"Divisional commander! The enemy has finally appeared," one of his subordinates shouted excitedly. Feng Jingzhang calmly raised the binoculars to observe, and sure enough, he found a group of cavalry stopped on the opposite side. He found that the enemy on the opposite side was also observing him. "With two feathers stuck on their backs, they are Polish cavalry divisions. The Polish cavalry division is known as the hussars, and this time I want to see if this hussars can fly. Brethren! It's still the same sentence, when the two soldiers meet, the brave wins, attack! Suddenly, the soldiers could not stop at peace, drew their sabers, raised their sabers and shouted, and slapped their horses to attack.

Feng Jingzhang wanted to slap the horse and attack, but suddenly realized that something was wrong. In the past, he took the lead and developed the habit of rushing to kill. Taking the lead and charging into battle, there was no doubt. When he was in the Qing court, if the chief official took the lead in rushing and killing, the honor could not be said. However, Feng Jingzhang's recklessness was reprimanded by He Meng more than once, after all, he was a senior commander, and he should know how to put himself in the right position. He Meng had repeatedly warned him that he was so glorious in battle, but he should not forget that he had more than 10,000 brothers under his command, and as a senior commander, he must not act recklessly.

Feng Jingzhang controlled his desire to attack, so he had no choice but to perform his duties and command the battle. There were more than a dozen guards around, with rifles in their hands and short guns in their waists, to protect the safety of the division commander at any time. After the Polish cavalry discovered the Chinese cavalry, they also attacked quickly, and it was impossible to retreat back. In addition, when attacking the blocking positions of the Chinese army, the Poles suffered heavy casualties, and they were unable to stare dryly, and the Polish cavalry seemed to release their anger, and they also rushed towards them with slogans.

In the blink of an eye, the two armies were scuffled. The neighing of horses, the crash of swords. intertwined to form a chorus of death. A Chinese soldier of short stature and very strong was confronted by a tall, burly Polish cavalryman. The Polish cavalryman slashed with a ferocious sword. It seems to have exhausted all its strength. He wanted to kill the other party with a single sword. If the Chinese soldier took this knife, he would be knocked off his horse even if he did not die.

I saw that the Chinese soldier's figure turned outward, and he did not take the knife at all, but deftly dodged outward. The Chinese soldier dodged the knife and quickly turned his horse's head, while the Polish soldier was slow to move in a state of leaning forward due to his excessive strength and throwing himself into the air. When the guy was about to turn his horse's head, the Chinese soldiers rushed to the horse. He didn't make a chopping motion at all, but stretched out his saber flat, and with the momentum of the horse, the tip of the knife lightly slashed across the neck of the Polish cavalry.

The carotid artery of a Polish soldier was cut. Blood poured in. The Polish soldier's mind quickly went blank and he fell off his horse. In the fight, it is not all four or two thousand pounds, with skillful blades, liliang against liliang is also being staged. A black-faced man bumps into a white-faced man, and both of them have the same beard, but the white-faced man is a bit burlier. The two were dazzled and fought for 3 rounds without a win. In the 4th round, the white-faced man bought a flaw. As a result, the black-faced man was stabbed in the back. There was a cut on his back, and blood flowed out.

This move angered the black-faced man, I saw him staring at a pair of leopard eyes, slapping the horse forward and slashing vigorously, the white-faced man tried to continue to buy flaws, how did he know that the black-faced man was also a false move, I saw him shake his wrist, change the direction of the saber just on the white-faced man's arm. Seeing that half of his arm fell to the ground along with the saber, the white-faced man opened his mouth to see that his hand was gone. The black-faced man showed mercy and slapped him off the horse with the back of his knife.

Due to the fact that the Polish odd soldiers were in a long retreat formation, the forward force was not very large. Soon the forward forces were eliminated. When Slaw heard this, a large number of Chinese cavalry appeared in front of him and was dumbfounded. The commander of the Russian army said urgently: "General Sław, the Chinese army wants to eat us, and now we can't hesitate, we must launch a decisive attack." There was no way out but to open a bloody road, and the Russian and Polish cavalry quickly plunged into the melee and stubbornly assaulted outward.

The Chinese cavalry was fighting more and more, and the situation on the battlefield was one-sided. Sław and the Russian division commander led half of the men and horses to break through the first interception, and then faced the second interception. Sław and the Russian division commander, under the desperate protection of their subordinates, made great efforts to break through the second interception, but faced the third interception. At this time, it is shouting that the heavens are not working, and the earth and the earth should not be. The Russian and Polish cavalry protection commander broke through the second interception, with less than 2,000 troops. Seeing this situation, Sław knew that there was nothing he could do, so he killed himself with a sword. When the Polish cavalry saw that the commander had committed suicide, they immediately lost the will to resist and surrendered.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, the Russian division commander was not so stupid, but chose to surrender. The fighting did not end until 2 p.m. The small number of stragglers who abandoned their horses and tried to flee on the ridges on both sides were met with infantry following and pursuing along the ridges on both sides, and most of them were captured, with about 300 people escaping. At noon, Commander Lu Changlin saw that there was no suspense in the battle, so he ordered the 5th Cavalry Division to attack the enemy.

The Russian cavalry divisions facing each other on the western flank sensed that the situation was not good and immediately retreated. The 5th Division followed the pursuit, and the Russian army fled all the way without a fight. The 5th Division pursued all the way to Jinghe, where the Russian cavalry did not stop at all, but fled towards Nilek. Since Jinghe was an empty city, the small number of troops defending it also chose to flee, and the 5th Cavalry Division occupied Jinghe bloodlessly. After the war, 4,500 Russian and Polish cavalry were killed, 6,200 wounded, and more than 9,000 captured.

Killing 1,000 enemies and self-inflicting 800 losses is the least common sense. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Cavalry Divisions paid the price of more than 5,000 people, of whom 1,500 were killed. The largest losses were suffered by the 1st Division, with casualties amounting to 2500 people. After the battle, Lu Changlin ordered Feng Jingzhang to lead the 1st Cavalry Division back to Changji for correction, and ordered the 2nd Division to go to Jinghe to join the 5th Cavalry Division to strengthen the defense. At the same time, the 3rd and 4th Cavalry Divisions were ordered to assist the 1st Infantry Corps in the battle. After Lu Changlin finished deploying, he and the 1st Division returned to Changji.

He Meng received the battle report of the Wusu River Valley, and immediately ordered Lin Xiong to attack the fortification, asking him to take Kuitun within three days. "Report to the commander, the 5th Cavalry Division pursued the Russian army, unexpectedly occupied Jinghe, and captured a large number of military supplies and food." Commander, the capture of Jinghe is indeed an unexpected gain, but the cavalry troops can't defend the city! He Meng pondered for a moment and said: "The 4th Infantry Division has completed the blocking task, and the 4th Division is ordered to cooperate with the 2nd Artillery Brigade to immediately advance to Jinghe."

The Russian army in Kuitun did not choose to flee, but desperately defended. The commander of the defending Russian army was loyal to his duty and offered to live and die with Kuitun. In this regard, Lin Xiong miscalculated the will of the Russian army to resist, thinking that they would definitely choose to break through and then annihilate the Russian army in the field.

Frankly speaking, the war has reached such an extent that it is already a critical juncture for the survival of the nation, especially after the Chinese army captured the Baikal region, the Russians' desire to fight for their country has risen, so the combat effectiveness of the Russian soldiers has invisibly exploded.

Three days later, the Changji Command. "What, when the Russian army breaks through, you were kicked in the head by a donkey, the Russian army held out for three days, how could it still break through? What fortress is strong, and what do you eat? What to launch a group charge, bastard, are you going to take the soldiers to their deaths, I shot you. Have you forgotten how the central cluster breached the fortifications? Time? Okay, give you another 4 days, or come to me with your head on your head. He Meng put down the phone, and the anger of the whirring was still gone.

"Commander, you are too strict with Lin Xiong!" The chief of staff said. "If I don't beat him, I'm going to my tail again. As soon as he praised him, he didn't know what his surname was, and he was actually looking forward to the Russian army breaking through, so he simply played the piano randomly. "The commander of the Russian army in Kuitun is very wise, he knows what the consequences of breaking through the siege are......" "The current situation has changed greatly, in the past, the Russian army would choose to surrender in desperate situations, but now the Russian army has changed significantly, and their will to resist has been strengthened, which should be paid enough attention to by us."

Three more days passed, and at dusk that day, three tunnels led to the base of the Kuitun city wall. The Chinese army did not move for three days, which confused the defending Russian army and made them rejoice. In the army headquarters after dark, the army commander Lin Xiong looked at the pocket watch with a solemn expression, when the needle and minute hand pointed to 8 o'clock, Lin Xiong waved his hand vigorously, "Detonate!" A combat staff officer pressed the detonator, only to see the flames shake the mountain with a flash of fire.

At three explosion sites on the east side of Kuitun, three 20-meter-wide openings appeared, and the smoke of gunpowder cleared and the city wall disappeared. Then the artillery fire began to rage, and after 20 minutes, the artillery fire stopped, and the soldiers who had been waiting for them attacked. In less than an hour, the attacking troops stormed into the city. At midnight, the four directions of Kuitun, southeast, northwest and northwest were broken through. After dawn, the battle came to an end. The commander of the Russian army, Zuihou, chose to commit suicide at all times, and Kuitun was captured.

The capture of Kuitun took seven days, and the troops rested and replenished supplies, and another seven days were spent escorting prisoners and transporting the wounded. Since the Russian army won half a month to prepare, the result affected the direction of the entire battle situation.

In the Changji headquarters, Chief of Staff Lei Zhensheng said: "Commander, our troops are limited, and the cavalry troops have suffered great losses, so in order to ensure combat effectiveness, we must replenish them in time." He Meng nodded and said, "Telegraph the Lanzhou base to immediately transport additional troops." In addition, the provincial governor Lin Xu was notified to immediately transfer the seriously injured who were sent to Urumqi to Lanzhou for treatment. "There is a base of the Western Front Army in Lanzhou City, and there are 50,000 supplementary troops in the base, which can provide supplementary troops to the troops with large losses at any time.

Zuihou He Meng said: "Chief of Staff, you immediately start to clean up, the headquarters is moved forward, and my headquarters is located in Kuitun." He Meng walked out of the headquarters and went to Lu Changlin's headquarters, he wanted to find Lu Changlin to drink so that he could celebrate. (To be continued......)

PS: A hearty victory, but also at a cost.
