At night, the Soviets attacked again, but as always, they were repelled by the Chinese, and this time there were no big losses on both the offensive and defensive sides, the Soviets lost hundreds of corpses, and the Chinese side also suffered one or two hundred casualties. However, several of the Soviet artillery were once again destroyed by the fortress shells, and the Soviet troops carefully counted how many fortress shells were left of the Chinese. The Chinese calculated the movement of the army, and Du Baosan asked Wang Yuan to take care of the wounded and prepare better, while communicating with the rear headquarters in time and waiting for the action of the army.

In the rear of the Kizil fortress, the army of the Western Regions Military Region of China has moved, hundreds of thousands of troops have been mobilized, militia are guarding every choke point, and martial law has begun to fall into the city, especially the prisoner of war camps and refugee concentration camps are strictly managed. Anyone who was unknown on the street was arrested, and many local Central Asians were sent to prisoner-of-war camps if they showed the slightest displeasure. Tension filled the rear, and the 200,000-strong army of reservists was eager to wait for a battle.

In the north of Kazakhstan, the left flank of the Soviet army easily received Askana, the capital of Kazakhstan, without hindrance, and the local people embraced the Soviet soldiers with tears in their eyes, which flattered the Soviet soldiers.

It turned out that this place had already been looted by the Chinese, and even a piece of steel was not left for the Soviets, leaving only hundreds of thousands of victims with empty stomachs. The commander of the left wing, General Saragaev, was stunned by the anger of these Chinese, who were so vicious that they threw hundreds of thousands of Central Asian victims to Soviet Russia. His troops were not stopped by the Chinese, but by hundreds of thousands of eager victims in Astana. And Saragaev's opponent, Chen Jiongming, the commander of the Jiaolong Army, also took the opportunity to ask the soldiers to preach to the victims of the disaster in Central Asia that the Soviet Russian army was saving the victims in Astana. Hundreds of thousands of Central Asians poured into Astana because of the looting and oppression of Chinese defense force soldiers.

Using the victims to block the army, Chen Jiongming easily stopped the Soviet Army's Eastern Group Army and the Central Asian Cluster Left Wing Army hundreds of kilometers away, and he couldn't help but feel proud.

At this time in Dragon City. The duo of Ren Yuanxing and Zhu Yongquan were also anxiously waiting for the news of the attack on their left and right flanks, namely the Third Division and the Sixteenth Cavalry Division. If fighting can overkill the adrenal glands, then waiting can also be stressful and depressing. On the map, the reconnaissance of the Tongguò reconnaissance aircraft can clearly analyze the strategic intention of the Soviet army, which is to eat the Kizil fortress and one of the sixteen Chinese regiments in it.

"I think this war is a bit ...... Not necessarily. Chang Guosheng, the propaganda chief sitting on the side, complained quietly.

Zhu Yongquan seemed to be sitting lazily on the recliner, in fact, he was extremely nervous in his heart, he hadn't slept for two days and two nights, and he said with a smile: "Brother Yuanjie." You still don't understand what Xiu Shuai means. ”

"What's the explanation?" Chang Guosheng said, "After the signing of the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty, the margin has been demarcated. China's additional 2.7 million square kilometers of land has already attracted the attention of the world, so why should we fight in the Western Regions? There are other ways to deal a head-on blow to Soviet Russia, such as aiding the Japanese Siberian Army and provoking the Soviet-Japanese war. ”

Zhu Yongquan smiled: "Are you really willing to call out the territory when Soviet Russia?" Are you really not going to tear up the treaty when they are? If only the Russians could keep their promises. That bitch can say she's a virgin every day. This battle must be fought. And you must take the initiative to fight, hurt the Russians, and fight the Russians. Let the Russians remember that they can take what we give them, and what we don't give them, they don't even think about it -- these are the exact words of Xiushuai. ”

Ren Yuanxing raised his head on the side, the tension of many days made him look slightly tired, and he smiled slightly: "Yuan Jie." Let's wish the chief of staff is really a roundworm in Xiushuai's stomach, and Xiushuai's mind was accurately guessed by him. ”

Chang Guosheng said with emotion: "Keep fighting like this." I always felt that just teaching them a lesson was a bit uneconomical. This war knocked out tens of millions of defense budgets just to teach them a lesson. ”

Ren Yuanxing couldn't help but smile and said: "My propaganda chief, you are inevitably too stingy, it is not too much to teach the Russians a lesson, it only costs tens of millions, if they are allowed to rise up, I am afraid that it is not a problem that money can solve, I don't know how much territory China will take, how much money, how many lives." The most important thing is that the situation of the country's hard rise may be broken by the waist. Fighting with a polar bear will cripple him, so he will not dare to cause trouble in our territory. ”

On the afternoon of May 17, Wang Jiejun's division of the 3rd Division, which had been waiting for the Soviet army for a long time, came into contact with the Central Asian cluster attack force led by Melnikov, the first political commissar of the Soviet army. Since the Chinese side had long grasped the Soviet army's plan of action, this ostensibly dominant force actually consisted of three divisions and 30,000 troops, including 12,000 cavalry troops and 18,000 infantry. Wang Jiejun carefully chose the ambush site, he chose to be in the desert, the soft terrain of the desert can effectively limit the breakthrough of the opponent's cavalry troops, for which Wang Jiejun carefully chosen, just waiting for the Soviet army to set. After seizing the commanding heights, the 3rd Division surrounded and attacked Melnikov's troops. And Melnikov was qualified as a commissar, and as a commander - how could a civilian who was only at the highest level of the Mine Supervision Committee command the army?

After the ambush began, except for a dozen bombers who remained in the Kyzyl fortress to assist the Yellow Dragon Army, the rest of the bombers were all transferred to the Ares salt marsh area closer to the base camp to assist the 3rd Division, which also caused great trouble to the Soviet army. But because it was afternoon, the Chinese bombers reluctantly returned to the Longcheng base after only two rounds of bombs.

Unlike Postshev's stubbornness, Melnikov did not give command when he did not know how to command, and at this time he handed over the command to the commander of the 24th Division of the Simbirsk Iron Army, Abeleschia. And the 44-year-old general has been on the battlefield for a long time, he even served in the Russo-Japanese War when he was twenty years old, and his twenty-four years of military career gave him machine gun prediction and battlefield experience.

Ableschia quickly made a judgment and used two cavalry divisions to break through on the left and right flanks, and the infantry division stayed in place to attract the grappling squadron, and the two cavalry divisions only needed any unit to detour behind the squadron, and the squadron would be given a annihilating blow.

The Kazakh Separate Cavalry Division and the Cossack Far Eastern Cavalry Division of the Central Route of Soviet Russia immediately carried out the order without hesitation, and the commanders of the two cavalry divisions even personally led the departure.

In order to increase the mobility of the cavalry troops, they even left all the baggage artillery and other guns in place, and the 24th Division of the Simbirsk Iron Army and two cavalry divisions left behind the troops with a total of 18,000 troops to defend on the spot.

The Soviet forward troops desperately defended, and the rear troops immediately dug trenches one after another, and the Soviet cavalry artillery also began to return fire. As a decoy to attract the squadron, as the ace unit of the Soviet Army, the combat capability of the 24th Division of the Simbirsk Iron Army should not be underestimated.

After the Soviet cavalry began to break through left and right, Wang Jiejun frowned, although the role of the enemy's cavalry in the desert was much smaller, but the cavalry was a mobile class after all, and it would be really bad if they were surrounded behind his back. But when he compared the strength of the two sides, he underestimated the mobility and determination of the Soviet cavalry, which had forced a hole in the Chinese defensive position against the bullets of the Chinese. Their cavalry finally broke out at the cost of 2,000 dead.

Wang Jiejun had to instantly judge whether to eat the besieged Soviet infantry or the fleeing cavalry, seeing that the time was already late, the night was coming, and it was very likely that he would run away if he pursued the enemy cavalry, so he decided to eat the besieged Soviet army first.

Wang Jiejun ordered the army to tighten its pockets, but ordered the Ninth Cavalry Brigade to pursue and follow behind the Soviet cavalry, and wantonly harass the pursuing enemy cavalry, so that it could not easily go around and attack the belly and back of our army, so that he could clean up the 24th Division of the Soviet Simbirsk Iron Army.

The breakthrough Soviet Kazakh Independent Cavalry Division and Cossack Far Eastern Cavalry Division did not expect the Ninth Cavalry Brigade of the Chinese Defense Forces to be so difficult, Hou Ruibing's troops only followed behind the Soviet army's buttocks, using machine guns and horse guns to constantly harass the Soviet cavalry, and the cavalry of the Soviet army could not turn around. The Chinese pressed too hard, and this group of Chinese horses and horses are skillful in warfare, and they seem to be the most elite cavalry in China, they carry knives in one hand and guns in the other, the guns are accurate, the knives are skillful, the horses are controlled by a pair of legs, and the men and horses are one, just behind the ass of the Soviet Russian cavalry. The Soviet cavalry tried to stop and rein in the battle several times, but once they stopped, they were either killed by the Chinese fast guns or cut off their heads by the Chinese cavalry who swept at high speed.

"Bastard, the head of the Chinese cavalry is also a veteran." Valisi, commander of the Cossack Far Eastern Cavalry Division, shouted, "It is absolutely not okay to be pursued by them like this, we have to change it." ”

The Russian cavalry also knew that in this way they would become rabbits in front of the tiger, and sooner or later they would be eaten up, and Valisi they immediately ordered to disperse, the Kazakh separate cavalry division to the north, the Cossack Far Eastern cavalry division to the south, one south and one north separated, and then went around in a circle to prepare to deal with the Chinese infantry.

Seeing this, Hou Ruibing immediately ordered the deputy brigade commander to lead the 22nd Cavalry Regiment and the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 23rd Cavalry Regiment to pursue the Cossack Far Eastern Cavalry Division, and he led the 3rd Battalion of the 23rd Cavalry Regiment, the 24th Cavalry Regiment, the Cavalry Reconnaissance Company, and the Cavalry Guard Company to pursue the Kazakh Independent Cavalry Division. The two sides staged a good scene of pursuit and counter-pursuit in the desert, with guns and knives on both sides, and thrilling cavalry battles on horseback.
