The Republic of Heroes

Wu Xiaoliang looked at the map pointed out by the guide, turned over the Kent Mountain and crossed the Onan River, and arrived in Russia. The bandit army set up its headquarters in Russia, which already explains the problem. This is an organized and premeditated attack in Belarus. With the support, the military operation to split Outer Mongolia was actively carried out.It is easy to regain Kulun, but the invading army is coming continuously from the north, and the squadron wants to hold the land and finally can only be tired of defending.

When the guide said the name of Semenov, Wu Xiaoliang suddenly thought of an idea, why not let these outsiders get tired of defending?Fight a mobile battle to completely wipe out the arrogance of these bandit troops.It’s just that I don’t know if the time permits or not. The entire Mongolian grassland is frozen in late November, and it only takes more than a month. It is very urgent, but it is a gamble. Road, then he will collapse without a fight.

The advance team of the second division had three regiments, one of which was the cavalry regiment, which came in handy at this time.As a fast troop, the cavalry can be regarded as a motorized troop. He never thought of using the cavalry of the second division to head-to-head with the Cossack cavalry in a battlefield duel. The core of the plan was to beat the slow with the fast. The Semyonov gang must have never imagined that the squadron would attack them instead of attacking Kulun.Therefore, in terms of tactical suddenness, the Suidong Army has an absolute advantage.

If the cavalry regiment misses a single strike, it can also retreat temporarily and wait for the infantry regiment to catch up before launching a general attack. In this way, the chances of winning should not be small.

According to the guide, he looks about 20 years old. Wu Xiaoliang has observed his speech and behavior. He can speak fluent Chinese, his hands are delicate and shiny, and the robes he wears are old but clean and tidy. They are not as sloppy as ordinary Mongolian herdsmen. , and he didn't have that unattainable body odor, so he came to a conclusion that this person might be the nephew of the local tribal leader, so he has always been respectful to him.

When the army came from Hulun, they met this young man who called himself Dorji and volunteered to be their guide. At first, Wu Xiaoliang suspected that he was a spy, but after observing all the way, he found that Dorji was just a man who was involved in the world. A Mongolian young man who is not yet deep.

"This road is dangerous and unpredictable. I don't want you to get involved. If you want to return to your hometown, let's leave here, how?"

Wu Xiaoliang liked this Dolji very much, and saw that he was afraid of him before, so he didn't plan to force him to be a guide. If he wanted to go home, he would give him money, so let's say goodbye.Unexpectedly, Dolji blushed and protested:

"Mongol warriors are wolves on the prairie. When have you ever been afraid of fighting on the battlefield? I have been to Aksha, and it is definitely the wisest choice for General Wu to take me!"

Immediately Wu Xiaoliang understood that this Doerji wanted face the most, and was told that he was afraid of danger, so he insisted on following him as a guide.Wu Xiaoliang immediately regretted what he said just now, but having a guide who is familiar with the route by his side, isn't it a good thing?

"General, we will reach the Kundulin Department [-] miles ahead. Dolji knows Bayartaiji there. If not, let's go to his place as a guest, replenish our food, and then go on our way."

Dorje no longer entangled in this topic, but proposed with some excitement.This further confirmed Wu Xiaoliang's conjecture about Dorje's identity. Taiji, who can know one side, must not be a simple person, but he rejected Dorje's proposal.The Mongols are indeed hospitable, but at this time they are an army that has come to suppress the rebellion and kill the enemy. The attitudes of the Mongolian princes and ministers towards them are ambiguous. Make the mistake several times.

Just when Wu Xiaoliang decided to bypass Kundulin, the scouting cavalry came back panting, and rushed to report without caring to catch his breath.

"Report to the commander, there is a battle taking place in the tribe ahead, and there is also a Beiyang army in gray uniform..."

Wu Xiaoliang was very surprised, there was even a Beiyang army here, maybe there was a conflict with the people from the Kundulin Department, thinking of this, he glanced at the guide Dolji.Dolzi was also extremely surprised, he didn't want Kundulin to have a conflict with the squadron.

"General, there must be some misunderstanding? Taiji of the Kundulin Department has always been indifferent to the world, and rarely participates in those messy operations."

The scout took a breath, seeing that Wu Xiaoliang had misunderstood him, he quickly waved his hands and said:

"It's not with the Mongols. It seems that they are entangled with a group of Cossacks. The Mongols are watching the fun from the sidelines, and they don't help each other."

It turned out that this was the case, and Wu Xiaoliang had a hope in his heart. If Xu Shuzheng was in this group of Beiyang troops, then the significance of their diversion this time would be too great, and the chances of winning the crisis would be increased by one point, so Wu Xiaoliang sent cavalry The regiment rushed to help immediately.

The two infantry regiments followed closely behind and accelerated their marching speed. By the time Wu Xiaoliang arrived with the two infantry regiments, the battle had come to an end. The snow water on the grass gradually formed ice balls.The cavalry regiment successfully completed the task, defeated the cripple, and chased it away.

This was a large-scale battle. Judging from the corpses left on the ground, there were at least several thousand people on both sides. No wonder the Mongols did not help each other. Kundulin is just a small tribe, and neither side can afford to offend. If the wrong treasure is pressed, it will be a disaster.

This group of soldiers from the Beiyang Army was exhausted. After the enemy retreated, they didn't even have the strength to pursue them, so they lay down or sat on the cold ground.It can be seen that their morale has been extremely low. Wu Xiaoliang brought Duoerji to the battlefield, and there were stumps and broken arms everywhere. Those who were seriously injured and survived were moaning and howling in pain. The degree is no less than the tragedy caused by hot weapons.

"I don't know which department the general belongs to? How should he be called?"

Only then did Wu Xiaoliang wake up. The person speaking was a major general with eager eyes. Although his military uniform was already in tatters, the general star on his epaulets was still eye-catching.

"Suidong Army, Wu Xiaoliang!"

The major general's facial expression changed several times after hearing this, he really couldn't believe that it was this thunderous major general who helped him at the moment of desperation, his eyes suddenly became moist.

"No. 20, Chu Qixiang, the fifth mixed brigade! Thank you, General Wu, for saving us!"

After finishing speaking, he clasped his fists with both hands and wanted to salute on one knee, Wu Xiaoliang didn't understand why he was so excited, so he quickly dodged to support him.

"Why is this? Xiaoliang is late..."

Wu Xiaoliang, the man of Chu Qixiang, has heard of it. He is the direct descendant of Xu Shuzheng's frontier defense army. The No. 20 Fifth Mixed Brigade was originally the third mixed brigade of the frontier defense army. Xu Shuzheng upgraded it during this expedition against Outer Mongolia and reorganized it into the Beiyang Army Sequence No.20 five mixed brigade.Since Chu Qixiang is here again, Xu Shuzheng must be here as well.

"General Chu, where is Chief Xu?"
