Chapter 625: Visit to the Soviet Union
The Nationalist Government is deliberately restricting the actions of the troops under the leadership of the GCD, especially the Inner Mongolia Military Region, but since Han Yunhua has already made new arrangements for the future development of the troops, he will follow Lao Jiang's wishes to be his own security commander in the northeast region with peace of mind. Moreover, there is indeed a big problem with public security in the northeast, and many small Japanese troops who have not had time to retreat have all fled into the deep mountains and old forests.
However, many units of the Inner Mongolia Military Region were originally subordinate to the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation, and if we talk about playing guerrilla warfare in the jungle and mountains, these people are the ancestors of the Japanese, and the millions of Japanese devils have encircled and suppressed the Anti-Japanese Federation for 12 years, but they have not completely eliminated the Anti-Japanese Federation, and it is even more impossible to rely on the harassment of only a few dozen small units. Moreover, there are now 1 million Chinese troops stationed in the northeast.
Since the remnants of the Japanese stranded in the northeast were very weak, Han Yunhua ordered Lu Zhengcao's department to send five regiments to fight against bandits in the northeast, and the remaining troops were immediately dispersed and stationed in major cities. Although the number of the Northeast People's Liberation Army is small, it is appropriate to manage the Northeast, so Han Yunhua ordered the troops in the northern and central parts of the Northeast to immediately go south, and Lu Zhengcao's Northeast People's Liberation Army immediately took over all the defenses of Jilin and Heilongjiang Provinces, and continued to carry out production to save themselves and restore the economy of the Northeast in accordance with the instructions of the Military Region.
At present, the situation of the world anti-fascist war is very good, the North African theater and the Pacific theater have made tremendous achievements, and the European Eastern Front has also achieved frequent successes, but the foundation of the German fascist forces has not been damaged, and the war potential is still immeasurable, so neither Stalin nor Roosevelt dares to relax.
Stalin sent a telegram on January 12 asking about the anti-fascist situation in the world and the next actions of the Soviet Union, and at the same time Roosevelt also sent a telegram to ask Han Yunhua, who expressed surprise and affirmation of Han Yunhua's superb command level and combat quality in this battle, and at the same time directly invited Han Yunhua to serve as chief of staff of the Allied forces in the Pacific Theater.
Han Yunhua knew that once he accepted the invitation of the United States, Stalin would not be able to stand it at first, because the Soviet Union had invited Han Yunhua to serve as the deputy chief of the general staff of the Soviet Red Army before, but Han Yunhua politely refused, and if he accepted the invitation of the United States at this time, Stalin himself and the entire Soviet Union would be extremely embarrassed, so Han Yunhua had to refuse the invitation of the US government for the same reason.
Refusal is rejection, but as far as it is concerned, Han Yunhua is still happy to accept the position of chief of the general staff of the Allied Pacific Theater. Unlike the deputy chief of general staff of the Soviet Red Army, this is not only because the chief of staff of the Soviet Union is a deputy post, but also because the strategic center of gravity of the United States and the Soviet Union. At this time, the Soviet Union itself was concerned about the war situation in Europe, and once the threat of the Kwantung Army was contacted, the Soviet Union could not wait to transfer troops from the Far East to Eastern Europe is the most direct evidence, so Han Yunhua will not seek much practical benefit for China by taking up the post of deputy chief of the General Staff.
However, the United States is different, because the fundamental interests of the United States are now in the Pacific Rim region, because Japan directly threatens its homeland, and if he becomes the chief of the general staff, Han Yunhua can seek benefits for the entire Chinese nation in the vicinity, so that China, a country that has suffered a lot, will suffer a little less. But now Han Yunhua could only politely refuse Roosevelt's invitation, which made Han Yunhua feel very pity.
But Han Yunhua was still happy to guide the United States and the Soviet Union in the next battle, and what Han Yunhua had to do was not to make a detailed battle plan, nor did he need to know the situation of the United States and the Soviet Union stationed in various places, he only needed to give Stalin and Roosevelt a little hint according to the Allied counterattack route in his memory. …,
Han Yunhua's reply to Stalin was sent at about 9 o'clock in the evening of the 12th, in which Han Yunhua believed that the Soviet Red Army should focus its offensive on an all-out counterattack against the German army, and that the territory that had just been recovered did not need to be dealt with for the time being. As for the places that should be attacked, Han Yunhua also gave guidance, and Han Yunhua suddenly listed a key place for Stalin to attack, which Han Yunhua called "ten Stalin assaults". In fact, these ten Stalin assaults were not imagined by Han Yunhua out of thin air, but they did happen in history, but the ten Stalin assaults in history took place in 1944, and Han Yunhua only advanced them to 1943 according to the development of the war.
Han Yunhua believed that the Soviet Union now had the ability and necessity to launch an all-out counterattack against the German-controlled Eastern Europe and other Soviet territories, and that since the threat in the Far East had been completely lifted, the Soviet Union could concentrate all its efforts on dealing with German fascism. As for the specific operational thinking and tactical guidance, Han Yunhua also put forward his own ideas, Han Yunhua believes that the morale of the current Soviet army is booming, and there is also the support of various nationalities, so it is completely possible to make use of the famous military theorist Vladimir. Kiriakovic. The theory of large-depth operations put forward by Triandafilov relied on the flexible transfer of mobile forces to carry out a series of uninterrupted strategic offensive campaigns in 10 directions of the Soviet-German front.
The entire operational concept was extremely large, including 10 overall offensives and 51 large-scale battles, and the battle front encompassed almost the entire Soviet Union, which could be said to be a strategic decisive battle between the Soviet Union and Germany.
After Han Yunhua's telegram was sent to Moscow, it aroused heated discussions among the Soviet Union's senior generals, and the vast majority of the generals believed that Han Yunhua's battle plan was too huge and had great risks, after all, Germany had not yet reached the last moment, and millions of German elites were still stationed in the Soviet Union's millions of square kilometers of land.
Although the high-ranking officers of the Soviet Union now know that the great leader often asks the opinion of the Chinese miraculous general in terms of strategy, and that General Han has indeed lived up to the trust of the great leader and the great Soviet, and has made unprecedented victories in all the battle plans formulated, although the Soviet Union has not completely reversed the unfavorable situation, these Soviet generals have completely subdued the Chinese general whom he has not yet met.
However, this battle plan was so huge that it required as many as 4.5 million troops, and as many as 51 large-scale battles. The main thing is that this huge plan was formulated by a Chinese who was not very familiar with the actual situation in the Soviet Union, and if it succeeded, it would be better to say that if it failed, it would be a disaster for the entire Soviet Union, and a major setback for the world anti-fascist war, and everyone, including Stalin, had some concerns.
On the morning of 13 July, Stalin sent another telegram to Han Yunhua, hoping that he would be able to attend a military conference at the level of the group army convened by the Soviet Union two days later.
The invitation came very suddenly, which made the central government very worried. Although it is said that the Soviet Union is now the superior organization of all the communist parties in all countries in the world, including the CCP, the communist parties of all countries are a branch of their own people, and many senior leaders of the CCP have been to the Soviet Union before, including Wang Ming before. But Han Yunhua is too important to the CCP, it is a monument in the army of the Communist Party of China, and it is the most direct manifestation of the military spirit. The most important thing is that Stalin attached great importance to Han Yunhua, or rather a little coveted. Therefore, the central government is very worried that Han Yunhua's visit to the Soviet Union will not return to the meat buns and dogs, and this is very likely.
Perhaps Stalin also knew the worries of the CPC Central Committee, so he personally sent a telegram to the CPC Central Committee assuring that the main purpose of inviting Han Yunhua to visit the Soviet Union this time was to seek Han Yunhua's guidance, because this was not only about the safety of the Soviet Union as a country, but also about the fate of all allies, including China, so the Soviet government and Stalin himself assured the CPC that Comrade Han Yunhua would be safe and that they would send someone to escort Comrade Han Yunhua back to China immediately after the meeting. …,
In view of the sincerity of the Soviet side and the fact that there was a reason for the incident, after soliciting Han Yunhua's own opinions, the CPC Central Committee agreed to Han Yunhua's visit to the Soviet Union.
Before visiting the Soviet Union, Han Yunhua sent a telegram to President Roosevelt, which was forwarded by General James of the United States in the United Air Force, and the main content of the telegram was an operational plan, which was drawn up by Han Yunhua for the first half of 1943 for the US military, and this operational plan was mainly aimed at the contention between the United States and Japan for the Pacific islands. Han Yunhua believes that the US military should engage in an all-out battle with Japan in the South Pacific during this period, on the one hand, in order to occupy Japan's major military bases, supply transfer depots, and ports in the South Pacific and destroy Japan's ability to sustain the war. On the other hand, it is for the purpose of summing up experience in future landing operations, after all, landing operations on the Japanese mainland and in Europe will be carried out in the future, and the South Pacific is the best testing ground. The second part was the Battle of the Mariana Islands, which was mainly carried out by striking at the coastal bases of the Japanese Navy and destroying the main forces of the Japanese Navy. The third part is the attack on the Indochina Peninsula by the United Nationalist Government and the British Government, which completely drove the Japanese forces out of the Indochina Peninsula and strategically completed the encirclement of Japan. The fourth part is the focus, that is, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, the Battle of Leyte Gulf was mainly to attack the main force of the Japanese Navy, and Han Yunhua hoped to calm the threat of the Japanese Navy to the Asia-Pacific Rim in World War I. Finally, Han Yunhua suggested that the allies immediately open up a second battlefield in Europe, and in particular, hold a meeting of the heads of the allies in the near future to unify their understanding and arrange the next war against fascism.
After the telegram was sent, Han Yunhua tidied up his clothes a little, and then boarded the plane and rushed to the Soviet Union under the protection of the special combat team. Originally, according to the usual practice, Han Yunhua's visit should be an official friendly visit, and Han Yunhua himself should not only go, but also Han Yunhua's wife should also accompany him. However, Han Yunhua did not take Yuhan there, because the Soviet Union is not too safe now, and whether the German planes are going to bomb it, Han Yunhua was worried about Yuhan's safety, so he didn't take her. In addition, it was too late in time, the Soviet Union's military conference was held on the 15th, and according to the time difference, Han Yunhua rushed to the venue as soon as he got off the plane, otherwise it would have been too late.
Accompanying and serving as an escort was General Bayanruf, who admired Han Yunhua, a Chinese general, and was promoted to lieutenant general of the Air Force because of his outstanding military achievements in only half a year after he came to China, but he knew that these military exploits should actually belong to the Chinese general in front of him.
This is Han Yunhua's first time going to the Soviet Union, in his previous life, he was a top student of the Amazon International Military Academy, and he also had some contacts with those Russian soldiers, but he was more of a competitor above, but this time he wanted to attend the Soviet Union's military conference as a representative of the Chinese Communist Party, Han Yunhua secretly sighed that the world is unpredictable.
The plane took off in the afternoon and arrived in Moscow at eight o'clock in the morning Moscow time, and according to Stalin's telegram, this military meeting was held in the Kremlin at half past eight. Han Yunhua was greeted at the airport by Soviet Field Marshal Konstantin. Konstantinovich. Rokossovsky.
Han Yunhua is not familiar with this Marshal of the Soviet Union, he has only heard of the name, but he knows that this Marshal of the Soviet Union is not simple, he is a victorious Marshal of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sides rushed to the Kremlin under the protection of the guards.
At this time, the Kremlin was not as luxurious as the latter, but showed a vicissitudes of life, and everywhere was scorched black after the war burned, perhaps Stalin himself would not have noticed these details at this time, let alone have the energy to send people to overhaul these palaces. …,
When Han Yunhua and others arrived at the Kremlin, the meeting had already begun, the entire Kremlin was under martial law, and even Marshal Konstantin had to be inspected by the guards.
The venue was not held in any of the palaces, but in a huge basement of the Kremlin. After receiving the report from the guards, Stalin immediately announced the suspension of the meeting, and immediately went to the door of the venue with several senior Soviet officers to greet Han Yunhua, which made all the officers present in an uproar, secretly guessing who had arrived and needed to be greeted by the great leader in person.
In fact, Han Yunhua did not expect that Stalin would receive him so ceremoniously, the accompanying person was an air force lieutenant general, the person who picked up the plane was an army marshal, and it was Stalin himself at the door of the venue, which made Han Yunhua feel flattered for the first time. In addition to Stalin, Han Yunhua really didn't know many people, it can be said that there is only one, and that is Lieutenant General Ivanov. In Han Yunhua's eyes, except for Stalin's appearance, everyone else looks the same, which is actually the same as foreigners looking at Chinese, and Ivanov has only seen him many times, so Han Yunhua can recognize him at a glance.
Han Yunhua has seen a lot of portraits of Stalin, and it is the first time he has seen a real person, such a hairstyle and iconic beard, the biggest strong feeling for Han Yunhua is the majesty of the monarch, yes, it is the monarch.
Stalin welcomed and thanked Han Yunhua for his arrival, and at the same time Stalin officially introduced Han Yunhua to all the Soviet army groups and officers at the level of military district commanders. This is not because there is a problem with the translation ability that Lu Zhengcao is looking for, but there are great differences in the culture and language of the eastern and western parts of the Soviet Union, and Stalin speaks with some hometown accents, so the translator is in a cold sweat when he listens to it.
Han Yunhua signaled him not to worry, although the translator could not translate all the words, but Han Yunhua still knew that Stalin had put a lot of high hats on his head, "China's most amazing general", "the friendliest friend of the Soviet Union", "the most outstanding strategist and conductor"
After the introduction, Stalin took out Han Yunhua's previous battle plan and asked all the senior officers at the group army level to discuss it, except for Konstantin and others who knew that this battle plan was designated by Han Yunhua, no one else knew that the military plan in their hands was formulated by Han Yunhua, the miraculous general in the mouth of the great leader just now.
After getting the battle plan, all the Soviet officers felt suffocated, this plan was too huge, although he was only a strategic battle plan, and did not talk about any grandiose words such as dominating the world and dominating the world, but those who could mix with the commander or political commissar of the group army were not fools, and the vast majority of their officers saw opportunities and risks from this battle plan.
At the end of the discussion, more than half of the officers believed that the military plan was feasible and could be carried out, but more than 40% of the officers believed that it was very popular and that it should be carried out cautiously or the scope of the attack should be reduced.
Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, Stalin motioned to the officers in the room to be quiet, and then said skillfully in Russian: "Generals, please be quiet. I can tell you that this battle plan was drawn up by the same person who drew up all the recent military plans of the Soviet Red Army, such as the later operations of the Battle of Stalingrad, the Battle of Kharkov, the Battle of Kursk, the Battle of Kipu, the Caucasus Campaign, the Ukrainian Campaign, and the just-concluded Far Eastern Campaign. You are all the actual executors of those previous battles, I think I think you have admired those who made the battle plans for a long time, maybe some of you have already guessed, yes, all the battle plans are formulated by this Chinese magic general, and at the same time our Soviet Army General Comrade Han Yunhua, you can raise any questions! ”
