Chapter 573 Revenge

At the beginning of July, the 206th Division of the Chinese Soviet Union entered Kazakhstan. After the defeat of Germany www.biquge.info the 206th Division received an order from the Chinese high command to return from Poland via Kazakhstan. The train rushed on the green fertile field, and the hearts of the officers and men of the whole division flew to the motherland. Three lengthened trains formed a column and traveled along the railway line that could not be seen at a distance, and a passenger car was attached to the central train, on which the headquarters of the 206th Division was located.

In August 1943, the Chinese battlefield entered a major counteroffensive. According to the proposal of the Americans, in order to help Soviet Russia fight against Germany, the Nationalist Government decided to send troops into the Soviet-German battlefield. The 206th Division became the number of the troops going abroad to fight, and the division was equipped with a T26 tank regiment and two motorized infantry regiments, all of which were equipped with Soviet-style equipment. The division commander is Major General Ma Ganzu, deputy division commander Zhang Chengye, and chief of staff Zhao Manxiong. The commander of the 2nd Armored Regiment Jiang Weiguo (the second son of Lao Jiang), the commander of the 9th Motorized Regiment Ji Huisi, and the commander of the 10th Motorized Regiment Xie Junzhou. The division belongs to the 2nd Search Battalion, Anti-Artillery Battalion, Anti-Tank Battalion, Engineer Battalion, and Maintenance Battalion. The division belongs to the 5th Mechanized Infantry Battalion and the 36th Communications Battalion of the division, with a total strength of 12,000 people.

The 206th Division was formed on the basis of the remaining troops of the 5th Army, and Ouyang Jian had commanded the 5th Army in the Battle of Guinan that year, when Ma Jiazu was the commander of the tank regiment. In September of the same year, the 206th Division arrived in Ukraine, where it repeatedly belonged to the Steppe Front and participated in the Battle of Kursk. The 206th Division fought very bravely, and the deputy division commander Zhang Chengye was killed in the battle. Later, with the Soviet counteroffensive, the 20th Division participated in the liberation of Ukraine and Belarus, and then followed the central cluster into Poland to fight.

Among the Kursk presidents, Jiang Weiguo, the son of the elder Chiang, was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal by the Soviet Russian High Command for his outstanding performance. It was such a unit that established meritorious and bloody battles in the Great Patriotic War of Soviet Russia, and Stalin, who was annoyed and angry, shamelessly stretched out his black hand to it. They and the Soviet army were originally comrades-in-arms, but they died under the butcher's knives of their comrades-in-arms, which is sad, lamentable, and infuriating. This is a true portrayal of a nation's cowardice, but the Chinese nation, which has risen in the flames of war, will never ignore the occurrence of this tragedy.

At this time, on the central train, division commander Ma Ganzu and chief of staff Zhao Manxiong looked at the green grassland outside the window and were extremely excited. But they knew that the Outer Mongolian grassland was sharpening its knives, and a big war was about to break out. "Commander, I'm about to return to China, and I'm very excited." Chief of Staff Zhao Manxiong was impressed. "Yes, I didn't expect Japan to surrender so soon, I was originally going to return to China to fight, but now it seems that we are going to disarm and return to the field." "Division commander, I heard that the Eighth Route Army has formed a new armored unit, and the tank fighting vehicles are of our own production."

"If I can drive my own tank, I have no regrets in my life." The train began to slow down, and a small station appeared ahead. After the train stopped, an operational staff officer reported: "Report, a Soviet major has asked to see you!" Soon a Soviet major appeared in front of him on the train. The two sides exchanged military salutes, "Report General, I am Major Dzerzhinsky, and by order of the Southern Front Command, since Akdouka is repairing the railway junction, I ordered your unit to get off here. ”

"How far is this station from Akdouka!" "About 20 km!" Since there was no railway further east of Akdouka, the original plan was to get off at Akdouka and return home by road. "Comrade General, we have prepared oil and provisions, if you need anything, please tell me." At this time, the Soviet army did not embarrass them, because the Akdouka railway bridge was damaged by a group of bandits, causing the opening of traffic to be interrupted. The troops disembarked at this small station and advanced the next morning by road in the direction of Akdouka.

The 206th Division crossed Tashkent smoothly and advanced eastward to Lal in the east. The troops arrived in Lal precisely on July 18, the day when the Soviet army did not attack much in the Outer Mongolian steppe and suffered heavy losses. To the north of Lal are the Alahu and Kohl lakes, and the two lakes have a spectacular view from Lal. It was dusk when the troops arrived at Lal, and the division commander Ma Ganzu decided to rest in Lal for one night and recuperate enough to rush tomorrow.

"Commander, look at the lake and mountains, the scenery is so beautiful! In two days, I will be in the territory of my homeland, and my mood is very urgent. "Chief of Staff Zhao Manxiong took advantage of the scenery to make love." I think all the officers and men are in this mood as well, and they are eager to fly back to the motherland as soon as possible. "Report to the division commander, a group of Soviet cavalry has appeared in the south!" An operations staff officer has a keen sense of smell. "Strange, what are the Soviet cavalry here for?" Chief of Staff Zhao Manxiong was confused.

The division commander Ma Qianzu did not squeak, and a bad omen was born in his heart. The Soviet cavalry that appeared was a cavalry regiment, the Soviet cavalry did not seem to be hostile, and at a stone's throw away, the Soviet cavalry stopped advancing. Soon, the commander of the Soviet cavalry came to the front and said: "Report to the general, it is very regrettable that we have received an order from the Southern Command that your unit must leave tanks and heavy weapons behind, and light weapons can be taken away!" After speaking, the commander of the Su Corps stepped forward and handed the text of the order to Ma Ganzu.

Ma Ganzu took the text and checked it, and sure enough, it was an order issued by the Soviet High Command. At present, the troops are on the territory of Soviet Russia, and it is their duty to carry out orders, but Ma Ganzu is unwilling to leave the equipment so easily. "Comrade Major, the stakes are very high, we must inform the country, and we will reply to you tomorrow morning?" The commander of the Soviet Army was polite and said that it was understandable. In fact, this is a conspiracy of the Soviet army, intended to buy time.

The situation was urgent, and Ma Ganzu immediately convened a meeting of the main generals and sent a report to the country at the same time. At the meeting, everyone was not in agreement, and some believed that it was acceptable to leave heavy weapons behind, and that the war was over, and there was nothing to return these weapons and equipment to the Soviet army. Some people think that it is reasonable to help the Soviet army fight bloodily, and it is reasonable to bring these equipment back to China, and the Soviet Russians are too unrighteous. When the dissenting generals were arguing, a communications officer walked in.

"Report, emergency call from the Ministry of Defense!" Ma Ganzu hurriedly took the telegram and checked it, only to see that the telegram read: On July 15, the Soviet army suddenly launched an attack on the defenders of our outer Mongolian Branch. The 34th Army of the 2nd Corps of the National Revolutionary Army fought bloodily for 3 days, and with the support of the 16th Division of the Eighth Route Army, it won a great victory in the defense of the Section. A military conflict has broken out between China and the Soviet Union, and your ministry is in a dangerous situation. The high command decided to agree to the Soviet demands, leave heavy weapons, and return home as soon as possible.

After reading the telegram, Ma Qianzu handed it to the generals to review. "Division commander, since the Ministry of Defense has agreed to leave heavy weapons, we should not hesitate, we will have long nights and dreams, and return to China as soon as possible." Ji Huisi, commander of the 9th Motorized Rifle Regiment, agreed. "I agree!" Xie Junzhou, commander of the 10th Motorized Regiment, agreed. Many generals also agreed. Only Jiang Weiguo, the commander of the 2nd Tank Regiment, did not express his position, and Ma Qianzu's eyes were naturally fixed on him.

Jiang Weiguo is also a relative of the emperor, and Ma Qianzu must ask for his opinion at this time. Jiang Weiguo saw that everyone was staring at him and said: "Commander, as the saying goes, the general will not be subject to the king's life outside. The Ministry of Defense does not know what is actually happening here. Lao Maozi has never had integrity, if we hand over our heavy weapons, they will turn their faces and deny people, and we will not even have the ability to resist! "Division commander, what Commander Jiang said is reasonable, the Soviet army has suffered losses in Outer Mongolia, and it is possible to attack our idea!" Chief of Staff Zhao Manxiong reconsidered.

When the generals heard this, they were not clamoring, and the chief officials decided what to do. "Division commander, there is only one Soviet cavalry regiment beside us, there is no large Soviet army nearby, and the Soviet cavalry regiment can't help us. Lal is a day and a half away from Alashankou, and it will be safe as long as we enter the country. Jiang Weiguo spoke again. Division Commander, Commander Jiang's proposal is completely feasible, when the decision continues, there will be troubles, make up your mind! Chief of Staff Zhao Manxiong clamored.

Ma Ganzu stood up and said, "Order all departments to prepare, and set off in an hour!" Captain Jiang! "Here!" "After the troops leave, leave a tank battalion behind!" "Yes!" As soon as it was dark, the troops set off in a mighty way, which went very smoothly, and the Soviet cavalry regiment did not come up to entangle. At this time, the commander of the Soviet cavalry looked at the 206th Division hurrying on the road, with a sneer on his face. "Send a report to Admiral Ivan immediately, the Chinese have taken the bait!"

In fact, when Ma Qianzu led the 206th Division on the road, he embarked on a road of no return. Stalin ordered the command of the Southern Front to destroy the 206th Division and never allow this unit to return home. However, in order to hide people's eyes, the Soviet army was ordered not to move on the territory of Kazakhstan. The headquarters of the Southern Front of the Soviet Army, receiving Stalin's order, quickly began to deploy. After careful study, the Soviet army chose the ambush site in Alashankou China.
