Age of Rebirth

Avoiding the frontal battlefield in Outer Mongolia, bypassing Kazakhstan and returning to the special operations detachment of the Independent Division, it was in danger. It was armed by local tribes and chased by the Soviet army for hundreds of kilometers. It was besieged near Karaganda to Lake Balkhash. Suspended outside the country, surrounded by areas controlled by the Soviets, this danger is enough to make the brave special operations detachment fall into the situation of annihilation!

Tang Qiuli's worry became a reality. He was angry that Chutian didn't report the situation in time and wasted three precious days. These three days were enough for him to come up with a solution!

Tang Qiuli was furious, and continued to roar: "Goodness you, Chutian, you must be punished severely when you come back!" His roar resounded in the room, and the staff and confidential officers outside, The correspondents all looked at each other in blank dismay. I don't know why the teacher who rarely gets angry is so angry?

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe saw the division commander's fury, and hurriedly said: "Master, let's deal with the punishment later. The key issue now is how can we reinforce the special warfare detachment?"

It's really not the time to lose your temper. Everything will be discussed after the rescue of the special warfare detachment. Tang Qiuli calmed down and thought sharply. Both Chen Feng and Chen Feng looked at the teacher anxiously.

A few minutes later, Tang Qiuli said sternly: "Director Chen, record the following order. First, Deputy Commander Tang and Le Yiqin of the Southern Aviation Group will immediately dispatch all transport planes to transport your Falcon paratroopers. The troops of the eight reconnaissance battalions of the Corps, carrying infantry heavy weapons, as much ammunition, supplies, medical equipment and medicines as possible, landed at Dihua in Xinjiang, waiting for the order of the division headquarters!"

"Special attention must be dispatched to reconnaissance troops. In addition, fighter jets from no less than three regiments must be dispatched to land at Dihua Airport together."

"Second, Liu Cuigang of the Northern Flying Group, all the transport planes of your department must be assembled at the Erenhot Field Airport immediately, fully equipped and ready to go at any time. The number of transport planes must be able to transport six battalions of troops at one time!"

"Third, call Chutian, the special operations detachment will last for two more days. I have already organized troops and rushed to reinforce them by transport plane!"

"Go, immediately issue an order to let Le Yiqin's transport plane and fighter take off first," Tang Qiuli said to Chen Feng.Chen Feng hurried out.

"Tiger! Tiger!" he shouted again.

Shanhu stepped in a few steps and asked loudly, "Master, what's the mission?"

Tang Qiuli looked at Shan Hu carefully.Said: "Huzi, there is an urgent mission. Chutian is in Kazakhstan and is besieged by the Soviet army and local armed forces. We must go for reinforcements. You lead the division and all the troops of the guard brigade. They will be transported to Xinjiang by Liu Cuigang's transport plane unit. Dihua, and you will be the commander of the reinforcements, Huzi. We must rescue the special operations detachment from the dangerous predicament!"

"I have already transferred the Falcon Paratrooper Regiment from the Southern Flying Group, plus eight reconnaissance battalions. Liu Cuigang's transport aircraft unit, in addition to transporting the guard brigade, I also plan to transfer a regiment from the No.11 Brigade directly under the regiment. There are more than 8000 enemy troops besieging Chutian, so don't take it lightly, you should first set up a reinforcement headquarters in Dihua, communicate with Chutian, and then start taking action!"

"Counting it all together, we have more than 6000 troops dispatched, which is enough, especially Le Yiqin's paratrooper regiment, which can parachute on the battlefield and provide direct support for Chutian. After arriving in Dihua, you On my behalf, I will first meet with Sheng Shicai, the Xinjiang Frontier Supervision Office of the Nationalist Government, and ask him to assist by providing all the horses, cars, and guides, and in addition, let him dispatch a division of troops to cooperate with us!"

Shanhu grinned and said, "Okay, finally we're fighting again. I'll take the guard brigade away, and the special guard squadron will stay for you. Otherwise, I'm worried!"

Tang Qiuli waved his hand and said resolutely: "Just leave me a team. You can take all the other special guards. If you haven't smelled blood for a long time, you will die soon. You just have this opportunity. Take the troops and set off immediately, and strive to arrive at the Erlianhot Field Field Airport tonight, Huzi, I will leave everything to you, and I must bring all the special operations detachment back to me!"

Shan Hu nodded solemnly, but he was still worried about leaving only one special guard unit by Tang Qiuli's side, and insisted. Tang Qiuli had already turned around, and Shan Hu swallowed the words that came to his lips .

Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe: "In my name, send a telegram to Sheng Shicai, inform him of the reason why our troops entered Xinjiang, and order him to make all preparations. He must provide, military operations must cooperate unconditionally, if there is anything, contact Major General Huang Shanhu!"

Zhao Yuhe hesitated, and reminded, "Master, Sheng Shicai is not very reliable. Over the years, he has been in harmony with the Nationalist government, and he has the intention of forming a unified system in Xinjiang. Moreover, according to the information from the Intelligence Department, Sheng Shicai has always maintained a good relationship with the Soviet Union, and when our troops entered Xinjiang, he dared not disobey your orders on the surface, and there is a high possibility of tampering behind the scenes!"

"It will cause a lot of trouble for our reinforcements," Zhao Yuhe said worriedly. "Also, I suspect that the encirclement of the Special Operations Detachment this time has a lot to do with Sheng Shicai. Look—!" With that, Zhao Yuhe walked to the map.

Pointing to the place where the special warfare detachment was not besieged, he said: "Master, the area from Karaganda to Lake Balkhash that the special warfare detachment was besieged is less than [-] kilometers away from Bole, Xinjiang. Where there are two divisions garrisoned, after the leader of the Chutian detachment is surrounded, he will definitely notify Sheng Shicai immediately and send troops to reinforce him. However, three days have passed, why Sheng Shicai did not take any action is very doubtful !"

"Also, the retreat route of the Special Warfare Detachment passes through the territory of Xinjiang. He will not fail to inform Sheng Shicai in advance. That is to say, Sheng Shicai knew the retreat route of the Special Warfare Detachment in advance. We started to retreat, nearly half of the [-]-kilometer journey has been completed, and we have not encountered any form of obstruction, but we have arrived near the border of Xinjiang, and instead we are surrounded by the Soviet army and tribal armed forces?"

"Master, this is all suspicious! Therefore, Sheng Shicai is unreliable, and we must be on guard against him!" Zhao Yuhe said with a serious face.

"En!" Tang Qiuli's eyes half-closed, two cold lights shot out, his tone was as cold as ice, and he said: "Yuhe, your reminder is very reasonable, the telegram to Sheng Shicai Here, add these words, Superintendent Sheng, all activities of our independent division troops in Xinjiang and Kazakhstan must not make any mistakes, this is your responsibility!"

"Once something I don't want to happen, or any unexpected loss of my troops, I, Tang Qiuli, will definitely believe that Supervisor Sheng is unable to control the overall situation in Xinjiang, and I will take the vice chairman of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government In the name of the former enemy commander-in-chief of the national armed forces, troops of independent divisions were sent into Xinjiang to take over all the party, government and military power in Xinjiang, and Sheng supervised you, and you will bear my wrath! You will be responsible for all consequences!"

Threats, naked threats, made no secret of their intentions, domineering, this is domineering, I believe that after Sheng Shicai received this telegram, even if he was full of bad water, he would not dare to let out a single drop, leaving the teacher behind Regardless of the identity and status in the Nationalist Government, it is the division commander's achievements in the past few years. The Japanese, British, and Soviets have been beaten all over the place. A corner of Xinjiang cannot bear the anger of the division commander and the millions of soldiers of the independent division!

Not only would Sheng Shicai fully cooperate, but he might also be worried about the special operations detachment and reinforcements. During his stay in Xinjiang, there must be no accidents. What he was facing was a colossus that he would never mess with. Zhao Yuhe thought in amazement.

"Yes——! Commander, I'll send a telegram to Sheng Shicai right away! Captain Huang, can they set off immediately? Also, send the regiment of the No. 11 brigade? The truck to transport the troops to Erenhot is ready! "Zhao Yuhe continued to ask.

Tang Qiuli thought for a while and said, "Time is running out. Let's set off immediately. The reinforcements on the North Road will try to arrive at Dihua Airport in the early morning of tomorrow. Mmmm—send the first regiment of the No.11 Brigade!"

"Wait for Yuhe!" Zhao Yuhe was about to leave when Tang Qiuli called to stop him.

"Master, do you have any orders?" Zhao Yuhe asked in surprise.

Tang Qiuli patted his head and thought for a while, then said: "I remember that there should be a small field airport in Tacheng, Xinjiang. When visiting Germany and passing through Xinjiang, Sheng Shicai told me that it seemed that he wanted to choose Tacheng. City as a refueling point on the way."

"Time is very tight. The closer to the border, the closer to the besieged area of ​​​​the special operations detachment. At least one day can be saved. Now, if there is an extra minute of delay, Chutian and the others will be more dangerous. I am even more worried. , It’s the other Soviet troops chasing after the Special Operations Detachment. It’s been three days, enough for the Soviet commander to dispatch troops, Yuhe, don’t hesitate, go check it out right away, is that airport in use?”

Zhao Yuhe immediately called the staff office, and after a while, Colonel Ge Zhenzhuang, the head of the staff office, came over, holding a map, and said, "Master, I have inquired from the National Government Aviation Administration that there is an area near the Kazakhstan border in Xinjiang. There is indeed a small military airport in Tacheng along the line, which is a training base for the Xinjiang Frontier Supervision Office’s air force and is in normal use.”

"However, the airport is too small, and we can only land more than [-] fighter jets at a time. We are using a large transport plane this time. I'm afraid the airport can't accommodate a few of them!" Ge Zhenzhuang said while pointing to the location of Tacheng.
