To the west of the Alaska Pass, Drugepa is a small town adjacent to China in the Soviet government's Kazakh region. Kazakhs were a khanate before 1847. The Kazakh Kingdom composed of the Kazakhs has a long history of 377 years until it was annexed by Tsarist Russia in 1847.

After the revolution in Russia, Kazakhsky formed a Soviet regime and became a member of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Central had five divisions of infantry and a cavalry army in the Kazakh region, one division alone in the Drugepa region, and built solid fortifications. Especially after the Chinese government declared war on the Soviet Union last year, the Soviet Central Central mobilized two more divisions from the northern region to prevent the Chinese from attacking the Soviet from the Alashankou.

The Alasa Pass is located between the Alasa Mountains and the Tarbhatai Mountains. Since the Alasa Mountains are 450 kilometers long and the highest altitude is 4,464 meters, while the Tarbhatai Mountains are 300 kilometers long and the highest altitude is 2,992 meters high. It runs across the Sino-Soviet border. There is almost no second channel except the Alasa Pass. It can be said that this place is the only shortcut to directly enter the Soviet territory from the northwest part of China.

Of course, the Soviet central government in such an important region would not turn a blind eye. After the declaration of war between China and the Soviet Union, the Supreme Central Military Revolutionary Committee of the Soviet Union strengthened Drugeba's defensive power, increased from the original first regiment to the strength of a division, and also set up barracks in Zalbukra and Kizilagash in Lake Alah, forming a triangular overall defensive front with Drugeba. As long as the Chinese attacked from the Alashan Pass, Drugeba could use Ala Lake as the rear cover and receive rapid reinforcements from the left and right wings. In addition, the permanent fortifications that Drugeba had built, the entire defense line was as solid as a soul.

In the eyes of the Red Army commander, the defense of Alashan Pass is no problem. As long as the enemy dares to come, with their strong fortifications and solid rear, one division can block 100,000 frontal enemies with the strength of a division. You should know that although the terrain of Alashan Pass is flat, the terrain that may be convenient for large troops to attack is not wide, and too many troops cannot be deployed on the front. Moreover, the huge mountain partitions on both sides gave the Red Army great confidence.

"Damn the weather..." At 11:30 p.m. on March 11, at the outpost of Drugeba, a second lieutenant of the Red Army who had just returned from checking the post entered the warm military camp, and stomped his feet, which were already numb and numb.

"Don't blame Maxim, you're lucky compared to Igor." Seeing Maxim come back, Lieutenant Vladimir stood up from the fire, helped Maxim take off his heavy coat, and then handed him a cup of hot tea to warm him up.

"Poor Igor... I hope he won't freeze his hands and feet in such cold weather." Maxim smiled jokingly, took a sip of hot tea. Rubbed his hands and sat down by the fire, shook his head while roasting the fire: "Compared with Minks, the night here is too cold. It's almost mid-March, and the cold wind at night can still freeze blood into ice. Especially the strong winds outside are even more powerful than the cold wind in Siberia."

"This is normal. This is what this place is. You will get used to it in a few months." Vladimir comforted. The Alas Pass is a famous wind vent, with a huge temperature difference between day and night. Even in summer, it is normal for the weather to be more than 20 degrees between noon and midnight, not to mention that it is just the beginning of spring. Vladimir has been stationed in Drugepa for a whole year and has long been used to this capricious weather. It is normal for Maxim to be transferred from Belarus to such complaints.

"Is there any wine?" Maxim asked whispered after drinking the hot tea for a few sips.

Vladimir glared at him, but Maxim looked at him with no concern.

"Just half a bottle, don't drink too much!" Shaking his head helplessly, Vladimir turned around and took out a small black porcelain bottle from the wooden box under the camp bed. As soon as he saw the wine, Maxim's eyes glowed. He grabbed it and pulled it open the bottle and poured it into his mouth. He took a big sip and put it down and breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.

Getting the bottle back from Maxim's hand, Vladimir raised his head and took a sip, then asked, "What's wrong with the inspection?"

"What can happen? Everything is normal!" Maxim replied disapprovingly.

"It's better to be careful. You should know that we and the Chinese declared war last year, if they..."

"Haha! Chinese? They are yellow-skinned monkeys with pig tails behind their heads?" Maxim smiled and said, "If the White Bandits Army hadn't resisted stubbornly and the Far East had not been liberated, these Chinese would have been wiped out by our brave and invincible Red Army. How dare they come to seek death? Besides, declare war? Last year, the Chinese declared war on our Soviets with great fanfare, but what was the result? Still hiding at home like a woman, I dare not come out, I was afraid of us. These yellow-skinned monkeys were okay besides shouting verbally, and they wouldn't be our opponents if they really fought!"

"That's true." Vladimir nodded in agreement, but reminded him: "According to the instructions of his superiors, work should not be careless. This must be remembered. By the time the White Bandits in the Far East are solved, we may receive an order to destroy the Chinese. Then we will not have to stay stupid in this ghost place. I heard that women in the East are very good, petite, and have good skin...haha...hehe...hehe..."

Vladimir and Maxim showed a tacit smile when they talked about this. As proud Red Army soldiers, all they had in mind was the belief of eliminating everything from the Soviets to the enemy. In their opinion, the Chinese government and the Chinese National Defense Forces were simply paper tigers. If they had not ordered them to defend themselves and not leave the country, they would have been able to fight with them long ago. With the combat effectiveness of the great hero Red Army, only one army... No! One division could kill several or ten times more Chinese people. After occupying the entire territory of China, a new emerging huge empire armed with Bolshevikism would appear at the top of the world, liberating all mankind and completing the lofty ideal of world harmony.

Taking advantage of the excitement of drinking, Vladimir and Maxim became more and more excited when they talked unscrupulously, and they were still a little unsatisfied until they finished half a bottle of wine. Unfortunately, because the environment at the outpost was relatively difficult, they did not have much ability to get more wine, otherwise they would have to be drunk today.

It was already very late at night. In the warm room that was roasted by fire, and after drinking, the two of them gradually became sleepy when they were excited. They greeted each other and went to bed to rest. The lively barracks just now suddenly became quiet. Except for the slight sparks bursting out from time to time in the brazier in the center of the room, everything was so peaceful and quiet.

I was confused and didn't know how long it took. In my sleep, Maxim seemed to have returned to the barracks. He could only hear the whirring sound of wind in his ears. The wind was louder and louder, making him feel upset.

"Hu...buzz...hu...buzz..."

In his sleep, Maxim subconsciously pulled the quilt over his head, but he still couldn't stop the wind from yelling back and forth in his ears. Until finally, he couldn't help but wake up and cursed: "Damn the wind! Can't you stop for a while?"

As soon as the curse came out, Maxim, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly was stunned because he suddenly realized that he was not dreaming. There were indeed strange sounds outside, and the sound was dense, from far to near, becoming more and more harsh.

"What's going on? What's the sound?" At the same time, Vladimir woke up, and he asked in confusion with a sleepy eyes.

"I don't know, it seems to be coming from outside."

"Outside?" Vladimir was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up with his clothes: "Go out and take a look."

Put on their coats and then on their coats. Before they could put on their boots, they could only hear a sound of touching them. They looked up and saw the officer on duty Igor, the second lieutenant on duty, rushed in in panic.

“Quick…quick…quick…quick…quick….”

Igor's face was full of horror, and he raised his hand and pointed outside and gasped.

"What's going on? Did the yellow-skinned monkey with pigtails on the opposite side have been called? OK! It's just right, let's give them some color!" Maxim asked casually. Seeing Igor nodding desperately, he suddenly became excited: "Comrades! What are you afraid of! The brave and invincible Soviet Red Army is invincible! Haha! Finally, you can fight, let them tremble under our guns! Come on! Comrades! Long live the Soviet! Long live the Red Army!"

Excessively excited Maxim put on his boots, picked up the rifle hanging on the wall, and danced with red faces over there. And Igor looked at him like a fool.

"What a big deal happened! The Chinese did call him, but it was in the air! In the air!"

"In the air?" Vladimir and Maxim were stunned and looked at each other and couldn't understand what Igor was saying. How could the Chinese be in the air? Could they be the angels of God and Earth?

The answer was unraveled until they walked out of the barracks and looked up at the sky. Igor was right. The Chinese were indeed in the air. The sky was densely covered with planes, and they rushed straight from the southeast like dark clouds. As the planes flew closer, the rumbling engines sounded. When they walked out of the barracks, dozens of extremely large planes had already jumped over their heads and headed back. After that, countless planes followed one after another, and there were countless numbers of them.

“This…this….”
