400,000 Russian troops stormed Kulen, making it the site of a decisive battle. However, it is worth noting that although the Russian army has invested 400,000 troops in Mongolia. But the army of the Northern Army in Kulen was only four infantry divisions, that is, more than 70,000 people.

You must know that the Northern Army alone has more than 200,000 people in the Western Front Command. The army in Kulen was only a third of the total strength of the Western Front Command. There were also three infantry divisions stationed in Uriya Sutai. It's just that the Russian army seems to have identified Kulen and only took Kulen as the target of the attack, and did not make a move against Uriya Sutai.

In addition to these seven infantry divisions, the Western Front Command of the Northern Army had twelve cavalry brigades totaling more than 100,000 people. Of the twelve cavalry brigades, except for four deployed south of Kulen to protect herders and logistical supply lines in the south, the remaining eight cavalry brigades were deployed in the northern part of the Mongolian steppe. Like wolves lurking in the grasslands, they are ready to leap out of the tall weeds and pounce on the throat of their enemies to deliver a fatal blow.

Originally, the Russian army concentrated its main forces to storm Kulen, which made everyone sweat. After all, the difference in the strength of the two sides is too great. The Russian army has an absolute superiority in troops. It is not easy to resist the attack of the Russian army in Kulen.

However, the development of the war situation was beyond everyone's expectations. Although, the Russian army has broken through the two lines of defense of the Northern Army one after another, and it seems that it is only one step away from Kulen. However, many generals of the Northern Army knew that this was simply a deliberate laissez-faire on the part of the Northern Army. Otherwise, the Russian army would never have broken through to the third line of defense of the Northern Army. The reason why the Northern Army did this was completely to fish the Russian army as a fish. And it is clear that the Russian army has taken the bait.

Next, it was time for the Northern Army to launch a counterattack against the Russian army. The Russian army, which has suffered heavy losses, will be completely terminated here under the city of Kulen. And the cavalry of the Northern Army had to complete the task. It is to cut off the logistics supply line of the Russian army and cut off the retreat of the Russian army in one fell swoop.

"Brigadier Commander, a telegram from Cullen!" North of Kulen, near Mount Zaluchut, was the hiding place of the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Northern Army.

The commander of the 1st Cavalry Brigade immediately rolled over, rushed over in three or two steps, and snatched the telegram.

"Haha. yes, that's great. The young marshal finally gave the order to fight back. During this time, Lao Tzu was idle. Brigadier General Zou Fang laughed.

In order to ensure that the Russians continued to attack Kulen, Wu Haoxuan specially ordered the cavalry to reduce the intensity of the attack on the Russian army's logistics supply lines. After all, if the Russian army's logistical supply lines were cut off at the beginning, the Russian army would most likely turn around and flee north. With the main force of the Russian army still existing, it is not so easy to completely annihilate these hundreds of thousands of Russian troops.

Now, the Russian army is losing troops under the city of Kulen. There weren't many supplies left. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the total annihilation of the Russian army. As long as the logistics supply line of the Russian army is cut off, the more than 200,000 Russian troops who are still gathered under the city of Kulen will truly become a turtle in the urn.

"Send a telegram to the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, the 4th Cavalry Brigade, asking them to cooperate with us. If you want to do it, you can do it with a big vote, and directly cripple Lao Maozi's 3rd Cossack Cavalry Regiment! Brigadier General Zou Fang's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

The 3rd Cossack Cavalry Regiment of the Russian Army was tasked with protecting the long logistical supply lines. It's just that in the midst of a series of wars. The 3rd Cossack Cavalry Regiment of the Russian Army has also suffered heavy losses. The strength of the entire legion has dropped from more than 26,000 to more than 15,000.

"Yes. Brigade! The communications officer immediately went to telegraph.

On August 9, the Northern Army began to launch a counterattack against the Russian army. It's just that this counterattack was still launched by cavalry. Eight cavalry brigades, lurking in the northern part of the Mongolian steppe, began to launch a fierce offensive against the logistical supply lines of the Russian army. The Russian Cossack cavalry, protecting the logistical supply lines, fought back. However, they were outnumbered, and their weapons and equipment were far from being the opponents of the Northern Army. Under such circumstances, the Russian army's logistical supply lines were naturally cut off by the Northern Army.

The headquarters of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army was located more than sixty kilometers north of Mount Zaluchut. Here, with the exception of the command of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Corps. There was also the 10th Cossack Cavalry Division. It is also the largest mobile force in the hands of Lieutenant General Anatoly, commander of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army.

In the headquarters of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army, Lieutenant General Anatoly was anxiously pacing back and forth. It has been more than ten days since they launched an attack on Kulen. However, the Russian army suffered heavy losses under the city of Kulen, but it still failed to break through Kulen. This made Lieutenant General Anatoly feel that the situation of the battle was not going well.

"A small Cullen only has tens of thousands of northern troops. But our hundreds of thousands of troops have not been able to break through for a long time. Is this because the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army is too strong, or is our combat effectiveness too weak? Lieutenant General Anatoly looked gloomy.

Before the battle broke out, he, like other Russian generals, believed that the Northern Army was just a local warlord in China, and that it would not be very strong. However, after the war, he did not dare to underestimate it at all. In particular, the total annihilation of the 2nd Cossack Cavalry Regiment sounded the alarm for him. After the Russian army entered the Mongolian steppe, they were attacked by cavalry from the Northern Army, which made Lieutenant General Anatoly understand the strength of the Northern Army.

"If the war doesn't go well, then I'll have to evacuate first. There is no need for the burial of Admiral Vladimir. Lieutenant General Anatoly thought secretly.

He was not originally from the Eastern Siberian theater of operations, but was transferred from Europe after Russia declared war on the northern government. He didn't want to die here.

"General, Chinese, Chinese cavalry is coming. On all sides, there are cavalry of the Chinese. A junior officer burst into the tent and reported to Lieutenant General Anatoly with a look of horror.

"What? The cavalry of the Chinese came? Damn, are they going to launch a massive counterattack? Could it be that there has been a major reversal in the tide of Cullen's battle? Lieutenant General Anatoly exclaimed.

The huge cavalry of the Northern Army has always been the object of his concern. Although, the Russian army was the main offensive on the Kulen battlefield and broke through the two lines of defense of the Northern Army one after another. But the vigilance in his heart has not weakened much. He knew that the cavalry of the Northern Army was like a wild wolf on the steppe, and once the Russian army showed its weakness, they would immediately attack.

"Order the whole army, prepare to break through!" Lieutenant General Anatoly did not dare to delay any longer and immediately gave the order.

At present, the headquarters of the 3rd Cossack Cavalry Corps plus the 10th Cossack Cavalry Division has a total of only more than 8,000 people, which is only equivalent to the strength of a cavalry brigade of the Northern Army. With such a small number of troops to resist the northern army, he has no chance of winning at all. Rather than this, it is better to evacuate as soon as possible in order to preserve the strength to the greatest extent.

It's just that Lieutenant General Anatoly still underestimated the Northern Army. The cavalry led by Anatoly has become the target of the cavalry of the Northern Army. More than 24,000 cavalry, including the 1st Cavalry Brigade, the 2nd Cavalry Brigade and the 4th Cavalry Brigade, were already surrounded from all sides. In order to completely annihilate this cavalry.

"General, there are too many Chinese cavalry, more than three times as many as ours, and we can't rush out at all!" A major general officer reported to Lieutenant General Anatoly that he was the commander of the 10th Cossack Cavalry Division of the Russian Army.

"If you can't rush out, you have to rush! Otherwise, we're dead. Since you can't break through to the north, then go south! Lieutenant General Anatoly said with a gloomy face.

Originally, he wanted to break through to the north. In this way, they will be able to escape from the Mongolian steppe and flee back to Russia. But who knows, the north is naturally the key defense place of the Northern Army. Lieutenant General Anatoly wanted to flee back to Russia, but it was impossible. As a last resort, Lieutenant General Anatoly was only able to change the direction of the breakout.

"Da Da Da! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The cavalrymen of the Northern Army began to fire at the Cossack cavalry with light and heavy machine guns and mortars. A storm of steel formed by dense bullets and shells enveloped the Cossack cavalry, directly causing the Russian army to pay a heavy price.

The Russian army, which wants to break through, is like hitting an invisible wall, and the head is bleeding.

"Shhh

The neighing of the war horse before it died, and the war horse that had been shot countless times fell to the ground wailing. The Russian Cossack cavalry on horseback was thrown out directly, and then trampled into meat sauce by the war horses galloping from behind.

Countless Cossack cavalry were swept away by the shock wave formed by the explosion of the shells, and the feet on the stirrups could not be withdrawn, causing the frightened horses to drag the Cossack cavalry all the way, and finally dragged the Cossack cavalry to death.

Many more Cossack cavalry were killed by shrapnel or bullets from the explosion of the shells.

But even so, in order to survive, the Russian Cossack cavalry was also fearless in launching a charge. They all knew that if they couldn't break through the encirclement of the Northern Army, then they would be completely dead.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

When the Russian army rushed less than a hundred meters in front of the cavalry of the Northern Army, the cavalry guns in the hands of the soldiers opened fire. The cavalrymen, regardless of whether they were aiming at the target or not, fired all the bullets in the cavalry guns. Anyway, the Russian offensive formation is so dense that it is always able to kill some Cossack cavalry.

"Brothers, rush! Kill all these old hairies! ”

Under the loud orders of the officers, the heroic cavalry of the Northern Army drew their sabers and rushed towards the Russian cavalry. The snow-bright saber shines with a cold light in the light of the sun. (To be continued......)
