"Division commander, the Chinese are too fierce in fire, our attack failed!" Yukos stood in front of Turgenev with a look of shame. The 6th Cossack Cavalry Division, a total of more than 6,000 men, turned out to be less than a thousand remnants of the defeated generals retreated, and the rest were either killed or captured. The myth of the Cossack cavalry, thus shattered.

Turgenev's face was also gloomy and a little scary. The 6th Cossack Cavalry Division could not repel the encirclement of the Chinese cavalry, which meant that the whole of Kyakhta was already encircled. Their tens of thousands of Russian troops were only swallowed by the squadron.

"Turgenev, what should we do now?" Mihayel asked. His face was full of uneasiness and trepidation. The back road is sectioned, which means that the entire Russian army in Kyakhta has become a turtle in an urn.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! At this time, there was a dense explosion from the second line of defense in Kyakhta. The Fourth Division of the Chinese Army, after several failed attacks, mobilized a large number of heavy artillery and launched an indiscriminate bombardment of the second line of defense in Kyakhta. The defense line of the Russian army was completely shrouded in gunsmoke. The rudimentary fortifications simply could not withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery. From time to time, many Russian soldiers were bombed and flew into the air, and stumps and broken arms flew everywhere.

The fierce shelling lasted for more than half an hour before it ended, and by this time, Kyakhta's second line of defense was already in tatters. The entire position was as if it had been plowed over, and all the fire points of the heavy machine guns were blown up.

At this time, the soldiers of the 4th and 50th Divisions of the Chinese Army once again launched a fierce attack on the second line of defense in Kyakhta. A stiff light machine gun was even erected less than 50 meters away from the second line of defense of the Russian army in Kyakhta, and those Russian troops who had finally survived the shelling and were ready to resist the squadron were suddenly beaten into a sieve.

"Grenades!" The company commander who led the soldiers to charge shouted, and dozens of grenades were thrown into the trenches of the Russian army, and the shrapnel fired in all directions, killing all the Russian troops inside. And the soldiers of the squadron also took the opportunity to attack the positions of the Russian army, grenades opened the way, light machine guns and rifles and bayonets cooperated, and began to clean up the remnants of the Russian troops on the position.

After suffering heavy losses and losing more than half of them, the Russian troops defending the second line of defense in Kyakhta finally collapsed. They ran out of their positions and ran madly towards Kyakhta, wishing that their parents had given them two more legs. Weapons and ammunition were thrown everywhere, all in order to reduce weight so that they could escape.

The second line of defense of Kyakhta fell into the hands of the squadron, and the encirclement of the entire Kyakhta was officially formed. The remnants of more than 50,000 Russian troops were all crowded into the small city of Kyakhta. Kyakhta is just a small city less than a kilometer long and wide, and has no walls, only a few low houses. Of course, after the declaration of war between China and Russia, the Russian army also built a lot of fortifications in Kyakhta, trying to build it into a fortress. It's just that because of the lack of materials and the fact that the soldiers are also cheating, the fortifications of Kyakhta are not satisfactory. In the previous fierce shelling by the squadron, a lot of buildings in Kyakhta were destroyed, and along with it, these fortifications of the Russian army were also destroyed.

"General, the Chinese have taken down outside Kyakhta! Kyakhta is surrounded by Chinese, we are already surrounded! A Russian general said to Turgenev with a look of horror. The 100,000 Russian troops in Kyakhta, in just one day, lost half of them, and the remaining troops were all surrounded, so that these Russian generals who originally thought that the squadron was very easy to deal with fell to the ground one by one. Now, surrounded and with no escape, what awaits them is either to be killed or to walk into a prisoner of war camp.

Major General Turgenev's face was also gloomy and terrible, his 6th Cossack Cavalry Division was almost lost, but not only did it not open the passage, but it was almost annihilated, which made the Russian army in Kyakhta no longer have the possibility of escaping.

"Get the soldiers into action and get ready to stand by for help! Send telegrams to Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude respectively, report to them about the predicament that Kyakhta is now facing, and ask for help! Major General Turgenev said helplessly. Kyakhta had only 100,000 defenders, but it was besieged by a group army and a cavalry corps of the squadron, which was a full 200,000 people! Double as much as them! At the same time, the firepower of the squadron is far above them. The heavy machine guns and artillery equipped by the 100,000 Russian troops are estimated to be less than those of a squadron and a division, so how can they withstand the attack of the squadron? In addition, in the battle, the skillful combat skills displayed by the Chinese soldiers also made Turgenev and others secretly frightened, except for being a little thinner, this kind of Chinese soldier is simply a veteran of a hundred battles! No wonder they, the newly formed army, are no match for the squadron. Russia is strong, but this time the opponent does not seem to be weak! Come, this time Russia is in trouble! Turgenev thought so.

"Do we have any reinforcements? Ulan-Ude is only 50,000 people, how can that guy Vladimir, who only cares about his own safety, send an army to save us? Major General Mikhael said hatefully. Ulan-Ude had three infantry divisions and a Cossack regiment, all elite veterans. Vladimir, in order to ensure his own safety, concentrated all these veterans in Ulan-Ude, and the whole of Kyakhta, with the exception of Turgenev's 6th Cossack Cavalry Division, were new recruits. These people are basically farmers who have just put down their hoes in response to the Tsar's call. How could they be opponents of an elite squadron?

"The Grand Guild of Nikolai will not sit idly by!" Turgenev said firmly. Although Vladimir is not a thing, Grand Duke Nicholas is the first person on the Russian side, and his words are also not dared to be violated by anyone on the Russian side.

The other Russian generals also knew that this was the last resort, so they had to go down to prepare, preparing to stick to Kyakhta and wait for reinforcements to arrive. Of course, they don't know whether the reinforcements come or not, so they have to wait for God to arrange it.

After the encirclement of Kyakhta, the squadron did not immediately attack. After a day of high-intensity fighting, the soldiers were very tired. In particular, the Fourth Division, which had been the main attacker, was even more tired. In today's battle, the Fourth Division paid more than 2,000 casualties, but the Russian troops killed and captured by them exceeded 10,000. This is why they focused their main efforts on breaking through the Russian defenses. Overall, the results were very good.

Baggage units began to transport ammunition for the front line, compensating for the day's attrition. Although the squadron has strong attack power, it is also very terrifying for the consumption of ammunition. Now the railway from Beijing to Kulun has been extended from Kulen to the city of Buying, which has made the pressure in the later period have been well relieved, and a large number of logistical supplies and ammunition have been transported to the front line by columns of military columns, and then transported to the front line by cars and carriages of heavy troops. It's just that after the invasion of Russia, it will be much more difficult to replenish.

In the headquarters of the city, Chen Anguo, commander of the Third Army, has received the latest battle report, and in today's battle, the Third Army and the Third Cavalry Army have annihilated a total of more than 40,000 troops, including more than 20,000 prisoners. Such a victory can be described as a good start! Although there are still tens of thousands of Russian troops who have retreated into Kyakhta to defend to the death, the Russian army, which has already suffered heavy losses, obviously will not pose much of a threat.

"Come, the first achievement since the start of the war can't run away! After the annihilation of the Russian army in Kyakhta, the annihilation of 100,000 Russian troops at the start of the war is a huge result! Chen Anguo, commander of the Third Army, smiled like a flower.

"Yes! These old hairy people, why are they so unbeaten! It's hard to believe that in the past, only a few thousand old hairs could run rampant in the Northeast! Major General Liu Dingyi, Chief of Staff, also sighed. During the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was a huge population, and it was already quite a good economic strength, but in the face of the attack of the great powers, it had no power to resist at all, and it was completely at the mercy of the great powers, which was simply a shame!

"Humph! Those Manchu bastards, in addition to their own enjoyment, where do they care about the lives and deaths of others? Fortunately, the Manchus were overthrown by us, and the empire has become stronger and stronger! After we win this war, no one will dare to bully us anymore! Lieutenant General Chen Anguo said.

"By the way, how big are our casualties today?" Chen Anguo asked.

"The whole army suffered more than 3,000 casualties, mainly the Fourth Division, they attacked too fiercely, and the casualties were relatively large! Among them, more than 1,000 were killed and more than 500 were seriously injured! Chief of Staff Liu Dingyi said.

Chen Anguo nodded, if there is a war, there must be death, and it is already very good to be able to achieve a battlefield exchange rate of one to ten. Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that they are all in the face of the garbage troops of the Russian army. If you face the elite troops of the Russian army, I am afraid it will be a little more troublesome.

"I just got the latest information, in the morning, 20,000 Cossack cavalry of the Russian army moved south from Ulan-Ude, and the target was Kyakhta. The 3rd Cavalry Army is already preparing to eat these Cossack cavalry in one bite! Major General Liu Dingyi said.

"That's good! We suspend the offensive on Kyakhta, how many men can Ulan-Ude send! Eat the reinforcements sent by Ulan-Ude, and it will be much easier for us to fight Ulan-Ude next! Chen Anguo said with a smile. Kyakhta, which is surrounded on all sides, has become an important means for the squadron to use this to fight the living forces of the Russian army.
