    There is an ongoing debate in "Bayinbuluke".

    The battle situation changed so quickly that the Black Lama did not expect that the situation that was originally a sure victory would be suddenly destroyed by Zhang Zongchang's cavalry who killed him in mid-air.  Not only were the horse bandits on the periphery beaten to a pulp, the People's Army also set up machine guns in front of the stronghold and set up a siege posture.  Originally, he wanted to use the geographical convenience to consume the lives of the People's Army. Now it seems that the final result is very likely that his people will have to brave the firepower of the People's Army to break out.

    The word "breakout" has been mentioned several times by Baron Wen Ganlun. It was previously used to mean switching to fighting or giving up.

    Lie Zuxin was also helping Wen Ganlun with his opinions. He said: "We don't have heavy firepower, and we will suffer a big loss in a head-to-head exchange of fire with the Chinese army. They are encircling and not fighting now, and they are probably just deploying artillery. Without foreign aid, there will be no  The news is that we are waiting to die here. The best way now is to break out of the encirclement and advance towards Xinjiang while their footing is unstable. Mr. Baron¡¯s opinion is very pertinent. Xinjiang has great potential, so we can only sit back and wait for death here!"

    He was the actual commander of the Asian Cavalry Division at the time, and he was very skilled in military arts.

    The black lama also felt bad.  When Wen Ganlun and others came to submit, he could see that they still had some strength. After all, they were a regular army and had seen blood in several years of war. Otherwise, the reputation of the Asian Cavalry Division would not be so great.  But just such an army was beaten to pieces by the White Russian Legion.

    Now, the opponent has arrived at the city, and he has a large number of people. If he didn't have a little confidence in the location, I'm afraid he would be the first to run away.

    He believes that now is not a good time to escape: "If you leave such a strong fortress undefended, the general will not be a match for the Han army in the vast Gobi Desert. Even if you enter Xinjiang, won't they pursue you? My opinion is to use the land  The advantage will consume the enemy. If it is impossible to defend in the end, it will not be too late to wait for an opportunity to break out. How can there be any reason to flee when the enemy is seen? Wouldn't that become what the Han people call fleeing?"

    Wen Ganlun sneered and said, "There's nothing wrong with running away. What I'm afraid of is that everyone will be crowded here and be eaten by others! Isn't there a saying in China that 'catching a turtle in a urn', how long can we hold on if we are huddled here?"

    The Black Lama was still arrogant: "The terrain here is very dangerous, and the road to the entrance of Guangzhai cannot be saved without thousands of lives. Besides, I have food and water here, which is enough to last more than half a year. The Chinese army can't even get in!"  "

    Wen Ganlun frowned and said dissatisfied: "What about half a year later? We can't place our hopes on the Chinese army's retreat! Besides, in my opinion, although this place is dangerous, it is far from impregnable. That village  Door, one cannonball is enough!"

    The Black Lama shook his head and said, "Mr. Baron, this is the Gobi, not the Siberian Plateau. The Chinese army has artillery, but how did they transport it here? There are high mountains in the west and north, and birds can't fly over;  It¡¯s difficult for people to walk in the valley, let alone transporting cannons here?¡±

    Seeing that he was unreasonable, Wen Ganlun said angrily: "It's difficult to get in the artillery - but what about the mortars? What about the heavy machine guns? As long as the Chinese army is determined to destroy them, the current bunkers will not be able to function!"  He has personally experienced a battle, and he knows more than one and a half stars more about the uses of these weapons than the Black Lama does?

    The other Mongolian bandit leaders Bashichi, Kegorodov, Kazantsev and others are attached to each other: the Russians mostly agree with Wen Ganlun, and the Mongolians still respect the black lama Hutubatu.  Deadlock.

    However, the Black Lama had many people, and he did not agree with a breakout. Wen Ganlun and others would not be stupid enough to use their few hundred remaining men to fight the People's Army head-on. The final result could only be to agree to the Black Lama's suggestion: wait  Wait and see.

    So, at the foot of Mazong Mountain, the two forces, both of which had large armed forces, faced off at the mountain pass.  The Black Lama has withdrawn all the armed forces wandering outside the fort - there are not many that can be gathered. Zhang Zongchang's White Russian Army is really bloodthirsty. I heard that before the war, he gave a bounty: a bandit 10  A big ocean, 50 big oceans for a boss, and a thousand rewards for catching or killing Black Lama, Wen Ganlun, etc.

    The Belarusian army is a group of ruffians who have no country and no ideals. Many of them have the mentality of being drunk now, and their desire for money is surprisingly strong, so they are also extremely passionate about military success.

    After the unprecedented success of the surprise attack on the bandit army, most of the bandit army has been dispersed or disabled. Some people are still not satisfied and go to the Gobi for "hunting" in twos and threes.  As descendants of Cossacks, they have excellent riding skills and strong fighting qualities and will. Ordinary stragglers are simply prey.

    For several days, after all the horse bandits in the Gobi Desert were wiped out, Mazong Mountain was already deserted.?Completely cut off from the outside world.  What the gangsters who were waiting to severely inflict heavy damage on the People's Army and then escape would not have imagined that their good days were about to come.

    The reinforcements of the People's Army have arrived, and they bring with them a combination that is absolutely invincible in the northwest: cavalry, heavy machine guns and mortars.

    This is the army led by Zhang Hanqing himself.  When he heard that the Jiuquan garrison had left the border without authorization to suppress the bandits, it was already Dong Yanping's third day out of the border. He immediately ordered the first section of the 4th Cavalry Division to send troops northward, and ordered all the garrison troops from Lanzhou to Jiuquan to immediately hand over disaster relief and aftermath work.  With the local government, switch to full-time combat mode.

    Along the ancient Silk Road, there are tens of thousands of people walking everywhere at the same time in Hula Ladi, adding security to this glorious road that has been left to future generations by ancestors for thousands of years.  With the Black Lama bandits in the Black Gobi being contained in their lair, the Gansu-Xinjiang Passage was restored.  The 4th Division traveled simultaneously, and the vanguard entered Jiuquan on the 10th, and then took a short rest before marching towards the Black Gobi.  At this time, the last infantry baggage unit of the 2nd Division had just left Lanzhou City.

    The original deployment was temporarily modified slightly. Zhang Chengde's 4th Cavalry Division was mainly responsible for annihilating the Black Lama troops and then switching to logistics mode to prepare supplies and survey routes for the 2nd Infantry Division to enter Xinjiang.

    Therefore, Zhang Chengde arranged a cavalry regiment and two mortar companies as the main force to suppress bandits, plus an infantry battalion of local garrison, and the rest of the army was preparing to enter Xinjiang.  In his opinion, it would be shameful if so many troops could not defeat or even annihilate the Mazong Mountain bandit army.

    Indeed, combined with Dong Yanping's and Zhang Zongchang's troops, the People's Army and the White Russian Army dispatched more than 4,000 people, plus two mortar companies and a heavy machine gun company, which has formed an overwhelming advantage over the Black Lama troops, whether it is  In terms of numbers, firepower or mobility.  In order to better pool resources, the three parties established the Mazhong Mountain Bandit Suppression Headquarters, with Zhang Chengde as the commander-in-chief.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off Mazong Mountain, the people are not aware of this, they are still imagining relying on danger to defend.  Some people, like the guest Wen Ganlun, wanted to leave, but were unable to make the final decision because they were not familiar with the place.

    Zhang Chengde knew Zhang Hanqing¡¯s strategic plan. The entry into Xinjiang was just an episode on the way forward for the People¡¯s Army, so why would he waste his energy and time on the Black Lama?  With so many people at his disposal, he was determined to make a quick decision and get down to business.  As soon as they met, they made a decisive battle plan and attacked the enemy early the next morning.

    After a night of silence, the besieged Black Lama and other bandits did not dare to continue any plans to harass due to the lack of external news.  In the face of absolute superiority, Dong Yanping's troops, the first batch to enter the mountain, slept soundly for the first time.

    A mortar company of the People's Army has 3 platoons and 9 squads, equipped with a total of 9 60mm mortars.  There were two such mortar companies entering the Gobi this time. In the early morning, 18 guns were deployed in a row, giving the infantry officers and soldiers responsible for the attack full of confidence.

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Following the order, bursts of light smoke rose from the valley, and then artillery shells flew out from the heads of the bandit-suppressing officers and soldiers and headed towards the opposite position.  In this kind of mountainous area, direct fire on targets behind the mountain has little effect, unless it is a howitzer with parabolic trajectory, which the People's Army has not yet equipped.  Only this kind of mortar with direct fire is very effective.

    18 mortars | 15 landed in the fortifications in front of the village gate.  Following a violent explosion, the bandits who were defending themselves never dreamed that they would be hit by artillery shells deep in the mountains.  Although their power is far inferior to that of cannons in the usual sense, the power of steel gunpowder cannot be resisted by the physical body.

    It killed more than 20 people on the spot and injured a lot of people.  This was not over yet. The artillery that had adjusted the coordinates fired a second round as ordered. During the gap between explosions, the infantry responsible for attacking the enemy had already rushed out.  The wailing bandit army had no one to organize defense at all. They subconsciously folded their heads and fell to the ground when they heard the roaring mortars | shells.

    The resistance is basically very small, so the casualties are also very small.  Almost in the blink of an eye, this passage, which Dong Yanping's infantry initially regarded as a road to death, was opened. The People's Army's position moved forward hundreds of meters and was already close to the bunker group.

    The continuous explosions shocked the Black Lama and others who were still sleeping soundly.  When he learned that the People's Army had used mortars to attack the fortifications he relied on to boast, the Black Lama felt a strong sense of crisis.

    Where did the Chinese army get its mortars?  After fighting for ten days, the People's Army had machine guns. From Wen Ganlun and others, it was known that the White Russian Army that was later reinforced only had the advantage of cavalry.  But suddenly, so many mortars were put into battle. Could it be that the Chinese army had reinforcements?

    In the past, I was confident because machine guns could not break his fortifications. I didn¡¯t expect that the People¡¯s Army would mobilize mortars so quickly. This battle will be difficult to fight!

    Wen Ganlun and Zulexin both looked at each other in confusion. A substandard White Russian Army had beaten them to pieces. Now that the legendary and more powerful People's Army has arrived, what should they choose next?

    Wen Ganlun regretted a little. He should have left decisively when the White Russian Army arrived. Maybe he could still retain some strength there. But now that he didn't know what was true outside, he didn't dare to leave.  I just don¡¯t know how the Black Lama made his decision after hearing the news!

    ??Everyone turned their attention to the Black Lama, and some people were still lucky in their hearts, hoping that this legendary hero in the Gobi Desert could lead them to turn danger into disaster.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?
