The two assault corps of the northbound group army swept through the entire Monan grassland in a few days with the support of the Liaodong Air Boat Wing.

Li Ming led the Western Military Region to strengthen the field regiment and the headquarters of the group army and the units directly under it, and always followed behind the main force. This time, the Military Commission strengthened the combat support detachments of the Beishang Group Army, including the artillery brigade, the armored brigade, and two delta-wing aircraft squadrons, but they did not participate in the battle at all.

One battle report after another from the front-line troops was constantly transmitted back to the headquarters of the group army. All of them were all kinds of war reports, and when the troops encountered the resistance of various units in Monan, they were basically crushed at the first touch.

The two assault corps, with the support of the airship wing, held the initiative on the battlefield, divided and surrounded the cavalry of the Mongol tribes, and the battle was one-sided.

After more than a year of construction, the six main cavalry divisions of the Mongolian Corps have basically formed combat effectiveness. Even the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian militia brigade is enough to sweep the entire Monan steppe.

Now that the Southern Assault Corps has swept through Ulanqab, the forward iron cavalry has assaulted under the city of Guihua, and then divided the troops into two routes, one way to surround Guihua, and the other road to directly attack Baotou. The Northern Assault Corps wiped out the Urad tribe in a battle, went south to the steppe south of Shepherd Haizi, and crossed the Uga River, and the front of the army was directed at Bayanzhuor.

In order to speed up the attack, the two assault corps launched extremely fierce attacks, and in each battle they tried to encircle and annihilate the enemy as much as possible. Because the speed of the assault was so fast, the nomadic detachments in the rear could not keep up with them, and they did not even have time to collect the prisoners.

In order to ensure the safety of the rear, all the units of the two assault regiments could only slaughter the prisoners in blood, and the Nayan nobles of the various departments on the grassland were only caught. It is even more slaughtered, cutting grass and eradicating the roots. So wherever the two assault legions passed, there was a bloody storm everywhere.

The old men, the children, and the young men were almost wiped out by them, leaving only the young women, and a small number of soldiers and horses to be gathered for the time being, when the nomadic squadrons in the rear came up one after another. Leave it to them to receive.

Because the battlefield area and depth were relatively large, the various nomadic detachments in the rear of the main force also cooperated with the main force to participate in many encirclements of the enemy army, and also achieved certain results. A large number of nomadic squadrons also undertook the task of destroying the remnants of the enemy on the battlefield, as well as collecting the enemy's prisoners, cattle, sheep and horses, and even the elderly, half-grown children and women stepped on the war horses to participate in the battle.

They cleared the remnants of the enemy everywhere on the grassland, collected a large number of prisoners and scattered old and weak women and children, and also helped the main force to collect a large number of cattle, sheep and horses. The counting of the trophies was carried out by the working group of the army group command. It was then placed under the care of various nomadic detachments.

The entire Monan grassland was full of grassroots herdsmen under the rule of the Far Eastern Army, who rode their horses and whipped on the grassland, shouting loudly. Gather the spoils of war everywhere, encounter small tribes and directly co-opt them, encircle and suppress them on the spot with a little resistance, and kill all the people who are more than the wheels.

Three days later, the Southern Corps launched an offensive against naturalization, with the support of the airship wing. It took less than two hours to break the naturalization. Annihilated the elite of the Tumut Division, and captured Baotou at the same time. The army of the Northern Legion also moved south and swept across the Hetao Plain.

The two corps entered the Hetao area almost simultaneously and launched a fierce attack on the Ordos Division, the last target of the campaign.

The Ordos tribe is not one of the many clans and tribes that have appeared in Mongolian history. Rather, it is a group formed by profession and gathered together. Ordos Department. Originally, it was composed of the Ordo Escort Force composed of the most loyal personnel to Genghis Khan from the 10,000 households and 1,000 households from the Great Mongolia, that is, the chief of each 10,000 households and 1,000 households.

This elite guard served for Genghis Khan's four major Ordos that year, and some of them served for Genghis Khan's mother Erlun and Genghis Khan's younger brothers and sons. For hundreds of years of history, the descendants of this guard. Generations of ancestors have inherited the profession of their ancestors, and have always gathered around the god enshrined by Genghis Khan, forming a tribe called "Ordos" who guarded many palaces. During the Ming Dynasty, Ordos entered the Hetao, and the Hetao area also became the nomadic pasture of the Ordos Department.

The Hetao area is surrounded by the Yellow River and the Great Wall, and is surrounded by the Yellow River on three sides and a city on one side. The east, west and north face the river, in the river 'several' shaped bay, the south is connected to the Great Wall, the east, south and west are bordered by Jin, Shaanxi and Ning, and the north is separated from Guihua and Baotou to form the "Golden Triangle". It is about 400 kilometers long from east to west and 340 kilometers from north to south. The middle of the terrain is uplifted, the surrounding is descending, the ravines in the territory are vertical and horizontal, the desert is widely covered, and the terrain is high in the west and low in the east.

In the face of the fierce attack of the two assault corps of the northbound group army, the elite iron cavalry of the Ordos Department was defeated by the Far East Army after only holding out for two days, and then, with the cooperation of the airship troops, the Ordos Department was divided and surrounded, and all of them were annihilated in the Hetao area.

At this point, the second phase of the Far East Company's northward plan was successfully concluded, and the entire campaign took only 12 days to achieve a decisive victory, and the main forces of all units in Monan had been completely annihilated by the Far East Army.

At present, only a few scattered remnants of the various divisions have been defeated, and they are still scattered all over the vast Monan steppe, but they can no longer pose any threat to the Far Eastern Army. The main forces of the Mongol legions, as well as the Far Eastern nomadic detachments scattered throughout the steppe, were undergoing a large-scale purge.

Li Minghe and the headquarters of the group army, as well as the teams directly under the group army, also rushed to the city of Guihua. They basically did not participate in this battle, the artillery brigade did not fire even a single shell, and only the field regiment sent a small number of troops to help the nearby nomadic detachment encircle and suppress the remnants of the enemy army several times.

Their journey was simply an armed march, a leisurely march. Li Ming's main task at the headquarters was to constantly check the telegrams sent back by the various attacking units.

In the sixth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty (1572), Altan Khan, the leader of the Mongolian tribe stationed in Tumochuan, gathered skilled craftsmen of all ethnic groups to imitate the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and broke ground to build a majestic and beautiful city with eight buildings and glazed gold and silver halls on the bank of Daqing Mountain and the Yellow River. It was named "Kuku and Tun" by the Mongols on the grassland, which was later translated as "**", which means "blue city", and after the completion of the city, the Ming court gave it the name "Naturalization City".

The headquarters of the Southern Army was built in the city of Naturalization, and at this time the city of Naturalization had become calm, and many of the nobles of the Tumut tribe in the city had been removed from the city and locked up in a concentration camp outside the city. They were also imprisoned by many nobles such as Nayan and Taiji from the Mongol tribes of Southern Mongols, as well as their families. (To be continued.) )
