Chapter 1,000 is going well
This recuperation of the Western Army Corps greatly relieved the physical strength of the officers and men of the troops, who had been marching for more than 10 days in succession. Many of the soldiers ate a meal of mutton to their heart's content, and all of them fell asleep with their heads undressed.
There was silence in the camp, and even the camp where the horses were housed was silent. The day and night march over the past few days was an extremely severe test for the officers and men of the Western Army Corps and the war horses.
The next day, as soon as the sky was dark, the interspersed troops from all directions of the Western Army rose up one after another, and the whole camp was also busy.
The cooking class has already prepared breakfast, which includes piping hot rice porridge boiled with dried vegetables and meat floss, steaming white flour steamed buns, refreshing pickles, two eggs and a box of canned whale meat.
Next, the interspersing of the various units in the westward campaign is about to end, and the second phase of the campaign is about to begin. This meal may be the last hot meal before the end of the battle. Once a war starts, you can only deal with a mouthful of compressed biscuits on a war horse all day long, so how can you have time to start a gang.
"Didi...... Tick ......"
As soon as the officers and men had finished breakfast, the hurried rallying cry sounded.
Bagan had already made preparations, and he stood outside the camp on his horse, watching his troops go about everywhere. Last night, the cadres of various units and brigades held a meeting for several hours, and when they came back, it was already the middle of the night, and they had only slept for more than three hours. But this thing is stunned and has no, and is still in good spirits.
He has been a dilapidated household on the grassland since he was a child, and when his mother died, he was only eleven or twelve years old. Like a weed, it survived hungry and full of hunger by relying on God. After many years of suffering, I haven't suffered anything. Now that he is well fed and warmly clothed, it is nothing to him not sleeping for a few days.
The main forces of the Western Corps began a tense interspersed march again, and countless Far Eastern cavalry were fully dressed. The neat cavalry columns continued to advance from all directions, and the ranks like rolling iron streams slowly gathered together and roared westward.
At the same time, the main forces of the Eastern Corps also left the ******** steppe. Troops are advancing eastward. Most of the Eastern Corps is the main cavalry division and militia brigade composed of the natives of the Northeast and the Northeast, supplemented by a large number of Mongolian nomadic detachments and a logistics support brigade composed of young people from the Outer Northeast.
Although they can't be compared with the peoples on horseback on the grassland, these natives from the Outer Northeast who live in the deep mountains and old forests all the year round climb the ice and lie in the snow all year round, and have an extremely tenacious character. This time, the troops marched west to support the northward corps, and they had to travel nearly 1,000 kilometers day and night to the west to the south of Lake Baikal.
They crossed the Great Khing'an Mountains from the outer northeast region, swept through the ********, and fought all the way to Hulun Lake. A fierce battle for many days. It's already exhausting for them. But they did not rest, and the large army continued to move west into Mobei, attacking and advancing south of Lake Baikal.
The Northwest Field Army's westward marching corps, northward corps, and eastern corps attacked very rapidly, and a large cavalry group, with the assistance of the airboat troops, dealt a devastating blow to the various departments of the Mobei and Moxi Mongolian steppes.
At that time, Genghis Khan unified the northern steppe, conquered the world, and established a vast steppe empire across the Eurasian continent. He was the greatest military strategist. An army with first-class advanced weapons and excellent qualities in the world has been established. This army was the most combat-ready army in the world at that time.
The most important feature of the society of the Mongol Empire was the integration of military and government, military and civilian. Its people are all soldiers, and the vast number of herdsmen participate in labor production in peacetime, and in wartime they cross their horses and bend their bows into battle.
According to the needs of the war and the characteristics of Mongolian society, Genghis Khan established a feudal regime with a unified production, administration, and military system. He rewarded the meritorious deeds of the meritorious ministers who had made contributions to the founding of the country, and sealed the faces of 10,000 households, 1000 households, and 10 households. The herdsmen and land are divided into 10, 100, 1,000, and 10,000 households as administrative units, and are subordinate to the jurisdiction of Nayan at all levels.
Each administrative division is a first-class military institution. Every family is a fighting unit. Thousand, hundred, and ten household chiefs at all levels have become feudal lords of all sizes, and they are also military leaders at all levels, and the common people regularly serve and pay tribute to the lords in peacetime, and prepare their own materials to go out with Nayan in wartime.
The tactics of the corps of the Northwest Field Army of the Far Eastern Army also borrowed a lot of Temujin's tactical concepts in those years, and the main point was a surprise attack. Fight quickly and use bold surprises, surprise attacks, and rush tactics on a large scale. The main tactical characteristics are long-distance outflanking and detouring, and splitting and combining.
Use your speed to launch a bold, risky attack, punch and rush, and fight quickly. Large-scale use of cavalry groups at the time and place of surprise with troops, weapons, speed, and tactics to completely annihilate the enemy in a very short period of time.
It is undeniable that Temujin was a brilliant military strategist, but he never changed the nomadic nature of the Mongol Empire, and with his death, the vast empire fell apart in an instant.
No matter how great Genghis Khan is, he can't change this reality, a regime that only robs and destroys, and must continue to expand in order to maintain its rule and meet the material and power needs of the ruling class.
But when the territory they rule is so large that there is not enough communication system and transportation system, it will inevitably make the rulers of various places go their own way, and division can only be said to be an inevitable result.
Today, the Mongols in the steppes of the northern steppe have long lost their former glory. The tribes are falling apart, fighting for resources and simply unable to come together.
Even the combat power that was the most proud back then has now declined. The Far East, West and North Field Army not only borrowed from the tactics and tactics of the Mongolian iron cavalry in those years, but also possessed a communication system, weapons and equipment that were hundreds of years ahead of this era, and had the all-round support of a powerful airboat force.
Mongols in the steppe. In the face of such a fierce attack by such a powerful field army in the far east, west and north, even the elite cavalry of the major tribes would collapse at the touch of a button when they encountered the Far Eastern Army, and they could not create any threat to the Far Eastern Army at all.
The Western Advance Corps swept all the way to the northwest and quickly annihilated the elite main forces of the Dzungar Division, the Dulbert Division, the Huite Division, the Heshute Division, and the Turhut Division. At present, the main cavalry divisions, militia brigades, and nomadic detachments are devoting a large number of troops to sweep the steppe.
After sweeping the ******** steppe, the Eastern Corps marched eastward to join forces with the northward corps in the southern part of Lake Baikal and launched a fierce attack on the Briyats around Lake Baikal.
The Buryats, who were nomadic on the shores of Lake Baikal, were also powerless in the face of the fierce field armies of the Far East, West and North, and the tribes scattered all over the country were overwhelmed by countless Far Eastern iron cavalry one by one, leaving only corpses everywhere and blood all over the sky.
