"Bastard! Why didn't those bastards blow up the bridge? Haven't I ordered them to be severely. If I can't hold it, blow up the bridge?" Grand Duke Nicholas said angrily. If the 2nd Cossack Legion and the 5th Cossack Legion,
At most, the Selenge River channel was cut off, which interrupted the logistics supply line of the Ulan-Ude Russian army. In this way, the Russian army could still support it and the strike was not fatal. The Russian army had already reserved a lot of strategic materials in Ulan-Ude
It is enough for the Russian army to support three months or even longer. Compared with the Russian army's continuous casualties, the materials consumed became less and less. The materials that could only last for three months were finally
It can last for half a year or even longer.
"His grandpa, what should we do now? If the retreat is cut off, Ulan-Ude will have no way out!" the adjutant reminded.
"Let the 9th Cossack Army find a way to blow up the bridge!" said Grand Duke Nicholas. Now, the battle of Ulan-Ude has reached the most critical moment, and it is impossible to draw out any extra troops. It can be used.
The only troops is the 9th Cossack Legion, which was despised before.
"His Excellency, the 9th Cossack Legion has suffered heavy losses in the battle of Chikto. Now the entire legion is less than 10,000. It is probably not easy to let them seize the bridge that the Chinese are defending heavily!"
The adjutant said. In addition, the previous attitude of Grand Duke Nicholas to the 9th Cossack Legion probably made the people of the 9th Cossack Legion dissatisfied. Now let them fight to the death, how is this possible!
"Send a telegram to Major General Anatoly, if he can successfully blow up the bridge, the past will be cancelled. In addition, I will ask His Majesty the Tsar for his merits and promote him to Lieutenant General. Wait for the end of the war
After that, it is not a problem to be promoted to general!" said Grand Duke Nicholas. If the crisis in Ulan-Ude can be resolved, even if he is now appointed as an official and makes a wish, what does it matter?
"Okay! Your Excellency Grand Duke!" The adjutant nodded. There was no way out.
"In addition, the 2nd Cossack Legion and the 5th Cossack Legion are wiped out. Try to block the news and not be known by the front-line troops. Otherwise, this will inevitably have a great impact on the morale of the army. At that time, we
It would be even more impossible to defend Ulan Ude!" Grand Duke Nicholas reminded. Originally, Ulan Ude's defense had already been very hard. If the soldiers knew that the retreat had been cut off
If that's the case, it's probably even worse.
"Yes, Lord Grand Duke!" the adjutant said with the order.
Soon, Grand Duke Nicholas's telegram was sent to Major General Anatoli, the commander of the 9th Cossack Army of the Russian Army. After receiving the telegram, Major General Anatoli was also shocked. Although he expected the
2 The Cossack Legion and the 5th Cossack Legion are not opponents of the Chinese cavalry, but in just half a day, more than 40,000 people of the two legions were wiped out. Now, Grand Duke Nicholas actually made his broken 9th Cossack
How is this possible when the Legion blows up the Chinese bridge with strict defense? It's just that he's going to die!
Major General Anatoly soon summoned three division commanders of the 9th Cossack Legion and informed them of the news. The three division commanders immediately screamed in dissatisfaction.
"How can Lord Nicholas do this? We have suffered heavy losses, but he does not replenish us. Now he lets us attack the Chinese. We have less than 10,000 troops now. To go with the Chinese, that's not asking for death
Is it?"
"That's it! The 2nd Cossack Legion and the 5th Cossack Legion, those guys are so arrogant that they are wiped out by others in less than half a day. If we go, there will be only a dead end. Commander, you can't let it go.
Let's go and die!"
"What do you want me to do? Grand Duke Nicholas has given orders. Can I disobey?" Major General Anatoli said helplessly. If he disobeys, Grand Duke Nicholas will definitely send him directly to the military court.
Even shot directly.
"Commander, how do you think the current situation of Ulan-Ude will develop?" asked a division commander.
"Is this more important? The Chinese are already cutting off the back of Ulan Ude. The entire Ulan Ude defender is about to be surrounded. Now hundreds of thousands of Chinese people are surrounding Ulan Ude,
We can't hold on for long. I can guarantee that in a maximum of one week, Ulan Ude will fall!" Major General Anatoli said.
"Isn't this over? Since Ulan-Ude will definitely fall, we don't need to stay here and wait for death. We will go north immediately, bypass the Upper Baikal region, and return to Irkutsk!" The division commander suggested.
.
"What? Isn't this running away without authorization? If you pursue it, you will be beheaded!" Major General Anatoly widened his eyes.
"General, how could we run away without permission? The Chinese sent a large number of troops to attack us. We were defeated and we had to retreat north!" the division commander said with a smile. Everyone understood the meaning of his words.
They were attacked by the Chinese team and fled and left the battlefield. In this way, their safety will be guaranteed.
"What about your opinions?" asked Major General Anatoli. He did not dare to do such a blatant disobeying military orders alone. If he wanted to do it, everyone would do it together.
"Commander, we agree. Instead of staying here and waiting for death, it is better to retreat immediately!" The other two division commanders agreed.
"Okay, then we will rectify the team immediately and evacuate. I will send a telegram to Grand Duke Nicholas, claiming that we were attacked by the Chinese!" Major General Anatoli said.
Soon, the 9th Cossacks evacuated northward. Before retreating, they sent a telegram to Grand Duke Nicholas, claiming that they had been attacked by the Third Cavalry of the Chinese Army. In the absence of any help, they had to go to the
Retreat north.
After receiving the telegram, Grand Duke Nicholas was even more furious. How could he not know what was going on? It was obvious that Anatoly fled in fear of the enemy! However, he had no evidence. This made Nicholas
Grand Duke Gula was very angry and secretly swore that after this battle, he would not let Anatoly go and the 9th Cossacks.
The Third Cavalry Army annihilated the 2nd Cossack Army and the 5th Cossack Army, achieving a huge victory, which made the Chinese Army very excited and morale soared! The First and Third Army, responsible for the attack on Ulan-Ude
The attack became even more fierce. Although the Russian army in Ulan-Ude was still resisting stubbornly, now that the rear was cut off, everyone believed that the Chinese team would be able to win the final victory in no time.
After cutting off the retreat of the Russian army in Ulan-Ude, there is no need to worry about the Russian army escaping. If you eat the 200,000 Russian troops in one bite, it will inevitably hurt the Russian army again. Even if the Russian army's
If there are enough troops, you can't lose like this! If the Russian army loses 200,000 each time, several such wars can be experienced!
Wang Yuze, who was far away in Beijing, was very happy after receiving the battle report sent back from the northern battlefield. The Russian army in Ulan-Ude was later raided, and the Russian army had become a turtle in the jar. The Chinese team will
He won another big victory. Wang Yuze specially sent a telegram to the front line, and rewarded the hard-working soldiers on the front line.
The most tragic battle in Ulanwude is still the street fighting in Ulanwude city. Although, before launching an attack, the artillery of the Chinese team will launch a large-scale artillery bombardment on Ulanwude, the entire system will be completed.
Ulan Ude has become a ruin under the violent shelling, but the lives of these Russian soldiers were like rats, and they still persisted tenaciously.
In the West, many people are used to digging a basement under the house to store food or other things. The same is true for Ulanwude, almost every household has a basement. Even if the house above collapses, it has passed before
The reserved passage, when the Chinese artillery bombarded Ulan-Ude violently, these Russian troops could drill into the basement like rats. After the shelling was over, they would drill out of the basement and get to the Chinese team.
Fighting, they even penetrated into the rear of the China ** team, attacking the rear baggage troops and even field hospitals. These Russians were cruel and ruthless. Even if the wounded soldiers were discovered by them, they would not hesitate.
Killed. This forced the Chinese team to withdraw all the field hospitals to the back.
After the battle on April 18, with the efforts of the First Army and the Third Army, one-fifth of the main urban area of Ulan Ude was controlled by the China National Team. According to this
Progress, if you fight for another three or five days, you may be able to end the battle. Of course, the casualties that bother the Chinese team have always been a big problem. In addition to the casualties, there are also logistics supplies. Hundreds of thousands of troops
The food consumed every day is astronomical. Coupled with artillery shelling at all costs, the ammunition consumption is very fast. The battle lasted only two days and was stored near Ulanwude.
Most of the ammunition has been consumed. If this continues, it can last for at most two or three days. If the Russian army's fighting will be stronger and the battle will be delayed longer, then there will be a big problem.
.
Various materials, weapons and ammunition transported from China can only be transported to the trading city. Then it has to be transported to the Ulan-Ude front line by cars and mules and horses. Although the logistics department has concentrated hundreds of cars, it is still a bit difficult to do.
