Chapter 273: Lake Baikal in China
Although the wine that Etzdan Bissel took out with great enthusiasm was not a good wine, and the roe deer meat was good meat, but Etzdan Bissell's "cooking skills" were really not complimentary. It's just that in the cauldron, filled with snow, the frozen roe deer carcass is chopped up with a large axe that chops wood, and then put it in snow water and boiled.
But for Olesha, who had not eaten heated food these days, and was half dead from hunger and freezing, it was so delicious and timely. They couldn't wait, and before the roe deer meat was cooked, they began to grab it out of the pot and gnaw wildly. The taste of the meat of these half-cooked and bloodied robes far surpassed that of the suckling sheep they had heard of from the Kremlin's court cooks.
The peculiarly smelly and inferior vodka illegally brewed by these peasants in their skins far surpasses in their mouths the rich aroma and absolutely excellent taste of the real Soviet vodka family's finest red vodka made using the 500-year-old Soviet double distillation method and filtered four times.
After devouring the sumptuous feast and drinking two bowls of black broth, the tired and exhausted Soviet tank men lay on the floor, snoring like thunder, and fell asleep.
Captain Olesha still endured the eyelids of fighting up and down, and was doing his leadership responsibility. He asked Etzdan Bisel: "Thank you for your hospitality, can you tell me how far is the nearest collective farm?" ”
He must find the grassroots party and government organizations in the Soviet Union as soon as possible to solve the difficulties he is facing.
"About 30 kilometres north along the lake is the Sesenar Red Banner Collective Farm," said Etzdan Bisel, pointing his hand to the north, "but the chairman of the farm is not a very talkative man. ”
"Is there a [***] team around here?" This is Olyosha's greatest concern.
Ezdan Bisel shook his head and said, "The [***] team has not seen it. Then Etzdan Biselbi told him, "But every day you see Chinese planes flying around the lake like dragonflies."
"Oh," Olyosha asked, nodding his head, "how far is it from Severobaikalsk?" ”
"I don't go there very often, but I guess it's about 300 kilometers."
"Damn, Bai has been wandering around the forest for 4 days, and I haven't gone far at all." Oresha thought to himself, then took out 20 rubles and stuffed them into the rough hand of Ezdan Bisr and said, "Thank you, Comrade Etzdan Bisr. ”。
"Ha, ha, this captain is stupider than a roe deer, it's so fucking bright, give me so much money at once, and make a lot of money this time." Ezdan Bisel put the 20 rubles into his oil-stained bosom and said, "Comrade Captain, you see how bad this is, you better take it back." ”
Olyosha thought, "I hang your old mother's remains, can I still get it back?" He knew that in this Baikal area where the roe deer was beaten, the fish scooped and the pheasant flew to the rice pot, a roe deer with half a sac of cloudy wine would not even be needed for two rubles. Hey, farmer, there's no way, can he sleep well if he doesn't let him get a little cheap?
Fart! At a time when money was still used as a means of commodity exchange, who did not do this, the people in the city made black money, more shameless, more greedy. Don't say anyone, it's all a JB taste!
Olesha was so sleepy that he decided to rest here for the night, and the next day he would go back to the Sesenar Red Banner Collective Farm to see if the local party organization there could lend him a car and eat something.
The next day, Olesha and his party of 8 people sat on the snow plow, and under the leadership of Etzdanbisel, they came to the Sesenar Hongqi Collective Farm.
Oreyosha and the others finally found the party organization they were looking for, but the party organization can't just "borrow" people from the collective property! Bread, no. There is no extra bread in the party organization! Not only did there be no extra bread, but because Captain Olesha had the highest rank, the party organization asked him to take away more than 30 stragglers of various units of the Soviet army who had fled to this Sesenar Red Banner collective farm.
In the end, after bargaining with the party organization, the party organization decided to give each of them 5 kilograms of dried fish and 1 kilogram of black leba, and leave here immediately.
Olesha had no choice but to use wartime decrees to frighten the party organization and forcibly expropriate the only two Giss 150 trucks of the Sesenar Red Banner Collective Farm. With more than 40 stragglers, they fled to the city of Severobaikalsk. In order to avoid the helicopters that appear from time to time in the sky, more than 300 kilometers of road, they drove for 2 days. Along the way, more than 20 scattered Soviet officers and soldiers were collected.
In the city of Severobaikalsk, the 63 stragglers led by Olyosha met about 100 people led by Colonel Andrei Shapilovsky, political commissar of the 19th regiment of the 34th motorized infantry division of the post-Baikal Military District, who fled here from Ulan-Ude. The two men had the same fate, had the same idea, and hit it off with the decision to organize guerrillas when they could not get in touch with the superior troops for the time being. In the deep mountains and dense forests of the eastern Baikal region, the Chinese [***] detachment continued to fight, engaged in guerrilla warfare.
The 21st Regiment of the 1st Reserve Division of the Xinjiang Provincial Production and Construction Corps, after completing the sweep of the remnants of the Soviet army in the northern part of the eastern shore of Lake Baikal and the local Soviet power in this area, turned to the northern tip of Lake Baikal. On March 10, the 3rd Battalion of the 21st Regiment of the 1st Division of the Reserve of the Xinjiang Provincial Production and Construction Corps marched into the city of Nizhny Angarsk, located at the northernmost tip of Lake Baikal, and if Nizhny Angarsk was a "city," I am afraid that any Chinese would scoff at it. Because there are only about 4,000 people in this city, there are definitely not as many people as a production brigade in rural China.
At 8:30 a.m. on the morning of the 11th, the 3rd Battalion received an order from the division command to leave one company in the city of Nizhny Angarsk, and the rest advanced to the city of Severobaikalsk, located on the west bank of Lake Baikal, to receive the "big" city of the Soviet Autonomous Republic of Buryatia with nearly 10,000 people. According to prior reconnaissance, this city, which is 440 kilometers northwest of Ulan-Ude and 490 kilometers northeast of Irkutsk, has no Soviet garrison, so there is no such thing as a "ceasefire line" signed together.
Cao Shishu, commander of the 3rd Battalion, immediately decided that the instructor would lead the 3rd Company to stay in the city of Nizhny Angarsk, and he would lead the 1st and 2nd companies to receive the city of Severobaikalsk.
Twenty-five minutes after receiving the order, Cao Shishu led more than 600 fully armed reserve fighters of the Production and Construction Corps to ride in more than 30 military off-road trucks with tarpaulins and buckle tarpaulins in two routes: the first company marched along the lakeside road to Severobaikalsk City, and the second company went straight to Severobaikalsk City from the surface of Lake Baikal.
The two cities are separated by only more than 40 kilometers, and Cao Shishu led the 2nd Company to plunge directly from the lake to the city of Severobaikalsk, and from the east side of the river pier in Severobaikalsk to the western shore of Lake Baikal, and was the first to reach the municipal axe office building on Vladimir Street.
At this time, a meeting of the main leaders of the city was being held in the Severobaikalsk mayor's office to study the issue of the supply of the partisans. The "Severobaikalsk partisan detachment" founded by Senior Colonel Andrei Shapilovsky and Olesha has drawn more than 100 people in Severobaikalsk City, and now there are more than 300 people, but how can they be fed, fed, sheltered, and fed? That can only be solved by the local political axe.
Vgin Cherov, a purebred Russian, went to Ust-Kut with his wife and children as early as 4 days ago. Only Kimitradarsky, the mayor of Severobaikalsk of mixed Eurasian descent, is in his 40s this year, yellow-skinned and black-haired, but has an old hairy face, at first glance it is a hybrid breed, he is likely to be the descendants of Su Wu when he was lonely and lonely with the Huns, or it may be Li Ling, Wei Lu and others at the same time who were exiled to the Xiongnu to worship the king, their descendants and a large number of captured and plundered Han Chinese descendants, may also be Mongol and Russian hybrids. There is no way to verify his origins. He had long since integrated into this society and became a citizen of the Republic of Buryatia in the USSR.
Over the years, the foreign cultural influence and blood hybridization have made the "Chinese" here no longer be able to figure out what percentage of their Chinese blood is, and they no longer regard themselves as Chinese.
Cao Shishu opened the safety of the Type 51 automatic rifle in his hand and was the first to jump out of the car. Aggressively walked towards the office building of Severobaikalsk.
Cao Shishu is not as bookish as his name, he has long shoulders and a thin waist, flexible hands and feet, and is born to be a soldier. At the age of 17, he became a Kuomintang soldier, in 1948, he participated in the first column of the Beiyue Military Region of the Chinese Chinese People's Liberation Army in Baoding at the age of 18, and in December of the same year, he participated in the battle to liberate Zhangjiakou, Xuanhua and other towns. In 1949, when he participated in the Taiyuan Campaign, he was awarded a second-class meritorious service. Promoted to squad leader. In October 1951, when the 66th Army of Guseong and the 24th Division of the U.S. Army fought fiercely, his bayonet of 38 guns was left in the chest of a U.S. second lieutenant. In the Battle of Turtle City, he was awarded the title of Level 1 Battle Hero. After recovering from his injuries, he was assigned to a county town as the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative. He was reluctant to leave the army, so he found the military transfer office and took the initiative to ask to go to the Xinjiang Provincial Production and Construction Corps and became a training staff officer.
This time in the war with the Soviet Union, he took the initiative to find the leader of the corps and said: "Let me go, although everyone calls me 'one eye', but it doesn't affect anything, you don't have to shoot a gun like you all have to have a tail, you have to close one, I don't need to, it's much faster than you shoot." If you don't believe it, go to the shooting range now, within 15 seconds, 200 meters lying without support, 10 bullets, definitely more than 80 rings. ”
In front of the office building in Severobaikalsk, a Soviet policeman blocked the way of Cao Shishu and his party very uninterestingly, walked in front, Cao Shishu, who was holding a Type 51 automatic rifle in his right hand, didn't even look at the policeman, and pushed the Soviet policeman who couldn't see the height of his eyebrows to the side with his left hand, and said to the soldier who followed him without looking back: "Get his gun down." Then he strode upstairs.
The mayor of Severobaikalsk, Kimitradarsky, who was speaking at a meeting, saw a Chinese major officer with a false eyeball in his left eye and an automatic rifle in his right hand break into his office, stood up, stopped his speech, and shouted: "This is the territory of the Soviet Union, what are you going to do?" ”
"Who's the head of you here?" A Russian-speaking soldier asked.
Kimitradarsky pretended to be heroic and upright, and said very pretendly: "I am Kimitradarsky, the mayor of Severobaikalsk, the Buryatia Autonomous Republic of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and on behalf of the Soviet political axe, I formally protest to you, the Chinese political axe, to protest against you."
"That's it! Come on! Cao Shishu waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Kimitradarski's dripping. Said: "Xiao Zhang, you tell this bastard to shut up for me and announce to him the order of the governor of the Chinese province of Baikal." Then send them to the basement and lock them up, starve them for three days, and see if he pretends to be b? ”
"Good!" The Russian-speaking soldier Xiao Zhang agreed, and then said in Russian to the mayor of Severobaikalsk: "You bastard, listen! I am now instructed to announce to you the decree of Chiang Kai-shek, Governor of the Baikal Province of the People's Republic of China, that this is the territory of the People's Republic of China, that the Chinese political axe is the only legal political axe here, and that all the administrative organs at all levels that have previously been here shall no longer perform any political axe functions and shall be dissolved.
Soviet nationals living here must strictly abide by the laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China. Soviet residents who are willing to continue to live on this land will enjoy the same rights and treatment as Chinese as long as they renounce their original Soviet citizenship. For those Soviet residents who do not want to stay here, we at the Baikal Provincial Government will give these Soviet residents a relocation fee of 300 dollars each, and we will hand over these Soviet residents to the Soviet government as soon as possible."
"This is where our ancestors have lived for generations, why should we listen to you Chinese?" Kimitradarski mumbled.
"Don't fucking shame on you, who are you bastards? Why don't you listen to the Chinese? If Lao Tzu hadn't seen that you might have been the yellow skin left by Old Man Su Wu, I would have killed you! Xiao Zhang looked at Kimitradarsky and his gang with a very disdainful expression, and truthfully translated Cao Shishu's answer.
"Tell them that the stronghold of Russia's colonial policy and expansionism to the east no longer exists, and that the 300-year history of Russian rule over the Baikal region is now over. We are the real masters of Lake Baikal, and from now on Baikal will be the Baikal of China! ”
