Chapter 295: I Need a Captive

At this time, Dong Ku, who was busy supplying in Harbin, received a report that the whole line had broken through and the news had not leaked, so he directly drafted a telegram and sent it to Goudan.

Goudan frowned as he looked at the simple words of the message.

Looking at the situation of Soviet and Russian forces in the territory, there were at most three divisions, and those Mongol soldiers captured prisoners as long as they did not resist, while the Soviet Russian soldiers were different, they were all hanged, and none of them remained.

Don't take prisoners, they are used to it, even those Soviet Russian men, women and children who are imprisoned in the barracks, the meaning of the dog is that they will never stay. And Dong Ku's telegram made him a little uncertain, in other small places, the number of soldiers in Soviet Russia is not very large, at best, it is a battalion-level unit, a few hundred people larger, how many can there be left in the battle?

Although he has more than 200,000 troops, the area of Mongolia is too large, and it is not possible to complete the rapid occupation in a day or two, but some large places will be left after tonight, and small places will need more than ten days to clean up, and he also has to set up border defenses, and he obviously has no time to take care of the prisoners. After all, captives need to be guarded by manpower, which is not an easy job.

The battle, as the dog expected, took the larger towns with little effort, and for the whole night, no news leaked.

The attack, in front of the silent semi-automatic sniper rifles and shell guns with silencers, was quick and swift, and these elites, who had already experienced several major wars, were even more familiar with the attack, leaving the Russian and Mongol soldiers unable to resist, and even if there was an occasional strong attack, it was also crushed with one blow.

In the early hours of the morning, a total of more than 30 important towns were easily taken, and the army was also running wildly. Rushed to Ulaanbaatar, and the vanguard Han Jie also arrived in Charan.

didn't care about resting, Han Jie went directly to Goudan to report, Goudan was the commander-in-chief this time, how could he dare to report to receive the task?

In more than 30 locations, Goudan captured less than 10,000 Soviet Russian men, women, and children, and none of the soldiers. Just as he was pinching the telegram and worrying, Han Jie reported loudly, and a frost flower stood in front of him.

Goudan saw Han Jie for the second time, he didn't treat him as an outsider, at present, there are two division commanders here, he directly handed the telegram in his hand to Han Jie, and said: "This is the captain's message." ”

"Captain's message?"

Han Jie glanced at the frowning commander and looked down at the message in confusion.

I need captives.

The five-word message made Han Jie stunned. This was the briefest order he had ever given since he came into contact with Dong Ku.

To be captured?

Han Jie frowned and said, "Chief, the captain needs people, it's not as simple as needing prisoners." ”

"Need people?"

Goudan looked up at Han Jie, not understanding what this meant.

"Hmm. Before I came, the supply force behind me escorted a large number of exploration technicians, and I estimated that the captain needed to open a mine to attack here, and he needed people to open a mine. Although we can take the whole of Mongolia, we can't hurt the foundation here. The Mongols here can't be dealt with as casually as Soviet Russia, their population is not large, and a large number of miners are needed to open mines, and the gate on Lao Chiang's side is open, but we may not be able to get many people from there. ”

Mining?

Only then did the dog know the main purpose of Lu Dao's attack on Mongolia this time, and it was obvious that Han Jie's judgment would not be wrong.

"Since you can't hurt the root here. Then we can't catch the Mongols here as miners, hire, the captain didn't mention it, apparently he didn't plan to spend money. ”

"yes."

Han Jie said, taking off his hat. He patted the frost that began to melt on his body and looked at the military map of Soviet Russia hanging on the wall.

He only glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he stared at the map and said, "Chief, the captives have fallen." ”

"Got it?"

Dog Dan said Han Jie's gaze looked at the map, and suddenly, he understood what Han Jie meant.

"You're talking about hiring miners outside?"

Han Jie laughed when he heard this, and he said without hesitation: "Chief, you see, we are only thirty or forty kilometers away from Gusita Otonsk, and Tuerta is no more than fifty kilometers away from Angarsk and Irkutsk. ”

"Ha Lu Ha! It is worthy of the soldiers under Lao Zhang's hands, and there is a set of robbery! ”

Looking at the smiling dog, Han Jie said curtly: "Isn't this to solve the captivity, I don't know if the captain of the Dao Dao agrees." ”

"No need to ask for instructions, the time is urgent, cut first and then play. At this time, the news of our capture of Ulaanbaatar was not known to Soviet Russia, and there was no news about this in the intercepted telegrams, so we had to act quickly, and before Soviet Russia reacted, we were raiding several places, and the army of horses and plows would arrive later, and tens of thousands of horses and plows were believed to be enough, and one day was enough! ”

As he spoke, he directly drafted a telegram and gave an order to the army of horses and plows and the nearest troops to move towards Turga and make a quick sortie to storm the two towns of Angarsk and Irkutsk, and could not wait for the attack to be dark, at that time I am afraid that the news will leak.

After receiving the message from the dog, Ulaanbaatar's horse-crawling plow, which had unloaded some of the supplies, followed the artillery and ammunition delivery army straight to Charland, and then diverted to Tulta. More than a dozen regiments around have gathered towards Tulta, and according to the speed, the assembly of two divisions can be completed in three hours at most, plus the troops from Ulaanbaatar and a division of Meng Zhaocheng, there are almost six divisions.

When the troops were gathering on the dog's side, the Soviet Russian troops on the opposite side really didn't know that the enemy had arrived in front of them.

Irkutsk and Angarsk are important locations of the Trans-Siberian Railway, where one cavalry division and two infantry divisions are stationed, with a total strength of nearly 50,000. However, they did not know that the battle was just around the corner, and they were still comfortably busy loading and unloading supplies, and the trains were spewing white smoke in and out of the station, pulling the materials unloaded here to 'Izbesk' one by one.

Dong Ku didn't know the dog's movements in Harbin, but he wouldn't stop him if he knew it, after all, the fighter plane was fleeting.

When the army was busy gathering, the reconnaissance team had already set off and touched the vicinity of the target, and soon, the news reached Godan.

Seeing that there were still troop carriers, Goudan pondered, and still sent a telegram to Dong Ku, explaining the situation in detail, after all, the troop carriers have increased variables, and I don't know in what direction the battle will develop.

Dong Ku received the telegram and was taken aback by the boldness of the dog, it is an important town, but it is different from a small place like 'Dalenevchensk', which has only 10,000 inhabitants, there is an important town with a population of more than 100,000, and it is difficult to end the attack, once the Soviet Russia rapidly increases its troops, then the battle stalemate is not very advantageous for the advance army, and it may be stuck and unable to withdraw from the battlefield.

He frowned and pondered, this opportunity is rare, this is indeed a good opportunity not to be missed, and the risk to be taken is not small. If the Soviet Russian army on the side of the tiger head wants to rush to help, it will not be able to reach the destination in a day.

After carefully analyzing the advantages of the two sides, Dong Ku finally agreed to this bold plan, but told in the telegram that interception positions should be set up on the periphery of these three attack points, and the army must not be dragged down.

After giving the order, he pondered the idea of sending a telegram to Xing Yuan, and asked the main elite of the two brigades to be left there with the recruits, and all the others set off, going straight to Mongolia, rushing to the direction of Lake Baikal, and reinforcing the dogs.

Withdrawing the tiger-headed elite, he is not worried at all, because, the river has already begun to run the ice platoon, even if the Soviet Russian troops want to attack, it is unrealistic, leaving two brigades is actually not to prevent the Soviet Russian troops, but to take care of the supplies, and to take care of the materials that have not yet been reloaded.

The army continued to assemble in the telegram, and after receiving the telegram from Dong Ku, Goudan did not hesitate to order the assembled army to set off. He couldn't wait, if the news leaked in Mongolia, he would lose the opportunity to attack again, and then he could only prepare for defense.

Tuerta is the main direction of attack, there is a cavalry division and an infantry division, with a total strength of more than 30,000 troops, which can be said to be a fighting force that should not be underestimated.

At a station, five hours from Irkutsk, four trains with infantry are filling up with water and will soon be here on Lake Baikal.

After one of Meng Zhaocheng's divisions followed the army of horses and plows to Tulta, because his troops were well equipped and carried dozens of Depp, Goudan gave him the task of blocking the attack and ordered him to block the enemy's reinforcements twenty kilometers north of Irkutsk for a day.

Han Jie is in charge of the attack here, his task is relatively simple, take all the surrounding towns, and his strength is only a division, with a second brigade, not much more than the defenders.

Dong Ku was also nervous when the big war was about to begin, but he needed people too much.

Mongolia is rich in minerals, and he can fully mine minerals in the coming month to meet the steel demand in Harbin, but people are a problem, and 180,000 miners are not good at what to do. It's not that he can't afford to pay, but the population of Mongolia is not dense, and he can't catch laborers, which causes anger and resentment.

After Goudan explained his intentions, he also urgently needed Soviet Russian prisoners there, this was the war stage, the hostility stage, and it didn't matter what means. The winner has the right to set the direction recorded in history.

Besides, he doesn't mind looting Soviet towns and cities, which is a common trick of Soviet Russia, and it doesn't matter if he uses it. It's revenge.

After crossing the vague border, the army quickly rushed to their respective targets, leaving no chickens and dogs in the small villages along the way, and no news leaked along the way.

At this time, these three attack points were already under the close watchful eye of the reconnaissance team, and until the large army approached, they did not move, obviously not knowing that the enemy was only a kilometer or two away from them. (To be continued......)
