Two hours later, the first reinforcements stormed the pass. This was a Mongolian militia brigade that changed horses frequently and ran for hours along the way, and finally arrived at the battlefield, only to find that the battle was over.

A large number of Mongolian tribal cavalry were placed at the foot of the mountain, sitting densely on the ground, and the war horses were placed on the river in the distance to graze leisurely. More than two dozen machine-gun wagons set up positions around them to prevent the Mongol captives from escaping. There are also some prisoners, who are cleaning the battlefield, and they are followed by some officers and soldiers of the 6th Cavalry Brigade, who are riding war horses and holding guns on guard.

Now these surrendered Mongol captives have completely lost their fighting spirit, and they are all full of ashes. The battle just now brought them close to collapse, and the fierce firepower of the Far Eastern Army was beyond their understanding.

Especially the behemoths floating in the air, which brought them great pressure. After more and more airships arrived on the battlefield, these Mongol captives became more honest, and the originally fierce Mongolian tribal cavalry was now obedient like a flock of sheep.

Reinforcements continued to arrive, making the place extremely lively, and one by one sweaty Far Eastern officers and soldiers, riding around the Mongol captives on horseback, and then left one after another.

Song Tao received a telegram and learned that the Sixth Cavalry Brigade had successfully annihilated more than 40,000 Mongolian tribes with a strength of more than 4,000 troops and various favorable conditions.

"Commander, it seems that our own cavalry unit has good combat effectiveness." Shang Ming, the chief of staff of the theater next to him, couldn't help but say excitedly when he heard the news.

Song Tao laughed and said: "Paralyzed, the two newly built cavalry divisions of the field division have stronger firepower than the cavalry of the First World War. Moreover, there is the all-round support of the air boat troops, if we can't take down a group of routs from the Mongol divisions, then we simply don't develop cavalry in the future. ”

When he said this, he asked again: "What progress has been made in the other corps?" ”

Shang Ming said with a smile: "The situation in other battlefields is relatively smooth, and the Eastern Corps has successfully crossed the Great Khing'an Mountains. The steppes of ******** have been swept away, militia units and nomadic detachments are currently being organized to sweep the steppes, and the main forces have already begun to advance westward, attacking in the direction of Lake Baikal.

The Western Corps also completed the interspersing, divided and surrounded the Erjina Turhut Department and the Alxa Erlut Division, easily annihilated the two elites in a short period of time, and is organizing a large number of nomadic detachments to sweep the grasslands. At present, most of the main force has moved westward.

Because Moxi Mongolia is located in the remote north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, the offensive route is very long, and the troops are interspersed with great difficulty. At present, the various units are still in the arduous interspersed phase. Efforts should be made to encircle the Dzungar Division, the Dulbert Division, the Huite Division, the Heshute Division, and the Turghut Divisions of Moxi Mongolia as quickly as possible. ”

After listening to Shang Ming's words, Song Tao nodded, and he basically knew it in his heart. The campaign, at least so far, has gone relatively well. In particular, the encirclement of Mobei Mongolia by the Northern Corps was very smooth.

Although there were also mistakes in the rout of tens of thousands of enemy troops breaking out of the encirclement, the task of blocking was successfully completed in the end. And created a miracle in which a brigade annihilated a large force of enemy cavalry.

Now it seems that the battlefield situation in Mobei Mongolia has been basically controlled. After the corps units have eliminated the main forces of the divisions, they will continue to advance north to Lake Baikal. Annihilate the Buryat ministries there. The progress of the Eastern Corps is also extremely smooth, and it depends on the situation of the Western Corps in the next few days.

However, according to the current intelligence analysis from the ground reconnaissance units and airship units, there is no sign of mobilization of the various units of the Western Mongolian Corps at present, and the offensive of the Western Corps has already reached the suddenness of the campaign, and once the various units of the Corps are successfully interspersed, the battle situation will certainly develop in a good direction.

The units of the Western Corps have been marching for more than 10 days in succession. It's a painstaking intersperse. The main Mongolian cavalry division and militia brigade, as well as a large number of nomadic detachments, were heading west in the vast western wilderness...... ...... to the west

Riding on his horse, Bargan took out a kettle and poured a few sips of water into his mouth to moisten his chapped lips. A march of more than ten days. The physical exertion of the officers and men of the unit is relatively large.

Fortunately, the officers and men of the Mongolian militia brigade are all nomadic herders in the steppe all the year round, and they have long cultivated a tenacious will, and the march of more than 1,000 miles may be a severe test for other troops, but for the people who live on horseback all the year round, it is nothing at all.

The cavalry of the brigade lined up in a long line on the ground, roaring westward, with no edge in sight. Countless iron horses are like majestic iron streams rolling forward,

Behind the main force there were also a large number of nomadic detachments, driving herds of cattle and sheep, covering the sky and almost covering the steppe. From time to time, an airship could be seen in the air slowly flying by, provoking the officers and soldiers on the ground to take off their helmets and shout loudly.

Bagan was surrounded by dozens of field wagons, including six "gun trucks" and dozens of baggage wagons. Several signal soldiers and more than 100 machine gunners and gunners drawn from various units of the Far Eastern Army sat on it and worked hard.

Although Bagan took great care of them and kept them in the carriage all the way, the arduous march of more than ten days and nights still tortured them enough. One by one, they were sluggish, curled up in the carriage, and they didn't bother to move.

In such a difficult environment, the endurance of the Han officers and soldiers could not be compared with that of the Mongols on the steppe. A group of Mongolian militiamen rode on horses every day, not only experienced a battle, but then immediately threw themselves into such a hard march, and walked for more than ten days, but these guys were stunned that there was no.

When you are hungry, you will chew a few mouthfuls of compressed biscuits, and when you are thirsty, you will drink a few sips of water, even if you are sleepy, you will sleep directly on the horse, and you will sleep very soundly with the war horse, even if you and pee on the horse, it will make a group of Han officers and soldiers admire.

It was more than ten days of non-stop, even if it was stupid, but these Mongolian Tatars still talked and laughed, and they could howl a few times if they were in a good mood. Although it is a ghost crying wolf, which is unbearable, it also reflects the spiritual outlook of others, and it is not affected at all.

"Brigade commander, the telegram you just received ......," a communications staff officer shouted at Bagan from a nearby carriage.

Hearing this, Bagen hurriedly went up, took the telegram from the other party's hand, and then glanced at it a few times, and found that there were a few words that he didn't recognize. Fortunately, he still understood the content of the telegram, which was sent by an airship, informing him that a relatively large tribe had been found ahead.
