Chapter 317: Left Action
Gao Yang, who learned the news, could only accept this aura with a smile. He can't say that the sunglasses were originally issued to make the troops look good.
The troops on the left were strongly supported by transport airship units along the way. As long as the weather permits, there will be large-scale air resupply almost every day.
Although the road conditions are extremely bad, many of the plane's trucks have been worn out during the long march. However, the various advanced vehicles that Gaoyang brought from modern time and space played a huge role.
In contrast, the more delicate tanks No. 2 and No. 3 were loaded onto flatbed trailers. Jeeps and troop carriers are also very popular with officers and soldiers. Officers and men sat on various vehicles, lowered their awnings, smoked and ate, and played cards to kill time.
Coupled with the abundant supply of supplies, except for the first day of the war, there were no large-scale battles along the way.
The march of the troops on the left was not slow at all, and a few days after the start of the battle they were already rapidly approaching the first important objective, Kulen.
Kulen is located in the middle of the Mongolian Plateau, at the southern end of the Kent Mountains, on the banks of the Tula River, a tributary of the Orkhon River. The lowest temperature in winter can reach minus 40 degrees! Even though it's the end of March, the minimum temperature here can still reach about -20 degrees Celsius.
When the 19th Panzer Division's powerful search force entered the outskirts of Kulen with snowflakes flying in the sky. Many of the soldiers with weathered faces were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.
They spent several days in a row on the vast snowy fields that were deserted, which made the officers and men who came from the south feel very uncomfortable. Except for the occasional yurt on the thousands of miles of road, everything is white, and even professional soldiers will be very uncomfortable.
Until this moment, you can see the yurts dotting the sky in the distance and the buildings that barely have the outline of the city. The officers and soldiers finally got excited.
"It's kind of seeing people!"
"He must sleep in the house at night!"
"I don't need to drink snow water, I'm going to vomit."
"There are so many cattle and sheep, if you take them home"
"Why can't you see anyone?"
As soon as the mouth was full of the smell of flesh, the soldiers gathered together and began to talk about it.
Battalion Commander Chen Jisong, who was standing on the armored car and holding a telescope to observe, suddenly put down the telescope. Turning to his subordinates, he shouted, "Don't shout! Enemy troops are coming! Get ready for battle! ”
"Huh!" The officers and soldiers who originally got together to smoke and chat, and bragged and farted immediately showed the strength of their elite troops.
In a short time, dozens of armored vehicles and off-road jeeps were seated in combat readiness.
The officers and men, who were still laughing and relaxing their minds, instantly switched to combat mode. There was no laughter, and everyone's faces were grim, only the gum was still gently chewing in their mouths.
The engine of the vehicle starts, the muzzle turns, the bolt is pulled open, and the bullet is loaded.
Dozens of various vehicles lined up in a loose line, all pointed at the approaching cavalry in the distance.
Unlike the Cossack cavalry seen in pre-war intelligence. Along the way, the officers and men of the 19th Panzer Division encountered scattered cavalry on dwarf Mongolian horses. They are not white devils. All of them are yellow Asians.
As the cavalry on the opposite side got closer and closer, the officers and men of the search force were silent. His eyes gradually fell into indifference, and he pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, and his fingers were steadily placed on the trigger. They are the best in the Army!
Major Chen Jisong clenched the telescope in his hand, and the white snowflakes flying in the wind fell on his face, and then melted by the breath with body temperature. There was deep doubt in his eyes.
Through the high-powered telescope, you can see that the group of cavalry in the distance is not very numerous, that is, more than 100 horsemen.
Obviously, I have seen the strong strength of my side, so many armored vehicles and all kinds of vehicles. There were so many machine guns loaded, and the muzzles of the black holes shimmered with a cold sheen among the snowflakes flying in the sky.
Major Chen Jisong did not believe that the cavalry on the opposite side could be so brave that they were not afraid of death. Dare to rush over after more than 100 rides?
The cavalry on the opposite side stopped a kilometer away. A dozen horsemen in the middle gathered together. It's like they're talking about something.
"Sir, let's rush over. Just a few cavalry are not enough for us to stuff our teeth. One of his company commanders leaned over and whispered.
Major Chen Jisong glanced sideways at him and said in a deep voice, "We are a reconnaissance unit. It's not our job. Besides, what if there is a trap? ”
The company commander laughed. He said, "Sir, we are a mechanized army, and here is a wilderness with no eye in sight. Who can catch up when the fight is over? ”
Major Chen Jisong narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "What's the matter?" Want to go to war? ”
"I haven't fought much since the war! The brothers all have itchy hands. The company commander took out a cigarette and said with a grin.
Major Chen Jisong took the cigarette. Ignite. smiled and said, "You guys, you don't know anything about it."
"Sir! The enemy is coming! Before Major Chen Jisong could finish his words, the observer of the armored vehicle shouted.
Major Chen Jisong hurriedly threw away the cigarette in his hand and raised the binoculars to observe. Through the binoculars, he saw several cavalrymen leaving the queue in the distance, instigating their hips to gallop towards him.
"Huh?" Major Chen Jisong frowned slightly, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes, "What is this for?" It's not like an offense, it's like it's a negotiation. ”
He's right, he's here to negotiate.
Two years ago, the 8th Jebtsundamba Living Buddha suddenly passed away in Kulen. This incident caused great repercussions throughout the Mongolian plateau.
All Mongolians are Lamaists, and the 8th Jebtsundamba Living Buddha as the religious leader is the god in their hearts.
At the time, everyone believed that it was the hands of polar bears, and many Mongols rose up to resist. It's just that under the mass slaughter of polar bears, who have absolute superiority, it failed.
It was only at this moment that the Mongolians, who suddenly came to their senses, finally understood the evil intentions of the polar bear. They began to look south, intending to seek the help of the Millennial Overlord.
It was only in the last few days, when the elite soldiers under Gao Yang's command swept through the Far East with endless might, that these rebels who survived the massacre finally saw the hope of spring.
After the Far Eastern Special Army deployed on the border line was routed, the Polar Bear troops stationed in Kulen hurriedly fled in the direction of Ulan-Ude. I can't take care of Mongolia anymore.
The entire city of Kulen fell under the control of the remaining Jebtsundamba. While they were urgently looking for the reincarnated spirit boy of the Ninth Generation, they were anxiously waiting for the arrival of the Gaoyang troops.
Gaoyang, who was far away in Akinskoye, fell into deep thought after receiving a telegram from the 19th Division.
He was thinking about how to position Mongolia. First of all, the restoration of sovereignty is a must. Secondly, what about those who participated in the rebellion back then? You can't be as simple and brutal as the polar bears in the Far East. After all, they are all their own people.
Moreover, all Mongols are followers of Lamaism, and once they find the reincarnated spirit child, they will change back to their previous appearance, and they will still be a state within a state.
"There's no way, that's the only way to do it first. Strengthen control over there. Railways and highways were built, additional troops were stationed to keep a close eye on the movements of those at the top. The most important thing is immigration! As long as the Han Chinese are in the majority, Mongolia will never leave! ”
Gao Yang, who thought about it for a long time, finally made a decision. The status quo ante will be maintained for a short period of time. In the future, we will slowly strengthen our efforts, and we must not let them run away from their hands again!
After thinking about Mongolia, Gao Yang got up and left his temporary residence. As soon as I went out, I felt the smell of the battlefield in the air with the strong smell of gasoline.
During the days when the 6th Panzer Division was resting in Akinskoye, the rear troops and supplies were constantly arriving at the front. The entire city was transformed into a huge military camp within a radius of several hundred square kilometers.
I looked up at the warplanes whizzing in the sky and the huge transport airships hovering in the air in the distance, and looked around at the steel monsters that resounded with the sound of steel grinding to come and go. Gao Yang's eyes showed a faint look of relief.
All of this is the result of years of hard work. Now it's finally time to bear fruit.
"Everything that was lost before must be recovered! And add a huge amount of interest! Everywhere the chariot went. It's our territory! ”
Tilted his head slightly and said to Colonel Zhang Xinghai on the side, "Send a telegram to Li Heting and ask him to leave a division to garrison." The other troops immediately moved north and seized the time to move. Don't let the enemy on this side of the Far East run away. I'm going to fence them all up! ”
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Xinghai hurriedly responded.
Came to the headquarters of the 6th Division. When I looked up, I saw a bright star shining in the house. Not only General Wang Geng, but also the generals of the 22nd Mechanized Infantry Division and the 17th and 18th Light Infantry Divisions of the provisional formation.
"Commander-in-Chief!" Seeing Gao Yang come in, everyone put down their work and stood upright. Salute.
"Hmm." After Gao Yang returned a military salute, he looked at the young generals who were heroic and confident, standing in two rows. The corners of Gao Yang's mouth and eyebrows softened, and he chuckled and said, "Are you all ready?" ”
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" General Wang Geng helped his glasses, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice, "All departments in the cluster have been prepared. The officers and men have been rested, their equipment and weapons have been maintained, and supplies are now very sufficient. Everything is ready. ”
"Hmm." Gao Yang nodded, clapped his hands, and said, "Do what you plan, you are all professional, I believe you will do your best." I'm going back to Mukden to deal with some logistical supplies, so I'm not going to Chita with you this time. Remember, now we have the absolute advantage, don't be aggressive, play steady, and make the most of your advantages! ”
"Yes, sir!" The young generals responded in unison.
Gaoyang boarded and departed directly from the field airfield in Akinskoye. He wants to return to the modern time and space to retrieve the materials that Zhao Cheng has prepared. (To be continued......)
