"Master Tao, Master Tao, Du Lisan sent someone over to deliver a letter, the People's Army has launched an attack on them, and we want to hurry up and send reinforcements. ”

Tao Ke Taohu said in a deep voice: "I know, immediately straighten out the people and prepare to go." As he spoke, he got up from the stone and walked a few steps to his warhorse.

When he was about to get on the horse, he saw a man pulling a horse and came over, saying: "Tao Ke Taohu, I don't think Du Lisan's gang of Han people are not good things, and the Russians and Japanese also have no good intentions, why should we save them? Why don't we take advantage of the emptiness of Jinzhou to attack Jinzhou now, and after taking Jinzhou, we will grab a handful of them in the city, kill all the Han people in the city, and then go back to Mongolia." At that time, we will have money, we can recruit troops again, and we don't have to look at the faces of the Russians to do things. ”

Tao Ke Taohu shook his head and said: "Baiyin Dacheng, you think things are too simple, without the support of the Russians, we will not be able to move an inch at all, and besides, we raised troops to make trouble, and what we opposed was that the Qing court robbed us of our land, but there was no grudge against East China, although this time it was sent by Russia to have to attack Jinzhou, but it is better to kill fewer people, and it is those ordinary people." As he spoke, he pressed his hands the horse's back, and stepped on the horse's back with his legs apart.

Bai Yin shook his head and said: "Tao Ke Taohu, you are too kind-hearted, whether it is East China ** or the Qing court, I think it is all the same, there is no difference, and when East China ** stands firm in the three eastern provinces, the next thing to deal with is our Mongolia." Besides, we have now formed a feud with East China**, what else can we say, in my opinion, it will be completely offended to the end, anyway, the Han people are not a good thing. Then he flew on his horse.

Tao Ke Taohu pulled the reins of the horse with one hand, pulled the front hooves of the horse, and said: "Let's not talk about these things first, let's rush to help Du Lisan first, and then talk about it after this battle." As he spoke, his legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse galloped at a trot.

Baiyin Da Cheng also nodded, rode his horse to catch up with Tao Ke Taohu, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Tao Gu Taohu is 43 years old, medium build, slightly thin, but his eyes are bright, quite a bit of heroism, he was originally a small nobleman in the former banner of the Inner Mongolia Jelimu League Gol Rus, and is said to be the grandson of Genghis Khan's second brother Habtu Hasar. In fact, he still has some assets in his family, and it is not that he can't get by, and there are reasons for the times to rise up against the Qing Dynasty and become a famous bandit who is full of Mongolia.

In the Qing Dynasty, due to the introduction of corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other cash crops from the west, a large area of crops can be planted, which greatly increased grain production, resulting in a large increase in population, coupled with the increasingly serious land annexation, so from the Qianlong period, the internal bankrupt refugees continued to come to the Guanwai Mongolia area to choose land for cultivation. Although the Qing court strictly prohibited this kind of behavior, the Mongolian princes at all levels ignored the ban of the Qing court and reclaimed the banner land to recruit the displaced people for planting, considering that they could increase their land rent and flag salary by absorbing the displaced people.

In modern times, Tsarist Russia began to infiltrate Mongolia, and the Qing court officially implemented the policy of "opening Mongolia to the land and immigrating to the border" in Mongolia in order to consolidate the frontier and alleviate the contradictions between people and land in the interior. The Mongolian princes at all levels saw that it was profitable, so they teamed up with the government to buy the land of their own alliance banner and recruit Han people to cultivate it, while ordinary Mongolians lost their land for generations and fell into an existential crisis. As a result, many people chose to resist by force, and Tao Gu Taohu gathered people to fight back, which happened in this context.

However, although Tauktaohu is quite popular in his hometown and has the support of the people when he rises up against the army, he lacks a long-term plan, does not have a political program that can be used, and does not know how to rely on the people, develop himself, and strengthen the ranks. Therefore, after the Qing court strengthened the encirclement and suppression of him, the situation of Tao Ke Taohu became difficult. At this time, Russia was buying the upper princes and bandit leaders in Mongolia, and actively instigated the so-called **** movement based on armed rebellion.

Although Tauktau also knew that Russia was using himself, first, he really needed weapons and funds, and secondly, Tauktau did not have much sense of belonging to Chinese civilization, and was full of interest in establishing a country with the Mongols as the main body, so he not only accepted Russia's support, but also tended to promote the ****, **** road.

With the funding of Russia, Tauktaohu suddenly increased his strength, recruited troops, and merged with other Mongolian bandit forces such as Baiyin Tusi, Baiyin Dajiao, Yashi, and Danpier, or echoed each other from afar, or joined forces to defeat the Qing army many times and destroy the Bureau of Reclamation. Therefore, the prestige of Taoke Taohu in Mongolia has been greatly enhanced, and he is respected as "Tao Lao" by Mongolian herdsmen.

But Russia's support is not in vain, when needed is to do things for Russia, during the Russo-Japanese War, East China ** war, Russia has recruited the Mongolian army to help in the war, this time Tao Ke Taohu, Baiyin Da Cheng was requisitioned to assist Du Lisan, assault Jinzhou. The Mongol cavalry marched alone along the Daling River and arrived a day early.

At this moment, I saw a sentry Pegasus rushing to Tao Ke Tao Humian and said, "Master Tao, strange cars, strange cars, two strange cars are here." ”

Tao Ke Tao said: "What kind of strange car? nonsense. ”

The sentry said, "Go and see for yourself, you can see it from the embankment." ”

When Tauk Taohu heard this, he immediately took the reins and rode his horse up the embankment, and Baiyin Da Cheng also Cui Ma followed behind him, and the two looked at the embankment, and sure enough, they saw that at a position of about 7 or 800 meters, two square vehicles, colorful and green, although not driven by oxen and horses, were still driving along the avenue, in the direction of the embankment, and behind the body, two clouds of dust were raised.

Bai Yin said, "This is what they call a strange car?"

Tao Ke Taohu nodded and said, "That's probably it, I thought they were telling a lie, but it doesn't seem to be a lie." ”

In the Battle of the Musuo River and the Battle of Manchuria, the People's Army dispatched warrior chariots to participate in the battle, assisting the cavalry units to defeat the Russian cavalry, including a group of Mongolian cavalry.

After the defeat of the Russian army to Chita, the Mongolian cavalry also retreated to the Mongolian steppe, but the warrior car left them with a very deep impression of fear, this strange car can be pulled without cattle and horses, self-propelled driving like flying, and wearing heavy armor, swords and guns are not as good, the momentum is like running to the mountain, the blocker is invincible, there is a fast gun at the top, no need for people to make it, the projectile is like rain, the people and horses are killed, and there is a suspicion of demonic power and so on.

Tao Ke Taohu naturally heard some stories of this kind of strange car, but he didn't believe it at all, there is such a thing, you can walk on your own without a car led by cattle and horses, and East China ** has such a great ability? What kind of demonic tricks will it be? It must be an excuse for its own failure, but now I see that at least the statement that "you can drive without cattle and horses, and drive like flying" is spectrum, but I don't know if other statements are true or false.

At this time, many Mongolian cavalry had already mounted their horses on the river embankment, and they all saw these two warrior chariots.

Bai Yin Da was a little breathless, and said: "I don't think these two strange cars are anything to be afraid of, I led people to rush over and overturned these two strange cars to see what tricks they have." As he spoke, he shook the reins and was about to rush down the embankment.

Tao Ke Tao Hu grabbed him and said, "Don't be impulsive, let others rush up and kill for a while, and see what these two strange cars are so terrible." ”

As he spoke, Tauktau Hu ordered two hundred-man teams to rush down the river embankment and rush towards the two warrior carts. Although there are only more than 200 riders, the horse's hooves are thunderous for a while, and it is also quite powerful. However, the Mongolian cavalry was not equipped with many guns, and most of them still used cold weapons such as spears, scimitars, bows and arrows.

At this time, there were three veteran officers in each of the two warrior cars, two of whom were the driver and machine gunner of the warrior car, or Yang Xun and Zhang Yi, who also rode in a warrior car, on the one hand, responsible for directing the battle, and on the other hand, operating the machine gun in front of the car.

Now the Warrior car is basically used as a light armored car, so a layer of 10 mm steel plate is installed on the body, steel baffles have been added to the windows, and 6 cameras and two periscopes are installed outside the car, so that in the fully enclosed body, you can also drive.

In fact, at this time, the cavalry of the People's Army has been arranged in place, but due to the large number gap between the two sides, the Mongolian cavalry has a total of more than 2,000 people, and the cavalry of the People's Army has only 3 cavalry companies, one of which belongs to Zhang Zuolin's troops, a total of only more than 500 people, although most of the Mongolian cavalry still use cold weapons, but the cavalry is fighting, and the role of the rifle is also greatly weakened, so the people's army basically has no chance of winning in a head-on battle.

But the People's Army has the bonus of two warrior vehicles, which is where the People's Army wins, and the tactics of the People's Army are also very simple, that is, first use two warrior vehicles to disrupt the Mongolian cavalry's position, and then attack by the cavalry to defeat the Mongolian cavalry in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the Mongolian cavalry took the initiative to attack, Yang Xun said on a walkie-talkie: "Now it is only the vanguard of the Mongolian cavalry, and the big army is still behind." ”

Zhang Yi said: "Yes, then don't be busy using the roof machine gun first, just use the front machine gun is enough, and wait until they rush to 200 meters before firing." ”

The front machine gun is 7.62 mm, which is far less powerful than the 12.7 mm machine gun on the roof, but there is an advantage that the roof machine gun does not have, that is, the bullet box can be replaced in the gun, and although the roof machine gun can be remotely shot in the car, it also carries sufficient ammunition, but the bullet box can only be replaced outside the car, and during the battle, it is impossible for them to calmly change the bullet box, so now against the vanguard of the Mongolian cavalry, only the machine gun in front of the car, the bullet of the machine gun on the roof is saved, and it is used to deal with the main force of the Mongolian cavalry behind.
