The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Chapter 38: Outer Mongolia Dispute

.

spn On June 1912, 6, the Mongolian Maksarzabu personally commanded 19 Mongolian soldiers to launch an attack on Serwusu, and the defenders responded calmly under the command of Zhao Zheng.

Among the [-] Mongolian soldiers, there were many Russians. The Russians never thought that this would be a fierce battle. After their long-term experience of aggression against China, they had no fear of China, a giant with mud feet.

This time, however, it was outrageously wrong.

The Mongolian army, which had already detected the movements of the Mongols, placed two production corps ten kilometers away from Serwusu. Zhao Zheng ordered them to surround the Mongolian rebels after the battle started.

The Mongols did not know where to go and launched a fierce attack on Serwusu. Zhao Zheng commanded the third division to respond calmly, and waited until the Mongols rushed to the position 300 meters away before giving the order to open fire. [

The ferocious automatic firepower played in front of the position in an instant, and the Mongols were killed in rows by the fierce machine guns as soon as they rushed up. Not enough to watch.While horses gave them greater speed, they also made them bigger targets.

The Mongolian troops on the ground were equipped with light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and submachine guns, and it was no longer possible for the cavalry to break through with their flesh and blood.

The Russians in the back immediately knew that something was wrong when they saw this formation. Such a scene was also staged in the Russo-Japanese War.

The Russians immediately ordered Ma Kesarzabu to retreat, but before the order was issued, a bright signal was sent from the Mongolian army's position.

At the moment when the signal was sent out, bright lights shot out from the city of Serwusu, and the rumbling sound of artillery filled the eardrums of all the Mongolians.

The Mongolian army in the city fired fierce shells at the Mongols.

Although those Mongols received funding from Tsarist Russia, they didn't have any decent artillery at all. Under the attack of the fierce 75 rapid-fire guns, all the Mongolian rebel soldiers were beaten.

After receiving the signal, the two production corps ten kilometers away also quickly outflanked the rear of the Mongolian rebels.

The defeat took place extremely quickly. When the [-] Mongolian rebels came, they were aggressive, but now they were panicking and running away in embarrassment.

The horses of the Mongolian rebels made it much easier to escape. This is the case with the Mongols in history. Can they still run if they can't beat me?

Of course, history has come to modern times, and it is no longer the environment of ancient times.

First of all, the advancement of science and technology has enabled the army to march quickly, and then the changes in the international environment have caused the Mongols to lose their limited escape space, and now Siberia belongs to the Russians.

Under the siege of the two production corps, the Mongolian rebels led by Ma Kesarzabu once again lost a lot of vitality. When the Mongolian rebels escaped, there were only more than 1000 people left.

According to the statistics of the Mongolian army after the war, more than [-] Mongolian rebels were annihilated in this battle, and more than [-] of them were captured.

This battle report was directly published in major Chinese newspapers. The war reporters accompanying the army took a lot of photos of the positions, and finally took a photo of the Mongolian army marching, and wrote a report titled 'The Mongolian army is marching towards Kulun'.

The news of Mongolia's great victory spread back to the country, and domestic intellectuals and patriots were all rejoiced. At the same time, Yuan Shikai was praised by the public.

Jiang Yu hid in the corner and watched quietly, as if this victory had nothing to do with him.

However, Jiang Yu fanned the flames in the newspapers, and made the newspapers report President Yuan's great determination to regain Outer Mongolia, claiming that President Yuan wanted to crush Kulun, regardless of whether Tsarist Russia supported the rebels or not.

Inside the Xinhua Palace, President Yuan slapped the table angrily after reading that day's newspaper. [

"That boy surnamed Jiang is going to put the old man on the fire for barbecue!" Yuan Shikai angrily patted the table, who doesn't know that the boy surnamed Jiang controls the newspapers all over the world.

Now the newspapers are all advocating Yuan Shikai's determination to regain Outer Mongolia. If he is persuaded, what will happen to his face in front of the people!

Isn't this forcing you to get on the fire?

Yuan Shikai, who was trembling with anger, immediately sent a telegram to Jiang Yu, saying: "If the Russians send troops to attack, what should we do?"

After Jiang Yu received the telegram, he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. Although Yuan Shikai was a hero, he didn't have much research on the international situation, so he would have a headache for the current Russians.

So Jiang Yu replied with a telegram asking Yuan Shikai to slap the table: "It would be better if Russia sent troops to attack. It can kill Xiong Liwei so as to promote the prestige of China."

"Commander, if the Russians really send troops, it is obviously not easy to deal with them with our current strength." Zhou Zhengye said worriedly to Jiang Yu.

"No, it is impossible for the Russians to deploy large-scale troops to fight in Mongolia, because the British managed to draw this stupid bear's attention back to Europe through the Russo-Japanese War, thus forming a strategic siege of Germany. It is impossible for the British to fight in Mongolia. At this critical moment, the Russians refocused their forces on Asia and ignored the strategic encirclement of Germany." Jiang Yu analyzed firmly: "So even if the Russians send troops, they cannot exceed too much. If there is a fight, we will At least you won't lose."

It was precisely because of this consideration that Jiang Yu recklessly launched an attack on Outer Mongolia.

It's not that Yuan Shikai couldn't take back Outer Mongolia directly, the military strength of Outer Mongolia was extremely weak, but Yuan Shikai was afraid of the Russians.

However, the more you tolerate in this world, the more people will think you are weak and deceitful, and thus you will push yourself even further.

Therefore, Jiang Yu couldn't bear it, but ordered the Mongolian army to march directly to Kulun.

Yuan Shikai began to regret it. If he had known this, he would not have let this kid get involved.

The Russians had begun to put pressure on Yuan Shikai diplomatically, and Yuan Shikai had to explain repeatedly that it was not his order to attack Kulun.

But the Russians did not listen to Yuan Shikai's explanation, and threatened Yuan Shikai that if they did not withdraw their troops, Russia would send a large army.

However, Jiang Yu was determined to go his own way, no matter how Yuan Shikai persuaded him, he was unwilling to retreat.

Instead, they mobilized public opinion, claiming that the people of the whole country will fully support this counter-insurgency war, and various groups in various provinces have also expressed their solidarity.

On June 6, there was even more explosive news in the newspapers.

"In view of Russia's attempt to split our territory, the Revival Army has decided to expand five divisions and send another division to Outer Mongolia today. Once Russia sends troops, it will definitely fight to the death."

At this time, Jiang Yu finally jumped out to gain his reputation. The major newspapers changed their previous praise of Yuan Shikai and began to put all the credit on Jiang Yu's head.

According to the reports of major newspapers, the credit for defeating the Outer Mongolian rebels was not as important as Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai was so angry that he slapped the table straight, and stared at Jiang Yu's performance show with beard and stare, but there was nothing he could do, especially since the expansion of the revival army chose an excellent time, and Yuan Shikai had no reason to stop it. [

Once the revival army expands by five more divisions, the total strength will reach eight divisions, plus production corps and the like, the strength will be at least 15.

The British immediately sensed that there might be problems in the Far East, which is full of strong gunpowder. Zhu Erdian immediately sent an inquiry to Jiang Yu and asked Jiang Yu to immediately stop any military operations related to Russia.

The answer Jiang Yu gave was that he had not launched any military action against Russia, and that Russia was trying to split China, and he would do everything in his power to regain Outer Mongolia.

Zhu Erdian was obviously shocked by Jiang Yu's determination, and immediately sent a report to the British cabinet, claiming that the situation in the Far East was very likely to destroy the British Empire's strategic encirclement of Germany.
