The White Mountain Tiger galloped wildly on the grassland, with heart-stopping bullets flying overhead from time to time. His beloved horse was shot, and one of its hind legs was covered in blood.
After making slight contact with the rebels, they began to turn around and run back.
Although the Mongolian army's marksmanship was extremely poor, the riding skills of these "herdsmen" were first-class. For the galloping horses, a distance of more than ten kilometers was only a matter of 20 minutes. In such a period of time, the six men who came out together were
Two brothers have already lost their lives. Seeing with my own eyes that my comrades who were as close as brothers were trampled over by the screaming rebel horses after they fell off their horses, the eyes of the tigers in the White Mountains were split and their hearts were bleeding.
"Goooo!" As he approached the bottom of the hillside, the injured war horse finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground. He seemed to hear the dull sound of the Maxim machine gun starting on the mountain, and then he knew nothing.
Baishi Mountain is actually just a hillock, with a relative height of only four or fifty meters, and the terrain is not dangerous. But even at this height, it became a nightmare for the Mongolian rebels on horseback.
The firing rhythm of the well-trained border guards is almost uniform. When the volleys of guns are fired, the cavalry charging down the mountain will fall down in a row. The most terrifying thing is that there are several heavy machine guns on the mountain. The rebels are in a panic.
He retreated, and the ownerless horses were running around on the battlefield. The injured horses fell to the ground, struggling and wailing, mixed with the screams of the wounded soldiers.
"Get off your horse, get off your horse quickly!" Outside the range of the border guards, Misqin, wearing a Mongolian robe, shouted and commanded the Mongolian troops under his command, while Ben Deda was furious and whipped him with the riding crop in his hand.
The defeated rebel leader.
Mischin did not expect that the border guards had several machine guns. For modern warfare, it would be suicide for the cavalry to charge at the preset machine gun positions.
The exchange of fire for more than ten minutes was short but fierce, but it ended in an almost one-sided massacre. The rebels lost nearly 200 people at once. This was because Ding Yongkang ordered only three heavy machine guns to fire, otherwise the Mengmen who launched the first wave of charges were
There will never be more than ten soldiers who can escape.
It's better not to scare away the Mongols. Their mission is to firmly attract the main force of the rebels.
If the Mongolian soldiers escaped, Ding Yongkang would have no choice. All the horses in the baggage team had been driven to the Yekoala Valley, which was the direction from which the main force of the 1st Cavalry Division came.
After suffering a heavy loss, the rebels learned the lesson and jumped off their horses one after another. Under the command of Captain Misqin, they surrounded Baishi Mountain.
It was already dark, and the Mongolian rebels took advantage of the darkness to launch two more attacks, but they were beaten back by the tightly guarded border guards. Bandida lost nearly half of its troops and was unable to continue to launch attacks.
The soldiers sat down against the bunker and rested while checking the weapons in their hands. The health workers were busy bandaging the wounds of the wounded. As the fighting distance between the two sides became closer and closer, the casualties of the border guards also began to increase.
The White Mountain Tiger was lying in a grass pit between two rocks. His beloved bay-red horse fell to death not far from him. The horse broke his right leg after falling, but it still struggled to leave.
The owner's body was a short distance away, and then he was killed by stray bullets fired from both sides.
The White Mountain Tiger is also a Mongolian. Its ancestor is the Eight Banners of Mongolia. It used to be stationed in Zhenjiang. In the Xuantong year, it also relied on connections and moved to Chahar. After the Xinhai Revolution, the Qing Dynasty was gone, and the banner soldiers stationed in various places were also gone.
In order to make a living, these flag soldiers who had been raised since childhood did not know any other skills. With no other choice, Baishan Hu had no choice but to change his Han name and join the Northwest Army.
He didn't dare to move, and couldn't move. The pain in his broken right leg was unbearable at the slightest movement. After waking up, he endured the severe pain to pick up the rifle that had fallen to the ground, and climbed to hide it between the two protruding rocks.
I got up. I had a severe headache, but I didn't dare to scream for help, let alone shoot. Who knew who would regard me as an enemy.
His throat was so thirsty that it wanted to smoke, and he could only hope that the battle would end quickly and that his team would rush in for reinforcements.
He did not dare to hope that he would fall into the hands of the rebels. Having lived in the Han country for a long time, he could not even speak a complete sentence of Mongolian. The fierce Mongolian army would definitely treat him as a spy and kill him.
In the distance, beyond the range of the border guards, the Mongolian soldiers raised several bonfires and began to cook and rest, apparently waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
From time to time, tracer bullets streaked across the sky, and occasionally a few gunshots rang out. On the grassland blown by the cold wind, the wolves that came smelling blood did not dare to approach, and gathered in the distance to howl at the night sky.
Chen Jiajue led the main force of the First Cavalry Division from Wuyuan, spent ten days crossing the desolate Gobi, and sneaked into the Yekoala Mountain. In order to prevent the news from leaking, all the people he encountered along the way, whether Mongolian or Han, were
Men, women, old and young were all handed over to the baggage team at the back for supervision.
When using troops in Mongolia, the cavalry was the main assault force. The 2nd Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division was transferred to follow Lin Jianfan to Khovd. Chen Jiajue only had the 1st and 2nd Brigades left in his hands. After removing the logistics personnel and artillery, the actual combat was
There are only more than 7,000 personnel, but these troops are definitely more than enough to deal with the Mongolian rebels.
After receiving the telegram from Tachu Military Station, the main force of the 1st Cavalry Division began to take action from the hidden camp in Yekoala Mountain, and the "Lure Wolf Operation" plan was officially implemented.
After the 1st Cavalry Division crossed the Tuihe River from Boji Heshuo, they met Zhao Erxi and a squad of soldiers who were driving the horses of the baggage team to cross the river. Zhao Erxi was quickly brought to Chen Jiajue, and before he could ask questions
According to the situation, gunshots were faintly heard from the direction of Baishi Mountain about 40 kilometers away.
Chen Jiajue immediately ordered the 1st Cavalry Brigade to rush directly to the battlefield, and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade to rush to the northern part of the battlefield at a faster speed to cut off the Mongolian army's retreat. He was ready to kill all the rebels invading the south.
The maneuverability of the cavalry during a rapid march is about 20 to 30 kilometers per hour. It is now 10 o'clock in the evening, which means that it will take two hours for the main force of the border guards to arrive on the battlefield. Although Ding Yongkang and the others are working as bait, they have a hard time, but
There shouldn't be much of a problem if he persists for several hours. In an emergency, he can use all the heavy machine guns, but if this is the case, the Mongolian rebels will probably be scared away.
If you use your brain a little bit, you will know that a baggage train can be equipped with so many heavy weapons, and it is really a ghost if there is no ambush behind it.
In Baishi Mountain, the successive attacks were frustrated, which frustrated the Mongolian army who followed Ban Deda. These devout herdsmen hoped that this living Buddha, who was known as "boundless magic power", could use his magical power to summon the Immortal Heaven to drop the "Sky Stone", so that he could conquer the enemy.
All the Han soldiers on the mountain were smashed into pieces.
The first time Bendida saw the hail of gunfire and bullets, his legs were shaking with fear and he almost wet his pants. He couldn't even say a complete sentence, so he had no idea. If the Russians weren't watching from the side,
I'm afraid that by now he would have climbed on the horse's back and escaped, and all his "magic skills" would have been returned to the Great Paddle Wheel King.
Captain Mitchens had no choice. These "herdsmen" had already been frightened and refused to attack the mountain. They had to wait for the arrival of Prince Chakdzab with reinforcements. These rebels were on the grassland.
A fire was lit, cooking started, and the aroma of meat wafted over the grassland where the smoke had not yet cleared, which was a great spectacle.
Under the guidance of the fire, the 1st Cavalry Division rushed into the enemy camp on horseback. Only more than 700 rebels were left without the ability to fight back. Most of them were captured without help. A small group of recalcitrants were quickly divided into several pieces under the saber.
.
On the contrary, the 3rd Cavalry Brigade, which was responsible for the outflanking mission, fought more fiercely. They had an encounter with the main force of the rebels who came for reinforcements. After a chaotic battle, most of the Mongolian army collapsed, and the 3rd Cavalry Brigade was unable to catch up in the dark.
, eventually annihilated more than 1,200 enemies, and the rebel leader Chakdzab was able to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
All the captured Russian officers were executed. When Bandida was shot, a Mongolian officer in the border guard said: "This man is a living Buddha and should not be shot!"
The lama was immediately overjoyed. He saw the hope of living, and was about to say thanks, but the officer continued: "To deal with a lama who has committed a capital crime, he must be quartered with five oxen, so that he will never be able to do evil again in the next life!"
