Because Major General Liu Hongzhang, commander of the First Mechanized Brigade of the Corps directly under the Independent Division and commander-in-chief of the Outer Mongolian Sejingge River Defense Line, removed Major General Wang Qingshan, commander of the First Infantry Brigade of the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army, from his post, division commander Tang Qiuli was obviously very dissatisfied with Liu Hongzhang's move to affect the stability of the troops under the current situation of the great enemy, and ordered Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe to telegraph Liu Hongzhang to explain the reason, which was also an attitude of vague dissatisfaction.

Colonel Wang Jun, chief of staff of the Outer Mongolia Frontier Army, has a very good understanding of the temperament and temperament of the generals in the army, Wang Qingshan is a troublemaker master, coupled with his upright character, in peacetime, Sun Zhenbang, the commander of the Outer Mongolian Border Guards, has a lot to rely on, and has developed a temperament that does not care about it and acts recklessly.

I am familiar with the situation, and if I don't say it at this time, I will inevitably look a little angry with my subordinates, so I will stop it.

Tang Qiuli was stunned for a moment, staring at Wang Jun with puzzled eyes, but did not ask.

Wang Jun said: "Division commander, chief of staff, I know Wang Qingshan, a fierce general is not fake, but he can also cause trouble, and he loves to do some acts of resistance, Brigade Commander Liu's handling is mostly related to this, so I think that the current enemy should focus on maintaining the majesty of Brigade Commander Liu Hongzhang, so as to facilitate the command and coordination of two units that are not under the same command, and complete the tasks assigned by the division commander." ”

After listening to Wang Jun's words, Tang Qiuli's heart was a little bright, from a certain point of view, Liu Hongzhang and Wang Qingshan are the same type of people, two hot tempers meet together, it is strange not to make a little story, the dispute between the two is not for personal gain, it should be related to the command style and tactical arrangement. The big war is in full swing, and the most taboo generals in the army are disobedient and disrespectful, Wang Jun is thoughtful.

Therefore, Tang Qiuli smiled, and no longer mentioned the matter, but changed the topic and asked: "Chief of Staff Wang, I have been paying attention to the counterattack of the Sejingge River, has Sun Zhenbang returned to Kulun?" What is the injury? ”

Wang Jun showed a relaxed smile on his face. He replied: "Division commander, Commander Sun had been sent to the field hospital a few hours ago, and his injuries were not severe, and he was a piece of shell skin. Hit in the back, fortunately not in the fatal part. Plus the surgery was done in a very timely and successful manner. When I came back from the field hospital, Commander Sun was in good spirits and asked me to tell the division commander that within a week, I could continue to lead the troops to fight! ”

Tang Qiuli rubbed his hands with satisfaction, and said with a sigh: "I finally let go of half of my heart. Within one day, Liu Cuigang and Sun Zhenbang were wounded one after another, and in the battle of the Gehe River, two of our generals were injured in succession. This is something that has never happened in the history of independent divisions, and this account will be recorded by the Soviets, and when the time comes, it will be repaid with interest! ”

The phone on the "Jingle Bell" table rang urgently, and Zhao Yuhe picked up the phone, "Division headquarters, well, okay, I'll report to the division commander immediately." ”

"Division commander, the arrest command has called to report that two of the three leaders of the Outer Mongolia Independent League have been arrested, and the special operations detachment, together with the agents of the Investigation Department and the Intelligence Department, are searching for the last one, and the arrest operations in other places are progressing very smoothly."

Tang Qiuli nodded and said, "Liu Hongzhang's battle is over, let's wait for Shen Jun's news!" ”

As the members of the second echelon of the special combat detachment entered the lama monastery, the battle ended very quickly, and the special combat team members were able to free their hands and feet to fight hard without the restraint of the rat trap, and the battle in the lama monastery ended at about 5 o'clock in the morning on 20 September.

The special combat team attacked in the front, and the agents of the investigation department followed up in the back, counting the results of the battle, and the results of the battle showed that of the 178 separatist elements, 75 were killed, 45 were wounded, 56 were captured alive, 54 backbone elements, 12 were killed, and the rest were captured alive, of course, almost all of them were wounded.

The captured separatists, in a long line, were escorted out of the monastery, hit and killed trucks, and taken to where they belonged, where competent interrogators from the Investigation and Intelligence Divisions were waiting for them.

Shen Jun and Yu Deshui's hearts were not easy, so they stood at the gate of the lama temple, carefully identifying each separatist who was captured alive, and tirelessly checking every corpse, until the last corpse covered with a white cloth was carried away, and the two stood up.

After staring at each other for a long time, Yu Deshui spoke first, "No! Shen Jun shook his head, Tong Batu didn't know why, but Chu Tian understood what was going on, and said, "There is a big fish that has slipped through the net?" ”

Shen Jun frowned, his face was pale, and he looked a little restless, and replied: "Yes, the head of the Chu detachment, not only the big fish, but also the head fish, the chairman of the Outer Mongolian Independent League, Nimu Yadorji, has slipped through the net, and Tao Laizhao, the head of the separatist forces in the Saiyinshanda region, these two people. ”

Tong Batu understood and said: "It's impossible to escape, my soldiers, surround the lama temple to the ground, even if it's a bird, don't want to fly out, is it the subordinates of the two directors who have seen the wrong person?" Or, these two big fish are not in this net at all! Ask the Capture Operations Command in other areas to see if there are any findings? ”

Shen Jun and Yu Deshui shook their heads at the same time, and said affirmatively: "There is no such possibility, our agents are focusing on monitoring the three leaders and fifty-four backbone elements, the photos of the two, I don't know how many times, the two big fish must still be in the lama temple!" ”

Shen Jun turned his head to Chu Tian and Tong Batu and said, "Captain Chu, Brigade Commander Tong, what is your opinion?" ”

Chu Tian gritted his teeth and said calmly: "There is no doubt that I believe that the arrangement of Director Shen and Director Yu has no passage and possibility of escaping, so it is still hidden in the lama temple, since the big fish is still in the net, we will search again, even if it is three feet into the ground, we must dig out the two guys, otherwise, our arrest operation will be a failure, and no matter how many separatists are arrested, it will not help, what about the opinions of the three of you?" ”

Tong Batu said anxiously: "Then what are you waiting for? Even if we dig up this lama temple by the roots, we will not hesitate to go in, our soldiers! As he spoke, he gave the order.

Shen Jun hurriedly stopped him and said: "Brigade Commander Tong, don't be in a hurry first, I think about it this way, your troops continue to monitor the perimeter, and any person who appears within the cordon must be detained immediately, the special operations detachment and the agents of our two departments are mixed and grouped, and the search scope is divided, and each group is responsible for one place, and if it doesn't work once, come twice, and after repeated searches, you won't believe it, and you can't dig out the two big fish of Nimuya Dorji and Tao Laizhao!" ”

After the reorganization of the arrest team, they entered the lama monastery again and conducted a careful search, sparing every corner.

In the middle of the night of 22 September, it was a turbulent night for the Outer Mongolian steppe, full of tension and panic, and the investigation department and intelligence department of the independent division carried out a large-scale arrest of the members of the "Outer Mongolian Independent League" in their jurisdiction, together with the troops stationed in various places, and all those who were on the list were arrested.

Shen Jun and Yu Deshui, when formulating the arrest plan, fully implemented the order of the division commander Tang Qiuli, and would rather catch the wrong one than let it go, and in Saiyin Shanda, in Kobdo, in Uriya Sutai, in Khan Beinaoer, in Ulan Naonum, from the Gobi in the south of Outer Mongolia, to the grasslands in the west, and then to the vast land in the east, gunshots rang out everywhere, iron hooves clicked, and trucks sped away, turbulent the night in Outer Mongolia.

Among them, the arrest operation of Uriya Sutai was the most intense, and the commander of the Third Army of the Transcaucasian Military District of the Soviet Union, Major General Sergeyev, commanded two infantry divisions and an armored brigade, approached this place step by step, giving great encouragement to the separatists in the city, and one by one they were overjoyed.

The head of the "Outer Mongolian Independent League" in this area, an important member of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, estimated the form with great optimism, believing that the great Soviet Red Army, which was about to occupy the Uriya Sutai region, and that Comrade Stalin had sent the Red Army to liberate us, put forward a risky and stupid, but sounding blood-blooded plan, "to meet the Soviet Red Army with a large-scale armed uprising and a great operation to destroy the ranks of the warlords!" Good news to Comrade Stalin! ”

He thought so, and really did so, and gathered all the separatist elements of Uriya Sutai, and took the initiative to launch an attack on the Outer Mongolian border troops there, as well as the administrative organs of the Outer Mongolian Military and Political Commission Branch, the Secret Service and other departments.

A group of rabble, who had no military training and did not even have a few guns, launched such an attack on the heavily armed troops, and the result can be imagined, but the commander-in-chief of the command headquarters of the arrest operation in the place, the person in charge of the Uriya Sutai Sub-district of the Outer Mongolia Region of the Investigation Department, smiled from ear to ear, and he was worried about how to arrest these scattered guys in various places without missing a beating.

So, this attempted uprising, before it began, was declared over, when the captive forces, enthusiastic pre-war mobilization, a black hole of the muzzle, has been on their backs, in the entire arrest operation in Outer Mongolia, the arrest of the Uriya Sutai area, can be described as the most neat, the most worry-free, the shortest time to take action, before and after less than an hour, the list of targets, none of the net, but also with hundreds of more suspicious, the back of the head of the back of the guy, It's a windfall.

Therefore, Lieutenant Colonel Qi Shuanghe, head of the Outer Mongolia District of the Investigation Department, when he received a call from the person in charge of the Sutai Sub-district of Uriya, listened to the irrepressible triumphant tone of his subordinates, and then looked at his immediate boss, Director Shen Jun, with a black pot-like face, and whispered: "Just your kid's tail, come on, I know the situation, report to the director immediately!" ”

The agents of the special operations detachment, the investigation department, and the intelligence department conducted a second search of the lama temple, but found nothing, no wonder Shen Jun had a black face.
