    There was a loud noise, and the raised dust scattered everywhere like a goddess scattering flowers, falling on the shoulders and heads of the survivors.  If you look carefully, the dust is clearly mixed with dense traces of blood, and you can't tell whether it's blood seeping into the soil or soil and blood mixed together.

    This shot took the lives of at least thirty people and more than five horses.  More importantly, the commander of the "Prairie Eagle" Cavalry Regiment, who was ordered to direct traffic, was also hit by a piece of shrapnel in his neck and died on the spot.  Those were loyal and brave subordinates who had been with Zulexin for many years, and they were lost in the trading city without any explanation!

    The artillery of the People's Army, which was victorious, discovered the good method of "burst firing", and began to consciously turn the muzzle to the densely populated areas.  Originally, the area around the trading city was relatively flat, but due to man-made ditching and the random placement of mounds of earth and stones, this area has become a nightmare for the cavalry: it is impossible to gallop on horseback, and the area is small, so the advantage of the cavalry is almost zero.  Thousands of people put together, even the poorest gunner can always knock down a few people with one cannonball.

    Zulexin, who was experienced in fighting, quickly discovered this problem and immediately issued an order.  We have to admire the well-trained and good command system of the Cossack cavalry. Even on this battlefield under heavy artillery fire, his instructions can be quickly executed.

    They quickly dispersed their formations, using only a small number of "cannon fodder" troops to advance forward in a circuitous manner, while the main force spread out far away to supplement them at any time.  At this distance, rifles couldn't hit, and artillery fire was too wasteful, so when the People's Army artillery went silent, they were already approaching the city.

    The reason why the cannon is mute is Li Du's intention.  After a burst of rapid fire just now, the artillery has achieved brilliant results, and it will have little effect against the galloping cavalry.  The limited artillery shells should be used when they are more useful. Anyway, he gave a perfect answer to this phase of the combat mission.

    Without the cavalry and artillery, the power of the Asian cavalry division will be greatly reduced, especially in siege.  No matter how short the trading city is, cavalry cannot leap up the city wall; no matter how weak the wall of the trading city is, it cannot be broken through by the flesh and blood of horses.  The cavalry of a single type and the sparse crowds make it easier for the People's Army infantry to take advantage of it and defend against danger.  Let's save this cannon for use when the enemy attacks the city on a large scale.

    At this time, we can see the advantage of resisting the city and defending it.  Although the trading city can only be regarded as a mound in the strict sense in the eyes of the Central Plains people, it is still an insurmountable chasm for the cavalry.  The infantry of the People's Army hid behind the stacks and in the holes of the wall, and exchanged fire with the White Russian cavalry, but they took advantage of it - the bullets from the other side could hit the earth wall with a rustling sound, and also hit the earth with a rustling sound, but it was difficult to do so.  Shooting in the back, after all, they were shooting aimlessly. Motorized walking would have tested the rider's equestrian skills and marksmanship; on the contrary, the People's Army infantry could aim calmly.  At this time, the People's Army with a small number of people showed an advantage over its large number of people here.

    Fixed shooting is obviously not good for the Belarusian army, so they automatically switch to mobile shooting.  The first group of cavalry fired their guns while marching, and then immediately retreated from the battlefield. The cavalry following them repeated the actions of the previous group.  However, amid the seemingly orderly defense changes and measured advances and retreats, there seemed to be a tragic feeling, because people kept falling off their horses.  The war horse that lost its master screamed helplessly and followed the tide of horses helplessly.

    The intensity of the battle is obvious, because with each round of cavalry team changes, Zulexin can always hear the people below reporting how many soldiers have been lost.  Even in the field, he could clearly see that many returning horses were completely empty. Some of the originally vigorous knights fell under the city, and some died on the way back.

    The People's Army opposite is a powerful force!

    He took a breath and rubbed his hands uneasily.  Although the Buying and Selling City is close at hand and the city walls are short, the road ahead will still be difficult for the cavalry troops who have lost their siege weapons and artillery.  Moreover, there was a huge hidden worry that the People's Army reinforcements from Kulun had not shown any movement for a long time. This was originally a good thing, but it made him more and more uneasy.

    No reason!  Buying City and Kyaktu are the choke points between China and Russia, and they are not far from Kulun. With the Chinese young marshal's vengeful character, it is impossible to just let it go.  Moreover, there is currently no war in China, and the Chinese are capable of mobilizing in this regard.

    Indeed, precisely because the city is located on the only highway north of Kulun, and there is a direct highway to Beijing via Kulun, if this transportation line can be firmly controlled by China, Tangnu Ulianghai will  The stability of the region, coupled with the obedience of Hulunbuir in the east, is equivalent to stabilizing the entire northern border of China.  If the Japanese had not controlled Manchuria and stirred up trouble there, there would have been no white bandits making trouble at all.The white bandits who were supplied with supplies starved to death.

    General Wen Ganlun, who led the main force at the rear, thought the same way.  As soon as he reported on the front line that the battle to attack the Trading City was extremely difficult, he knew that he was in trouble this time.  His original plan was to just "borrow" the road, make a surprise attack on the small places of Buying and selling cities and Kyaktu, and then directly sweep the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Far East garrison. He didn't pay attention to the Chinese at all.  Unexpectedly, he was at a disadvantage right out of the gate. His mobility was not able to be used, and he was trapped here before he could see his true master.

    Without cannons, it would be difficult to capture the city, and with a series of reinforcements coming from south to east, the originally planned assault operation turned into a stalemate, which was no longer his strength.  The People's Army had such a large formation outside the city. His cavalry was not suitable for fighting in the narrow streets of the city, and God knows what kind of fortifications they had done in the city!

    From early morning to afternoon, a precious day had been wasted, and Wen Ganlun did not want to waste any more energy on this small town.  Judging from the tenacious fighting style and tactical level of the soldiers on the opposite side, this is undoubtedly a powerful force. Even if they win in battle, it will be a tragic victory.  He decided to give up the continued use of troops against the trading city, thus having greater room for maneuver strategically.

    This decision is undoubtedly the most appropriate at this time and place. Even though Zuliexin was unwilling to do so, he faithfully implemented the decision.  He sent a cavalry regiment to circle far east and south of the city, encircling it without fighting as a containment. He personally led the main force of the "Prairie Eagle" cavalry regiment to kill the Russian border first, where their old enemy was  .

    The Russian defenders of Kyakhta had actually heard the roar of artillery and gunfire like fried beans coming from China, but they had no intention of rescuing.  An order came from above: since the Chinese army has sternly rejected the Soviet Union's friendly cross-border "help", then let these arrogant yellow-skinned monkeys bear the power of the White Russian army!  Although the White Russian army is now retreating steadily, in the eyes of the Red Army, even such a defeated army will completely defeat the Chinese army.

    To be honest, the Soviet Russian government is very dissatisfied with the recent series of actions of the Fengcian government headed by Zhang Hanqing.  If it weren't for the powerful enemy Japan on their side, it is still unclear whether they could have endured the occupation of Mokuowei, Hulunbuir, etc. by the Feng army, and it was still unclear whether they could recover Mongolia forcefully.  A small loss in the Far East is fine, but Mongolia is the strategic depth of its Siberian heartland and an important lifeline connecting its far-flung Far East and the center of Europe. Its loss has uncovered the legacy of Russia¡¯s decades of cultivation here.  A layer of soil.

    Mongolia has changed through the powerful means of the People's Party. If a gap is not opened here as soon as possible, once all the pro-Russian forces are disintegrated, there will be no "leading party" at that time, and there will be no suitable reason, then we really have to say goodbye to this place.

    Therefore, when the White Army entered Mongolia, everyone from the Soviet government to the leaders of the Far East was extremely happy.  As long as the People's Army loses or succumbs to pressure, the Chinese government will "ask" the Soviet army to help suppress the bandits.  At that time, we can take this opportunity to enter Mongolia again, and then gradually cultivate agents in the name of suppressing bandits, and restore Russia's influence here.  Anyway, Mongolia is vast and sparsely populated, and the "bandits" are unpredictable, so the Soviet army will legally hide and seek in this area, which is about the same size as the three eastern provinces.

    But the wishful thinking failed.

    Zhang Hanqing bluntly rejected their "good intentions". Although he did not seem to see through their plan, he believed that it was necessary to use his own strength in this battle with the White Russian army.  If you use other people's power to protect your homeland and country, you will be short-handed and look down on others.  There is still an extremely important issue of the Eastern Route that remains unresolved between China and the Soviet Union. Given the appetite of the Soviet Union and Russia, once they regain their strength, they will definitely spend a lot of time on this issue.  He needs to flex his muscles at the right time to set the tone for future negotiations.

    Negotiations in the international community have always followed the "law of the jungle". The strong only respect opponents of equal size.  As long as the Fengtian troops perform at a high level and demonstrate the determination, morale, and ability to powerfully control the country's territory, he is confident that the biggest Sino-Soviet issue that plagued China in the 1920s will be perfectly resolved.  After all, being a neighbor to a strong and friendly China was the direction of the Soviet Union's diplomacy with China in the 1920s and 1930s. When fists failed to get what they wanted, the other side would definitely switch to high-fives as allies.

    In order to show his strength, Zhang Hanqing spent a lot of money and wanted to accomplish all his achievements in one battle.  What Commander Wen Ganlun didn't know was that while the defenders of Buying City were desperately defending, a huge encirclement was quietly forming against him.  No matter whether he can win the Trading City or not, he cannot change this outcome.  Of course, the People's Army successfully defended this small town. In addition to its political significance, it also dealt a fatal blow to the Belarusian army. In addition to morale, there was also a delay in time.

    However, the Asian Cavalry Division, which had no consciousness at all, was using its main force to attack Kyaktu, the neighbor of Buying City, a border town that originally belonged to China.  The latter is cautiously waiting for help from the Chinese government.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??This is a border town that originally belonged to China.  The latter is cautiously waiting for help from the Chinese government.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
