Chapter 139 This is China's territory 3

When the 2nd Armored Division arrived at the outpost, they found that the Soviet troops hiding in the innermost part of the outpost's basement had not suffered serious damage.

This made the soldiers feel relieved, but at the same time they were also angry about the actions of the Outer Steppe Independence Army. The 2nd Armored Division acted quickly and took control of all the captured Soviet border guards.

The army group headquarters decided that after the mission was accomplished, all captured Soviet troops would be sent back to the Soviet Union.

Doing so will not only demonstrate the humanitarian spirit of the 78th Group Army, but also avoid unnecessary trouble and international pressure.

After all, the war was over, and keeping these prisoners would only add to the burden.

However, the 2nd Armored Division had a completely different attitude towards the stubbornly resisting Outer Steppe Independence Army.

They understood that these nobles from the outer grasslands were enemies and could not be let off easily.

Therefore, they took decisive measures to completely eliminate these diehard elements to ensure the security and stability of the border areas.

During this process, the 2nd Armored Division demonstrated firm determination and iron-blooded policy. Countless people were killed along the way, and those who attempted to resist were all sent to hell.

Heading north and then east, they encountered some stubborn forces along the way who tried to resist to the end, but they all suffered severe blows without exception.

Of course, it is unrealistic to expect that you can solve all problems by relying solely on one armored division.

After all, this region has been actually ruled by the Soviets for so many years, and the situation is complicated and tricky.

Moreover, in order to maintain control over the area, the Soviets left a number of armored units here.

The 2nd Armored Division was not fully deployed, so when they encountered some larger cities with more garrisons, they seemed somewhat helpless.

Faced with this situation, they have to readjust their strategies and deployments to cope with various challenges that may arise.

When this matter reached Moscow, the leader known as the "kind father" was naturally furious.

He immediately issued a severe threat to the National Government, expressing his extreme dissatisfaction with the Chinese Second Armored Division's entry into the outer grasslands and accusing it of provoking conflicts among the allies.

The Soviet Union strongly urged the Nationalist government to abandon this dangerous move, otherwise it would face the situation of millions of Soviet troops pressing in. This warning plunged the Nationalist government into panic and confusion.

However, the top Kuomintang officials knew nothing about this incident and had no idea why it had triggered such a strong reaction from the Soviet Union.

In fact, it was not until the Soviet ambassador to the mountain city personally went to the Huangshan villa and met with the leader that he learned the truth of the matter.

At one time, diplomatic pressure from the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and other countries was exerted on the National Government, and the National Government directly called the 78th Army and asked them to immediately stop their military operations against the grasslands.

Wang Chun drew a picture saying that I was just chasing the Japanese, and besides, I was fighting back against the invaders within my own country's territory, and it had nothing to do with the Russians or those foreigners.

To be honest, the Nationalist government would not have been willing to put pressure on the 78th Army if it hadn't been for too much external pressure. This is the tragedy of a weak country.

Minister He of the Ministry of Military Affairs personally flew to Zhangjia K, hoping that the 78th Army would temporarily stop its operations.

In order to threaten the Kuomintang government, the Soviets dispatched a Guards Armored Division from the Far Eastern Border Region to the Soviet-Mongolian border.

At this moment, the Japanese army seemed to have seen an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and their troops in Zhongyuan Province and Jiaodong immediately stopped advancing southward.

At this time, more than 15 troops had begun to return to North China, especially the Beijing-Tianjin area, while the nd Armored Division continued to gallop on the grassland for four days, successfully recovering a large area of ​​outer grassland territory.

However, due to the inability to keep up with logistics and the fact that they only had one armored division, this force finally reached its limit.

Eventually, they had to stay in an area 200 kilometers south of Ulaanbaatar.

When the 2nd Armored Division stopped, both the Kuomintang and the Soviet Union secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, China's mysterious 78th Army has demonstrated extremely powerful combat effectiveness. If a conflict really occurred with the 78th Army, the Soviets knew that they would not be able to compete with it with their own troops in the Far East.

This time, one third of the outer grassland was recovered. Although Wang Chun still felt very regretful that he was not able to take back all the land left by his ancestors.

But now the logistics of the 78th Army have really reached their limit! Not only that, the Japanese army has also begun to gather troops, and it seems that a new war may break out in the Beijing-Tianjin area in the near future.

After more than a month of continuous high-intensity fighting, the soldiers of the entire 78th Group Army were already exhausted, and a large number of equipment were in urgent need of maintenance and upkeep.

Especially the three armored divisions, they are more dependent on equipment and therefore need timely repairs and maintenance.

Taking the 1st and 2nd Armored Divisions as an example, currently only 75% of the tanks in their entire division can be started normally, and the rest cannot be used due to malfunctions or damage, and are now lying on the ground unable to move.

In the newly recovered areas, especially the grassland areas, an army must be sent to garrison there for a long time.

In the end, Wang Chun could only draw some personnel from three armored divisions and a motorized infantry division, and at the same time transferred 2 armored cadets who had only been trained for more than two months.

A new armored division was formed, and they formed a grassland army with two infantry divisions and the reorganized puppet cavalry.

Fortunately, the Russians have no time to care about other things now. Although they are still upset that the Chinese did not completely withdraw from the grassland, this is all they can do in the end.

Of course, the protests and threats to the Kuomintang government did not stop. After seeing the true face and bottom line of the Russians, the Kuomintang government started to engage in verbal battles with them. The two sides went back and forth, and that's how it is anyway.

The First Armored Division and a Motorized Infantry Division in the Changping area, as well as the three infantry divisions that arrived later and the 20th Infantry Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, began to carry out large-scale repairs and expansions based on the Japanese's previous fortifications.

The Japanese army was not to be outdone, and they built a large number of solid permanent fortifications in the Miyun area not far away in an attempt to stop our army's attack. Both sides were actively preparing for the upcoming war.

However, the bombers of the 78th Army Aviation Brigade never stopped for a moment. They continued to bomb the Japanese positions, causing tremendous pressure on the Japanese army.

At the same time, the troops of the Fifth War Zone and the Second War Zone that retreated into Shanxi Province had greatly restored their combat effectiveness after more than a month of rest and recuperation.

Moreover, they also obtained a large amount of supplies and weapons and equipment from Guancen Mountain, which made them more powerful and boosted their morale.

At the same time, Wang Chun officially announced that the Central Teaching Corps would be rebuilt in Guancen Mountain, and publicly called on the whole society to those surviving members of the Teaching Corps to report to Guancen Mountain as soon as possible.

This army, once hailed as the strongest army in China, should not disappear so quietly in the long river of history.

Their heroic deeds and outstanding military achievements deserve to be remembered and passed on.

When some former members of the Teaching Corps scattered across the country saw the news about the reconstruction of the Teaching Corps in the newspaper, they put down their work without hesitation, left their existing troops, and embarked on the journey to Guancen Mountain.

After all, the current government has long forgotten them, and rebuilding the teaching corps gives them a chance to regain their dignity and glory.
