Chapter 975 Chinese Army Casualty Report
During the entire Battle of Heart of Central Asia, dozens of large-scale battles such as the Battle of Kizil, including the Ares Salt Marsh Ambush, Chuhe Ambush, Snow Wolf Valley Ambush, Balkashh Blocking War, Leozek Attack, Semipalatinsk Blocking War, Tashkent Riot, Kizil Decisive Battle and other major battles occurred in Taixi Province, Anxi Province, Xinjiang Province, Kazakh Khanate, Kashmir and other places. The total number of casualties of Chinese soldiers was 70,561, 36,251 injured, 33,658 killed, and 652 captured after serious injuries, including:
After the battle of the 19th Infantry Regiment supported by the Third Division (Wang Jiejun's troops), there were only 331 people left. The Third Division, including the 13th Infantry Brigade, suffered a total of more than 6,000 deaths.
The 10th Division (Qiao Sanbain's unit) suffered less than a thousand casualties.
The Sixteenth Cavalry Division (Makanlandi tribe) killed 5,000 people.
More than 3,000 people were killed in the 39th Division (Cheng Qian's unit).
The 91st Cavalry Brigade of the 32nd Division (Song Zheyuan's tribe) suppressed the rebellion of the Tashkent rebellion, with more than 1,500 casualties.
The 94th Brigade of the 33rd Division (Xu Shuzheng's troops) suffered less than 1,000 casualties.
Six armed police units in the Western Regions suffered two thousand casualties.
The most serious loss to the Chinese team was the Huanglong Army of the 16th Army. When they set off from Almaty to Kizil Fortress, they had a total of 38,000 people. At the same time, they were equipped with two teaching regiments of 4,000 people, totaling 4,200 people. The Huanglong regiment of the 16th Army of the 16th Army of the 16th Army of the Kizil Fortress (29th Division, 39th Division) was killed in 19,000 people, and all four infantry regiments were killed in the battle. The 4,000 people of the two reserve supplementary regiments were basically killed in the battle. After the war, only 19,000 wounded soldiers were left in the army.
The Huanglong Legion was injured and held the Kizil Fortress. The Red Army of the Soviet Empire severely damaged it, forcing the Soviet Union to change its attitude towards China again. It prevented it from easily treating the current Republic of China as it did with its Qing Empire. They used their lives to bring China more than ten years of peaceful development time.
Although the number of casualties in the Soviet army was only one-third of the opponent. However, this was the casualties based on the Chinese team's air superiority, firepower advantage, and defense advantage. Of course, due to insufficient preparation in the later stage, the Chinese defenders' artillery fire did not have an advantage. Moreover, this battle almost destroyed a quarter of the national defense ammunition reserves of the Chinese National Defense Force, which shows the fierceness of this battle. The Soviet army's morale, courage, and even the experience of officer command. The soldiers' combat experience is stronger than that of China.
Among them, the Sino-British battle on the Sino-Indian border on the southern Kashmir battlefield was the most unexpected. Under the command of British officials, 4,000 Indian soldiers entered Kashmir again. The herders had long heard the news and reported it to the China side. Xu Shuzheng's troops stationed in the Pamir Plateau immediately dispatched to fight and defeated the Indian army again. This battle completely destroyed the confidence of the Indians. No matter how the officers should drive them away, Indian soldiers would never dare to step into Kashmir again.
Although the British have repeatedly ambitions to perish, fortunately Xu Shuzheng, a Beiyang talent, is working hard to ensure Kashmir is not lost.
On the battlefield in the northern Taixi Province, Cheng Qian's troops and Yuan Zuming's troops completed their missions perfectly and severely injured the Soviet army. Cheng Qian's two regiment commanders, He Yunfei, 27, and Peng Sai-shi, 25, shined in this battle, showing the courage and tenacity of Hunanese people.
Finally, the victory was won. In fact, Wang Maoru, who had a calm expression, wanted to shout out loudly. This was a victory that truly belonged to the Chinese. This was the most direct arm wrestling between China and the Soviet Empire, and it was a tragic victory. The Chinese and ** people used their sacrifice to slap the Soviet Empire loudly in the face, which also made them understand clearly. The power of the Western Regions Military Region alone was enough to cause the Eastern Army of the Soviet Empire to collapse.
At this time, the Kizil Fortress was blood flowing into a river. Flies and insects were everywhere, and the stench of dead people could be smelled ten miles away.
In Kizil, the Chinese team captured 63,000 Soviet prisoners of war, but most of these prisoners were wounded, but they were divided into serious injuries and minor injuries. The minor injuries were nothing, but the serious injuries still needed Chinese people to rescue them. When the Soviet army fled, they stayed and caused certain difficulties to the Chinese. What should we do if these Soviet prisoners were captured?
Not only were there wounded soldiers in the Soviet army, but there were tens of thousands of wounded soldiers in the China ** team at this time. Among the 19,000 survivors of the 16th Legion, nearly two thousand were seriously injured, and the rest of the soldiers were almost wounded. Even the commander of the corps Du Baosan was almost buried and crushed to death by the house that collapsed, let alone others. Looking at the 16th Legion, no soldier had no scar on his body. Even the army's glasses documents became a tough glasses officer after this battle.
Ren Yuanxing secretly asked Wang Maoru how to deal with the enemy's wounded prisoners. Our medicine and food were insufficient. If it was used for the prisoners, it would delay the treatment of his soldiers. However, if it was not treated, these Soviet prisoners would think that we abused them.
Wang Maoru thought for a while and said, "I informed the Soviet side that they could rush to Kizil to receive the wounded. The Chinese team will release some of the wounded. I hope the Soviet government will send troops without weapons to take away the wounded. You can also tell the Soviet soldiers that they can leave to Ascana on their own. The Soviet Empire has reassembled the new Eastern Army there. We do not need prisoners, but we will not abuse the prisoners. If the negotiations are completed, we Chinese will mercilessly release all prisoners of war."
Ren Yuanxing took the telegram and Zhu Yongquan as if he was looking at it, and couldn't help but give out his thumbs up and said intimately: "Gao, it's really high. These wounded prisoners of war want to cross the Karakum Desert, cross the Uletao Mountain, and return to Ascana - I don't know how many people will be left."
We have freed all prisoners of war, but you may not necessarily walk back alive.
In Astana, the depressed Buluheer knew that this defeat had ruined his military career, and he shouldn't have recklessly come to this head-on war with the Chinese team. The Chinese occupied the time, the geographical and the peace of the people, set up a big pocket for the Soviet army, and defeated themselves with just two legions, which made the entire Soviet Empire very afraid of China.
When the remnants of the Soviet army had not yet arrived in Ascana, the removal order from the Supreme Military Commission of Moscow had been issued, and Buluhell was relieved of all military and political positions. Due to the death of the Second Political Commissar Bostshev, the First Political Commissar Melinikov was arrested by Chika and was also removed from all positions. At this time, General Saragaev, who led five infantry divisions and a cavalry division in Astana, served as the new commander-in-chief of the Eastern Army.
In a prison in Astana, Saragaev came to visit his old boss. He sighed and said to Buluhell: "General, I think after returning to Moscow, you will be the person in charge of this failure. I don't know when I will see you again."
"Yes, because I lost to the yellow race." Buluhell said with a wry smile.
"In fact, I think we were defeated too strange in this battle," Saragaev said seriously. "After returning to Astana, I thought about it carefully. In the past twenty days of the entire battle, whether it was my cluster, the Serishev cluster, or every action you had, the Chinese were expecting it early. Don't you find it strange? We were like we were acting down the noses of the Chinese."
"Their reconnaissance aircraft play a big role," said Buluhell. "So I would recommend vigorously developing the Air Force reconnaissance aircraft."
"No! No! No!" Saragaev said, "I'm not talking about planes. I'm talking about our action plan. Our feint attack was defeated in the middle. How did they know that we were feint attacking? And our main attack at the Kizil Fortress encountered the Chinese defense like iron walls. As far as I know, the Chinese artillery fire did not stop every day. Don't you find it strange? Why did the Chinese reserve so many shells there? They must have learned about our combat plan and deliberately attracted our main force in the Kizil Fortress, and then sent troops to surround us."
Buluhell sat on a stone chair, clasped his hands tightly, and said excitedly: "You mean... there is an insider, someone betrayed the great Soviet regime?"
"It must be like this." Saragaev said viciously, "We have impure people mingled into our team. I think we should suggest to the Party Central Committee that we must conduct a comprehensive search of the army, carry out anti-counterfeiting, and must be eliminated."
After a while, Buluhel said: "Comrade Saragaev, I hope you can protect other officers in this battle. It is my responsibility to lose this battle, but I do not want other officers to be implicated and die."
Saragaev nodded and said, "General, don't worry, I will protect them."
Buluhel smiled bitterly and comfortably. This responsibility needs to be borne by himself. But Buluhel thought the problem too simply. Someone needs to be responsible for the defeat of the Heart of Central Asia, but General Buluhel's shoulders are too light to bear this responsibility. The Soviet Empire also needs a role with hard shoulders to bear, and this person is Trotsky.
Two days later (June 4), Stalin, together with Bukharin and Kamenev, launched a political attack on Trotsky at the meeting of the Supreme Military Commission of Moscow. The reason for the attack was that Trotsky's initiative in Asia was that the Soviet army lost 190,000 elite Soviet troops.
