Markov breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, everyone, I hope we can get along well in the future!"

"Of course we will get along well!" Zhang Yun was still smiling, "Mr. Sir, since we may be neighbors for a long time in the future, we must have a good start. It is very important to have a good relationship. We hope we can become friends with you .

Now that we've met for the first time, why not have a fellowship?We would love to celebrate the return of this land to China, and at the same time would love to gain your friendship!" He smiled and gestured to the vodka piled on the table by the campfire behind him.

Markov hesitated for a moment. It is almost the natural character of Russians to be addicted to alcohol. He had to be tempted by those vodkas. It is not easy for a high-ranking military officer like Mr. Markov to get drunk. Markov, who has not had a drink for a while, is indeed an alcoholic. In addition, he knows that drinking with soldiers from other countries on the border It is a very risky thing, and he might have to accept an internal investigation, but he had previously received instructions from his superiors, "Make a good relationship with those Chinese soldiers, and don't let them find excuses to provoke, after all, we are dealing with the Germans. You can’t fight a war with the Chinese at the same time.” So after hesitating for a few seconds, he smiled and nodded: “Thank you for your invitation. Since you are so enthusiastic, we can’t refuse it. I hope we can become friends in the future!”

In a friendly and lively atmosphere, a group of Chinese and Soviet military officers happily held a friendship reception on the outskirts of Almaty, with the sky as the roof and the ground as the seat. Zhang Yun and other officers proudly raised their wine bottles: "In order to show our sincerity and friendship, let's do it first as a respect!" After finishing speaking, the officers bit off the bottle caps, raised their necks and gulped down together. Face up to the sky, and then all the bottle mouths face down to show cleanliness, and each face does not change color.

Zhang Yun thought to himself: "Damn it! Drinking cold water doesn't feel good, my stomach is so full!"

When Markov and other Soviet officers saw the boldness of the Chinese officers, they were very excited, and they all picked up the wine bottles and drank them all. All they drank were genuine liquor.

Amidst the noise of chatting and laughing in Chinese and Russian, the soldiers of the two countries drank to their heart's content. For a while, the boundaries of nationality, ethnic grievances, and differences in identity... seemed to be diluted by alcohol, and only those from the two countries The men are drinking to make friends. In fact, there is no hatred between the two groups of men who are drinking, and they don’t even know each other. They are like drinking friends who met for the first time. are friends.

"It would be nice not to fight..." Markov and Zhang Yun, who were drunk, hooked each other's shoulders, and he said with emotion, "I don't want to fight at all...It's so ridiculous. Compatriots or comrades say, I can only talk to you, a foreigner, I actually like China..."

Zhang Yun grinned and said, "I like Russia too..."

Markov pulled out a photo with red eyes: "This is my wife...and my son..."

Zhang Yun looked at it: "Hey, your wife is very beautiful. I heard that you Russian women are beautiful when they are young, but after 35 years old, they immediately become thick-backed, right? Tsk tsk, my wife is more beautiful..." He took out Zhou Xuan's photo and said triumphantly, "My wife is a big star in China..."

Markov took the photo in Zhang Yun's hand and praised repeatedly: "What a beautiful girl, you are so lucky..."

Cheng Kang came over, pushed Zhang Yun, and moved his eyes.

张云看了看手表：“呀，时间到了!”手表上的时间是当地8月1日凌晨1时，中国时间8月1日凌晨4时。

Markov looked at Zhang Yun in surprise: "What time?"

Zhang Yun pulled out the pistol at his waist, aimed at Markov unequivocally and pulled the trigger. Markov's brains spattered and blood flew.

"Kill your time!" Zhang Yun looked at the dead Markov with a bit of regret.

There was loud gunshots at the scene, blood spattered three feet, and the officers of the Soviet army who participated in the fraternity were shot and killed by the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army.

"The war has begun!" Zhang Yun roared angrily, "Attack Almaty!"

The earth-shattering Chinese shouts and gunfire flooded the tranquility of Almaty in an instant. Hundreds of cannons that had already been ready to fire burst into flames, and the orange-red bullet trails whizzed over the city. Fire broke out in the city, the ground shook, and the Nanjing Army, which was approaching the city, rushed towards the city unstoppably like molten steel and magma, starting China's first battle in the Soviet War.

Chapter 467

The Battle of Almaty was China's first battle in the Soviet War. The battle was fierce but relatively smooth, because the Nanjing Army was fully prepared for this, and it can be said to be "planned for a long time."

Almaty is an important place in Central Asia. The Soviet army has heavy troops stationed here. The regular army includes two divisions, the 68th Division and the 83rd Division. There are also eight militia divisions with a total strength of about 17. The number is almost the same as that of Nanjing twice as many as the [-]th Division of the USSR Army, but the quality of the soldiers is not high. First, Central Asia is a place where the threat level is relatively low within the territory of the Soviet Union, so the troops stationed here are second- and third-rate troops. Second, Germany is fully attacking After the Soviet Union, the high-level Soviet army eager to plug the loopholes in Eastern Europe had to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Most of the elite troops were transferred to the front lines in Eastern Europe, which made the "quality" of the Central Asian Soviet army even worse.

However, after the Far East War, due to major changes in the situation between China and the Soviet Union, and the high-level Soviet army also judged that once the Sino-Soviet war broke out, Central Asia was very likely to be the main direction of attack by the Chinese army, so the strength of the Central Asian garrison was strengthened. For various reasons, the overall improvement is relatively limited.

Before the start of the war, a group of middle and senior officers of the Soviet Army, including Colonel Markov, the commander of the 68th Division, were "trapped and killed" by the Nanjing Army. This was also a major reason why the Soviet Army was caught off guard by the Nanjing Army after the war started.

Because of the backwardness in industry and economy, the Chinese army is backward. On the whole, it is far inferior to the armies of industrial and economic powers such as the German army and the Soviet army. However, the Nanjing army is the essence of the Chinese army. After participating in the war, the 17th Division took the lead The other troops are the essence of the Nanjing Army, which makes the 17th Division in the Battle of Almaty not inferior to the German Army in all aspects, and surpasses the Soviet Army.

If Chiang Kai-shek was on the front line in Almaty, he must have been very shocked. He must have doubted whether this army, which was armed to the teeth, highly mechanized, had extremely fierce firepower, and had extremely strong combat effectiveness, was actually a member of his National Revolutionary Army.

The battle broke out in the middle of the night, neither aircraft participated in the battle, and the artillery became the heavy source of firepower on the battlefield.

More than [-] large-caliber artillery pieces of the Nanjing Army fired at Almaty together. The sound of shelling almost shook the entire Almaty. The artillery fire even dyed the entire night sky red, and the whole city was quickly engulfed in flames.

The residents of Almaty were stunned by the sudden, magnificent and terrifying scene of war. The hail-like shells tore through the air densely, making a breathtaking scream, and the bullets fell. The buildings in the explosion collapsed or fell apart like toys made of cardboard. The window panes of the buildings in the city were shattered and poured down. The houses trembled violently like an earthquake, and the beams and columns were creaking. There was a sound, the overwhelming gunpowder smoke shrouded the city like a dark cloud, and the city itself was submerged by the dark cloud of smoke and dust. The dark sky and the dark city were thundering and lightning, and people were shaken by the continuous loud noise. have to lose hearing.

In just over half an hour, the heavy artillery unit of the 17th Division poured out more than 20 rounds of large-caliber heavy artillery, and countless small and medium-caliber artillery shells. Fireballs blooming everywhere and hurricane-like shock waves blew up the entire city. Amidst the whirling explosions, the powerful and destructive power of the war was unleashed to the fullest. The sky and the ground collapsed and the sky was turned upside down in the urban area. Pieces of the urban area were wiped out in the dark smoke and dust like a sandstorm. The raging flames illuminated a radius of more than [-] kilometers as bright as day.

The artillerymen of the Nanjing Army who participated in the battle were all sweating and dripping with joy. Li Rujiong, the commander-in-chief of the artillery unit, yelled excitedly: "Damn! It's so enjoyable to shoot so many shells in one go! I have never been so rich before! "

The division commander Feng Shengfa felt a little emotional when he heard that the Chinese army is very poor, so it’s okay to be so rich once or twice, but every time they go bankrupt like this early.

Before the Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese army was inferior to the Japanese army. Since the struggle, it is almost the same as the Japanese army, but there is a big gap with the German and Soviet armies.

Apart from rare extravagance, there is another important reason why the artillery unit of the Nanjing Army can be generous.

Before the start of the battle, Li Rujiong approached Huang Baitao, the deputy division commander: "Deputy division commander, according to the battle plan, the artillery unit will try its best to strike at the important installations of the Soviet army after the start of the battle. However, some important installations of the Soviet army are in the city, close to the residential areas. It's very close, and the artillery fire is easy to accidentally injure..."

Huang Baitao asked calmly, "Are the people living in the city our own Chinese?"

"no!"

"That's all right? It's the responsibility of the Soviet Army to protect Soviet civilians. Why do you worry about them?"

The understanding Li Rujiong and the artillerymen did not care about the life and death of the residents of Almaty in the subsequent shelling. The shells bombarded the city indiscriminately, with the only goal of killing and attacking the Soviet army. The shells exploded and flew all over the sky. The severed hands and feet and the pouring red cloud of blood, half belonged to the Soviet army and half belonged to the local residents.

"Kill!" In the roar of anger, the commander of the attacking Nanjing army drove straight in and swarmed into the city unstoppably.

The terrified residents of Almaty watched with trembling the Chinese soldiers pouring into the city and the Soviet army fighting frantically.

The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army who participated in the war were only half the number of the Soviet Army, but they had great advantages in other aspects. They not only seized the opportunity, but also had better equipment, more ammunition, and stronger firepower than the Soviet Army. Better than the Soviet army, more sophisticated in tactics, richer in actual combat experience than the Soviet army, more tenacious and determined in fighting will and fighting spirit than the Soviet army...Because of this, after the battle started, although Almaty had not yet been won, Chen Mingren, Feng Shengfa, Huang Baitao and other senior military officers were already discussing the next move after taking Almaty.

"Wuhan asked us to take Almaty within twelve hours, and Beiping asked us to take Almaty within six hours!" Chen Mingren looked at Feng Shengfa, "I ask you to take Almaty within three hours! "

Feng Shengfa laughed: "It seems that the second son knows us better than the chairman, and you, the military seat, know us better than the second son.

I guess, the chairman of the committee is thinking wildly and worrying about gains and losses in Wuhan at this time, and the second son is more or less uneasy! "

Chen Mingren smiled and said, "Can it be done?"

Feng Shengfa smiled, picked up the radio station walkie-talkie, and sternly shouted: "Brothers! The chairman ordered us to take Almaty within twelve hours, and the second son ordered us to take Almaty within six hours." , the military seat ordered us to take Almaty within three hours, and I order you now to take Almaty within two hours!"

"Take Almaty within two hours!" All the 17th Division erupted.

Amidst the Chinese roars that were frightening and trembling, and the mountains and rivers were changing colors, the 17th Division completely turned Almaty into a small boat in a sea of ​​fire.

The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army who poured into the city gathered into a wave of furious waves that swallowed thousands of miles, and the Soviet army collapsed wherever the front of the soldiers went.

In the city, there was such a scene of quite historical significance: Kazakhs who belonged to the mixed race of yellow race and white race watched groups of yellow soldiers fiercely chasing and killing groups of white soldiers in extreme fear.

Nanjing army tanks painted with the blue sky and white sun military emblem are galloping on the flywheels on the outskirts of the city, and the yellow sand is rolling towards the Soviet artillery positions, airports, barracks, traffic stations, tank groups, convoys, and crowds. Mechanical fragments and human flesh were flying across the room. On the Soviet artillery positions that were bombed by Nanjing Army artillery shells, artillery parts and Soviet artillery corpses were scattered here and there, and the blood was covered with bullet casings. The armored soldiers of the Nanjing Army fired and bombarded with all their strength, and the Soviet artillery was blown up in a thunderbolt. The infantrymen of the Nanjing Army who followed jumped out of the car, strafed the Soviet army, and at the same time snatched the artillery as much as possible; In a group, the speeding Nanjing Army tanks fired at the Soviet crowd and Soviet aircraft on the airport. Rows of Soviet aircraft were blown into slag powder or ignited raging fire in the fireball. The flesh and blood of Soviet pilots In a mess, the Nanjing military engineers who followed hurriedly cleared the airport, preparing to allow their own planes to use the airport after dawn; on some local battlefields, fierce battles broke out between the tanks of the two sides, and the result of the battle was without suspense. One after another, they became the steel graves of Soviet tank soldiers, crushing the wreckage of Soviet tanks everywhere, and the Nanjing Army tanks galloped in the wind and thunder.

The battle in the urban area also quickly became fierce. The infantrymen of the Nanjing Army who were fighting hand-to-hand with the Soviet army in the urban area roared and drowned each other in a pool of blood with shells that pierced their heads. Flying like flying, the Soviet army who had been killed and had nowhere to go had to rely on private houses to carry out a stubborn resistance, which caused some Nanjing soldiers to feel that they were wary.

Liu Junzhe, the head of the 189th Regiment who personally led the team into the fight, saw a company in the headquarters blocked by a group of Soviet troops outside a residential area, and suddenly became furious. He called the company commander: "Bastard! Why didn't you attack?"

The company commander said in embarrassment: "It's a residential area, and there are many ordinary people in it..."

"Are they Chinese? Their life and death is none of your business!" Liu Junzhe scolded, "Hit me with shells!"

A shell flew over, and the Soviet army hiding in the residential area was blown to death together with the residents inside.

Zhang Yun, who received Liu Junzhe's report, immediately ordered the officers and soldiers involved in the battle: "Don't care about the life and death of the locals! They are not our compatriots! Don't be soft-hearted!"

The express order completely dissipated the little "unbearable heart" that the officers and soldiers still had.

The officers and soldiers who attacked and killed the Soviet army everywhere in the city encountered the situation where the Soviet army was mixed with civilians, and directly ignored 21. A shell bombardment or machine gun fire killed them all. The Soviet resistance troops in the city were wiped out. The Soviet army outside the city was defeated by the mechanized troops of the Nanjing Army. The Soviet army in the city was also killed by the Nanjing Army. The battle lasted only one hour. The wooden map became a pile of ruins and rubble strewn with corpses and blood.

"Soviet officers and soldiers! Residents of Almaty! Our purpose is to eliminate Stalin's tyranny! We don't want to hurt you! You are innocent, come to our side! Stop working for the evil Stalin and his Bolshevik clique They will only let you serve as coolies and cannon fodder, they will only let you die in vain! They advertise that you cannot do without them, in fact, you can live better without them! We Chinese are not your enemies, we and Your common enemy is the dictatorship government established by the Bolshevik clique in the Soviet Union! The Stalin clique brazenly declared that the Soviet Union is a so-called 'state where the proletariat is the dictatorship and the working people are the masters of the country', but are you really the masters of this country? Think carefully Think about it! Are your leaders elected by you? Fake! They are all fake! Soviet officers and soldiers, residents of Almaty, please keep your eyes open and see the reality clearly. You live in a dark and bloody world. In this country, everything in this country is decided by Stalin and his Bolshevik clique! Everything is for the self-interest of their party! You are slaves in their eyes! They steal the country in the name of revolution Rule, and then replace the previous tsars and feudal slave owners to continue to squeeze you, exploit you, and bully you! Their essence is the feudal emperor with a different name! And those Bolshevik party members are just bureaucrats and capitalists with a different name! In times of peace, they are vampires and moths riding on your head and domineering; in times of war, they drive you to the battlefield as cannon fodder! They deceive you, making you think that you are defending the country, but in fact they are only using your lives Come to keep their power! Please think about it, who made you starve and cold, starved to death, and destroyed your family? Who arrested, imprisoned, exiled, and killed your relatives?

As long as you don’t resist us and obey us, you won’t be harmed. If you cooperate with us, there will be additional rewards...”

Nanjing army tanks or armored vehicles equipped with tweeters were driving on the battlefield, and the Russian or Kazakh translators in the vehicles shouted loudly to start psychological warfare.

Psychological warfare was only an auxiliary tactic in the original plan of the Nanjing Army, but to the surprise of Chen Mingren and others, the tactic worked surprisingly well.

After the shouting began, a large number of Soviet troops raised their hands and surrendered to the Nanjing Army, one batch after another, and the number continued to increase.

The first to surrender were the Kazakh officers and soldiers in the Soviet army. They had almost no fighting spirit, and they would collapse at the first touch. After learning that the Nanjing Army treated the prisoners preferentially, they all raised their hands and surrendered everywhere.

After the first batch of Kazakh Soviet officers and soldiers surrendered to the Nanjing Army, the Nanjing Army immediately gave them good food and drink. These officers and soldiers who were satisfied and convinced that they would not be slaughtered followed the instructions of the Nanjing Army and picked up the loudspeaker to respond to the Nanjing Army. The comrades in arms who were in battle or in hesitation shouted out, which caused the number of Soviet troops to surrender to increase suddenly, showing a trend of geometric multiples. After one surrender, three or even ten surrendered, and then more surrendered.

It’s not just the Kazakh officers and soldiers in the Soviet army. Almaty is the capital of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, so there are a large number of high-level government officials in the city. It's a false surrender.

After all, the logic is ready-made: the enemy army is approaching the city, how can the high-level government be so greedy for life and afraid of death, and have no backbone?However, the Nanjing Army soon knew the answer.

The high-level Kazakhs who came to surrender included several heavyweight senior officials. The leader was the chairman of the Kazakh Supreme Soviet Presidium at this time, Abedisamet Kabakhopayev. Without the integrity of "die for the country", after learning that the Nanjing Army would not kill him, he immediately brought a group of confidants to surrender.

According to after-the-fact analysis, this Kabakhopayev is very shrewd. He estimated that the Soviet Union was about to end. After all, Germany was aggressively attacking the Soviet Union, and China also joined the Soviet war. For the new government, he turned from darkness to light at this time, and he will definitely be supported by China as the head of the new government of Kazakhstan in the future. The sooner he turns from darkness to light, the more he can prove his loyalty, so he surrendered an hour after Kazakhstan was attacked by the Chinese army.

Chen Mingren immediately received Kabahopayev in person, and said very kindly: "Mr. Kabahopayev, don't worry, we are not invading Kazakhstan, but to destroy the tyrannical rule established by the Bolshevik clique in Kazakhstan. We will help the Kazakh people to establish A new Kazakh for the Kazakh people!"

Kabakhopayev nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face: "Of course! Of course! The Chinese are our Kazakh friends. As for the Russians...huh!" He showed a disgusted expression, and then asked his entourage to bring a people.

"Kabakhopayev! You betrayed the Soviet, the revolution, and Comrade Stalin. You will not end well..." the man yelled.

Kabakhopayev slapped the man on the face viciously, and then spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm: "Fuck! What a shit Soviet! What a revolution! Kazakhs belong to our Kazakhs! Not your Russians! Not even your Bolsheviks! We've wanted to do this for a long time!"

Chen Mingren asked, "Who is this person?"

Kabakhopayev slapped the man again in frustration: "This bastard is the first secretary of the Kazakh Bolshevik Party, Nikolay Alexandrovich Skovortsov!" He gritted his teeth and said, "Soviet Union It seems to be an alliance of Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and other countries, but in fact it is the occupation and enslavement of other countries by the Russians! In the eyes of Moscow, we are colonies! Kazakhstan is a vassal state of Russia! The status is not equal at all! As for the Kazakh Bolshevik Party, it looks like an independent party of Kazakhstan, but it is actually a branch of the Russian Bolshevik Party! It is a tool for Russia to rule Kazakhstan! Humph! I am the head of state of Kazakhstan, but I have to listen to this shit first secretary everywhere I am a Kazakh, but this Skovortsov is a Russian, sent by Moscow! Kazakhs are not at all decided by us Kazakhs themselves, nor by me, it is all this Skovortsov The husband has the final say, and Moscow has the final say! We Kazakhs are forced to pay a large amount of food, minerals, products, and taxes to Russia every year, and we Kazakhs have long since run out of patience!"

Chen Mingren patted Kabakhopayev on the shoulder: "The so-called 'liberation' brought to you by the Russians and the Bolshevik Party is false. It is essentially colonial slavery. We will bring you real 'liberation'!"

Kabakhopayev nodded again and again: "Of course! Of course!"

The Kazakh Soviet army almost surrendered collectively. The Russian Soviet army was either wiped out or surrendered or fled, allowing the Nanjing Army to successfully take Almaty within two hours. There were more than 17 soldiers, of which more than [-] were captured Soviet troops, most of whom were Kazakh Soviet troops.

The reason for this is that the Almaty Soviet Army is divided into two types. One is the 68th Division and the 83rd Division of the regular army. The two divisions have more than [-] Soviet officers and soldiers who are basically Russians. The second is that the Soviet Army is in Almaty. Eight militia divisions were established, half of which were Russians and half Kazakhs. During the battle, the morale of the Kazakh Soviet troops was low and they surrendered quickly, which dealt a heavy blow to the Russian Soviet troops and eventually suffered a crushing defeat.

After the Nanjing Army occupied Almaty, the local residents did not show too much hostility towards the Nanjing Army, but just watched in fear, neither resisting nor cooperating with the Nanjing Army. After the strict military discipline, the local residents' favorability and trust towards the Nanjing Army suddenly increased. Many residents even held flowers and a pot of rice to welcome the Nanjing Army with enthusiasm (it was later found out that these welcome activities It was organized by Kabakhopayev and others, but the Kazakhs who participated in the event were not against their will, and indeed had the mentality of welcoming the Nanjing Army).

Many officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army were "flattered", and then found it hard to believe, and only later did they know the reason.

The reason why the Kazakhs welcome the Nanjing Army is that although they don’t understand the Chinese and don’t like the Chinese very much, they know the Russians very well and hate them very much.

In the view of the Kazakhs, no matter whether Kazakhs are ruled by the Chinese or the Russians, they are ruled anyway. The Russian rule has made them complain a lot, so although they don't understand the Chinese, they believe that "the Chinese will worse than the Russians, because the Russians are already extremely bad."

Although Kabakhopayev's words of cursing the Russians and the Bolshevik Party in front of Chen Mingren were very selfish, but he was not fabricating them out of thin air, because they were all facts.

The Soviet Union is an alliance composed of more than ten countries including Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. In this alliance, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine are all "countries" with equal status, but the actual situation is not like this at all. The Soviet Union is actually An expanded Russia, Russia has absolute dominance in this alliance, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and other joining countries are Russia's vassals.

Moscow is the capital of the Soviet Union, but it is even more the capital of Russia. Moscow's top management is more concerned with Russia's interests. Kazakhstan, Ukraine and other member countries are all targets of Russia's oppression.

A frightening famine broke out in Ukraine. Although the situation in Kazakhs was not that serious, it was enough to make Kazakhs feel hatred for Russians. Not only that, Stalin has been firmly and ruthlessly carrying out "national cleansing".

As we all know, the Soviet Union, like China, is a multi-ethnic country. The main ethnic group in China is the Han nationality, while the main ethnic group in the Soviet Union is the Russian ethnic group. In order to consolidate the "internal stability" of the Soviet Union, Stalin used iron fists to "continuously reduce the population of other ethnic groups." For example, in the three Baltic countries in history, these three small countries originally had a total population of 700 million. After being annexed by the Soviet Union, a full 200 ​​million people were "cleansed", or accused of various crimes and massacred, or exiled When we went to Siberia and left it to fend for ourselves, the people to be purged were mainly divided into two categories. One was intellectuals and other social elites. Stalin’s intention was very clear. To eradicate a nation’s social elites, the nation would naturally go extinct; the other was farmers, eradicating By killing a large number of farmers, they can control the land and implement the land system unique to Bolshevism (the three Baltic countries hated the Soviet Union because of this, so when the Soviet Union disintegrated, these three countries were the first to declare independence from the Soviet Union. During World War II, these three countries A large number of young people in the country were forced to join the Soviet army, but more young people voluntarily joined the German army to fight the Soviet army. Even if they were occupied by the Soviet Union, there were always resistance organizations and guerrillas in these three countries, such as the "Forest Brothers" guerrillas in Estonia. The last team member died for the country in desperation in 1978, and he committed suicide rather than surrender, and his spirit was not inferior to that of the Japanese.

Not only these three countries, during World War II, the Soviet Union had a large number of puppet troops in many of the member countries, far surpassing China, and Eastern European countries sent troops to cooperate with Germany to fight the Soviet Union, because the Soviet Union is really hated and devastated).

In such a historical environment, the experience of Kazakhs can be imagined. Originally, more than 90% of the population of Kazakhs were Kazakhs, but at this time, among the more than 1000 million Kazakhs, Kazakhs accounted for only 55%, and Russians were never enough. 5% increased sharply to 40%. The former was deliberately weakened, and the latter was migrated in large numbers. This is naturally Stalin's strategy, the purpose is to assimilate Kazakhs with Russians.

It is not difficult to imagine that the Kazakhs' hatred of the Russians and the Bolsheviks can be imagined. Therefore, after the Nanjing Army came, they showed more and more warm and sincere welcome.

Almaty is rich in apples, and the suburbs are full of large apple orchards, so the local area is called "Apple City". Almaty residents who welcomed the Nanjing Army enthusiastically gave baskets of apples to the Nanjing Army, and the Nanjing Army did not refuse. Because apples are very useful, they can satisfy hunger and quench thirst, and are easy to carry. Compared with drinking water, they can supplement the body's vitamins. However, the officers and soldiers obeyed military discipline and paid the locals who delivered the apples.
