Volume 4 Battle of Unification Chapter 551 White Tiger Town Western Regions

It is well known that the temper of Tukhachevsky was unbearable for many, and even if it were not for his military talent and courage, he would have been calculated by others long ago. Even so, even the strategist Frunze was full of praise for Tukhachevsky's military prowess, believing that he was a very talented marshal, and that in ten years Tukhachevsky would be more capable of commanding than himself.

Tukhachevsky often made small mistakes and mistakes, and his impatient personality was the main culprit that prompted him to make these mistakes. He never waits to do things, as long as he thinks of something, he must do it, and when fighting, he never waits patiently, but takes the initiative to attack and try all kinds of ways to eliminate the opponent. But at this time, the twenty-seven-year-old Tukhachevsky could not be called a master tactician, nor was he the genius marshal who was feared by Hitler in later generations, otherwise he would not have suffered a great defeat under the city of Warsaw, and led to the defeat of the entire Warsaw campaign.

But Tukhachevsky was favored by Lenin and the Russian people, because he was indeed a nationalist with firm values, courageous fighting and few selfish thoughts. In any single major nation-state, a nationalist is absolutely popular with the people. And his nationalist ideas were also disliked by Stalin, after all, Stalin was a Georgian, he was an ethnic Georgian, and he belonged to a minority, which is not difficult to understand why he frantically slaughtered more than five million Russians in his later period. Tukhachevsky was also disliked by Trotsky, a Jew who had always been very disgusted by the strong anti-Semitism in the Russian mind, and therefore did not like Tukhachevsky.

The only one who appreciates and has always supported and encouraged Tukhachevsky. The person who appointed him as the commander of the army group and the marshal was probably Vladimir, who was also of ethnic Russians. Ilyich. Ulyanov (Lenin) too.

It can be said that the great victory of Soviet Russia covered up the contradictions between Soviet Russia, the contradictions of interests, the contradictions of power, and the contradictions of ethnicity.

Russia is a vast territory with a number of ethnic autonomous principalities and states, all of which are subordinate jurisdictions attached to the territory of the Russian Empire, but they have their own national culture and traditions. For example, Georgia. They are Caucasians, one of the most primitive races, along with the Chechens. The hundreds of ethnic groups in Russia also made Russia difficult to manage, which led to the division of power within Russia.

It can be seen from the division of forces in the Soviet Union in the later period that Bukharin, who was killed by Stalin, was Russian, Zinoviev was Ukrainian, Kamenev was Russian, Pidakov was Russian, and Tukhachevsky was Russian. Blyukhar is Russian, and Yegorov is Tatar...... Most of those who survived were Southerners. Many of the northerners were killed.

Tukhachevsky was furious when he learned that he was the last group of troops to go north to encircle and annihilate the Kolchak army, and he had always thought that Frunze had a prejudice against him, and that he was fit to be a charging marshal rather than a nanny for everyone. Of course, Frunze said to Tukhachevsky that if you have time, you can come quickly.

Tukhachevsky immediately executed the 100,000 Russian prisoners in separate categories, killing all the officers among the captives, all the soldiers who volunteered to serve as Russian soldiers, and all the family members in the Tsarist sphere of influence. Of the 100,000 captives, only 30,000 remained. Tukhachevsky asked the captives: "Do you want to throw yourself into the arms of the great Soviets?" None of the captives objected, so Tukhachevsky had 30,000 more soldiers, and he went on the road with a light and strong army, leading the 5th Army north to encircle and suppress Kolchak.

Of course, Kolchak was not idle, he ordered 600,000 troops to storm Moscow at once, and quickly advance. A large-scale battle took place in Moscow, with up to two million troops involved. Kolchak, for its part, had 600,000 troops, while the Moscow defenders had 300,000 regular troops. With 200,000 guerrillas, more than 600,000 militia replenishment, and 300,000 troops from the southeastern front that had returned from Ufa to encircle and annihilate, this unprecedented battle began.

In Ufa, Berevije once again proposed to unite the squadron in the face of the tsar, although Nicholas II did not like the squadron, but now if he wants to save the war, there is no other way but to ask the squadron for help. He sent an envoy to Utkin to chase after the Chinese intervention army, but this time Wang Maoru did not meet with Nicholas II regularly, and Wang Maoru would not trust this capricious Russian.

When Wang Maoru refused, Nicholas II angrily said that we could ask the British for help, but then learned that the British army division had also withdrawn, and their task was to escort the arms and take away the gold that had been purchased instead of fighting the Russians. This batch of arms is said to be support, but in fact, Tsarist Russia also needs to pay in gold, and it is not completely provided free of charge. The British had fulfilled their duty as allies by staying to help the tsar defend Ufa, and now they were going back. Faced with the point of isolation, Nicholas II was disappointed by the recurrence of his old illness, vomiting blood and passing out.

In distant Almaty, Wang Maoru is closely studying the candidates for the left-behind troops, and he can't delay here any longer, he is going to return to his old nest. However, this place in the outer northwest could not be left to others lightly, so he set his sights on Xinjiang. Xinjiang overseer Yang Zengxin is now sitting on pins and needles, repeatedly sending people to Wang Maoru's place, hoping that Wang Maoru's army will not cross the border -- this is simply impossible, if you want to return to China, how can you go back if you don't pass through Xinjiang?

After thinking about it, Wang Maoru decided to leave behind two army divisions and one Turkic cavalry division, and to form another cavalry division in the outer northwest, and at the same time annex Xinjiang, and merge the outer northwest and Xinjiang into a military region, so that after having nearly 100,000 army and civilian troops, the security of the western region can be guaranteed. He carefully considered the troops left behind, and thought that Ren Yuanxing's character was the most suitable for this complex and changeable place, and with him was Zhu Yongquan, who had partnered with him in Mongolia, and the two cooperated with each other to check and balance each other, with Ren Yuanxing as the commander-in-chief and Zhu Yongquan as the chief of the general staff. The army that stayed behind was naturally Ren Yuanxing's Third Army Division, and Wang Maoru, another army division, considered that the battle here was severe and was not suitable for bringing back to China, so he left the Tenth Army Division.

After making a plan in his heart, he found Ren Yuanxing and Zhu Yongquan and told them his plans, and after a little consideration, the two expressed their willingness to stay in the outer northwest and Xinjiang. Wang Maoru said with a smile that this northwest should not be called like this, and this place should be named after the Toklau River in the west, the Sino-Kazakh border in Xinjiang in the east, the Altai Mountains and the Irtysh River in the north, and the Balkhash Lake in the south, covering an area of about 320,000 square kilometers. Several of the main staff officers considered it and thought that the name was Tessy Province, which was taken from the meaning of the province west of the Altai Mountains. South of Lake Balkhash to the border with India, 380,000 square kilometers of land, including Almaty, later Kyrgyzstan, most of Tajikistan, until the Pashtun Empire (Afghanistan) bordered the three countries of India, this area is unanimously named Anxi Province, taken from the meaning of the famous Anxi Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty.

In Wang Maoru's plan, in the future, Taixi Province, Anxi Province, and Xinjiang Province will be the three provinces of the Republic of China, and he is also preparing to plan to divide Mongolia into three provinces, and divide Tangnu Wulianghai and Western Mongolia into Saibei to become the five provinces of Saibei in the future, that is, to establish the Saibei Military Region. In the future, the Saibei Military Region will be the most important area for China to contain Central Asia, and it will also be the most important strategic place for containing Russia (or the Soviet Union). However, the future Saibei Military Region will definitely be an extremely difficult war-torn area, because it will also be the area with the most conflicts, the most fierce battles, and the most abundant resources due to the multi-ethnic settlement.

Wang Maoru then ordered a meeting of all officers to attend, and in the presence of the commander of the Japanese Intervention Force, General Shirakawa Yoshinori, a lightning-fast military appointment letter was issued:

The 3rd Division, the 10th Division, the 16th Cavalry Division, and the 1st Independent Cavalry Division, the 1st Bombardment Brigade of the Air Force, and the 1st Airship Transport Brigade will be formed into the White Tiger Regiment to defend western China. The establishment of this army means that 1,400 years later, there will once again be another Anxi army in Central Asia to protect the dignity of the Chinese nation.

There is no doubt that Ren Yuanxing served as the commander of the White Tiger Legion, and then Wang Maoru appointed Zhu Yongquan as the chief of staff of the White Tiger Legion, Yan Shichao as the military chief of the White Tiger Legion, You Shuqun as the logistics chief of the legion, and Chang Guosheng as the propaganda chief.

Wang Jiejun, the former commander of the 3rd Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Army, was promoted to the commander of the 3rd Division and replaced the commander of the Yuanxing Division.

Zhang Baowu, the former commander of the 9th Cavalry Brigade of the 3rd Division of the Army, was promoted to the commander of the 11th Cavalry Division, replacing the deceased Guo Buluo. Long Qing.

Appointed Guo Buluo, commander of the former machine gun battalion of the First Division of the Army. Rong Hai was promoted to commander of the Saibei Cavalry Division (independent brigade establishment, directly under the command of the corps).

The White Tiger Regiment, as the first regiment to be separately divided from the Northeast Frontier Army, will independently assume the command and combat functions, and will be under the dual command of the General Staff Headquarters and Wang Maoru, and its command order will be based on Wang Maoru's order as the highest military order. Of course, the White Tiger Legion does not have the power to recruit soldiers, appoint officers above the regimental level, produce, purchase, and customize equipment, and their only role is to fight and eliminate border troubles.

Since the secret treaty between China and the Soviet Union has not yet been revealed, the mission of the White Tiger Army in the three northern provinces is not open for the time being, and General Shirakawa Yoshinori is also very surprised that Wang Maoru has such courage to occupy Russian territory, not to mention the division of territory, which simply does not take the Chinese Beiyang government into account. At the same time, Shirakawa Yoshinori also lamented that it was a pity that this Chinese had such talent, but was not Japanese. Fortunately, Wang Maoru can't read minds, otherwise he has to vomit blood, what good is there about the Japanese, small countries and widows, narrow-minded, and at the same time because of cultural influences, the vision never takes a long-term view, Japan can do fine things very well, but they can't see the world clearly, who are they small countries and widows.
