After Wu Xiaoliang and Chu Qixiang divided their troops, they still led their troops to the west, and according to common sense, since their whereabouts had been discovered by the enemy, they should not continue to sneak attack. The guide Dorzi objected to this, believing that this was like sending sheep into the mouth of a tiger, and that it was best to change his strategy immediately, and to move west to occupy Kulen and then wait for work.

Many senior officers, including senior officers, agreed with the young guide's opinion that it would be very unwise to insist on going north to find Semenov's main force for a decisive battle after his whereabouts had been revealed and the weather was getting worse and worse. Wu Xiaoliang heard the staff officers talking nonsense, most of them were opposed, and said with a smile:

"Do you think that the strength of my Suidong Army is not enough to destroy this bandit?"

"This ......"

Everyone no longer answered, and no one was willing to say anything in front of the commander that would destroy their morale, but they didn't think so.

Wu Xiaoliang also saw that everyone was disapproving, so he patiently explained: "You think so, and the gangsters will also think so, they will not really be ready to fight to the death just because we have been exposed." According to common sense, since the intention of the military action has been exposed, military commanders with a little military knowledge will adjust their strategies in a timely manner, and it is impossible to carry out the original plan as it was. So what we are facing is still a group of bandits who are not ready for a decisive battle. As long as the Suidong army arrives at Aksha as quickly as possible, the suddenness of the tactics will still be there. ”

The officers were silent after hearing this, this was a complete gamble, who could be sure that Semyonov was not ready for a decisive battle? Just when someone wanted to refute it, Wu Xiaoliang spoke again.

"Even if they are ready, I still plan to gnaw on this hard bone, since our Suidong Army is here, we must play the fame of the Suidong Army, so that those mountain mandrills, wild ghosts, ghosts, and ghosts are frightened, the Soviet Russian army, which has an absolute advantage in Suidong, is not the same as the Japanese army, and these bandits are Cossacks in name, but in fact they are completely different from the well-trained Japanese army, they are a group of improvised rabble."

Wu Xiaoliang finally persuaded the senior officers present at the meeting that the troops continued northward, and after leaving Kundulin, the population became more and more sparse, there were hardly any herders in sight, and the grassland terrain became steeper and steeper.

Dorji stationed on the horse, pointed to the peaks in the distance and introduced: "General, there is the Kent Mountain in front, and after crossing this mountain, you will completely go out of Mongolia." ”

The withered grass is falling, the north wind is rising, and the birthplace of Genghis Khan is in front of him, and his descendants are now long gone with the domineering spirit of their ancestors who once despised all things in the world, and are caught in the midst of all forces. Wu Xiaoliang suddenly sighed in his heart, this land cannot be taken away by the Russians no matter what.

Without warning, the sound of breaking through the air was followed by the crackling of gunfire, and the infantry artillery joined the warband. Just when Wu Xiaoliang was surprised, the herald hurriedly came over.

"Report to the commander, there is a large force of Japanese troops ahead, and the first regiment has exchanged fire with it."

The presence of the Japanese army here surprised everyone, because Mongolia had always been the sphere of influence of the Russians, and no outsiders could interfere, but now that the Tsar had fallen and the imperial building across Europe and Asia collapsed, there was a power vacuum in these peripheries, and the Japanese buzzed like flies with a keen sense of smell staring at blood. I just didn't expect it to come so quickly, so blatantly.

After the Japanese army landed in Siberia and then controlled the vast areas of the Far East and connected the three eastern provinces, they did not expect that they would have a goal so quickly.

"How many Japanese troops are there? How many light and heavy weapons are there? ”

The herald replied:

"There is only one wing in terms of scale, and there are about ten 41 mountain guns with heavy firepower, several infantry guns, several Makqin water-cooled heavy machine guns, and several light machine guns."

When scouting the enemy, if there are so many that it is impossible to estimate the number for a while, several will be substituted. Wu Xiaoliang heard so much at once, and knew that the Japanese army in front of him must be armed to the teeth, and it was an extremely difficult bone to gnaw.

The staff officers hurriedly spread out the map, because they had been standing for many years, they did not have a detailed map of Outer Mongolia, and the map in their hands only had some simple topographical descriptions, as well as the approximate extent of the towns and tribal areas at the beginning. The Beiyang government sent down such a map to the troops to make a marching map, and the Beiyang army could not be defeated. Wu Xiaoliang looked annoyed, he estimated the shape of the battlefield, although this place is located in the foothills of Mount Kent, but there are no trees and jungles, it is still a meadow with no end in sight, this kind of terrain has no advantage in either offensive and defensive or defensive sides.

Therefore, the best way to deal with the Japanese at present is to fight the Japanese with the fast and the slow, and the more to fight the less. These two advantages are all possessed by the Suidong Army. So he sent a cavalry regiment to outflank the rear of the Japanese position and attack, and ordered the second regiment to detour to the left flank to attack the frontal battlefield.

The first regiment fought fiercely, and when it encountered the Japanese army at the beginning of the first day, it took the lead in firing the first shot. The commander of the first regiment was a Peking University student who joined the Suidong Army when Wu Xiaoliang was engaged in the college student army movement, and he had no good impression of Japan, and even this commander Wu hated the Japanese deeply, so when he saw the plaster flag turned over on the opposite side of the hillside, he did not hesitate to order fire.

The group of Japanese soldiers was obviously very surprised by the sudden appearance of a squadron, and originally wanted to send someone to negotiate, but who knew that the other party actually declared war without declaring war, so the Japanese commander briefly hesitated and brought the entire Japanese army wing to a very unfavorable situation. But it is also worthy of the well-trained Japanese army, not comparable to those of the Semenov gang, after the confusion of the starting division, the Japanese army quickly counterattacked, and even made several charges, and actually suppressed the first regiment to the death.

Wu Xiaoliang's location happened to be a depression, so he could only hear the crackling gunshots, but he couldn't see the changes in the shape of the battlefield at all. After the combat deployment continues, we can only passively wait for the results of the operation. But he still insisted on advancing to the battlefield with his headquarters until he was only separated from the battlefield by a high slope.

The exchange of fire between the Suidong army and the Japanese army became more and more intense, and the gray sky began to float with goose feather-like snowflakes, and the visibility began to become extremely low as the frequency of snow flakes fell, and it was difficult to see ten paces away.

Wu Xiaoliang wanted to rush up the high slope several times to find out, but was dragged back by his subordinates, and the high slope is the battlefield, so close to the battlefield, the stray bullet is not long-sighted, in case it is swept away, the morale of the Suidong army will inevitably plummet, and there will be a danger of the whole army being wiped out at that time.

In the middle of the dispute, the herald galloped back, rolled off his horse, stumbled a few times, and then stabilized his body. Wu Xiaoliang was worried about the battle situation, and asked without waiting for him to report.

"How did the cavalry regiment go?"
