After the conclave, written by Nyamdorgi, Le? Enabhi and U? The insurrection mobilization order, signed by Enkhtubsin's three people, was hidden in the bodies of more than a dozen secret envoys, and on the same day it left the city of Kulen and was sent to all parts of Outer Mongolia.

What the leaders and backbone elements of the "Outer Mongolia Independent League" did not expect was that all the people who entered and exited the secret meeting held in the lama monastery fell into the eyes of the agents of the Outer Mongolia Region of the Investigation Department, who were secretly monitoring them, because the time for the operation had not yet arrived, so they were not alarmed.

However, more than a dozen secret envoys with important missions hurriedly left Kulun City, which was a new situation, and this situation was immediately reported to Yu Deshui, director of the Intelligence Division, and Shen Jun, director of the Investigation Division, who were sitting at the Kulen Headquarters in the Outer Mongolia Region of the Investigation Department.

Yu Deshui looked at Shen Jun and said with a smile: "Director Shen, what do you mean?" ”

Shen Jun slapped the table and replied: "Let's use the means, these guys have just finished a secret meeting, and more than a dozen backbone elements have left the city, they must be on a mission, if you are lucky, you can get dry goods!" ”

Yu Deshui looked at Shen Jun and asked, "It's up to your people, or mine?" Or do you want to do it together? ”

Shen Jun clenched his fists and said: "Do this kind of work, our investigation department is willing to bow down, my brother doesn't dare to steal the limelight from you as the director, it's better for your people to do it!" After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.

After the dozen or so envoys of the "Outer Mongolia Independent League" with secret letters left Kulen City, they fell into a coma at different times on the way to their respective destinations, and after waking up, they all had a memory, which was inexplicably lost, and they couldn't remember it anyway. What did you go through?

Kulun, at about four o'clock in the afternoon of September 19, Yu Deshui and Shen Jun, looking at the information from the report, were convinced that since the forces of the "Outer Mongolia Independent Alliance" had already obtained the time to hold the riot, the next problem would be solved. Although only six of the dozen secret envoys were searched for secret letters, the true Cheng Dù of this matter could also be determined.

Shen Jun looked at Yu Deshui and said, "Report to the division commander!" The division commander's original departure time was two o'clock in the morning tomorrow. Now that I know the exact time of the riot of these guys, according to my opinion. We can build yì division commanders. It is better to postpone the start by one day, so that it is better to be fully prepared, and it is more conducive to the separatists to emerge, as long as it is the day before they start, you can come and see. Director Yu? ”

Yu Deshui's thoughts, like Shen Jun's, did not dare to delay, and the two hurriedly drove to Tang Qiuli's temporary headquarters. After reporting the situation, he explained the construction of the two people, and then waited for the approval of the division commander.

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "I said, the two of you and Chutian are jointly responsible for this matter and have full authority to deal with it, there is no need to ask me, as long as you think it is appropriate, just do it, I only look at the results, there is no chaos in Outer Mongolia, this is my request!" ”

After getting the approval of the division commander, Yu Deshui and Shen Jun drove to the secret station of the special operations detachment, reported the reason for the change in the operation time, and the attitude of the division commander, and then, together with the detachment commander Chu Tian, discussed some details of the operation.

After hearing this, Chu Tian smiled and said: "Two division chiefs, our special operations detachment doesn't care about this, fully cooperate with you, don't use your brains and just do it, as long as you make sure to catch that guy, as for when to do it, that's the matter of the two directors, I don't have to worry about it!" All members of the special operations detachment are guaranteed to be on call at any time! ”

At about five o'clock in the afternoon of September 19, on the south bank of the Sejingge River, Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolian frontier army position, and the grassland in September, at more than five o'clock, it was already sunset in the west, twilight gradually shrouded the earth, and the evening wind blew strongly, and the water of the Seshuangge River, which was more than 100 meters wide, swayed layers of waves, with a slight whistle, and went to the southeast.

Sun Zhenbang put down his sore hands, rubbed his flowery eyes, and the telescope hung on his chest and shook slightly, since the morning, after receiving the enemy report from the division headquarters, Sun Zhenbang's heart was like pressing a thousand pounds of boulder, heavy, he knew what kind of pressure he was going to face, he had never left the forward position, and had been observing the movements on the other side.

The reconnaissance units sent out continued to send back reports, penetrating 40 kilometers into the north bank of the Sesagoge River, but found no enemy situation, and still did not find the enemy situation until 60 kilometers.

According to the division commander's telegram, in three days, the Soviet army has been assembled, and today, it should be the beginning of the offensive, but he and his troops have been on full alert for a whole day, but there is no movement at all.

According to the conventional analysis, the Soviet army has an absolute advantage in terms of strength and equipment, and it should not be so cautious, the sunset has been completely hidden in the twilight, and in the lens of the telescope, except for the dusk, nothing can be seen, not even a trace of light.

Sun Zhenbang put down his binoculars, looked at his watch, and at 6:35 p.m. on the evening of 19 September, he sighed and said to the staff officers beside him: "Send a telegram to the division commander that at 6:35 p.m. on the front line of the river and the river, no signs of the Soviet offensive have been found, and our reconnaissance unit has not found any enemy situation, and is preparing to go deep into the vicinity of Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude for reconnaissance. ”

After sending the telegram, Sun Zhenbang's heart felt a sense of relief, from the bottom of his heart, he absolutely hoped that the Soviet army would never move like this, and his own troops would not have to face huge pressure, as long as they could survive five or six days, the main force of the directly subordinate corps would catch up, and it would not be certain who would attack whom!

Soon, the division commander Tang Qiuli's reply arrived, "Zhenbang, the Soviet army has not taken action so far, whether it is brewing a large-scale offensive, it is not yet known, your unit must be ready to fight at any time, especially at night, and must not be relaxed, in addition, the reconnaissance unit does not need to go too deep into the Baikal area to conduct reconnaissance, so as not to alarm the Soviet army, and keep in touch at any time!" ”

After reading the division commander's reply, Sun Zhenbang ordered: "Send a telegram to all reconnaissance units, the reconnaissance range, the range of reconnaissance is better than the range of 40 kilometers on the north bank, once the Soviet army is discovered, immediately withdraw to the area on the south bank of the Sejingge River, notify the brigade and regiment commanders, and immediately go to the headquarters for a meeting!" ”

At about 7 o'clock in the evening of 19 September, a meeting of the commanders of the Outer Mongolian border guards at the level of brigade and regiment commanders was held.

For two or three days, more than 50,000 soldiers were always in a state of high tension, ready to resist the attack of the Soviet army at any time, and they were not iron-clad people, and physical and mental exhaustion was a normal reaction.

Sun Zhenbang said: "For two or three days, the troops have always been on high alert, but the Soviet army has not launched an offensive, and if it continues like this, the troops will have to be dragged down. ”

Major General Li Changjiang, commander of the Fifth Cavalry Brigade who withdrew here from Ulan-Ude, stood up and said: "Commander, I have also seen in the past few days that our cavalry is useless in fighting a positional blocking war. ”

"Make full use of the characteristics of the cavalry to move quickly and be good at long-distance raids, fight a guerrilla war with the Soviet army in the vast area from Lake Baikal to the north bank of the Sejinga River, constantly attack and destroy the Soviet army's logistics supply lines, if you seize the opportunity to take advantage of the Soviet army's lone troops, you will pounce on it and bite it hard, and leave after the fight, first, it can disrupt the Soviet army's logistics system, and second, it can also disperse the pressure of the Soviet army on the frontal position.

If from a tactical point of view, Li Changjiang's method is the best policy, fighting a positional blocking war, the cavalry is indeed useless, even if the division commander gives an order for flexible defense, resisting step by step, in the face of the overall advance of the Soviet mechanized corps, it is difficult for the cavalry to have a chance to counterattack, and the strength of the two cavalry brigades is almost idle.

However, Sun Zhenbang thought deeper, at the beginning of the Soviet offensive, the division commander ordered the second and fifth cavalry brigades to quickly retreat south, fearing that the superior forces of the Soviet army would be encircled in the Baikal area, and now, the Soviet army has gathered more troops, and will put the third and fifth brigades into the area on the north bank of the Sejingge River, the danger is self-evident, in case, the two cavalry brigades are surrounded by the Soviet army or bitten, it will be dangerous!

Sun Zhenbang hesitated for a while, and the words of division commander Tang Qiuli sounded in his ears again, "Zhenbang, the battle of the Gege River is full of difficulties, you will have to face the great pressure of the Soviet army, the troops will be handed over to you, you must have the ability to deal with it on the spot, seize a favorable fighter, the blocking war, not only rely on the fortifications to defend to the death, a few years of comfortable life in the Outer Mongolia region, will not wear away your fighting spirit!" Think about it, in the southeast of Jin Province three times in one night, fighting Lucheng, attacking Tunliu, Xia Licheng Sun Laohu, is the prestige? ”

Sun Zhenbang's cheeks burned like a fire, indeed, in the Outer Mongolia region for a few years, he was devoted to seeking stability, and he lost a lot of sharpness, in the southeast of Shanxi, with less than 40,000 second-rate troops, he dared to gallop among the hundreds of thousands of troops of Okamura Ningci, today, what is wrong with him?

Sun Zhenbang Huo Ran got up, and said with blazing eyes: "Okay, Brigade Commander Li, I agree with your and Brigade Commander Zeng's plan, the troops will start to prepare, cross the Sejingge River tonight, behind Lao Maozi's back, make a good fuss about him, I will immediately report the plan to the division commander, and after getting approval, act immediately!" ”
