Chapter 229: Eastern Theater of Operations
War is the highest form of struggle between political groups, between nationalities, and between countries, and is an armed struggle between two parties to achieve certain political and economic goals, a supreme and most violent means of settling disputes, and usually the quickest and most effective solution.
War is the highest form of politics, and problems that cannot be resolved through political negotiations can only be resolved through this highest form of politics. It is the most extreme manifestation of political struggle. When the territorial issue between China and the Soviet Union could not be resolved through negotiations, China could only choose this most extreme, quickest, and most effective means of war to solve the problem.
With a strong national indignation against the old and new tsars, Deng Feng commanded China's millions of lions to launch a preemptive and ferocious attack on the invincible polar bear of the Soviet army with an unprecedented new style of play. directs one of the most magnificent war pictures in human history.
In order to obscure the transmission of information from the Soviet army. The Chinese Air Force used a large-scale electrical damage weapon, an electromagnetic bomb.
The application of electromagnetic bombs on the battlefield is primarily the destruction of the enemy's electronic systems. The more sensitive the radio-electronic system, the more likely it is to be destroyed by the powerful electromagnetic field that is instantly released when the electromagnetic bomb explodes. It served as the main weapon of the Chinese Far East Corps in carrying out information strikes against the Soviet army, and achieved extraordinary results.
At the beginning of the "Bear Hunt Operation," the Chinese Far East Corps dropped electromagnetic bombs on the Soviet army's radar stations and air defense units, causing tremendous electronic damage to the air defense system, commonly used command and communications systems, and other military and civilian electronic equipment in most areas of the Soviet Far East Military District, with the result that most of the electronic components in the Soviet army's equipment were burned and penetrated, causing serious damage, and paralyzing the radar system and the command and communication system of the antiaircraft artillery. As soon as the Soviet electronic launch entity was discovered, the Air Force's electronic countermeasures aircraft carried out precise strikes against it from the air.
This kind of electromagnetic suppression of the Soviet army, which has both 'hard destruction' and 'soft destruction,' successfully paralyzed the Soviet army's battlefield "neural network" system, making the Soviet army deaf, dumb, and blind.
Subsequently, the Air Force of the Chinese Far East Corps carried out an unscrupulous large-scale bombardment of 44 airfields and anti-aircraft artillery positions of the Soviet Army. At the beginning of the war, the Soviet Far East Air Force could only watch as its 2,000 or so planes were destroyed on the ground. In one fell swoop, the Air Force of the Chinese Far East Corps seized air supremacy over the entire theater.
Asymmetry, complete asymmetry, this is a war of unilateral information transparency and generational separation, and it is a completely new mode of war that the commanders of the Soviet army at all levels could never have imagined in any way. However, whether or not we can recover the territory occupied by the Soviet Union for several generations depends on the hard work and real skills of the ground forces.
In the winter of the Northeast, the snow is white, thousands of miles of ice, the cold is green, and the north wind is called dry mulberry. The thick ice has no cracks, and there is a cold light in the short term, and the branches of the ** trees do not leave half a piece of green, enduring the howling cold wind from Siberia in the cold winter of several months
The 2nd Group Army of the Shenyang Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, in accordance with the order of Deng Feng, commander of the Far East Corps, the unified commander-in-chief of the war against the Soviet Union, began to enter the preset offensive position on the right bank of the Heilongjiang River at about 20 o'clock on the evening of 10 February. Opposite them were Hailanpao, a Chinese territory occupied by Tsarist Russia through the unequal Treaties of Aihui and Yanjing, and Jiangdong 64tun, which was forcibly seized by Tsarist Russia.
Jiangdong 64, a territory of 3,600 square kilometers, has never recognized the legal surname of Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union to occupy this territory, whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Beiyang Dynasty, the Kuomintang Republic of China or the People's Republic of China. It is also undisputed Chinese territory in accordance with the provisions of the two unequal treaties imposed on the Chinese people, the Treaty of Aihun and the Treaty of Yanjing.
Jiangdong 64 Tun refers to the left bank of the Heilongjiang River, starting from the mouth of the Jingqili River on the opposite bank of Heihe Town, Aihui County, and going south to the opposite bank of Holmojintun in Sunwu County, with a length of about 140 li from north to south and a width of 50-70 li from east to west. It has long been a place where Chinese lived, and there have been 64 Chinese residential villages in history, so people are accustomed to call it Jiangdong 64 Tun. Jiangdong 64 Tun is inhabited by nearly 35,000 Chinese residents such as Han, Manchu and Daur ethnic groups, "the land is rich, the people are diligent in farming, the annual output of grain, and the whole province is rich", it is the richest place in the middle reaches of Heilongjiang.
In 1858, Tsarist Russia took advantage of the Anglo-French alliance to attack China and forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the unequal Sino-Russian Treaty of Aihui, which stipulated that Heilongjiang was the border between China and Russia, and ceded a large area of Chinese land in Jiangzuo. However, Article 1 of the treaty stipulated the following in the 64 tuns located on the left bank of the Heilongjiang River and inhabited by the Chinese for generations: "The original Manchurians and others shall be allowed to live forever in the tuns where they live, and shall remain under the administration of the ministers and officials of the Manchukuo, and the Russians shall be reconciled and shall not be violated." "According to the terms of this treaty, the Chinese have the right of residence in 64 Tun, and the Chinese political axe has jurisdiction over the people there. However, in 1900 (the 26th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty), when the Eight-Power Coalition invaded China, Tsarist Russia took the opportunity to expel the Chinese from Jiangdong 64 Tun across the river. In July 1900, the Russian military police received an order to "eliminate the Chinese in our territory without asking for instructions." On July 17, Russia sent an army across the Jingqili River and pounced on Jiangdong 64 Tun. The Russian army drove a large number of people "into a big house" and set fire to them, and less than half of them escaped. The Russian army burned down the houses of Chinese residents along the river, one by one. The Chinese residents who escaped death helped the old and the young and fled to the Heilongjiang River, but because of the river blockage, they could not go around, so they had to sleep on the river beach, crying miserably. In an instant, the Russian cavalry pursued, the shooting rained down, and the blood of the Chinese residents once again stained the water of the Heilongjiang River. On July 18, another Russian army crossed the Jingqili River and continued to burn the "Manchu Village", shooting and killing thousands of Chinese residents in Bordotun alone. Those who have not crossed the river, men and women, young and old, farmers, craftsmen, and people from all walks of life, are forced into the river together. Except for dozens of people who swam across the river bank to survive, the rest of the people were forced to drown in the river, and the floating corpses covered the river endlessly
This is how Tsarist Russia occupied this upper land. After the Sino-Russian peace agreement in 1902, although the Qing Dynasty political axe repeatedly negotiated and demanded restitution, the Russian political axe adopted various rogue means to refuse the original Chinese people living in this area to return to their homeland where they had lived for generations. The Jiangdong 64 Tun issue has become a historical unsolved case.
It was not until 1991 that when the People's Republic of China and the former Soviet Union demarcated the border, the then President of the People's Republic of China [***] signed a treaty with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, and the People's Republic of China officially recognized the renunciation of sovereignty over the area.
Hailan Pao was originally named Mengjiatun, and later changed its name to Hailan Pao. It is the transliteration of the Mongolian word "Hara Pao", which means black bubble, and is an important town on the north bank of the upper and middle reaches of the Heilongjiang River. It is located on the opposite bank of Heihe County, Heilongjiang Province. In May 1858, Tsarist Russia forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the unequal Sino-Russian Aihui Treaty, which included a large area of Chinese territory north of Heilongjiang, including Hailanpao, into Russian territory, and renamed Hailanpao "Blagoveshchensk" as the capital of Amur Province. By 1900, the population of Hailan Paocheng had grown to 38,000, 30,000 of whom were Chinese, mainly engaged in commerce, handicrafts, vegetable production, and selling labor as hard laborers, and operated more than 500 large and medium-sized businesses.
Chinese On the same day as the 64 Tun massacre, the Tsarist Russian police station in Hailanpao City drove all the Chinese they had been detained to the river, falsely claiming to have crossed them across the river by boat. After arriving at the river, the Russian soldiers waved their swords and drove all the Chinese "all the way into the water." "While the women threw their children ashore and begged to spare at least their lives, the Russian soldiers grabbed the babies, put them on bayonets and cut them into pieces". A mother who "left her baby on the shore while she walked into the river herself", but after walking a few steps, came back and carried the child into the water, and finally had to go ashore to "drop off her precious child", and the inhumane Russian soldiers stabbed the child and his mother with a knife. The list of examples of such cruelty is endless. A Tsarist Russian officer who participated in the massacre described the whole process of the massacre as follows: "When we arrived in Verkhniy Blagoveshchensk, the eastern sky was red, and the water of the Heilongjiang River was like blood. …… The Russian army, armed with bayonets, surrounded the crowd and constantly compressed the encirclement. The officers waved their swords and shouted frantically: 'Whoever does not obey the order, shoot immediately!' ’…… The crowd began to fall like an avalanche into the turbid current of the Heilongjiang River. The crowd shouted like crazy, the sound shook the blue sky, and some wanted to desperately break away from the flow of people and drill out of the net; Some trampled on the women and babies who had been crushed and tried to escape. These men were either kicked into the air by the horse's hooves or stabbed to the ground by the cavalry's bayonets. Immediately, the Russian soldiers opened fire. The shouting, crying, gunshots, and angry shouts were all mixed together, and the misery was indescribable, and it was a hellish scene. "The clean-up of the site began immediately after a bloody massacre. …… Most of the piles of 'corpses' were living people with breathless breath, with liver and brain splashing all over their bodies, and their flesh and blood were in disarray. …… Whether it is dead or alive, it is thrown into the river by an ancient mind. …… After cleaning. The water of the Heilongjiang River floated half-dead people like rafts, and all that remained in the vast pool of blood on the riverbank was scattered shoes, hats, and baggage. Even these relics have been ravaged to the point of being incomplete. ”
The Chinese on the other side of the strait also witnessed this tragedy. Yang Jigong, the deputy commander of Aihui, wrote: "At 11 o'clock before noon on the 21st (July 17th of the Gregorian calendar), looking at the other side, the Russians drove countless overseas Chinese circles around the riverside, and the noise shook the wilderness. A careful glance at the Russian soldiers each holding knives and axes, slashing east and west, breaking corpses and bones, sonic shock sour nose, the seriously injured died on the shore, the lightly injured died in the river, and the uninjured were drowned, and the bones overflowed, covering the rivers and oceans. "This horrific massacre lasted from July 17 to July 21, claiming the lives of more than 5,000 Chinese compatriots. On July 22, the Amur political axe announced that all Hailan Chinese had been "purged."
In his essay "The War in China", Lenin angrily condemned this crime of Tsarist Russia.
Hailan Pao, the vast and fertile land that originally belonged to the territory of the Chinese nation, has since changed its belonging.
In the plan for the "Bear Hunt Operation" on political mobilization, it is stipulated: "It is necessary to extensively publicize the crimes of Tsarist Russia in occupying our territory and killing our compatriots in various forms throughout the party and the whole army, so as to arouse the national indignation and patriotic enthusiasm of all party members and PLA commanders and fighters, and to educate the broad masses of party members and PLA commanders and fighters not to forget this class hatred and not to be confused by the so-called Soviet socialist big brother with the "Hailan Pao and 64 Tun Massacre." Russia is the most vicious neighbor that has done the most harm to the Chinese nation and is the sworn enemy of the Chinese nation. It is necessary to educate the broad masses of party members and cadres and PLA commanders and fighters that the Chinese are not easy to bully, and blood debts must be repaid with blood! ”
The 100,000 iron cavalry of the 2nd Group Army of the Shenyang Military Region crossed the Heilongjiang River in two routes to recover the lost territory with this kind of hatred for the Russians and the determination that the blood debt must be repaid with blood.
The 1st Road, the 1st Armored Division and the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division will cross the Heilongjiang River from the east and north of Heihe County, and attack the 34th Tank Division and the 35th Motorized Infantry Division of the 45th Army of the Soviet Far East Military District and the 44th Frontier Regiment and the 45th Frontier Regiment of the General Directorate of the KGB Border Guards of the Soviet Union on the opposite bank, and demand the repayment of the blood debt from the Soviet Army, the descendants of Tsarist Russia, who owed huge blood debts to the Chinese and the people in the Jiangdong 64 Tun and Hailan Bubble Bloody Cases. Recovering the richest and most beautiful places of our great motherland, the 2nd Route will cross the Heilongjiang River from Xunke County and launch an attack on the 36th Motorized Infantry Division of the 45th Army of the Soviet Far Eastern Military District and the 48th Frontier Regiment of the KGB Frontier in the Boyarkovo and Reichsinsk regions. After success, he attacked to the east in the area of Obruchiye and Birakan and Bila, and after success, he turned south in the direction of Khabarovsk and attacked Birobidzhan.
In the large primeval forest on the right bank of the east and north of the Heilongjiang River in Heihe County, the surroundings are surprisingly quiet, and thousands of troops and horses are ambushed in this surprisingly quiet deep mountain forest. Destroyer tanks, wheeled armored vehicles, and tracked personnel carriers hid in patches of red pine forests at the Siberian tigers that were ambushed one by one, and the muzzles of hundreds of artillery pieces were marked with coordinates and firing at the targets of the first round of strikes on the left bank where the Soviet troops were entrenched.
