At the Zhangjiakou Central Cluster Headquarters, Leng Yifei was fascinated by a wooden chariot placed on the table, and seemed to be very engrossed. This kung fu door opened Chief of Staff Khaled, and Deputy Commander Li Tianxiang walked in. "Commander, our combat jihua, the headquarters has approved it, this is a telegram just sent!" Khalid spoke first. At present, cable telegraph lines have been laid from the capital to Zhangjiakou, so the orders of the headquarters can be quickly issued to the headquarters.

Leng Yifei took the telegram and glanced at it and said: "Great, order the attacking troops to get ready, before April 25, the vanguard must enter the Outer Mongolian grassland." Li Tianxiang said: "The original Jihua 4 armies marched into the Outer Mongolian grassland in two ways, and there was no change in the call from the headquarters!" "It's great that the original jihua remains the same." Li Tianxiang immediately signed his name in the notebook of an operational staff officer and said: "Immediately order the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th armies to prepare and set off at any time." Tell the commander of the 1st Army that my command is located in his military headquarters. ”

After the combat staff officer left, Leng Yifei said: "This time we are using infantry to fight cavalry, and it is an encounter. How to win with odds depends on this vehicle. Chief of Staff Khalid said: "After repeated shiyan, the effect is good. "Three heavy machine guns are placed on the vehicle, the coverage area is fan-shaped, there is no dead angle at 180 degrees, and in an emergency, it can be quickly deployed and armed, which basically meets the requirements of actual combat." Li Tianxiang interjected.

Leng Yifei said: "After all, there is a gap between the drill and the actual combat, if you face the charge of the enemy's cavalry group, in addition to the chariot, other preventive measures should also be considered carefully." Deputy Commander Li, you led the four corps to take the lead into the grassland. The purpose is to annihilate the enemy in large numbers at the minimum cost. The main force of our cavalry participated in the western expedition and is now advancing into the Outer Mongolian steppe. Only the Mongol cavalry divisions of Bazar assisted in the operation. ”

Leng Yifei continued: "The main task of the Mongolian cavalry division in Bazar is to take on reconnaissance, after all, they are familiar with the grassland. At present, our situation, the Russian army has fully understood, they have become very small, so the battle against the Russian army will not be as smooth as before. At this time, an operational staff officer came in and reported: "Report to the commander, the reconnaissance unit of the Mongolian cavalry division has obtained a new situation." Duolun suddenly requisitioned the Russian infantry unit, about two divisions. ”

Khalid said: "Commander, it seems that the deployment of heavy troops by the Russian army in the Baikal region has been verified. The increase in infantry units of the Russian army in Doron is proof of this. If the situation is true, it is very likely that the Russian army will increase its forces in Kobdo and Uriya Sutai, which will make it more difficult for us to counterattack Kobdo in the next step. Li Tianxiang said: "The CIA, using former Qing court officials in Mongolia to spy on intelligence. weishenme doesn't have any news now? ”

Leng Yifei groaned and said, "It takes time for the CIA to lay out the Outer Mongolian grassland. If there is accurate information, they will be the first to come. At the moment, the arrow has to be sent to the string, in order to respond to all changes, and the Jihua who counterattacked Kobdo cannot be changed. Deputy Commander Li, after you led and ordered four corps to advance into the steppe and attract Russian troops, the chief of staff immediately led two corps to counterattack Kobdo. As long as we capture Kobdo, we will occupy the initiative on the battlefield. ”

After several people finished deliberating. Li Tianxiang rushed to the First Army non-stop, preparing to march into the Outer Mongolian grassland. Chief of Staff Khalid and Leng Yifei discussed for a while. and walked out of the headquarters. At this time, the courtyard is extremely busy, the army is about to start an operation, and the logistics must be in advance to enter the state. "Ha Chief of Staff!" Suddenly, a pleasant woman's voice came to him, and Khalid looked at it and saw Li Qing coming out of the opposite room.

Khalid was a little flustered and too late to dodge. Li Qing was dressed in a women's military uniform, did not wear a military hat, had short ear-length hair tied together, and pinned a beautiful hairpin. Li Qing is not particularly beautiful, her eyes are not big or small, but she is white and clean, and her figure is taller than that of Jiangnan women, giving people a slim feeling, especially the half-heeled leather shoes, which looks even more amorous.

Li Qing, as Li Hongzhang's daughter, has a prominent background and a unique temperament, even if she is wearing a military uniform, she exudes a noble charm all over her body. Li Qing is literate and literate, so he works as a secretary in the cluster command. Since Li Qing came to the headquarters, Khalid tried his best to avoid her, and Li Qing did not deliberately pester him, and he was safe during this time. However, every time Khalid saw Li Qing, the girl used a pair of talking eyes to convey some kind of message to him, which often made him uneasy.

"Miss Li Qing, the big war is coming, I'm very busy! Do you have something to do with me? Khalid looked businesslike, and his tone seemed very flat. Chief of Staff, I heard that you are going on an expedition, and the prairie is very cold in the spring, so I made you a mink shoulder, and he will not protect against the wind and cold. After Li Qing finished speaking, he took out the mink shoulder from the back. Miss Li Qing, the gift is too expensive for me to accept. ”

"This is a piece of my heart, just take it!" After Li Qing finished speaking, he stuffed the package into Khaled's arms and ran away with a crimson face. Khaled's head was big again, which was an obvious show of affection. It's not that you don't chase it, so you just watched Li Qing run away. Khalid was dumbfounded for a long time, and his brain seemed dizzy. As the saying goes: women chase men across the paper, and men chase women across the mountain. Slang said: A female royal ten husbands, nine dizzy, one is not dizzy, is a big idiot.

"Chief of Staff, it's time for us to go!" The guard pursed his lips and reminded with a smile. Khalid woke up like a dream, and saw the guard's strange expression and scolded, "What do you see? "Report to the Chief of Staff, my subordinates didn't see anything!" Khalid tossed the package to the guards and said, "Keep it for me, if anyone else knows, beware of me picking you up." "Chief of Staff! Rest assured, you won't let anyone know! This person naturally refers to his wife.

At the headquarters in the capital, Chen Jintang said: "President, the Eastern Front Army plans to launch an attack on the morning of April 25, and the combat jihua report has come up, if you have no objection, I will give an order." Deng Zixuan's eyes pointed at the military map and said, "There is no doubt, you can give an order." Chen Jintang walked forward, and Wang Xiaoer, the minister of logistics, walked in, "My minister of logistics, is there anything wrong with the military quartermaster?" It's all up to you! ”

"The president is here to report to you. The army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, I am in a hurry! Wang Xiaoer showed a tired state. Deng Zixuan smiled and did not squeak. Wang Xiaoer understood that he should get to the point: "At present, we have a reserve of 500 million guns and ammunition, 3 million shells of various types, and 1 million grenades. 3 million sets of military uniforms were prepared. In Shengjing and Zhangjiakou, first-class hospitals were built respectively???????。 After Wang Xiaoer finished reporting to the family, Deng Zixuan said: "3 million sets of military uniforms are far from enough, the more the merrier, try to prepare as much as possible." At the moment we have recruited reservists, about 500,000 people, and they also need uniforms, understand? ”

After Wang Xiaoer left, Wan Chuan followed and walked in and said: "President, I just got the information, through the operation of the previous dynasty, I am currently in contact with the Manchu officials of Uriya Sutai, and they agreed to send information to us, and it is estimated that the official information will be transmitted back tomorrow." At present, my people are already lurking in Duolun, and if Uriya Sutai can establish an intelligence station, the military intelligence of the Outer Mongolian grassland will form a scale. ”

"Weishenme's intelligence in Duolun is not comprehensive now, the reconnaissance unit of the Mongolian cavalry has reported that about two divisions of army units have appeared in Duolun, and your intelligence department Weishenme has no accurate intelligence feedback?" Deng Zixuan's tone was a little dissatisfied.

Wan Chuan said: "President, your request for information must be thorough and accurate. If we do not know the number, weaponry, number of personnel, and specific tasks of the Russian troops, the intelligence personnel will not easily transmit the information back. In addition, it takes time to travel long distances. Deng Zixuan nodded, and his tone became soothed: "I know that the intelligence work in the Outer Mongolia grassland has just begun, especially in the vast Outer Mongolia grassland, and the difficulty can be imagined. However, with a major war imminent, accurate military intelligence is very important for us to plan a campaign. Now it's going to be multi-pronged, and your intelligence services are going all out, I don't need objective reasons. "Yes! Subordinate Order! ”

Wan Chuan left in a hurry, and greeted Pei Gejin who came in at the door, Wan Chuan almost didn't even say hello, and passed by with a gloomy face. "President, Wan Chuan has changed too much, as if he owes him money, he doesn't seem to know each other when he sees me, and he doesn't even say hello." Deng Zixuan explained with a smile: "The responsibility lies with me, it was I who let him engage in intelligence work, and the long-term mental pressure has cultivated his indifference, so don't worry about him." ”

Pei Gejin shook his head and changed the subject: "President! The operational jihua reported by the central cluster is forwarded back in your name, and the staff has added a few suggestions, all of which are details of the matter. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Leng Yifei has made the chariot very distinctive, especially against the cavalry troops, it will definitely play a role." Deng Zixuan's mind conjured up the mighty body of the tank and chariot, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Yes, the General Staff has carefully analyzed and also believes that wooden chariots can work wonders against cavalry. Pei Ge agreed.

Pei Gejin remembered something and asked: "President, several newspapers in the capital have unanimously asked to report on the situation of the war in order to boost the morale of the people, and have asked us to provide information on how to reply to them. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Providing information now is like leaking secrets." Tell them not to rush. Once a large-scale offensive begins, we will provide the status of the battle at any time. Now let your imagination be unleashed, you can make bold guesses, and the more mysterious it is, the more advantageous it is. True and false, false and true, we cannot underestimate public opinion momentum. ”

Deng Zixuan continued: "You bring in the reporters and editors of the Beijing Newspaper, and I will teach them how to do it, so that we can confuse our enemies." Pei Gejin left, the staff officers in the war room were still busy nervously, and Deng Zixuan's eyes were aimed at the military map again and pondered. (To be continued......)
