I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 358

Shaposhnikov took a deep breath and insisted on his point of view: "Comrade Stalin, I understand your worries. The failure to gain Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces has already put us in an uneasy situation. The loss of Outer Mongolia has made us even more worried. The situation is getting worse, but...we have already fallen into an overall disadvantage and overall passiveness in the Far East. If we continue to fight...the prospects are really not optimistic.

If you really want to continue fighting, I suggest that you give up the attack on Heilongjiang Province, concentrate your forces, and take back Outer Mongolia. At the very least, this will allow us to return to the previous situation!"

Panting heavily, Stalin glared at Shaposhnikov, but soon the anger in his eyes dissipated.

For Shaposhnikov, Stalin still respects him, because Shaposhnikov has a gentle personality, indifferent to fame and fortune, erudite and talented, and has outstanding achievements.

Stalin was not confused, he knew that it was absolutely impossible to maintain his rule with Voroshilov's kind of loyal but no-brained eagle dog. He tried to please him but did not disobey his "capable minister".

Although Stalin was very reluctant to listen to Shaposhnikov's objections, he knew in his heart that he was right.

Budyonny added: "Germany has just announced disarmament. I think it will be difficult for Hitler to launch a real all-out war against us for a while. I believe that Hitler needs time to prepare for war. We can use this time difference to solve the Far East issue!"

After a while, Stalin said sullenly: "Okay, Comrade Molotov, then I will trouble you to contact the Japanese government and express our willingness to cease war with them!"

Molotov hurriedly said: "Okay, Comrade Stalin, I will handle this matter immediately!"

Because the Chinese army sent troops to Outer Mongolia and the battle broke out between the Chinese and Soviet armies, the relationship between China and the Soviet Union suddenly fell to a freezing point, and they were on the verge of war breaking out at any time. The Moscow authorities clearly realized that the Soviet Union could not go to war against China and Japan at the same time. On the one hand The battlefield was in the Far East, which was too far away from Eastern Europe, the core area of ​​the Soviet Union. On the one hand, the Soviet Union was obviously not strong enough to wage war against China and Japan at the same time. Most importantly, the Soviet Union had Germany as a potential enemy besides China and Japan.

If it doesn't work, the Soviet Union will even fall into a third-line battle, which is the Soviet Union's biggest nightmare.

On September 9, the second day after the Chinese army recaptured Outer Mongolia, the Soviet authorities secretly contacted the Japanese government, requesting a "truce between the two sides" and proposing that "the Soviet Union vowed to respect the territorial integrity and inviolability of Manchukuo, and at the same time, Japan vowed to respect the The territorial integrity and inviolability of the Mongolian People's Republic".

The Japanese high-level officials notified the German and Chinese high-level officials of this incident immediately.

The Japanese did this partly out of "sincerity", but not the main reason. The main reason is that the Japanese promised to negotiate a peace and armistice with the Soviet Union, which was of no benefit to Japan.

Japan and the Soviet Union negotiated a unilateral peace and armistice. First of all, Germany and China will be aware of it immediately. Japan’s move is undoubtedly a naked betrayal of the four-nation alliance of Germany, China, Japan and Italy. The gain outweighs the loss; secondly, Japan’s move will anger Germany and China. Next, the Sino-Japanese war is likely to break out again. Japan has already stood on the side of the Soviet Union, and Germany will definitely abandon Japan and support China. The war is China-Germany vs. Japan-Soviet , Japan is obviously not worth it, the Japanese do not believe in the Soviets, and Japan and the Soviet Union have a deep hatred; third, the Japanese are very angry that the Soviets "suddenly fought over with open fire", and now that the situation is not good, they want to retreat?Wouldn't it be teasing the majestic Empire of Japan?Wouldn't they treat the majestic Japanese imperial army as nothing?How can there be such a cheap thing!When Japan is easy to bully?Hit when you want to fight, stop when you want to stop?In addition, after the "test" in the early stage of the war, the "pro-China faction" among the top Japanese leaders has greatly increased. More and more high-level Japanese support "Unite Germany and China, destroy and carve up the Soviet Union", and are even less willing to make peace with the Soviet Union.

"Tsk tsk..." Jiang Weiguo couldn't help laughing when he saw the top-secret telegrams from Berlin and Wuhan, "I suddenly like the Japanese a little bit! I didn't betray me behind my back!" He was actually a little scared, in case If Japan and the Soviet Union really negotiate a peace and armistice, then the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops on the Far East battlefield will all press against the Nanjing Army, and the Japanese will withdraw, leaving China alone to resist the Soviet Union. Nanjing Army, this situation is obviously very unfavorable to the Nanjing Army and China.

After receiving the telegram from Tokyo, Hitler, as the "General Leader" of the Allied Powers, praised the Japanese government for "keeping its word and fulfilling the responsibilities and obligations of the alliance treaty." He said very happily that "after the outbreak of the Far East War, all In the beginning, the Chinese friends did not betray Japan, which proved their sincerity. Now, the Japanese friends did not betray China, which also proved their sincerity. The four-nation alliance is unbreakable."

This war in the Far East was equivalent to a "touchstone" for China and Japan. Facts have proved that both China and Japan have passed the test. Nothing made Hitler happier than this. The alliance he worked so hard proved to be indeed feasible.

According to Jiang Weiguo's proposal and Hitler's request, Japan offered the Soviet Union the conditions for a peace and armistice: first, the Soviet government immediately compensated the Japanese government with [-] million U.S. dollars in war reparations; Disarm the Japanese army and leave "Manchukuo" unarmed; third, the Soviet government ceded the northern part of Sakhalin Island to Japan permanently.

After seeing the conditions put forward by the Japanese side, Stalin almost blew his lungs, because the three Japanese conditions were more stringent than the other, and Stalin could not accept any of them.

In fact, the Japanese knew that their conditions were unacceptable to Stalin. The fundamental purpose of the reason why they opened their mouths so loudly was to reject the Soviet Union’s peace proposal. The army went to fight the Nanjing Army, so they put forward the second request, let the Soviet army disarm, disarm the Soviet army, weaken the strength of the Soviet army, and force the Soviet army to be unable to launch a large-scale attack on the Nanjing army.

However, the Japanese "backup trick" is obviously superfluous, because Stalin didn't want to agree at all.

"These Japanese dwarves! They are so shameless! They are pushing an inch!" Stalin almost overturned his desk, "Contact Blyuchel immediately!" Tell him that he can't really start a full-scale war with Japan, but he decided to severely injure the Japanese and obtain a huge result. At that time, no matter whether he makes persistent efforts or retreats completely, and negotiates a peace and armistice with Japan, the Soviet Union will be able to take it easy and finally free up his hands against Chinese troops in Outer Mongolia.

The commander-in-chief of the Soviet Army in the Far East, Blyuchel, who was at the forefront of the Far East, received a telegram from Stalin with a heartbeat. In the telegram, Stalin asked him how the war was progressing.

Blueher had a hard time saying it. The Soviet army fought very badly on the front line, with huge casualties and heavy losses. They barely pushed to the city of Qiqihar, and only took two valuable cities, Manzhouli and Hulunbuir.

In fact, the reason why the Soviet army took Manzhouli was because Manzhouli was hanging out alone, and it was difficult for the Japanese army to carry out a comprehensive defense, so they abandoned the defense. The Soviet army took Hulunbuir because the Japanese army "deliberately released water". Now, the Soviet army has pushed to Qiqihar, and the Japanese army has begun Seriously and with all their strength, they fought against the Soviet army. Several tentative attacks by the Soviet army were devastated.

More than that, although the Japanese army was only engaged in defensive warfare and did not take the initiative to attack, it was not that the Japanese army feared and avoided war, but that the Japanese army was waiting for follow-up troops.

日军的后续部队包括3个师团和2个旅团，3个师团是日本本土的3个新师团，2个旅团是日军从驻扎在天津的第14师团、驻扎在上海的第3师团里抽调出来的。

Because the Chinese army had proved their "sincerity" and would not join forces with the Soviet army to attack the Japanese army, the high-level Japanese army confidently and boldly transferred troops from Tianjin and Shanghai, preparing to concentrate their superior forces to launch a large-scale battle against the Soviet army.

Blueher is not very clear about this, but he also knows a little information. He has realized that the Soviet army will fall into a very dangerous situation if it continues to drag on, but he dare not tell the truth to Stalin, or dare not tell Stalin told the complete truth, because he almost lost his head at the end of the Great Purge, which made him feel a deep fear of Stalin ever since.

Therefore, after hesitating again and again, Bliuchel replied to Stalin vaguely and covertly: "Our army has advanced to Qiqihar and has carried out several tentative attacks on Qiqihar, and achieved relatively satisfactory results. The lack of timely replenishment of our army's logistics has resulted in the weakness of the frontline troops. If Qiqihar is forcibly attacked, the casualties and losses may be great, and it will be difficult to resist the Japanese counterattack!"

Stalin replied to Blyuchel angrily: "I will ask Voroshilov to strengthen your logistical supplement. You must capture Qiqihar! Under the current circumstances, it is indeed difficult to liberate Heilongjiang Province, even Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province, but You must liberate the western and northern parts of Heilongjiang Province!" He said sternly in the telegram, "This must be done!" Stalin believed that he had already "sympathized" with Blyukher, because he greatly lowered the goal and neither required He captured Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province, and he was not required to capture the entire territory of Heilongjiang Province. He was only required to capture the western and northern parts of Heilongjiang Province. In this way, the success rate must be very high. If he can't even complete such a trivial task, then he is completely Wine bag rice bag.

(Note, during the period of the Republic of China, Heilongjiang Province had an area of ​​more than 40 square kilometers, but its population was very small, less than 400 million. For comparison, the population of Jilin Province in the same year was 800 million, and the population of Liaoning Province was 1600 million.

Most of Heilongjiang Province is covered by mountains and forests. Therefore, as long as the Soviet army takes down a few important cities such as Qiqihar, it can control large tracts of land in the west and north of Heilongjiang Province.

）

Looking at Stalin's new order, Bliuchel not only did not feel relaxed, but felt completely unable to get off the tiger, because he knew well that this was a mission with bleak prospects.

Chapter 431 September Storm (5)

The Soviet army continued to fight the Japanese army, which surprised and delighted the Chinese high-level officials and the Nanjing Army and wished for it. After all, the Soviet Army continued to fight the Japanese army. Both the Chinese high command and the Nanjing Army gained precious time to complete many imminent tasks. matter.

In order to express "thank you" to the Japanese who did not turn to Qin Muchu at the critical moment and who were rare and faithful in their words, Jiang Weiguo ordered the Nanjing Army to send another batch of ordnance and ammunition to the Japanese Kwantung Army. Although it was not huge, it was indeed much more than last time.

Of course, Jiang Weiguo's move was not to "measuring China's material resources and forming a bond with the country", but was of substantial significance. The longer the Japanese army lasted on the Black West battlefield and the harder they fought, it was naturally a good thing for the Nanjing Army.

Although the Nanjing Army and the Japanese Army did not really fight side by side, the enemy is the same after all.

In mid-September, on the Qiqihar battlefield, the Soviet army approaching the city and the Japanese army defending the city and preparing to launch a major counterattack simultaneously increased their troops on a large scale.

In addition to the 57th Army of the Soviet Army, the 56th Army, 57th Army, 58th Army, and 59th Army also entered the Qiqihar battlefield (the 55th Army was basically defeated by the Nanjing Army in the Kulun Battlefield). The Transbaikal Military Region, the Siberian Military Region, the Ural Military Region, and the Central Asian Military Region all received orders to dispatch elite troops, ordnance, and materials from the military regions to reinforce the Far East Front Army. The brigade has a strong military force, with a total strength of more than 60. In addition, the Soviet army once again transported more than 30 tons of artillery shells, more than 55 tons of bombs, more than 3 tons of fuel, more than 1 vehicles, and 2 soldiers to the Far East front line through the Siberian Railway. Many tanks, more than 2000 armored vehicles, more than 400 artillery pieces, more than 600 aircraft, etc.

Stalin planned to "determine the world with the first battle" and severely damaged the main force of the Japanese army in the Northeast, allowing the Soviet army to gain a firm foothold in the west and north of Heilongjiang Province, and then turned around to deal with the Chinese army.

Stalin made such a decision. First, the Japanese refused to negotiate a peace and armistice, which made it difficult for the Soviet army to withdraw from the Japanese-Soviet battlefield. Second, the Chinese army was famous for taking back Outer Mongolia. The Soviet authorities needed time for a "political buffer". Defeat the Japanese army.

The Japanese army also actively prepared for the battle. The 2nd and 4th divisions in Heilongjiang Province all participated in the battle. The 6th Division in Jilin Province only left two brigades, and all other troops participated in the battle. The 9th and 18th Divisions in Liaoning Province also participated in the battle. Only one reinforced brigade was left, and all the rest of the troops participated in the battle. North Korea's 5th Division dispatched a brigade and the division's chariot unit, heavy artillery unit, artillery unit, and cavalry unit to Heilongjiang Province to participate in the war. Both the 14th Division in Shanghai and the 3rd Division in Shanghai dispatched a brigade to participate in the war in Heilongjiang Province. In addition, the 8th Division, 11th Division, and 12th Division rebuilt by the Japanese army in the mainland also participated in the battle. The total strength of the Japanese army exceeded 35 (the Japanese army armed its expatriates in the Northeast on a large scale after the war, and obtained more than [-] reserve soldiers), and another [-] to [-] Puppet Manchukuo troops fought together.

Although the heavy weapons of the Japanese army are not as good as the Soviet army, they are relatively strong. They have 5 tank teams, 7 heavy artillery teams, 14 artillery teams, and more than 800 aircraft. They have the strength to fight the Soviet army.

At the critical moment, the two "friends" of Germany and China did not just shout slogans to cheer for the Japanese, they both gave strong support. With a swipe of a pen, Hitler paid Japan 5000 million U.S. dollars in one-time military expenses, and Jiang Weiguo also generously paid for it. One million US dollars was given to the Japanese army, but Hitler and Jiang Weiguo jointly requested (actually it was Jiang Weiguo's idea, and Hitler quite agreed) that the Japanese army "killed and wounded at least 100 Soviet troops" and sent military observers to "supervise the battle". More than that, Jiang Weiguo More than 100 bf-109 fighter jets of the national army were also specially dispatched to help the Japanese army fight the Soviet army in air combat.

During the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese army suffered enough from the Chinese Air Force's bf-109 fighter jets. All Japanese fighter jets were not the opponent of the bf-109. After the establishment of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, the Japanese wanted to buy the bf-109 and the aircraft from the Germans. Design drawings and production lines were rejected by the Germans (this was strongly requested by Jiang Weiguo). The reason for the Germans was that "bf-109 is a land combat aircraft rather than a naval combat aircraft. The future development of the Japanese army will focus on the navy. In terms of technology, whatever technology Japan needs, Germany will give it all, but it is not at all in the army, and the development of the army is a matter for Chinese friends.”

After receiving more than 100 BF-109s aided by Jiang Weiguo, the morale of the Japanese army was greatly boosted, and the high-level officials were even more excited.

It is worth mentioning that these bf-109s of the national army all painted the blue sky and white sun military emblem into the rising sun military emblem, and disguised themselves as Japanese aircraft to participate in the war.

Jiang Weiguo did this, first, to "help" the Japanese. After all, the harder the Japanese killed the Soviets, the better it was for China. The second was to use actual combat to train the pilots of the national army. More and more people have the ability to self-produce and imitate aircraft, but the training of pilots is more difficult than manufacturing aircraft, especially pilots with actual combat experience are more valuable. The real ace pilots are not trained, but More than 100 bf-109s are equipped with more than 500 young pilots. They will take turns to take turns in actual combat to accelerate their growth.

This Qiqihar battle should not have been fought for the Soviet army, and it even seemed unnecessary. If the Soviet army wanted to withdraw from the Japanese-Soviet war, it only needed to rectify order, switch from offense to defense, and retreat while fighting. It is enough to withdraw from Heilongjiang Province. Even if the Japanese army pursues the Soviet army across the board, it will be difficult to seriously injure the Soviet army (in fact, the Japanese army does not want to really fight the Soviet army to the end. The high-level officials in Tokyo hope that the Soviet army will withdraw from Heilongjiang Province "understanding", and the Japanese army will naturally "only pursue Do not strike"), but Stalin's reason was overwhelmed by anger because of his excessively bad mood, and Blyuchel's military report exaggerated the optimistic situation of the front-line Soviet army, which made Stalin overestimate the front-line battle situation, so he ordered Blyuchel The Japanese army was defeated in one fell swoop in the Battle of Qiqihar; on the other hand, even if the Soviet army withdrew, stopped fighting with the Japanese army, and then turned around to fight the Nanjing army, it is difficult to guarantee whether the Japanese army will strike behind the Soviet army at that time, causing the Soviet army to fall into the trap again. In the unfavorable situation of being flanked by front and back and being attacked by the enemy, the Soviet army launched the Qiqihar battle also out of an idea of ​​"defeating the Japanese army and the Nanjing army one by one", which made the outbreak of this battle have a certain or greater inevitability. .

At the end of September, the "Japanese-Soviet Qiqihar Battle" broke out with a military force of up to 100 million.

On the black land in Northeast China, the Japanese and the Soviets are engaged in a life-and-death battle, where the mountains and rivers change color. For the Chinese, this battle is a shame. The puppet Mongolian army assisted in the war, and the Japanese army had the puppet Manchukuo army assisted in the war. As the real owner of this land, he was divided into two factions to fight with the two robbers who seized this land. It is indeed a national shame. The most special thing is that the Japanese air force There are also Chinese who participated in the battle as the "fifth party" in the army, that is, the pilots of the Chinese Air Force. Although they assisted the Japanese army in combat like the Puppet Manchukuo Army, they did not serve the Japanese army like the Puppet Manchukuo Army, but were "friendly troops" of the Japanese army. ".

"As a historian of China, I really don't know how to comment on the fact that this war took place on Chinese soil, both sides involved in the war were foreigners, and although Chinese participated, they were not the main role or even played a shameful supporting role. There were real Chinese soldiers disguised as Japanese soldiers who participated in the battle and undertook the heroic sacrifice mission of the Qiqihar Battle!" This is the emotion of Guo Tingyi, a famous Chinese historian of modern China.

Japan and Su are in full swing, and the Chinese army is also very busy.

The Nanjing army is very busy. Although they don't fight, they are in a state of fighting at any time.

The Wuhan High Command and the senior officials of the Nanjing Army could already see that the intention of the Soviet Army was to defeat the Japanese Army and then turn back to attack the Chinese Army.

This war between Japan and the Soviet Union had nothing more than three outcomes: first, the Soviet army defeated the Japanese army and turned back to fight the Nanjing army; army is possible, but it is very difficult to completely annihilate the Soviet army), and the third is that the Japanese and Soviet troops suffered from both losses.

The Nanjing army will basically take action in the three outcomes. The first one will definitely attack. However, it is too passive to really wait for the Soviet army to defeat the Japanese army before attacking itself, so the Nanjing army will be decisive when the Japanese army cannot hold on. Take action and cooperate with the Japanese army to attack the Soviet army. The second is naturally a good thing. The Soviet army is defeated by the Japanese army. However, if the Japanese army defeats the Soviet army, it will definitely suffer heavy losses. Su snipe and clam competed, and the Nanjing army and fisherman benefited. The third is the best result. The Japanese army and the Soviet army were exhausted, and the Nanjing army was more able to "make up" the Soviet army in a leisurely manner. It is also a good thing that the strength of the Japanese army has been greatly reduced at once.

After Outer Mongolia was recovered (outer Mongolian separatist forces and Outer Mongolian Puppet Army still have remnants, and the Soviet Army was on the battlefield in Heilongjiang Province), the large forces of the Nanjing Army entered Outer Mongolia calmly. The battalion as a unit roamed on the northern border of Outer Mongolia and monitored the Soviet army on the opposite side of the border. The 77th Division and the 74th Division went to the easternmost part of Outer Mongolia, which is between the west of Heilongjiang Province and the northeast of Chahar Province. The 88th Division and the 99th Division are ready to participate in the Japanese-Soviet War at any time (the Japanese do not allow the Nanjing Army to enter the three northeastern provinces). At the same time, the 88st Division and the 99th Division also entered Outer Mongolia. The logistics and transportation work of the main division, and at the same time perform the tasks of appeasing the people of Outer Mongolia, building roads, and building airports.

Because the Japanese bought precious time for the Nanjing Army, the work and combat readiness of the Nanjing Army to "digest" Outer Mongolia can be carried out in an orderly manner.

The total area of ​​Outer Mongolia is as high as 156 million square kilometers, but the total population is only 80 million. It is not very difficult to manage such a large place and such a small population. It is not very difficult to develop the traditional and inherent animal husbandry in Outer Mongolia (Outer Mongolia There is very little arable land, which is not suitable for the development of agriculture), and then develop the mining industry, metallurgy industry, initial modern industry, commerce, etc. in Outer Mongolia (Outer Mongolia is very rich in resources, about 20 billion tons of iron ore, more than 20 billion tons of copper, oil More than 11 billion tons, coal mines about 3000 billion tons, etc.), build more roads, build schools, build hospitals, build factories, set up banks, increase trade between the mainland and Outer Mongolia, etc., as long as investment is made and macro-control is proper, it is enough Let the people of Outer Mongolia live a happy life with ample food and clothing in a short period of time. After all, there are too few people, but the development foundation and development conditions are very good.

The only disadvantage is that Outer Mongolia is located on the border of China, and beyond the border is the polar bear that has been coveting Outer Mongolia for hundreds of years.

In the development and management of Outer Mongolia, Jiang Weiguo can directly learn from his predecessor Xu Shuzheng. Xu Shuzheng was very successful in Outer Mongolia. He believes that the most urgent task of governing Outer Mongolia is to strengthen the centripetal force and sense of identity of the officials and people in Outer Mongolia, so he opened a school in Outer Mongolia. , teaching Chinese and Mongolian Chinese history, strengthening Chinese cultural education, "education first", economically, he advocated expanding the traditional animal husbandry in Outer Mongolia, providing beef and mutton for the whole country, and providing military horses for the army. He also developed The reclamation business, the establishment of various businesses such as industrial, commercial, salt, iron, forest and mines, the encouragement of Outer Mongolia herdsmen to settle down, the establishment of newspapers, the investigation of minerals, the preparation of railways, and the construction of hospitals have made the modernization of Outer Mongolia unfold in an orderly manner. It is worth mentioning that , he also ordered the troops stationed in Outer Mongolia to introduce Tianjin Chinese cabbage, and the result was very successful. Since then, Chinese cabbage has become a home-cooked dish for the residents of Outer Mongolia. He himself was also "in Mobei, with his heart in Peiping". With his departure, his efforts came to an abrupt end.

Xu Shuzheng's governance of Outer Mongolia was successful overall, but there were still some shortcomings, such as reclamation. Outer Mongolia is basically a grassland, suitable for grazing. If the grassland is forcibly turned into farmland, although the agricultural production will be increased for a while, the actual Putting the cart before the horse, because this move has greatly damaged the natural ecology, and the grassland that has been forcibly turned into farmland will soon turn into a desert, and eventually a desert, and this move has also harmed the interests of the vast number of herdsmen in Outer Mongolia. In addition, Xu Shuzheng was in Outer Mongolia During the period, the attitude towards local princes, nobles, lamas and monks was too rough and tough, regardless of their traditional religious and cultural customs, and comprehensively implemented the New Deal reform, which caused complaints from the upper circles of Outer Mongolia (in later generations of Mongolia, due to political and historical reasons, Xu Shuzheng He has become a well-known villain and invader in Mongolia. When Mongolian writers wrote about Xu Shuzheng, they basically portrayed him as an evil and brutal leader of foreign invaders).

It's just that Jiang Weiguo's current governance of Outer Mongolia is not as strenuous as Xu Shuzheng. Of course he will not engage in reclamation, because that is wrong. Outer Mongolia is not suitable for the development of agriculture. Jiang Weiguo just let nature take its course and develop animal husbandry. The upper group", they used to be the source of resistance for Xu Shuzheng, but now they will not become the source of resistance for Jiang Weiguo, because they are almost dead.

Jiang Weiguo really wants to "thank you" Qiaobashan. When he ruled Outer Mongolia, he slaughtered all the princes, nobles, lamas and monks in Outer Mongolia. Even the living Buddhas in Outer Mongolia were poisoned by him. Therefore, there is no traditional "princes and aristocrats" in Outer Mongolia at this time. The upper group in Outer Mongolia at this time is the Qiaobashan gang. Qiaobashan "cleaned up" Outer Mongolia. Then, Outer Mongolia in the hands of Jiang Weiguo is a "very clean place", basically there are no upper-level groups or traditional forces.

When Jiang Weiguo governed such a "very clean place", he was naturally refreshed and flexed his muscles, because all ghosts and monsters had been eradicated.

In addition to systematically remediating and carrying forward Xu Shuzheng’s measures and experience in the past, Jiang Weiguo, who already has quite a lot of administrative experience, knows which places to strengthen in order to truly make Outer Mongolia a territory that will never be divided by China. One is permanent garrison, The second is to establish an effective administrative organization, the third is to promote education, and the fourth is to benefit the people of Outer Mongolia, develop the economy of Outer Mongolia well, benefit the people, win the trust of the people, and make Outer Mongolia and the interior mutually beneficial and win-win and make progress together. The fifth is assimilation.

Outer Mongolia is so big, but its population is so small. Obviously, more people can live here, and they are Han people.

Jiang Weiguo plans to spend three years immigrating 100 million people (Han people) from the interior to Outer Mongolia, so that the two ethnic groups in Outer Mongolia will become one family. At the same time, the number of residents in Outer Mongolia will increase, which will also promote the development of Outer Mongolia. and progress, after all, people are the first factor in social development.

When the 77th Division and other Nanjing Army troops successfully succeeded in Outer Mongolia, the 17th Division was also invincible on the northwest journey.

The 17th Division moved to Xi'an as early as mid-August. Hu Zongnan, the commander of the 8th Army Group in southern Shaanxi, did not dare to slack off, and personally greeted the army commander Chen Mingren and division commander Feng Zhian who led the 34th Division to Xi'an.

At the welcome banquet, Chen Mingren made a special toast to Hu Zongnan: "Hu Junzuo, this time our ministry was ordered by the chairman to go on an expedition to the Western Regions. Difficulty, needless to say.

It can be said that Hu Junzuo is the pillar behind us!In this battle, the key to success or failure does not lie with us, but with you! "

Hu Zongnan said with emotion: "Ziliang, you don't need to say these things, I understand it in my heart.

At that time, Zuo Gong (Zuo Zongtang) led [-] soldiers from Huxiang to recover Xinjiang, and carried the coffin to the west. The journey was treacherous and treacherous, which made me and others shudder when reading history books. How dare you not help with awe?What's more, you and I are both party-state soldiers, and these are all matters of duty, so Ziliang doesn't need to say much! "

Chen Mingren was moved and said: "So, Hu Junzuo is willing to help our department?"

Hu Zongnan nodded again and again: "Of course! Of course!"

Chen Mingren also nodded, and then changed the topic: "Well, please Hu Junzuo, please transfer half of your heavy weapons, ammunition, and most of the cars and pack animals to our department!"

Hu Zongnan, who was drinking, almost choked on the drink, and then he realized that he had been fooled by Chen Mingren.

In Hu Zongnan's extreme reluctance and extreme annoyance, the 17th Division unceremoniously gave the 34th Army a "clearance" and took away half of the 34th Army's heavy weapons and ammunition, as well as Almost all the cars and pack animals were collected, and by the way, several arsenals of the 34th Army in Xi'an were collected.

Feng Shengfa was a little uneasy about this, and he asked Chen Mingren: "Junzuo, it's not good for us to do this...?"

"What's wrong?" Chen Mingren snorted coldly, "This so-called 'Tianzi disciple No. Yes, it is only right and proper, but also make the best use of everything!"

Feng Shengfa said with difficulty: "But... Hu Zongnan is the chairman's favorite student and confidant after all. If we do this, he will definitely report us behind our backs!"

Chen Mingren laughed: "My Master Feng, who is our backstage? It's the second son! Can Hu Zongnan compare to the second son in the chairman's mind? Besides, we won Xinjiang, and the chairman of the committee, 'Longyan Dayue', rewarded us It’s too late, how could we be punished?” He put away his smile and said seriously, “The more weapons and supplies the better, we are doing this to better complete the task of recovering the lost land, and to save the brothers from bleeding, as long as we can do this Two o'clock, even if I get punished, it's worth it!"

The 17th Division will pass through Henan on the way from Shanxi to Shaanxi, pass through the territory of Jiang Dingwen and Tang Enbo, and finally enter the territory of Hu Zongnan.

When Chen Mingren saw Jiang Dingwen, Tang Enbo, and Hu Zongnan in turn, he deliberately set their words. When he arrived in Xi'an, he first "robbed" Hu Zongnan of a large number of ordnance supplies, and at the same time ordered Chen Anbao, the deputy commander of the logistics and follow-up troops, to tell Jiang Dingwen He and Tang Enbo also "struck", seized their words, and forcibly demanded a large amount of ordnance and supplies.
