Chapter 205 Frontal Attack (3)
However, the Dalinol Lake area is more than 200 kilometers away from Chifeng, so the Mongolian army can still implement the corresponding tactics formulated by Russian officers when pushing the front line to this area.
So the Mongolian army was stationed in the Dalinol Lake area and arranged the camps according to the drawings provided by the Russian officers. After the People's Army sent troops, the Mongolian army did attack the People's Army along the way and launched a night attack. However, beyond the expectations of the Mongolian army, the People's Army was well harshly guarded, and the Mongolian army not only did not occupy any easy things, but also suffered more than 400 casualties, which caused considerable losses. Therefore, the Mongolian army did not dare to attack the People's Army again.
Now the People's Army is also stationed in the Dalinor Lake area and has begun to build a large number of constructions. Therefore, Damuding, the chief general of the Mongolian army, recruited four other people to negotiate countermeasures.
Maksarza preached: "According to me, no matter what attack or sneak attack, he would just dispatch a large army to fight to the death with the People's Army. We now have more than 20,000 troops, and most of them are cavalry. The People's Army has only 15,000 people at most, and less than 3,000 cavalrymen. Once we fight, we still have a great chance of winning."
Tao Ke Tao Hu shook his head and said, "War is not something that can win if there are more people on that side. It also depends on the excellent weapons. Everyone has seen the result of our attack on the People's Army two days ago, but it is useless at all. The weapons of the People's Army are much more sophisticated than ours! I used to say that the People's Army has a strange chariot that does not require a horse to pull a cow and walks like flying. It is not as good as a sword or a gun. It is very powerful. At that time, I thought everyone still didn't believe it, but now everyone should believe it. And compared with me when I was fighting with the People's Army, the People's Army dispatched more chariots this time. As long as these chariots are in front of us, we cannot be the opponent of the People's Army."
Babuza preached: "Yes, this kind of chariot is indeed powerful!"
Maxarza preached: "According to what you say, what else can we fight? Anyway, we can't beat it. It's better to retreat as soon as possible."
Haishan said: "You can't say that. Although you are not capable of fighting, you can be smart. Besides, even if we can't defeat the People's Army, we can still stay here and prevent the People's Army from passing."
Babuza preached: "How can you learn from wisdom?"
Haishan said: "I don't think the attack will be successful. It's better to use the tactics of attacking the People's Army's transportation team. I think the People's Army has not brought many vehicles this time. I guess the logistics transportation team is following behind. If we can intercept the People's Army's logistics transportation team, the People's Army will not be able to stay in the Dalinol Lake area for a long time, and we will inevitably retreat. Then we will chase after him. No matter how powerful the People's Army's tanks are, they will not be able to save their defeat."
Tao Ke Taohu said: "I think so too. The Russian officers have formulated good tactics for us, and we just need to do it accordingly."
Maksarza preached: "I always feel that I can't believe in the Russians. We Mongolia want to establish a country and cannot rely entirely on Russia. And we also attack the People's Army according to the plan of the Russian officers! It turned out that it was not successful. Can it be possible to attack the People's Army's logistics team? Isn't the People's Army so stupid that they don't send troops to protect their logistics team!"
Haishan said: "No matter whether it is possible or not, we must always give it a try. We cannot believe in the words of the Russians at all, but now that we Mongolia want to establish a country, we must not lack the help of the Russians. Not to mention anything else, aren't all the rifles and bullets we use now sold to us by Russia? Who else sells them to us except Russia? So at least for the time being, we should still believe in Russia."
Babuza preached: "I don't believe in the Russians, but the Russians themselves were defeated by the People's Army. Can the tactics they formulated for us work? I might as well stick to the camp. Anyway, as long as we are blocking here, the People's Army will not be able to pass."
Haishan said: "It is not a solution to continue to consume this way. We cannot waste the People's Army. Although Russia was indeed defeated by the People's Army, victory and defeat are still common. We cannot underestimate Russia because of this failure. Moreover, because Russia was defeated by the People's Army, they must have carefully studied the People's Army's tactics and thought about ways to deal with it. In addition, attacking the enemy's logistics team is also in line with the way of using troops. Therefore, I think the tactics formulated by the Russian officers are still reliable." After a pause, he said: "Let's do this! Commander, let me go to the logistics team of the People's Army this time."
Haishan was born in a Mongolian noble family in Kalaqin Right Banner, Zhuosotu League, Inner Mongolia. When he was young, he served as Meilezhangjing, the Yamen of Kalaqin Right Banner. He did not join Kulun for a long time, but he was highly valued by Dzebuzundanba VIII because he was a young Mongolian senior citizen with a world-renowned vision and had a certain connection base in Russia.
In the past few years, Haishan was forced to flee his hometown and wander around countries because of his crime of escape. Of course, it was basically in Eastern European countries. However, the experiences in recent years not only broadened Haishan's horizons, but also became able to understand several Chinese languages and was well-versed in Chinese. During his travels, he met foreigners such as the Finnish linguist Gustav John Lansti, the Russian Russian soldier Colonel Shidrov. Influenced by Lansti, he came into contact with Western nationalist theories, formed a strong idea of national independence, advocated the founding of Mongolia. In 1907, Haishan returned to Kulun. Because of his relationship with Russia and a certain understanding of international affairs, he was immediately valued by Tserzundanba VIII.
Seeing that Haishan volunteered to fight, the main general Damuding nodded and said, "Okay."
At this time, Maksarzab couldn't sit still anymore. Because he was the only orthodox soldier among the five commanders of the Mongolian army, he served as a commander in the Mongolian Eight Banners Army. So when he saw Haishan ask for battle, Maksarza preached: "Commander, last time it was Babuzab and Taoke Taohu, why did he let Haishan fight alone this time? I went with him."
Damuding** was also quite pleased and said, "Okay, I hope the two generals will succeed."
So when it was not dawn the next morning, the two of them each led 1,500 cavalrymen, left the camp and headed towards Chifeng, and walked until noon, and walked almost 100 kilometers. The men and horses stopped to rest. Before they could rest for half an hour, they saw dust flying in the distance, and the spies in front of them had already returned the horse and found the convoy of the People's Army.
Haishan and Maksarzabu were also a little surprised. They didn't expect to encounter the People's Army's convoy so soon. However, even though they encountered it, they certainly could not let it go. They rested for nearly half an hour. Although they could not fully recover from their fatigue, they also took a breath. Therefore, the two ordered their own soldiers to get on the horse and prepare to attack the People's Army's convoy.
Although the Mongolian army did not train for a long time, Bi Zheng grew up on horseback, so his movements were very clean and neat. It took only less than 10 minutes to everyone get on the horse, and they sorted out their weapons and equipment, and then followed the two main generals and ran towards the convoy.
After running for more than ten minutes, the scene in front gradually became clearer, and both of them were shocked. It turned out that there were only a dozen strange-looking vehicles lined up horizontally and galloping towards them, as fast as a galloping horse, and the dust raised behind the car covered the sky and the sun. Neither of them had ever fought with the People's Army, but at this time they knew that this was the kind of strange car that Tao Ke and Tao Hu mentioned.
In fact, as soon as the Mongolian army was dispatched, it was discovered by the People's Army reconnaissance personnel lurking near the garrison and immediately reported to the People's Army's camp. After receiving the report, Ouyang Longxing immediately understood that this Mongolian army either attacked Chifeng or intercepted the People's Army's transportation convoy, because yesterday Ouyang Longxing received the news from Chifeng that the transportation convoy would set off at 6 a.m. today and was expected to arrive at 6 and 7 p.m. This time, the convoy had a total of 80 transportation trucks, escorted by a tank company, a motorcycle company and a cavalry battalion. Of course, the commander was also a tank company. So Ouyang Longxing immediately generated power like Chifeng, and announced that there were Mongolian troops heading towards Chifeng, asking Chifeng's garrison and the transportation convoy to be prepared.
When Ouyang Longxing's telegram was sent to Chifeng, it was around 8 o'clock in the morning. At this time, the transportation convoy had already set off from Chifeng, and the cavalry camp had set off from Chifeng yesterday and rushed to the front-line outpost Zhuosuo stationed, and set off from Zhuosuo at 5:30 a.m.
This is because considering that the endurance of the war horses cannot keep up with the speed of the convoy, although the cavalry of the People's Army are equipped with war horses with strong endurance such as Mongolian horses, Sanhappos, and Hedon horses, it is still far from mechanized vehicles. Although the speed of the transport convoy is only about 20 kilometers per hour, it is not comparable to that of the horsepower. In the first 100 kilometers, the horsepower can still be kept up without strength, but after 100 kilometers, it will definitely not keep up with the convoy. Therefore, the cavalry troops set out in advance. Before merging with the transport convoy, they can rest for a while and recover their physical strength, so that they can ensure that they can keep up with the convoy for a longer time.
The company commander of the Tank Company was Wei Li, and it turned out to be a platoon leader of the two armored units. He received a telegram from Ouyang Longxing on the Communications Command Vehicle at around 8:30 in the morning. According to the organization, a tank company had a total of 12 tanks, of which 3 were in the company headquarters, and one was commanded by the 1st company commander, deputy company commander, and company instructor. However, during the non-war period, only one person was left on the tank, and the other two were in the Communications Command Vehicle to contact the superior units at any time.
