Chapter 012: Sun Liren Fights Wendur Khan
After the 88th Army was replenished, it continued to advance on Cullen on September 20. At this time, Sun Liren's army attacking from Rehe also took Siouert, and the 100,000 army under the personal command of Wei Lihuang continued to fight fiercely with the Soviet army in Choibalshan, which was too close to the Soviet Union, and the Soviet army could easily get a large number of supplies, but for Wei Lihuang, his own supplies were not as convenient as the Soviet army.
In view of the fiasco of Sainshanda, Stalin decided to meet the squadron in Kulen, in order to be able to control Outer Mongolia, the Soviet Union had built a railway to Kulen, where the first battle was convenient for supplies and the second was that it was more difficult for the squadron to replenish.
In addition, Stalin thought that if it was really not possible, he would withdraw from Outer Mongolia, and Stalin believed that China was not ready for a full-scale war, so as long as the Soviet Union withdrew from Outer Mongolia and then held on to other places, then China would not start a war easily.
In fact, Stalin really guessed correctly, according to the current strength of China, especially the lack of aircraft, artillery, and tanks, Wang Hanzhang was not sure that he would be able to face hundreds of thousands of well-equipped Soviet troops, and at the same time, it was about to come to a harsh winter, which was not suitable for a large-scale offensive, so it was more appropriate to simply wait for the beginning of spring next year to attack.
At the same time, for the sake of Beijing's security, moving the capital to Beijing has been recognized by both the Kuomintang and the Socialist Party, and now there are Qin and Dali in the south to guard, and the threat to China is not in the south, but in the north, and moving the capital to Beijing can just deal with China's two biggest enemies, the Soviet Union and Japan.
The deeper you go into the hinterland of Outer Mongolia, the closer you get to the Soviet Union, the greater the influence of the Soviet Union, and the troops are cautious, and at the same time, Wahaha sends some of the elite from Fu Zuoyi's department to Sayin Shanda and the cities in southern Outer Mongolia in order to control these places.
When the Qin army regained Outer Mongolia in a big way, 10 members of the Socialist Party army, which had been reorganized, left for Xinjiang. In any case, Wang Hanzhang only gave 300,000 people a salary, and in addition, all their weapons were replaced with Chuntian-style rifles, the caliber was unified, and the other weapons were left for militia training.
China's current lack of a nationally used rifle is also the most troublesome thing, and Wang Hanzhang is also unable to do so. And the caliber of artillery is also different, each country has rifles, and each country has artillery.
At present, the largest number of rifles are the Japanese Type 38 rifle, the American Springfield rifle, and the Chinese self-produced Zhongzheng, and the caliber of the three main gun types is also different, so there is really no way to replenish it.
As for the Japanese rifles, Wang Hanzhang has ordered people to collect these weapons, and intends to sell them to the Japanese at a low price, but Japan is short of materials, and if they sell them cheaper, I believe they should be willing to ask for them, otherwise they will not be able to produce them.
On the rifle, Wang Hanzhang finally insisted on the practical formal rifle, after all, he already had more than two million in China, and the soldiers stationed in the south used the American Chuntian rifle, the Chuntian rifle was only equipped in Qin, and it was also in Dali, who called Wang Hanzhang before the capture of the British material base, the curtain wall Chuntian type in China has about 800,000.
After taking Outer Mongolia, Wang Hanzhang will equip all the troops in the north, including the Qin army, with formal or dragon assault rifles, and now the Socialist army is all equipped with formal rifles and some imitation American submachine guns, and secondly, the caliber of artillery should also be uniform.
These things are just the meaning of one sentence, and they involve all aspects when they are done.
The Sichuan side has already begun to change the production line of the Chuntian rifle obtained from the United States into a formal production line, and the other is to build more production lines for Dragon assault rifles.
Therefore, although all parties in China are very worried about the realization of automation, although automatic weapons are good, but the consumption is too large, they are worried that they can't afford that kind of consumption, but Wang Hanzhang doesn't think so.
As long as the best weapons are practical for the best soldiers, then they can definitely be used as hundreds, of course, if they are used by those opium soldiers, it will be really wasted. Wang Hanzhang finally showed a clear explanation, and then he had to fight hard to get these people to support the full production of the Zhongzheng Helong assault rifle.
If it weren't for the fact that China's foundation was too thin, Wang Hanzhang wouldn't even want a formal rifle.
A week later, that is, on September 27, Dai Anlan and Sun Liren cautiously advanced to Kulen and Wendur Khan, and did not encounter resistance from the Soviet army along the way, only a lot of puppet Mongolian troops always came to sneak attack, and the two had to divide their troops to pursue these traitorous thieves, and at the same time, the bandit forces next door also suffered, and they were wiped out together.
However, the 88th Army and the New 38th Army were used to deal with the Soviet Army, not to deal with these scumbags, so the task of encirclement and suppression was all handed over to Fu Zuoyi.
Wang Hanzhang still has a great impression of Fu Zuoyi, his ability is also outstanding, and he has been running Suiyuan for more than ten years, so this opportunity to make a name for himself was given to him, and Fu Zuoyi was also very happy to accept it.
At the same time, the troops of the three horses in the northwest were also requisitioned by Wang Hanzhang, and the three horses were promised to be with high-ranking officials, and although they had some strength in their hands, no one felt the confrontation of the Chongqing government at the moment, and the establishment of a coalition government was the will of the people, no matter how deep-rooted their power was in the local area, but the three northwestern provinces were too barren and too small in population to confront the central government, so they could only obediently hand over military power if they did not want to die.
The troops of the three horses are all cavalry, which provides a good means of transportation for entering Mongolia, and it is also very useful for clearing out horse bandits and puppet Mongolian troops, otherwise the two legs of the Qin army will not be able to run over the four-legged horses.
According to the report of the intelligence agent who realized the placement in Kulun, the Soviet army concentrated a large number of troops in Kunlun, and Dai Anlan had a hunch that the Soviet army might want to come to a big war.
The Dai Anlan division has been strengthened, the 88th Army has been reorganized to 50,000 people, and at the same time, Fu Zuoyi's 1 division and the three cavalry divisions drawn from the Sanma side have also rushed to join Dai Anlan, with a total of more than 80,000 people.
The Chinese Air Force was also stationed in Outer Mongolia to support Dai Anlan and Sun Liren's troops at any time.
In this matter, Stalin has ordered a mechanized division from the Far Eastern Military Region to Zhou Liang again, three infantry divisions plus the Soviet troops who fled from Sainshanda and stayed behind, a total of more than 70,000 people, plus three divisions of the puppet Mongolian army, more than 20,000 people, a total of more than 100,000 people, more than Dai Anlan's troops, and at the same time, the Soviet army's weapons and equipment supplies are convenient, while Dai Anlan's supply is more difficult, fortunately, Wang Hanzhang cares more about air transportation, so Qin produced more than 50 transport planes to solve part of the supply, But in the face of the powerful air power of Soviet Russia, Wang Hanzhang's heart was also apprehensive, how difficult it was to produce those planes by himself, but it only took a moment to be killed.
On the evening of the 27th, Sun Liren's troops first encountered a division of puppet Mongolian troops stationed in Öndörkhan and a regiment of Soviet troops, but there was no fighting, only a small-scale exchange of fire.
Sun Liren was also a general of a hundred battles, and before entering Mongolia, he carefully analyzed the topographical conditions of Outer Mongolia and the characteristics of the puppet Mongolian army. In fact, the puppet Mongolian army is all cavalry like the army of the three horses in the northwest, Sun Liren is not worried about not being able to defeat these people, what he is worried about is that once these people have a storm, they will inevitably run away at that time, it is still quite difficult for Sun Liren to pursue, his troops are still mainly infantry, and they can't run four-legged horses.
Öndörkhan is a small city in eastern Outer Mongolia and the capital of Kent province. In the upper reaches of the Krulun River, it is also on the north side of the Krulun River, 291.3 kilometers west of Ulaanbaatar. Because of the abundance of water and grass, the population is still relatively large, with more than 6,000 people. It is one of the most developed cities in Outer Mongolia.
In 1206, Genghis Khan established the Mongol regime on the banks of the Tsuan River near Öndörkhan, which became the capital of the Yuan Dynasty until Kublai Khan moved south.
Later, on September 13, 1971, the plot of the armed coup d'état was revealed, and the plane crashed in the Subraga Basin of Idelmog County, Mongolia, about 60 kilometers away from Öndörkhan.
Because Wendur Khan was on the north side of the river, Sun Liren was facing the Soviet army across the river at this time, and after hearing about the garrison of Wendur Khan, Sun Liren decided to launch an attack and deal with these enemies as soon as possible.
The exchange of fire on the night of the 27th alerted the Soviet troops, but Sun Liren was the same, and now the Soviet army has been alerted to the inevitable strengthening of defense, if it drags on until dawn, the Soviet army will still have planes to help in the war, and the Chinese planes are relatively few, and Sun Liren's troops will definitely suffer very large losses at that time.
Entering the night, Sun Liren let the troops rest for 3 hours and then launched an attack, he had already heard clearly, the main ones in the city were the puppet Mongolian army, and the fighting will of these armies was not strong, not to mention that their numbers were twice as large as the enemy, and there were no planes to help them fight at night, and their profits were far more than the other party.
Ling Cheng 1 o'clock, Sun Liren's artillery brigade across the river first carried out saturation shelling of Öndörkhan on the other side of the river. Then the Soviet artillery also wanted the new 38th Army to retaliate and counterattack, but the puppet Mongolian army was backward, and the Soviet Union never intended to treat them as its own people, so the rifle was the same as the Soviet army, but the artillery was pitiful, and the Soviet army stationed in a regiment in Öndörkhan also had only one artillery battalion, more than a dozen artillery, which was not the opponent of the new 38th Army at all. Soon they were killed or found a place to hide.
