The spring breeze rolling from the south began to blow on the Mongolian steppe, and the endless steppe began to spread a green carpet. About 50 kilometers west of Ulanqab, an infantry line appeared. Looking at the trenches and barbed wire fences stretching for dozens of miles from afar, it makes people feel a little weird. He Meng led the 45th Field Division of the Western Route Corps and the 13th Independent Artillery Brigade to appear here. According to the operational jihua of the corps headquarters, He Meng led his troops to launch an operation against the Russian cavalry entrenched in Ulanqab in advance.

In order to gather and annihilate the Russian cavalry in Ulanqab, He Meng ordered the 6th Cavalry Division to outflank from the south, with the help of the Mongolian cavalry brigade in this direction, and the Russian cavalry could not escape to the south, so the layout of a cavalry division was mainly to prevent a small group of Russian cavalry from flowing to the south, and He Meng deployed 5 cavalry divisions in the north and east respectively, which was to urge the Russian army to flee in his own direction, and only in this way could the Russian cavalry be effectively annihilated.

The roundabout outflanking troops had set off as early as three days earlier, and He Meng led the 45th Division to arrive here, and after two days of sweating like rain, the fortifications and barbed wire fences were built. In the evening, He Meng was reading a book by kerosene lamp in the headquarters of the semi-bunker, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside. As the sound of horses' hooves disappeared, division commander Lin Xiong came in with great interest. "I said Deputy Commander, there will be a battle tomorrow, and you still have the leisure to read."

He Meng put down the book and said, "You mean that I am nervous and reasonable?" Do you know? Before the big war, you must be calm, this is the minimum quality of a commander! "Deputy Commander, I can't do your realm, just now I checked the entire defense line, and I am very satisfied. In particular, the artillery brigade has set up three artillery positions, which can effectively carry out artillery support for the entire defense line. Lin Xiong picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all.

"Is the left flank in contact with the 1st Cavalry Division?" He Meng asked. "Deputy Commander, the left flank has made contact with the 1st Cavalry Division, and at present, Deputy Commander Lei has led 5 cavalry divisions to form an encirclement of Ulanqab in the eastern part of the north. The 6th Division in the south also made contact with the ** Mongol Cavalry Brigade, and there is no problem in officially launching an offensive tomorrow morning. "Lin Xiong is like a treasure." Since there is no problem, let's be patient. You give the order to go down and let the soldiers sleep well, tomorrow the Russian cavalry will definitely flee in our direction. He Meng said lightly.

"Deputy commander, you said that the main force of the Russian cavalry will really flee in our direction?" "I don't dare to say that I am 100% sure, but I am 60% sure, your task is to recharge your energy and kill more enemies tomorrow." He Meng said confidently. Seeing He Meng's eyes full of wisdom, Lin Xiong was convinced. The deputy commander used soldiers like a god, and Lin Xiong was obedient. In that year, he recovered himself in Annam, fought against the rebels, and fought bravely against the French army. So much so that in Sichuan, Lin Xiong, as a subordinate who has followed the war for many years, is full of absolute trust in He Meng.

Qinghe Town, south of Ulanqab, is the garrison of the Bazar Mongolian Cavalry Brigade, and at this moment at the brigade headquarters of Bazar, under the dim light, Bazar said to his generals: "Tomorrow we will revolt in front of the battle and cooperate with the Northern Expeditionary Army to eliminate the Russian cavalry." According to Deputy Director He**, we strive to defeat the Russian army command, resulting in the Russian army being leaderless. Tomorrow must play the prestige of Genghis Khan's people, understand? Everyone nodded.

Late at night, Bazar couldn't sleep with excitement, and the saber on the table was wiped I don't know how many times, when he took out his revolver and began to wipe it again. What a feat it is to eat 3 Russian cavalry divisions in one go, what a scene will be in the Ulanqab grassland tomorrow, how can you say that Bazar is not enthusiastic. He was not sleepy at all due to the excitement. At present, the Mongolian cavalry of Bazar is basically secretly equipped with the standard horse pistol of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the saber has also been replaced by the saber of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the combat effectiveness has increased several times.

At three o'clock in the morning, about 30 kilometers east of Ulanqab, a Russian cavalry patrol was patrolling in a row, and suddenly a large number of cavalry figures appeared. Before the Russian patrol could react, there was a dense burst of gunfire from the opposite side, and two-thirds of the 20-man Russian cavalry squad was knocked off their horses in an instant. The Russian cavalry reacted unhappily and immediately turned around and fled. The Russian cavalry encountered the vanguard of the 3rd Cavalry Division of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army did not pursue, their goal was to eat all the Russian cavalry, and naturally they would not take these small fish and shrimp in their eyes. However, the soldiers who fled back from the Russian army changed the situation of the war. 15 kilometers east of Ulanqab, a brigade of the Russian army was stationed. The Russian brigade commander received a report from the fleeing cavalry, believing that the Northern Expeditionary Army in the east was still a harassing force. This guy was so meritorious that he didn't report to the Russian army headquarters in Ulanqab, so he picked up all the soldiers and horses and went to the east to kill.

The opening ceremony of the Central Plains War first kicked off in the Inner Mongolia grassland, the eastern sky began to turn white, and the cavalry unit of the 3rd Division of the Northern Expeditionary Army unexpectedly encountered the Russian cavalry brigade. A big battle kicked off in an instant, and the Russian cavalry didn't know how many cavalry there were in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and in their subconscious, the Northern Expeditionary Army never dared to dispatch large-scale cavalry troops. In addition, the Russian cavalry believes that the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the east of Ulanqab will not be too many.

However, the commander of the Russian cavalry brigade never expected that he would be surrounded at the beginning of the battle, and obediently surrounded by cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, even if the Kosako cavalry was strong, the arrogance of the past two years has been smoothed out. In particular, in the past two years, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army has increased dramatically, and the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army has been on a par with the Xhosakoqi soldiers.

The commander of the Russian cavalry brigade arrogantly fought with the Northern Expeditionary Army, but soon realized that it was not good, because the opponent was not only skilled in fighting immediately, but also more and more numerous. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Russian brigade commander immediately ordered a retreat, but where he escaped, he was surrounded by regiments. The Russian army rushed left and right, and the speed of Zuihou's charge slowed down, forming a large lump. The soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army, who were surrounded on all sides, began to raise their guns and shoot, and in the face of the dense Russian soldiers, it can be said that they have no bullets.

The Russian cavalry is a combat unit that mainly fights immediately, not to mention their poor archery skills, even the rifles in their hands are far apart, whether it is accuracy or range, the old-fashioned rifles in the hands of the Russian cavalry cannot be compared. With the passage of time, the Russian cavalry was wounded and killed to a quarter, and its will to fight quickly collapsed. The key is the improvement of the individual combat skills of the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army, so that the Russian cavalry loses the will to resist.

People's desire to survive is inherent, and the Russian brigade commander saw that the general trend was gone, so he ordered surrender. This was the first time that the Kosako cavalry of the Russian army surrendered in formation, and it also heralded the rise of the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Just when the Russian cavalry brigade was fighting fiercely in the east, Sakhalin, commander of the Ulanqab Command of the Russian Army, received the news that the Northern Expeditionary Army had been found in the east, and the 12th Kasak Cavalry Brigade, which was serving as the eastern defense, was meeting the enemy. Commander Sakhalin did not hesitate, and just wanted to order two brigades to go to support, but at this moment, news of unhappiness followed.

"Your Excellency General, the North and South have also discovered the cavalry units of the Northern Expeditionary Army, is the Northern Expeditionary Army going to surround and eat us?" The adjutant's eyes widened in surprise. "Humph! The cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army is simply whimsical, they play petty theft tricks, don't worry, the Northern Expeditionary Army is still harassing and fighting. Order the 10th Brigade and the 11th Brigade to go to the east, and be sure to destroy the Northern Expeditionary Army in the east. The 8th Guards Cavalry Division was ordered to search and advance to the north, and there was a Mongolian cavalry brigade in the south, so there was no need to worry for the time being. ”

Sakhalin was responsible for his stupidity and arrogance that led to the premature annihilation of the entire army, and at the same time for the Northern Expeditionary Army to achieve this classic annihilation at a relatively small cost. The sun rose in the east, and Feng Jingzhang led the 2nd Cavalry Division to outflank it from due north. At the moment, they are about 15 kilometers from Ulanqab. The troops ascended a raised hill and suddenly encountered the Russian cavalry unit, the 8th Division, which Commander Sakhalin had sent to the north for an urgent search.

At present, Feng Jingzhang's 2nd Cavalry Division, with Zuo Zongtang's hussars as the team of the team, itself has strong combat effectiveness, and after nearly two years of formal training, its combat effectiveness is increasing day by day, and the fighting quality of individual soldiers does not belong to the Kosako cavalry of the Russian army at all. For a long time, Feng Jingzhang has been holding back one energy, that is, to talk with the Xosako cavalry with a saber face-to-face, and have a regular cavalry duel. Therefore, this time to outflank the Russian cavalry in Ulanqab, Feng Jingzhang warned his subordinates that they were not allowed to shoot without special circumstances.

The two armies met at a distance of less than 1,000 meters, which was simply too close for a cavalry. Feng Jingzhang pulled out his saber and shouted, "Brothers, the time has come to test us, kill!" Feng Jingzhang took the lead in rushing out with a war horse in his legs, and the chief of staff next to him hurriedly said: "Protect the division commander!" Then he followed, and the horse galloped and the earth shook, like a furious rush sweeping towards the enemy formation. Suddenly, the Russian army was stunned, but the arrogant Kosako cavalry did not choose to retreat, but bravely met it.

In a few seconds, the two armies met head-on, and then fought together. Feng Jingzhang used his speed and skillful knife skills to cut off a Russian cavalryman as soon as possible. The speed of the war horse slowed down, and Feng Jingzhang encountered another Russian cavalryman, and only one converged and cut off another Russian soldier. At this time, the chief of staff behind him met a very burly Russian officer, and the two were the first to meet, and the chief of staff was difficult to parry, and the guards rushed up to help, but the guards were cut off by the other side in only one round.

Then the guy swung his knife and slashed at the chief of staff, who ducked down, but was slashed in the shoulder, and blood immediately flowed out. The Russian officer returned to his horse and slashed with a knife, and the chief of staff instinctively accepted the call, only to hear the saber of the chief of staff being knocked away, and the Russian officer made a blow to his wrist, and the tip of the knife went straight to the throat of the chief of staff. At this time, the chief of staff opened the door and waited to die. At this critical moment, Feng Jingzhang killed, quickly stretched out his knife and jumped away from the saber of the Russian officer, and the chief of staff escaped.

The Russian military officer was very skillful, and the target quickly shifted, and swept towards Feng Jingzhang's waist with a swing of the knife with his wrist. Feng Jingzhang set up a knife, and the two horses left by mistake. The two horses turned around, the Russian military officer swung his knife vigorously and slashed head-on, Feng Jingzhang raised the knife and felt the tiger's mouth numb, the Russian military officer was above himself, Feng Jingzhang knew that he had encountered a strong opponent. The two fought for a few more rounds without a win, and the Russian military officer became more and more courageous with his burly body, and Feng Jingzhang felt struggling.

In this round, Feng Jingzhang did not raise his knife to parry, but sold a flaw, dodged the opponent's slash sideways, and then swung the knife to the horse's buttocks, and the war horse couldn't help but raise his front legs and make a loud scream. The war horse jumped up, and the Russian officer lost his balance and reached out to grab the reins of the horse. said that it was too late, Feng Jingzhang leaned back and stabbed straight with his knife, seeing that the tip of the knife penetrated through the shoulder blade of the Russian military officer and pulled it out in an instant.

On the surface, the Russian military officer did not seem to be wounded, and soon the horses of the two sides faced each other again. I saw that the Russian officer's eyes were a little wooden, and the saber fell to the ground with a bang. This guy stared at Feng Jingzhang as if he wanted to remember this face, and then got off his horse and went to ・・・・・・・. A brutal hand-to-hand fight, the two sides are evenly matched, and the killing is dark.

When the two sides were fighting inextricably, a group of men and horses suddenly came from the northwest. It turned out that this was a part of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Northern Expeditionary Army and rushed to the battlefield. With the input of the new force, the Russian army was suddenly overwhelmed, and then collapsed and began to flee. Feng Jingzhang saw that the Russian army had fled, and ordered to stop the pursuit and clean up the battlefield.
