    While the Northwest People's Army was recuperating, the huge neighboring country from the north once again became willing to form an alliance with the Chinese regime because of its huge defeat.

    This was a life-and-death battle for the Soviet army under the walls of Warsaw, the capital of Poland. It was called by the British Ambassador to Berlin, Lord DeAibelen, "In modern civilization, there is no more important event than the Battle of Warsaw in 1920."  The Soviet army went on a roller coaster ride from defeat to victory to defeat.

    Due to various reasons, the Soviet commander Tukhachevski, known as the "Red Napoleon", was miraculously pulled back by Pi?sudski, the founding father of Poland, when his troops were approaching Warsaw. At that time, Western political commentators  Said this about Pi?sudski: "He held the first domino that fell."

    This is real.  With the increasing consolidation of Soviet power in Russia and the overwhelming offensive of the Red Army, the whole of Europe is like a pile of firewood: German workers have organized and are preparing to launch an uprising like the Russian workers; the British Labor Party announced that British workers will never join Poland as an ally  war; French people protested against their government's support for Poland's war; transport workers in Austria, Czechoslovakia and Germany refused to transport arms to Poland

    Once the Polish army loses, the whole of Europe will immediately burn.  As Churchill said: "Behind the retreating Polish front, the germ cells and organizations of Communism emerged from hiding in every town, ready to welcome the birth of the new Soviet Republic."

    However, all this came to nothing with the final defeat of the Red Army.

    The impact on China is that with the signing of the peace agreement between the Soviet Union and Poland, the Soviet war in Europe has basically ended, giving it the opportunity to shift to peace construction.  In addition, the Soviet army can also calmly deploy troops to the Far East, and there will be a fierce battle with the Japanese army in the future, which is good for China.

    There are also financial benefits.  Because years of war had worsened the economy, Lenin, based on reality, gave up the idea of ??the Soviets using wartime communism policies to directly transition to socialism, and believed that a new economic policy must be implemented.  This policy is actually in line with the land reform measures taken by Zhang Hanqing when he developed Northeast China. It is not known that Zhang Hanqing's intellectual property rights were plagiarized. Of course, there is no such thing as intellectual property rights in this era.

    A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even though the Soviet Union was defeated, it was still stronger than China.  Especially in terms of heavy industry, it is still an insurmountable height for China, but it is still unsatisfactory in light industry and agriculture, especially grain and cotton production. This is also the shortcoming of Soviet Russia throughout its life, Zhang Hanqing clearly knows.

    This is the only project that China can currently complement with. In fact, transactions have been carried out in Northeast China for a long time. However, due to the presence of the Japanese, such transactions are sporadic and intermittent.  If the Soviet-Russian army eventually and inevitably drives the Japanese soldiers out of the Far East, the scale of trade between the two sides can indeed be achieved in the Northeast.

    It¡¯s just that in the northwest, relatively speaking, it¡¯s not as convenient as the northeast. At least there is a convenient railway transportation system there.  In the northwest, apart from simple mountain roads, there are no cultivated mountain roads.  Such transportation conditions made it difficult for Zhang Hanqing to rely on Lanzhou and Xi'an to build his northwest empire.

    But Zhang Hanqing believes that no matter how difficult it is, it is still worth doing.  In terms of geographical location, this place can be regarded as "uncontested". Although it is poor, the people are simple and there is no shortage of labor. It is a blank piece of paper for painting.  Moreover, with the rise of Soviet Russia, the northwest can more easily develop by relying on this behemoth. Historically, Soviet Russia has provided considerable support to the Chinese revolution, although it has its own purposes.

    Therefore, Zhang Hanqing decided to complete the most difficult "Hexi Corridor" railway line as soon as possible under the existing conditions, so that it can reach Xinjiang in the west and Longhai Line in the east at the appropriate time. It will be done sooner or later anyway.  After breaking through the transportation bottlenecks that plagued the economic development of the northwest, we expanded trade with Soviet Russia through Xinjiang in the west and Kulun in the east and strived for support.

    The ideal is not unfulfilling, but the reality is very skinny.

    When he was ambitious and wanted to carry out a big move in the northwest, the situation in Mongolia changed again.

    At the end of August, according to the order of Semyonov, the leader of the Cossacks and the commander of the White Army in Siberia, Baron Wen Ganlun led the Asian Cavalry Division from Uria into northern Mongolia.  They violently attacked the city of Merchants, preparing to cut off the Circum-Baikal Railway and cut off the Far East from the Russian Federation.

    Needless to say, this is the Japanese idea again.  Because of the establishment of the Far East Republic, it was no longer convenient for the Japanese to use their military to maintain their presence here, so they resorted to their usual methods: provoking civil strife and then drawing chestnuts from the fire.  This Semyonov hasn't shown up for a long time, but he is extraordinary when he makes a move.

    The Asian Cavalry Division is a force withA huge team of 10,000 cavalry and more than 200 infantry is definitely a powerful force compared to Mongolia's vast area, sparse population, and few garrison troops.  Taking into account that it also has the powerful firepower of 21 artillery pieces and 37 machine guns, and is a grassland mobile operation that the Cossacks are familiar with, the 26th Cavalry Division guarding Mongolia has blocked the possibility of its attack on Kulun and is sending part of its troops to support the trading city.  However, because the number of People's Army defenders in the city is very small, the White Army will cross the city and enter the Russian border within a short period of time, thus threatening the survival of its main artery in the Far East.

    The Soviet Russian government, which shared the same hatred of the enemy, expressed goodwill to the Zhang Zuolin government: They planned to be led by Shaolin, Assistant Commander-in-Chief of the People's Revolutionary Army of the Far Eastern Republic, with the 5th Group Army of the Revolutionary Army of the Far Eastern People's Army as the commander, as the main force.  In conjunction with the 26th Cavalry Division of the People's Army, a front and rear pincer attack was launched to establish victory in one fell swoop.

    From the strength comparison, it looks good: the Far East Republic has a total of 21,800 infantry, 9,800 cavalry, 13 artillery pieces, especially 30 aircraft, plus the support of the People's Army, it is not weaker than the White Army in terms of numbers and firepower.  Considering that Wen Ganlun's cavalry was not easy to supply logistically, the main army, which was waiting for work, had the convenience of home ground.

    But Zhang Hanqing disagreed, for no other reason than that Borodin, the Soviet government's special envoy, mentioned the possibility that in order to completely annihilate this White Bandit Army, the Far East People's Revolutionary Army would most likely conduct cross-border joint operations to  This prevents them from escaping back to their home base via Manchuria.

    "Mr. Marshal, in view of Mongolia's important role in our country's national security, we hope with great sincerity that you can accept our request for reinforcements to eliminate this bandit army as soon as possible and stabilize the situation in Siberia."

    Borodin¡¯s ¡°proposal¡± hit Zhang Hanqing¡¯s sensitive nerves.

    After finally driving the Soviet Russian forces out of Mongolia, they want to seize the opportunity to get involved. It should be noted that it is easier to ask the gods than to give them away. There is already a Japanese "master" in the Chinese territory, and it cannot add another one.  Back then, even though Mao Zedong was short-tongued, he could justly refuse the temptation to "share" a long-wave radio station with this ally. How could he turn the tables in such a good situation?  Moreover, it is said that it is a "union", but in fact it is preparing to drive the White Army into China and Mongolia, which will harm ourselves.

    "Mr. Borodin, please don't worry. Our power in Mongolia can completely change the current situation. Maintaining the security of Siberia and Mongolia has always been the established decision-making of our autonomous government. This is where we have economic and cultural exchanges with you.  How could we sit back and ignore this important node of exchanges and exchanges between the two countries?"

    Under his guidance, the current situation in the north has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the official history.  The 10 divisions of the Fengjun Army and the 6 divisions of the People's Army are enough to ensure border security, if a large-scale inter-state war does not break out.  At present, as long as the People's Army does not cause trouble, Wu Peifu's direct army will not easily find trouble. The other warlords are not nearby, and the People's Army has enough power to quell the border chaos.

    The 1st Division of the People's Army and the 4th Cavalry Division temporarily deployed a unit to enter Mongolia again. Wu Junsheng, the governor of Heilongjiang Province, also sent his chief of staff Dong Yunsheng to personally lead the first part of the 4th Division of the Fengjun Army to deploy defenses along the border of Mongolia and Heilongjiang Province.  The 26th Cavalry Division, which is mainly composed of turned herdsmen, can completely suppress the power of the White Army.

    Now Zhang Hanqing has been completely trained in his military career and is quite skilled in the training and use of senior commanders.  With Jian Yiqiao, who was familiar with Mongolian geography, as the commander-in-chief, he coordinated various forces to encircle and suppress the White Bandit Army.

    Ji Yiqiao has been the Mongolian security commander for a long time. He established the 26th Cavalry Division by himself. In addition to participating in almost all Mongolian wars, he quickly formulated a set of combat policies.

    He ordered the Tang Ju Armed Cavalry Brigade stationed in Tangnu Ulianghai to advance along the left bank of the Segeleng River towards the Trading City to share the pressure on the Trading City. At the same time, he urgently dispatched a small group of light cavalry troops to support this small but extremely important border town.  town, and at the same time sent electricity to the defenders of Buying and Selling City, asking them to hold on for three days.

    Three days!  Li Du was in trouble.

    He is the supreme commander of Buying City, the garrison envoy of Northern Meng and the commander of the independent garrison battalion. He has 800 infantrymen, 9 machine guns, and three artillery cannons under his command.  In addition, there is also a patrol cavalry company of 100 people and a mortar company under his organization.  Even so, with such a team among the tens of thousands of Asian cavalry divisions, they are like grains of sand entering the sea, not even a single bubble will escape.

    But he is clear about the importance and military significance of the trading city: it is the northern gate of Mongolia Province in China, and it is responsible for the important task of "drawing a clear line" with Soviet Russia.  Before marching into Gansu, the young marshal still left some elite troops behind when the strength was not yet dominant, and he gave detailed instructions.

    "It is of great significance to defend the northern border!"

    Therefore, even when the battle with the Ma Jiajun in the northwest was the fiercest, Tang Juwu was still able to defend Tangnu Ulianghai with a cavalry regiment without being transferred, which accounted for a quarter of the Mongolian garrison at that time; although Li Du  The reinforced infantry battalion has only 800 people, but it has gathered almost all the infantry in Mongolia under its command.  During the year when Zhang Hanqing was campaigning in the northwest, the Mongolian security forces headed by Ji Yiqiao were not idle in the defense work of Maimai City. This was Li Du's hope.

    "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win" is the tradition of the People's Army. The young commander has given strict orders, and abandoning the position will inevitably lead to death.  Since there is no way out, let's give it a try and see if we can save our lives!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The troops guarding Tangnu Ulianghai without being transferred accounted for more than a quarter of the Mongolian garrison at that time.
