Chapter 13 The Air Force Participates in the War for the First Time and Annihilates the Main Force of the Mongolian Army

Chechen Khan and Tushetu Khan were frightened when they heard the sound of gunfire in front of them, and at the same time restrained their horses.

Chechen Khan knew that there were three mountain passes that could enter the mountain, and a large group of cavalry activities were found in the south yesterday, which was the middle mountain pass, and now it seems that someone has blocked it, and the mountain pass in the north is still far away from the kiln gang people, maybe the kiln gang people have not yet arrived, even if they arrived, they arrived in a hurry, and the preparation will not be very sufficient, and they should rush out from there. However, there are 50,000 horses in this ravine, and there are more than ten miles of camps pulled out, and they all go out from the north I don't know what year, or let some people rush outside from the other two places, so as to attract some of the attention of the Yaogang people.

The Chechen Khan's thoughts flashed with lightning, and he immediately said to the frightened Tushetu Khan: "King Khan, it's useless to be afraid now, immediately organize our Anda, desperately rush out, and rush out as much as you want!" ”

Tushetu Khan nodded and said, "My Anda people listen to me, I will lead people to rush over first, and you will come after us!" After saying that, he hit the horse forward.

Chechen Khan suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart, because he wanted to turn around and rush out from the mountain pass in the north, what he just said to Tushetu Khan was just to let them attract the attention of the Yaogang people, but he didn't expect Tushetu Khan to be so righteous, he took the lead and let him follow behind. At this time, the Chechen Khan could not care about this, and ran back with his own soldiers.

The gunfire in front of them became more and more intense, and it was the airborne troops who parachuted down to open fire.

This detachment of the Airborne Forces, which was airdropped to the middle mountain pass, had a paratrooper on his feet after landing. They took them to the woods and put bone-setting medicine on them. The two special forces dressed in snow camouflage and paddled skis went out to reconnoitre, determined the blocking position, and after determining that it was very suitable, they did not take any action, and returned to the woods to hide, because they found traces of horses' hooves, and determined that this was a patrol sent by the Mongols, and they could not leave traces to expose the target.

They hid until the command gave the order to attack, and then they advanced to the blocking position to build fortifications. The blocking position is selected at the narrowest part of the mountain pass. In fact, the fortification is also very simple, that is, large stones are piled up to form a bunker and the weapons are erected. Their position was on a protruding boulder pile in the middle of the pass, which was stuck right in the pass. Among the weapons dropped to them was a water-cooled heavy machine gun. This is what they unanimously requested, because the continuous line of fire from this heavy machine gun is very good, as long as the ** is available, it can be fired almost continuously. Besides, there is snow everywhere in winter, and the water is a good solution. When they came to the position, they put a lot of snow on the side and put the snow in the tank. They knew that as soon as a shot was fired, snow would turn into water.

They also had three light machine guns in each group, two six-zero guns. Ammunition is enough to be airdropped, and if ammunition is missing, you can request an airdrop. Therefore, each group is very confident in sealing a mountain pass.

When the fortifications were finished, they all lay on their fur coats and covered with eiderdown sleeping bags to rest for their work.

The rumbling of artillery in front reminded them that the battle had begun. One by one, the airborne troops trembled and waited for the Mongols. Finally, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front, and the heavy machine gunner first pointed his gun at a place where the Mongols had to pass between two stones, and when several horses rushed out there, the heavy machine gun first opened fire with a "da-da-da", knocking down several horses and men who rushed over. The Mongols in the back were so frightened that they hurriedly reined in their horses and retreated. Among the airborne troops, the main force is still Li Jing's special forces, and they are like playing with war. They didn't bother to flee back at all, they knew that today's task was not to kill as many Mongols as possible, but to block them and hold out until the cavalry division behind them rushed over. So the Mongols retreated, and they didn't fight. Instead, while the rush was hot, quickly stuffed the snow into the tank. In this way, the snow turns into water, and the tank can be filled, and there will be no scruples about fighting for a while.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Mongol brigade to rush over. The Mongols were clever enough to pull their charging team wide apart, making the most of the width of the valley, and they wanted to rush suddenly so that their opponents could not take care of them, and they knew that it only took a few horses to rush up and cut off the heads of the kiln men.

However, the Mongols still underestimated the firepower of the kiln people. As they rushed into range, the Kiln Gang light and heavy machine guns opened fire at the same time, and the closer automatic rifles also opened fire. In fact, the lethality of a close-range automatic rifle is the same as that of a light machine gun.

The Mongols started shooting arrows while charging, but how could bows and arrows compete with automatic firearms. The horses of the Mongol cavalry were constantly hit and rolled on the snow, and the two 60 guns of the airborne troops kept throwing shells at the rear of the Mongols. The shells fell in the dense cavalry detachment, and the lethality was terrifying.

The war horses and dead bodies of the Mongols in front of them had already begun to pile up under the constant bullets fired from the kiln. In this regard, the officers and soldiers of the kiln gang are mentally prepared, and the military textbooks of the kiln gang all say that such a situation has appeared on the battlefield more than once, and the officers and men are required to be calm and calm when they encounter such a situation, and this is the battlefield. When the officers and men are mentally prepared, there will be no pressure on them on the battlefield.

The Mongols wanted to desperately rush out of a bloody road, and wanted to get out alive, so many people fell in front, and the ones behind continued to charge without stopping. The officers and men of the kiln gang fired non-stop, and the light machine gun changed the barrel several times. Fortunately, the water-cooled heavy machine gun did not need to change the barrel, and the bullets continued to rain tirelessly on the Mongolian cavalry.

When the battle was in full swing, the planes from Yaogang came out to help in the battle. There was only one pilot on the two planes, and there was no one in the back seat, but there were two heavy ** under the plane.

Two planes rushed over, and in the pile of Mongols that crowded the valley, they each dropped two **.

Two heavy ** exploded in the valley, the sound was huge, and the effect was terrifying. Where a ** fell, the Mongols within a few dozen meters around were either blown to pieces, or fell to the ground with a bloody nose and mouth that was shocked. After the explosion of the four **, the Mongols who were not killed stopped charging. The horses that didn't fall stopped for a while, and some of them couldn't hold on anymore and suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.

The two planes apparently didn't feel like they were enjoying the drop, so they turned around and flew along the valley while firing at the Mongols in the valley. Synchronous machine guns fired at the Mongols from the air, and the Mongols had nowhere to hide. The Mongols were stunned throughout. They had never seen such a battle, they didn't get close to them at all, they didn't know what their opponents were, so they died in a daze, and they who had always felt that they were not afraid of death knew that they were afraid.

After the two pilots ran out of bullets, they flew to the position of the airborne troops, shook their wings and flew away. The airborne troops have the air force to help them fight, and they are in a beautiful mood. I've never fought like this, it's refreshing. In fact, except for Li Jing's special forces, Li Wei and the people who parachuted in, although they have undergone strict training, almost none of them have gone through actual combat, and this battle turned them into veterans all of a sudden. As a result of the usual rigorous training, the fear of the first battle was overcome, and it was completely ready to play. After the war, Li Jing's special forces heard that they were on the battlefield for the first time, and they all had to give a thumbs up in admiration.

Although Tushetu Khan was not killed by the ** explosion, his nose was bleeding from the shock, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, gasping and saying, "Tell the sons!" Even if we all die here today, we can't disgrace our ancestors. Don't stop, the rest of the person will rush out too. "A thousand households have passed the order. Tushetu Khan ordered his soldiers: "Quick! Help me get on the horse, and I'll rush out with everyone! ”

A pro-soldier said, "Lord Wang! You can't get on the horse! Your nose is still bleeding. ”

Tushetu Khan slapped the soldier with all his strength, gasped and said, "Do you let me fall into the hands of the kiln people?" ”

The soldiers had no choice but to help Tushetu Khan on his horse, fearing that he would fall off his horse, and tied him with wool ropes, and the Mongol officers and soldiers who did not die were also very encouraged when they saw Tushetu Khan like this, and they once again beat their horses and rushed forward.

As soon as the Mongols paused, the soldiers at the kiln could breathe. They drank some water, ate something, and were waiting for the Mongols. There was also good news for them, the cavalry division behind them immediately caught up, and the forward company and one man and two horsemen had already accelerated over.

This time, the Mongols knew that they couldn't rush out again, and the kiln gang people would come over, and they would all die here, so this charge, the Mongols were desperate. It was another showdown of bullets against the cavalry wind, and just as the two sides were once again in a scorching state, there was a buzzing sound in the sky. It turned out that the delta-wing aircraft from Yaogang came to help. This time came five delta wings. The delta wing did not carry **, they carried as many mortar shells as they could. From the air, they saw the density of Mongols and threw shells wherever they wanted. The threat was so great that it disrupted the Mongol charge at once. Until the delta wing ** was finished, the Mongols had not organized another attack.

These delta-wing pilots are also bullying enough, they still don't leave after they have all been thrown, they fly low in the air, and they shoot at the Mongols with pistols in their hands. Knock the Mongols off their horses. After playing enough, it was like an airplane, swaying and flying over the kiln gang blocking position and leaving.

Tushetu Khan's physical condition was a little better, and when he wanted to organize the charge again, it was too late, and the **** sound of the kiln gang attacking from behind them kept coming, and it was getting closer and closer.

There were many more people on the front to block them, and Tushetu Khan understood that the Yaogang people's brigade was surrounding. Now it was really the last moment, and suddenly Tushetu Khan felt a heat in his chest, a sweetness in his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Although he was tied to his horse and did not fall, his body fell to one side. The soldiers hurried to put him down from their horses. Tushetu Khan was unconscious.

Behind the airborne troops was a cavalry company, they were lightly armed, and they came all the way, which made the airborne troops so happy, they had entered two tense battles, and they were really tired.

Seeing the team coming up, the special forces who led the team here said to the cavalry company commander who was running in a hot sweat: "Hey! We're going to finish our battles, so you're here? ”

The cavalry company commander was a little embarrassed and said, "Come on, brother!" Look at my brother running away with this sweat, we are rushing to you as soon as it is a little light. Don't dare to walk the mountain road at night! ”

The special forces picked up the boiling hot water, poured a cup and handed it over, saying, "Okay! Drink some water and do the rest! ”

"Huh! Well fought your battle! Can you still boil hot water to drink? "The cavalry company commander thought that they didn't know how hard they fought.

"Oops! What kind of guys are we holding, there are planes in the sky to help, and there are artillery and heavy planes on the ground to rob them, and hitting them is like fighting wild sheep. I'm too embarrassed to tell us about it when I go back. This is considered a war, which is the kind of manual labor that Mr. Zhang said! Hearing what the cavalry company commander said, this special soldier was even more awesome.

After drinking some hot water, the cavalry company commander felt that it was particularly delicious, firstly, he was indeed thirsty when he rode a horse, and secondly, the hot water boiled in this bloody wind felt special. The cavalry company commander said, "All right, brothers, go down!" I'll leave it to us," he said, pointing to the water-cooled heavy machine gun, "and the guy left it for us, and we came here lightly, without a heavy machine gun!" ”

"Okay!" The special forces said, "Don't look at that guy stupidly, but it works!" ”

At this time, Li Wei, who was airborne with the special forces, and his people still wanted to stay and participate in the battle, but they didn't fight enough. The special forces were so angry in their hearts, and they said: "We people are trained with piles of gold, and we can only use them under special circumstances. It seems that these guys are still recruits and really don't understand this. He gathered the team and said to them, "Do you know what you do?" ”

When no one answered, the special forces stared at them and said, "The money used for your training may be heavier than yourselves, and your commander didn't tell you about this?" ”

Still no one answered, and the special forces said: "It's not that your lives are worth more than the lives of ordinary soldiers, it's that the cost of your training is much higher than theirs, and you can only use it in the most special circumstances, and if you charge with ordinary soldiers, it's a crime!" ”

Li Wei's people understood the words of the special forces, most of them were going to be pilots, not that the situation was extremely special, and it was impossible for them to participate in the battle, so after listening to the words of the special forces, they all bowed their heads and stopped talking. However, they also particularly admire the special forces, this person's level may not be high, but whether it is combat experience, combat skills, or calm-headedness, they can't compare.

At the same time, the mountain pass to the north is almost the same as here. It's just that their reinforcements there went later, but the terrain occupied by the airborne troops was more favorable, and they fought more easily.

The artillery wagons that attacked from the outside came to the front of the Mongol camp, and met with almost no resistance, and the camp was full of messes, dead horses and dead bodies, everywhere, horse and human body parts, pieces of them everywhere. However, it was difficult for the artillery carriage to advance here, because there were boulders everywhere in front, and the cars behind could not enter, so the cavalry commander who had been following behind was happy, led his horse to the front, and said to the commander of the artillery carriage who was commanding with half of his body exposed on the artillery carriage: "Okay, brother, you guys are not good here!" You can just watch the excitement here, and we'll take care of the rest! ”

The commander of the artillery truck sighed helplessly, picked up the radio and said: "Attention all cars, three high-explosive shells are fired rapidly at each car in front!" ”

The cavalry commander was even happier.

Ten gun wagons fired three shells each, sending smoke billowing from the valley ahead.

The commander of the cavalry regiment waved his hand and directed the cavalry to rush over. When the cavalry encounters a living Mongolian soldier, they hit it with a string of bullets, and when they encounter a large force of cavalry to block it, they dismount and set up a mortar is a burst of bombardment, in short, they are not in a hurry, and they are absolutely not brutal. To deal with the turtle in the urn, the main thing is not to suffer losses, and the surrounding Mongols can't run, and there is no need to fight with them.

The battle ended in the afternoon. Unfortunately, a few thousand Mongols ran out.

When the Chechen Khan ran to the northernmost ravine, there were also gunshots in front of them, and after a while, Zasaktu Khan retreated back with his people, and when he saw the Chechen Khan, he didn't bother to ask him why he came here, and quickly said: "The front is blocked, hurry up and go out in a different place!" ”

Chechen Khan sighed and said: "It's all blocked, you can only rush through here!" Hurry up and take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, we still have a chance. ”

Zasaktu Khan nodded and didn't speak, turned around and organized the team to rush back, but he couldn't rush through several times, and then he was attacked by an airplane and a delta wing attack. Because the Chechen Khan is completely finished this time, it seems that the Yaogang people are more prepared than them this time. At this time, a personal soldier ran over and whispered in the ear of the Chechen Khan: "King Khan, a few Anda have found a path!" ”

The Chechen Khan couldn't believe it and quickly said, "Is this true?" ”

"It's true! I went to see it with my own eyes, but it was very difficult to walk and required a big climb! ”

"Let's go! Let's see! "How could the Chechen Khan let go of such a lifesaver.

When they came to a fork in the back, they saw a Mongol man, desperately driving his war horse to climb the hillside, because the Mongols could not do without war horses, and without war horses, they would not be able to survive if they went out.

The Chechen Khan also helplessly waited for the Mongol soldiers to go up, and took his own soldiers to go up with great effort, but suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in the sky, and it was the delta wing that came to reconnoiter the battlefield. The Chechen Khan ordered his soldiers to get more sheepskins from the tents that had been camouflaged. They clothed themselves in sheepskins, and they clothed their horses, and the triangular wings of the kiln could not find them from the air. Because from the air, they are just some unmelted snow. However, the Chechen Khan did not forget, and when he left, he sent someone to inform Zasaktu Khan.

When Zasaktu Khan heard this information, he quickly fled from here with his men. Since the cavalry division was never in place and did not attack from here, more than 2,000 people escaped from here in the end, which is a great pity.

However, the main forces of Khalkha in this battle have been wiped out, and the Khalkha Mongols will no longer pose a big threat.

After the war, a simple count shows that more than 30,000 Mongols were killed, more than 10,000 Mongols were captured, and only more than 2,000 escaped. Having captured the seriously wounded Tushetu Khan, Zhou Yuji gave him the best medicine and tried his best to save him.

There were countless horses killed. More than 50,000 horses were captured. Grain and grass wagons and tents are also innumerable.

Zhou Yuji commanded the brigade to clean up the battlefield for repairs, and at the same time sent a cavalry division to advance quickly and go straight to Kulun. Because there is no longer a cavalry division that can threaten the strength of a cavalry division.

After receiving Zhou Yuji's battle report, Yaogang was of course very happy. Zhang Zhimu immediately asked Editor-in-Chief Fan to broadcast the news on the radio, and he came to the Yaogang Hotel to report the battle report to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen listened, he didn't say anything for a long time, his eyes were obviously full of tears, and several adults present were also very excited. After a while, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Zhang Dongjia, broadcast it immediately, and want to celebrate with the whole world!" ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "They have been notified, and it will be broadcast soon!" ”

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said, "It's finally time to wait for this day." Mr. Zhou has made a great contribution! After speaking, Emperor Chongzhen sensed that Zhou Zongbing didn't seem to be right, and changed his words and said, "Oh! Now it's Commander Zhou! ”

Zhang Zhimu hurriedly said: "Actually, it's all the same, there is no difference between General Soldier Zhou and Commander Zhou. ”

Liu Jiantai turned around and said: "For many years, we have been worried about the threat from the north, and now we have completely annihilated their main force and completely eradicated this threat. Fathers and fathers will be happy! ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Zhang Dongjia, are you going to get drunk tonight!" ”

"Okay!" Zhang Zhimu said, "I have already informed Zhou Yuji that I want to reward the soldiers!" ”

"Yes, yes! Be sure to reward the soldiers! Emperor Chongzhen also said.

"And yes! Your Majesty, one of our cavalry divisions is now storming Kulen and will soon occupy the Khalkha Mongol lair. Zhang Zhimu said.

"A cavalry division?" Emperor Chongzhen felt that the number of troops was a little less.

"Huh! The emperor can rest assured that now the Mongols have no strength to threaten one of our cavalry divisions! ”

"Oh! Now we can sweep through Mobei! "Emperor Chongzhen understood.

"Your Majesty! We sent so many troops, but we didn't expect to wipe out the main Mongol force so quickly, and we thought that we would spend some time catching them in the ultra-distant Gobi. In this case, our next plan needs to be revised. Detailed planning is being made at the command center. However, I suggested to them that Jiang Ji leave some troops to deal with the Japanese. After the rest of our armies move north, they can press westward appropriately. ”

Emperor Chongzhen came to the front of the map, Zhang Zhimu followed, pointed to Kulen (Ulaanbaatar) and said, "This place will be taken down soon, and the next step is to go north to Kyakhta, which is the place where Su Wu shepherded sheep back then." Further north to the North Sea (Lake Baikal). We are going to build two bases in Kulen and the North Sea. Build a shipyard in the North Sea, and after building the ships, you can go along the rivers along the coast of the North Sea. ”

"Good! I must send more people over, because the land is vast and sparsely populated. Emperor Chongzhen said.

"We still have some prisoners, plus more than 10,000 Mongol prisoners, and I still want them to repair the road. Once the roads are repaired, our cars will be able to bring the supplies we need, and the goods from there will be brought back. Zhang Zhimu said.

"It's better to build a railroad over there, and then that side will never be lost!" Emperor Chongzhen also knew the importance of railways.

New progress in "Memories of the Southern Song Dynasty": the Battle of Yashan, the defeat of the Yuan army, the counterattack of the Song army, and the landing in Fuzhou.
