    The ministries participating in the war in the three provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu are all direct descendants of Sun Yuanqi, and they execute orders as fast as they can. After Sun Yuanqi issued the war preparation order a few days ago, they mobilized urgently to make all pre-war preparations. They were ready for the day.  After receiving the action order, the vanguard troops immediately sent their troops northward, aiming directly at the important garrison towns at the border between the provinces and Outer Mongolia.

    Sun Yuanqi didn¡¯t have high hopes for Yang Zengxin¡¯s ministry in Xinjiang.  Although Yang Zengxin also joined the New China Party, treated himself with respect, and asked for instructions and reports on everything, these were just appearances, and the relationship between the two was actually very ordinary.  Because the reason why he actively sought refuge was not because of Sun Yuanqi's charisma, but because of the situation surrounding Xinjiang.

    To the south of Xinjiang Province is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is as high as the sky. Most Tibetans there are more interested in worshiping lamas and accumulating good deeds to become Buddhas. They do not have a good impression of the Han people, but they are not bad either.  However, living Buddhas and lamas everywhere obviously do not want Han people squatting on their heads. Some nobles even yearn for the powerful Tubo Kingdom a few centuries ago, hoping that one day it can regain its glory.  But now it seems that they can only think about it. At the beginning of last year, Sun Yuanqi sent his elite soldiers into Tibet in two groups, obviously intending to take this cold land into his pocket.

    To the east is Gansu, a golden section.  Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, the long and narrow Longxi Corridor has been the transportation channel between Xinjiang and the Central Plains. Whether it was the Silk Road, the management of the Western Regions in the Han and Tang Dynasties, or even Zuo Wenxiang and his father-in-law to rectify the rebellion in the northwest, they all passed here.  Today, those who support the overall situation in Xinjiang are the old Hunan Army troops who stayed in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains when Zuo Wenxiang rebelled. In their hearts, the Longxi Corridor is the way home.  Now, this chokepoint is firmly guarded by Cheng Ziyin's Gansu Army's First Division. Without Sun Yuanqi's permission, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Xinjiang's soldiers to pass safely.

    To the north is the Gobi Desert of Outer Mongolia.  Although the bloodline of the Golden Family has become thin, and Tibetan Buddhism has worn away their remaining blood, the dream of restoring the Mongol Empire is like hereditary epilepsy, which always causes trouble for a while.  Moreover, their customs of herding sheep and horses, drinking milk and meat, and living in pursuit of water and grass clearly distinguish themselves from the Han people.  Now, with the support of Tsarist Russia, they have begun to have periodic convulsions. Whether they will harm others or chew their own tongues off, no one knows what it will be like in the end.

    To the west is the greedy Tsarist Russia.  These white-skinned and hairy Rakshasa ghosts are definitely hungry wolves that eat people without spitting out their bones!  Since Emperor Kangxi signed the "Treaty of Nerchinsk" with them, how much land has been taken away from China and how many people have been killed!  Although they have occupied millions of square kilometers of land in China, they are still not satisfied and want to continue to devour it.  Now they are using the puppet Jebtsundamba to encourage Outer Mongolia to seek independence. Who doesn¡¯t know the wolfish ambition behind them?

    The surrounding areas are either Tibetans, Mongolians or Maozi, and there are all kinds of Huizi under his jurisdiction. Yang Zengxin, who has been an official in Xinjiang for five or six years, knows very well that although Xinjiang seems to be relatively stable at the moment, there is a volcano under his butt that may erupt at any time.  Mouth, you may burn yourself to ashes one day.  If you want to save lives, you must have a strong Central Plains government as your backing.  Moreover, Yang Zengxin, who was a student of sages and sages, firmly believed in the principle that "those who are not from my race will have different minds." He felt that if something went wrong in Xinjiang, the Han people from Shaanxi and Gansu, who were close at hand, were the most reliable at the critical moment.  Therefore, Yang Zengxin weighed it again and again, and finally decided to favor Sun Yuanqi.  ¡ª¡ªAs for why it¡¯s not Yuan Shikai?  It¡¯s better for the county magistrate to take charge now!

    Of course, Yang Zengxin is only "backward" to Sun Yuanqi. To put it bluntly, he "knows that he is not a companion, but he is eager to accompany him when things happen." So don't expect to be very loyal.  Fortunately, although Yang Zengxin was authoritarian and unenlightened, he was very principled in terms of national sovereignty. He never showed disdain towards Tsarist Russia and Outer Mongolia, and resolutely attacked separatist forces in the province.  In addition, he was also very skillful. He implemented policies of restraint and containment of various ethnic groups. He first divided and ruled, and then unified and ruled, and managed Xinjiang very stably.

    It is precisely for this reason that Sun Yuanqi did not send troops to join the northwest of Xinjiang. Instead, he ordered Zhang Shiying, the governor of Gansu, and Zhao Jingxing, the governor of Shaanxi, to open the door to Yang Zengxin so that Yang Zengxin could maintain his own strength and ensure the stability of Xinjiang.

    This time, the Outer Mongolian bandits from Danbaijiang Village led a team of more than a thousand people to approach the Bulgan River. Yang Zengxin followed the instructions and sent Altai Chief Palta to lead his troops to monitor across the river. At the same time, he built a simple ancient city less than 500 kilometers away from the Bulgan River.  Airport, and allowed the Second Group of the Northwest Air Force to station personnel at the airport to be responsible for maintenance, refueling, communications and other matters.  These are the limits of support that Yang Zengxin can provide.  As for sending troops to join the war, even Sun Yuanqi felt that the request was a bit too much.

    Despite this, the Danbaijiang Village Headquarters of the Outer Mongolian bandit army stationed in the area bordering Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia was the first to be attacked.

    At about eight o'clock in the morning on February 1, the rising sun had just driven away the thin fog, and the two latest bombers of the Second Group of the Northwest Air Force were fully loaded.?Aerial bombs transferred from Anxi Prefecture to the ancient city.  After a brief overhaul, the fat plane soared into the sky again and flew to the Outer Mongolian bandit camp hundreds of kilometers away.

    At this time, the Outer Mongolian bandit camp on the Bulgan River had just woken up.  A month or two ago, these soldiers were still Mongolian men rolling around on the grasslands. For them, their favorite activities were riding horses and galloping, shooting and hunting, or drinking from big bowls, eating meat with big mouthfuls, and then riding drunkenly.  Shirtless wrestling competition.  These days they not only have to be wary of the enemies across the river, but also build fortifications by themselves, which are not what they are good at.  What's even worse is that they can't ride horses and shoot as much as they want, they can't drink as much as they want, and they don't even have a few pieces of meat when they eat. This is undoubtedly a cruel torture for them.  And from the current point of view, the stalemate across the river will continue, and the torture seems to have no end. They have no choice but to sleep in and work as foreigners.

    The scolding of pipes, the neighing of horses, the movement of firearms, and the collision of pots and bowls were intertwined, making the entire camp a mess.  Some people are still sleeping soundly in bed, some people get up sleepily, find a place to go out of the yurt and start to go out, some people are yawning and looking for food to fill their stomachs, and the red horse dung milk tea on the fire is already exuding a mellow fragrance.  .

    At this moment, a low "buzzing" sound came from the southwest sky.  If it had been a few days ago, these Mongolian men would have opened their eyes to see what was going on. Unfortunately, reconnaissance planes have been coming every day these days. Apart from being noisy, it didn't seem to matter. Everyone gradually became numb after watching too much:  At most, just think of it as a bigger kite.

    But today the sound was louder than before. Even the enemy troops on the other side of the river raised their heads and looked at the blue sky. They saw three black spots slowly getting bigger in their field of vision: the one at the front was the one that everyone had been watching for the past few days.  We see reconnaissance planes every day, but no one has seen the two big bulging guys behind them.  If the reconnaissance plane is as thin as a mosquito, then in comparison, the two bombers behind it are like full cicadas.

    When the two giant cicadas flew closer, almost everyone was dumbfounded because it was so big: its length was nearly 20 meters, and its wingspan was as long as 40 meters, even though it was flying at an altitude of hundreds of meters.  , it can also make people feel its terrifying momentum!

    Flying over the Outer Mongolia military camp, the reconnaissance plane immediately began to climb higher and began to circle around the military camp.  The two bombers seemed to bully the Outer Mongolian army, which had no experience in air defense and no air defense weapons, and even lowered it to an altitude of four to five hundred meters.  After determining the appropriate bombing position, the bombardier quickly pulled the lever, and the 500-kilogram aviation incendiary bomb came out of the mounting device and hit the ground.  The bomb was so heavy that the moment the bomb broke away, the bomber staggered and then rose dozens of meters.

    "Ouch!"

    Seeing a huge object falling from the sky, the audience on the ground let out a uniform exclamation.  After a few seconds, the group of ignorant Mongolian men realized that the big guy was coming towards them, and quickly scattered to avoid it.

    According to classical physics calculations, when air resistance is ignored, the bomb will fall freely from an altitude of 500 meters and touch the ground after 10 seconds.

    According to relevant scientific calculations, the killing radius of 500 kilograms of TNT explosive on flat ground is 50 meters in the lying position and 200 meters in the standing position.

    The latest world record for the 100-meter dash was set by Jamaican Bolt, who completed the entire distance in just 9 seconds 58 at the World Championships in Berlin.

    This set of data proves that many people¡¯s avoidance is just a useless effort.

    Just as the rebels were rushing forward, an aviation incendiary bomb exploded violently in the middle of the camp.  This 500-kilogram aviation incendiary bomb, newly developed by the China Academy of Ordnance Science, is filled with TNT explosive in the center, an outer layer of yellow phosphorus, and the outermost layer is napalm.  When the incendiary bomb hits the ground, the fuze will first detonate the tube, and the explosive gas will throw yellow phosphorus and napalm around the impact point of the bomb.  Yellow phosphorus spontaneously combusts in the air, igniting napalm fragments that fly everywhere.  Napalm can stick to the surface of combustible materials such as clothing, tents, and skin, and continue to burn violently for several minutes, which is enough to cause heavy casualties to infected persons.  Moreover, when napalm burns, it will produce a large amount of toxic gases, which can poison the people around it or suffocate due to lack of oxygen, thereby achieving the purpose of eliminating the enemy's vitality.

    The aviation incendiary bomb formed a sea of ????fire within an explosion radius of tens of meters. It was the dry winter and the violent flames quickly swallowed up all the surrounding combustibles, including human bodies and horses.  The frightened screams and screams mixed with the explosion of ammunition were heard all the way to the Xinjiang garrison camp across the river.

    Standing at a high place, Altai Chief of Staff Paleta saw with his own eyes a soldier covered in fire rushing out of the camp and trying to run to the ice of the Bulgan River to extinguish the flames on his body.  But even if he was rolling on the ice, the flames were still burning. After a few minutes, he turned into a dark black char, and the smoke from the embers seemed to cross the wide Bulgan River and hit Paleta's mouth and nose, as if he was  The smell of roasted whole lamb yesterday made him vomit.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The river rushed directly to Paletta's mouth and nose, as if it smelled like yesterday's roasted whole lamb, which made him unable to help but vomit.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
