Chapter 478: Soldiers Coming to Kulen
If the assassination does not work, then the only way to use the method of plunder, for the living Buddha, as early as Baotou, Lan Rongzeng made a certain plan, that is, to raid the temple, capture the living Buddha alive, and then in the name of the living Buddha, announced the return to China, is the best way to solve the Mongolian solution, for this reason, he made a special appropriate arrangement.
After coming to Kulun, Lan Rongzeng was thinking of a way, the previous targeted expulsion, it can be said that it was very beautiful, and it was a little difficult to put it on the action of the living Buddha, Jebtsundamba is the eighth living Buddha, one of the leaders of the Yellow Sect for many years, and is the spiritual leader of the entire Mongolia, leading the religion of the entire Mobei.
Jebtsundamba is a smart one, he declared independence at the turbulent time of the Central Plains, under the impetus of Russia, and proclaimed himself the emperor of the Great Mongols, what he wanted was nothing more than to restore the glory of the former Mongolian Yuan, but unfortunately he had no vision and could not see this era, which was no longer suitable for a living Buddha, or a system of theocracy, the special environment of Mongolia, a completely landlocked country and relatively poor resources, so that any of his ideas could not be implemented.
The vision is not good, it does not mean that he is not careful, at this time, he is hiding in the temple, under the escort of the monks and the Mongolian elite, but the number of spears in the temple is more than 700, the elite monks, are trained, highly loyal monks, their number has reached about 2000, a small temple, there are so many soldiers, it can be said that there is no dead end.
Religious fanaticism is recognized by the world, Lan Rongzeng is also under Yang Yuanzhao's construction, more careful, last night, with the help of an opportunity to change the guard, he took a company of soldiers, once tentatively attacked, taste it, the monk soldiers showed the kind of self-sacrifice and fanaticism, made his scalp numb, if it were not for the strength of the special forces, maybe under the suicide attack, lose a part of the personnel.
The strength of the special forces lies in the asymmetry of the firepower and the area, not for a strong attack, the temple building is relatively strong, coupled with the caution of Jebu Zundamba, their attack, just broke through the courtyard wall, they were blocked more fiercely, and in the end, Lan Rongzeng chose to withdraw in order to avoid large-scale casualties.
It's not that it can't be defeated, on the one hand, under the vicious battle, the result is not easy to control, the safety of the living Buddha is not easy to protect, once there are any casualties, for the entire Mongolian strategy, there will be great problems, on the other hand, forced attack, casualties will definitely not be less, the northwest has always paid attention to the casualties of soldiers, not to mention special forces, if it is made of precious metals, or even gold, it is exaggerated, it is reasonable, strict training, elimination rate, almost intimate to the extreme equipment, these are not simple things, Not to waste here.
Two reasons, in the end, Lan Rongzeng suffered a big setback after arriving in Kulun, and the operation he personally participated in was not successful, although there was no major loss in personnel, and almost 200 monks and soldiers were killed, but unfortunately the strategic task was not achieved.
Leaving 30 snipers, pumping cold shots, shooting cold guns, and continuing to suppress the temple, Lan Rongzeng returned to the headquarters, and for a whole day, Lan Rongzeng was thinking about how to break through the temple's defense, but unless it was a large number of people, at least more than 500 people in the group impact, and even had to bear a certain number of casualties, it was almost impossible to break through the temple.
This is in a dilemma, Lan Rongzeng's subordinates are 800 people, distributed throughout Kulun, all of them are mobilized, and they can be captured, but what to do next, once the special forces have huge casualties, what to do next.
"Battalion commander!" The correspondent cautiously came to Lan Rongzeng's side, among the special forces, even as a communicator, it is necessary to lurk and have a certain combat ability, but it is only slightly worse than the real main member.
"What's the matter!" The guards are in charge of liaison, and if there is something wrong, they will definitely not come over to disturb Lan Rongzeng.
"The first division, the first regiment has arrived!"
"What, it's here, so fast!" Lan Rongzeng raised his eyebrows and said in some surprise.
In his thoughts, tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow, it is normal, their special forces, with the help of special methods, arrived in Kulen within 36 hours and began to operate, it has only been a few days, and the speed of the first division and a regiment is a little too fast.
The guard affirmed: "Yes, we received a telegram that they are already 30 kilometers south of Cullen, and it is estimated that they will stop at the highway station 10 kilometers away from Cullen and then come over." ”
"Let them stop first, rest on the spot, and we will launch a general attack together in the evening!" Lan Rongzeng's face was calm and excited, the first division was the strongest division in the entire Northwest Army, and the first regiment was the best among the first division, with 3,000 soldiers, enough to control the entire Kulun, and he could even carry out a strong attack, not like now, just a cold shot.
Attacking during the day, so that the raid became a strong attack, in Kulun he knew that the Mongolian cavalry, their combat effectiveness during the day and at night, there is a clear difference, night blindness personnel are not ordinary, on the contrary, the northwest because of the focus on eagles and collocation, especially for the intake of vitamins for night blindness, so that the proportion of night blindness among the soldiers, almost reduced to the lowest Cheng dù, night battle is the best choice.
Since it was a night battle, and it was necessary to maintain the suddenness of the surprise attack, it was not possible to let the first regiment come directly to the city of Kulun, and it was necessary to lurk in a position that could not be seen in the field of vision, and then wait until it was dark before choosing to come.
In a small valley south of Kulun, Lan Rongzeng met with Xiong Yanbin, the commander of a regiment, one of the two is the regiment commander and the other is the battalion commander, but the identity is similar, the special forces are at the battalion level, but the officers are equipped at a higher level, if Lan Rongzeng comes out, he can casually serve as a supervisor at the regiment level, or even a higher department, plus directly under Yang Yuanzhao, Lan Rongzeng's status can be compared with the division level.
Xiong Yanbin saw Lan Rongzeng for the first time, but the telegram contact along the way made him admire Lan Rongzeng very much, only brought about 800 people, and rushed into the city where all the enemies were enemies, facing the armed force of 10,000 people, for 3 days, not only controlled the situation of the entire Kulun from deteriorating, but also put them in an absolutely advantageous position.
As a qualified officer, or a relatively high-level, 3,000-strong team, in the northwest is called a regiment, but in the vast majority of China, can be called a big standard, or a small association, mixed into an association, such a status, among the officers, is also considered to be high-level, he is very clear, the difference between the army with grass-roots officers, and the army without grass-roots officers, senior officers may be important, but for a unit, the most important thing, I am afraid is the grass-roots officers, without the command of the grass-roots officers, The soldiers of the army can not form a small-scale cooperation or a joint force, a certain number of dù, the combat effectiveness has dropped by at least half, coupled with the cooperation of the special forces, under the cooperation of the inside and outside, they will use the method of surprise attack, directly approaching Kulun at night, and then assault in, with mental calculation or unintentional, the strength of the other party, I am afraid that even one percent will not be able to exert one.
After nearly two hours of consultations, Lan Rongzeng and Xiong Yanbin finally decided on the next steps, and it is necessary not to contact and prepare, otherwise, if there is a certain loss between the two troops, it will be more than worth the loss, and the joint force between the two must be brought into play as much as possible under the condition of security.
After discussing the complete plan, Xiong Yanbin also returned to the war room, built a war room behind a hill 5 kilometers away from Kulun, with the help of special luminous glasses, you can see Kulen 5 kilometers away, but after night, in the dark, it is not very clear.
Huge military maps, which are the work of the intelligence services, have drawn up detailed maps of the entire Kulen months ago, even more than a year ago, and every place, what the house looks like, what structure, where every street leads, is very detailed.
On this basis, Lan Rongzeng provided a lot of real-time information, for example, the location of the barracks, the stationing of cavalry units, and the location of more important personnel, etc., these seemingly simple contents, sometimes can affect the course of the war, after a comprehensive understanding of these, night will fall, and the time for action will begin soon.
In the special tents, hidden on the spot, did not build any positions or the like, and even sent personnel to patrol, in a ratio of 2:8, respectively, to rest, after about 8 hours of rest, strict training and su zhì, so that these soldiers basically recovered from the fatigue caused by long-distance running, the night has gradually fallen, the night in the north is always so deserted, today, it seems that it is still very lucky, there is no moonlight.
The moonlight of the first quarter moon is not very clear, and there are thick clouds today, not to mention that you can't see your fingers, but it is also relatively dark, 3000 people quietly gathered in the south of Kulun, Kulen's defenders did not notice at all, they are still cleaning up those who fight black guns, this is what they think, there are people who are dissatisfied with Mongolian independence, hiding and fighting black guns, the number will not be too much, they don't know, it is a powerful special forces, and they don't know, there is a regiment of 3000 fully armed fighters, It's already under attack.
3,000 people only took more than half an hour, lurking outside the city of Kulun, Kulen said that it is a city, in fact, it is just a wall of earth walls, not complete, at the appointed time, when 9 o'clock came, the head of the city, suddenly appeared orange firelight, and showed a zigzag swing, this is the agreed signal, the officer in charge of the command waved his hand, the first battalion first stepped forward, rushed into the doorway.
The city gate was no longer known when it was opened, and the soldiers defending the city were also cleared in a short period of time, and Cullen opened the gate R1152 in front of the first regiment
