"Fire!" After the Cossack cavalry charged within less than one kilometer from the Third Cavalry of the Chinese Army, Major General Bahar issued an order to open fire. For a moment, all heavy machine guns, light machine guns and mortars deployed in front of the position opened fire one after another, forming a dense metal storm, sweeping towards the Cossack cavalry that charged at high speed.
"Da da da da!" The sounds of heavy machine guns and light machine guns mixed together, and the crossfire formed blocked the Cossack cavalry's road to advance. Even though the Cossack cavalry deliberately dispersed in order to reduce casualties, under the attack of dense fire, these Cossack cavalry still fell on the charge road. Pieces of bullets swept across, and these Cossack cavalry fell to the ground like cutting wheat. Either the Cossack cavalry were killed, or the war horses under their crotch were killed, leaving almost no living mouth.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" One by one, a series of shells fell from the sky and landed in the queue of the Cossack cavalry advancing at high speed. The air waves generated by the explosion overturned the Cossack cavalry advancing, and the shrapnel shots were easily harvested. Under the attack of such powerful firepower, the attacking Ninth Cossack Legion suffered heavy losses.
"Damn it, this is not a battle at all, this is a murder!" Major General Anatoli said with a pale face holding the whip in his hand tightly. He looked at the Cossack cavalry and rushed into the intertwined firepower net of the Central ** team without fear of death. He was beaten into a sieve, as if a moth was flying into a fire. Although he was used to life and death, he still felt very uncomfortable under this situation.
"General. The Chinese are too strong in firepower. Our cavalry has no chance of breaking through their firepower network!" The commander of the 11th Cossack Cavalry Division said with horror. His division was responsible for the frontal main attack and was seriously injured. Just a few minutes into the battle, his troops were completely suppressed, and he could only watch his troops be shot and killed by the powerful firepower of the Chinese team.
"The battle on the flanks is about to begin. The Chinese have concentrated so much firepower on the front. Their flank defense must be very weak. We still have a chance!" Major General Anatoli said. Now he can only pin his hopes on the two divisions that are detouring on the flanks.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Dada!" As soon as Anatoli finished speaking, fierce guns and cannons sounded on both wings of the Chinese team. Although the firepower was much weaker than the front, the guns and cannons sounded very strong. Anatoli's face suddenly turned pale. He couldn't understand why the Chinese army could equip so many machine guns and cannons. Is it money for these? Compared with the Chinese team, he originally thought that the equipment was considered an excellent Cossack cavalry, which was even worse than beggars.
The equipment of the Russian team has always been the worst. In the historical battle, Russian soldiers often shared a rifle with two people. One soldier fought with a rifle, and the other followed him. When the soldier was killed, the soldiers behind picked up the rifle and continued to fight. Although Russia has a large population and sufficient soldiers, the gap in industry has greatly restrained their combat power. As the elite of the Russian army, the Cossack cavalry can only satisfy the ability to handle a rifle and a saber. As for heavy machine guns and artillery, such heavy things are not conducive to rapid maneuvering, and they rarely equipped them. Now, the consequences of the Cossack cavalry will face the Third Cavalry Army of the Chinese Army, which has been armed to the teeth, is very clear.
The fierce battle continued, but this was not a battle at all, but a massacre. The ferocious Cossack cavalrymen rode their horses and wanted to break through the defense line of the Zhongzhang team, but the ones that greeted them were indeed dense bullets. These Cossack cavalry often could not rush to the near-front of the Zhongzhang team and were shot and killed by dense bullets.
"General, it's not possible to continue like this. We must retreat. The Chinese people's firepower is too strong, and we are not their opponents. If we continue to fight, it will only cause the entire Ninth Cossack Legion to be completely lost!" said the commander of the 12th Cossack Cavalry Division.
"General, the Chanktu is over, we can't save them! Let's retreat!" The other officers also persuaded. If possible, of course they are willing to rescue the Russian army in Chanktu, but if they want to pay their own lives, no one is willing to do so. The powerful firepower of the Chinese team shocked them, which is not something they can deal with. Therefore, they rationally chose to retreat. To put it nicely, this is called preserving their strength, and to put it badly, this is escaping in a panic.
"Order the troops to retreat immediately and get out of contact with the Chinese!" General Anatoly took a deep breath and said. He looked in the direction of Chaktu and said softly: "God bless you!" Then, he immediately turned his horse's head and galloped northward. The Cossack cavalrymen who were attacking the positions of the Third Cavalry Army also retreated like a tide.
"Captain, the Russians retreat, let's pursue!" Brigadier General An Hongyuan, the chief of the 9th Brigade, said excitedly.
"Every divisions pursue immediately! Try to kill the living power of the Russians!" Major General Bahar ordered.
"Kill! Bounce!" The forces of the four brigades of the Third Cavalry Army rushed towards the fleeing Russian Cossacks, and the crisp carriages were shooting like fried beans. Although it was difficult to shoot during the marching as war horses told them, most of the soldiers of the Third Cavalry Army were Mongolians, and they all mastered good riding skills. These problems could not defeat them at all. The Russian army was unable to resist and had to desperately use a horse whip to slap the butt of the war horses so that they could escape quickly. On the grassland, dead bodies were left all over the ground.
During the previous attack, the Russian Ninth Cossack Army left at least seven or eight thousand corpses, scattered in chaos on the grassland. After receiving the order to retreat, the surviving Cossack cavalry also ran away and had no intention of paying attention to anything else. They were already scared. Some Cossack cavalry who had not yet died were still moaning in pain. Some war horses that had lost their masters neighed, and the entire battlefield was like the Shura hell.
"Send a message to Commander Chen Anguo and tell them that we have defeated the Russian Ninth Cossack Army and are pursuing now!" Major General Bahar ordered with a smile. In this battle, although the Third Cavalry Army occupied the advantage of firepower and military strength, it was able to defeat the fierce Cossack cavalry, which showed that their Mongolian cavalry was more powerful than the Cossack cavalry.
"Yes, commander!" The communication officer quickly sent a telegram to the Third Army Command of the Trade City.
When the Third Army received the telegram, the entire command center was filled with joy. The battle had been in progress for less than an hour, and they were already victorious, which greatly encouraged them.
"Call back to the Bahar Commander and ask them to pay attention to safety and not chase them too far. Give them the opportunity to take advantage of the Russians!" Major General Liu Dingyi, chief of staff of the Third Army, said cautiously. Caktu is 180 kilometers away from Ulanwude. If the Third Army chases Ulanwude directly, it will be troublesome.
"Chief of Staff, don't worry, the commander of the Bahar must be responsible!" Lieutenant General Chen Anguo said.
Major General Liu Dingyi nodded, he just wanted to remind him.
"Chief of Staff, let that boy Yu Hai go for another trip! Tell the Russians in Chaktu that their reinforcements have been defeated. If they do not surrender, I will erase Chaktu from the map tomorrow!" Chen Anguo said confidently.
Major Yu Hai, who received the order, once again went to the Russian command in Chikto to persuade Major General Turgenev and others to surrender.
"General Turgenev, let me tell you a bad news. Your army's Ninth Cossack Army had just been defeated by our Third Cavalry Army, losing tens of thousands of people. Now the whole thing is being retreated wildly, and our army is pursuing us. Your army has no reinforcements!" Major Yu Hai said.
"How is it possible? In such a short time, the Ninth Cossacks failed?" The Russian generals in the command center looked at each other.
"Dear generals, if you don't believe it, you can send a small number of soldiers to the battlefield to investigate!" Major Yu Hai said.
"Turgenev, I'll go and see it myself!" said Major General Mihayer.
Major General Turgenev nodded. Major General Mihayer rode away with several guards. Major Yu Hai stayed at the Russian army's command center.
In less than half an hour, Major General Mihayer returned. However, his face turned pale. When he arrived at the battlefield, the Zhongzhao team had already started to clean the battlefield, but the layers of corpses made him understand that what Yu Hai said was true.
The generals of the Russian command immediately felt nervous when they saw Major General Mihayer's face. Obviously, they now understood that what Yu Hai said was true. More than 20,000 Cossack cavalry were defeated in less than an hour, which made them feel deeply frightened, and the eyes of looking at Yu Hai added a lot of fear.
"Turgenev, the Ninth Cossacks were really defeated, and the bodies were piled up like a hill! We will not have any reinforcements anymore!" Major General Mihayer said in despair.
"Major General Turgenev, for the sake of the lives of tens of thousands of Russian soldiers, I think you should be able to make the right choice!" said Major Yu Hai.
Major General Turgenev hesitated for a moment, a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes, and then said, "On behalf of the Chaktu defenders, I surrender to the Central ** team!"
