Wang Shiteng was puzzled.
It stands to reason that the Outer Mongolians have already deployed a team of a hundred people here, so I guess they can guess their plan.
Why are there no scouts in other areas besides this wave of garrison troops?
Wang Er was unsure when he fired the gun just now. After all, if he was discovered by the other party, even if he didn't shoot, the other party would definitely shoot him.
He thought that when the gunfire rang out, he would definitely meet the Outer Mongolian scouts who came to check the situation along the way, and then he would deal with this group of Outer Mongolians by the way.
Unexpectedly, there was no movement at all.
Even his brothers who deliberately stayed behind and moved forward slowly did not report any signs of hostility.
Estimating the distance, it was now less than one mile away from the enemy's station, and Wang Er's confusion gradually dissipated.
No matter what tricks the Mongolians play, just beat his mother hard!
A bloody battle is about to begin here, and a similar bloody battle is about to begin on the other side.
During the inspection, the Shangdu camp was five hundred meters away.
It can be seen that dozens of wooden sentry towers have been added here in recent days, as well as temporary tents set up with oilcloth and wood.
The snow turned the originally military-green tent into a white patch of snow, making it look like triangular snowdrifts.
Looking from a distance, you can vaguely see some flickering fire.
Through the wind and snow, one could vaguely see the bonfire in the brazier, the flickering fire of the Hadmen in the soldiers' mouths, and the torches in the hands of the soldiers who were riding horses to patrol the defense line along the way.
"Chief Shepherd! Are these military lords really planning to fight the Outer Mongolians in this weather?"
At this time, more than 400 meters away from the Shangdu headquarters and less than 100 meters away from the defense line, more than a dozen riders were watching the defense line area despite the wind and snow.
"It looks like it is! I thought the boss above didn't want to take care of things like this on the grassland in winter, but now it seems that there is still some trouble!"
One Eye exhaled a breath of hot breath and said with a hint of teasing.
Deputy Mu clasped his hands in his sleeves, hunched his neck and nodded with a smile, "They are quite talented! I heard they have brought a lot of good guys, and I think they can deal with these Outer Mongolians!"
"Not necessarily!"
But One Eye shook his head slightly.
"The Kelie Tribe arrived here yesterday. The Kelie Tribe is the most elite tribe under the Qiyan Tribe besides the direct lineage, and is also the most fearless and fearless tribe.
It is true that the Outer Mongols are not invincible, but the Klei tribe is definitely a tough opponent inside.
And what do you think of this line of defense? "
"Defense line?"
Wen Yan, Vice Mu narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the defense lines in the distance that the military men had spent several days building, and after thinking about it, he nodded.
"It should be possible. Although it is different from our grassland, they are all military masters and often fight. They have their own ideas for doing this."
The deputy pastor didn't dare to say anything, but One Eye sneered.
"Haha, why are we hiding our own people?
Their approach may work well in the Central Plains of the South, but it won't work on the grasslands...!
And it’s the grassland in this season! The defense line is stretched too far! "
"this...."
The deputy pastor was dumbfounded, he actually thought so too.
At first glance, this defense line looks like an iron rope, with twenty miles of land extending from the left and right sides of the central part of Chazhong. There is a camp and a sentry tower every other mile.
With these camps as the center, they serve as the pivot point for the scattered scouts.
And some trenches were dug in the front areas of these large and small camps, and some barbed wire was even carefully built in some places.
However, because these barbed wire fences were limited, only a short section was set up in front of some specific trenches, mainly to prevent the cavalry from suddenly attacking the trenches in several main directions.
Although there are some trenches in the camp at the rear, it is obvious that the defenses here are much lax.
Normally, there is really no problem.
After all, the area where the trench guard tower was set up in front was just at an angle to the camp. Even if they were going around the back, they had to first try to see if they could block the machine gun fire from the trench.
It’s just...there wasn’t such a heavy snowstorm the past few days!
It was about five miles away to the right of One-Eye and his group, which was at the rear of the middle area of the entire defense line.
A temporary command post is being set up here.
Different from other areas, the defense here is tighter. Not only is a support battalion stationed, but also an entire firepower reinforcement company is stationed.
Normally it's definitely not so strict, but this time it's different.
As the leader of this independent group, Li Jun knew the identity of the man in front of him very well, the popular person next to Chief Zhang.
Although he was responsible for the full garrison duty this time, and the other party had never been involved in any garrison matters from beginning to end, he understood that this person's safety was more important than anything else.
"Captain Li, there is an Outer Mongolian banner with 5,000 people wandering around here. They should be fine, right?"
Adjutant Zhou asked with a smile. He just said it casually, but of course he also meant to remind him.
Li Jun didn't dare to neglect when he heard the other party's inquiry.
The opponent's military rank may not necessarily be as high as your own, but as the old saying goes, the seventh-rank officer in front of the prime minister's door.
"Don't worry, Adjutant Zhou, I have been doing a lot of research on the Outer Mongolians recently. You see, these are some limited information that I pulled out of the library before departure.
Some are analysis of the combat power of Outer Mongolia's last expedition south, as well as some of their operational ideas.
Secondly, there is some information recently detected by my reconnaissance company!"
Li Jun's waist is straight, he has really done his homework.
I saw several staff officers next to him quickly spreading out a piece of information, all marked with red pen, and the intelligence work was collected in great detail.
The reason why Li Jun's army is an independent regiment instead of an ordinary regiment is that he has real ability.
Following Marshal Yan, I participated in several battles of Zhili and Fengcheng and the Northern Expedition. It was really fought from the bottom up, and I even went to the Army School for further training during this period.
The strategy is excellent both in practice and on paper.
The independent regiment also has many advantages over the ordinary regiment. The non-returnable brigade is deployed in division-level units, and the full strength has increased from about 1,500 to about 2,500 to 3,000.
It has three battalions and a support battalion, and its equipment is also very good.
There are more than a dozen machine guns, several heavy machine guns, and even an artillery battery. It's a pity that this time they were rushing to the grassland to fight, and the journey was far away, so they were not brought out.
But with so many luxurious equipment, Li Jun was confident that fighting the Outer Mongolians was like fighting primitive people.
It’s okay if you don’t come, but if you come you’ll have a bloody nose!
"Adjutant Zhou, I have roughly studied the attack methods of these Outer Mongolians thoroughly.
Moreover, their fighting style is also straightforward. It is nothing more than a cavalry charge style. I have great experience in dealing with this style of play on the battlefield of the Northern Expedition.
Although I don’t know exactly how Director Zhao achieved such a record, I feel that we are not inferior at all.
Even if you can allow our troops to go deep into the grassland, our troops may be able to create greater results! "
As Li Jun spoke, he began to make plans.
That's right, he didn't come to the grassland to look after the gate, but wanted to go further!
