The Volga River is the longest river in Europe, with a total length of more than 3,500 kilometers, and finally empties into the Caspian Sea, with a basin area of 1.36 million square kilometers, making it the longest inland river in the world.

It originates in the lacustrine marshes of the Valdai Hills in the western part of the Eastern European Plain and flows through forest, forest-steppe and steppe belts. The basin of modern society is home to 64.5 million people, or about 43% of Russia's population.

Hikten rode on his war horse, marched rapidly for more than ten days, and constantly galloped forward, which made him tired. In front of you is Samara Castle on the banks of the Volga River.

Samara is one of the most important transport hubs in Russia, with the shortest journey from Central and Eastern Europe to Siberia, Central Asia and Kazakhstan via Samara.

During the reign of Tsar Fedor Ivanovich, Samara Castle was built on the estuary of the Samara River to defend against the invasion of nomads and to ensure the safety of water transport along the Volga River from Kazan to Astrakhan.

At this time, Samara was not the administrative center of Samara Oblast, with a population of more than 1 million, but only a small town with only about 200 families each, and the castle was more populated by soldiers. Because the Volga River flows through here, the docks along the Samara coast are full of boats.

The Russian troops guarding the Samara Castle saw a large group of Far Eastern cavalry appearing in the distance, and hurriedly rang the bell to warn, preparing to close the gate of the castle to guard, but before they could close the city gate, two huge airships suddenly appeared above the castle and dropped several incendiary bombs, and the bursting flames rose into the sky, instantly swallowing the castle gate into the sea of fire.

The airship blocked the city gates with incendiary bombs. Then he used the twin water-cooled heavy machine guns at the back of the pod to shoot wildly at the Russian troops on the city wall, and it didn't take much effort to clear the defenders on the castle.

Hikten and his comrades-in-arms steered their war horses and did not rush into the city, but rushed straight to the pier along the Volga, taking advantage of the fact that the ships along the coast had not left. Took control of the banks of the Volga.

With the arrival of the main cavalry units of Siberia one after another, more than 100,000 troops of the Far Eastern Army have gathered near Samara Castle.

Because the troops marched one after another and barely received good rest and supplies, the corps headquarters decided to let the eight main cavalry divisions participating in the battle rest here for one night, receive the last supply of logistical supplies, and replenish the physical strength of the officers and men and the horses.

A large number of Far Eastern engineers are using the large number of captured ships to build several pontoon bridges across the river overnight. Strive to be able to cross the Volga by pontoon bridge early tomorrow morning.

Crossing the Volga, it is less than a thousand kilometers from Moscow, and there are only a few tributaries of the Volga River, such as the Sura River and the Oka River. The eight main cavalry divisions of the Siberian Corps were to attack all the way to the west. Kill under the city of Moscow.

When Zhao Lianhe and his troops arrived in Samara, it was already dark. He jumped off his horse tiredly, his legs almost numb, and he trembled as he walked.

Although the officers and soldiers of the troops who arrived here one after another were exhausted, they could not rest at this time, they had to take care of their respective horses, take out the little remaining finely fed horse material and water, and replenish the physical strength of the horses for the last time.

Several brigades of reserve militia followed closely behind the main forces. They drove a large number of field two-wheeled wagons and war horses with the army. In order to speed up the march of the troops, replenish the horses and horse feed for the units of the main cavalry division at any time.

Guarding tasks in areas such as Samara Castle and docks along the Volga. All were handed over to the accompanying reserve militia brigade. The militia brigade is also responsible for collecting supplies along the route and providing logistical supplies for the main force.

The logistics troops had already prepared dinner, and in the steaming marching pots lined up on the shore, there was piping hot rice porridge boiled with live dried vegetables, stewed beef and potatoes, snow-white steamed buns, refreshing pickles, canned fish and shellfish, and other foods, and each person was given a teapot of spirits.

Zhao Lianhe ran down all the way, but he was guilty of old age. Not only is he tired, but he can only deal with a mouthful of dry and hard compressed biscuits and dried milk when he is hungry every day, and for more than ten days in a row, his mouth is full of big bubbles, and he is burning just by opening his mouth.

I was finally able to eat a hot meal today. Zhao Lianhe ate a few steamed buns in one go, wiped out two lunch boxes of beef and potatoes one after another, and finally drank a teapot of spirits, not to mention how comfortable this meal was.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhao Lianhe took out a rolled up felt from his horse and spread it on the ground, then lay on it with his clothes, and then covered a thick raw wool sheepskin coat on his body, and fell asleep without much effort.

The camps of the eight main divisions of the Siberian Corps were all on the banks of the Volga River, and the officers and men were very tired and basically fell asleep, and the east bank of the Volga River was full of Far Eastern officers and soldiers sleeping in their clothes, and everywhere there was a scene of snoring like thunder.

"Tick tock...... DiDi ...... Tick Tick ...... Tick ......"

A series of rapid and piercing assembly calls woke Zhao Lianhe, who was asleep, from his sleep. At this time, it was still dark, and the campfires lit around the camp lit up as if it were day.

Although he slept for eight hours, Zhao Lianhe still felt a sore back and legs, and the bones in his body seemed to be broken. He quickly gathered the cover, and began to check the equipment on his body.

Field wagons full of supplies were parked at the edge of the camp, and the officers and men of the various units were orderly receiving supplies, including refined horse feed, field food, and ammunition and equipment, which was the last supply of supplies before the troops arrived in Moscow.

Because the troops marched for more than ten days in a row, many war horses were damaged to varying degrees, and they were no longer able to carry out the next long-distance march, so they had to replenish a large number of war horses.

Nearly a thousand kilometers to go, the eight main cavalry divisions of the Far East Siberian Corps were planned to rush all eight main cavalry divisions to Moscow in the early morning of the twelfth day.

The Siberian Corps of the Far Eastern Army wanted to get to Moscow in ten days, which was an extremely difficult task.

In order to accomplish this task, each cavalry of the Siberian Corps had to travel nearly 100 kilometers a day, and in the process of crossing several rivers, it can be said that this was an impossible task.

Since the Far Eastern Siberian Corps crossed the Ural Mountains, the eight main cavalry divisions have been marching continuously for more than ten days. The troops finally reached the city of Moscow, and the whole journey was more than 1,800 kilometers. The command of the Siberian Corps, consisting of eight main divisions, gave the order to rush to the city of Moscow within a month.

In order to accomplish this impossible task, in the next twelve days, in order to allow the eight main cavalry divisions to arrive in Moscow on time, the command of the Siberian Corps also did a lot of work.

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
