The sound of spiky gunfire resounded across the grassland, and Dormer commanded more than 170 people, divided into three groups, to attack from the north, west, and southwest directions.

Liu Lifa hurriedly mobilized the people in the company to defend, and several of them hit Liu Lifa's big feet in their butts, Liu Lifa looked at his clumsy subordinates, a little crazy. However, fortunately, the situation on the side of the bandits was even worse, and the attacks on several sides could not be coordinated at all. Fortunately, he has met an opponent who is more abusive than himself, Liu Lifa couldn't help but think.

"Kill all these Han people!" Budansang is a burly man, one meter tall and more than seven, it is a cold winter, it is the cold time on the grassland, he wears a lot, sits on the back of the horse like a hill, fortunately the horse under the seat is also very powerful, otherwise the sprint down these hundreds of meters may not be able to eat hard.

"Steady, don't panic, hold the gun well, listen to my orders and shoot again, shoot at the horse, don't just think about hitting people." If you lose, you will not lose the battle, especially in this kind of encounter at the moment, first of all, you must not fall into your own prestige, otherwise the morale will be discharged, and the enemy will definitely become more motivated.

300 meters, 200 meters, 180 meters, 150 meters, first row, shoot!

With Liu Li's thunderous roar, the first round of eight soldiers' platoon guns fired. This was followed by a second round of platoon guns. More than a dozen cavalry rebels rushed at high speed in front, and suddenly people turned over on their backs, and the horses carrying people in front neighed miserably on the ground, splashing a piece of gray dust. The Mongolian people above fell to the ground at the same time, and it seemed that they had fallen badly, sliding for three or four meters, and were either too late to dodge by the horses behind them, or fell to their deaths, and few lucky people were able to escape to a safe position.

Shoot in the second row!

There was a sound like fried beans, and four or five more people fell off their horses in shock. Some horses were shot at each other, and a few riders were not very good at heart, and when they saw the people around them who seemed to have been hit and fell from their horses, they tripped over the horses in front of them in a panic. With normal riding skills, such a low-level mistake would never be made.

The remaining six or seven people saw that most of the people who had charged together just now were killed or wounded, and they did not dare to continue to charge. Running through the flanks of the enemy on the opposite side with the reins, he did not dare to attack easily.

"Good, good fight!" Liu Lifa's closest people took the lead in yelling. Cheer yourself up.

The battle on the side under Liu Lifa's personal command went smoothly, but the other two sides were much more difficult, and in a sporadic battle, bullets scattered and flew in all directions, and people on both sides were killed and wounded. However, on the whole, the casualties of the Mongol army as the attacking side were much greater. In the first attack, the casualties of the Mongolian army reached more than 20 people. Seeing that Dormo was angry and anxious, he attacked again, throwing down more than a dozen corpses, and the other side also killed and wounded five or six people. After more than a fifth of the casualties, Dormer, under the admonition of his henchmen, began to calm down and no longer attack blindly.

At this time, Liu Lifa also affirmed that these people on the other side were Mongolian soldiers, and they were ordinary bandits. Not stupid enough to gnaw hard bones. Often, a little bit of an idea is too costly. will give up on the goal. These people in front of you are clearly not.

"Gather your formation and prepare to retreat!" The military literacy of the rebels in front of him is too poor, and there is nothing to do with him, but the ants bite the elephant to death, and when its reinforcements arrive, they can't leave if they want to. What's more, he can only be regarded as a half-asser at best. It's just a little bit more organized than the bandits.

After suffering Liu Lifa's loss just now, Zhilu Dao This Han army is not like other ordinary herdsmen in Inner Mongolia, who can be manipulated, and seeing Liu Lifa leading his troops to retreat, Duomo did not attack again. Instead, it hangs far behind it.

On the way to retreat, Liu Lifa encountered a lucky and an unlucky thing. Fortunately, the defenders of a battalion on the side of Baren Jerim Town joined Liu Lifa when they retreated. Unfortunately, the 3rd Battalion was also pursued and retreated by the Mongolian army, and along with the 3rd Battalion, there were five or six hundred Mongolian troops. The Mongolian army, which had a strength of more than 700, was even more arrogant, and forced another attack in the middle, Liu Kangning led 3 battalions to fight and go, and continued to retreat in the direction of Tuquan. In the evening, they forcibly broke into the Dujierhua Lama Temple, and at the very moment, the 3rd Battalion took control of the Lama Temple in an instant, and at the same time defended according to the structure of the temple, and made a short rest.

After two hours of repair, the rebels again attacked fiercely from the northwest heights of the Lama Temple. The 3rd battalion resisted stubbornly according to the lama temple, fought until 11 o'clock in the evening, the Mongolian bandits lost more than 60 people, the moon hid in the clouds at night, and torches were played everywhere, the leader of the Mongolian army felt that it was inconvenient to fight, and wanted to stop fighting again in the coming day, but unexpectedly the heavy rain fell, the earthen wall in the northwest corner of the horn temple fell into disrepair for a long time, and collapsed violently, so that there was a gap in the defense of the 3rd battalion. More than dozens of Mongolian troops once attacked the Horn Temple, and the situation was critical. The commander of the 3rd battalion personally led a company to block the gap, and killed all the Mongolian troops who broke in, under the threat of death, the 3rd battalion broke out with unprecedented combat strength, fierce fighting for an hour and a half, heavy rain continued, both sides of the battle were drenched in the rain, they were cold and hungry, the Mongolian army could not hold on, and the troops retreated.

"Brigade Commander Yang, the rebels have entered the Tuquan area, which has had a very adverse impact on the supply of wool and cattle and sheepskins in Taonan, if the rebels cannot be eliminated in time, the production of wool and leather goods will be reduced by at least three to four percent next year."

When the rebels first arrived, with Taonan as the center, some herdsmen who raised livestock on the periphery took their belongings and drove their cattle and sheep to Baicheng in Taonan for refuge. Tian Helin is also very anxious about this situation, although after Qin Yu's reminder, wool spinning and leather goods factories have accumulated a large number of production raw materials, and the situation will not be as serious as he said, but at present, the two major factories as Taonan support enterprises are in a period of rapid expansion, and a reduction in output means a net income of tens of thousands. Hundreds of thousands, I don't know how many private schools can be built, just buying food can buy 30,000 or 40,000 quintals, piled there, can be piled as high as a mountain.

According to the information provided by the division, the number of Mongolian troops who came this time reached more than 12,000 people. Although the cavalry brigade is not afraid, it will divide its troops to defend Baicheng, Jing'an, and Taonan, and the 53rd Brigade of the 27th Division will arrive soon. Annihilate the invading enemy. ”

Yang Xing explained that it has been nearly six years of development since Qin Yu's garrison in Taonan, hundreds of thousands of immigrants have been reclaimed, and the construction of factories has laid a solid foundation for the development of Taonan. When the rebels go south, they are bound to covet the wealth of Taonan, where there is a future wool and leather goods center in Mukden, and Qin Yu would rather be conservative than take any risks. If it is brought in by those rebels, it will be no less than a disaster for Taonan, where industry is beginning to take shape.

"Just past a plague, and another military disaster, our Taonan is really full of disasters." Tian Helin sighed. "I hope that Brigade Commander Yang can exterminate the rebels as soon as possible, otherwise many traders in Taonan will be affected."

Mayor Tian rest assured. This is also the meaning of the division, but the march and battle also have a measure, I can't afford to miss a mistake, the rebels are just a group of newly armed herdsmen, the danger is great, but the combat power is not strong. If you scare them away, it will be inevitable to go around looking for trouble, and when they get closer, they will find out the main force. Cavalry brigades can be done once and for all. ”

"Since the division seat has been arranged, I am relieved." Tian Helin nodded, "The rebels are attacking in a big way, Taonan, Baicheng is not very stable, people are excited, and some foreigners also want to evacuate, I have to appease their emotions." Speaking of which, I have to borrow Brigade Commander Yang's men and horses, so that they can see that the Fengtian soldiers are strong and strong, and make up their minds. ”

"This is easy to do, I will send two battalions to the city to go around and appease the people." Yang Xing nodded and said, the morale of the cavalry brigade is high, and from the perspective of equipment alone, except for the lack of artillery power, the allocation of other aspects is the best in the Republic of China. Usually hard training, ample food supply, morale is high.

"Traveler!" The chief of staff of the cavalry brigade walked in.

"Brother Ziqin, what's the matter?"

"When the 1st Reconnaissance Company expanded its reconnaissance range to the west, it encountered the 1st Battalion of the Green Battalion, which had retreated from the Right Banner of the Rehe Karaqin, and the rebels divided into four or five units and attacked Tuquan respectively. Karaqin right rear flag, middle flag and other places. At present, our reconnaissance company has engaged in sporadic exchanges of fire with the rebels. ”

Yang Xing looked at the map, the rebels were already very close to the periphery of Taonan, "Calculate the time, the cavalry regiment of the 27th Division should be able to arrive this evening, and then send a telegram to the 53rd Brigade, and tell Li Chengwen that the rebels have arrived outside the city of Taonan, and I will lead my troops to attack one after another, please work harder for the 53rd Brigade to arrive as soon as possible and take over the defense of Taonan." ”

"The huge Republic of China, even the small Outer Mongolia dares to rebel." After the order went down, Yang Xing sneered and couldn't help but sigh, "The unified command of the War Department, in the final analysis, it is still the provinces that fight their own battles, each sweeping the snow in front of their own doors, fortunately the enemy is only the uncivilized rebels of Outer Mongolia, the battle has been fought like this, if it is really a war with Japan and Russia, the consequences are worrying!" In the entire Northeast, our Fengjun is going uphill, like a little bit. ”

Under the influence of Qin Yu, Yang Xing, Li Chengwen, Chen Shengwu, Sun Liechen and other senior generals in Fengtian would pay attention to the current situation of the development of the following strong armies from time to time. Yang Xing and others, who have a high vision, are very blind to other local armies.

"These high-ranking generals, overseers, those who are as far-sighted as teachers, after all, are a minority, and the Northeast directly faces the double pressure of Japan and Russia, and the pressure on the shoulders of our soldiers is even heavier." Gao Weiyue said with a smile, "It can also better reflect the ability of the division to organize the army and run the military, with the wealth of Taonan, it is more than enough to raise two divisions, I heard that the situation in Benxi is also very good, I think if the division takes over Fengtian, in less than three years and five years, Fengtian alone can raise an army of 100,000." ”

"100,000 troops, wouldn't you and I have become the commander of a division." Yang Xing said with a smile.

"As long as the brigade seat does not make mistakes, it is safe to be the commander of the main division, and the humble position is still a bit hanging." Gao Weiyue said modestly.

"If it's really an army of 100,000, you can't run away as a division commander. The chief of staff of our cavalry brigade is no worse than that of a mixed brigade. But this is just a joke, even if the division can expand the army of 100,000, it will only need the consent of the president, the president's six towns in Beiyang have just begun to spread now, and there will be 100,000 in Fengtian alone, and the president will probably be uneasy.
