Xinjiang Frontier Supervision Sheng Shicai's considerations, all according to their own benefits and risks, although this is a very brain-hurting job, but for their own hole cards, nothing matters!

The special operations detachment of the independent division took advantage of Xinjiang, which was certainly an opportunity to befriend Tang Qiuli, but in this way, it was bound to cause dissatisfaction among the Soviets, especially when the Soviet army was in hot pursuit of the special operations detachment, and the small units of the independent division entered Xinjiang and could not hide it from the Soviets.

What if, not just in case, but very likely, the Soviets asked themselves to send troops to help block the retreat of the special operations detachment, from the Ural Mountains all the way to the Xinjiang border, it can be seen that the Soviets are determined to win this small force of Tang Qiuli, and they are very resolute in their determination to kill each other, and they have chased six or seven hundred kilometers and have not given up, which is very telling.

Another point, what should the pursuing Soviet army do if it enters the territory of Xinjiang and continues to pursue and kill small units of the independent division?

Refuse? That's unrealistic, because such a big thing, saying that it's not big, it's not small, and ruining the good relationship with the Soviets that he has painstakingly managed, obviously outweighs the losses, especially since the Soviets also promised that in the near future, there will be enough weapons and ammunition to equip a division, which will be delivered soon, and compared with these weapons and ammunition, the opportunity to befriend Tang Qiuli is obviously not enough!

If the Soviet army is allowed to fight in Xinjiang, then it is not good to send troops to help or stand idly by, this matter cannot be concealed from people's ears and eyes, hanging the vice chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government, under one person in the Republic of China, above ten thousand people, or in other words, Tang Qiuli, who stands side by side with two heroes and holds more than two million heavy troops. Is it a good match? The members of the national government alone were destroyed in the hands of this person, and there were several of them!

Knowing that thousands of people under his heart were destroyed on his own territory, and he stood by and watched, Tang Qiuli was angry and sent troops to Xinjiang, he couldn't bear such anger, even if the Soviets sent troops, it wouldn't matter, otherwise. It would not have been in the Outer Mongolia region, which was beaten to the head by the independent division and returned with two major defeats, for the Outer Mongolian war, which was close at hand and only separated from Xinjiang by a border. Sheng Shicai is dizzy and fascinated!

Thinking about it, Sheng Shi thought. We must not put the special operations detachment into trouble. put it into Xinjiang, but the detachment leader named Chutian gave himself a clear telegram, and it was impossible to refuse.

The only way. It is to let this small force of the independent division completely disappear into the territory of Kazakhstan and cut off this scourge, so as to do so. has nothing to do with himself, Sheng Shicai had a poisonous plan and decided to borrow a knife to kill people.

So, at the behest of Sheng Shicai, a confidential staff officer of the Xinjiang Frontier Supervision Office, after getting drunk, accidentally leaked the route map of the retreat of the special operations detachment to a military attache of the Soviet Consulate General in Xinjiang, and this road map immediately flew to the General Military Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff of the Soviet Army in the fastest and most confidential way.

The Soviets destroyed more than a hundred field airfields and captured a small unit of the independent division of General Jonasov, commander of the Far East Forward Command of the Air Force, and these damned Chinese, although the commander of the Outer Mongolian Front, General Vasilevsky, scattered tens of thousands of troops, but from the west of the Ural Mountains, chased six or seven hundred kilometers into Kazakhstan, and found nothing.

This small unit of the independent division, which was extremely strong in combat and whose whereabouts were erratic, came and went freely in the large net laid by tens of thousands of troops, like a slippery loach, and all the small units that came into contact with it or encountered did not leave any clues except for turning into corpses, and the pressure on the General Directorate of Military Intelligence was increasing, not only in the face of doubts from the field troops, but also from the disappointment of Comrade Stalin.

Now, having finally caught the tail of these cunning Chinese, with this road map, the fate of this small unit of the independent division is in the hands of the pursuing troops, and the General Directorate of Military Intelligence immediately sent the information to Major General Vasidsky, head of the defense department of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front, who was in charge of pursuing the special operations detachment.

Major General Vasidsky, who was emaciated and anxious, held this telegram, his hands trembled, almost crying with joy, no one had his own personal feelings, the days of the pursuit were very bitter, at first he was full of confidence, with the mentality of chasing prey, but later, he didn't know who was the prey and who was the hunter.

Tens of thousands of pursuing troops, scattered in the vast and desolate land of Central Asia, were dragged exhausted and miserable by the Chinese, large troops gathered together, unable to reach the scope of the search, small units scattered, expanded the search area, and repeatedly attacked, and when they found that they could not be contacted, they gathered enough troops and rushed to the battlefield with great difficulty, except for the corpses everywhere and the little food left, the Chinese seemed to disappear into thin air, and there was no trace of them.

After more than ten days of entanglement, counting up, the Soviet soldiers who fell under the guns of the special operations detachment were not ten thousand, but eight or nine thousand, and the pursuing troops did not even see a single Chinese corpse.

Major General Vasidsky is really exhausted and exhausted, no matter what method he takes, he is full of wisdom, repeatedly sets traps, spreads a wide net, and the cunning Chinese can always escape unscathed, and by the way, bite himself.

Later, Major General Vasidsky even hallucinated, these Chinese who fled hundreds of kilometers were ghosts that could not be killed, and the air that could not be grasped, and now, with this information, everything should be over.

Holding the telegram in his hand, Major General Vasidsky seemed to be holding a treasure, "Order, the armored regiment closest to Karaganda and Lake Balkhash to rush to the area immediately, order, the 157th and 158th regiments, which are operating with me, as well as two special service battalions, are immediately on their way to the target area!" He gave the order loudly.

But this is far from enough, this is a golden opportunity to encircle the Chinese, these forces are far from enough, at this time, Major General Vasidsky regretted a little, the troops were too scattered, if it was necessary to gather enough troops, there was no more than ten days, it could not be done, he still gave an order, "All the pursuing troops, the area between Karaganda and Lake Balkhash as the assembly destination, must be arrived as quickly as possible, otherwise, military law will be engaged!" ”

Major General Vasidsky was anxious, he was afraid that if the special operations detachment left that area, he would pounce again, but with the current strength, if he wanted to encircle and annihilate it completely, it was still not enough to see it, and the terrifying combat effectiveness of the soldiers of this small unit of the independent division made him feel a cool breeze in the back of his head when he thought about it!

Still a staff officer, seeing the anxiety of Comrade Minister, hurriedly offered: "Comrade Minister, at present, the troops closest to our target, that is, the strength of the armored regiment and two infantry regiments plus two special service battalions, moreover, it will take at least five hours to arrive, and if we delay too long, I am afraid that if those Chinese leave here, we will not get anything!" ”

Major General Vasidsky was so angry that his nose was spurting rough, his eyes were like knives, waiting for this somewhat proud staff officer, and he scolded angrily in his heart, "Isn't this nonsense, what am I anxious about, aren't I worried about this, and use you to let go of tasteless idle fart?" “

Seeing that Comrade Minister's face was not kind and that he had a tendency to be violent, this staff officer did not dare to show off, and hurriedly said: "Comrade Minister, we can order the local Soviet government to dispatch local troops, or militia, to drag the Chinese there first, and it only takes five or six hours, we can arrive, and then surround them first, and then the troops scattered all over the place will arrive, and the Chinese will not escape!" ”

"Okay?--!" Major General Vasidsky applauded loudly, patted the staff officer on the shoulder, praised it, and immediately gave an order to the local Soviet government, but not in the name of the head of the security department of the headquarters of the Outer Mongolian Front, but in the name of the counterintelligence commissioner in the Lake Chekabalkhash area, for the local Soviet government, the deterrent power of the Cheka was far greater than that of the troops.

Therefore, after a short rest, when the special operations detachment was about to continue on its way, it was surrounded by a swarm of local tribal forces, about 15,000 people, and the special operations detachment was unfamiliar with the place after all, and when facing these local snakes, it was very unfavorable, and after fighting for more than five hours, it still could not get rid of the entanglement of the tribal armed forces; fortunately, the weapons and equipment of the tribal armed forces were not good, and there was no combat effectiveness, and the special operations detachment did not appear to be killed.

Major General Vasidsky, commanding an armored regiment, two infantry regiments, and two special service battalions, rushed to the battlefield, and the Soviet troops surrounding the special operations detachment, plus the tribal forces, reached more than 28,000 troops, and the special operations detachment could no longer walk, and was besieged in an area of no more than a few dozen square kilometers between Karaganda and Lake Balkhash.

Looking at the wind blowing up the dust, the dusky blowing yellow, the sunset falling in the west, dyeing the desolate Gobi and grasslands red, and then looking at the soldiers who were already tired, Chu Tian looked up to the sky and sighed, he couldn't go anymore, the sky was about to get dark, the terrain was unfamiliar, the Soviet army far surpassed his own strength, and forcibly broke through, even if he broke through, at least more than one-third of the soldiers of the special operations detachment would stay in this desolate land forever.

Chu Tian looked at the map, he was very strange, the Soviet army chased him for more than ten days, and that time he could get rid of it smoothly, in the middle of the big net of tens of thousands of Soviet troops, he came and went freely, what happened this time?

The Soviet troops came suddenly, and, moreover, they felt their location so accurately, there must be a problem?

Chu Tian suppressed his doubts and said to the chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel Qi Hanzhi: "Convey my order, build fortifications on the spot, count the ammunition of each detachment, pay attention to saving, and in addition, send a telegram to the division commander asking for help, explaining the situation we are facing!" ”
