Hearing that Chang Ruiqing had made up his mind to investigate the Soviet spies, Zhang Guotao and Ren Yijiang no longer persuaded each other. Anyway, no matter how much this Soviet spy was caught, he would not be caught, because Zhang Guotao was probably one of the people Trotsky hated the most in the world, and it could not be Trotsky's first group of followers. Although he was not capable of conducting spies, he had no problem with loyalty. He was in charge of the secret bureau of the domestic counter-espionage. Only he would arrest others, and no one would arrest him as a Soviet spy!

However, the two spies did not intend to get up and leave, because they were here to report their work to Chang Ruiqing. This job was to support some Muslim exiled to China to form a group to go to Central Asia of the Soviet Union.

"Chairman, this is General Zhong Zhijie from the Central Asia Branch of our National Intelligence Agency, submitting a report on the Soviet authorities' suppression of Islamic forces in Central Asia." Zhang Guotao first took out a stack of documents and photos from a file bag and handed them to Chang Ruiqing: "Chairman, the Soviet GCD is now implementing a policy of eliminating all religious forces in China. After completely suppressing the Christian forces, starting from the end of last year, Muslim sects in Central Asia and the Transcaucasus region have also become the target of the Soviet People's Internal Affairs Ministry's focus on crackdowns. A large number of sectarian leaders and imams were sentenced to death, and some religious believers were arrested or exiled. However, it is also true that the Muslim sects were also punished by the Soviet Union's People's Committee for Internal Affairs. A large number of sectarian leaders and imams were sentenced to death, and some religious believers were arrested or exiled.

Many people escaped the pursuit of Soviet internal affairs and fled into foreign provinces in China. Moreover, under the high pressure of the Soviet GCD, the originally moderate sects were either eliminated or disbanded on their own. The remaining ones who still insisted on religious activities were radical fanatics. There were many such fanatics who fled to our country, the most influential one was a Shiite imam named Muhammad Yusuf, who was 38 years old. Before the World War, he studied in a seminary in Arak, Persia and received guidance from Ayatollah (the title, meaning a sign of Allah) Abdul Karim Haeri Yazidi.

Chairman, you see, this is a photo of Muhammad Yousuf. The one with a big beard in his headscarf is his wife and children. This guy has four wives and more than a dozen dolls. Now they are all under our control.

This photo is Abu Qasim Kasney, a disciple of Muhammad Yousuf. His father is a tribal leader of Kazakhstan. He once served in the Tsarist army and also attended a regular military academy. When the Red Army first arrived in Central Asia, he once brought up a team to fight with the Red Army. After his failure, he hid in the east and later fled to Afghanistan. He is said to have a good relationship with the leaders of the local sect. He entered our territory at the beginning of this year, and now he is in our control with his teacher Muhammad Yousuf...

In addition, Mr. Chang, who had just arrived in Kuwait, said in a telegram that Reza Khan is 'secularization' in Persia, and many respected Muslim religious people have gone into exile to Iraq and gathered in Baghdad and Najaf. Mr. Chang has established contact with some of them and is preparing to recommend some people to join Hezbollah..."

Zhang Guotao's explanation was very careful, and he told all the personal experiences of several Muslim religious leaders who were preparing to act as the leader of Hezbollah. Chang Ruiqing nodded with satisfaction: "It's great, just use these people. But you can't just doubt people. By the way, the foreign countries are mainly Han people, right? You should also pay attention to the religious situation there to see if you want to sponsor some mainland temples and Taoist temples to develop there? Okay. Let's do it for now."

Zhang Guotao and Ren Yijiang received Chang Ruiqing's instructions, and nodded in agreement with a smile. Then they said goodbye. When they walked out of the door, they saw Chang Ruiqing's guard chief Chen Cheng trot in all the way, and greeted them with a smile on the way. When Chen Cheng ran into Chang Ruiqing's office, he first calmed his breath, and then he shouted respectfully: "Report!"

Chang Ruiqing was sitting at the table reviewing the official documents. When he saw that it was Chen Cheng coming in, he smiled and said, "It's a simplified work. Is there anything important?" Chen Cheng took a step forward and whispered: "The Northwest Military and Political Committee of Lanzhou is urgently telegramming that Jinta County has been recovered. Air Force reconnaissance found that a large gang of bandits was retreating along the Heishui River and will soon enter Mongolian Province."

“How many people are there?”

"About 15,000 people! It seems that their backbones are already gathered together!"

...

It was already the early winter season when the north wind was howling, and the vast Badain Jilin Desert was stern. Although the cold wind was like a blade, the march was still smooth. On this desolate land on the edge of the Badain Jilin Desert, a marching team of 15,000 people was lined up in a mess all the way north. Most of the people in the team were not wearing military uniforms, but were wearing old cotton jackets and a military cap. You could tell at a glance that they were recruits who had just joined the army. There were no artillery or cavalry, but most of them were carrying a rifle or a submachine gun. Dozens of machine guns were carried by some soldiers in old gray-blue military uniforms, and they formed a team in the middle of the team. There were about 5,000 people not carrying weapons, but carrying two large baskets of food on a shoulder pole.

Just after 11:00 a.m., the troops stopped moving forward, started to rest and prepare lunch. The officers and soldiers of each company formed a food unit, sat around the field stove and waited for dinner. The company commander, deputy company commander, instructor and three platoon leaders seized the time to do ideological and political work for the soldiers. Now almost all the soldiers of the People's Revolutionary Army are recruits, but these cadres are experienced internationalist soldiers, including cadres who were originally "Aiding the Red Army", Mongolians or Koreans in the Soviet Union, and revolutionaries from Japan. Moreover, these people can speak fluent Chinese. Although there are also accent obstacles, it is not difficult to communicate with these Gansu new recruits.

Ren Fucheng circled around the army with his hands behind his back. He served as a senior commander in the Soviet Red Army and personally experienced the entire process of the Red Army transforming from a rabble into an elite of a hundred battles. He knew how to transform the more than 10,000 new recruits in front of him into a revolutionary army armed with Trotsky's ideas. Moreover, he was not fighting alone. He also had nearly 1,500 experienced cadres from the People's Party or GC international support. There was also a huge backer of the Soviet Union. As long as there was a winter time, by next spring, there would be a revolutionary force on the Kobdo grassland that could not eat or sleep in Nanjing!

The chief of staff of the People's Revolutionary Army, the German internationalist soldier Otto Braun. They walked around and watched the new recruits who had just joined the army gathered around a pot of corn rice and ate with relish, but their expressions were filled with fear that could not be concealed. Ren Fucheng sighed to Braun with his hands behind his back, "This time it was thanks to the ** of Zhong G! Our team was only opened. Although there were a large number of people, most of them were ragtags. Only more than a thousand cadres had truly been tested. After a few months of beating, they could not become an iron army! Comrade Braun. See if you make a plan to let the troops do some combat training during the march. At least let the troops master the marching queue and shooting, right?"

It was the first time Braun brought such a large army, and it was composed of new recruits who had not received military training. It was not easy to march like now. He was powerless to train while marching. Just as he was about to persuade Ren Fucheng to give up this idea, he suddenly heard someone shouting in Russian: "Enemy situation! The enemy situation was discovered in the northwest direction!"

Enemy situation? That's the case?

Ren Fucheng and Braun looked at each other, and both saw panic expressions in each other's expressions. Then they looked northwest and saw smoke and dust rising in the distance. Ren Fucheng hurriedly led the war horse, jumped up, and then stood upright on the horse's back, raised the telescope hanging on his chest to look at the place where the smoke and dust rising in the northwest was raised.

In the sun, at least several thousand National Defense Force cavalry in yellow uniforms were slowly unfolding their attack formations on the sand about 6 kilometers away! Soon, another sentry in charge of reconnaissance shouted in Russian: "The enemy situation was found in the north direction! The enemy situation was found in the northeast direction..."

Ren Fucheng looked in the direction pointed out by the shouting and saw an almost large number of National Defense Forces cavalry unfolding formations on the sand in the northeast direction! The officers of the People's Revolutionary Army who had gathered around Ren Fucheng couldn't help but make a strange breathing sound. Ren Fucheng put down his telescope and looked to the left and right. The cadres of the People's Revolutionary Party next to him were full of fear expressions on their faces.

Braun stared at the distance, and he said, "I'm afraid it's a regular army of the reactionary faction, with 12,000 cavalrymen, it seems that there are two cavalry divisions! Comrade Chairman, what should we do?"

Ren Fucheng gritted his teeth and cursed: "Damn it! The Mao man has ruined us!" As he said that, he sneered again: "Isn't it just ten thousand cavalrymen! Today, we will let Chang Ruiqing's lackeys collapse a few front teeth so that they can know that our People's Revolutionary Army is not easy to mess with!"

He shouted loudly: "Arrangement, circular defense! The first regiment is responsible for the north, the second regiment is responsible for the northwest, the third regiment is responsible for the northeast, the fourth regiment, the fifth regiment is responsible for the east and west sides, the sixth regiment is responsible for the south, and the army's direct regiment is the reserve team!"

Immediately, a few messengers around him ran around. While running, they shouted: "Armation, circular defense, circular defense!" The army that was using lunch suddenly became chaotic. The soldiers had already seen something wrong from the smoke and dust approaching on three sides. When they heard someone shouting for defense and defense, they knew that it was going to fight. Immediately, several of them were quick to escape. As a result, the sound of pistol shooting sounded one after another for a while...

The headquarters of the People's Revolutionary Army is located on the west bank of Heishui River. It is flat and has no terrain to serve as a defense. The so-called Heishui River is just a small river. It was in the middle of winter and there was no rain in the drought. It had long become a small stream that could not be even smaller, and it had no defensive effect at all. Moreover, the People's Revolutionary Army had no way to resist horses, deer forts, barbed wire, mines, etc. There was no way to effectively deploy defense in this wilderness. The cavalry of the National Defense Forces, with strong mobility, can choose to launch an attack from any direction at will.

What's worse is that these People's Revolutionary Army are just more than 10,000 temporary recruitment of farmers and more than 1,000 backbone members. The recruited farmers have not undergone any training and are escorted by the backbone to barely fight. No one knows how many waves of attacks can withstand the enemy?

However, the National Defense Forces did not seem to be in a hurry to attack. They pushed three kilometers away and remained stable. They just watched the People's Revolutionary Army's busy formation in the wilderness, which was a bit like Song Xiangzhiren. Seeing that his subordinates had finally arranged their defenses, dozens of machine guns were set up. Bags of corn were also piled up into fortifications.

Ren Fuchengcai sighed, jumped off his horse, squinted his eyes and looked at the sun in the sky. The sun was the most intense, probably around 12 noon. It seems that this afternoon, there will be a bloody battle on the banks of the Heishui River. Maybe it will be the last battle of the People's Revolutionary Army!

"Chairman, what are they waiting for?" Chen Shaoyu's trembling voice rang in Ren Fucheng's ears.

"Cannon, they are waiting for the cannon!" Ren Fucheng replied coldly.

"Then, what should we do?"

Ren Fucheng shook his head and did not answer. He didn't know how to answer. Chen Shaoyu looked around and then came to him, lowered his voice and said, "Chairman Ren. It's better to organize the force to break through the enemy because he said that the enemy has not attacked!"

"Breakthrough?" Ren Fucheng glared at Chen Shaoyu and said in a depressed manner: "What are you going to do to break through? Just these new recruits?"

"The key to serving as Chairman, now is to preserve the backbone..." Chen Shaoyu stamped his feet and gritted his teeth and said, "The important thing now is to protect the core of the Party's leadership!"

Ren Fucheng looked at Chen Shaoyu coldly. After a while of silence, a desperate smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Lu Qing, forget it, we can't escape... They didn't do anything in the Jinta, they sent guns, bullets and food, and they also allowed us to expand their teams, just waiting for this opportunity today! So they must have dispatched more than 10,000 cavalry, no matter where we broke, there must be ambush waiting for us..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The conversation between the two had not ended, and the artillery bombardment of the National Defense Forces had indeed begun! The shells were not strong enough. However, the shells were very accurate, and craters were blown up on the positions of the People's Revolutionary Army. From time to time, broken limbs were blown up and flying around. The recruits who had just joined the army became riots, and the backbone of the People's Party shouted and cursed. The entire defense line was disturbed for a while, but the cavalry of the opposite defense army still did not take the opportunity to attack, but extended their front line to both sides. Soon, the defense cavalry, which was originally divided into three groups, was connected into one piece, and the front line also extended from the east and west sides of the People's Revolutionary Army, forming a half-encirclement formation surrounding three quads and one. In the distance to the south, smoke and dust appeared faintly.

"Chairman Ren, it seems that the enemy wants to surround us and destroy us all!" Braun had seen the other party's intention, and his two big hands held the telescope tightly and looked ahead motionlessly.

Hearing this, Chen Shaoyu suddenly threw away his telescope, sat on the sand, and cried: "It's over, it's over, the backbone of our People's Revolutionary Party is here! Now it's all..."

The other senior cadres of the People's Revolutionary Army present looked at each other in a panic. Although they were still tense and did not cry, their facial expressions were all full of despair!

At this moment, the sound of shells suddenly became dense, and shells fell around the People's Revolutionary Army positions like raindrops. It seemed that the National Defense Forces' offensive was about to begin soon...

...

"Runshuai, Runshuai! Xia Xucang sent a telegram from Jiayuguan. The Fourth Infantry Division and the Third Cavalry Division surrounded the bandits on the Heishui River!" Xuan Xiafu rushed into Mao Zd's study excitedly. On a white and gentle face, there was a red light of excitement, and the shouting sound could be heard from a distance.

Mao Zd was looking down with Cai Hesen to study the report of investigating Soviet spies sent from all over the northwest. He watched Xuan Xiafu come in and just glanced at him lightly. He said, "I understand." Then he continued to read the report.

Cai Hesen smiled and said, "Runzhi, we can study our affairs slowly. You should arrange the war on the front line first... Now that we are surrounding the main force of the bandits, should we wipe out the entire body immediately, or should we send someone to persuade us to surrender?"

Mao snorted: "It may not be easy to persuade surrender. Even if Ren Fucheng still wants to stay useful, he must consider his family! Who does not have a family member sent by Trotsky in the Soviet Union?"

He thought for a while, turned to Xuan Xiafu and said, "Tell Xia Xucang, don't worry, they have fallen into the trap and will never run away. I mean, as they should try to catch them as much as possible. Among those people, there are internationalist fighters sent by Trotsky. This is the ironclad evidence of the Soviet invasion of China. We would better catch a few. Otherwise, cut off the Black Water River, cut off their water sources, and besiege them for a few more days. At that time, they are too thirsty and may be easier to surrender."

Looking at Xuan Xiafu's back as he turned around and left, Cai Hesen smiled and said, "Runzhi, this time the bandits were seriously injured. I wonder if Trotsky would send people to us?"

Mao snorted heavily: "Does it still need to ask? The core of Trotskyism is to export revolution. The world revolution is essentially to promote aggression and expansion in the name of export revolution. We are the largest neighbor of the Soviet Union, and a poor and backward agricultural country. We are the most ideal target of aggression for Trotsky. How could he let us go?"

"What should we do?" Cai Hesen's expression became solemn. "China is now guarding against thieves for thousands of days, so how can we develop with peace of mind?"

Mao sneered: "That's why I asked Xia Xucang to find a way to catch the living. The living internationalist warriors are ironclad evidence. With these living evidence, we can expose the true face of the Soviet invaders in front of the people of the whole country! As long as everyone recognizes this, we are not afraid of Trotsky's export revolution!"
