Volume Four The Battle of Unification Chapter 552: The annexation of Xinjiang

Seeing that the weather was getting colder, after Shirakawa Yoshino arrived in Almaty, the Japanese interfering troops quickly returned from various places and gathered in Dubiska Town, Anxi Province. Dubiska Town is a large town with only more than 3,000 households. The whole town is Kazakhs and Russians, with only three or four Mongols. Opposite it is Yili Prefecture, Xinjiang.

Nowadays, Japanese soldiers in the interfering army are wearing leather jackets, beards, half-long hair is covered with dust, and they are scented with mutton. They look so arrogant when they go abroad. In the past six months in the north, they first won a great victory, then were chased by a betrayal dog, and then trapped, and then escaped with the help of the Chinese team, but became a servant of the Chinese to help the Chinese fight against mountain rebels. I am afraid that the only thing that proves that they are Japanese is the red sun hat badge and Japanese on their heads. The Japanese army went to Russia in summer clothes and did not prepare winter clothes at all, so they could only snatch the clothes of the herdsmen on the way back. When outsiders looked over, they were like a group of nomads and bandits.

Some Japanese soldiers had two jars hanging around their necks, which were the ashes of their comrades. The comrades died in a foreign land and their ashes were to be buried back to their country. The injured Japanese soldiers supported each other, looking out to the east, the east, back to their hometown, and back to the east.

When Shirakawa Yoshinobu was so sad that he cried. The soldiers were dressed in sloppy clothes, their expressions were lost, and their eyes were filled with the desire to go home. When the soldiers saw the commander crying, they all started crying, and their crying was shocking. The Japanese reporters who accompanied the army took pictures of this scene. They returned to Japan and published it in newspapers, giving many Japanese a new definition of war.

War is not as easy as we imagined, nor is it the children's play we imagined. Nearly half of Japanese soldiers died in foreign lands.

The establishment of the White Tiger Legion was hasty, but there was no helplessness. After Wang Maoru arranged personnel, he handed over everything to Ren Yuanxing and Zhu Yongquan, and then organized the troops, the First Army Division, the Sixth Army Division, the Seventh Army Division, the 1st Army Cavalry Division, the 11th Army Division, and the 15th Army Division, 80,000 troops, and the 68,000 Japanese Interfering Army (9,000 people died in the process of suppressing bandits), and entered Yili Prefecture, Xinjiang.

Xinjiang Governor Yang Zengxin was so scared that he mobilized all the soldiers to Dihua Mansion, the capital of Xinjiang. As long as Dihua is guarded, Yang Zengxin would not lose his position as the governor.

After learning about it, Wang Maoru did not show any expression and did not ask his troops to prepare to deal with Yang Zengxin. He just asked He Rufei to send a message to Yang Zengxin to write a letter, "Those who oppose Yang, I will recommend him as the governor of Xinjiang in the future." It was just a counter-espionage plan that made Yang Zengxin fear his subordinates day and night and suspicious of his subordinates, making him nervous all day long. He even brought the families of four brigade commanders under him to Dihua Mansion. The name was protection but actually surveillance. This move made all subordinates dissatisfied. At this time, the generals in Xinjiang were in harmony. Before Wang Maoru arrived in Dihua, he had already disturbed the people of Dihua.

Since the people who returned to the east were not brought this time, the march was much faster, and the road after the army passed by Yili was easier. The Japanese interfering army, the vassal army of the Chinese interfering army, became honest all the way into China. There were few things that disturbed the people, as if they were all gentlemen. Wang Maoru sneered in his heart that the Japanese are really a dog. You have to knock on them, so that they can be honest. Only then can they know what can be done and what can't be done.

On October 20, 1919, 130,000 joint troops arrived at Dihua Prefecture, and received an envoy from Yang Zengxin from afar that he would welcome them. When he got close to Dihua Prefecture, he heard only three cannons on the city gate. Xinjiang Governor Yang Zengxin took the initiative to lead the crowd out of the city. After seeing Wang Maoru, he said respectfully: "Xinjiang Governor Yang. Meet General Shangwu."

Wang Maoru immediately got off his horse and walked up to hold Yang Zengxin's hand, and smiled enthusiastically: "The old general doesn't have to be so polite. They are all robes. Come on. Let me introduce to you. This is General Shirakawa Yoshinobu Shirakawa Commander, this is the commander of Fujii Shirakawa Division, this is the commander of Shirakawa Division, this is the commander of Shirakawa Division, this is the commander of Saito Jishiro Division, this is the commander of Kinoshita Usaru Division. This is the commander of Yong Xingbao, the commander of Li Pinxian, the commander of Fei Chaogui, Jiang Dengxuan Division, Zhang Xiangwu, and the commander of Du Bao. "

After meeting each other, Yang Zengxin smiled and said, "Everyone, welcome to Xinjiang." His smile was uneasy. He could not afford to offend him. Last time, Zhang Xiangwu almost swept across Xinjiang with a cavalry brigade, which was enough to see the weakness of the barren troops in Xinjiang. Looking at the entire history of the Republic of China, Xinjiang has always been an extremely insignificant place. In history, all warlords in Xinjiang rely on the Soviet Union to survive. This led to the Soviet Union's rebellion in the later period after the Soviet Union and China were in conflict with each other. Although what happened in the later period had nothing to do with the Soviet Union, there was no doubt that the Soviet Union launched the source of the Xinjiang Rebellion, and the Soviet Union laid the root of the disaster for the Xinjiang Rebellion in the Republic.

This time, Yang Zengxin prepared a hearty Xinjiang-style banquet. Everyone sat cross-legged on the futon, holding mutton on the table and drinking Xinjiang specialty wine. The wine tasted a little light, but it was full of momentum. All the officers here drank this wine for the first time, and they were drunk when they were not used to it for a while.

The order of seats for the banquet was very interesting. Originally, Yang Zengxin was the host who should be sitting on the top, but there was a Chinese marshal and a Japanese marshal below. This Chinese marshal is really a real marshal, not a marshal of the Republic of China who was a marshal of many Rugou. Wang Maoru had a huge territory, more than 300,000 regular troops, and the three armies and navy were equipped with all three armies. If he had not been unwilling, he would have already come to the world. Although Yang Zengxin was much older than Wang Maoru, he did not dare to sit on the top. However, another problem arose. If Wang Maoru, the Chinese marshal, what should the Japanese marshal Shirakawa Yoshinobu? The Japanese also value face, and Japanese culture inherited Chinese Sui and Tang culture and attached more importance to etiquette. The banquet seats were also part of the ceremony. If the banquet seats were not arranged, it would anger the Japanese.

In the end, Yang Zengxin's think tank Xiao Yaonan mentioned King Arthur's roundtable meeting mode to solve the seating problem, and everyone agreed. In this way, the officers sat on the ground and formed a circle with roasted lamb in the middle. Chinese and Japanese generals sat separated and a group of Xinjiang Uyghur girls danced Xinjiang danced, and a group of musicians accompanied happily on the side.

On the left is Yang Zengxin, the governor of Xinjiang, and on the right is Yoshinobu Shirakawa, the general of the Japanese Interfering Army. Wang Maoru looked up and saw Xiao Yaonan sitting behind Yang Zengxin and smiled.

Xiao Yaonan was a little confused. Xiushuai was smiling at him. Does he want to replace Yang Zengxin? If it is bad, wouldn’t the Governor Yang misunderstand? He felt extremely nervous.

"Senior Shirakawa, please." Wang Maoru said.

"Okay, please, too." Shirakawa Yoshino's Chinese is not good, but he lived in China for a while in his early years. At that time, the Chinese people were like grass-roots men in his eyes, but now they are very afraid of the Chinese team, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.

Along the way, Shirakawa Yoshinobu chatted with the soldiers to understand the soldiers' thoughts. Through the conversation, he learned a very frustrating situation. The Japanese army of four divisions had fear from the Chinese team from the bottom of their hearts. After they really fought with the Soviet Union, they realized that the Soviet army was indeed a difficult bone. The Chinese and the Soviet Union were able to get recognition from Tsarist Russia because they had strong combat power.

The Chinese have grown up to the point where they can compete with the Western army through continuous battles with the powers of the world and the continuous summary of combat experience. After two years of Russo-Japanese War in 1904, the Japanese Army had been detained for 16 years. Although the Japanese citizens spiritually requested the White Supreme People's Theory because of the victory of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan's economy was dragged down for ten years. During this decade, the Japanese Army never used martial arts again. It can be said that the Japanese Army is a well-equipped and well-trained and dared to fight, but is not an elite soldier in a hundred battles.

When the elite soldiers of hundreds of refining met the elite soldiers of hundreds of battles, the Japanese Army actually felt fear in their hearts.

Shirakawa Yoshino was very angry at the unprecedented fear of the Japanese army. He wrote a sixteen-part Chinese Northeast Army evaluation report, and in his suggestion, he believed that the four divisions participating in the interference with Russia were transferred to other places. If they fight with the Chinese team in the future, they must not let them go to the battlefield.

The most important thing about an army is its energy and spirit. These four divisions have lost the energy and spirit of the Japanese army.

After the singing and dancing that night, Yang Zengxin arranged for girls to enjoy for these Japanese officers. He also paid more attention to Wang Maoru's attitude. He visited Wang Maoru in the evening and directly expressed his willingness to surrender to Wang Maoru.

Unexpectedly, he was so conscious of the current affairs. Wang Maoru sneered in his heart and then said, "Governor Yang, you are old Beiyang. You should know that the reason why our country is constantly in war is not because our comprehensive national strength is not strong enough, but because we Chinese people love internal fighting too much. We all have endless internal fighting, which has caused heavy losses to the country."

Yang Zengxin said repeatedly that in the face of strong pressure, he, the Xinjiang governor, must also be on thin ice. He said that he only wanted to survive, only one life was enough.

Wang Maoru shook his head and said, "No need to do this. Since you voluntarily join our army, the term "supervisor, which symbolizes warlords," said Wang Maoru, Wang. "Xinjiang will set up two Xinjiang armed police brigades to protect the safety of the people. You are the governor of Xinjiang. What do you think?"
