The sky was getting slightly brighter, and Hu Lian, who had not slept all night, stood on a high plateau and watched the officers and soldiers escorting groups of prisoners past him all over the mountains and felt a burst of pride in his heart.
This is the old Russian guy who always looks at us with his nostrils in the sky. This is the army that once held a military parade in our Forbidden City. So what, I haven’t defeated you yet.
"Report to the commander, we have captured their leader." Hu Lian took a look and saw that it was a group of soldiers escorting two generals with the rank of major general coming over.
"Are you the commander of your army? I am Major General Padanov, commander of the 23rd Division of the Russian Red Army. This is Major General Khovav, the political commissar of the division. We ask for treatment and Geneva commensurate with our ranks.
The protection of the convention." The teacher, who was embarrassed but still looked arrogant, said in less fluent Chinese.
"Haha, of course, you can get the treatment that matches your military rank." Hu Lian smiled lightly and proudly. He had reason to be proud, because he would become the first Chinese in the past century to completely annihilate the old imperial [] team.
General, his name will be recorded in history.
September 20, 1936, the 25th year of the Republic of China
The Chahar Government of China announced news that shocked the world. The 102nd Division of the 37th Group Army of the Revolutionary Army of the Republic of China was ordered by General Su Tong, Chairman of the Chahar Provincial Government and Commander of the 37th Group Army.
On September 19, 1936, the 23rd Division of the First Group Army of the Russian Far East Military District, which invaded the territory of Mongolia, completely annihilated all 11,000 troops of the 23rd Division of the First Group Army of the Russian Far East Military District, which invaded the territory of Mongolia. Among them, the prisoners included Division Commander Padano.
There are 7,323 Russian soldiers including Major General Hu. Chahar solemnly warned the Russian government not to play with fire. The Chinese people who have stood up are invincible.
"Read the newspaper. Read the newspaper. Chahar's 37th Army completely annihilated the 20th Division that invaded our country from Russia and captured the Major General Division Commander alive."
"Read the newspaper. Read the newspaper. A hundred years of shame will be avenged today."
The next day, major domestic cities such as Nanjing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Guangzhou announced the news that the Thirty-seventh Army had completely annihilated a Russian division. As soon as the news came out, the whole country was excited, and large-scale demonstrations were held in major cities such as Peking and Shanghai.
Celebration parade.
The Nanjing Government rarely released any news at this time. Su Tong knew that they were waiting and watching, and at the same time, this was also a sign that they were not optimistic about his own performance.
Yan'an
Senior leaders of the Social Democratic Party, who had just concluded their Long March, gathered in the cave dwelling for a meeting.
"What on earth is going on with this Su Tong? How could he attack our international friends and do it in a despicable sneak attack? It's so immoral." The speaker was Wang Ming, who had just been sent by Russia.
All the leaders present rolled their eyes. You are moral and not despicable. Then why don't you personally lead the troops to attack Nanjing and Shanghai? In war, everyone uses their own tactics. As long as they can defeat the enemy.
Mao Taizu pressed the cigarette butt into the sole of his shoe and said: "The current situation is still unclear. I think the Russian government will never give up. Stalin will definitely regain this position. The next battle still has to be fought.
Ah. We think it’s better for the party not to express its position for the time being.”
At this time, the Duke of Zhou next to him said, "This Su Tong has risen very quickly, as if he fell from the sky. Our comrades have tried their best and still can't find out what happened to him in March 35
Any news from before, it seems that he has done a good job." If Chief Su were here, he would definitely say proudly, you can't find it.
"Oh." At this time, Mao Taizu also said with interest: "What is Su Tong's political orientation? Is it possible to win him over to our party?"
Duke Zhou said helplessly: "We can't see his political leanings yet, but what is certain is that he is a general with strong patriotism. Now he can be said to have strong troops under his command, and his 300,000 troops are well-equipped.
, well-trained. It is no accident that he was able to defeat the Japanese army first and then the Russian Red Army. It can be said that if he wanted to compete with the Congress Party for the world, he could defeat it within a month with his 300,000 troops.
To Nanjing City."
"Hiss!" All the senior generals of the Social Democratic Party present took a breath.
"Hmph." No matter how powerful he is, what's the use? He still can't get rid of the essence of a warlord. His cruel and exploitative nature of supporting soldiers and self-respect cannot be changed. Wang Ming next to him said disdainfully.
"Okay, now our information is not clear yet, we'd better wait and see how the situation develops." Taizu lit up another cigarette and said leisurely.
The first reaction of the consuls and political axes of various countries who had just received the news was that today is April Fool's Day. Oh God, when did the Chinese army's combat effectiveness become strong enough to completely annihilate the Russian army with the same force? You must know that Russia can
Not Japan. Although Japan is known as the number one military power in Asia, in the eyes of the old imperialists, they look down on Asian armies from the bottom of their hearts. Although Su Tong had annihilated a Japanese army regiment and captured a Japanese army regiment.
flag, but in the eyes of Western countries, this is nothing. But the complete annihilation of an infantry division of the Russian army has a different meaning. This means that the Chinese army can be equal to the armies of other countries.
Therefore, when the true identity of the news was confirmed, the immediate reaction of various countries was that the Far East was about to change. Stalin would never let go of the Chahar local government who dared to rub his beard.
Sure enough, the Russian government issued an announcement on September 22nd. In view of the fact that the Chahar local government sent troops to shamelessly sneak attack the 23rd Infantry Division of the Russian Far East Military Region, which was invited by the Mongolian prince to maintain security in Mongolia. Russia
In order to punish the brutal Chahar local government and the despicable 37th Army, the government decided to send the great Russian Red Army to resolutely eliminate all enemies of great Russia. Now the Russian government gives the evil group headed by Su Tong two choices
: Surrender or be destroyed. The time limit for replying is within forty-eight hours from the date of publication of this announcement.
Chahar Thirty-Seventh Army Headquarters
Su Tong and Jiang Baili sat opposite each other. Jiang Baili looked at the announcement sent by Stalin and sighed softly: "What should come has finally come."
Su Tong smiled softly: "Didn't we already have this mental preparation after we decided to send troops to Mongolia?"
"But there is too little time left for us to develop. If we were given another half a year, our life would be much better after we build those factories."
Su Tong said calmly: "Those old empires will not give any emerging country time to develop. The time we want to develop can only be fought out with our fists. Countless bloody lessons tell us that any extravagant hope for an opponent
Any act of mercy is foolish."
Jiang Baili looked at Su Tong and smiled, "Haha, it seems that you, an old man like me, haven't understood it yet."
Su Daguan pretended to smile lightly. Because he had the strong backing of the moon base, he was not afraid of any force or even country.
Just the second hour after the Russian government issued the ultimatum, Su Tong, chairman of the Chahar Government and commander of the 37th Group Army, responded to the Russian government. Su Tong's answer was simple: You will either see our bodies or you will
We move forward alive,
On the 24th, Chahar issued a message to compatriots across the country, which read as follows: Compatriots all over the country, compatriots of all ethnic groups, just yesterday the Russian government issued an ultimatum to the local government of a sovereign country of ours.
We surrender to the Russian troops within forty-eight hours, otherwise they will destroy us, because we shamelessly attacked their troops who entered our territory to maintain law and order without notifying our government. This kind of deception is ridiculous.
What happened to our sovereign country? When did the security of our country be maintained by the army of another country? Is it true that our country’s army is dead? And after the incident was exposed, our army was asked to report to the police.
They surrendered. Our answer to the rude request of the Russian government is: You will either see our corpses or see us moving forward alive. We will never surrender. My compatriots, Mongolia is in danger now, and Chahar is in danger. Check it out here.
The Harbin Government has issued a recruitment order. All male citizens aged 18 or above and under the age of 35 who live in Chahar Province, except for those with disabilities, must come to the nearby Government within three days.
Register with the local government, and those who fail to do so will be charged with desertion.
"It seems that this Su Tong is going to fight Old Maozi. He has even issued a recruitment order now." Chairman Jiang put the newspaper on the table and said leisurely.
"Chairman, should our government issue an announcement to express our attitude?" Chen Brei asked from the side.
"What do you mean by expressing your stance? Do you think Su Tong can defeat the Russians? Then how can you express your stance if he can't defeat us?" Chairman Chiang shook his head and said.
Chen Bulei sighed secretly, yes, it is impossible to support the Russians. The government is also afraid of being called a Han annihilator by the Chinese people. Support Su Tong. When Su Tong is defeated, the Russians will definitely have to settle the score. It is a dilemma.
Baokang in Chahar, the headquarters of the 101st Division
Sun Liren looked at the new tanks that had just been delivered a month ago, and his eyes could not suppress the light of joy. These tanks were the Chief's imitation of the Type 59 tanks of later generations. As tanks that had served in China for sixty years in later generations, they were naturally
Although its 100mm smoothbore cannon has become obsolete in later generations, it is a symbol of invincibility today.
In order to master this new batch of equipment as quickly as possible, the officers and soldiers of the 101st Division were trained to lose a layer of skin. However, the 59th Style is also famous for being easy to operate, and the training is actually better than the French Somoa S-35.
Tanks should be simple.
Due to the current technology, Su Tong did not use the 59th revision of later generations. He only used the original model, but someone thought it was enough.
"Master, the headquarters ordered us to set off tonight and march immediately to Ulan Batu." At this time, the chief of staff brought the order that Sun Liren had been waiting for.
