From ancient times to the present, the two armies have fought against each other and obtained the enemy situation in just a few ways. In addition to the magical "Lonely and Void Art", many other methods have been discussed in military books, such as battlefield reconnaissance, tongue grabbing, etc.

The information that Fu Bao had obtained with all his life was fine. The key was that the Northern Navy's completely different tactical system and endless equipment made the Qing army no longer able to use the old methods to correctly estimate the opponent's troops. In addition, when Qianlong left Baoning, he instructed him not to disclose the true combat power of the Northern Navy to the heads of the Khalkha Zhazak Banners, so as not to have a sense of destiny towards the court.

Although forty years have passed since the "retreatment of the post office", Qianlong has always been guarded against these kings and kings of Khalkha; he asked them to visit Rehe every year, which was a marriage and check and balance, which was a carrot and a stick.

Although the senior officials of the Qing court knew that the combat power of the Northern Navy was terrible and that various means emerged on the battlefield were endless, they did not dare to tell the truth to the Khalkha tribes.

First of all, it is difficult to explain. The Qing Dynasty himself still can't understand many things and is confused. For example, the strong flashlight of the Eighteen Beads. In the Qing Dynasty, this thing seems to be no more reasonable explanation except "witchcraft".

The second is that once you say it too clearly, it will definitely hit the morale of the military. For example, machine guns, the Qing court, from the Military Affairs Office to the Ministry of War, knew that the Northern Navy had a "sea gun" that could be fired continuously, which was a hundred times more fierce than the continuous bead fast guns commonly used by soldiers of the Northern Navy. However, for the Khalkha Mongolian divisions who had never fought with the Northern Navy, speaking too clearly would have the opposite effect.

As for the artillery of the Northern Navy, if the Zasak Taiji in various Khalkha tribes knew that the artillery of the Northern Navy was more powerful and faster than the "Wucheng Yonggu General Cannon" of the Qing Dynasty, many princes Taiji would probably give up.

At least Tsarist Russia also had a flintlock rifle and was equipped with regiment artillery. The Mongol archers in Khalkha were all bows and arrows, and they were definitely cannon fodder.

Now, whether it is Qianlong or the ministers below, they are extremely afraid of the Northern Navy's operation to send troops to Outer Mongolia from the bottom of their hearts; because some people have guessed that Zhao Xin's move is probably intended to cut off the retreat of the Manchus' escape from the west.

If you take down the Khalkha Mongolia, you can directly take Urumqi and Yili along the Kobdo South Road. The northeast is gone, and the northwest is gone. If Zhao Xin leads his army to ashore from Dagukou, the Qing monarchs and ministers will only end up like the Southern Ming Dynasty. But the problem is that the Northern Navy has large iron ships and various gunboats, and the Yangtze River is like paper-paste.

In this way, the Qing dynasties could only go to the place of Sichuan, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou. It was a place of malaria. It was purely suicide for northerners to go to that place!

Just as Baoning was struggling, there were messy gunshots coming from far northeast direction. His heart suddenly skipped a beat. No need to think that Ailona had already had anger!

"Master, what should I do?"

The night wind suddenly blew, Baoning's whole body shivered and his face turned pale in an instant.

"If you lose your troops and humiliate the country, you will die when you return." He completely figured it out at this time. The imperial court had already used all his energy to deal with the Northern Hai Army. If he retreated tonight, tens of thousands of troops would not make any contributions and he would have no way out.

Now he can only be sure that Fu Bao's intelligence is fine. No matter how powerful the North Navy is, it is not eight-armed Nezha. He has attacked with more than ten times his troops. How could he defeat half of the people with his fighting force?

Thinking of this, he pulled out his knife and said to the captain of the personal soldiers: "Tell me my order, the whole army will cross the river! We must bring down these two hills tonight!"

The night in Chahan Toro Sea was destined to be uneasy. Although the four thousand Qing troops attacked by the south road at night were defeated, the Qing army still had nine thousand troops in the middle and northern roads. Moreover, due to the communication conditions of this year and month, the Qing army on the north road could not know the specific situation in the south, so Ailona launched the operation at the prescribed time.

As the reconnaissance platoon fought and retreated, the earth began to shake like an explosive pack lit up. The steps of countless people running were so scared that the birds returned home were "hula" flying up, flapping their wings in the night sky, swaying and dancing in shock.

As the flares lit up again in the air, the North Navy soldiers on the hilltop position on the north side could see large areas of black soldiers rushing towards the hill where they were, like a black wave that soon rushed to the foot of the mountain.

"Kill!" Seeing his subordinates fighting for the first place, Ulya Sutai's counselor Ailon Aran yelled: "Kill all the pirates in the North, each person will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver! Those who get one head will have a third level of military merit!"

Bullets as dense as rain fell from the mountainside. In a blink of an eye, dozens of Mongolian soldiers rushed to the front were knocked over to the ground. The traps buried at the foot of the mountain and on the hillside during the day were occasionally touched and triggered by people, and the fires of the grenade explosion followed.

At this moment, on the west side of the Northern Navy position, the sound of shouts of killing were coming, and the Qing army led by Baoning was forcing the crossing of the Tes River.

The light and heavy weapons on the positions of the first and second battalions were fully fired, and the cooks were helping to transport ammunition into the trenches. The second battalion commander Zhou Zhong loudly ordered the two companies down the mountain to come back quickly in the walkie-talkie. He no longer cared about blaming himself, and no one expected that the Qing army attacked at night would come so many times.

Hearing the sound of gunfire in the north, and seeing the Northern Hai army present suddenly dropping their own people and turning around and leaving, the thousands of captured Qing troops on the south road were secretly happy. Many people untied the ropes tied to their legs and then fled into the darkness.

The sound of killing at the foot of the mountain shook the sky, and the light and dark light reflected on Mislang's iron-cast face. In the telescope's vision, the Qing army densely arrived at the foot of the mountain one after another, and then rushed upwards.

Xingfu, the deputy commander-in-chief who led the Zasaktu Khan's troops to attack, suffered heavy losses after several rounds of charge. He retreated in a panic with seven or eight guards, ran to Ailona and shouted: "Military! The guns and cannons of the North Sea are too fierce. My subordinates have all died in battle..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Ailona stood motionless, with two hundred Eight Banner Mongolian soldiers behind him, turning a blind eye to the stray bullets whizzing by around him. After hearing Xingfu's words, it took a while before he asked, "How many people do you have left?"

“There are more than a thousand more.”

"You dare to withdraw if there are more than a thousand left? Forgot what you said in the military discussion before? There will be advances and no retreats in this battle!"

"Military Gate!"

Xingfu had already seen that Ailona's tone was wrong, but he claimed to be a clan member and a third-class assistant duke. Ailona should not dare to do anything to him, so he took a few steps forward and was about to explain, but Ailona raised his hand and the cold Yanling knife entered without a chest.

"Which general dares to abandon his troops and escape? This is a role model!" Under the light and shadow, Ailona kicked Xingfu's stomach and pulled out a knife at the same time. Seeing a yellow-belted clan's family being killed, Xingfu's guards and several Zasak Taiji who led his troops backed back one after another.

Arona held his bloody sword and sternly said to the Lords of Zazak: "The Emperor has always treated you as much kind as a mountain. Today is the time to serve! The Mongolian man who is not afraid of death follows me!"

The crowd of Taijibels present were stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted together, and turned around and rushed towards the mountain with his retreating subordinates.

When the Qing army entered a distance of only fifty meters from the Northern Navy position, grenades as dense as raindrops hit the night sky, clusters of fire and smoke rose up, causing the Qing army to burst into tears and howls.

"Don't stop! Keep rushing!" As the smoke filled the air, Ailona, ​​who had squatted down, suddenly stood up, roared, and rushed into the smoke with more than 20 guards. Behind him, the tide of Mongolians also followed.

All of them have reached this point. Whether it is ordinary Arrow Ding or the Zazak lords, they all know that there is no way out, otherwise the entire army will collapse.

The North Navy's machine gun had already turned red, and the machine gunners had no time to change the barrel, so they just tightened the trigger and kept firing left and right. The deputy shooter on the side was crazy and used a loader to put bullets on the empty magazine, but he still couldn't keep up with his companions' speed.

"Click!Click!" The machine gun whose barrel was already red suddenly stopped, and the shooter shouted: "Bullet!"

"It's all done!"

The same scene was performed in other machine gun positions on the front line. The machine gunner who had exhausted the bullets picked up the only two grenades, pulled the fuse and threw them out.

The eight mortars set up on the artillery positions have been furious, and the ruler position at the foot of the mountain has been measured in advance. Load, fire! Load, fire...

At this time, the Qing army attacking the North Road had approached to a position only fifty meters away from the North Navy trenches. The archers hiding behind the pile of corpses and the few bird gunmen began to shoot, and the North Navy on the position immediately suffered casualties. As the firepower weakened, more than a dozen Qing troops finally entered the first trench.

At this time, many North Navy soldiers had already wiped out all their ammunition, so the bloody hand-to-hand battle began.

The swords and arrows were screaming and howling. Some soldiers were cut off their arms, broken necks, and cut off their covers. Some Mongolians were stabbed into their chests and abdomen by bayonets and flowed all over the ground. Blood rain was splashed in the first trench, and human heads and broken limbs were kicked around. Occasionally, an explosion sounded, which was the wounded soldiers of the North Navy who pulled the grenades on their bodies.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

The soldiers remaining in the first trench retreated along the traffic trench, and the soldiers behind the hall stabbed the bayonets in their hands into the chest of the rushing Qing army. As thousands of Qing troops rushed to the position, the first trench was lost.

"All of them are good! Keep killing! No one left!" Aaron jumped into the trenches and shouted excitedly.

Just when the Qing army thought victory was in sight, some unknown objects suddenly rolled out from the edge of the second trench more than 20 meters away. When the spindle-shaped shell rolled on the hillside, Ding Ling made a clang of metal hitting. When these strange-shaped objects rolled into the first trench, the Mongolian soldiers squeezed into the tunnel dodged to both sides.

"What is this?" Someone touched the knife in his hand and made a crisp metal sound. "Iron?"

Just when the Mongolian soldiers were not sure about the reason, the fire broke out in the trenches. Boom! Boom! Boom...

"What a pity..." A brief thought flashed through Alona's mind and was immediately thrown into the air.

Hundreds of lives were wiped out in an instant, and huge explosions made the entire hill like a volcano erupt. This scene made the souls of thousands of Mongolian soldiers at the foot of the mountain scatter. When the rain of blood mixed with soil, gravel and residual limbs scattered from the air and poured the Qing army at the foot of the mountain with blood on its face, the Qing army on both sides of the northwest immediately collapsed.

That night, the "South Detachment" of the Northern Navy fought against the 13,000 Qing army with 800 people, killing and injuring more than 6,000 people, and capturing more than 1,500 people. Baoning, who was defeated and retreated to the camp, ordered the entire army to retreat 70 miles the next morning.

As for the two battalions led by Mislang, two companies on the hilltop position on the north side suffered heavy losses in hand-to-hand combat; one company under Zhou Zhong on the south side was almost fought without a single fight, and Zhou Zhong himself was also hit in the hand-to-hand combat. Fortunately, the two companies sent before rushed back desperately, and then they shot the Qing army attacking in the middle. The most important thing is that if Mislang had not ordered the artillery soldiers to use mortar shells as explosives at a critical moment, the North Navy, which almost had to be completely wiped out, might have been wiped out.

From the end, Mislang and his actions in the Chahantoro Sea completely disrupted Qianlong's entire deployment, and the Qing army in the western part of Hang Aishan was completely unable to provide support to the Agui army in the eastern part. After this battle, the lords of Zhazak west of Hang Aishan never launched a large-scale offensive against the Northern Navy, laying a solid foundation for the "South Detachment" to the final occupation of Kobdo.

On the third day after the battle in Chahantorohai, the radio station of the "South Detachment" finally resumed contact with Chiyan City. In the evening of that day, Zhao Xin, who had just arrived in Boli Town for only one day, saw the telegram.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's great!" Zhao Xin excitedly slammed the table in excitement after reading the telegram.

Wang Zhenyi, who was playing Go with A Miao on the side, asked curiously: "What's so happy?"

"Military Secret."

Wang Zhenyi gave Zhao Xin a blank look when she heard this, thinking that anyone would like to know. But she also knew that what could make Zhao Xin happy at the moment was probably related to Khalkha.

She has been inspecting Zhao Xin for more than ten days. Although the relationship between the two has not yet reached the point of making breakthrough progress, they are still much closer. As they get closer, Wang Zhenyi has gained more knowledge of Zhao Xin's character; even in private, he never mentions military affairs to himself or A Miao.

Zhao Xin smiled and took out a map from the table, looked carefully for a moment, and then said, "I have something to do to leave for a few days. Are you two waiting for me here, or take a boat to Heilongjiang City first?"

Wang Zhenyi was silent for a while and said softly: "How many days?"

"Five to seven days."

"Then we'll wait for you to come back." Wang Zhenyi blurted out without thinking, and then her cheeks turned a little red.

"Well, I originally wanted to visit Mr. Ping for a while, so please and Mr. Rong Fu."

Considering the situation on Huji's side, Zhao Xin felt that he had to go there. Although the troops could not be replenished, the food and ammunition had to be supplied. After all, the Chahan Toro Sea is more than 900 miles away from Ulya Sutai. It was too irrelevant to transport supplies from Chiyan City, so he could only go there by himself.

In addition, Hu Ji and his team also captured more than 1,500 prisoners. If they could be transformed and fought for it, they could be civilians if they could not join the army, thus expanding the influence of the Northern Navy in the Tanu Ulianghai and the Zasaktu Khan tribe.
