Chapter 559: Conquering the 4 Prince Flags
Not to mention whether the herdsmen who had just picked up the Mosin-Nagant were afraid, even the E country soldiers who were supervising the battle beside them were nervous.
These herdsmen may not know that sabers cannot destroy cars, but don’t the soldiers from Country E know this?
Ivanovich originally wanted to force the National Salvation Army to crash head-on into the steel torrent, but when he saw the cavalry gradually slowing down, he knew that the charge was basically over.
"retreat!"
The E country soldier next to Ivanovich took out the signal gun in his hand and fired a shot into the air.
A green flare went up into the sky, and then the horses, as if seeing hope of survival, began to run in both directions.
But those machine guns mounted on top of the cars are no pushovers.
"Da da da"!
The entire convoy was like a sea of fireworks lying on the ground, and began shooting frantically at the cavalry.
Bullets rained down on them, leaving them with nowhere to hide.
Fortunately, Ivanovich and Gan Dunzhu were hiding at the end of the team, and they immediately turned around and ran back.
"Comrade Commissioner, follow me!"
Master Sang Jue, dressed in red, jumped out. Instead of returning along the same route, he ran wildly towards the flag of the Four Princes in the north.
Fortunately, Master Sang Jue was careful, otherwise they would have encountered those nightmare-like armored vehicles again.
The armored vehicles of the 106th Infantry Brigade's Armored Reconnaissance Battalion were like eagles, catching chickens all over the place.
Whether it was machine gun fire or rifle bursts, the eagles on the Mongolian grasslands were knocked to the ground one by one.
After half an hour of chasing, the armored vehicle reluctantly returned to the convoy from the end of the sky.
At this time, Wei Dong had ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and gather all the horses.
"Yes, send a message to the commander. The 106th Infantry Brigade repelled the enemy's large cavalry raid according to the established plan, killing more than enemies, seizing countless carbines, sabers, and horses, and also captured two injured E country soldiers who fell off their horses!"
Wei Dong is now in high spirits. Their casualties this time are less than 50 people. After all, except for the armored reconnaissance battalion which is in close contact with the enemy, the other troops are kept more than 100 meters away from the enemy.
Zhang Dabiao, who was far away in Wuchuan, was very excited after receiving the news!
It was not only because their 106th Infantry Brigade won a great victory, but more importantly, it proved from the side that as long as the tactics were appropriate and the firepower was strong enough, they could completely withstand the enemy's large-scale cavalry attacks.
"Tell Weidong that I will give him a commendation! Also, move forward quickly and capture the Fourth Prince's Flag! Political Commissar Zhao's mobile regiment is waiting here!"
After receiving the telegram, Weidong immediately ordered all vehicles to return to the road and sent out a vanguard to conduct close reconnaissance of the Siwangzi Banner.
(There is a legend why the Fourth Prince Banner is called this name.
During the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolia belonged to the royal territory and the emperor had descendants all over the country, including four princes.
These four princes were not only skilled in martial arts and riding and archery, but also extremely filial. They were obedient to their parents and caring towards the people.
Once, there was a great famine on the grassland, food was scarce, and people were living in misery. Without saying a word, these four princes took their subordinates to look for food everywhere, and finally saved a large number of people.
The people were so grateful that they named this land "Four Princes Banner", which was considered as a permanent monument to the four princes.
From south to north, the terrain of Siziwang Banner consists of the northern edge of Yinshan Mountain Range, Ulanqab Hills and Mongolian Plateau. Among them, mountains account for 4.1%, hills account for 56.1%, and plateaus account for 39.8%. The terrain trend is high in the southeast and low in the northwest.
Therefore, once the 106th Infantry Brigade can capture the town government located at the gateway of the Four Princes Banner, it will be able to advance directly to the northwest border.
In less than ten minutes, the vanguard troops sent news that no trace of the enemy was found in the Fourth Prince Banner Town.
According to reliable intelligence, Yishun'e, the commander of the Fifth Division of the Puppet Mongolian Army, fled north like a frightened bird, taking his gold, silver, jewelry and troops with him when Hohhot was recaptured.
The newly formed National Salvation Army also left completely last night.
Now there are only a dozen fake policemen left in the Siwangzi Banner Town Government.
"In that case, order the First Infantry Battalion to charge in! If they encounter any resistance, kill them without mercy!"
The First Infantry Battalion had not yet had enough fun in the battle just now, so they were ready to fight a big battle. However, they did not expect that before the team deployed, a white flag appeared on the low city wall, and then the city gate opened.
The battalion commander had just sharpened his fists, but he never expected to see a white flag!
"Damn it, what does raising the white flag mean? Are we going to start a fight?"
"Sir, don't joke around, I'm the mayor, I'm here to surrender! Sir, don't shoot, we'll go out and welcome you!"
"No, you should have resisted a bit, why did you surrender?"
The gray-haired old man, along with a dozen puppet policemen and more than twenty puppet government staff, raised their hands one by one and walked out of the city gate.
The battalion commander completely lost his temper. After waiting for a long time without seeing any conspiracy or tricks, he had no choice but to accept their surrender.
The 106st Infantry Battalion of the th Infantry Brigade quickly took over the city walls and gates, controlled key locations such as the puppet police station and puppet government, and set up barricades on the streets in the city.
After everything was ready, he sent a message to Wei Dong, asking him to lead the rest of the troops into the city.
Weidong walked into the pseudo town government and was surprised to see the gray-haired mayor.
"Mayor, I don't think you're dressed that well. Are you acting with us?"
"Sir, I'm not acting. Although I became the mayor of the Japanese, it was because they forced me to do so. I was just a teacher, but if I didn't become the mayor, they would kill my family and students.
I am an old man, so my death is not a pity, but my students will be in trouble!
Moreover, even if I don't become the mayor, they will let someone else do it. Rather than letting others do evil and harm the people, it is better for me to manage this town honestly and accept the scolding!"
Wei Dong looked at the battalion commander and when he saw him nod, he immediately stood up and bowed.
"Sir, you are so righteous! This is my spirit of "If I don't go to hell, who will?" I admire it! However, there is one thing I don't understand. Aren't these people a gathering place of Mongolians? Are there any people learning from you, a Han Chinese?"
"Haha, I have been here since the last dynasty, when it was called the imperial court. I came here to promote Chinese culture. The children here have never seen the outside world, and I have read a few more books. It is interesting to talk to them, so they are happy to learn."
