    "Your Majesty, this is today's latest battle report! The Third Army has surrounded Kyakhta and has wiped out more than 40,000 Russian troops. The remaining more than 50,000 Russian troops have become turtles in the urn and will be eliminated soon. The First Army  The 48th Division captured Hailanpao and is currently mopping up the surrounding Russian troops. The 13th Division and the 54th Division are attacking Khabarovsk and are expected to capture it in two days. The main force of the Second Army was defeated at the border  The Russian army is currently marching towards Shuangchengzi. The Fifth Army has left the country from Huocheng and is attacking Almaty. The First Cavalry Army is expected to launch an attack on Almaty in two days!" In the palace, in Wang Yuze's study  , Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo reported the first day's battle report to Wang Yuze.  From every battlefield point of view, they are all good.  How could it be that the Third Army in the northern battlefield wiped out tens of thousands of enemies on the first day? It was a complete victory!

    "Haha! Very good! Power the front line and ask everyone to keep up their efforts and create greater glory!" Wang Yuze laughed.  He was very satisfied with the results achieved on the first day.  In particular, the Third Army had a good start!

    "Your Majesty, on the northern battlefield, the Russian troops in Ulan-Ude are currently moving south, trying to rescue the Russian troops in Kyakhta who are surrounded. The Third Army is trying to encircle the point for reinforcements. It will first destroy the reinforcements sent by Ulan-Ude, and then  Encircle and annihilate the Russian army in Kyaktu!" Jiang Xingguo said.

    "For specific command, the commanders of each battlefield can make decisions. They are more professional than me!" Wang Yuze said with a smile.  Cross-level command can easily lead to problems.  Isn't it true that a certain chairman of the committee often intervened in frontline command, and was often defeated in the end?  Although Wang Yuze graduated from the Army Academy, he is really not good at commanding wars.  There are still enough professional generals, so he doesn't need to worry about it. He just needs to grasp the general direction.

    "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand!" Jiang Xingguo said.  Compared with Xiong Wu and Cai Yun, his ability to command military operations is slightly inferior, but he is better at logistics management, as well as the management of troop establishment, military expenditures, and personnel.  At the same time, he is also the president of the Imperial Army University. He holds the title of Duke and is definitely a high-ranking figure in the empire.

    In Kulun, Army Minister Cai Yun, who is responsible for commanding the northern battlefield, is also issuing the latest order.  According to the reinforcements sent by Ulan-Ude and Irkutsk, the Chinese Army's two group armies and a cavalry corps in the northern battlefield are also making adjustments.  In Kyakhta, the 61st Division moved to the north and took over the defense of the northern part of Kyakhta from the Third Cavalry Corps.  To the west of Kyakhta, the cavalry brigade belonging to the Third Army was temporarily transferred to the command of the Third Cavalry Army, preparing to attack with enough troops to eat up the Cossack Legion heading south from Ulan-Ude in one fell swoop.

    Ulan-Ude in the evening, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, is a very beautiful scenery.  However, Lieutenant General Vladimir, the Russian commander in Ulan-Ude, was indeed very depressed.  That the Chinese ** team would launch an attack today was beyond his imagination. At the same time, he couldn't believe how powerful the Chinese ** team was.  Originally he thought that the 100,000 Russian troops in Kyaktu could withstand the attack of the Chinese army, but now it seems that the situation is not good!

    "Turgenev is that stupid pig. He controls an army of 100,000 people, but he can't resist the Chinese attack. He is so incompetent!" Lieutenant General Vladimir cursed.  If Kyakhta's Russian army is defeated, the occupation of the entire Ulan-Ude and even Eastern Siberia will inevitably be eroded. By then, this debt will most likely be borne by him.  In this case, not only would he not be able to be transferred back to Moscow, but it would be God's blessing that he would not be sent to a military court.  In his heart, he placed all the responsibility on Turgenev and the Kyakhta defenders.

    "General, a telegram from Kyakhta! Now, Kyakhta has been surrounded by the Chinese. The 6th Cossack Cavalry Division tried to break through the Chinese blockade and let Kyakhta's defenders retreat. However, the 6th Cossack Cavalry Division was  Defeated and suffered heavy losses. Now, the Chinese encirclement has been formed. Kyactu's defenders are now in trouble!" Lieutenant General Vladimir's adjutant said with some worry.

    "Those damn stupid pigs!" Lieutenant General Vladimir cursed bitterly.  He was pacing back and forth in his office, agitated, but there was no solution.

    "Where is the Ninth Cossack Legion?" Lieutenant General Vladimir asked.  In the morning, after receiving the news that Kyakhta was attacked, he sent the Ninth Cossack Legion south to rescue Kyakhta's defenders. Now it seems that the Chinese's combat power is too strong, with 20,000 Cossacks.  The cavalry doesn¡¯t seem to have much effect!  The most important thing is that there are only 50,000 troops in Ulan-Ude. After sending 20,000 Cossack cavalry, only 30,000 troops are left.  In the event that the Ninth Cossack Legion was severely damaged, the guards of Ulan-Ude would beIt's a big problem.

    "The Ninth Cossack Legion is less than 60 kilometers away from Kyakhta. According to General Anatoly's telegram, they will be able to launch an attack on the Chinese troops surrounding Kyakhta tomorrow morning and rescue the besieged army!  "The adjutant said.

    "Hmph! Do you believe they can defeat the Chinese team?" Lieutenant General Vladimir sneered.

    "General, the Chinese's combat power is beyond our belief. As far as I know, the Chinese have put a cavalry corps on the battlefield, a total of 40,000 people. Today's battle of the 6th Cossack Cavalry Division has shown that  The Chinese cavalry has become stronger. In addition, the Chinese have nearly 200,000 troops in Kyactu, so I think the Ninth Cossack Legion is likely to fail!" The adjutant hesitated and then said.

    "I think so too. Now it seems that the battle situation in Kyakhta has been completely corrupted. Investing more troops will only increase the losses. Order General Anatoly to withdraw to Ulan-Ude!"  Lieutenant General Vladimir said.  With 20,000 Cossack cavalry, Ulan-Ude's defense can be greatly strengthened, making him safer.

    The adjutant was suddenly sweating profusely. If the Ninth Cossack Legion was withdrawn, the defenders of Kyaktu would be dead!

    At this moment, a low-level officer sent a telegram in. The adjutant saw it and breathed a sigh of relief.

    ¡°General, Grand Duke Nicholas called us and asked us to send favorable troops to Kyakhta to rescue Kyakhta¡¯s defenders!¡± the adjutant said.

    "What? Are we still sending troops? Do we still need Ulan-Ude?" Vladimir yelled like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

    "Then, general, shall we follow the Grand Duke's orders?" the adjutant asked.

    "No! Ulan-Ude's defense is already very weak, and we can no longer disperse our forces!" Lieutenant General Vladimir said stubbornly.  In the end, he decided that the mission of the Ninth Cossack Legion would remain unchanged and continue to go south to rescue the Russian army in Kyakhta. However, Ulan-Ude would not send additional troops.  Relying on only 30,000 people to defend Ulan-Ude, he was already very worried.

    Irkutsk, after receiving the news that Kyakhta¡¯s garrison failed to break through and was already surrounded by heavy siege, Grand Duke Nikolai also felt nervous.  If Kyakhta's 100,000 Russian troops were annihilated, it would be a huge blow to the entire war situation in Eastern Siberia.  Due to transportation capacity, the Russian army is very slow to gather in Eastern Siberia. If this continues, the Russian army's military disadvantage will become more and more serious.  At the same time, Grand Duke Nicholas also realized that appointing Lieutenant General Vladimir as the commander of the Ulan-Ude region seemed to be a complete mistake.  If I could accept my fate as a talented person, I might not be in this situation now.  However, now that it has become like this, there is no way to change the generals at the last moment, but it will cause unnecessary trouble.  Therefore, Grand Duke Nicholas could only hope that the dispatched reinforcements could arrive at Ulan-Ude as soon as possible, strengthen the defense there, and block the Chinese troops east of Lake Baikal.

    In Buying City, Lieutenant General Chen Anguo, commander of the Third Group Army, and Major General Liu Dingyi, chief of staff, are analyzing the latest war situation.

    "The Third Cavalry Army is ready. The 9th Cavalry Brigade and the 10th Cavalry Brigade are facing the Russian 20,000 Cossack cavalry head-on. The 11th Cavalry Brigade and the 12th Cavalry Brigade are outflanking the cavalry brigade on both sides.  Reserve team. With so many troops concentrated, there should be no problem in dealing with 20,000 Cossack cavalry!" Lieutenant General Chen Anguo said.

    "I think so too. Although the Russian Cossack cavalry is very fierce, they are not afraid of our powerful firepower. On the contrary, I am worried that the attack on Kyakhta will cause a lot of casualties. Kyakhta  Although this small town was almost destroyed by our shelling, the Russian army has obviously made a lot of preparations. If they attack the city by force, they will probably pay a huge price. The war has just begun. If the losses are too large,  If it does, it may not be conducive to future battles. For example, if the losses of the Fourth Division are too large, it will have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the entire group army!" Chief of Staff Major General Liu Dingyi said.

    "Then what should we do?" Lieutenant General Chen Anguo frowned.

    "Send someone to Kyakhta to persuade them to surrender! These Russians are now at a dead end, and they should make the right choice." Major General Liu Dingyi suggested.

    "Okay, but I don't know if the Russians will accept our kindness! If they don't agree, there is no other way but to attack by force!" Lieutenant General Chen Anguo said.

    "Send someone to test them first and test their tone. I believe they will definitely recognize the reality, especially after the reinforcements sent from Ulan-Ude were eliminated by us, they will definitely make the right choice!"  Liu Dingyi?The general smiled.
