Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Andrew Jeff didn't care about the loss a week ago. In his opinion, the Chinese victory was just a fluke. As a defender, they must have gained a lot.  Now Changchun has assembled an army of 200,000, and there are more than 10,000 Cossack cavalry. As long as the Chinese attack, they will never come back.

    Li Niu came to Princess Mausoleum. He didn't feel excited to be commanding from the rear. He liked to be on the battlefield, listening to the enemy's desperate cries and smelling the smoke of gunpowder in the air.  The front line is where a man should stay.

    "Master Ge is back!" someone shouted.

    "Oh? It's Sancun back." Li Niu said.  After saying that, he walked out of the tent with Zhang Danian and others.

    "How is it? Did you find anything?" Li Niu asked.

    "Let's talk after we go in!"

    Ge Sancun took off his camouflage uniform and said: "The Russian army in Changchun exceeds 200,000, including more than 10,000 cavalry."

    "200,000? And more than 10,000 cavalry?" Zhang Danian frowned, this was inconsistent with the information he had obtained before.  According to previous intelligence, the Russian army in Changchun was only about 80,000 at most. Now it has suddenly increased to 200,000, with more than 10,000 cavalry, and more than 10,000 cavalry. If this was placed in the cold weapon era, it would definitely be a force.  An elite capable of invincibility and invincibility.

    "Well, I heard that reinforcements arrived from Vladivostok two days ago."

    "More than 10,000 cavalry? That's right? This is really more than 10,000 horses!"

    "More than 10,000 cavalry will definitely attack our flanks if we attack. Although we have 40 cavalry killers, it is insufficient to deal with more than 10,000 cavalry, and the mobility of the cavalry killers is simply incomparable.  Mount the cavalry. Once the Russian cavalry attack succeeds, the attack on Changchun will definitely fail," Li Niu said.

    "What about the distribution of Russian infantry?" He Bugong asked.

    Ge Sancun pointed at the map and said: "They are mainly distributed in Xiaoliang Mountain, Datun and Yongchun Town. A large number of fortifications and other fortifications have been built in these three places."

    Zhang Danian asked: "Didn't they dig trenches?"

    "No."

    Li Niu said: "Hey, they don't have shovels even if they want to dig."

    "You can't say that. There are still a lot of hoes in Changchun Hall, and the Russians can force the people to dig trenches. If they don't dig trenches, they probably haven't realized the role of trenches yet." Ge Sancun said.

    "Well, the Russian infantry does not pose much of a threat. The key is how to guard against the more than 10,000 cavalry."

    "The tactics that the young master mentioned before may be useful." He Bugong said.

    "What tactic?"

    "Artillery attack, infantry occupation!"

    "Artillery attack? Infantry occupation? If the enemy's cavalry breaks out, the artillery unit will be doomed." Li Niu said.

    "Hey, division commander, we can change the tactics to artillery attack and infantry cover. We can use artillery to attack and infantry to cover the artillery. We can let the people from Qinjiatun come over and concentrate our forces to attack Datun. If the enemy's cavalry  If we break out, then we have 40 cavalry killers and more than 80,000 infantry. The enemy's cavalry will die if they come out.

    Li Niu¡¯s eyes lit up, yes, attack with artillery, and then the infantry surround the artillery position in a square formation, with platoon tactics, this is really an excellent method!  Anyway, war is all about attrition. Since the young master proposes tactics such as artillery attack and infantry occupation, he will definitely not care about the attrition of war.

    "Okay, okay! Go find Commander Song Qing first, and let's discuss a specific attack plan."

    After Nie Shicheng's troops were transferred to Shengjing, they formed the Wuyi Division with Song Qing's troops. Song Qing was appointed as the division commander, and Nie Shicheng was appointed as the deputy division commander. Although they were division commanders, their military ranks were only brigadier generals.  However, neither of them care about these false claims. Russia invaded Heilongjiang and Jilin, and they just want to regain their territory as soon as possible.

    Song Qing and Nie Shicheng arrived at the tent and asked, "Commander Li, are you planning to launch an attack on Changchun?"

    "That's right!"

    ¡°That¡¯s great, our Wu Yi Master is willing to be the pioneer!¡±

    "Hey! There is no need to charge, we are adopting a new tactic! There are 200,000 Russian troops and 10,000 cavalry in Changchun now. There is no benefit from attacking." Li Niu said.

    "Wha, what? 200,000?! And 10,000 cavalry? Didn't we find out before that there are less than 100,000 Russian troops in the city? How could"

    "Russian reinforcements arrived a few days ago. Andrew Jeff has not attacked us for a long time, probably because he is waiting for the reinforcements to arrive."

    "More than 10,000 cavalry, I'm afraid these are Russian mercenaries, Cossack cavalry." Song Qing knew the composition of the Russian troops quite well. The Russians themselves did not have so many cavalry.In the Far East, there are many Cossack cavalry in the Vladivostok base.

    The Cossack cavalry did not belong to Tsarist Russia. The Tsar only controlled the Cossack cavalry through the Tsar by bribing senior Cossack figures.  In the process of Russia's expansion into Siberia, the Cossacks were Russia's main support.  If artillery attack and infantry occupation were the main tactics used by Qin Ge's army, then cavalry attack and infantry occupation were the main tactics used by the Russians against the Manchus.  Although we have now entered the age of firearms, the main weapons of the cavalry are still broadswords and spears. Although the cavalry is also equipped with rifles, they only fire one shot when they are far away from the enemy, and then change to the broadswords and spears to break into the enemy's formation.  .  Historically, the effective way to deal with cavalry was a phalanx of spears and a musketeer team. The dense firepower network was a nightmare for the cavalry.

    Song Qing was well aware of the power of cavalry, and Wu Yi now had about 2,000 cavalry. These cavalry played an important role in the previous battles to pursue the Russian army.  But now that the enemy has more than 10,000 cavalry, I don't know what method Li Niu and others will use to capture Changchun.

    Nie Shicheng asked: "Whether we can withstand the Russian cavalry is the key to victory or defeat. I wonder what method Commander Li has thought of?"

    "Our method is to attack with artillery. The infantry only needs to surround the artillery position and block the more than 10,000 cavalry." Li Niu said.

    "This is such a waste!" Song Qing said.  In the previous battle, Song Qing felt heartbroken when he saw the shells being fired continuously. If he could do this when fighting the Japanese, the Japanese would have been beaten to the point where they could not find their way back.  But if you do this, let alone whether you can defeat the enemy, you won't be able to hold on!  When Song Qing first learned that 40,000 of Qin Ge's 150,000 troops were logistics troops, he was very puzzled. Now he understands that Qin Ge's war should not be called a war. It is simply a waste of money!
