Chapter 362: Don’t think about going back once you come
"what?"
Tang Guoping received the news while the car was still on the road. He originally thought that all civil servants in Chahar were no longer in their posts, but he didn't expect that there was still someone at a border station continuing to work.
"Sir, we just took over the telecommunications room in the border defense building and it's still working. They just received this telegram, and we came here immediately to report. This is Wang Luda from the telecommunications room."
The reporting soldier pulled a man in a gray cloth military uniform from behind. Even though they worked in the Ulanqab office, the uniforms on these people were not very good-looking. After the Japanese came, they disbanded the original army and established the so-called border defense army, which was simply a traitor army.
"Are there any troops at the border station besides the checkpoints?"
Tang Guoping found the place called Dalai on the map, and it was indeed not far from the border.
"Reporting to the commander, it's all grasslands over there. We don't have any troops stationed there. We originally had a cavalry company, but it was later transferred to Erlianhot. Apart from a few veterans in the outpost, there are no other people. We originally thought that there was no work here, but who knew there were still people..."
Wang Luda said with some fear that it was the first time he had seen such a majestic army. He didn't want to get involved in this matter. Yesterday he was repairing the machine, but today he became a telegraph operator, mainly because all the original people had run away.
This telegram was received a few hours ago. He spent a lot of effort to decipher it. After all, he had only learned it for two days. The final decipherment was a mess. It was only after the brothers of the 72nd Division went in that they were able to decipher it.
"Contact the border outposts immediately and inquire about their situation. Report our situation to the higher authorities and request an aircraft reconnaissance mission. Also, your Second Regiment will immediately organize a reconnaissance team to the border area. Quickly."
Tang Guoping thought for a while and said, the Outer Xiongnu cavalry crossed the border without permission and ran to the territory of Chahar. This is not a good thing. It should be a provocation from the Russians. Chahar was not in our hands before, and we could not be blamed if something happened. Now the whole country knows that the 72nd Division has entered Chahar. Even if there is a Outer Xiongnu cavalry on this land, it is a slap in the face of our brothers.
According to our commander, I'm going to be around here for the rest of my life. If you guys are so disrespectful, I'll have to beat the shit out of you. Otherwise, where will I put my face? In my crotch?
Shen Ming immediately went down to prepare. This was an emergency, and he had to select the best soldiers and generals under his command.
This place is nearly 500 kilometers away from the border. If you want to get there quickly, it will take a lot of effort. There are not many roads to walk on in Chahar. Fortunately, it is not winter now. If it is winter and the grassland is covered with heavy snow, it will be even more difficult.
In the past, we hoped to have cars and armored vehicles. Now we have all these things, but because of the roads, all commanders have a headache every time we arrive at a new place.

"These old Russians came really fast. I thought we were already very fast, but I didn't expect them to be prepared. I really underestimated them."
Tang Guoping passed the information over immediately, and Li Shaoyi had already ordered Li Qiankun's plane to go for reconnaissance. I believe that within half an hour, there should be information coming back from there.
"I guess the Luocha people didn't react that quickly. It's probably because we arrived in Ulanqab and they have spies there, so they reported the news back to their country. Although their troops are stationed in Outer Xiongnu, they are far away from our border. They must have used the Outer Xiongnu troops to give us a warning first."
The chief of staff opened the map next to him. Luosha had stationed a total of two infantry divisions in Outer Xiongnu, mainly to help the princes of Outer Xiongnu stabilize the local area. After all, there were many people within the country who opposed their independence.
After the Russians carried out several major purges, the voices opposing independence on the grasslands became smaller and smaller, and now there is basically no overt opposition.
But the Russian army would never come to the border, and the foreign Xiongnu cavalry had never crossed the border. This could be regarded as a test for the 72nd Division.
"No matter what, hold a press conference immediately and tell them that Chahar is the base of our 72nd Division. Without the permission of the 72nd Division, no troops can enter the area to check the number. Now that the Outer Xiongnu troops have crossed the border, they cannot be allowed to return."
Li Shaoyi's words made everyone in the room stop what they were doing. According to their previous thinking, they should give a warning and ask the foreign Xiongnu army to withdraw immediately. If they withdraw, our struggle will be considered a victory.
But now Li Shaoyi actually wants to keep these more than a thousand cavalrymen. It is not an easy task to keep the cavalrymen on the vast grassland.
"They have lived on horseback since they were young, and we are still too far from the border, so it is not realistic to keep them here."
Chief of Staff Cui could understand what Li Shaoyi was thinking. The 72nd Division had already made a big statement. If these people were not left behind, then anyone in your defense zone would be able to come and go as they pleased. Leaving them behind would also be announcing to the world that I have the final say here.
"We don't need to fight a conventional war with them. I don't believe the Rakshasa planes can protect them all the time. Notify Li Qiankun's planes that the fighter jets can take off now. Attack them hard."
After hearing Li Shaoyi's words, the others understood what was going on. However, at such a long distance, even if Li Qiankun's plane arrived, it would only have a dozen minutes of combat time at most.
But even so, the people under him quickly gave orders. At this time, they could not care less. Even if the battle lasted only a dozen minutes, when you discovered these cavalrymen, you could cause them considerable casualties.

With one order from Li Shaoyi, thousands of people here were busy running around. A large number of soldiers removed the bombs from the planes and then added as much fuel as possible. The main method of attack was the machine guns on the planes.
When attacking cavalry, because they are relatively scattered, bombs may not be very effective, and machine gun fire is the best way to kill them.
Thirty-two fighter jets are ready here, ready to fly to the Chahar border and annihilate the invading enemy...
