225 Aspire Six

Just when the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army was in a row with Belarus on the front, the casualties on both sides were rising straight, and countless lives were filled into this flesh-and-mill battlefield. On the east bank of the Nenjiang River, only three or four kilometers away from the main battlefield where the fierce battle was in full swing. An extremely large cavalry unit had completed the assembly and was quietly passing through the ice of the Nenjiang River in the wind and snow. The cavalry had about 10,000 people, and almost all of them were the cavalry in Jiang JShi's hands. These cavalry were drawn from their respective troops and temporarily formed this cavalry cluster. They were originally intended to be used to encircle the Russian army's rear route and cut off the Central and Eastern Railways, but now they were used for a large-scale riding assault.

The two old brothers of Zhang Zuolin, Wu Junsheng and Tang Yulin, were commanded by Zhang Zuolin. One of them was from a bandit camp and the other was a bandit who robbed the family and robbed the house, but they were both proficient in cavalry combat. In the past few years, they had also commanded the cavalry to defeat Tsarist Russia or the Mongolian tribal armed forces supported by the Japanese, and were also considered tiger generals who could fight for battle in the Fengtian army. In history, the cavalry troops commanded by Wu Junsheng also lost Guo Songling's logistics base in the "Guo-Feng War", which made Guo Songling defeated the poor and defeated.

They were somewhat afraid of today's opponent Russians, but their cavalry troops had fought with the Cossacks and the Buryat cavalry for a while ago, and it seemed that they were not at a disadvantage. It seems that these Russians are really declining now!

Moreover, today's battle situation is clearly the Chinese have the upper hand. These two "cavalry experts" know it in their hearts. The cavalry is not good for fighting tough battles now, but it is perfect for fighting such a down-wind battle. Those infantrymen who are in chaos and have not established a stable front cannot withstand the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry! This battle seems to be the time for them to make contributions... When Jiang JShi issued the order, he clearly stated on the phone that after fighting this battle, he would be rewarded according to meritorious deeds. If they can lead the cavalry to make great contributions, Heilongjiang Province will be their territory in the future.

With such a reward, Wu Junsheng and Tang Yulin also showed their energy to fight desperately. More than 10,000 cavalry crossed the Nenjiang River as fast as possible. Under the cover of wind and snow and night, they advanced towards the Russian army. At this time, the Russian army was attracted by the unprecedentedly fierce battle on the front, but even though they realized how empty their flanks were, they could not draw any force to strengthen them now. More than 10,000 Chinese cavalry, who were definitely not elite, rushed silently to the rear of the Russian army!

Just as the Russian army on the front line was in a desperate battle, the Russian army had achieved some results in their rear area. The Belarusian officers and soldiers who were raided while retreating had retreated one after another. Of course, the army was completely chaotic. Many officers and soldiers even threw away their weapons and crowded together to keep warm. The shells of the Chinese team fell from time to time. Although there was no accurate point, they caused some panic. However, the defeated soldiers of Belarus probably exhausted their physical strength during the escape just now. They did not flee west again, but just sat there numbly, which was a bit resigned to fate.

Major General Liviev, the chief of staff of the Belarus Army, also came down from the European battlefield and was very experienced in packing up defeated soldiers! The Russian army has defeated many wars in Europe! Liviev knew that nothing was more attractive than steaming food for those soldiers who retreated in the cold winter. So the field kitchens were placed in the shortest time, and each field kitchen was equipped with several loyal and reliable officers... As long as the hungry and cold soldiers were attracted by the aroma of food, they would be responsible for reorganizing them into some temporary combat troops. In this way, it took at most a few hours to Liviev could turn tens of thousands of defeated soldiers into an army.

At the same time, in a small wood less than two thousand meters away from Fularki Railway Station, dozens of Japanese mountain artillery cannons have also been set up. A Russian artillery colonel with a gray-white beard called out to his Russian artillery, who were tired like a dead dog, transporting brass-colored shells from the railway station to be neatly stacked. Some communications soldiers were also setting up telephone lines. One end of the telephone line was a scrambled artillery command post, and the other end was connected with artillery observers rushing to the front line. At most, an hour, or even half an hour, this powerful artillery group could play a role!

But at this moment, the soldiers from an infantry company guarded outside suddenly let out a gusty scream. This company was also a temporary piece of equipment, including the Cossacks of the Later Baikal Province, the Jews from Birobizhan, some Buryat Mongolians, and even the Mongols recruited from China. About one-third of the soldiers did not understand Russian, and their temporary commanders did not speak Mongolian (Mongolian also distributed Riyat dialects, Korchin dialects, etc., how can ordinary Russian officials figure it out?).

So when the Mongolians who had been living on the grassland since childhood determined that a large number of cavalry were approaching through the slight vibration of the snow, they had to make gestures and report to their White Russian chief with a few simple Russian words. When the officer who came down from the Western Front figured out the situation, a large area of ​​Chinese cavalry that seemed to cover the entire snowfield had already rushed towards them with savages and rifles!

The Russian artillery colonel was also shocked by the group of Chinese cavalry that suddenly appeared. This dark and might have tens of thousands of people. Not to mention the hundreds of artillery soldiers under his command, even the defeated troops that had not yet been reorganized by Fularki could not resist their impact? Is General Semenov's 60,000 Belarusian army really going to be annihilated tonight by those Easterners who smoked big smokers? Is the glory of the Russian Empire really going to go away forever? Has the omnipotent God really abandoned the Russians?

Those desperate Belarus artillery soldiers did not have so many complex ideas like the old colonel from a noble family. The battle was already desperate to fight, and it was time to avoid unnecessary sacrifice... In the thoughts of these Russians, it was not a particularly shameful thing to defeat the war and be a prisoner. In the two world wars in history, Russian and Soviet prisoners were millions!

"Captain, the previous report said that an old Russian artillery regiment was captured! He was captured with people and artillery, and there was also a Belarusian colonel!"

The news of the capture of the prisoner was soon sent to Wu Junsheng, who was commanding the raid. This Fengtian army giant, who was thick on the outside and thin on the inside, knew how great the credit was for capturing a foreign colonel! You must know that China's foreign wars have been defeated repeatedly since the Opium War. Not to mention the colonel, even the captain has never caught one! This time he has been out of foreign food, and after the battle is over, a national hero's hat is not enough to run away! Moreover, it is not far from Fularki, and the Russians seem to be completely unprepared. If they work harder, they may be able to catch their commander-in-chief. This is a famous person... In the future, whether the Republic of China is surnamed Jiang or Chang, they will not lose their status as a "three-month"?

Thinking of this, his mind also became hot. He pulled out his saber, waved it a few times, pointed at the direction of Fularki ahead, and made a very imposing shape, and shouted in his vague voice (Wu Junsheng speaks with a big tongue, known as Wu Da Tongue) and said, "Brothers, let me fight again, which one can catch the White-haired General (the nickname given by the people of Northeast China to Horvat, Wu Junsheng didn't know that he had left Qiqihar), rewarded 10,000 yuan, and promoted to three levels! Kill!"

...

Semenov sat in his temporary command center. His face was gray and beads of sweat kept rolling down his face. He had now completely collapsed and sat there silently. He already knew that he had lost everything. If only the Nenjiang line was broken, he might shrink his troops and retreat around Fularki Railway Station to persist. Although it was impossible to defeat the Chinese, he could still seek a "political solution".

His Japanese adviser Sadao Araki once told him before leaving Qiqihar: "The Great Japanese Empire really hopes that you can become the founder of a new country centered on Akata..."

This seems to be a good way out, but being the founder of a new country is always inseparable from strength! Now that his 60,000 Russian troops have been completely defeated, not only the battle on the Nenjiang front line has become a complete disaster. Even the rear of his own was raided by the Chinese cavalry group! God, tens of thousands of cavalry attacked by cavalry. Are these Chinese people thinking that this is still the Napoleon era? How can they fight like this? It is too backward. But they were defeated by this backward tactic! The artillery is gone, and the defeated soldiers who finally gathered on the periphery of Fularki were dispersed again. Although Fularki's stronghold has not been lost yet, it is useless.

Because they could no longer return to that temporary nest, while sending cavalry to copy their backs, the Chinese also launched a large-scale infantry attack on the front! They invested at least 30,000 to 50,000 fully armed infantry and launched round after round of fierce attacks like a tide. Thousands of their own Cossacks could not resist it at all! They had to fight and leave, and finally surrounded this unknown small village and waited for the last moment to arrive.

Just when the atmosphere was in a low and panic, a Semenov's confidant staff officer suddenly rushed in with some complicated expressions on his face. After running in, the guy did not speak, but turned his eyes to the other staff officers sitting in the headquarters. Semenov's mind was still very fast, and he immediately knew the other party's intentions. He waved to the staff officers and sent them away. The only two of them were left in the headquarters.

The staff officer came to Semenov and whispered: "Commander, the military envoy sent by the Central Team to persuade the surrender is our former military adviser, Colonel Araki Sadao."

Xiemeinov was stunned for a moment, looked at the staff officer hesitantly, and asked in an inaudible voice: "Have you seen him? What does the Japanese mean..."

The staff officer also replied in an equally low voice: "General, Huyi has met Colonel Araki. He wants us to preserve our vitality. He guarantees that China's Commander-in-Chief Jiang JShi will let us return home soon, and the Japanese side will immediately re-arm us!"

This meaning is very clear. The Japanese asked Xie Miaonov to surrender to Jiang JShi! No, to be precise, surrender to Japan. It has completely become their Japanese puppet! Even fools can guess that while Japan re-arms its army, it will definitely reorganize according to Japan's needs! Who knows what this army will be reorganized by the Japanese? But do they still have any choice now? Thinking of this, Xie Miaonov just nodded silently.

...

Heilongjiang, east bank of Nenjiang. On the afternoon of December 26.

The gunshots were still ringing sparsely, as if they were not cut off. However, the real war had ended, and now there were only a few sporadic Russian troops still resisting desperately! Before today, no one in the world would have expected that this war between China and Russia, with 250,000 or 60,000 people participating. The victory or defeat would be decided in just less than 24 hours, right? And it ended with the great victory of the Chinese Army, which has always shown its appearance as a weak country!

The Chinese team, now all had unconcealed smiles. There was also a confident expression that was rarely seen in the past! They had just defeated the world's first-class army - the Russian Army! Although the Russian army under Semenov had a little bit of water-filled meat, they always inherited some bloodlines of "steam rollers" after all, right? The mainstream of their officer group is the Russian aristocratic officer group that fought the European war... They were actually easily defeated by the Chinese, which is really unbelievable!

However, the Russian prisoners of the brigade had been escorted from the west bank of Nenjiang River. At least half of them were real Russians, and the rest were tall and large Mongolians. Most of the Chinese infantry escorted them were short, black and thin, but their morale was extremely high.

On the east bank of Nenjiang, an unknown small train station along the Middle East Railway is now the temporary headquarters of the winning China Team. In the open space outside the headquarters, two military advisers wearing yellow Japanese uniforms, Muto Nobuyo and Araki Sadao were sitting on a pile of empty ammunition boxes, listening to their subordinates reporting the casualties of the China Team.

"Your Excellency, the latest statistics show that the First Army of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army was killed 3,021 people and 1,896 people were injured. 116 people were missing. 1,064 people were killed, 556 people were injured and 58 people were missing. 335 people were killed, 213 people were injured and 15 people were missing... The above casualties of each army did not include the temporary cavalry drawn, and the casualties of the cavalry cluster have not been fully counted. It is estimated that around 2,000, the total losses of ** people in this battle were about 9,500."

Muto Nobuyi nodded expressionlessly. This casualty number already included the losses of small-scale contact wars some time ago. The Chinese eliminated at least 40,000 Russian troops at less than 10,000 people. Such victory can only be described as a miracle! And it was greatly beyond his expectations, the chief adviser of the Japanese military advisory group.

Sadao Araki frowned: "Mutou, do you think the Chinese have become stronger or the Russians have become weaker?"

Muto Nobuyi looked at him meaningfully: "There are some, right? There should be some luck. In Chinese terms, Jiang JShi can be considered a blessing. However, the main reason why he can achieve such a brilliant victory is probably because his opponent is too weak... Araki Jun, you have been a consultant to Semenov. Do you think his army is very weak?"

Sadao Araki shook his head: "I'm afraid there are factors that make the Chinese people stronger! The Chinese National Government expanded its troops by 1.2 million to 1.3 million in just a few months. Such mobilization capabilities are probably the biggest gap between them and the Beiyang government. If it were Beiyang, they would not be able to invest nearly 200,000 troops in the Nenjiang battlefield, right?"

Muto Nobuyi nodded in agreement: "And the generals of the National Government are also different from those of the Beiyang in their attitude towards the army. They are willing to fight against the generals of the Beiyang and are not afraid of fighting for nothing. This time the leader is the direct-level troops of the National Government."

Araki smiled: "That's not my own strength, of course I don't feel sorry!"

"This is a modern national army in the true sense! Of course, their power is not comparable to that of the warlords like Beiyang." Muto said lightly: "The backing of the national army is the entire country and nation, and behind the warlords is the individual strength of the warlords... No matter how strong an individual is, it cannot be compared with one country and one nation. In the Japanese-Qing War, the imperial army was a national army, and behind it was the entire Japanese Empire! The Huai Army and the Beiyang Fleet of the Qing Dynasty were just Li Hongzhang's personal army. It is natural for us to defeat Li Hongzhang with the power of one country.

The just-concluded Nenjiang Battle was a war between Semenov and Horvat, who were in the same country as China, and it was no surprise that they lost so ugly."

Speaking of this, Muto Nobuyi stood up, frowned and walked a few steps, suddenly stood still, turned around and looked at Araki: "Mr. Araki, don't you think that Jiang JShi, the empire's supported, is another Li Hongzhang and another Xie Miaonov? Can he use his own strength to fight against the entire China?"

Hearing this, Sadao Araki's face turned pale. Muto Nobuyoshi sighed softly, looked at Sadao Araki and said, "Araki, the mainland policy of the empire may need to be changed!"

Sadao Araki was stunned for a moment and asked back: "Do you want to give up your natural power over Mengman? This is absolutely unacceptable to the entire army!"

Muto glanced at Araki, snorted coldly, and said, "Of course it's not to give up, but to use a more clever way to make China and Russia consume each other! The empire wants to be a fisherman..." (To be continued...)
