    On the evening of March 24, at the Russian military headquarters in Ulan-Ude, Lieutenant General Vladimir was drinking vodka to drown his sorrows.  Originally, he wanted to find ways to transfer them back to Moscow, or even to Europe no matter what, but he did not expect that China and Russia would declare war.  Although he also served as the commander-in-chief of an army of 150,000 people, he was considered a high-ranking official in the Russian army.  However, he was not happy at all.  Once the war breaks out, he will have no choice but to stay in this hellish place in Eastern Siberia. He has no idea about such a life without fine wine and beautiful noble ladies.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, Archduke Nicholas called and asked us to pay attention to guard against Chinese attacks. Recently, the Chinese are making frequent mobilizations, and their attacks are likely to be launched in the near future!" the adjutant came in with a telegram and said  .

    "The Chinese? Just because they want to go to war with the great Russia, they are simply desperate. Don't worry, we have deployed ten divisions and 100,000 troops on the Kyaktu front line, which is enough to resist the Chinese attack.  In addition, we have concentrated three divisions and 20,000 Cossack cavalry. Once the Chinese launch an attack on Kyactu, the brave Cossack cavalry will penetrate directly into their flanks and rear and defeat them in one fell swoop!" Vladimir Medium  Will said excitedly.  However, looking at him like that, he looked like he had drunk too much.

    Although the adjutant was very speechless about this, he believed that what Lieutenant General Vladimir said was true.  The Russian Army is not comparable to the Japanese Army, which is like a wild monkey.  If the Chinese Army thinks that it has defeated the Japanese Army, it can compete with the Russian Army.  It's all nonsense.  This battle will make those arrogant yellow-skinned monkeys understand the power of the Russian Army.  It can be said that most Russians think this way.  In their minds, their understanding of China is still that of uncivilized natives with pig tails trailing behind their heads, who only know how to nod and bow to foreigners.  They seem to have forgotten.  In the Battle of Buying City two months ago, two divisions of Russian troops attacked Buying City, but were severely defeated by a battalion of defenders of the Chinese Army.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, I think we should be more careful. After all, the Chinese are coming with great force this time!" the adjutant reminded.  After all, you never go too far wrong with caution.  his destiny.  Already tied to Lieutenant General Vladimir.  If Lieutenant General Vladimir is unlucky, he, the adjutant, will not end well either.

    "Okay, you send a telegram to Major General Turgenev in Kyakhta and ask him to pay more attention!" Lieutenant General Vladimir said with some boredom.  After that, they just drank and had fun.  Spicy vodka, drink in your mouth.  It's like a ball of flame burning to the bottom of my heart. This feeling is very refreshing.  This is why Russians love this spirit so much.

    At this time, the city is trading.  Several divisions of the Chinese Army's Third Army have already deployed.  The main force of the Third Army, the Fourth Division, has already entered the position and has only waited for tonight.  Just launched an attack.  Behind the Fourth Division are the 50th Division and the newly formed 58th Division. Once the Fourth Division tears apart the Russian defense line from the front, these two divisions immediately follow up and expand the results.  The other 59th, 60th and 61st Divisions were responsible for defending the flanks.  The Third Cavalry Army has also made preparations. After the battle begins, they will make a detour and insert themselves directly behind Kyakhta, cutting off the direct connection between the Russian army in Kyakhta and Ulan-Ude, and creating a bite for the Third Army.  The opportunity to defeat the 100,000 Russian troops near Kyaktu.  The Fourth Army will cross the grassland and penetrate directly to Baikalsk on Lake Baikal to block Kurtsk's support for Ulan-Ude.

    In the simple headquarters in the city, Lieutenant General Cheng Anguo, commander of the Third Group Army, and Major General Liu Dingyi, chief of staff, could not sleep.  Although it was already late at night, the two of them were not sleepy at all.

    "Old Liu! There are still 5 hours left, and the battle is about to start. Are the troops in front ready?" Lieutenant General Chen Anguo, commander of the Third Group Army, asked.

    "Don't worry, Old Chen. We have been preparing for so long, and we are all ready. The fourth division is at the front. The fourth division is an old unit of our Western Sichuan Army, and its combat power is not comparable to that of the newly formed units.  . The Fourth Division has enough capabilities to tear open the Russian defense line. Let these old fools know how powerful we are!" Chief of Staff Major General Liu Dingyi said excitedly.  The battlefield is where soldiers belong.  Moreover, such a large-scale war is the time for them to make achievements.

    "This old man bullied us when he was in the Qing Dynasty and occupied more than one million square kilometers of our land. When I went to see His Majesty last time, Your Majesty repeatedly requested that we must take back these lands. These  There are a lot of good things buried under the soil!" Lieutenant General Chen Anguo sighed.  In later generations, there is a saying circulating on the Internet that the richest place in China is not Suzhou and Hangzhou, but the underworld.The land ceded to the north of Longjiang.  There are a lot of wood, oil, coal, iron ore, gold mines and so on.  After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia simply relied on selling these resources to survive the most difficult years.

    "Of course, how can we let outsiders take over the property our ancestors left us? The Qing Dynasty was incompetent and humiliated the country by losing power. The empire is not so easy to bully now. I see, as long as we defeat Lao Maozi this time, not only will  We not only need to take back the ceded land, but also occupy all the excess land. Lao Maozi can seize our land, why can't we?" Major General Liu Dingyi said.

    "Haha, yes, that's the truth! This time, let Lao Maozi know how powerful we are!" Chen Anguo said with a smile.

    A few hours passed quickly.  To the south of the Kyaktu River, the soldiers of the Fourth Division were already ready.  Less than three kilometers away from the Kyaktu River, cannons were already preparing for the bombardment.  The artillery brigade of the Third Group Army and the artillery battalions of each division have a total of more than 500 105 mm cannons, including 108 155 mm heavy artillery. The thick muzzles point diagonally towards the sky, giving people a cold and chilling feeling.  a feeling of.  This does not include the infantry artillery, large-caliber heavy mortars, etc. of the regiments and battalions below.  Behind the artillery position, there were piles of artillery shells like a hill.  These shells have been transported by rail and car during this period.  After more than two months of preparation, everything is ready.

    At 6 o'clock in the morning, just after dawn, three red flares flew into the sky from the position of the Third Army.

    "Fire!" The brigade commander of the Third Army's artillery brigade personally issued the order.

    "Boom! Boom!" More than five hundred cannons began a violent bombardment against the Russian positions north of Kyakhta.  For a time, the ground shook and the mountains shook. The Russian army's positions were filled with flames and smoke.  Many Russian soldiers went to see God while they were still sleeping.  The Russian army, which hurriedly woke up during the shelling, was frightened to death by the violent shelling.  Their first reaction was to run away to the rear.  However, this gave the artillery of the Third Army the opportunity to kill them.  Large-caliber heavy artillery shells explode, and one shell can often kill a large area of ??Russian troops.

    "Lie down! Everyone lie down where they are!" The low-level generals in the Russian army beat and scolded these soldiers. Many ignorant Russian soldiers lay down in the trenches, holding their heads in their hands, and died.  The dead hid in the trenches, praying to God that no shells would fall on their heads.

    Kyaktu was also within the range of the artillery bombardment, and it was immediately surrounded by artillery fire.  Kyaktu was originally a small city, not very strong, and could not hold on in the face of fierce shelling.  A large number of houses were destroyed during the shelling.

    "Damn yellow-skinned monkeys, they actually took this time to launch a sneak attack. It's so shameless. Where is our artillery? Counterattack! Counterattack immediately!" Turgeny, who was ordered to command the 6th Cossack Cavalry Division on the Kyakhta front line.  Major General Fu, at the moment the bombardment started, immediately rushed out of the command post, shouting in disheveled clothes.

    The fierceness of the Chinese artillery was beyond his imagination.  He was a well-informed middle-aged general. When he heard the fierce bombardment, he knew that hundreds of large-caliber cannons were firing.  You know, even if he now commands 100,000 Russian troops in Kyaktu, all the artillery combined is only this much.  Not to mention that all of them are large-caliber artillery.

    In the face of the fierce shelling of the Third Army, the Russian army was completely stunned, and the troops on the front line suffered heavy casualties.  The defense line, which was already shoddy, was blown to pieces.  The Russian artillery began to fire back twenty minutes after the Third Army's artillery fired. The sound of the artillery was chaotic, and it was obvious that they were firing hastily.

    At this time, an observation balloon was hanging hundreds of meters in the air above the front line of Buying City, observing the Russian army on the north bank of the Kyaktu River. After the Russian artillery opened fire, it immediately reported their position to the third party.  Army artillery.

    "105mm heavy artillery, continue to bombard the Russian positions. 155mm heavy artillery, suppress the Russian artillery!" The brigade commander of the Third Army Artillery Brigade immediately gave the order.  The large-caliber heavy howitzers immediately adjusted their targets and suppressed the Russian artillery under the guidance of observation balloons in the sky.  Guided by observation balloons, the Third Army's artillery fired very accurately.  The Russian artillery shells that were hurriedly firing were suddenly blown up by the shells falling from the sky.  Each cannon was blown into pieces, each artillery piece was blown to pieces, and from time to time, artillery shells piled on the position were detonated.
