874 Conquest of Siberia
Xiao Yingwu said: "Then what you mean is to loot this batch of forage and provide it for herdsmen to use when there is a snow disaster, right?" ”
Lin Yuan nodded, and Xiao Yingwu said again: "But what about those people? They are being coerced by the Russians and will not get out of the way, so we can't force our way in, right? ”
Lin Yuan said: "Let's find a way to disperse these people, and then we can take the opportunity to attack Kyakhta, with the current state of the Russian army, it is impossible to fight with us in the streets with peace of mind, either surrender or flee, so we can capture Kyakhta quickly." ”
As soon as Lin Yuan's words came out, everyone began to think of a way, and Lin Yuan suddenly said: "I thought of a way, don't we have tear gas?" Hit a few shots outside the crowd and the crowd will definitely disperse, and then we'll get in. ”
A staff officer said: "What should the Russians do when they see the people scattering and fleeing in all directions, and shoot at the people?" ”
Lin Yuan said: "We reconnoitred in advance to determine the place where the Russians were hidden, and when I went over just now, I noticed that the houses here are relatively small, and it is not easy to hide people inside, and when we shoot tear gas, we also put a few shots on the houses where the Russians are hidden, and the Russians inside will definitely not be able to stand it, and we will kill them as soon as they come out." ”
Everyone immediately began to act, tear gas was also distributed to the troops, the troops immediately had a grenade canister attached to the rifle to beat the tear gas out of the canister, the tear gas dispersion range of the tear gas is related to the temperature, when the temperature is low, the dispersion area will be small, but this is not a big deal, only a few more shots are needed, the gas dispersion area of a tear gas canister is about 100 square meters, the crowd is not very large, five tear gas canisters passed, and the whole crowd was filled with white smoke.
The smoke is made up of capsaicin extracted from chili peppers, which do not have any toxic side effects except for the burning sensation in the eyes, nose and mouth, just like people eating chili peppers. Although there are relatives who are controlled by the Russians, they are just ordinary people after all, and they still escaped in such an environment, and in the blink of an eye, a passage appeared on the street.
The armored troops soon rushed in, crushing the stone paved ground to pieces, and what was surprising was that the Russians hiding in the house did not shoot the civilians at all, the reason was very simple, they all knew that the troops of Lu Dao Lin Yuan would definitely come in, and putting the civilians on the street was just to resist for a while, and the final result was the same.
The Russians also knew that Lin Yuan would not let them go if they killed the Chinese, so they surrendered one after another, Adkins had long been ready to escape, saw Lin Yuan's troops kill in, immediately fled with his subordinates, and in less than ten minutes, Lin Yuan's troops controlled the entire city of Kyakhta, including the forage field.
After taking control of Kyakhta, Lin Yuan immediately ordered the first division to attack the Russian cavalry on the east and west flanks, in order to deal with the Russian cavalry, Lin Yuan specially changed the firepower of the first division, each squad strengthened two machine gun detachments, and the members of the detachment were transferred from other divisions, so that the firepower of the first division was equivalent to three times the original! Where is the opponent of the Russian cavalry.
What Lin Yuan didn't know was that there were many elements on the battlefield that were beneficial to Lin Yuan's troops, for example: a lot of forage from the Russian army on the East Road was transported by Da Shengkui's caravan, and Da Shengkui's caravan found that the Russian army was transporting something like powder.
So Da Shengkui's caravan also ground the croton into powder, mixed into the soybeans, and mixed a lot, croton in traditional Chinese medicine has the effect of "Jun Xia", the so-called "Jun Xia", simply put, it is to make people or animals have diarrhea, and the pull is particularly violent, so it is called "Jun Xia", the Russian army's war horse is already delicate, and it can't bear it after a hard pull, and the speed suddenly slows down.
Although the forage of the Russian army on the western route is transported by itself, because of the unfavorable organization, the war horses of the Russian army on the western route have not had forage for a long time, and the war horses can only eat the grass on the ground by themselves, just as Zaheer said to Lin Yuan: people are not used to eating, and horses are not used to running, so the combat effectiveness of the cavalry on the western route has also been greatly reduced.
However, these two cavalry units did not perceive their own problems, they also carried out a group attack in the face of the first division, and the result was that the machine guns with a high rate of fire were used as targets, and in less than two days, more than 40,000 Russian troops on both sides were all scattered, more than half of them were killed, and the rest were either taken prisoner or scattered and fled back to Russia.
Lin Yuan saw that the Mongolian war situation was calm, so he began to build Kyakhta, he mobilized a group of engineering construction detachments from the northeast, and built a large number of permanent defense facilities here, including fortresses and military camps, Lin Yuan had already thought about it: Kyakhta could directly face Siberia, which was a vast plain, which was most suitable for armored troops to exert their might.
So Lin Yuan arranged the Seventh Division here, Xiao Yingwu heard the news that Lin Yuan asked them to garrison the Russian-Mongolian border, and said to Lin Yuan excitedly: "It's really good that we have troops here, as long as we want to fight Siberia in the future, our Seventh Division can rush directly to the Ural Mountains, so that the entire Siberia, including the West Siberian Plain, and the Central Siberian Plateau will become the land of the Chinese, and Russia will return to their pre-16th century land status, Only owns the Eastern European Plain. ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "There will definitely be such a day, but I don't plan to attack immediately, because in that case, the battle line will be too long, and the entire Siberia, a total of 12.76 million square kilometers of land, will suddenly become Chinese territory, which is an absolute shock to the world world, I don't want to take this step so quickly, I want to take my time, in a safe way, Siberia will slowly evolve into Chinese land." ”
Lin Yuan continued: "This matter is absolutely certain, most of the Russians in this land are prisoners of hard labor and poor peasants, we can use economic and ideological means to slowly assimilate them, and move our inhabitants here, and then set up the tsar as our common enemy, and then we will make Siberia independent and become a puppet state under our control, so that Siberia will be ours." ”
Lin Yuan arranged these long-term plans, and received news from the rear, the intelligence station of the horse bandits had been reconnoitred, should they be defeated now?
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It seems that those pigeons have already played a role, we have been beating ** before, and we didn't take care of these horse bandits, now we can beat them!" ”
So Lin Yuan ordered: "Destroy the intelligence station of the horse bandits immediately." "The fight against the horse bandits was the responsibility of the remaining troops of the 1st Division, and they immediately started to fight when they received the order, and it only took less than an hour to destroy all the intelligence stations of the horse bandits.
Lin Yuan then asked about the situation of the two horse bandits of "Black Sandstorm" and "Wild Wolf King", and quickly got a reply: "The lair of these two horse bandits has been locked." ”
