Chapter 923: He Rufei's Western Regions Army Consolidation Plan
Kurkova came over and rubbed Saslya's head, like a sister who pities the most, and said with a wry smile: "You, you, alas...... Will you go again tomorrow? ”。
Saslia smiled happily, clasped the corners of her skirt with both hands, and said with innocence and anticipation: "Of course, I will, I just need to rest for a night to recover." Head nurse, can you help me buy some medicine and supplements for Leonida? I...... I...... I don't want him to know about it. ”
"Do you think that with such a small prisoner of war camp as ours, Leonida will never know?". Kurkova couldn't help but ask.
Saslya was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss, thought for a long time, pulled the gentleman with both hands, lowered his head and said: "If you can hide it for a day, you can live a day, and in a few days I will earn enough, and Leonida will recover, won't he?" Head nurse, don't you say? ”
"I don't know." Kurkova whispered the truth.
Saslya seemed to be unaware of anything, and she happily hummed a Russian folk song before saying: "I want to make more money, I want to make Leonida healthy, and in the future we will be a happy couple." Head nurse, will you bless us and will you help us? ”。
Kurkova nodded and said, "I will." ”
In the second question, Kurkova found the adjutant Gu Yunfei and raised the question of buying medicines, Gu Yunfei smiled and said I am not good at selling this medicine, you still have to find someone else, there is a provision in the policy of the Wehrmacht that you must not buy and sell military supplies without permission, otherwise there will be no mercy, and I dare not do this as an adjutant. Kurkova did not give up and went to the medical corps to buy it. The medics immediately refused. This made Kurkova very sad, but a few veterans took pity on Kurkova, saying that you will definitely not be able to do this. It's better to buy it directly from the wounded soldier and ask them to save a little medicine and sell it to you. Kurkova immediately became excited, and bought medicine from the wounded soldiers, but the price of the medicine was really expensive, and the twenty yuan was quickly gone, but fortunately at this time Saslya brought another hundred dollars.
Leonida's condition gradually improved, but Sasria became more and more thin and withered. Kurkova saw that she was anxious in her eyes and could not help anything.
One day, Song Chongshi found her. He said: "We contacted Brigade Commander Zhao Ajiu, and he confirmed your identity, and in a few days all the prisoners of war will be taken to the Almaty prisoner of war camp, but you will get zìyóu." Brigadier Zhao arranged a place for you to live in Almaty. This is the address and contact. When you get over there and follow this address, someone will contact you and arrange a qiē for you. You are lucky, Zhao Ajiu has not been married for so many years, maybe he is waiting for you. ”
Kurkova looked at the red glow of the sunset, as if blood was sprinkled in the sky, and the prisoner of war camp was immersed in despair under this joy. Fall, as well as sacrifice.
――Dividing Line――
For the military chief He Rufei's interference. Ren Yuanxing and Zhu Yongquan, the old partner, still had a trace of unhappiness in their hearts, Yan Shichao, the military chief of the White Tiger Legion, and Luo Dingguo, the logistics chief, both expressed doubts about this, but He Rufei knew how to be a man, and after coming to the Western Regions Military Region, he did not suppress people with officials, but said that he came specially to be a chef to cook a delicious meal for everyone, and ensure that the soldiers have sufficient combat effectiveness to deal with the remnants of Tsarist Russia.
The commanders of the three corps of the Western Regions Military Region, Ren Yuanxing, Chen Jiongming, and Du Baosan, expressed their willingness to be under the management of Chief He Military Affairs, and they would definitely kill the enemy and serve the country. Later, He Rufei chatted with each corps commander and division commander separately to dispel their concerns, and he would never point fingers at what he didn't understand. He Rufei has very deep qualifications, and there are few people in the army who have the same experience and qualifications as him, so they have expressed their support for He Rufei's overtures. And because He Rufei was the leader of the Lu Department, some officers reported to him first and then reported to Ren Yuanxing, which directly aroused the dissatisfaction of Ren Yuanxing, the commander of the Western Regions Military Region, and he couldn't understand why He Rufei wanted to win over the low-level officers.
When Chen Jiongming came to visit Ren Yuanxing, he said angrily: "General He seems to have gone too far, what are you messing around in the Western Regions?" ”
"How?"
"He is now preparing for the large-scale training activities of the reserve regiment, and he has seconded a lot of soldiers to me, saying that he will train more paramilitary forces to prepare for big wars in the future." Chen Jiongming said angrily, "But our task is heavy now, how can we have time to prepare any reserve regiment?" Besides, now that the herders and immigrants are preparing for chūn farming, we are all a headache for us to be so foolish. Some herdsmen's representatives have already complained to my staff, and there is no need for that. ”
"There is still a necessity." Ren Yuanxing said, "Strengthening the reserve forces is also preparing for war." ”
"As for the remnants of Tsarist Russia, those troops?" Chen Jiongming said authentically, "Don't talk about your army, it's enough to use my troops, as for all the soldiers?" ”。
Ren Yuanxing smiled slightly and said, "In short, General He is also for the good of the military region." ”
"I'm afraid it's not that simple?" Chen Jiongming sneered: "General He shouldn't interact with officers frequently, this army should only have one goal of allegiance, that is, show handsome, it may not be a good phenomenon for him to win over officers." Ren Yuanxing was silent about this, Chen Jiongming knew that Ren Yuanxing was a person who was not interested in politics, so he didn't say anything more.
However, Wang Jiejun, the commander of the Third Division, was a fiery temper that could not hide his words, and he immediately expressed his opposition to He Rufei's tandem officer moves, and when He Rufei went to inspect the Kreuz Fortress, Wang Jiejun just cooperated with a meal, so he put him aside, went down to lead the troops by himself, and ignored him anymore. This made He Rufei angry, he suppressed the fire in his heart, but he had a greater treat for Wang Jiejun.
He Rufei smiled and complained to Ren Yuanxing that Wang Jiejun was too proud, Ren Yuanxing smiled bitterly on the surface and said that his temper is like this, and he can't control it, but he is still very capable of fighting, and he can't do without him, but secretly admires this kid's courage and courage, if you don't bird, you won't bird you.
At this time, news came from the front that the Ninth Cavalry Brigade of Wang Jiejun's Third Division completely annihilated the headquarters of the First Brigade of the Tsar's Guards, but the main force of the First Brigade still ran away, and it was not the Russian troops that met them, but the cavalry units of the Red Army. The fact that the Russian Red Army came to Central Asia so quickly was somewhat unexpected by Ren Yuanxing and Zhu Yongquan.
He Rufei integrated the Western Regions Military Region Command and reorganized its functions to avoid poor communication and overlapping departments, and established a three-person command system consisting of Ren Yuanxing, commander of the Western Regions Military Region, Zhu Yongquan, chief of the General Staff, and He Rufei, chief of the General Military Affairs. He Rufei is indeed a capable person, and after such an integration, the dispatch of the three legions in the Western Regions is well organized. He Rufei Jianyì should abandon Astana, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the 3rd Division is divided into three places, so it is better to concentrate in one place to prevent being besieged. After careful consideration by the Military Region Command, the Military Region Command agreed to this construction and asked the General Staff Headquarters of the Ministry of National Defense for instructions, which also believed that Astana could be abandoned because of its distance from the Western Regions and the difficulty of logistical supply. Subsequently, Ren Yuanxing immediately ordered Wang Jiejun's troops to abandon Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, and stick to the Kreuz fortress, the heart of Kazakhstan.
Wang Jiejun sneered after knowing that this was He Rufei's idea, he didn't belong to any faction in the army, but he could see that the dispute between the two factions could be staged at any time. One of the very important reasons why Wang Jiejun fought fiercely and repeatedly performed miraculous feats was that he did not belong to a faction, so naturally there was no other way to advance except for his military exploits to be promoted. But this time, he decided that He Rufei had made a big mistake and would definitely follow him in the future. After receiving the order to withdraw the troops, Wang Jiejun ordered the army to loot for three days before Cheli Astana, all factory equipment and even skilled workers, glass must be dismantled and taken away, and the railway tracks along the way also need to be taken away, even if the railway is not repaired for the time being, it cannot be left for the use of the Soviet Russians.
Because Xu Shuzheng's 94th Brigade has been stationed in the Pamirs to guard against the British Indian army, and the 39th Division of the Yellow Dragon Army and the 49th Division of the Jiaolong Army have not fully arrived in the Western Regions, the garrison of the Western Regions at this time only has the 3rd Division, the 10th Division, the 16th Cavalry Division, the 29th Division, the 32nd Cavalry Division, the 33rd Division (missing Xu Shuzheng's 1st Brigade), the 38th Division, and the 43rd Division, with a total strength of 150,000 people, and 200,000 Han immigrant troops to assist. However, the civilian army units were only light infantry, and the losses in frontal combat must have been quite heavy, so they could only be used as second-line troops.
In the end, He Rufei proposed that the integrated military region troops should not be used as a defense in the form of a corps, but should be disrupted in the framework of the corps, and the military region should be deployed with the Western Regions Military Region as the sole command unit, so as to liberate the combat effectiveness at the division and regiment level to the greatest extent, so as to cope with the eastward advance of nearly two million people in Tsarist Russia.
Although He Rufei's method of unifying the military region theoretically strengthened the power of the Western Regions Military Region Command, it weakened the power at the corps level from another angle, which made Chen Jiongming, the commander of the Jiaolong Corps, very dissatisfied, and he immediately raised objections. However, since Chen Jiongming led the Guangdong army to surrender to the National Defense Forces, his prestige and status in the army were not high, but Wang Maoru attached great importance to him, and He Rufei proposed a show of hands to vote -- He Rufei, Ren Yuanxing, Zhu Yongquan, Chen Jiongming, and Du Bao made a decision by a show of hands.
Du Baosan's army only had two divisions, one of which was still west of the Tianshan Mountains at this time, waiting for the weather to warm up before crossing the Tianshan Mountains and entering the Western Regions, so in fact, this construction was not affected for him for the time being. Especially Du Baosan belongs to the Lu family, even if he is a person like Fei, he naturally won't object too much, but Chen Jiongming is a troublemaker. (To be continued......)
