Chapter 489 Approaching Ulaanbaatar
"This is simply a nightmare. I can't let my soldiers continue to die. Retreat, retreat immediately!"
After seeing the situation, the commander of the Rakshasa Armored Regiment, Cardev, ignored the orders to fight to the death and immediately ordered his men to retreat at full speed. If they did not retreat, they might lose everything.
But when the few Rakshasa tanks were preparing to retreat, Tang Guoping's tanks slowly followed.
The result of the battle between the air forces of both sides in the sky came out. The Russian side lost 24 fighter jets, and our side lost 4 fighter jets. The remaining planes also began to rush into this final battle, determined to keep the Russian tank regiment here.
"The entire army retreats to Bayan."
Major General Mitrov, commander of the 2nd Infantry Division of the Russian Far East Military District, immediately issued an order to retreat. The most elite tank regiment was originally sent to set an example for everyone to see how to annihilate these southern Chinese troops. However, they were wiped out within an hour of entering the battlefield.
In this situation, Major General Mitrov was not stupid enough to make a stupid decision to charge with infantry and the enemy's armored forces. Therefore, seizing the opportunity to retreat at this time was the most correct decision he made.
After the army of Prince Bashan was defeated, facts developed in the direction Li Shaoyi had imagined. All the Xiongnu troops seemed to have their backbones broken. If it weren't for the Rakshasa army next to them watching them, these people would have retreated long ago.
After seeing the Rakshasa army turning back, the Xiongnu army fled much faster than their fighting power. The grassland itself was their home, and they had grown up on horseback since childhood. Moreover, the people who ran back from Prince Bashan told them a new piece of knowledge, which was that they should never gather in groups.
According to what those people said, the smaller the fleeing group, the less likely it is to attract the attention of the planes in the sky. If it is a flood of thousands of people, then there will probably be a pursuing force coming immediately. The planes in the sky will guide the jeeps and armored vehicles on the ground, and no matter where you run, they can find you.
So as soon as they turned their horses around, dozens of people formed a small team and started running towards the depths of the grassland.
This time the Rakshasa army retreated to Bayan, which was also the last line of defense south of the Xiongnu Kingdom's capital, Da Kulun. If they still couldn't hold it, they would probably rush here directly.
On the 500-mile-long battle line, as our armored regiment won, Tang Guoping immediately ordered his men to launch an all-out assault, no matter whether they were Russians or Xiongnu, to capture anyone alive. It was too far from here to the inland. According to our commander-in-chief's request, at least one railway and three to four roads had to be built, requiring at least hundreds of thousands of workers.
A pile of corpses is useless at this time. We must have a bunch of people who can work for us, so the brothers were much more relaxed and even added the procedure of firing warning shots on the battlefield.
When the armored regiments on both sides started fighting, in order to boost morale, the Luosha officer asked his brothers to stand on the edge of the battlefield and watch, but he didn't expect to be caught off guard.
Now there is not much fighting spirit at all. If you are not caught up, just run north desperately. If you are caught up, just surrender your gun honestly. At least you can save your life.
When Tang Guoping rushed into the Rakshasa military camp, there were various strategic materials worth more than 12 million oceans. They were originally intended to support the Xiongnu tribes, but the Rakshasa officers were arrogant and had not distributed them yet, so all of them went to Tang Guoping.
"Commander, these are all Xiongnu princes. As for what tribe they are from, I don't know."
Outside the big tent in the camp, several people were also kneeling here, all of them were little Hun kings.
"Let's hurry up and save our time. No matter how much assets you have, if you're willing to give it all in exchange for your lives, then hurry up and hand it over, whether it's gold, silver, cattle or sheep. If anyone dares to hide anything, don't blame me for being rude."
Tang Guoping lit a cigarette for himself. He had no good feelings towards these Xiongnu nobles. If you guys hadn't wanted independence, how could we be here today?
Of course, on the other hand, if you hadn't been independent, this place would definitely be like other places, the territory of other domestic warlords, and there would be special National Government officials. It would be wrong for us to occupy this place by force.
After Tang Guoping finished speaking, these Xiongnu princes just knelt there without any reaction, and it seemed that they were not going to take it out.
"Come here, a few people, take the princes to the back. Don't kill them. As long as they are alive, I still want the military funds for our war, and they have to pay them out of their mouths."
After Tang Guoping finished speaking, more than a dozen tall and strong soldiers grabbed the collars of several princes and dragged them to the back of the tent like dead dogs.
Some people used gun butts, some people pulled off their belts. Anyway, there were all kinds of tools on the battlefield, so you didn't have to worry about not asking.
The pampered Xiongnu prince was even fed by beautiful maids.
How could they have endured such a punishment? After a while, they could no longer hold on and quickly told the whereabouts of their hidden money. In addition, all the cattle and sheep of the various tribes were transferred to the 72nd Division.
Li Shaoyi had said earlier that all assets of the Xiongnu nobles would be confiscated, and as for the assets of ordinary herdsmen, he would make a decision after the investigation.
What we need to fight for are the slaves, the slaves who have no rights at all and whose original lives saw no hope at all. Now we can give them some hope and make them our local allies.
As for these Xiongnu princes, they sided with the Russians politically and opposed us militarily, so they are the targets of dictatorship.
"These Xiongnu princes are really rich. The common people are so poor that they are just skin and bones, but each of them can actually come up with 100,000 or 200,000 taels of gold."
After his men finished torturing the people, they came with a list and a team was already taking these Hun princes to collect the money.
I originally thought that they would have some livestock at most, and furs would definitely be indispensable, after all, they are the local specialties. I didn't expect that they had quite a bit of gold and silver as well.
Tang Guoping remembered what Li Shaoyi had said. On the Xiongnu grasslands, the prince was the richest man around, and everyone else was a poor wretch. He just had to work hard on them, and he would reap unexpected rewards...
