Chapter 599 The arrival of two cavalry divisions!
In the end, An Kequ, the supreme commander, stood up, and the military headquarters left one. The 52nd Division and the 53rd Division each assigned two. As for the 51st Division, they would stay cool. Of course, when the battle is over, Commander-in-Chief An will apply for equipment from above, and he will definitely treat his three divisions equally. Zhao Shang, the commander of the 51st Division, reluctantly accepted Ankequ's proposal and patted his buttocks to continue his siege work.
The other two division commanders stayed and muttered with the staff officers who specialized in conspiracy and tricks. After running excitedly to receive the equipment with a silvery smile, they would immediately set out and rush to their army station in order to carry out this complete annihilation of Lao Maozi. Operation plan.
Sayan Mountains, divided into east and west, is the boundary mountain between the Tangnu Wuliang Sea and Siberia, and the northern edge of the Mongolian Plateau. The East Sayan Mountains are located in the mountains of southern Siberia, Russia. Northwest-southeast direction. From the left bank of the middle reaches of the Yenisei River in the west to the southern end of Lake Baikal in the east, straight to the Mongolian border. More than 2,000 miles long, there are even glaciers at its height.
At this moment, in the slow northwest of the East Sayanling Mountains, the surface is mainly a gentle slope of coarse sand and gravel, which is covered by the smoke and dust all over the sky. You can faintly see the intersection of the smoke and dust all over the horizon. It is a dark ridge, as if there is a group of extremely large number of wild animals on the way. Medium.
Gradually, getting closer and closer, the sound of sand and gravel friction, which was only faintly audible, turned into a rumble of hoofs. What kind of wild animal was it? It was clearly thousands of cavalry. In the vanguard of the cavalry, a flag flying high, showed their identity, the cavalry of the Chinese Empire.
"Keep the team and keep moving forward. With more than ten miles left, we can leave the damn Gobi Plateau and reach the grassland area." From time to time, someone is shouting loudly, as if encouraging the cavalry who are moving forward in silence.
"Brother Wu, where are we going? It is at least thousands of miles away from our hometown, no, at least nearly two thousand miles away. A cavalryman raised his head, and the rank sign on the steel helmet dyed gray and yellow by the dust was almost not clearly seen.
And his strong and strong body, the thin eyes hidden in his slightly curly beard, and the Mongolian machete hanging around his waist all showed the identity of the cavalry, a Mongolian.
--------------------
His name is Chi Na, which means wolf in the original Mongolian. He is a famous warrior of the Khalka Right Banner of the Ulanqab League. At the same time, he is also one of the cavalrymen who led the rescue of the capital with the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner.
It was in that battle that he understood that whether it was the glory of the Mongols or the strength of the Qing Dynasty, they were all in front of the terrible heavy machine gun that could spit out the tongue of fire without stopping, all turned into dust.
Although he was lucky to escape the doom of being sifted by a heavy machine gun in a battle, he still became a prisoner of shame on the way to escape.
But now, he believes that it is lucky and the blessing of Immortals to survive and become an excellent and proud cavalry of the Chinese Empire.
He can have his own home like a free man, instead of being a slave to the Mongolian nobleman. Just three months ago, through the application, he got a holiday, married his wife Saren Gaowa, who was as beautiful as the moon, and established his own home and owned himself. The cattle and sheep no longer need to be recruited by those Mongolian nobles. Yes, he is a free citizen among the Mongols. This is the new status obtained by many Mongolians who joined the cavalry of the Chinese Empire with him.
They are no longer slaves of the nobles, and they don't need to pay tribute to those nobles. Similarly, their property belongs to them personally. Cut wool, pressed cheese, and fur can be directly exchanged for the daily necessities they need through trade.
All this originated from the capture of that day, and now, Wu Tiezhu, the cavalry company commander surnamed Wu beside him, is the enemy who captured him at the beginning, but now in the eyes of Chi Na, he is his greatest benefactor.
"If you ask so many questions about what to do, just follow. If the top wants to let us know, it will naturally tell us, but I think that if we let our two cavalry divisions go out, I'm afraid we will have to do a big thing." Wu Tiezhu licked his already blistered lips and looked up at the sky. It's his grandmother's. I really hope I can see the river in a while and drink water happily.
"The company commander, don't forget that there are regulations in military discipline. It is strictly forbidden for people to drink together. Don't just take pleasure and violate military discipline. At that time, those gendarmes will come to you. Don't blame me for not reminding you." Next to him, even the instructor laughed.
"All right, I'm about to memorize these military disciplines. I don't need you to talk more." Wu Tiezhu was not angry.
"You think I want to tell you that this is to prevent epidemics from appearing in the army. If there is a large-scale non-combat reduction, the responsibility will be great."
Just as these cavalry slowly walked forward with their horses, the reconnaissance battalion in front of them had already sounded the horn, and the desolate and distant horn sounded so clear on the desolate Gobi Desert. Almost at the same time, more than 20,000 cavalry strangled the reels at the same time.
"It should be the people sent by the Northeast Field Army to pick us up." After rushing to a small slope nearby and seeing the clothes and flags of the people through the telescope, Wu Peng, the commander of the First Cavalry Division, breathed a sigh of relief: "tell them and lift the alarm."
"Report General, Liang Guang, the commander of the cavalry reconnaissance company of the 51st Special Reconnaissance Battalion Division of the Northeast Field Army, salutes you. On the order of our Northeast Field Army, our cavalry reconnaissance company is here waiting for your arrival.
"Gift in return!" Wu Peng returned a military salute to the cavalry company commander and asked with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, General, cross the grassland Gobi junction and go forward seven miles, which is the Oka River. There, we have prepared a simple camp for your ministry to rest." The young company commander stood up and answered with his head held high. He quickly took out a document from a leather bag on his body and handed it to the cavalry division commander with both hands. This is what our commander gave to the general after we met your department.
After Wu Peng opened it, he narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the content of the document. With a faintly excited smile on Wu Peng's face.
--------------------
The content of the document is very simple. After arriving at the Oka River, the first and second divisions of the cavalry are required to set out along the Oka River before July 19, that is, one day later. They must arrive at the Jimabing Station area within two days to annihilate all the Russian troops in the area. After that, they will immediately cross the road and rush east on the 20th. In the early morning of the day, he arrived at the Camajo Pass on the west of the Pianovo Station, and cooperated with the two divisions of the Northeast Field Army to fight a beautiful siege and anniper. He must not let go of an old hairy soldier.
As for the Russian soldiers stationed in the rear, they were handed over to the reading brigade that had already moved to the Northeast Field Army.
"It's okay, it's finally too late. Company commander Liang, hurry up and lead the way. The first brother has been tired for almost two months. It's time to take a break first and refresh yourself on the road!" Wu Peng handed the document to the staff behind him with a happy face. He was very happy. Yes, since he received the military order from His Majesty, he crossed the whole Mongolian plateau from the North China Plain for more than a month and arrived here. He really made people a little tired. However, as soon as he saw it, he had just arrived. There must be a big battle to fight in the place, which is really refreshing.
"Can you be sure?" His face was white and the wrinkles on his face were like a dry pond. A pair of pale blue eyes full of blood, which were full of fatigue, reached out and took care of his silver-white hair and looked at Colonel Kumach, a Cossack cavalry who was full of dust.
"Yes, Marshal, I can guarantee that the Pianovo military station has gathered at least 10,000 oriental troops, and a defense line is being set up there. It seems to prevent us from going to Erkou City." Colonel Kumach gathered his upper legs and replied loudly, and his thick beard almost completely covered his cheeks.
"Is it 10,000 or more than 10,000? My colonel, I need more detailed data. Rumentev is a very cautious general, but at the same time, he is also adventurous. However, the premise of the adventure is that the opponent shows a flaw that is enough to make him take risks, otherwise, he will be more conservative than anyone else.
"At least more than 13,000 people, because the other party is very vigilant, we can't get too close to them, but one thing is certain that our enemy has no cavalry, only a small number of scouts. Although they are very brave, the number is too small, and there is no way to pose any threat to our Cossacks. "." As a proud Cossack cavalry, Kumach seemed very confident in his eyesight.
"It seems that these Orientals already know our intention. However, Colonel Kumach, can you tell me about the weapons they use? Is it a big knife and spear, or has it completely used firearms like our Western world? Rumentsev asked quite carefully, and he couldn't even wait for Kumach to explain whether the enemy's leg hairs were thick.
Of course, this is just an exaggeration, but he still captured a lot of information from Colonel Kumach's answer, which made Marshal Rumentev, who knew almost nothing about his enemies, feel a little relieved.
