The battle plan of Outer Mongolia was carried out very smoothly, after all, the army organized by the puppet regime in Outer Mongolia was some armed herdsmen.

The army sent by Tsarist Russia to Outer Mongolia was only one regiment, and they mainly played the role of a teaching regiment to train the herdsmen of the puppet regime in Outer Mongolia.

Therefore, it was quickly annihilated under the two-sided attack of the Second and Third Army, and its own casualties were negligible.

And the five divisions of the First Army that attacked the mouth of the Ili River suffered heavy casualties. This was something that the Xinjiang Governor did not expect.

After the five divisions of the First Army entered the territory of Tsarist Russia, an infantry regiment that went out to search for alert was raided by a Kazakh cavalry division of Tsarist Russia in the plain area of [Taldi Kurgan].

The Kazakh cavalry division used the usual wave shock tactics, and after paying the price of 5,000 men, successfully annihilated the forward search group, resulting in the entire 1,600 people of the regiment not surviving.

The most important thing is that the remaining weapons and ammunition of the search alert regiment and a company of transport trucks were all captured by the enemy!

Zhang Erye looked at the battlefield analysis report brought by the adjutant, and he did not jump like thunder like others. These student soldiers still lack exercise! He just had some heartache for these student soldiers.

As can be seen from the analysis report, the infantry regiment suffers from the lack of suitable anti-artillery tactics! The Kazakh cavalry had infantry artillery. The range of an infantry gun is definitely greater than that of a mortar.

The Kazakh cavalry division successfully suppressed the artillery and machine guns of the infantry regiment with long-range infantry artillery, and only then did it successfully break through the temporary defensive position of the infantry regiment.

Fortunately, battlefield investigators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs found a large number of steel balls after the explosion of shells at the front of the artillery positions, as well as the remains of machine guns destroyed by artillery fire in machine gun positions. It is fortunate to think that the officers and soldiers of the vigilance regiment destroyed all the secret weapons at the last moment. Unfortunately, it backfired.

The final investigation report of the Ministry of the Interior concluded that:

(1) When the vigilant regiment was suddenly attacked by a large number of cavalry, due to its haste to respond to the battle, it did not organize soldiers to dig defensive tunnels or foxholes on the second line in accordance with the requirements of peacetime training.

(2) Artillery positions and machine-gun positions, there is no trace of the establishment of a second position, and the timely transfer of the training program was not achieved during the battle.

(3) The distance between the ammunition storage place and the machine gun position was too far to replenish the ammunition in time, resulting in the enemy cavalry quickly breaking through the machine gun blockade line in the machine gun gap.

Conclusion: From the above observations, it can be seen that the main reason for the defeat of our army in this battle was the confusion of command.

In addition, according to the ammunition supply records of its division headquarters and the wreckage at the scene, our army lost a total of 16 mortar mounts, 5 machine guns, and more than 50,000 rounds of machine gun and rifle ammunition in this battle; According to the distribution of steel balls at the scene and the number of steel balls per unit area, it is calculated that the special artillery shells of the regiment may have been basically destroyed, and the specific situation is unknown.

The First Group Army of National Defense, the Ministry of the Interior [Special Weapons Supervision and Supervision Section] on-site inspection report.

Reported on 16 August 1916.

As soon as the investigation report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came out, even the commander of the group army, Zhang Muzhi, was in a hurry! He knew that these weapons were powerful, so he hurried from the headquarters to the military council of the Governor's Palace.

"What's the hurry! The sky can't fall! ”

Zhang Dadu Du stared at the huge map and thought, where would this Russian cavalry division be hidden?

Although they completely annihilated the advance alert regiment this time, they themselves paid a huge price of more than 5,000 horses. A cavalry division was almost crippled!

It is impossible for them to turn back to the hinterland of Tsarist Russia, because the Tsarist Russia is more chaotic than the border areas at this time, and not only will they not be able to get supplies when they return, but they may also be sent to the front line in Western Europe. The Kazakh cavalry has always been cannon fodder in the Tsarist Russian troops. Kazakhs and Russians have never been close.

If I were the commander of this unit, I would definitely choose to replenish supplies and troops in the nearest Kazakh homeland.

Moreover, they have a large number of military horses, which require a lot of fodder and water. Therefore, he could only repair near Lake Balkhash. There is grass and water, and it is also a gathering place for Kazakh tribes.

After thinking about it thoroughly, he Zhang Dadu did not immediately order the elimination of this cavalry division.

Instead, the adjutant was asked to notify the No. 1 depot of the combat readiness reserve to transfer 1,000 machine guns and their ammunition for backup, and to notify the No. 3 depot to mobilize 2,500 trucks and their supporting fuel.

After everything was ready, Governor Zhang Dadu pointed to the map and said to Zhang Muzhi:

"Inform your five divisions, and I will supply them with 2,500 vehicles and 1,000 machine guns. Tell them to put all the machine guns on my car, to fan me up and move towards the Balkhash Lake area, and that once I engage the enemy, I must chase after me and not let go of any of them, and I must find my lost weapons. ”

The reason why so many cars are called is because the second master clearly knows that most of Kazakhstan is a gentle hilly steppe area, which is very suitable for car traffic. Aren't you fast on horseback? Lao Tzu is chasing you with a car, you have the ability to race with the car! I can't run you to death!

"Yes! Resolutely complete the mission! ”

After seeing the adjutant and Zhang Muzhidu leaving, Governor Zhang picked up the phone again, shook the phone of the No. 1 Arsenal in Xinjiang, and notified the director of the factory, Bellman, to report to the governor's mansion.

The second master saw the firepower shortcoming of his troops through this battle, that is, there was no suitable long-range suppression artillery.

As early as the completion of the First Arsenal, he handed over the design drawings and production process of the five guns and machine guns to Bellman.

One of them is the best cannon in World War II, after the war, it was called the lightest, most beautiful, most reliable, simple to operate, and most versatile infantry artillery in World War II - the Soviet-made ZIS-3 76.2 mm cannon, which fires two shells, armor-piercing shells and anti-personnel grenades, with a range of 13.29/km.

The ZIS-3 76-mm cannon is responsible for destroying the enemy's living forces, destroying the enemy's infantry fire points and suppressing the enemy's artillery firepower, destroying the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles, destroying the enemy's barbed wire obstacles, and destroying the enemy's shelter and permanent firepower points.

The most important thing is that the second master likes it because of its lightness, which can be dragged away by manpower at a critical time. The transfer of positions and its convenience and speed.

"Oh! Dear boss! It's been a long time since you've summoned me! I miss your ~~~ design drawings. Do you have a new design again? ”

Technophiles never lie, and the second master believes that he misses the drawings he plagiarized, not the second master himself.

"Mr. Bellman! Are you still used to it in Xinjiang? How is your family? ”

Bellman's family had all moved to Xinjiang at the end of last year, so the second master inquired with concern.

"Oh! Awesome! It's the little ones at home who complain that Chinese is too difficult to learn! ”

Since all schools in Xinjiang use all-Chinese education, the new foreigner family members are a little uncomfortable.

"It's nothing! You'll get used to it slowly. The little ones are always the quickest to adapt to a new environment. By the way, was the trial production of the gun successful? ”

"Not all of them succeeded, only the 76.2 mm cannon you designed was successfully prototyped. Now it is ramping up production. Several other types of artillery are now at a standstill because the barrels produced by the steel mill are not up to par. Now Liu Qingen, the deputy director of the factory, is coordinating experiments with the technicians of the steel plant, and the metal formula of the gun barrel you gave. ”

Sure enough, as the second master thought, the ZIS-3 76mm cannon was an artillery produced by the Soviet Union before World War II, and there is not much generation difference for today's technology. The other kinds are famous guns of later generations, and the technical generation gap cannot be overcome in a while.

"How many 76-mm guns are produced now? How many shells? ”

"36 artillery pieces, equipped with 20,000 armor-piercing shells and 20,000 anti-personnel grenades."

Ooh! Yes! The second master was a little pleased! It seems that the cooperation between Bellman and Liu Qingen, the two technical masters, is not as simple as 1+1! The cooperation between the two is simply a multiplied chemical reaction! It seems that digging these two people yourself is digging the right one!

"In the future, we will make full efforts to produce anti-personnel grenades, and the production of armor-piercing shells will be suspended."

Governor Zhang Dadu commanded.

Now there is no place around that needs armor-piercing shells! This is not Europe, there are no solid concrete fortifications here, so it is a bit wasteful to produce armor-piercing shells in large quantities at this time. It will be too late to reproduce before World War II.

The [Zarkent] area in Tsarist Russia at the mouth of the Ili River was the temporary garrison of the outbound division of the First Army. That morning, the rear supply convoy arrived at the camp.

Seeing the huge convoy, the commanders of the five divisions were all stunned!

It's one thing to look at the numbers on the telegram, and there is no comparable concept in my head. It's another thing to see the real thing. In the dust, you can't see where the tail end of the convoy is!

2,500 trucks marching in columns, that's no joke! That's really covering the sky and the sun!

"Divisional commander! Commander, how many cars are there for us?! ”

A staff officer asked his commander excitedly.

"You think it's honorable? Inform the fighters of the logistics car regiment that they are ready to pick up the car. ”

This division commander doesn't have the excitement of a staff officer, and it's not shameful enough!

If it weren't for the vigilance regiment to lightly attack the enemy, it would have been boiled in a pot of people, and this has become a typical negative teaching material for the whole army! Where is he still in the mood to be happy and excited?

In the establishment of the Xinjiang National Defense Force, each division has a logistics vehicle regiment equipped with 135 vehicles. This time, Governor Zhang added 500 cars to each division, which is to compete with the horse's legs with the wheels!

What's more, 1,000 machine guns, 25 76mm cannons and 1,250 anti-personnel grenades were also towed with the vehicle this time. If you don't say that he Zhang Erye is a master who will repay him, with so many supplies, aren't you slaughtering chickens with knives and mosquitoes with cannons? Are you concerned?

The other party has infantry artillery, and if you have five divisions of troops to beat him a disabled cavalry division, it will be very bullying, okay! Hello! It's not enough to have a car and a machine gun? And with a cannon? ~~~

If you don't say it~ Don't offend this kind of lord who will repay you, you don't know what revenge he will do crazy ~~~~~~

Where did the officers and soldiers below know the second master's plan! He knew that in Kazakhstan was the base camp of the Russian cavalry units. There are almost all cavalry here, so in order to solve the trouble of infantry against cavalry in the future, the second master also wants to have a pot of stew!

This was not enough, and the five divisions drawn from the First Group Army in Xinjiang, all equipped with machine gun cars, fought out of the mouth of the Ili River.

The five divisions received a secret order to "expel all Tsarist Russians from the occupied territories, and to forcibly expel local residents who are unwilling to cooperate with their departure." ”

This "secret order" is very interesting! He, Zhang Dadudu, is going to concoct the Russian version of the "Jiangdong 64 Tun Tragedy"!

Tsarist Russia met him this time, and Zhang Dadu was unlucky! In the past, the humiliation inflicted on the Chinese nation by Tsarist Russia had to be returned by him one by one, and it was the same method that was disgustingly copied as it was~~~~~~

Under the pressure of force, Tsarist Russia forced the Qing government to sign the Treaty of Aihui in April 1858, which caused China to lose more than 600,000 square kilometers of land in the Outer Northeast.

In 1860, the Qing government signed unequal treaties with Britain, France, and Russia in Beijing after the Second Opium War. In the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing signed with Russia, China lost all the land in the Outer Northeast.

You don't know how much land the Outer Northeast is, right? It's more than 1.1 million square kilometers! Sakhalin Island and the Sea of Okhotsk are all Chinese territory.

(If you look at the world map, you can pull a horizontal line from the northernmost point of Lake Baikal to the right to the sea of "Sea of Okhotsk", and the land south of this horizontal line is all Chinese, except for Korea and Japan.) Now it's intuitive! ）

At the same time, in order to completely occupy Chinese territory, Tsarist Russia expelled and even massacred Chinese residents in many places in Northeast China. The Jiangdong 64 Tun tragedy, located north of Heilongjiang, is one of them.

In 1900, that is, the 26th year of Guangxu Gengzi of the Qing Dynasty, the land of China was bullied by the foreign powers again, almost all the powers formed an eight-nation alliance to launch armed aggression, and Tsarist Russia, located in the north, sent hundreds of thousands of troops under the pretext of the Boxer Rebellion in Manchuria, completely occupying the entire territory of China's outer northeast.

From then on, Tsarist Russia began to emigrate in large numbers to the Outer Northeast, and on the basis of unequal treaties, the de facto occupation of immigrants was implemented.

With such a big humiliation, can he Zhang Dadu not return it? Joke! ~~~
