Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the first half of the 50s, bandits in the Xinjiāng area were rampant, chaos was rampant, rampant to the point that the number of bandits involved in the riots reached more than 100,000 at the craziest time, and the bandit leaders Usman and Yao Lebos spread all kinds of strange rumors in the vast Xinjiāng area, and the People's Liberation Army owed a large amount of foreign debts to the Soviet Union when it was fighting the Kuomintang, and the purpose of coming to Xinjiāng was to catch 100,000 young people from ethnic minorities to work hard in the Soviet Union to pay off the debts. He also said that most of the communist troops were singles, and they had to catch many, many sheep jars (women) to make huttongs (wives) for their soldiers.
Under the coercion and lure of the Usman bandits, tens of thousands of peasants and herdsmen were coerced into taking part in the rebellion; from March to May alone, the large and small bandits under the Usman gang robbed more than 450 times in the Dihua area, killing countless cadres and people, with the result that thousands of acres of farmland could not be sown on time, the social order in more than a dozen counties and cities was in chaos, and the people were struggling to make a living.
In Fukang County, where the bandits were most severely affected, the bandits robbed all the grain and ammunition in the warehouse, disemboweled the staff members who had not had time to evacuate, and dragged the captured women naked and dragged them through the streets on horses until they were dragged to death.
On this day, after several days and nights of running, Iwu's Abaibala and several of his men finally found the bandits' base camp and met the bandit leader Usman as he had hoped.
Usman, the famous bandit in his fifties, is not tall, his body is slightly fatter than ordinary people, he has a face of horizontal flesh, his triangular eyes open and close to reveal a cold light, and he wears a pair of long riding boots that are almost up to the knees, the thorn needle on the heel of the boots is shining, and the horse whip in his hand is crackling, and after listening to the report, he scolded Ai Bai's belly:
"You idiot, stupid, 100 centaurs can't even pack up two or three hundred communist soldiers, and you still have the face to come to me for reinforcements?? What use is it for you. Lao Tzu collapsed you. ”
As he spoke, Usman pulled out the gun in his waist and aimed it at Aybai's head, staring at the yellowed eyes and about to pull the trigger, Ayman's frightened mess up with chaff, he knew that Usman was moody and didn't play his cards according to common sense. In a fit of rage. Maybe it was just a shot, and he was killed.
"The commander spares his life, the commander spares his life, I am wronged."
In the midst of Aibai's hoarse cries, a woman in her twenties standing next to her pressed Usman's shoulder. He snatched the gun from his hand and re-equipped it for Usman.
Half-high-waisted carved riding boots, a Kuomintang female officer uniform, standing beside Usman looks heroic, who is this woman?
Ai Bai's belly is pulled. He knew Usman, but he had no impression of this young woman, who could snatch his rifle from this big bandit when he was angry!! Certainly not the average person.
I only heard this woman say in a calm voice: "Father's anger is calm, the fighting effectiveness of the communist army is tenacious, the men and horses of the county magistrate of Aibaigula are temporarily combined, and they have not been on a big scene, it is normal to be defeated by a little setback, it is unlucky to kill the generals in battle, and my father might as well let him wear the crime and make meritorious contributions??" ”
Hearing this, Abay Belly was understood. The young woman who snatched the gun from Usman's hand and saved his life was not someone else, but Usman's daughter, the famous Iriel.
Iriel, who was in her twenties, was very favored by her father and was a well-known Kazakh sharpshooter, and from a few years old she began to dance with his father with guns and sticks. Familiar with the use of all kinds of firearms, Chéngrén was not only bold but also extremely accurate in marksmanship, as he continued to fight with his father Usman. Therefore, he was very prestigious among the bandits, and he was also a very powerful arm of his father Usman.
On one occasion, there was a large-scale armed fighting between the Kazakh tribes of Usman and the Babula tribe of Mongolia. In order to cover the old and weak women and children of the tribe, Iriel took eight girls to lure the opponent to the hinterland of the desert, and fought with the enemy for three days and three nights, killing and wounding countless armed cavalry bandits in the Yurt Bula tribe.
"Just such an idiot, how can you let him make meritorious deeds? 100 people can't defeat 2 or 300 communist troops, what use do you want him. Usman's anger was finally calmed down.
Iliel smiled and said: "Father, Yiwu is not big, but the location is very important, as long as we can take Yiwu, we can use this land as a basis, and then threaten Hami, and Hami is the main communication route between Xinjiāng and the mainland, and it is also the gateway of Xinjiāng, if you can cut off the transportation route between Hami and the mainland, you can trap Xinjiāng's communist army to death, so, I ask to bring the people of the headquarters to fight and cooperate with the county magistrate of Aibaigula to recapture Yiwu, father, what do you think." ”
This woman is not simple, thoughtful and clear-minded.
Iliel's request made Usman's eyes light up, if he can really take down Yiwu and then threaten Hami is indeed a good deck of cards, Hami is the gateway to the interior of Xinjiāng, the geographical location is very important, once Hami is threatened, the whole territory will be shaken, which is a lot of benefits for the bandits who are trying to expand their momentum, however, although there are benefits, there are still many problems here, Usman said worriedly:
"Iriel, although we have a lot of people, but the communist army has more people, our main manpower must be prepared to deal with the large army of the communist army, your men and horses are the most elite combat power in the headquarters, what should I do if you take all the people away?"
Usman has been a bandit all his life and has a thirst for killing, but he admires his daughter very much, and handed over one of the most effective bandit teams under his command to Iriel, who was worried that Iliel would take away the most effective bandit team would reduce the strength of the main force of the bandits.
Iriel was aware of Usman's concerns and further explained:
"Father, don't worry, I only take a hundred guards, and the rest of the people will not move, as long as you give the order, I will definitely take Yiwu County, destroy the communist army defending the city, and raise your prestige in the entire prairie."
Usman circled around the house like an old wolf, this guy has been a bandit all his life, and his mind is naturally extraordinary, and Iriel's explanation did not completely reassure him:
"Iriel, you can't underestimate the enemy, you just said, although the number of Yiwu's communist army is small, but the combat effectiveness is very tenacious, Ai Baigula, this stupid man and horse has suffered heavy losses and was frightened, I'm afraid I can't count on it, how can you take only a hundred people to recapture Yiwu County."
Ai Bai Belly was still standing next to him and waiting for it to fall, but Usman said without scruples in front of Iriel that this guy was a stupid and stupid person, and Ai Bai Belly was unwilling but did not dare to refute it at all, but nodded like a chicken and said yes, a stupid person is a stupid person, anyway, the little life is picked up.
Iliel confidently replied to Usman's question: "Of course, the communist army that wiped out Yiwu can't completely count on the more than 100 people I brought with me, my father, can you remember that there is still a force in the Qitai area?" ”
Usman: "What don't you remember, is it the 7th Cavalry Division of the Communist Army?" ”
When he talked about the Seventh Cavalry Division, Usman's eyes widened violently, this old bandit leader was not stupid, and he felt or realized something from his daughter's words:
"What is Iryl's idea??"
"Father, don't look at the Seventh Cavalry Division, which is a human name, and the food is also food, but most of the people in it are our Kazakh warriors, and it is also helpless to return to the Communist Army, I want to go to Qitai once, go to meet the Seventh Cavalry Division, persuade our Kazakh warriors to break away from the Communist Army, and work together with us to conspire for great things, what do you think."
"If you don't go into the tiger's den, you will get the tiger" This truth Usman understands very well, although he is worried about his daughter's safety, but he can't resist the temptation after success, Iriel paints a very good prospect for his father, and after rolling his yellow eyes for a while, he finally agrees with the eldest daughter's construction.
Qitai, is a mixed county with more than 20 nationalities, Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty built a county in 38 years, when the county was built, there was no water in a radius of 40 miles, so it was called Qitai, it was an important business on the ancient Silk Road, the Qing Dynasty counted that there were more than 690 businesses in the ancient city at that time, more than 40,000 peaks of camel caravans, from the perspective of modern people, it was also a small business Fu, in history it had been with Ili, Urumqi, Hami and the same name, and called the four major business associations of xinjiāng.
Qitai is a few days' journey from Yiwu County, and in the vast Daxinjiāng, the distance of these days is not so far, and there is a unit with the number of the Seventh Cavalry Division stationed here, which is the cavalry of Qingyishui.
On this night, a dark cloud covered the half-curved bright moon, the sky was completely dark, the Seventh Cavalry Division was stationed, a girl wearing a minority costume used the night as a cover to quietly approach the barracks, and then sneaked in under the response of someone with a heart, and disappeared into the vast night after a while, who is this girl? She is none other than the daughter of the bandit leader Usman, the bold Iriel.
Iriel, a bold and careful woman, brought her father's orders to persuade the 7th Cavalry Division to participate in the riot.
The 7th Cavalry Division stationed in Qitai was the 5th Cavalry Army of Ma Bufang in Qinghai, which was defeated by the PLA in the Battle of Lanzhou, most of its main force was annihilated, and the remnants fled to Xinjiāng.
The strength of the 7th Cavalry Division was more than 5,000 men, and a considerable number of them were Kazakh officers, who admired Usman and praised him as the Kazakh Batu (hero).
