It's not that unbelieveable that "politically unreliable units" may be disarmed, and interred. The Soviets have a fairly long history of doing just that (more on an individual or small group basis though).
Siberia is a great place for a Gulag...
However, it may be more effective for the more unreliable units to be assigned suicide missions (often without the commanders knowledge of the true strategic situation). Using these units as "speed bumps" to slow down a Chinese counter offensive is a good example of this.
