    After clearing the Soviet sentries on the periphery, Tong Batu commanded four cavalry companies and quickly approached the Soviet army like a violent surge on the ground in the dark night.  <-¡·

    There was no special loud noise, but they felt that the ground was shaking. The sleeping Soviet soldiers finally felt the yiyang. They opened their sleepy eyes and looked over in a daze. What caught their eyes was the rapidly approaching figure.  The expanding black shadows were strings of flying tongues of fire. Then, they heard the deafening bursts of gunfire and felt the rain of bullets flying towards them.

    When Tong Batu's troops approached the Soviet camp, the four companies divided into four arrows and shot them into the Soviet soldiers together. Although the brigade commander had an order not to use sabers, they were accustomed to slashing and stabbing immediately.  The cavalrymen, while executing the brigade commander's orders, could not give up their inherent habits and creatively used left-handed swords, right-guns, or grenades to rush into the Soviet crowd.

    The attack came so suddenly and violently that the Soviet soldiers, whose brains were still in a state of confusion, did not understand what was happening at all. They were first beaten by a dense rain of bullets and turned into corpses in their sleep.  Then, another cold blade and the sound of piercing the air came on the head of the still living person.

    The grassland in the dark night is no longer quiet. It is like being awakened for a moment after entering the body. The roar of submachine guns and light machine guns, the "rumbling" explosion of grenades, the echo of horse hooves trampling through the night, and the "plop" sound of the blade entering the body are all on the verge of death.  The screams of the dead, the panicked shouts of the Soviet soldiers, and the roars of the soldiers of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade were intertwined to form a vivid and bloody picture of a night battle on the grassland.  <

    The raid was direct and effective. The four cavalry companies of Tong Batu Brigade completely disrupted the position of the armored brigade headquarters of the Third Army of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region and the directly affiliated troops in one assault.  In the vast night, the Chinese cavalry suddenly appeared like ghosts. The Soviet soldiers did not know how many enemies were coming. They only knew that the dense rain of bullets hit their companions around them, and blood spattered all over their heads and faces.  yes.

    The sound of sabers piercing the air kept ringing, as Soviet soldiers ran aimlessly.  The next moment, I found that my head had fallen behind my body, and grenades were constantly being thrown at armored vehicles and trucks, making several loud "booms".  Groups of fireballs exploded, and the firelight flashed.  The death-like figures of Chinese cavalry are everywhere.  The gleaming saber, the gun spitting flames.

    As soon as Tong Batu pulled the trigger, the submachine gun spurted out a tongue of flame. In front of him, several Soviet soldiers spun and fell to the ground.  Then, he suddenly pinched the horse's belly, and the war horse rose into the air.  The saber in his left hand suddenly slashed down, and half of the head of a Soviet soldier who was about to raise his gun to shoot was cut off. The splattered blood flew up to Lao Gao. Tong Batu and the soldiers yiyang, instinctively chose to use the left sword and the right sword.  Only in this way can the heroic spirit of the Chinese cavalry be expressed in the shooting style of the gun.

    Tong Batu circled the horse's head, followed the armored cars and trucks, and with the burning fire, he saw at a glance a Soviet officer, protected by several guards, hiding next to an armored car that had not been blown up, and kept  Shooting, several soldiers from his own army were shot down from their horses. Tong Batu was furious. He took off the reins and the war horse accelerated, running towards the Soviet officer. When the several guard battalions around him saw him,  Immediately abandon the enemy at hand and pursue them.

    The war horse was still galloping, "ta da da!" The submachine gun in Tong Batu's hand fired a burst of bullets. Before several Soviet soldiers fell down, Tong Batu's war horse had already passed by the corpse.  His target was the Soviet officer who had shot several of his soldiers.

    This was a typical chaotic battle. The cavalry of the second brigade and the Soviet soldiers were mixed together. In the dark night, the Soviet soldiers who were suddenly hit could not accurately and clearly judge the enemy's situation, even if they climbed into the armored vehicle.  , even when he used the machine gun in the car, he could not find the target to shoot. There were messy, shaking and running figures everywhere. A bunch of heavy machine gun bullets fell, and those who were shot and killed must be Chinese cavalry, but the most numerous ones were themselves.  companion.

    When the Soviet machine gunner was hesitating, a grenade with white smoke flew into the armored vehicle cabin. Under his fearful gaze, the grenade suddenly exploded into a ball of blazing white light.

    With a loud "boom", the armored vehicle suddenly turned into a burning fireball.

    Tong Batu's war horse was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the Soviet officer. Several of his guards had long been killed by the hail of bullets. Then with the flash of fire, Tong Batu saw the Soviet officer's face.  There were three silver stars hanging on the epaulette, arranged in a triangle. "It's a big fish, at least it's a leader!" Tong Batu thought to himself.

    At this moment, the Soviet officer raised his pistol and aimed it at himself, with a desperate and ferocious light flashing in his eyes. Tong Batu smiled ferociously and pulled the reins suddenly. The war horse suddenly stood up, holding his hand.  The sword fell down like lightning, first cutting off the Soviet officer's hand.The arm of the gun then quickly passed across his neck, and a bloody arrow spurted out. The light of life in the Soviet officer's eyes dimmed instantly.

    Then, with his face facing the ground, he fell down on the grass like a piece of wood. Tong Batu didn't even look back and flew past. He was extremely confident in his sword skills and could clearly feel it.  , the blade had cut through the artery and throat of the Soviet officer, and almost cut off the old Maozi officer's head.

    Turning the horse's head, he took a look at the chaotic battlefield. Around him, there were soldiers galloping past. They resisted the urge to rush into the battle group again. As soon as they urged the horses, they quickly left the battlefield and disappeared into the darkness.

    After riding the horse for more than ten minutes, Tong Batu reined in the horse, looked at the luminous watch, and smiled. The entire raid strictly followed the pre-made combat plan, from the beginning to the end of the battle to leaving the battlefield.  For thirty-five minutes, including fifteen minutes of separation from the battlefield, this distance was already a safe distance beyond the range of the Soviet light and heavy machine guns.

    The battlefield is still burning, and under the firelight, the figures of the Soviet soldiers are still running in panic. The four company commanders, filled with murderous intent and bloody smell, gathered around Tong Batu, and the reconnaissance company commander Bai Yinbaoli  Captain Gao licked his lips and suggested: "Brigadier Commander, the Soviet army is still in chaos. I estimate that by this time, they still don't know who gave such a cruel blow. Why don't we kill them again?"  It would be a pity not to take advantage of the opportunity to expand the results of the battle! "

    Tong Batu glared at him and said: "You know how to kill without thinking. The reason why we take advantage is the effect of the surprise attack. We are mixed with the Soviet soldiers. Now, if we kill again,  As long as the Soviet soldiers have a few light and heavy machine guns, we will become a living target, and we will lose more than we gain. We can't fight such a losing battle! If we give the order, the troops will immediately leave the battlefield and chase the main force of the brigade."

    It came and went like the wind, and it was a whirlwind that killed people and killed people. The second brigade's raid started quickly and ended quickly, leaving behind burning Soviet armored vehicles and trucks, corpses scattered everywhere, and wounded soldiers constantly wailing.  This fearful confusion lasted until daylight.

    The remaining officers of the Armored Brigade of the Third Army of the Soviet Transcaucasus Military District looked at the messy battlefield and the troops with heavy casualties. They wanted to cry without tears. They hurriedly organized soldiers to rescue the wounded, count the casualties, and bury the bodies. To be honest, when they arrived  So far, they can't believe that the Chinese cavalry troops who were almost surrounded in Irkutsk would make a sudden attack. If it weren't for the dozens of corpses of Chinese cavalry left on the battlefield, they would never dare to  Believe it, it's true.

    The numbers of casualties and losses were quickly tallied up. All six camps in the brigade were raided by Chinese cavalry at the same time. More than 1,800 soldiers were killed or injured, and more than 100 armored vehicles and trucks were blown up.  Although the armored brigade did not lose its combat effectiveness, it was severely damaged. It lost about one-third of its soldiers and equipment.

    The casualties of the Chinese cavalry in the sneak attack made these and the Soviet officers speechless for a while. In the six camps, only the bodies of the Chinese cavalry were found, less than 60, and more than 40 dead horses. In other words,  , in a surprise attack of more than 20 minutes, the Chinese cavalry killed more than 1,800 Soviet Red Army soldiers and more than 100 armored vehicles and trucks with a casualty ratio of one to thirty.  <

    When the Soviet officers were still thinking about how to report the losses to the army commander, Major General Sergeyev, a piece of bad news that shocked them even more came. The brigade commander and brigade political commissar, Colonel Nikolay Gorsky, was killed in action.  He was chopped to death by the saber of the Chinese cavalry. Only half of his head was connected to his neck. His death was extremely miserable and indecent. When he was discovered by the soldiers, the brigade commander was chewing dirt.  The posture and body have become stiff.

    The soldier responsible for burying the body recognized Comrade Brigade Commander's identity from his epaulettes. He did not dare to act rashly and maintained Comrade Brigade Commander's posture before he died heroically. He ran over and reported this. For those who survived the armored brigade,  For these officers, the news was nothing less than a bolt from the blue.

    ??

    Anyone in the armored brigade can die, even if most of the family's wealth is gone, it won't be a big problem. However, if the brigade commander and political commissar Comrade Nikolay Gorsky dies, for the officers who are still alive,  , that would be a disaster, and maybe everyone would be buried together.

    ?In the armored brigade, Comrade Nikolagorski's special identity is not a secret. Just being an important member of the Military Region's Anti-Counterrevolutionary Committee, with this identity, he can move sideways in the Transcaucasus Military Region. In addition, as Comrade Commander of the Military Region, he can personally  Being approved to serve as the military and political officer of the armored brigade, the dual identities combined were enough to make the surviving officers, led by the brigade chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir, remain silent and feel a chill in the back of their heads.
