    "General, I heard that the Chinese cavalry was dispatched. General Dimitri led the 2nd Cossack Army and the 5th Cossack Army to fight." A short middle-aged major general said.  However, his face showed a smile, as if he was waiting for a good show.  He was a division commander of the 9th Cossack Regiment of the Russian Army. During the battle of Kyactu, most of his division was lost. After returning to Ulan-Ude, there was no replacement.  The treatment received by the entire 9th Cossack Legion has dropped greatly, which makes them somewhat dissatisfied.  And now, General Dimitri, the commander of the 2nd Cossack Legion, actually wants to lead his cavalry to fight the Chinese Third Cavalry Army. This makes the people of the 9th Cossack Legion couldn't help but laugh at these fools.

    Major General Anatoly, the commander of the 9th Cossack Legion, also had an inexplicable smile in his eyes.  After the defeat at Kyaktu, although he was not court-martialed, he was warned.  This made him very dissatisfied.  Now, Major General Dimitri is going to die with the 2nd Cossack Corps and the 5th Cossack Corps. Of course, he is waiting to see this good show.

    People are like this. If they suffer a loss, they will be very unhappy.  If you are ridiculed by others again, it will be even more unpleasant.  This is what happened to the 9th Cossack Legion.  After they suffered a defeat, they were ridiculed by the 2nd Cossack Legion and the 5th Cossack Legion.  This made them very eager to see the 2nd Cossack Corps and the 5th Cossack Corps also suffer a bloody blow in front of the Chinese Army's Third Cavalry Corps.  This proves that it is not that they are too weak, but that the enemy is too strong!

    "General Dimitri is a famous general among our Cossack cavalry. He will definitely lead the brave soldiers of the 2nd Cossack Legion and the 5th Cossack Legion to victory!" Major General Anatoly said without hesitation.

    "Haha! I hope God will bless him!" The teacher also burst out laughing.  He did not believe at all that Dimitri led two Cossack regiments to defeat the Chinese Army's Third Cavalry Army.  The battle at that time left him still frightened even thinking about it now.  The Chinese cavalry cannot be regarded as real cavalry at all.  A real cavalry should rely on the saber in his hand to chop off the enemy's head. This kind of battle, which relies on the command of the horse to sprint and easily chop off the head of the place, is the battle of the cavalry.  The Chinese cavalry, like the infantry, relied on powerful firepower to win.  This makes these brave Cossack cavalry very shameless.  However, I have to admit that this tactic is very effective.  The Cossack cavalry who used ancient tactics were only massacred in the face of intensive firepower.

    Grand Duke Nicholas of Ulan-Ude also learned that a large-scale war was about to break out between the cavalry of both sides.  However, he had strong confidence in the Cossack cavalry.  Grand Duke Nicholas was also a cavalry general, and he was familiar with the power of the Cossack cavalry.  In this world, there is absolutely no cavalry that can defeat the Cossack cavalry.  Therefore, he firmly believed that the Cossack cavalry could win.  The 50,000 Cossack cavalry in his hands are responsible for protecting the back road of Ulan-Ude. If the back road is cut off, all supplies of Ulan-Ude will inevitably be cut off, and the morale of the defenders will plummet.  This will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the Russian army.  Therefore, he personally sent a telegram to Major General Dimitri, asking him to defeat the Chinese Army's Third Cavalry Corps and win this cavalry duel.

    And Major General Dimitri also assured Grand Duke Nicholas that the brave Cossack cavalry will definitely use the sabers in their hands to win victory for Russia.

    China is also very concerned about this battle.  After the victory of the Third Cavalry Army, it was able to cross the Selenga River and block the retreat route of the Russian army in Ulan-Ude.  This will completely surround the Russian army in Ulan-Ude, and it will definitely be a devastating blow to the morale of the Russian army.  By then, it will be much easier for the Chinese team to win Ulan-Ude.

    "Army Commander and Army Minister Cai called us and asked us to win this battle. And seize the bridge over the Selenge River intact!" Major General Li Zhuo, deputy commander of the Third Cavalry Army, said.  Major General Er said.

    "Well! Although the two Cossack regiments of the Russian army have more than 40,000 people, they are not our opponents. The difficulty now is to capture the bridge on the Selenga River. In case the Russian army fails, the bridge  If it gets blown up, then we have no choice but to take a detour!" Major General Bashar said.  There is a bridge on the lower reaches of the Selenge River, dozens of kilometers west of Ulan-Ude, but the Russian army did not blow it up.  This is for the two Cossack cavalry regiments of the Russian army to ensure the safety of Ulan-Ude's flanks and the channel of the Selenga River through the bridge.  If the Cossack Cavalry Corps fails, the channel of the Selenga River will inevitably be cut off.  By then, the Russian army will definitely jump over the wall and blow up the bridge.

    "Commander, how about this! After the battle begins, we will send some troops, bypassing the battlefield and seizing the bridge.  At the same time, it can also block the retreat of the two Cossack regiments of the Russian army.  Let them have no way to escape!  "Major General Li Zhuo said.

    "Okay! Let the 12th Cavalry Brigade deploy two cavalry battalions! They will set off immediately after the battle begins!" Major General Bashar, commander of the Third Cavalry Corps, said.

    At 9 a.m., the 3rd Cavalry Corps encountered the 2nd and 5th Russian Cossack Corps.  To be precise, the Third Cavalry Corps took a defensive formation.  The 9th Cavalry Brigade and the 10th Cavalry Brigade on the front have been prepared. The two brigades' 24 120mm heavy mortars and 24 75mm infantry guns have established artillery positions. The artillery shells are piled up like a hill.  .  In front of the cavalry were 120 heavy machine guns and 160 light and medium mortars lined up.  On the flanks are the 11th Cavalry Brigade and the 12th Cavalry Brigade. Among them, the 12th Cavalry Brigade has deployed two cavalry battalions and has made a large circle from a distance, preparing to seize the bridge on the Selenga River.

    "General Dimitri, the cowardly Chinese, they did not dare to attack us, but put up a defensive formation. These cowards are not qualified cavalry at all. Let our people teach them something  This kind of cavalry is a qualified cavalry!" The commander of the Russian 5th Cossack Regiment is a middle-aged man with a big beard.

    "Haha! That's right, only our brave Cossack cavalry are the real cavalry. These cowardly Chinese are only allowed to lead horses. Do they think that with some heavy machine guns and cannons, they can stop the heroic Cossacks?  Cavalry? We will let them see that it is their machine guns and cannons that are more powerful, or the sabers in our hands!" Major General Dimitri also looked arrogant, and did not take the Chinese Army's Third Cavalry Corps seriously at all.  inside.  In their view, this kind of hiding behind machine guns and cannons cannot be regarded as real cavalry at all, but just infantry on horseback.

    "General Dimitri, let my 5th Cossack Legion teach some cowardly Chinese people a lesson and let them see the power of real cavalry!" said the commander of the 5th Cossack Legion.

    "Okay! Then the 5th Cossack Legion will attack! I really hope the Chinese won't be scared enough to wet their pants." Major General Dimitri laughed.

    "Cossack warriors, charge, use the sabers in your hands to harvest the lives of those cowardly yellow-skinned monkeys, and let them see the power of real cavalry!" The commander of the 5th Cossack Legion raised the saber in his hands.  shouted loudly.

    "Ula! Ula!" The soldiers of the 5th Cossack Legion drew their sabers and shouted crazily.

    Subsequently, these brave Cossack cavalry began to mobilize their horses and charged towards the Third Cavalry Corps five kilometers away.  At the beginning, the war horse trotted, slowly, the speed became faster and faster, and soon it was charging at high speed.  They looked crazy and fearless, ready to use the sabers in their hands to cut off the heads of the Chinese people and win.

    The sound of horse hooves coming together is like thunder, giving people an overwhelming feeling.  However, the soldiers of the Third Cavalry Corps behaved very calmly.  Half a month ago, during the Battle of Kyactu, they had already experienced the power of these Cossack cavalry.  Perhaps, in a one-on-one fight, they really are no match.  However, if these Cossack cavalry were to stumble into the intensive firepower and use their bodies to fight the steel, they would be asking for death.

    "Boss, why do you think these old men are so stupid? They clearly see us deploying so many heavy machine guns and artillery, but they still dare to charge forward. Isn't this looking for death?" A Chinese cavalryman said softly.

    "Who knows? Maybe these old fools really think they are invulnerable!"

    "Get ready, fire!" After the Russian 5th Cossack Corps rushed to a place only two kilometers away from the 3rd Cavalry Army, the artillery commander of the 3rd Cavalry Army issued the order to fire.  The 24 120mm heavy mortars and 24 75mm infantry guns deployed at the rear of the cavalry column began to fire artillery shells at maximum speed.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Cannonballs fell into the ranks of the Russian Cossack cavalry one after another, and shrapnel flew across the cavalry, killing each and every cavalryman.  Some war horses were killed by the explosion and fell down on the attack path. The cavalry on their backs were also thrown out, and then they were trampled to pieces by the high-speed charging horses behind them.

    Although the artillery fire was very fierce, these Cossack cavalry turned a blind eye and still maintained the formation of charging.  They believed that as long as they rushed over and rushed into the queue of the Chinese cavalry, the artillery of the Chinese cavalry would be useless. By then, the brave Cossack cavalry would be able to win.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
