In the military department of the central government of the People's Army, there is a document called "Steppe Strategy Plan", the main target is the nomadic tribes of the steppe, with a focus on the Tatars and Warats.

Earlier, when Qiannan, Hu Zhuang, Wang Shengrong and other high-level officials of the People's Army were chatting, they talked about the Tatars, and chatted and chatted about a "Grassland Strategy Plan", and most of the ideas came from Fang Nan.

At present, the "Grassland Raiders Plan" has been initially implemented, from the formation of one lancer division to the formation of ten lancer divisions, and when five lancer divisions are formed, so that the people's army has some strength across the grassland, it will proceed to the next step, building a city.

The ultimate goal of the "Steppe Strategy Plan" is to destroy the Tatars and Warats on the steppes or drive them to the ends of the earth, and the People's Army will completely control the steppes.

But the steppes are so big that the territories of the Tatars and Warats together are about to catch up with the size of the land of China, and the People's Army needs 300,000 or 500,000 cavalry to be able to hold the steppe?

It is not possible for the People's Army to expand the Lancers to 100,000 in a short period of time, so it is written in the "Grassland Strategy Plan" that when the People's Army has formed five lancer divisions, it will continue to advance the defense line to the prairie by building a city, and now the People's Army's defense line is the Great Wall of China.

The lancers went deep into the steppe to destroy and drive out the Tatars, and then the People's Army would send people to build roads into the steppe, and at intervals they could trim a city or a fortress.

The fort was mainly used by the KPA garrison troops, and secondly, when the enemy attacked, the surrounding herdsmen could enter the fort to take refuge.

The farther north the climate, the colder it becomes, which is not suitable for human survival, and Fang Nan did not think of large-scale migration to the prairie, which is mainly suitable for grazing cattle, horses and sheep, and is not suitable for large-scale cultivation and planting of crops.

Cattle, horses and sheep can be raised on a large scale by dispersing to each household, and others can be raised, except for war horses, it is difficult for farmers to raise excellent war horses, and only in the open prairie can more excellent war horses be raised.

Herdsmen can take the fortress as the center, grazing cattle, horses and sheep in the surrounding area, once they encounter the enemy, the cattle, horses and sheep give up, people flee to the fortress, under the protection of the people's army, they can continue to live, a fortress of 3,000 firearms troops, can even resist 100,000 enemy cavalry.

Through fortresses and barbed wire, the People's Army's defensive line was continuously pushed north and west, driving away both the Tatars and the Warats.

Fang Nan was very confident in the "Steppe Raiders Plan", maybe it would only take five years to form enough spear troops to drive out the Tatars and Warats.

……

On the steppe, a new day came, the lancer division led by Tian Zhe continued to advance, and in the middle of the morning, a scout finally reported that they had found traces of the Tatars, and several Tatars were grazing in the distance.

It was easy to spot the Tatars, but it was more difficult to capture the Tatars or even find the Tatar dwellings, the Tatar grazing areas were not close to the living areas, and because of the Tatars grazing on the periphery, it was difficult for the KPA to sneak into the vicinity of the Tatar settlements.

Before entering the prairie, Tian Tetsu thought about these things, and after many discussions with all the officers of the spear division at and above the regimental level, he decided on the battle plan.

For the Tatars, cattle, horses, sheep, yurts, and other household utensils were very important, and when a large number of enemies attacked, they had to give up most of their things, and only people could run away, but they did not have much food after escaping, and faced a difficult choice, waiting for death, or taking refuge in other tribes.

Because only people pass, if the other tribes do not have enough food, they will not easily accept outsiders to join, and they will eventually starve to death, or be killed by a certain tribe with bad intentions, and all the men will be killed, and the women will stay to give birth to their children.

In the event of a small enemy attack, in order to preserve their wealth and food, the Tatars will stand up and kill the enemy, and it does not matter if some of the tribesmen die, as long as the food is still there, the tribe can continue to survive.

The 5,000 cavalry of the Lancer Division went out together, and most of the tribes in the steppe had no way to resist it, so they chose to flee at the first time, because the Lancer Division was the enemy of the Tatars, and most of the Tatars who fled would choose to tell other tribes that everyone would unite to drive the Lancer Division out of the steppe, and the tribes that were robbed of cattle, horses and sheep by the Lancer Division might have a chance to recapture some cattle, horses and sheep.

According to the abundance of water and grass in the area, the Lancer Division only sent a small number of cavalry out, and in the face of the Lancers, the Tatars would most of the time choose to resist, creating an opportunity for the Lancer Division to exterminate this "tribe".

The Tatars just discovered by the lancer division, according to the surrounding situation, should be just one Aul, there can be about 20 tents and 100 people, which is considered a lot, adult men and women can fight, and the number of people who can participate in the battle will definitely not exceed fifty horses, and finally Tian Zhe decided to send a platoon of thirty horsemen to fight.

The first battle of the Lancer Division into the grassland is coming, and the five regiments all want to get the opportunity to fight the first battle, and after drawing lots, the second regiment will send a platoon to carry out the task, and the second regiment will draw lots again, and finally it will be the opportunity for Wu Zhiyang's platoon to carry out the mission.

When the soldiers in Wu Zhiyang's platoon learned that the platoon commander had won the lottery, they almost jumped up one by one and kept showing off to their comrades in the other two platoons in the company.

The Lancer Division can be regarded as an elite in the People's Army, and the possibility of an accident in any platoon sent to battle is relatively small, so Tian Zhe can decide the platoon to carry out the task by drawing lots at will.

"Wu Zhiyang, the task of the first battle will be handed over to your platoon." Tian Zhe patted Wu Zhiyang's shoulder and said.

"Division commander, our platoon guarantees to complete the task!" Wu Zhiyang replied loudly.

"Alright, let's go."

"Yes!"

Wu Zhiyang's platoon of 30 cavalry set off, and most of the lancer division led by Tian Zhe also underwent new changes, scattered in regiments, and the division headquarters and a regiment were together, all following behind Wu Zhiyang's platoon, not too close, worried that when Wu Zhiyang's platoon came into contact with the enemy, the enemy would find the large force behind him, causing the enemy to run away.

Soon, Wu Zhiyang's platoon approached the grazing Tatars.

"Look south!"

"Is it the enemy?"

"Can't be sure."

Several Tatars on horseback and grazing looked at the approaching Wu Zhiyang platoon, and as the distance got closer and closer, the Tatars were already able to see clearly the clothes of the thirty lancers of Wu Zhiyang's platoon, which was grass green clothes, which was not found in the steppe!
