806 newest artillery combat vehicles
Those Mongolian prisoners of war were also behind him, of course, they did not come on horseback, but in a carriage, seeing that Prince Bakhtum knelt down to the Chinese officials, they also knelt down one after another, expressing their submission, Niu Dalong was very happy, and returned to the barracks with Prince Bakhtum and the Mongolian prisoners of war.
Back in the barracks, Niu Dalong put Prince Bakhtum and the prisoners of war back, Prince Bakhtum repeatedly promised that he would never dare to confront the Chinese Empire, and said that he would go back to advise all Mongolian brothers to submit to Emperor Fei, who was their "Great Khan".
Prince Bakhtum didn't tell a lie, and after returning to Mongolia, everyone said how powerful Emperor Fei was, which scared Zhebuzun Danba enough, and suddenly surrendered to Lin Fei.
Of course, the Russians will not watch Zhebuzun Danba succumb, so they scared Zhebuzun Danba, Lin Fei said, no matter whether Zhebuzun Danba surrenders or not, Lin Fei will catch Zhebuzun Danba, and then send it to Dayu City to kill, as for the princes and brothers of Zhebuzun Danba, they will all be sent to Dayu City to be killed, and the concubines and princesses will be sold into brothels by Lin Fei.
The Russians are not clever at all, there are no brothels in the Chinese Empire, and the Russians are not clever in making up nonsense, but in the closed Mongolia, Zhebuzun Danba really believed, so Zhebuzun Danba stepped up his defense, but for Prince Bakhtum who spread the "Chinese threat theory" everywhere, Zhebuzun Danba had no way to punish him, because Prince Bakhtum was a prince, had a fairly vast land in Mongolia, and had his own livestock and troops, and Zhebuzun Danba couldn't help him.
Although Zhebuzun Danba was actively preparing for defense, the Mongol army was already timid before fighting, and no one even dared to attack the railway maintenance team of the Chinese Empire.
Once again, the Russians thought of using diplomatic means to solve the Mongolian problem, so Russia wooed Britain, Germany, and France, but these countries ignored Russia, and on the contrary, Britain suddenly sent a secret envoy to meet Lin Fei.
Since the First World War in the South Seas, the relationship between the Chinese Empire and Britain has been extremely poor, and Lin Fei could never have imagined that Britain would send a secret envoy to contact him.
Lin Fei met with the British envoy, but he did not expect the British envoy to propose that Britain was willing to support Lin Fei in encroaching on Russian territory in Siberia.
This is really "no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests", the Chinese Empire and Britain, in the First World War and the Second World War, fought each other, and now Britain actually came to support the Chinese Empire.
Lin Fei asked the British envoy: "You can't support us in vain, let's talk about it, what benefits do you want?" ”
"We want to resume normal trade with the Chinese Empire and import gasoline, synthetic materials, fertilizers and movies from the Chinese Empire." It turned out that Britain was also the same as the United States at this time, began to develop the automobile industry, and the development of automobiles required the use of gasoline, and the gasoline of the Chinese Empire, whether in terms of output or quality, was the world's top, how could Britain not use it.
As for Russia's Siberian territory, Britain will not get benefits anyway, so it is better to be a favor and support the Chinese Empire to occupy it.
Lin Fei happily agreed to the British, and the British offered to buy the gasoline production technology of the Chinese Empire at a high price, but Lin Fei flatly refused.
Britain traded with the Chinese Empire, France and Germany also began to trade, and Russia became an isolated country.
Winter passed quickly, and the time came in April 1903, when the weather was getting warmer, Lin Fei decided to send troops to Mongolia.
In order to make sending troops to Mongolia appear reasonable and legal, Lin Fei promulgated the "National Unification Law" in February 1903, which stipulated that all individuals, organizations, and groups that split the Chinese Empire would be sentenced to "separatism" and the mastermind could be sentenced to death.
On April 10, 1903, Lin Fei instructed the Supreme Court to hold a trial in absentia against the Mongol Emperor Zhebuzundamba, and the court declared that Zhebuzundamba was guilty of "separatism" and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
As soon as Lin Fei's order was given, Niu Dalong immediately led the 1st Northeast Division, the 2nd Northeast Division and the 1st Armored Division to form an advance force, and went straight to the Russian stronghold, Nerchensk, along the railway, to capture Nerchensk, so as to relieve the worries of attacking Mongolia.
On April 15, Niu Dalong came to the city of Nerchensk and sent an envoy into Nerchensk to meet with Shepchenko, the commander of the Nerchensk garrison.
Russia also realized the importance of Nerchensk in the defense of the Mongols, and deployed 30,000 Russian troops here, but these Russian troops were poorly equipped, demoralized, and extremely ineffective.
Niu Dalong's envoy told Shepchenko that the Huaxia Army was about to carry out a capture operation against Zhebuzundamba, and in order to prevent the Russian troops in Nerchensk from being injured by mistake, they hoped that all the Russian troops would withdraw from Nerchensk and retreat 50 kilometers.
The Huaxia army is becoming more and more "shameless", they want to fight Mongolia, and they even let the Russian army, which has nothing to do with Mongolia, abandon the city and retreat 50 kilometers, Shepchenko of course cannot agree.
Shepchenko expelled Niu Dalong's envoy, Niu Dalong sneered again and again, since the Russians are disobedient, let's go to war.
Niu Dalong ordered the 1st Panzer Division to launch an attack on Nerchensk, the Russian army in Nerchensk was seriously lacking in anti-armor weapons, and was not at all an opponent of the fire of invasion, and the fire of invasion fired a volley, and the positions of Nerchensk were covered with corpses.
Shepchenko saw that the Chinese army was really difficult to resist, and soon announced his surrender, and Nerchensk, a historical city, fell into the hands of the Chinese Empire.
The duration of the Battle of Nerchensk was less than three hours, which could not help but make Niu Dalong proud, Niu Dalong ordered his troops to accelerate the march to Ulaanbaatar, capture Ulaanbaatar in the shortest possible time, and capture Jebuzundamba alive.
Just when Niu Dalong was full of confidence and waved his army forward, a caravan suddenly appeared in front of the Huaxia army, and the people in this caravan were all Russians, looking suspicious, and it seemed to be Russian spies.
The soldiers of the Chinese Empire quickly arrested the caravan and interrogated it, and the caravan actually said that they wanted to see Niu Dalong and have an important report.
The soldiers of the Huaxia Empire immediately reported the news to Niu Dalong, who met with the caravan leader with suspicion, and the team leader told Niu Dalong that it was the "Desert Rose" who asked us to come.
When Niu Dalong heard the name "Desert Rose", his heart immediately moved, because this name was the code name of Vikalia, and only the top of the Huaxia Empire knew about Lin Fei's dispatch of Vikaria into Mongolia.
Niu Dalong hurriedly asked, "What does the Desert Rose want to tell us?" ”
"The Russian army in Mongolia is equipped with the latest artillery and combat vehicles, so you must be careful when attacking."
"The Russian army has the latest artillery combat vehicles?" Niu Dalong was very skeptical, "When we captured Nerchensk, we didn't see artillery combat vehicles, how could the Russian army in Mongolia have?" ”
"According to our analysis, it is very likely that the Russian army has equipped the latest artillery combat vehicles with the Russian army in Mongolia in order to enhance concealment, so as to catch you off guard."
"Then what does the latest artillery combat vehicle of the Russian army look like and what is its performance?"
"Well...... We don't know, we only know that the Russian army has artillery tanks, as for the performance, we don't know at all, but it is said that these artillery tanks were purchased from Germany and secretly transported to Mongolia a month ago. ”
"I see." Niu Dalong said that he sent the Russian caravan away, and now he didn't dare to move forward quickly, if the enemy also had artillery chariots, then their tactics could be varied, and they had to deal with it carefully.
At this time, there are still more than 800 kilometers away from Ulaanbaatar, and if you rely on the railway to maneuver, you need to walk for two days, Niu Dalong is worried that the Russian army will use artillery and chariots to ambush on the way, so he decided to stay in Nerchensk for two days and wait for the 3rd and 4th Northeast Divisions in the back.
Niu Dalong also sent a message to Lin Fei, "The Mongolian Russian army may be equipped with the latest artillery fighting vehicles, and our two hundred artillery fighting vehicles may not be enough, I hope Your Majesty will send the Second Armored Division and other troops to support us." ”
At this time, Lin Fei had four armored divisions and 800 plundering artillery fighting vehicles, of which the second armored division was stationed on the Korean border, the third division was stationed on the Mongolian border, and the fourth division was stationed in the Western Desert Province.
In 1864, Tsarist Russia forced the Qing government to sign the Sino-Russian Treaty on the Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary, seizing 440,000 square kilometers of land in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty.
In 1881, through the Sino-Russian Ili Treaty and several subsequent boundary demarcation protocols, Tsarist Russia forcibly occupied more than 70,000 square kilometers of land in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty.
510,000 square kilometers of land was swallowed alive by Russia, and in Lin Fei's era, Lin Fei was powerless, and in this era, Lin Fei not only had to take back these lands, but also let the Russians return them doubly.
Lin Fei thought about it again and again, the second and fourth divisions needed to deter South Korea, Japan and Russia, and they couldn't move, so he decided to send the third division to attack Mongolia, Niu Dalong's attack direction was northern Mongolia, and the third division was southern Mongolia, and the north and south were flanked, so that Mongolia and Russia behind them would lose one or the other.
To attack Mongolia, of course, Lin Fei will not only dispatch an armored division, Lin Fei will also dispatch the Inner Mongolia division to form a powerful synthetic corps.
The Inner Mongolia Division is the army formed by Lin Fei, this force is all composed of Inner Mongolians, when Yu Ningshuang led a force to expedition to Mongolia, the result did not hit Ulaanbaatar, but only subdued the princes of Inner Mongolia, and later Lin Fei selected the elite from the subordinates of these princes and formed the Inner Mongolia Division.
