Bang, bang...... The sporadic gunshots, although not high-intensity firefights, were particularly piercing in Wang Lin's ears at this time, because, on the Sino-Soviet border, any gunshot, even a gunshot, could mean one thing: war!

However, another emotion burned rapidly in Wang Lin's body, that is, the blood of blood, the blood of entering the battle, the mission of the soldiers is to protect the family and defend the country, especially for these soldiers who are responsible for border defense tasks, although they are not the most elite people's army, but they are standing guard and on duty on the border of the motherland day and night, defending the homeland and defending the country, and on the border defense line, for the 400 million compatriots of the motherland.

At this time, the sky is not yet bright, and it is still snowing heavily, and the snow of dawn, although it is not the coldest, gives people a feeling of coldness, through the hazy snow curtain, the east has just revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the opposite side is the Great Siberia of the Soviets, and the gunshots are coming from there.

"Squad leader, the other side is firing, and it's approaching our side."

The soldier on duty, although he was wearing a thick cotton jacket, was still stiffened by the night snow, and the sudden gunfire ignited the blood in his body.

Did the war come so suddenly? Wang Lin was a little expectant, and a little nervous and thought to himself.

Ignoring the snow on his face, Wang Lin looked back at the nine soldiers who ran out, the entire border guard post, counting him, there were a total of 12 people, one of whom was a signal soldier and a combatant, and it was said that two soldiers were often on night duty.

"Immediately enter the fortifications, the machine gunners are on alert, listen to my orders, and are ready to open fire at any time. The signal corps immediately reported the situation to the company headquarters. ”

According to the border regulations, let alone such a dense gunfire, even if there is a fire shot from the opposite side, it must be reported to the company headquarters ten miles away.

"I'll see."

Wang Lin threw the semi-automatic to the sentry, put the only 32-year-old fully automatic rifle in the class handed over by the deputy squad leader behind his back, took the sentry's binoculars, and looked in the direction of the Soviet Union opposite in the morning light.

"Huh?"

In the faint morning light, under the reflection of the snow, the visibility was actually very high, and Wang Lin saw that a group of Soviet Red Army troops ran out of the border post of the Soviets on the opposite side, chasing two people more than 200 meters away. The two sides exchanged fire, with the two men in front returning fire with pistols and the Soviet Red Army in the back, all holding long Mosin Nagant rifles, shooting at the two men who fled.

The two fleeing men returned fire as they rushed towards the Chinese border, less than a hundred meters away from the Hudaili River.

"Squad leader, look at this posture, they are going to rush over, what should I do, let's fight?"

The situation in front of him can be seen clearly with the naked eye, and Gong Shaomin, the deputy squad leader, asked excitedly. It is not that he is belligerent, but that according to the border regulations, China's territory is sacred and inviolable, and any military aggression must be immediately and resolutely retaliated.

The situation in front of them, with a rifle in hand, while firing, while preparing to storm the Chinese border, the Soviet Red Army was enough to form a military invasion.

"Report, this is the Hudaili River border guard post, there is about a platoon of Soviet Red Army opposite the post, chasing two unknown figures, and there was an exchange of fire between the two sides. The two sides of the exchange of fire are about to storm our territory. ”

Through the telephone on duty at the sentry, the signal corps quickly reported the situation to a frontier company of the People's Army stationed in a rural area 10 miles away. Due to the border with the Soviet Union, in the entire Sino-Soviet border area of Outer Mongolia, not only the Siberian Military Region of the Soviets stationed heavy troops, but also the Chinese and People's Army stationed a huge number of border defense troops; in the entire Hudaili County, not counting the militia units in which the Mongolian and Han people spontaneously participated, the border guards alone had a battalion stationed 20 miles away from the border, and the nearest company to the border post on the Hudaili River was 10 miles away.

The reason why they are stationed at different levels is to prevent being caught up by the Soviet Red Army, and to form a strategic buffer through echelon arrangement, so as to facilitate the formation of effective early warning in wartime through the densely arranged border posts. Of course, it is not enough to rely on the early warning of the outpost. In addition to giving early warnings through border posts and spontaneous reports from the Mongolian and Han people, the People's Army stationed in Mongolia also has intelligence sources that directly connect with one of the two major special departments of the Ministry of Special Intelligence, the military special section.

Wang Lin walked up in two steps to take the phone, and the officer on duty at the opposite company headquarters had already urgently woken up Li Shanhe, the commander of the border defense company.

"I'm Li Shanhe."

"Company commander, it is highly likely that the Soviet Red Army will rush across the border." Wang Lin said simply, while closely watching the movement on the opposite side, the Soviets were still a few dozen meters away from rushing to the frozen ice surface of the Hudaili River, and according to the principle of demarcating the Sino-Soviet border, as long as they crossed the middle line of the river, they would be considered to have crossed the border.

While talking, the other soldiers were already ready to shoot, and the heavy machine gunner also opened the chain of two whole boxes, put on the chain, and the machine gun crosshair was aimed in the direction of the Soviet Red Army opposite, ready to fire at any time.

"The first warning shot was fired to warn the Soviet Red Army through the border radio. However, as soon as they cross the line armed or open fire on us first, they will return fire. I'll send someone to support you at once. The company commander quickly gave the order, he knew that there was no trivial matter between China and the Soviet Union, especially if there was an exchange of fire, and it was the right decision to report the situation as soon as possible and bring a large force to support.

"Yes!"

Wang Lin put down the phone, asked the signal corpsmen to pay attention to dodge, and was ready to connect with the company headquarters at any time to report the latest situation, then took off the rifle behind his back, lay down on the firing hole of the sentry bunker, and ordered: "Immediately fire a warning gun and shout to them in accordance with the regulations." ”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three shots rang out in a row, a KPA soldier raised his hand and fired three times in the air, the sound of the 26-year Chinese semi-automatic rifle was completely different from the shooting sound of the Soviets' Mosin Nagant rifle, as soon as the fire was fired, the Soviet Red Army on the opposite side and the two people who were being chased immediately heard it.

The Soviet Red Army also understood that the Chinese were protesting.

"Warning! Warn! Any violation of China's borders will be resolutely retaliated!! ”

The electric horn of the border post sounded, piercing the night sky and reaching the opposite side. In order not to break out the Sino-Soviet war early, the border guards issued some basic passwords to the Soviet Union, in case the language barrier led to the early outbreak of the war.

However, deliberately avoiding the early outbreak of war does not mean that China is cowardly.

However, the Soviet Red Army on the opposite side only paused slightly, and after the gunfire stopped slightly, it rang out more intensively, and the two people who fled in front of them ran towards the Chinese border like crazy, holding a pair of red underwear in their hands, and kept waving in the direction of China.

The most surprising thing is that the two fleeing people actually shouted loudly in Chinese with a strong Russian accent: "Surrender, don't fire!" Surrender, don't fire!! ”

Burst! Burst!

At the moment when the two escapees rushed onto the ice of the Hudaili River, the Soviet Red Army's shots had already hit the river, splashing with bursts of snow, frightening the two escapees to run towards the Chinese border. One of them even couldn't stand steadily, and fell directly to the ground, sliding directly along the slippery ice.

In the blink of an eye, the two escapees were already standing on the Chinese border more than ten meters away.

"Don't move!"

A proficient phrase of Russian came out of the mouths of two trained border guards, and during the training, many soldiers learned the Russian phrase "do not move" well.

Two Chinese-style semi-automatic rifles were pressed against the heads of the two escapees, and the other two soldiers quickly handcuffed and locked the two men into the fortifications of the sentry post.

"The Soviet Red Army? Didn't you believe in the Bolsheviks? How did you become a deserter? Wang Lin looked at the two Soviet Red Army soldiers who survived the disaster, and the two were still wearing typical Soviet Red Army uniforms, and what was even more strange was that the two people were wearing the uniforms of obviously officers, according to the special training of the border guards, Wang Lin recognized them as the ranks of captain and lieutenant of the Soviets. Moreover, their pistols were also Tokarev pistols issued only by the low-level commanders of the Soviet Red Army. Although this pistol is not as good as the 26-year-old officer-style pistol issued by the [***] team, it is already a good equipment in the Soviet Red Army, which has uneven levels of armament in the army.

How did two Soviet Red Army company-level cadres become deserters early in the morning? And they fled to what they saw as a capitalist, capitalist, imperialist-leaning China!

"Lock them up first, prepare for battle first, and then try them when the Russian interpreter from the company comes."

It turned out that the two Red Army deserters also did not know Chinese, but only the simplest words. At the sound of Wang Lin's order, the two commanders of the Soviet Red Army, who were handcuffed by the military, were put into the detention cell of the sentry post without resistance like dead chickens. The two didn't even protest or call for help, and the desperate escape just now made the two of them exhaust almost all their energy.

At this time, the Soviet Red Army on the opposite side was already only more than a hundred meters away from the Hudaili River, and seeing the two deserters being caught by the Chinese border guards, they neither immediately pursued nor retreated, but spread out in battle formation, looking for cover.

"Comrade instructor, the traitor has entered the territory of China."

On the territory of the Soviet Union, a Soviet Red Army ran up to an officer wearing the uniform of a Soviet Red Army instructor and said immediately.

"Report to Comrade Regiment Commander that the Chinese harbored Soviet deserters and exchanged fire with me." The Red Army company-level instructor fiercely threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and viciously gave the order, "Hmph, the Chinese are just cowardly cowards, give them rifles, can they hit us?" Incompetent cowards, we will prove to our ancestors with our loyalty and Bolshevik spirit that we will conclude the second 'Treaty of Nebuchu' in Mongolia. Fire, everything for the Soviets, rush over, the fighters of the Bolsheviks, the brave fighters of the Red Army, take them all for me!! ”

However, just as the Soviets fired sporadically on the pillboxes of the Chinese border guards, the Chinese machine guns opened fire.

Hiss...... The Ripper machine gun, which had been lowered in rate of fire, still showed its amazing rate of fire, although there was no need to consider the amount of ammunition, but in order to consider a long battle, Wang Lin only ordered the machine gun to fire at a medium speed.

As soon as the Chinese machine gun rang out, a tongue of fire quickly strafed the Soviet Red Army that was shooting on the opposite side, and the actual combat experience was very lacking, and even because the snow was too cold, many Soviet Red Army troops who were standing and firing were instantly hit by this sudden machine gun fire.

Less than two hundred meters away, it was within the optimal range of the Ripper heavy machine gun, and the Chinese border guards on the other side were armed to the teeth compared to the lack of training, the Soviet Red Army, which was perhaps still a peasant yesterday.

"Well done!!"

Looking at the five or six Soviet Red Army soldiers who were directly hit and flew out after being hit in the telescope, Wang Lin shouted happily, and at the same time did not forget to say to the signal corps, "Report to the company headquarters, the Soviet Red Army took the lead in firing at our border post under the pretext of desertion, and our side resolutely returned fire. ”

After a pause, he added: "However, the Soviets are acting a little erratically, and they ask the company to speed up their support. ”

The signal corps quickly reported the latest situation to the company headquarters.

Bang! Bang...... Hiss...... After the Chinese machine guns and semi-automatic rifles fired, the Soviets' M1910 Maxim heavy machine gun mounted on two wheels was finally pushed up, and from time to time, the old Maxim heavy machine gun, emitting white hookah, finally opened fire.

On the improvised highway more than seven miles away from the Hudaili River outpost, six Chinese [***] trucks equipped with snow chains were loading two platoons of border guards and rushed to the Hudaili River post.

According to the border defense regulations, Li Shanhe, commander of the border defense company, issued a second-level border defense operational preparation, which is second only to the first-level border combat preparation for a full-scale border campaign. In addition to a full-scale battle with the invading enemy, the first level of border combat preparation also requires a large-scale evacuation of the population.

As a second-level preparation for border defense operations, the equipment brought by these two platoons is the most sophisticated in the border defense company, such as the 26-year wheeled infantry gun, which is equipped with 2, and the number of mortars, machine guns and corresponding ammunition is enough to carry out a company-level battle.

As a weapon of mass destruction for anti-personnel infantry, the operation unit also brought two Type 32 anti-aircraft machine guns.

Of course, as the most necessary equipment, anti-tank guns and anti-tank rocket launchers, the troops of the two platoons also brought some, although not much, but enough to persist in the battle in the early stage.

This is the equipment that the border guards must carry in the Sino-Soviet border emergency response regulations, otherwise, if they encounter Soviet tanks, even if they are backward, they will not be able to be stopped by human flesh.

Of course, this does not mean that the KPA needs to use infantry against their tanks, but the Chinese and Soviet sides have done the same, the tanks are placed in a lower position, unless one side raids the other side, otherwise the first outbreak is still infantry fighting, at best, the attacking side mobilizes a small number of tanks to participate in the battle.

Although the two platoons were small in number, they rushed straight to the Hudaili River sentry with murderous violence. A few miles away, but a few minutes, is just around the corner.

Almost simultaneously, on the side of the USSR, the same play was being played out, and, judging by the scale of the operation, more like a premeditated military operation.

"Whew!"

After the sound of emergency brakes, dozens of old Soviet trucks jumped out of nearly a battalion of Soviet Red Army, wearing long thick uniforms, some of the Soviet Red Army did not even seem to have fully woken up, both old and young, and their physical fitness was very poor. Under the command of the political commissar of the Red Army, although the overall quality was low, and even the political commissar of the Red Army himself had little command experience, the Red Army of this battalion quickly spread out in battle formation and went to support the Red Army platoon on the Sino-Soviet border.

They were not the most elite Soviet Red Army, but they were encouraged by the commissars to fight the Chinese, and they were told that although the Chinese had rifles, they were still backward and barbaric, that they were nothing more than Manchu descendants who had taken up arms, and that the Soviet Red Army would defeat them as easily as it had defeated them.

Three minutes after the official start of the battle on the border of the Hudaili River, Xu Shuzheng, the commander of the Mongolian garrison and a major general of the People's Army of the Republic who had just gotten up, received a report.

"Report! Commander Xu, at 5:31 a.m., at the Hudaili border post, two Soviet Red Army officers defected to our country and were successfully arrested by the Hudaili River border guards. Subsequently, after receiving the warning, the Soviet Red Army still opened fire first, and our side resolutely returned fire, and at present, there were no casualties on our side according to the border fortifications, and the battle lasted for five minutes, killing and wounding about 10 Soviet people. The troops of two platoons of our border defense company have just arrived at the outpost, and a large number of reinforcements from the Soviet side have appeared, and it is expected that the fighting will have a tendency to further expand. ”

At the Mongolian Garrison District Command of the Chinese People's Army, the staff officer on duty in the garrison area is reporting to Commander Xu Shuzheng.

"Huh? The Soviets finally got their hands dirty. ”

Xu Shuzheng, who is in his fifties, is like an old cow attached to him, and when he heard the news of the war, instead of being cowardly and panicked, he seemed to have been looking forward to it for a long time, and ordered with a smile, "Very good, in accordance with the established emergency plan for the Soviet Union, report the situation to the military headquarters, and at the same time, coordinate the air force to attack, quickly find out the enemy's situation, and support the defenders on our border." In addition, the 133rd Frontier Regiment stationed in Selenga City was immediately mobilized to move in the direction of Hudaili, and the 11th Division of the Mechanized Infantry Division stationed in Kulen immediately entered Selenga City as the main force. In addition, the 12th, 13th, 18th, 25th, 34th divisions entered combat readiness of the second level. ”

In order to defend against the Soviet Union, the KPA also had a large military force in Mongolia, stationed in two corps and six divisions, one of which was an elite mechanized infantry division. According to the establishment of the People's Army, this is a semi-tank division, well-equipped, and it is an elite unit.

In accordance with the regulations of the People's Army, the border garrisons in various localities are uniformly dispatched by the Ministry of National Defense, and the commanders of the garrison areas are responsible for unified command in wartime. Mongolia's situation is very special, so its border guards appear to be very large, not counting other troops, these six regular divisions alone have reached the scale of nearly 100,000 people.

On the opposite side of Mongolia, of course, was the much larger Soviet Red Army, the Siberian Military District.

Since being rescued by the Southwest Special Forces in 1925, Xu Shuzheng completely left the burden of being a general of the Beiyang Army and became a battalion commander of the Southwest Army at that time. Although it seems that the military rank is low, at that time, the scale of the entire Southwest Army was not large, and as an old army general, he was able to serve as a battalion commander, which was already very important.

Moreover, with many years of experience in leading soldiers to fight wars, combined with the study of the new army, Xu Shuzheng made rapid progress, entered the Huaxia Military Academy at the age of 48, completed the studies of in-service soldiers, and achieved 'good' graduation results. Cai Yi, the principal of the military academy, commented on him: He is old and strong, and he has the hope of growing into a backbone general of the People's Army in the future.

Because of his excellent leadership of troops, his strong style, and his political loyalty to the Baath Party, Xu Shuzheng was soon promoted to a division-level military position, until the complete liberation of Mongolia, he was nominated as the commander of the Mongolian garrison, of course, at that time, there was no general in the People's Army who was more suitable than him to lead the army to lead the town, after all, Xu Shuzheng was the hero of the recovery of Outer Mongolia.

Until the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1933, Xu Shuzheng was awarded the rank of commander of the Mongolian garrison and was awarded the major general of the republic, becoming the oldest of the generals in active service among the generals of the republic.

After conferring the title, Zhang Shusheng made a special meeting with the Beiyang veteran and listened to his views on Mongolian affairs.

When talking about the Soviet issue, Xu Shuzheng especially suggested that the republic should strengthen its vigilance against the Soviet Union, and he believed that the Soviets were very ambitious, and Stalin's territorial control was no less than that of the Tsarist emperor of the year. Although the entire Sino-Soviet border spread for a long time, the particularly disputed place should be the Sino-Soviet border of the Mongolian generation.

Compared with Xinjiang Province and the Far East, the border between China and the Soviet Union in Mongolia is more problematic and more complicated. From the Chinese side, it can attack Siberia, cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway of the Soviets with one sword, and occupy Siberia, which has become an important energy source for the Soviet Union, not to mention indirectly forming an absolute advantage in the Far East. Without the Trans-Siberian Railway, the Far East of the Soviet Union would be like a Slavic girl who has taken off her clothes, wantonly ravaged by China or Ben.

Zhang Shusheng was also unprecedentedly vigilant about the Soviet Union, after all, because of the strength of China's political axe, Outer Mongolia was not divided as it was in the original history, so that there were bound to be more conflict points between China and the Soviet Union. Among the many reasons for the division of Mongolia in the Soviet Union, Stalin's personal will was the most important one.

Whether the Soviet Union wanted to create a buffer between China and the Soviet Union, or to weaken China, or to prop up its own followers and spread the Bolsheviks, in the original history, Stalin's unscrupulous efforts to force China's political axe to recognize foreign [***] were a national humiliation for all Chinese.

And now, Zhang Shusheng will never allow such a situation to happen, even if it is to start a war in advance and use millions of people's troops to collide with millions of Red Army.

On the issue of territory and sovereignty, China will not back down an inch.

Xu Shuzheng got up and walked to the wall behind his desk, and in the middle of it, there was a small plaque hanging on it, on which was a word that Zhang Shusheng gave him after seeing him.

Of course, the words were not written by Zhang Shusheng, but that sentence was given to him by Zhang Shusheng.

"Yongzhen Mongolian !!"

Xu Shuzheng muttered those four words, and couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility like a tsunami in his heart, yes, he has been guarding Mongolia for many years, isn't it just to protect the peace of the country and keep Mongolia safe?

No one wants war, but when war is coming, even if the opponent is a very strong enemy, the soldiers who defend their homeland will take up arms, fight, and take revenge.

The veteran Xu Shuzheng, whose hair was already gray and half of his hair was gray, but this did not affect his determination to guard the frontier and protect Mongolia, picked up the military hat on the table, put it on properly, and then took off the general's saber on the wall, sorted it out carefully, and then ordered another staff officer waiting on the side: "Immediately convene an emergency combat meeting!! ”

In the opulent Kremlin of the USSR, Moscow, in Stalin's personal office center, a senior staff officer of the Soviet Red Army and head of the NKVD of the USSR, Yagoda, was standing with his head bowed, carefully waiting for Stalin's general outburst.

"Comrade Milevsky, please tell me why the Mongolian plan has deviated so much."

Stalin, standing with his back to the two men, asked in a calm voice without any anger as he stood in front of a wall hung with a large map of the Soviet Union.

However, the senior staff officer of the Red Army was shocked, if Stalin was angry or reprimanded himself on the spot, then the matter was not Jedi, but if Stalin spoke calmly to himself as he did now, then, waiting for him, or just walking out of the Kremlin, would have been secretly arrested.

"Comrade Stalin, according to the latest report from the Siberian Military District, which we have received, it can be considered a shameful failed operation due to the leaks of the border guards."

It was the staff officer of the General Staff who was in charge of this secret Mongolian program.

Since Germany launched the war, European countries have declared war one after another, and the Soviet Union has also felt tremendous pressure. Will Germany move eastward and have another super-large-scale Eastern Front battle with the Soviet Union?

However, these doubts were instantly dispelled after the Soviet-German Non-Aggression Pact was signed between the Soviet Union and Germany, especially when he saw that Germany was acting according to the plan notified to the Soviet Union in advance, attacking Poland, and then stopping across the river from the Soviet Red Army in Warsaw.

Hitler still had to give priority to solving the problems of Europe, and as for the powerful Soviet Union, the Soviet Union, with millions of loyal Red Army, the Germans would not take risks easily, at least, until the Soviet Union was ready. And by the time they finished cleaning up the mess in Europe, the Soviet Union at that time was fully mobilized and enough to defeat any enemy.

The mighty Soviet Union, having tasted the sweetness of Poland, found the European direction, and with the energy of the USSR, wanted to encroach on any fruits of war, and there was no other way than to start a war.

However, if the USSR were to wage war in the European direction, in addition to the Germans, it would only be against the Anglo-French alliance, which, obviously, was not the wish of the 'wise Comrade Stalin', who in his mind wanted to see Anglo-French and German fight first, and then the Soviet Red Army would play the role of turf grabbers, as in Poland.

The world thought that Germany had launched an invasion of Poland, but the reality turned out that the Soviet Union had also obtained the territory it wanted, and that the war without firing a gun was welcomed by Comrade Stalin, who considered himself the wisest of all.

Then, leaving aside Europe, the appetite of the USSR could only be satisfied in Asia.

Looking at Asia, there is nothing more reassuring and hateful to Comrade Stalin than a unified China and Mongolia under Chinese rule.

Many years ago, after the Soviet Union's plot to split Mongolia failed, it became jealous and hated overnight, eager to split Mongolia in two overnight and cut it out of China's territory.

Milevsky still remembers Stalin's speech of supreme will, the irrefutable speech, "We have twice as many territories, three times as many troops, and several times as many tanks, planes, and artillery as theirs, and they cannot protect Mongolia forever."

The Chinese are a despicable people, this capitalist country, showing more and more aggression, they garrisoned six divisions in Mongolia, with nearly 100,000 troops, which is a great threat to Soviet Siberia. As soon as they dare to risk cutting off the Trans-Siberian Railway, we will have to snatch it from them on the ice sheet, otherwise, the whole of Eastern Siberia and the Far East, will fall into the fruit of their ambitions.

There needs to be a sufficient buffer zone between China and the Soviet Union, it must be had, and in this operation, I hope to be able to test the bottom line of the Chinese, rely on the Bolshevik power of communication, and then through appropriate military threats, through the will of the Mongolian people to yearn for the Bolsheviks, to set up Mongolia, or at least the outside [***]. ”

Comrade Stalin gave the order, and the plan must have been carried out very quickly, and the Soviets became somewhat unscrupulous as a result of the non-aggression pact with Germany.

The first was that the members of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs in Siberia considered two rank-and-file officers guilty and would be chosen as victims of the plan.

Thus, after the General Staff drew up an operational plan, a certain unit of the Soviet Red Army in Siberia quickly determined that two rank-and-file officers, the commander of a certain border post company and the deputy company commander, were guilty and would be used as pawns.

According to the plan, the two Red Army officers included in the counter-revolutionary list would be first imprisoned, and then they would 'accidentally' escape, and then the Soviet Red Army would send troops to pursue them, and finally engage them under the pretext that the Chinese border guards were shielding the Soviet deserters.

At the same time, a division of the Soviet Red Army near the border line will move quickly, open up battle formations, and quickly take Hudaili County in a divisional battle.

"According to the original plan, after the completion of the first step of the plan, one of our Red Army divisions will quickly break through to the Chinese border, occupy the Hudaili line, and quickly approach the Kulen line with the local superiority of three divisions.

Since the Chinese had an ordinary border division, an elite mechanized infantry division, in the area around Kulen, in order to pose a sufficient threat to them, our plan was to suppress them with three Red Army divisions.

After the completion of the plan, we will rely on some of the previous foundations to instigate the local herdsmen to defect to the Bolsheviks and form the Mongolian People's Free Army, with the Soviet Red Army as the mainstay, and strive to complete the reading power of the whole of Outer Mongolia. Just ......"

Milevsky paused, and then said, "It was only because of the leakage of information that two Red Army traitors had been informed, and when we were about to capture them, they escaped, and, in line with our plan, they fled to China.

As a result of their early escape, only one of our three divisions was within 10 kilometers of the incident and only two kilometers from the Hudaili River, and was able to quickly engage in battle when the battle began, while the remaining three divisions could not reach the border area until the afternoon. ”

This was the upheaval brought about by two days, if according to the plan, the two counter-revolutionary Red Army officers who had been put on the purgeed list would be 'inadvertently released' after two days and then flee to China, thus triggering a border war.

As a result, the two deserters not only knew the real situation, but fled to China two days ahead of schedule, and the most infuriating thing was that the incompetent grassroots instructors on the front line actually ordered an attack on the Chinese border according to the original plan.

And then, a regiment of the Red Army on the front line, which had not yet waited for the reply of the Siberian Military District and the General Staff, was also directly transferred to fight the fire.

The Sino-Soviet border, which had already been fought, was like a magnet that sucked up the Chinese and Soviet troops.

Stalin turned around and glared at the two fiercely, although Yagoda stood there without speaking, he knew that Stalin would still trouble him afterwards, at least a reprimand was indispensable.

However, unlike this Red Army staff officer, Yagoda knew that Comrade Stalin, who seemed to be furious, did not take this accident to heart at all.

This wise Bolshevik leader always had only one principle in his work: to achieve his own ends, to achieve his goals.

As for how many brave Red Army soldiers died and how many Soviet people were sacrificed for this, it was not in his consideration.

"Attack, I want you to attack immediately!! Send the 13th Siberian Tank Division, with five divisions, no, with eight divisions, to put the Chinese dead on the Kulen line. I want Outer Mongolia to achieve real reading power, this will be an absolutely good opportunity!

Don't care what the deserters say, or how they leak secrets, I want only one result: force the Chinese to admit that the foreign [***] stand. Tell them that if they oppose they will face an attack by hundreds of thousands of Red Army!! ”

At 5:40 a.m., 9 minutes after the outbreak of fighting on the Sino-Soviet border, Zhang Shusheng was woken up by an emergency call, picked up the phone, and after hearing the report from the microphone, he asked He Ning and Lu Yunyan to continue to sleep for a while, and he went to the Supreme Military Council of the People's Army: the military headquarters for a meeting.

"Stand up!"

At 5:50, 19 minutes after the border fighting broke out, the military dignitaries of the Chinese People's Army sat in the war room of the Supreme Military Council (Military Department) of the People's Army, the military base camp of the Führer, ready to hold a meeting.

"Sit down! The Soviets have made a move on us, Stalin is not small, and he still dares to dream of taking Outer Mongolia! Twenty years ago, when they tried to divide Mongolia, we were not reunified, and 40,000,000 people dared not speak out. Fortunately, Xu Shuzheng regained the dignity of the Chinese nation and kept Outer Mongolia. Today, it's them again.

Do you really bully me that there is no one in China, thinking that it is still the era of Tsarist Russia, and if you want the Nebuchu region, you will want the Nebuchu region, and if you want Vladivostok, you will want Vladivostok, and now it is the turn of Outer Mongolia for the second time, and the Soviet Russians will only climb over the snow-capped mountains for thousands of years and deceive me and no one in China. ”

As soon as Zhang Shusheng came up, he was furious, and slapped it on the table, which frightened the senior generals of the People's Army present to get up and stand up again.

Rarely had they seen the Chairman so angry.

It's rare to see it once in 10 years.

And every time the chairman is so angry, he will pay the price for appeasing the anger of the enemy with a great defeat.

Looking at the standing senior officers of the People's Army, Zhang Shusheng said coldly, "Raising soldiers for a thousand years, using soldiers for a while, there will never be an enemy who will wait for us to be ready to fight, and the Soviets will not really let us take advantage of the fisherman." I command! ”

Syllable! The high-ranking generals of the People's Army stood upright in unison.

"1 The General Staff immediately revised the previous operational plan for a counterattack against the Soviet Union in the Outer Mongolia region, and formulated an operational plan based on the latest situation on the front that was subsequently reported.

2. Order the Mongolian garrison to immediately enter a state of martial law, and the whole of Mongolia to enter a state of temporary military control, and resolutely crack down on any abnormal changes.

3. Xu Shuzheng was ordered to command the units of the People's Army in Mongolia with full authority, command the army and air force, and command the early battle. I only have one result, no matter how large the invading Soviet Red Army is, to stop them. In particular, the air force units stationed in Mongolia belong to the first-class configuration because of the Soviet Union, with a huge fleet and sufficient armaments, and they were ordered to prepare for air attacks on the Siberian frontline airfields, and while waiting for orders, send enough aircraft groups to protect our troops in operations and attack the Soviet Red Army. Since there is going to be a war, you can't hold back, and if the plane will only be parked on the tarmac and in the hangar, it will always be just a dead thing.

The 2nd Division of the 3rd Panzer Corps and the 2nd Brigade of the Reading Tank, which were stationed in Suiyuan (later Hohhot), were ordered to immediately advance in the direction of Kulen.

5 ordered the Northeast Garrison District, the Xinjiang Provincial Corps to immediately enter the second level of combat readiness in the direction of the USSR.

I would like to mention in particular that in every sudden battle, the attacked side is sudden, panicked, and unprepared at the beginning, while the enemy will take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle. At this time, instead of hesitating, we should not be cautious, or wait for the results of diplomatic protests before confronting the enemy, but should immediately block them and limit the war to the border areas, so as to avoid the loss of people's property and deter the enemy's will to attack!

This time, I was very determined to teach the Soviets an unforgettable lesson and let them know that Stalin's will, in front of us China, does not count bullshit. Any attempt to split China and Outer Mongolia will be resolutely countered by the People's Army.

China is not Poland, the USSR is Poland!! ”

With Zhang Shusheng's order, the highly centralized Chinese People's Republic of China was like a war machine that suddenly started, and the entire northern people's army began to operate rapidly. China, which was originally peaceful and developed its economy and foreign trade with peace of mind, instantly tore off its outer clothes and revealed the armor inside.

China, far more than Stalin had anticipated, reacted to this border war.

What seemed to be just a border war triggered by Stalin's personal will instantly became the fuse that could ignite the entire Sino-Soviet war, and Sino-Soviet relations were like dry wood poured with oil, which was about to erupt.
