On December 14, 1825, a group of young aristocratic officers who participated in the "Northern Society" and the "Southern Society" launched an uprising against the Tsar, with the aim of abolishing serfdom and Tsar** and establishing a constitutional monarchy. Because the uprising took place in December, those who participated in the uprising were called the December Decembrists. After the failure of the uprising, the tsar ordered the hanging of five chieftains and the exile of the remaining more than 100 people to Siberia. So the Decembrists set out from St. Petersburg for four years and arrived in a deserted town in Eastern Siberia, where they set up camp. This deserted town is now the central city of Chita Prefecture in the Soviet Union and the seat of the headquarters of the Far Eastern Front.

At this time, Chita was no longer a winter camp built by Russian explorers in 1653, nor was it a deserted town when the party first arrived in December, but an important transportation hub in the Transbaikal region with a permanent population of 120,000. Unfortunately, most of the houses in the center of Chita are wooden houses, which were bombed by the little devil's plane, and they were reduced to piles of ashes.

The commander of the Far Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army, General Apanashchenko, was in a hurry at this time, and his mouth was full of water bubbles, and his voice became hoarse.

After the Japanese army launched a surprise attack on July 26, first the naval carrier-based aircraft and the army air force bombed frantically for a whole day, and the Red Army pilots on the relatively hidden airfields that were not discovered by the Japanese army bravely met the enemy, but unfortunately the Japanese army came prepared and made a surprise attack, and the Japanese navy's carrier-based aircraft Zero fighters were advanced in function, and the planes of the Soviet Red Army in the Far East were not opponents, and the Japanese army this time transferred the Kwantung Army, the Chinese dispatch army, and the local army aviation to participate in the war, and the number of planes was huge. At the end of the day, not only were all the surface ships of the Pacific Fleet wiped out, but even the more than 2,000 planes of the Far Eastern Front were basically destroyed. In the next few days, the Japanese planes, which had gained air supremacy, went crazy and opened the way for the ground offensive department of the army, bombing the positions of the front-line corps of the Far Eastern Front and the Japanese army to pieces, forcing the front-line corps of the Far Eastern Front to retreat without stopping. There was no way, the Japanese attacking troops were under the cover of aircraft. Concentrate artillery fire, open the way with artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles, like a meat knife, and hit the joint units of the front-line troops of the Far Eastern Front, and if they do not retreat in time, they will soon be divided and annihilated by the Japanese army piece by piece.

When the Japanese army first began to attack. General Apanashchenko did not realize that the situation on the battlefield would be so sinister, and he still wanted to take advantage of the mechanized superiority of the Far Eastern Front to carry out a counter-assault and drive the devils out of the border! Because of his experience in the battle of Zhanggufeng and the Battle of Nomenhan, General Apanashchenko believed that with the strength of the Far Eastern Front, there would be no problem in keeping the little devils outside the national border. Who knew that after the fight started, it was not like that at all, the Japanese army was fighting with all the strength of the country, and the Far Eastern Front could not get rear support at all due to the all-out offensive of the German devils on the Western Front. On the contrary, the Western Front is still looking forward to the Far Eastern Front being able to draw the main forces to reinforce it! In this way, the Far Eastern Front fought alone, which was exactly the opposite of the scene at the Battle of Normenhan.

Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army bombed the Japanese mainland, forcing the Japanese army to transfer back the planes drawn from the Chinese army and the mainland, and even three aircraft carriers, otherwise the pressure on the Far Eastern Front would have been even greater.

The Red Army in the Far East, which had lost air supremacy, was passive and attacked everywhere, and the armored clusters could not show their faces, and if they appeared, they would be frantically besieged by the Japanese air clusters. Heavy losses.

By this time. Senior General Apanashchenko knew how valuable the theory of the battle in depth put forward by the purged Marshal of the Red Army, Marshal Tuvacevsky, if not defense in depth. I am afraid that the Far Eastern Front will not support it for more than a week, and the defense line will collapse on all fronts.

The order from Moscow was to General Apanashchenko to gradually shrink the defensive line, concentrate his forces, annihilate the Japanese army all the way, and then take advantage of the situation to repel the Japanese attack and drive them out of the country.

Liu Yimin's suggestion was to ask the Far Eastern Front to shrink its defensive line, clench its fists, seek opportunities to annihilate the enemy, protracted the war of resistance, and ensure the safety of the Urals front. However, after studying it, the Soviets believed that the Far Eastern Front had strong troops, and as long as it could annihilate the Japanese army all the way, it would be able to repel the Japanese attack and drive them out of the country. Therefore, the order they issued to the Far Eastern Front was revised on the basis of Liu Yimin's suggestion, turning Liu Yimin's suggestion of gradual shrinkage to the Urals into taking advantage of the situation to drive the Japanese army out of the country. It is difficult to say whether this change is a blessing or a curse.

The current situation was that the Japanese offensive was strong and ferocious, and the long defensive line of the Far Eastern Front was oppressed by the Japanese at every turn.

Due to the loss of all surface ships of the Pacific Fleet and the inability to provide support to the garrison troops, the situation on North Sakhalin Island was precarious under the attack of the Japanese Army's Huatai ** Mixed Brigade and the First Marine Corps of the South Sakhalin Island, which had been replenished and expanded to the size of divisions, and the remnants of the defenders had withdrawn to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk City to hold on, and it was a matter of time before Sakhalin Island fell completely.

In Vladivostok, the Japanese Combined Fleet has controlled the sea dominance, the submarine force of the Taiping Fleet is still fighting bravely with the Japanese Combined Fleet, and the C-56 Guards submarine has performed outstandingly, and has sunk a Japanese supply ship, a Japanese submarine, and a Japanese destroyer, but the Japanese Combined Fleet is strong, and the submarine force is facing the joint encirclement and suppression of Japanese submarines and anti-submarine ships, in order to avoid greater losses, Admiral Apanashchenko has ordered them to withdraw from the battle, go to rendezvous with the Northern Fleet, and join the Northern Fleet. Without the support of the Pacific Fleet, the defense of Vladivostok, Soviet Port and other harbor cities became extremely difficult, and under the double cover of the carrier-based aircraft and naval guns of the Japanese Combined Fleet, the Japanese marines had opened a breakthrough on the long coastline between Vladivostok and Soviet Port, successfully landed, severed the connection between Vladivostok and Soviet Port, and formed a north-south flank attack on Vladivostok with the Japanese Korean troops attacking from the south, and fought fiercely with the shore-based artillery and garrison troops of the Taiping Fleet that held the Vladivostok fortress. General Apanashchenko was ready to order the Vladivostok defenders to retreat. However, the defenders of Vladivostok and Port Sovet could not retreat yet, they had to attract Japanese troops and cover the retreat of government offices and residents in the Far East.

The situation on the southern and eastern fronts became more and more dangerous, prompting General Apanashchenko to concentrate all his efforts on a counterattack and deal a head-on blow to the Japanese army.

In the first few days of early August, the momentum of Japanese bombing was noticeably weakened, and this situation had been keenly captured by General Apanashchenko, who was ready to organize a counterattack.

The main target chosen by General Apanashchenko was the Japanese army from Manchuria to the north. Because the Japanese army cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway, it directly affected the dispatch of troops and generals of the Far Eastern Front, and even threatened to cut off the defense line of the Far Eastern Front.

Senior General Apanashchenko's plan was to first order the 1st Army, the 2nd Army, and the 15th Army, the main forces of the Far Eastern Front, which were in direct confrontation with the Japanese army, to retreat, and to deploy the 25th Army and the 35th Army of the combined arms, which were urgently organized, on the third line of defense, to take over the defensive line of the retreating First Army, the Second Army, and the 15th Army, to block the Japanese army, and the main force of the front army to move westward to counterattack the Japanese army moving north from Manchuria. The Northern Cluster confronted the Japanese Marines and the Korean Army on the Eastern Front.

On 9 August, the Far Eastern Front submitted its operational plan, which was approved by the National Defense Committee on the same day.

That night, General Apanashchenko gave the order for the battle. The battle order made it very clear that the northern cluster on the eastern front and the 25th and 35th armies of the third line of defense must hold out for seven days, cover the main forces of the front army to complete the assembly, and launch a counterattack against the enemy.

Originally, this plan was also feasible. If he is replaced by a senior general of the Eighth Route Army, he will definitely arrange a pocket formation first, carry out an ambush, and then take advantage of the situation to counterattack. The Soviet army is well equipped, has a mechanized advantage, a large group of artillery and tanks, and does not need to be so troublesome, as long as the troops are in place, they can directly fight hard with the hard, and use superior forces to counterattack the Japanese army all the way and pursue it. It is a pity that the adjustment of the deployment of General Apanashchenko fell into the eyes of General Umezu Mijiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army who was sitting in Harbin to command the overall situation. Because Umezu Mijiro had a trump card in his hand that he did not play, that is, an armored assault group composed of the 2nd Tank Division, the 3rd Tank Division, the 2nd Mechanized Division, and the 23rd Division. What was prepared was to quickly attack when the Soviet defense line was shaking, outflank the main forces of the Far Eastern Front in a roundabout way, and fight a war of annihilation.

Umezu Mijiro and Okamura Ninji have a fight, and they are both serious and meticulous people who don't fight uncertain battles. In this northward advance operation, Umezu Mijiro adopted the usual method of the Japanese army, that is, to send spies and small units to infiltrate in advance, not only sending small Japanese troops, but also organizing two remnant White Russian special forces and a cavalry unit of the puppet Mongolian army to sneak across the border defense line in advance, engage in infiltration, sabotage, spread rumors, and reconnoiter the movements of the Soviet army.

On the night of August 9, as soon as the main forces of the Soviet forces in the Far East, which had withdrawn to the second line of defense, moved, Umezu Yoshijiro sent a telegram to the base camp, saying that the opportunity had come to completely defeat the Soviet forces in the Far East, and asking for permission to use the armored group to attack. The Japanese army base camp looked forward to victory, and its eyes were green, and they immediately approved Umezu Mijiro to carry it out immediately.

Umezu Yoshijiro immediately issued a combat order, ordering all units that were attacking the second line of defense of the Soviet army to attack on all fronts, pounce on them, entangle the main force of the Soviet army, and make it impossible for it to retreat smoothly; The armored group, which had long been on standby, was ordered to take advantage of the darkness of the night to secretly move to the front line to meet the enemy, and after dawn to break through the positions of the third line of defense of the Soviet army under the cover of aircraft, outflank the main force of the Soviet army in a roundabout way, and encircle the main force of the Soviet army into the encirclement.
