Chapter 199: The Mongol Cavalry (2)

"Your Excellency, Commander, a large force of Mongolian cavalry has returned to the back of our army and carried out a large-scale attack on our army's supply lines, our rear has suffered heavy losses, many supplies have either been looted or burned, and in addition, some weakly defended strongholds have also been taken away by Chinese......"

"What?" Komatsubara, who had just sat down, popped again, "How many people?" ”

"According to incomplete statistics, there are no less than 20,000 people, and there may be more than ......"

"How did these Mongol cavalry come from? Aren't the cavalry of the Yanhuang Army in Heilongjiang? That's just Han cavalry, this Mongolian cavalry is only available to Li Guofeng, who is stationed in Mongolia......" At the mention of Li Guofeng, Komatsuba was shocked, "Could it be that you were transferred from him?" ”

In the end, the army finally determined that these Mongolian cavalry, sure enough, were transferred from the Mongolian garrison Li Guofeng, and when the army just set off from Rehe, these cavalry began to adjust the defense, the purpose was to conceal it, this Yanhuang army was really cunning, the men and horses were separated, and the cavalry was disguised as a troop transporting supplies, and after arriving in Hulunbuir, they changed with a part of the troops there, turned into cavalry, and became cavalry again, unknowingly, and the Mongolian cavalry that arrived in Hulunbuir was not only two divisions, but also three cavalry brigades, More than 30,000 people, what a huge force, in this vast grassland, it is simply a group of devil troops.

After the cavalry troops arrived in Hulunbuir, the headquarters of the Yanhuang Army specially ordered the cavalry troops to be equipped with perfect reconnaissance equipment, in this grassland, with enough information, this cavalry unit is undefeated, from the transmitter, telephone, and even to the reconnaissance plane, Wei Chendong was not stingy, he only gave an order to the cavalry troops, not to seek a decisive battle with the army, just on this vast grassland and fight with them, so that they have no time to separate, and helpless, give full play to Genghis Khan's strategy and tactics, the steppe is the vast home, I don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, I come and go without a trace.

Next, the Mongolian cavalry began their series of strategies and tactics such as disturbance, plunder, raid, etc., encountered a small group of troops, immediately annihilated, encountered a large force, harassed everywhere, and even openly appeared within a kilometer of the large army, openly provoked, encountered a weakly defended stronghold, immediately burned, encountered a stronghold with strong defense, divided troops to besiege, etc., etc., etc., so that the army ran westward, but there was nothing to be done, and when they gathered heavy troops to prepare for encirclement and suppression, the Mongolian cavalry was not in the vast grassland. Immediately disappeared, and when they separated, they came out of nowhere like ghosts, and the army was caught off guard.

The army tried to set up ambushes again and again to defeat the main force of the cavalry, but in this empty grassland, this plan is really not a good strategy, the Mongolian cavalry has a strong scout, and the horses used by the scouts are the best horses in Mongolia, even the best horses in the world, why? Because, these horses are personally bred by Wei Chendong, and they are improved breeds with magic mobile phones, not to mention the kind of horses like sweat and blood, but they will not be too different, not only fast, but also super endurance, those horse breeds of the army can't catch up, and watch them disappear without a trace, in addition, the Mongolian cavalry is also equipped with dozens of reconnaissance aircraft, which Wei Chendong specially ordered from the Soviet Union for this purpose, some soldiers, and even raised some eagles and falcons for reconnaissance, these birds with high intelligence, It can often achieve a lot of effect, and send first-hand information to the owner.

After several months of unlimited tracking and searching, the Yue army also sent a large number of cavalry to entangle with it, but after all, it was not possible, but suffered heavy losses, and finally made the cavalry of the Yue army as soon as they saw the Mongolian cavalry, without saying a word, turned their horses' heads and left.

The army finally came to a conclusion that it was basically impossible to eliminate this huge cavalry, and there was only prevention and prevention.

The Mongolian cavalry did not disappoint the headquarters of the Yanhuang Army, not only restrained a large number of troops, but also basically did not need the logistics of the Yanhuang Army to supplement them, the materials they needed were basically "sent" to them by themselves, and they couldn't give it if they wanted to, and even some of the troops were helpless to be disturbed by the cavalry of the Yanhuang Army, so they directly broke their fortunes to avoid disasters, took the initiative to throw down some materials, and then left.

In the end, the base camp had to change its combat policy, and it was obviously impossible to completely capture Hulunbuir, but the line supply of the Yan and Huang armies had to be cut off, and the other places said that the army could not control it, but the Huxi area had to be grasped in hand, and the strategic goal was achieved. After this period of delay with the Mongol cavalry, the speed of the march of the Yue army slowed down a lot, and the helpless Yue army had to reinforce a group of troops to stabilize the rear and control the important strongholds.

By the time the army spent a great deal of money to capture Dalai Sumu, the time had entered the end of the 33rd year. During this period, the battle in Heilongjiang never stopped, but there was no major battle, when the supply line of the Yanhuang Army was not cut off, the Kwantung Army headquarters did not want to fight a big battle with the Yanhuang Army, the damage was too great, and the Yanhuang Army did not have enough strength to take the initiative to seize the area obtained by the army, so the two sides in addition to creating some small friction from time to time, is to consolidate their own defense area, the two sides of the Chinese and said that the focus of attention is placed in the west of Hulunbuir, the final decisive battle seems to be coming, The Yan and Huang army has no way to retreat, and the army must take this place, this is a doomed war.

Looking at the Dalaidong Sumu and Manzhouli areas on the map, Xiao Matsubara frowned, and finally at the last moment, he must be fully prepared before he can start a war, otherwise, he will fall into the quagmire of war and cannot extricate himself, and if he wants to fight, he must take this place in the fastest, most resolute, and most violent way, otherwise it will be another battle of Nenjiang Bridge or the battle of Harbin, and the Kwantung Army cannot afford to consume.

At the beginning of the 34th year, the army stationed four divisions and regiments, with more than 80,000 people, on the periphery of the Dalaidong Sumu area, and was equipped with more than 90 warplanes, 100 tanks and more than 100 artillery pieces. In mid-January, Komatsubaru ordered more than 30,000 troops to make a roundabout way from Huxi directly around the Hulun sheep breeding station in the Dalai East Sumu area, so as to threaten Manzhouli, and then create a flanking attack on Dalai East Sumu.

Dalaidong Sumu has four divisions of the Yan and Huang Army, in late January, Komatsuba finally felt that he was almost ready, so he immediately launched a fierce attack on Dalaidong Sumu, and the defenders also carried out a fierce counterattack, the two sides fought in the dark, and fought continuously for a week, the army failed to capture the defenders' peripheral positions, and the unscrupulous army was in a hurry, and threw a large number of incendiary bombs and some prohibited weapons in Dalaidong Sumu, which was unanimously indignant by the Chinese people, but it did not dispel the sinister intentions of the invaders, The Yan and Huang troops were not intimidated by the ferocity of the invaders, and still tirelessly guarded their positions, but suffered heavy casualties.

Komatsubara immediately ordered the 30,000 people who had returned to the rear of Dalaidong Sumu to start attacking the defenders in order to lure the defenders out of Manchuria, but his plan was unsuccessful, and the Mongolian cavalry carried out effective support for the Dalaisumu area, and the 30,000 troops were chased by the reinforcements in Manchukuo and the Mongolian cavalry troops, and fled back in embarrassment, never daring to break through casually.

The battle situation in Hulunbuir has always affected the heart of the Yanhuang Army Headquarters, but Wei Chendong felt like no one else, and his heart was very hot, not long ago, he received secret news: The light tank of the Yanhuang Army has been developed, and the fighter is expected to be tested and put into production in the middle of the year.
