Chapter 11 Section Eleven

In the first month of 1934, at the Toutun River battlefield at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. The Soviets had more and more planes, twenty more came, and a total of seventy large bombers bombed in turn. On the eighth day, the 36th Division finally collapsed. After the White Horse Brigade was broken, the main force bypassed Dihua City and entered Tianshan Mountain.The White Horse Brigade fought until the last soldier, and even the last horse, the empty horse that lost its rider, was intercepted by the plane.It was a platform by the Toutun River. The angry white horse kept standing on the platform without leaving the platform, with its front hooves stretched to the sky and neighing; amidst the sound of the explosion, the neighing of the horse was full, moist, melodious and noble.The horse's four hooves turned into white wings in the cheers, and the horse was taking off, rising, and rising vertically.The sun, the ancient and fresh sun, was finally struck by the horseshoe, the bell is mighty, the solemn and sacred bronze sound!The ancient sound from the hinterland of Asia was carried to the top of the sky by the last flying horse. The bombs could no longer find it, and even its shadow was gone. In the vast sky, the horse walked quietly, wagging its beautiful tail Look down on those ridiculous planes.Airplanes buzz and circle like flies, they are more disgusting than flies, flies seek filth, airplanes create filth.Even the terrace was blown flat.

At the bend of the river valley, there were 600 corpses of Soviet commandos, their faces neatly covered with a small piece of white cloth, and a strangle mark on their necks.It is unbelievable that 600 special forces soldiers were strangled to death without firing a single shot or even pulling out their knives. They died so peacefully that they didn’t resist at all. They lay neatly together like a camp, 36 The division placed them away from artillery fire with military etiquette. "Enough!" the Soviet commander shouted, and all the officers and soldiers left the dead. The commander shouted, "These Asians, barbarians, kill them without mercy, don't let any one go!" The commander I personally drove the tank and rushed to the corpses on the snow. Those officers and soldiers who died in the 36th Division were crushed by the tanks, and all the tanks and armored vehicles were crushed over the corpses.The wounded soldiers of the 36th Division who lost their resistance were tied to tanks and armored vehicles. The crazy armored troops chased desperately, but they still couldn't catch up with the 36th Division.Air Force is much smoother.

The 36th Division entered the Houxia neatly in four columns.The Soviet plane was blocked by the Tianshan Bingfeng, and when it rushed up again, it first strafed and dropped bombs at the 36th Division on the mountain road.Not only did the army on the ground stay calm, but they shouted one-two-one, one-two-one. The pilot thought it was the provincial army and flew back.The chasing troops were hundreds of miles away, and the pilot was notified that the 36th Division was marching in front of them.Bombs fell like white rain.No one dodges, blowing up kills it!Many headless officers and soldiers stood straight in the mountains, and the planes had to go around and bomb repeatedly, just like cutting down a mountain, chipping them away bit by bit until they were invisible.

Several planes were specifically looking for Commander Ga, and swarms of bombs roared in.The commander of the Soviet Army saw through the binoculars that Ma Zhongying and his staff officers had turned into a sea of ​​flames, so he sent a report to the headquarters of the frontier defense army: the 36th Division fled to southern Xinjiang, and the division commander Ma Zhongying was hit by artillery fire. The battle report was sent to the Soviet Consulate in Dihua at the same time, and the consul immediately notified Sheng Shicai.Sheng Shi didn't believe it.The consul said, "The plane dropped bombs for five minutes, and the cannon plowed the ground several times. Can he get into the center of the earth?"

"He will come back from the dead." "Your fear is too serious. Relax. You have to understand that Ma Zhongying is defeated. He is running for his life. A hero who is running for his life is not scary." Sheng Shicai ordered his armored unit to speed up and keep an eye on the 36th Division, "For the bandit leader Ma Zhongying, he wants to see people and dead bodies." The Consul General laughed, "This is what the Chinese call the eradication of sedan chair weeds." Sheng Shicai told the Consul General, "We Chinese have always paid attention to keeping the green hills. We are not afraid of lack of firewood. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. He will make a comeback and revive. As long as a person has three inches of energy, he can turn the world around."

"Oh, what a terrible spirit of revenge, I completely understand the supervisor's mood." The new Dihua government is no longer the mess that Jin Shuren was when he was chairman, and even Yang Zengxin, the shrewd and capable first supervisor of border defense, is not as good as the new government.The new government is full of progressive young people with active thinking. Apart from the military, it pays more attention to propaganda and education.The political workers of the new government successfully instigated Ma Zhongying's allies as well as Ganiyazi Aji and Tiger King Rao Lebosi.

As soon as the 36th Division entered the Tianshan Mountains, it was attacked by Rao Le Boshami's army.The 36th Division, which was chasing by planes and tanks, was like a wounded beast, irritated by the beagle dogs blocking the way, roaring and pounced on it, and defeated Hami's army in less than an hour.Judging from the fierce battle scene, Ma Zhongying was not found, and Ma Zhongying and his big gray horse were too eye-catching.But no stretchers or signs of mourning were found either.Sheng Shicai almost believed that Ma Zhongying was dead. Although the 36th Division was defeated, it still had strength. The dragons had no leader, so they just recruited them.

Sheng Shi had a peaceful day.In just one day and one night, he didn't do anything, just fell into bed and fell asleep. His strings were too tight, and they would loosen to the bottom as soon as they were loosened. He sank endlessly into darkness, sinking head-on, like a bottomless pit.He was falling rapidly, and the bottomless pit had a bottom, he screamed and couldn't make a sound, he was suddenly shaken awake, it was his wife, Qiu Yufang, who had important information, and the confidential staff was waiting in the living room.Sheng Shicai rushed out desperately to read the telegram. The 36th Division fought bloody battles with Ganiyazi at Tiemen Pass for a day and a night. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. At the most critical moment of the fierce battle, Ma Zhongying and his big gray horse appeared on the battlefield. Xiongguan Tiemenguan, and Ganiyazi's troops lost thousands of horses and fled to the Udurus prairie.The raptor surfaced again.Like the Battle of Toutun River, the Battle of Tiemen Pass will spread throughout the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and throughout Central Asia.From ancient times to the present, only Zuo Zongtang of the Qing Dynasty and this baby commander Ma Zhongying were the only ones who broke the iron gate.There are two iron gates in Central Asia, one in Xinjiang and the other in Uzbekistan. It is said that Alexander the Great, the Macedonian king, suffered a disastrous defeat in front of the iron gate when he conquered the world, and the frenzy of the Macedonian army’s attack finally subsided.Sheng Shicai savored this wonderful battle slowly, he couldn't bear his head, thinking about every problem so brilliantly and thoroughly.Only a military expert like him can appreciate the far-reaching impact of the Battle of Iron Gate Pass.In this martial land, a grand battle means everything.During Sheng Shicai's ups and downs, his wife and staff quietly stood aside, and Sheng Shicai finally calmed down, "Call me to the Soviet consulate." The consul general already knew about the Battle of Tiemenguan.Sheng Shicai said: "Ma Zhongying is alive and personally commanding this battle." The Consul General said: "I also want to tell you some good news. The 36th Division has been driven out of the Tianshan Mountains by the powerful Red Army. The flat Tarim Basin has no barriers, aircraft and armor. The troops will show their talents, and the ancient and mysterious Tarim will soon be turned into a slaughterhouse and a cemetery, what a vast cemetery!"

On the edge of the Tarim Basin at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the ancient city of Korla is connected to the famous Bosten Lake in Central Asia. The vast grassland-like reeds are surrounded by rolling waves, which can easily be regarded as the sea. A vast expanse of water that no bird can fly through.The officers and soldiers of the 36th Division, who had been on a long-distance battle, stood in the moist sea breeze, taking a bath to cleanse their souls, and praying silently.The Soviet armored troops who were chasing were stunned when they saw this scene, and the roar of aircraft and tanks did not exist at all.

"What are they doing?" "They were praying to Allah." "No one can bless them, damned savages, planes and tanks must teach them a lesson." The discussion of the Soviet officers and soldiers was quickly interrupted by the captured wounded soldiers of the 36th Division.The captive woke up from the dizziness, and his life after waking up was peaceful and serene, "The sea surges towards us, and we love the sea." "Go love death!" A Soviet officer drew out a pistol and put it on the head of the prisoner.The prisoner lost a leg and his hands were tied to the turret. His expression was reserved and aloof. He didn't look at the officer and the gun at all. His eyes calmly opened up the entire Bosten Lake. A smile appeared on his face. The officer was annoyed, "What you love is death!" "Death is the deepest and oldest sea." The gun rang out, and the person who was shot just turned his head, as if deliberately throwing off the other half of his head. This half of him fell asleep soundly and ignored the madman at all.The lunatic fired another shot, but it missed. He shot three times without hitting it.The boss stopped his madness in time, and he couldn't show his stupid face in front of the Chinese.The boss began to show his stupidity in another way: he must let his officers and soldiers teach the Chinese personally.Just like a warrior, you can't just rely on airplanes, tanks and armored vehicles. Russia has a lot of young men.

The cavalry had been following, and now they were catching up.Each cavalry led a prisoner from the 36th Division in front, and the gun was pointed at the back of the prisoner.The cavalry lined up and approached the 36th Division. There was no movement on the 36th Division's position.After the first row of gunshots, more than one hundred prisoners fell in a pool of blood, and another three hundred prisoners shouted and rushed towards the hooves of the horses and the cavalry on horseback. The machine guns of the 36th Division fired violently, and the Qingma Brigade jumped out of the trenches, shooting down a large number of riders like a rainstorm of bullets.The big gray horse rushed up first, into the Soviet cavalry unit, and more riders from the 36th Division rushed up. The real cavalry battle kicked off, and a fierce battle started in front of the tanks and armored vehicles. In less than an hour, the red cavalry regiment All were chopped off. The tank and armored vehicle froze for a moment, waiting for the plane.The plane came quickly.The plane stared at the big gray horse.The big gray horse ran away quickly. On the south side of Bosten Lake, the Taklamakan Desert lies in front of you, and there is no way to escape.The Uighurs told everyone that this is the sea of ​​death, and you can't get out if you go in.Commander Ga tightened the reins, and the horse was about to rush into the desert. Commander Ga had to ask how big Taklimakan was?Uighur men point to the sky and the earth, as big as the sky is, the sea of ​​death is as big as the earth, and as big as the earth is, the sea of ​​death is as big as it is.Commander Ga was relieved, "Brothers, this is the road we are looking for when we started from Hezhou. Son, baby, come with me." The officers and soldiers of the 36th Division rushed into the sea of ​​death in battle formation. The following aircraft circled and asked the rear commander for instructions. The commander shouted, "Can the cavalry go, can you not go? Go in and hit hard." The aircraft and tanks quickly caught up. Airplanes are really useful. Cavalry can get rid of tanks and armored vehicles, but they can't get rid of airplanes.The plane flew at low altitude with free hands and feet, specially targeting the big gray horse and Commander Ga on horseback.All the planes know Commander Ga, this arrogant guy, bombs and machine guns can't catch him.Now the planes are coming up from four directions, weaving a fire net and throwing it out like fishing, covering the big gray horse. The big gray horse fell down, and the machine gun fired a bloody light, followed by the bomb. The big gray horse was blown up.The gunpowder smoke slowly dissipated, and the rider who had lost his horse in the distance threw off his legs and ran wildly. The plane was taken aback and rushed up in a circle.There were still four, and soon they reached the top of the rider's head. The bullets rained down, and white smoke splashed between the rider's legs and feet. This guy was as agile and nimble as an antelope, and rushed out again.The plane swooped and circled, and the fire net was thrown down. The area was several hundred meters, and the smoke was filled. This guy was climbing a sand beam. The pilot could even see his collar badge clearly. Then his face, a handsome and handsome face, and a The handsome man with the sword turned out to be a handsome man.Sleep forever in the sea of ​​death!The pilot pressed the button, and the bombs flew towards the golden sand beams like a flock of birds. The sand waves rolled and scattered, and the desert changed its appearance, just like a big bed with sheets changed, all traces were wiped off.Taklimakan, the real sea, is more real and mysterious than the sea.The pilot's report to his boss was concise and clear, "I buried Ma Zhongying with my own hands!"
