Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Choibalsan's luck was very good. After the division of troops was completed, the bomber that had been hovering over everyone's heads disappeared from his field of vision along with the Soviet major general.However, for Choibalsan, this kind of good luck can only make him live a few 10 minutes longer than the Soviet major general.

Ten kilometers directly in front of Mount Choibal, a tank company and an infantry company of the National Defense Forces deployed in this area are forming a search formation, pressing towards the direction of Qiaobashang step by step.

According to the speed of the two armies, within 10 minutes at the latest, the two disproportionate troops, whether in terms of equipment or strength, would collide with each other.At that time, Choibalsan will be greeted with another unilateral massacre.

Because only less than a hundred cavalry followed around Choibalsan, when the two armies were one kilometer apart, Choibalsan, who was walking at the front of the team, immediately spotted the National Defense Forces rushing towards him.

Then, an exclamation full of despair came from Choibalsan's mouth: "How could this be? How could there be a national defense army here, and there are so many tanks. Could it be that today is really the end of Choibalsan? I am Choibalsan..."

A confidant company commander who was following Choibalsan frowned, and exclaimed at Choibalsan: "Commander-in-Chief, the national defense force has less than one battalion of troops. As long as we use the advantage of cavalry to bypass this national defense force, we will return There is a possibility of escaping from Outer Mongolia... Commander-in-Chief, I will lead the troops to cover, and you take a guard squad, and immediately go around the opponent's flank and rush out of Outer Mongolia as quickly as possible."

After taking a deep look at the subordinates around him who did not hesitate to protect him with his own life, Qiao Bashan did not hesitate, and quickly left the team with a dozen of his confidants.Prepare to break out from the two wings of the Wehrmacht.

However, the idea is clearly a pipe dream.

Seeing the Outer Mongolian cavalry suddenly changing in front of them.The ten tanks and twenty cars lined up in a row were also divided into two.Three tanks carried six cars full of soldiers.Directly chased in the direction of Choibalsan's breakout.The remaining seven tanks and more than a dozen vehicles rushed towards the Choibalsan covering troops in the same direction.

The sound of guns and guns sounded, and the more than 60 cavalry who were abandoned by Choibalsan didn't even have time to react, and they were torn to pieces by the flying bullets and shells.

As for Choibalsan, who broke through in a scattered manner, although he tried his best to break through.However, the speed of war horses is no faster than that of tanks and cars. In less than a minute, a dozen cavalry led by Choibalsan entered the effective range of seven tanks and dozens of vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns.

The dull sound of machine gun fire rang out on the grassland, and more than a dozen Outer Mongolian cavalrymen hadn't reacted from their shock.A burst of bullets enveloped everyone.Choibalsan, who was at the forefront, obviously received special attention. Whether it was Choibalsan himself or the war horse boasted by Choibalsan, he was instantly smashed into a hornet's nest by bullets, and then fell heavily on the grass.

As the gunshots shrouded in the Mongolian prairie gradually subsided, groups of Outer Mongolian prisoners of war began to walk out of the battlefield under the escort of the National Defense Forces.Of course, with the prisoners of war leaving the battlefield, there are groups of horses that survived by chance.

When the body of Qiao Bashan, commander-in-chief of the Outer Mongolia Army, was sent to Xiong Shaowen.The decisive battle in Outer Mongolia, which lasted for more than half a month, officially ended with the complete victory of the National Defense Forces.

Of course, the end of the main decisive battle does not mean that Outer Mongolia has sunk to the bottom and fell into the hands of the National Defense Forces.Because of the characteristics of the nomadic people in Outer Mongolia, coupled with the perennial religious rule and propaganda of Mount Choibald.In the eyes of more than 100 million people in Outer Mongolia, the idea that the Han people came to the prairie of Outer Mongolia to enslave themselves has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, scattered throughout the steppes of Outer Mongolia.Moreover, the more than 100 million herdsmen who live in no fixed place are still a potential threat to the National Defense Forces, and may threaten the lives of the National Defense Forces officers and soldiers who enter the Mongolian steppe at any time.not only.The threat to the Wehrmacht grew as a small number of battlefield routs began to spread to these tribes.

"Report to the military seat. The 131st regiment reported that when a patrol team of our army was conducting a routine patrol around the garrison, it was suddenly attacked by a group of horse bandits. None of the more than [-] soldiers in the patrol team was spared, and all of them were attacked. The brutal massacre of the attackers." The Thirteenth Army's forward headquarters, Commander Xiong Shaowen, hadn't recovered from the decisive battle that had just ended, and this report from his subordinates made him turn pale with shock again.

After slamming his clenched fist on the desk in front of him, he asked the chief of staff with the same solemn expression beside him: "Chief of staff, this is the first time we have been raided in the past few days... In the past two days, How many troops have we lost in total..."

The chief of staff frowned, and reported: "Army, this is the third attack in two days... We lost an infantry squad in the first attack... we lost two infantry squads in the second attack ....As for today's attack, we lost a whole infantry platoon...."

"In just two days, we lost almost a hundred troops, almost catching up with our losses in the entire decisive battle. As for the results of the battle, we only found dozens of corpses abandoned by outside raiders. Chief of Staff, tell me, our reconnaissance What are the troops doing for food? Couldn’t they have found no trace after three consecutive raids.”

The chief of staff replied with a puzzled face: "Sir, although we haven't found the specific hiding place of these horse bandits. However, we have confirmed the identity of these horse bandits through the corpses left by these horse bandits. The horse bandits who attacked us The bandits are not real horse bandits, but have always been beneficial to the Outer Mongolian herdsmen around us. So far, I have ordered the reconnaissance force to dispatch elite scouts to the places where these herdsmen live. No accidents, it won’t take long There will be news back."

Sure enough, as soon as the chief of staff's voice fell, a report sounded at the command department.Then, an officer with the rank of major on his shoulders walked in and delivered a report to the chief of staff.

After quickly reading the report in hand, a hint of surprise appeared on the face of the chief of staff, and he affirmed to Xiong Shaowen: "Junzuo, our guess just now was correct. The horse bandits who attacked us all came from this Mongolian tribe. In the decisive battle two days ago Almost a company of Outer Mongolian cavalry fled to this tribe and was taken in. Afterwards, this cavalry company began to recruit troops in the tribe, no. In less than two days, a company of cavalry has expanded to two battalions. Almost Include all the young and middle-aged men of this Outer Mongolian tribe into the newly expanded troops."

Xiong Shaowen, who had been aggrieved for two days, finally found a target to vent, and ordered loudly to the chief of staff: "In that case, chief of staff, what are you still doing in a daze? Immediately order the 131st regiment to send troops, and give me the Outer Mongolian cavalry Encircled and suppressed. Since they dare to think of us launching an attack, they must pay the price for their actions."

Looking at the army commander with a murderous look in front of him, the chief of staff did not leave immediately, but persuaded Xiong Shaowen: "Please calm down the army...According to the report: 100% of this cavalry force is still ordinary Mongols. When we send troops, it is tantamount to encircling and suppressing the entire Outer Mongolian tribe. At that time, our already tense relationship with the Outer Mongolians will definitely become more tense. It may even lead to a full-scale war, and all the more than [-] million Outer Mongolians will be drawn into the flames of war..."

"Then let's just watch this group of Outer Mongolian cavalrymen dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, constantly attacking and slaughtering our soldiers... I am not reconciled, absolutely not reconciled..." Xiong Shaowen roared sharply with red eyes.

The chief of staff shook his head and replied: "Senior, revenge is certain. As for the degree of revenge, we must discuss it carefully to avoid pushing all the more than 1 million people in Outer Mongolia to our hostile side. Therefore, My suggestion is to report the situation here to the headquarters immediately, and ask the headquarters to make a decision. I believe that the other main divisions of our army located in Outer Mongolia will also encounter the same situation as ours."

Shenyang National Defense Forces General Headquarters.In the face of Xiong Shaowen's call for war telegram, Jiang Baili did not dare to be dictatorial.After all, this order concerns more than 100 million Mongolians in Outer Mongolia.

Li Guosheng's office.After reading the telegram Jiang Baili handed over, a trace of fierce murderous aura quickly emanated from Li Guosheng.then.He replied to Jiang Baili: "Chief of Staff, my idea is very simple. I quoted a sentence from Xiong Shaowen's telegram. Since these Outer Mongolians dared to attack us, they must pay the price for their actions."

Jiang Baili frowned, and asked Li Guosheng: "Boss, you mean to send troops to encircle and suppress these raiders... But, I am worried that after the battle starts, all the Outer Mongolians may be pushed to our opposing side. "

Li Guosheng shook his head and replied: "Chief of Staff, let's not discuss this issue first. Let me ask you, if we don't encircle and suppress these Outer Mongolians, how long will it take under the current situation to bring Outer Mongolia under the control of our National Defense Forces?" Down."

"Five years, at least five years. As far as I know, Outer Mongolians are deeply influenced by religion. Without five years, we will not be able to change the impression of Han people in the hearts of Outer Mongolians, and we will not be able to truly return Outer Mongolians. After all, this group of Outer Mongolians belonged to a foreign race since ancient times, and they always wanted to establish an independent country." Jiang Baili replied.

Li Guosheng nodded and said: "Five years is not enough time. In this way, we will count according to five years. Before the Outer Mongolians really return to their hearts, in order to guard against the Soviet Far East Military Region and more than 100 million Outer Mongolians, We must deploy at least two armies in Outer Mongolia. Facing the long logistics supply line and various rebellions that may be launched at any time by more than 100 million Outer Mongolians, how much military expenditure will the two armies spend in five years? Have you calculated it?"

Seeing the murderous aura emanating from Li Guosheng, Jiang Baili's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help exclaiming: "Boss, what do you mean, take all the more than 100 million Outer Mongolians in Outer Mongolia..."

Seeing the murderous gesture made by Jiang Baili, Li Guosheng quickly shook his head and denied it: "Chief of Staff, I, Li Guosheng, are not so cruel... Besides, I will directly kill more than 100 million traitors who have always thought about rebelling against the country. It’s too cheap for them. In addition, after killing all the Outer Mongolians, what’s the use of us asking for a piece of Outer Mongolia prairie without people.”

"Then what do you mean... Chief, don't be a fool, just tell me if you have any ideas." Jiang Baili asked eagerly with a puzzled face.

"Start from two aspects..." Li Guosheng affirmed.

"First, find ways to reduce the number of Outer Mongolians in Outer Mongolia, especially the number of young and middle-aged people, and increase the proportion and number of Han people in Outer Mongolia. As long as the proportion of Han people in Outer Mongolia exceeds that of Outer Mongolians, the entire Outer Mongolia will be completely The bottom fell into the hands of our National Defense Forces and became another treasure of our National Defense Forces."

"Second. Build a railway from the three northeastern provinces to the territory of Outer Mongolia, and connect Outer Mongolia with the entire three northeastern provinces and the Baikal region. As long as Outer Mongolia has a complete railway network. No matter what the weather is, what season. We They can quickly transport troops and supplies to Outer Mongolia by railway.”

"The two plans go hand in hand. I believe that within two years at the latest, Outer Mongolia will truly integrate into our national defense force."

Seeing Jiang Baili with a shocked face in front of him, Li Guosheng continued: "To accomplish the above two goals, we must make good use of the contradiction in front of us... More than 100 million Outer Mongolians, even after Qiaobashan's two military expansions, It is conservatively estimated that there are still more than 20 young and strong laborers in Outer Mongolia."

"My idea is to make good use of this opportunity and take advantage of the remnants of the Choibal Mountains scattered in Outer Mongolia..."

I saw Li Guosheng who was still reticent in front of me.Jiang Baili continued to ask: "Boss, what are you going to do?"

Li Guosheng replied with a sneer: "Ciobasan is dead. I believe that the remnants of Qiaobasan scattered in Outer Mongolia will not be so stupid as to continue to work for a dead man. The reason why they expanded their army among the major tribes is nothing more than I want to keep the power and status in my hands, especially my own life."

"Since this is the case, we will give them what they want. Let them bring their soldiers and the Outer Mongolian Army to our National Defense Forces in exchange for the freedom and money they want. Think about it, even if we pay 50 yuan for a young Mongolian man In exchange for these broken troops, all the young and middle-aged people in Outer Mongolia who might pose a threat to us will be pulled to the railway to repair the railway. We only need to pay 1000 million oceans."

"Use 1000 million yuan to buy the peace of Outer Mongolia, a complete railway line, and a prairie with a radius of hundreds of square kilometers. This kind of sale, no matter how you look at it, is very beneficial to us. And harmless."

"Of course, we don't need to be polite to those stubborn and broken soldiers. As long as we don't voluntarily surrender to our National Defense Forces within the prescribed time limit, we will send troops to wipe them out. The diehards will be wiped out on the spot. The middle-aged are all treated as prisoners of war. They are handed over to our Construction Corps for processing."

"In addition, it is absolutely impossible to truly consolidate the prairie of more than 100 million square kilometers in Outer Mongolia. It is absolutely impossible to rely on millions of Outer Mongolian women and children who have no young labor. Another idea of ​​mine is to establish Outer Mongolia. , the government will immediately establish the Outer Mongolia Provincial Government. The first priority of the Outer Mongolia Provincial Government after its establishment is to immigrate to Outer Mongolia. Try to make the proportion of Han people in Outer Mongolia exceed that in Outer Mongolia within two years. It has developed into the main producing area of ​​meat and leather products in the three northeastern provinces."

Facing Li Guosheng's almost categorical order, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili firmly supported him: "President, I will immediately call back the front line according to your wishes. At the same time, organize a joint meeting, and with the help of Chairman Li of the government, form a foreign The Mongolian Provincial Government, at the same time, requires the railway department to immediately organize manpower exploration and design the railway line leading to the Outer Mongolia steppe."

After two decisive battles in Outer Mongolia that were almost unilateral massacres, the defeated soldiers scattered in the major tribes of Outer Mongolia can be said to be full of fear for the National Defense Forces.Under such circumstances, the reason why these routs continue to attack the Wehrmacht patrols.On the one hand, they want to use this method to arouse the hatred of the Outer Mongolians towards the National Defense Forces, and encourage young and middle-aged men from various tribes to join them to expand their military strength.On the other hand, in order to boost the low morale of the troops, they obtained weapons and equipment from the Wehrmacht patrols.

However, no matter what, the fear of the Wehrmacht has thoroughly penetrated into the hearts of these defeated soldiers.In the eyes of these defeated soldiers, they would rather flee abroad alone than engage in a decisive battle with the main force of the National Defense Forces.

Therefore, after receiving the notice of surrender from the National Defense Forces, most of the defeated soldiers who saw hope chose to lead the men they had just recruited to the National Defense Forces in exchange for Ocean.Then, he went to Inner Mongolia with his wealth to become his own rich man and left the army ever since.

Of course, there are also a few diehard followers of Choibalsan who don't appreciate it, and continue to attack the National Defense Forces with the newly expanded subordinates, and continue to confront the National Defense Forces under the slogan of "drive the National Defense Forces out of the Outer Mongolian Steppe".

At the former enemy headquarters of the Thirteenth Army, the commander Xiong Shaowen was listening to the reconnaissance team's report on an Outer Mongolian tribe [-] kilometers away with a fiery face, and inserted a few words from time to time, asking about something he was interested in.

"You mean that the total population of this Outer Mongolian tribe directly exceeds 1 people, and there are almost 500 Outer Mongolian cavalrymen who can ride horses into the battlefield. And among these [-] young and middle-aged men, half of them have joined this rout soldiers, and launched two surprise attacks on us..." Xiong Shaowen asked with a murderous expression.

"Yes, the military seat... More than 80 soldiers of our army have died at the hands of these routs. If we don't wipe out these routs, our patrolling troops will be defenseless." The battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion Sure.

A strong murderous aura quickly emanated from Xiong Shaowen, and without the slightest hesitation, he ordered to the chief of staff: "Chief of staff, since this rout of soldiers is not sensitive, then we don't need to be polite. Order the 131st regiment The 131st Division is directly under the Armored Assault Battalion and the Reconnaissance Battalion, and they will attack immediately. The commander of the 131st Regiment will serve as the commander-in-chief of the operation, and I will destroy this Mongolian tribe within a day, and capture all the young and middle-aged men who participated in the rebellion in the tribe. As for The tribe's finances, except for the necessary living materials, the remaining cattle, sheep and finances were all confiscated... I want to let all the Outer Mongolians in the territory know that the result of confronting the National Defense Forces is definitely not something they can bear. "

"Yes, the military seat..." (to be continued...)
