(Thank you for the tip!) Thank you for the monthly pass of the book friend 20 boss and Jiutian Yanyu! )

"Fire!" After the Cossack cavalry charged to within a kilometer of the 3rd Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army, the corps commander, Major General Bahar, gave the order to open fire. All of a sudden, all the heavy machine guns, light machine guns and mortars deployed in front of the position opened fire, forming a dense metal storm that swept towards the Cossack cavalry charging at high speed.

"Da Da Da!" The sound of heavy machine guns and light machine guns mixed together to form a crossfire, blocking the path of the Cossack cavalry. Even though the Cossack cavalry deliberately dispersed in order to reduce casualties, under the blow of dense fire, these Cossack cavalry still fell on the way of the charge. Pieces of bullets swept by, and these Cossack cavalrymen fell to the ground as if they were cutting wheat. Either the Cossack cavalry was killed, or the horses under their crotches were killed, leaving almost nothing alive.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "One after another, shells fell from the sky and fell into the ranks of the Cossack cavalry advancing at high speed, and the air waves generated by the explosion overturned the advancing Cossack cavalry, and the shrapnel fired in all directions, lightly harvesting their lives. Under the blow of such powerful firepower, the attacking 9th Cossack Regiment suffered heavy losses.

"Damn, it's not a fight at all, it's a murder!" Major General Anatoly held the whip in his hand tightly and said with a pale face. With those Cossack cavalry, he fearlessly threw himself into the intertwined fire of the squadron and was beaten into a sieve. It was like a moth to a fire, even though he was used to seeing life and death. But in this case, it still makes him very uncomfortable.

"General. The firepower of the Chinese is too strong, and our cavalry simply cannot break through their firepower! The commander of the 1st Cossack Cavalry Division said with a look of horror. His division, which was responsible for the main attack on the front, was very badly wounded. Only a few minutes after the battle began, his troops were completely suppressed, and he could only watch as his troops were shot by the powerful fire of the squadron.

"The battle on the flanks is about to begin. The Chinese have concentrated so much firepower on the front, their flank defense is definitely weak, and we still have a chance! Major General Anatoly said. Now, he can only pin his hopes on the two divisions that flanked and detoured.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Da-da-da-da! As soon as Anatoly's words were finished, fierce gunfire rang out on both flanks of the squadron. Although, compared to the front, the firepower is much weaker. But from the sound of this gun, it is still very strong. Anatoly's face suddenly turned pale. He really couldn't figure out why the Chinese army could be equipped with so many machine guns and artillery, and did these not require money? Compared with the squadron, he originally thought that the Cossack cavalry was well-equipped. It's not even as good as calling Hanako.

The equipment of the Russian ** team has always been the worst. In the First World War, Russian soldiers often shared a rifle with two people. One soldier fought with a rifle, and the other followed him until the soldier was killed. The soldiers in the back picked up their rifles and continued the fight. Although Russia has a large population and plenty of soldiers. However, the gap in industry has greatly constrained their combat power. The Cossack cavalry, as the elite of the Russian army, was only able to meet the needs of a rifle and a saber per person, and as for heavy machine guns and artillery, such heavy things were not conducive to rapid maneuvering, and they were rarely equipped. And now, it is very clear what consequences the Cossack cavalry will have in the face of the Third Cavalry Corps of the Chinese Army, armed to the teeth.

The fierce fighting continued, but it was not a battle at all, but a massacre. The fierce Cossack cavalry, riding their horses, galloped wildly, trying to break through the defense line of the squadron, but they were greeted by a dense number of bullets. And these Cossack cavalrymen, often unable to rush to the front of the squadron, were killed by a dense barrage of bullets.

"General, it's not okay to go on like this, we must retreat. The Chinese are too strong in firepower, and we are not their opponents. If you continue to fight, you will only lose the entire 9th Cossack Regiment! "said the commander of the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Division.

"General, Kyakhta is finished, we can't save them! Let's retreat! The other officers also persuaded him. If it were possible, they would certainly be willing to rescue the Russian army in the besieged Kyakhta, but if it were to cost their own lives, it is estimated that no one would want to do so. The powerful firepower of the squadron shocked them, which was simply not something they could deal with. Therefore, they rationally chose to retreat. To put it nicely, this is called saving strength, and if it is not good, this is the wolf bèi escaping for his life.

"Order all troops to retreat immediately and get out of contact with the Chinese!" General Anatoly took a deep breath and said. In the direction of Kyakhta, he whispered: "May God bless you!" Then he immediately turned his horse's head and galloped north. The Cossack cavalry, who were storming the positions of the 3rd Cavalry Corps, also retreated like a tide.

"Commander, Lao Maozi has retreated, let's pursue it!" Brigadier General An Hongyuan, the commander of the Ninth Brigade, said excitedly.

"All the divisions immediately pursued! Try to kill Lao Maozi's living force! Major General Bahar ordered.

"Kill! Come on! The strength of the four brigades of the 3rd Cavalry Corps suddenly rushed towards the fleeing Russian Cossack cavalry, and the crisp shots of the horse pistols were like fried beans. Although it was somewhat difficult to shoot during the march of the horses, most of the soldiers of the Third Cavalry Corps were Mongols, and they had all developed good riding skills, and these problems did not bother them at all. The Russian army was powerless to resist at all, so they had to desperately whip the horse's butt so that they could escape quickly. On the grassland, there are dead bodies left behind.

In the previous offensive, the Russian 9th Cossack Regiment left at least seven or eight thousand corpses, scattered in a haphazard manner across the steppe. The surviving Cossack cavalry, having received the order to retreat, also fled, not bothering to pay attention to anything else. They were already scared. There were some Cossack cavalrymen who had not yet been killed, still moaning in pain. Some of the war horses that had lost their owners roared hoistingly, and the entire battlefield was like Shura hell.

"Send a report to Commander Chen Anguo and tell them that we have defeated the Ninth Cossack Regiment of the Russian Army and are now pursuing!" Major General Bahar ordered with a smile on his face. In this battle, although the 3rd Cavalry Corps had the advantage of firepower and strength, it was able to defeat the fierce Cossack cavalry, which already showed that their Mongol cavalry was more powerful than the Cossack cavalry.

"Yes, Commander!" The communications officer quickly sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Third Army in the city.

When the Third Army received the telegram, the entire command was overjoyed. The battle had been fought for less than an hour, and they had already been victorious, which gave them a lot of heart.

"Call back to Commander Bahar, tell them to pay attention to safety, don't chase too far, give Lao Maozi a chance!" Major General Liu Dingyi, chief of staff of the Third Group Army, said cautiously. Kyakhta is a full 180 kilometers from Ulan-Ude, and if the Third Army pursues Ulan-Ude directly, it will be troublesome.

"Chief of Staff, don't worry, Commander Bahar must be measured!" Lieutenant General Chen Anguo said.

Major General Liu Dingyi nodded, he just wanted to remind him.

"Chief of Staff, let that kid Yu Hai run again! Sue Sù Kyakhta's old Maozi, their reinforcements have been defeated, and if they don't surrender again, I'll wipe Kyakhta off the map tomorrow! Chen Anguo said confidently.

Major Yu Hai, who received the order, once again went to the Russian command in Kyakhta to persuade Major General Turgenev and others to surrender.

"General Turgenev, I have bad news for you, the 9th Cossack Regiment of your army, which has just been defeated by our 3rd Cavalry Corps, has lost tens of thousands of men, and now the whole rampant retreat is being pursued. There are no more reinforcements for your army! Major Yu Hai said.

"How is that possible? In such a short period of time? The Ninth Cossack Regiment was defeated? The Russian generals in the command all looked at each other.

"Generals, if you don't believe me, you can send a small number of soldiers to the battlefield to investigate!" Major Yu Hai said.

"Turgenev, I'll go personally!" said Major General Mikhael.

Major General Turgenev nodded. Major General Mikhael rode away with a few guards. Major Yu Hai remained in the command of the Russian army.

In less than half an hour, Major General Mikhael returned. It's just that his face is pale. When he arrived at the battlefield, the squadron had already begun to clean the battlefield, but the layers of corpses made him understand that what Yu Hai said was true.

The generals of the Russian army command, when they saw the face of Major General Mikhayer, suddenly felt nervous. Obviously, they now understand that what Yu Hai said is true. More than 20,000 Cossack cavalry were defeated in less than an hour, which caused a deep panic in their hearts, and Xiang Hai's eyes added a lot of fear.

"Turgenev, the 9th Cossack Regiment was really defeated, the corpses piled up like a hill! We won't have any more reinforcements! Major General Mikhael said with some despair.

"Major General Turgenev, for the sake of the lives of tens of thousands of Russian soldiers, I think you should be able to make the right choice!" Major Yu Hai said.

Major General Turgenev hesitated for a moment, a hint of firmness flashed in his eyes, and then he said: "On behalf of the Kyakhta defenders, I surrender to the squadron!" ”
