Chapter 377: Desperate Situation
"Your Excellency, you want the red wine!" The waiter opened the lid and handed the bottle to him, and said respectfully.
"Hmm." Engie poured a glass of red wine and took a slow sip.
"Your Excellency, do you really want to bring Barloviv's troops to Outer Mongolia as well? This represents a direct break with Seminov. The adjutant said with some concern.
"Seminov? To hell with this vulgar and stingy fellow. A person of low status, even if he suddenly gets a high position, will never become a qualified nobleman. Engen sneered, "As long as there are soldiers in his hands, even if Semenov escapes to Outer Mongolia in the future, he can only act by looking at our faces, isn't this how Seminov started, Your Excellency Araki, do you say yes?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Baron, even if Semenov also enters Outer Mongolia in the future, it will not shake Mr. Baron's position in Outer Mongolia, this time entering Outer Mongolia, we will provide you with arms in accordance with the previous commitment, you also know that Kolchak, who is supported by Britain and the United States, has been defeated in the West and will soon withdraw to Transbaikal, frankly speaking, with Seminov's ability, it is difficult to fight Kolchak, otherwise we would not have found Mr. Baron to cooperate so quickly." Sadao Araki said with an indifferent smile.
"That's good, those lamas in Outer Mongolia have already contacted me, and they will accept our army into Outer Mongolia, but I'm afraid that the Chinese people in the south will not sit back and watch our army seize Outer Mongolia so lightly, and when the pressure from the Republic of China comes on, you still need your country to help share one or two." Engie smiled and nodded.
"This is natural, but others call you a crazy baron, and you do things recklessly, presumably Mr. Baron will not be afraid of those lowly people." Sadao Araki made a small agitation.
"Naturally not." Engern's blue eyes narrowed slightly, releasing a hint of danger, and Sadao Araki was right. If he was afraid, he would still be a mad baron. Kolchak was about to retreat to Transbaikal, and the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and even if Kolchak suffered a defeat, both the army he brought and Kolchak's prestige were still comparable to that of Seminov. He was even more reluctant to stay under Kolchak's defeated general. Entering Outer Mongolia and pulling up an army with the support of the Japanese, if you can make a career, it will be earned, even if you can't do it, it's a big deal to be a rich man, it's better than doing things under these two scumbags. As for the reasons of the Republic of China, he, a guy nicknamed Crazy Baron, really didn't think much about it.
Out of the mad baron's house, Sadao Araki had a grim look on his face. Whether it is the Mad Baron or the Seminov, they are just objects of use by the Empire. If Kolchak and Seminov had been able to stand in Transbaikal, the Russian Far East would still be Japanese. If they can't stand their ground, those Red Russians enter Outer Mongolia in the name of attacking the old army of Tsarist Russia, let the people of China have a headache. As for what the Red Russia said before, it will spit out the territory occupied in China and let the aborigines determine themselves, so let the ghosts go, and rule one place for so many years. It is also a sparsely populated place, allowing the local inhabitants to determine themselves. Doesn't it mean that most of the decision-making power is still in the hands of Red Russia? As for the Bayan Lama, who is now on the line with Engean, and the Mongolian people such as Sukhbaatar in Outer Mongolia, they have already contacted the Red Russia.
If Red Russia can really calmly spit out these places, how can it be so muddy? Even if the Red Russian army failed to enter Outer Mongolia as expected by Japan, the Republic of China army wanted to destroy Engean, and it would continue to increase its troops in Outer Mongolia and accumulate a certain amount of troops in Outer Mongolia. In the case of territorial disputes between the two countries, it can also threaten the pace of Red Russia's eastward advance. The Japanese, who have dealt with Qin Yu for many years, know very well that Qin Yu, a complete nationalist, will never give up any of the territories that have been taken away lightly. In any case, for Japan, it is extremely advantageous for Japan to lead his troops into Outer Mongolia.

"Damn it. Cai Rongshou, the turtle grandson, ate and drank spicy food in Kulun by himself, but he threw us to such a remote place as Kyakhta to drink the northwest wind, and he was angry when he thought about it. When she got up early in the morning, Zhang Peilan scolded, put on her coat, and kicked aside the empty wine bottle under her feet.
"Yingzuo, what are you angry about, you have to humble yourself and say, come to Kyakhta, you don't need to look at the face of Captain Cai to be really angry, how good is Kyakhta, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, no matter how long Captain Cai's hand is, he can't reach out to us here, right? In general, yesterday's White Russian Po Yi was really good, the front was big and the back was big. Although it's a little cold in the north, but there is food, shelter, and fun, it's nothing to stay here for a year or two, and ah, I heard that our current salary is issued by the central government, the full amount of the army, one month, we have been receiving it for two months, it's really good. ”
"Yes, it is generally said that this Fengtian guy has entered Beijing, and he is quite generous, when Duan Hefei was a village in Beijing in the past, our Jin army relied on the commander to maintain until now, but I didn't expect that now the central government is also in charge of your army." The soldier next to him responded, but the more he said that, the darker Zhang Peilan's face became. The two of them immediately understood what was going on, even if the situation in Shanxi was much better than in other places, but as a battalion commander, there was still a lot of foreign water. But now the distribution of salaries and military supplies is directly in charge of the logistics department on Kulun's side, and his claws can't reach inside, so he has lost some income, so he naturally complains about the central government.
Zhang Peilan spent three days fishing and two days drying nets in Kyakhta, not so much that he was here to garrison, but rather to have a vacation.
"Actually, if you want me to say, this central government is not bad now, you see that since we were stationed in Outer Mongolia, although the conditions are a little worse, but when the army arrives, it is to repair the barracks, and distribute military uniforms and military shoes. We didn't get these things when we were in Shanxi before, and the army was also fully distributed. After Zhang Peilan left, Shen Quan said in a low voice.
"That's it, aren't we soldiers just being soldiers and guarding the border for the country, the Mongolian people here mentioned the Northeast Army. They all kept their mouths shut, that is, the Russians, and they also thought highly of the Northeast Army. What is it, or is the Northeast Army scared of them, since the Northeast Army has also done hard work, it is not deliberately difficult for our Jin Army, right? It was also the battalion commander Zhang, who had less oil and water in his hands, so naturally it was not good, and his luck was also poor in the past two days, and he lost a lot of money. Another said.
"All in all, I think this should be done or done, take the central government's order, and the central government doesn't treat us as a second-class army, let's talk about it. You see, the marshal is not obedient to the central government now, and the central government has not done anything to our marshal. That is, let's go, let's go to the routine inspection and patrol, and we can't do nothing at all, otherwise we will be embarrassed this time. Shen Quan, who spoke, shrugged his shoulders, "As for Camp Commander Zhang, don't offend him." ”
A large number of horses' hooves resounded in the grassland. In the distance, several horsemen fled in a panic.
"What for. Touched the wolves? It stands to reason that no wolf pack of this kind can run so far with six or seven horses at this time? "After coming to Mongolia for a while, these people know how powerful the Mongolian wolves are in the steppe.
"No, it's a herd of horses, a large herd of horses, you won't run into horse bandits, right?"
Bang bang....The gunshots that erupted one after another suddenly confirmed their guess, but the facts were still different from the guesses. When these people hurriedly picked up their guns, they found out that they were actually White Russian cavalry.
"Russian invasion, Russian invasion!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Nearly 100 soldiers armed with guns leaned on houses and other things that could be guarded as guards.
"Fuck, hurry up and notify the battalion commander, Lao Maozi is calling!" Someone in the group shouted.
". Lao Tzu said how to get up this morning to get up in the hall to get blue, it's really not a good thing, the guys, kill these old hairs! ”
", why are there still Mongolian people mixed in? Did the Mongols rebel? ”
When they saw the roaring Mongolian and Russian armies, the size alone was definitely more than a thousand horsemen. There are no well-protected cities in Outer Mongolia. In the face of this roaring of thousands of people, the Russian-Mongolian coalition army was obviously unstoppable.
"Haha, kill all these Han soldiers!" The leader of the lama, Huyan'er, held a gun in his hand, rode his horse and galloped forward, whistling out of his mouth. Since the arrival of the Han Chinese army in Kulen, the life of these lamas has not been much better. The Han people want to be the enemy of the lamas in the whole steppe, and now that they have invited reinforcements, they naturally want to kill all these Han troops, and at this time there are thousands of Russian cavalry who followed him, and the sound caused by these more than 1,000 people rushing on the grassland is far from being comparable to the Han infantry who entered Kulen.
"Fuck, let's fight off this old hairy man first, otherwise no one will want to live!" A burly man with a burning butt rushed over with a group of people.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Chen!" After seeing Chen Hongqing, the people present finally had a little reliance in their hearts, Zhang Peilan complained all day long, complaining that the Northeast did not do personnel, but Chen Hongqing, Lu Shisheng, still did some pragmatic things, although under the pressure of Zhang Peilan for more than a year, he has become more and more lazy, but as Lu Shisheng, Chen Hongqing has also learned some real skills. Zhang Peilan didn't know where to look for flowers and willows, at this time Chen Hongqing brought all the more than 300 soldiers in the battalion over, according to this humble fortification, but also had a hard time, no longer mermaids.
"Don't shoot without authorization, listen to Lao Tzu's orders, save bullets, Tao Wenzhi, take your company to Lao Tzu, you can't take a step back when the sky falls, and the life and death of more than 300 people in the battalion will all fall into your hands!" Chen Hongqing shouted loudly.
"Damn, I just arrived in Outer Mongolia and encountered this kind of thing, but aren't we soldiers just eating the meal that takes off our heads, fight!" Tao Wenzhi shouted loudly. At the same time, the soldiers behind carried the bullet boxes one after another, distributing the bullets to the soldiers. The firepower at the level of the Jin military camp was scarce, and Yan Xishan in history also began to develop the Taiyuan Arsenal after Yuan Shikai's death, and relied on the output of the arsenal to create the famous Jin Sui Army. At this time, the Taiyuan Arsenal was still in the initial stage of development, and it was simply unable to allocate heavy firepower to the battalion level.
Bang bang bang......
With Tao Wenzhi's order, more than 100 soldiers in the company pulled the trigger one after another and fired bullets. More than a hundred rounds were fired, and dozens of cavalrymen were killed and wounded by high-speed flying bullets. More than a dozen horses neighed and fell to the ground, and with the strong inertia of running, they lifted a layer of turf.
"Quick, quick, quick!" At this time, Chen Hongqing also didn't care about the opinions of a small number of merchants in Kyakhta, and directly asked the soldiers to drive the carriages and goods of those merchants to several sparse and low houses, and hurriedly organize another line of defense behind Tao Wenzhi's defense line.
"What's going on, what's going on outside?" When Zhang Peilan ran out of a low house with her pants on, the dense sound of bullets and the chaotic merchants and Mongolian people in Kyakhta made Zhang Peilan stumble and almost fall.
"No, it's not good, the camp, the old Maozi is coming!" A lone soldier cried and cried.
"What, what? How many old hairs are there? Zhang Peilan's legs and stomach trembled, and she said in a trembling voice.
"There's no end in sight, it's all cavalry. There are too many enemies, let's run away, one person with a horse can escape. ”
"Yes, yes, run!" Zhang Peilan nodded again and again, not caring about the dusty woman who rushed out of the house in a panic, so she looked for a horse and left.
"Kill all the Han people, kill all the Han people!" At this time, dozens of encouraged Mongols rushed out of Kyakhta. After dealing with the Han people for a long time, the Mongolian people have also become a little more civilized and have learned the trick of combining inside and outside. From the original slogan of killing the Han army, these Mongolian people, who were affected by the adrenal glands in the battle, unconsciously turned the slogan into killing the Han people.
Some Han merchants in Kyakhta were running around, and when they encountered such a big chaos, it really made these people who had not experienced the scene not know how to deal with themselves for a while.
"Fuck, these Mongolian people only dare to pick soft persimmons and pinch them, and some of them will try to make trouble in the Northeast." One of the middle-aged men rushed out with a bull ear sharp knife, the left and right horses were just requisitioned by Tao Wenzhi, and there was nowhere to escape, and the middle-aged man was also out of his mind, followed by a young man in his twenties for two years, one with a flat pole in his hand, and the other didn't know where to find an iron rod.
"Die, damn Han Chinese!" Several Mongolian people rushed up with a sly smile, took the saber left by their ancestors and slashed it over.
"Dare to move Uncle Ba, go to death!" The young man with the iron rod snatched two steps, and then hit the head of the leader with a stick, and suddenly the skull shattered, and the red and white things splashed out.
"Fuck, this Mongolia is still the Mongolia of our Han people, and now it's a big deal, and it's a good man again in eighteen years. Sooner or later, the central government will send troops north, and then it will be the death of these rebellions! The middle-aged man, with his red neck, stabbed a bull ear knife into the stomach of a Mongol rebel and pulled it out. However, in the face of dozens of Mongolian people, the three were not supermen after all, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the surging crowd.
On the opposite side of the Russians, Chen Hongqing's battalion killed nearly 100 Russians, and after the rebels, a cannon launched from the Russian formation suddenly made everyone's faces change greatly, but the enemy's artillery fire will not be eased because the weaker side loses color.
Rumble! After a few shells missed, a single shot from behind destroyed a room, and several Jin soldiers were buried alive.
"Damn, fight with these old hairy people and rebels!" Chen Hongqing watched as soldiers continued to die in artillery fire, and it was the first time he had encountered such an aggrieved battle. Left and right is a dead word, it's better to go out and kill it.
"Camp Commander Chen, Zhang Peilan escaped that doggy!"
"Lao Tzu doesn't have time to take care of it now, there will always be a guy who has no soft eggs in the Heavenly Will, go out and kill Lao Tzu!" Chen Hongqing rushed out with a rifle.
"Damn, I can't escape, it's a big deal to die with the battalion commander and kill my mother!" The red-eyed soldier rushed out of cover with rifles.
"These Han people are crazy!" A White Russian commander looked in disbelief at a group of soldiers in front of him, who seemed to him to be almost out of his mind............. (To be continued......
