Xu Yaqing and Gyaltsen Rinpoche were very happy to see Wendur Khan in such a mess.
They believed that Haug had succeeded.
But seeing the calm expressions of Wang Siyi and others, I felt a little uncertain.
When they saw the piles of corpses cleared by the National Defense Forces, their faces changed and they were filled with panic from inside to outside.
Among the countless corpses, if you look at them, they are all Khalkha Mongols.
Xu Yaqing didn't even bother to hide her identity, she stood up and scanned the entire grassland eagerly.
She felt that maybe the National Defense Forces hid the corpses of their own people and deliberately showed them to them.
Disappointed her.
The grassland is open and flat, with an unobstructed view, and everything can be seen clearly.
The corpses found in the ruins were indeed only those of Khalkha Mongols, not even other Mongols.
Even though they are just some mutilated corpses, the appearance of the Mongolians in Mobei is very different from that of the Mongolians in South Mongolia.
Others may not be able to tell, but Mongolians themselves can tell it at a glance.
This is just like Cantonese people looking at Fujian people, they can tell at a glance whether something is delicious or not.
"Under the current situation, your scheming is nothing but ridiculous."
Wang Siyi saw their panic in his eyes and did not miss any opportunity to strike.
Xu Yaqing's face looked ugly, and Gyaltsen Rinpoche's voice of chanting sutras was also a bit disorganized.
No Haug was found, and not many Khalkha Mongolians died, so they still had hope.
The actions of the National Defense Force were somewhat confusing to them.
"Pay attention to the pressure and inject gas."
On the flat ground, dozens of strange balls have risen into the sky, reaching a height of more than ten meters.
In the eyes of Xu Yaqing and others, those big balls did not know what they were made of. They were obviously very big, but they looked light and swaying, as if they could be blown away by a gust of wind.
There is also a hanging basket under each big ball, which seems to be able to hold something.
"Next, open your eyes and take a good look at how the Khalkha Mongols had no way to escape."
Wang Siyi seems to like children who play pranks and likes to see Xu Yaqing and others scared.
Those big balls are, of course, hot air balloons.
As the technology becomes more and more perfect, hot air balloons become more and more mature and are widely used in various fields.
In this vast and empty Mobei, if you want to catch the enemy, there is nothing better.
After the hot air balloon was pressurized, the scouts got into the gondola one after another, and then released it one by one. Soon it turned into black spots in the sky.
Xu Yaqing, Gyaltsen Karmapa and others watched the whole process from the sidelines and naturally understood the purpose of the hot air balloon.
But precisely because they knew it, their despair was even greater.
Especially those lamas, there was even a hint of fanaticism in their fear.
In any religious belief, communication between people and God is an important link. However, what kind of God is, humans can only look at and wonder about it for thousands of years.
Apart from looking up at the stars and observing stars in the hope of getting some enlightenment, they are always confused.
How can these religious believers not be shocked when they see hot air balloons rising into the sky, bringing them closer to God?
At this moment, a crack appeared in their faith.
Gyaltsen Karmapa is different from ordinary lamas, and his will must be more firm.
After all, in addition to being the Dharma King, he is also a top feudal lord. Unlike ordinary lamas, he is also the target of oppression like ordinary herdsmen.
Seeing the hot air balloon, all he could feel was an unprecedented powerlessness.
Nowadays, the hot air balloons made by the Empire can fly up to 300 meters.
Although this height is not even as high as some small hills, its help in enemy reconnaissance is unparalleled.
As the hot air balloon took off, various departments of the National Defense Force also began to take action.
They did not rush into the mountains to search for enemies. Instead, they sent small units to seize various hills and set up observation posts on them.
In this way, the hot air balloon and the observation post formed a large watertight early warning network.
No matter how complex the terrain in the hilly areas is, the Khalkha Mongols can never escape the eyes of the National Defense Forces.
At the same time, the Second Front Army on the Northern Front and the 1st Cavalry Division on the Western Front also released hot air balloons.
In order to decide the outcome of the battle, the National Defense Forces used more than 300 hot air balloons this time, almost covering the sky.
Although the mountainous area under the Kent Mountains is huge, it is surrounded by more than 400,000 defense troops and more than 300 hot air balloons.
Under such generous measures, the Khalkha Mongols naturally had no way to hide.
On the third day, their traces were discovered.
"What is that?"
"Are gods descending to earth?"
The hot air balloon discovered them, and they also discovered the hot air balloon.
The scouts on the hot air balloon were excited to see them, but the Khalkha Mongols were shocked when they saw the hot air balloon.
Many Mongolians even knelt down and kowtowed to the hot air balloon, chanting enthusiastically.
Unlike them, Hauge has some knowledge.
He has a telescope in his hand...
He had already seen the National Defense Forces pointing at them from the hot air balloon.
"Let's go!"
Instinctively feeling the danger, Hauge did not dare to stop at all and immediately accelerated his pace.
Although the hot air balloon was high in the sky, no matter how hard he ran, he could not escape his sight. But he knew better that if he stayed in place, he would only be surrounded by the National Defense Forces.
As for the Khalkha Mongols who had lost their minds, Haug decided not to care.
When the army is defeated, survival is the most important thing.
The mountains in Mobei are completely different from those in the south.
The mountains here are bare, with few trees and loess everywhere.
Looking from the hot air balloon in the air, the Khalkha Mongols look like they are not wearing any clothes.
Under the guidance of the hot air balloon, the National Defense Forces moved slowly and slowly, locking all passages bit by bit.
In the past, the Mongols had to deal with countless enemies in places like this.
Even if he is as strong as Zhu Di, he can only go around in circles here, but cannot completely conquer the Mongols.
The Mongolians have always believed that this grassland is a treasure given to them by God.
This allows them to come back no matter how many times they fail and cause trouble for the Central Plains Dynasty.
In feudal times, they did it.
But now, with the advancement of science and technology, all the things that the nomads were proud of have become a thing of the past.
The Mongolians who retreated into the hilly areas were constantly stared at by hot air balloons. They were always in fear and could not rest for a moment.
They could only avoid the eyes and ears of the Wehrmacht at night.
However, during the escape, many people suffered from night blindness due to lack of nutrition. Even in areas they were familiar with, they lost their way.
The Khalkha Mongols walked in the mountains all night like headless flies. When daybreak, they were disappointed to find that they had returned to the same place.
But after this night, the encirclement of the Wehrmacht became smaller and smaller.
