1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

Killing Prince De destroyed the Japanese plot to split Mongolia and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese.

Although this also led to his own retaliation, who cares about a mere King Kang?

As for those dead authors of "Bailingmiao" who were too lazy to even write their names, no one cares about them anymore.

So, at least, we can still barely say that "the two sides ended in a draw." From the perspective of strategic objectives, the CCP even won a rare victory.

After all, Manchukuo failed to achieve its strategic goal—supporting Prince De and splitting Inner Mongolia—but the CCP achieved its goal—preventing Inner Mongolia from being split.

Of course, this is the idea of ​​most Han people, especially those who have knowledge of war and politics, but for the Mongols, things are not like this.

After the tribes on the grasslands learned about this, they could no longer hold back.

To be precise, it was the various "Zasaks", Mongolian nobles such as Shah and King Qi who broke through the defense.

It's fun to play like this, right?

If I surrender to the Japanese, I will be killed by the vicious Communists; if I surrender to the Communists, I will be killed by the vicious Japanese. So no matter what I choose, I will die, right?

Then...then I'll join the Kuomintang!

Uh...it doesn't seem possible - there is a high probability that he will be killed by both the Japanese and the Communists; besides, the Kuomintang has never been very reliable.

Song Zheyuan was so close, but he refused to send troops and even hid behind. It was obvious that he was unwilling to lead his infantry to fight against a cavalry unit that came and went like the wind on the grassland.

The only option then is... to surrender to the Soviets?

Come on!

Our relatives in Outer Mongolia might still have a chance, but where can we, the people of Inner Mongolia, go to seek refuge with the Soviets?

In addition, as we all know, the Soviets were a little afraid of the Japanese and never dared to conflict with them. However, judging from the situation in Outer Mongolia, the outcome of surrendering to the Soviets did not seem so good.

Who else can I turn to?

It can't be American, British or French, right?

In short, after some consideration, except for the tribes that were too close to Manchukuo and could be violently invaded by the 386th Brigade at any time, most of the Inner Mongolian nobles chose to defect to the Communist Party of China, or at least show goodwill to the other side.

After all, although the CCP was also very ruthless this time, the Japanese... uh, Manchukuo was indeed more brutal.

They actually killed so many nobles and lamas in Bailing Temple! They actually set fire to a Buddhist holy place like Bailing Temple!

Most importantly, they even distributed the land, cattle, sheep, gold, silver and jewelry they had plundered to the untouchables and even slaves!

What a sin!

In short, the actions of the 386th Cavalry Brigade gave the Mongolian nobles a feeling:

The Japanese didn't seem to care about them much, didn't seem to need them much, or perhaps His Highness had lost his patience with the Mongols who were so indecisive;

On the contrary, it is the Chinese Communist Party that usually shows enough respect to Mongolia.

Although the CCP always demands this and that, asking them to treat civilians well and even sending cadres to stir up trouble in their tribes, at least they don't directly kill people with knives or dig up the roots of their nobles like the Japanese did!

Choose the CCP!

Of course, it was only after a very long time that these decadent and backward fools finally realized that, in fact, no one needed them.

"...Well, reply to the Cavalry Division, if the commander of this unit is really that person, he must be extremely cunning. Especially in this kind of weather, we must be very careful. It is better to have no results than to be ambushed..."

"Air Force? No way! They still want to take off for reconnaissance in this weather? Are they afraid they won't die quickly enough? Do they think we have too many pilots? Even Comrade Ma Shiwu doesn't dare to take off! Let them stay put!"

"Reply to King Sha! If he doesn't want the people near Bailing Temple to rebel and make everyone think that we Chinese are inferior to the Japanese, then he should boldly confiscate the property! This is outrageous!"

In Yulin, accompanied by a man's curse and a woman's laughter, orders were passed out from the Corps Headquarters.

After finally having some free time, Li Desheng was still cursing: "These guys..."

This refers to the group of Mongolian nobles on the Ordos grassland led by the Shah.

These idiots, after hearing what happened in Bailing Temple, actually demanded that the Red Army be dispatched;

What was the purpose of sending the Red Army out?

They weren't going to attack the 386th Brigade for revenge, but to recover the property that had been distributed to the nomadic slaves!

You even claim you can split the profits 70% to 30%! I'll give you nothing!

Why don't these nobles send someone themselves?

Because that terrifying cavalry unit is likely to still be hanging around nearby. What if they come back to kill us?

So, let the Red Army go. The Red Army is stronger. So, it is acceptable for the Red Army to take 70%!

They also had a little trick that they thought no one else knew - to make the Red Army and the 386th Brigade fight each other and make them enemies, so that they could profit from it.

At this moment, Li Desheng finally lost all his patience and confidence in this group of princes.

In fact, at the beginning, when Fujiwara Kanezane proposed through Comrade Ma Shiwu that everyone should work together to deal with this group of dishonest Mongolian nobles on the grassland, Li Desheng was reluctant to agree;

In his view, while it is necessary to establish authority over the grasslands, the main approach is to appease, educate, and reform, rather than resorting to "fishing enforcement" and directly killing people.

However, as the signs of collusion between Prince Akang and Prince De and the "Manchukuo" became increasingly obvious, and the lamas and petty nobles under them became increasingly hypocritical in their obedience to the Red Army's policies, Li Desheng also became angry.

Transformation, transformation, it seems that not everyone can be transformed!

"Hehe, my commander has already said that you are often too kind and too good-hearted, especially to those outside the Party."

UMP45 sat on the table, her legs swinging back and forth, her head tilted as she smiled.

"But, as the saying goes, even the Buddha has the wrathful eyes of a diamond, yet you often become so completely Buddha-like that only the Buddha nature remains, without any murderous intent."

"...you..."

Li Desheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't argue much, but changed the subject:

"Didn't you say your commander has always had high hopes for me? Since we're so close this time, are you really not planning on meeting him? I still want to talk to him!"

"It's mainly inconvenient. After all, you have a hundred thousand troops around you. With just his few men, there's no way he can defeat you. And he can even run away. It's totally inexplicable and will easily arouse suspicion, so I've given up on it."

"Hmm... That's true. What about next time?"

"Next time, next time, when you lead the Red Army to Chahar to fight against Comrade Wang Yong's 386th...129th Division, then we'll find a chance to meet. Maybe after next spring? There's always a chance."

"Okay...Okay!"

When Chen's name was mentioned, Li Desheng almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and then showed a trace of regret on his face.

He had long admired Fujiwara no Kanezane, a communist fighter who lurked in the enemy camp and made great contributions to the Chinese revolution, the Japanese revolution, and the liberation of the Chinese and Japanese people, and deeply regretted that he could not meet him.

If he didn't have the same important responsibility and was not a little famous, he would have wanted to go to Northeast China to have a good chat with that person about the future of China, Japan and the world.

"So, your next plan is to continue wandering around the grasslands and killing people?" "Well, use the excuse of being pro-Communist, anti-Manchu, and anti-Japanese to purge any reactionary forces like the Mongolian nobles and lamas you encounter. This will make it easier for you to reform them later. The people of the grasslands will eventually be liberated."

"Then... then you guys should be careful. I really can't interfere with the Cavalry Division..." I can't just order Commander Xu "no pursuit" or "no clash with the enemy," right?

That would arouse suspicion too easily.

"Don't worry, they won't be able to catch the commander..."

40. The agent and that guy are both here. If the commander is still caught, it can only mean...

At this moment, the sound of footsteps rang out, and the two men stopped chatting. "Report! Chairman! A female comrade wants to see Comrade Ma Shiwu! She said she is..."

"Yes, it's my sister, let her in!" "Ah? Ah! Yes!"

—Hearing that she was really Instructor Ma’s sister, the young guard was immediately in awe and quickly trotted out.

After a while, a figure wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket rushed into the room with a gust of smelly wind and threw himself into UMP45's arms.

The latter frowned and blocked UMP9's head with his hands in disgust: "You stink, stay away from me..."

"I can't help it... I've been following the Commander around for over half a month... I'm tired of it..."

UMP9, who also had black hair and black eyes, raised her head and said pitifully, "Sister 45, Sister 45, please give me a hug, please give me a hug..."

"You..."

UMP45 sighed, finally relenting and letting go, letting the other person rub against her chest.

"Ah 45 sister energy..."

This scene was too pleasing to the eyes, and Li Desheng, adhering to the principle of "don't look at what is inappropriate", turned his eyes away:

"Comrade Shiwu, is this your sister?" "Yes, her name is...Kacha..." "Hey? Why did she faint?"

UMP45 glanced at the guy in her arms who was pretending to be knocked unconscious. A small "井" character appeared on her forehead. She smiled with a forced smile and said word by word:

"Comrade Li Desheng, please wait a moment. My sister and I will go in and chat with each other!"

"Oh...oh..."

UMP45, emitting a dangerous aura, dragged UMP9 into the inner room. Soon, they heard some incomprehensible words such as "What steel plate?" and "Do you want to be disassembled into parts or have your mind erased?"

Although the voice was very low, Li Desheng felt as if there was an extremely terrifying demon inside, emitting a world-destroying roar and some unspeakable resentment.

A few minutes later, the two men came out again. UMP9, who had been carried a little, stood up straight and saluted with renewed vigor.

"Comrade Li Desheng, hello, my name is Ma Shimei! Please send a troop to a certain place to collect our supplies!"

"Damn it! These puppet soldiers! Are they fucking idiots?!" In the snowstorm, Division Commander Xu jumped up and down, cursing, but no one around him tried to stop him. The officers and soldiers of the Cavalry Division all looked grim.

After hearing about the incident in Bailingmiao, they left the injured political commissar Ulanhu and a troop in Sunite Right Banner to continue the work, while the others rushed to the southwest.

It was only through a comrade named Gao Gang, who stayed in the Bailingmiao area, that they learned that the troops attacking them were actually cavalry led by the "King of the Northeast" himself!

Now, everyone in the cavalry division was excited.

If we can capture or kill this person, not to mention the great achievement, the anti-Japanese situation in the entire Northeast and even the entire North may be completely overturned!

After the incident was reported to the Corps Commander, they were ordered to "pursue carefully and avoid losses";

At first, Commander Xu didn't take it too seriously. He had 2000 men under his command. How could he not be defeated by a tired army that had come a thousand miles?

However, he soon realized how foolish his arrogance was and how far-sighted Li Desheng was.

Because, no matter how hard the comrades of the Cavalry Division tried, they could not catch a single hair of the 386th Cavalry Brigade, which theoretically should have collapsed long ago!

To put it bluntly, it's as if the other party is a local who is familiar with the situation, and they are the outsiders!

This was like pouring a bucket of cold water on the head of Division Commander Xu, who had experienced the "Wuhan Dog Walking War" and was a little hot-headed, and the entire Cavalry Division, which had been going smoothly since its establishment.

It turns out that the Red Army isn't the only one capable of marching thousands of miles while remaining intact, possessing explosive combat effectiveness, and remaining relentless and formidable.

really!

That Japanese prince is the biggest enemy of the CCP and the Red Army! At this time, Chen Xilian hurried over:

"Report to the division commander! We found a batch of abandoned supplies in the northwest!"

"Um??"

Soon, more and more abandoned supplies were discovered, and they were moving further and further northwest.

what happened?

Could it be that the army is really on the verge of collapse? No, it could be a trap. I must... No!

Trap or not, you have to go!

Such a large amount of supplies could not have been left behind by another army! It was only that army, only that army!

As long as we can capture the leader, any sacrifice will be worth it! Commander Xu gritted his teeth and said:

"Let's go! Send out twice as many scouts! Everyone, be alert! Let's go meet them!"

"Yes!"

In this way, the Red Army Cavalry Division moved cautiously to the northwest, its route swaying left and right, and finally lost all trace near the place where Feng Yuxiang had taken the "Wuyuan Oath".

Wuyuan...let me think...wait!

I remember that the Corps accepted Soviet material aid on behalf of the Party Central Committee, and the agreed receiving location was right here!

Because the battle reached near Yulin, it became possible for the CCP to directly obtain large-scale weapons and material assistance from the Soviet Union, but the time and place of the assistance were only known to middle and senior military cadres such as Xu Shiyou.

Comrade Ma Shiwu has previously stated that, in order to avoid provoking the Nationalist government and the Japanese, the Soviets, while agreeing to increase aid to the CCP, remained cautious in their approach and refused to act too aggressively.

There is no way. The CCP is soft-hearted when taking from others and soft-mouthed when eating from others. As long as it can get aid materials, it doesn’t care too much about being "arrogant" or not.

What's in your stomach is real. That cavalry unit actually made it here? Could it be...

"Report to the division commander! A troop is coming from the south! We have verified it! It is the Red 56th Division!"

Soon, Chen Shuxiang's Red 56th Infantry Division and the Red Army Cavalry Division successfully joined forces near Wuyuan.

"What's going on? Comrade Chen Shuxiang, why are you here? If it's that incident, you wouldn't be taking this road, right?"
