Chapter 547: Eagle on the Grassland
Chapter 547: Eagle on the Grassland
Gandunzhu is the largest force in the Four Princes Banner and can compete with Yishun'e's pseudo Fifth Division.
The herdsmen under Gandunzhu's control are all brave and good at fighting, and they are also very good at riding and shooting. As long as they are equipped with standard weapons, they will be a solid military force.
Moreover, the number of people reached a huge number of more than 3,000, which was 1,000 more than the Fifth Division under Yishun'e.
Therefore, Gandunzhu was also the focus of the puppet Mongolian army and the Japanese devils.
However, Gan Dunzhu was afraid of being incorporated into the puppet Mongolian army and losing his status as a local emperor. He was restrained by the Japanese devils, so he never agreed and remained ambiguous.
However, this so-called Master Sang Jue was not a lobbyist for the Japanese devils, but came from the north.
"Master Sang Jue, although the Chinese Independent Column is coming aggressively, they have not attacked us yet. Moreover, as long as we don't fight them, I'm afraid we won't be in danger of losing our lives.
However, if Gan Dunzhu and his people announce their cooperation with you Mongols, will we be accused of rebellion?"
Master Sang Jue stood up, turned around, and swung his wide red sleeves, making a rustling sound.
"Master Gan Dunzhu, just because the Independent Column didn't attack you now doesn't mean they won't attack you in the future!
Do you think that wherever the independent column went, those landlords had a good end? Although they were called the independent column, their style was the same as that of the Eighth Route Army.
If you are lucky, you will lose everything and return to your shabby yurt to live a hard life.
If you are unlucky, you may only be able to feed the eagles on the grassland!
I know that Yishun'e has contacted you recently on behalf of the Japanese, hoping to recruit you. But the Japanese are too busy to care about Mongolia now, so it would be unwise for you to join them now!"
Gan Dunzhu was excited. After all, Hohhot, Ulanqab and the distant Baotou had been occupied by the independent column.
There aren't many opportunities in front of him!
"Okay, but you have to guarantee to give me weapons and training, otherwise our herdsmen will be like sheep to be slaughtered in front of the independent column and the Japanese devils!"
"Great! Master Gan Dunzhu! Don't worry, you are not the only one who has accepted our invitation. All the masters in Inner Mongolia will join us.
By then, both Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia will belong to our Mongolia!
The weapons and instructors from Country E are already on their way and will arrive at the Four Princes Flag in the evening."
Master Sang Jue had planned this in advance, so not long after he appeared, the weapons and equipment and instructors from Country E were transported to them.
Sure enough, at nightfall, dozens of horse-drawn carriages arrived at the sparsely populated Siwangzi Banner.
Gan Dunzhu and Master Sangjue came out of the tent. A group of E countrymen wearing herdsmen's clothes and dozens of horse-drawn carriages stopped in front of the tent.
With the help of the bright moonlight, Gan Dunzhu saw that the leader of the E countrymen was a middle-aged man with a thick beard.
Master Sang Jue greeted him enthusiastically, grabbed the bearded man's hand and shook it.
"Commissioner Ivanovich, this is our partner, Master Gan Dunzhu!"
A trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of the political commissar of Country E named Ivanovich, but under the cover of darkness, no one noticed it.
"Hello, Master Gan Dunzhu, these are our gifts and military advisors. Our superiors have asked us to send a final ultimatum to Yishun'e the day after tomorrow morning!
Let them either join our independent army or die by our rifles and bayonets!"
Gandunzhu panicked and grabbed Master Sangjue's arm.
"Master Sang Jue, are we going to launch an attack so soon? Our herdsmen have not received a single day of training. Aren't we sending them to their deaths?"
Master Sang Jue raised his eyebrows slightly, then glanced at Commissioner Ivanovich secretly. Seeing that he looked unhappy, he immediately pulled Master Sang Jue aside.
"Master Gan Dunzhu, you are the eagles of the grassland, the descendants of Genghis Khan. As long as you ride on a war horse, you are the bravest warriors! Are you afraid now?
Moreover, Yishun'e's soldiers are a group of cowards without willpower. They dare not resist. Even if they are brave enough to go against us, we can use the most advanced weapons of Country E to send them to hell!"
After Master Sang Jue finished speaking, he walked to the side of the carriage, lifted the hay covering it, revealing bundles of rifles.
"Master Gan Dunzhu, this is the most advanced rifle. It is much better than Yishun'e's Type 38 rifle!"
Master Sangjue used the Mongolian knife he carried with him to loosen the straw rope and took out a Mosin-Nagant rifle.
The Mosin-Nagant M1891 is considered to be a veteran rifle of Country E.
It was developed as early as 1890 and officially finalized in 1891. In addition to being equipped by the army of Country E, it was also equipped in its surrounding areas. Because the sound of firing is very similar to the sound of water drops falling on the ground, the Mosin-Nagant is also called the "water-jet" rifle.
The Mosin-Nagant rifle fires 7.62x54mm R rifle ammunition, has a magazine capacity of 5 rounds, an effective range of 1000 meters, and a muzzle velocity of 820 meters per second.
The Mosin-Nagant has high accuracy and reliability. It has been equipped since 1891 and experienced the "Russian October Revolution" and the First World War. During World War II, although the E army had semi-automatic rifles such as SVT-38/40, the Mosin-Nagant M1891 rifle was still the main equipment of the E army soldiers and was used until the early 60s, when it was completely eliminated.
For Gan Dunzhu, who lacks weapons and ammunition, these guns and ammunition are the guarantee of his sphere of influence and are his amulet!
"Okay! Then let them see how powerful we are! We will immediately distribute weapons to each unit, gather here tomorrow night, and then issue an ultimatum to Yishun!"
"Hahaha, this is the eagle on the grassland!"
Ivanovich led his team, part of them entered a tent nearby, while the other part escorted the weapons to various tribes to deliver them to their hands.
Ivanovich winked at his two soldiers, and they stood outside the tent and began to stand guard.
Inside the tent, Ivanovich revealed his true face.
"Damn landlords! They should be hung on the tails of war horses and dragged to death on the ground!"
"Comrade Commissioner, if we all hate them so much, why do we still come to help them and win them over?"
“Humph, if the independent column hadn’t advanced too quickly and threatened the Mongolian people’s government, we wouldn’t have to work with these filthy garbage!
Just wait until we control Inner Mongolia and merge them into an independent country under our control, then we will come back and deal with these bastards!"
Ivanovich felt proud when he thought of the hundreds of thousands of Mongols he had killed in Outer Mongolia.
Only iron and blood can guarantee the purity of the country and the team!
