I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 395

This move made the Nanjing army even more praised by the locals: "The Chinese army is really a civilized army!"

"Welcome to the Chinese People's Liberation Army!" A large number of Kazakhs welcomed the Nanjing Army with smiles on their faces. They called the Nanjing Army the "Liberation Army" because they regarded the Chinese army as "liberators."

In fact, this is the same treatment given to the German troops on the Eastern European battlefield. The German troops who entered Eastern Europe were regarded as "liberators" by the locals, and the Chinese troops who entered Central Asia were also regarded as "liberators" by the locals.

"It's going well!" Chen Mingren looked at his watch. At three o'clock in the morning, he raised his head. The Milky Way was still there, but dawn was not far away.

After the good news came, Wuhan, Peiping, and Berlin immediately cheered.

Jiang Weiguo couldn't help being overjoyed: "Not bad! Really good! At least it's a good start!"

Chiang Kai-shek was relieved, and he really broke into a cold sweat: "It's okay! It's okay! The national army flag has won!"

Hitler was even more elated. He was happy about two things. One was that the Chinese army had won the battle, and the other was that China had indeed participated in the Soviet war. Compared with the former, the latter made him more happy.

After the 17th Division took Almaty, the follow-up 123rd Division had arrived, and the whole army was non-stop. After leaving two brigades stationed in Almaty, the rest of the troops quickly moved to the next target.

The overall strength of the Nanjing Army is actually not as good as that of the Soviet Army. It is necessary to maximize the advantages brought by seizing the opportunity in the early stage of the war and expand the results of the war.

Amidst the triumphant songs in Chinese, the victorious officers and soldiers continued to march forward bravely, and the Central Asian desert was windy and sandy for thousands of miles.

Chapter 468

On the vast Gobi desert in the northwest, several cars ran wildly like bereaved dogs, and finally arrived at a small basin among several mountains, which was the agreed place.

After the car stopped, Feng Yuxiang staggered out, bent over and vomited violently. He was almost 60 years old and really couldn't bear the bumps of the car running for hundreds of kilometers like a wild horse, but this was only a secondary reason, and the main reason was him. The dream of a comeback was shattered again, which dealt a huge blow to him psychologically, and made him almost recall the pain and despair brought to him like a bolt from the blue when the Northwest Army collapsed after the Central Plains War.

Apart from pain and despair, Feng Yuxiang really couldn't figure out why his "[-] army" was completely defeated overnight. He originally thought that this trend would continue, and it would snowball like growing bigger and bigger. The more unshakable it is, but the fact is that after a division of the Nanjing Army entered the war, the "New Northwest Army" he had painstakingly managed was defeated all at once.

A few pairs of military boots appeared in Feng Yuxiang's downcast eyes. He raised his head and saw Li Shouxin, Andre and other Soviets.

Li Shouxin, Andre and the others looked at Feng Yuxiang with weird eyes, not angry or disappointed, only a weird ridicule and even weirder satisfaction.

"Mr. Andre!" Feng Yuxiang growled angrily and anxiously, "What's going on? You asked me to start a decisive battle with Chiang Kai-shek's army, and agreed to provide me with arms capable of arming 20 people and 5000 troops during the decisive battle. Ten thousand rubles! But I got nothing! My army was defeated because of this! I was completely surrounded by Chiang Kai-shek's army in the suburbs of Lanzhou! I was wiped out!"

Li Shouxin, Andre and others all laughed, and when Andre spoke, Feng Yuxiang was shocked, because what Andre spoke was not Russian, but Chinese, and it was very standard Chinese.

"Vice Chairman Feng, you really didn't disappoint us!" Andre looked at Feng Yuxiang with contempt in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Feng Yuxiang began to sweat coldly, and he suddenly felt that he had fallen into a trap from the very beginning.

Andre smiled slightly: "Feng Yuxiang, Feng Yuxiang, do you really think you have such a great ability? You can set off such a large-scale rebellion? If the chairman and the second son didn't provide you with various 'conveniences', you would You, can you really do it? The chairman gave you the designations of the four divisions, so that you can expand your army in a legitimate and unscrupulous manner. Gansu is the territory of the second son, but the second son turns a blind eye to your small actions. Just one eye, the Nanjing army does not interfere with you, can't you see all these things?"

Feng Yuxiang felt a dull thunder explode in his mind, and his mind went blank.

The sarcasm on Andre's face became more and more obvious: "It's a stupid thing to raise a tiger, but if the tiger is nothing to worry about and can be used, then it doesn't matter if you let him jump around for a while.

The Second Young Master intends to send troops from Xinjiang to fight the Soviets, but unfortunately, you can’t hoard large troops in Xinjiang and the Northwest, otherwise the Soviets will be alarmed, so you rebelled, which just gave the Second Young Master a reason to mobilize troops on a large scale; the chairman wiped out the Ma’s army, But the Ma family army still has a large number of remnants. It is not difficult to suppress those remnants, but it is annoying because they are too scattered and pervasive. It is naturally more troublesome to deal with guerrilla warfare. Therefore, we need a leader to lead them, Call them, integrate them into an army, gather them together, and fight a decisive battle with the national army in an upright manner. Wouldn't this be able to wipe out all the leftovers?Vice Chairman Feng, you are the most suitable candidate!The anti-government forces scattered in Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Xinjiang and other places were all recruited by you to your command to start a decisive battle with the national army. Tsk tsk, the entire army was wiped out in the end. This is what we want.

In order to paralyze you, Hu Zongnan deliberately lost the battle at the beginning of the war, how about it, understand? "

Feng Yuxiang looked at Andre with ashen face, shaking his lips: "You... are not from the Soviet Union!"

Andre laughed haha: "I understand now? It's too late.

Vice Chairman Feng, for your rebellion, the Second Young Master is your biggest supporter.

The Soviet munitions we provided to you in three batches were all given by the second son. In the Far East War, the national army won a complete victory and captured a large number of Soviet munitions. So, as much as you want, we have as much as you want.

But how can we really let you have as much as you want?The tens of thousands of guns in the front are to paralyze you, and the 20 guns in the back are naturally just empty promises, so that you can think that you are sure to win and start a decisive battle with the national army.

I told you a long time ago not to take the initiative to contact me, not to contact Moscow, why?Hehe, because I am a counterfeit, if you really contact Moscow, I will naturally be exposed.

My vice chairman Feng, Zhang Xueliang's lessons learned are just ahead, why don't you have a long memory? "

Feng Yuxiang was trembling all over, he clenched his fists and then let go, he laughed miserably: "Jiang Weiguo, so cruel...I've been played by you like a monkey..."

"Cruel?" Andre sneered, "Nothing more ruthless than people like you and Zhang Xueliang, for their own selfishness, disregarding the interests of the country, and even going to seek refuge in foreign countries and betraying their country for glory.

Alright, Vice Chairman Feng, thank you for cooperating with us in such a good show, now, it's time to end!" He waved his hand.

Hundreds of Haitong agents who had been ambushing nearby rushed forward, each armed with a submachine gun.

Feng Yuxiang and others suddenly changed their expressions in shock: "You..." The exclamation was instantly submerged in the sound of submachine gun fire, screams, and blood splashing everywhere.

"This deceitful thing!" Li Shouxin stepped forward, kicked Feng Yuxiang's body, and exhaled a mouthful of smoke, "If you have milk, you are a mother! What the hell!"

"Isn't it the same as you?" Andre said flatly behind Li Shouxin.

Li Shouxin turned his head in astonishment, and saw Andre's pistol pointed at him.

With a bang, Li Shouxin's head exploded, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and his body fell to the ground.

Andre put away his pistol, and strode to one of the cars in the convoy behind him: "Boss, it's all done!"

Shu Guosheng, deputy director of the Bureau of Maritime Statistics, who was sitting in the car, nodded with satisfaction: "Clean up the scene and make it clean!"

The capture of Almaty, the largest city in Central Asia and the hub of the Central Asian railway line, means that the Nanjing Army has taken a great initiative in the Central Asian battlefield. The Soviet Union's "Central Asian Railway Line" started from Siberia The railway line extends from Novosibirsk to the south, passing through the Kazakh capital Almaty, the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek, the Uzbek capital Samarkand, the Tajik capital Dushanbe, and the Turkmen capital Ashgabat. It is conceivable that Almaty is currently captured by the Nanjing Army. This railway line stretching over 500 kilometers is like a nerve center being cut off. There are other ways to reach the five Central Asian countries, but the loss of the most important transportation line, the railway, will naturally lead to a sharp drop in transportation capacity. This is completely a replica of the loss of control in the Soviet Far East after Anbei (Irkutsk) was taken by the Nanjing Army. , in Central Asia, the Nanjing army can already advance and attack, retreat and defend.

Central Asia was the place where the Nanjing Army had to strike first after joining the war, but it was not the first battlefield, and the first battlefield was still North Asia.

After the 17th Division raided and took Almaty lightly, the 123rd Division arrived immediately to respond. After handing over Almaty and the railway line north of Almaty to the 123rd Division, the 17th Division rushed northward. The 111th Division that entered Xinjiang also resolutely attacked.

After the 111th Division entered Xinjiang from Ningxia, it headed northwest all the way to northern Xinjiang. After the war, the division attacked from Burqin in northern Xinjiang, and entered northern Kazakhstan like lightning. The speed was very fast, and it also caught the Soviet army by surprise.

The reason why the 111th Division is so fast is because the wind is smooth.

Before the war, the Nanjing Army in Xinjiang prepared a large number of rafts and wooden boats according to the order of the headquarters, and also prepared a large number of small engines.

Each of these small engines is only one cubic meter in size, and they burn diesel to generate driving force. The manufacture is not complicated.

After the 111th Division attacked from northern Xinjiang, it did not take the land route, but took the water route, because an international river crosses Xinjiang, Kazakhstan, and Russia, that is, the Irtysh River, the largest tributary of the Ob River, and the most ingenious thing is, This big river originates from the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang, flows through Kazakhstan, and flows into Russia. That is to say, the 111th Division of the Nanjing Army flows down the river in Xinjiang. In addition, there are engines installed on the rafts and wooden boats, so the journey is naturally smooth. , the speed is fast.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Hurry up!" When the 17th Division was preparing to attack Almaty, the 111th Division was also preparing for the expedition in Burqin. Officers and soldiers gathered on both sides of the Irtysh River. Thousands of rafts and wooden boats and thousands of inflatable rubber boats imported from Germany were pushed into the river. In order to prevent the wind and waves from overturning, the rafts, wooden boats and kayaks are connected in rows with cables just like the warships of Cao Jun before the Chibi War. Get up, and the engineers install the diesel engine.

The officers and soldiers boarded the ship in an orderly manner and carried the ordnance and supplies onto the ship. For a while, "thousands of sails raced and thousands of boats competed to flow" on the Irtysh River, with the sound of splashes, footsteps, roar of engines, and people shouting and neighing... .It was deafening, accompanied by the shouts of Xinjiang people who came to see off:

"I wish you victory!"

"You will surely win the battle!"

"Return in triumph! Return safely! We are waiting for you to come back after winning the battle!"

Enthusiastic Xinjiang people scrambled to deliver the cantaloupe, jujube, grapes, naan, and wine piled up into hills to the rafts, wooden boats and kayaks of the officers and soldiers.

The officers and soldiers all had tears in their eyes and waved their hands desperately: "We will win the battle!"

"Let's go!" The division commander, Wu Shimin, waved his hands repeatedly to the people who were seeing off the people, and then raised his arms and shouted.

More than [-] officers and soldiers of the whole division gathered on the Taotao River to form a fleet that could not be seen at a glance. The fleet was mighty and magnificent.

There are more than a dozen patrol boats in front of the fleet, responsible for opening, exploring, guarding and patrolling.

At 8:1 on August 0, the 111th Division crossed the national border and entered Kazakhstan. Strictly speaking, it entered Outer Xinjiang.

In just three hours, the 111th Division approached the city of Oskmen, one of the two core cities in northeastern Kazakhstan.

Oskmen is a city similar to Wuhan in geography. It is located at the confluence of the Irtysh River and the Urba River. The urban area is divided into four by two large rivers. The Nanjing Army rushed into the urban area directly on the river.

The residents in the city and the local Soviet army were stunned, and they didn't recover at all. Amidst the loud Chinese shouts and gun explosions, the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing army on the rafts and kayaks changed their course and rushed towards the river on the river. In the urban area, the whole city was boiling. The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army near the bank of the urban area roared and jumped into the waist-deep water, shooting and throwing grenades while charging.

"The Chinese are coming!" "The enemy is coming!" The Soviet army who had just awakened from a dream yelled and started to resist.

In the hail of guns and bullets, the Nanjing Army charged bravely, shells and grenades whizzed and danced wildly, exploding fireballs that sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, and amidst the hysterical screams and wailing, batches of Soviet troops were killed.

The bullet rain of the Soviet army also shot and killed the Nanjing army with no cover on the river. The casualties were not small. When pierced by a bullet, it immediately deflated and sank into the water with the officers, soldiers or supplies on it.

The officers and soldiers who fell into the water continued to charge while swimming, climbed ashore dripping wet and bravely entered the battle.

The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army who went ashore brandished their weapons and continued to attack and plunge into the urban area. The artillerymen of the Nanjing Army who arrived at the edge of the urban area on a large wooden boat and raft quickly unloaded their artillery on the bank and angered the awakened Oskemen. Flames burst out, and waves of shells whizzed into the city like meteors, exploding clusters of flames that soared into the sky.

Oskmen is not in the territory of outer Xinjiang, and its importance is not as great as that of Almaty. Therefore, the local Soviet army only has one infantry brigade and two militia divisions, and they were quickly killed by the 111th division.

It took just over an hour for the Nanjing army to successfully capture Oskmen, and then without stopping, leaving a brigade stationed in Oskmen, searching for the remnants of the Soviet army, maintaining order, and posting safety notices. The other two brigades had no time to catch their breath and continued to fight Set sail on the Irtysh River, all the way to the west.

More than an hour later, the troops arrived at Semey, another of the two core cities in northeastern Kazakhstan, with smooth sailing.

Before the siege, Samurai Min knew from intelligence that the Soviet army had an army stationed in Semey, with a strength of no less than 400 troops. In addition to the militia troops that the Soviet army urgently established after the German-Soviet war broke out, the total strength may be as high as more than [-]. The importance of Mey greatly exceeds Oskmen, because Semey is more than [-] kilometers north of Novosibirsk.

Despite the strength of the enemy army, our own troops were already relatively exhausted from the long-distance march (in fact, they were not tired, all the way by boat) and the battle that had just passed through Oskemen. Samurai Min still gritted his teeth and resolutely issued an attack order.

"Soldiers are expensive! Since we have killed the enemy by surprise, we have seized the opportunity. If we can't make full use of it, the loss will never come again, and it will be more difficult to attack again. When our follow-up troops arrive, the Soviet army will follow up." The troops will also arrive and make defensive preparations, so we must fight now! Even if the casualties are heavy, we must fight! Fortunately, it is early in the morning and the sun is not yet dawn. The Soviet army does not know our strength, so we can let Even if we can't take the city, we can tear open a few gaps, so that our follow-up troops can occupy the city more easily!" At the pre-war meeting, Samurai Min calmly analyzed, and he said very emotionally, "Our 77th Division is not the main force of the Nanjing Army, but we have to assume the task of the main force at the beginning of the war. Even if we are indeed inferior to the [-]th Division, [-]th Division and other brother troops, we must be worthy of our responsibilities and missions! "

The officers participating in the meeting were all awe-inspiring: "We will definitely complete the task!"

After the whole division rested for a while, they launched a powerful attack with the momentum of breaking the boat. Samurai Min and other senior officers were already mentally prepared for the strong defense and even counter-attack of the Soviet army, and the troops fell into a hard fight and suffered heavy casualties. The Soviet army defending the city was almost vulnerable. The 111th Division broke into the city and quickly occupied the city.

After the battle, it was discovered that the Soviet army defending the city was originally less than [-], and most of them were militiamen, with no combat effectiveness at all.

The 111th Division simply "picked up" a victory for nothing.

Puzzled, Samurai Min immediately interrogated the Soviet prisoners, only to find out that the main force of Semeiyi's Soviet army had left.

After the Nanjing Army launched an attack on Almaty, Lieutenant General SG Tolo Femenko, the commander of the Central Asian Military Region of the Soviet Army, received the report immediately. This bad news surprised Tolo Femenko.

Tolofemenko is not a famous general. He is a "rookie" who replaced the original batch of veterans after the "Great Purge" of the Soviet Union. He was born as a political officer and lacks military talent and military command ability. With actual combat experience, he suddenly panicked. He was afraid that he would not be able to hold the key. In that case, the black gauze cap on his head and the head under the black gauze cap would definitely not be able to keep together. The other troops issued the same order: immediately reinforce Almaty and take back Almaty!Block the Chinese!

Because of this, when the 111th Division reached Semey, the local Soviet defense was weak. Tolofemenko was caught off guard because of his panic and made a major mistake of focusing on one thing and neglecting another.

After dawn this day, the flames of war were not only burning in Central Asia, but also in North Asia.

The main forces of the Nanjing Army assembled in Mongolia, Beihai and other border provinces between China and the Soviet Union launched a massive attack on the Soviet Army on the opposite side of the border. Hundreds of thousands of troops flooded across the border like a mountain.

"If the Soviet Union is destroyed, the Soviet Union is divided, and the Soviet Union is eaten, China's national power will increase by at least three times! If you lose or lose more than the gains, everything will be over!" On the plane flying on the Mongolian plateau, Jiang Weiguo looked down. Looking at the Chinese army that was winding forward below, I couldn't help but clenched my fists tremblingly, "It's all a gamble!"
