Chapter 620: Shirokov Comeback
The Cossack harassment of the area north of the Sari Mountains was successful. The information was soon reported to Liu Xian. Of course, what the real facts are, Liu Xian, who has no one holding a virtual map, knows better.
From the generation to the recognition of the information that the area north of the Sari Mountains was attacked by Cossacks, to the failure of the local defenders' counterattack, after verifying the battle report, he had to send a telegram to Yoshimuno for help, and then the battle report quickly turned into a telegram and sent it to Liu Xian, which took a total of two days. In the past two days, tens of thousands of Russian troops have been gathered from Karaganda to Semipalatinsk. And from Semipalatinsk you can reach Ust-Kamenogorsk by water, and then enter Zaisangpo, which is very convenient.
The Russian army is making a feint with a part of the local army stationed in Semipalatinsk to create the illusion that the Russian army is constantly reinforcing the Cossack army in Jaisampo. The truth is that the Russian army in Semipalatinsk will take the train straight down to Akdouka.
Akdouka is the node of the Russian railway at the eastern end of Lake Balkhash, and the Russian army needs to walk to Alahu Lake when it arrives.
On the virtual map, a large group of Russian soldiers are preparing for combat supplies like hard-working ants, and their movements clearly tell Liu Xian that the Russian army on the shore of Lake Alaa is preparing for battle.
Alahu is the real main force of the Russian army's offensive in the Tacheng area. Jaisangbo is just a front to confuse oneself.
"Order Leshan to do a good job of defending the Ernon River and Tarbagatai. No orders, no retreats. ”
When the staff officers had not yet formed a unified opinion, Liu Xian Qiangang was arbitrary and directly issued a military order. The 15th Reorganization Division was ordered to quickly reinforce Tacheng. The 8th Cavalry Division in the Fuhai area directly killed Jaisangbo. The Cossack cavalry there totaled less than 10,000 men and were now scattered. As long as the 8th Cavalry Division can catch up. As long as Ren Huabang thoroughly implements the order, he will attack boldly. 10,000 Chinese cavalry against 10,000 Cossacks, with the same number of people on both sides, Ren Huabang can win a good start!
Liu Xian put him in the position of the leader of the Eighth Cavalry Division, and there were many people who were not convinced. Ren Huabang wants to use his military exploits to show everyone Liu Xian's wisdom.
Of course, the people in the General Staff Department had different opinions on Liu Xianam's 'cadre program dictatorship'. However, Liu Xian took the Russian army in Jaisangbo as a pretense, and believed that the Russian army would take the opportunity to storm Tarbagatai, which was also possible.
Tacheng is also a key point in the layout of the battlefield of the Wehrmacht. Although there were not many troops there, they had a large stockpile of military supplies. This is the same as the Russian army on the shore of Lake Ala. They did not have many troops in Alahu, but they also stockpiled a large amount of military supplies.
Both sides are working towards a strategic goal. And Yoshimuno's Kongcai. but angry at the disgrace of the defenders of Mount Surrey.
He was furious. This kind of humiliating thing was the first to appear in his own defense zone.
"Rice bucket! A bunch of rice buckets! A few cavalrymen will make such a mess of you! Do you have burning sticks in your hands? ”
Kong Cai slapped the table and roared. The most critical battle of the Second Sino-Russian War was that he led his troops to block the Great West Ditch, forced the Russian cavalry lieutenant General Shirokov to surrender, and captured a count with the royal blood of Tsarist Russia, which was a moment that Kong Cai will never forget in his life. His glory was built on the corpses of the cavalry of the Russian army, but today he is unreservedly humiliated by the cavalry of the Russian army. In front of him stood five colonel-level officers standing next to each other, all of them with their necks shrunk, and they didn't even dare to come out.
Seeing that no one answered, Kong Cai did not put out the fire. He raised his hand, pointed to the nose of one of the lieutenant colonel officers, and shouted, "Zhang, you tell me." What does your cavalry battalion eat? It's our fighters who really can't beat Lao Maozi. Or are you incompetent yourself!? ”
With a cold sweat on his face, this question can't be answered, and it's wrong to answer it. Hesitantly changed the subject and said, "Take a seat." Please rest assured that the Russian army will attack again in the future. The lowly office will certainly not let them go. This time, the lowly position was really negligent. ”
Kong Cai is already the deputy chief of staff of the Xinjiang Military Region. The rank of Major General. Admirals may be in danger in this life, but Lieutenant Admiral is steady.
This time the Cossacks attacked the area around the Sari Mountains, and they came very quickly, and they seemed to be very familiar with the local situation. Coupled with the fact that they launched an attack before dawn and left with a vote, and the defenders were indeed lax, this gave them an opportunity.
"Alright, alright! Don't talk nonsense with Lao Tzu! You just have to remember what you say. If I make another mistake, you will roll me back to my hometown. ”
Kong Cai was very unkind to Zhang Zhu. But no one thinks that this is because Kong Cai looks down on Zhang Zhu. It's because the friendship between the two is too deep. When the Xinjiang army was in turmoil, Zhang Zhu was under Kong Cai's men. has been friends for half a lifetime, if you still look forward to talking, then what kind of brother and friend is this?
When Zhang came out of Kong Cai's headquarters, his forehead was covered with sweat, dripping down his chin and dripping to the ground.
The Russian cavalry general in Jaisangbo was actually an old acquaintance of Confucius, Shirokov. After his release, Shirokov did not suffer much blame. The cause of the destruction of half of the cavalry of the Russian army was not at all him, the leader of the troops, but in Grand Duke Nikolai. So Shirokov, after two or three years of sinking in the cavalry school, re-entered the army. This time the battle appeared on the opposite side of Kong Cai. It's just that this hole is not yet known.
An army of cavalry was advancing south along the Oron River.
The black cape, the traditional Circassian robe, and the high Cossack fur hat on his head, the green of the earth formed two very different color palettes.
Wherever the troops passed, the sky was covered with yellow dust, and they looked far away. Like a murderous aura, it rolled down and rushed straight to the south.
Shirokov made a comeback. He killed a horse pistol, but he didn't know that tens of thousands of Chinese cavalry were also rushing frantically towards the Surry Mountains.
People shouted and neighed, and there was a boil.
Sitting on a white horse, Shirokov stood on the side of a road crushed by horses, and with confidence and pride, he looked down on the troops that drove in front of him, surrounded by his staff officers and adjutants.
A horseman galloped in, handed a telegram to an adjutant, then turned his horse's head and galloped away.
The adjutant saluted and handed the telegram to Shirokov.
"Oh, it's the Grand Duke's order. Chinese troops have already begun to reinforce the Surry Hills. His Royal Highness ordered us to be sure to stick to the Chinese army, and when the Alahu troops conquered Tarbagatai, the large force would cut off the retreat and transportation lines of the Chinese army in Mount Surry to the east, and then ask our army to cooperate with the Chinese army in the total annihilation of Mount Sari. ”
Shirokov laughed heartily. "Pretty good battle plan, isn't it? I was already able to see the scene I longed for. Your Highness allowed me to accept the surrender of the Chinese army as a way to wash away my shame. ”
Shirokov's face became very serious, and not the slightest smile could be found in it. "So we have to fight with all our might, and there must be no cheating and trickery. We are going to strike another blow to the Chinese in Surry Hill with lightning speed. ”
"Pass my orders and tell all the soldiers and officers that if they fight in the future, who dares not to work hard, be brave, and be loyal, I will take their lives."
"Pass the order, whichever regiment rushes to Mount Surry first, I will allow them to move freely for three hours."
In addition to the two battalions of the cavalry battalion, there were three infantry battalions in Surrey Hill. The territory of Tacheng is too large, and Kong Cai is in charge of the area north of the Tarbagatai Mountains, that is, the defense line of three or four hundred miles between the north and south of the Sari Mountains and Fuhai, but he only has a cavalry battalion and a local garrison regiment in his hands, which is not as good as Leshan.
Although there is a tourist relationship with the Eighth Cavalry Division parked on the shore of this Fuhai Sea, it is also really tricky.
Just when Shirokov's troops were only thirty or forty miles away from the Surry Mountains, Kong received a telegram from Liu Xian, asking him to be more vigilant, especially the front-line positions in the north and south of the Surry Mountains, and to prevent the Russian army from being caught off guard again.
Then, in less than ten hours, he received a telegram from Mount Surrey, which was again under surprise attack by Russian cavalry. Fortunately, the positions were ready for battle, and no one continued to poke the basket. Although the Russian army is strong and strong, it has not taken advantage of it at all, and it is too far worse than the previous one.
Originally, with the firepower of the Qin army, as long as the vigilance was high enough and the preparation was sufficient, the Cossack cavalry with weak firepower had no chance to succeed in a sneak attack. Otherwise, how could the strategic position of the cavalry decline so quickly?
This incident became a small flash of Liu Xian's military talent in later military history research. Because from the perspective of future generations and bystanders, Liu Xian made such an appropriate arrangement in a short time after receiving Ji Muno's telegram, and then reminded the defenders of Mount Sari again to pay attention to the Russian army's killing of a horse gun, and the interval between them was very short.
Liu Xian led the entire Xinjiang campaign, and even had to pay attention to the progress of the war between Northeast China and Mongolia, and for a Surry Mountain, the energy invested was very limited. The interval between is also normal.
And it was this limited investment of energy that could lead the defenders of Mount Sari to make the Cossacks suffer a small loss. Naturally, it can be regarded as a small flash. This is called anticipating the enemy first, and whether it is Chinese or foreign, military generals can do this, and that is respected.
"To make a big pocket, Bole has to plug it there. You can't drop the chain at a critical moment. ”
"The cavalry moved a little faster. An ambush must be in place within two days. ”
Bole is the Jinghe Zhili Hall of the former Qing Dynasty. In the 29th year of Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, the left battalion of Chahar was stationed here, and the team leader was set up, commonly known as Dayingpan. The Atlas of the Western Regions is called Borotara. Ruled for 14 years, it belonged to the Jinghe Zhili Hall.
This is the northern end of Mount Alatau, where the Alashan Pass is located. Alashan Pass is a wide, flat passage about 40 miles wide and 180 miles long between Mount Alatau and Mount Baluk. [Data error in the previous part, corrected]
There is not much land in China to the west of Alashankou. Only a small piece. However, the Wehrmacht had set up a defensive line there, and the road leading from the western side of the pass to the Tacheng area was clear. (To be continued......)
