Chapter 64: Mongolia (10)
The sky was slightly bright, and Hu Lian, who had not slept all night, stood on a high ground and felt a burst of pride in his heart as he watched the officers and soldiers walking past him with a group of prisoners all over the mountains.
This is the old Russian hairman who always looks at us with his nostrils turned upwards? This is the army that once held a military parade in our Forbidden City? So what, Lao Tzu hasn't defeated you yet!
"Reporter, we've got their heads." When Hu Lian looked at it, it turned out to be a team of soldiers escorting two generals with the rank of major general coming.
"Are you the commander of your army? I am Major General Padanov, the division commander of the 23rd Division of the Russian Red Army, and this is Major General Khovav, the division's political commissar. We demand treatment commensurate with our military rank and the protection of the Naiva Convention. The embarrassed but still arrogant teacher said in not very fluent Chinese.
"Hehe, of course, you can get treatment that matches your rank." Hu Lian smiled lightly proudly, he had reason to be proud, because he would become the first Chinese general in China to completely annihilate the veteran emperor [***] team in the past hundred years, and his name will go down in history.
September 20, the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936).
On the orders of General Su Tong, chairman of the Chahar Provincial Political Axe and commander of the 37th Group Army, the 102nd Division of the 37th Group Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army completely annihilated 11,000 troops of the 23rd Division of the First Group Army of the Russian Far East Military District in the territory of Mongolia in the territory of the Chinese Far East Military Region on 19 September 1936, and captured 7,323 Russian soldiers, including the division commander, Major General Padanov. The Chahar political axe solemnly warned the Russian political axe not to try to play with fire**, the Chinese people who have stood up are invincible.
"Read the newspaper, read the report that the 37th Army of Chahar completely annihilated the 20th Division of the Russian invasion of our country, and captured the commander of the 1st Major General."
"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper, and get the revenge for a hundred years of shame!"
The next day, Nanjing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, and other major cities in China announced the news that the 37 th Group Army had completely annihilated a Russian division.
Nanjing Zhengaxe rarely released any news at this time, Su Tong knew that they were waiting and watching, and at the same time, he was not optimistic about his performance.
Yan'an
The senior leaders of the SPD, which had just finished the Long March, gathered in the cave for a meeting.
"What the hell is going on with this Su Tong, how can he do it to our international friends? And it's a despicable sneak attack, too immoral. "It was Wang Ming, who had just been sent by Russia, who spoke.
All the leaders present rolled their eyes, you have morality, you are not despicable, then why don't you personally lead the team to attack Nanjing and Shanghai, fighting a war is originally to use its own tricks, and it is good to defeat the enemy.
Mao Taizu pressed the cigarette butt to the sole of his shoe and spoke: "The current state of affairs is still unclear, I think the Russian political axe will not give up, Stalin will definitely find this field, and the next battle will have to be fought." We think it's better for the party not to take a stand for the time being."
At this time, Zhou Gong next to him said, "This Su Tong rose very fast, as if he fell from the sky." Our comrades, despite all their efforts, could not find any news about him before March 35, and it seems that he has done a good job. "If Senior Su was here, he would definitely say proudly, you can't find it.
"Oh" At this time, Mao Taizu also said with interest: "What is the political tendency of this Su Tong, is it possible to win him over to our party's side?" ”
Zhou Gong said helplessly: "We can't see his political leanings, but what is certain is that he is a general with a strong patriotic heart." Now it can be said that the troops under his command are strong, and the 300,000 troops under his command are well-equipped and well-trained. It is no accident that he was able to defeat the army first and then the Russian Red Army, so to speak, if he wanted to compete with the Congress Party for the world, with his 300,000 troops he could reach the city of Nanking within a month. ”
"Shhh The senior SPD generals in the audience gasped.
"Hmph." No matter how powerful he is, what is the use, he still can't get rid of the essence of a warlord, and the cruel nature of his self-respecting army cannot be changed. Wang Ming next to him said disdainfully.
"Okay, now that our information is not clear, let's wait and see how things develop." Taizu lit another cigarette and said leisurely.
And the first reaction of the consuls and political axes of various countries who just got the news was that today is April Fool's Day? Oh! God, when did the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army become so strong that it could completely annihilate the Russian [***] team with the same strength? You must know that Russia is not the first military power in Asia, but in the eyes of those veteran imperialists, they look down on Asian armies in their hearts. Although Su Tong annihilated a wing of the Yue Army and captured the wing flag of the Yue Army, this was nothing in the eyes of Western countries. But after the total annihilation of an infantry division of the Russian army, the meaning is different. This means that the Chinese army can be equal to the armies of the great powers.
Therefore, when the real surname of the news was confirmed, the immediate reaction of the countries was that the Far East was about to change, and Stalin would never let go of this Chahar local political axe who dared to slap his tiger beard and act recklessly.
Sure enough, on 22 September, the Russian political axe issued a proclamation, in view of the fact that the Chahar local political axe sent troops to shamelessly attack the 23rd Infantry Division of the Russian Far Eastern Military District, which had gone to Mongolia to maintain law and order at the invitation of the Mongol prince. In order to punish the brutal Chahar Governor and the despicable 37th Army, the Russian Axe decided to send the Great Russian Red Army to resolutely destroy all the enemies of the Great Russia. Now the Russian political axe has given the evil group led by Su Tong two choices: either surrender or destroy! The time limit is 48 hours from the date of this announcement.
Command of the 37th Chahar Army
Su Tong and Jiang Baili sat opposite each other, Jiang Baili looked at the announcement sent by Stalin, sighed softly and said, "It's finally here." ”
Su Tong smiled lightly: "Didn't we have this mental preparation long ago after we decided to send troops to Mongolia?" ”
"But there is so little time left for us to develop. If we were given another six months, it would be much better when we had built those factories. ”
Su Tong said calmly: "Those old empires will not give any emerging country time to develop, and we can only use our fists to fight it ourselves if we want to gain time for development." Countless bloody lessons have taught us that it is foolish to expect any extravagant mercy from an adversary. ”
Jiang Baili looked at Su Tong and smiled, "Haha, it seems that this old man of mine hasn't been understood by you yet." ”
Su Daguan pretended to smile lightly. Because he has the strong backing of the moon base, he is not afraid of any force or even country.
Just two hours after the Russian political axe issued an ultimatum, Su Tong, chairman of the Chahar political axe and commander of the 37th Army, responded to the Russian political axe. Su Tong's answer is very simple: either you see our corpses, or you see us moving forward alive!
On the 24th, Chahar issued a letter to the compatriots of the whole country, which reads as follows: Compatriots of the whole country and compatriots of all nationalities, just yesterday the Russian political axe issued an ultimatum to the local political axe of one of our sovereign states, demanding that we surrender to the Russian [***] team within 48 hours, otherwise they will destroy us, on the grounds that we have 'shamelessly' attacked the army that they have entered our territory without informing us of the political axe of our country to maintain law and order. When did this kind of ridiculous thing happen to our sovereign country, when was the security of our country maintained by the army of another country? Are all the armies of our country dead? And when the matter was revealed, we demanded that our troops surrender to them, and our answer to the rude demands of the Russian political axe was: either you see our corpses, or you see us advancing alive! We will not surrender! Compatriots, now Mongolia is in danger, Chahar is in danger. Here, the Chahar political axe has issued a conscription order, all citizens with male surnames who are over 18 years old and under 35 years old and above living in Chahar Province, except for the disabled and political axe workers, must register with the nearest political axe within three days, and those who fail to do so will be punished as deserters.
"It seems that this Su Tong is going to fight hard with Lao Maozi, and now he has even come out with a conscription order." Chairman Jiang put the newspaper on the table and said leisurely.
"Chairman, do we want to issue a notice to express our attitude?" Chen Bui asked on the side.
"Statement? What is the state? Do you think Su Tong can beat the Russians? So since we can't beat us, how can we express our position? Chairman Jiang shook his head and said.
Chen Bui sighed secretly, yes, it is impossible to support the Russians, and the political axe is afraid that the Chinese people will scold him for being a Han annihilation. Support Su Tong, when Su Tong is defeated, the Russians will definitely settle accounts after the autumn. What a dilemma!
Baokang in Chahar, where the 101st Division was stationed
Sun Liren looked at the new tank that had just been delivered a month ago, and his eyes couldn't suppress the glint of joy. These tanks are the 59 type tanks imitated by the commander. As a tank that served in China for 60 years in later generations, it naturally has the characteristics of other people, although its 100 mm smoothbore gun is outdated in later generations, but it is a symbol of invincibility today.
In order to master this batch of new equipment as soon as possible, the officers and men of the 101st Division were trained to shed their skin, but the Type 59 is also famous for its simplicity, and the training is simpler than the French Somoan S-35 tank.
Due to the current technology, Su Tong did not take out the five or nine changes of the later generations, and only used the original model, but well, someone thinks it is enough.
"Division, the headquarters ordered us to set off tonight and immediately march towards Ulaanbatu." At this time, the chief of staff brought Sun Liren's long-awaited order.
The first watch is coming
