Chapter 185 Xinjiang
On August 1939, 8, the Soviet Union launched a general offensive against the Japanese army at Nomonhan.
At the same time, the Eighth Route Army, upon receiving the news, immediately held a meeting.
"Everyone, the time has come. The Soviet Union's attention has been drawn to the Japanese Kwantung Army."
The elegant man said excitedly: "Now it's time to deal with Shin Se-jae."
In fact, they could have dealt with him as early as August, when Shen Shicai sent Ma Hongkui to Tibet.
But because of the relationship with the Soviet Union, I never found a suitable opportunity. Now the opportunity has finally come.
"Opportunities are rare and will never come back. Let's do it!"
In the conference room, the man with glasses said excitedly.
"it is good!"
The majestic man waved his hand and said, "Send a telegram to the commander-in-chief and tell him that it's time to start."
"Yes."
Xinjiang, Hami, Western Route Army, temporary headquarters.
"Commander-in-chief, a call came from Yan'an. The time has come."
The chief of staff took the telegram and read it to the domineering man in front of him.
"Very good, send a message to Liu Zhen and ask him to take action."
The commander-in-chief said after a moment as he walked towards the hanging map.
"Order the synthetic division to move out immediately to support Liu Zhen."
"The First Infantry Division will go to Aksai Chin and Altun Mountain to guard against the Kuomintang and the Ma family army in Qinghai."
"At the same time, have the delta-wing glider group fly here and stand by."
"Yes."
Chief of Staff Zhang put down the notebook containing the orders, saluted, walked towards the signalman, and prepared to send a message.
Dihua.
"Where's the evidence? Show it to me!"
Shen Shicai said excitedly to the brothers who were kowtowing in front of him, Commander Jiang.
A day ago, he received a message from Commander Jiang, saying that he had found out that the president of Xinjiang College, President Du, had been involved in corruption and bribery. This made him very excited.
You should know that President Du has repeatedly criticized the various policies he implemented in Xinjiang in his speeches at rallies and articles in publications, which made him sick.
Now he has finally caught me, and I feel happy just thinking about it.
"Give it to me now!"
Seeing that Commander Jiang did not move, Shen Shicai could not help but urge him.
"Feel sorry."
Commander Jiang spoke.
"What are you holding?"
Suddenly, Nobuyoshi reacted and immediately stood up to call the soldiers outside to come in.
With a creak, the door opened and the security commander Liu walked in with more than a dozen soldiers.
"Nobuyoshi, your end has come."
Shen Shicai looked at the gate blocked by the soldiers, stunned for a moment, looked at Commander Jiang and asked, "Why?"
"We are brothers who have kowtowed to each other and sworn brotherhood!"
"brother?"
Commander Jiang smiled weakly: "You have changed, do you know that?"
"How have I changed?"
Shinjicai frowned, feeling a little confused.
"You haven't changed yet?"
Commander Jiang said excitedly: "Look at what you have done since you took charge of Xinjiang?"
"You eliminated dissidents, imposed heavy taxes, and more importantly, you killed so many soldiers of the Northeast Volunteer Army."
"And there are members of the Eighth Route Army."
Liu Zilii on the side added.
"Yes, you were Ma Zhansan's man at first, I should have thought of it earlier!"
Shin Shicai was about to collapse. If you had told me earlier that you were a righteous person, I would have dealt with you earlier!
"Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it in prison!"
Liu Zilii waved his hand, and two soldiers put down their guns and stepped forward to tie up Shen Shicai.
"Commander Jiang, go to bed early. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow!"
After saying that, Liu Zilii took Sheng Shicai away and left.
After leaving the room, Nobuyoshi discovered that all the people he brought with him had been dealt with.
In the yard, soldiers were cleaning up the bodies in an orderly manner.
There were soldiers from the 1st Cavalry Division standing guard outside the yard.
"It seems like this is a conspiracy against me!"
Shinji thought with a wry smile.
..........
The next day, at daybreak, Commander Jiang, with men from the First Cavalry Division, began to capture Shen Shicai's trusted lackeys.
At the same time, the garrisons in Turpan, Karamay and Urumqi began to impose martial law in the city.
The Eighth Route Army's Xinjiang Office, which had been prepared for a long time, issued an order.
The Eighth Route Army officials in various places turned from covert to open, and with the cooperation of the Security Command, began to maintain stability in Xinjiang.
Liu Zhen led the armored brigade and began to march towards Karamay to guard against the Soviet army.
In order to eliminate dissidents, Sheng Shicai once asked the Soviet Union for help.
At Shen Shicai's request, the Soviet army raided Yining, Suiding and Huiyuan in Xinjiang and helped Shen Shicai defeat the enemy.
But after the incident, the Soviet army did not withdraw, but stayed there.
When Liu Zhen arrived in Karamay, the Soviet army, feeling threatened, immediately found Liu Zhen.
"Brigade Commander Liu, we have no intention of intervening in the conflict between you and Sheng Shicai."
Andrei, the commander of the 8th Russian Cavalry Regiment in Xinjiang, said: "So there is no need for you to act so aggressive."
"Haha, I, Liu Zhen, am a rough man and don't understand those twists and turns. The commander asked me to come, so I came."
Liu Zhen said carelessly: "And your so-called Red Eighth Regiment is not simple. It is called a regiment, but it is actually a brigade."
"Cavalry, infantry, motorbikes, artillery battalions, tank companies, military aircraft, a total force of more than 3,000 people, how can we be assured?"
"this....."
Andre was also surprised. He didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army knew so much about their situation. He immediately gave up the idea of playing it safe and spoke frankly.
"Brigade Commander Liu, let me be frank. We are here and will not take any other actions except to protect the interests of the Soviet Union in Xinjiang."
"And our existence also takes advantage of our cooperation, doesn't it?"
"You're right."
Liu Zhen nodded: "So I came here just for normal border defense."
"Once the Xinjiang issue is over, maybe we'll have to defend the border together!"
"Okay, then I'll wait and see."
Andre breathed a sigh of relief, at least the Eighth Route Army would not attack them.
9 month 3 day.
The Japanese Imperial Headquarters forced the Kwantung Army to stop its combat operations and replaced its commander and chief of staff.
A few days later, the Japanese ambassador negotiated a ceasefire with the Soviet Union.
On September 9, the Nomonhan Armistice Agreement was signed.
After the war, the Soviet Union turned its attention to Xinjiang again.
It was only then that they suddenly realized that Sheng Shicai had stepped down and the Eighth Route Army had come to power.
"Haha, they really picked a good time!"
In the Winter Palace, the loving father joked while holding his pipe.
"Are we just going to watch the Eighth Route Army take over Xinjiang?"
A Politburo member nearby asked.
"if not?"
The loving father glanced at the committee member and said, "Don't forget, the Eighth Route Army is one of ours!"
Hearing this, the committee member broke out in a cold sweat and quickly apologized, "Sorry, I was rude."
"fine."
The loving father said kindly, "Be careful next time."
