That same night, the Mongol army took advantage of the darkness and launched an attack on the KPA camp. This time, the Mongol army invested more troops, reaching more than 800 men, and attacked the KPA camp from three directions.

However, the KPA camp was not only heavily guarded, but also on the periphery of the camp, there were firepower and lighting points arranged by tanks and armored vehicles, and when the Mongolian cavalry reached a range of several hundred meters, the lights on the tanks and armored vehicles were bright, although it could not be said that it was as bright as day, but it was enough to make it impossible for the Mongolian cavalry to take advantage of the cover of night to break through this last distance.

Then the tanks, armored vehicles on the vehicle machine guns launched a fierce fire on the Mongolian cavalry, because the traces have been exposed, the machine guns to the Mongolian cavalry caused a lot of casualties, and successfully delayed the Mongolian cavalry advance, even if a part of the Mongolian cavalry braved the rain of bullets to rush to the vicinity of the armored vehicle, the machine gunner only used to retract the car, cover the window of the steel plate, the Mongolian cavalry simply has no way to take these steel behemoths, the saber can not cut, the rifle can not shoot through, can only circle around these armored vehicles.

And at this moment, the cavalry of the People's Army also killed out of the camp and launched a counterattack against the Mongolian cavalry, and the Mongolian cavalry was sniped by machine guns, suffered heavy casualties, and morale was even more demoralized.

After dawn, the battlefield was counted, and there were nearly 100 corpses of Mongolian soldiers left, as well as basically the same number of war horse corpses, and in last night's battle, only 6 soldiers of the People's Army were wounded, and none of them were killed, which can be said to have achieved a great victory.

After clearing the battlefield, the KPA continued to march in and out, and on this day, the Mongolian army launched two more attacks on the KPA, each time with a size of about 500 people, but the KPA was tightly guarded, and did not give the Mongolian army a chance at all, and learned to fully rely on armored combat vehicles to resist the attack of the Mongolian cavalry, instead of taking the initiative to meet the battle, as long as 1, The machine-gun fire on 2 armored fighting vehicles was enough to inflict a lot of losses on the Mongols, so in this day's battle, the Mongols lost about 60 more than 60 people, while the KPA lost only 3 people.

As a result, on the third day, the Mongol army did not attack the KPA again. So after a four-day march, Ouyang Longxing led the troops to reach the Dalinor Lake area. After the army was stationed, Ouyang Longxing began to arrange for the terrain to be surveyed and measured, located and laid out the line, and prepared for the construction of the fortress in the future, and on the other hand, he sent reconnaissance personnel to find the location of the Mongol army.

Two days later, the scouts came back to report that they had discovered the Mongol garrison, about 50 kilometers northwest of the KPA camp, and had also drawn a sketch of the Mongol garrison, so that they could get a general view of the layout of the Mongol garrison.

However, in order to get rid of the details of the deployment of the Mongolian army's station, Ouyang Longxing took two warrior cars and drones the next day to personally observe the Mongolian army's station, of course, he didn't need to get close to the Mongolian army's station, just reach a distance of about 10 kilometers and release the drone for aerial shooting.

After a day of observation, Ouyang Longxing also basically knew the deployment of the Mongolian army's garrison, and on the whole, the Mongolian army's garrison was also quite decent, and the basic elements that should be there, such as retaining walls, trenches, guard towers, high points, internal and external bunkers, firepower points, etc., were all set up in general, obviously because the main general lacked enough experience, or according to the layout of the map, he knew it but did not know why. Therefore, it is not difficult to break through such a garrison, not to mention that the People's Army still has 2 tank companies and a total of 30 tanks in the battalion headquarters, but Ouyang Longxing hopes to encircle and annihilate the Mongolian army and annihilate the living forces of the Mongolian forces in one fell swoop, rather than fighting a rout.

So after some thought, Ouyang Longxing sent a telegram to the Jinzhou headquarters, explaining his plan, and asked that the remaining tank company be transferred as well, because in this way he would be able to concentrate all the more than 42 tanks to ensure the encirclement and annihilation of the Mongol army.

But the next day, Ouyang Longxing received a reply from the headquarters, which promised that within 5 days, the remaining tank company would escort the convoy to the station in the Dalinor Lake area, but asked Ouyang Longxing to postpone the encirclement and annihilation of the Mongol army by 10-15 days, at least until the troops that raided Kulen departed.

This is because the command is worried that encircling and annihilating the Mongolian army at this time will startle the snake, after all, Ouyang Longxing's task now is to attract the attention of the Kulen side and create conditions for the assault force to attack the Kulun, and it is best to be able to wipe out the Mongolian high-level in Kulun, so he can fight a large-scale war with the Mongolian army, but he cannot completely defeat the Mongolian army. If the Mongol army is completely annihilated at this time, then the Mongolian high-level leaders on the Kulen side are likely to choose to flee after hearing about it, so that even if the raid on Kulen is successful, it will not be able to collect all the credit.

Although there was no battle with the Mongol army now, the goal of attracting the attention of the Mongol army had basically been achieved, so it was best to wait until the assault force approached Kulen before launching an attack, so that the news of the Mongol army's encirclement and annihilation could not reach Kulen in time, and Kulen still had hope for the Mongol army, and the chances of escaping from Kulen would be reduced by a few points.

The People's Army launched an attack on two fronts at the same time, not only taking Kulen in one fell swoop, but also completely annihilating the Mongolian army, and this battle can lay the foundation for victory. When the body is attacking, the headquarters will notify Ouyang Longxing, and during this time, the fortress can be built first.

After reading the reply from the headquarters, Ouyang Longxing was also a little unhappy in his heart, after all, once the time of the attack is postponed, there are variables, what if the Mongolian army retreats within the postponed time? However, the command of the command cannot be disobeyed, and the command headquarters is considering this war as a whole, which is also excusable, so he can only wait patiently now.

Of course, from the next day, Ouyang Longxing mobilized more personnel and devoted himself to the construction of the fortress. In fact, Ouyang Longxing is no stranger to building fortresses, and during the Jinzhou War, during the battle against Chifeng, fortresses were built along the way to offset the mobility of the Mongol cavalry. However, at that time, the distance of the fortress was close, only about 30 kilometers, and the scale was not large, and the troops stationed there were all company level.

And now the distance between the forts has widened to 200-300 km, this is because of the progress of transportation technology, after all, now East China ** It has entered the age of automobiles, and it is natural to increase the distance of transportation; and the scale of the fortress has also expanded several times, the unilateral length reaches 100-120 meters, and a battalion is stationed in peacetime, and at most it can accommodate a regiment of troops; the height of the wall is also more than 3 meters, and the thickness has reached 4 meters, of course, the structure is the same, mainly piled up with mud and sand bags, but it is reinforced with wooden pillars, and also uses a little cement to do bonding, and now the cement plant in Jinzhou City has been completed and put into operation, which can provide sufficient cement for the construction of the fortress。

Such a fortress is much stronger than the previous ones, and can withstand artillery bombardment of less than 75 mm, after all, the fort built this time is intended for long-term use, not improvised, which is naturally different.

Originally, the People's Army had already begun the preparatory work for the construction of the fortress, but after investing more manpower, the progress was greatly accelerated, and it took only three days to reach the initial scale.

The People's Army sent people to reconnoiter the camp of the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army of course would also send people to reconnoitre, although the People's Army had strict protective measures, but it was impossible to completely prevent it, so soon the news was discovered by the spies of the Mongolian army and reported to the camp.

Of course, the Mongol army does not know it yet, in fact, the KPA can attack at any time and break through its own camp, just waiting for the surprise attack of the Kulen army to act. And now, seeing that the People's Army is building a fortress with great fanfare, it looks like a long-term hold and a protracted war, which has caused a misunderstanding among the commanders of the Mongolian army, because the Mongolian army cannot resist a protracted war, after all, the consumption of 20,000 troops is a huge number.

Mongolia itself is not rich in sugarcane, because it is weapons and ammunition can not be produced by itself, all of them have to rely on Russia to provide, but now Russia's own situation is not very good, can only send a little symbolically, and most of the weapons and ammunition need to be bought by the Kulen side themselves, and the price is not cheap, after all, there are many Russians still counting on these transactions to make a profit, if it were not for the East China ** to Mongolia ** is too extreme, almost all the Mongolian nobles, The leaders were offended, so everyone joined forces, contributed money and profits, and at the same time the Qing court also supported a part, which pulled out more than 20,000 troops, but the war could not last too long, at most it could only last for half a year, and if it continued, the Kulen side would have no money.

The tactics used by the Mongol army were formulated by Russian officers, and the original Russian officers planned to adopt the tactics of clearing the wilderness with strong walls to lead the KPA to the vicinity of Kulen, lengthen the front line of the KPA, and take advantage of the strong mobility of the Mongolian cavalry to scratch and attack the KPA along the way, attack the KPA transport team, and even attack Chifeng, and wait until the KPA is exhausted and the logistics are not available, and then launch an attack, so that the KPA can be defeated in one fell swoop.

However, the top brass of Cullen did not accept this plan, because once the KPA approached Cullen, it would inevitably cause great panic to Cullen, and even hit the prestige of Cullen, which was an unacceptable loss, so the KPA must not be allowed to approach Cullen, but should keep the enemy out of the country, and the farther away from Cullen the battlefield, the better. So in the end, it was decided to set up the camp of the Mongol army in the area of Dalinor Lake, which is close to 1,000 kilometers away from Kulun, so naturally it will not have any impact on Kulen.
