Just like what Xiang Xiaoqiang said, the Soviet army is an unpredictable army. The extremity of the army instilled with extreme ideologies is also shocking. When the morale of the Soviet Union is high,
Few troops can match the strength of the army. They fight bravely and believe that they are invincible. But once they lose their morale, they will plummet. A healthy, normal army only loses its morale at this time, but its usual training, quality, and
The sense of honor of the soldiers is still there, and they can provide the minimum support and wait for the time to save the defeat.
However, the Soviet army is not a healthy and normal army, but a deformed army created with extreme ideology, brainwashing, lies, and cruel high-pressure methods. The political commissar tells them that the Red Army is the most powerful army in the world.
An invincible army. But that is obviously not the case now. The Red Army will also be beaten to pieces, and the Red Army will be defeated miserably. What the above said is false and they are lying to them. Once this happens, the Soviet army will
It wasn’t just morale that was lost. Many people’s beliefs, at least part of them, also began to collapse with the collapse of morale.
Now the victory the Ming army can achieve almost does not depend on the degree of resistance of the Soviet army, but on how far the Ming army's logistics can support them in advancing.
On July 20, Dihua was recaptured. Since then, the mountain passes between southern and northern Xinjiang have been opened. The Ming army no longer has to detour through the Great Gobi in the northeast, but directly passes through the Tianshan Pass by road.
, entering Northern Xinjiang. The distance from Hami to Northern Xinjiang was shortened by 500 kilometers, a full half.
…
The significance of the capture of Dihua is not only to open up the north-south corridor. In and around Dihua City, the Soviet army built a series of large granaries. Most of the grain stolen from the northern and southern Xinjiang was stored here. Part of it was stored in the city.
Food has been transported to the Soviet Union, but because there is no railway here, and the Soviet army's automobile transportation capacity is limited, and priority must be given to battlefield transportation, the food is shipped very slowly. Before the Ming army encircled Dihua, Dihua was still
About two million tons of grain are stored, mainly corn and wheat.
These two million tons of grain were regarded by both the Ming and Soviet armies as a decisive strategic resource. Since ancient times, grain has been the most important war material. Although in modern times, the status of grain on the battlefield has given way to weapons and fuel, but
Once it reaches such a huge amount of 2 million tons, it is no exaggeration to say that it can already determine the outcome of a local war.
Based on the calculation that each person eats 1.2 kilograms of grain per day, then 2 million tons of grain is enough to feed 2.28 million people for a year. Even if half is used for disaster relief and the other half is used to raise troops, an additional 1.1 million Central Asian White Guards can be expanded. Of course, if calculated as half a year
, you can expand the Central Asian White Guards by 2.28 million more. In this case, the transportation pressure of the Ming army will be greatly reduced - at least within a year or half a year, there will be no need to transport so much food, and the Ming army will not need to transport too much.
The army came over. The large amount of transportation capacity saved can be used to transport ammunition and fuel and arm these Muslim troops. The more than 2 million additional Muslim troops and the extra transportation capacity are enough to ensure that the Chinese army will be able to carry out military operations in the next year.
Central Asia maintains military superiority.
After the Ming army encircled Dihua, Moscow sent an order requiring the Dihua defenders to burn all the food and not leave a grain to the Ming army. However, the Ming army once again activated the "Civilian Rescue Order" and used aircraft to fly over Dihua.
Distribute leaflets and inform the Soviet army that these grains are the life of the people in both Xinjiang and Xinjiang. For every ton missing, hundreds more people will starve to death. If the grains are burned, then all officers of the Soviet Army in Dihua and above the rank of lieutenant will be killed.
Shooting.
The leaflet also used several Chinese characters to tell the people of Dihua that the Soviet army is about to burn food. This is your life-saving food. Whether you can survive depends on whether you can save this food.
Originally, the Soviet troops in the city had already put tanks on the streets to prevent riots. But now that the leaflets were scattered, the riots could no longer be controlled. The Soviet troops of a division in Dihua suddenly fell into the "ocean of people's war" again.
.Communications were cut off as usual, and the division could not find its regiment, and the regiment could not find its camp. In addition, 2 million tons of grain was too much, and it was stored in several large granaries, not in the same place, so the guards at each granary were
The army didn’t know what to do. The phone lines were blocked, and it was difficult for the messengers sent out to pass through the city full of riots. The defenders of some granaries were very conscious and felt that they would rather be shot than let the food fall.
When it fell into the hands of the Ming imperialists and local rich farmers, they set fire to it. However, most of the granary defenders were not so stubborn and wanted to defend first.
Due to riots in the city and fierce attacks outside the city, Dihua was soon captured by the Ming army. About 60,000 tons of the 2 million tons of grain had been burned. - There was too much grain, so the granary defenders had to hand it over.
There are hundreds of liters of gasoline there, and this is the most that can be burned in a hurry.
…
The Ming army extinguished the fire and protected the remaining food. Many tasks were carried out at the same time: processing prisoners, arranging air defenses, consolidating fortifications, and distributing part of the food in Dihua City... In addition, a military force was quickly formed
The court held a trial against the officers of the company where the Soviet army burned grain.
The military court was held next to a granary in Dihua City, which was the one that was set on fire. The people in Dihua City gathered around to watch, and the shouts of "kill them" resounded in the sky. The Ming military police finally managed to
Let the people around you calm down. The judge was a colonel from the Ming Army's Military Justice Department. He finally made a face and solemnly pronounced the verdict:
"I have listened to the opinions of the defense and the prosecution, and also referred to the relevant conventions of the Geneva River and the Hague. Obviously, several defendants have participated in this artificial famine operation targeting civilians in Dihua. Now, they have
They committed a second crime. On the eve of the liberation of the people of Dihua, they ignored warnings and still insisted on destroying the food they would depend on to survive. Although the defendants were under military orders, according to international public law and common sense, this
Such an order that deliberately commits crimes against civilians cannot be executed, otherwise, the executor will also be regarded as an accomplice. Based on the maintenance of human morality and conscience, as well as respect for international public law, I now pronounce the verdict——
"
When he said this, dozens of people in the entire court stood up. Several Soviet defendants, who were originally standing, looked ashen as they listened to the translators around them.
The judge glanced at several people coldly and said:
"The six defendants were sentenced to death and executed by firing squad."
"Snapped!"
The gavel hit the table hard. At that time, the six Soviet officers collapsed.
Twelve Ming army military policemen nearby went up and tied them up quickly, then put them into a car and drove out. The onlookers behind cheered like a mountain and a tsunami, and followed the car all the way to the outside of the city.
An open space has been selected outside the city and six pits have been dug. The military police carried six Soviet officers to the edge of the pit, and then the firing squad officer shouted:
"Raise your gun!!!—Ready—"
A Soviet officer suddenly trembled and shouted:
"Comrade Stalin is ten thousand..."
"put!!!"
There was a burst of crisp gunfire, white smoke drifted by, and six Soviet officers fell into the pit.
