Dongye launched a plan to sweep north to Siberia, and the Ob River basin and extremely tributary areas that the West Road Detachment was responsible for sweeping, especially the upper reaches of the Irtysh River and the Ob River basin, were large steppe areas, and the Russian forces were relatively strong. Therefore, Dongye equipped the West Road Detachment with the strength of two brigades of the field division.

In order to ensure the offensive of the Western Route Detachment, the Military Commission also issued an order to the Western Field Army, requiring the Western Field Army to send cavalry units to the north to assist the Eastern Field in launching an attack on the Russian strongholds east of the Ural Mountains in the steppe area of the upper reaches of the Ob River.

The southern part of the upper reaches of the Ob and Irtysh river basins is the nomadic land of the Dzungar tribe of the Moxi Mongol tribe. Last year, a main cavalry division and several reserve militia divisions of the Northwest Field Army's westward marching corps, as well as a number of Mongolian nomadic detachments, occupied the place and spent the winter here.

At present, the various ministries are resting and making active preparations for next year's westward expansion. Now the herdsmen of the Dzungar tribe in this steppe have been basically reorganized by the Northwest Field Army, and the original tribal structure has been broken up, and they have been placed in various parts of Moxi Mongolia.

The Northwest Field Army received a telegram from the Military Commission and immediately drew up a battle plan. And formed a northward detachment all the way to the north, and cooperated with the western sweeping detachment of Dongye, and launched an attack on the east of the Ural Mountains, the upper reaches of the Ob and Irtysh rivers.

The Ob River has a dense network of rivers and many tributaries. The Irtysh River, a tributary of the left bank, is 4,249 kilometers long and has a basin area of about 1592850 square kilometers.

The Far Eastern Army, relying on a large fleet of river steam deck barges, led by a large number of airships of the air boat troops, advanced rapidly along the Ob River, which was mainly a tributary.

The northward detachment of the Northwest Field Army consisted of two main cavalry divisions and a dozen reserve militia brigades, as well as a large number of Mongolian nomadic detachments.

The troops were battalions and reinforced with some nomadic detachments of young and strong herdsmen, which were scattered all over the steppe areas of southern Eastern Siberia.

The assault detachments followed the Ob and Irtysh rivers and the main tributaries. Cooperate with the Northeast West Road Sweeping Detachment to clear the Russian strongholds along the river one by one.

The Xiye Northward Detachment also sent a large number of cavalry units all the way to the vast area east of the Ural Mountains, and with the cooperation of the airboat troops, they blocked several communication arteries leading to the areas west of the Ural Mountains, cutting off the connection between the Ural Mountains and Siberia. As a result, the caravans from Siberia to the area west of the Ural Mountains were almost extinct.

Bagan sat on the wooden wall of a Russian stronghold, smoking a cigarette in his mouth.

"Brigadier ......"

The commanders of several Mongolian militia battalions ran over with a smile and gathered around him.

"Hey...... Those...... Isn't it...... Hey hey ......"

When Bagan heard this, he stood up with a "whew", pointed to several battalion commanders and scolded loudly: "Do you want to find death? The discipline of the troops has been forgotten, and it is cool, but if it is passed out, I, the brigade commander, will be able to do it. Don't think about it well. ”

One of the oldest battalion commanders thought for a moment and said, "Battalion commander, actually...... The order of the troops was to leave no prisoners during the battle, no matter what the circumstances. It is said that these hairy women can't be kept, and if they are killed, they will be killed, you see......"

Bagan still had a straight face when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "I repeat, the discipline of the army cannot be violated. As soon as this opening is opened, it will have to be messed up in the future. You go back and get rid of those. Well...... Make it clean......"

A group of battalion commanders and cadres all accepted the order with bitter faces when they heard this, but the oldest battalion commander suddenly brightened his glasses and shouted loudly: "Battalion commander, we promise to complete the task......"

After he finished speaking, he dragged away a group of confused battalion commanders. Bargan took out another cigarette, lit it, and took a few puffs.

Then he glanced at a few battalion commanders who were excited to leave. He shook his head with a smile. A group of hairy girls with big butts and big naiko appeared in my heart, and my heart couldn't help but get hot.

It's fucking white......

But he just thought about it, it was nothing for the animals below to mess around occasionally, but he really couldn't participate.

Although he has always strictly demanded that the troops must not violate discipline, the troops have been fighting everywhere for the past two years. They are all energetic young militiamen, and it's not a matter of holding it all the time.

Just now, a group of battalion commanders came over, which shows that the militia below has ideas. If he still adheres to discipline, it will inevitably affect the morale of the troops, and he will have to lead the troops to fight in the future, and the morale will not be good after all.

This is also what he discussed with the political commissar of the brigade headquarters and others, after all, this is a group of militia troops, and there is no need to be as strict as the regular army. Anyway, he has been emphasizing battlefield discipline, and he also turns a blind eye to what the people below are doing in this special situation.

The militia brigade led by him has been stationed in the northern part of Lake Balkhash, and recently the northern Xinjiang troops have moved south to Qinghai-Tibet, and his unit has also been transferred to the southern Xinjiang region, just in time for the combat mission of going north to assist in the sweep of the eastern wilderness.

This fortress was a wintering ground in Siberia, where hundreds of Russian fur traders and a large number of Cossacks and Russian hunters came from the Yeseny River in Central Siberia.

It was midnight when Bagan and his troops arrived. Thinking that it was close to the Ural Mountains and that there were hardly any natives around, the Russian hairs in the fortress were drunk, and the guards on the walls were dozing.

The militia brigade easily captured the place and slaughtered all the Russian Maozi here. The wooden shelves outside the walls of the fortress were covered with the corpses of Maozi, and outside the city stood several wooden stakes, on which several Cossack leaders were struggling and letting out a heart-rending howl.

A group of women from Russia worked here as maids, but their main job was to make money by selling fart shares. They happened to be captured by Bagan's troops, and they will also be killed after dawn.

The troops seized nearly a thousand precious furs such as mink, otter and fox skins in this wintering place, as well as some silver coins, as well as a large number of cold weapons and arquebuses, as well as a number of Don hippos and carriages. The harvest is relatively large.

The next morning, the fire raged and frantically flooded the humble stronghold.

Bagan glanced at the sea of fire behind him, turned around expressionlessly, waved his hand violently, and countless cavalry roared out of here.

"Woohoo...... Woohoo......"

The Mongol cavalry, galloping on horseback, shouted excitedly as they ran, and swept all the way along the river to the west, leaving no chickens and dogs behind, and pulling out hairy strongholds one by one, and everywhere there were fortresses burned to ruins.
