young marshal spring and autumn

Kulun is located in the central part of the Mongolian Plateau, at the southern end of Mount Kent, on the banks of the Tula River, a tributary of the Orkhon River, at an altitude of 1351 meters.It is located inland and has a typical continental climate. The lowest temperature in winter reaches -40c, the highest temperature in summer reaches 35c, and the annual average temperature is -2c.On the north and south sides of Kulun are rolling mountains. The clear Tula River flows slowly from east to west from the foot of Bogdo Mountain in the south of the city. The east and west sides are vast grasslands. The main city block is located on the north bank of the Tula River.It was built in 9 and was called "Urg" at that time, which means "palace" in Mongolian. It was the residence of Jeb Zumba I, the "living Buddha" of Khalkha Mongolia. "Urg" wandered around the vicinity for the next 1639 years. Since 150, they have gradually settled near the current site, and named them "Kulun" and "Big Kulun", which means "big temple" in Mongolian.

Mount Kent is a sacred mountain in Mongolia.According to "Secret History of Mongolia", Genghis Khan was buried in Buerhan Mountain (now Kent Mountain), which was called Langjuxu Mountain in the Han Dynasty of China.In the fourth year of Yuanshou (119 BC), Emperor Wudi of the Western Han Dynasty, General Huo Qubing chased and killed the Huns to the Langjuxu Mountain, where he sealed the Wolf to live in Xushan to offer sacrifices to heaven. Juxu mountain, Zen in Guyan, climbed to Hanhai, held the halogen (captive) and won the ugly 440 with [-] three levels."

Badma & #8226; Dorji, who was the "cabinet manager" of Mongolia at that time, and the Living Buddha Jebtsundamba had long been prepared for the entry of Zhang Hanqing's "Anmeng Army".They rallied the independent forces of all alliances and banners, recruited nearly 2 old-style officers and soldiers, bandit troops, and White Russian troops who were exiled in Mongolia after the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, together with slaves under the command of the royal families, armed a total of about 30000 people and organized them into five groups. The brigade, under the command of Bokdog, the representative of the royal family, set up a defensive position under the city of Kulun, taking advantage of the geographical advantages of the north and south mountains, and the unfavorable logistics conditions of the "Anmeng Army", and wanted to drag down the "Anmeng Army" with persistent tactics. ", and look forward to the support of Soviet Russia.Bokdog deployed three main brigades to the east of Kulun City, and one brigade each to the west and south of the city.

Guo Songling, Zhang Hanqing, and Ji Yiqiao convened a military meeting with officers above the "Anmeng Army" regiment.It was decided to use a powerful army artillery regiment and two infantry regiments to storm the frontal defensive formation in the east of the city, led by Guo Songling.Zhang Chengde's cavalry brigade cut in from the direction of Zong Mode in the south of the city, forcibly crossed the Tula River, and rushed to the rear of the formation.The Israeli Cavalry Regiment wandered back and forth in the west of the city as suspicious soldiers to contain and block the escape route of the defenders to the north.Zhang Hanqing and an infantry regiment are the general reserve.

At the meeting, Zhang Hanqing said inspiringly: "Our army fights rebellion with the righteousness of the king's division. The morale is strong and the equipment is excellent. This battle can establish the situation in Mongolia and inflict heavy damage on those who split the country. Order the whole army to have breakfast in the city of Kulun I will send a telegram to the government to erect a monument on Langjuxu Mountain to commemorate the grand event of Mongolia’s recovery.”

At 5 o'clock in the morning, the artillery regiment's 36 mountain cannons fired together, and the soldiers and horses of the three groups came out together, and the killing sound shook the sky for a while. The "Anmeng Army" laughed and encouraged each other, and "go to Kulun for breakfast" became the heroism of the "Anmeng Army".

On the frontal battlefield where the artillery regiment was located, the Mongolian army suffered a large-scale artillery attack and lost their souls.Most of these people were recruited temporarily, and some of them had never even touched a gun. How could they not be afraid when they heard the deafening roar of the cannon and the painful groans of the comrades who were shot?There are those who shoot indiscriminately, those who drag their guns back, and those who abandon their guns and fall to the ground. The infantry of the "Anmeng Army" hadn't charged yet, and the Mongolian army was in a mess first.No more than a hundred people died in the trenches under shelling, and hundreds of people were killed by shelling while escaping!

Fortunately, some of the guards left by the old manchus and the old soldiers and bandits stranded in Mengcheng had experienced the war, and there were officers at all levels leading the battle behind with guns. The fleeing Mongolian army saw that there was a law enforcement team behind them, and the left and right had not yet retreated. , and turned back one after another.

After a round of shelling by the "Anmeng Army", the infantry regiment advanced and the artillery attack radius expanded.

Just when some experienced veterans of the Mongolian army thought that the infantry attack had begun and were preparing to organize close combat, a new round of shelling began again.This time, he was caught off guard, and many Mongolian troops who were in formation were killed in piles.

The hateful "Anmeng Army" shells seemed endless, and wave after wave flew towards the Mongolian army positions.The Mongolian army only had a dozen or so small cannons left by the Manchu Qing, not to mention the lack of firepower, and the range was less than half of the cannons of the "Anmeng Army".Bokdog was commanding at the front line early in the morning. Seeing the fierce firepower of the "Anmeng Army", he knew that the east line was the main force of the assault, so he hurriedly transferred two other troops to join the battlefield.Guo Songling was about to ask him to do this, anyway, one shell would blow up one pile, and two piles of people would still be one pile together.

At first, the artillery regiment was worried that there would be too many shells pouring out. It would not be long before the entire artillery regiment would be exhausted.However, Zhang Hanqing and Guo Songling believed that as long as this battle was won, Mongolia would have no more vicious battles to fight, so they advocated severe blows in order to break up the morale of the Mongolian army and take back the hearts of the Mongolians.

After half an hour of shelling, more than half of the shells carried have been consumed.Once the reinforcements from the Mongolian army on the opposite side arrived, the signal flares were ordered to be fired.

Zhang Chengde's cavalry brigade, who was waiting in hiding in the south of the city, heard the rumble of artillery in the east of the city, and the soldiers under him were itching, and Zhang Chengde forcibly suppressed them.His force is the decisive force in this battle. After the enemy soldiers in the south of the city are drawn, he will attack first with the rapid advantage of the cavalry, and then detour to the back of the defenders in the east of the city, forming a two-sided attack.He anxiously waited for Guo Songling's offensive order. He knew Guo Duo in the Northeast Martial Arts Hall.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, like fireworks blooming in mid-air. This was the order to attack, and the chief of staff finally let his troops do something.Zhang Chengde cheered up and shouted, "Get on the horse!"

He drew out his saber, drew a blade in mid-air, and said loudly: "The regiments have been deployed before, and attack at full speed. There must be no hesitation, no prisoners, no dismounting, and no chance for the enemy to breathe!" Four cavalry regiments , rushing forward like four torrents.The Mongolian army who stayed behind was shocked by the dull sound of horseshoes, and shouted in unison: "Enemy attack!"

Although we bid farewell to cold weapon warfare at this time, China's hot weapons with rifles as the main force were still unable to effectively kill cavalry. As a result, in non-frontal battlefields, cavalry, as an ancient arm, still continued on the Chinese battlefield for more than 20 years.

From the organization of the First Cavalry Brigade at the end of the first year of the Republic of China, the brigade commander Chen Wenyun (a Japanese non-commissioned officer) referred to the changes in the cavalry establishment abroad, and suggested that the battalion level should be canceled under the cavalry regiment, and the regiment should be directly under the company, and the cavalry company should be changed to Dalian with four platoons. adoption.The restructured divisional cavalry regiment has three to four cavalry companies with 600 people; the cavalry regiment under the cavalry brigade has five cavalry companies and one machine gun company with more than [-] people.The reduction of the establishment has improved the combat efficiency, and the reduction in the number is also closely related to the reduction in the role of cavalry at home and abroad at that time.

After Zhang Hanqing's reorganization, Fengjun made a slight change to the cavalry: the cavalry company has 4 platoons, and the divisional cavalry regiment has 4 cavalry companies and 1 machine gun company, with about 1130 people; the cavalry brigade is the largest cavalry organization, with There are 4 cavalry regiments organized into 5 cavalry companies and 1 logistics battalion, with a total of about 6100 people.This is because under the conditions that the Northeast has a vast geography and the army is not yet mechanized, the cavalry can be used as "surprise soldiers" to play the role of surprise and raids.

When fighting against the Mongolian army that has no heavy machine guns and lacks cannons, fast cavalry is indeed the natural enemy of infantry.This is why Zhang Hanqing and Guo Songling wanted Zhang Chengde's cavalry brigade to be the main force for victory.

Think about how amazing the scene of thousands of horses galloping wildly is. A part of the Mongolian army has dropped their guns with interest: a brigade stationed in the south of the city has just been transferred to half, and the remaining 2500 remnants cannot resist this thunderous blow anyway. of.
