Chapter 1722 China's North Sea

The situation in Yakutsk is becoming more and more tense, and the National Defense Forces are sharpening their knives and are ready to strike at any time.

But the place where the real battle started was on the shores of Lake Baikal.

Unlike the north of the Outer Xing'an Mountains, Lake Baikal is not far to the north of Khalkha Mongolia.

When the National Defense Forces took over Mobei, they would naturally set their sights on Buryat Mongolia.

When the Second Cavalry Division attacked westward and swept Uliasutai, the rest of the troops, in addition to maintaining the stability of Mobei, also embarked on the road to the north.

The one who walks in the front is naturally the first cavalry division.

In this kind of conquest, it is clear that cavalry has a huge advantage over infantry.

But Bai Xiaoqi wasn't too worried.

In addition to some sporadic Mongolian tribes in Siberia, there are only a small group of Russian expeditions, which are completely out of scale.

When you meet the first cavalry division, you are no match at all.

After taking the order, the First Cavalry Division moved forward very quickly.Except for the construction of many supply stations along the way to facilitate the subsequent transportation of materials, they have hardly stopped.

The [-]st Cavalry Division splits up in Kyakhta.

Wang Yan personally led the [-]st Light Cavalry Regiment and Dragoon Regiment to the Eastern Front and explored along the Selenga River.

Military and political Liang Xiongwen and deputy division commander Bi Zhongcheng led the Second Light Cavalry Regiment, Heavy Cavalry Regiment and Engineering Regiment to the west front, and under the care of the Second Cavalry Division, they swept the Bayan Gol and Dongka areas.

Along the way, for nearly a month, the First Cavalry Division did not encounter any large-scale battles.

Many Buryat Mongol tribes could only choose to surrender when they saw the elite cavalry swarming in.

resistance?

Then there is only the end of being completely wiped out.

Only some tribes who are stubborn and entangled with Khalkha Mongols have become cannon fodder for the First Cavalry Division.

The first cavalry division treated all the Mongolian tribes who put down their weapons kindly, and traded their abundant supplies in exchange for food such as cattle and sheep.

The Buryats were shocked to learn that the Kalkor Mongols had been wiped out, but they also accepted the reality.

When Khalkha Mongolia was there, their situation was not very good.

Sometimes in order to supplement the source of soldiers, Khalkha Mongols would also attack them and capture their population as slaves.

In comparison, the Wehrmacht and the officials who came later were much kinder.

Although these tribes will be forced to change the system, after all, the overall life has improved a lot, and the Buryats have slowly accepted it.

Through the mouth of the Buryats, Wang Yan heard the news of the Russians for the first time.

In this area of ​​Lake Baikal, the Russians have only recently arrived.

After Nijinsky was sent to Mobei, the Russians grasped the situation in this area for the first time.

Just two years ago, Russian expeditions began to go deep here, and the city of Barguzin was being built.

However, the Russians' center of gravity was not here at this time, so the construction of the city was very slow.

The Buryats resisted repeatedly, but the difference in force was too great, and they all failed.

They asked the Khalkha Mongols for help, but the Khalkha Mongols, desperate for Russian firearms, betrayed them short-sightedly.

Led by a Buryat guide, the [-]st Cavalry Division came to the south bank of Lake Baikal.

Standing on the shore, Wang Yan was completely shocked when he looked at the huge lake that was as blue as a mirror, vast in mist, and boundless in front of him.

"No wonder the ancients called it the North Sea. It's really unexpected that there is such a big lake in this extreme north."

Chief of Staff Xue Junjie had jumped off the horse, squatted by the lake and carefully poured a handful of water into his mouth.

Although the Wehrmacht stipulates that eating raw water is strictly prohibited, he did this to test the water quality, which is slightly different.

When the clear and impurity-free water entered his mouth, his mouth was filled with fluid immediately, and it was so clear and refreshing that Xue Junjie couldn't help shivering.

"Master, this is actually a freshwater lake, an important source of water."

Hearing that it was a freshwater lake, Wang Yan also became happy.

When the territory is opened up, being able to find water sources means being able to gain a foothold.

The Lake Baikal in front of us is so vast, not to mention meeting the needs of the army, even if a city is built, it can bear it.

"Move on with all your troops and drive the Russians out."

Wang Yan immediately made a decision.

Such a good feng shui treasure, how can you allow others to get their hands on it?
Although His Majesty has never said where the boundaries of the empire are, then let's keep fighting.

No one dislikes their own territory, right?

The commander is like this, and the soldiers are even more fearless.

The [-]st Cavalry Division was advancing very fast, heading north along the east coast of Lake Baikal, and soon encountered the Russians at a place called Maximikha.

When we met for the first time, the Russians had a very bad impression on the First Cavalry Division.

Because these Russians are killing and looting.

On the flat grassland, helpless Buryats are running for their lives, most of them are old and weak women and children.

Qing Zhuang had obviously died in the resistance.

Behind them, the Russian cavalry swaggered and seemed to enjoy the thrill of catching their prey.

A Cossack cavalry shouted suddenly, and suddenly galloped up to him.The rope in his hand wobbled twice and flew out, and it was precisely wrapped around a woman's waist.

Before the woman could struggle, the rope loop tightened immediately, dragging the woman to the ground.

The woman became a trophy.

The Cossack cavalryman laughed wildly and tugged on the rope, intending to take the woman back to enjoy it.

The woman was very desperate, but she couldn't break free with all her strength.

Her two children howled and wanted to help, but they followed their mother closer and closer to the Cossack cavalry.

For young creatures, the Cossack cavalry has no mercy.

He jerked the reins sharply, trying to make the horse raise its front hooves.When it falls, there will inevitably be two puddles of meat mud on the ground.

boom……

The sudden gunshots shattered the dream of the invaders, and also sounded the horn of attack.

A blood hole suddenly appeared on the forehead of the Cossack cavalryman, the strength in his body quickly dissipated, and he staggered off the horse.

The woman was finally safe, she hurriedly broke free from the rope, and then held the two children tightly in her arms.

The rest of the Cossack cavalry didn't react for a moment and didn't know what happened.

It stands to reason that in this kind of place, they should be the only ones who can use muskets.But the sound of the musket was obviously different from theirs.

No need for them to guess.

Behind the slope, the earth suddenly shook.

Then a red flag illuminated the earth like the sun, bringing light to the miserable people.

Looking at the Wehrmacht cavalry rushing towards them like a tide, the Cossacks finally realized the danger.

They no longer cared about the loot in front of them, and rushed to gallop on horseback.

Meet the enemy?

Do not make jokes.

They only have more than 100 people, and when they encounter tens of thousands of cavalry, it is tantamount to blocking a car with a mantis arm.

But even if they wanted to escape at this time, it was too late.

Wang Yan has already set up a net to encircle this place.

The Russians are doomed to pay in blood for their evil deeds.
