Chapter 015: Marching into the Tangnu Uliang Sea
The Kulen War was still going on, both sides were increasing their troops, and Wang Hanzhang transferred the newly formed rocket artillery division, which was also the only rocket artillery division in China, but it had not yet reached the front line.
Rocket artillery is not a new weapon, and it was mass-equipped in both Germany and the Soviet Union. However, everyone is a six-barreled rocket launcher, Wang Hanzhang is equipped with a 9-tube rocket launcher, and the 12-tube rocket launcher is still under development, and the performance is unstable, so it is not installed.
In Xinjiang, Sheng Shicai's troops had been incorporated into the Socialist Party, and most of Sheng Shicai's troops were cavalry, and the Socialist Party had expanded and improved on the basis of Sheng Shicai's existing arsenal, and the production line had been gradually changed to a formal rifle production line by technicians who had been airlifted over.
The second part of the Socialist Party was already in Xinjiang, and the Socialist Party troops, who had already arrived in Xinjiang, sent part of the army to take over the main cities, and the rest of the cavalry of Sheng Shicai, who had been recruited, headed north to Wusu Yalitai.
Wusu Yalitai has always been the capital of Outer Mongolia before Outer Mongolia, and even now it is the second largest city in Outer Mongolia, the most important city and strategic location in western Western Outer Mongolia.
In the western part of Usuyalitai there are a large number of lakes and rivers, and there is abundant water and grass here. In addition, further west, there is the Tangnu-Ulianghai area occupied by Soviet Russia, where the soil is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, and the resources are innumerable.
Tangnu Ulianghai, located in the northwest of Outer Mongolia, north to the Sayan Mountains, south to the Tangnu Mountains, is a basin surrounded by mountains, an area of 170,000 square kilometers, the population of 52,300 people in 1913, an area of 170,000 square kilometers, mainly Tuvan people.
Tangnu Wulianghai is a part of Wulianghai in the Qing Dynasty. During the Qianlong period, it was attached to the Qing Dynasty and was organized into five banners, which were under the direct jurisdiction of General Uriya Sutai. Originally, Tangnu-Ulianghai was not part of Outer Mongolia (Khalkha Department), and it was an inner Mongolia without Zasak. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of Russian immigrants entered the Tangnu-Ulianghai. After 1911, the Tangnu-Ulianghai was controlled by Russia. In 1913, China and Russia declared that Tangnu Ulianghai and Kobdo were included in the "Outer Mongolia Autonomous Region". In 1919, it was once recovered by the squadron. In 1921, the Bolshevik Party established the "Donnu-Tuva People's Republic" in Tangnu-Ulianghai, which was soon renamed the Tuva People's Republic, and the Soviet Union recognized it as an independent state. In 1944, it was renamed the "Tuva Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic" and was incorporated into the Soviet Russian Federation. Now Tangnu-Ulianghai remains a republic of the Russian Federation and is part of the Siberian Federal District. The government of the Republic of China has not recognized,
Tuvans currently make up 77 per cent of the population. The Tuvans are a branch of the Mongolian ethnic group, known as the Wulianghai people in the Ming Dynasty, and later migrated to the Tangnu Ulianghai region and changed their names to the Tuvans or Tuwa. Another view is that the Tuvans belong to a branch of the Turkic people, and the evidence includes that the Tuvans are recognized as belonging to the Turkic language family rather than to the language family. The Tang Dynasty belonged to the Dubo in Tiele, ruled by the Turks and the Hui, and the Yuan Dynasty was called Bald, and it was the common people in the forest.
After the Soviet Union annexed the Tangnu-Ulianghai, it was divided into three parts: the Republic of Tuva and the Republic of Altai in the Russian Federation, and the Kusugul Province in Mongolia. However, since the latter two parts are in fact no longer traceable of the Tangnu-Ulianghai region, the usual reference to the Tangnu-Ulianghai region refers to the Republic of Tuva in the Russian Federation. The Republic of Tuva is currently a major administrative unit of the Russian Federation, part of the Siberian Federal District, with its capital in Kyzyl.
Although it is far from the interior and it is not convenient to fight, Wang Hanzhang still decided to give it a try, and if he loses, he will at least tell Soviet Russia that we will defend the territory of the Chinese nation with blood, and even if we fail this time, we will come again.
Therefore, the significance of the Socialist Party's march this time is very significant, and Wang Hanzhang clearly told Mao Weiguo that the land of Tangnu Wulianghai will also be classified as part of their party-state in the future, so if it can be occupied and operated now, it is naturally the best.
In addition, the recovery of this fertile land can also threaten the important industrial base of Soviet Russia in the western part of the region, which will be of great significance for next year's war.
The biggest difficulty for the Socialist army to march into Usuyalitai was not the enemy, but nature, which was very barren and desert and mountainous, and it was very difficult to supply, and it was difficult for Wang Hanzhang to give them more supplies, and the number of planes was too small for transportation to be inconvenient.
The Socialist army swept through the local bandits along the way, and killed them directly. Most of these people are secretly supported by Soviet Russia, and if they are not killed but let them go, then there will be endless troubles, and then they will definitely harm the place.
The Socialist army marched into Outer Mongolia to eliminate the bandits and puppet Mongolian troops in the area, and at the same time expelled all whites, which aroused great concern in the Soviet Union, and Stalin also asked the negotiators to protest to Zhou Wen against the squadron's entry into the area, and at the same time protest against the squadron's rough treatment of Soviet nationals. Zhou Wenxin said that it is also called expatriate, a group of barbarians, and the final result of the negotiation can be imagined. , the two sides naturally broke up unhappily.
But now that the war has started, Zhou Wen, as the prime minister of the country, naturally can't always stay in the Soviet Union, after receiving the order, Zhou Wen and others officially set off to return to China, closing the channel for negotiations.
Stalin was furious that the Chinese side could come and go as soon as they wanted, but he had no reason to detain the Chinese representatives, otherwise the Socialists would not know what to do with the immigrants in Tangnu-Ulianghai.
Stalin believed that the Chinese side did not talk about it now, and it was completely ineffective for a while, and the other thing was that the Chinese side had taken some advantage in the previous war, although it was nothing, but for China, which had been oppressed by Western countries for more than 100 years, that victory was enough to inflate their national self-confidence.
Stalin was most worried about this, there is no point more important than the self-confidence of a nation, as long as the self-confidence of this nation is gone, then just like China in the past, it has a quarter of the world's population, but it is oppressed and invaded everywhere, and these countries that invade them except for Russia and the United States, the rest of the world cannot compare with China in terms of land area, population, and economic aggregate.
Now China is using the Soviet Union to find its own self-confidence step by step. Remembering the huge population of China, if these people had regained their self-confidence, Stalin could not have imagined how terrible the consequences would be. When the time comes, the Soviet Union, which is next to itself and has caused the greatest harm to itself, will inevitably have revenge and revenge.
Without the German attack, Stalin would not have felt frightened at all, but with Germany, when the time comes, will China and Germany be flanked from both sides, will the Soviet Union be able to hold on?
Now return the territory to China and make peace? Stalin was afraid that China and Germany had reached an agreement, and that they would attack the Soviet Union if they took back their territory. If it were him, he would definitely do it, so that at least the security problem that had been plaguing northern China would be completely solved, so he couldn't believe that China would not do this.
Stalin can now only hope that Britain and the United States will launch a counteroffensive in Europe as soon as possible, only in this way can the Soviet Union avoid the disaster of national destruction, and the only country that really has the ability to completely destroy the Soviet Union is Germany, and China is nothing more than a plague of moss, at least for now. But at a time when Germany, a henchman, was already about to kill the Soviet Union, if the plague of China broke out, then the polar bear of the Soviet Union would inevitably die.
Stalin once again summoned the British and American ambassadors, saying that the Soviet Union was very likely to be attacked by China and Germany, and demanded that Britain and the United States increase material assistance and at the same time carry out a reactionary counteroffensive in Europe as soon as possible, otherwise the Soviet Union will perish, and Britain and the United States may not be able to escape alone. Stalin made no mention of how the Soviet Union would resolve its territorial dispute with China.
The British and American ambassadors knew in their hearts that Stalin was weak-minded, but even at this time Stalin still did not let go, and they had to admire this stubborn polar bear.
At the same time, the ambassadors of the two countries complained that Stalin had never done anything except to support and counterattack, as if Stalin had settled on Britain and the United States.
The British ambassador said: "Comrade Stalin (Stalin likes to call him as this is what the British and American ambassadors call him), in order to ensure the final victory, we all gave up immediately taking revenge on the Chinese, but if we want to counterattack, we are also very willing, but the Japanese do not agree, is it that if we give up India, they will not want to attack in the Middle East?" If they take Persia, do you think they will attack Central Asia? ”
"Now we are in a difficult situation, giving up India, not only India, but also Persia, without Persia in hand, where will we transport supplies to you."
The American ambassador had already been instructed by Roosevelt, "Yes, it's not that we don't want to give up India and return to Europe to counterattack Germany as soon as possible, but it will be more dangerous to give up. Isn't it for the sake of the Soviet Union that the United States cannot hold Europe and Africa, and cannot defend the Americas across the Atlantic Ocean according to the national strength of the United States? ”
The British ambassador did not want to be kidnapped by Stalin again, "If the Soviet Union really perished, we could only abandon our homeland and go to Canada, at least together with the United States, we are still confident that we will keep North America." ”
Stalin vomited blood in his heart, it seems that people cannot always be single, otherwise one day they will not be useful.
