hill looked at the soldiers in horror, watching them surrender to the Chinese with their hands held high.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing, and as a Russian, he had stubbornly believed, believed that Russia would win the war.

But what he saw in front of him subverted his cognition, in just a few hours, the city fell, and the army surrendered, how could this be?

There was no one to give Hill an answer now, he just watched with trepidation, watching from the front of the hotel as the yellow-skinned "Tatars" flexed their teeth and claws in the streets. In the eyes of Levisir. These "Tatars" are not very tall. But they all looked really strong and powerful, and the most fortunate thing was probably that they said that the civilization they showed showed did not humiliate pedestrians on the streets, let alone rob them, which always made Column Hill breathe a sigh of relief.

"Could it be that the Chinese really flew over?"

Seeing those soldiers, Liehill thought again, although he had worried that the Chinese would come from the direction of Mongolia. But the words of the officers convinced him that the Chinese could not solve the logistical problems, at least until the railway was built.

"A small troop attack should be fine, right?"

Thinking so about Lie Hill, looking at the Chinese on the street, a thought suddenly popped into her heart...... Maybe it's a military adventure!

Yes, it must be!

Although he was not listed as a soldier, in the explanations of others, he knew very well that there were only a few simple dirt roads from Mongolia to Ulan-Ude, and there was no modern transportation at all, how could a large army reach the city in a short time?

Perhaps the Chinese sent their cavalry. Martyr Hill thought of those Cossacks, and in Kuropatkin's corps there were also a large number of cavalry. Those Cossacks, but the best soldiers of the Russian Empire.

Maybe there is still a chance to counterattack, after all, there are only a small number of Chinese troops here, and the reason why the defenders of the city were defeated by the Chinese is very simple.

"Because they were caught off guard!"

Far away in Chita's headquarters, in the face of the panicked generals, Sleepy Lotkin surprisingly kept his composure, in fact, there was no one to help him except Zhengding now.

The rear was cut off by an unknown number of enemy forces, and the main forces of the front army were encircled, which was a disaster in itself.

"The reason why the defenders of Ulan-Ude did not play any role was because everyone there believed that it was impossible for the Chinese to attack from Mongolia, which is military common sense after all!"

Kuropatkin said this, indeed, this is indeed military common sense, just a few hours ago, if someone had asked the generals here! Ask them if the Chinese will launch an attack from Mongolia, cut off their retreat, and form an encirclement of the Far Eastern Front. Everyone will say impossible!

"In Mongolia there are neither railways, nor suitable water transportation, there are only primitive dirt roads, in this case, how can the Chinese attack?"

No, now the Chinese have already attacked!

The only thing to consider now is...... How to reopen this passage, repel the Chinese in Ulan-Ude, and retake the city.

"Because of this circumstance, I believe that the Chinese army attacking Ulan-Ude should have a very limited strength, probably only two or three cavalry divisions, and their logistics were maintained by the capture at Ulan-Ude."

This is a fitting explanation, and of course, it is also reasonable and convincing.

"So my plan is ......"

Looking at the frightened people, Kuropatkin continued.

"Immediately mobilize five infantry divisions, and the cavalry division wants to launch a counteroffensive against Ulan-Ude! To thwart the conspiracy of the Chinese! ”

Yes, it's a conspiracy!

In Kuropatkin's opinion, this is clearly a conspiracy, a conspiracy of the Chinese, who are trying to attack the Russian rear with small forces, creating the illusion of cutting off the rear of the Far Eastern Front! Thus creating panic in the army!

If after the news of the encirclement of the troops, Kuropatkin knew very well what the troops would fall into, then there would be chaos, and the Chinese on the other side of the Shikhala River would be able to fish in troubled waters to break through his defensive line, and then it would be a real defeat!

That's the real nightmare!

Of course, for Kuropatkin, his real strength lies in the 560,000 Russian troops in his hands, and he believes that with such the largest corps in history, it is enough to break up any attack, and as for the Chinese in the Ulan-Ude direction, there is nothing to fear!

In the trenches under the moonlight, there were faint troops marching in columns, and the overturned wheat fields were still filled with thick fog and gunsmoke white, and the steel helmets of the soldiers reflected a dull luster in the moonlight and extended in a straight line, and for a moment it was clear that human heads and rifles appeared and disappeared in the night.

"Be quiet!"

The sergeant whispered a word of advice, in the deep trenches. The roar of artillery was accompanied by the groans of the wounded soldiers.

"Quick. Fast...... Hurry up! ”

With the command. A platoon of soldiers crawled towards the blasted barbed wire 100 meters ahead, carrying wires and stakes, and they had to repair the barbed wire overnight, which was the last barrier to save their lives.

From time to time, a sergeant whispered a warning on the ground in front of the position, beware of craters in front of you, and be careful of the mines under your feet.

Barbed wire and landmines are the deadliest weapons under Ulan-Ude, and in just a few days, the Chinese army that captured the city not only built dozens of kilometers of firing lines. In addition, a large number of barbed wire fences were laid outside the pay-off line, and a large number of mines were laid. These are all sharp weapons to stop the Russians, the most deadly weapons.

The night is silent, and the wounded Chinese and Russian soldiers are not just **** wounds in the dark at this time, preparing for the next bloody battle, when these Chinese soldiers are mending the barbed wire fence on the barbed wire defense line outside Ulan-Ude, at the other end of the barbed wire, the same group of Russian soldiers in white military uniforms are crawling in the mud.

When these Russian soldiers leave the trenches, they often roll in a circle in the mud. It was as if the mud stained their white uniforms, leaving them at night. It will not become an eye-catching target.

The white uniforms allow them to hide in the snow in the winter, but now they have become a burden, especially at night, making them a target for Chinese snipers.

The mud they now deliberately roll on on their bodies provides them with good cover, and yes, they are not so conspicuous when they are on missions at night, thus reducing the chance of death.

Thousands of corpses hung in the barbed wire fences, and the barbed wire fence outside Ulan-Ude became a nightmare for the Russian army from noon on May 23, or more precisely, their place of death.

The barbed wire around the trench is not only the grid-type barbed wire that people are accustomed to, but also the roof-type barbed wire, the snake-belly barbed wire, the two rows of snake-belly barbed wire, and the three-row snake-belly barbed wire, even the simplest grid-type barbed wire, which is cleverly arranged into a net-type barbed wire, arranged into a series of barbed wire traps.

Behind this barbed wire, which is more than ten meters deep, there is a low barbed wire, which is set slightly higher than the ankle, some are barbed wire, and some are just ordinary wires.

This complex barbed wire fence has never been encountered by the Russian army, and it can even be said that it is beyond their expectations, even the barbed wire fence they laid on the banks of the Shikala River, compared with the barbed wire fence carefully constructed by the Chinese and Ulan-Ude, has become a child's thing, but it is a tool for adults. Tools for slaughter!

A nightmare is always a nightmare, and for the Russian army, they have to take down Ulan-Ude, a city that they thought they could take down with a charge before the war.

What does it mean for these Russians if three days ago they did not know the city? Now, each of them knows very well that this is not just a simple attack, but a breakout operation.

Although the Chinese have not formed a real encirclement, in fact they have fallen into the encirclement unless they are willing to break through in the direction of the Arctic Circle.

In the mud, in front of the barbed wire fence clapped with body fragments, several Russian soldiers were cutting the barbed wire with pliers, and as they cut the barbed wire hard, they cursed loudly in their hearts "vicious Chinese".

The Chinese use different barbed wire from the Russians, who use a strand of barbed wire, and the spiked iron wire they use cut from thin steel plates, which is very difficult to cut with pliers.

"Damn the Chinese!"

Cole, whose hands were cut by barbed wire, cursed the deadly barbed wire in his heart, and he had repeatedly witnessed the soldiers who fell into the barbed wire of the Chinese during the charge, and were cut by these iron tips and bled to death from countless wounds while struggling, and the screams of those people seemed to still appear in his ears.

The frightening scene made Cole even more struggling to cut the iron plates with iron tongs, but it was so difficult.

"Damn, these Chinese, how did they get the barbed wire here?"

Now for these Russian soldiers, perhaps the most puzzling thing is why the Chinese can send supplies to Ulan-Ude in a steady stream, this barbed wire fence has grown in size in the past few days, and now the Chinese are bringing in a large amount of barbed wire through the rear, yes, they can lay a tight line here.

Of course, the real deadliest threat is not these barbed wires, but the growing number of Chinese troops, at the beginning, many people thought that there were only 20,000 or 30,000 Chinese in front of them, but now there are 230,000 Chinese troops, forming a siege on them in all directions, and even two Chinese armies at the Shikara River.

"Ahh

The pain of his hand being cut again made Cole can't help but shout, and when he stabbed, his hand couldn't help but slam into the wire, and before he Oshima realized that something was wrong, there was a loud sound between the barbed wire.

It is a warning bell made by the Chinese with canned food boxes!

Cans of gravel are hanging from barbed wire, making a sound at the slightest touch. It's like a wind chime, it's simple, and it's efficient!

"I've already taken off ......"

As soon as the thought came to him, Cole found himself in a light.

In the dark night, the bright light of the searchlight, like a huge lightsaber, slid back and forth, flickering, one white light stopped and shook slightly, and another white light came one after another At the intersection of them, Cole and the others, who were cutting barbed wire before, were reflected in this lamppost.

They were instantly exposed, just looking at the light in horror!

The next moment, after the dull roar of artillery and the loud sound of explosions, the shells scattered in the positions of the Northeast Army, while the dense creaking of machine guns and guns in the machine gun positions and guard posts of the Northeast Army continued to sound slowly, roaring, shouting and roaring, passing over the heads of the soldiers who were mending the barbed wire, and the loud noise of the large-caliber mortars converged.

In the midst of this gunfire, Cole and his comrades were either hit by machine guns or killed by shrapnel, and became completely targeted.

At this time, the Russian soldiers who were breaking the barbed wire could only lie in the crater, curled up hard, while secretly praying to God, praying to God, praying God for blessing.

But now God seemed to be abandoning them, abandoning these so-called "God's people," and after the gunfire had ceased, the silence of heaven and earth had once again returned, except for the occasional groans of pain from wounded soldiers could be heard from time to time between the barbed wire......
