Chapter 155 Historical Choices

After receiving the report that the Battle of Shemipaldinsk was over, and that our mechanized corps had completely annihilated three infantry divisions, one cavalry division, and one tank regiment of the Soviet Army, totaling more than 28,000 people, at the cost of less than 500 casualties, and had wiped out the vital forces of the Soviet Central Asian Military Region in the northeastern region of Kazakhstan, An Yi was very happy and immediately sent a congratulatory telegram to General Yin Jinan, commander of the Mongolian Military Region, and Lieutenant General Mu Chaiyi, deputy commander and chief of staff of the Military Region, who had been transferred from the General Staff before the war, congratulating him on the first key victory in the operation into Kazakhstan. At the same time, he encouraged all units to make persistent efforts, guard against arrogance and rashness, and strive to win another brilliant victory in future battles against the Soviet Union.

General Yang Fei, deputy chief of the General Staff, who had finished reasoning about the battle process in front of the sand table, said a little strangely: "How can the Soviets be so clear about the route of our attack?" Semypaldinsk is an important town in the northeast of Kazakhstan, with excellent transportation in all directions, attacking from north to south, and can also go south from Kuronda (now Kulunda), Pavlodar (now Baprolodar) and Ekibastuz, but the Soviet army in the above areas has not built a defensive line, that is, the Soviets are sure that we will attack from Rubtsovsk, which is quite suspicious! ”

Liu Qing, director of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, knew what Yang Fei was suspicious of, and was a little disapproving: "It shouldn't be our problem...... Now that the Far Eastern Republic is in turmoil, there must be many people who are shaken, and it is normal for Moscow to be able to detect the movement lines of our army and then make judgments and preset positions only through the spies of the railway and highway systems. In fact, I think it would be better for the Soviet army to take the initiative to assemble to meet the battle, which will greatly facilitate our frontal breakthrough! If they dig into the ravine to fight guerrillas, we will really have a headache! ”

An Yi frowned: "Liu Qing, you yourself are an intelligence officer, you should know that if there is a leak within us, it will be an extremely terrible thing, and our mechanized cluster was secretly transferred by railway and driven to the area south of Rubtsovsk, and it was cleared along the way, and not many people in the Far East know about it, so I support Yang Fei in this matter." It is our old tradition to prevent the gradual development of the microscopic situation, and while we focus on frontline operations, we must not give up on the construction of our own team. Go back and check it carefully, and sort out all the generals who know about the movement of our army, and dispel the doubts in your hearts, so that you can fight better in the future. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Qing's face turned red after answering, and he took the initiative to explain: "The people who can get a report on the specific movement of our army are basically old brothers who have been with us for many years, so I will think so, and I will pay more attention to it in the future." ”

An Yi nodded, and just wanted to say a few words, when Huang Zhi woke up from his remembrance of the battle, and said with a smile: "Judging from the war that just ended, the Soviet army that has undergone a great purge still has a very low tactical literacy.

"The commanders and fighters of the Soviet army are not clear in their minds, I am afraid that even they themselves have not thought about it, even if they are close to the tank, what can they do? It is not surprising that they did not prepare the corresponding individual explosive weapons, and did not even think to use cluster grenades. I am now suddenly looking forward to the next battle in Ust-Kamen, which, according to the reconnaissance of our air force, has gathered at least four divisions of the Soviet army as another important area to intercept our entry into Kazakhstan, and if we eat this enemy in one go, then the entire north-east of Kazakhstan will be at our disposal. ”

"I hope so!"

An Yi strode to the sand table and pointed to Leninogorsk, north of Ust-Kamen:

"In fact, our main goal was to attract back the Soviet Red Army in the mountainous and forested area north of Leninogorsk through the attack on Ust-Kamen. Mountain warfare is far more brutal than we think, a ravine, a cave, a forest, and the maze-like maze of weathered rocks that stand in the mountains can become a cover for the attack.

"Although we made the sand table in accordance with the actual scale through aerial photography, but on the battlefield, it is far from being comparable to looking at the map and the sand table. This is also the fundamental reason why I agree with the Western Front to temporarily change its operational plan. Now, I just hope that our opponents will be smarter, even if they retreat and save their living forces, that is, they will not stay in this mountainous area and fight with us. ”

Huang Zhi's emaciated face flushed a little, and he analyzed with great interest: "I don't think the next battle will be too difficult...... At present, the Soviet army is faced with three choices: one is to unswervingly carry out the pre-war plan, even if Ust-Kamenn in the south is attacked or even falls, it will not be moved, and resolutely stay in this mountainous area within a radius of 100 miles to fight with us, and constantly harass and block our southbound troops, so that we will not be able to smoothly open the line of communication, greatly delaying the time for the infantry to enter Kazakhstan to fight, and the disadvantage of this is that because the retreat route is cut off, there are no supplies, and finally under the heavy encirclement and suppression of our army, we will end up with the annihilation of the whole army;

"The second option is to wait until Ust-Kamenn is attacked, and then go south to support, then the final result is likely to be that Ust-Kamenn has fallen before it arrives, and at this time our army has successfully passed through the Hetohor mountain area, and the Soviet army, which has lost favorable terrain, will fall into the encirclement of our army, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed, which is the worst decision;

"The third is to abandon the task of blocking from now on, turn around and go south, and immediately choose to withdraw south after accurately judging the situation between the two sides, so as to preserve the vital forces and rely on Kazakhstan's strategic depth to maneuver with us. If I were the commander of the Soviet army, I would not hesitate to choose the third one, in any case, it is the main thing to save myself first and then fight the enemy, and if everyone is dead, how can I defend a large part of the country? ”

An Yi smiled slightly: "The key is that almost all the commanders of the Soviet army who are now commanding operations are urgently promoted to the so-called people with strong ideology and political passes, and many company and battalion commanders have been promoted to the position of division commander and regiment commander at once, except for being obedient to the political commissar and the internal affairs commissar, they have no prestige in the army at all, let alone come up with constructive opinions." I guess the instructions given by Moscow must be to attack and annihilate our troops in Kazakhstan, and now it is the turn of the political commissars and internal affairs commissars who are tasked with almost impossible tasks! ”

Yang Fei asked with interest: "Speaking of which, in a panic, the Soviet army may even choose the second countermeasure?" Aren't we making a fortune then? ”

An Yi did not answer directly, his eyes fell on the lifelike sand table, and said with emotion: "During this time, I made up a lot of historical knowledge, only to know that these places used to be Chinese territory, until the middle and late last century, the Russians through the "Sino-Russian Ili Tar Bahatai Trade Charter", "Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty", "Sino-Russian Tianjin Treaty", "Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty" and "Sino-Russian Northwest Boundary Treaty" and a series of unequal treaties, this time we marched into Central Asia, It's just to get back the things of the ancestors.

"The Russians are in serious ideological and military confusion, which gives us a great opportunity to fish in troubled waters, if it was a few years earlier and a few years later, we would not have had a good way to face this hard bone, but now it is just right, this cannot but be said to be an eye-opener. Therefore, we do not rule out that the dazed Russians will make the choice that is most beneficial to us......"

When An Yi said this, he suddenly remembered something and asked Liu Qing: "Has the political power acceptance team organized by the political department been sent out?" ”

Liu Qing replied: "The General Political Department has organized five transport aircraft brigades, with a total of 500 AN5 and AN6 large transport planes and mosquito transport planes to participate in the rush to receive personnel and materials. ”

An Yi said happily: "As long as our first experimental field is successful, then the whole of Central Asia can do the same, and I am full of expectations for this." ”

......

Shaanxi, Yan'an.

In a well-lit cave in Yangjialing at the foot of Pagoda Mountain, a tall and thin ** with a radiant spirit sat opposite Huang Han, who was a little cramped with excitement.

"Comrade Huang Han, you have performed very well in Kang Da, not only meticulous in military teaching work, but also summed up the experience of the armed development and reform base in Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei and Guizhou in the past few years into a book, and the comrades of the Central Committee and the Central Military Commission were very inspired after reading it. We must be able to go up and down, not only to lead troops to fight, but also to relax military education and theoretical work. ”

When he said this, ** kept smiling and looking at Huang Han.

Huang Han was agitated, Huo Ran stood up, stood up and saluted: "Chairman, Huang Han will always demand himself as a *** member, no matter what he does, he will firmly remember that he is a glorious proletarian fighter, as long as the revolutionary cause needs me, I will do revolution wherever I go!"

In fact, the work of Kang Da is also very important, shouldering the glorious mission of cultivating a large number of backbone of the War of Resistance for the National Liberation War, only the first phase of the enrollment of 1,065 students, including 38 cadres above the division and regiment of the Red Army, such as Luo Ronghuan, Luo Ruiqing and other comrades are also students, you can imagine how important the education work is. At the beginning of the second phase of Kang University last year, there were more than 1,300 students in 14 teams in the university department alone, and in the fourth phase of this year, the number of students soared to more than 5,500 people, in addition to a large number of intellectual young people who came to Yan'an, there were more than 900 cadres sent by the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army and the underground party in the national control area.

"While educating others, I was also receiving education in political ideology and strategy and tactics, and the chairman personally served as the chairman of the Kang Da Education Committee and often gave us lectures, from which I benefited a lot. Chairman, Huang Han is willing to be the screw of the revolution and always serve the revolutionary cause. ”

"What a screw!"

** blurted out praise: "What a yellow man, worthy of being a talent that I have always been optimistic about!" Huang Han, you know what? I have been paying attention to you since the beginning of the Jiangxi Soviet District, and when I ordered the disbandment of the Red 20th Army after the journey of thousands of miles to northern Shaanxi, and the commanders and fighters were assigned to other units, I also hesitated. However, after thinking about it, I still did it, and I wanted to see how a *** high-ranking general, who repeatedly refused the temptation of *** and local warlords, would behave in the face of unfair treatment. It turns out that you are fully worthy of the trust of the organization, and your political ideology and military skills are outstanding. ”

"Chairman—"

Huang Han's blood surged, his face turned red, and his tiger eyes were full of tears.

** motioned for Huang Han to sit down, and then said: "Huang Han, now the organization is going to give you an extremely important task, do you dare to take over this burden?" ”

Huang Han stood up again, his eyes resolute: "Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, Huang Han will never flinch, please give the order!" ”

"It's not that serious! If you really want a talent like you to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I can't bear it! ”

** laughed, got up and pulled Huang Han to the large northwest map on the wall of the cave, his expression became extremely serious: "Huang Han, what I want to tell you next is not only related to the future development strategy of our party, but also the confidential information that our comrades have worked so hard to obtain, these all belong to the category that requires a high degree of secrecy, can you guarantee that even your closest people will not be revealed?" ”

Seeing Huang Han nodding solemnly, ** said with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll tell you the first secret." Many people are surprised that the Mongolian province has inexplicably returned to the embrace of the motherland, and that a Mongolian National Revolutionary Army with a strength of up to 500,000 troops suddenly appeared, suspecting that it has something to do with the government of the Far Eastern Republic. Huang Han, what do you think about this? ”

Huang Han thought for a while, and immediately replied: "Judging from Yin Jinan's appointment as the governor of Mongolia Province, this matter is inseparable from the An Jia Army, and the so-called Mongolian National Revolutionary Army is very likely to be the army secretly developed by the An Jia Army. ”

** His eyes lit up and he said appreciatively: "Huang Han, it's good that you can see this." That's right, the return of Mongolia was indeed facilitated by An Jiajun's efforts, but Chin was a chess piece laid out by An Yi in advance at the beginning of last year. At that time, An Yi sent a special force to the north, originally intended to harass the rear of the Japanese army as a partial division, who would have thought that this force made full use of the favorable opportunity of the Japanese Kwantung Army to enter the customs to fight, rescue miners and laborers, organize the army, conquer the city, and develop rapidly, and then from the Soviet Union's local separatist force Far Eastern Republic to get a steady stream of soldiers and material supplements, in just one year, the northeast granary Sanjiang Plain into the jurisdiction, and in most of the mountains and forests of North Manchuria, a consolidated base has been established, An anti-Japanese democratic regime was established, and the number of troops rapidly swelled to one million.

After the war between the Far East and the Soviet Union, due to the overstretched strength of the Far East Army, the An Jiajun was invited to enter Mongolia, and in this way, An Yibing recovered the Mongolian sovereignty that the motherland had lost for many years without blood. Regardless of his political stance, at least in terms of safeguarding the country and the nation, I admire An Yi. ”

"That's ...... so"

Huang Han suddenly realized, and immediately raised his own question: "Since Mongolia already has so many troops, then An Yi once again sent Li Jinlong and Ye Cheng, two tiger generals, to lead his troops north, could it be that there is a bigger attempt?" ”

"Central Asia!"

** Sigh slightly: "Aside from personal beliefs and the pursuit of ideals, isms, I have to admire An Yi's determination and courage, many areas of Central Asia, has always been China's territory, and only in modern times lost, at this time taking advantage of the Soviet civil strife to recapture, understandable, but we can not help but see that there are many comrades in our party who have returned from the Soviet Union, full of feelings for the Soviet Union, and Central Asia is the bridge between our Soviet region and the Soviet Union, will be cut off, this is what many comrades in the party do not want to see, so ......"

Huang Han's face changed, and he said urgently: "Chairman, you won't give an order to let me go to Mongolia to develop a revolutionary base and drag An Yi's hind legs, right?" I reserve my opinion on this, no matter what, An Jiajun is doing things that are beneficial to the country and the nation. Although we Chinese *** people believe in **, we are first and foremost a Chinese, if we drag our feet on this matter, I don't know how this matter will be recorded in the history books. ”

** laughed: "Huang Han, Huang Han, do you think my mind is so narrow-minded? Don't interject, listen to me slowly......"
