Chapter 014: The Battle of Cullen

As soon as the Battle of Öndörkhan ended, the result of the war was once again unexpected, the war in Choibalshan did not make progress, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, this is not because Wei Lihuang is not capable, but because the Soviet Union has been operating here for a long time, and the terrain is also suitable for the mechanized troops of the Soviet Army, Wei Lihuang can fight like this is already very good.

In fact, according to the strength of the Qin army, if all the weapons are taken out, then there is no problem in taking Outer Mongolia, but Wang Hanzhang does not want to take out the helicopter.

Now take it out, first, the helicopter is estimated to have little effect in the harsh winter, so that at least until the beginning of spring in April next year, after the ice and snow melt, it will be conducive to the attack of the squadron.

Second, there is no preparation for a large-scale war yet, so taking out such a sharp weapon is tantamount to exposing the target in advance. With a gap of half a year, the Soviet Union will soon be able to develop countermeasures, so that the power of the helicopter will not be able to be used to the fullest.

Helicopter Wang Hanzhang is a duck to be taken out next year, when the time is estimated to have 1,800 planes, when the time comes, the focus on practicality, bullets at the Soviet army sweeping, but also throw small bombs, Wang Hanzhang believes that in half a year the Soviet Union is completely helpless for this weapon, then in this half-year gap, the squadron can sweep through Siberia and Central Asia.

On October 1, the Battle of Kulun began, when the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army had 110,000 people, and the Sino-Qin coalition army had 100,000 people.

The squadron was based in Bayan, south of Kulun, Dai Anlan commanded 100,000 horses to attack the Soviet army, the Soviet army was afraid of being beaten by the bazooka, although there was an armored division, but they did not dare to move, they did not dare to attack when the squadron had fortifications, it was really that kind of bazooka is too easy to use, as long as he can penetrate the tank, the bazooka is the nightmare of these tanks.

When an advance regiment of the two armies officially exchanged fire, the two sides engaged in an air battle, during this time the army below only watched, before the air force did not grasp the initiative, both sides did not dare to move, Dai Anlan was worried that the Soviet Union had more planes than China, and there was no way that people's industries were more developed than China.

And the Soviets were worried about the Chinese bazookas, which is ridiculous to say, their mechanized troops were actually suppressed by small bazookas, all of which were misled by the news coming back from the European battlefield, and the misleading of the Soviet troops who withdrew from Sainshanda.

No army will blame itself after defeat, and basically find excuses to shirk if they can find excuses, so the news from the two battlefields made the Soviet commander very afraid, and he wanted to wait for the end of the air battle to gain air supremacy before launching an attack.

The two sides are still at loggerheads, and the river, which is not wide, is a tributary of the Orkhon River, which flows into Lake Baikal and originates in the Kent Mountains northeast of Kunlun.

Despite this, it was indeed an insurmountable chasm for the Chinese army on the attacking side, the Soviets outnumbered them at least in the number of artillery and tanks, and before they controlled the air supremacy, crossing the river in broad daylight was tantamount to looking for death.

After the first round of air battles, although the Soviet army suffered heavy casualties, but with its large numbers, the Chinese Air Force did not make any good gains, at least after the first round of air battles, the Chinese Air Force did not occupy our air supremacy.

At the end of this gap in the air battle, the artillery of both sides began to exert its might, and the Soviet army also had self-propelled artillery, which brought a lot of harm to the Chinese army.

However, compared with the Chinese army, the Soviet army built fortifications according to the river, and the Chinese army was far outside the strike range of the opponent's artillery, so the Soviet artillery could only endanger the Chinese army's artillery, and could not cause any damage to the infantry.

However, the artillery of the Chinese army did not cause much harm to the Soviet army, the Soviet army was very ghostly, the troops along the river were all pseudo-Mongolian troops, and their own troops were far away, so the Chinese artillery killed these two devils except for the artillery of the Soviet army.

At the same time as the Battle of Kulun, Wang Hanzhang was not idle, in addition to dealing with the affairs of the Qin State, he also had to send people to inspect the terrain and build the railway, although the road fell from where to build there Wang Hanzhang had already decided, that is, the railway line of later generations, from Jining in Suiyuan to Erenhot, in the repair to Saiyin Shanda, and then until Kulen can be connected to the Soviet Union to repair the railway to Outer Mongolia.

Although the route has been chosen, how to repair it specifically, the terrain there is more suitable has not yet been completely finalized, and Wang Hanzhang finally has to choose a time-saving, labor-saving and money-saving railway.

Although the specific plan for the construction of the railway has not yet been decided, Wang Hanzhang has already sent people to prepare the materials needed to build the railway, and only wait for the experts to finalize the final plan to recruit manual laborers.

On October 8, the first batch of Socialist Party troops finally arrived in Urumqi, Xinjiang. Sheng Shicai originally wanted to bargain, but it was useless, asking for help from the Soviet Union, where would Stalin agree, when the time came, he would directly provoke China, although he was not afraid, but now is not the time, Stalin did not even read weapons and did not help, because he felt that there was no need to command and waste less aid. It's not okay if there are too many, and if the prosperous world doesn't have the courage to fight to the end, it will be even more wasteful.

In the end, the Soviet Union was willing to sell weapons to Sheng Shicai as long as Sheng Shicai gave enough money. Xinjiang is barren to death, although Sheng Shicai has aged a lot for so many years, but if he wants to use his own money to sell weapons to keep this position, he really doesn't want to, without the support of the Soviet Union, he doesn't think he can keep it.

As long as Chiang Kai-shek buys off high-ranking officials, many people will immediately defect to the central government, not to mention that now all parts of Xinjiang are also demanding to submit to the central government, and do not approve of this kind of behavior against the central government.

Sheng Shicai thought about it again, there is no chance to win the fight, if he loses the fight and flees to the Soviet Union, he may not have a good life, the toothless tiger is not as good as a dog, he does not understand Russian, and he is not adapted to Maozi's habits, even if he dies, he will die in China. And the conditions for the Chongqing government's dismissal are enough to be true, although he has no real power, but to ensure his personal and property safety, and at the same time, there is also a fortune, which is enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

On the contrary, if the confrontation is a dead end, Sheng Shicai finally decided to accept the change.

Sheng Shicai was quite satisfied with sending the Socialist Party to take over Xinjiang this time, and when the Socialist Party was marching westward, the Socialist Party suffered a miserable defeat, and he still took in the Socialists who arrived in Xinjiang, so he was still kind to the Socialist Party.

Mao Weiguo personally led this group of Socialist Party troops, and along the way they successfully received all parts of the country, and finally arrived in Urumqi today, where Sheng Shicai was already waiting.

Mao Weiguo got out of the car and was very enthusiastic about Sheng Shicai, both for the need to take over Xinjiang and for thanking him for helping the Socialist Party before.

"Sheng Gong, I have admired the name for a long time!" Mao Weiguo held Sheng Shicai's hand.

Sheng Shicai was flattered, Mao Weiguo was so enthusiastic, then his life in Xinjiang would be much better, "Where is it, more than people have admired Mr. Mao for a long time, and it is a blessing to see him today." ”

"The contemptible person prepares a little thin wine to wash the dust for Mr. Mao, please." Sheng Shicai made a gesture of invitation to Mao Weiguo.

For this kind of traditional customs, the good intentions of others, Mao Weiguo naturally will not refuse, "Please!" ”

The two talked about the situation in Xinjiang, and Sheng Shi learned that at present, the country is clamoring to recover its homeland, and a fight has already broken out in Outer Mongolia. Sheng Shicai naturally expressed his incomparable disgust for Soviet Russia, whether he really hated that Soviet Russia occupied so much territory in China, or Soviet Russia gave up itself at a critical moment, or both, in short, Sheng Shicai now hated Soviet Russia and Stalin with an extremely hated face.

Then Sheng Shicai told in front of the Socialist Party cadres how Tsarist Russia oppressed the people of Xinjiang and how it occupied China's territory during the Tsarist period, and talked about how Soviet Russia was better than Tsarist Russia, and how the evil Stalin forced him over the years, repeatedly asked him to defect to Soviet Russia, annex Xinjiang to the Soviet Union, and promised to be a high-ranking official, but he did not agree, although he was a warlord, he still knew that he had the blood of the Chinese nation and the descendants of Yan and Huang in his bones.

Although everyone knows that the latter ones are Sheng Shicai's bragging, everyone in front of them knows that they are true, the facts are there, and they believe that what Sheng Shicai said is just scratching the surface.

These days there has been a lot of propaganda in the country about the reconquest of the territories occupied by Soviet Russia, for which war has broken out, although they are all ideologically inclined to Soviet Russia. But he is still Chinese in his bones, and before Lenin said that he would return the occupied territories of China, but Stalin and the current Soviet Russian government did not give it, and all the people who went to negotiate were Socialists, and it was useless for his second-in-command, Zhou Wen, who had already become prime minister, to go personally.

This is obviously a slap in the face of the Socialist Party, in vain that he has always regarded the Soviet Union as a big brother, and Ami thought that his big brother was so despicable and dirty.

People are like that, once the perfect thing in your heart suddenly becomes bad because of something, how do you think of him and how do you think that he is full of shortcomings and is good for nothing. This is how the Socialist Party now feels about the USSR and Stalin.

Basically, they have never been to the Soviet Union before, and a few have been, although the Soviet Union is not very good, but no one will say that the ideal victory in their hearts is so unbearable, not to mention that the previous conditions do not allow such a situation to happen, so they will be in a lot of mysteries and praise the Soviet Union like a flower, so ordinary party members are naturally very good there.

Now that China has established a coalition government, the Kuomintang is no longer their enemy, and they naturally want to return to reason, but all this has not yet had time to be implemented. Stalin's doing this was tantamount to doing Wang Hanzhang a great favor.

In the words of later generations, he ruined the three views of the Chinese Socialist Party (outlook on life, values, and world outlook), which saved countless troubles for the implementation of Wang Hanzhang's later plans, otherwise these Socialists would have beaten their dear Soviet big brother, and Wang Hanzhang was really worried that they would not be instigated by some people to defect.
