Major General Tong Batu, commander of the Kulen Garrison Command, said that the revocation of martial law not only means that the residents of Kulen will return to normal life after that, but also that the streets and alleys will grow wings, and various versions of rumors will be self-defeating, especially the problem that the residents are worried about when the Soviet soldiers are fighting again.

Of course, the homes of the residents who were restless, or who had some intention to yawn and reckon with the separatists, and who had been arrested by the Special Operations Detachment and the Second Cavalry Brigade, also received a notice from the Cullen Garrison Command that their families had been detained on the grounds that martial law had been violated.

A big storm can be regarded as subsiding for the time being, but the gunshots that rang out in the streets and alleys of Kulun in the early morning still lingered in the hearts of the residents of Kulun with deep doubts, but it was just a secret guess, and they couldn't get it to the table.

Kulen, in the headquarters of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army, in the division commander's office, four members of the arrest operation command, Colonel Shen Jun, director of the Investigation Division of the Independent Division, Colonel Yu Deshui, director of the Intelligence Division, Colonel Chu Tian, head of the Special Operations Detachment, and Major General Tong Batu, commander of the Second Cavalry Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard, are reporting the results of the arrest operation to the division commander Tang Qiuli.

The report was presided over by Shen Jun, director of the Investigation Division, who said: "Division commander, the arrest operation began at 2 o'clock in the morning and ended at about 7 o'clock in the morning. Enkhtub Singh and Le? Enabhi was arrested one after another. ”

"In the process of arresting, our troops and agents suffered a total of 353 casualties and killed 768 separatist elements. Secretly detained on the spot, a surprise interrogation is underway, and the backbone elements of it are all taken to Kulen for interrogation, and none of the targets on the list have slipped through the net. ”

When Shen Jun reported, Tang Qiuli didn't say a word, just listened quietly. There was no expression on his face, and after the report, Shen Jun and the other four people all looked at the division commander with a calm face, and couldn't guess what he was thinking?

Tang Qiuli seemed to be a little tired and sighed slightly. said: "Very good, you four have worked hard. The arrest was a great success. It can be said that it is all in one net, hurry up the interrogation, Mei Xue's propaganda department personnel have intervened, you do a good job of cohesion, don't be in a hurry in the interrogation work, this is a slow simmering work. ”

"A reminder. In this arrest operation, all of them have been done, and has the uprooting also been done? This problem cannot be ignored and dug deeper. We must dig deeper, especially for those leaders and backbone elements, as well as stubborn or stubborn elements, we can use any means, I hope that after this large-scale arrest, within ten years, there will be no more internal troubles in the Outer Mongolia region! ”

Shen Jun and the four of them stood up together and replied sonorously: "Please rest assured, the division commander, eliminate the evil and cut the grass and roots!" ”

Tang Qiuli nodded with satisfaction, smiled warmly, and said, "Let's go back and get busy, I know that each of you has a lot of things on hand, so I won't delay your time!" ”

After the four of them saluted, they turned around and were about to leave, but Tang Qiuli shouted again, "Wait!" After a hard night's work, I must be so hungry that I am close to my heart, as the saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, the cooking class has prepared a meal, take a bite and then go back, Chief of Staff Zhao and I have something to deal with, so Chief of Staff Wang Jun will accompany you! ”

Shen Jun and the four of them were slightly stunned, and then, a warm current in their hearts swam all over their bodies, "Thank you, teacher!" "My throat choked a little.

Out of the division commander's office, on the way to the canteen, Chu Tian, the head of the special operations detachment, asked Colonel Wang Jun, chief of staff of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army, who was accompanying him: "Chief of Staff Wang, when Director Shen reported, I looked at the division commander's face, and it didn't seem to be very happy. ”

After Chu Tian's words were finished, Shen Jun and the others nodded sympathetically, and Shen Jun said: "That's it, while I was reporting, I was scared, and in less than thirty minutes, my shirt was soaked!" ”

Wang Jun smiled and said: "A few people are too careful, the division commander is very satisfied with this arrest operation, but before you came to report, I received a call from the field hospital, Commander Liu Cuigang's injury has a tendency to deteriorate, and the reason why the division commander is unhappy is here, not because he is dissatisfied with your work!" ”

After Shen Jun and the others left, the office seemed empty, leaving Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe, Tang Qiuli looked up and was distracted, and after a while, he said to Zhao Yuhe leisurely: "Yuhe, in the middle of the night, I have arrested more than 26,000 people, and I can't do it without causing a shock, according to my judgment, at least more than half of the separatists are enough to shoot the crime, and I can't say that I will go on a killing spree!" ”

Zhao Yuhe, however, reversed the cautious attitude of the special operations detachment and the Second Cavalry Brigade in shooting at the residents of Kulun in the early hours of this morning, and said: "Division commander, the results of the arrest operation have already come out, and we don't need to have too many concerns, as long as the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive, we must not be soft on those who should be killed, otherwise, the results of the battle will be greatly reduced, and we will not be able to warn those who have different aspirations, even if it is not enough to cut off the heads of the ground separatists, we must also be severely punished!" ”

Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Yuhe, haven't you always opposed the use of weapons, why, after a few hours, your attitude has taken a 180-degree turn, is it suddenly clear and you have figured it out, or is it because of me, forced to do so?" ”

Zhao Yuhe's face turned red, but he said with a straight face: "Before the incident happened, as your chief of staff, you must think about the matter carefully, as well as take into account the consequences caused, after the matter is over, what needs to be considered is to expand the value of the results to the maximum, which is not contradictory, not to mention concealing my personal opinion in order to obey your wishes, in that case, it is irresponsible to you and a dereliction of duty to myself!" ”

Tang Qiuli finally smiled brightly, nodded appreciatively, looked at Zhao Yuhe's steady back and walked out of the office, and suddenly remembered the former chief of staff, who is now doing cold benching in Dingbian, if you talk about comprehensive elements, Zhao Yuhe is slightly inferior to Chang Feng, but what Chang Feng lacks is Zhao Yuhe's ability to balance things, as well as his character of being good at adjusting his own thinking. In contrast, in the position of chief of staff, Chang Feng is too stiff and stubborn!

At about 8 o'clock in the morning, Liu Hongzhang's second telegram came, reporting the results of the counterattack, an hour and 40 minutes of fighting, a total of more than 5,300 Soviet troops were killed, more than 4,800 were captured, and a total of more than 10,000 enemies were annihilated.

At the end of the telegram, Liu Hongzhang explained in detail the reason for the dismissal of Wang Qingshan, commander of the First Infantry Brigade of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army, Tang Qiuli had not finished reading the telegram, Wang Junyou came in with a telegram, "Division commander, after receiving the telegram from Brigade Commander Wang Qingshan, how can I say it, full of grievances and unconvinced!" ”

Tang Qiuli rubbed his swollen temples, smiled to himself, and said: "Interesting, the lawsuits have all come to me, each has its own reason, Chief of Staff Wang, Wang Qingshan's telegram, what is the specific content, do you defend yourself?" ”

Wang Jun pondered slightly, and said a little helplessly: "Division commander, according to Wang Qingshan's own statement, Brigade Commander Liu's punishment decision is completely correct and in line with my judgment, after the ambush is over, Wang Qingshan made a big fuss at the General Headquarters, the fundamental reason is that he is not satisfied with the order to withdraw from the battle issued by Brigade Commander Liu, as far as his temper is concerned, if he feels that the battle is not enjoyable, he will make a disobedience move, fortunately, Wang Qingshan did not disobey the order, but came to settle accounts afterwards, and the impact was very bad!" ”

Tang Qiuli frowned slightly, and said: "This Wang Qingshan, his temper and anger are not small, in this way, in the name of the division headquarters, you issued an order to transfer Major General Wang Qingshan, commander of the First Infantry Brigade of the Outer Mongolia Frontier Army, to serve as the division commander's operational staff officer, it is better to temporarily transfer two people, otherwise, there will be a big mess!" personal disputes,"

Wang Jun opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to speak, he knew that the division commander had such a practice of punishing senior officers, such as the commander of the first mechanized brigade of the directly subordinate corps, Major General Liu Hongzhang, the number one fierce general of the independent division, and the two commanders of the aviation corps, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, all had similar experiences.

It will take quite a long time to get rid of the internal troubles, and it will take quite a long time to get the results, and all Tang Qiuli's attention is on the battlefield of the Sejingge River, and the battle situation is just as he judged, all day on September 22, the Soviet troops on the north bank were busy adjusting their deployment, and the troops that fled back inevitably brought trouble to the commander, General Kulygin, and the original battle plan.

After tossing for four days, they lost the beachhead on the south bank that they had managed to get with great difficulty, and lost more than 10,000 people, and the commander, Major General Wadkin, was blown up by mortar shells and returned to the original starting point, but the troops of the Transcaucasian Military District were not the original elite divisions with high morale.

Looking at the surging Sejingge River, General Kurygin was discouraged, he didn't know if he still had the courage to continue to repeat the previous attack, even if he was confident, what about the morale of the troops?
