The cavalry regiment that went to Hongluo was all Cossacks, and the regiment leader was Lieutenant Colonel Xia Boyang, who was used to fighting.After receiving the order, he immediately led the whole regiment towards the railway.Because the armored train is covered with iron armor, although the train is powerful, the speed cannot be too fast.It was precisely because the speed of the armored train could not be raised that the cavalry regiment that was galloping at a gallop was able to catch up gradually.

"The Raksha people are catching up. Do you want to launch an attack?" A lookout asked Abu Chaba, who was the commander-in-chief of the operation, using the wired phone in the car.

Abu Chaba looked at the battalion commander next to him and asked, "How far are we from Yekaterinburg?"

"About five kilometers." The battalion commander replied.

Abu Chaba nodded and said: "Very good, start to fight back immediately, we will persist until Yekaterinburg."

After receiving the order from Abu Chaba, the hemispherical turret above the iron-clad carriage at the rear of the train turned, and the dual 37mm cannon installed on it lowered the muzzle and aimed at the rushing red turret. Luo cavalry.

"Fire." Seeing that the opponent lowered the muzzle, Xia Boyang immediately ordered the soldiers to shoot on the horse.Dense bullets hit the armored train. Although the accuracy was not high, but the car body was too large, many bullets still hit it.

There was a pleasant tinkling sound, it was the sound of bullets hitting the armor of the car body and being bounced back.The firepower of the Hongluo cavalry is very dense, but it is difficult to shake the armored train with thick skin and thick flesh.Soon the counterattack of the West Army began, and the dense rapid-fire artillery shells splashed towards the cavalry at a rate of two rounds per second.

Small-caliber artillery shells landed one after another, setting off smoke columns one after another, splashing the mud from the explosion on the bodies of the cavalrymen, and the scattered shrapnel killed them.

Seeing the ferocious firepower of the opponent, Xia Boyang immediately ordered the cavalry to divide into two teams and attack the armored train from the east and west wings.The machine turret rotated slowly, chasing the fast cavalry target, but no matter how flexible the turret was, it could only attack the Hong Luo cavalry on one side, and could not take care of the other side.

Xia Boyang shouted, he waved the saber in his hand, and led the cavalry gradually approaching the train carriage.At this time, small windows suddenly opened on the sides of the train carriage, and the muzzles of machine guns or rifles protruded.

"Quickly disperse." Before Xia Boyang could finish his sentence, gunshots rang out in the carriage, bullets rained down again, and the Hongluo cavalry fell to the ground one after another.Some Red Luo cavalry tried to get close to attack the carriage with grenades, but the soldiers inside the carriage focused on them, and those people were shot dead before they approached.

The armored train was fully fired, and the Hong Luo cavalry fell down one after another, and the scene was chaotic.As the shouts moved from far to near, a cavalry team appeared on the distant horizon again, it was the arrival of Hong Luo's cavalry reinforcements.Thousands of cavalry improvised from various uprising troops rushed towards the armored train, whistling and wielding sabers.

"There are more and more Rakshasa people." The battalion commander said to Abu Chaba.

"It doesn't matter, we will arrive in Yekaterinburg soon." Abu Chaba smiled slightly.

Abu Chaba was right. Before the reinforcements of the Hongluo cavalry could catch up, a cavalry unit rushed out from the direction of Yekaterinburg.The cavalry of the West Army is well equipped and has high morale, which is in stark contrast to the beggar-like Hongluo cavalry on the opposite side.Seeing the opponent's brigade of cavalry appear, the Hongluo cavalry quickly stopped their pursuit and watched the armored train drive into Yekaterinburg.

"Who are you, why are you blocking our way?" Xia Boyang stepped forward more than ten meters and shouted at the cavalry team of the West Army.

In the cavalry team of the West Special Army, a lieutenant colonel came out on horseback slowly, and didn't stop until about ten meters in front of Xia Boyang. "Who are you and why are you invading our territory?" Although the lieutenant colonel was from Hualan, he was extremely proficient in speaking Rakshasa.

"Your land?" Xia Boyang frowned: "This is our land, when did it become yours?"

"We just signed a contract with your country a few months ago. According to the content of the contract, the Ural Mountains and the places within ten kilometers east of the Ural River are our territory, and your country is not allowed to garrison troops within [-] kilometers of our country. .Now that your cavalry team has stepped into our territory, you need to explain." The lieutenant colonel said with a smile.

"That is a treaty signed by the decadent bourgeois government, we will not recognize it." Xia Bo roared angrily.

"May I ask what your job is?" the lieutenant colonel asked with a smile.

"I am Lieutenant Colonel Xia Boyang, Commander of the Ufa First Cavalry Regiment of the Red Raksha State." Xia Boyang said.

The lieutenant colonel shook his head: "How can you, a small lieutenant colonel, have the right to decide on major national affairs? Don't you have people in your country?" The lieutenant colonel's words made Xia Boyang speechless. It is impossible to determine the direction of the country.As for whether the country recognized the treaty, it was impossible for him to know. Now is not the time to worry about where the national border is. The most important thing is to bring back Emperor Luocha and his family.

Xia Boyang said: "With regard to national borders and treaties, I really have no right to inquire. However, there were important political prisoners of our country on the train just now. I hope your country will return us immediately."

"I'm sorry, he has already entered our country's territory, as long as he abides by our country's laws. If he has committed any major crimes and needs to be extradited to your country, that is also a matter for the diplomatic department and has nothing to do with you." With an official accent, he kept saying that he acted according to the rules.

"Those prisoners are very important to our country, you must hand them over to us immediately." Xia Boyang's tone was very tough.

The smile on the face of the lieutenant colonel of the West Army disappeared instantly: "I can understand your rudeness, because all the Rakshas I know are like this. But this matter is a negotiation between the two governments , It’s not something you and I can execute. It’s impossible for us to return the prisoner you want.”

Chapter 661 A Collision of Courage

"If you refuse to return it, we will take necessary measures." Xia Boyang was also anxious, and immediately threatened by gritting his teeth.

"Then please go ahead, but I want to warn you that your team has now entered the border of our country. If you take any more drastic actions, we will regard it as a declaration of war on our country, and your country will be responsible for all developments in the future Don't say it was unpredictable." After speaking, the lieutenant colonel stopped talking to Xia Boyang, and returned to the main formation in a circle.

Xia Boyang had no choice but to turn around and come back. He ran into Budyonny, the cavalry commander who had just arrived.Seeing Xia Boyang's return, Budyonny asked, "What happened? Did they return the Raksha Emperor's family?"

"No." Xia Boyang shook his head, and told the story of his negotiation with the lieutenant colonel just now, which made Budyonny's head burst out with veins.

"Hmph, how dare you use the contracts signed by those bastards of the Provisional Government as an excuse. We Hongluo don't pay attention to those useless contracts. Since they refuse to hand over people, let them hand them over." Budyonny flicked his cloak and pulled it out. He raised his own saber: "Boys, I cheered you up and followed me to attack." Budyonny gave an order, and the Hongluo cavalry whistled and began to urge their horses to move forward slowly towards the front line of the West Army .

"It seems that these guys don't know people." Riding on a maroon horse, Liu Hongkui took the reins and smiled slightly at the dusty distance.He also pulled out his saber and shouted: "Brothers, those Raksha people don't know how powerful we are, teach them a good lesson."

"Okay." Many Xiongnu and Hualan cavalrymen drew out their sabers and shouted loudly.Those war horses seemed to feel the excitement of their masters too, snorting and pawing their front hooves, as if they were going to rush out at any time.

"The artillery fires." Liu Hongkui waved his saber, and the 24 mountain cannons that had been set up in the rear opened fire one after another, and the shrapnel fell on the Hongluo cavalry team one after another.The steel balls fired in all directions were so powerful that they easily penetrated the charging Hong Luo cavalry.Every time a shell exploded, a range of more than ten meters would be emptied, and Budyonny was shocked to see it.

"Speed ​​up, go." Xia Boyang, who was rushing to the front at this time, showed his composure. He knew that the range of the opponent's artillery was limited. As long as he rushed through this section of the road, the opponent's artillery would lose its effect.Hearing Xia Boyang's order, the cavalry beside him sped up one after another, including all the cavalry speeding up.

"Charge." Liu Hongkui rushed up with the cavalry division with a wave of the saber in his hand.The cavalry on both sides began to speed up, and they had to adjust the state of the horse to the best when the two sides were engaged in battle.

Looking at the oncoming Hongluo cavalry, Liu Hongkui showed a smile: "All those with submachine guns come to the front and prepare to shoot." Those with submachine guns are the squad leaders. When they heard the order from the division commander, they all sped up. The horse speeded up and switched to the front of the formation.

Liu Hongkui saw that the distance was almost the same. He gave an order, and all the submachine guns in the front row fired intensively.A drum was fired, and the Hong Luo cavalry fell again.When the cavalry of both sides came into contact, there were only more than 8000 Hongluo cavalry, but only more than 6000 were left.

The cavalry from both sides passed by each other. Between the flashes and flints, the clever cavalry stretched out their sabers and left some marks on the opponent's body.The cavalry of both sides stood together, holding their sabers at the same time and cutting at each other. The Red Luo army soon discovered that their sabers were not as flexible as their opponents because of their weight, and their sabers were not as hard as their opponents', so they suffered a lot in fighting.

However, the worst was yet to come. When the West Army cavalry took out their pistols and fired at the enemy in front of them, it was the first time that the Red Luo cavalry felt this 'despicable' style of play.Now the Xiongnu cavalry also gave up their original stubbornness and skillfully used the tactics designed by Zhao Shouhong.

These Hongluo cavalry were all from Ukraine, and it was the first time they had come into contact with an enemy who fought in such a cavalry battle, and they suffered a big loss as soon as they fought against each other.The Hong Luo cavalry was originally small, and under such a multi-layered attack, they quickly retreated.Liu Hongkui didn't pursue them either, and returned to the city after cleaning the battlefield.

At this time in Yekaterinburg, Emperor Luocha's family had already been invited off the armored train, and they were arranged into the best hotel in the area.In order to ensure the safety of Emperor Luocha's family, the entire hotel was booked, and there were people standing guard outside the hotel day and night to protect their safety.

Nicholas II finally felt relieved, but he didn't understand why the army, which had fought fiercely with him a few months ago, would turn to rescue him now.The door was quickly opened, and a middle-aged man in a suit and a young major general in military uniform came in.

The middle-aged man walked up to Nicholas II and bowed: "Your Majesty, Emperor Luocha, I am Sun Baoqi, Minister of the Western Special Administrative Region of the Hualan Republic of China. On behalf of His Excellency Zhao Shouhong, General Chief of the Western Special Administrative Region, I would like to express my greetings to you. If His Majesty needs anything, just tell us, and we will try our best to satisfy you."

Looking at this kindly-spoken Minister of Li Fan, Nicholas II's brain was a little bit overwhelmed, and he was speechless but unable to utter a word.Queen Alexandra who was next to her quickly answered, "Thank you for your assistance to us, and saved us from being killed by despicable and shameless pariahs. But I'm curious, a few months ago, your two countries were still enemies, Why are you sending someone to rescue us now?"

Sun Baoqi smiled and said: "We are negotiating with the White Eagle State about the possibility of joining the Allied Powers group, which is considered half an ally now. We don't want to see our allies suffer losses before joining the Allied Powers."

"If we borrow troops from your country to restore the country, will you be able to send troops?" Nicholas II said suddenly. The previous battle made him see the excellent combat effectiveness of the Hualan army. If we can use these people to fight, maybe Can kill those rebellious cloth party members.

The young major general bowed and said, "I'm sorry, His Majesty the Rakshasa Emperor. The movement of our army requires the commander-in-chief's autographed order, otherwise it would be impossible to attack."

"This is..." Nicholas II looked at the young major general.

Sun Baoqi smiled slightly: "This is Major General Song Zheyuan, the commander of the No.19 Infantry Division in the Western Special Zone, and is now the commander-in-chief of the Ural Defense Line."

"No.19 Infantry Division?" Nicholas II suddenly asked: "Could it be the infantry division that sticks to Lower Tagil?"

"Yes, that army is under my command." Song Zheyuan nodded with a smile, but there was no arrogance in his words.

Chapter 662 Red Luo Negotiations

His answer surprised the Luocha Emperor's family. It turned out that the iron army that stood firm in Lower Tagil had become famous even among the Luocha army.Now in the Rakshasa army, this general who held the line of defense with 20 people and blocked [-] troops for ten days has been privately called the God of War.

"Nice to meet you, I didn't expect the leader of that iron army to be so young." Nicholas II stepped forward to shake hands with him in surprise.

"It's nothing. In the West Army, there are many officers who are younger and more capable than me. I am not outstanding." Song Zheyuan said, what he said was not polite at all, and now the West Army can be called a star shine.Zhu Daizhen, Yang Sen, Wu Yuzhang, Gao Yuhan, and Xiong Chengji are all the same age as him, while Liu Bozhao, Zhang Yunfeng, and Zhou Jianping are a few years younger than him.

Although what Song Zheyuan said was true, in the eyes of Nicholas II's family, he became humble and old-fashioned.Sun Baoqi, Song Zheyuan and Nicholas II talked with the queen for a while. Sun Baoqi promised to make them live very comfortably, and Song Zheyuan said that he would directly report to Zhao Shouhong the request of the Raksha Kingdom for help from the special zone.
