Although the current 61st Army, the number of infantry is more than several times that of the cavalry, and the equipment is better than that of the cavalry. However, it is important to know that the predecessor of the 61st Army was the Xinghe Security Regiment, and before the establishment of the Security Corps, Chen Feng trained more than 2,000 Chen family grain protection teams, so the infantry of the 61st Army has a long history.

The cavalry is different, this is a blind spot of Chen Feng's department, it can be said that it was completely established on the basis of poverty and whiteness, and it has far exceeded Chen Feng's expectations to develop to the current point in just eight months.

After everyone arrived, Yeherina beckoned everyone to sit on the ground, and then said: "I just received a telegram from Deputy Division Commander Chen of the Special Operations Division, they have arrived at the periphery of Xilinhot, after reconnaissance, the 26th Division of the Japanese Army originally stationed in Xilinhot Kuroda Shigetoku and Yuhara Seiichiro have gone south to reinforce Duolun, and the Japanese army is also accompanied by two cavalry divisions and one infantry division of the puppet army, and now there is only one infantry division and one cavalry division of the puppet army left in Xilinhot, So I gathered everyone here to ask everyone how we should fight this battle. ”

Andrei, deputy commander-in-chief of the cavalry group, said: "If there were only puppet troops left in the city, then this battle would be much easier." As far as I know, in the more than half a year since the start of the war, although the losses of the Japanese army compared with the troops of the Nationalist Government were not large, the losses of the puppet army were not small, and the losses of the puppet army in our hands alone were no less than 50,000. Moreover, the puppet Mongolian army has not been in existence for a long time, and it has been less than two years since the full battle, so it can be said that the family wealth accumulated by King De and Li Shouxin in the past few years has almost been wiped out by us, and no matter how we fight, we will win. ”

"Commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, half of the soldiers in our regiment are soldiers who came over anyway The original pseudo-Mongolian soldiers, through heart-to-heart chats with these soldiers, I learned that these people were originally captured by the military police on various battlefields across the country, some were captured in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and some were captured on the Songhu battlefield, and then they were sent to the grassland, and then they were incorporated into the puppet Mongolian army, in fact, the vast majority of them were unwilling to give their lives to King De and Li Shouxin, so they rarely fired at our army when they started a battle, So we don't need to talk about any strategy at all, just let the special operations division's grandson help us open the city gate, and ensure that one charge is enough to break the defense line of those two devils. Li Haihan, commander of the Second Cavalry Regiment, said loudly.

The commander of the 6th Cavalry Regiment, Bazaat, retorted: "Commander-in-chief, I am a Mongolian, my hometown is in the Xilin Gol grassland, and I know King De and his troops better. The rest of the troops are just that, they really don't have much combat effectiveness, especially those newly formed units are even more rubbish, and it is not a problem for us to fight one regiment and one division of them. But there is a force we can not underestimate, as far as I know, King De has a personal guard, that is the beginning of the King of Germany's troops, all the soldiers are composed of their own tribesmen, and later expanded into the first and second divisions of the guard, the division commander is served by his brother, the main responsibility of these two divisions is to protect the safety of the king of Germany, and they will not be sent out in general, I think the two divisions left behind should be the famous guard division on the grassland. ”

"If that's the case, then we have to think in the long run, although based on the establishment of the puppet Mongolian army, the combined strength of these two divisions is only 12,300 people, slightly less than us, but if the combat effectiveness of these two divisions is comparable to ours, then our cavalry plan to attack Xilinhot may be in vain." Yeherina said with a frown.

"It is impossible to be on par with the combat effectiveness of our army, I think the combat effectiveness of the two guard divisions around King De should be about half of that of our army, even so, it is unlikely that we want to completely annihilate King De's troops and capture King De alive." Bazzat Road.

"Then what should we do, the military seat has high hopes for our cavalry group, and we can't let him down no matter what!" Andrei said.

"Commander-in-chief, King De's hometown is in Sunit Banner, not too far from our side. As far as I know, King De and his brothers who are division commanders have their own pastures and clansmen in Sunit Banner, and if we send a small force to attack the property of King De and others in Sunit Banner, there is a chance that King De's guard cavalry division can be transferred out of Xilinhot, and then we will ambush halfway or directly bypass this cavalry division to attack Xilinhot behind us. Bazzat said.

"The sixth regiment commander is right, just do it, according to the news from the intelligence department, not only the Japanese puppet army in Xilinhot City has gone south, but also the more than 10,000 Japanese puppet troops stationed in Sunit Banner have also gone south, so we don't need to send too many people, one battalion is enough." Yeherina said.

"Order: The first battalion of the 6th Cavalry Regiment immediately went north to the Sunit Banner to attack the old nest of the German king, and the other troops followed me to intercept and kill the reinforcements of the puppet army halfway."

"Yes"

Two hours later, the restless King of Xilinhot received angry news that the long-vanished Saibei Horse Gang had attacked his pasture in Sunit Banner, losing a large amount of cattle and sheep supplies. What angered him the most was the timing of these bastards, Sunit Banner as his hometown, King De has always attached great importance to it, and there is a cavalry division stationed all the year round, and no army has ever rushed there to stir up trouble, even the 35th Army of the Jin Sui Army, which was once strong, did not dare.

But after the garrison was urgently transferred by the Japanese army to the yellow flag, those bastards like gophers jumped out, if it weren't for his own guard division commander Yabal to dissuade him, he would have sent a large army to exterminate those bastards by now, Chen Feng's department can't afford to provoke himself, can't he still provoke a horse bandit.

However, what Yabal said is also reasonable, Chen Feng's department is full of tricks, and now the troops in Xilinhot City are empty, although there are still two divisions of defenders, but in fact there are only about 11,000 troops, and the combat effectiveness is far less than the previous guard division, the reason for this is of course known to King De. Since several wars, the backbone units of the puppet Mongolian army have suffered heavy casualties, and the newly formed troops do not have much combat effectiveness, and the puppet Mongolian army does not have its own military academy to train officers, so in desperation, the guard division has no choice but to regard the guard division as the cradle of the puppet Mongolian army to train grassroots officers, and a large number of guard division combat backbones and low-level officers have been drawn out to supplement various units in recent times, resulting in a rapid decline in the combat effectiveness of the guard division.

For the sake of Xilinhot and for the safety of King De himself, Yabal hoped that King De could endure the humiliation for a while, and wait until the army returned to Xilinhot before encircling and suppressing the hateful horse bandits, anyway, according to the report of the clansmen in the banner, the horse bandits only looked like less than 400 people, although they were rampant, but their destructive power was limited.

However, after less than an hour, the other officers of the puppet Mongol army could not sit still, because this horse bandit army did not finish looting and dispersed, after breaking up the remaining troops of the Sunit banner, this horse bandit actually entered the banner in a grand manner, and was arresting women everywhere, apparently trying to take them all away.

There has always been a habit of plundering women on the grassland, and women on the grassland, like cattle and sheep, belong to private property. If your family's property was robbed, you have to pay it back, isn't it just to make a fortune when you become an official, and for a while, those puppet army officers in Xilinhot City fell out and asked for war to return to the Sunit Banner.

King De originally had the intention of returning to the Sunit Banner, and seeing that so many officers were asking to return to the Sunit Banner, the King of Germany also pushed the boat down the river and ordered the First Cavalry Division of the Guard Division to immediately return to the Sunit Banner.

At about ten o'clock in the morning of December 26, a cavalry unit wearing sheepskin jackets unique to the steppe ran forward and whipped the horse's buttocks.

"Sulta, are those bitches still in the flag!" Bayangada, the commander of the cavalry guard division on horseback, shouted as he ran.

"Yes, but I'm about to leave, and Old Abba Ussuri sent a telegram to the prince half an hour ago, saying that those people will leave in an hour at most."

"Those bitches can't go fast at all with cattle and sheep and women, so let the brothers speed up." After speaking, Bayan Gada whipped his horse and galloped forward.

At the foot of a mountain less than 10 kilometers away from the cavalry guard division of the puppet Mongolian army, more than 14,000 riders of the cavalry group of the 61st Army stood neatly at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, a cavalry flew up and said loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, more than 5,000 people of a cavalry division of the enemy army have already crossed Haiwozi, and they will be able to reach here in half an hour." ”

"What is the enemy's marching formation, and have scouts been sent?" Yeherina asked in a deep voice.

"In an attacking formation, the enemy is very fast, but no scouts are sent."

"The whole army is ready for battle!"

"The whole army is ready for battle!"

With Yehelina's order, all the soldiers unsheathed their sabers, the leading standard-bearer raised the three-meter-high flagpole high, and the steppe wolf battle flag hunted in the breeze, and the battle was about to break out.
