Chapter 447: Qiqihar Prisoner
Linxing's 800-mile expedited journey was a fast horse, but no matter how fast it was, it could not compare to the telegram from Northern Manchuria, and as soon as Linxing's messenger set off, the Mengdong Four Leagues had already received orders from Changchun. The messenger did not dare to take the train, so he could only gallop through the wilderness, and the militia and herdsmen of all banners closely monitored their pastures, and no outsider should try to slip through.
Originally, the nearest way to enter Beijing from Uriya Sutai was to enter the Xilin Gol League from the Tushetu Khan Division, and then transfer to the Chahar Eight Banners and then enter Zhili. Now the Xilin Gol League is already a Manchurian territory, and the territory under the jurisdiction of the Tushetu Khan Department is also occupied by Manchuria. However, the Ulanqab League not only has a long road, but also the wind and sand are much more serious than the road of the Xilin Gol League, although the messenger is a man and five horses, but the speed cannot be up at all, whether he can rush to Beijing before the fall of Uriya Sutai can only depend on luck.
Lin Xing's luck was obviously not good, his messenger had not yet touched the border wall of Hukou, and the railway in Northern Manchuria had been repaired to the periphery of Uriya Sutai. The southern, central, and northern railways were repaired to Obortozhai, Taliyatu, and Ilguk Sanhutu respectively, and the encirclement of Uriya Sutai was completed from the southeast, south, and south. The only gap in the west was also blocked by the cavalry of Bozhtu, who had just run back from Tangnu Ulianghai. Uriya Sutai was under siege, and Linxing had become a turtle in an urn, and the only hope was that the imperial court could send reinforcements quickly.
The two divisions of the Railway Corps were too scattered along the railway, and they could no longer form an effective combat force after reaching the periphery of Uriya Sutai, but in the current situation, they could hold the railway, and they did not need to intervene in the capture of Uriya Sutai. The two brigades of Bozhtu, who had been fighting fiercely for many days, had already been supplied, and the Nash's army, which had forced the main forces of the Khalkha Mongol divisions to Uriya Sutai, was even more powerful and well-equipped, and it was enough to clean up Uriya Sutai.
Not counting the cavalry of four brigades, just two infantry divisions had a force that 100,000 Khalkha Mongol cavalry could not resist. The 11th Infantry Division stationed in Hung Yen Province and the 3rd Infantry Division stationed in Heilongjiang Province each brought 8 gates, 32 times 15 grenades, not to mention knocking on the city defense of Uriya Sutai, and razing Uriya Sutai to the ground is a matter of time. Moreover, the two divisions have just been supplemented with two 220 mm heavy siege guns, which can fire not only conventional shells, but also devastating shells such as special and high-spirits.
"Nash, you shit, why are you walking so slowly! I'm tired of you! Alright, you go down to the front line to command! I'll take your place in command!" "I just got supplies, and I pumped three Bo Ri maps of Changbai Mountain in a row, and the Malaysian Golden Knife went straight to Nash's headquarters.
According to seniority, Nash was a full level worse than Bozhtu, and when Bozhtu was the battalion commander, Nash was the company commander. In terms of understanding the local situation, Bozhtu, a Mongol, is far better than Nash, a Zhili bannerman. Therefore, in the absence of Goxinga's appointment, Bozhitu is indeed the most suitable candidate for commander. Bo Zhitu's attitude is so arrogant, firstly, he and Nash came from the deserted village era together, and their personal relationship is good. Second, in the past, Nash saluted when he saw him, but this time he only commanded 14,000 people, and Nash did have more than 40,000 people, and he did not raise his voice loudly, for fear of losing his face in front of the newcomers.
"Come in!" Nash didn't flatter and flatter, and nothing but an answer that sounded like an order came from the command's tent.
As soon as this sentence came out, not to mention that Bo Ritu's face couldn't get down, even several of his old subordinates rolled up their arms and sleeves and prepared to go in to find Nash to turn his face. Although Bo Ritu is not polite, there are some jokes in his words, and even if Bo Ritu's words are excessive, he is one of the five elders of the Manchurian Army after all, and Nash is a bit too much to give face. Originally, under Nash, he asked in advance to take supplies to meet Porbitu's Halbara, who was even more angry, he was a relative of Bozhtu, and he mixed well in the army and borrowed his cousin's light. Although I got along with Nash for a while, I felt that Nash was not bad, but I definitely couldn't bear to scold my uncle.
"Commander-in-chief, you have such a big breath!" Bozhtuwan didn't expect Nash to lose face like this, so he took the lead in killing the command himself.
But the picture in the command headquarters is very different from what Bo Ritu imagined, the busy staff officers and adjutants are nothing special, but the people in the main position are very strange. On the main seat was a young man of about twenty years old who was eating dumplings, and his epaulettes were blocked by a coat draped diagonally over his body, and when it was a diamond-encrusted collar badge, he proved that the young man was a super senior officer. This person made Bo Ritu feel very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, and Nash, who was supposed to be on the main seat, smiled at Bo Ritu with some embarrassment standing next to the main seat. The young man raised his head and smiled at Bo Ritu while eating, and the scar on his left forehead gave Bo Ritu a great inspiration. Especially when young people eat dumplings, at first glance they move very slowly, but if they look closely, they throw them into their mouths one by one, which is exactly the style of Guo Xing'a, the old leader of Bo Ritu.
After Changchun's general Xingyuan was repaired, Guo Xing'a was no longer the young chief who could be met when he went out and turned left, except for a few high-level people, it was difficult for ordinary people to see Guo Xing'a easily. Bo Zhitu has been thrown by Goxinga in Mongolia for many years, and he can receive one of the instructions and orders in three or five days, and he feels that Goxinga is by his side, but in fact he has not seen Goxinga in person for four or five years. People grow very fast at the age of fifteen to twenty, so Guo Xing'a has changed a lot in height and appearance, so people who haven't seen Guo Xing'a for a long time such as Bo Ritu will inevitably not recognize it for a while.
"General!" Bo Ritu and the others all exclaimed, and the young middle-level officers cheered even more, of course, Bo Ritu was a little weak-hearted, he was more accustomed to the days when Guo Xing'a was not around.
"Bo Ritu, soldiers must pay attention to etiquette, don't always shout in the public, your status is not low, you must pay attention to prestige!" Guo Xinga threw the chopsticks and trained Bo Ritu.
"Whoa, whoa! I'll be sure to pay attention in the future! After Bo Ritu saluted, he just kept nodding his head yes, and he also saw sweat on his forehead. The sudden appearance of Guo Xing'a must have come for him, although he didn't do anything big, but he still felt a lot of pressure in the face of Guo Xing'a.
"Nash, go and deploy your troops to siege the city! The two brigades of the Xilin Gol League are under your command, the damage and casualties are as small as possible, and I want to see the living Dingbian Left Deputy General Lin Xing before dark! "Goxinga took all the military power of Bozhtu in one sentence, and the capture of Uriya Sutai also lost the matter of Bozhtu.
"Huh! Please rest assured! "The modern Nash family is the coat of the Yehenara sect, so his call for Guoxing'a master cannot be regarded as a deliberate relationship.
"I'm full, Bo Ritu, you go out for a walk with me, let's eat!" Goxinga left Bo Zhitu alone, and he had to talk to him alone.
"Huh!" Bo Ritu was a little reluctant, Guo Xing'a has been very average to him in recent years, and it is not a good thing to find him this time.
Before Goxinga annexed the Mengdong Four Leagues in the first half of the year, the jurisdiction of Bozhitu was only the Northern Four Banners of the Zhelimu League, and with the reclamation of pastoral areas, the administrative area of Bozhitu became smaller and smaller. Now, although the four leagues of Mongolia and Eastern Mongolia have been subdued, on the face of Guoxing'a wants to engage in national autonomy, in private, it is the territory of Halbara and Gilzhanga. Halbara is Bozhtu's own relative, and Gilzhanga is a relative of Goshinga, and Bozhtu can't bully the two younger ones, so he can only sulk in his own home. Tan Shaoguang, Bi Yuntao, Ji Ying, Feng Sheng'a, Acton, Chengtai, these comrades-in-arms who used to be at a level, and even the little brothers who were a little lower are all in important positions, how can Bo Ritu not be angry. He is nominally the same as everyone else, but the place is too bad, Ji Ying has already studied pressing the elevator in his own house, Bo Ritu doesn't even use the flush toilet, he can balance the ghost.
"You fought well this time, and it also showed me the power of the Mongolian cavalry. It's not that our Mongol cavalry is not working, it's just that they are in the wrong place with their men. Through your performance this time, I have found the direction of the use of cavalry, and our strategy for the Russians will be adjusted in the future, and your Mongolian cavalry is very important! Guo Xing'a didn't let Bo Ritu worry for too long, and when the others went down, he told his intentions.
Goxinga's ideas have always been stuck in the twenty-first century, so he was too far ahead of his time, and there were too many things in Manchuria to keep up with his train of thought. And because of the lack of knowledge, Goxinga always thought that as long as there were machine guns, there would be no need for cavalry to exist, but he forgot to maneuver. It was not until the beginning of the formal study of the war against Tsarist Russia that he discovered that the railways could not solve all the problems of maneuverability, and his troops were still far from being fully mechanized. Moreover, Russia, which is very backward in infrastructure, has no room for mechanized troops to move around, and only cavalry is the royal road in this kind of place. At this time, with 10,000 recruits, Bo Ritu turned the vast territory of Uriya Sutai upside down, and suddenly gave Guo Xinga inspiration. The cavalry has not only a strong impact, but also an incomparably strong maneuver. Europe, with its small territory, can only reflect the impact of cavalry, and a large country with a vast territory like China and Russia can reflect the terrifying power of cavalry mobility.
"This time I came in person, in addition to visiting you, to arrange for you to train cavalry. It may be a little tight on time, but this is also something that cannot be helped, after the end of the war, all the pastoral areas of the Mengdong Four Leagues and Uriya Sutai will be under your jurisdiction, and I will need five cavalry divisions within a year. You don't have to worry about equipment and horses, but you have to come up with qualified soldiers! Goxinga didn't have any discussion, he directly gave a resolute task.
"The general is assured, I guarantee to complete the task!" Guo Xing'a asked for a few divisions Bo Ritu didn't care, he only heard that Guo Xing'a asked him to be the king of Mongolia.
"Your popularity in the area of Kobdo and Tangnu Ulianghai is not very good, and Fengluantai also accuses you of sabotaging the national policy in the territory, you can find a way to get it done quickly, I'm afraid of trouble!" Goxinga's final confession is a bit unfathomable.
When Guo Xing'a and Bo Ritu finished chatting, the quite capable Lin Xing had already been defeated under the absolute weapon gap, and the destructive power of the large-caliber * cannon when it exploded, the defenders of Uriya Sutai who had not seen much of it on the market could not withstand it at all. So as soon as Goxinga and Bozhitu finished chatting, Halbara had already appeared in front of Goxinga with Linxing.
"Send Qiqihar to be strictly controlled! He is still the left deputy general of Dingbian, don't treat him harshly in etiquette and treatment, and it is not easy for him! "Guoxing's Lin Xing took care of him very much, and did not hold him responsible for fighting himself, but just locked up Lin Xing indefinitely.
