1932: Playing with the Japanese Communist Party with a doll

"If you can't do it, you'll all die!

His words were translated with difficulty.

It was obvious that the officer in charge of the translation was having a hard time understanding it, and it was even harder for the person listening to this passage:

Are you looking for trouble?!

Let’s not talk about the 30000 cattle and sheep, 300 carts of gold and 300 carts of silver?

It is a question whether there is so much gold and silver in the entire grassland!

One more hour!

You might as well kill me!

Also, although you speak Chinese quite well, you don't act like a Japanese person at all!

Now, even the "dreamer" who had been trying to numb himself could no longer pretend. He sighed and asked:

“Whose are you anyway?

"I told you! We are the 129th Division! In addition to the gold and silver, we will also hold you accountable..."

"Amar? Choibalsan? Or Demid? We are all Mongolians. Let's just speak our minds. Why resort to such tactics? Remember, we still have power!"

Five or six years ago, if any officer dared to speak to the lamas in this way, the lamas would have instigated the herdsmen or told his parents, and he would have been beaten half to death. But now the situation has changed, and whoever has a gun in his hand is the king.

"!

As if realizing that it was pointless to continue acting like this, the leading officer completely lost his composure and finally stopped pretending. He angrily whipped the man with his horsewhip and uttered a Mongolian phrase he had practiced for a long time:

"Two years ago, the government issued an order prohibiting all temples from continuing to operate. Why did you disobey the order and even hold a private gathering?!

Sure enough, he is here to find trouble!

And he wants to blackmail me along the way!

Seeing his little lama, who was a troublemaker, being whipped and crying beside him, the big lama's face turned cold:

"The persecution against us ended in April this year. Who gave you the courage..."

"End? When did the order come from? Why didn't I receive it? Bring out the document for me to check!"

MN

Are you telling me about commands? About files?

Isn't this something that everyone has finally reached a "tacit understanding" about recently?

Who would dare to issue direct orders in front of the Soviets?

Isn't that courting death?

The lamas were increasingly certain that the young officer before them was a member of the "pro-Soviet" faction, including Choibalsan, and had come here to cause trouble after hearing about the lamas' gathering.

No, it's not about trouble. How could thousands of troops be sent out just to cause trouble?

烦!

It seems that today will not end well..

Damn Choibalsan!

Damn Demid!

Damn Kazanin!

How dare you break your promise!

You will not die well!

"Can't produce it? If you can't produce it, then it's an illegal assembly!"

Seeing that the lamas were unable to answer, the leading officer waved his hand:

"Charge in! Arrest everyone! Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy! M "You dare!"

"boom!"

The conflict between the two sides broke out.

The leading officer shot and killed the lama who tried to stop him. More than a thousand soldiers rushed in, killed all the resisters, and captured all the lamas who had not had time to escape.

Whether intentional or not, there were more "hardliners" among the lamas who successfully escaped, and although the soldiers were all on horseback, no one chased them.

In short, after capturing and beating the lamas and looting their gold and silver, the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the 129th Division, calling itself the "1st Cavalry Brigade of the 129th Division," gathered nearby herdsmen and began to publicly try the lamas.

Of course, it is still in the name of "129th Division 1st Cavalry Brigade":

"...These bastards actually dared to collude with the Yun Wang forces in Ulanqab to assassinate our Highness Fujiwara no Kanezane. Fortunately, our king is safe! We are here today to avenge our king! Let these bastards be brought to justice!"

NN

Through

The herdsmen were terrified and confused.

The fear and anxiety were naturally caused by the ferocious army in front of them, and the doubt and uncertainty were naturally caused by the other party's arrival being a little too inexplicable.

This place is not very far from Ulanqab, and news still comes from time to time. I haven't heard of any "129th Division" heading north to attack!

Besides..

Why do some of the officers in the audience look so familiar?

It seems like we Mongolians!

Why are you still wearing old Mao's clothes?

The herdsmen vaguely sensed something was wrong but were too frightened to say anything, but the lamas were extremely angry.

Good, good!

That's it!

No wonder they disguised themselves as the "129th Division". They wanted to kill us and put the blame on the Japanese, deceive the simple herdsmen to divert hatred, ease internal conflicts, and get rid of you, right?

Fuck you!

Since you are unkind, don't blame us for being unjust!

We can't get better, so don't expect us to get better either!

Seeing the soldiers approaching with grim smiles, several lamas desperately struggled to break free from their restraints, which were somehow not very secure, and frantically shouted at the top of their lungs:

"They are not Japanese! They are the cavalry of Kulun! They are the Soviet old Mao

"Eternal Heaven is my witness! They are the jackals of Kulun! They are the running dogs of Choibalsan!

"They are here to kill us!!! Kill them! Kill them!

MN

As the lamas fled and shouted, causing chaos at the scene, the herders below, although they did not respond to the call to resist, took the opportunity to start whispering to each other. Several "herders" secretly spread true and false news:

Let me tell you, I went to Ulanqab some time ago."

"...They are definitely not the 129th Division..."

"...In my opinion, it's probably from Kulun..."

MN

The herders were already skeptical, and with the lamas shouting and yelling at them, and this "eyewitness clarification" below, they were immediately misled and made their own judgments:

Those guys who claim to be "129th Division" are definitely people from Kulun in disguise.

of!

Damn it! Shameless!

It turns out to be our enemy!

Don’t think that just because the higher-ups say “we are all Mongolians”, then we are all really “Mongolians”.

In Mongolia, the hatred between tribes is often much greater than the hatred between ethnic groups.

Are Han people hateful?

Is Maozi evil?

I, the Khalkha tribe, will kill you, you idiot from Zahaqin, first!

What's more, because the pro-Soviet factions such as Choibalsan frantically purged the Lama forces and set up "collective farms", they severely offended the entire southern Outer Mongolia, so Outer Mongolia is actually still a bulk country that is not much better than India.

Not daring to speak does not mean not daring to hate.

Seeing the lamas being recaptured, their jaws smashed and their heads chopped off one by one, the familiar smell of cruelty came over them, and the herdsmen became more and more certain that those people were Kulun cavalry in disguise.

snort!

You are still saying things like "We are really the 129th Division" and so on. It is you proud Kulun people and the Russians' lackeys who treat us all as fools!

That night, the cavalry brigade counted out seventy boxes of silver ingots, six large bags of gold sand, and five volumes of the Diamond Sutra made of human skin in the temple cellar.

After seeing these things, even the military officers who came from the Chinese Communist Party no longer had any psychological barriers to the brutal killing of lamas without any trial or conviction.

These guys!

He really deserves to be cut into pieces!

Fujiwara no Kanemichi rubbed the scroll with his fingers twice and sneered:

"What did I say? No one believes me when I tell the truth. The effect is much better than expected, isn't it?"

Commander, then our next step is..."

"Pass the order down. Since everyone trusts us so much, let's follow Plan A and get moving!"

"yes!

The next morning, the herdsmen, who had spent the night in a mixture of fear and anger, were shocked to find that the Kulun cavalry disguised as the Northeast 129th Division had left.

They carefully explored the temple and found many things that the cavalrymen had "accidentally" left behind.

Soviet-style leaflets with the words "Eliminate religion, liberate herdsmen", Soviet-made bullets, Soviet-style canned food, an iron pot with some Russian words worn off, cans with awkward Japanese words printed on them, leather boots that were obviously not used in the South, and Soviet-style large leather hats... and so on.

Now, no one doubted it anymore.

It was those bastards from Kulun who were slaughtering our respected lamas!

Suspicion is confirmed and hatred accumulates.

Over the next few days, the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the 129th Division split up and, using various but similar tactics, swept through more than a dozen Lama temples in the southeastern Gobi Desert.

In addition to looting gold, silver and other valuables, they also massacred at least 1000 monks from the Lama Temple and deliberately let a similar number go.

It can be seen from this that these lamas, who do almost no production and rely solely on support from herders, will bring a heavy burden to the people and government of Outer Mongolia, who are already suffering from natural disasters and economic difficulties.

You have to know that even if the Soviet garrison and various technical personnel are included, there are only about 80 people in the whole of Outer Mongolia at that time, and most of them are concentrated near Kulun, and the number of people in the south is even smaller;

From this perspective, Fujiwara no Kanezane firmly supported Choibalsan and the Soviets in slaughtering the lamas and clearing out religious forces, because he would do the same thing when he took over Outer Mongolia in the future, so why not?

However, even so, many Mongolian grassroots people are still willing to risk their blood and lives to support the Lama forces and oppose the Soviet Union's purge and transformation. This is really a bit pitiful and hateful.

There is no other way, I have to use some drastic measures.

As a result, related "supplementary performances" quickly followed.

The National Security Bureau of the Five-Star Eastern Republic announced the "findings of the assassination investigation" and "relevant evidence" some time ago, claiming that the assassination was carried out in collusion between remnants of the Yun Palace and certain princes and lamas in Outer Mongolia, and demanded an explanation from the Outer Mongolian government.

The Military Commission immediately announced that if Outer Mongolia failed to give a clear answer and offer an apology, punishment, and compensation, the loyal 129th Division would not hesitate to defend their sun with blood and fire.

The Economic Committee also announced the imposition of economic sanctions on Outer Mongolia and personal sanctions on key leaders, even though the two sides had no economic dealings whatsoever.

演!

It's just an act!

In short, the momentum was extremely huge, but any intelligent person could see that there was no sign of mobilization of the 129th Division or any other armed forces in the entire Northeast.

Come to think of it, the 129th Division had just experienced several consecutive battles and was exhausted. Even if they wanted to start a war again, they would have to wait at least for a few months.

In other words, there are absolutely no troops of the 129th Division in Outer Mongolia.

what?

You said there were troops from the 129th Division operating in southern Outer Mongolia?
