An hour passed quickly. Chen Jingang looked at his watch and said, "When the time comes, it seems that Mao Zi will not cry when he sees the coffin, so he will attack immediately and give me a hard beating." ”

With Chen Jingang's order, more than 10 tanks opened fire together, and launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the wall of the consulate, although the wall of the consulate was made of bricks and stones, and also considered the needs of the war, but after all, it can not be compared with the regular fortifications, not to mention that the Russian consulate in Kulen was established after the signing of the [Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty], and it has been almost 50 years now, even if the building standards at that time were not bad, it is far behind the development of technology.

More than 10 tanks carried out more than a dozen rounds of shelling of the consulate wall in a row, under such fierce shelling, the wall was suddenly blown to pieces, the Russian soldiers guarding the wall were injured and killed, and in a blink of an eye, the wall defense line completely collapsed, and the tanks led the infantry to slowly advance towards the consulate.

At this time, in the consulate, the Russians were still arguing about whether to compromise or not, but the attack of the People's Army finally made them stop arguing, Bi Jing in the case of the People's Army had already launched an attack, and there was no point in discussing whether to compromise or not, and East China ** really ignored the international convention, which also surprised the Russians in the consulate, because this kind of thing was often done by Russia in the past.

The wall, on which the consulate had placed high hopes, only lasted more than 10 minutes before it collapsed, with shells and bullets whizzing past and shattering the windows and doors of the consulate.

It didn't take long for the tank to break through the broken wall and drive into the consulate, and the soldiers broke into the houses one after another to arrest the personnel in the consulate, and at this time, the Maozi were also honest, and they didn't dare to resist, on the contrary, they were very cooperative, and strongly persuaded the few remaining soldiers to lay down their arms and stop resisting, after all, at this time, there was no point in resisting, but if it angered the People's Army and opened a killing world, it would be a big trouble, after all, it was captured by the People's Army, and it could restore freedom through diplomatic means such as negotiations, but if it was killed by the People's Army here, it would be nothing。

Seeing the overall situation of the battle to attack the consulate, Chen Jingang handed over the remaining task of cleaning up the mess to Qin Zhaoyu, and he rushed to the summer palace to meet the captured Jebtsundamba VIII. Before leaving, Chen Jingang also told Qin Zhaoyu that after occupying the consulate, he must collect all the documents in the consulate, because if evidence of Russia's attempt to support **** and **** can be found from these documents, it will greatly reduce the adverse impact of the People's Army attacking the Russian consulate. Of course, in the consulate, there must be relevant documents.

This also shows once again that Chen Jingang's order to attack the Russian consulate was by no means a spur of the moment or a whim, but a decision made after careful analysis and weighing the pros and cons.

The battle to attack Kulen was not long, less than 2 hours, the People's Army basically controlled the overall situation of Kulen, by noon, all the sporadic resistance had been extinguished by the People's Army, the war was completely over, the People's Army killed a total of 615 Mongolian, Qing and Russian soldiers, captured 924 people, captured 114 Mongolian nobles, 17 Qing ministers in Kulen and their entourage, and 24 Russian consulate personnel in Kulen. The KPA itself suffered only 31 casualties, another 77 wounded.

Although Kulen is not a fortified city, and the KPA still has the effect of a sneak attack, and it is a lack of preparedness on the Kulen side, it is still very rare to capture Kulen at the cost of more than 100 casualties, of course, this is mainly due to the merit of mechanized weapons, after tanks and troop transport armored vehicles participated in the battle, the advantages of the KPA were infinitely expanded, which led to such a low casualty battle result.

In addition, a large amount of materials and horses, cattle and sheep and other livestock were also seized in Kulun, because Kulen was the base of the Mongolian army, and all the materials raised for this war were stored in Kulen, and naturally they also became the trophies of the People's Army.

Three days later, Jebtsundamba VIII, who was captured by the People's Army, re-appeared, gathered all the Mongolian magnates of Kulen, issued a statement, expressed his willingness to break away from the Qing court and return to East China, and demanded that all officials and troops of the Qing court in Mongolia withdraw from Mongolia; and also accused Russia of instigating and supporting the activities of **** and **** for a long time, so it was announced that all relations between Mongolia and Russia would be severed, and all Russian consulates and shops in Mongolia should be closed. The Mongolian magnates of Jebtsundamba VIII also expressed their absolute support for Jebtsundamba VIII's statement, and from today onwards, the entire Mongolian region will be under the rule of East China. Then they signed the declaration document collectively.

It turned out that after the news of Chen Jingang's armed attack on the Russian consulate in Kulen reached Qingdao, it also caused a lot of shock in East China, and some people believed that Chen Jingang's behavior was a flagrant violation of international treaties, which greatly damaged the international image of East China, and would bring great trouble to the diplomatic activities of East China. There was no signing, naturally it is not violated, and the international relations of this era have not been completely finalized and formed a broad international consensus, even if it is violated, there will be no serious consequences, and it will not bring trouble to the diplomatic activities of East China, not to mention that this time the Russian consulate also has problems, and it is also against the principle of diplomacy to connive at the military in the consulate to participate in the war, so Chen Jingang should be punished, but it should not be too heavy, after all, this time Chen Jingang has made a great contribution.

However, the question of how to deal with Chen Jingang can be put aside first, and eliminating the impact of attacking the consulate on East China is the first place, although in this era, the authority of the international convention is indeed not as strong as the old time and space, but the act of attacking the consulate will still bring a lot of negative effects to East China, so it is necessary to find some reasonable reasons for the behavior of the People's Army, and Jebtsundamba VIII is the best candidate.

Therefore, after consultation, the Qingdao Executive Yuan notified Chen Jingang overnight, asking him to find a way to force Jebtsundamba VIII to make that statement, and at the same time asked him to collect all the documents of the consulate and find evidence of Russia's support for **** and ****.

In fact, this method coincides with Chen Jingang, as soon as the battle in Kulun ended, Chen Jingang immediately met with Jebtsundamba VIII, and coerced and lured him for a while, and Jebzundamba VIII also knew very well in his heart that now he is a man-made sword, and he is a fish and meat, if he does not follow the meaning of East China, he and his family will not survive, Bi Jing East China ** even the Russian consulate dares to fight, indicating that they ignore any rules and constraints, and on the contrary, if they can cooperate with East China ** , I can still pick up a life, maybe I will keep the glory and wealth.

Jebtsundamba VIII was not the kind of person who could dedicate his life to his ideals, so he complied with Chen Jingang's request, and with Chen Jingang's cooperation, he gathered the Mongolian magnates who had been captured by the KPA, issued the statement, and then signed it jointly. Of course, after the signature, these Mongolian magnates remained in the custody of the People's Army, and the family of Jebtsundamba VIII remained under house arrest. First, these Mongolian magnates are all extremely influential people in Mongolia, and their energy is very doggy, and now the People's Army has just controlled Kulen, and there are not many people, of course, they can't all be released, and it is naturally more time-saving and labor-saving to concentrate on supervision;

After the release of the statement signed by the Mongolian magnates of Jebtsundamba VIII and Kulun, East China ** also breathed a sigh of relief, although everyone understands that this statement must have been made under the pressure of East China **, but this reason can only be said under the table, not on the table, and the identity of Jebtsundamba VIII is different after all, he is one of the two living Buddhas of Mongolia, the supreme ruler of Mongolia who integrates politics and religion, so as long as he says it, no matter what environment or occasion he says it, it cannot be taken lightly.

Subsequently, Huadong ** ordered Ouyang Longxing in the Dalinor Lake area to immediately send an army to Kulen as soon as possible to reinforce Chen Jingang.

It turned out that when Chen Jingang led the armored motorcycle unit to the area near Kulun to rest, the Mongolian campaign headquarters in Jinzhou finally ordered Ouyang Longxing to launch an attack on the camp of the Mongolian army, after all, the most important step of the raid on Kulen had been successful, and the subsequent battle was basically not difficult, so in the Dalinor Lake area, there was no need to consume the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army in the Dalinor Lake area should be solved as soon as possible, so as to reinforce Kulen as soon as possible.

At this time, Ouyang Longxing's army faced the Mongolian army in the Dalinor Lake area, and there was no large-scale war between the two sides, but the people's army had already waited a little impatiently, after all, every day watching the Mongolian army swaying in front of him, the opportunity for meritorious service was close at hand, almost within reach, but he just couldn't move, and everyone had to be anxious.

And now that he can finally do it, Ouyang Longxing also immediately dispatched troops to prepare to attack the Mongol army.
