The weapons left behind by the Soviets are definitely a great treasure.

Originally, the Kuomintang's plan was to give the Communist Party 180 Soviet-made rifles, and the rest to serve by themselves. This is already a very conscientious division, you must know that Chiang Kai-shek's original plan was not to leave even a single hair to the Communist Party. Unfortunately, Chiang Kai-shek also knew that his plan was not feasible at all.

There are a lot of weapons, but they are all in the hands of the Soviets before they are handed over. And the Soviets, in turn, were controlled by the Communists.

Maybe that sounds a little unbelievable. Timoshenko led a mechanized force of 200,000 people, and if it weren't for the bad weather and the opponent Ishihara Waner, who didn't play his cards according to common sense, I am afraid that even in the face of a million Japanese troops, he would dare to sweep over. And the Communist Party has tens of thousands of troops on the Kulen side, let alone controlling the Soviet army, and I am afraid that it does not even have the position to say a word. But the fact was that the Communists "controlled" Timoshenko and his troops.

The means are very average.

The first Soviet unit to reach Khalkha was the Air Force, which numbered as many as 800 aircraft. But it was precisely because of the large number that the airfield in Cullen could not fully accommodate it, so it had to be diverted. And this diversion, coupled with a landing...... This Soviet Air Force did not run. Because it was winter! Without the help of the Communists to sweep the snow off the airport, your Soviet planes would not have been able to fly, no matter how capable they were. The pilot swept himself? Okay, you sweep away! With just a few people, before they swept out two meters, the place they had just swept was covered with snow again. What's more, the planes have been diverted, and the ones in Kulen are better, and in other places, even if you want to clear the snow, the Communists may not be able to prepare tools for you.

The Air Force is easy to handle. After that, there was Timoshenko's large army.

The weapons of the Soviets were resistant to cold and were also leather. Especially tanks and armored cars, cars and whatever. It can also be driven in winter, and the Soviets themselves are frost-resistant, so the combat effectiveness is equally strong in winter. But you have to eat, right? You've got to have somewhere to live, right? Temoshengo had supplies to carry with him, but those things were enough for 200,000 troops to eat for a few days? Originally, because the Japanese were "blossoming and bearing fruit" in their rear, their logistics were cut off, and the rations were already a little tight, plus the battle, and running from Ulan-Ude over the mountains and mountains into Khalkha, it had already been almost consumed. So more food had to be demanded from the Communist Party. And that's exactly what Timoshenko did at first. He was still very polite, but the people sent by the Communist Party did not see him again for several days, and then his tone softened. Of course, it wasn't that Timoshenko hadn't thought about turning his face. The Soviets have always been bullies, especially when they are strong. They are more committed to "what's mine is mine." What's yours is also mine". But Mao Zedong and those people never showed up after greeting him at the beginning and shaking hands with him. There was not a single pasture within two hundred miles of their temporary station. In other words, after turning his face, he can only find food by himself...... And obviously. He couldn't do that.

Therefore, the 200,000 Soviet mechanized troops, which were enough to fight against a million Japanese troops, were controlled by a group of "dirt eight roads" whose strength was far weaker than them.

If it weren't for the fact that the Communist Party had not done too much, they would have had to do nothing but wait a few months. When the winter passed, Timoshenko and his troops had to starve and freeze to death. In this way, the Communist Party was able to collect the equipment of 200,000 mechanized troops for nothing, and Chiang Kai-shek could only watch but was helpless.

But the Communist Party also has to think about the future. So they negotiated with the Kuomintang.

And in the end, after receiving Qin Wei's warning, in order to let the troops receive weapons as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness, Lao Jiang finally gave up the original unrealistic idea. Although he slashed the standard given by Qin Wei and cut the quota for the Communist Party again, the "Tu Balu", which had always been known for its poverty, ushered in a new era. Because in addition to the most important tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery, the 200,000 Soviet troops also had a huge number of light weapons.

Originally, Stalin hoped that these small arms would be taken away by the Soviets themselves, at least most of them. In this regard, the Communist Party and the Kuomintang are quite easy to speak, and after promising a few benefits without evidence, they will pass, but Qin Wei, a person without party affiliation, is not having a good time. Chuikov tried his best, but he couldn't convince Qin Wei to agree to let their men take even a single bullet. Even, because Cui Kefu made cruel remarks on the way, this cargo also sent the two squadrons of "Hellcat" that had just flown over from the Philippines not long ago to Guisui and stopped at the airport under Fu Zuoyi's control. As for the purpose of doing this, it is self-evident: if you dare to take away a little thing that Lao Tzu does not allow you to take away, Lao Tzu will dare to shoot down your plane! In this regard, the Soviets wanted to cry without tears. Because they obviously have all kinds of skills of the "Hellcat", but they have not yet developed an aircraft that can fight against them, and they have not even been able to copy them. Not only that, Qin Wei also issued an order through the Military Commission, ordering the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army stationed in Khalkha to move south...... In other words, no matter how much nonsense you talk about, Lao Tzu will starve you to death!

The Soviets, especially Stalin, were also extremely knowledgeable. They finally realized that after the loss of Siberia, they could only be regarded as a European country, and their influence on the Far East, especially China, was far less than before. Not only did the Chinese government no longer fear them, but even the Communist Party turned away from them...... According to their informants within the Chinese Communist Party, the main reason why the Communist Party was so defensive and wary of the Soviet army was because of the hundreds of thousands of Siberian "labor camps" that were still growing. Such a large mass of prisoners was very uncomfortable for the "undetermined" Communists. Although the people in Moscow did not believe this reason, they could only put aside their previous arrogance and began to negotiate with China in a more egalitarian tone. But they faced not only Chiang Kai-shek, but also Qin Wei. Moreover, because the Soviet Union no longer borders China, because of dissatisfaction or fear of the current policy of the Soviet Union, because it has to face the Japanese army in Siberia and the Northeast, because of the ...... For other reasons, the Communist Party also wanted to keep all the weapons of the 200,000 Soviet troops, so it refused to negotiate with them in private.

And just like that, the Soviets had to give in. All the weapons were left behind, and only the people were gone. Even the 800 planes could only carry 200 of them, and almost half of the remaining nearly 600 were bombers.

And almost all of these things are in the hands of the Communist Party, and the only trouble is those heavy weapons. The Communists were unable to build them into combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and they did not have a lasting supply of fuel. In addition, they are only the Eighth Route Army, and the Kuomintang is the central government, and the name of righteousness is not enough. So, after some negotiations, the Communists finally acquired Soviet-made guns and mortars that could arm 35,000 men, as well as some other equipment, at the cost of only a small number of heavy weapons. Of course, before that, the Communists tempted the demoralized Soviet soldiers with food, and those things that were exchanged from the other side did not count. Because the Communist Party did not admit it, and the Soviets did not investigate, it was impossible for the Kuomintang to send people to investigate little by little...... Not to mention the Communist Party, the Soviets don't have that skill, and they are anxiously waiting to go home.

But now, light weapons are not counted, but the heavy equipment of the Communist Party is suddenly gone.

……

"They're not going to take the risk of attacking the people we've sent, are they?"

The Kuomintang was worried. The Communists had tanks, armored vehicles, large-caliber artillery, which was already very troublesome, and now it has disappeared without a trace...... Violence without regulation is terrible, let alone the Communist Party, an old rival? According to calculations, after this "deal" with the Soviets, the strength of the Communist Party in terms of weapons and equipment alone has already ranked second in China, and it is definitely ahead of the Gui faction, the Jin Sui faction, the Yunnan faction, and other Kuomintang factions. If it weren't for the fact that the other side was still hiding in Khalkha and had to face the Japanese army in Siberia and the northeast at any time, and that these weapons had been "controlled" by the Communists before, Lao Chiang would not have agreed to the previous distribution agreement. And now the Communist Party has played such a trick again...... How could he not be worried? He had planned to wait for the Communists to run out of fuel and then take advantage of the situation to take back those heavy weapons again.

"I don't think the Communist Party should be so bold." Chen Cheng said: "Although Khalkha is now far from the emperor, the situation of the Communist Party is also extremely dangerous. If they do such a thing at this time, won't they be asking for their own death? ”

"In any case, there are also Mongolian people. Although we have never recognized it, Outer Mongolia has actually become independent before. Now the Communist Party has fled there and has basically grasped all the power there, including many Outer Mongolian cavalry...... If they send these troops to deal with our people, and then they will push two or six or five again, who can do anything to them? Chen Guofu said in a deep voice.

"Where have our people gone?" Chiang Kai-shek was a little distracted by Chen Guofu's conspiracy theories, which he had done before. As for treating others with oneself, the Communist Party has suffered so many losses from him, and it may not have such thoughts. In addition, there were not many troops he sent to Khalkha to receive these weapons, and the main goal was to bring back those tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, guns and ammunition first. Anyway, the Soviets had cars, they were all ready-made. But such a force will certainly not be able to stop the Communist Party.

"Yesterday's report, the vanguard has passed through Sainshanda. It should not be long before you can enter Inner Mongolia. Fu Zuoyi's cavalry had already taken over. He Yingqin hurriedly replied.

"What about the Air Force? Are there any enemies nearby? Chiang Kai-shek asked again.

"It's been quiet until now." He Yingqin said again: "The Japanese have an agreement with us, and according to Qin Wei's intelligence, they still want to plot big things, so they should not start a war at this time." ”

"But I'm talking about the Communist Party!" Chiang Kai-shek shouted: "You tell me what ...... the Japanese have?"

"Bang!"

The door was knocked open again, and the person who hit the door was still Tang Zong.

"What's the matter?" Chiang Kai-shek was still very angry, but seeing Tang Zong's excited and even a little frightened expression, he still had to suppress his anger.

"Headmaster, Japan has declared war on the United States!" (To be continued......)
