Chapter 741: Victory Ditch Ambush
The 'advance' of the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry division was very fast, and in just one day, it had reached less than 20 miles away from the victory ditch. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]。 For more recent chapters, visit:
Borji is the leader of this cavalry, the so-called 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry division, can not be called the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry division at all, the outer 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry division is much more backward than the Manchu Dynasty, this 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry division is just the outer 'Mongolian' ancient princes entangled together 20 cavalry battalions, each battalion has a number of 300 to 500 people.
In order to control, restrict, and reduce the total population of the 'Mongolian' people in the outer 'Mongolian' ancient areas, the Manchu court encouraged the 'Mongolian' people in the outer 'Mongolian' ancient areas to leave their families and secular life and become monks (i.e., Tibetan Buddhism ---- Lamaist monks).
Kangxi and other emperors personally allocated foreign funds from the state treasury to build temples, "building a temple is better than using 100,000 soldiers", "those who have two sons in the family should have one son as a lama, and those who have three sons should have two sons as lamas", so that for a considerable period of time from Kangxi to Jiaqing, one-third of the 'Mongolian' ancient people became monks (monks), and they did not marry, marry, give birth, or engage in material production.
As a result of the long-term implementation of the strategy of controlling the 'Mongols', the total population of the 'Mongol' ancient people not only did not increase rapidly as the total population of the Manchus under the rule of the Manchus, but showed a downward trend. say
Up to now, the total population of the 'Mongolian' ancient 'Mongolian' people in the 'Mongolian' ancient world is 6.7 million, and the number of young and middle-aged people is less than 300,000.
The cavalry led by Borji, combined, is only about 1,000 people, which is only equivalent to the establishment of two cavalry brigades of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, and as for the guns, it is only the equipment of a cavalry brigade, so there is really nothing to praise for such combat effectiveness. [I love to read]
But Borji doesn't think so, in his opinion, the world's once most powerful Eight Banners 'elite' soldiers have disappeared, and now the most powerful is the Cossack cavalry of the Tsarist Russian Empire, except for the Cossack cavalry, there is no cavalry in the world that can compete with the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry, not to mention, there are still nearly 10,000 cavalry?
This time, what he had to do was to plunder the merchant travelers and cities of Inner Mongolia with the infantry cavalry corps of Tsarist Russia, and take all the wealth of the Manchu Qing back to Kulen, as for the garrison here? Now that the Manchurian Imperial Court has been driven away, I don't know where to go, how many garrisons can there be here?
Even if there are some, they can't resist the attack of their nearly 10,000 cavalry and 100,000 Tsarist Russian troops, and they are afraid that just one face will defeat them all!
Borji thought beautifully in his heart, fantasizing about the scene of 'spending' the sky and wine in Hohhot, sitting on the scene of beauties, and his mood suddenly fluttered.
At this time, Ma Jinxu and Ma Kai, the commander of the 15th Brigade, had already moved to Deshenggou, and more than 5,000 people in a brigade were all hidden in the mountains of Deshenggou, and then the dense vegetation was hidden, and the entire Deshenggou was more than three miles long, and it was occupied by the revolutionary army.
Especially at the entrance to the northeast, Ma Jinxu directly put six 'Ting' heavy machine guns here and at the same time there is a battalion of troops, as the strength of the pocket, the two sides are evenly distributed from beginning to end, and the southwest exit is also deployed with a battalion of troops to guard, as long as the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry gets in, and then wants to get out, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Borji led twenty cavalry battalions to rush towards the victory ditch, and after passing this small area, less than thirty miles forward, he arrived at the city of Hohhot.
Borji was full of excitement and shouted: "Give the children an order, step up the march, as long as you pass this depression, and then go forward to Hohhot City, where can we drink wine in a big bowl and eat 'meat' in a big bowl, there is no beautiful 'girl' to have fun with, there are a lot of treasures for us to grab, work harder, rush me!" ”
Nearly 10,000 cavalry broke into the victory ditch in this way, and the long and narrow terrain did not bring them any doubts, in Borji's opinion, such a short distance, a charge passed, and not even a stick of incense could be used.
However, a simple negligence sent the cavalry to hell.
Ma Jinxu quietly watched as the cavalry of the 'Meng' Gu had all rushed into the victory ditch, and the pistol in his hand was raised, and it was a shot towards the sky, and he shouted: "Fight!" ”
The revolutionary army on the mountains on both sides instantly opened full firepower, and hit the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry, and in an instant, tongues of fire erupted out, forming a dense firepower network, enveloping all the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry!
What's even more terrifying is that the 15th Brigade did not carry a single 'door' heavy artillery piece for convenience, but brought out the mortars of two brigades, and this kind of terrain is most suitable for mortar attacks, and nearly 100 'mortars' continue to fire mortar shells in the canyon, blowing up the canyon to the ground!
The entire 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry is all 'chaotic', the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry, who have never experienced a hot weapon war over the years, is facing such fierce firepower, but it is stupid, is this still the war in their own minds, such fierce firepower, especially the war horse under their own crotch, the saber in their hands is useless at all!
Under the fierce fire of the revolutionary army, the ancient cavalry of Mongolia was constantly planted from horses, and the whole team had become a "mess", and the unlucky Borji was only now beginning to regret it, careless, specially, I didn't expect that the Chinese Revolutionary Army had such advanced weapons, just a face, and now hundreds of people have been killed, if it takes a long time, I don't want to leave here alive!
Borji shouted: "Order, the rear team becomes the front team, and immediately rush out of this canyon!" ”
The 'Meng' ancient cavalry, who were in a panic, finally reorganized their ranks and rushed in the direction they came.
But it's easy to get in, and I'm thinking about rushing out, it's difficult, the revolutionary army in the northeast direction has already blocked the valley mouth, and more than a dozen 'strong' heavy machine guns with a battalion of troops have stubbornly held the valley mouth, and the cavalry has started a crazy strafing 'shooting', the 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry is now surging towards the valley mouth, a large number of cavalry are crowded together in the narrow valley mouth, which is simply a live target, and pieces are swept down by heavy machine guns and rifles, and it is difficult for the cavalry to get close to the valley mouth within 100 meters!
Two consecutive charges were suppressed by the revolutionary army, and the current 'Mongolian' ancient cavalry couldn't rush through at all, so they had to give up the charge, and retreated in a panic like a retreating 'tide'.
The pipe leader of the cavalry battalion, Badah, panted and said: "Commander, we can't charge it at all, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, just two charges just now, we have killed a battalion of warriors, what should we do?" ”
