Five hundred and sixtieth chapters turtle in the urn
"Brothers, speed up. We must get ahead of the Russians, rush to Torahem, and cut off the retreat of these Russian devils!"
Zhong Junfeng rode his horse and whipped his whip while shouting loudly. The sound carried far away along with the wind in the grassland, and all his more than 500 cavalrymen could hear it clearly. Everyone beat the animals desperately, and the horse Herod's
Screaming in pain, the speed is getting faster and faster.
This time Zhong Junfeng and the others aimed at Tolachem. The main body of the Tangnu Uliang Sea is a basin sandwiched between the Xisayan Mountains and the Tangnu Ula Mountains. In the basin, the upper reaches of the Yenisey River are large and small.
The Nisei River flows through here, and Torahem is an important crossing on the Yenisei River. It is also the only way for Russia to exit the Tannu Uliang Sea and return to Russia.
After receiving the news that Fengjun had captured Borja, Ma Zhanshan judged that the Russians would shrink their forces and withdraw their troops from Tangnu Ulianghai. They could come and leave whenever they wanted. Could it be that the Chinese territory was being used as a hotel?
Ma Zhanshan had long made up his mind to keep all these Russians. He and Zhong Junfeng carefully studied the possible routes of the Russians, and finally decided on Torahem, which was the nearest and easiest route.
"Commander Zhong, I have to work hard for you now. You must get ahead of the Russians, occupy Torahem, and then confiscate and destroy all the fishing boats around the river bank, so as not to give the Russians a chance to escape."
"Master Ma, now it's a competition of speed. It depends on who can run in front and whoever has the upper hand will have the upper hand. You don't need too many people, five hundred is enough, but you must have enough horses, three for each person and one less."
Not even a horse."
"No problem, I'll be ready right away."
A large number of 500 elite soldiers and 1,500 war horses were all prepared, each with three horses. Two of them were interchangeable, and the other group of pack horses were responsible for carrying arms and dry food. After they were prepared, they used the most powerful horses.
He ran towards Torahem at a fast speed.
They didn't have any rest along the way. They crossed barren mountains and ridges, crossed small rivers and streams, and just kept moving forward, forward, and forward again!
Just after they had run about fifty kilometers, a small group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the other side of the pasture, heading this way.
"It's the Russians!" Zhong Junfeng suddenly became alert: "Quickly, destroy them."
A company of cavalry immediately broke away from the group and began to accelerate towards the Russians. They were like a fan. This patrolling Russian cavalry was sent by Pakrov. The Russians were ready to withdraw to the Far East. Therefore, the road must be guaranteed
To ensure security, Pakrov sent a large number of soldiers to patrol and guard.
Ever since Liu Shaoqing came up with that bad idea last time, Fengjun had sent out all the White Russians and Mongolian bandits. The Mongolian bandits knew the grasslands, and the White Russians were familiar with the Russians. When they worked together, they were a perfect match.
Professional looting groups were established one after another. They committed all kinds of crimes on the Russian border, killing people and selling goods. They massacred villages, raided roads and logistics warehouses. From time to time, sporadic Russian soldiers would hunt and kill, and then cut off the heads of the people, and then go to Fengjun to ask for credit and reward.
.
The activities of these guys have caused a lot of trouble to the Russians. At least a hundred people must be sent to each patrol, otherwise they will be in danger, especially when they are going to withdraw to Russia this time. Pakrov sent
There are more people.
These cavalrymen saw a huge cavalry team from a distance, with hundreds of people. They did not have any flags, and they had three horses per person, which was the habit of the Mongolian bandits. The Russian commander immediately regarded them as
A team of bandits appeared, and he hurriedly called his men to greet them. Although there were many bandits, they were definitely no match for the regular army. The Russian cavalry seemed confident.
Fengjun was overjoyed when he saw that the scout did not run away but came closer. They rushed towards the Russians on horseback. The two sides were getting closer and closer. The Russians were holding carbine tightly in their hands and were about to shoot.
At this time, Feng Jun had already spread out his team, like a fan. The two sides were getting closer and closer. Feng Jun's submachine gun fired first, and dense bullets were like raindrops, hitting the Russian soldiers. Suddenly more than a dozen
The Russians fell under their horses, while the Fengjun side was unscathed.
After encountering the iron plate, the Russians suddenly realized that what they encountered were not bandits, but Fengjun's elite cavalry. Because Fengjun was equipped with submachine guns, they had powerful firepower and extremely fast firing rates. If they were to confront the Chinese head-on,
It's definitely a dead end.
In addition, these scouts also felt that something was wrong. There was a large group of soldiers here, which was obviously not a good sign. Most of them wanted to cut off the Russians' return. These scouts were immediately panicked. They also
Not daring to fight, he hurriedly turned his horse around and rushed back like crazy to report the situation to his superiors.
The Russians tried their best to run away, but Fengjun showed no mercy and kept killing the Russians one after another. The distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and the Fengjun soldiers raised their sharp sabers.
The blade cut through the limbs, blood spurted out, and the limbs flew around. The Russians screamed and were overwhelmed by their horses. The hard hoofs of the horses stepped on their corpses, turning them into a pile of flesh.
After more than ten minutes of fighting between the two sides, sixty or seventy Russian soldiers were eliminated. However, these scouts were also elites in the Russian army. They knew that the matter was serious and they had to bring the information back quickly, so some of the Russian soldiers stayed behind with the soldiers.
The army fought tooth and nail, and the remaining twenty or thirty people rushed out desperately. They found a weak point, and a dozen of them finally fought their way out.
The Fengjun soldiers wanted to catch up, but Zhong Junfeng hurriedly stopped them: "Brothers, the Russians have discovered us. The outcome depends entirely on whether our speed can exceed the Russians. Everyone, please stay alert."
, no matter what, we must run to Torahem before dawn tomorrow!"
Zhong Junfeng's order was extremely serious, and everyone knew that success or failure depended on this. Therefore, without any hesitation, they immediately formed a team and ran northward. The wind blew past their ears and the sky gradually darkened.
In the grassland at night, the cold wind was really strong, and the clear howls of wolves could be heard in the distance. These animals also came out to look for food. But just above the grassland, the two cavalry teams were chasing after them desperately without any rest.
The Russian scout who escaped reported the situation to Pakrov. He immediately felt that something was wrong. The Feng army was preparing to cut off his retreat, so Pakrov sent out one of his most elite battalions to let him go.
They took control of Torahem before the Feng army and prepared a front line for the retreat of the large army.
The Russian cavalry was also dispatched. The tall Don hippopotamus galloped wildly on the grassland. The huge horseshoes lifted up the young grass that had just grown, and the fragrance of earth spread. However, these Russians no longer had the intention to appreciate it.
They had been running away for four or five hours.
It was already midnight and there was no sign of the Chinese yet. These Russian soldiers had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
"Comrades, just now the scouts heard the hoofbeats of another group of cavalry on the ground. They are not more than ten kilometers away from us. Everyone, please work harder, the Chinese can't escape!"
When the Russians heard the news, they all immediately became energetic. They drove their horses desperately and ran for about half an hour. Finally, they saw the shadowy torches in the distance. The Russians were overjoyed. The damn Chinese were finally right in front of them.
Already.
Just when the Russians were overjoyed, a war horse suddenly fell to the ground, red blood foam spurted out from its mouth and nose, twitched twice, and then died. After a war horse fell,
More than a dozen war horses came to the end one after another. The Russian army's team was immediately in chaos.
Just as they were about to catch up, this problem unexpectedly occurred, and the Russians almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. In fact, it is very normal to say that the Russians used Don horses. This kind of war horse is tall and strong, runs at an amazing speed, and has too many
advantages.
But this is Tangnu Ulianghai, the home ground of Mongolian horses. Although Mongolian horses are short in stature and not very fast, Mongolian horses have an unparalleled advantage, that is, they have super endurance and are suitable for long-distance raids. The Mongolians were
They conquered the world with them.
In this speed competition, the Russians kept shortening the distance in the early stages, and saw victory in sight. However, the Don horses also reached their limit, so the horses fell down one after another and all died.
Without their war horses, the Russians were immediately eliminated. Zhong Junfeng commanded the troops and still maintained an astonishing speed. The morning star had already appeared in the sky. It was about to dawn. At this time, a large town appeared in the distance.
, none other than Torahem!
When Zhong Junfeng saw it, he also sang a sigh of relief. His uniform was soaked with sweat, and the horse below was trembling. The same was true for other soldiers. Everyone had reached their limit. If they were further away, they would only
I am afraid that the Mongolian horses with amazing endurance will not be able to survive either.
"The first company searched downstream, the second company searched upstream, and the others followed me into the city. Gather all the fishing boats and fishermen. No one can be left behind!"
The soldiers acted quickly according to the order. Tuolachem is a peaceful town guarding the mouth of the river and pastures. The water and grass are rich and the fish are fat. Almost one-third of the population makes a living by fishing, large and small.
There are more than thirty fishing boats.
Zhong Junfeng was not polite at all and confiscated all these fishing boats. Later, door panels, logs, animal skins, etc., and those that could be used as rafts were not spared and were all collected by Feng Jun.
The people were trembling with fear. They were often robbed by bandits and horse thieves. Recently, the Russians also appeared frequently. Now that Fengjun appeared, they just thought that there was another group of bandits, and they were also a group of unreasonable bandits.
.
They took away the fishing boat, and then unloaded all the door panels and other things, gathered them together at the river, and burned them all with fire. These gnashing teeth, how can they survive, but they all ignored it.
Just after Fengjun took away the things, he left a note for each family. As long as you hold this certificate, you can get one and a half times the compensation after the war.
Zhong Junfeng personally supervised the burning work on the riverside. The first company and the second company also came back. They not only destroyed all the fishing boats, but also demolished a pontoon bridge. Now, along the Yenisei River, within forty or fifty kilometers,
, there is no longer any tool that can cross the river!
"Humph, when the Russians came, the river was still covered in ice and they could easily cross. But in the past twenty days, the river has melted and there is a lot of melted ice and snow on the mountains. If you want to cross the river easily, that's impossible.
Wishful thinking, let’s all die on Chinese soil!”
After Zhong Junfeng took care of all the ships, he hurriedly moved upstream with his men and horses, preparing to choose a suitable position to attack the Russian army.
Just at noon, the main force of the 3rd Far East Cavalry Division finally arrived. Pakrov's face was full of worry. He had received the report that the Russian army had not caught up with the squadron, and his heart was already half cold.
However, he also knew that there was no other way at the moment. The only way to survive was to cross the Yenisei River. His men and horses ran to the river, and the rolling water rushed down. The river was at least three to five meters deep.
, and the waves are rough, so there is no way to cross the river without tools.
"Commander, the Chinese have burned all the ships, destroyed the pontoons, and even the door panels and other things. What should we do?"
Pakrov's head suddenly buzzed and he almost fell off his horse. What could he do? At this moment, several more Russian scouts ran over in a panic and almost cried: "
Division Commander, the pursuers of the Chinese ** team are only ten kilometers away from us, and they will rush over immediately!" (To be continued...)
