Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the east bank of the Ob River in Northwest Asia was returned to China, the two countries used the river as a boundary. Although the two sides faced off with millions of soldiers, they were generally in peace.  After Li Zongren and Tang Jiyu retired, the military regions were abolished. Wan Changyuan, the former commander of the Barnaul Military Region, was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Asia Theater, and Menhe, the former military commander of the Chaoyang Military Region, was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief.  The organizational structure of the remaining group armies remains largely unchanged.  The defensive strength of the border guards has been further strengthened.

    The Ob River develops in the Altai Mountains, winds thousands of miles from south to north, and flows into the Kara Sea.  The middle and lower reaches are plain rivers with a relatively wide surface and many Jiangxin Islands in the river, each of which is occupied by the two countries.  The river freezes for 8 months every year. When it is extremely cold, vehicles can be driven on the ice.  Therefore, on the larger Jiangxin Island, both sides built fortifications and outposts for tight defense, and sent patrol teams to patrol.

    That night, Second Lieutenant Cao Yuanzhi at the Wu Ke Island post on the Chinese side heard fierce gunfire from the other side again.  He went up to the watchtower and looked carefully at the other side with a high-powered telescope.  I saw many figures running towards this side in the white night, with people chasing after them and firing guns constantly.  He frowned and said: "It's another 'Eastern Runner'. This is already the eighth time, and we're not letting anyone sleep!" He immediately ordered: "The whole platoon enters level one combat readiness! Before the 1st squad  Out of the center line of the boundary river; Squad 2 patrols north and south; Squad 3 guards the position." A squad leader asked: "What if those people come running over?" Cao Yuanzhi said: "There are people chasing them from behind, and those being chased cannot cross the boundary.  .Both sides are watching with their eyes open. According to the old rules, everyone should block it back!"

    On the ice in the center of the river, five or six people stumbled over. A squad leader led people to stop them. One of them spoke breathlessly.  The deputy squad leader who understood Rakshasa listened carefully and said to the squad leader: "He said his name is Vasilyev and he is a colonel. Several of them are political prisoners who escaped. The old man's name is Zorev and he is a marshal.  "The squad leader said: "No matter who they are, it is their own business. They are not allowed to cross the line." Several people were anxious, and Vasilyev said: "They will catch up soon. If we return  If you go, you will be shot immediately! For the sake of God, save us!" The squad leader was also anxious and said loudly: "There are so many people running over there this winter, and the shelter can no longer accommodate them.  , and built a lot of wooden houses. But you guys didn¡¯t choose a remote place to stow away. This is the most heavily guarded area where the two armies are facing each other. At this moment, both sides are pointing their guns at each other. As soon as you come here, you will  If it causes an international dispute, can I let you come over?" Vasilyev gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I won't embarrass you, just a few of us will go back! But please leave the marshal and his wife behind." A squad leader went over to look,  I saw two old men in shabby coats huddled on the snow, their eyes full of fear and despair.  The first squad leader felt soft and said to himself: "There are so many people coming here these days. This old couple is so pitiful." He said to the two soldiers: "Hurry and help them to the outpost." He looked at them.  A pair of old men staggered away, and the four of them paid a standard military salute to the squad leader and the others, turned around and staggered away on the same road with heavy steps The squad leader knew that as soon as they returned, their lives would end.  He really had nothing to say, and with complicated emotions saluted their backs with a military salute.

    On the other side of the central line of the river, I saw the chasing Rakshasa army yelling something at the returning stowaways. Then I heard a burst of submachine gun fire, and the four people fell on the ice.  The first squad leader sighed and planned to withdraw his team back to the camp, but saw an officer running over there and yelling at them.  The deputy squad leader said: "He is saying that there are two people who have not returned." The squad leader said: "Tell them not to yell, just say there is no more." The deputy squad leader went over and said it, but they refused and said they were coming to search.  The squad leader said angrily: "This is my Chinese territory. Let's see who of them dares to step over here! The whole squad lies down and prepare to fight!" The officer over there waved his hand, and a group of Rakshasa soldiers ran towards us. They  As soon as his feet crossed the boundary, gunshots rang out here.

    Liu Pinyi, the leader of the 358th Border Defense Regiment, heard the report late at night and was very angry. He instructed: "The old rule is to intercept them with firepower and drive them across the border. The soldiers should not cross the border." After a while, another report came: "The artillery of the Rakshasa Army"  Bomb my Uke Island outpost!" Commander Liu heard this and thought that was a big deal!  Immediately, the artillery battalion was ordered to fight back; the armored battalion quickly dispatched to block the river in the defense area, and the troops were attacked by me!  He sent the regiment chief of staff to quickly rush to the Uk post to find out what exactly caused the conflict.

    The battle in Uk was going on fiercely. The Rakshasa Army seemed to be trying to destroy the Uk post before giving up, with endless rounds of heavy shelling.  The artillery here immediately returned fire, and tanks and armored vehicles were also dispatched.  The squad leader and the others jumped on the armored vehicle and attacked at once.  Cao Yuanzhi was observing in the bunker and thought to himself: "Why is this?" But the old man who had just been rescued said: "They are doing it for me. I can't bear to let so many people be killed. Let me go back.  "Cao Yuanzhi said: "The four who went back have been shot to death by your people with submachine guns.Letting you go back now will mean death. You can't save anyone, so just stay. The bunker of my outpost is very strong and cannot be blown down.  The old man shed tears in his eyes and said: "They are my good subordinates, they died for me!" Cao Yuanzhi said: "But I don't understand, there are more than ten thousand people who have smuggled over in this area in the past few months.  People, their pursuit rarely crosses the border, and they retreat as soon as they are beaten. Why would they go to war for you?" The old man pondered for a moment and said: "I want to see your Commander Wan, he knows me." Cao Yuanzhi said: "Wan  The commander is now the commander-in-chief of the theater. Even I have never seen a general in an army of millions. How can I meet you if you ask me to?" The old man said anxiously: "You just need to report it to your superiors."

    The war ignited at the Uke Island post quickly spread from the north and south along the river. Zou Yuguo, commander of the 120th Border Defense Division, received an order from Lieutenant General Chen Tailang, chief of staff of the headquarters, from Barnaul: "Use the opportunity to cross the border and teach you a lesson."  Them!" Zou Yuguo is Zou Shengyou's nephew and a typical militant. He ordered each of his five border defense regiments to send out a battalion, as well as the cavalry regiment, to immediately attack outside the country!  At this time, three divisions from the 2nd Army of Sun Dazhu's 40th Group Army, two brigades from Xiao Ming's 45th Armored Corps, and 15 attack helicopters from the Army Aviation Regiment rumbled over.  Hu Erdan, commander of the 2nd Army, said to Zou Yuguo: "Brother, we are just about to charge into the battle and beat him! The sky is covered by the 321st Division of Zakong. You just follow behind and just grab things."

    There was a lively fight on both sides of the river 100 kilometers up and down Uk Island, and short-range missiles from both sides also began to be launched, but only in the combat area.  The 200 45-ton main battle tanks of the Chinese Army easily drove across the ice-covered river and stormed towards the other bank.  By dawn, the cities of Mansisk and Serkin on the west bank of the Ob River were occupied by the Chinese army, and the follow-up troops were still advancing in depth.

    Chen Jiayong flew to Chaoyang City and was greeted by Wan Changyuan, Menhe, Xiao Ming, Sun Dazhu, Han Chaoyang, Yang Zhirong and others.  Wan Changyuan said: "General Counselor, Old Chief, according to your instructions, our troops have already fought." Chen Jiayong said: "That's good, I'm still flying in the sky, and there's another fight here. Rakshasa Kingdom  If you dare to invade our territory, you are simply bullying others! You will be beaten hard!" Menhe said: "Can we send more troops there?" Chen Jiayong said: "Of course we will, at least those from the oil fields in the Tyumen area  Oil and a large amount of coal and wood can be used as military expenses for this time. Chaoyang and Zhirong, send all the transportation capacity of your two administrative regions to get all the useful things over there, and then blow up all the facilities for me! I  We want to make this border area lonely and quiet for 10 years!" Someone came to report: "The 358th Regiment of the Border Guards came to report, saying that there is an old Rakshasa who wants to see Commander Wan in person, and the helicopter is coming here." Chen Jiayong said: "Little  Wan, go and see who he is."

    In the Chaoyang City Garrison Headquarters, Commander Wan met the old man who was a Rakshasa. He seemed familiar and said: "You are" The old man said: "Sir Wan, I am Zolev!" Wan Changyuan was shocked.  Said: "Weren't you made a marshal by the Rakshasa Kingdom after the war, and you also entered the core level of the Politburo. You are a great hero of the Rakshasa Kingdom, why do you look like this?" Zorev said: "Oh, a hero  Almost all of them were killed by Stanin. I was just a marshal who worked diligently on logistics. I thought I could escape, but I was also caught. The charge was that I should not have used gold to purchase arms and supplies from China." Wan  Changyuan said: "Back then, you used gold to buy things. It was a normal transaction. How many planes, tanks, cannons and flour did you get from our place? Later, you used ore, firewood, coal and even scrap steel.  Are you here to exchange for it? You are the real anti-fascist hero in World War II. Alas! There is an old saying in China, that is, the bird is gone and the bow is hidden. You should have applied for retirement long ago." Zorev said: "Retired.  Hugh was not spared. Fortunately, I was not executed immediately. I was escorted to the Kirtler Concentration Camp with my wife to dig coal. I met my former adjutant Vasilyev, who was also doing labor camp in the mine. When he was digging coal underground  We found an abandoned and sealed ventilation shaft. A dozen of us broke open the wall and escaped. We walked in the wind and snow for 5 days and 5 nights. Three people died on the way. We were captured by the border guards while crossing the river.  I found that several more people were killed, and only 6 people crossed the border, but they were blocked by your people again. In the end, only my wife Afueva and I came over." Wan Changyuan said: "I already know,  In order to protect you and your wife, those four people turned around and went back and were shot dead. In order to blow up you and your wife, the Rakshasa Army did not hesitate to provoke a dispute between the two countries and fired at our Uk post. The fighting was very lively at the moment.  For your sake, did you really make Stanin so angry?" Zorev said seriously: "Sir Wan, I want to see your highest officer."

    Wan Changyuan knew that Zolev still had something to say, so he took him to Chen Jiayong's office.  Chen Jiayong said: "Mr. Zorev, I am Chen Jiayong. I have seen and heard the conversation between you and Chief Wan just now on the surveillance video. Do you have anything else to say?" Zorev said excitedly: "Chen Jiayong  Commander-in-Chief, I have heard about your reputation for a long time and finally meet you. If I have provided you with top secret information, what do you do??Me?  "Chen Jiayong said: "Mr. Zolev, now I can first guarantee the safety of you and your wife, and secondly, I can guarantee your normal life during the asylum.  If you don't tell me, I won't ask you anything else.  He signaled his accompanying staff officer (Chen Long) to turn on the electronic screen and explained: "The border conflict was caused by the Rakshasa Army's unreasonable provocation against our Uk post. The Uk post was hit by 32 bullets, and five of our troops were killed.  Seven people were injured, but the real reason was two old Rakshasa people who rescued Dongben out of humanitarianism.  The conflict has further expanded, and the battle has been going on for 18 hours. In order to punish the Rakshasa Army for its unreasonable invasion, our leading force, the 269th Division of the 45th Armored Corps, has penetrated 190 kilometers into the Rakshasa hinterland"

    Chen Jiayong said to Zorev: "This is the real dynamics of our army that you see in the video that is updated every 5 minutes. I want Staning to be punished for his impulse. Come on, let Mr. Zorev and him  Madam, go have a good rest and tidy up!" Chen Long gave Chen Jiayong a small glass of wine and said: "Abba, I want to go to the front line." Chen Jiayong took a sip of wine and said: "My former staff officers Liu Yongming and He Qishi never dared to ask me  I made a request. Now I am no longer the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, but a special envoy sent by the government to deal with the northwest border issue. You are just a college student accompanying you for graduation internship. Why don't you just follow me and learn how to deal with the problem in practice?  Why are you on the front line?" Chen Long retreated unhappily.

    After a while, a report came from the front: "Our forward 269th Division encountered a strong blockage from the three Rakshasa Army armies in the Tyumen area!" Chen Jiayong said: "This is another big battle. Staning will not accept it unless he is beaten."  , I think that this time we are not going to occupy the land, but to beat up the Rakshasa, mainly to annihilate their military strength!" Wanchang Yuandao: "Our 45th Armored Group Army, 40th Group Army, and 5th Group Army in the Northwest Asia Theater  , there are also the newly established 3rd and 8th Special Divisions, the 89th Air Force Division, and the 321st Division. Their strength has reached 2.5 million. I also advocate a big fight! The battlefield is in the Qiu Ming area of ????the Rakshasa Kingdom." Chen Jiayong said:  "I agree. You guys should quickly formulate a battle plan, and I will connect with the Ministry of National Defense."

    Unexpectedly, Wu Erbin and Lin Biao flew over urgently. Chen Jiayong said: "Is this just a local war? I am handling it. What are you doing here?" Wu Erbin said: "Marshal Lin and I are here to serve Chairman Feng and Wang  I came here on the orders of the general manager, I'm afraid you'll be overworked." Chen Jiayong said: "You are all on the job and have a lot to do, so you don't need to spend time here. Once I retire, I will have a lot of time to spend with Staning." Wu Erbin said: "  Godfather, don¡¯t forget that we are now the chairman of the Military Commission, and Marshal Lin is the second vice-chairman. Commanding the war is our job. The matter has become so big, why can¡¯t we come? I remember when I led the White Tiger Regiment  As a pioneer on the Korean Peninsula, you have also fought hard and vicious battles. Don't worry." Lin Biao said: "Old chief, we are responsible for the specific command of the war. You just continue to be a good adviser." Chen Jiayong said angrily: "Okay,  Okay, I can't defeat you. Just obey the orders and follow the instructions, and Long'er will be left to you. I'll go take care of some chores, Yan'er, quickly bring uncle a cup of tea."
