On the night of the 25th of the month, in the city of Kyakhta, the Russian soldiers who had experienced a day of hard fighting were huddled in the trenches with their rifles in their arms. In particular, those soldiers who withdrew to Kyakhta from the first and second lines of Kyakhta died even more. This fear of theirs also infected the other soldiers, and the morale of the entire Kyakhta defenders was very low. After learning that Kyakhta was now surrounded, everyone was even more panicked. If Turgenev hadn't come forward to reassure everyone and assure them that Ulan-Ude had sent reinforcements, the soldiers would have spread long ago.

In the final analysis, the Russian defenders in Kyakhta are basically just farmers who have just laid down their hoes, and in this dangerous situation, what they feel is more fear than how to fight.

The headquarters of the Russian army in Kyakhta was originally in the city hall in the center of Kyakhta, but now, the city hall has been destroyed by the shelling during the day, and Turgenev moved the headquarters to a more secluded place, which is also safer. Now, in this city hall, an uninvited guest, a lieutenant ** officer in a dark green military uniform.

"General Turgenev, now the shape of the whole Kyakhta, I don't say that you also know. If you continue to resist, our army will be able to annihilate you all in less than two days. Therefore, our Commander Chen Anguo hopes that General Turgenev can lead the Russian troops in the city to surrender and avoid unnecessary damage! The lieutenant said calmly, not at all frightened or frightened by going deep into the enemy camp. He was Major Chief of Staff of the Third Army, Yu Hai, a graduate of the Imperial Army University and fluent in Russian. This time, he was ordered to come to Kyakhta to persuade him to surrender.

"It's so nice to say, it's not that you Chinese are afraid and dare not do a good job of attacking Kyakhta at the cost of a lot of losses!" A Russian general said that his army had been completely lost in the daytime war.

"That's right, our army does have this concern. If your troops can surrender, then our army will be able to reduce these unnecessary losses. Of course, this is even more beneficial for your department. Once the battle begins, how many of the tens of thousands of Russian troops in Kyakhta will survive in the end? I'm afraid the lives of the generals will not be guaranteed! Yu Hai said with a smile.

"As soldiers of Russia, we owe allegiance to His Majesty the Tsar!" A middle-aged Russian general said.

Yu Hai smiled slightly, didn't say anything, just looked at Turgenev, waiting for his decision.

"Major Yu Hai, do you think your army will eat us? On the battlefield, the shape is changing all the time, and your army now occupies an absolute advantage, which does not mean that this advantage can be preserved forever! Turgenev said. He was an orthodox military man, and he could not do something to make him surrender, especially on the first day of the war, so that he would undoubtedly become the laughing stock of the whole of Russia.

"I hope the general thinks about it more. We, Commander Chen Anguo, said that tomorrow, we will not launch an attack. Of course, if your ministry wants to take the opportunity to break through, then we have no choice. Hopefully, before sunset tomorrow, the general will be able to make the right choice! Yu Hai said. He knew that the reinforcements sent by Ulan-Ude made these besieged Russian troops still fantasize that there would be a miracle. If they want to surrender now, some can't do it. However, if the battle ends tomorrow and the reinforcements sent by the Russian army are defeated or even annihilated, then their hearts will definitely be shaken, and when the time comes, it will be much simpler to let them surrender.

"Your Excellency, Major, please come back! The Russian warriors will not surrender! Turgenev said.

Yu Hai nodded, turned around and left Kyakhta under the escort of the Russian army's guards.

"Turgenev, I think we can surrender to them as long as the Chinese can promise to guarantee our security. That guy Vladimir doesn't care about our life or death at all, and now we can only protect ourselves if we surrender! Major General Mikhael said.

"Let's wait until the results of tomorrow's battle are in! If the 9th Cossack Regiment can tear through the Chinese lines, we may still have a chance to withdraw. If the 9th Cossack Regiment fails, let's do something else! Turgenev said. If the 9th Cossack Regiment had failed, then he would have had a reason to convince himself.

Major General Mikhael nodded, he knew that this was simply Turgenev's excuse. Will the 9th Cossack Regiment be able to tear through the lines of the Chinese? It's simply not possible. The battle of the 6th Cossack Cavalry Division during the day has proved this qiē, and the squadron with strong firepower can easily defeat the elite Russian Cossack cavalry.

On the 26th of the month, the Third Army of the Chinese Army kept its promise and did not launch an offensive on Kyakhta, not firing a single shot at the Russian army. And the Russian army was also very knowledgeable, restrained the defenders of Kyakhta, and did not take this opportunity to break through. Last night, Yu Hai had already made it very clear that although the Third Army promised not to launch an attack today, if the Russian army made any changes, it would be no wonder to them. At this moment, on the four positions besieging Kyakhta, the squadron must have been waiting for it solemnly. Once the Russian army makes any changes, it will inevitably be hit with a devastating blow.

In today's battle, the focus is no longer on Kyakhta, but thirty kilometers north of Kyakhta, the battle of the 3rd Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army and the 9th Cossack Regiment of the Russian Army. Who can win is directly related to the next step of the Kyakhta battle.

Major General Anatoly, a fierce general in the Russian army, commanded the 9th Cossack Corps, which consisted of three Cossack cavalry divisions, namely the 1st, 2nd and 1st Cossack cavalry divisions. His combat strength is to use the high speed of cavalry, constantly attack, gouge through, and completely penetrate the enemy's defense line. Such cavalry tactics, decades ago, might have worked very well. But now? It's no longer suitable for the current battle. In front of the Chinese cavalry, which is equipped with a lot of heavy firepower, such a tactic is simply looking for death.

"The offensive began half an hour later, with the 1st Cossack Cavalry Division as the vanguard, and the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Division and the 1st Cossack Cavalry Division detoured on both flanks. In one fell swoop, he defeated the yellow-skinned monkey on the opposite side, and let him know the fate of provoking the great Russia. Defeat them, and then rush out of their siege of Kyakhta in one fell swoop, and rescue the poor creatures who are surrounded! Major General Anatoly said disdainfully.

"Yes, General!" All three division commanders replied.

Three divisions and 20,000 Cossack cavalry slowly moved towards the position of the Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army, until they reached a distance of four kilometers from the position, and then stopped. All the Cossack cavalry, having already dismounted, let the horses rest and accumulate their bodies, so that they could charge at maximum speed later.

The Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army is also ready. On the frontal line, 24 20-mm heavy mortars and 24 75-mm infantry guns of the 9th and 10th Cavalry Brigades had already formed artillery positions, and the shells were piled up like hills. In front of the cavalry, there were 20 heavy machine guns and 60 light and medium mortars lined up. The dense firepower is enough to make people's scalp tingle. This kind of firepower is unmatched by any country in the armies of various countries today. Only the ** teams during World War II had such powerful firepower. The firepower configuration of the squadron is far stronger than that of the current countries in the world.

"Attack!" At half past eight in the morning, General Anatoly gave the order to attack.

One by one, the Cossack cavalrymen turned on their horses, rode forward, and launched an attack on the 3rd Cavalry Army. At first, the horses trotted all the way, but then they ran faster and faster, and finally sprinted up. And the Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army is also ready.

When the Russian army sprinted to the position of the squadron less than three kilometers, the Russian army separated, the 1st Cossack cavalry division continued to advance, and the 2nd and 1st Cossack cavalry divisions made a detour to the flanks.

"Fire!" Major General Bahar, commander of the 3rd Cavalry Corps, gave the order to open fire. Suddenly, 24 20-mm heavy mortars and 24 75-mm infantry guns on the artillery positions began to pour dense fire on the approaching Cossack cavalry at high speed.

The sound of artillery rumbled, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air. One by one, the shells fell into the ranks of the high-speed charging Cossack cavalry, and shrapnel shot at the horses and Cossack cavalry, creating a blank space in the dense cavalry ranks. However, these gaps were then filled by subsequent Cossack cavalry. However, this caused huge casualties to the Cossack cavalry.

Major General Anatoly, who was watching the battle from behind, frowned, and the cavalry charged in a dense formation, which was conducive to maximizing the attack power, but now it gave the Chinese firepower a chance to give full play. If this continues, his Cossack cavalry, I am afraid, has already suffered heavy losses before they have rushed in front of the Chinese.

"Order all parts to attack!" Major General Anatoly ordered.

The herald waved the flag in his hand and gave the order to the Cossack cavalry who were charging at the command.

It has to be said that these Cossack cavalry cavalry were really good at horsemanship, and after receiving the order, they immediately scattered in all directions and attacked the Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army in a scattered formation. In this way, the artillery of the Third Cavalry Corps was greatly weakened. Before, a shell would kill several Cossack cavalrymen, but now, a shell will kill at most one or two, and if you are unlucky, you won't be able to blow up a single one.
