    "I'm dizzy, how could this be? It's incredible!"

    The senior officials of the Northwest People's Army Headquarters all shared the same surprise and emotion as Zhang Hanqing.  They are all from the Northeast and are very aware of the influence of the Asian Cavalry Division on the Siberian Plateau: they are a group of veterans who do not know what death is, are familiar with the climate and environment of the Mongolian Plateau, have received strict military training, and have long-term battlefield experience. They are extremely difficult to deal with.  .  Otherwise, with Soviet Russia's strength several times that of Russia in the Far East, there would not be anything that could be done against them for a while.

    In the original deployment, the 4th and 26th Cavalry Divisions of the People's Army and the Northeastern Fengjun Army plus the main force of the elite 1st Division were required to have a decisive battle with them, but he was not sure yet.  Win a big victory and prepare for a long-term battle.  Now, this important force active in Mongolia, northern Liaoning and northern Heilongjiang has been wiped out by Zhang Zongchang, who is looked down upon by everyone.  I don¡¯t know if the opponent¡¯s combat effectiveness has declined, or if Zhang Zongchang is like a god of help?

    There was no time to admire, and the staff immediately began to study the post-war trend.  Scattered news from the intelligence agency shows that Wen Ganlun and his party have now penetrated deep into western Mongolia. It is said that they have received help from the Mongolian gangs Bashichi, Kegorodov, and Kazantsev who have been entrenched here for many years, and they are trying to regroup and make a comeback.

    Should we assemble heavy troops and conduct another expedition against them?  But on the desolate Mongolian plateau, no one is sure that they will be able to find each other.  Even if they could be found, there were too many directions for the White Russian bandits to escape in Mengxi, where there were basically no roads.  With Wen Ganlun's cunning, once the troops are divided, it is difficult to avoid falling into an attack. He can use a large force to pursue this small group of elite (can escape from Zhang Zongchang's hands, is it considered elite?) cavalry troops. When will such a pursuit end?

    Having already escaped, there is no point in regretting it. Mongolia still has to deal with the aftermath.

    Basically, the problem in the north was solved once and for all, and the stone in Zhang Hanqing's heart fell to the ground.  As long as he does not faint, there is no source of chaos in Mongolia now, and no matter how strong the Soviet Union is, it has no reason to interfere in China's internal affairs unless it wants to invade.

    Rewards for merit.  After Zhang Zongchang's victory, Zhang Hanqing was finally moved by his efforts. Not only did he send a call to praise the achievements of the Northeast Mixed Brigade, but he also personally agreed with Zhang Zongchang to take the captured White Russian cavalry, including those who had been treated, under his command, and named them "White Russian cavalry".  Corps", with Zhang Zongchang as its commander, finally had a formal establishment.

    Although Zhang Zongchang's troops also suffered heavy losses, they also received an unexpected surprise.  According to the habit of these White Russian soldiers, whoever has breasts is a mother, and coupled with his long-term experience in dealing with the White Russians, they do not care about loyalty, and betray only because the chips of loyalty are too low.  With no one in China or Russia to take them in, the desperate White Russian army followed Zhang Zongchang as the best way out.

    At the same time, in view of Li Du's effective command in the sniper battle in Buying City, Zhang Hanqing decided to promote him to the division commander of the 26th Cavalry Division stationed in Mongolia, commanding all the Mongolian People's Army including the Tangnu Ulianghai garrison and the security forces of major cities.

    What to do with the defeated bandits?  Of course we have to pursue the victory. Do we want them to create a situation that threatens Mongolia's stability again?  Although it will be difficult for the other party to form a fire in the foreseeable future, no one wants to have a thorn pricking them from time to time, right?  What to do?

    Zhang Zongchang, who was in high spirits, first asked for help. He said in a telegram to Zhang Hanqing: "We have assembled 500 brave warriors for this battle. We will attack and march against the White Russian bandit army in three directions. We must eliminate their effective strength.  Make new achievements.¡±

    Not to be outdone, Li Du also called back and said that he would deploy an infantry and cavalry army to suppress the bandits in the west. The general policy was to use the mobility of the cavalry to continuously defeat the bandits, and then use infantry to guard point by point, step by step to compress the strategic space of the bandits.  Accumulate small victories into big victories, and finally strive to annihilate them in one battle.

    Both options have gained a group of fans, but both think they have little chance of winning or are time-consuming and labor-intensive.  They were all senior officials of the Northwest People's Army. They knew that Zhang Hanqing was already preparing for a big game, and they did not allow any more time to be spent with this bandit army.

    But the bandit rebellion in western Inner Mongolia has been accumulated for decades. How can there be such a good way to eliminate it in a short period of time?  Moreover, in the vast Gobi Desert in western Mongolia, because large troops cannot be used, if they fight horse bandits who are familiar with the local conditions, as long as the other party launches guerrilla warfare, they will be exhausted sooner or later.

    I¡¯m afraid this is also a wishful thinking of Wen Ganlun and others, who want to make a comeback through the precious land of Mengxi.

    Several years of military career have allowed Zhang Hanqing to transform from an armchair "strategist" to an excellent frontline commander.  Under the baptism of leading troops on the front line for a long time, the various theories in his mind have also been sublimated. Strategy and tactics complement each other, and he is called a genius in leading troops by his subordinates.

    ??For example, he treated Han Linchun, Ji Yiqiao, and Xu Lanzhoubattle!  "

    Reorganizing while marching, the entire "White Russian Army" began a chaotic but orderly expedition.  According to the "leapfrog" tactics proposed by Zhang Hanqing, this vigorous army selected a cavalry unit to go deep into western Inner Mongolia and carried out effective attacks on the local bandits entrenched in various small towns.  Even if the troops are divided, they are much stronger in terms of numbers and force than the gangs entrenched in various places. Therefore, they are as strong as the traditional Mongolian gangs such as Bashichi, Kegorodov, and Kazantsev, and as cunning as the foreign gangs such as Wen Ganlun.  They all have to avoid its edge.  After learning that the "White Russian Army" was going to encircle a large encirclement to decide the outcome, the bandits all wisely chose to jump out of this encirclement.

    With the assistance of Tangnu Ulianghai garrison, the bandits were driven to southwestern Inner Mongolia. The important towns of Ulyasutai and Khovd in western Mongolia were recovered in a complete sense, and a stable Mongolia has emerged.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
