    "Fire!" After the Cossack cavalry charged within less than one kilometer of the Chinese Army's Third Cavalry Corps, the army commander, Major General Bahar, issued the order to fire.  All of a sudden, all the heavy machine guns, light machine guns and mortars deployed in front of the position opened fire, forming a dense metal storm and sweeping towards the high-speed charging Cossack cavalry.

    "Click, click, click!" The sounds of heavy machine guns and light machine guns mixed together, forming a crossfire that blocked the entire path forward of the Cossack cavalry.  Even though the Cossack cavalry were deliberately dispersed in order to reduce casualties, under the intense firepower, these Cossack cavalry still fell on the road of charge.  Pieces of bullets swept across, and these Cossack cavalry fell to the ground like cutting wheat.  Either the Cossack cavalry were killed, or the horses under their crotches were killed, leaving almost no survivors.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Cannonballs fell from the sky one after another, falling into the ranks of the Cossack cavalry advancing at high speed. The air waves generated by the explosion overturned the advancing Cossack cavalry, and the scattered shrapnel easily harvested them.  with their lives.  Under such powerful firepower, the attacking Ninth Cossack Legion suffered heavy losses.

    "Damn, this is not a battle at all, this is a murder!" Major General Anatoly held the riding crop in his hand tightly and said with a pale face.  He watched those Cossack cavalry bravely plunge into the intertwined firepower of the squadron, and were beaten into sieves, just like moths flying into the flame. Although he was used to life and death, but in this  Under this situation, it still made him very uncomfortable.

    "General. The Chinese's firepower is too powerful. It is impossible for our cavalry to break through their firepower network!" the commander of the 11th Cossack Cavalry Division said with a look of horror.  His division, responsible for the main frontal attack, was severely damaged.  Only a few minutes into the battle, his troops were completely suppressed, and he could only watch helplessly as his troops were killed by the powerful firepower of the squadron.

    "The battle on the flanks is about to begin. The Chinese have concentrated so much firepower on the front. Their flank defense must be weak. We still have a chance!" Major General Anatoly said.  Now, he could only place his hopes on the two divisions on the flanks.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom! Ta-ta-ta-ta!" As soon as Anatoly finished speaking, fierce gunfire sounded from both wings of the Chinese army.  Although the firepower is much weaker than the front, the sound of the gunfire still sounds very powerful.  Anatole's face suddenly turned pale.  He really couldn't figure out why the Chinese army could be equipped with so many machine guns and cannons. Didn't these cost money?  Compared with the Chinese ** troops, he originally thought they were well-equipped Cossack cavalry, but they were worse than beggars.

    The equipment of the Russian army has always been the worst.  In the history of World War I, Russian soldiers often shared a rifle with two people.  One soldier fights with a rifle, and the other follows him. When the soldier is killed, the soldier behind picks up the rifle and continues fighting.  Although Russia has a large population and sufficient soldiers, its industrial gap has greatly restricted their combat power.  The Cossack cavalry, as the elite of the Russian army, can only satisfy one man with a rifle and a saber. As for heavy machine guns and artillery, these heavy things are not conducive to rapid maneuvering, and they are rarely equipped.  But now, it is very clear what consequences the Cossack cavalry will have when facing the Chinese Army's Third Cavalry Corps, which is armed to the teeth.

    The fierce battle is still continuing, but this is not a battle at all, but a massacre.  The fierce Cossack cavalry were galloping on their horses, trying to break through the squadron's defense line, but what greeted them was indeed a dense barrage of bullets.  These Cossack cavalrymen were often shot to death by dense bullets before they could even reach the front of the squadron.

    "General, we can't continue like this. We must retreat. The Chinese's firepower is too powerful and we are no match for them. If we continue to fight, we will only lose the entire Ninth Cossack Legion!" "The 12th Cossacks  said the commander of the cavalry division.

    "General, Kyaktu is dead. We can't save them! Let's retreat!" Other officers also persuaded them.  If possible, they would of course be willing to rescue the surrounded Russian troops in Kyakhta, but if it comes at the cost of their own lives, no one is likely to be willing to do so.  The powerful firepower of the Chinese ** team shocked them. This was simply not something they could deal with.  Therefore, they rationally chose to retreat.  To put it nicely, this is called preserving strength, but to put it poorly, it is called running for one's life in a panic.

    "Order all troops to retreat immediately and break away from contact with the Chinese!" General Anatoly took a deep breath, and thensaid.  He looked in the direction of Kyaktu and said softly: "May God bless you!" Then he immediately turned the horse's head and galloped away to the north.  The Cossack cavalry who were storming the position of the Third Cavalry Army also retreated like a tide.

    "Commander, Lao Maozi has retreated, let's pursue him!" Brigadier General An Hongyuan, commander of the 9th Brigade, said excitedly.

    "Every unit should pursue immediately! Kill Lao Maozi's effective forces as much as possible!" Major General Bahar ordered.

    "Kill! Charge!" The troops of the four brigades of the Third Cavalry Army immediately rushed towards the fleeing Russian Cossack cavalry. The crisp carbine shots were like fried beans.  Although it is somewhat difficult to shoot while the horses are marching, most of the soldiers of the Third Cavalry Army are Mongolians. They have all practiced good riding skills. These problems will not trouble them at all.  The Russian army was unable to resist at all, so they had to whip the horses' buttocks with whips in order to escape quickly.  Dead bodies were left all over the grassland.

    In the previous attack, the Russian Ninth Cossack Legion left at least seven to eight thousand corpses, scattered in disorder on the grassland.  The surviving Cossack cavalry, after receiving the order to retreat, also ran away without thinking about anything else.  They were already frightened out of their wits.  Some of the Cossack cavalry who had not yet been killed were still moaning in pain.  Some horses that had lost their owners were neighing loudly, and the entire battlefield was like a Shura hell.

    "Send a report to Commander Chen Anguo and tell them that we have defeated the Russian Ninth Cossack Legion and are now pursuing it!" Major General Bahar ordered with a smile.  In this battle, although the Third Cavalry Corps had the advantage in firepower and manpower, it was able to defeat the fierce Cossack cavalry. This has shown that their Mongolian cavalry is more powerful than the Cossack cavalry.

    "Yes, Commander!" The communications officer quickly sent a telegram to the Third Army Headquarters in Maocheng City.

    When the Third Army received the telegram, the entire command headquarters was overjoyed.  The battle lasted less than an hour, and they were already victorious, which made them very excited.

    "Call back to Commander Bahar and tell them to pay attention to their safety and not to pursue them too far. This will give Lao Maozi an opportunity!" Major General Liu Dingyi, Chief of Staff of the Third Group Army, said cautiously.  Kyakhta is a full 180 kilometers away from Ulan-Ude. If the Third Army directly pursues Ulan-Ude, it will be in trouble.

    "Chief of Staff, don't worry, Commander Bahar must be measured!" Lieutenant General Chen Anguo said.

    Major General Liu Dingyi nodded, he just wanted to remind him.

    "Chief of Staff, let that boy Yu Hai make another trip! Tell the old guy in Kyakta that their reinforcements have been defeated. If they don't surrender, I will wipe Kyakta off the map tomorrow!"  Chen Anguo said confidently.

    After receiving the order, Major Yu Hai once again went to the Russian military headquarters in Kyakhta to persuade Major General Turgenev and others to surrender.

    "General Turgenev, let me tell you some bad news. Your Ninth Cossack Corps has just been defeated by our Third Cavalry Corps, with tens of thousands of losses. Now the entire force is being retreated. Our army is retreating.  We are in pursuit. Your army¡¯s reinforcements are gone!¡± Major Yu Hai said.

    "How is it possible? In such a short period of time? The Ninth Cossack Legion failed?" The Russian generals in the headquarters all looked at each other.

    "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, let me go and see for myself!" Major General Mikhail said.

    Major General Turgenev nodded.  Major General Mikhail rode away with a few guards.  Major Yu Hai stayed at the Russian army's headquarters.

    In less than half an hour, Major General Mikhail returned.  However, his face was pale.  When he arrived at the battlefield, the Chinese army had already begun to clean the battlefield, but the layers of corpses made him understand that what Yu Hai said was true.

    The generals at the Russian Army Command suddenly felt nervous when they saw Major General Mikhail's expression.  Obviously, they now understand that what Yu Hai said is true.  More than 20,000 Cossack cavalry were defeated in less than an hour, which caused deep panic in their hearts. The eyes looking at Yu Hai added a lot of fear.

    "Turgenev, the Ninth Cossack Legion has really been defeated. The corpses are piled up like a hill! We will not have any more reinforcements!" Major General Mikhail said with some 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!" Major Yu Hai said.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Major General ??Nev hesitated for a moment, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and then said: "On behalf of the Kyaktu garrison, I surrender to the Chinese Army!"
