Chapter 214 Raid on Cullen (8)

The next day, Ouyang Longxing received news that Chen Jingang captured Kulun and captured Zhebuzundanba VIII, and the raid troops also achieved a complete victory. The victory of these two battles also completely established the victory of the People's Army in this battle against Mongolia.

At the same time, the command center also ordered Ouyang Longxing to arrange an army immediately and rush to Kulun to reinforce Chen Jingang as soon as possible. After all, although Chen Jingang's troops are extremely combat-effective, Bi Mian's number is too small, and they are very dependent on logistics, making it difficult to fight for a long time. However, the surrounding area of ​​Kulun is not stable now, so they urgently need to support and consolidate the victory.

After receiving the order, Ouyang Longxing certainly did not dare to neglect, so he immediately dispatched a cavalry to Kulun to reinforce. Moreover, since the People's Army seized more than 10,000 war horses in this battle, each of the soldiers who supported Kulun could be equipped with 3 war horses for mid-way transfers and materials for the running army to ensure that the cavalry regiment could arrive at Kulun in the shortest time.

After the reinforcements were sent, Ouyang Longxing also started to deal with the post-war handling work. The first thing was to identify the prisoners. After two days of detailed interrogation, in addition to finding Damdin and Babuzabu from the prisoners, nearly a hundred Mongolian nobles were found, including many powerful families, and more than 10 direct descendants of the powerful people, while the rest were basically ordinary herders or slaves from the powerful people's families.

For the captured enemy, whether it is Qing soldiers or foreign soldiers, the People's Army will not let go easily. If there is no redemption fee in the end, it must serve a certain number of years in East China. Simply put, it is necessary to be a free labor force for several years before it can be free.

At the beginning, some people had objections to this way of handling, believing that foreign soldiers were fine, but most of the Qing soldiers were from poor families and were forced to make a living when they were in the army. Moreover, they were all Chinese. There was no need to narrow the final surplus value like they did for foreign soldiers. It would be better to release all these prisoners after education. On the one hand, they could promote the name of benevolence and righteousness of East China; on the other hand, these people went back to promote that the Qing army would not do its best when fighting with the People's Army. And also exemplified that in the old time and space, the ancestors of the elders often adopted this model of handling prisoners, and the result was often achieved very good results.

However, after discussion, the Executive Yuan rejected this proposal because the situations of the two eras are different. The elders were in an era of warlord separatist war. In order to expand their military scale, all warlords basically adopted the model of catching men. Therefore, ordinary soldiers of warlords did not join the army for a long time, and it was easier to change their thoughts through simple education. Although China is still full of dangers, it is still under a rule of the country. The country's system is relatively stable and the army is relatively fixed. There are very few cases of catching men and exile in the army. Although most ordinary soldiers are from poor families, due to their long-term service, they are somewhat infected with the habits of veterans. It is not something that can be changed by a few simple education.

Moreover, it is not easy for the People's Army to capture these prisoners. It not only consumes the resources of the East China National University, but also pays a certain price for casualties. Therefore, it is so easy to let go. On its own side, the People's Army cannot explain it. In addition, it also shows the authority of the East China National University University to the prisoners. It can only be treated slightly better than the prisoners of foreign soldiers. The time for serving prisoners will be shorter, usually 3-5 years, and the work intensity is slightly lower.

At the same time, East China ** will also arrange some courses and education for them. In addition to political brainwashing, there are also literacy, basic arithmetic, and some craft skills. After the prison term expires, a service fee will be paid. Although the amount is not too much, it is enough to let them go home. If their hometown is not too far away, they can save 1 or 2 months of living expenses. Moreover, during the prison term, they can learn literacy, arithmetic, and some craft skills, and develop some good habits. Therefore, after returning to their hometown, they can basically support themselves and live at least a living with food and clothing. Of course, those who are willing to stay in East China ** can also arrange work and residence for them.

This model of handling prisoners has been in operation for 5 or 6 years in East China and has achieved good results. In the previous battle of Jinzhou, the captured Mongolian soldiers also adopted this model. Now the group of prisoners are still serving prisoners in Jinzhou, which also contributes to the development and construction of Jinzhou.

In this war, more than 12,000 prisoners were captured, which was a huge number of laborers. The People's Army chose to garrison in the Dalinol Lake area. On the one hand, it was against the Mongolian army, and on the other hand, it also built the first stronghold fortress from Chifeng to Kulun here. Now the fortress has already been in its initial scale. However, since there are so many prisoners, of course it cannot be abandoned. Such a good and free labor force is not needed at this time, and when will it be? Therefore, Ouyang Longxing ordered the captive formation to be disbanded and the powerful and noble Jidi were also organized into the labor force to participate in the construction of fortresses and roads.

But on the first day of serving the prisoners, the powerful and powerful children seemed very reluctant. Although they were all arrested, they were not worried because they were waiting for their families to pay for redeem. They just thought that they could recover their freedom if they could not bear it for a few days. Bi Jin has been such a rule for hundreds of years, but they never thought that the People's Army would send them to work as hard labor and work with the underestimated people in their eyes. Therefore, many powerful and powerful children took various disagreements, some were passive and slackened, some were complaining, some were instructing other prisoners to do things for themselves while working, and some even incited the prisoners to make trouble.

However, the People's Army has never been ruthless against such uncooperative prisoners, and will not exchange these powerful and noble children for redemption fees. On the contrary, their families are the targets that East China should eliminate. Now they are taking a few typical operations and shot two people who incited the prisoners to cause trouble on the spot. More than 10 other people who passively slacked off and complained. The powerful and noble children immediately became honest and knew that the People's Army did not follow these rules, so they could only work and work honestly, and did not dare to slack off any more.

With the joining of this group of prisoners, the progress of the project was greatly accelerated. Not only were there enough manpower to build the fortress, but half of the people could also be drawn to build the road, and neither project was missed.

Ten days later, a convoy of 120 trucks arrived at the camp and brought a large amount of ammunition, oil, parts and other supplies. 50 of them were brought to the camp here, and 70 were prepared to be delivered to Kulun. And now the matter here has been handled well, so Ouyang Longxing also decided to go to Kulun himself this time. After all, the primary goal of launching the Mongolian War was Kulun, and Ouyang Longxing was also the highest commander on the front line. Whether it was reasonable or reasonable, Ouyang Longxing should also go to Kulun. At the same time, this time when going to Kulun, Ouyang Longxing would also inspect other locations and locations of the fortresses that were built along the way.

Of course, Ouyang Longxing would not bring these dozens of trucks to Kulun this time, but also brought a regiment and an armored motor company. Since there were 50 vacant trucks, all the soldiers brought out this time were heading in trucks. The rest of the troops remained in place to supervise the construction of fortresses and roads.

After Ouyang Longxing set out with the convoy, he arrived safely along the way, so he did not deliberately speed up his journey. Seven days later, the convoy arrived near Kulun and encountered the outposts arranged by the People's Army. He was very cautious and seemed to be facing a great enemy.

Ouyang Longxing was also a little surprised. After asking, he found out that there was an enemy coming. Haishan, one of the five main generals of the Mongolian army stationed in the Dalinor Lake area, escaped because he turned back to Kulun. However, before he arrived at Kulun, he received the news that Kulun had lost. Haishan was shocked. Unexpectedly, Kulun lost like this, so he hurried back and wanted to return to Dalinor Lake area to invite reinforcements and seize Kulun. After two days of traveling back, he encountered the deserters who fled back from the Mongolian army. Haishan realized that the Mongolian army was also defeated by the People's Army.

Haishan was also a little confused now. What should we do now? After thinking about it for a night, Haishan finally figured out that at this time, he could only go everywhere to invite reinforcements. Before the People's Army's army entered Kulun, he would first seize Kulun and then find a way to resist the People's Army.

So Haishan immediately set off to Taicheng, Ussuri, where not only was the Qing army garrison, but also the Russian consulate, and a Russian army of about 200 people was stationed. If the Qing army and the Russian army were willing to help themselves, there would be great hope of recapturing Kulun.

After arriving in Taicheng of Ussuri, Haishan first met with General Kunxiu of Ussuri and showed him the interests. In fact, the relationship between Kulun and the Qing court has been very tense in recent years, and Kunxiu and Haishan also dislike each other. However, after all, Kulun was occupied by the People's Army in the Mongolian area. Kunxiu was responsible for losing territory and misleading his duties. Therefore, Kunxiu could only make up for the merits if he recovered Kulun, and at this time he could only send troops to help Haishan regain Kulun.

After convinced General Ussuritai, Haishan rushed to the Russian consulate for help. However, before that, Russia had a clear order to require Russian troops from all over Mongolia to not participate in the battle between Mongolia and East China, so the consulate could only help Haishan. However, the military officer in the consulate was Haishan's old friend, Russian Army Colonel Popov. He was determined to help Haishan, so he continuously generated electricity to Russia, demanding domestic agreement to help Haishan, and recapture Kulun. Three days later, the domestic responded to Popov's suggestion and ordered the Russian army to be commanded by Popov.
