Just when the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army was fighting with the White Russians on the front, the casualty figures on both sides were skyrocketing, and countless lives were filled into this battlefield like a mill of flesh and blood. On the east bank of the Nenjiang River, it is only three or four kilometers away from the main battlefield where the fierce battle is taking place. An extremely large cavalry force has completed its assembly and is quietly passing through the ice of the Nenjiang River in the wind and snow. This cavalry has about 10,000 people, and almost all the cavalry in Jiang Jishi's hands is these. These cavalry were drawn from their respective units and temporarily formed this cavalry cluster, which was originally intended to be used to outflank the rear of the Russian army and cut off the Eastern Railway, but now it was used for a large-scale cavalry assault.

Commanding this cavalry unit were Zhang Zuolin's two old brothers, Wu Jun's 225th Champion Liusheng and Tang Yulin. One of these two was born in a bandit hunting camp, and the other was a bandit who robbed houses, but they were both proficient in cavalry combat. In the past few years, they have also commanded cavalry to defeat the Mongol tribal forces supported by the Russians or the Japanese, and they are all tiger generals in the Feng army who can fight well. In history, the cavalry troops commanded by Wu Junsheng also eliminated Guo Songling's logistics base in the "Guo Feng War", leaving Guo Songling destitute and defeated.

For today's opponent, the Russians, they were somewhat afraid, but some time ago, their cavalry units also fought with the Cossacks and Buryat cavalry, and it seems that they have not fallen behind, and it seems that these hairy men are really declining now!

Moreover, today's battle situation has once again shown that the Chinese have the upper hand, and these two "cavalry experts" know it well in their hearts. Nowadays, cavalry is not good for fighting tough battles, but it is perfect for fighting this kind of tailwind battle. Those infantry who were in chaos and did not establish a solid battle line could not resist the onslaught of tens of thousands of cavalry! It seems that this battle is the time for the two of them to make meritorious contributions...... When Jiang Jshi gave the order, he made it clear on the phone that after this battle, he would be rewarded for his merits, and if the two of them could lead the cavalry to make great achievements, Heilongjiang Province would be their territory in the future.

With such a reward, Wu Junsheng and Tang Yulin also showed their desperate strength. More than 10,000 cavalry crossed the Nenjiang River at the fastest speed. Under the cover of windy and snowy weather and night, they marched towards the flank of the Russian army. At this time, the Russian army was attracted by the unprecedented and tragic battle on the front, but even if they realized how empty their flanks were. I can't muster any strength to strengthen it now. These more than 10,000 Chinese cavalry, which is definitely not an elite cavalry, swooped silently towards the rear of the Russian army!

At a time when the Russian troops on the frontal front were in a bitter battle that bordered on despair, in their rear area. The reorganization of the Russian army, however, has already achieved some results. The White Russian officers and soldiers who were attacked during the retreat had already retreated to the area around the Fularki railway station. Of course, the formation of the troops was completely disorganized, and many officers and soldiers had discarded their weapons and huddled together empty-handed to keep warm. The shells of the squadron also fell from time to time, although they were not accurate, but they caused a certain amount of panic. But the remnants of the defeated White Russians probably exhausted their bodies in the escape just now, and now they did not flee westward again, but just sat there numbly, very resigned to fate.

The chief of staff of the White Russian Army, Major General Livyev, also came down from the European battlefield and is very experienced in picking up defeated soldiers! Their Russian army has not lost many battles in Europe! Leviev knew that for the soldiers who had fallen back in the cold winter. There's nothing more appealing than steaming hot food. So the field kitchens were set up in the shortest possible time, and each field kitchen was equipped with several loyal and reliable officers...... As long as a hungry soldier is attracted by the aroma of food, they are responsible for regrouping them into some temporary combat unit. In a few hours at most, Leviev would be able to turn tens of thousands of defeated soldiers back into an army.

At the same time, in a grove less than two kilometers from the Fularki railway station. Dozens of Japanese-style mountain artillery and field artillery have also been released. A gray-white bearded Russian artillery colonel shouted at his Russian artillerymen, who were tired like dead dogs, to transport brass shells from the train station and stack them neatly. There are also some communications corps who are laying telephone lines, one end of which is a hastily arranged artillery command post, and the other end is connected to artillery observers who are rushing to the front. In another hour, or even half an hour, at most, this powerful artillery group will be ready to work!

But right now. The soldiers of an infantry company on the perimeter guard suddenly let out a grunt. This company was also a makeshift patchwork unit, with Cossacks from Trans-Baikal, Jews from Birobidzhan, some Buryat Mongols, and even Mongols recruited from the territory of China. About a third of the soldiers do not understand Russian, and their temporary commanders do not speak Mongolian (Mongolian also has the Ryat dialect, the Korqin dialect or something, how can the average Russian ** officer figure it out?). ）。

So when the Mongols, who had grown up in the steppes, sensed the slight tremors of the snow in Guò that a large number of cavalry were approaching, they had to gesturing and reporting to their White Russian commander in a few simple Russian words. By the time the officer who had come from the western line figured out the situation, the Chinese cavalry who seemed to cover the entire snowfield had already rushed towards them with sabers and pistols, shouting!

The Russian artillery colonel was also stunned by this group of Chinese cavalry that suddenly appeared, this large area of black pressure has tens of thousands of people, not to mention the hundreds of artillery under his command, even the rout army that has not yet been reorganized in Fularji can't resist their impact, right? Is it true that General Semenov's 60,000 White Russian army will be annihilated tonight by those smokers from the East? Is the glory of the Russian Empire really going to be gone forever? Has God Almighty really abandoned the Russians?

Those desperate White Russian artillerymen did not have as many complicated ideas as this old colonel from an aristocratic background, and the battle was already over, and now it was time to avoid unnecessary sacrifices...... In the minds of them, the Russians. Losing a battle and being a prisoner is not a particularly shameful thing. In the two world wars in history, millions of Russian and Soviet prisoners were taken!

"Commander, the artillery regiment that was reported earlier had captured an old man! It was caught with people and cannons, and there was a White Russian colonel among them! ”

News of the capture of the captives was quickly sent to Wu Junsheng, who commanded the raid. Of course, this Fengjun magnate who is thick on the outside and fine on the inside knows how much credit it takes to capture a foreign colonel! You must know that China's foreign wars since the Opium War have been defeated repeatedly, let alone a colonel, even a captain has never caught one! This time, I opened a foreign meat, and when the battle is over. A national hero's hat is not to run! And this place is not far from Fularji, Lao Maozi seems to be completely defenseless, and if he works harder, he may be able to catch their commander-in-chief. This is going down in history...... In the future, whether the Republic of China is surnamed Jiang or Chang, it will not lose its status as a "three dukes", right?

Thinking of this, his brain also heated up. He drew his saber, waved it a few times, pointed in the direction of Fularji in front of him, put on a rather imposing pose, and shouted in his slurred voice (Wu Junsheng speaks with a big tongue, known as Wu Da Tongue): "Brothers. Fight with Lao Tzu again, if you can catch the white-haired general (the nickname given to Horvat by the people of the Northeast, Wu Junsheng didn't know that he had left Qiqihar at this time), reward the ocean with 10,000, and the official will be promoted to three levels! Kill! ”

……

Semenov sat in his temporary command headquarters. His face was ashen, beads of sweat were rolling down his face, and he was now completely broken, and he sat there without moving. This already knows that he has lost a qiē, if only the Nenjiang line is broken through. It is also possible that he will shrink his forces and retreat to the vicinity of the Fularji railway station. Although it is impossible to defeat the Chinese, it is still possible to seek a "political solution".

His Japanese advisor, Sadao Araki, had said to him before leaving Qiqihar: "The Great Japanese Empire very much hopes that Your Excellency can become the founder of a new country centered on Chita......"

This seems to be a good way out, but it is necessary to be the founder of a new country! Now his 60,000 Russian troops have been completely defeated, and not only the battle on the Nenjiang front line has become a complete disaster. Even their own rear was raided by the Chinese cavalry group! God, tens of thousands of cavalry assaults, do these Chinese think that it is still the era of Napoleon? How can you fight like this? It's just too outdated. But he was defeated by this backward tactic! The artillery is gone, and the defeated troops that have been gathered with great difficulty on the periphery of Fularji have been scattered again, although the stronghold of Fularji has not been lost for the time being, but it is to no avail.

Because they can no longer return to that temporary lair, the Chinese are also launching a massive infantry attack head-on while sending cavalry to copy their own rear road! They threw in at least 30,000 to 50,000 heavily armed infantry, launching round after round of onslaught like a tidal wave, and their own thousands of Cossacks simply could not resist! I had to fight and go, and finally I was surrounded by this unknown small village and waited for the last moment.

When the atmosphere was low and panicked, a staff officer of Semenov's cronies suddenly hurried in, with some complicated expressions on his face. The guy ran in but didn't speak, instead looking at the other staff officers in the headquarters who were sitting still. Semenov's mind was still spinning quite quickly, and he immediately knew the other party's intentions. He waved at the staff officers and sent them away. The two of them were the only ones left in the headquarters.

The staff officer approached Semenov and whispered: "Commander, the military envoy sent by the squadron to persuade him to surrender is our original military adviser Sadao Araki. ”

Semenov was stunned for a moment, looked at the staff officer with hesitant eyes, and asked in an inaudible voice: "Have you seen him?" What does Japanese mean......"

The staff officer also replied in the same low voice: "General, I have already met with Araki Daisa, he wants us to preserve our vitality, and he promises that the Chinese Commander-in-Chief Chiang Jishi will soon let us return to China, and the Japanese side will immediately rearm us!" ”

The meaning couldn't be clearer, the Japanese wanted Semenov to surrender to Chiang J-shi! No, surrender to Japan to be exact. Become their Japanese puppet completely! Even a fool can guess that while Japan is rearming its army, it will definitely reorganize according to Japan's needs! Who knows what this army will be reorganized into by the Japanese? But do you still have a choice? Thinking of this, Semenov just nodded silently.

……

Heilongjiang River, east bank of the Nenjiang River. On the afternoon of December 26.

The gunfire was still ringing out, as if there was no end to it. However, the real big war has ended, and now only some sporadic Russian troops are still putting up desperate resistance! Before today. I am afraid that no one in this world would have predicted that this great war between China and Russia, with the participation of 250,000 or 60,000 people. Will the winner be decided in a short, less than 24 hours, right? And it ended with a great victory for the Chinese Army, which has always shown itself as a weak country!

The top and bottom of the squadron are now all smiling that can't be concealed. There is also a confident expression that was rarely seen in the past! They have just defeated the best army in the world, the Russian Army! Although the Russian army under Semenov has some meaning of injecting water and meat, after all, it has always inherited some "steam roller" blood, right? The mainstream of their officer corps is the Russian aristocratic officer corps that has fought in the European war...... It is really unbelievable that he was defeated by the Chinese in this way!

However, the Russian prisoners of the brigade had already been escorted from the west bank of the Nen River, at least half of them were Zhenmaozi, and the rest were also tall Mongols. Most of the Chinese infantrymen who escorted them were short, black and thin, but their morale was extremely high.

On the east bank of the Nenjiang River, an unknown small railway station along the Eastern Railway is now the temporary headquarters of this victorious squadron. In the open space outside the headquarters, two military advisers dressed in khaki Japanese military uniforms, Nobuyoshi Muto and Sadao Araki. They were sitting on top of a pile of empty ammunition boxes, listening to their subordinates report to them on the casualties of the squadron.

"Your Excellency, according to the latest statistics, the First Army of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army lost 3,021 killed and 1,896 wounded. 116 missing; The new First Army suffered 1,064 killed, 556 wounded, and 58 missing; The First Anti-Russian Army in Northeast China lost 335 killed, 213 wounded, and 15 missing...... The above casualty figures do not include the cavalry that was temporarily transferred, and the casualties of the cavalry cluster have not yet been fully calculated. It is estimated that around 2,000, the total loss of ** people in this battle is about 9,500 people. ”

Muto Nobuyoshi nodded expressionlessly, this casualty figure already includes the losses from the small-scale contact battle some time ago. The Chinese wiped out at least 40,000 Russian troops at the cost of less than 10,000 people, and such a victory can only be described as a miracle! Moreover, it also greatly exceeded the expectations of him, the chief adviser of the Japanese military advisory group.

Sadao Araki frowned: "Muto-kun, do you think it's the Shina people who have become stronger, or the Russians who have become weaker?" ”

Muto Nobuyoshi looked at him meaningfully: "There are some, right?" There should be some element of luck, in the words of the Chinese, Jiang J Shi can be regarded as a lucky general. However, the main reason why he was able to achieve such a brilliant victory is probably that his opponent is too weak...... Araki-kun, you served as Semenov's adviser, do you think his army is very weak? ”

Sadao Araki shook his head: "I'm afraid that there are also factors for the Shina people to become stronger!" The Nationalist government in China expanded its army by 1.2 million to 1.3 million in just a few months, and this mobilization capacity was probably the biggest gap between them and the Beiyang government. If it were Beiyang, they wouldn't have the ability to invest nearly 200,000 troops on the Nenjiang battlefield, right? ”

Muto Nobuyoshi nodded somewhat approvingly: "And the generals of the National Government are also different from Beiyang in their attitude towards the army, they are more willing to fight than the generals of Beiyang, and they are not afraid to fight their strength, and this time it is the troops directly under the direct jurisdiction of their National Government that take the lead." ”

Araki smiled: "That's not my own strength, of course I don't feel distressed!" ”

"This is a modern national army in the true sense of the word! Of course, their power is not comparable to that of the warlord forces of the Beiyang. Muto Nobuyoshi said lightly: "The backing of the national army is the entire country and nation, and behind the warlord army is only the strength of the warlord himself...... No matter how great an individual's strength is, it cannot be compared with a country or a nation. In the Sino-Japanese War, the imperial army was a national army, and behind it was the entire Great Japanese Empire! The Huai Army and the Beiyang Fleet of the Qing State were nothing but Li Hongzhang's personal armies, and it was natural for us to defeat Li Hongzhang with the strength of one country.

The just-concluded Battle of Nenjiang was a war between Semenov and Horvat, who were on the same half of the country, and it is not surprising that they lost so ugly. ”

Speaking of this, Muto Nobuyoshi stood up, walked a few steps with a frown, suddenly stood still, and looked back at Araki: "Araki-kun, don't you think that Jiang Jishi, who was supported by the empire, is another Li Hongzhang, another Semenov?" Can he single-handedly fight against the whole of China? ”

Hearing this, Sadao Araki's face turned blue. Muto Nobuyoshi sighed softly, looked at Sadao Araki and said, "Araki-kun, the empire's continental policy may need to be changed!" ”

Sadao Araki was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Do you want to give up your natural power over Mengman?" This is absolutely unacceptable to the entire Army! ”

Muto glanced at Araki, snorted coldly, and said, "Of course, it's not to give up, but to use a more ingenious way to let China and Russia consume each other!" The empire wants to be a fisherman......"!!
