In Shengjing City, the 14th and 17th armies of the Imperial Army threw themselves into the construction of fortifications with high morale. In the battle yesterday afternoon, the Imperial Army almost completely annihilated the Russian 15th Cavalry Division at a small cost, which caused a great shock to the whole army. The invincible Cossack cavalry was like a chicken in front of the Imperial Army, allowing the Imperial Army to shoot and kill, and this battle was too enjoyable. The total losses of the Imperial Army yesterday were less than a hundred. Moreover, most of the losses were inflicted by the cavalry when they finally pursued the Russian cavalry, and the losses paid by the 14th Brigade against the Russian 15th Cossack Cavalry Division were very small.

After completely annihilating the 15th Cossack Cavalry Division of the Russian Army, after cleaning up the battlefield, they received a commendation order from the Emperor Long Yufei, which was very excited about the more than 70,000 officers and soldiers of the 14th Army and the 17th Army. This undoubtedly shows that their battle in Shengjing was affirmed by Emperor Long Yufei, which is a great honor for ordinary officers and soldiers!

In Shengjing City, the Shengjing General's Mansion has become the headquarters of the Imperial Army in Shengjing City. Although during the battle, many buildings in Shengjing City were destroyed by the artillery fire of the Imperial Army. However, quite a few of the buildings have been preserved. In addition, there was a Manchu imperial palace in Shengjing City, but these generals did not dare to live in it. That's what only the emperor can live in. If they dare to live in, I am afraid that the next day's impeachment of them will be full of Long Yufei's bookcase.

"Lao Kang. Although we completely annihilated one of the Russian cavalry divisions yesterday, according to the information we received. The main force of the 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian army has already arrived in Zhangwu, and it is only eighty kilometers away from Shengjing City. Nearly 20,000 Cossack cavalry, a very big threat to us. At least we should reduce our activities outside the city. Major General Chen Wenjie, commander of the 17th Army, said. After all, the might of twenty thousand Cossack cavalry should not be underestimated. If the Imperial Army remained in Shengjing, it could ignore the threat of Russian cavalry. But if you're outside the city, you're in trouble.

"Yes! There were too many cavalry of the Russians, in this regard. We are too far from them. How nice it would be if the Russian 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps also attacked our fortified positions, as yesterday the 15th Cossack Cavalry Division did! Major General Kang Rui, commander of the 14th Army, sighed. Yesterday's heroic offensive of the Russian army. He was shocked, like a moth to a fire. In that case, no matter how many cavalry the Russian army has, there is no need to worry about it at all. The number of cavalry in the Russian army is always incomparable to that of the Imperial Army's bullets and shells, right?

"Haha! The Russians already suffered a big loss yesterday. Will they still be fooled? The commander of the Russian army who set off had his brain caught in the door. Chen Wenjie, commander of the 17th Army, said with a smile. Those Russians are not fools either. The same when they will go on twice?

"Hey, Lao Chen, that's hard to say. Russians are very stubborn, one can even describe them as paranoid. Yesterday we killed a reorganized cavalry division of the Russians, more than 6,000 people! Do you think those Russians will give up? If we defend the city, they won't have the slightest chance, they can just stare dryly. No matter how powerful their cavalry is, there is no way to use cavalry to attack the city! If they want revenge. It is only possible to attack our troops deployed outside the city. It's an opportunity for them, just for us. It's also an opportunity. If we can find a way to send the Russians to death outside the city, it will be of great help to us to defeat the Russians in the future, and even for the battle in the Kannai, it will also play a role in facilitating! Major General Kang Rui said. Fighting in northern China, especially in the Mongol steppes and in the future invasion of Siberia, the Russian cavalry would pose a great threat to the Imperial Army. Destroying a little more Russian cavalry now will reduce the threat in the future. In addition, they will also be able to occupy a higher position in the future empire* military with these achievements.

Major General Chen Wenjie nodded, although he felt that it was unlikely, and those Russians would probably not be fooled. But who can say for sure? What if those Russians are really that stupid? This is a great opportunity for the Empire and them.

"Okay, then let's set it up and wait for those Russians to come to the door?" Major General Chen Wenjie said. Anyway, even if those Russians are not fooled, there will not be much loss for the Imperial Army. At most, some barbed wire and cement were wasted, and the bodies of the soldiers. If the Russians are really fooled, they will make a lot of money!

"Haha, okay, then we'll do it again. However, this battle will continue to be fought by our 14th Army! Major General Kang Rui said.

"Lao Kang, you're not authentic! Yesterday's battle was fought by your 14th Army. This time it's the turn of our 17th Army! Major General Chen Wenjie said. After all, credit can't always be earned by the 14th Army, right? In that case, how can the 17th Army still be mixed!

"Old Chen, this time we have to face 20,000 Cossack cavalry, which is not comparable to the thousands of Cossack cavalry yesterday. We'll have to throw at least three or four brigades out of the country. In this way, it was still the 14th Brigade that was responsible for the frontal line, and then the 17th Army sent out two brigades to take charge of the defense line on both flanks. In addition, the 14th Brigade put another brigade in reserve. What do you think? Major General Kang Rui said.

"Okay, no problem, then it's decided!" Major General Chen Wenjie said. Such an arrangement has fully taken into account the interests of both sides. If Major General Chen Wenjie is no longer satisfied, it will not be authentic.

Soon, Major General Chen Wenjie issued an order to prepare for war with the orders of the commander, and tens of thousands of soldiers of the Imperial Army went to the west of Shengjing City to build fortifications. The original fortifications were only frontal fortifications, and this time the fortifications on both flanks had to be built to avoid being detoured by the Russian cavalry. Combined with the efforts of those Qing prisoners of war, the fortifications were completed in just one day.

In addition to the three-kilometer defensive line on the front, there were two kilometers of defensive lines on each flank, which were defended by the 17th and 35th brigades of the Imperial Army. In addition, in addition to the 120 75-mm field guns deployed on the city walls, an artillery position was built outside the city, and 48 75-mm field guns and 24 105-mm light howitzers were deployed. After all, the 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian army also carried some artillery. Although there are not many of them, if these Russian troops open artillery, the Imperial Army will have to suppress them with artillery.

In order to avoid a sneak attack by the Russian cavalry at night, in addition to pulling three barbed wires, a lot of mines were laid in front of the defensive line. Unless you enter and exit through the reserved passage in Guò, you will not be able to break through those minefields at all.

The Imperial Army had completed its combat preparations and was waiting for the Russians to come to the door.

As expected by Major General Kang Rui, the head of Lieutenant General Igdinaev, the commander of the 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army, was really caught by the door, and under the banner of avenging the 15th Cossack Cavalry Division, the main force of the 4th Cossack Cavalry Corps of the Russian Army set off from Zhangwu and marched towards Shengjing City. After receiving a warning from the scout cavalry, the Imperial Army closed the three gates of Shengjing City except for the West Gate and entered a state of emergency combat readiness.

Major General Chen Wenjie and Major General Kang Rui also appeared on the western wall of Shengjing City. The Russian army has arrived, will they really attack again? This made it impossible for either of them to grasp it. However, they are fully prepared. As long as the Russians dare to attack, it will be enough for them to pay a heavy price.

20,000 Cossack cavalry, stopped almost ten kilometers from Shengjing. Although the distance is too far, some of them are not very clear. However, you can feel the power of that black ocean. The Cossack cavalry, dressed in black cloaks, gathered together like a black sea, which put great pressure on the Imperial Army.

"Oh my God! So many Russian cavalry! Even if all the cavalry of the entire Imperial Army were combined, it was estimated that there would not be so many! A young soldier exclaimed.

"Humph! How can you do more? They also attacked with so many cavalry yesterday, and in the end, weren't they beaten by us? In front of our artillery and heavy machine guns, the cavalry had only the life to be slaughtered! A sergeant squad leader said disdainfully. Yesterday's victory gave them a lot of confidence.

It can be said that it was the annihilation of the 15th Cossack Cavalry Division of the Russian Army yesterday that greatly boosted the confidence of the Imperial Army, and even in the face of the powerful Russian cavalry, it was able to fight them without changing its face. What is the use of the Russian cavalry with a strong impact? It's not that the light yì was shot and killed.

"Tsk! Twenty thousand cavalry! The Russian army has more than one cavalry army, when will the Imperial Army also have so many cavalry! Major General Chen Wenjie said with emotion.

"Wait, we'll have that day too. After the unification of China, we can get a large number of war horses. With the population of the empire, forming 100,200,000 cavalry, isn't that just like playing? ”

"Haha, yes, no country can compare to us in terms of population. However, as His Majesty the Emperor said, our population is too large, and we, the soldiers, have to fight for enough living space for the vast population of the empire! Major General Chen Wenjie said.

It is the mission of the Empire's soldiers to destroy the enemies of the Empire, defend the interests of the Empire, and strive for a broader living space for the people of the Empire! (To be continued......)
