Chapter 563: The Turtle in the Urn

"Brothers, hurry up, you must get ahead of the Russians, rush to Torahim, and cut off all the retreats of these Russian devils!"

Zhong Junfeng rode his horse and whipped while shouting loudly, and the sound spread far away with the wind of the grassland, and the more than 500 cavalry under his command could all hear it clearly. Everyone was desperately whipping the cattle, and the war horse Herod screamed in pain, and the speed became faster and faster.

This time, Zhong Junfeng's target was Tolahim, the main body of the Tangnu-Ulianghai is a basin sandwiched between the Western Sayan Mountains and the Tangnu-Ula Mountain, in the basin, the upper reaches of the Yenisei River and the Lesser Yenisei River flow through here, Torahem is an important crossing on the Great Yenisei River, and it is also the only way for Russia to withdraw from the Tangnu-Uliang Sea and return to Russia.

After receiving the news that the Feng army had captured Borja, Ma Zhanshan judged that the Russians would shrink their forces and withdraw their troops from Tangnu Ulianghai. Come as you want, leave as you want, can't you treat China's territory as a hotel?

Ma Zhanshan had long made up his mind to leave all these Russians behind. He and Zhong Junfeng carefully studied the possible route of the Russians, and finally settled on Torakhim, which was the most recent and easiest route.

"Commander Zhong, it's time for you to work hard now, you must get ahead of the Russians, occupy Torahim, and then confiscate and destroy all the fishing boats around the riverbank, so as not to give the Russians a chance to escape."

"Master Ma, now it's a complete speed competition, it depends on who can run to the front, who will have the upper hand, people don't need too many, five hundred is enough, but the horses must be sufficient, one person and three horses, not one less."

"No problem, I'll prepare it right away."

Many 500 elite soldiers and 1,500 war horses were all prepared, three war horses each. Two of them were on alternate horses, and the other pack horses were responsible for carrying munitions and rations, and when they were ready, they ran as fast as they could.

Along the way, they didn't have any rest, crossed the barren mountains and mountains, crossed the small rivers and streams, and they were all moving forward, forward, and forward!

Just as they had run about fifty kilometers, a small group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the other side of the pasture. It's coming this way.

"It's Russian!" Zhong Junfeng suddenly became alert: "Quick, destroy them." ”

The cavalry of the first company then broke away from the group and began to rush towards the Russians at an accelerated pace, like a fan, and the patrolling Russian cavalry was sent by Pakrov. The Russians are already preparing to withdraw to the Far East. Therefore, it was necessary to ensure the safety of the roads, and Pakrov sent a large number of soldiers to patrol and guard.

Since Liu Shaoqing had that bad idea last time. The Feng army sent all the White Russians and Mongolian bandits. The Mongolian bandits knew the steppe, and the White Russians were familiar with the Russians, and their cooperation together was a perfect match.

Syndicates of professional raiders were formed, and they did all kinds of evil on the Russian border, killing people and stealing goods. Slaughter villages, sneak attacks on roads and logistics warehouses. From time to time, sporadic Russian soldiers hunted and killed, and then cut off the heads of the people, and asked the Fengjun for merit and reward.

With the activities of these guys. It is very troublesome for the Russians, and they must send at least a hundred or more people on each patrol, otherwise they will be in danger, especially if they have to withdraw to Russia this time, Pakrov will send even more people.

These cavalry saw a huge cavalry team from a distance, numbering several hundred, they did not have any banners, and they also had three horses per man, which was the custom of the Mongolian bandits. The Russian commander immediately regarded them as a team of bandits, and he hurriedly beckoned his men to meet them, although there were many bandits, they were definitely no match for the regular army, and the Russian cavalry seemed full of confidence.

Seeing that the scouts did not run, but came over, the Feng army was also overjoyed, and they rushed towards the Russians, and the two sides were getting closer and closer, and the Russians were holding their horse pistols tightly in their hands and were about to shoot.

At this time, the Feng army had already unfolded the team, like a fan surface, the two sides were getting closer and closer, the submachine gun in the hand of the Feng army was the first to sound, and the dense bullets were like raindrops, shooting on the body of the Russian soldiers, and suddenly more than a dozen Russians fell under the horses, while the Feng army was unscathed.

After touching the iron plate, the Russians realized in a dream that they did not encounter bandits, but the elite cavalry of the Feng army, because the Feng army was equipped with submachine guns, powerful firepower, and extremely fast rate of fire, if they collided with the Chinese, it would definitely be a dead end.

In addition, these scouts also felt that something was wrong, and the appearance of a large number of Feng troops here was obviously not a good sign, and most of these people wanted to cut off the return of the Russians, and these scouts immediately panicked. They did not dare to fight, so they hurriedly turned their horses around, and rushed back like crazy to report the situation to the commander.

The Russians desperately wanted to run, but the Feng army was merciless, constantly killing one Russian after another, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the Feng soldiers raised their sabers.

The blades sliced through the limbs, blood splattered, limbs flew wildly, and the Russians screamed and fell under their horses, their hard hooves trampling their corpses, turning them into a pile of flesh.

The two sides fought for more than ten minutes, and sixty or seventy Russian soldiers were eliminated, but these scouts were also the elite of the Russian army, and they knew that the matter was important and they had to bring the information back quickly, so some of the Russian soldiers stayed behind and fought desperately, and the remaining twenty or thirty people rushed out desperately, they found a weak point, and more than a dozen people finally killed out.

The soldiers of the Feng army were still chasing after them, Zhong Junfeng hurriedly stopped them: "Brothers, the Russians have discovered us, and the victory or defeat depends entirely on whether our speed can surpass the Russians. ”

Zhong Junfeng's order was extremely serious, and everyone knew that success or failure lay in this move, so they didn't hesitate, and immediately formed a team and ran wildly to the north, the sound of the wind passed in their ears, and the sky gradually darkened.

In the grassland at night, the cold wind is real, and the wolf howl can be heard clearly in the distance, and these beasts have also come out to find food. And just above the grassland, the two cavalry teams did not have any rest and were desperately chasing.

The escaped Russian scouts reported the situation to Pakrov, and he immediately felt that something was wrong, and that the Feng army was preparing to copy his rear route, so Pakrov had sent one of his most elite battalions to let them get ahead of the Feng army. Take control of Torrahim and prepare the ground for the retreat of the large army.

The Russian cavalry also sorted, and the tall Don hippopotamus galloped across the steppe, and the huge hooves of the horses lifted the young grass that had just grown, and the fragrance of the earth was heard. But these Russians have no appetite for appreciation, and they have been running for four or five hours.

It was already midnight, and the shadow of the Chinese had not yet been seen, and these Russian troops were shrouded in a layer of ominous premonition.

"Comrades, just now the scouts heard the hoofs of another group of cavalry on the ground, and they would not be more than ten kilometers away from us. Everyone is working harder, the Chinese can't run! ”

As soon as the Russians heard the news, they all immediately came to their senses, desperately drove the war horses, and ran out for about half an hour. Finally, I saw a torch in the distance. The Russians are overjoyed, damn the Chinese. It's finally just around the corner.

Just when the Russians were overjoyed. Suddenly, a war horse fell to the ground, red blood foam spurted from its mouth and nose, convulsed twice, and then died, and after a war horse fell, more than a dozen war horses followed one after another. The ranks of the Russian army were immediately in disarray.

Seeing that they were about to catch up, this problem actually appeared, and the Russians almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. In fact, it is quite normal to say that the Russians use the Don hippopotamus. This kind of war horse is tall and strong, and has an amazing running speed, which has too many advantages.

But this is Tangnu Ulianghai, which is the home of Mongolian horses, don't look at the Mongolian horses are short and fast, but Mongolian horses have an unparalleled advantage, that is, they have super endurance and are suitable for long-distance running, and the Mongolians relied on them to conquer Shijie.

In this competition of speed, the Russians kept shortening the distance in the early stages, and saw that victory was in sight, but the limit of the Donhippo was also reached, so the horses fell one after another, and all died.

After the war horses, the Russians were immediately eliminated, Zhong Junfeng commanded the troops to maintain an amazing speed, the morning star had appeared in the sky, and it was about to dawn, at this time, a large town appeared in the distance, it was Torrahim!

When Zhong Junfeng saw it, he also sang a breath, his military uniform was all soaked with sweat, and the war horses below were also trembling, and the other soldiers were also like this, everyone was at the limit, if it was a little farther, I was afraid that the Mongolian horse with amazing endurance would not work.

"One Xiangxia Tour, two Xiangshang Search, the others followed me into the city, gathered all the fishing boats and fishermen, and none of them could be left behind!"

The soldiers followed the order and moved quickly, Torrahim was a peaceful town, guarding the estuaries and pastures, with abundant water and grass, and abundant fish, almost a third of the population depended on fishing, and there were more than 30 fishing boats, large and small.

Zhong Junfeng was not polite at all, and confiscated all these fishing boats, and then the door panels, logs, animal skins, etc., which could be used as rafts, were not spared, and they were all collected by the Feng army.

The common people trembled and feared to the extreme, they were often robbed by bandits and horse thieves here, and the Russians had appeared frequently recently, and now after the appearance of the Feng army, they only regarded it as another group of robbers, and a group of unreasonable robbers.

They took away the boats, and then they unloaded the door panels and all the other things, and gathered them all together by the river, and they all burned them all in one fell swoop. These gritted teeth, how can they live, but they all ignored it, and after the Feng army swept away the things, they left a note for each family, as long as they took this certificate, they could get one and a half times the compensation after the war.

Zhong Junfeng personally supervised the burning work by the river, and the first and second companies also returned, and they not only destroyed all the fishing boats, but also demolished a pontoon bridge, and now there are no more tools to cross the river along the Yenisei River, within forty or fifty kilometers!

"Hmph, when the Russians came, the river was still covered with ice, and they could easily pass through, but in the past 20 days, the river has melted, and there is a lot of ice and snow melt on the mountain.

After Zhong Junfeng had dealt with all the ships, he hurriedly moved with his men and horses, preparing to choose a suitable position to attack the Russian army.

At noon, the main forces of the 3rd Cavalry Division in the Far East finally rushed over, and Pakrov's face was full of worry, he had already received a report that the Russian army had not caught up with the Chinese army, and his heart was already half cold.

But he also knew that there was no other way at the moment, only to cross the Yenisei River, there was a glimmer of life, and his men and horses ran to the river, and the rolling water rushed down, the river was at least three or five meters deep, and the waves were so rough that there was no means to cross the river.

"Division commander, the Chinese have burned all the ships, and they have destroyed the pontoon bridges, even the door panels and other things have been burned, what should we do?"

Pakrov's head buzzed suddenly, and he almost fell under the horse, what could he do! At this moment, several more Russian scouts ran over in a panic, almost crying: "Division commander, the pursuit of the Chinese army is only ten kilometers away from us, and they will rush over immediately!"
