Li Zhenqing did not rest for the night in Kulen, and pursued the 1st Mixed Brigade all the way north, and he had to catch up with them before the Muto Brigade could join up with the Czech Legion, and fight a decisive battle, but for a whole day, except for the Japanese soldiers who were scattered behind, he still did not catch up with them.

At noon the next day, Li Zhenqing still did not catch the tail of the Muto Brigade, but he accidentally intercepted a mysterious white officer, the white officer was very nervous when he was first arrested, and then he seemed to show something, and kept saying something in Russian, how could the soldiers who arrested him were illiterate and coarse, how could they understand what it meant, several soldiers were thinking about executing it at that time, but at the last moment the company commander where several soldiers were located appeared, thinking that the matter involving Lao Maozi was very complicated, and it was appropriate to report it to the brigade commander first to make a decision.

In this way, the old Maozi officer was brought to Li Zhenqing.

Li Zhenqing is fluent in Russian, and the officer asked nervously:

"You are General Wu's subordinates, the Suidong Army."

"Yes, I'm Li Zhenqing of the Suidong Army."

"Oh my God, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's great, I'm a major in the Red Army of Soviet Russia......"

Li Zhenqing smiled secretly in his heart, this guy must be an old officer who joined the Soviet Russian army not long ago, but after listening to the old Maozi officer's upside-down explanation, his face immediately changed.

"Who sent you?"

The officer replied in a trembling voice.

"I was appointed by Comrade Malinovsky to ask General Wu for assistance......"

Li Zhenqing interrupted his rambling and asked directly:

"The White Russian army has launched a general attack on you."

Li Zhenqing motioned to the adjutant to spread out the map on the grass, and he squatted next to the map and looked at it.

"You are in Chita, and if the White Russians want to attack you, there are only two roads, one is to march from the south of Lake Baikal to Petrovsk, and the other is to go south from the north in the direction of the Trans-Siberian Railway."

Li Zhenqing gestured with his finger on the map as he spoke, when suddenly his hand stopped.

"Are they fighting from both sides?" In this way, the Soviet Russian Red Army in Chita was trapped alive and dead, unable to advance or retreat, and had to fight to the death, but from the perspective of the strength of both sides, it was more defeated, or even had no chance of winning, after all, Malinovsky lost contact with the central center of Moscow and Russia due to the rise of Kolchak in Omsk, and all supplies were cut off, and as time went on, their situation became more and more difficult.

The old Maozi officer looked at Li Zhenqing in disbelief, his analysis was like seeing with his own eyes, the White Russian army had indeed launched a large-scale surprise attack on Chita from the north and south, so that when the signs were wrong, it was impossible to withdraw, which was also a direct reason for Malinovsky's misjudgment of the combat intentions of the White Russian army.

"If the White Bandit Army launched a surprise attack a week ago, we still have the strength to fight, the bandits in the Amur Region are making a lot of trouble, Comrade Malinovsky sent a whole brigade to suppress the bandits, so there is only one brigade left in Chita, and the White Bandit Army has moved tens of thousands of troops and nearly two divisions at this critical moment to encircle Chita, the Red Army is now very passive, as a last resort, Malinovsky sent more than ten people to the south to ask General Wu for help, but I don't know how many people can safely break through the White Bandit Army's defense line."

The officer of the major, suddenly, added: "In the last day in the White Bandit Army besieging Chita, the Eastern Faces have reportedly been Japanese who are collaborating with the White Bandits, and these people may have a brigade ...... in size."

Li Zhenqing chuckled in his heart, looking at the Japanese army in the entire Outer Mongolia region that could have a brigade, who else could there be besides Muto Nobuyoshi, this matter was tricky, and it seemed that the plan to catch up with him halfway and eliminate it was completely bankrupt.

When the old Maozi officer saw Li Zhenqing wearing a colonel's uniform, he mistakenly thought that he was just a regiment commander, and since he had already made it clear that he wanted to ask for help, it was naturally incumbent on him to rescue friendly troops, but this colonel regiment commander was obviously afraid of something, otherwise why he had been muttering, but as soon as he thought about it, the major officer also understood what effect he could have with the strength of a mere regiment, and it was just a drizzle for Comrade Malinovsky in Chita, and it would not even change the situation of the battle in the slightest.

Thinking of this, the major's eyes, which were still very eager, immediately turned cold, originally he thought that he was very scared in his heart when he fell into the hands of the Japanese, so he was extremely nervous, but when he learned that this group of people was their Chinese ally, his contempt immediately took over, and as a Russian ** officer, he had a premonition that he suddenly occupied the commanding heights, and he didn't take Colonel Li in his eyes at all.

Li Zhenqing was weighing the pros and cons, and he didn't notice that the old Maozi officer beside him, who was still trembling before, had completed a leap from low to high in his heart.

He had exchanged views with Wu Xiaoliang when he was out, and he tried not to meet the White Russian army, and clashed head-on with it, although they would be defeated sooner or later, but at the moment in Siberia they were in the limelight, and the Suidong Army should not touch their mildy at such a time, although Li Zhenqing did not know why Wu Xiaoliang was so sure of his judgment, Kolchak, who had an advantage in troops, would definitely be defeated, but he agreed with the opinion that it was not appropriate to have a head-on conflict with him at this time.

However, Wu Xiaoliang took the initiative to explain before he came, if he encountered the Soviet Russian Red Army, he must give priority to showing goodwill, and when they need assistance, he must give priority to help, and he must let them feel the strength and credibility of this Chinese allied army.

Li Zhenqing knew that Wu Xiaoliang did this in order to obtain Soviet Russia's recognition of the Suidong Army's declaration of China's sovereignty in Outer Mongolia, but what he did not understand was why Wu Xiaoliang wanted to find a side that was almost difficult to protect himself, instead of looking for Kolchak White Russia, which was recognized by the international community and also needed to help in the snow.

If you can't figure it out, Li Zhenqing still unconditionally chooses to believe in Wu Xiaoliang's judgment, whether it is a big gamble or foreknowledge, it turns out that his previous decisions in Suidong have created incredible opportunities for the Suidong army, and this time will probably not be an exception.

After several considerations, Li Zhenqing finally made up his mind to lead the 1st Mixed Brigade from the south bank of Lake Baikal to attack the White Russian army besieging Chita.

After listening to Li Zhenqing's words asking him to lead the way, the major looked at him in disbelief, this guy is not crazy, didn't the white bandit army who dared to attack tens of thousands of people with a small group of men and horses hit eggs against stones, but looking at the solemn and serious face of this Chinese colonel, and it didn't look like a joke, I couldn't help but admire the courage of these Chinese.

The 1st Mixed Brigade entered Russian territory from Kyakhta, 200 miles to the northeast is Petrovsk, the White Russians have just conquered this small city not long ago, and their goal is to take it first and cut off the rear route of the White Army's Southern Route Army.
