Gong Xiaoqi immediately said: "It is easy to fight, but it has become a problem to deal with it, it is difficult to deploy materials, and it is also a problem to send who to station." He stood up and said: "If you want to fight, Mongolia will take it in a month, and Xinjiang will take it in a month, but as the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country and it is difficult to defend the country, and it is rare for us to hold it." From Hulunbuir Road to Yili in Xinjiang, you have to run for half a month, which is 3,000 kilometers away, and the requirements for logistics are too high. Hearing this, everyone began to discuss, yes, with the current transportation conditions, it is too difficult to transport materials, and any army in Xinjiang or Mongolia is a lone army.

After everyone discussed for a while, Wang Maoru said: "Xiaojing (Gong Xiaoqi) is right, the only threat to us now is not the opponent, but logistics. Then he asked Luo Haiquan, "How are your means of transportation prepared?" ”

Luo Haiquan immediately said proudly: "It's ready, it's just that the cold weather in the north is limited, if the weather is warm, it can be compared to the train." ”

The others were immediately surprised and asked, "What's going on?" Can your air force compare to a train? ”

Luo Haiquan smiled and said nothing, but Wang Maoru said: "Everyone should know about Zeppelin, right?" Some said they knew, some said they didn't know, Wang Maoru signaled to Luo Haiquan, and Luo Haiquan took out a stack of black and white photos and distributed them, saying: "According to the structure and principle of the Zeppelin, engineer Wang Deyue made the airship belonging to the Air Force, which has not yet been named. Now three airships have been produced, and Wang Deyue and the students are personally piloting and thinking about Hailar. ”

Wang Maoru was also surprised by Wang Deyue's high efficiency, which has only been two months. I made an airship, and I made three of them in one go, and the efficiency was too high, so I smiled and said: "Our planes are all named after the ancient Rui Beast, this airship, also named after the Rui Beast, I remember that among the nine sons of the dragon, there is a Rui Beast called Zhen Tuo." It is also called a bully, and he likes to carry things on his back. The most important role of our airship is transportation. How about giving it the name 赑屃 ('Bixi' sound'? "No one objected, it was just a twister of the name.

There was a pause. Wang Maoru said: "The General Logistics Department is responsible for logistics issues, but each unit must ensure adequate supplies. Okay, now Zhu Yongquan, deputy chief of the General Staff, will tell you about our plan. ”

Zhu Yongquan walked to the map, glued it to the map with the mold that had been made, and said: "Our plan is this, with the 346th Division as the main force, we will attack Outer Mongolia in three ways. The 3rd Division of the North Route set out from Manchuria and marched west along the Ulji River, first attacking Jegeltu, then reaching the city of Kent in the middle and rear banners, and making peace with the 6th Division in the center and left banners on the right flank. He said, pointing to the cities and flags on the Russian-Mongolian border.

Wang Maoru added: "Commander Ren, you have to pay attention to the fact that you are starting a sweep along the Russian-Mongolian border. Because of their proximity to the Russians, they had the heaviest task, not only to defeat the Mongol forces, but also to guard against Russian harassment. So the task is not light. Maybe together in wartime, the Russians will come to their aid, and then you don't have to make peace with the 6th Division and directly defeat the Russians. ”

"Yes." Ren Yuanxing immediately said excitedly.

Deputy Chief of Staff Zhu Yongquan continued: "The Sixth Division of the Middle Route set off from the New Balhu Right Banner. Along the west of the Yuju River, along the way there are the Chechen Khan in the front banner, the left front banner, the Chechen Han flag Wendur Khan, the right wing in the left banner, directly captured Kulen. You don't have to pay attention to the situation of the other two roads along the way, capture Kulen as quickly as possible, and be sure to completely annihilate the main force of the Mongolian army and the Russian army. ”

Wang Maoru emphasized: "Speaking of which, your task is not light, so the most cars are allocated to you, and the planes will also protect you along the way, is there a problem?" ”

Fei Chaogui immediately said happily: "There is no problem. ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "Once the fight starts, you must not be soft, you are soldiers, not philanthropists." Fei Chaogui immediately smiled and made an expression that I understand.

"The southern route is the troops of the Fourth Division, and the route of your troops marching is like this, starting from the left banner of the new Balhu, all the way down the Khalkha River to the south, capturing the front banner of the left flank, the Tamuchagbulak of the center-right banner, the Chal Garantu, the Hellas Tingyin Somu, the Ulabayan, the middle and end banner, the right wing of the center and the right banner, bypassing the Darhan Mountains, and attacking Kulen from the south to the north." Zhu Yongquan said.

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "The southern road is the easiest, there is no main Mongolian force, there are no Russians, and there is no resistance except for some bannermen. However, there are many Zasak territories that you have passed, and there are many princes, and although the enemy situation is not strict, the situation involved is more complicated. In this way, those who met Zasak voluntarily surrendered to retain the throne of Zasak, and those who opposed us were all killed, and their pastures and land were all given to the herdsmen. ”

Gong Xiaoqi hurriedly said: "Xiushuai, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" If it is distributed to the herdsmen, I am afraid that it will not only cause dissatisfaction among the princes of Outer Mongolia, but also the princes of Eastern Mongolia will also rise up to oppose it. ”

"You've thought it through." Wang Maoru frowned, and suddenly thought that this was not the era of equal land rights, he thought for a while, smiled and said: "In this way, don't give it to the herdsmen, but to the herdsmen who support us and participate in us." He turned to Guo Songling and said, "Maochen, you send officers to follow Gong Xiaoqi's army south, as long as the Mongols send a soldier to join our coalition army, they will divide the grassland." Let's see how many people can be recruited, if we can recruit 7,000 people, we will form a cavalry brigade, if we can find 20,000 people, we will set up a cavalry division. As for the commander of this army...... Wang Maoru looked around for a moment and said with a smile: "Just let Guo Buluo?" Long Qing will take the role. ”

Ren Yuanxing, the commander of the third division, complained depressedly: "Long Qing is the general of our third division, and I am ready to let him take the lead in this western expedition. ”

Gong Xiaoqi happily bared his big teeth and deliberately said cool words: "You're welcome, you're welcome, I'm not allowed to be the commander of Long Qingcheng's cavalry division." Ren Yuanxing glared at him, and said in his heart that you have one more general in plain water.

Wang Maoru said: "Since the Eighth Division is a newly formed unit with combat rifles, it remains in Hulunbuir as a general reserve, ready to support the battle at any time. The Fifth Division remained in Xibutha Prefecture to guard Hulunbuir and Heilongjiang Province, and if any situation arises on either side, your division will be the most critical and important reinforcement. ”

"Yes." Gai Tianjiu and Wang Qiyuan said, Wang Qiyuan sat down, Ren Yuanxing didn't sit down, he said: "Xiushuai, I will ask for battle, and use my department to replace the sixth division as the main attack task." ”

Fei Chaogui, who has always had a good temper, slapped the table and stood up all of a sudden, and said, "Why? I won't let it. ”

Gai Tianjiu said: "Xiu Shuai, his subordinates are all student soldiers, a group of dolls, they can't fight, my subordinates are all elite soldiers, my seventh brigade turned out to be a guard brigade, and the combat effectiveness is naturally needless to say, this can be testified by Division Commander Wang, right, Division Commander Wang?" ”

Wang Qiyuan had no choice but to nod, he couldn't say that his old unit was weak in combat.

Gai Tianjiu said proudly: "The Seventh Cavalry Brigade of our department, that is the ace unit of our army, Commander Gong, you say, what about the Seventh Cavalry Brigade?" ”

Gong Xiaoqi said: "Naturally, it is an absolute trump card. ”

Gai Tianjiu said: "Although the fifteenth brigade of our department is adapted from the Feng army, it is always an elite soldier in a hundred battles, although the military discipline was sloppy before, but now it is different, since I asked the military academy to ask forty military cadets to be company and battalion officers, the combat effectiveness is rising gradually." He faced Wang Maoru and said, "Xiushuai, this can't be denied, right?" ”

Fei Chaogui said angrily: "Don't praise yourself like huā, you can stay at home honestly." ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "You get ready first, I don't think it's so easy to conquer Mongolia, we have to face the combined forces of the Russians and the Mongols, now it depends on whether our coalition is powerful or theirs is powerful." You are always ready to be on standby, and you must not act rashly. ”

Gai Tian sat down unhappily for a long time, and there was no need to fight.

The meeting discussed all morning, including logistics communication, marching operations, and so on, and continued the discussion after lunch at noon, and the leaders of the 346th Division concentrated on the discussion, while the leaders of the two divisions, Gai Tianjiu and Wang Qiyuan, were sullen and did not speak or speak, looking like angry little daughters-in-law. As soon as the meeting ended, Gai Tianjiu followed Wang Maoru like a fart and said, "Xiusheng, you can't favor one over the other......"

Wang Maoru suddenly smiled and said: "Wait a minute, big brother, you even know the idiom 'favoring one over the other'?" Tell me, who taught you behind the scenes? Seeing that Wei Dongling, the chief of staff of the Fifth Division, had a dodge in his eyes, he kicked and said, "Okay, you Wei Baixiang (word Baixiang), it's your little fox's idea from behind, otherwise my eldest brother can rush to fight with a white face?" ”

"Xiushuai, wronged, wronged, you can't slander good people." Wei Dongling had been Wang Maoru's adjutant, of course, he was a little unreasonable, and explained while laughing.

"Wronged you fart." Wang Maoru scolded, and persuaded Gai Tianjiu: "Big brother, your current position is more important than anyone else, if someone takes the opportunity to rebel, or if the army goes north, you are my only reliance." He patted Gai Tianjiu's arm and said, "Why did I leave you behind, because I know that I don't feel at ease when I hand over my hometown to anyone, except you, big brother." ”

"Alas, you, you, can use words to kill me." Gai Tianjiu reluctantly agreed not to fight again.

Later, Wang Maoru sent his adjutant Ma Liang to Outer Mongolia with gifts to invite the Khalkha Central Right Banner of the Chechen Khan to come to Hailar to discuss the matter of borrowing the road, and asked Puna to come back to report on the situation and arrangements for planting big tobacco. After arranging it, he took care of a few small things, and when he returned home, he saw Guifu playing chess with an old man with braided hair, and Ulan Tuya serving tea on the side. The old man was blindfolded, tasted tea carefully, shook his head and said, "The car is five and eight, will!" Dead chess! It turned out to be a blind chess game against Guifu, and Guifu shook his head and said helplessly: "Lost, lost." Seeing Wang Maoru coming in, just about to speak, Wang Maoru pointed his finger and shushed his fingers, and sat opposite the old man instead of Guifu, Guifu said: "Master Nalan, how about another game?"
