"Colonel Denikin, good news for you, you will be able to return home in three days." A Russian lieutenant said to Denikin, who was standing in front of the window and looking into the distance.

"Well, I know it." Denikin reluctantly withdrew his gaze, then walked to the table and picked up a glass of water and took a sip. "Ensign, if I can, I hope to return home later. There is a lot to learn from here. The industry of the Huaxia Republic is not stronger than ours, but the combat effectiveness is several notches higher than ours, and in this war, we invested a lot of resources, but we turned them into fortress guns that are not easy to move, and turned them into reinforced concrete fortresses. We lacked sufficient mobility and firepower, and the tactics of emphasizing positional defense rather than offense allowed victory to slip away from us. ”

"Colonel, if you can, you can naturally go back later, now there are many people who have left here, they have had enough of the environment and food here, and they are eager to leave as soon as possible, your wish is well fulfilled. But to avoid trouble, I'd like you to write a report yourself. The second lieutenant paused and continued. It's good that you have this idea, but the war is a matter for those officials and gentlemen, and it has nothing to do with us. Isn't it? ”

"No, it has something to do with me, I was born in Warsaw, and it will be occupied by the Germans in the event of a war, and I will go to liberate my homeland and homeland." Denikin said with a gloomy face. The defeat in the war was a considerable blow to the European-born Russian colonel, who had fantasized about commanding his cavalry to break the yellow defenses in the vast expanse of Siberia and harvest the heads of the other men with sabers. In his opinion. The First Sino-Russian War was lost because of Russia's limited strength and lack of preparation, and after almost six years of preparation, the powerful Russian steamroller was able to crush the decaying and declining country of the East.

The ideal is beautiful. But the reality was terrifying, and when the Russian colonel and his cavalry regiment participated in the Russian northern front to block the Chinese army, he realized how wrong he was. In the face of those roaring steel monsters in China, the Russian colonel sensibly chose to avoid, although his cavalry regiment had a small number of 47MM guns but did not advance with the army, the weapons in his hands were nothing more than sabers, horse guns, grenades and machine guns, by the way, there were 4 50MM mortars! These things are really bad against those iron turtles.

Denikin did not launch a decisive charge with cavalry with grenades, as his Cossack counterparts did. In the eyes of the Russian officer. The Cossack cavalry was more like robbers than regular combat troops, and you could let them wreak havoc in the weakly defended areas of the enemy, and you could let them encircle the rebels in the steppe. But if it's really time to fight with the other army, then it's better to save it. The disorganized ranks of the army made it impossible for this force to compete with the disciplined enemy forces.

The cavalry officer wisely led his men around the enemy in front of him, and he began to search for the infantry units of the Chinese Army, and Denikin was very clear about his advantage, which was mobility. Find the opposing infantry and rush over with lightning speed to disrupt the opponent's formation. Failure to exert the firepower that the Chinese Republic is proud of is the only way to win.

Denikin was lucky to find such a force. The two battalions of cavalry he led succeeded in intercepting a Chinese infantry battalion, and then, amid the shouts of the mountains, the Russian cavalry drew their shiny sabers and rushed towards the unstable Chinese infantry battalion. Then, Denikin experienced the bloodiest battle since he joined the army!

"They're so tenacious!" Whenever he recalls the battle, Denikin would say this about the army in front of him. At this time, the Huaxia Army discovered it a little late, and when the cavalry launched a charge, the Huaxia Army did not complete the preparations after the group. And by this time, the mortars and machine guns of the Russians had already begun to roar. And destroyed several exposed points of fire, and the Russians' saber was only 500 meters away from themselves! In Denikin's opinion, he has no reason to lose at all!

The fire interception of the Chinese army did not play a big role, and the Russian cavalry arranged in waves quickly rushed through under the cover of gunsmoke and guns. The Russian cavalry excitedly danced the sabers and pistols in their hands, ready to harvest the lives of the other party at any time, but when they found that they could really use the saber to cut off the other party's head, the Chinese soldiers directly carried mine grenades and even mortar shells to meet the Russian saber!

The sound of this overwhelming explosion continued to sound in the charging horse team, and the originally well-organized formation was instantly torn apart, both sides were filling with human lives, the Russian cavalry tried to divide the opponent, and the Chinese infantry was like a to block the torrent of the opponent's attack. The two sides fought quite closely, and when another Chinese army arrived, Denikin finally decided to retreat. Although according to Denikin's estimates, there were not five out of ten Chinese troops in the battalion opposite, but he lost nearly a battalion of cavalry! This is still a situation when the other side does not have artillery and has the first hand on its own!

When Denikin withdrew from the battlefield with his troops with heavy losses, what happened later made him a little crying and laughing, his battle could be called a failure, the cavalry died more than the opposing infantry, did he achieve any special tactical purpose. If it were in peacetime, if someone stumbled him, he might have gone to a court-martial. As a result, he couldn't cry or laugh, and he actually won a commendation! Of course, at the signal of the Shangguan, the battle report must be changed, and the final result is that Denikin led two battalions of cavalry to successfully defeat a regiment of the Chinese Army, winning time for the transfer of troops!

And then, after a short period of calm, the Chinese Army launched another attack, and this offensive, the Russians dispatched all their elite forces, and under the leadership of General Linevich, the Russian field corps led all the guys they could to take a shot and started a big battle with Cai Yi's armored brigade! This time, in Denikin's view, the Russian army is still full of good cards, at least until Peng Yi's main army appears, the Russian army is overwhelmingly superior. As a result, the war is still in danger.

It was only in this battle that Denikin fully realized that his opponent did not rely on absolute superiority in firepower and strength to achieve victory. Not to mention the pervasive harassment and sneak attack of the Chinese Army during the beginning of the march, even after Linevich successfully captured the main force of the opponent and launched a siege, the opponent actually dared to launch a surprise attack, and what is even more unbelievable is that under the blockade of the Russian armored forces and anti-aircraft artillery, the Chinese Army actually succeeded in the assault! After that, there is an endless war of attrition. The Russian army attacked again and again, and the Chinese army defended layer by layer, alternately covering the retreat.

In this battle, Denikin fully felt the flexibility of the opponent's tactics and the efficiency of the organization, which was also an offensive, but Denikin felt that the attack of the Russian armored forces was a bit like bandits raiding homes and houses, finding a target, everyone rushed together, no one thought of guarding against other possible threats, and no one could command these tanks and armored vehicles well. THEN, HE FELL DIRECTLY INTO THE TRAP OF THE OTHER PARTY, AND WAS BEATEN VIOLENTLY BY THE CHINESE ARMY, WHICH WAS FAR WEAKER THAN HIMSELF, AND WHEN THE HEAVY ARTILLERY UNIT OPENED FIRE, THE CHINESE ARMY HAD ALREADY WITHDRAWN FROM ITS ORIGINAL POSITION, AND THOSE MAJESTIC 107MM HEAVY ARTILLERY WERE OFTEN BITTEN BY THE OTHER PARTY.

As for the most cowardly result? This time Denikin was not as lucky as last time, and ran out of the opponent's heavy encirclement with his troops. In the end, the Russian colonel from Poland and his troops were surrounded by the main army under the command of Peng Yi. Then came the prisoner of war camp. I've been there until now. If nothing else, Denikin was willing to return to Russia immediately, but a week earlier, Denikin was interested in a Chinese armored unit that had been withdrawn from the front line, and he knew this unit, which was supposed to be part of the most elite armored unit in China, the 1st Separate Armored Brigade under the command of Cai Ye. Because in the last war, he clearly remembered that the most obvious mark of this unit was a heavy cavalry with a spear drawn on the hull. Therefore, the Russian army also has another name for this unit, called the Huaxia Lancer Brigade.

Unlike most of the officers of the Russian aristocracy, Denikin was a general from Poland who was still very discerning and conscious, and he was also very realistic, knowing that he learned war in war. And when he had the opportunity to get close to these magic weapons of the Huaxia Army, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity. So he tried every means to get close to this unit, and even came forward to coordinate the labor issue of prisoners of war, and he was scolded as a traitor and traitor by quite a few of his colleagues behind his back. But he still went his own way.

And now when the news came that he could go home, he was not happy, and he wanted to delay now, because he knew that as long as he could not go back this wave, he was afraid that he would stay here for at least half a year. Because it's already the end of October. In the future, the cold winter in Siberia is coming! Thinking of this, Denikin began to write a report without saying a word, to ask his superiors to let the others go back first, and he was unable to travel long distances because he was "unwell". Asking to go back next year, he wanted to know more about this army, which had broken down hundreds of thousands of Russian troops in a matter of months. And just as he finished writing the report and sealed it and prepared to hand it over to the relevant personnel, the door opened!

"You're Denikin?" Coming in were several officers of the Chinese Army. They looked at Denikin and asked.

"I am, what do you do?" Denikin asked.

"Please come with us and don't try to resist, or you will hurt others." An officer said in fluent Russian. Then the two soldiers picked up Denikin and left the room, and on the table was still the report he had just written and had not yet sent out, but now it seemed that this report was of little use, because now the owner of this report had just gotten into trouble, and it seemed that there was no going back!

"Is it true that our counterintelligence work is a joke?" In a secret room, a Chinese Army officer said with a smile. And Denikin, who was opposite him, shuddered a little!
