Chapter 1167: Liu Yimin's Suggestion
Liu Yimin learned the news of the Japanese army's large-scale attack on the Far East from a telegram from the central authorities. The reason is that Zhao Yonggang's northward expansion task force first destroyed the Japanese army's 731 unit in Harbin, and then killed Japanese Foreign Minister Matsuoka Yoyou, the matter was too big, the Kwantung Army military police searched and detected with all their might, Zhao Yonggang and they had to evacuate the Harbin area to the Jiliao area to hide, including the anti-Japanese alliance small military engineering team that entered Harbin in advance in order to reduce unnecessary losses, which is equivalent to Liu Yimin losing the eyes to monitor the Japanese army's northward movement, It is only known that the Japanese army has transferred troops to the northeast on a large scale, but it does not know the specific attack time and deployment of the Japanese army.
The Central Committee said in a telegram that, according to an urgent report from the Soviet side, the Japanese army launched a full-scale attack on the Soviet Far East early this morning. Among them, the Japanese Navy dispatched a large number of carrier-based aircraft to bomb Vladivostok and other ports on the Far East coast, and the main target was the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Red Navy; The Kwantung Army and the DPRK Army concentrated a large number of aircraft to bomb the airfields of the Far Eastern Front, and the key targets were the aviation units of the Far Eastern Front. At the same time, the ground forces of the Kwantung Army and the DPRK Army launched a full-front attack on the front-line positions of the Far Eastern Front. Mikoyan, Stalin's envoy, had arrived in Yan'an in Xinjiang and urged me to march north. ,
In the telegram, the chairman asked Liu and Luo how the preparations for the attack on Shanghai were going and when they could start. If Shanghai could not be attacked, it would not be able to shake the Japanese army, and it would not be able to force the Japanese army to withdraw its troops from the Far East.
In the telegram, the chairman also asked Liu and Luo to study whether to launch a campaign in Shandong as soon as possible in accordance with the battle plan to smash the defense line of the Japanese army blockading our base area in central and southern Shandong. At the very least, it is necessary to force the Japanese army to surrender from the Shanxi battlefield, reduce the pressure of the Japanese army on the Shanxi battlefield, and allow our army in Shanxi to rest and recover.
At this time, Liu Yimin was guiding the modification of the ship at the Shijiu Institute, allowing the cannon to be put on the warship and rearming the warship. This guy is not good. It is easy to dismantle the heavy guns on naval warships and turn them into fortress guns and shore defense guns, but it is not easy to change infantry field guns into naval guns. And also. When the Japanese army transports troops. Tanks, armored vehicles, and cars can be loaded on ships very easily, and that's because they have special troop carriers, landing ships, and it doesn't take much trouble. The shipwreck of Shen Honglie, which the Eighth Route Army returned from Qingdao Nong, blocked the shipping lane, and the warships of the former Northeast Navy were all warships, and they were unarmed warships. What cargo ships are included, carrying infantry can. Carrying tanks, armored vehicles, and automobiles, you have to think about it, at least so that tanks, armored vehicles, and cars can be driven directly on ships. It can also quickly drive off the ship.
There is the guidance of the naval talents that Ni Hua brought back from the United States. It's not that these things can't be done, but they take time.
After reading the telegram, Liu Yimin had an indescribable complicated feeling in his heart.
Speaking of the Soviet Union, he only talked about Stalin's dictatorship, the destruction of the industrial base of Northeast China by the Soviet Red Army, and the refusal of the Soviet Union to return the territory occupied by Tsarist Russia and the planning of foreign independence. It seems that the Soviet Union did not do a good thing for China. This is not the case, for example, on the issue of the Northeastern Territories. When the Soviet power in the Soviet Union was first established, it was facing imperialist intervention, was very isolated in the world, and longed to build a relationship with China, while Lenin wrote an article attacking China as early as when the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded China, exposing the aggressive nature of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces. Later, after the establishment of Soviet power, Lenin promised to abolish all unequal treaties signed between Tsarist Russia and China and return Chinese territory. The Soviet government also twice declared the abrogation of the unequal treaties between Tsarist Russia. It's just that Beiyang Zhengfu is a traitor in the final analysis, busy fighting for power and fighting civil wars, and the regime is unstable, where will he recover the land far away in the Far East! In this way, the best opportunity to regain the lost territory was missed, and after Lenin's death, the Soviet Red Army eliminated the White Guards in the Far East and drove out foreign intervention troops, and Stalin did not want to return it. Next, the little devil launched the 918 Incident, Zhang Xueliang did not let go of the northeast without letting go of a shot, and Chiang Kai-shek was busy fighting outside the country and first securing the interior, who would care about the land cut by Tsarist Russia? In the final analysis, it's to blame the Beiyang political fu and the national political fu for not being angry! However, at this time, it was not the era in which Liu Yimin lived before he crossed over, or Stalin, and he had to admit that the east of the Ussuri River, including Vladivostok and Sakhalin, was a disputed area, and the Chinese would not recognize it as Soviet territory.
Also, the Soviet Red Army sent troops to the northeast to destroy the million Kwantung Army, but unlike what some indignant young people on the Internet said later, the Kwantung Army was purely an empty shelf, and the Soviet Red Army did not need to send troops at all, it was Stalin who had to send troops in order to grab profits. Now Liu Yimin has been fighting with the Japanese army for so long, and he knows very well that although all the Jingrui in the history of the Kwantung Army have been transferred to the Pacific Theater, with the fighting will and equipment of the Japanese army, if it were not for the Soviet Army's all-out attack on the great victory of the capture of Berlin, it is difficult to say what the result would have been with the equipment and morale and training level of the Eighth Route Army in history. The reason why the Eighth Route Army has achieved great results now is because Liu Yimin has crossed.
Moreover, after the Soviet Red Army occupied the northeast, it did not handle the relationship with our party well, as some people say, and pulled all the weapons and ammunition captured by the Japanese army back to the Soviet Union, and did not support our army in the northeast. If that were the case, it would be impossible for our army in the northeast to have such equipment in a short period of time and be able to bombard the Jinzhou city fortifications with more than 200 mén heavy artillery. Think about it, during the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the most sharp troops of the Eighth Route Army only had some mortars. Occasionally, a Type 92 infantry gun was captured, and later it was transformed into a successful cannon.
Now, the Japanese army is attacking the Red Army in the Far East on a large scale, and Liu Yimin only needs to read the telegram once to know that the Japanese army and navy are doing their best. The navy was tantamount to a rehearsal for a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and with the strength of the Soviet Red Navy's Pacific Fleet, which did not have a single aircraft carrier, only two cruisers, and a group of destroyers, it was not an opponent of the Japanese Navy at all, and it was very likely that it would be completely annihilated under the air attack of the Japanese Navy's carrier-based aircraft; In terms of the army, although Liu Yimin did not know how many troops the Kwantung Army had mobilized, he knew that during the Guan special exercise in history, the Kwantung Army gathered 700,000 troops on the Sino-Soviet border in the northeast, and this force was not something that the Soviet Far East Front could contend with. The reason is simple, the quality of commanders at all levels of the Japanese army was much higher than that of the Soviet Red Army in the Far East. Moreover, since the Japanese army has begun to fight hard, the number of planes of the Kwantung Army must greatly exceed the number of aircraft in the history of the Kwan special exercise, at least there are more naval carrier-based aircraft. In this way, it became inevitable that the Japanese army would strike first at the Red Army aviation in the Soviet Far East. As long as the Japanese army seized air supremacy, it would be useless even if the mass of the tanks of the Red Army in the Far East far exceeded that of the Japanese tanks, it was just to provide air targets for the Japanese air forces.
Liu Yimin's eyes seemed to be shaking the heroic Soviet Red Army soldiers braving the Japanese artillery fire and fighting bravely, and he seemed to see the hideous faces of the Japanese pilots. But at the same time, Liu Yimin's eyes shook the image of the 46-tun tragedy in Jiangdong and the desperate faces of the purged Chinese in the Far East.
Shaking his head vigorously, Liu Yimin sat down and called back to the central authorities, reporting that it was impossible to attack Shanghai now, mainly because there were not enough ships, and it would take time to manufacture motorized ironclad wooden ships, even ordinary wooden ships, and it would not be possible to act until the end of August or early September at the earliest. If we don't use wooden boats and attack south by land, we will lose the suddenness of the battle, and if our army can't hit the Yangtze River, the devils will mobilize a large army to encircle and chase and intercept it, and the gains outweigh the losses. In order to cooperate with the Red Army in the Soviet Far East, our army in Shandong completed mobilization in July and planned to launch an all-out attack in August, but it could not be attacked in a big way, because if it did so, it would easily attract the attention of the Japanese naval fleet to Shandong and affect our combat operations in Shanghai in the south.
At the end of the telegram, Liu Yimin reported to the Central Committee that the Soviet side should be asked to report on the Far East war report in a timely manner, so as to facilitate the analysis of the battlefield situation and cooperate with the action. At the same time, is it possible to immediately telegraph to Comrade Stalin that, judging from the number of the Japanese army's motive group this morning, the Japanese army is mobilizing its army and navy to launch a nationwide war. In this case, it was already difficult to defeat the Japanese army by relying only on the strength of the Far Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army. In particular, in the Far East, the front line is long, the defense line is long, there are fortifications everywhere, and there are leaks everywhere, so it is easy for the Japanese army to penetrate and divide and encircle. In view of the dangerous situation in which the Soviet Union was fighting on two fronts, the preservation of the main forces should be the first priority, and it was necessary to preserve the main forces of the Far Eastern Front from being damaged. In this way, the Far Eastern Front will be able to shrink its defensive line, concentrate its main forces, and clench its fists to hit people. Only by concentrating the main forces to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army can the situation in the Far East be stabilized.
When he wrote this, Liu Yimin's eyes saw the blood on the battlefield in the Far East again
ou sideways scenes. He knew that the strategy and tactics of the Soviets were different from those of the Chinese; because of the strong national strength, the Soviet army pursued the doctrine of artillery, and after the establishment of the Soviet Union, the whole country was unified and attached great importance to the border defense line. If this is the case, then it is the Japanese army's trick. As long as the Japanese army dealt with the Pacific Fleet and the aviation of the Far Eastern Front and seized air supremacy, no matter how strong the fortifications were, they could not withstand artillery bombardment and aircraft bombardment. As soon as the Japanese army breaks through the defensive line, it may encircle the main forces of the Far Eastern Front into an encirclement, which will cause serious trouble.
Liu Yimin continued to write: "I must convey to Comrade Stalin that in the current Far Eastern battlefield, we must take the preservation of the main force of the Red Army in the Far East as the first goal, the Ural front line as the final line of defense to the death, and the highest goal at present must be to avoid a joint attack by Germany and Japan on the hinterland of the Soviet Union. If the main forces of the Red Army in the Far East are lost, the USSR will not be far away! ”
After writing, Liu Yimin called He Xinghua, who came with him to Shijiu, and ordered him to send it out immediately!
