Early the next morning, about a dozen Soviet reconnaissance planes quietly flew to the border between Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia and began conducting rigorous aerial reconnaissance operations along the hundreds of miles of border and nearby areas.

At this time, the Soviet armored group had entered an area less than fifty kilometers away from the Inner Mongolia border and was about to emerge from the Sea of ​​Death.

Cliff's armored command vehicle stopped again, and the old guy was standing not far from the armored vehicle to urinate.

The adjutant and several guards stood guard and waited around.

A communications soldier rode a motorcycle and came speeding from behind. The motorcycle stopped abruptly, and the Soviet communications soldier jumped out holding a piece of telegram.

Cliff's adjutant stretched out his hand to stop him, and turned his head to signal to Cliff. Upon seeing this, the signal soldier nodded, then stepped aside and waited patiently.

Cliff, who may be suffering from prostate disease, took nearly five minutes to urinate before picking up his pants and turning around.

"General, the Air Force just received a call and has detected the latest movements of the Chinese Army in Inner Mongolia." The communications soldier shouted loudly.

Cliff walked over step by step, dragging his fat body with heavy steps, took the message from the communications soldier, and lowered his head to read it.

After a while, Cliff showed an evil smile: "Haha, it seems that the Chinese don't know our whereabouts at all. Their armored force should be doing a normal defense change and is currently patrolling back and forth along the border.

Woolen cloth."

"General, what should we do? Should we bypass them or eat them?" the adjutant asked.

"Our mission this time is to cross the grasslands of Inner Mongolia as quickly as possible, capture Zhangjiakou, and threaten China's Pingjin area. Let's leave these little miscellaneous fish alone for the time being.

Order the troops to refuel and set off immediately. We will let the arrogant Chinese have a taste of the power of our Soviet armor." Cliff said with great pride.

………………

Erenhot is across the border from Zamyn-Uud. The distance between the two places is less than ten kilometers. It is the only way for the Soviet army to cross the Sea of ​​Death and enter the Inner Mongolia prairie.

There was originally a cavalry company adapted from the Mongolian cavalry stationed here. After the establishment of the National Government, this cavalry company was awarded the official title of the National Revolutionary Army and became the Erlianhot Garrison Cavalry Company.

Last night, a Chinese armored force from Zhangjiakou arrived here to take over the defense of Erlianhot.

In an open space outside the town, the cavalrymen of the garrison cavalry company looked at the scene in front of them in great surprise.

This army coming from the mainland is doing something very strange.

They used wooden boards and paper to look like tanks and armored fighting vehicles. At least a hundred of these strange things were made. They were then hitched to some ox carts and ran wildly around the town and around the routes that the cavalry usually patrolled.

The cavalrymen in the cavalry company didn't know the purpose of doing this, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they could only watch from the sidelines.

Suddenly, a senior officer wearing a colonel's uniform, wearing black leather boots, strode over with two subordinates.

He ordered the captain of the cavalry company: "Captain Hemuzha, please take your cavalry company and go out immediately and follow me to handle something."

………………

"General, according to the intelligence detected by the Air Force, the main force of the Chinese Army's tank and armored forces is indeed stationed in Erenhot. There are at least three hundred tanks and armored vehicles.

There is no sign of movement yet!" On a wasteland about fifteen kilometers away from Erenhot, the adjutant reported to Cliff who was eating bread.

Cliff was chewing bread and drinking vodka, and said with a flushed face: "Are you sure there is nothing wrong with the situation?"

The adjutant nodded in confirmation.

Cliff took another sip of the strong vodka and said: "Then order all the troops to march according to the order. Bypass Erlianhot and advance towards Sunit!"

The adjutant lowered his head and said yes, then turned around and took the order.

The Soviet convoy that came to a halt soon heard a deafening rumble again, sweeping forward like a torrent of iron armor.

………………

Sunit Left Banner. Under a raised wasteland, about six to seven hundred tanks and chariots were parked here.

The soldiers in the car were making final preparations before the war, and some were smoking cigarettes and thinking about something worriedly.

There were also people in small groups who were joking happily.

Inside an armored command vehicle, with the door wide open, Zhang Lingfu stepped on the pedal of the armored vehicle with one foot and the other on the ground, holding a map in both hands and frowning in deep thought.

Zhang Xiaofu, who was standing next to him, looked into the distance from time to time, looking extremely nervous.

Suddenly, Zhang Lingfu raised his head and asked, "Xiaofu, are the anti-aircraft guns ready?"

"Chief, don't worry. Forty 88mm anti-aircraft guns have been deployed. If the war goes unfavorably, they will become our most advantageous rear troops and block the enemy's pursuit." Zhang Xiaofu replied.

Zhang Lingfu felt relieved and nodded. Although this ambush battle was based on calculation and unpreparedness, after all, the overall number of tanks and combat vehicles on both sides was very different.

Zhang Lingfu had to prepare for the worst, so he took out all the knowledge he had learned in the special training class at Longxing Military Academy and put it into action.

Because there is a classic example of an 88mm anti-aircraft gun attacking an enemy tank in Long Xing's textbook.

Zhang Lingfu himself also captured the anti-aircraft guns of the former Northeastern Army in the Battle of Puyang in Hebei Province, and used them to attack the No. 4 tanks of the Northeastern Army that were the attackers at that time, and achieved quite good results.

This scene was vivid in my mind, so it became natural to use the 88mm anti-aircraft gun carried this time to deal with the Soviet tank group.

About a quarter of an hour later, a hurried-looking communications soldier jumped out of a communications vehicle not far from Zhang Lingfu.

After he jumped out of the car, he ran towards Zhang Lingfu.

When he arrived, he stood up to attention and saluted: "Commander-in-Chief, Commander Wang is calling. As expected, Lao Maozi has been fooled. They are crossing the Erlian Plateau, trying to bypass Erlianhot and run towards Sunit."

"Very good!" Zhang Lingfu stood up after hearing this and said energetically: "Order all regiments to prepare for battle immediately! Beat up these stupid polar bears!"

"Yes!" Zhang Xiaofu said loudly with a trace of uncontrollable excitement flashing in his eyes.

The order was conveyed quickly, and the soldiers who had been chatting and smoking cigarettes waiting for the order became busy. After a while, tanks and chariots started up, making a deafening roar.
