Glorious Mission 1937

For a former republican leader like Chen Feng, especially a military officer, bandits and horse bandits are one of the most annoying creatures.According to Chen Feng's temper before, it must be dealt with one at a time.But in the Battle of Huangshiya, after Yehelina was captured, and Chen Feng learned that she was actually a Russian, and also a White Russian, Chen Feng had the idea of ​​recruiting those horse bandits in his heart.

At that time, he was going to train these White Russians into a surprise army, which was specially used to deal with the surprise soldiers of the Soviet Union.According to Chen Feng's previous idea, these people should be trained one by one to become elite soldiers, and then at the critical moment, they would all be sent to the Soviet Union to harm Lao Maozi, creating opportunities for him and his army.

But with the development of things, especially after Yehelina proposed to marry him, Chen Feng's plan has been slowly revised, but this plan has been slowly implemented from the beginning to the end.

After nearly three years of development, Yehelina's White Russian army has more than 8000 elite soldiers. This army is composed of White Russian soldiers, and they have been serving in the cavalry group under Chen Feng's command.Not long ago, the cavalry group was split up, and these White Russian soldiers were singled out by Chen Feng and handed over to Yehelina's command.

Chen Feng asked Yehelina to form a White Russian army with a number of not less than 5 within one year, because with the changes in the Western European war situation, Chen Feng expected that the plan to invade the Soviet Union should be advanced, so the plan to form a White Russian army alone It should also be in advance.

It is not a fantasy to form a White Russian army. In fact, some people have done such a thing a few years ago.The man who first recruited White Russian mercenaries was Zhang Zongchang, Zhang Zongchang, the famous "dog meat general", "devil king", "long-legged general", "three unknown generals", and "five poisonous generals" during the Republic of China.Styled Xiaokun, a native of Ye County, Shandong Province.He was a famous local warlord in the period of the Republic of China. He had two characteristics. The first was his addiction to gambling, and he played with dominoes all day long. The local people called playing Pai Gow "eating dog meat", so Zhang Zongchang was nicknamed "General Dog Meat".The second person is full of bad deeds and full of crimes.I don't know how many concubines I have, how many guns I have, or how much money I have.The old man called him "three generals who don't know".

Zhang Zongchang is a microcosm of warlord melee during the Republic of China.In 1921, that is, around the tenth year of the Republic of China, he was actually not satisfied.In the past, he was attached to the Beiyang government and directly related to Feng Guozhang.Mixed into a new sixth mixed brigade commander.Later he was promoted to teacher. In 1928, he sent troops to Hunan to aid Hunan.But something went wrong and he retreated to Jiangxi, only to be surrounded by Jiangxi Governor Chen Guangyuan.Troops were disarmed and soldiers demobilized or reorganized.Zhang Zongchang ran away secretly, and then joined Cao Kun, a direct lineage, but was not taken in.He went out of customs and turned to Zhang Zuolin to pour out his intention of serving.The king of Guanwai took him in, but he didn't reuse him.

During the first Zhifeng War, Zhang Zongchang fought for the opportunity to put down Gao Shibin's rebellion in Jilin. Zhang Zuolin appointed him as the commander of the division and the guardian of Suidong, stationed on the Sino-Russian border.But Marshal Zhang knew what kind of guy Zhang Zongchang was, and was worried that Zhang Zongchang would rebel, so the ration limit, lack of equipment, and more soldiers were unarmed to limit Zhang Zongchang.

But miracles always happen inadvertently. One day, when Zhang Zongchang led his soldiers to climb mountains and ridges for physical training, he found a person lying in a ravine in the distance. He was surprised.There are few people in this place, how can there be people?So someone was sent to check, and the soldier came back and reported that he was a foreigner and did not understand Chinese.Judging from the clothes, it looks like a Russian military officer.The man was suffering from hunger and cold, and seemed to be sick, and he was about to die.

Zhang Zongchang went down the mountain to see it himself.He spent his early years in Vladivostok and could speak Russian, but he didn't know a single word of Russian.Upon questioning, this man was named Gustlauf, who was once the artillery commander of the White Army in Imperial Russia.During the Russian Communist Revolution, he was chased by the Red Army and fled into the mountains on the Chinese border when he had nowhere to go.Zhang Zongchang carried him back to the teacher's headquarters on a horse, took good care of him, extended medical treatment, and recovered after more than ten days.

Gerstlauf thanked Zhang for his life-saving grace. Seeing that Zhang's soldiers lacked guns and ammunition, he revealed that in a valley not far from the Russian border, there was a railway branch line with a train full of ammunition and several cannons parked there.It was left behind by the imperial Russian army, but it couldn't move because it didn't have a locomotive.If Zhang can send a locomotive to pull it back, the ammunition will belong to Zhang.He also pointed out that the Red Army will come soon and must be pulled quickly.

Zhang Zongchang was overjoyed and asked for a locomotive from the Middle East Railway. Gustlauf led the way and pulled back all the munitions of the train. More than 300 White Russian soldiers followed. Zhang Zongchang took them all in and organized them into the White Russian Corps , led by Gustlauf.At that time, a large number of Belarusians were exiled to Northeast China, many of them were soldiers, and most of them went to Zhang Zongchang's command, and soon grew to more than 500 people, becoming a powerful force with strong combat effectiveness.Later, Zhang Zongchang relied on this white goose mercenary army to make military exploits repeatedly, won Zhang Zuolin's favor, and gradually emerged in the non-direct line Feng army, and the largest white Russian mercenary army even exceeded [-] people.

What Zhang Zongchang can do, Chen Feng doesn't believe that he can't do it, besides, he now has more than 8000 elite Belarusian soldiers. In the wars of the past few years, Chen Feng treated these Belarusian officers and soldiers equally, no matter in terms of promotion or salary. Like the Han and Mongolian ethnic groups, there are senior officers such as Yehelina, Andrei, Victor, and Bo Posha in the eighth war zone, and there are hundreds of grassroots officers. Therefore, in the eighth war zone, these Belarusians Members of the officers and soldiers have a sense of belonging.

After many investigations, Chen Feng learned that although more than ten years have passed, there are still many White Russians living in China, and the lives of these White Russians are very poor.As a result, many White Russian women have to sell their prostitutes as a reason, so that Shanghai's large and small dance halls seem to be monopolized by White Russian girls. Their unique blond hair, high nose and colorful neon lights have become the main representatives of Shanghai's nightlife.According to statistics, 16% of Belarusian women between the ages of 45 and 22 are engaged in prostitution.

The Belarusian who fled to China was almost destitute. Because of the dire life, young Belarusian women began to prostitute and eventually became prostitutes.The influx of refugees has completely changed the face of the original Belarusian community. The difficulties they face are enormous. First of all, they have no nationality.

In 1921, the Soviet government revoked the citizenship of all fleeing Belarus. The only identity these people had was the passport of the League of Nations at that time. This passport was only recognized by 51 countries, not including China.

After learning about this, Chen Feng began to support Yehelina in recruiting Belarusian refugees in 39. After more than half a year of hard work, the results were quite remarkable. And Shanghai's Belarus-based.

After these people arrive in Saibei, they will be arranged to work as long as they pass the review, and they will even be recruited into the army and receive strict training.

Originally, Chen Feng planned to slowly develop the White Russian army in this way, and send this army to the Soviet Union at the critical moment, but because of the agreement, Chen Feng saw an opportunity to enter the Soviet Union in advance.

On April 4rd, Chen Feng personally inspected the Railway Guard Brigade of the Eighth War Zone stationed in the Second Company. In fact, only Yeherina and a few senior officers knew that this Railway Guard Brigade was actually composed of Belarusian soldiers. .Moreover, although this unit is only a brigade-level military unit, the number of officers is quite high. The brigade commander is personally held by Yehelina, with the rank of lieutenant general.

There are as many as three deputy brigade commanders, all with the rank of major general; 2 chiefs of staff, with the rank of major general; and 4 deputy chiefs of staff, with the rank of colonel.This railway garrison brigade has two infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment under its jurisdiction. The officers of all combat units are equipped with one officer, two officers, or one officer and three officers, and their ranks are scary.

You must know that the military ranks of the officers in the Eighth War Zone are not for display, not to mention other things, each time the military rank is raised, the military salary will increase a lot. With so many officers, the military expenditure alone will increase a lot every month.Therefore, all officers of the Railway Guard Brigade know that their force may expand at any time.

In fact, this is exactly the case. The purpose of Chen Feng's visit this time is to transfer 2000 backbone soldiers from this army to go to the Tyumen region together with some Chinese soldiers to act as a garrison there. In Chen Feng's opinion, it is the best way to infiltrate the Soviet Union. Opportunity.

At this time, the Tyumen region was just a very small town, with a permanent population of less than 30 within a radius of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers, and the Soviet government did not pay much attention to it. Originally, the resident troops were only a few hundred people, so Chen Feng It is believed that the entry of this White Russian army into the Tyumen region will not arouse the vigilance of the Soviet government. After all, it is obvious to all that Chen Feng's troops have foreign soldiers.

Not only Russians, but also Jews of other nationalities, as well as Koreans and Americans.Moreover, given the relationship between the Soviet government and Chen Feng's subordinates, the Soviet government would not suspect that Chen Feng would harbor evil intentions and intend to overthrow the Soviet regime.

The most important thing is that the Soviet government does not think that a mere Chinese infantry regiment or an infantry regiment composed of Chinese and foreigners will pose a threat to the Soviet government. Corps killed.

According to the plan formulated by Chen Feng, Yehelina and others, this infantry regiment was not in a hurry to infiltrate after arriving in Tyumen, but purchased industrial equipment and refining equipment for oil extraction from the Soviet government, and let some Jews get off directly in the Tyumen area. , Where to establish a base, and then develop slowly.

According to Chen Feng's prediction, if the funds and labor force can keep up, the Tyumen region will soon form a huge oil industry zone, and it will become a springboard for Chen Feng to send troops to the Soviet Union.

On April 4th, Yehelina took the infantry regiment away, not only the infantry regiment, but also Chen Feng's hope. (To be continued..)
