Beiyang reactionaries

In fact, many details have not been fully negotiated, or many details are too late to negotiate.But the Soviet Union was more anxious, and Zhukov really couldn't hold on.Because people starve to death, freeze to death every day, and it is getting worse.This reduction in the number of troops in the army is increasing, which seriously affects the morale of Zhukov's army.This is also a result of China having slowed down its air strikes.

If China continues to maintain large air strikes, then the situation on Zhukov's side is even more serious.

So the Soviet Union is very eager to resolve the current war with China.

On November 11, after China and the Soviet Union issued a joint statement, Moscow formally ordered Zhukov to lay down his arms. On November 15, as the commander of the Soviet Far East Military Region, Zhukov signed an armistice agreement with Li Yunlong, the front-line commander-in-chief of the Northeast Military Region. Beginning in the morning of November 11th, the Soviet Movement Military District began to hand over the positions in their hands to the Chinese army one after another, giving up their weapons.

According to the agreement, China will make proper arrangements as long as the Soviet troops lay down their weapons.Give them food first, and then arrange their places to live in batches.Although the armistice agreement was signed, Li Yunlong was still very cautious.

Li Yunlong paid great attention to restraining the troops, and must not have any problems during the handover process.Don't provoke the Soviet army who handed over their weapons. The most important thing is to complete the task smoothly.Zhukov is more cautious in this regard.

Although the troops of the Far Eastern Military Region were suffering from hunger and cold, Zhukov still governed the army very strictly.All of these people followed the original steps, handing over their weapons one by one, and surrendering their positions one by one.There was no confusion.

But after all, there are a lot of troops.

This time, the number of the Far Eastern Army who handed in their guns was about 26. Including some other agencies, the number is very large.It took three full days before the Chinese army took over all the Soviet positions, and the vanguard entered Khabarovsk.

After completing these, China continued to fulfill its commitments.

On November 11, the 21rd Brigade of the [-]st Red Banner Army of the Soviet Union boarded the train as the first troops to leave.Zhukov himself came to see them off.Although Moscow has a high opinion of Zhukov, and Stalin is ready to meet Zhukov in person.

But Zhukov was not the first to leave.

As the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Military Region, Zhukov was very frustrated.The final result was to hand over the guns, although the name sounded good, and an armistice agreement was signed.But Zhukov knew that this was no different from surrender.As a soldier, Zhukov considered this a disgrace.

Therefore, he had to bring this army back intact.

Zhukov has already formulated the order in which the troops leave, and Zhukov is ready to continue negotiations with China.If the troops captured in the Battle of Vladivostok (Vladivostok) and the troops that surrendered in Blagoveshchensk (Hailanpao) can be brought back.

"Commander Lee."

After arranging the first group of people to retreat, Zhukov came to find Li Yunlong.It is not so easy for a brigade of troops to evacuate, even by using the railway.Moreover, starting from Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk), passing through Chita, Ulan-Ude, and Irkutsk, all need to be coordinated.

These cannot be handled by Zhukov alone, and require the cooperation of China.

Troop withdrawal is easier said than done.It is very difficult for hundreds of thousands of troops to evacuate in less than a few months.This is still under the circumstances of China's active cooperation.If there is a slight problem, or heavy snow covers the railway, then the departure of these troops will be slower.

Although they are all captives, they have different ranks and different treatment.Zhukov is the commander of the Far East Military Region, so his actions will not be too restricted.Moreover, he is also qualified to seek access to senior Chinese military officials at any time.

"General Zhukov, I don't know if I have something to ask for."

There are hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops, and Zhukov is needed to stabilize them.After all, those people were all from military backgrounds, and it would be bad if they "riot" if they didn't pay attention a little bit.And for Zhukov's ability, China also recognizes it.The defeat in this battle was the defeat of the entire Soviet army command, and the failure of the entire Soviet army command concept, not Zhukov's personal failure.Therefore, Li Yunlong's attitude towards Zhukov is still very friendly.

"Commander Li, we have laid down our weapons in accordance with the agreement and started to withdraw slowly. But we are not the troops that surrendered. When our troops go back, can you return our weapons to us?"

"arms?"

Li Yunlong shook his head slightly.

Said: "General Zhukov, I didn't mean to embarrass you on purpose. Detaining your army's weapons is also for our mutual safety and stability. I think it is better for your army not to have weapons. This is good for both of us."

"Commander Li, I don't want weapons right now. What I mean is, can those troops who go back leave with weapons. Your army can withhold ammunition, which can also reassure your army."

This is Zhukov's wish.

An army without weapons and equipment is nothing.

shame.

Therefore, he hoped that when he returned with his troops, he could at least bring some weapons back with him.For the sake of safety, it is impossible for the Chinese army to give ammunition.Being able to bring some weapons back, Zhukov felt that at least he still had some face.

"this……?"

Li Yunlong hesitated.

This is not something he, the frontline commander, can decide.So Li Yunlong thought for a while and said, "General Zhukov, I can report to my superiors what you said, and see how they decide. But I hope General Zhukov can be mentally prepared, because it may be difficult to agree."

"Thank you, Commander Li."

"Secretary Tang, what do you think of this matter?"

Shenyang.

Zhukov found Li Yunlong and expressed his request.Li Yunlong is only the deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region and the commander-in-chief of the front line, so it is impossible for him to decide on his own.So immediately told Shenyang Zhukov's request.

Li Yunlong's telegram came to Shenyang and arrived in the hands of Shang Zhen, commander of the Northeast Military Region.After Shang Zhen read the telegram, he couldn't decide on his own.Shang Zhen is a very cautious general.As the commander of the Northeast Military Region, Shang Zhen has been in the Northeast for more than 15 years. This is not a very normal thing.

In a centralized country, it is not a good thing for a general to occupy the place for too long.Not to mention the army, even in the political arena, it is taboo for a person to occupy a place for too long, let alone a general.

Military issues have always been the most sensitive matters.

The group of important military generals who fought with Duan Xun back then are now all sitting in one side, holding important power or holding heavy soldiers.But among these people, Shang Zhen is the only commander who has occupied the place for more than ten years.

Who were the important generals of Duan Xun in his early years?

Li Jishen was the number one general under Duan Xun back then, and he was the most important general since Duan Xun was in Western Henan, and he was also the general who controlled Duan Xun's most direct line of troops.However, Li Jishen was no longer in the army, and it had been ten years since he left the army.Although he currently serves as the vice chairman of the military committee, he does not actually participate in the specific work of the military committee.Just to coordinate the military and the Construction Corps.However, Li Jishen is already a member of the Standing Committee of the People's Party and has entered the core position of Chinese politics.

Apart from Li Jishen, the first general, Duan Xun should trust the Chief of Staff Jiang Hongyu the most.Jiang Hongyu is now the deputy prime minister of the cabinet and a core figure in Chinese politics.

Except for them, the next few generals are basically on an equal footing.

Fang Dingying, Shang Zhen, Yu Xuezhong, Wan Xuancai who followed Duan Xun in western Henan, and Liu Xiang who joined in Sichuan, these people became the core figures in Duan Xun's army.For a while, each of them sat on one side.

Below them, Tang Shengzhi, Zhang Zizhong, and Wang Tianpei who followed Duan Xun in Western Henan, Wang Kai (commander-in-chief) from the Yunnan Army, and Hu Jingyi, Yang Hucheng, and Li Yunlong from the Shaanxi Army are also important generals.

However, these generals have been transferred a lot over the years, and it is basically impossible for them to be in only one position.

Among several important generals, Fang Dingying had already left Guangdong to serve in the Military Commission.Yu Xuezhong was originally the commander of the North China Military Region, but now he is transferred to the Southwest Military Region.Wan Xuancai was in the Central Plains Military Region before, but now he is in the Southeast Military Region.Liu Xiang was in the East China Military Region before, but now he has gone to the Xinjiang Military Region.

So are those below.

These years have been mobilized a lot, from the military region I am familiar with to the new military region, and there are very few generals who have served in one place for more than ten years.But only one person, Shang Zhen, the commander of the Northeast Military Region, has stayed in the Northeast for more than 15 years.When the Second Zhiwan War broke out that year, when the troops defeated the Guanfeng Army, Shang Zhen led the troops from Suiyuan to Rehe.Later, when the Feng army was dealt with and entered the Northeast, it was Shang Zhen who brought a large army to the Northeast.Since then, Shang Zhen has been sitting in the northeast.Of course, it is mainly because of the special situation in the Northeast and the greatest pressure, so a stable environment is needed.Therefore, it is not easy to adjust the troops too much, and a general who is familiar with this place is needed to sit in charge.

The East must guard against Japan, and the North must guard against the Soviet Union.

Therefore, after Shang Zhen became the commander of the Northeast Military Region, he never moved.

However, as the relationship between China and Japan eased, the main enemy of the Northeast Military Region became the Soviet Union.Now that the Sino-Soviet war is over, China has won a complete victory in this period.At this time, Shang Zhen certainly had to think more.

Shang Zhen is only 52 years old.

If you continue to stay in the Northeast Military Region, or if you are nostalgic for the authority of the Northeast Military Region, it will do you no good.With a million troops from the Northeast Military Region in his hand, and being so close to the capital, it's not the same thing.

So from the end of the war, Shang Zhen thought about his future.

It is definitely not a good thing to continue to stay in the Northeast.

At this time, he dared not be careless in the slightest.Now I can be regarded as successful and famous, but also have too many military achievements, maybe it will make people jealous.So Shang Zhen was very careful when dealing with everything.Don't let Beijing feel that he has been in the Northeast for too long and is used to making decisions arbitrarily.Once such an impression is left on Beijing, it will cut off the future of the army.
