Volume 4 The Battle of Unification Chapter 545 The Chinese Army Returns Eastward
The secret arrival of the Chinese intervention army Yongxingbao made Frunze very interested, and of course he was also very cautious, because the Chinese intervention army still had 200,000 people (the intelligence of Soviet Russia was wrong, and now the first group army of the Chinese intervention army has only reached 150,000 after replenishment) is inserted into the rear of Soviet Russia at this time, and it has the ability to change the situation of the war. However, the secret arrival of the Chinese intervention forces shows that they have no intention of interfering with the reinforcements of Tsarist Russia.
So Soviet Russia sent Vladimirov to be in charge of the reception, and brought Yongxingbao to Frunze, Yongxingbao proposed a proposal, let go of an opening, and let the Japanese intervention army evacuate and return to China with the cooperation of the Chinese intervention army. The Japanese intervention forces wanted to make peace privately, but since they were now fighting Soviet Russia, direct peace was a sign of surrender. Yong Xingbao was unscrupulous, expressed disdain for the Japanese, and expressed a meaning, if Soviet Russia eliminated the Japanese, it would not matter, the Chinese intervention army just came over to go through the motions.
This attracted the attention of the Russians, who investigated the information and learned that the resentment between China and Japan turned out to be a family feud between the two armies. It turned out to be allies built on feuds, and the Russians had a new definition of this pair of allies. Of course, they needed the Japanese to withdraw their troops, and without the protection of the Japanese intervention heavy artillery, it would have been much easier for the Tsarist Russian army to eliminate 110,000 Tsarist Russian troops and 30,000 Czech corps mercenaries.
The timely elimination of the Volga Army was not only related to the situation of the war, but also to the political future of Frunze and Stalin, who, with Stalin's support, disregarded the opposition of Trotsky and some important members of the Soviet Union and planned to mobilize the forces of the two armies to destroy the Volga Army. Frunze's bold plan was supported by Stalin, so even at this time he mobilized his troops to return to Moscow to support the capital. It is inevitable that a reputation for failure will be abandoned in the future. This war is not only related to survival, but also related to the future of politics, and Frunze has to pay attention to it.
Yong Xingbao's construction made Frunze and others ponder, and he said that he wanted to study it, but in fact, he was studying how to turn this matter into a more beneficial direction for himself. Frunze did not dare to make it on his own here, and knowing that time was pressing, he immediately reported to Moscow.
The Central Committee of the Moscow Soviets, now under Trotsky's organization, had mobilized most of its forces to prepare for the defense of Moscow, and suddenly the Japanese intervention forces wished to make peace and convey the news to the Chinese intervention forces, and there was a great discussion. After all, it is still very tempting to eliminate the Japanese intervention army. Of course, the failure to eliminate the Japanese intervention army in time was not just that Soviet Russia left a hand as the Chinese thought, but that Soviet Russia could not eat Japan's 110,000 intervention troops for the time being.
The discussion, which lasted for three days, was mainly due to the demands of Trotsky's side that the Japanese should not be allowed to exterminate him, and that the Japanese would be weak at the sight of the Russians when they regained the East in the future. On the other hand, Bukharin, as the representative, hoped that one side would immediately accept the Japanese proposal, release the Japanese, and thus eliminate the Volga Army in time, and strive to outflank and eliminate the main Kolchak force from behind the army as soon as possible. Bukharin was a hardcore ally of Stalin. In politics and Stalin, he advanced and retreated together, and his mention was also Stalin's heart. The established tactics must never be changed, and it is absolutely impossible to admit that the original strategy was the wrong one.
In fact, this was not the first time that Trotsky and Stalin had played each other, but Trotsky always had the upper hand in each encounter, but this time Stalin emerged victorious. Bukharinti waited for the reunification of Soviet Russia before destroying Japan, and Soviet Russia needed ten years of recovery, not resentment. This time, Zinoviev and others sided with Bukharin and Stalin, arguing that Russia should focus on Europe rather than on the desolate and bitter Siberia.
During these three days of discussion in Soviet Russia. The 3rd and 15th Army Divisions of the Chinese Intervention Army, aided by 20 airships, arrived west to Aktobe, where they had to rest in a sandstorm -- anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was just an excuse, and that there was no sandstorm in this sunny weather. The Japanese sent telegrams to the squadron one by one, first with orders, then with discussions, and then with prayers.
The Japanese intervention forces were reduced from 110,000 troops to more than 90,000 in a month's fighting. Now there are still 20,000 soldiers wounded, there are not many shells and bullets and other munitions left, and there is not much food, and they even have to eat human flesh to survive. How could the Japanese army not be in a hurry? But there is no news from Soviet Russia, Ren Yuanxing naturally will not use troops, let's go slowly, go one more day, and the Japanese will die a few more. These more than 30,000 squadrons are like an outing, wandering in Kazakhstan wantonly, but they refuse to set foot in the Tatar steppe.
Wang Maoru led a large number of eastward returnees to continue to move steadily, and finally arrived in the central Kazakh city of Karaganda after a lot of hardships, where they once again clashed with the local ethnic forces of Kazakhstan. Since this time the conflict zone was far away from the traditional forces of Soviet Russia and Tsarist Russia, Wang Maoru said to the officers with a sneer on his face, now you can do it boldly with confidence, don't have any worries, don't show mercy, give the Kazakhs a little color to see, so that they will be afraid and tremble when they see us in a hundred years.
Then he ordered Li Pinxian to lead the 1st Division, the 11th Cavalry Division, and the 16th Cavalry Division to form a crusade army, to kill all hostile squadrons or opponents, and to loot all supplies.
Due to the remote location, the Chinese intervention in the army did not spread widely, in addition to looting resources, China also robbed a lot of women, after all, there are too many singles in the army, looting these girls means to bring them back to the country to be rationed to the soldiers. Of course, before the marriage, these girls will be properly protected, and no one dares to touch them. What is very surprising is that these Kazakh tribes are actually many boys and girls, especially many girls, which makes everyone very incomprehensible. It wasn't until many years later that biogeneticists explained this phenomenon, and people in Kazakhstan and other West Asian countries loved to drink alcohol, which led to blood fever, which would reduce the Y chromosome in men's sperm, thus leading to the fact that the fetus was mostly daughters. In order to have sons to pass on the family, each Kazakh mother will have multiple children, which will lead to the birth of more girls. (Reminder for those who love to drink)
In this way, he stopped and stopped all the way, and all the Kazakh tribes were terrified along the way, as if he had returned to the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago when the Tang Heavenly Army swept through the countries of the Western Regions. After that, other Kazakh tribes, as well as Turkmen, Gilji and other tribes, expressed their submission to the squadron.
Wang Maoru naturally knew these people, in fact, these tribes were also quite miserable, and later the Soviets came to form the Soviet United Republic. But it did not do them any good, the leaders of these tribes were killed one after another, and the tribal form also died out, and later became a farm system, and then a collective rural system was established in the city. We can't comment on which system is good and which is bad, but at this stage, the strict hierarchy of the tribal system, where people of the higher rank can kill people of the first rank at will, is indeed outdated. Perhaps the people who call them zĂ i are not careerists, but politicians with ulterior motives.
And in Moscow, under Lenin's decision, the Japanese army was finally released. In order to cooperate with the squadron and perform a double reed play with it, the Soviet Russian army specially left an opening.
After Ren Yuanxing got the information, he immediately rushed to lead the troops, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth, and the Japanese continued to die in battle and other ways of death, and the number of troops was sharply reduced to 80,000, of course, the Soviet Russian soldiers were also losing, but after the Soviet Russian soldiers adapted to the new way of fighting, the casualties were greatly reduced. The war situation became more and more unfavorable to Japan, but more and more favorable to the Soviet army, and the Japanese finally relaxed when they received the news that the Chinese had come to the rescue.
On September 27, 1919, the squadron finally arrived at the place where the Japanese army was trapped in Yershov, and the next morning, the 35,000 squadron launched a charge against the Soviet Russian army's defense line, breaking through 30 kilometers in one day, and the Soviet Russian army had to retreat to both flanks. At this time, four divisions of the Japanese army took the opportunity to launch an attack on the Chinese reinforcements and the Soviet Russian defense.
The Japanese used up almost all the shells of the heavy artillery, and then with bandages on their heads, tens of thousands of people loaded bayonets and killed them towards the east. The Japanese were almost on the verge of death, and the Russians were originally going to take the opportunity to kill and injure the Japanese in large numbers, but they were panicked by their desperate counterattack. In addition, their high-ranking commanders received information that they would release the Japanese and let them return to East Asia, so that we could encircle and annihilate the reactionary army, so with the cooperation of the three parties, the Japanese finally broke out of the Soviet Russian encirclement on the night of September 28. They ran out of shells, blew up heavy artillery, and left behind supplies that could finance the enemy, and went into battle lightly and broke through the encirclement.
When the Japanese intervention army encountered Chinese reinforcements, the Japanese were so excited that they burst into tears, but Ren Yuanxing didn't see it, and the Chinese soldiers were also depressed. These Japanese kept bowing and thanking and coming up to hug the Chinese, which made many Chinese soldiers very uncomfortable. Subsequently, under the cover of Chinese soldiers, the Japanese intervention force began to count the soldiers, a total of more than 71,000 soldiers finally broke out of the encirclement, except for more than 3,000 wounded Japanese troops who left to surrender, another 5,000 people did not break out of the encirclement, and almost all heavy artillery and other heavy weapons were gone. The small cars in which the officers were riding were eventually replaced by large trucks, and a dozen officers had to ride in one.
The Chinese and Japanese armies merged and continued to flee eastward, and the Soviet Russian army was eager to encircle and annihilate the Russians, so they did not send troops to pursue. Perhaps because the Chinese saved them, when the temporary force of two Asian forces arrived in the Urals, the Japanese asked to walk with the Chinese.
Ren Yuanxing said to them depressedly: "We are entering western China, and if you follow this road, it will be very long. "There are three routes back to East Asia from the Urals, the first is along the Russian Far Eastern Railway, which goes from the territory of Russia, the second is along the Kazakhs, that is, along the Central Asian Railway, so that you can reach Xinjiang, China, and the third is a little farther but safer, which is to go south to the Caspian Sea and cross the border between Iran and Afghanistan under the protection of the British into India, since Iran, Afghanistan, and India are all pro-British forces, and the Japanese can return home by ship under their protection.
