Chapter 51: Withdrawal
Chapter 51: Withdrawal
"In the past half month, a large number of armed bandits from Central Asia have crossed the border, and dozens of armed lootings have occurred in Kashgar. More than 1,000 military and civilian casualties have been caused, and the economic losses have not yet been counted. Jiang Fangzhen's anger was written on his face, there were not many garrisons in Xinjiang, and Yang Zeng's original local armed forces in the new era were no more than one brigade, and then two cavalry divisions were formed on the spot, plus an infantry division of Chen Shufan sat in Dihua. In the Kashgar region, only one cavalry division survived, while the cavalry was based on the territory of the frontier army.
"There's more!" Jiang Fangzhen continued: "The foundation of the mountain combat brigade has been built, and the meaning of the cold rain made Wang Jing work a little hard, and he took the mountain combat brigade over to suppress bandits while training. ”
"Well, how is the troop suzhì?" Fang Jianxiong just asked casually, Leng Yu started as a special operation, and it is definitely elite to engage in a mountain brigade. However, the previous special operations division was split after returning from France, and some non-commissioned officers and veterans went to non-commissioned officer schools in various places to serve as instructors, and most of them stayed in Beijing and were reorganized into three central guard divisions. It is a tradition of the Wehrmacht to use non-commissioned officers and veterans of elite units to go to non-commissioned officer schools as instructors. Especially those non-commissioned officers and veterans who have experienced blood and fire on the battlefields of Europe, their experience on the battlefield is too valuable.
"Because of the tight schedule, the officers and non-commissioned officers were all drawn from the original special operations division, and the soldiers were mainly composed of elite veterans from various units who had returned from Europe. It should be able to form combat effectiveness very quickly, the key is the problem of equipment, I have seen the new submachine gun made in Wuhu, thrown in the mud pile for several hours, and there is nothing to do when it is fished out, but the accuracy of shooting is a little worse. "Jiang Fangzhen is still very satisfied with this new submachine gun, as the chief of the General Staff, it is not his business to come. This is the work of Zhang Xiaohuai, deputy chief of the general staff in charge of armament, and I will mention it here. The reason is that the designer of this submachine gun is someone Fang.
Fang is very thick-skinned now, and he will not feel the slightest shame because of plagiarism, five or six strokes and five or six half, the two most suitable rifles for poor countries, will naturally not let go. However, it is not yet the time for a full rearmament, and only special units such as mountain brigades can be qualified to be equipped as experimental fields. Although Wuhu can already be mass-produced, the current products are piled up in the warehouse, and they will be saved for ten years. As for the earlier single-shot 7mm rifles. At present, the production of arsenals in various places has been reduced, and it will have to be completely shut down in three years at most.
When it comes to equipment, Fang Jianxiong thinks that military spending has always been criticized by the opposition parties. The worst thing is China's geographical location, the country has a large population and a small number of troops, and it can't take care of it. Not to mention the harsh surroundings. If it weren't for Fang Jianxiong's appearance, it would have messed up the rhythm of this time and space. Britain, Japan, Russia, which of these countries do not want to take a bite of China. The most obvious is the problem of Mongolia, the Soviet Union, a small country in which Lenin three declared that he would renounce the unequal treaties signed by Tsarist Russia, and when Stalin came to power, not only did he return the country, but he also slashed at the Mongolian problem. Even a same-faith republic was born. Stalin still wanted to live and die in the concession of Lushun.
All in all, Lao Maozi was not satisfied, and this bird nation was almost crazy about the land.
With such a bad external environment, the country has only been improving for a few years. The bastards of the opposition party began to engage in three and four things. Who wouldn't want peacebuilding? When the Qing Dynasty was in the Qing Dynasty, I also thought about it, but the problem is that other countries have to promise you. Yuan Shikai doesn't want to? He also thought, but as a result, Germany did not dare to accept the return of Qingdao in parallel time and space, and Hine ignored the protests of the Republic of China and sent troops to Qingdao. also deliberately made a big detour, isn't it just thinking about trampling on the dignity of the Republic of China. Do you test Yuan Shikai's bottom line? Yuan Shikai is indeed scheming and plans to use razing to defeat raze, but unfortunately the United States will not take over the roots. In the final analysis, you still have no strength, and if you don't have strength, others will bully you. To put it mildly, if Yuan Shikai had the courage to fight with Japan on the Jiaodong Peninsula, Japan might not dare to expand the war. The Japanese Army has always been weak in strength and poor in equipment, and without the resources of Northeast China, it is impossible for the Japanese Army to reach the level of World War II equipment.
After a lot of hard work and hard work, it was in exchange for today's not too big threat, at least on land, Japan did not dare to take the initiative to provoke the Republic of China. It's like the Republic of China in history, Yuan Shikai wanted to be the emperor, the whole country was opposed, the people rebelled and left, and then Beiyang was in power, the whole country was divided into countless civil wars, and there was a-stirring stick surnamed Sun who was against the government. All in all, decades of civil war have raged, the people are struggling to make ends meet, and the country is extremely poor.
What is even more tragic is that due to the feudal monarchy system of more than 2,000 years and the servile rule of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, the people have no concept of the state, only the so-called imperial court. When Japan launched the war of aggression against China, there were more than one million puppet troops.
Without mentioning the gossip, Fang Jianxiong, who was holding the telegram, was distracted for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he didn't have too much anger in his heart. The so-called armed bandits outside the country should be a matter of history. Bandits on the border of Xinjiang have been plagued for many years, but they have not been eradicated. A large number of White Russians are scattered in the border areas, and there are several well-known bandits. Fang Jianxiong was still very impressed with a black lama. What is different from parallel history is that the Wehrmacht in this time and space has been suppressing bandits, and under normal circumstances, bandits do not dare to go deep into the hinterland of China. From this, it can be inferred that there must be an element of the Soviets behind the scenes.
"Call Leng Yu back, by the end of June at the latest, I hope to see the results I want to see." Fang Jianxiong came to such a sentence, Jiang Fangzhen didn't understand it very well, but he didn't ask on the spot, and when he went out, he saw that no one asked: "Fuguo, what did the call back just now mean?" "Fang Jianxiong has not told anyone else about this deployment, and the only people who know about it are Fang, Leng, Xu, and Wang.
"Baili, this matter is out of my mouth and into your ears, and you must not tell others about it. ……。 When Fang Jianxiong said this, Jiang Fangzhen was surprised, but he didn't ask more. He was a military expert, so he naturally knew the importance of the geographical location of Central Asia. If it really does what Fang intended, there is no doubt that the future threat to the Caucasus region will be huge.
In fact, Fang Jianxiong's arrangement was to go to the oil fields of the Caucasus. Bombers like the B17, once deployed in Andijan, are a nightmare for the Baku oil fields. Of course, the current Republic of China can't build a B17, the question is not to seduce Boeing?
Jiang Fangzhen knew very well that many of the things Fang Jianxiong had done would not be able to see the clues for a while. Just like what Fang said when he was in Germany, how much Jiang Fangzhen took it true at that time. It's just a young man's rhetoric, how can it be taken seriously? That's pretty much what it means, not to deny someone's talent, but when it comes to some plans, it's a different matter.
As a result, only four years after Fang Jianxiong returned to China, an army that swept through the southeast appeared and entered the north to live in Gyeonggi. After defeating Beiyang, looking back, who else in the country dares to block the edge of the National Defense Force?
Before Fang Jianxiong could get into the car, Xue Yue chased after him with a telegram and said loudly: "Fu Shuai, President Jiang, Commander Qi is calling." Jiang Fangzhen took the telegram and glanced at it quickly, handed it to Fang Jianxiong and said, "Isn't Kolchak going to spend this day?" Fang Jianxiong took a look, and Kolchak offered to exchange 150 tons of gold for the Volunteer Army to send troops to Omsk, and to purchase two wings of aircraft, and at the same time asked China to help train pilots.
One hundred and fifty tons of gold is equivalent to 200 million US dollars, that is, more than 450 million yuan. After taking out such a sum of gold, Kolchak was left with not much left.
"Call back, may I ask General Kolchak, even if our army sends troops to recapture Omsk, can we hold it?" After Fang Jianxiong finished speaking, he said to Jiang Fangzhen: "Go back, you can't go, wait for Qi Zhenghong to call back to confirm this matter." ”
Jiang Fangzhen shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "You just can't see real money." Fang Jianxiong smiled: "That's, who doesn't like real money?" If Kolchak is willing to take it out, I dare to ask for it. ”
Jiang Fangzhen said: "How to solve the logistical pressure? Have you thought about this question? Fang Jianxiong nodded and said, "If there is enough time, logistics are not a problem." Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Soviet-Polish war, it may not be impossible to make a difference. The key is not to let these hundreds of thousands of Soviet veterans go back easily, didn't Qi Zhenghong capture a lot of prisoners? To Kolchak is, the premise is to be clear and deal with the unstable factors. ”
"How much gold does Kolchak have in his hands?" Jiang Fangzhen asked with a smile, there was such a big benefit, and he was not unmoved. In the current Republic of China, the financial problems are not relaxed, and you can make a fortune. It's not that Fang Jianxiong hasn't thought about robbing openly, the problem is that his reputation has been ruined, and it will be difficult to attract foreign capital or something in the future.
"It's not clear how specific, it should be no less than five hundred tons. Intelligence intelligence showed that it was about 500 to 600 tons, and there were some Tsarist treasures. In fact, there were about a thousand tons of gold left over from the Tsarist period, and Kolchak only got about half of it. Baili, with this batch of gold, the new monetary reform can be boldly promoted. ”
Ubinskye, the railway station has been bombed no longer knows how many times, and Chinese planes come at least five times a day.
When another group of planes flapped their wings and disappeared into the sky, Stalin emerged from his bunker and silently watched the flying group. The stations along the Trans-Siberian Railway, since the beginning of the war, have been the focus of bombing by Chinese aircraft. It had only been two days since the withdrawal of troops from the banks of the Ob River, and the four infantry divisions responsible for the aftermath had already suffered more than 10,000 casualties.
The Chinese planes made the Trans-Siberian Railway a key bombing target, and Stalin organized the main forces to retreat, and there was no peace along the way. A lot of heavy equipment was abandoned, and there was no time to even blow it up. Fortunately, the snow began to melt, and the muddy roads made it impossible for the Chinese' fast troops to outflank the Soviet rear. Of course, the process of the Soviet army's own withdrawal was also very slow. The Chinese offensive was fierce, and the pressure on the troops after the break was great. On this 650-kilometer retreat road, I don't know how many corpses of soldiers will be left behind.
