A cavalry unit was moving eastward on the grassland. The weather was not good, and an autumn rain accompanied it. The commander of the Second Cavalry Division, Lu Dahu, was riding on the war horse and was leading the Fourth Cavalry Brigade to gather at the designated location. At this time, the rain kept flowing down his cheeks. Lu Dahu seemed to be careless. He tightened the reins while thinking nervously. Due to long-term combat, he had developed the habit of thinking about problems immediately.

In this siege and annihilation operation against the Mongolian Army's South Road, Lu Dahu was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the front. According to the overall combat requirements of the headquarters, the Third Cavalry Division lured the enemy deep into the Chahar line in the western front, with a total force of about 12,000 people. Erhu led 10,000 troops of the Fourth Brigade of the Second Cavalry Division, which was first inserted eastward from the middle of the south and north of the Mongolian Army, and then attacked southward on the northern road. 10,000 troops of the Fifth Cavalry Brigade moved to the south of Kulun first, and stood in a hidden position at Gaoshan Fort. The purpose was to cut off the retreat route of the Mongolian Army's cavalry after the battle started. 10,000 troops of the Sixth Cavalry Brigade moved to the vicinity of Zhangbei. After the battle started, the siege and combat was carried out from south to north.

Since the Mongolian army did not know our actual force, everything seemed to be going well. The big net was already open and waiting for the fish to take the bait. At this time, Lu Dahu was a little excited and nervous. He was excited about the coming of a war, and was nervous about whether the siege was successful. He remembered that Mu Yaping said in his telegram to him: "There are very variables in cavalry combat. After all, the cavalry troops have strong mobility. If they cast such a large net, they can hold up many enemy troops. It is unknown how many enemy troops can be defeated. Defeat is not our goal, but annihilation of the enemy's living power is our ultimate goal. We must completely defeat King De in one battle."

Lu Dahu slowly chewed Mu Yaping's words, carefully analyzed every link of the battle deployment, and calculated whether there were any mistakes in that detail. Lu Dahu knew very well that the combat plan of the South Road encircled and annihilated the Mongolian army was very important. It not only ensured the safety of the North Road, but more importantly, it completely crushed the Japanese conspiracy and completely eradicated the German King's ambition to split the territory of the motherland. Therefore, he believed that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he would win at any cost.

"Reporting the division seat, the troops have been marching for 10 hours in a row, and it is getting dark. The war horses are already very tired. Should we let the troops rest?" A combat staff member was wet all over. He came to report, interrupting his thoughts. Lu Dahu said without hesitation: "Tell you brigade commander, all of them will dismount and marches and let the war horses rest for a while. We must reach the designated assembly point at midnight." "Yes!" The combat staff left.

The mountain village on the edge of the grassland, Gaoshan Fort, now shows its military value. At this time, a large number of cavalry gathered in this mountain, including the foot of the mountain. 10,000 troops of the Fifth Brigade of the Second Cavalry Division, led by the brigade commander Bai Huchen, had been secretly arrived at Gaoshan Fort for three days. The sudden emergence of the army brought vitality and murderous aura to the mountain village.

After the officer training was over, Baihuchen was transferred from the 32nd Army to the Fifth Brigade of the Second Division of the First Cavalry Army as the brigade commander, while Tan Peng, Ji Yunfei and Hao Junfeng, who were originally under Lu Dahu, entered the 32nd Army, the 33rd Army, and the 34th Army respectively as the brigade commander of the Infantry Brigade. Since Baihuchen came to the Cavalry Army, he was immediately infected by this vibrant and family atmosphere. Especially the troops' strict and regular military training methods were so self-contained that he was deeply shocked. While opening his eyes, he felt the soldiers' strong desire to fight, which was a phenomenon that had never been seen in his original troops.

After the combat order was issued, Baihuchen's heart was filled with ambition and pride of galloping on the battlefield. At this time, Baihuchen stood at the highest point of the high mountain fort and looked into the distance. The mountains in the distance were rising and falling. This feeling of climbing and looking far away made him excited again, and he couldn't help but praise: "**, this is such a good place. When Deputy Commander Mu chose to establish a stronghold here, his strategic vision was unparalleled. As a subordinate, this feeling and admiration were born from the heart."

A young staff officer next to him said: "Deputy Commander Mu is our military spirit, and his talent is unfathomable. Gaoshan Fort is more than 100 kilometers away from Doron and 150 kilometers away from Guyuan. The headquarters' encirclement and annihilation plan is a big deal. The Mongolian army would never have thought that a large army would be hidden here. This is called accidental and attacking him unprepared."

While the two were talking, a combat staff member ran and said in a panic: "Report to the brigade seat, the military situation has changed." After saying that, he handed the telegram to him. Baihuchen hurriedly received the telegram and took a quick look, his face became very serious and said: "Order the troops to gather urgently and quickly gather in area No. 3. After arriving at the location, the division will issue further combat orders."

According to the original overall combat plan, the Baihuchen army had to wait until the battle in the southwest and north to send troops to intercept the Mongolian army behind the back and shoot the most ruthless combination of punches to make a fatal blow. However, before the battle started, he received an emergency telegram from Lu Dahu and quickly gathered troops to the No. 3 area. Obviously, the entire military deployment had changed, otherwise the division would not have issued such an order to him.

The sudden change was like this: a vanguard of the Mongolian army left the large army and quickly advanced towards Chahar. The First Division of the De King Cavalry had advanced to the Xinghe line. Its vanguard of the cavalry brigade inexplicably threw away the large army and advanced quickly towards Chahar. According to the deployment of the Mongolian army, this was absolutely contrary to the rules.

The Third Cavalry Division, which was responsible for the task of luring the enemy and defending the enemy on the front line of Chahar, faced a sudden emergency, the division commander immediately reported to the front commander Lu Dahu. At this time, Lu Dahu had already led his troops to gather in the north of Xinghe and standby. After learning about this situation, he did not dare to neglect and immediately reported to the Taiyuan Command of Shanxi. It was really a matter of time. The battlefield situation changed rapidly, which was dazzling and caught off guard.

"Report, the commander-in-chief Lu Dahu of the front lineup came in an emergency call!" In the combat room of the Taiyuan Command, a combat staff member handed the telegram to Mu Yaping. Mu Yaping looked at it for a few hurriedly and changed his face. He hurriedly handed the telegram to Xu Yongchang and Fu Zuoyi, and headed straight to the combat map on the wall. Xu Yongchang and Fu Zuoyi were also shocked after reading the telegram.

Mu Yaping ordered the combat staff to change the position of the blue arrow of the Mongolian army's attack on the map. The combat situation was clear at a glance. His face became more and more serious, and he fell into silence for a short time. Fu Zuoyi walked up and said, "Deputy Commander Mu, if the situation is true, we may be alarmed. The entire encirclement combat plan may be miscarried. According to military intelligence, the tail of the Mongolian Army's Second Cavalry Division had just left Doron. According to our scheduled combat plan, the tail of the Mongolian Army arrived at Guyuan and we launched an attack again, but the vanguard of the Mongolian Army ignored the danger and went deep into the army alone, which was really hard to understand."

Xu Yongchang said: "The telegram shows that the Mongolian army's vanguard has about 3,000 people, and has already distanced 100 kilometers from the main force. According to the combat characteristics of the friendly and neighboring troops, that is, the cavalry troops, it is appropriate to maintain a distance of 30 kilometers, so that each other can support each other and maintain close contact. If we eat this vanguard, we will inevitably disturb the Mongolian army's large forces, and all our plans will be lost. In this way, the Mongolian army will likely stop attacking and flee back."

Fu Zuoyi analyzed: "If you let these three thousand troops go and let them cross the Chahar defense line, because the vast area of ​​Chahar to Suiyuan is empty, given the powerful mobile combat capabilities of the cavalry troops, the consequences will be unimaginable." Mu Yaping asked: "Brother Fu, I want to hear your opinion?" Fu Zuoyi said decisively: "The vanguard of the Mongolian army must be eaten. It seems that this siege battle will turn into a melee. Make up your mind!"

Mu Yaping said: "We are still not enough. It seems that the Japanese have not trained the Mongols into strict disciplined troops. This is completely a characteristic of the Mongols' combat. I am sure that the commander of this vanguard unit is so fast, and it is completely the result of unauthorized decisions. They did not encounter tenacious resistance along the way, so the Mongols naturally have to be arrogant."

Mu Yaping continued: "The Third Cavalry Division, which served as the defense of Chahar in the western region, should eat the vanguard of the Mongolian army in one go, and the telegram was to send Lu Dahu, the Fourth Brigade, the Fifth Brigade, and the Sixth Brigade to quickly enter the battlefield and strive to annihilate the enemy's living forces. They ordered them to formulate combat plans alone according to the battlefield situation.

After receiving the telegram, Lu Dahu immediately sent reports, ordering each team to move closer to the Mongolian army and launch an attack on the Mongolian army at the fastest speed. The encirclement operation turned into a melee. However, it was not easy to capture fighter jets in a battlefield of hundreds of kilometers.

The first cavalry division of the Mongolian Army was organized by four brigades. After its vanguard occupied Xinghe, it made a small plan. The brigade commander was named Jamuha, and he was about thirty years old. This kid was a confidant of King De. After occupying Xinghe, he looked at the small group of cavalry of the Jin army that fled in panic, and his confidence could not help but rise unprecedentedly.

He thought that the Mongolian army was coming in a vast expanse, and Chahar was probably an empty city. He even thought that the Jin army in Suiyuan might withdraw, so the kid did not stay in Xinghe at all, and immediately issued an order to attack Chahar. The kid's wishful thinking was that he would take the lead and rob Chahar's wealth and earn it all into his own hands.

The Japanese military adviser Shimada Yuichi, who was accompanying the army, thought it was inappropriate, so he tried every means to stop him and asked him to advance towards Chahar after the follow-up troops arrived in Xinghe. However, Jamukha did not listen to him at all. After all, Chahar's wealth tempted him, so he naturally couldn't listen to the dissuasion of the Japanese consultant. Shimada Yuichi had to send a report to the division headquarters to report the emergencies.

When the Japanese military consultant of the division headquarters asked the division commander Temujin to report the situation, Temujin laughed and said, "Haha! Jamuka is worthy of being the first hero in Mongolia. He is very powerful and he wants to occupy Chahar quickly. What does this mean? It means that the Jin army in Suiyuan has fled in panic and ordered the troops to follow up quickly." Temujin didn't pay attention to the Japanese consultant's inquiry at all.
Chapter completed!
