During the entire Battle of the Heart of Central Asia, dozens of large-scale battles took place in Tessi Province, Anxi Province, Xīnjiāng Province, Kazakh Khanate, Kashmir and other places, including the defense of Kizil, the ambush of the Ares Salt Swamp, the ambush of the Chu River, the ambush of the Snow Wolf Valley, the Barkhash Blockade, the Leozek Attack, the Semipalatinsk Blockade, the Tashkent Uprising, and the Kyzyl Armageddon, with a total of 70,561 casualties, 36,251 wounded, and 33,658 killed. 652 people were captured after being seriously wounded, including:

The 19th Infantry Regiment supported by the 3rd Division (Wang Jiejun's Division) had only 331 men left after the war, and the 3rd Division, including the 13th Infantry Brigade, had a total of more than 6,000 killed.

The 10th Division (Qiao's Third Stick Division) suffered less than a thousand casualties.

The 16th Cavalry Division (Makanranti) lost 5,000 men.

The 39th Division (Cheng Qian's Division) lost more than 3,000 people.

The 91st Cavalry Brigade of the 32nd Division (Song Zheyuan's Division) quelled the Tashkent rebellion, suffering more than 1,500 casualties.

The 94th Brigade of the 33rd Division (Xu Shuzheng's Division) suffered less than 1,000 casualties.

The six armed Jǐng Cha troops in the Western Regions suffered 2,000 casualties.

The worst losses on the part of the squadron were the Yellow Dragon Corps of the 16th Army, which set out from Almaty to the Kyzyl fortress with a full strength of 38,000 men, and was equipped with two teaching regiments of 4,000 men, for a total of 42,000 men. The Yellow Dragon Regiment (29th Division and 39th Division) of the 16th Army of the garrison of the Kyzyl Fortress suffered 19,000 casualties, all four infantry regiments were killed, and the 4,000 men of the two reserve supplementary regiments were basically all killed, and only 19,000 wounded remained in the headquarters after the battle.

The Yellow Dragon Army was wounded and held on to the Kizil fortress. The Red Army of the Soviet Russian Empire suffered heavy losses, forcing Soviet Russia to change its attitude towards China again. It is impossible to treat the current Republic of China lightly as it did towards the Manchu Empire, and they have used their lives to bring China more than ten years of peaceful development.

Although compared to the number of Soviet casualties, it was only less than a third of the other side. But this is a casualty on the basis of the squadron's superiority in air, firepower, and defensive location. Of course, due to the lack of preparation in the later stage, the artillery fire of the Chinese defenders did not have an advantage. Moreover, this battle almost wiped out a quarter of the national defense ammunition reserves of the Chinese National Defense Forces, which shows the tragedy of this battle. Whether it was the morale of the Soviet army, or courage, or even the experience of officer command. The combat experience of the soldiers is stronger than that of the Chinese side.

Among them, the Sino-British battle on the Sino-Indian border on the battlefield of southern Kashmir was the most unexpected, and under the command of the British ** officer, 4,000 Indian soldiers entered Kashmir again. The herdsmen had already learned the news and reported it to the Chinese side. Xu Shuzheng's headquarters, which was stationed in the Pamir Plateau, immediately dispatched to meet the attack. And once again crushed the Indian army, this battle completely destroyed the confidence of the Indians, and no matter how the officers drove them, the Indian soldiers no longer dared to set foot in Kashmir.

Despite the repeated ambitions of the British. But fortunately, Xu Shuzheng, a Beiyang talent, is trying to protect Kashmir.

And on the battlefield in the northern province of Tessie. Cheng Qian's department and Yuan Zuming's department both successfully completed their tasks and inflicted heavy losses on the Soviet army. Cheng Qian's two regiment commanders, 27-year-old He Yunfei and 25-year-old Peng Shishi, shined in this battle and played the courage and tenacity of the Hunan people.

Finally, the victory, in fact, Wang Maoru, who had a calm expression, wanted to shout loudly in his heart, this is a victory that really belongs to the Chinese, this is the most direct wrist wrestling between China and the Soviet Russian Empire, this is a tragic victory. The Chinese people gave the Soviet Russian Empire a resounding slap in the face with sacrifice, and it also made them soberly understand the Tao. The strength of just one Western Regions Military Region of China was enough to bring the Eastern Army of the Soviet Russian Empire to the ground.

At this time, the Kizil fortress was bleeding a river. Flies and insects were everywhere, and the stench of dead people could be smelled from ten miles away.

In Kyzyl, the squadron captured 63,000 Soviet prisoners of war, but more than half of these prisoners of war were wounded, but they were divided into seriously wounded and lightly wounded, and the lightly wounded were nothing, and the seriously wounded still needed Chinese to ambulate them. When the Soviet troops fled, they did not have time to take the wounded, so they stayed, causing certain difficulties for the Chinese. What to do with these wounded Soviet prisoners?

Not only the Soviet army had wounded, but the squadron also had tens of thousands of wounded who needed medical treatment at this time, among the 19,000 survivors of the 16th Army Corps, nearly 2,000 were seriously wounded, and the rest of the soldiers were almost all wounded, and even the regiment commander Du Baosan was almost buried and crushed to death by the collapsed house, let alone others. Looking at the 16th Legion, there is not a single soldier without scars on his body, and even the army's glasses clerk has become a fierce glasses officer after this battle.

Ren Yuanxing sent a secret telegram to Wang Maoru asking for instructions on how to deal with the enemy's wounded soldiers and prisoners, our medicine and food are still insufficient, and if we use them for the prisoners, it will delay the treatment of our own soldiers. But if they are not treated, these Soviet prisoners will think that we have mistreated them.

Wang Maoru thought for a while and said: "Inform the Soviet Russian side that they can rush to Kyzyl to receive the wounded, and the squadron will release some of the wounded, hoping that the Soviet Russian army will send troops without weapons to take away the wounded." You can also tell the Soviets about the wounded, and they can leave for Ascana on their own, where the Russian Empire has regrouped the new Eastern Army. We don't need prisoners, but we don't mistreat them either, and if the negotiations are completed, we Chinese will mercifully release all prisoners of war. ”

Ren Yuanxing took the telegram and looked at Zhu Yongquan as if he could, couldn't help but stretch out his thumb, and said secretly: "High, really high, these wounded prisoners of war want to cross the Karakum Desert, cross the Uletau Mountain, and return to Ascana - I don't know how many people can be left." ”

We have released all the prisoners of war, but you will not necessarily make it back alive.

In Astana, the depressed Blyukhel knew that this defeat had ruined his military career, and he really shouldn't have recklessly come to this hard-fought war with the squadron. The Chinese occupied the time, place and people, laid a big pocket for the Soviet army, and defeated themselves with only two legions, making the entire Soviet Russian empire extremely jealous of China.

By the time the remnants of the Soviet army had not yet reached Assanya, the order of exemption from the Moscow Supreme Military Council had been issued, Blyukherr was relieved of his military and political duties, and due to the death of the second commissar Posteshev, the first commissar Melnikov was arrested by the Cheka and relieved of his duties, so that General Saragaev, who was leading five infantry divisions and one cavalry division in Astana, became the new commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army.

In a prison in Astana, Saragaev came to visit his old boss, who, with a sigh, said to Blyukher: "General, I think that after returning to Moscow, you will be the head of this defeat, and I don't know when I will be able to see you again." ”

"Yes, because I lost to the yellow race." Blyukhel said with a wry smile.

"In fact, I think we lost this battle too strangely," Saragaev said seriously, "After returning to Astana, I thought about it carefully, and in the nearly twenty days of the entire campaign, whether it was my cluster, or the Seresev cluster, or even every action of yours, the Chinese expected it early, don't you think it's strange?" It's as if we're acting under the eyes of the Chinese. ”

"Their reconnaissance planes play a big role." "That's why I'm going to build a big deal about the Air Force's reconnaissance aircraft." ”

"Nope! No! No! "I'm not talking about planes, I'm talking about our plan of action, our feint in the middle has been defeated, how do they know that we are feints?" And our main assault on the Kizil fortress met with the impregnable defense of the Chinese, and as far as I know, the Chinese artillery fire did not stop every day. Don't you think it's weird? Why did the Chinese stock up so many shells there? They must have learned of our battle plan and deliberately attracted our main forces at the Kizil fortress before sending troops to surround us. ”

Sitting on the stone chair, Blyukhel clasped his hands, said excitedly: "What do you mean...... There are internal ghosts, someone betrayed the great Soviet power? ”

"It must be like this." Saragaev said viciously, "Our ranks are mixed with impure people, and I think we should report to the party zhōngyāng, we must conduct a comprehensive search of the army, carry out a rebellion, we must suppress the rebellion." ”

After a while, Blyukhel said: "Comrade Saragaev, I hope that you will be able to protect the other officers of this battle, this defeat is my responsibility, but I do not want the other officers to be affected and die." ”

Saragaev nodded and said, "General, don't worry, I will protect them." ”

Blyukhel smiled bitterly and gratifyingly, this responsibility needs to be borne by himself. But Blyukhel thought about the problem too simply, and someone needed to be responsible for the defeat of the Heart of Central Asia, but General Blyukhel's shoulders were too light to shoulder this responsibility. The Russian Empire also needed to have a horn with a sufficiently hard shoulder to bear, and that man was Trotsky.

Two days later (June 4rì), Stalin, together with Bukharin and Kamenev, launched a political attack on Trotsky at a meeting of the Supreme Military Council in Moscow, and the reason for the attack was that Trotsky's Hearts of Asia operation resulted in the loss of 190,000 Russian troops.

Despite all the quibbles of the military commander-in-chief of the Supreme Military Council, Trotsky, had to take responsibility for the defeat, and the godfather of the Red Army, who single-handedly founded the Russian Red Army, was forced to resign from the post of supreme military commander. Blyukhel was held accountable and dismissed from the military, and most of the officers who participated in the combat were demoted to the rank of company and battalion officer, but Saragaev was promoted to the rank of officer. And Saragaev also summed up his experience based on the defeat on the main battlefield, believing that it was not appropriate to have a decisive battle with the Chinese now, and reported it to Stalin. Stalin also believed that at a time when the agriculture, industry, and state of Soviet Russia were not fully restored, this hatred could be postponed and revenge could be declared against the Chinese after the country was restored.
