Chapter 220: Lao Maozi is also killed (asking for a monthly ticket)
The attack on the provincial government of Mongolia is nothing more than a rabble, they are nothing more than demagogic lamas and some people whose interests have been harmed. There is no formal military training, and there is not enough weaponry, even if there are many people. But in the face of the powerful firepower of the Northern Army, there was still only a share of slaughter.
Outside the gates of the provincial government of Mongolia, layers of corpses have been piled up. The mob that was lucky enough not to die also retreated far away, and then looked at the northern officers and soldiers in the provincial government building with a frightened expression. It was the first time they had seen such a formidable army, even much more powerful than the legendary Northern Army. However, after the mob retreated, they did not flee immediately, but watched from afar, as if they were still waiting for an opportunity.
Prince Hangda Dorji and Grand Lama Chelin Tsimit, as the main envoys of these Mongols, have been waiting for news.
"Your Highness, the Northern Army has made a move, they have wantonly slaughtered the Mongols, and the Mongols outside the gate of the provincial government have suffered heavy casualties." One of his men came to report.
"Haha, good, great! Ordered our men to prepare to participate in the attack on the provincial government, and must take the provincial government and capture Sun Liechen before the northern army outside the city enters the city. Also, contact Consul Liu Ba, now we need his help. Prince Hangda Dorji ordered. If Sun Liechen can be captured, he may be able to use this to blackmail the northern army outside the city and buy them enough time. The reason for asking Consul Liu Ba for help was to hope that the armed forces at the disposal of the Russian caravan would be able to enter the battle.
"Yes, Your Highness." The men immediately left.
"Great Lama, it's time for us to go and see the Living Buddha. The Han Chinese have already started killing, and we cannot sit idly by. Prince Hangda Dorji said. This riot was originally planned by them. In order to use this to force the living Buddha of Jebtsundamba VIII to express his position.
"Hmm. I believe that the Living Buddha will no longer have illusions about those Han people this time. Chelin Zimit nodded.
The two once again went to Gaden Monastery to see the living Buddha Jebtsundampa VIII. He was asked to call on all the Mongols to rise up against the northern government, expel the Han Chinese, and then establish an independent Great Mongol state.
At the Russian consulate in Kulen, Consul Liu Ba was talking to a middle-aged man wearing a Russian military uniform with no rank.
"Colonel Mikhail, the Mongols in the city of Kulen have already begun to act, and they have already started a battle against the government in the north. Merely. They are too weak to need our help. Next, it's up to your troops to perform. I have already reported the situation here to His Excellency the Governor of Eastern Siberia, and our reinforcements will be coming soon. Consul Liu Ba said.
"Yes, Your Excellency. However, I only have more than 3,000 people in my hands, and they are all people who have been retired for many years. In addition, we do not have enough heavy weapons in our hands. If you want to resist the northern army outside the city, I am afraid it will be very difficult. Colonel Mikhail said.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can hold out until the Mongols take the provincial government. When the time comes, the Living Buddha will stand up and proclaim the establishment of the Great Mongolian State, and the Russian Empire will recognize this country as soon as possible. Moreover, if the Great Mongolian Congress invites us to send troops, we will have a legitimate reason to enter Mongolia. Our diplomats will also put pressure on the northern government at this time. Consul Liu Ba looked confident.
"Okay. Your Excellency the Consul. In that case, there is no problem. Colonel Mikhail nodded. Let the caravans at his disposal be armed to fight the regular army of the Northern Army. He had no faith. But as long as they held out until the Mongols took the provincial government, it would not be a big problem. After all, as we all know, the Northern Army, which protects the provincial government building, has only about 200 people. The Mongol separatists also had more than 2,000 private troops in their hands. Ten times the number of troops. No matter how you can defeat those northern armies, you can't defeat them.
In order to invade Mongolia, the Russians have been planning for a long time. They deliberately sent a large number of caravans into various parts of Mongolia, and the members of these caravans were almost all retired soldiers. Together with the weapons they had secretly hidden, they had armed a force of more than 3,000 men in Kulen alone. Merely. They were armed only with some rifles and heavy machine guns, and had no artillery.
The Russians also quickly moved and, under the leadership of Colonel Mikhail, rushed to the walls of Kulen to prepare to resist the attack of the Northern Army.
The barracks of the Northern Army were located just outside the city of Kulen, less than ten kilometers away from the city of Kulen. After the telephone line was cut off, Brigadier General Wang Liangchen realized that something might be going on in the city. He immediately ordered the artillery battalion, reconnaissance battalion, baggage battalion, and guard company of the 6th Cavalry Brigade Headquarters to be ready for battle. The 6th Cavalry Battalion, which was subordinate to the 1st Cavalry Brigade, was likewise ready for battle.
At this time, Wu Haoxuan's order was issued, asking him to immediately lead troops into Kulen and suppress the rebellion. Therefore, Brigadier General Wang Liangchen immediately ordered the 1st Cavalry Battalion to set off immediately, and he led the main force of the brigade headquarters to set off later. As for the barracks, they were handed over to the baggage battalion to look after.
"Da Da Da! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
Fierce fighting took place around the building of the Mongol provincial government, and after the mob was repulsed, the separatist private soldiers of the Mongol princes threw themselves into the siege of the provincial government. There were more than 2,000 of them. These private soldiers launched an attack on the provincial government from all sides. It's just that the weapons in the hands of these private soldiers are only Russian-made Mosin Nagant rifles, not even machine guns.
"The prince said, as long as you attack the provincial government and catch Sun Liechen, everyone will be rewarded with ten yuan! Those who caught Sun Liechen were rewarded with a hundred oceans. and gave a beautiful woman to be his wife. "The steward of Hangda Dorji personally commanded the battle.
"Kill! Rush in and kill all the Han Chinese. "Those private soldiers, who were stimulated by the high rewards, their eyes were red, and they attacked the provincial government with rifles. However, they were greeted by a dense barrage of bullets from the Northern Army.
"Da Da Da!"
Light and heavy machine guns were roaring, and dense bullets were slamming past. And the charge of those Mongolian private soldiers braving the rain of bullets is more like sending them to death. These private soldiers, even if they are armed with Russian rifles. But they had no formal military training, and at best they were bullying the poor herdsmen.
"Ahh Yes! ”
The screams kept rang out, and people were shot and fell to the ground, losing their lives. Even those who were lucky enough not to die were howling miserably on the ground. It's just that on the battlefield where bullets are flying, no one will save them.
"Humph! It's just a rabble. Let the troops use all their firepower to defeat them as quickly as possible. We must rush to Gaden Monastery as soon as possible and take control of Jebtsundampa VIII. Wu Haoxuan's face was disdainful. With the combat strength of these guys, they dare to resist the rule of the northern government, and they also take the initiative to attack the provincial government of Mongolia Province, which is simply not knowing whether they are alive or dead.
"Yes, young marshal." Zhao Hu nodded.
As one order after another was issued, the light and heavy machine guns and mortars erected on the roof of the provincial government building began to fire in full force. The heavy firepower caused heavy losses to those private soldiers. The snipers hiding in the building took this opportunity to shoot those private soldiers one by one.
Inside Gaden Monastery, Prince Hangda Dorji and Grand Lama Chelin Tsimit are complaining about the atrocities of the Northern Army in front of the Living Buddha of Jebtsundampa VIII.
"Lord Living Buddha, look at it! Now the Mongols are bleeding, and those damned Han dogs are slaughtering your people. They just went to the provincial government to petition. But the Han dogs gave the order to shoot. The Mongols suffered heavy casualties in front of the provincial government, and the corpses had been piled up in a thick layer. If we don't react, I'm afraid those Han dogs will come to Ganden Monastery. Prince Hangda Dorji cried.
"Yes! The Living Buddha. We can't afford to sit still. You have to rebel against those Han people. Grand Lama Chelin Tsimit also said.
"But, but those troops outside the city, can we resist them?" Jebtsundamba VIII was a little worried.
"Lord Living Buddha, those Han troops have been handed over to our Russian friends to deal with, so we don't have to worry too much. We just need to lay down the provincial government. As long as Sun Liechen is caught, we will be invincible. Prince Hangda Dorji said.
The Living Buddha Jebtsundamba VIII nodded, but he still hadn't made up his mind.
"Living Buddha, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Karina, the living Buddha woman, said.
"Well, since those Han people are massacring my people, then don't blame us. Let my guards join the attack. Jebtsundamba VIII said.
"Yes, Living Buddha." Prince Hangda Dorji and Grand Lama Chelin Zimit both replied excitedly. The Living Buddha agreed to let the Guards participate in the war, which already represented his attitude.
Outside the city of Kulen, units of the 6th Cavalry Brigade of the Northern Army had already arrived under the city. However, now the low city walls have been garrisoned by Russian caravans, and the city gates have been closed. The Russians set up machine guns on the city walls, preparing to block the attack of the Northern Army.
"Brigade commander, it's the Russians who are stationed on the walls, what should we do?" The battalion commander of the 1st Cavalry Battalion asked.
"What else can I do? Kulen is our Chinese land, and those Russians actually appeared on our weapons with weapons, which is an invasion of us. Order the artillery, fire the cannon and hit the fuck hard. Even if it's an old man, he will kill me correctly. Brigadier General Wang Liangchen ordered. After getting Wu Haoxuan's order, he naturally had nothing to fear. (To be continued......)
