Chapter 961: The 16th Cavalry Division is in turmoil

After He Rufei left, Wang Maoru watched and studied the plan with Jiang Fangzhen, and the plan was very detailed and thoughtful, and he couldn't help but appreciate it.23zw.Jiang Fangzhen couldn't help but appreciate: "This plan is really good, He Xiangyun is very capable, but he is up to the task, if he works in a down-to-earth manner, his ability is a leader." ”

Wang Maoru couldn't help but nod in approval, and said with a smile: "Yes, I also think that he is very capable, but there are some small shortcomings that are not tolerable, and it is good to sharpen and sharpen." ”

"It's just sharp, it's just sharp, but it's not intolerable, Xiu Sheng is serious." Jiang Fangzhen talked about other topics, he was unwilling to get involved in some struggles within the Wehrmacht, so he picked up the plan for the all-out war exercise between China and the Soviet Union, and said: "The General Staff Department said that in the national war exercise between China and the Soviet Union in our Ministry of Defense, we should not ignore the embarrassment of Japan, and their attitude has determined a certain situation. If the Japanese turn around and bite us, we will collapse completely. And I think it's very likely that the Japanese will change their attitude, because they have always been capricious. ”

"yes, what's going on with this hateful adversary?" Wang Maoru looked at Japan and said, "What is the progress of the East Siberian Campaign now?" ”

Jiang Fangzhen said: "There are no additional troops in Japan itself, and they are very hesitant to continue to invest in the frozen soil in the north, where there are no resources and no population, and there is nothing but wood. However, the Japanese military did not sit idly by, they sent a large number of North Korean servant troops from South Korea into the battlefield, and the combat effectiveness of the North Korean servant army was really ...... Hehe, if it weren't for their help, the war wouldn't have been stalemate, hahaha. ”

"His grandmother's North Koreans can really make trouble." Wang Maoru also laughed.

"Report." Li Wenbin, director of the Department of Secret Communications, pushed open the door and walked in, saying: "The battlefield report on the 18th is that the 13th Infantry Brigade of the Third Division is still out of contact due to the impact of a small-scale sandstorm. The 112th Brigade of the Yellow Dragon Regiment counterattacked the Soviet Army's Blyukhel Division, but was stubbornly resisted by the Soviet Army and retreated. The 16th Cavalry Division attacked the towns of Leozek and Juzares as planned, and achieved a great victory in the town of Juzarez, but was stubbornly resisted by three Soviet infantry divisions in the town of Leozek, and the 16th Cavalry Division retreated back to the town of Juzarez to station, preparing to rest for a day and then bypass the enemy's position for interspersed encirclement. An accident occurred at Longcheng Airport on the 18th, and the two bombers burst their engines shortly after takeoff because of the long-term use of the equipment. In the northern battlefield of Taixi Province in the Western Regions, Yuan Zuming's division of the 43rd Division of the Jiaolong Army came into contact with the left flank of the Soviet Army's Central Asian cluster, and the two sides began to confront each other but did not fight. Suspicious figures have appeared near the Karamay oil field in Xinjiang, and the Second Armed Police Brigade of Xinjiang is making every effort to encircle and suppress them. The Soviet army Kadistov led the Central Siberian cluster to recapture Kurgan, and the forward troops had already arrived in Omsk and suddenly began to move south. The Eastern Siberian cluster of Soviet troops is rapidly marching along the Trans-Siberian Railway roadbed towards Yakutsk, and it is estimated that it will be able to reach the Yakutsk battlefield in a month. The Japanese and Korean servant forces mutinied, killing and wounding more than 30 people, the specific reason is unknown. British India sent some herdsmen to emigrate to Kashmir, but they were driven away by our soldiers and civilians in the Western Regions. ”

"Very well, continue to closely monitor the dynamics of all parties." Wang Maoru said, he had long known that he would come to this battle with Russia head-on, if it was not a national war, then it must be a battle in the Western Regions, so he has always pressed his net worth on the Western Regions.

In the East, he could only rely on the intimidation of the Japanese to show off his might, and it was only with Sato, that is, Li Muhan, a spy who relied on the evidence of command and male influence on Japan, that forced the Japanese to look elsewhere. History is written by people, and it is also determined by people, because history is not about nature, but about the lives of all people in this land, and the decisions that influence people.

The powerful habit of history is powerful, but it cannot ignore the role of the butterfly effect, a small decision of one person is enough to make the future history go to a different path, just like now, Wang Maoru gave tens of millions of material consumption to the Western Regions Military Region, just waiting for this battle. However, what Wang Maoru didn't expect was that history was still influenced by people.

If, on the night of May 17, Blyukhr could have taken advantage of the sandstorm to launch a general assault on the Kyzyl fortress despite casualties, and if they had not carried out an internal rebellion of the Sakhalin corps, the Chinese Battle of the Heart of Asia would have been declared a failure.

And history has no ifs, just like if the 16th Cavalry Division had not been led by the Tatars Makanranti, the 16th Cavalry Division would have gone around to the Russian army on May 19 to deliver the most severe blow to them from behind, leading the Soviet Russia's plan to conquer the East to fail -- there is an accident in history, and Makanranti was an accident of Wang Maoru and the Wehrmacht, and it was also a Wehrmacht scandal that the Western Regions Military Region was most reluctant to mention after the war, and it even affected the future development of the Wehrmacht.

Early in the morning of May 20, the soldiers of the 16th Cavalry Division, who had just been defeated because of their rash recklessness, got up early in the morning to pack up their harnesses and prepare for the next day to carry out the interspersed attack mission, when the scouts suddenly caught a few Turks who had escaped from "China". And these scouts were precisely the Turkic cavalry, and the "escaped" Turks told their compatriots that the Chinese were secretly massacring the Turkic Tatars, and then killing all the Central Asian races.

The Turkic cavalry was furious and immediately reported to their superiors, and Makanranti was also furious when he heard the report of his subordinates, saying that the Chinese had betrayed them, and the Turkic cavalry shouted for revenge on the Han Chinese. But after a while, Makanranti came to his senses, and regardless of the truth of the story, how did these Turkic refugees come about? When he found this person again, he suddenly learned that the Turks had been killed on the spot because they wanted to avenge their tribesmen and attacked the Han soldiers in the barracks.

This move further contributed to ethnic tensions within the 16th Cavalry Division, with some people believing that the yellow race was deliberately killing, blocking information, and taking up arms under the clamor of some jījin people. The Han soldiers felt inexplicable that in Wang Maoru's Wehrmacht, any attack on Wehrmacht soldiers was seen as a provocation and that the Chinese Wehrmacht soldiers had to fight back, or else they would be punished for weakness. Wang Maoru's men were like wolves, and when they encountered a few Turks who wanted to attack them, they were naturally unceremoniously relenting.

But the cavalry, which consisted of Turks, did not see it that way, believing that the Han soldiers were deliberately killing people.

The 16th Cavalry Division is a two-brigade cavalry division, its predecessor was the Saibei Independent Cavalry Division, only 4,000 people, and later in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the Western Regions Army, Wang Maoru expanded it into a two-brigade cavalry division. He also appointed Qi Bin as chief of staff to control the operational planning of the army, and transferred Zhao Ajiu, who was outstanding in Russian operations, to serve as the commander of another cavalry brigade, the 142nd Cavalry Brigade. Therefore, the 16th Cavalry Division is very different in that its two cavalry brigades are numbered 45th Cavalry Brigade and 142nd Cavalry Brigade, so the difference between the numbers of the two troops is a bit far.

The 142nd Cavalry Brigade is a cavalry unit with 6,000 soldiers, of which 3,000 are Han people in the northwest, 2,000 are Hui people in the northwest, and the other 1,000 are Méng ancients, Vultures, Tajiks, Kalmyks, Tibetans and Qiangs. The 45th Cavalry Brigade has more than 3,000 Turkic people, more than 1,000 Kalmyks, more than 1,000 Han Chinese and soldiers of other nationalities, so the ethnic composition of the 16th Cavalry Division is also one of the most complex troops.

Officially, due to the ethnic complexity of the 16th Cavalry Brigade, the construction of the cavalry division has been neglected by the corps commander Ren Yuanxing, and in addition to rifle submachine guns and light machine gun grenades, the division is only equipped with dozens of mortars and cavalry guns. This is also the reason why the attitude of the director Makanranti when he heard about the execution of whites and Central Asians in the rear, and the distrust of the Han people has always caused the division to accumulate many internal contradictions for a long time. At this moment, because of a counter-plot arranged by the Russians, it finally broke out here.

Originally, the 16th Cavalry Division, as a surprise force, began to disturb the supply lines of the Soviet Russian rear on May 19 and carry out interspersed attacks on the Soviet headquarters, but early in the morning, this unit was told to suspend the operation after some preparations.

Zhao Ajiu found the division commander Makanranti and asked the army to pull out, Makanranti said: "Now our troops are scouting, and due to the sudden loss of Xìng, the enemy is likely to have set up an ambush. Although Zhao Ajiu felt that what Makanranti said had some truth, he was suspicious in his heart, because their troops were used as interspersed troops, not some surprise attack troops, and the cavalry force of 14,000 people had long lost the role of surprise attacks. In this way, the day of May 19 was spent in the town of Jusares, in the midst of Macanranti's delays.

However, a greater contradiction was hidden among the Turkic and Han soldiers, and Chief of Staff Qi Bin did not find this contradiction, or he was optimistic that in times of war, the Wehrmacht soldiers would unanimously shoot at the mouth of the enemy. This staff officer who graduated from the Yakeshi Army Noncommissioned Officer Academy mistakenly thought that the Turks would identify with their own Chinese identity before identifying with their national identity, just like Manchu officers and Hui officers, but the Turks are thinking of the nation first and then the state, and for a long time they have lived as tribes, and the concept of the state has not been formed at all, and in their hearts the interests of their own nation are more important than the interests of the state. rs!。
