May 4, 1939. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Spring has arrived.

Spring had already arrived in southern and central Manchuria, and at the end of March it began to thaw, with a few strong winds blowing darkly. Then, spring came. In mid-April, the willows sprout and the wild vegetables come out.

This is different in the area of Nomenkan, where the season is 20 days late in spring and 20 days to a month earlier in winter. The reason is very simple, this is on the west side of the Great Khing'an Mountains, and the cold wind in Siberia is blocked by the Great Khing'an Mountains, and the climate on both sides of the Great Khing'an Mountains is so different.

The life of the Mongols is like this, they live by grazing, what is herding, is to ride horses, drive cattle and sheep to places where there is water and grass, so that the livestock can eat, eat, eat, eat. A day passed. Then drive the livestock back. It's a day's life.

Stretch the time period a little longer, and what if this piece of grass is eaten up? Put the tent away, go to another place, put the tent up, and graze the cattle. Walk again, graze again. It's called nomadism. Nomadic peoples are called nomads.

When you arrive at the pastoral area, you will see the bare mountains and the meadows are like carpets, and the scenery is very beautiful. In fact, if you care a little bit about the ecological balance, you will know that it is the livestock that gnaw away the grass, and if there are more livestock and the weather is drier, then the grassland will be desertified. So the grass is like a carpet, and this kind of scenery can cause conflict.

All the plots are conflicted, and the life of the Mongols, here is the life of the traditional Mongols, and there are also conflicts. When the population is small, there is usually less livestock. At this time, the grassland recuperates, and the aquatic plants begin to plump.

When the water and grass are fertile, the livestock will eat desperately, and when the season comes, they will desperately reproduce and reproduce. So there was more meat. When there is more meat, people multiply, and so there are more people. When there are more people, there is not enough grass. So everyone grabbed the water and grass, and then the conflict came.

This kind of conflict between primitive tribes would be interesting if it was mixed with such a thing as the state. On this side of a country, the grassland is desertified, and on the other side of the river, the water and grass are abundant, because the river is the boundary of the country, it is not allowed to cross, isn't this gluttonous?

The river, called the Halaha River, flows down from the northwest slope of the Great Khing'an Mountains, reaches the plain, turns westward, and flows into the Bear Lake, where the Hulunbuir Prairie. There is a name in the Soviet Union, which is translated back into Chinese from the Soviet Union, called the Khalkhin River.

The place where the conflict took place is called Nomenkan, also known as Nomenhan. Whoever says which name it refers to is a place, and it is said to be related to a lama named Nomenhan.

With the state, ordinary shepherds are not good, so the army is required to intervene. On the west bank of the river is Mongolia, and on the east bank of the river is Manchukuo. The 24th Border Guard of the Mongolian Army waded from the west bank to the area east of the Haraha River for grazing.

The conflict played out according to the old script.

Manchuria, the 3rd Company of the Puppet Xing'an Garrison Cavalry stationed at the Xilin Taola outpost had all a squad of soldiers, very vegetable. No matter what the dish, it was also a soldier, riding a horse under his crotch, and a musket in his hand. Come to us for grazing? Shoot! Run? Get on the horse and chase! Drive the Mongol herdsmen and horses back to the west bank.

The Mongolian army is also not a vegetarian.

Mongolian army, the guns are Soviet, although they are old robberies; The training was Soviet, albeit not so elaborate, but there were Soviet advisers, so it was good.

There were also many people at the 7th border post of the Mongolian army, with more than 50 cavalry. They saw that the cavalry of Manchukuo had driven back their herds of horses and horses, and they also released their guns. Come on!

As a result, the Mongol army captured the puppet Manchurian Xilin Tauragai post in the disputed area.

Colonel Guo Wentong of the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the Xing'an North Garrison Army of the puppet Manchukuo reported that the Mongolian army occupied Xilin Tauragai. Hailar and Xinjing quickly learned the news.

After the conflict, some people were overjoyed, and some people applauded.

Who's applauding?

The above is the most ordinary border conflict. If the two countries are friendly, then it is easy to say, everyone appeases the soldiers or border people in the conflict, and then everything is fine.

If you are not happy, but you don't want to cause trouble, then appease the border people, express dissatisfaction, regret, protest, express strong protest, and then say that such and such a place has been an inalienable territory of our country since ancient times, and so on. Just don't fight.

If it really doesn't work, then hit a guy in a limited way.

In any case, after the conflict, it is unhappy.

Who's applauding?

Japan, Kwantung Army, Kwantung Army General Staff Headquarters, Masanobu Tsuji.

Masanobu Tsuji, surname Tsuji, name Masanobu. To review it again, the word Tsuji, which looks like it lacks arms and legs, is actually a Japanese kanji, which is a legal character in Chinese theory. The pronunciation is 2510 of ten. Ten of ten donkeys. Ten of ten foxes, nine of ten little Japanese men are ten of things that are not things.

We want to focus on the person Masanobu Tsuji, and again, he is one of the negative protagonists of this volume.

Masanobu Tsuji always aims at the best person in life. When I was a child, I was going to be a teacher, then I was a soldier, and then I was Ishihara.

When he was in school, he was a fanatic, graduating either as the chief or in the top three.

When he entered the army, his goal was very simple, that is, to become a general. Anything can be done for this purpose.

However, his thinking does not seem to have much merit except for the lower gram, and the idol Ishihara Waner is engaged in Manchuria, okay, I will engage in the Soviet Union. If the idol is engaged in the Chinese army, I will engage in the Soviet army.

Xinjing seems to be a very auspicious place for him, because he can always display his talents in Xinjing. In 1937, after arguing with many people in North China, he went to the General Staff Headquarters of the Kwantung Army as a staff officer.

The commander of the Kwantung Army, General Kenkichi Ueda, was the commander of the 9th Division of Kanazawa, where Masanobu Tsuji had stayed. The chief of staff, Lieutenant General Hideki Tojo, is also the head of the Establishment and Mobilization Division of the General Staff Headquarters where Masanobu Tsuji has stayed. After Hideki Tojo stepped down, he took over as Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya, who served as the wing commander of the 7th Infantry Wing of Masanobu Tsuji. Can Masanobu Tsuji be as good as a fish in water?

This time to the Kwantung Army, he produced results again. The "Outline for the Handling of Manchu-Soviet Border Disputes" was issued by him in the name of the old governor, General Kenkichi Ueda, which is amazing.

So what's this compendium? The 14 points in the outline are border issues. Main contents:1. I will not offend anyone, and I will not allow anyone to offend me." This is the fundamental stance of the Kwantung Army on the border line. If it was necessary to raid and annihilate the Soviet troops (including the Outer Mongolian Army) that crossed the border, then "temporarily entered the territory of the USSR." ”

2. In areas where the border line is not clear, the defense commander of each region may "demarcate the border line at his own discretion",

And to tell the front-line troops clearly.

3. In the event of a dispute, the front-line troops are required to "take resolute and resolute action" and to "trust the higher command" in dealing with the resulting situation. That is to say, you will beat people, and I will carry the black pot.

What does it mean, the fundamental meaning is not to take the Soviet army in mind at all.

Masanobu Tsuji was happy that it was because of this conflict that the Kwantung Army Command had to face up to the promulgation of the outline he had drafted.
