Chapter 986: Brother, let it go
In June 1941, the Far Eastern Army was assembled in three areas, namely, Hexi, Monan, and north of the Great Khing'an Mountains, and the Northwest Field Army and the Northeast Field Army, with a total of hundreds of thousands of troops, were ready to launch the largest military operation since the founding of the Far Eastern Army.
At the headquarters of the Northwest Field Army in the Monan grassland, Li Ming and Song Tao were standing in front of the sand table, smoking silently. Behind them, a large number of staff officers were nervously busy. Shang Ming, chief of staff of the West Field, and several communications staff officers kept looking at their watches, and the time for the start of the battle was approaching.
"I'm going back to Shenyang tomorrow, you command this battle, you must give Lao Tzu a beautiful fight. After destroying the main forces of Mobei Mongolia and Moxi Mongolia, it is necessary to sprinkle the main force and reserve militia units, as well as all the nomadic detachments, and sweep them fiercely on the grassland. Clean up the remnants of the routed army, small and medium-sized tribes, Mongolian bandits, and broken settlements that roam the grassland.
The tribe that dared to resist killed all the men in the tribe who were taller than the wheels in the way of the grassland. All the Mongols who surrendered were scattered and reorganized, and winter training was carried out on the steppe on the spot. It is also necessary to dismantle the original nomadic detachment and fill the newly trained Mongolian herdsmen with the original backbone to form a new nomadic detachment.
It is estimated that you may have to stay on the grassland in the next two years, and you must not slack off, which is related to the stability of the grassland, and you must pay attention to it. Before the end of the campaign, the company will send some additional working groups of the Ethnic Affairs Committee to the grassland to help you rectify the grassland as much as possible. When you are in the steppe, you have to think like a nomad, and you don't want to be a woman. “
After listening to Li Ming's words, Song Tao nodded heavily, and then said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured that the company is ready to take root in the grassland and not completely control the northern grassland." Lao Tzu stayed in the grassland all his life and never came back. ”
Li Ming was amused, and said with a smile: "Look at your little bit of talent, with hundreds of thousands of well-trained elite iron horses, for a group of herdsmen in this era, don't make it so tragic." Remembered. First use the way of the steppe to dye the steppe a bloody color, so that they can completely surrender, and then use the way of our Far East to give them a sense of belonging.
This year, the Northwest Field Army will set up four new cavalry divisions, and the Northeast Field Army will also set up two cavalry divisions. So. Our Far Eastern Army has eight cavalry divisions, which are our own cavalry, and they are also the main assault force that will enter the Central Plains in the future.
And the Mongol corps is our Cossacks in the Far East, do not let them stop, take the forward nomadic detachment as the lead, organize them to the west, to the west, and to the west...... Walk through the vast Kazakh steppe. Kill me all the way to the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea and the Eastern European Plain. Brother, let it go. The eldest husband should bring a three-foot sword to open up the territory of China for me and make immortal contributions. ”
Song Tao was also suddenly excited, and he laughed and said: "Paralyzed, if you say this, Lao Tzu may really be famous for eternity in the future." Ha ha...... Then can I be like Yue Fei? Appears in elementary school textbooks, phew...... What do I say about him......"
Li Ming nodded and said, "When you reach the east coast of the Caspian Sea, it is estimated that the various daring units of the samurai army in the Indian region should completely take India." The westward advance of your Northwest Field Army will work with the Samurai Army to sweep away the Persian Safavids. By controlling the Persian Gulf in one fell swoop, we can basically connect the areas controlled by China demarcated by our Far East Company. ”
The two were chatting happily, and Shang Ming, chief of staff of the Northwest Field Army behind him, shouted: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the time is up......
Li Ming and Song Tao raised their hands at the same time, glanced at their watches, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"You are the commander of the Northwest Field Army, let you give the order......"
After listening to Li Ming's words, Song Tao nodded heavily, then picked up the microphone and said with a solemn face: "I am Song Tao, each corps will start according to the predetermined plan......
Following Song Tao's order, the Western, Northern, and Eastern Corps, which had already assembled in various regions, immediately began to move, with a large number of reserve militia brigades as the forerunner, and the main forces of the various group armies began to attack and advance to the north, west, and east. Behind the main force, there were more nomadic detachments driving countless cattle and sheep, covering almost the grasslands.
Before the war, the Theater Command had already dispatched a large number of airboat units and ground reconnaissance units to reconnoiter the Mobei and Moxi grasslands for nearly a year, and the intelligence department had also dispatched a large number of Mongolian intelligence officers to these areas.
In the first stage of the campaign, with the assistance and command of the airboat troops, the main forces will carry out large-scale penetration in depth and over long distances, and strive to complete the encirclement of the main forces of the Mobei steppe and the Mobei Mongolian units in the shortest possible time.
The theater command also formed a special operations detachment with a total of more than 2,000 people. A large number of scouts were drawn from various units of the Far Eastern Army, and under the leadership of the special combat team, they would take airships deep into the deep areas of the steppe to behead the princes and leaders of the Mongolian tribes. And to create chaos in the Mongol tribes in the steppe.
In the second phase of the campaign, the three corps of the theater, which had already penetrated into the designated positions, would launch a fierce attack on the elite main forces of the Mongolian divisions, and strive to destroy a large number of the enemy's elite formed units. In the third stage of the campaign, all the main forces, reserve militia, and nomadic detachments were sprinkled on the grasslands to completely sweep the grasslands like a sieve.
The campaign will last more than a year, and the troops participating in the battle will spend a winter on the steppe, and the whole process will be extremely difficult.
After the end of the two campaigns, the Northwest Field Army Command will also garrison the grasslands, completely break up the Mongolian herdsmen on the grasslands, carry out a large-scale reorganization, and then carry out registration, screening, purification, and winter training, dismantle the original nomadic detachments, form more new nomadic detachments, and completely control the northern grasslands.
This is a very difficult task, which will consume a lot of resources of the company, and also requires a large number of employees of the company to do a lot of work in the grassland area with a difficult environment. Fortunately, since the implementation of the northbound plan, the company has laid an extremely deep foundation, trained a large number of Mongolian grassroots cadres, and trained a large number of cadres and non-commissioned officers of Mongolian grassroots troops.
The Far Eastern Company first overthrew the Mongolian upper ruling class, so that the ordinary low-level herdsmen in Mongolia could live a good life, and they also had to endure the large-scale bombardment of the Far Eastern Company's all-round political and ideological education.
