After a short and rapid storm, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sunlight sprayed ten thousand golden rays of light through the cracks in the clouds. The air is exceptionally fresh, and the endless prairie welcomes a team of fierce people. Under the gentle blowing of the wind, the green grass bends its slender waist slightly to welcome guests from afar. In the distance, the blue waves roll, occasionally revealing pearly white spots, which seem to decorate the grassland even more beautifully.

"The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep are low! Sure enough, a beautiful view of the prairie! Khalid, the chief of staff of the mid lane cluster, rode his horse with joy. The commander of the 2nd Army beside him echoed: "I am a southerner, and after I came to the grassland, I was also shocked by the vastness and magnificence of the grassland. Being in it, it seems that I feel more open-minded and far-reaching, like a strong man who will never return! ”

Khalid corrected: "It's not that it's gone and won't be returned, but that the hero Yang Wei will triumph." What a glory it is for a great army to go out of the frontier. Maybe one day our children and grandchildren proudly say that our fathers went on an expedition here, and we have the responsibility to let our children and grandchildren have the capital to show off. Expanding the living space for future generations and eliminating the threat from the north forever, the president's great strategic vision is a great cause for a thousand years. ”

At present, Li Tianxiang is leading the grassland column, steadily advancing and slowly advancing. According to the strategy of the headquarters, in early July, Chief of Staff Khalid led the 2nd and 3rd armies and an artillery brigade plus a Mongolian cavalry regiment to counterattack Kobdo. Their task was to advance from west to east after occupying Kobdo, and Zuihou to occupy Uriya Sutai, and cooperate with the steppe column to complete the east-west merger. Zuihou captures Kulen.

The occupation of Kobdo has another meaning, when Kobdo was in the Qing court, there was a counselor. And under the control of the left deputy general of the Uriya Sutai Dingbian, it belongs to the Altai region, etc. After the occupation of Kobdo, he could respond to He Meng's western expeditionary forces, or he could directly send troops into the northern region of Xinjiang, which was of great significance.

"Report to the Chief of Staff, the rear team found Li Qing, the communications officer of the headquarters!" Khalid was chatting with the commander of the 2nd Army with great interest and joy, and when he heard that Li Qing appeared in the rear team, he was a little confused. Less. Khalid exasperated: "It's just playing the piano randomly, how can she be here, send her back immediately." "Send me back. You said it doesn't count. Li Qing patted his horse from behind, and happened to hear Khalid's words.

"Li Qing, don't be capricious, this is a military operation. It's not a joke! "Khalid is a little lacking. Li Qing said confidently: "I know it's a military operation. In the future, Kobdo will lay a cable telegraph, and I will investigate it along the way, and this is a letter from the commander! Khalid took the letterhead and opened it to check, and sure enough, it was a letter from Commander Leng. Khalid secretly complained that Leng Yifei was not good to send, weishenme only sent Li Qing? It must have been soaked by Li Qing's soft grinding.

Seeing Khalid dumbfounded, Li Qing smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, I need your help to survey the route along the way." You have to do your best! "Since it is the commander's order, I am duty-bound. Adjutant! "Here!" "The task of Officer Li is entrusted to you. If something went wrong, I'll ask you! The adjutant assured loudly. In the following days, Li Qing led the adjutant to inspect the terrain and draw drawings along the way, and he was so busy that he did not come to pester Khalid.

On this day, the army camp was camped by a small river, and Khalid returned to his tent after listening to the military briefing. It's a little stuffy. He picked up a towel and soap and walked out of the tent and walked towards the river. A bright moon hung high in the sky, and the bright moonlight reflected the river in the distance. Suddenly, a song came from the river: "If there were no clouds in the sky, the begonia flowers would not bloom on their own." As long as you wait patiently, brother, your sweetheart will come to you??????。 ”

The melodic melody seems to carry a certain sadness, and the singing voice is very sweet and beautiful. Under the moonlight, Khalid saw Li Qing sitting on a stone by the river, not wearing a military uniform, her white shirt was very eye-catching, and her hair was tied behind her back with a white handkerchief. In this situation, Li Qing's shadow is so beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth, as if bathing. Khalid couldn't help but walk over and said a little forgetfully: "People are more beautiful than beautiful songs." Li Qing stood up in surprise and recognized that it was Khalid standing behind her.

Suddenly Li Qing's tears flowed out, she wiped her tears with her sleeve and turned sideways and ran, Khalid subconsciously reached out and grabbed Li Qing. Li Qing couldn't control herself anymore, so she threw herself into his arms and choked up aggrievedly. Seeing this, the guard hurriedly turned around, and the two embraced each other like this, and I don't know how long it took. Li Qing stopped sobbing and muttered, "You are just a piece of wood, which makes me suffer!" "I'm not wood, I've always had you in my heart."

"Then you weishenme always avoid me, as if I am a plague god!" "I'm afraid you'll be wronged!" "Isn't it just being an aunt's wife, I don't care!" "You should know how powerful that person in our family is." "Don't worry! I'll be a sister and get along like sisters! Li Qing said solemnly. Khalid didn't want to change the subject and said, "This song is so good, who did you learn it from?" Li Qing smiled: "It was Mrs. Leng who called me, I will sing several songs when I sing the brother of the grassland!" ”

Suddenly, Khalid was a little impulsive, took Li Qing's hand and left. Walking to his tent, Khalid stopped and picked up Li Qing. "What are you going to do? No???????. A cloud blocked the moon, the sky darkened, and the moon knew that she was too shy to see it hidden. The small river is flowing happily, silently blessing a team of newcomers. Soon, the moon smiled again, as if to say that no one could escape my eyes.

The next evening, Khalid gathered the men of the military headquarters and lit a bonfire. Hari took Li Qing's hand and walked to the middle and said loudly: "I declare that Li Qing will be my aunt's wife from now on, and you are all witnesses. I can't give her a big wedding, just let the prairie bless her! Not surprisingly, there have been rumors about the two of them. Everyone stepped forward one after another to send their best wishes.

The two poured wine for everyone, Li Qing sang several songs for everyone, and the simple wedding was full of grassland feelings, showing the demeanor of a soldier. Ruthless may not be a real hero, everyone shares this unique happiness. Late at night, everyone dispersed, and Khalid and Li Qing sat by the campfire and didn't seem sleepy. For Li Qing, happiness came too suddenly, and for Khalid, after calming down, a trace of apprehension came to his heart.

When the troops reached Tamqi, they entered the mid-mountainous area, which belonged to the branch of the Altai Mountains. In the military tent, the generals and officers of the 2nd Army and the 4th Army and above were seated. Khalid pointed to the military map and said: "This place is about 300 kilometers away from Kobdo, because the terrain here is favorable for our infantry to deploy, and the reason is that in the area around Kobdo, there are not many cavalry deployed by the Russian army. ”

Khalid continued: "According to the reconnaissance of the Mongolian cavalry reconnaissance detachment, we learned that the Russian army has stationed 20,000 infantry and a brigade of cavalry in Kobdo. Therefore, I decided to fight a war of annihilation and eat the Russian army in Kobdo in one bite. In order to prevent the Russian army from running away, we are going to deploy our troops here. One division of the 3rd Army moved to the north of Kobdo, one division was located in the west, and one division served as a reserve, and you were the first to set out. ”

"Yes! Subordinates obey orders! "The commander of the 3rd Army held his chest high. Khalid continued: "I followed the 2nd Army, which was responsible for outflanking Kobdo in the east and south. Artillery brigades, Mongolian cavalry regiments followed the 2nd Army!. After the 3rd Army was deployed, the 2nd Army was on the road 3 hours later. At this time, a large number of men and horses came from the northeast, and I saw the commander of the Mongolian cavalry, Ingle, pat his horse and arrived.

"Report to the Chief of Staff that when we were reconnoitring in Altai, we found a group of former Korean prisoners, numbering about 1,000 people, who were building fortifications for the Russian army in Altai. After reconnaissance, it became clear that there was only one battalion of Russian cavalry in Altai, so I gave the order to attack. The Russian cavalry battalion did not meet the battle and fled, and the prisoners of the former dynasty were rescued! Ingle shouted.

After a while, a group of men wearing tattered military uniforms and dragging pigtails appeared in front of them. The first tall strong man in front knelt on one leg, threw the braid on his head behind him and said: "The criminal officer Torrey is the head of the Kobdo Independent Regiment stationed in the former dynasty. At the beginning of the year, the Russians suddenly surrounded and disarmed us, and then sent to Altai for hard labor. Thanks to the rescue of the Imperial Army, the criminal officer was grateful, and I decided to lead my children to join the army and ask the general to accept it. ”

Khalid was overjoyed when he heard this: "In the future, the Chinese family, whether it is Han, Manchu, or Mongolian, will be one family. Your choice to join the Defence Force is warmly welcomed. Now I appoint you as the commander of the 4th Battalion of the Mongolian Cavalry Regiment under the command of Inger. Khalid then ordered the military uniform to be issued and his head cut and shaved. As for the war horses, Ingle asked to solve them, and it was not difficult to raise war horses on the steppe.

It was another bright night, and the army did not camp, but advanced north in the light of the moon. Khalid and his new wife, Li Qing, rode side by side on horseback, and in the moonlight, Li Qing's face was hazy and full of charm. Li Qingang couldn't help but let go of her singing voice again. "The grassland is beautiful at night, the people who have not raised the golden cup are drunk, the evening breeze sings sweet songs, and the light riding on the moon can't bear to return. Ahaha! The evening breeze sings a sweet song, and I can't bear to return to the moon on a light ride??????。

The song is melodious and melodious, and the prairie seems to be moving. The soldiers around them were so fascinated that they seemed to have forgotten their fatigue and were deeply intoxicated. (To be continued......)
