Fengxian Jiangshan

"Zhuoyan, Xiao Xu really has two brushes!"

Jiang Dengxuan smiled and sent a summary statistical table to Zhang Tinglan, and said to him: "Xu Shuzheng and his men attacked two pastoral areas in ten days, and seized more than 3000 war horses and more than 3000 other cattle, sheep and livestock. .Attacked three tribes, killed and wounded more than [-] Mongolian rebels, captured a lieutenant general, killed two major generals, and arrested more than a dozen princes and nobles who supported independence, as well as upper-level monks. Great work!"

Zhang Tinglan also showed a smile on his face. He was also very satisfied with this move. With Xu Shuzheng's hand, he opened a gap in Outer Mongolia and cleared the obstacles for Feng Jun's next move.

However, the waves caused by Xu Shuzheng in Outer Mongolia were too great. The princes and nobles in the entire eastern part of Outer Mongolia felt a serious threat. This gang of rogues might not have hit the door at any time. army.

In addition, a group of princes protested to the Beiyang government, demanding that Beiyang take measures to stop Xu Shuzheng's looting actions. In short, the whole Outer Mongolia was completely chaotic.

"Zhuoyan, your move is really good, but in my opinion, you need to control the fire, otherwise the Mongolian monks and princes will take the opportunity to spread the news that the Han people bully them, which will easily cause resistance in the hearts of the common people, and then take the opportunity to stir up trouble. Why not beautiful!"

"To ask for directions, we must first understand the situation in Outer Mongolia. We usually look at the flowers in the fog. When something happens, we can just see their political leanings, and then we can prescribe the right medicine." Of course Zhang Tinglan knew that there would be risks in looting. Risks, but at this time, if you don't take some risks and make dangerous moves, you may not be able to accomplish anything.

While they were discussing, they suddenly received news that Yang Yuting, Chief of Staff, personally led a division of Fengjun's elite troops and three independent mixed brigades to Chengde.After Zhang Tinglan got the news.Immediately overjoyed, the military strength of Outer Mongolia is nothing, but the land area is more than 150 million square kilometers, plus Tangnu Wulianghai, the area is almost 200 million square kilometers.

Even in peacetime, [-] to [-] garrisons are not enough, let alone facing the pressure of war!Yang Yuting came at the right time.Zhang Tinglan went to meet him outside the city in person. [

"Chief of Staff, this is just in time for you, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Zhuoyan, shouldn't it be time to respect you as Lan Shuai now, does this sound a little more majestic?" Yang Yuting said with a big laugh.

"Chief of Staff Yang, I'm asking you. How many troops and advanced weapons did you bring?" Zhang Tinglan also asked pretending to be majestic.

Yang Yuting laughed: "Zhuoyan, I really brought a lot of good things here. I also studied it before dispatching troops. This time it is mainly a grassland battle, and the opponents are mainly cavalry, so the first consideration is the issue of flexibility. In addition, we must see far and see accurately!"

When it came to serious business, Yang Yuting also put away his playful look, and became very serious instead.The total number of troops he brought this time is close to 3, including 18 mp[-] submachine guns. The role of submachine guns has been verified in battle, and Fengtian Arsenal is also producing around the clock. Yang Yuting came this time .Naturally, it needs to be used on a larger scale.

In addition to submachine guns, Fengjun's artillery has also made great adjustments. It is not equipped with a powerful 150mm howitzer, but replaced with a larger number of [-]mm mountain howitzers.

"Zhuoyan, this is the latest artillery produced by Fengjun. It weighs 820 kilograms and has a range of more than 7000 meters. The pellets fired have reached [-] kilograms. It is not outstanding in terms of power, but it is light and maneuverable. It is convenient, and with the training level of our artillery, it is enough to easily suppress the opponent's Seventy-Five Artillery, and it is absolutely suitable for fighting on the grassland!"

In addition to considering the power of the weapon, logistical pressure must also be considered. At this time, there is no railway leading to Outer Mongolia. If a large number of heavy artillery is used, it will inevitably slow down the speed of the march. This mountain howitzer is obviously more suitable than the heavy artillery.Yang Yuting carried a total of 54 doors, and Zhang Tinglan nodded frequently after seeing them.

"Yes, with this kind of artillery, it is enough to defeat the army of Outer Mongolia. The chief of staff is right!"

"Zhuoyan, there is another piece of good news. They have designed a new type of reconnaissance plane in Wang Zhu, which can stay in the air for three hours, and it is easy to take off and land. Take off and land, and scout every move of the Mongolian army."

"Okay!" After hearing the reconnaissance plane, Zhang Tinglan couldn't help but brighten his eyes: "My father said in the past that the Mongolian bandits' combat effectiveness is not very strong, but they can move freely on the grassland, often by surprise. If you are negligent, you will suffer. Now that there are reconnaissance planes in the main battle, it is much easier to deal with them, Linge, you brought a couple of reconnaissance planes here, can you do it if the number is small?"

"Zhuoyan, don't worry, there are a total of 36 planes, and it has become two flying squadrons, which is enough!" Feng Yong said with a smile on the side: "I recently established a flying club to train flying enthusiasts. More than [-] people have signed up, and these people are our backup pilots, Zhuo Yan, what do you think of my method?"

Feng Yong said complacently that Zhang Tinglan's eyes lit up when he heard it. In an era where there were not many cars, there were very few people who could get in touch with airplanes, but they still needed to have enough pilot reserves.After all, excellent pilots cannot be cultivated in a day or two. Without sufficient accumulation, it is impossible to fight a war.

It is a very good strategy to set up a flying club and gather a group of young people who love flying. Before World War II, Germany escaped the restrictions of the Allied Powers in the name of flying clubs.In addition, the United States also has a large number of flying clubs, which ensures that the United States has sufficient pilots to completely drag the Japanese to death on the Pacific battlefield.

Now that Feng Yong can think of this and start accumulating pilot work, Zhang Tinglan is also very pleased. [

"This idea is very good, but there is one point. We must strictly control safety and prevent accidents. If the plane crashes every three days, it will definitely affect the reputation of the club and make the common people feel fearful. It will be counterproductive."

Feng Yong hurriedly nodded in agreement, Zhang Tinglan welcomed them all into Chengde, and everyone sat together.Discuss the issue of Outer Mongolia together.Not long after, another staff officer ran in and delivered a report to Zhang Tinglan.

"This is from Xu Shuzheng from the front, please take a look at it, Commander."

Zhang Tinglan took it for a look, and immediately frowned. After reading it, Zhang Tinglan didn't make a sound.Instead, it was handed over to Yang Yuting and others. After everyone passed it on, it finally fell into the hands of Zhang Tinglan.

"Zhuoyan, I think the content of this report is very worthy of attention. The monks and princes of Outer Mongolia are not monolithic. They all want to be independent. When we crack down, we must also focus on it.

After Xu Shuzheng arrested a group of princes and nobles, he interrogated them to understand their thoughts. As a result, Xu Shuzheng found that the upper echelons of Outer Mongolia also had conflicts, and they were not monolithic.

Simply put, these powerful groups are divided into two camps, one is the group of monks headed by Bordo Khan (Jeb Zumbadan).One is the secular prince headed by Hangda Dorji and Na Mu Nang Surun.A theocracy, a secular power, has always existed in Mongolia.

China has always been a godless country, and the entire upper class of society respects gods and Buddhas at a respectful distance. This is the same for the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the lives of secular princes such as Hangada Dorje have always been relatively moist, enjoying Great treatment.

But these people are determined to get more.Coupled with the instigation of Tsarist Russia, it was the secular princes who supported Bordo Khan and established the so-called Great Mongol Kingdom.After the establishment of this country, the power of secular princes was quickly deprived by the monk group. Just a few years ago, Honda Dorje was poisoned to death for no apparent reason, which completely detonated the contradiction between the two factions.

Some secular princes in Mongolia began to miss the Manchu era and wanted to regain power.But their strength is weak, and they can't compete with Bordo Khan at all. Princes are constantly being killed, and the upper class of Outer Mongolia is also jittery.

After Xu Shuzheng learned about these situations.Thinking that there was an opportunity to take advantage of, she hurriedly sent a telegram to Zhang Tinglan. After Zhang Tinglan received it, her eyes lit up. As long as they were not monolithic, there was room for them to intervene.

"Humble words, I noticed in the report that the descendants of Tushetuhan are still alive, can we make a fuss about it!" Jiang Dengxuan also put forward his own suggestion.

There are four major Khan tribes in Outer Mongolia, namely Tuxietu Khan, Chechen Khan, Saiyinuoyan Khan, and Zaktu Khan. Among them, Tuxietu Khan is the strongest, and its territory also includes Kulun.However, the last Tuxie Tuhan Dashnima died strangely shortly after Outer Mongolia declared its independence. Many people thought that he was poisoned to death, and it was Borduo Khan who also shot!

The Beijing side originally thought that Tuxie Tuhan had no descendants, but according to the latest information obtained by Xu Shuzheng, Tuxietuhan also has a young son, who is just in his early tenth year and is a fledgling child.

But such a child has very important value. After Jiang Dengxuan mentioned it, Zhang Tinglan suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he said with a smile: "This idea is very good, Chief of Staff Jiang, I think I will trouble you to go there , go to Kulun, find the descendant of Tushetuhan, and canonize him as the new Tuxietuhan!"

Now that we know that there is a conflict between the secular prince and the great lama, we must dig it down and let them break up completely. Only after the political map of Outer Mongolia collapses can Fengjun have the possibility to solve the problem quickly.

Jiang Dengxuan also knew that this task was important, so he did his part and took the initiative to undertake it.

"The signboard of the old 27th Division was changed, and it became the temporary first division of the frontier defense army. The division commander was selected by Jiang Deng. He also served as the commissioner for Outer Mongolia. He led the first division and the independent cavalry brigade of the frontier defense army into Kulun at the fastest speed. , Canonize Tuxietu Khan, and at the same time be responsible for the task of suppressing bandits!"

After Zhang Tinglan made arrangements, Fengjun's operations immediately started. Jiang Dengxuan set off with the whole army. Zhang Tinglan also issued a special announcement, declaring that Xu Shuzheng had changed from a regular army to a bandit, endangering the peace of Outer Mongolia. Fengjun had an obligation Restore the order in Outer Mongolia and help the princes of Outer Mongolia to destroy this gang of rogues.

It just so happened that the princes of Outer Mongolia protested to Beiyang, and sending troops there now, isn't it a testament to the sincerity of the central government!Of course, the big guy knows what the calculation is, so there is no need to say it.

Jiang Dengxuan's army followed Xu Shuzheng's plundering route, and quickly entered the Outer Mongolia grassland, like a broken bamboo.The small Mongolian troops dare not mess with the Fengjun, which is armed to the teeth. Xu Shuzheng, who has more than 1000 people, has already turned Outer Mongolia upside down. Now there are more than 1 people, all horse rifles, and there are regular troops patrolling and guarding by planes above their heads. , let alone something they can provoke, they all avoided it from a long distance.

This also made Jiang Deng very depressed, and he could only rush to Kulun at the fastest speed, which might still be a little challenging.The Feng army quickly entered Outer Mongolia, which was no less than a thunderbolt to all the nobles in power.They have maintained semi-independence and non-independence for more than ten years. What they are most afraid of is that the central government will settle accounts with them. Now that the regular army has finally swept in, no one has any idea what to do.

Borduo Khan gathered all his cronies together, and he said with a solemn expression: "My dear friends, let's all talk about it, how should we deal with it?" (To be continued...)
