    The Guards Brigade used the Japanese-controlled military columns with such great fanfare and delayed a precious day. There was also the possibility that the Japanese had tipped it off. This made the Babu Zabu rebels basically clear about the movements of the Han Linchun Regiment, which was almost the same.  Guess the strategic intentions of the Guards Brigade.

    After receiving the news, the Babu bandits immediately changed their direction of travel in order to avoid being surrounded by the bandit suppressing forces.  Relying on the superiority of the cavalry, some Pakistani bandits broke through the upper reaches of the Huolin River, which was sometimes dry, in one day, and the whole army marched towards Xilingol.  In Babuzabu's view, being surrounded on three sides and forcing him to enter Jilin was not a good idea, and as a Mongolian, he must be at home in Mongolia.  So they decided to head west first, trying to obtain the status in Xilingol that the Hulunbuir people "obtained with the help of the Russians" and establish a semi-autonomous place free from the central government.

    After his troops forcibly crossed the Huolin River, he quickly intensified his attack on the Mibu defense line and crossed the river overnight.

    In the bandit suppression plan of the Guard Brigade headed by Zhang Hanqing, in order to avoid alerting this wave of puppet troops, the western and southern fronts had to wait until Han Linchun's northern front was assembled before taking action, so as not to frighten the puppet troops back to their nests. However, because the southern front was full  Disputes over transport issues caused delays on both the western and southern fronts.  When the news spread, the front line of the bandit suppression army had not yet reached Tongliao, which was twice as far away from Holingol as the bandit army.

    And the bandit suppressing army, which is mainly infantry, cannot keep up with the four-legged horses. As a result, the plan of encircling three and missing one formulated by the staff of the bandit suppressing army may be aborted.  Once the bandits break through Kholingol, the vast Mongolian hinterland will be ravaged, and the campaign to suppress the bandits will be protracted.

    Zhang Zuolin urgently contacted Jiang Guiti, the governor of Rehe, and asked the Rehe army to stick to the front line of Huolingol and Horqin's right center flag.  This old and arrogant man from the Qing Dynasty vowed that Yijun would not only be able to hold on to the defense line, but also become the backbone of the bandit army.

    The deputy commander of Yijun, the deputy commander of Rehe, and the garrison of Linxi, Mi Zhenbiao, encountered difficulties after receiving the order: Yijun was its own line in the Beiyang Army, and its origin was Li Hongzhang's Huaijun.  But after years of "evolution" by Yijun, in the paradise land of smoke in Rehe, the warriors who had the conditions to get the smoke at low prices gradually degenerated into a two-gun soldier who turned magic into decay.  Not only were the equipment extremely poor, but their combat effectiveness had also dropped alarmingly¡ª¡ªthere was nothing they could do, so all the money was spent on purchasing pipes and fireworks (not arms).

    Fortunately, there has been a previous resolution on the joint suppression of the four parties, which set the tone of intercepting the rebels outside Jehol. For this reason, Yijun has made relatively full preparations.

    Even so, when the cavalry of the "Qin Wang Restoration Army" all over the mountains and plains attacked, the whole Yi army was still stunned.  A thousand people are boundless.  Thousands of war horses galloping across the grassland, how majestic the scene is!  The sound of horse hooves and the flying sabers made the officers and soldiers on the front line of Yijun tremble. A hole was instantly torn open in the frontal defense line of the two battalions of Yijun.

    Yes, like a sickle cutting through butter, hundreds of Yi soldiers melted into the horses after firing only one round, leaving only chaos, wailing, blood and filth, occasionally mixed with a few gunshots.

    Under the overwhelming cavalry attack, Yijun seemed vulnerable.

    ??Also, although the world's military development was already at its first peak in the *** era, the great war in Europe also made the cavalry permanently give up its position as the main force.  However, China, which is quite backward militarily, does not have an effective method for cavalry confrontation, except for another cavalry team of comparable size.  Scenes of cavalry duels that were common in later movies and televisions only occurred in backward places such as China, and that was until the 1940s.  In Europe, the use of large-scale machine guns allowed infantry to easily suppress the firepower of cavalry in World War I.

    Mi Zhenbiao, who was guarding the formation, did not expect that his troops would not be able to fight under the attack of a group of rabble!  He ordered the anxious Captain He Yan: "Your troops are such bastards! Now you must stand up immediately, or I will remove you from your post!"

    He Yan bit the bullet and put his last reserve team into the second line of defense, but this group of hundreds of people was only a drop in the bucket.  Babuzabu used the Mongolian tactics of outflanking and flanking the center, taking advantage of the cavalry's large combat radius. However, within a moment, the second line of defense fell again!  Mi Zhenbiao took another of his regiments, fought and retreated, and coordinated Yi's army to retreat into Tulie Maodu Town on the bank of the Huolin River.

    Tulie Maodu Town is said to be a town, but it is only a few miles around, not as good as a street in the mainland.  This small town cannot be found on the Chinese map, with only 300 herdsmen households, but it is destined to go down in history.

    Yijun retreated into the town and could finally rely on houses, fences, and firewood stacks for active defense. This gave the rebel cavalry the advantage.? to weaken.  Yes, just nerfed.  The rebels surrounded the town layer by layer, and the cavalry retreated to create a sprint distance to prepare for a new round of offensive.

    Babuzabu was very proud of his victory. While preparing for the attack, he arranged for his rebels to shout: "Brothers of Yijun, we are the Mongolian 'King Qin's Restoration Army', we are the heroes of Mongolian independence and command the Mongolian army.  Commander-in-Chief Babu Zabu is unstoppable, and we don¡¯t want to embarrass you. Now if you put down your weapons, the descendants of the Reborn Heaven will not embarrass you, and we, Mongolia, will coexist with you in peace!"

    Mi Zhen originally still had the spirit of the old Huai Army in him. Although this spirit had been completely worn out by most of the old Huai Army generals, the bloody battlefield still made it difficult for him to shake off the accumulated blood.  Nothing left.  He decided to evacuate this small area and go to Holingol City. There was a strong city to defend there, which could last for a while.

    However, his other regiment leader Song Jiuling urged: "Commander, the bandit army is strong, it is better for us to stand still and wait for reinforcements. We, less than three thousand brothers, can walk on two legs, let alone run, we can even drag them."  We were dragged to death by them. Now hurry up and strengthen the defense line. Relying on the existing geographical advantage, we still have the strength to defend. Moreover, Marshal Zhang's Guard Brigade will arrive soon. When the time comes, we should cooperate internally and externally, and we will definitely win this battle."

    Thinking about it, the advantage of the Mongolian cavalry lies in annihilating the enemy's effective strength in mobile warfare. Mi Zhenbiao is not sure whether he can withdraw safely. He thought that his three thousand men with guns would not be so miserable and could not hold out for a few days.  A round trip?  He looked towards Fengtian and secretly hoped in his heart: Marshal Zhang, Marshal Zhang, your army must come here as soon as possible!

    But soon, Deputy Commander Mi was irritated by the vivid scene: the rebels were in full swing and had certain tactics. They relied on their fast horses to launch provocative charges one after another.  There are many experienced Hu bandit veterans among them, and they basically all have good horseback skills. They can run and shoot at the same time. They have already changed places after shooting, harassing Yijun's already unstable defense line back and forth.  Basically seeing red again and again, Yijun was exhausted and suffered heavy losses.  Basically, Yi Jun was pressed and beaten. Under the cold light of the saber, many Yi Jun soldiers holding guns shrank their heads and chanted "Amitabha, don't hit me with the saber!"

    However, Deputy Commander Mi is still very happy that he made the most unfortunate decision: stick to it.  If he were in the wild, his troops would definitely suffer much higher losses than they did now.  Everyone is sticking to this small town. At least we don¡¯t have to worry about being hit by a saber in the back, right?

    By holding on until dusk, morale was so low that the rebels were able to cross the narrow streets at a gallop.  Babu Zabu even shouted arrogantly: "Take the town, brothers go to the town to sleep at night!"

    Yijun¡¯s loose defense line made Mi Zhenbiao very worried. How long can it last? Can he still see the sun tomorrow?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
