Chapter 936: Defense of the Kyzyl Fortress
There are three oil fields currently being exploited in China, and the only ones that are completely affiliated to the National Defense Forces are Karamay Oilfield, and the other two are Puyang Oilfield and Yumen Oilfield.
Among them, the oil field located in Puyang, Henan has just closed its oil production equipment and is still under preparation. It is jointly purchased by Wang Maoru, his officers and other officials under Wang Maoru. The country only accounts for 20% of the shares here, and Wang Maoru alone accounts for 30%. The third oil field is the oil field located in Yumen, Gansu. The oil layer of this oil field is relatively shallow, but the oil quality is relatively poor, and it can barely be extracted. The American Railway Company has begun to regret purchasing this oil mine in Yumen from the Chinese government.
The American Electric Company felt that it was at a loss when using such a poor oil mine to exchange the East-West Railway in China. They then asked the Chinese government to invest in the Karamay Oilfield. But Wang Maoru's reply to them was that it was OK to invest in the Karamay Oilfield, but the service life and delivery time of the railway had to be re-established, which made American companies hesitate again.
Li Wenbin, Director of the Secret Telegram Department, personally sent a secret telegram to Ren Yuanxing, the commander of the Western Region Military Region. After Ren Yuanxing received the plan, he laughed and said, "Before this battle is fought, we have already obtained the other party's combat plan. God helps me, God helps me! This battle will undoubtedly be won!"
Then Ren Yuanxing and Chief of Staff Zhu Yongquan immediately convened an order to deploy military forces, and made a re-adjustment in response to the opponent's advance knowledge of his own troops. During the meeting, Wang Jiejun, the commander of the Third Division, believed that he must not hold on to the Soviet Union and wait for the attack. Instead, he took the initiative to attack and let the Soviet Union taste our power. Chen Jiongming, the commander of the Jiaolong Army, believed that he should retreat head-on and slowly, and did not agree to take the initiative. Originally, our withdrawal from Central Asia was an excuse for the enemy to be too slow, and we should not give the enemy any excuses.
Chen Jiongming's speech made Wang Jiejun laugh disdainfully. Chen Jiongming said angrily: "Secretary Wang seems to have something to say."
Wang Jiejun curled his lips. He was like Chen Jiongming's retreat, and even looked down on this "civilian general". He said with a sarcastic sarcasm: "Mr. Chen, have you not seen it clearly? The Soviet Union is ready to fight a good battle with us. We won, and we created more than ten years of peace for China, and we lost. Perhaps the Soviet Union will immediately tear up the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty and drive straight forward, turning China into their yellow Russia."
Seeing Chen Jiongming's expression of disbelief, Chief of Staff Zhu Yongquan smiled and explained: "General Wang is right. Xiushou has long been expected to be in this battle. So we were prepared four years ago. The Soviet Union will definitely fight. We must fight, and we must fight. If we don't fight, we won't give up. Moreover, this is a battle that is destined to be unwritten into history. Maybe we will not make this battle public until ten years later. So, everyone, think about the countermeasures."
Hearing that Wang Maoru had expected this battle, Chen Jiongming narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion: "Since that is the case, why do we still have to sign the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty? Wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
Zhu Yongquan said: "The reason for signing the treaty is very simple. We want Russia to recognize that the land belongs to us. The purpose of this war is to be with us. We want Russia to realize that these lands are not only owned by us, but we can protect these lands and completely erase the idea that they think they can be taken away at will. We China are not children with huge sums of money, our national defense force is a beast that can kill us."
Since Ren Yuanxing served as the highest commander of the Western Region Military Region, another legion commander Chen Jiongming and Du Baosan became deputy commanders at this time, and he had to obey Ren Yuanxing's command and had no command power. Ren Yuanxing suggested changing the military power arrangement immediately. He believed that since the Soviet Eastern Army rashly entered the Klez Fortress with 15 divisions, we would use its recklessness to carry out an annihilation war on it. Then he ordered the 32nd Division to be the chief reserve team and stay in Almaty.
Only the 43rd Division was left in Balkashh, the provincial capital Akduka left behind the 38th Division and the 49th Division, and Chen Jiongming was responsible for the defense work of the entire taisie province. If the enemy wanted to enter the taisie province from Astana, they had to cross the desert and grassland without railways, and first faced the city of Balkashh. The Jiaolong Legion was replenishing its strength and with the assistance of the road and navigation troops, it was extremely delayed by the exhausted Russian expedition.
Ren Yuanxing ordered Du Baosan's Huanglong Legion to go south from the north to enter the Kleuz Fortress to replace the defense mission of the Third Division. Wang Jiejun's Third Division was not an army used as a defense at all, while Du Baosan's Huanglong Legion was better at defense. Although Zhao Hengxi's troops, the 39th Division under the Yellow Dragon Legion had just entered the Western Regions from Alashankou, the situation was urgent and they had to be responsible for this mission.
After the strongest Third Division under the White Tiger Legion withdrew from the Kizil Fortress, it moved towards the Chu River Basin east of the Kizil Fortress. After the war broke out, it encircled the Soviet Russian troops from the north of the Kizil Fortress.
Then the 16th Cavalry Division of the White Tiger Legion set out from Longcheng, crossed Tashkent and advanced along the Kolezikum Desert and the Sir River, and encircled the Soviet Russian troops on the south bank of the Sir River.
Ren Yuanxing led the 10th Division and the 31st Cavalry Division were stationed in Longcheng. After the battle was launched, when the Soviet army was dragged in front of the fortress, they immediately supported the railway.
The defensive arrangement of the Western Region Military Region was to use the Yellow Dragon Legion as bait to lure the main Soviet army to attack the fortress, and at the same time, two divisions were dispatched on the left and right wings to restrain the fortress, so that the enemy could only face the defense of the fortress head-on. Within the first three days of the battle, the enemy's troops were consumed. Then the 10th Division Qiao Sanbang Division and the 31st Cavalry Division Guo Bulu and Ronghai's generals rushed to the fortress and implemented a counter-encirclement of the enemy. The 16th Cavalry Division Makanlanti's troops were not only responsible for restraining the enemy, but also using their mobility to cut off the enemy's supplies.
The entire plan is the siege and counter-encirclement plan. Although the enemy has more troops, we have the advantage of railways and can continuously send supplementary soldiers into the fortress. In addition, the Army Air Force 1st Bombing Division, the Army Air Force 3rd Bombing Division, and the Army Air Force 4th Attack Fortress were also transferred to Longcheng. The Army Air Force 2nd Aircraft Transportation Fortress was directly sent to Taisi Province, and the Third Aircraft Fortress could observe the movements of the Klez Fortress at any time. Eight reconnaissance aircraft of the Road Aviation First Bombing Division and the Third Bombing Division also rotated to reconnaissance the enemy's movements, especially the movements along the Sir River. After all, in Kazakhstan, large-scale Soviet troops could not leave the water source to attack.
The key to this victory or defeat is the hardness of the Kizil Fortress. The bait of the Huanglong Legion is not only a bait, but also a stone that knocks off the enemy's front teeth. Although the number of soldiers in the Huanglong Legion is the smallest, the troops formed by the Shaanxi Army and the Hunan Army as the foundation are still troops from China's two most war-friendly areas. Ren Yuanxing also believes that handing over this most critical task to them is definitely the most suitable choice. Shaanxi people and Hunan people will not disappoint China.
When the commander of the Huanglong Army arrived at the Kizil Fortress, the division commander Du Baosan, accompanied by people, observed everything about the fortress, especially after visiting the four 260mm fortress cannons, he couldn't help but admire the Central Asian tiger king Jiejun.
This kid dared to contradict He Rufei, dared to destroy Chen Jiongming in person, and dared to shout to Ren Yuanxing, but he deserved the capital of arrogance. Look at the defense and the steep pass, this one and a half meter thick cement castle was attacked without any effort, and he also seized four fortress cannons intact. He would definitely not be able to do it himself.
What made Du Baosan even more admired was that Wang Jiejun's attack did not damage his troops, but instead took his subordinates. This gave him a great warning. He secretly told himself that in the future, he would not allow the opponent's spies to enter the city or fortress.
The Kizil Fortress is located on the east bank of the Sir River and is integrated with the Kizil Orda City. Two major railways in the north and south - now the northwest-direction railway is demolished, and only the railway to the southeast Tashkent, and this railway is completely in the hands of the Chinese National Defense Forces.
In addition to four fortress cannons, Cleuz Fortress also has six 206mm armored train cannons. Of course, it would be better if there were still shells. It is precisely because there were no shells that these armored trains could only be regarded as large mobile armored trains.
Du Baosan immediately ordered the removal of six waste guns without shells from the armored train, and installed twelve 12.7mm uc8 large-caliber heavy machine guns and six 75 field guns, making the six armored train heads into six moving heavy machine guns to strafuse bunkers and mobile turrets. At the same time, he ordered the gathering of only 30 tanks from the Yellow Dragon Legion to form a tank assault regiment, which was under the control of Luo Lin, the commander of the 114th Brigade. The four artillery units of the Yellow Dragon Legion were also concentrated by him, and he cooperated with four fortress cannons and six modified armored train cannons to carry out destructive attacks on the enemy.
At the same time, on the periphery of the Kizil Fortress, the Huanglong Legion built several defensive positions. The first one thousand meters away from Kizil Orda City was used as the first defensive position, and built a barbed wire machine gun array and bunker. The second defensive position was built five hundred meters behind the first defensive position. In the middle of the position, a horse pit that was ten kilometers long surrounded Kizil Orda City was dug, which was called a horse trench. Du Baosan even broke the position if he was contributed by the Soviet cavalry in the position, and so on.
The guards were a massacre, and this trench of horses was a grand gift for the Soviet cavalry. The third defensive position was to rely on the wall of Kizil Orda City, and the height of the wall was increased. Several trenches and a trench of horses were dug before the wall. If these three defensive positions were captured, the Chinese team could only stick to the Kizil Fortress, the three places in the Kizil Orda Municipal Government and the Railway Station, and the three places formed the triangular defense of equilateral triangles supported and supported each other. It can be said that this is the last bottom line in the city.
