Pei-ta-shan Incident
Encyclopedia
The Pei-ta-shan 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 General Han Youwen
was sent to Beitashan by the Kuomintang military command to reinforce 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.
Chinese Muslim and Turkic Kazakh forces working for the Chinese Kuomintang
, battled Soviet Russian 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-Russian 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.

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 Russia in response to the Mongol invasion. The bombs started dropping from Mongol and Soviet planes on June 5.
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 Mongol citizens.
Osman continued to fight against the Uyghur forces of the Yili regime in north Ashan after being defeated by the Soviet forces.
