Chapter 188 Fighting the Grasslands 9
Lu Dahu received a report from the reconnaissance cavalry that the Third Mongolian Army Division was burying the pot and making rice and resting. Without hesitation, he immediately ordered the army that had been anxiously waiting to launch a strong attack. At this time, the unsuspecting Mongolian Army suddenly became a frightened bird. It was originally from different factions. Some were on horseback and ready to resist, while some had already begun to flee north. The entire Third Mongolian Army Division quickly split into pieces.
Faced with the sudden strike, the Mongolian army had completely lost its will to resist. Some Mongolian officers and soldiers might fight for their own safety, and more Mongolian officers and soldiers chose to escape, and a pursuit scene soon formed on the battlefield. At this moment, the Mongolian army fled north and encountered the cavalry of the Fourth Prince. Perhaps the Fourth Prince had expected that the Mongolian army would definitely flee north.
The battlefield was in chaos. Lu Dahu stood on a high ground, looking at the battle scene happily, with his expression on his face looking very calm. There was no need to issue any orders now. Every soldier knew what he should do and was looking for his own target to chase. If there was an enemy there, they would take the initiative to kill wherever they could. There was no suspense in the entire battle scene.
The fat division commander of the Mongolian army lost effective command the moment he attacked. Only his trusted and direct troops were fighting desperately. When the cavalry of the Four Princes appeared in the north, the fat division commander was quick to learn and led his troops to escape west. Not to mention that this kid's choice was very correct, after all, the number of cavalry of the Four Princes was limited, and most of the troops were arranged in the north.
The fat division commander led his troops to successfully break through the west and then turned to the north. When he arrived at the border between the inner and outer Mongolia, the fat division commander found that he had only three thousand troops left. Later, they fled back to the Hulunbuir grassland with difficulty along the border between the inner and outer Mongolia. The Mongolian army, who directly chose to escape to the north, encountered the cavalry of the Fourth Prince, perhaps out of fear or because of their compatriots, many Mongolian officers and soldiers chose to dismount and surrender. After the four princes joined the army, the number of Mongolian soldiers chose to surrender was increasing.
At noon during the battle, the pursuit troops returned one after another, and a large number of prisoners stood on the battlefield. After counting the number of prisoners of war, it actually reached 4,000. Since there was no fierce showdown, there were not many soldiers killed or injured. A refreshing ambush ended successfully. In addition to the fat commander of the Mongolian army, more than a thousand people escaped in scattered ways, and the rest were all annihilated and captured.
The smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield has not yet dissipated. A group of people rushed to Lu Dahu. The fourth prince jumped off his horse. Lu Dahu stepped forward and hugged the fourth prince tightly. Lu Dahu said: "Your Highness, on behalf of all the soldiers, I thank you for your righteousness. You are the real warrior of the Mongolian people. For the integrity of the motherland, your achievements will be shining for the future."
The fourth prince smiled and said, "Teacher Lu has been too much. Deputy Commander Mu said it well. We are all members of the Chinese nation. You don't have to talk to me about heretics. Why do you have to distinguish them so clearly?" The fourth prince replied, "Teacher Lu, I have a request, please hand over these prisoners to me. I want to shelter them. Please be sure to agree to me."
Lu Dahu said happily: "Your Highness, your request is not a problem. I will not only hand over all these prisoners to you, but also all the Mongolian soldiers captured in the entire battle." The fourth prince said happily: "Team Commander Lu, with the victory, I hope your troops will assist me in occupying the entire Chahar area. I will force King Yun, the fence-bearer, to commit crimes. The next step is to use troops against King De, and I will completely defeat this Japanese lackey."
Lu Dahu was overjoyed and said, "Your Highness, I will support you with all my strength. Even if you need it, don't worry, I will support as much weapons and ammunition as possible, and I will not take any penny." Perhaps at this moment, the history of the grassland has completely changed, and this is exactly what Mu Yaping wants. In the future, the Japanese want to achieve strategic goals easily on the grassland, which is probably not easy.
When Lu Dahu led his troops to fight fiercely, the battle on the southern front was also unfolding. Now there was no secret between the two sides. What the Mongolian army was facing now was how to escape. Baihuchen led his troops to meet the retreating Mongolian Army Second Division between Guyuan and Duolun. The Mongolian army, which had no desire to fight, was about to collapse and began to flee to death.
Bai Huchen led a regiment of cavalry to pursue Doron with a group of Mongolian troops. As the Mongolian army began to retreat in an all-round way, the battlefield within a radius of hundreds of kilometers evolved into interception and pursuit. The escaped Mongolian troops came to the city of Doron, but they did not expect that Doron had been occupied. After being hit hard, they quickly bypassed Doron and fled to the north.
The White Tiger Chen who followed him came to Doron. He ordered the troops to continue pursuing the fleeing Mongolian army. He led several subordinates into Doron with some confusion. He did not send troops to Doron. What kind of team occupied Doron? When he saw Zhao Meng, he realized that Doron was occupied by them. Zhao Meng told him how to attack the Mongolian transport team, how to divide the troops, how the captain led a team to attack the Japanese airport, and how he sneaked into Doron.
Baihuchen said happily: "Captain Zhao, your reconnaissance brigade is the treasure of the entire army. I have heard of it for a long time. It turns out to be true today. It is really enviable! How to fight with us!" Zhao Meng said helplessly: "We are in no way hiding the brigade. We received an order to withdraw back to Shanxi because our mission has been completed. Since you are here, Duolun will be handed over to you.
Baihuchen decided to set up his command in Doron and continue to intercept the Mongolian army that fled from this direction. At present, the Second Division of the Mongolian Army has been completely disrupted and they fled along the northeast direction. The other two regiments of Baihuchen are also pursuing the Mongolian army separately. To this extent, it is already a matter of annihilation of many Mongolian troops to the greatest extent.
The palace of Xilingolod was in a mess. Ichiro Watanabe and his subordinates were urgently recruited by the base camp, and King Toku was also prepared to escape. The field airport was attacked, and all the bombers and pilots were killed, causing shock to the Japanese base camp. Now the Japanese Kwantung Army could not withdraw heavy troops to go to the grassland, so Ichiro Watanabe temporarily completed his mission in the grassland, and what awaited him was severely punished. Because such a misjudgment occurred in the entire battle, Ichiro Watanabe could not be held accountable.
King Deok didn't care that his subordinates were fighting fiercely. If the Jin army took advantage of the situation and rushed over, the Xilingol League would soon face war, so he decided to retreat east with Ichiro Watanabe. As for the dream of establishing a great Mongolia, King Deok had already left it out of the sky, and now he was concerned about the wealth and life of the family.
When King De chose to escape east, the first Mongolian Army Division, which was evacuated in Xinghe, was immediately in a catastrophe. Since its vanguard was annihilated, the 3,000 troops were less than 8,000. When they received the order to retreat across the line, the Third Division had already pressed up from the west side and bit them tightly. The First Mongolian Army Division fought and retreated to Guyuan, trying to contact the Second Mongolian Army Division, but they did not expect that the Second Mongolian Army Division had been defeated on its entire line.
What caused a fatal blow to the first division of the Mongolian Army was that the Sixth Brigade of the Second Cavalry Division suddenly appeared in the direction of Guyuan and intercepted the First Division of the Mongolian Army. This hungry new force appeared, and the First Division of the Mongolian Army completely collapsed. After a fierce battle, the First Division of the Mongolian Army split into pieces and began to flee desperately. The Jin army troops were all over the direction, and their situation could be imagined.
"Report to the Brigade! Taiyuan Command's emergency telegram!" A communication officer handed the telegram to Baihuchen. Baihuchen received the telegram and saw it read: "A group of enemies in the first division of the Mongolian Army has fled to the Zhenglan Banner area northwest of Doron. He ordered your troops to send troops to intercept them quickly and resolutely and completely annihilate the remaining enemies. The signature is Mu Yaping, the commander-in-chief of the Third Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the deputy commander-in-chief!"
Baihuchen did not dare to be negligent, so he immediately ordered his troops and fought to the northwest. Baihuchen led his troops to run for 50 kilometers in a row, and indeed saw a remnant enemy. This remnant enemy was Temujin, the commander of the First Cavalry Division, and his subordinates.
After a arduous battle, Temujin finally led more than 1,000 people to break through the siege. He never thought that he had just escaped from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den. Looking at the majestic and fierce people opposite, he looked at his embarrassed subordinates. Temujin had completely lost the determination to resist. Not to mention this Mongolian man, in order to protect his subordinates, he used unique means.
Baihuchen stood up immediately, looking at the defeated team of soldiers and knew that the other party had lost the courage to resist. Then he sent a Mongolian-speaking officer to come forward and shouted: As long as the other party put down his weapons and surrendered, everyone's life can be saved. However, a horse ran out of the Mongolian army and saw him playing white chess in his hand. The Mongolian army officer told: "Their head coach Temujin is going to duel with the other party. If the head coach stays, I hope the other party will let the other party live."
In such an exciting duel, Baihuchen had no reason not to fight. He stopped his subordinates from dissuasion and took the opportunity to pull out his sabre to hit the horse. Temujin also rode alone in the formation. Both sides stared silently for a few seconds, then clenched their fists and performed the etiquette between warriors, and then played horses and answered each other.
Not to mention that Temujin's fighting skills are indeed superb, and Baihuchen is also more skilled. Both sides fought for dozens of consecutive rounds without a distinction. Inadvertently, the soldiers of both sides began to cheer and cheer for their side. Due to the continuous battles, Temujin gradually lost his strength and agility of his attack began to decline.
Bai Huchen saw the opponent's weakness and attacked continuously, not giving the opponent a chance to breathe. After several rounds of battle, Temujin revealed his flaws. Bai Huchen seized the opportunity and flipped his wrist and used the back of the knife to chop Temujin off the war horse. Bai Huchen followed the situation and grabbed Temujin, staring at Temujin lying on the ground, and inserted the war knife into the knife pin.
At this time, there was a burst of noise in the Mongolian army, and the soldiers threw away their weapons and sabers. Yuichi Shimada and other Japanese advisers who were trapped in the queue drew their swords and committed suicide when they fulfilled their loyalty to the emperor. The sad Yuichi Shimada can be said to have experienced the hardship of escape, but in the end they did not escape the destined fate.
A few days later, another regiment of Baihuchen followed the Mongolian army to occupy the Xilingol League. At this point, the cruel battle in the grassland came to a perfect end!
