Chapter 382: Outer Mongolia 4
"Now it is difficult for the Republic of China to continue the story of Dingyuan, and there are only three mountains and two basins left in the huge Xinjiang." In a dilapidated house in Dihua that didn't look very conspicuous, an old man in his sixties who looked very ordinary, with a gray beard, stood in front of a map of the northwest with a fly dump and sighed.
"Marshal, now that the defeated army of Belarus is moving south, there are more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians in the Alenkov Department alone, and this is not counting the sporadic sporadic gathering of thirty-one gangs, fifty-one groups, and one or two hundred people on the border." Zhang Mingyuan, director of the Department of Military Affairs, frowned and said, "Now the total number of soldiers and horses in the whole Xinjiang is only 10,000. There is less than one person and one shot, and trying to stop the defeated White Russian army with all guns is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. ”
"The top priority is to expand the army, and only by expanding the military strength of Xinjiang can we confront the Russian army. Alenkov said that he would borrow land in Xinjiang to recruit troops for food, and the consumption of the troops would be paid by the Tsarist Russian government in the future. Zhang Jian is also one of the few generals in Xinjiang, has twice led the army to defeat the invasion of Xinjiang Mongolian rebels, at this time facing almost ten times the Tacheng defenders, and the remnants of the well-armed White Guards, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of panic, at this time he is responsible for the defense of Tacheng, the defenders are only more than 3,000 people. As a person who knows the army, he naturally knows what kind of disaster will be caused by Alenkov once he knows the truth and truth in Xinjiang under such circumstances.
"Let's expand the cavalry of two battalions, with the current financial resources of Xinjiang, it can only go so far." Yang Zengxin said.
Zhang Jian was speechless for a while, the strength of the three battalions was less than 2,000 cavalry, which was tantamount to a drop in the bucket for the White Guards surging south.
"Although the White Russian army is powerful, it does not know the internal situation in Xinjiang, and there is a pursuit by the Red Russian army, so it will definitely not dare to occupy Xinjiang lightly. to worry about being attacked from both sides. Having cut off its own way of retreat, Xinjiang should attack from all directions and actively guide Belarus to disarm and enter Xinjiang, supply food, and choose a place for resettlement. A group of thirty or fifty people, one or two hundred people. It will definitely not dare to confront the Xinjiang army. As for the Alenkov, it is advisable to send someone to discuss with him about abandoning his weapons and entering Xinjiang, and the central authorities have already sent a clear telegram that the 1st Division of Shaanxi, the 1st Division of the Central Army, and the 1st Cavalry Brigade will enter Xinjiang at a certain date. After surviving these two months, the crisis in Xinjiang will be over. ”
Yang Zengxin explained that Xinjiang is financially struggling. On the one hand, it is related to his inaction, and on the other hand, the central government has almost forgotten Xinjiang, and since the establishment of the Republic of China, there has not been a penny of money to support Xinjiang. Compared with the strategy of other provinces for many years, opium cultivation is wantonly and the people are struggling to make a living, and Xinjiang at this time can be regarded as a paradise.
"Just do as the marshal said, and first make a forced landing on a small group of defeated White Russian troops. At the same time, he sent people to negotiate with Alenkov, and the central government has ignored Xinjiang for so many years. Now he suddenly said that he was going to send troops to Xinjiang, and Xinjiang has no oil and water to work on, so I really don't know if it's true or not. It's not like the previous ones, to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Speaking of the central government, Jiang Songlin said with a grumbling stomach, mentioning the central government. Who here is not angry? Over the years, apart from sending officials to Xinjiang twice to grab plates, what else has the central government done?
"This time, the Yushuai in the Northeast entered the customs and drove Duan Qirui away, but he still did some practical things. But in the end, he is younger, and he has to look at Shu. This is the same as just pacifying the north, and even so many provinces in the south have not completely surrendered to the central government, they began to send troops to Outer Mongolia on a large scale, and they have to fight with Red Russia, which is too anxious. Yang Zengxin said angrily.
"What, the Central Committee is going to fight with Red Russia? What's going on? Yang Feixia asked, in the whole of Xinjiang, only Yang Zengxin's Dihua radio station can communicate with each other. Correspondence between Xinjiang and inland provinces is also subject to strict scrutiny, and newspapers such as Ta Kung Pao are banned in Xinjiang. Even Yang Feixia, who has been taking care of the border defense for a long time, is not very clear about what is happening in the central government, which is a great miracle in the Republic of China.
"The current Minister of National Defense, Qin Yu, said that he wanted to recover the land occupied by Tsarist Russia during the former Qing Dynasty. In the absence of the expulsion of White Russia, the relationship with Red Russia was ruined, and it was really a wise man who did not take it. Yang Zengxin shook his head and sighed.
"It's better than the previous ones, dare to argue with the Red Russia, didn't Qin Yu also recapture the Middle East Road from more than 100,000 White Russian troops, I think it's rare for the central government to have a bloody authority." Yang Feixia said.
"No matter what happens to the central government, let's still do a good job of what we have at hand, first settle down the defeated White Russian army in the south, and then pin our hopes on the central government, if the central army is late or even doesn't come, we will lose our official affairs, and millions of people in Xinjiang will be miserable." Zhang Jian didn't expect Lao Shizi Central Army to solve much difficulty, and said directly.
"That's right, it's better to rely on the sky and the earth, it's better to rely on yourself, this---pulling Central Army is unreliable."
…………
The originally unprosperous city of Kulen was in ruins, and from time to time low houses were reduced to rubble in the shelling.
The crazy baron is crazy, at least many White Guard generals, including the adjutant, think so, even the crazy baron Enchen only knows that the Republic of China in the south has just issued a news that the army will immediately march north, and it is still unknown where the army will go for the time being, and the Kulen in front of him is about to open, and a large amount of gold, silver and wealth will be open to him. Even if this outer Mongolia can't stay still, he has to rob a fortune, so that he can live in a rich family in the future, otherwise he has no money and no soldiers, and if he goes to Western Europe, will he let him, a noble nobleman, beg along the streets?
"Fire!" Engean aimed more than a dozen artillery pieces at Kulen and bombarded them indiscriminately, but if it weren't for the lack of shells, he would have destroyed the small city in front of him.
"Quick, go up, Lao Maozi is about to start attacking." The sound of the cannon became quieter, and Hu Shouxin shouted, and with more than 100 soldiers in the company and more than 40 armed merchants, he rushed towards the bombed city wall.
"Damn, I know **, see what else you old hairy people can do without cannons." Hu Shouxin scolded a few words, and knocked down a Russian soldier with a rifle.
"Hit!" In the face of the Russian army that rushed up in a fan shape, Qiao Songbai and more than ten other armed businessmen came from Rehe and Suiyuan, and they were excited at this time, running businessmen for many years. I have fought with the bandits and beards, and everyone has a few lives in their hands, but it is the first time that they are forbidden to go to the battlefield. They have all seen blood, and they are not so afraid, but they are all excited.
"Stupid. Get down and look for death! When Qiao Songbai raised his head to look out at the ruins, he was pulled by the Jin soldiers next to him.
Bang bang bang ... A few bullets came, and Qiao Songbai felt cold on his scalp, but fortunately, the people behind him pulled him, otherwise the skull was probably gone. Just as he was about to say thank you, he looked back and saw that the Jin soldier who had just pulled him had fallen in a pool of blood.
"Old Maozi, fuck your mother!" Qiao Songbai's eyes suddenly turned red. Pick up your rifle and shoot outward.
"I've told you, the Central Army is on the way, Lao Tzu's people are on the front line, more than 2,000 people have fought to less than 1,000 people and haven't said anything, you princes and ministers, if you want to escape, just escape, don't talk crookedly here." Inside the regimental headquarters. Cai Rongshou scolded the king of Narin County, and two thousand and hundreds of Jin troops set off from Shanxi. In this Outer Mongolia, more than half of the dead and injured in less than half a year, all of them are old subordinates for many years, anyone who encounters this situation is not a good feeling, but they have to endure the doubts of these Mongolian princes, if it is not for the other party in Outer Mongolia has some status. According to his temper, he can't wait to pull it out and kill it early.
"Commander Cai, we just want to know when we will be able to repel the Russian army in front of us, and if we lose the battle, we should retreat in advance. Avoid further losses. The king of Nalin said unhappily.
"Commander Cai, you don't have to say a word, everyone is anxious to see this situation at the moment, but King Nalinjun, Commander Cai has blocked the White Russian rebels outside Kulun City, the Central Army should be almost there in the next few days, and it is not a way for you to come over and urge a few times a day." Chen Yi said flatteringly on both sides, he was as busy as a spinning top during this time, and he has never been idle when he has been spinning.
"Director Chen is here to accompany these masters, I'll go to the battlefield." Cai Rongshou didn't bother to pay attention to these annoying flies, and strode out of the headquarters with his gun, if it weren't for the support of some armed businessmen, the people he brought over would have been unable to support it a long time ago. At the moment, Cullen's forces are stretched and extremely dangerous.
"Kill! Get the old hairy out! "When Cai Rongshou arrived at the battle, the situation had reached an extremely dangerous point, and dozens of Russian soldiers had poured in from the gap in the city wall. Dozens of soldiers were rushing towards them with guns in hand, and a handful of armed businessmen rushed forward with sharp sabers. In this hand-to-hand situation, the saber is better than the rifle.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't you hurry up, drive Lao Maozi out!" Cai Rongshou shouted. Rumble! The sound of artillery fell from the sky, and a nearby house collapsed in the explosion, and a broken adobe brick hit Cai Rongshou's vest.
"Tuanza, Tuanza!" Several soldiers next to him called out hoarsely to Cai Rongshou, who was vomiting blood.
"Get the old man out!" Cai Rongshou said with difficulty and passed out.
"Fuck the hell, fight with these bastards!" Several of Cai Rongshou's guards with red eyes and weapons began to join the battle against the invasion of Belarus.
"Kill!" Wu Mingkai stabbed a Russian soldier to death with a gun, but was soon kicked to the ground by another big Russian man, with a pain in his stomach and gradual blurring of consciousness, and vaguely the Russian seemed to have been cut off by another saber.
"Kill in, kill all these Han people!" Hubazor raised his rifle and shouted menacingly, victory was now in sight. Having defeated the Han army in front of him, Kulen is the living Buddha, and these Han people will be driven out of the grassland.
"Chelin Dorji must be regretting the introduction of the Han army into the grassland at this time, but there is no medicine for regret in the world." In the Russian-Mongolian coalition army, Bayan Lama smiled coldly.
However, there was a roar that he had never heard before, and soon made Bayan Lama frown. I saw that on the flanks of Kulundi, dozens of fine dots appeared in rows.
"Fuck, I've finally caught up all the way, and if it's too late, Cullen City will be beaten down by Lao Maozi." A driver who drove a car spat on Xingzi. After getting off the train, we had to drive six or seven hundred miles, and two hundred or so transport trucks were prepared along the way, which were specially used to transport military equipment and soldiers. However, in view of the urgency on Kulen's side, they were all used to pull people, but the car failure rate at this time was still relatively high, two hundred and dozens of cars, after running such a long way, broke down most of them halfway, and only less than seventy appeared outside Kulun City. There were more than two dozen people in each car.
Most of the vehicles were carrying arms. As the first division in the original Northeast, it was the first team to be equipped with light machine guns. The heavy machine guns of the Northeast Army were also equipped with company-level units. The firepower is not the same as that of the Jin army guarding Kulun, and the Jin army at this time is not the Jin Sui army that has built the Taiyuan Arsenal in history.
"Hit!" Compared to heavy machine guns, light machine guns are much lighter. There was blood all over the inside and outside of the city, there was nothing to say in this situation, first fight and then talk, Chief of Staff Yu Xuezhong gave the order without hesitation.
"It's coming, the damn Central Army is finally here!" At this time, the Kulen defenders who fought hard with the White Russian Army couldn't help but burst into tears, it was easy to recognize the belonging of this army from the five-color flag sign on the appearance of those cars, although there were not many central troops coming, but the other party was so obligated to impact the Russian army outside the city without hesitation, for a long time, the separation between the warlord factions of the Republic of China was too deep, and most of the Jin troops only felt that Yan Xishan was subdued by the central government when they set off, but at this time, the Central Army was so resolute in attacking the White Russian army from the appearance of the formation, Let the soldiers and civilians in Kulun City feel the cordiality between the same army of the Republic of China so really, no matter what faction it was before, no matter how many contradictions there were before, at this time, under the threat of foreign clans, they all stood together, picked up the swords and guns in their hands to resist the foreign captives!
However, the remnants of the Jin army of Kulun soon realized how wrong their previous perception of the Central Army was.
Sudden ...... The speed of more than sixty cars is not too fast, not even comparable to the speed of horses, but it is better to refuel in the middle of the way, and there is no need to rest for long. The car convoy slowly approached, and the fire on the cars was fatal for the remnants of the White Guards, who had few shells and were woefully underpowered by machine gun fire.
The vanguard was small in number, but each car had two or three light machine guns. There was one heavy machine gun on every six cars. If it weren't for the need to carry bullets, the number of machine guns could have increased even more.
There are more than a hundred or dozens of light machine guns, as well as more than a dozen heavy machine guns, which is almost more than ten times the number of Cai Rongshou's regiment in Kulen City. Wherever the car convoy drove through, whether it was the White Russian army in Enchen or the Mongolian army of the Bayan Lama, it was all on their backs.
"Kill, kill these Han people, Zheba Danbuzun will protect you." A group of successfully brainwashed monks stepped onto their horses and charged at Xuezhong's car team under the orders of the Bayan Lama. (To be continued......)
