    To the west of Alashankou, Druzhba is a small city in the Soviet Kazakh region adjacent to China.  Kazakhstan was a khanate until 1847. The Kingdom of Kazakhstan, composed of Kazakhs, had a long history of 377 years until it was annexed by Tsarist Russia in 1847.

    After the revolution in Russia, Kazakhstan formed a Soviet government and became a member of the Soviet Union.  The Soviet Central Committee has five divisions of infantry units and a cavalry corps stationed in the Kazakh region, including one division in the Druzhba area alone, and has built solid fortifications. Especially after the Chinese government declared war on the Soviets last year, the Soviet Central Committee  Two more divisions were mobilized from the northern region in case the Chinese would attack the Soviets from Alashan Pass.

    Alatau Mountain Pass is located between the Alatau Mountains and the Tarbahatai Mountains. Since the Alatau Mountains have a total length of 450 kilometers and a maximum altitude of 4464 meters, the Tarbahatai Mountains have a total length of 300 kilometers and a maximum altitude of 2992 meters, crossing the Sino-Soviet border.  With a border line of nearly a thousand kilometers, there is almost no second passage except Alashankou. It can be said that this place is the only shortcut that can directly enter the Soviet territory from the northwest region of China.

    Of course, the Soviet Central Committee would not turn a blind eye to such an important area. After the declaration of war between China and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Supreme Central Military Revolutionary Committee strengthened Druzhba's defensive strength, increasing it from the original regiment to a division, and it was still  Military camps were set up in Zharbukra and Kizilagash in Ala Lake, forming a triangular overall defense front with Druzhba. As long as the Chinese launched an attack from Alashan Pass, Druzhba could use Ala Lake to attack.  To provide cover for the rear and receive rapid reinforcements from the left and right wings, coupled with the permanent fortifications that Druzhba has completed, the entire defense line can be said to be impregnable.

    In the eyes of the Red Army commander.  There is no problem with the defense of Alashankou. As long as the enemy dares to come, with their solid fortifications and solid rear, one division can block 100,000 frontal enemies.  You must know that although the terrain of Alashan Pass is flat, the terrain may not be wide enough for large troops to attack, and excessive troops cannot be deployed on the front.  Moreover, the huge mountain ranges on the left and right gave the Red Army great confidence.

    "Damn weather" At 11:30 in the middle of the night on March 11, at Druzhba's outpost, a Red Army second lieutenant who had just returned from checking the post entered the warm military camp and stamped on his feet, which were already numb with cold.  He kept cursing.

    "Don't blame Maxim, you are still lucky compared to Igor." Seeing Maxim come back, Lieutenant Vladimir stood up from the fire and helped Maxim take off his heavy coat.  , and then handed him a cup of hot tea to warm him up.

    "Poor Igor I hope he won't freeze his hands and feet in such a cold weather." Maxim joked and took a sip of hot tea.  He rubbed his hands and sat down by the fire. He shook his head and said, "Compared to Minx, the night here is really too cold. It's almost mid-March, and the cold wind at night can still freeze the blood."  It turns into ice. Especially the strong wind blowing outside is simply worse than the cold wind in Siberia."

    "This is normal, this place is like this, you will get used to it in a few months." Vladimir comforted.  Alashankou is a famous wind outlet with a huge temperature difference between day and night.  Even in summer, it is normal for the weather to differ by more than 20 degrees between noon and midnight, not to mention that it is just the beginning of spring.  Vladimir has been stationed in Druzhba for a full year and has long been accustomed to the erratic weather. It is normal for Maxim to have such complaints not long after he was transferred from Belarus.

    "Do you have any wine?" He drank the hot tea in several sips.  Maxim asked quietly as he wiped his mouth.

    Vladimir glared at him, but Maxim looked at him with a smile.

    "Only half a bottle, don't drink more!" Shaking his head helplessly, Vladimir turned around and took out a small black porcelain bottle from the wooden box under the camp bed. As soon as he saw the wine.  Maxim's eyes suddenly lit up, he grabbed the bottle, uncorked it, and poured it into his mouth. He took a big sip, put down the bottle, and let out a sigh of relief.

    After taking back the wine bottle from Maxim, Vladimir raised his head and took a sip, and then asked: "Did anything happen during the inspection?"

    "What can happen? Everything is normal!" Maxim replied disapprovingly.

    "It's better to be careful. You must know that we and the Chinese declared war last year. If they"

    "Haha! Chinese? Are they yellow-skinned monkeys with pig tails on the back of their heads?" Maxim smiled and said: "If it weren't for the stubborn resistance of the White Army and the liberation of the Far East, these Chinese would have been defeated by our heroic and invincible forces.  The Red Army has been completely wiped out. How dare they come looking for death! Besides, declare war? Last year, the Chinese declared war on our Soviet Union with great fanfare, but what was the result? Until now, they are still hiding at home like a woman and can't leave.  Dare to come out??They are simply afraid of us.  These yellow-skinned monkeys are fine except for shouting verbally, but if they really want to fight, they are no match for us!  "

    "That's true." Vladimir nodded in agreement, but still reminded: "According to the instructions from superiors, work cannot be sloppy. This must be remembered. After the White Army in the Far East is eliminated, maybe we can  We will receive the order to eliminate the Chinese, and then we won¡¯t have to stay in this ghost place. I heard that the women in the East are very good, with petite figures and good skinhehehehe"

    Vladimir and Maxim smiled tacitly when they talked about this. As proud Red Army soldiers, all they had in their minds was the belief in destroying all Soviets and enemies. In their view, the Chinese government, China  The National Defense Force is basically a paper tiger. If they had not been ordered by their superiors to only carry out defense and not leave the country, I am afraid that in the opinion of the two of them, they would have defeated it with their troops. With the combat effectiveness of the great heroic Red Army, only one army is needed No!  One division can kill dozens of times the number of Chinese. After occupying the entire territory of China, a new and huge empire armed with Bolshevism will appear on top of the world, liberate all mankind, and complete the world.  The lofty ideal of Datong is not far away.

    In the excitement of drinking, Vladimir and Maxim talked shamelessly and became more and more excited, until half a bottle of wine was finished and they were still a little unfinished.  Unfortunately, due to the harsh environment at the outpost, they did not have much ability to get more alcohol, otherwise they would have to get drunk today.

    The night was already very late. In the room, which was warmed by the fire, and after drinking wine, the two of them gradually became sleepy while being excited.  Everyone said hello and went to bed to rest.  The barracks, which had been lively just now, suddenly became quiet. Except for the slight sparks erupting from the brazier in the center of the room from time to time, everything was so peaceful and quiet.

    I don't know how long I was there. In my sleep, Maxim seemed to have returned to the outside of the barracks. I could only hear the whistling wind blowing by my ears. The wind was getting louder and louder, noisy.  It upset him.

    "Huhbuzzbuzzbuzz"

    In his sleep, Maxim subconsciously pulled the quilt over his head, but he still couldn't stop the sound of wind whistling in his ears.  Until finally he couldn't help but woke up and yelled: "Damn wind! Can't you stop for a while?"

    As soon as the curse came out, Maxim, who was sitting on the bed, was suddenly stunned because he suddenly realized that he was not dreaming. There were indeed bursts of strange sounds outside, and the sounds were densely packed, getting closer and closer from far to near.  The more harsh.

    "What's going on? What's this sound?" At the same time, Vladimir also woke up, and he asked doubtfully with sleepy eyes.

    "I don't know, it seems to be coming from outside."

    "Outside?" Vladimir was stunned, quickly put on his clothes and stood up: "Let's go out and have a look."

    They put on their coats, then their coats, and before they had time to put on their boots, they heard a clink, and looked up to see the officer on duty, Second Lieutenant Igor, rushing in in panic.

    "Hurry up¡­¡­."

    Igor¡¯s face was full of panic, he raised his hand and pointed outside, breathing heavily.

    "What's going on? Are the pig-tailed yellow-skinned monkeys from across the way coming? Okay! They're here just in time, let's give them some color and see!" Maxim asked casually, and when Igor nodded desperately, he suddenly  Get excited: "Comrades! What are you afraid of! The heroic Soviet Red Army is invincible! Haha! We can finally fight, let them tremble under our guns! Come on! Comrades! Long live the Soviets! Long live the Red Army  !¡±

    The overly excited Maxim put on his boots, picked up the rifle hanging on the wall, and danced there with a blushing face.  And Igor looked at him like a fool.

    "Something big happened! The Chinese did come, but in the air! In the air!"

    "In the air?" Vladimir and Maxim were stunned for a moment, looking at each other and wondering what Igor was talking about. How could the Chinese be in the air?  Are they not angels from God?

    This answer was not solved until they walked out of the barracks and looked up at the sky.  What Igor said was absolutely correct. The Chinese were indeed in the air. The sky was densely packed with planes. They were rushing towards them from the southeast like dark clouds. As the planes flew closer and closer, the roar of their engines could be heard.  Into one piece.  When they walked out of the barracks, dozens of huge planes flew over their heads and headed back. After that, countless planes followed one after another, and they couldn't count how many there were at the moment.

    "This this¡­¡­."

      Maxim stood there with his eyes wide open, not even noticing that the rifle in his hand fell to the ground. He never expected that the war would start in this way. His previous heroic words were instantly blown away by the overwhelming number of planes.  Clean and tidy.  (To be continued)
