Although the purpose and effect of this action have been achieved, and it has greatly exceeded expectations, whether this plan can be implemented, Song Tao will submit the follow-up plan to the company's board of directors for deliberation, and then the collective vote can be formally implemented after the majority is approved.

To be honest, Song Tao and Gao Qiang are still very confident in whether this plan can be passed, after all, the situation has developed to this point, and it is no longer up to Far East to choose.

The Western Advance Corps made such a fuss in Siberia and the area west of the Ural Mountains, which had already provoked the Russians.

This battle will be fought by the Far Eastern Army next spring, because the furious polar bear west of the Ural Mountains is already mobilizing the whole country to prepare for next year's eastward expedition to Siberia.

In order to smoothly approve the plan at the board committee, Song Tao rushed back to Shenyang by airship, personally handed over the report to Gao Jianguo, Li Ming, and other members of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, and convened a meeting of the Military Commission to discuss the plan.

Regarding Song Tao's sudden appearance, Gao Jianguo and Li Ming were quite surprised. Gao Jianguo frowned and said, "What are you doing when you come back, is there something wrong with your Northwest Field Army's troops going south to Qinghai-Tibet?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the troops going south to Qinghai and Tibet have been very smooth, all the way like a bamboo, sweeping through Qinghai and Tibet, and the second phase of the sweeping operation has been completed, and the troops are now organizing the local indigenous people to carry out winter training and political and ideological education, and all the work is very normal."

Li Ming glared, and scolded with a smile: "Then why did you come back to do it, don't you know that the aftermath work in the Qinghai-Tibet region is very important, are you trying to pick a pick?" ”

Song Tao said with a smile: "I came back this time because I have an important job, and I have to report to the organization. This is a super big deal, and once it is done, it will be of great significance to our Far East company. ”

Song Tao turned his head and beckoned behind him. A guard immediately ran up and laid a map on the table. Gao Jianguo and Li Ming took a look and found that this was a map of Eastern Siberia.

Next, Song Tao reported in detail to several Standing Committee members of the Central Military Commission on the actions organized by the Northwest Field Army's Westward Advance Corps, and then took out the new plan he proposed and handed it over to several Standing Committee members.

Everyone took the plan and looked at it for a while. Gao Jianguo glanced at Song Tao, and then said with a smile: "You kid is really capable of doing it, let your Northwest Field Army cooperate with the Eastern Field Operation, you are good, make such a big scene." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at the other Standing Committee members, and then said in a deep voice: "Since the Northwest Field Army has provoked Maozi, it is estimated that Maozi's army will inevitably invade Siberia next year, and the scale of Russia cannot be small from previous times."

Let's talk about our ideas. ”

Qiao Haipeng frowned and said: "Next year, the task of the Northwest Field Army is very heavy, not only to continue to advance westward into the Kazakh Khanate. If you have to go south to join the Samurai Army in Persia, will the troops and supplies be tight? ”

Li Yukun thought for a while and said: "There is no problem in terms of materials, after nearly a year of preparation, the material preparation of the Northwest Field Army is still very sufficient. In fact, there is no problem in terms of soldiers, can troops be drawn from the East Field? ”

Song Tao also smiled and said: "We in the West Field did not mean to eat alone, and the East Field will not have any combat missions next year, so we will make a table of big dishes together, and once wipe out the elite main force of Maozi in the area east of the Ural Mountains." The Western Advance Corps attacked the Kazakh Khanate. It is also possible to take advantage of the emptiness in Russia and divide part of the forces to the north. Swept across the South Russian steppe. ”

Gao Jianguo slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "Then **** a vote, if Mao Zi really wants to devote the strength of the country to form a huge Eastern Expeditionary Army, then there is really something to play." ”

Li Ming also nodded and said: "I think this plan still has a lot of operability, so let's study it today." Try to be as good as possible before submitting the plan to the Board Committee for consideration. ”

Two days later, several members of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission applied for an emergency meeting of the board committee and submitted a complete battle plan to the board committee for deliberation.

The plan was unanimously approved. After all, the actions of the Northwest Field Army have already mobilized the whole country that has stimulated Russia, and this battle must be fought if it is not fought.

Moreover, the North-Western Field Army, disguised as Tatars, succeeded in confusing the Russians into believing that the occupation of Siberia was occupied by Tatars from the southern steppes.

Faced with primitive nomads without firearms, the Russians, of course, would not rest on their laurels. Therefore, Russia is bound to form a strong eastern crusade force next spring and cross the eastern Ural Mountains to conquer Siberia.

The Central Military Commission has also begun to make relatively big adjustments to next year's plan. In the spring of next year, the main force of the Northeast Field Army will be transferred to the west to the area east of the Ural Mountains, and some of the main forces of the Westward Advance Corps will be jointly formed into the Siberian Corps.

The corps commander Wang Yaowu and political commissar He Guanghua were equipped with three main cavalry divisions and one field division of the indigenous people in the eastern field, one main Mongolian cavalry division and several reserve militia brigades in the western field, as well as a large number of nomadic detachments.

The Military Council also commended the various nomadic detachments that had recently taken part in the suppression of the Russian army. In order to confuse the Russian army, they made very big sacrifices, and used cold weapons such as bows and arrows and scimitars to stubbornly resist thousands of Russian troops equipped with firearms.

Although a large number of nomadic detachments carried out the guerrilla tactics formulated for them by the Western Advance Corps, the entire blocking battle was still very difficult, with a total of more than 3,000 casualties, of which more than 1,000 were killed.

In the face of the fierce bombardment of the Russian army by arquebuses and front-loading artillery, the herdsmen of the nomadic detachment did not have the slightest fear, although the losses were not small, but they confused the Russian army very well.

The vast number of herdsmen who participated in the battle of various nomadic detachments allowed the Russian army to flee all the way back to the west of the Ural Mountains in an extremely difficult situation, and more than half of them suffered casualties. It made a great contribution to the operational plan of the Military Commission for next year in the area east of the Ural Mountains.

For this reason, the Military Commission of the Far Eastern Army also issued a Far Eastern Medal of Courage to all the injured herdsmen who participated in the war, and the herdsmen who died in the war were posthumously recognized as martyrs, and their families enjoyed the treatment of military martyrs. All the nomadic detachments that participated in the war were also awarded the honorary title of collective third-class meritorious service.

In addition to these posthumous honors, the Far East also took out a large amount of materials to reward them, and distributed a large number of cattle, sheep and other materials to the families of military martyrs and herdsmen who were injured in the war. (To be continued.) )
