The Black Mountain Corps defeated Ma Quanyou's most elite 1st Cavalry Brigade and won a great victory in Blackfire County.
Most of the cavalry brigade was wiped out, more than a thousand people were captured, and a small number fled.
Ma Lieri and more than a dozen senior officers died in the battle.
When the news reached Songshan City, it was said that Ma Quanyou was so grieved that he became so violent that he shot and killed the guard next to him. There were rumors that Ma Lieri was actually his illegitimate son.
Montenegro was delighted. The Montenegro Corps participating in the battle were the 2nd and 3rd Rapid Battalion of the Dianqian Air Service Regiment, the 1st Sequence Combat Group Assembly of the Black Bird Troops, and the Tangyang Guard Brigade and the 104th Brigade, all of which received commendations.
…
The two-story building behind the Lijiaying watchtower can now be regarded as the headquarters of the Anshan Front of the Black Mountain Corps.
Lu Ming was currently in the military intelligence conference room on the first floor looking at the Songshan Road map on the table.
There is not even an inch of railway on Songshan Road.
In fact, in the entire Anshan Province, there is only one main railway line, from Shengjing to the provincial capital of Anshan, and then south to the southwestern region of the empire.
In the past few days, good news has continued. An Benhe led the 105th Brigade out of the mountains and successfully recovered the Xiyun area, because Ma Quanyou's troops had completely shrunk.
But the best news is that the exploration team has finally determined that there is a large amount of oil and gas underground in Blackfire County, but whether it can be exploited under current technical conditions and whether it is worthwhile requires further investigation.
But no matter what, building a branch line from the main railway line from Shengjing to Anshan to Heihuo County should be put on the agenda.
There was a knock on the conference room door, and Chang Lei hurried in, "Your Highness, an urgent message from Songshan City."
Lu Ming picked it up and looked at it, and immediately frowned. The message said that Ma Quanyou's troops were evacuating Songshan City. However, they had destroyed almost all the important facilities in Songshan City, including the few factories in Songshan, and even lit up the raging fire.
The fire affected many houses.
People from the Military Intelligence Section are already organizing manpower for disaster relief.
"Send a report to Qi Huaide. All losses to Songshan City and even Songshan Road, including human lives and economic losses, must be compensated by the Ma Quanyou gang of Sanyuan Road. Qi Huaide is the governor of Northern Xinjiang and Sanyuan Road is within his jurisdiction, so he has no shirk of responsibility!"
While Lu Ming was speaking, the confidential secretary next to him took a pen to make urgent notes.
When he had just declared war on Ma Quanyou, he received a condemnation message from the Northern Xinjiang Province in the name of Qi Huaide.
But it has been much quieter these days. After all, Ma Quanyou broke his arm in just over ten days. Now that Ma Quanyou's troops have completely withdrawn from Songshan Road, the risk of an all-out war with Northern Xinjiang has been greatly reduced.
But the crimes committed by Ma Quanyou cannot be dismissed.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming waved his hand, "There's no need to polish it, just send it as I said it!"
The confidential secretary left as ordered.
The phone on the desk suddenly rang rapidly. Lu Ming picked it up. He had reasons to listen to the call to this room.
After hearing a few words from the person inside, Lu Ming's face darkened.
But it was Masayoshi Kawamoto, the Japanese minister in Shengjing and the chief director of the Shengjing public board of directors, who was holding a press conference.
It was announced that the five roads of "Jindong", "Jinxi", "Bangzhou", "Wangcheng" and "Dongri", which were originally Anshan, were purchased by the Kingdom of Japan from An Mingyuan, the successor of Anxi's governor An Laoxi.
, at the same time, we have also reached an agreement with several brigade commanders in northern Xinjiang who are currently maintaining peace in these five roads. From the 1st of next month, Japan will officially take over these five roads and unify them into the overseas territories of the Kingdom of Japan, named "New Sun".
"collar.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming paced.
An Mingyuan was the eldest son of An Laoxi, and he was hostile to An Laoxi's widow Miao Baifeng, who he supported, and fled to the northwest.
Selling these five roads was a favor to An Mingyuan, and he was afraid that the Japanese would give them away after promising some benefits.
Alaska is a cabbage price, and this cabbage price is out of the question.
On the other hand, the brigade commander who originally sent troops from Northern Xinjiang to occupy these five roads will definitely gain a lot of benefits.
Moreover, "Wangcheng" and "Dongri" were captured by Ma Quanyou's troops. It seemed that they were approaching the Japanese very quickly.
Qi Huaide should acquiesce. Introducing Japanese people in Anshan can also compete with the Black Mountain and Longbei coalition forces.
Lu Ming turned his head and looked at the map of Anshan's entire territory hanging on the wall. If he acquiesced to the current situation.
Then it will become that of the fourteen roads in the southeast of Anshan, half of them are occupied by itself and Longbei, each with seven roads.
If you add Songshan Road, it will be eight roads.
In the northeast, the Japanese occupied five roads and the Northern Xinjiang occupied six roads.
Anshan Province is extremely vast, with a total of thirty-nine roads.
Nowadays, there are twenty-six roads divided by the four directions, and only thirteen roads are left. There are four roads in the cracks among the divided roads, which are all barren and barren lands, and there are three roads around Anshan City, and
The Sixth Avenue of the Great Northwest.
Just as he was thinking about it, the phone rang again. It was Wang Ding, the first deputy commissioner of the Southeast Pacific Office. He said that Masayoshi Kawamoto was calling him and wanted to coordinate and communicate with Commissioner Zhang and Beijiang, Longbei, and Anshan.
Sign a cooperation agreement to end the chaos in Ansan.
Lu Ming pondered for a while, "I won't come forward. You can go and talk, but there is a prerequisite. If the problem of Ma Quanyou gang cannot be solved, we in Montenegro do not think that there is a basis for the parties to reach an agreement. In addition, we
We do not recognize the puppet regime of An Mingyuan. Therefore, An Mingyuan's sale of any land in Anshan is illegal and invalid. Therefore, we will not recognize the Wudao of Shanxi as Dongying territory. On the contrary, it belongs to Anshan Province.
, is an integral part of Anshan Province." He paused and then said: "Contact Chairman Miao Baifeng and ask her to condemn An Mingyuan's despicable act of selling the land of his ancestors."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming looked at Hong Ying and Chang Lei, "You are still stationed here, I will go to Songshan to have a look."
The Guard Company and the Red Wing Guards can be said to be extremely advanced mobile forces, but if they leave too far from the mainland and railway lines, it will be difficult to replenish fuel, which in turn weakens these two forces that are armed to the teeth.
What's more, there is an exploration team here, so it's not a bad transfer point.
Red Eagle whispered: "Yes!"
Chang Lei, however, didn't know Lu Ming's biggest secret and couldn't help but look embarrassed.
But he knew that Hong Ying was closer to His Highness. Seeing her answer, he thought that there were other arrangements for His Highness's safety. After hesitating for a moment, he stood at attention and said, "Yes!"
Lu Ming smiled: "Bring Ma Zhenbang here!"
Red Eagle turned around and left. Not long after, he led a burly man in. This man looked like a prairie tribe, and he had a weird hair shape. He had a money rattail. After he came in, he knelt down on one knee in front of Lu Ming and was full of emotions.
With a pious face, "Chinu'er has met his master!"
Lu Ming looked at him and smiled: "Get up! How is your injury?"
This burly man Ma Zhenbang is actually the commander of Ma Lieri's wolf cavalry, and his real name is Ma Chinuer.
Lu Ming felt that the name was too discriminatory, so he changed his name to Ma Zhenbang.
The wolf cavalry actually all come from the same tribe and belong to the grassland slave tribe, which means that all people in the tribe are slaves of Ma Quanyou.
Ma Quanyou selected those with strong foundations from slave children and conducted cruel training and brainwashing since childhood.
The Wolf Cavalry has always maintained a strength of 500 people and has always been under the command of the First Brigade. Every year, those over thirty-five are eliminated and new ones are added.
That day, the Wolf Cavalry was ordered to attack Li's Camp, but fell into an ambush, and the engineers dug various trenches. The gap they came from was blocked by several armored vehicles, and they were all surrounded.
Another loudspeaker shouted that Ma Lieri had been captured and killed. However, Ma Chinuer led all the troops in a suicide attack. No one in his unit escaped. They gathered together and charged again.
Of the five hundred wolf riders, more than three hundred were killed, and the rest were captured, and those captured were more or less wounded.
Ma Chinuer was very lucky and was knocked unconscious by the blast of the bomb.
Lu Ming originally wanted to shoot them all, after all, they were a group of mindless killing machines.
But when he talked to Liuli about this in Heishan, Liuli knew the customs of this tribe and came up with an idea.
As a result, Machinu'er met the envoy from the imperial capital. In addition, there was a contract written by His Royal Highness the Prince of Black Mountain Castle to collect these prisoners of war into his own slaves.
As expected, Ma Chinuer immediately bit off his thumb, put his fingerprints on the contract, knelt down and swore allegiance to His Highness the Prince of Black Mountain Castle with the most solemn oath in the grassland.
Obviously they were not killed in battle but were defeated and captured, which was God's will. At the same time, the original owner had no intention of redeeming them but abandoned them. They no longer belonged to the original owner and became slaves of the victor.
They all felt it was a great honor to be taken into slavery by a prince whose status was higher than the original master's.
This has been the tradition of Nubu since ancient times, but since Ma Quanyou's grandfather unified the grassland more than fifty years ago, Nubu has never changed hands again.
With the order of His Highness the Prince, Ma Chinuer and others followed and served Commissioner Zhang from then on. Commissioner Zhang became the incarnation of His Highness the Prince.
Ma Chinuer followed the instructions to the letter and recognized Commissioner Zhang as his second master.
Just like they were Ma Quanyou's slaves back then, but the Wolf Cavalry was serving Ma Lieri.
At this moment, looking at Ma Chinu'er who was kneeling in front of him and not getting up, Lu Ming sighed inwardly.
More than three hundred of their comrades died in the battle. To Ma Chinuer and the others, there was no hatred at all. In the blink of an eye, they could go through fire and water for their new master.
But their tribal traditions are like this, and the values they have formed since childhood are like this, and there is nothing they can do about it.
However, in fact, among the captured wolf cavalry, excluding those who were seriously injured and possibly disabled, the number that could eventually be organized into our own cavalry guard was only sixty or seventy, which happened to be short and capable. This time we went to the Songshan Road border area to assess the enemy's situation.
