The Pei-ta-shan Incident or Battle of Baitag Bogd Mountain ((モンゴル語:Байтаг богдын тулгарал); ; alternatively ''Baitak Bogdo incident'') was a border conflict between the Republic of China and the Mongolian People's Republic. The Mongolian People's Republic became involved in a border dispute with the Republic of China, as Chinese Muslim Hui cavalry regiment was sent by the Chinese government to attack Mongol and Soviet positions. There had always been a Xinjiang police station manned by a Chinese police force with Chinese sentry posts before and after 1945. As Commander of the First Cavalry Division, Salar Muslim Major-General Han Youwen was sent to Beitashan by the Kuomintang military command to reinforce Hui Muslim General Ma Xizhen with a company of troops, approximately three months before the fighting broke out. At Pei-ta-shan, Major General Han Youwen was in command of all the Muslim cavalry defending against Soviet and Mongol forces. Han Youwen (Han Yu-wen) said "that he believed the border should be about 40 miles to the north of the mountains" to A. Doak Barnett, an American reporter.〔 Chinese Muslim and Turkic Kazakh forces working for the Chinese Kuomintang, battled Soviet and Mongol troops. In June 1947 the Mongols and the Soviets launched an attack against the Kazakhs, driving them back to the Chinese side. However, fighting continued for another year, 13 clashes taking place between 5 June 1947 and July 1948.〔 Mongolia invaded Xinjiang with the intention to assist Li Rihan, the pro-Soviet Special Commissioner, to gain control of Xinjiang, over Special Commissioner Us Man (Osman) who was pro-ROC. The Chinese defence ministry spokesman announced that Outer Mongolian soldiers were captured at Pei-ta-shan, and stated that troops were resisting near Pei-ta-shan. Elite Qinghai Chinese Muslim cavalry were sent by the Chinese Kuomintang to destroy the Mongols and the Soviets in 1947. In early June 1947, Pei-ta-shan was re-taken by Chinese troops, who continued to fight against Soviet and Mongolian bomber planes; China's Legislative Yuan demanded stronger policies against the Soviet Union in response to the Mongol invasion. The bombs started dropping from Mongol and Soviet planes on 5 June. Republic of China forces took 8 Outer Mongolian troops as prisoners while 30 horses and 2 Republic of China soldiers died in a bombing. The Republic of China issued a protest against the border attack by the Mongols and Soviets. The Republic of China accused Soviet planes of being involved in the attack. The American Ambassador to China branded the Outer Monngolian state as a tool and arm of the Soviet Union. The Soviets were aiming their intervention against the Kazakhs. The Chinese General Sung displayed captured Soviet style Mongolian military headgear and a Soviet map to the American Ambassador. The Soviet Tass news agency claimed that Mongolian officers were gruesomely murdered and mutilated. Douglas Mackiernan was sent to Peitashan on June 19, 1947. The Mongolians possesd Russian weapons which were seized from them in battle. The Kazakhs were suffering from a dearth of edible supplies. The entire Peitashan was threatened by Outer Mongol occupation according to Kazakh leader Osman. The Chinese General Ma Xizhen and the Kazakh Osman Batur fought against the Mongol troops and airplanes throughout June as fierce fighting erupted. The MPR used a battalion size force and had Soviet air support on June 1947. The Mongolians repeatedly probed the Chinese lines. The border constantly shifted around the area. In January 1948, Chinese Cavalry, numbering 700 crossed the border into Khobdo and battled against Mongolian border posts. Osman continued to fight against the Uyghur forces of the Yili regime in north Ashan after being defeated by the Soviet forces. ==See also== * Ili Rebellion 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Battle of Baitag Bogd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
