Chapter 56: An Arrow Pierces the Heart
Kizerosky had already calculated that Yang Xiaolin would definitely not let go of his logistical supply line, so from the beginning of the war, Russian soldiers and the Mongolian puppet army were strictly guarded. When the Fourth Front began to move towards Daqingshan, General Kizerosky immediately received information, and he immediately informed Ackberil and Stessel in Mongolia to prepare them to block the Chinese troops in Daqingshan as much as possible.
The Russians calculated the strategy of the Chinese, but not the tactics of the Chinese, not because they were stupid, but in the annals of modern warfare, it seems that no one has used such tactics for more than a hundred years.
When humans had cannons and muskets, small groups of troops went behind enemy lines, as if they were no different from sending them to death.
Wu Peifu's mood was a little excited, when he proposed the way of playing, it was just out of wanting to reduce a little pressure on Beijing when it was attacked, and at that time he himself thought that this was a tragic trip with no return. But now it is different, this tactic has become the most critical point of the whole campaign, Yang Xiaolin and Zaitao made it very clear to him, not only to fight well, to disturb the Russians, but also to come back alive.
The entire army consisted of 2,000 people, 1,000 cavalry selected from Daqingshan, 500 armored soldiers, a demolition team, and a propaganda team. Demolition of more than a hundred people, their task was to blow up all the facilities they thought would be useful to the Russians in their military operations, and to destroy everything they thought should be destroyed.
The number of the propaganda team is 200 people, and these 200 people are also carefully selected from the country. Everyone is fluent in Russian, Mongolian. The remaining more than 100 people are non-combatants, although the team is small, but it is complete, signal soldiers, men, maintenance workers, everything, it can be said that Wu Peifu felt that the rear area needed all for him, and even some places that he did not pay attention to. Commander Yang also thought about it.
More than a thousand horses and more than fifty tanks were enough to ensure the speed of the troops. The soldiers' equipment was also completely new. The semi-automatic rifles were all replaced with submachine guns, which were still the most advanced submachine guns that Zhou Tong had just developed, and they also had an overwhelming advantage over the Russian troops in terms of firepower.
Wu Peifu's excitement was not only that his tactical ideas were adopted by Yang Xiaolin, but more importantly, this time Yang Xiaolin said it very clearly. The entire operation will be commanded by him, Wu Peifu. Erpole and Zhang Dewu are just assisting.
This decision really shocked Wu Peifu. You must know that Lu Dao was not ranked in the Beiyang Army before, if it weren't for Cao Sanye's discernment, he might still be just a small standard now.
So he must fight this battle well. Not only to serve the country, but also to repay Commander Yang for his kindness. That's what Wu Peifu thought in his heart.
The Russians had already sent heavy troops to blockade Daqingshan, and Wu admired the arrangement of the large army, so that they could continue to insist here and wait for Bellorye's Fourth Front Army to come over, and he himself quietly set off with the assault team. Zhang Xun sent them information about the Russian troops, saying that the troops on the west side of Daqing Mountain were mainly composed of Mongolian puppet troops, and the number was about 10,000, and Wu Peifu chose this direction for the breakthrough.
The team of 2,000 people waited in the col for a long time, and finally saw the Russian troops encircling and suppressing appeared.
Zhang Xun's intelligence is not wrong at all, after Lord Belle betrayed the Qing Dynasty, Guangxu appointed Zhang Xun as the Minister of State, so he basically knows all about the military operations of the Russians, and these Mongolian puppet troops are now directly commanded and deployed by Zhang Xun.
Of the more than 10,000 troops, only the front battalion seemed to be Russian soldiers, who apparently did not realize that they were already in a very dangerous situation, and the whole formation was stretched out, and the way the soldiers walked could see their laxity and insolence. Not only the puppet army in the back, but also the Russian soldiers in front of them were also laughing and laughing along the way.
The second pole shook his head and sighed, "Good girl, there is no one in this eye, right?" You have come to Daqingshan, and you dare to be so careless? Ziyu, haven't you beaten them before? ”
Wu Peifu smiled and said softly: "I have been beaten, but it was all beaten by Lord Baylor." Not long after I came to Daqingshan, the commander sent an order to let us not attack, so we have been avoiding them for a while, and it seems that we have spoiled them. ”
He put down the binoculars: "Brother Pole, in a while, we will first launch a feint attack from the front, and then your armored vehicles will come out from the left flank, and I will lead five hundred cavalry to chase and kill from the right flank and scatter them!" ”
The second pole thought for a while, the enemy has not been aware of the danger in the slightest, according to the commando firepower from the middle of the enemy's formation is not difficult to kill, although the enemy also has cavalry, but they are not prepared for combat at all, at this time with the commando firepower can completely collect greater results.
However, he also knew that the reason why Wu Peifu was unwilling to do that was to quickly kill Lu out of the encirclement, kill a gap, and rush to the rear of the Russians was their combat purpose.
At the moment, he was very unwilling to say, "Okay." ”
The soldiers selected by Wu Peifu were really the elite troops of Daqingshan, and he didn't need to arrange anything, and after making a slight gesture, everyone was ready for battle.
Before the charge, Wu Peifu said to the second pole again: "Brother pole, when the battle is gone, let's go to the rear of the Russians to kill people and set fires, and you have to teach me." ”
The second pole smiled: "That's not a problem, old business!" ”
Wu Peifu is actually still a little worried, this is his first cooperation with the second pole, and it is also the first cooperation between cavalry and armored soldiers, how can he fight, he is really a little worried.
"Ready!"
"Report!"
A reconnaissance cavalry of the Russian unit hurried back to their battalion commander, "the cavalry of the Chinese unit was found in front." ”
The cavalry battalion commander picked up his binoculars at this time, and saw more than 200 Chinese cavalry in his field of vision from a distance, as if they were organizing a formation and preparing to charge.
The commander of the cavalry battalion of the Russians suddenly became a little angry. There are more than 200 people, more than 10,000 on their own side, they are preparing to charge, and they are obviously insulting themselves!
"Artillery! Bombard them for me! ”
"Boom!"
The movement of the Russian artillery was still quite fast, and as soon as the battalion commander's order was given, a shell smashed towards the opposite side, so the Chinese cavalry seemed to suddenly realize the strength of the Russians at this time, and retreated a little, but did not run away immediately.
The leader of the Mongolian puppet army behind him also ran over at this time, and after seeing that there were only more than 200 enemies on the opposite side, the guy felt that this was a great opportunity for him to show his loyalty to the Russians!
"General, let me lead the troops to rush up and kill them!"
The battalion commander is really not a general, but in Mongolia, all the Russian troops are generals in front of the Mongolian puppet army.
"Well, it's enough for you to take two thousand people up! I'll help you if you get stuck. ”
The leader of the Mongol puppet army puffed up his chest and immediately began to organize his troops to prepare for the charge, at this time he really believed that as long as he rushed forward, the battle would be over immediately.
"Bang!"
As soon as their ranks began to line up in a charging formation, a cannonball exploded in the middle of their ranks, and seven or eight puppet soldiers were knocked to the ground. At this time, the leader of the puppet army and the Russian battalion commander had not yet reacted to what was going on, and they were even about to find out which artillery had hit them.
The Russian battalion commander was about to get angry when a puppet soldier on the left flank howled and jumped up, "Quick! Look what's that?! ”
They had been fighting in Mongolia and were not familiar with the tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese troops, and Kizerosky had also concealed the battle reports from the front line to these ordinary soldiers to a certain extent for the sake of the stability of the Mongolian army, so when fifty tanks suddenly lined up and ran over them, many soldiers had a look of horror on their faces.
The Russian battalion commander didn't know what this thing was, but he still subconsciously did what a commander should do, he pulled out his command knife and pointed in the direction of the tank, and howled: "Rush over!" ”
The three words he shouted in Chinese clearly meant that the Mongolian puppet army rushed forward. The leader of the puppet army did not carry out his order at this time, and the brave battle that started first was only because he saw the troops of only two hundred people on the opposite side, and now these guys who suddenly appeared although he had never seen them, but subconsciously told him that this thing was very dangerous.
"Bang! Bang! ”
The shells fired by the tank smashed one after another in the middle of their ranks, and the Russian battalion commander was really a little angry, and the saber was on the neck of the puppet army leader: "I order you, rush over!" ”
The formation of the puppet army has begun to be chaotic, and at this time, the old Maozi on the right flank also shouted in panic, "Cavalry!" Chinese cavalry! ”
After the teams on both flanks appeared, the two hundred cavalry that lured the enemy in front also fiercely pressed up.
The dull and muffled sound of horses' hooves, accompanied by the roar of tanks, rolled towards the Russians, getting closer and closer. At this time, the puppet army did not want to charge, and the whole team had already begun to be in chaos.
Some people hit the front, and some people hit the left and right! Such resistance could not stop the speed of the assault team, and the cavalry on the right rushed to them first, and the fierce fire of the submachine guns swept the enemy off their horses one by one.
The Chinese cavalry who rushed to the front held a rifle in his hand, and kept his body hidden next to the horse, and when he got close to Lao Maozi, he suddenly jumped into shape, and after a loud "boom", those stubborn enemies knocked down a large area, and those who did not die all hugged their heads and wailed.
The Russians were already in a mess, and after firing a row of guns in a panic, before they could prepare for the second shot, that is, in the blink of an eye, the armored troops rushed to them, dozens of revoltains chased after them and strafed them, and the Russian battalion commander and the leader of the puppet army were targeted by four or five tanks at the same time because they were wearing a very conspicuous military uniform, and they were swept into a honeycomb in the blink of an eye.
The Russian troops and the Mongol puppet army had no fighting spirit at this time, and they had only one thought, which was to flee this place as soon as possible. (To be continued......)
