Chapter 442 The life of a soldier is not important!
"His Excellency Da Gong, it is difficult for us to take all the 100,000 soldiers of Ulanwude. Even if we want to break through, we have to leave some troops to drag the Chinese in Ulanwude and create time for the troops who break through.
In addition, the Siberian Railway has been cut off, and the entire Lower Baikal region has fallen under the control of the Chinese, and we cannot pass through here. If we walk into Baikal, we will be pursued by the Chinese and will only end up extinction!
Major General Varianjing continued.
Grand Duke Nicholas said nothing, and looked at Major General Varianjing silently. He knew that since the other party also knew these problems, there must be a solution!
"Hisser Grand Duke, after we break through from Ulan-Ude, it is best to reach Oyimur. If not, even if we reach Koma! Before we act, let Irkutsk send you
The fleet came to save us. We evacuate from the water!" Major General Varianjing said. This was his real plan.
"Leaving from the water? This is a good idea! Although the Chinese are powerful, if we get on the boat, they will have no choice but to do anything to us!" Some Russian generals below discussed. I have to admit that this is indeed
A good idea. In this way, they can leave safely.
"But, Major General Variant and Irkutsk only have dozens of cargo ships, and they are all small cargo ships. Even if all the fishing boats are added, they can transport up to 20,000 people at one time. The rest.
What should the people do? The Chinese will never give us a second chance!" Grand Duke Nicholas raised a question. Obviously, Ulan-Ude still has 100,000 Russian troops, even if they leave 20,000 or 30,000 left
If you continue to block the Chinese, the remaining people will not be able to be transported away at once.
"Your Excellency, there is nothing to do about this. The rest of the people can only let them die themselves. Of course, after we get on the ship, they can surrender to the Chinese!" said Major General Varianjing. Most of the people,
They will all become abandoned children. In order for a small number of people to escape, they need to pay their lives. If they are lucky, they will also become prisoners of war in the Chinese team.
"What? You want me to give up most of the people? How is this possible? As their commander, it is impossible for me to do this!" Grand Duke Nicholas said immediately.
"Your Excellency, instead of all of them dead in Ulan Ude, you can save as many people as you can! Besides, these soldiers have lost, and we can quickly recruit more soldiers. Now in Irkutsk, we have already
There are 200,000 people. After we retreat to Irkutsk, we can command these troops to continue fighting against the Chinese. We just need to ensure that most of the legions retreat to Irkutsk!" Alexander
Major General La also spoke. These Russian generals care about their own lives. Those ordinary soldiers are not important at all. Russia has a large population, so it is very simple to want soldiers. From those peasants
Just call in the middle. In Ulan-Ude, 200,000 people were lost, and Russia could easily recruit another 500,000 people to supplement. The most important thing is the generals and officers with noble identities!
"Grand Duke, General Alexandra's words make sense! Those lowly soldiers are not important at all! As long as we can successfully break through, this war can continue, and we will have a chance!" Others
The generals also persuaded them one after another. Originally, they thought they were dead, but they did not expect that there would be such a way. For the sake of their own lives, the lives of ordinary soldiers could only be given up. In the concept of these generals
In the meantime, their lives are much more important than these soldiers.
Grand Duke Nicholas was silent. Although, deep down, he did not agree with such a plan. However, from a rational point of view, this is the best way now. If these generals are captured, or even he is captured.
.Then, the war really failed. Russia would never have any chance. If he could escape to Irkutsk, even if all the soldiers were abandoned, he could still command the army to fight. Tsar Nikola
The second generation can add more troops to him. Grand Duke Nicholas did not want to fail, nor did he want to fail in such a war that was related to Russia's fate. He knew very well how much losses would be paid if Russia was defeated.
The Chinese defeated Japan, but plundered 200 million pounds from the Japanese! If Russia was defeated, the losses would probably not be smaller than those of Japan. Therefore, he had to try his best to win no matter what. In this case, he
He had to escape from Ulan Ude safely. However, even though he figured it out, he was still very dissatisfied with Major General Vulianjing who proposed such a strategy.
"Okay! I approve this plan. So, first of all, we have to leave three divisions in Ulanwude to block the Chinese. Since this plan was proposed by Major General Vulianjing, then, the command of staying at Ulanwude is left behind.
The officer, let’s take charge of Major General Walianjing! The 122nd Infantry Division, the 127th Infantry Division and the 128th Infantry Division were left behind. The other troops broke through with me. As for the time to break through, it will be tomorrow night!
" said Grand Duke Nicholas. His words revealed an unquestionable smell.
Major General Vulianjing was stunned. He did not expect that he proposed this plan and finally trapped himself. Although, if he held back Ulan Ude, if it really didn't work, he could surrender to the Chinese.
In that case, his life will be over. He is only forty-two years old now and has a lot of opportunities. If he is captured by the top team, everything will be over.
Major General Varianjing wanted to refute, but when he saw the stern expression in Grand Duke Nicholas's eyes, he had to close his mouth. The other commanders of the 127th Infantry Division and the 128th Infantry Division were also very depressed. But there was no
Refuted. The other teachers and commanders breathed a sigh of relief. At least, they were very sure that they would escape this time. As for the other colleagues, they could only blame themselves for being unlucky!
After the meeting, Grand Duke Nikolai immediately took action. He first ordered Irkutsk to prepare as many ships as possible so that he could take as many people as possible. At the same time, he began to adjust the troops' defense zone.
Push the 122nd Infantry Division, the 127th Infantry Division and the 128th Infantry Division to the forefront. To keep it confidential, the results of the meeting are strictly prohibited. If anyone leaks, they will be directly punished as treason. Of course, if anyone leaks it
If so, even if Grand Duke Nicholas doesn't take action, the other generals will angrily tear the man to pieces. They finally have the chance to escape, so how can they let this be destroyed?
On April 22, the battle was still very fierce. The two armies of the Chinese Army, with the close cooperation of artillery, were steadily advancing forward. At the same time, the Chinese team found that the resistance of the Russians seemed to be relatively weak today.
After the night general came down, 70% of the entire Ulan-Ude urban area had fallen into the hands of the China Team. In addition to this, the Russian army's will to resist was becoming weaker and weaker.
The reason is not deeper.
That night, just after twelve o'clock, the Russian army left Ulan Ud, and they evacuated northwest along the Selenge River. The ships dispatched from Irkutsk had arrived in Baikal
It was on the east bank of the lake. And, in order to save time, Grand Duke Nicholas directly ordered the fleet to enter the Selenge River, and they gathered halfway.
More than 70,000 Russian troops secretly evacuated from Ulan Ude while the night was dark. In order to keep it secret, they did not use any lighting tools, and everyone, including the generals, was walking. Even though they were a little bit lucky, they only had to do so.
They don't care about so much if they can escape.
Of course, tens of thousands of people act together, without any sound. What's more, the northwest direction of Ulan-Ude has fallen under the control of the Central ** team. Although only one infantry division has been deployed here,
The entire Third Cavalry Army is also in this area with more than 40,000 people!
At three o'clock in the morning, the Russian army was discovered fifteen kilometers northwest of Ulan-Ude. Suddenly, a large number of Chinese cavalry and the 61st Division of the Army deployed in this area launched an attack on the Russian army, hoping to
Intercept them. However, it was dark and the Russian army divided up some of the troops to drag the teams, while the rest fled to Koma, five kilometers away, and came from Irkutsk.
The fleet is about to reach where it is. Moreover, it is impossible for the fleet to continue to move eastward. Going eastward is the bridge on the Selenge River occupied by the Chinese.
At the same time, the news that the Russian army broke through at night was immediately reported. The First Army Command, the Third Army Command, and the Northern Battlefield Command all received the news. Army Minister Cai Yun was also
Wake up from sleep.
As a result, after the telegram, Cai Yun, who was originally sleepy, suddenly woke up.
"Damn it, I said why are these Russians a little unstoppable today? They originally wanted to break through!" Cai Yun came to his senses.
"Sir, Commander Yang of the First Army and Commander Chen of the Third Army called to inquire about the next combat plan!" the adjutant asked.
"First, let them send troops to attack Ulan Ude immediately. There should be few Russian troops in Ulan Ude. In addition, send favorable troops to pursue the Russian troops who broke through, and be sure to stop them. At the same time, directly
Send telegrams to the Third Cavalry Army and the 61st Infantry Division, so that they can block the Russians as much as possible!" Cai Yun ordered. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to recommend it.
