Chapter 210: On the eve of the general attack
Dihua was renamed Urumqi after the founding of New China.
After Zhang Zizhong and Wang Zhen led an entire corps of the People's Army into Xinjiang, the situation in the entire province began to stabilize in an all-round way, and Sheng Shicai first saw that the general trend had gone, and then saw the central government's repeated big moves in Gansu, Tibetan Province, Northeast China, and Nanyang, and he had already frightened out of his soul, and he was unwilling to flee to Soviet Russia.
After Zhang Wang's army was stationed in Hami and Turpan, it finally entered Dihua, an important town in northern Saibei. Because he was extremely cooperative in the entire process of transferring power, and took the initiative to send troops to suppress several 'abnormal movements,' Jiang Zhongming, the new governor of Xinjiang Province, after appeasing him and handing him over the appointment documents of the central authorities in person.
Sheng Shicai was appointed vice chairman of the Xinjiang Provincial Advisory Committee. Sheng Shicai did not complain about this honorary position of the Qingshui Yamen, but breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that the one in Gansu was taken down by the People's Army on the spot because of his lack of cooperation, and after counting some of the crimes that he would have more or less as an important member of the party-state, he was sentenced the next day, and then executed on the same day. Now that he has just handed over some illegal gains, it would be good to be able to live in peace, what ambition is no longer suitable for him, and now he has changed the dynasty, and he is no longer a party-state with a blue sky and a white flag.
The new Provincial Political Axe was soon officially established, and the location of the Provincial Political Axe was close to Xiaoximen, which was already a suburban location of the original Dihua Old Town. Some street names symbolizing the change of dynasty have also been determined, such as Zuo Zongtang Road, which will become the most central city in the future, as well as the main roads Jintang Road, Jiefang Road, Renmin Road, Zhongshan Road, Sichuan Road and so on.
Because the prosperous world had only firmly controlled the northern Xinjiang region, only southern Xinjiang had not yet been completely liberated, and the provincial governor Jiang Zhongming made special wishes that Zhang Wang's army would be able to complete the task of liberating the whole Xinjiang as soon as possible when he deployed the work of the provincial political axe.
The most important task was to set up the Xinjiang Provincial Garrison Command, and completed the repair and expansion of the original Dihua Airport as quickly as possible, the border survey, the setting up of sentry posts, and the resumption of border patrols. Subsequently, Zhang Zizhong, in his capacity as commander of the Xinjiang Provincial Garrison and commander of the Xinjiang Provincial Garrison Corps, announced the establishment of the Xinjiang Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Garrison Corps. Although about 80 percent of these soldiers were born in the poor former Kuomintang troops, they all had something in common, that is, their families were extremely poor, and many of them were orphans whose families were ruined; while continuing to serve as soldiers and entering Xinjiang, they also received many promises, including higher military salaries, proper resettlement of family members in Xinjiang, the solution of the problem of starting a family and starting a business, the treatment after being transferred to the agricultural reclamation corps, and the education of children within a certain number of years.
After all, it is said that in order to build New China, everyone has to work hard, but after all, they have come thousands of miles to the northern border to blow the wind and rain, and what the military department and the central government can do is to do their best to take care of them, and not let these tens of thousands of soldiers become outcasts of history in the future. New China and Saibei need them to pay, but not for free, this point, Zhang Shusheng personally inquired about the policy arrangements at that time, he did not want these patriotic veterans to be inspired by the so-called spirit of the slogan, and as a result, they left a lifetime of regrets.
On the other side, Wang Zheng, the political commissar of the Corps, served as the commander-in-chief of the south, led 40,000 troops to southern Xinjiang, and finally arrived in Kashgar after eliminating the extremely reactionary southern Xinjiang resistance forces, and then consolidated southern Xinjiang with an absolute iron-blooded policy + Huairou policy.
Compared with Zhang Zizhong's ability to fight well, although Wang Zheng is young, he has a lot of strategic ability, and in just one month, he completely eliminated several "bandits" in southern Xinjiang, basically stabilizing the situation in southern Xinjiang. The two of them, one south and one north, basically stabilized the situation in northern Cyprus, and only waited for a larger-scale immigration plan to begin. After all, in Zhang Shusheng's mind, Xinjiang Province is bound to become an important town in the northwest due to its unique geographical location and rich natural resources, and of course, in the near future, it will also become a bridgehead for the Chinese nation.
In Zhang Shusheng's grand plan for China, Saibei will no longer be a frontier, but a transportation artery in the great China.
Compared with the quick solution of Xinjiang Province, Tibet Province is facing some problems.
"Big brother, if this battle is fought, it will be impossible for the British and those monks to escape over the mountains to India." Tie Sanqian slammed his fist on the table, and on the huge combat map hanging on the wall, two big red arrows were converging in southern Tibet, finally forming an encirclement situation of flanking back and forth.
On the front line, the final battle to suppress the rebellion has begun.
Zhuge Sheng nodded, he had also heard about the progress of Xinjiang Province, and it was smoother than here. However, he did not admit defeat, after all, at least the northern Xinjiang region has always had a prosperous era in the town, and this time it was extremely cooperative, as soon as the army arrived, just those clowns who jumped off the beam in southern Xinjiang were just mantis arms as cars. Moreover, although the climate in September and October is still relatively hot, it is nothing compared to the plateau problem in Tibetan Province.
Since the troops entered the Tibetan areas, hundreds of people have fallen ill alone, and if it were not for a sufficient number of military doctors and anti-altitude sickness syndrome medicines, the troops would have fallen in large numbers before they reached Lhasa.
As a leader in Tibet, Zhuge Sheng has a pride from the deepest part of his heart.
When he led the Tibetan army into Tibet to defeat more than 5,000 Tibetan soldiers, and then rode a tall horse into Lhasa with an attitude of absolute liberator, he saw deep fear and trepidation in those Tibetans. He knew that the anxiety of these people, who had lived in the plateau all the year round, was beyond words when they saw the lamas and Tibetan soldiers he believed in, as well as the British and Indians who were usually high up, all of them being beaten away.
He did not have the slightest doubt that he would be able to liberate the whole of Tibetan Province, and he led an infantry corps with modern rifles and machine guns, but he was only confronted by some Tibetan soldiers who shouted Tibetan and charged with weapons supported by the British, and lamas who were meditating and conspiring with prayer wheels.
What he wants to do is to completely pacify Tibetan Province, and the premise of this deterrence of all potential reactionaries is to eliminate all existing reactionaries and give them absolute punishment.
Therefore, the two regiments of the People's Army, climbing over the snow-capped mountains, overtook the Tibetan soldiers, British and Indian soldiers, and lamas on the retreat road at a great cost of casualties, completely blocking them.
"Didi ......"
When the telegraph operator finally translated the telegram sent back from the front, Zhuge Sheng nodded and took it from the hands of the operational staff officer, just glanced at it and put it down, nodded to Tie Sangan next to him, and then said to the staff officer next to him: "Record the telegram and send a telegram to the War Department in the name of the Tibetan Provincial Garrison Command, saying that Tibet Province has been completely liberated." The three cadres of the iron industry and Zhuge Sheng will definitely do their best to defend Tibetan Province and maintain stability and peace. ”
In October, when the overseas Chinese in Nanyang finally saw a future path for the Chinese, but when Tibet and Xinjiang provinces were all peacefully liberated as scheduled, there were still two places in the whole of China crying.
Northeast and Taiwan.
The eyes of the whole of China, and even the whole of the Chinese people, are on these two places. Northeast China and Taiwan are both places of painful memory for the Chinese nation, and they were both invaded and occupied by Yu himself. Nearly four months after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the issue of 'left over from history' will finally be resolved after both domestic and foreign affairs have entered a kind of good development.
Zhang Shusheng put down the latest progress report on Tibet Province and Xinjiang Province in his hand, and asked Su Yuren, head of the Supreme Operations Department next to him: "Yuren, how are the preparations for war in the northeast?" ”
Su Yuren stood up side by side, then opened the report in his hand, and said briefly: "Chairman, the preparations of the three armed services have almost been completed. In the entire Shenyang battlefield, the army will have a total of 28 divisions and 400,000 troops to participate in offensive operations, while the defensive strength of the army during the same period will be 450,000 troops composed of the former Kwantung Army and a number of B-class divisions, brigades, reading wings, and overseas Chinese soldiers. Although we could not have an advantage in the number of combat troops, our main offensive forces were all elite troops heading north, such as the troops led by General Chen Jun and General Tao Qian to the north. Among them, there are three main divisions in the former southwest period, a heavy machinery brigade and an ordinary machinery brigade, and their combat strength is very strong.
As a result of the three-month bombing, the Chinese army was able to dispatch no more than 100 planes, and they were basically concentrated on temporary airfields close to the North Korean side to avoid our bombing. The number of planes that our army can dispatch, including the planes of the former Northeast Army, has reached 313, of which 239 are advanced fighters, and an air force of this scale will pose an extremely great air threat to the Chinese army, thus enabling our army to gain absolute air supremacy.
In terms of the navy, the East China Sea Fleet, which is heading north, as a maritime interception fleet, will completely cut off the sea supply lines and rear routes of the Yue army, and once the battle is smooth, the Yue army can only choose to surrender except to quickly retreat to Korea.
In addition, our army also has an absolute advantage in artillery, and it is expected that when the general offensive is launched, our army will have 1,500 artillery pieces of extremely high caliber of 105mm to participate in the artillery group fire coverage. In the same period, the 450,000-strong defending force had less than 500 cannons of the same caliber or above.
Chairman of the Committee, apart from the simple number of land forces participating in the battle, our army has an advantage in all aspects. ”
Zhang Shusheng nodded, after the battle in the Northeast is over, he can take back Taiwan with peace of mind, the final general offensive is coming, and he will also witness the strongest anger that China has given them on the mainland.
