“The general’s order to us is…”

"Of course, we went north along the east bank of the Transnistria, destroyed all the bridges along the way, and stopped the Austrian army from crossing the river."

"Nakirhinau..."

"You don't have to worry about this. The Jews set up 10,000 elite troops there, all of which were organized according to the latest European standards. The Ottomans would not take advantage of it."

"Understood"

Alina immediately took action overnight.

The two mixed reconnaissance battalions were exploring the way in front and quickly approached Chernovts, and personally led a large army to follow him.

......

Vinnica.

Tiechi was secretly annoyed.

"Even though I know the importance and particularity of Chernovtet, I still ignore it. For the Austrians, arriving in Vinnica through Chernovtet is a killing two birds with one stone."

"One of the way, they can take this swaying Ukrainian province by the way, and secondly, they can confuse our sight, so that we will only focus on the Principality of Yassi!"

"But...", he breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I set up a brigade on the periphery. At present, Suvorov has set up a blocking front west of Vinnica City, obviously trying to stop our army from going around. He would never know that I have a brigade by the Transnistr River."

"At this time, if our army bypasses its front and moves westward, he will definitely stop it with all his might, which will create conditions for the entry of the Austrian army."

"The question is, can Alin A Brigade cross the Transnistria in front of the Austrian army?"

"Forget it, I don't want to have so many things. Even if they can cross the Transniest River in front of Alina, the existence of Alina's roster is extremely valuable."

He had just arrived in Vinnica and received news from the Principality of Kishinau and learned from them that the Austrian army had entered Chernovtse.

"The Jews are really amazing. When it comes to sources, no one can compare to them. Our country ignores Chernovts and does not set up eyeliners there."

"When Suvorov arrived here, he did not attack the castle immediately, with the purpose of attracting our army."

When Techina arrived here, three divisions immediately set up positions near the west gate, north gate and south gate of the castle. During this period, Suvorov naturally wanted to use his cavalry to obstruct, but they were all defeated by Truqin's army.

So, a strange scene appeared.

Suvorov's army set up fronts about five miles west of Vinnica, while Truchen's army set up fronts near the west gate of Vinnica.

"Vinicha City is on the west bank of the South Bug River. If I were to come one step late, I would probably not be able to cross the river. I could only sit and watch the enemy attack the city."

"However, this was obviously done by Suvorov. The Southbug River will be thawed in a few days. At that time, they and the Austrian army will be able to trap our army on the west bank of the Southbug River!"

"They obviously knew that our army had only one army west of the Dnieper River. They seemed to have a big appetite and wanted to swallow all of our army in one go!"

After the position was built, Techina did not launch it immediately, but waited for news about Alin and Agui.

......

One day later.

Techina obviously underestimated the two famous generals Feng Laodong and Suvorov.

When Alin's brigade arrived near Chernovtze, a whole army of Laudon had entered Vinnica Province!

However, they obviously did not discover the existence of the Alin-A Brigade. Laudon only arranged a brigade to guard the village of Nagoriani on the north bank of the Transniest River, which was where the bridge was located, and the remaining army was advancing towards the city of Vinnica at full speed.

When Alina arrived in Nagoriani, he knew why there were bridges here. It turned out that this was the narrowest part of the Transnistria River, less than fifty meters wide!

During the dry season, locals can build bridges here.

Anyway, he faces a choice.

Should we take down the Qiaotou brigade, cut off Laodong's retreat, or continue to guerrilla on the battlefield?

You should know that since Laodong arranged a brigade here, it was obviously to watch the food route. He had an army and went deep into Ukraine. It was impossible for him to carry too much food unless he carried out burning, killing and looting in the Principality of Ukraine. In that case, they would not only fail to stand firm in Ukraine, but would also lose the Chernovtet he had just won.

Chernovts, half of the Ukrainians, will empathize with them.

However, once he launches an attack on the Austrian Bridge Brigade, it will inevitably alarm the main force of Lao Dong. They will definitely return to the aid here. Can his light troops in the brigade hold on?

In the end, he decided to report the news to Techina.

After learning about it, Techina fell into deep thought.

After a while, he made a decision.

"The forests are densely covered with Vinnica and Nagoriani. If Alina is sure that his whereabouts have not been discovered by Laodong, then hide them first and decide how to act in the future."

Some chess pieces, if exposed from the beginning, are obviously not good chess.

Tichina, who learned Go under the influence of Qitade, firmly believed in this view.

But the problem arises again. Since he has few troops, he will soon face more than twice the enemy's attack!

Suvorov had 30,000 people. The Austrian army was not like the Russians. They were also junior teachers, with each division ranging from 9,000 to 12,000 people. After losing one brigade, Techina only had eight brigades and one regiment, with a total of 25,000 people.

Fortunately, he leaned against the city of Vinnica, where he could provide him with endless supply of food and grass. The black soil here is not like the north. In March and April, a large number of black soil can be excavated to fill grass bags to set up a line.

So, on the north, west and south of the city of Vinnica, he set up three positions, two brigades each in the north and south, and three brigades to the west. He himself brought a brigade and the regiment of the military headquarters to settle in Vinnica.

Due to its firepower advantage, the defensive front set up by the Truchens obviously did not have layers of trenches like the Russian and Austrian troops. They simply set up two trenches with a depth of one meter and a width of about one meter outside. Two layers of straw bags filled with soil were placed outside the trenches.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Such a front is unimaginable to Europeans today. If they set up their own defensive fronts, they must be deep grooves and high barriers.

But the Truchens, who have entered the modern and modern firearm era, need not be like this.

Their fire density and fire rate can completely repel the enemy's full-strength attack.

In order to avoid enemy artillery, especially howitzers falling from the sky, they also dug bulletproof craters in the trenches that they could avoid.

With the distance viewing effect at the top of the city of Vinnica, the observer can make accurate observations and judgments on the enemy's artillery positions and the number of troops that may come to attack.

Tichi's heart was completely relieved at this moment.

"I have few people, and the enemy will definitely take the initiative to attack, so I will use this defensive line to consume them."

He also thought about whether the Austrians or Northern Poles would approach Vinnica from the north, but in the end he vetoed it.

"Laudon was the most famous general of the Austrians at this time, and was also a general who was trusted by Emperor Joseph II and Empress Dowager Maria."

(It was originally General Von Lasi who was more trusted, but because Von Lasi died in the surprise attack on Berlin, Lao Dong stood out)

"The army he led must be the elite of the Austrians. For the Austrians, if they use the Vinnica battle to annihilate our army in large quantities and obtain part of the land in Western Ukraine, the purpose will be achieved. It is impossible to get involved in the battle between our country and Russia, and this is not in line with the Austrian habits."

"So, from the standpoint of the Austrians, they hope to make a quick battle and will never follow the rhythm of the Russians."

This time Tiechi was obviously guessing correctly. After being convinced that no enemy appeared in his rear, Feng Laodong immediately arranged his army in the north and south of the city, and was also about five miles away from the castle.

At this point, more than 50,000 Russian and Austrian coalition troops surrounded Vinnica and Techina.

Seeing this, Techina immediately started discussing with the lord of Vinnica City, Revsky, the brother of the Grand Duke of Ukraine Zavusky, and Kazimiri, the commander of the three regular brigades in the city.

"Everyone, we can't wait for the enemy to attack."

This was what Kazimiri thought, but he did not think clearly about how to act in the face of such a large army. The old Rewusky was willing to concentrate his strength here and wait for the enemy to attack.

"I'm going to hide it from you. I've put a brigade on the periphery, but the power of this brigade is still a little weak. This time, there are also a large number of cavalry in the army of Suvorov and Laodong. All cavalry are equipped with flintlock guns. Even our army dare not take it lightly."

"It is said that you also have a brigade's winged cavalry and a prequel Cossack. I suggest you release them all, cross the Nanbuge River and go deep into the enemy's side. You do not expect them to destroy the enemy in large quantities, but to harass the enemy and cooperate with the brigade I put outside in combat."

The reason why Techina said this is because both brigades were arranged on the east bank of the Nanbug River, and only three regular Ukrainian brigades formed in the style of the Truchen Army were stationed in the city.

"I'll go"

Kazimiri said without hesitation.

"As for the defense of the castle, there will be the lord and general."

There is a pontoon bridge on the shore of Vinnica City. Kazimiri went out with a hundred personal soldiers. After crossing the pontoon bridge, he disappeared in the distance.

Revuski asked, "Why don't the general discuss with Kazimiji before letting him out?"

Techina smiled and said, "Since it's guerrilla warfare, there are definitely no rules. It depends on how Kazimiri and Alina act according to the opportunity."

In fact, Rewusky didn't want to lead troops to defend the city at all. He was completely relieved when he saw more than 20,000 Truqin troops coming.

"In the past, the Truchens could scatter around Europe with 5,000 people and defeated the two armies of Chernesov and Von Lasi. Now there are more than 20,000 people, and the castle is completely fine."

Then he said, "General, I will give you the command of these three brigades."

Tichi would naturally not be polite, so he agreed immediately.

He also got a piece of news from Rhewusky that the grand duke of Ukraine, Zavusky, had retreated to the Lviv area after losing Kiev, which shows that the Austrians would not enter Ukraine from there.
