Chapter 512: Recovering Outer Mongolia

readx; After the time entered 1915, Germany felt that it could not make a breakthrough and progress on the Western Front, but suffered heavy casualties, and the German army had no choice but to change its strategy last year, preparing to carry out strategic defense on the Western Front, and dispatched the main force to the Eastern Front, preparing to defeat Russia first with Austria-Hungary. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the German army put its strategic focus on the Eastern Front, the pressure on the Russian army exploded instantly, and a large number of troops were continuously drawn from the hinterland of the country and the Far East to the European theater.

Against this background, the long-planned suppression of the rebellion in Outer Mongolia has also been officially launched!

Nanjing General Staff.

"Major General Huang Anyuan's First Cavalry Division has cleared out about 5,000 rebels in the past few months, and has now been stationed in Kulun, and Lieutenant General Wu Junsheng's Second Cavalry Division has also cleared out nearly 10,000 rebels in the east, and is currently three hundred miles east of Kulun, and is rushing to Kulunzhong." Guo Hengsi reported to Chen Jingyun on the affairs of the Outer Mongolian rebellion.

Chen Jingyun nodded after hearing this: "I've worked hard for them in the past few months!" ”

Chen Jingyun's hard work is not a kind word, but a fact. In fact, before and after the Battle of Qingdao last year, the two cavalry divisions of the Nationalist Army had marched to Outer Mongolia one after another, perhaps because the Russian army was not too difficult in the European war situation at that time, so it was still tough on the issue of Outer Mongolia, although it did not directly send troops, but it sent a large number of ordnance to the rebels in Outer Mongolia and trained the rebels to fight against the Nationalist Army. As a result, in addition to the troublesome logistical problems in the process of advancing the two cavalry divisions of the Nationalist Army into Kulen, they were also blocked by the Mongol rebels many times, and the main infantry units of the Nationalist Army in the vast plains of Mongolia were also difficult to maneuver, so they could only rely on those two cavalry divisions to fight alone, and fought with the rebels several times before and after, winning and losing each other. At that time, the main energy of the Nationalist Army was on how to quell the rebellion in the southwest, so the progress in the direction of Outer Mongolia has not been large. By the time the Nationalist Army had won a victory in the southwest and could send part of its troops to Outer Mongolia, Outer Mongolia was already experiencing heavy snowfall, and in the severe cold of winter, not only was it extremely difficult for the infantry divisions to move and replenish, but even the logistics of the two cavalry divisions supporting the front line were inadequate.

Under such circumstances, the Nationalist Army also suspended the Outer Mongolian offensive and prepared to let the two cavalry divisions on the front line rest for a period of time, and wait for the severe cold and heavy snow to pass first.

After another month of delay, General Li Jimin, commander of the First Army directly under the Mongolian Theater, sent an additional infantry division directly into Outer Mongolia, in addition to ensuring the supply line of the First Cavalry Division on the front line, he also went straight to Kulen with a crushing posture, and Lieutenant General Xu Jingqing of the Northeast Theater also transferred Ma Longtan's 57th Division from the northeast into the eastern part of Outer Mongolia. That is, the original 25th Mixed Brigade, in the 1915 Army Reorganization Plan, all mixed brigades were renamed infantry divisions, and the specific division number was from 33 platoons, for example, the 25th Mixed Brigade +32 and its number became 'The 57th Infantry Division of the Chinese Army'.

The air force also stepped up aerial reconnaissance in the direction of Outer Mongolia, providing a large amount of information for the two cavalry divisions fighting on the front line, and under such circumstances, Huang Anyuan's 1st Cavalry Division and Wu Junsheng's 2nd Cavalry Division reversed the previous predicament and successively eliminated tens of thousands of rebels.

In fact, there are not many rebels in Outer Mongolia, even if the Russians are fully supported, but there are only about 10,000 people, and after the main force of the rebels is eliminated, unless the Russian army directly sends troops, no one can stop China from recovering Outer Mongolia.

On March 19, Huang Anyuan defeated the last resistance of the rebels outside Kulen and captured a group of high-ranking military and political leaders of the rebels.

"Okay, this time it's finally not jumping around!" Chen Jingyun looked at the jet sent by Huang Anyuan, and he was obviously in a good mood with a smile on his face!

In fact, he is indeed in a good mood, and now that the domestic situation has stabilized, the army's field units and local garrisons are carrying out vigorous activities in the country to crack down on private armed forces and eliminate bandits, and in the past two or three months, more than 500,000 bandits or private armed forces have been eliminated, most of which are the results of the war in the southwest and northwest regions, and the results achieved by the army have shifted its strategic focus to maintaining internal order. The army assures that there will be no bandits or private forces in the country again.

The domestic security situation was stable, industry and commerce developed rapidly, and the economic development in 1915 far exceeded the expectations of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce last year, and the total import and export volume in the first quarter had reached 500 million yuan, of which the export volume was as high as 270 million yuan.

Now the rebellion in Outer Mongolia has been successfully suppressed, and the Military Intelligence Department has also submitted a report to Chen Jingyun, claiming that the Russian army is still thinking about moving to Europe at present, and the Russian army in the northeast and Outer Mongolia has no sign of sending troops to China in a short period of time, which shows that although China's action to suppress the Mongolian rebellion has aroused strong opposition from Russia, the Russians do not want to fight again with China in the Far East when the war in Europe is tense.

What does the smooth recovery of Outer Mongolia represent? This means that Chen Jingyun has successfully accepted the Chinese territory left over from the former Qing Dynasty, and has not lost millions of square kilometers of land in China for no reason because of the Xinhai Revolution.

To tell the truth, Chen Jingyun is very satisfied with the current situation in China, and at the same time feels a little proud and even proud of his achievements.

A few years later, he Chen Jingyun is the only one who succeeds, and the other Yuan Shikai, Tang Jiyao, Sun Wen, Song Jiaoren, Huang Xing, Lu Rongting, Yan Xishan and others are either dead or defeated and exiled abroad, and Cai Ye was placed under house arrest by Yuan Shikai for two years and once regained his personal freedom after the National Army marched into Yanjing, but then the southwest rebellion Chen Jingyun in order to prevent Cai Yi, a person with a strong appeal in the southwest region, returned to Yunnan, So he was placed under house arrest in Yanjing again, and it was not until Tang Jiyao was shot that he regained his personal freedom.

At this time, he politely refused the position of adviser to the staff department given by Chen Jingyun, this lieutenant general of the army does not know whether he has lost his ambition or is dissatisfied with what Chen Jingyun has done, or he is simply no longer involved in military and political affairs.

Compared with these people, Chen Jingyun felt that he should be successful in his career, and his career was smooth sailing, plus Luo Li just gave birth to a daughter to him last month, although Luo Li secretly cried for a few times because he gave birth to a daughter, not a daughter like Lin Yun and Dong Bai, but he was also relieved to see that Chen Jingyun seemed to love this daughter more among the three children.

In fact, Chen Jingyun really likes this daughter named Chen Weier, and likes to hold this eldest daughter whenever he has time, and even sometimes carries him to work in the president's office, which is a little different from Chen Jingyun's treatment of his two sons.

Everything seems to be going well in his career and family, so Chen Jingyun has no reason to be in a bad mood!

Seeing that Chen Jingyun seemed to be in deep thought with a smile on his face, Guo Hengsi stayed for a while and said, "Chairman, how to reply to General Huang?" ”

Chen Jingyun put away his smile at this time, and then said: "I don't want to see that group of rebels, so there is no need to bring Nanjing, let Huang Anyuan be shot for treason after a direct trial." ”

After saying this, Chen Jingyun said again: "You go and talk to Shen Gang, it's time to give Huang Anyuan a promotion, give him the rank of lieutenant general, the silver double sword medal, he is also the old man of the Fuzhou uprising, if he hadn't grabbed the ammunition and guarded it well, there would be no situation today!" ”

Huang Anyuan led the horse team to hold the ammunition after repelling the Qing army, and Chen Jingyun's second battalion captured the armory after getting this batch of ammunition, thus laying the foundation of the Fuzhou Uprising. In the subsequent development, Huang Anyuan was limited by the identity of a member of the League, and later joined Lin Wenying's Alliance Party, so he has always been excluded from the core by Chen Jingyun, and later Huang Anyuan also woke up, quit the League and joined the National Socialist Party before he was reused, but the National Army in the south did not have much cavalry at that time, so Huang Anyuan's rank as the boss of the cavalry has been difficult to be promoted. Later, in the Northern Expedition, he led the First Cavalry Regiment to fight with the rank of major general, and later after the First Cavalry Regiment was expanded into the First Cavalry Division, his status as a major general and division commander was confirmed.

Now he fought hard for months in the Mongol direction, destroying thousands of rebels and capturing Kulen to suppress the rebellion, which was more than enough for him to be promoted to a lieutenant general.

"The recovery of Outer Mongolia is a great thing and a great joy that inspires the hearts of the people, so the military should cooperate well with the propaganda work of the Propaganda Department!" The propaganda department in Chen Jingyun's mouth refers to the propaganda department of the National Socialist Party, and only the government affairs yuan has a press office in the political axe department, but their main work is basically used to hold press conferences and the like, and they are not responsible for news supervision and propaganda work, in fact, the news censorship and propaganda work that the Propaganda Department of the National Socialist Party is responsible for has not been recognized by any constitution, and from a legal point of view, China's newspaper industry is free, and no relevant agency can seize these newspapers on the grounds of news surveillance. But in reality, the propaganda department of the National Socialist Party is responsible for news surveillance, and the charges against these newspapers are not news surveillance, but mostly other crimes, such as treason. For the crime of inciting riots, the law enforcement agencies are not the Ministry of Police and the Ministry of Supervision, but the Investigation Bureau.

And this model has received great opposition within the political axe, they are not against the regulation of the press, they are against the intervention of the Investigation Bureau! In the Nanjing Republican Axe, whether it is the National Socialist Party, the Allies, or the National Progressive Association, they are enemies of each other, but they also have a unified enemy, that is, the Military Investigation Bureau led by Chen Cai!

With the rapid economic development of the whole country and the stable security situation, a silent political wrestling is quietly being staged between the political axe and the civilian government and the investigation bureau!
