On October 23, 1919, the same day when the main force of the Japanese Xianbei Liberian Front arrived in Manzhouli and launched its defensive posture. In a heavy snow, a baggage unit of the Chinese National Defense Force composed of hundreds of horse-drawn carts left Yakesh under the escort of about 3,000 cavalry wearing military uniforms of Northeastern China and about a regiment of defense infantrymen, ventured into the edge of the Hulunbuir grassland, and slowly drove in the direction of Hailar along the seriously damaged railway line.

At first glance, this army seemed to be an ordinary force for transporting supplies. Although they were relatively tightly guarded, they did not find it strange at all because of the Su Meng cavalry troops active on the Hulunbuir grassland. As for what the supplies were transported by this baggage force, they had long been reconnaissed by Soviet agents ambushed in Hailar and Yakesh... The medical supplies of the large field hospital in Hailar were almost used up, so they could only risk transporting them from Yakesh. In addition, there were more than 10,000 mines, ready to be buried on both sides of the road from Hailar to Yakesh.

After receiving information from the spy on a hidden radio station, Zhukov, who was commanding Su Meng cavalry to move on the grasslands around Hailar, discussed with Sukh Battal and decided to severely attack the transport force of the Chinese invaders.

"Comrade Zhukov, the three thousand Northeast cavalry should be the men of Tang Yulin or Wu Junsheng, the leader of the Chinese invading army. Their combat power is very weak and they are not our opponents at all! As for the Chinese infantry in that regiment, perhaps they are a little stubborn, but on the grassland, my Mongolian cavalry can still kill them all, but they just shed more blood."

Zhukov glanced at Sukh Battal with a charming smile and snorted: "There are only more than 70 kilometers between Yakesh and Hailar. If we start the process in the middle, the reinforcements of the Chinese devils will not be able to arrive in half a day... This Chinese baggage force will definitely stand on the spot and wait for assistance. Are you confident that you will solve nearly 4,000 Chinese devils within half a day?" He looked at Sukh Battal with extremely contemptuous eyes, as if saying that you Mongols are all cowards. You can't deal with five thousand Chinese "invading troops".

Sukh Battor showed no disgust towards Zhukov's attitude, and still smiled charmingly: "Of course we can't do it alone, but there is Comrade Zhukov's cavalry brigade. Not to mention five thousand Chinese devils, even fifty thousand Chinese devils are not a problem!"

Zhukov smiled unanimously. If there were 50,000 Hua troops, his cavalry brigade could not handle it. However, 5,000 people were not a problem. The cavalry brigade under his command now is the 2nd Cavalry Brigade under the elite Fourth Cavalry Division. There are 2,000 people in the brigade, of which about 1,200 cavalry, most of which are Donhe Cossacks, and they are the best cavalry. In addition, the Fourth Cavalry Division also allocated two cavalry artillery companies, with a total of eight 87mm cavalry artillery guns. If the five thousand Hua troops wanted to set up a circular defensive array on the grassland, these eight cannons would make them unable to find the north!

Thinking of this, Zhukov no longer hesitated and decisively issued an order to the staff beside him: "The 2nd Cavalry Brigade of the Red Army and the 1st Cavalry Division of the People's Revolutionary Army assembled. Set out in two hours. The target is Hak Town east of Hailarsi." He turned his head and said to Battor: "Comrade Battor, you can command the 2nd Cavalry Division of the People's Revolutionary Army to attack near Yakesh, but don't fight fiercely with the Chinese army, just harass it. If their large group of troops attack, you must send someone to notify me in time."

Suh Battor nodded: "I understand, Comrade Zhukov. Hailar should send someone to harass him?"

Zhukov shook his head: "No need, just let someone monitor them. The Chinese troops in Hailar City are only more than 10,000, guarding a large amount of supplies and a large field hospital, and they dare not attack easily. They will probably watch me eat the five thousand Chinese troops!"

If those five thousand people were really officers and soldiers of the Chinese National Defense Forces, Zhukov's Red Cavalry Brigade would definitely beat them up. It's a pity that this historical Soviet war god made Bai Chongxi play a trick. His Red Cavalry Brigade was going to face the Japanese cavalry group commanded by Lieutenant General Tian China.

The cavalry group is a cavalry unit equivalent to the division level. The entire group consists of two cavalry brigades (the First Cavalry Brigade and the Fourth Cavalry Brigade), a cavalry artillery corps, a baggage corps, and a cavalry infantry brigade. There are a total of 20 cavalry squadrons, four cavalry machine gun squadrons, and six cavalry artillery squadrons equipped with six Meiji 38-year-old modified 75mm mountain cannons. They are the essence of the entire Japanese cavalry unit!

Due to the limitations of the island terrain, Japan is not a country with a tradition of cavalry. However, since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese Army still attached great importance to cavalry construction due to the need for invasion and expansion. Their idea of ​​building cavalry was to take French cavalry as their division and take the elite route. Although the number was extremely limited, the equipment and training were world-class. Even the war horses they used were Angron Norman horses introduced from France, and each horse had its own identity proof! Compared with the Don hippos used by Zhukov's Cossack Cavalry, the cavalry rifles, swords, harnesses and cavalry **** they used were carefully designed and produced. In addition, the training of Japanese cavalry is definitely the strictest in the world, and the training period for new recruits was also a year long.

Like Zhukov, the Japanese cavalry Lieutenant General Tian Chi-chung, who commanded this cavalry unit, also attacked with confidence. In his opinion, the so-called "Cossack Cavalry" is not the opponent of the Japanese cavalry at all. The Cossack Cavalry, which had several times the number advantage in the Russo-Japanese War, was still a defeated general under the Japanese cavalry! Could it be that the Cossacks who believed in Marxism have become some great elite?

However, Bai Chongxi, who was responsible for commanding the overall situation, dared not take the famous Red Cavalry Army lightly. Although he knew that his opponent was just a cavalry brigade around Hailar, he still sent a detachment of more than 5,000 Northeastern cavalry commanded by Wu Junsheng and Tang Yulin. He followed about 20 kilometers northeast of the rear of the Japanese Cavalry Group, which was to escort the Japanese cavalry in front of him?

The reconnaissance cavalry of the Japanese Cavalry Group had already been sent out, dispatched three cavalry squadrons, and launched a wide-front search screen. In the increasingly heavy wind and snow, the main force was covering the advance towards Hailar. Everyone widened their eyes and raised their ears, trying to find the traces of the Soviet Russian cavalry from the wind and snow and the howling north wind.

Tian China was riding heavily on the horse. A dark face filled with solemn and worried expressions. He was not worried at all about the Soviet Cossack cavalry he might encounter, but he was extremely worried about the current overall situation. More than 200,000 elite soldiers of the imperial army are now under the siege of the Red Army! The only one who could rescue them was the 300,000 to 400,000 teams! This was probably the most ridiculous and unreliable thing he had heard of in more than 20 years of joining the army!

At this moment, the crisp sound of the 38-type rifle unique to the left side of the marching team suddenly sounded. Then it sounded a piece. Then the counterattack of the Russian Mosinnagan rifle came, and in a blink of an eye, it was beaten into a ball and could not be distinguished. Tian China grabbed the reins with a heavy hand, straightened his back, looked at the place where the gunshot came with a fierce look, and cursed: "Eight squares! Cossack is finally here!"

The chief of staff beside him suggested loudly: "Lieutenant General, you must have encountered a brigade of enemy troops after hearing the gunshots! It is very likely that it is the Cossack Cavalry Brigade, please launch the cavalry artillery position and prepare for the decisive battle!" Tian China nodded in a key focus and said loudly: "Caval artillery corps, horse-riding infantry brigade, and baggage corps to launch a defensive position. All cavalry are ready to launch an assault!"

The reconnaissance cavalry sent by the Japanese Cavalry Group was actually the search force of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army cavalry... While these Mongolians were given the freedom, they could not escape the fate of becoming cannon fodder! About a regiment (cavalry regiment, which is five or six hundred people) of Mongolian cavalry were scattered by Zhukov, focusing on searching along the Central and Eastern Railway. As a result, they were caught off guard by the Japanese cavalry in the snow and snow.

The tactics of these Mongolian cavalry are really old-fashioned. In this era when machine guns and cannons have begun to dominate the battlefield, they are still playing the trick of riding and shooting, and their shooting skills are extremely bad, and they have no threat to the Japanese cavalry who are lying on the ground after dismounting. The first contact between the two sides was very short. So short that the Mongolians did not understand who their opponent was, and they ended in their defeat.

A few Mongolians who ran back crying and crying were soon taken to Zhukov. Jili Guru said a lot, which made the red army god in history stunned for a while. Zhukov's first thought was that they should have met a Chinese cavalry with relatively strong combat power? Otherwise, a regiment of Mongolian cavalry should have been able to support it for a while, right? The second thought was that he was a little hesitant. The Red Army cavalry he now had was only about 2,000 people in a brigade. If he really met something

How capable are opponents, such as the Chinese team as strong as the Eastern Legion, may suffer a loss! But in the blink of an eye, he denied this idea. When he was in Mongolia, he had studied the situation of the Chinese National Defense Forces. This is an army with a fairly average overall strength, without any particularly elite troops, their training and equipment level are far inferior to the Red Army, and they have not experienced the truly cruel test of war. How could it be the opponent of the Red Cossacks who have been through many battles under his command?

He made up his mind and immediately summoned the commanders of two cavalry regiments to discuss and formulate an offensive plan. The First Cavalry Division of the Mongolian People's Army was sent out to detour to the enemy side, so as not to escape if the Chinese invaders were not good... In the war to liberate Mongolia, Zhukov had already learned about the ability of the Chinese invaders to escape, and this time he did not want to let these evil invaders go away.

Zhukov's deployment was similar to that of China, and he also ordered the cavalry, artillery, cavalry and infantry and baggage soldiers to set foot on their feet. Then he personally commanded all the Cossack cavalry to pounce in the direction of the search troops on both sides.

Perhaps the most elite cavalry unit in the world was encountered together in the snow and snow. In this era, the mainstream combat method of Japanese cavalry was no longer riding and charging, but letting the horse lie down as a cover and then shooting with the 38-style cavalry rifle. After the Japanese vanguard discovered the opponent, they immediately dismounted and fought according to their usual practice.

However, the main combat method of the Cossack cavalry under Zhukov was the most commonly used cavalry for the prairie cavalry. More than 250 cavalrymen in the two cavalry companies in the front of the marching team drew out their sabers without hesitation. Under the cover of several cavalry machine guns, they shouted Ula's slogan and launched the first wave of cavalry shocks. Since the visibility today was not high, the Japanese cavalry dismounted, pressed down the war horses, and then set up rifles to shoot. The red Cossack cavalry almost rushed in front of them!

Some of these Cossacks came from the European battlefield, and the others were baptized by the cruel Russian civil war. They were all experienced veterans. The Japanese cavalry also fought with the Red Army guerrillas in Xianbei and Far East, and would not be scared by the sabers. Because these Japanese cavalry were all equipped with melee weapons that were more powerful than sabers - revolver ****! No matter how good the Cossack's big sword was, they were not as sharp as ****, right? So the Japanese cavalry lying on the ground threw their Bushido spirit aside. They took out the revolver and shot them ping-pong, and immediately killed and injured the charge Cossack cavalry! But then more Cossack cavalry rushed up with sabers, which immediately overwhelmed the Japanese vanguard in number. They also put the Japanese cavalry into a tough battle!

The reason for this situation was that Zhukov's combat experience and military talent were far better than Tanaka. As soon as he heard the gunshot, he ordered all the attacks! The assault of more than a thousand red Cossack cavalry was like a scattered sea of ​​people, and it was not the resistance of two Japanese cavalry squadrons lying on the ground. Tian China-Jung, a Japanese militarist, had a very perverted reaction after discovering that he had lost the initiative. He actually ordered the 24 75mm cannons of the Cavalry Artillery Regiment to open fire and bombard the battlefield in front!

The sudden shelling surprised Zhukov, who was leading the cavalry charge, as he was leading the cavalry charge! According to the intelligence, the cavalry of the Northeastern Army of China was not equipped with cannons at all! And even if they were equipped with cannons, they could not be so accurate! However, before he could understand what happened, the Japanese riding charge also began. Although the mainstream tactic of the Japanese cavalry was to dismount, it did not mean that they relaxed the training of riding shock. The Yamato nation is a nation that likes to be serious.

The battle began to become extremely unfavorable to the Red Cossacks. Zhukov's cavalry suffered a lot of losses in the bombardment just now, and the troops were also a little confused. Many cavalry dismounted and lay down in the snow to avoid shells. Their horses were either frightened or injured. The original cavalry turned into a mixed infantry and cavalry force.

At this time, Zhukov had already found that he was trapped. His opponent was not a weak Northeast cavalry, but a Japanese cavalry disguised as the Northeast army! Their artillery and cavalry combat level could not even be defeated by the First Cavalry Army where they were!

Zhukov, who found that the situation was wrong, did not choose to fight in love, but immediately issued an order to withdraw from the battle. All the Red Army cavalry who lost their war horses were left to break the rear, and the remaining people turned their horses to flee. The cavalry always fought if they could win, and they could not win if they could. The winning or losing of a battle was not a problem at all.

The pursuit of the Japanese cavalry also began at the same time. Tian China-chung left a cavalry corps to deal with the Cossacks who were still fighting desperately on the battlefield. He personally led the remaining 1,700 cavalry to tie the butts of the Red Army cavalry in the wind and snow, and launched a pursuit.

But not long after, Zhukov suddenly realized that his troops were on the verge of being destroyed, and the war horses they rode could not escape the war horses of the Japanese cavalry! It was not that their Dun Hippo was too poor, but that they had been constantly fighting and marching for several months, and at the same time, they did not have good feed to feed them, which made these tall Dun Hippos a little skinny, and their physical strength and endurance greatly reduced.

After discovering that his army had no way to escape, Zhukov gritted his teeth and pulled the reins hard, making the war horse under his seat stand upright, and at the same time, waving the saber in his hand and shouted: "Budoni's cavalry! Stop retreating and rush with me! Bounce!"

Then he turned his horse and led his red Cossacks, and launched a counterattack against the pursuit of Japanese cavalry. The fierce hand-to-hand combat was launched again. The horses of both sides collided with each other, and the sabers intertwined, and blood was thrown. From the horses to the horses, they used their greatest strength to fight. Although the number of Cossacks was far less than that of the Japanese army, they were still fighting to the death under the leadership of their commander Zhukov, because they all knew that they had no way out!

Just as the battle was in a state of intercourse, the sound of thunderous horse hooves gradually came from the northeast of the battlefield! Reinforcements joined! I just don’t know who it was? Tian China-chung and Zhukov turned their eyes to the northeast at the same time, and their eyes were full of expectations. At this time, both the Mongol cavalry and the cavalry of the Northeast China Army could determine the outcome of this battle!

"Chinese! They are Chinese!" I don't know who shouted in Japanese, and the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield actually cheered!

The red Cossacks who were still fighting to the death just now seemed to lose all their courage. Some dropped their weapons and surrendered, some fled to the wind and snow, and some simply lay on the ground, gasping and leaving them to fate. Zhukov fought against the enemy while waving his knife, shouting the slogan "Long live gcd, long live Lenin" until he was knocked out by a Japanese war horse that rushed forward.

Zhukov, a red war god in history, actually became a prisoner of war for Japanese imperialism...
