Nine Plains went north, past the green grassland, and then there was a desert. Beyond the desert was another grassland.
The green grassland divided the entire Mongolia into two parts, which were Inner and Outer Mongolia.
On the map, the two sides were close to each other, but when they really arrived, they realized that the two sides were actually two different worlds. Thousands of years of grazing had caused many places to become deserts.
Kulun was the pearl of the entire Mongolia and also the center of the country. It looked like a small county town with lamas, palaces, and tents of various royal palaces and ministers. The rest of the place was filled with shops.
Of course, it had to be said that poor herdsmen would not appear in Kulun. They still lived a nomadic life, driving their cattle and chasing the fat water and grass. They would only arrive at the settlement in winter. At that time, they would use their cattle and sheep to exchange for winter supplies.
First of all, there were only a few herdsmen who could own their own cattle and sheep. Most of the cattle, sheep, and pastures belonged to the nobles, so the poor could only graze for the nobles.
The appearance of Jiuyuan made many poor herdsmen cross the border to work in Jiuyuan. This made the already desolate Mongolia even more sparsely populated.
Due to its proximity to Jiuyuan, these herdsmen still had a lot of convenience. In the past, they didn't know how to deal with the huge amount of cattle and sheep. Now, all of them were bought by Jiuyuan's merchants.
A large number of cattle and sheep were turned into money and goods, which made the lives of many herdsmen and nobles rich. Many people began to enjoy themselves.
Nominally, Mongolia was controlled by various nobles, but in reality, it was controlled by the Russians, especially the commanders of the army.
These nobles did not have the right to command the army at all, which made many people feel that they had just escaped from the wolf's den and fell into the tiger's den.
Before Gao Wanquan's armored division sent troops, Yang Xin had already sent the newly formed special forces to Mongolia. There were 500 people in total. They were divided into different routes and sent to Kulun through different methods. The purpose was to figure out the situation.
At this time, most of the situation had been figured out. Looking at the situation, Yang Xin shook his head lightly. He was not too worried about the armored division taking down Kulun. Tens of thousands of cavalrymen with no fighting spirit were not enough.
Moreover, in front of the tanks, the cavalry was not even an appetizer. The most important thing was the Russians in Lake Baikal. That was the main point.
"Gao Wanquan, are you confident that you can ambush Kulun within 24 hours?”Yang Xin turned to Gao Wanquan and asked.
Gao Wanquan pondered for a moment and said,""Chief, if the fuel supply can keep up, I am confident that we can take down Cullen within 20 hours.”
The distance of the tank depended on the fuel. Fortunately, Yang Xin's armored division was a light tank, weighing only a dozen tons, so the fuel consumption was not that high.
"I'll send all the supply vehicles to you and have them carry the fuel at full capacity.”Hearing Gao Wanquan's words, Yang Xin nodded.
Fortunately, the armored division was always at the border, which saved them a few hundred kilometers of travel. They only needed to carry 1,000 kilometers of fuel to reach Cullen.
As for the tanks that broke down on the road, there was no need to worry. There would be specialized faulty vehicles to repair them.
For the armored division, Yang Xin had put in a lot of effort. He had equipped all the auxiliary units such as faulty vehicles, supply vehicles, and medical support vehicles.
"In addition, I have already ordered the 4th, 5th, and 6th infantry divisions to gather. They will arrive in Cullen in seven days. If the Russians attack before then, you will only be able to get support from the air force.”Yang Xin said seriously.
"Please rest assured, Head Chief. I will definitely defend Kulun to the death.”Gao Wanquan said confidently.
"Remember, you are an armored division. You must use the advantage of a tank and not engage in positional warfare.”Yang Xin warned again.
"Yes, sir!"
"Let's go!"
After Gao Wanquan's armored division set off, Yang Xin asked again,""Where is the special forces?"
Wang Rusong immediately replied,"" We've arrived at Cullen…"
Hearing this, Yang Xin nodded. In order to ensure that they could quickly occupy Kulun, he sent the special forces over. The purpose was to get rid of the core of Kulun's leaders. The rest were all vulnerable. It was not a problem to take down Kulun, but it would be difficult to control it.
In Yang Xin's plan, the special forces taking down Kulun was just an appetizer. The real target was still the Russians in the north. Taking down the command center of the Russians was the key to victory.
"Order the entire army to only win this battle. This is related to our dignity.”Yang Xin ordered.
"Yes, sir!"
