Chapter 319: Murder Weapon
Muto Nobuyoshi had been very wary of this gang beforehand, the officers were from France, and the soldiers were from the Czech allies, and tonight they took the opportunity to mutiny, and the Japanese army immediately surrounded them because of their early preparations, Muto Nobuyoshi did not have the slightest mercy, and all the soldiers who laid down their arms and accepted the control were treated leniently, and those who did not obey the order to resist to the end were killed, and this night, the sound of guns and cannons in the city of Kulen shocked the princes and lamas into uneasiness, and the chaos did not gradually subside until dawn.
The Japanese army completely controlled Kulen, but Muto Nobuyoshi was not happy, the supply line from Manchuria was occupied by the Chinese people, and the supplies could not be transferred from the east by Mukden, and now, due to the mutiny of the Czech Corps, it was bloodily suppressed, once General Genan of Siberia misunderstood this and cut off the supply to Kulen, the consequences would be severe.
Muto Nobuyoshi decided to immediately send someone to Irkutsk to explain the situation to General Genan, if relations with Belarus were broken, this responsibility was something he could not afford, and the reason why the 6th Army Department did not hold him responsible for the defeat of Temple Street was largely because he was a rare Russian expert in the 6th Army, and this time he was transferred to the Manchurian garrison, in order to attack Mongolia this time, if he made another mistake on this issue, I am afraid that the future will be bleak, and it is difficult to have the opportunity to be ashamed of the Snow Temple Street, let alone be loyal to the emperor and the empire.
Thinking of this, Muto Nobuyoshi couldn't help but have some secret hatred in his heart, even if General Renan sent a guy with medium qualifications, he would not have the current situation that was difficult to clean up, why did he send such a fool.
Although there was a Chinese army that hit the city of Kulen and led the city to chaos, Muto Nobuyoshi also glimpsed some clues in it, such as the surprise attack of the Chinese people was very successful, in the case that they were not fully prepared, those low rammed earth enclosures outside the city of Kulen could not stop the footsteps of the siege troops, but they chose to retreat without even trying to attack, there must be something strange in this, is they just a small force infiltrated in.
If it weren't for Thomas's pursuit in the middle of the night and the result of a fiasco and capture, and the mutiny in the middle of the night, I'm afraid Muto Nobuyoshi would have thought of this problem a long time ago, and the branch army last night was probably a small force that infiltrated in.
……
In the Muksa headquarters, the staff officers and the regimental commanders had heated arguments, and they were deeply worried about the behavior of Brigade Commander Li Zhenqing leading a small detachment deep behind enemy lines.
Wu Xiaoliang is also very worried about the situation of his big brother Li, although he has always been calm and composed, and never fights uncertain battles, but this time is different from the past, the soldiers he brought, even the cavalry and infantry are only more than 500 people, facing the Japanese of a whole brigade, it is a bit of a moth to the fire, but if Li Zhenqing's squad succeeds in disrupting the defensive deployment in the direction of Kulun, it will be a good opportunity for the main force of the Suidong Army to enter and occupy Kulen and completely sweep away the western part of Outer Mongolia, although he already has an idea, But according to the convention, let the big guy speak freely first.
Tantai Jize is napping on the side, the quartermaster of the headquarters, a few days is indeed tired, from Hulun to Mukesa, along the way about the deployment of ammunition and grain and grass, almost all of them personally asked, this time he came with the first batch of material transport teams, just in time for the military meeting, but he was tired and dozed off on the spot, a staff officer next to him saw Wu Xiaoliang's eyes in a foreign land, and quickly raised his leg under the table and kicked him hard, Tai Jize opened his eyes suddenly, I saw Wu Xiaoliang looking at himself with a smile, realizing the gaffe, and smiling awkwardly.
"Director Tantai, tell me what you think."
Although Yutai Jize dozed off, he listened to the content discussed in the meeting, muttered for a while, and adjusted the ideas in his mind.
"Naturally, it is an immediate attack on the Kent Valley, and what the staff officers are worried about is that the fortifications in the valley are complete, and our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties in the attack, but I have transported six sharp weapons this time, and I can break this dilemma."
Speaking of this, Yutai Jize was drowsy because of the suitability, and when he spoke, he felt a little thirsty, picked up the water tank on the table, and poured it up, and everyone including Wu Xiaoliang was attracted by his murderous weapon, and they all watched him continue after speaking.
Who knew that this old guy patted his head after drinking water and thought about it for a long time, and said something that almost made everyone vomit blood.
"Where did I just go?"
Yutai Jize touched his head and smiled awkwardly, he has been tossing so tightly lately, he can't get rest day and night, and this bad memory is a bad mistake again.
"Speaking of sharp weapons."
"Don't sell it, what the hell is this weapon?"
Everyone urged him to say it quickly, and it was suddenly clear to him.
"Yes, yes, speaking of sharp weapons, this sharp weapon is the 120 mm caliber wheeled cannon that Vladivostok Xinjin bought in Germany."
The officers here are all the best in the 6th Army, who does not know the role of artillery in battle, on weekdays they use 74 mm caliber guns, this 120 mm caliber is already twice the size of the cannon, and it is a wheeled gun that is easy to move, this is simply a weapon of war, with this thing what fortifications can not be beaten.
Yutai Jize was very satisfied with everyone's surprise, and stretched out the thumb and little finger of his right hand, "I brought a total of six guns this time, and there are also thirty base high-explosive shells, so the artillerymen can have a good time." ”
These guns were bought by Sun Jiayu from Germany, and the cargo ship Guò arrived in Vladivostok a month ago, and there were six 80-millimeter wheeled cannons on board, as well as Mauser rifles, Makqin heavy machine guns and all kinds of ammunition, and the cargo ship with a displacement of 8,000 tons was almost full of munitions, miraculously evading the Japanese Navy's investigation, and arrived in Vladivostok along the way. This time, Sun Jiayu transported the arms like charcoal in the snow.
With the large-caliber cannon, the opinions of the staff officers and regiment commanders began to become unanimous, and they all expressed their stance that they should immediately launch a surprise attack on the mountain pass, enter the grasslands west of the Kent Mountains, and encircle and annihilate the Japanese troops entrenched in Kulen.
After the meeting, 12 cannons were equipped with the artillery regiment of the 1st Mixed Brigade, and due to Li Zhenqing's absence, the team was temporarily under the personal command of Wu Xiaoliang, and at the same time, a large number of German-made weapons transported with the 1st Mixed Brigade and the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division were also reequipped.
