Chapter 1126: The First Confrontation
The first confrontation between the French army and the Prussian army was divided into winners and losers in two days, and the French army that rushed to battle compared with the well-prepared Prussian army, fell into disadvantage in all aspects, even if the comprehensive combat power of the French army is still above the Prussian army, but this advantage has become minimal, the French army did not expect the division to be disadvantageous at all, and in both directions, the Prussian army gave the head to drink!
In the face of the strong resistance of the Prussian army, McMahon had to withdraw to the territory of France, reorganize his forces, and prepare to wait for an opportunity to attack again, while the Prussian army was under the command of Prince Frederick, ready to give the French army a head-on attack, and the Prussian army and the French army had to fall into a stalemate because of the evenly matched situation.

The Franco-Prussian border stopped fighting, but Mobei, far to the east, was surging and fell into the shadow of swords and swords.
He Qimou led two cavalry divisions to the north quickly, along the way, He Qimou was anxious, for fear that it would be too late, the current situation is that Tsarist Russia and the Khan Alin League have joined forces to split Outer Mongolia, which is definitely not something He Qimou can tolerate.
Because of the rapid advance of the cavalry, the artillery regiment and heavy machine gun fire of the cavalry corps were all left behind, and they were thrown away from afar, and the cavalry of more than 30,000 people rushed forward lightly, and it took more than ten days to arrive at Bayan in Outer Mongolia! The news of the advance of the Chinese People's Army into Outer Mongolia was quickly spread among the Mongolian tribes, and the princes of the various departments rejoiced one by one, finally came to the backbone, the Chinese People's Army, it can completely drive away the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia!
At the forefront is the first cavalry brigade of the cavalry corps, the brigade commander Xu Qingcheng, as the first batch of cavalry generals trained by Guo Ye, is war-hungry, and once followed Guo Ye to Jiangdong to expel the Tsarist Russian devils, this time the Tsarist Russia returned, Xu Qingcheng was naturally the first, and wanted to meet the Cossack cavalry again.
As soon as he arrived near Bayan, Xu Qingcheng and the Cossack cavalry were facing each other, the rampant Cossack cavalry was robbing the local Mongolian residents of the grain, although the Mongols were all fierce people who could fight on horseback, but they suffered from no weapons, and in the face of the horse guns of the Cossack cavalry, they were only passively beaten.
At this time, Xu Qingcheng's First Cavalry Brigade arrived.
Xu Qingcheng didn't say a word, and with a wave of his hand, the cavalry brigade launched a charge towards the Cossack cavalry!
Overwhelmed, the cavalry launched a swift onslaught!
The Cossack cavalry is now looting, and the team is naturally two scattered cavalry regiments, almost two or three thousand people, scattered in various positions, even if the Cossack cavalry is strong, they can withstand the impact of the Chinese cavalry in such a situation!
In an instant, the Cossack cavalry was overwhelmed by the Chinese cavalry, and groups of Cossack cavalry fell into the division and encirclement of the Chinese cavalry and suffered a cruel blow!
The distant ones shot with horse pistols, the close ones slashed directly with sabers, the Cossack cavalry didn't even have the ability to resist, it was too unlucky, the Chinese cavalry came too quickly, there was no sign at all!
Ilyich, the cavalry colonel of Tsarist Russia, watched the Chinese cavalry drown his cavalry, and there was no time to block it, almost all his subordinates were scattered, and there were only less than three hundred cavalry around him.
Ilyich made a quick decision, turned around and ran, and led the Cossack cavalry around him to start a assault, he must be killed, he can't kill it, no one can survive, Ilyich knows that the Chinese People's Army and the Lu Army earlier don't know what's going on, and they hate the Japanese and Russians very much, as long as they fall into their hands, there is almost no way to live, even if they surrender later, they have to fall to the ground!
Run!
Ilyich fled all the way in embarrassment, ignoring the siege of the Chinese cavalry behind, and ran out for dozens of miles in one breath before stopping, at this time, the cavalry around him was less than two hundred, Ilyich stayed for half a day, and only then did he collect less than five hundred people, and the rest were either killed or surrendered.
"Retreat, immediately withdraw to Ulaanbaatar!"
Ilyich gritted his teeth and said, "Bayan must not stay now, the main force of the Chinese People's Army has arrived, we are such a small number of people, as long as we encounter the cavalry of the Chinese People's Army, we will not want to live, run!" ”
Ilyich led the remnants of the defeated army and ran back to Ulaanbaatar in one go, where he met Chabaev.
Seeing Ilyich, who was embarrassed to the extreme, Chabaev frowned and asked: "Ilyich, what's the matter with you?" Why are you so embarrassed? ”
"General, I was looting in Bayan, when I suddenly encountered a surprise attack by the cavalry of the Chinese People's Army, more than 2,000 troops, surrounded by the Chinese cavalry near Bayan, and were beaten in embarrassment, with heavy casualties......"
Ilyich said abruptly.
"What? You say that the Chinese People's Army has arrived in Bayan? ”
Chabaev was shocked, he didn't expect that the Chinese People's Army would come up so quickly! That's too fast, isn't it?
"General, we must plan ahead, the Chinese People's Army has a lot of troops, and there are no less than 5,000 people in their vanguard alone!"
Ilyich replied.
Chabayev's face was cold, and he shouted: "Immediately send an order, order all departments to gather their forces, and not to go down and plunder without authorization, so as not to be broken by the cavalry of the Chinese People's Army!" Order the people of the Khan Alin League to let their cavalry immediately go down to find out the news, but all the information of the Chinese People's Army must be reported in time! Also, let the Cossack cavalry move closer to the vicinity of Ulaanbaatar and prepare for a decisive battle with the Chinese People's Army! ”
Decisive battle?
The commander of the Seventh Cavalry Division, Carif was stunned: "General, we will fight a decisive battle with the Chinese People's Army when we come up?" We don't know the strength of others at all, and we have to take a big risk to rush into battle! ”
Chabayev snorted coldly: "There is definitely a risk, but not only we have a risk, but the Chinese People's Army also has it, the current Outer Mongolia is not the Outer Mongolia of two years ago, we have surrendered the two alliances, and now the Chinese People's Army does not know the detailed situation, we need to use this asymmetric information to strike a surprise blow to it, as long as we deploy it properly, it is not impossible to annihilate it in one fell swoop, if the time drags on too long, our details will be found out by the other side, and then wait until the main force of the other side arrives." , when the time comes, it will not be possible to kill the deer! ”
"General, how are you going to fight?"
Carif asked.
"Don't worry, I've got the bait ready, just waiting for the fish to take the bait!" (To be continued.) )
