The time has come to 1919. Since the beginning of the year, the Russian Civil War has been in full swing, and the war has become more and more intense.
On the eastern front, in March Kolchak mobilized 400,000 White Guards in Siberia to cross the Ural Mountains and invade the Volga River Basin. In the Far East, Japanese intervention forces landed in Vladivostok.
On the southern front, the British and French combined fleet entered the Black Sea, French marines landed in Odessa, and British intervention forces occupied Baku. Denikin in the Caucasus received 100,000 weapons and equipment from the United States and 200 British military advisers and began to march northward. He occupied Tsaritsyn at the end of June, marched to Moscow in July, and occupied the Donbass region and Kiev in October.
On the Western Front, the British fleet invaded the Baltic Sea, and Yudenich's White Army launched an attack on Petrograd in mid-May.
Russia¡¯s third front line is in crisis. Because the Trans-Siberian Railway was occupied by the White Army, the east and west were cut into two sections, making it impossible to take care of both the beginning and the end. After the Fengtian government took this opportunity to control the North Manchuria Railway, it also controlled the economic lifeline and strategic fulcrum of the entire province of Heilongjiang. There was only one remaining Russian stronghold in China: Hulunbuir.
The Hulunbuir area originally belonged to Heilongjiang.
Manzhouli, the first station at the western end of the North-Manchuria Railway, is a border city between China and Russia. It was originally called "Holkin Prague", which means "strong spring" in Mongolian. After the western line of the China-Eastern Railway was completed in 1901, a railway station was built here. Because it was the first station for Russia to enter Northeast China (commonly known as Manchuria at the time), it was called "Manzhouli Station", which is "Manzhouli Station" in Russian and "Manzhouli Station" in Chinese. "Manzhouli" was put under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang Province and Lubin Prefecture was established. It was abolished in the early Republic of China and the entire territory of Hulun was changed.
From January 15, 1912, Tsarist Russia encouraged Hulunbuir to "independence" and succeeded, to November 6, 1915, China and Russia signed the "China-Russia Meeting on Hulunbuir Conditions" in Beijing, also known as the "Hulun Treaty", the Beiyang Policy Until the government revoked its independent status, it has been under the actual control of Tsarist Russia for nearly four years. Although the treaty nominally states that "Hulunbuir is designated as a special area and is directly under the control of the central government," in fact Tsarist Russia still enjoys full privileges there.
Politically speaking, the deputy governor, the highest official, enjoys the "powers of the provincial governor" and is only "supervised by the governor of Heilongjiang", but administratively it is parallel and must be "directly appointed by the president to select a third-rank or above Mongolian member in the place"; Although it is stipulated that "if the officials believe that the local area is unclear and unable to suppress it, the Central | Central Committee can send troops there," but "the Russian government must be notified first" to legalize Russian intervention;
Recognizing the illegal rights and interests of more than 50 economic contracts signed by former Russian businessmen and the "autonomous government"¡ª¡ª"Russian entrepreneurs entered into contracts with Hulunbuir officials, and those contracts that were reviewed by the Chinese and Russian committees, China The government should recognize it immediately¡± and ¡°for the future construction of railways, the loans must first go to Russia¡±¡
This is a concession that is not a concession, because "the Chinese in Hulunbuir only have the right to borrow land." This word "borrow" is clever, but it turns out that foreigners are landlords and Chinese are tenants.
" Taking advantage of his illness and killing him, this is a golden opportunity. We can take this opportunity to wipe out Russia's power in the Northeast in one fell swoop. And if Tongliao, Xing'an League, and Hulunbuir are captured, they will be connected with the three northeastern provinces. What a broad prospect it will be!
Just after the New Year, Zhang Hanqing put forward a proposal to regain Hulunbuir. Speaking of which, in addition to the rare opportunity, this strategic idea also has a lot to do with considering one's own direct lineage.
Because of the natural advantage of the young marshal, Zhang Hanqing made many big moves in just over two years, showing his sharpness and already surpassing the giants in the Fengxian. The interests of the Northeast are limited. Now the People's Party has blossomed in the entire region and has intervened in many administrative affairs. Military resources such as arsenals and martial arts halls are also in his hands. In this way, the old Fengcheng faction's milk raccoon dogs are all in trouble. When he is in a bowl alone, there will naturally be people who are dissatisfied.
Although he would not object to Zhang Hanqing's actions, he gradually started to backlash on some matters, especially the military power that was related to life. There was fierce competition overt and covert. As the old coach, Zhang Zuolin is a bowl of water, and everyone shares the benefits. Basically, the Northeast has formed a three-point situation in which Wu Junsheng, Sun Liechen, and Zhang Zuoxiang each lead one province. As a rising star, Zhang Hanqing and his young marshal team have never been able to legitimately keep pace with these veteran marshals due to their seniority. After all, they can't look too ugly.
Under this situation, if Zhang Hanqing wants to make a breakthrough, he will definitely take food from them. In the early stage of the Fengxian Faction, which is not yet full-fledged, such internal disputes are unnecessary.
But passively waiting for the situation to change is not a good strategy. Zhang Hanqing, who has a large number of troops, has the idea of ????expanding outwards, and the north is a good breakthrough point. When discussing the current situation with senior officials of the Feng Faction, he believed that there were four advantages that were enough to achieve maximum results at minimum cost:
¡°Russia is trapped inIn the war, there is no spare power to protect the original sphere of influence in China, and the risk is minimal. This is one;
The Japanese are wandering in Siberia in the north. If they control Hulunbuir, they can ensure the peace of the northwest region. It is like a sharp knife guarding the connection between Mongolia, Siberia and the Far East. These are two;
The Hulunbuir garrison is weak and has great confidence in success. These are three;
The most important thing is that this is Chinese territory and it has responsibilities both internally and externally. "
Most of the military and political officials of the Feng Faction agreed with this, and Wu Junsheng, who had participated in suppressing bandits in this area and had become the governor of Heilongjiang, strongly supported it. He said: "Hulunbuir was originally going to be under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang Province, but I just let Lao Maozi snatch it away. Ahem, I, Wu Datongue, have always been dissatisfied. Now that we have strong troops and strong horses, we can take it down in one go and put an end to Lao Maozi's thoughts."
"Old Wu was afraid of the Japanese, but not the Russian devils. Because recently many of the down-and-out Belarusians have come to the Northeast to seek life. Once these nobles of heaven fall, that's all. Although it is not to the point of begging, it is not uncommon for men to fall down and women to fall into disgrace on the streets of Harbin. In Wu Junsheng's house, there was a very beautiful white Russian aristocratic lady who was more capable than Chinese women.
Once a person has a psychological advantage, his courage will arise spontaneously. The key is that he has the strength of two divisions. It is every warlord's dream to have the opportunity to expand his territory. In order to gain his support, Zhang Hanqing had promised in advance that after taking control of Hulunbuir, he would still place the area under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang Province. How could Lao Wu not praise it highly but praise it very much?
"The young marshal is right, take advantage of now to take back all the sites that Mao Zi robbed. After passing this village, there will be no more shops like this!"
Among the three major factions, Wu Junsheng was the first to agree. Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang, who were good friends with Zhang Hanqing, would never object. Some members of the Feng Faction were still wary because Hulunbuir was within Russia's sphere of influence, but they became active after Zhang Hanqing explained the situation in Soviet Russia.
The strength of the Northeastern Fengjun, which has established an eight-division structure, has expanded rapidly and is in urgent need of relief. However, the two special regions west of Shanhaiguan and north of Rehe and Chahar are controlled by the Anhui clique. Duan Qirui, the leader of the Anhui clique, is now the Prime Minister of the government. The "Anfu Congress" under the control of the Anhui clique has elected Xu Shichang of the Anhui clique as its leader. The president, legally and physically, cannot step outside the border with the military. Only Liaobei, which has fallen into a state of neglect, is most likely to be conquered by Feng's army.
The Fengjun generals were too uncertain about whether the dispute in northern Liaoning would cause a backlash between Japan and the Soviet Union. Only Zhang Hanqing clearly understood the general trend of history during this period: taking advantage of Japan and Soviet Union to bite dogs, and seizing every opportunity to create a fait accompli was the most important. He spared no effort to lobby the top officials, repeatedly stating that the Japanese were unable to interfere with the Fengjun's actions, and that the Soviet Union had no time to care. This was a good time to regain its territory.
Zhang Zuolin was also very tempted to expand the power of the Feng clique. He was also decisive. Sun Liechen, the former deputy commander-in-chief of the Fengjun Army, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of this military operation to coordinate all armies, and Zhang Hanqing was the commander-in-chief of the front line.
Sun Liechen used part of the Heilongjiang Wanfulin 29th Division to attack Zhalantun from Qiqihar northwest along the North Manchuria Railway. The use of troops this time reflects the benefits of controlling the traffic lifeline in one's own hands. With the cooperation of the station staff, all the baggage and personnel were reloaded and entered Zhalantun with lightning speed.
After easily taking it, we continued westward to Yakeshi and had a fierce battle with the 18th Cavalry Brigade of the Hulunbuir Special Region Troops who first reacted in the Hailar River. Wan Fulin's troops were not willing to fight. Except for one group to block the attack, most of them rushed westward to seize the road and approach Hylar. The purpose of the 18th Brigade was to harass and delay Fengjun's attack. After being forced back to the north bank of the river by the fierce firepower of Wanbu, they did not know the true situation and did not dare to press too hard. They confronted Fengjun's rear troops across the river.
The Guards Division used surprise troops to get off from the Pingqi Railway via Baicheng and headed north to Ulanhot, and then attacked Aershan overnight. In order to consolidate the results, the 1, 23, 27, and 28 divisions were all guarding the Japanese in various places in Liaoning, and the 16 and 30 divisions were guarding Jilin. In this way, especially the area north of Kuanchengzi was completely defended by the Feng army to strangle the Japanese. Any thoughts and actions to advance north; in the relatively safe Black Province, only one division of the 29th Division and one security division are enough.
In this way, the only mobile troops are the Guard Division, and the 29th Division can also go out partially if possible. In the battle of Hulunbuir, these two troops will be the main force.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The giant steel dragon roiling rapidly on the banks of the Taoshui River, the trickling sound of the clear river water was masked by the gasps and footsteps of people. In the early morning, a regiment of the Aershan garrison was disarmed sleepily in the camp.
After taking Aershan, the connection between the north and south of the Xing'an League was completely cut off, so that the entire Tongliao was surrounded in three directions: west, east and north.
The Guards entered Tongliao territory from Fuxin, occupied the Naiman Banner, and then advanced northward, successively captured the Xiliao River and Xinkai River, and besieged Kailu to cut off the westward retreat route of the Tongliao garrison. There were not many troops stationed in Tongliao, and the retreat was blocked, so the defenders quickly surrendered.
Three days later, the Guard Division occupied the two major cities of Liaoyuan and Xing'anling, and the forward troops of the 29th Division had reached the gates of Hailar City.
Fengjun¡¯s military operations in Hulunbuir and Xing¡¯an League quickly alarmed the Soviet Russian government. Soviet Russia inherited Tsarist Russia's interests in Hulunbuir, and of course was unwilling to sit back and watch the Fengjun occupy Hohhot. Barodlov, the Russian commercial plenipotentiary in Hulunbuir, was ordered to protest against the Fengjun action.
