Chapter 587: Returning the favor
Although the Eastern Crusade of the Inner Mongolia Military Region has ended, its influence has not diminished in the slightest, but is still rapidly expanding. The reason is simple: both sides have different opinions on the outcome of the battle, with both sides claiming that their side has won a decisive victory and the other side has suffered a crushing defeat. In addition, there is also a huge gap between the two sides regarding the casualties of the other side and the losses of their own side, and there is no consensus between the two sides.
So an even more jaw-dropping battle unfolded between the newspaper and the radio, the war of words is a relatively technical battle, Han Yunhua really does not have much experience in this regard, and the high-level intellectuals of the Inner Mongolia Military Region are also very limited, although the evidence is sufficient, but there are some things that are really not suitable for exposure now, so the two sides quarreled fiercely in the newspaper.
Where there is controversy, there is concern, and where there is concern, the impact will not decline. On the second day after the end of the Eastern Crusade War, Han Yunhua received a telegram from the Central Committee to congratulate the Inner Mongolia Military Region for taking the initiative to attack and deal a major blow to the Japanese puppet army in the northeast.
Later, the Nationalist Government, the Soviet Union, the United States, and several other anti-fascist alliance forces also sent congratulatory telegrams one after another, congratulating ** on once again achieving an unprecedented victory in the northern battlefield. Because of the presence of Colonel Mesler and Colonel Paul, both the United States and the Soviet Union were very clear about the achievements of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, so the United States and the Soviet Union did not make any other expression about Japan's boasting at this time, except that they were very helpless and scoundrels.
Compared with the U.S. government, Stalin obviously trusted Han Yunhua more and attached more importance to this battle. After the war, he ordered General Bayanruf to ask Han Yunhua directly for instructions, hoping that Han Yunhua could give guidance on the situation in the European theater.
Stalin's character was extremely strong, in the era of his rule, he was the only voice on the land of the Soviet Union, and any doubts and objections were annihilated in the purge again and again, and Stalin himself was responsible for all the battles on the entire Soviet-German battlefield, and Stalin himself knew whether it was good or not. At the end of the Battle of Stalingrad two months ago, Stalin did not adopt all of the suggestions put forward by Han Yunhua, but selectively adopted a few, and as for the warning put forward by Han Yunhua, Stalin did not take it too seriously, so he continued to march in the direction of Kharkov.
The results of the battle have already come out, and the Battle of Kharkov The Soviet Union was once again defeated, and the losses were much heavier than in history, which directly led to the fact that a small battle in history was directly crowned with the level of a campaign. In this battle, the Soviet Union directly lost four and a half armies, and 250,000 troops were annihilated by the German army, which was the first large-scale loss suffered by the Soviet Union after the Battle of Stalingrad.
On the other hand, the other armies were progressing smoothly, making great breakthroughs in a very short period of time, and Stalin immediately regretted not listening to the warnings of the Chinese comrades. At this time, it happened to be reported that the Inner Mongolia Military Region had once again inflicted heavy losses on the invincible Japan in the Far East, and Stalin hurriedly went to find out the original text of the telegram sent by Han Yunhua at that time, this time it was much more carefully read than the last time, and this time Stalin also invited General Zhukov, the commander-in-chief of the defense of Stalingrad, to Moscow, and the two of them discussed for a full five hours, and finally realized the true value of this telegram.
In the eyes of Stalin and Zhukov, the young Chinese comrade whom he had never met was an unscrupulous strategic wizard, and all the dynamics on the Soviet battlefield did not deviate from his expectations, as if the battle was what he commanded. The fighting in the Kharkiv region was a foregone conclusion, and the Soviet authorities did not send a telegram to Han Yunhua for the sake of Stalin's prestige, but Stalin and Zhukov realized that the next battle must listen to the opinion of the little Chinese comrade, especially the fighting in Kursk and the Caucasus, which the little Chinese comrade specifically mentioned in the telegram.
Han Yunhua spoke highly of Comrade Stalin's shameless questioning and not seeking much understanding, and at the same time, Han Yunhua, a young Chinese comrade, was not stingy with his own saliva, and after a night of deep talks with General Bayanruf, a campaign plan drawn up by Han Yunhua was freshly released. Although Han Yunhua could not name many Soviet troops and did not know their specific combat effectiveness, Han Yunhua replaced his requirements and the number of troops he needed, and with the assistance of Bayanruv on the side, this battle plan was very complete, and his strategic concept was extended to the capture of Berlin.
The telegram was soon sent to Moscow, and the telegram sent by Han Yunhua this time was sent to Feng Feng as top secret, except for a few generals and marshals who were qualified to know a little details, no other news was heard.
After discussing with several senior officers, the entire Soviet high-level was silent, although the military plan specified by this Chinese comrade was only a strategic idea except for the Kursk offensive and defensive battle and the Caucasus campaign, which was a complete battle plan, but the value of this telegram was immeasurable, and the Soviet high-level discussed in many directions, if the Kursk battle was really as conceived by the Chinese comrade, then this telegram was equivalent to pointing out the direction of the Soviet victory, In particular, it also involves the opening up of the second battlefield in Europe and how to open it up, so the complete and detailed strategic plan is surprising. And what surprised Stalin the most was that this 33-page battle plan was only made by a Chinese comrade in one night, a miracle, except for this word, Stalin and others could not think of what kind of language could be used to describe it.
Of course, Stalin's own advantage was how much he had taken advantage of it, so he sent a telegram back to Han Yunhua on the second day after receiving the telegram, and the most important thing in addition to thanking him was to ask Han Yunhua what else he needed. How could it be that Stalin was a predator-level politician, and how could it be unclear that Han Yunhua had entered the house with those little ninety-nine who had entered the house, but compared to the weapons and equipment they sent out, which in the eyes of Comrade Stalin were no different from broken copper and iron, what they got was something more precious.
Moreover, long before the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, this young comrade had reminded them to go all out to win over the United States, a country where isolationism was rampant at that time, and finally make the Lend-Lease Act of the United States applicable to the Soviet Union. So far, the Soviet Union has received a large amount of military aid from the United States, including 8,795 aircraft, 3,056 tanks, 31,503 gupp cars, 175883 trucks, 25,170 motorcycles, 4,071 tractors, 4,218 artillery pieces, 81,633 machine guns, 185735 tons of explosives, 1,670,000 tons of oil, and hundreds of large and small warships and torpedo boats. Therefore, while thanking the United States for its entry, Stalin also had to thank Han Yunhua, a Chinese comrade, from the bottom of his heart.
This is a win-win cooperation, with Han Yunhua's guidance, the Soviet Union can not only find a shortcut to victory, but also lose a lot of less and more advanced equipment, which is enough to make Stalin pay a small price. With this powerful ally, at least the threat of Japan's entry into the Far East has been reduced to a negligible degree, and even Stalin believes that with the strategic vision and command level of that Chinese comrade, as long as he gives an order, perhaps China and the Soviet Union can solve the Kwantung Army in the shortest possible time.
It was not the first time that Stalin had this idea of joining forces with Han Yunhua to attack the Kwantung Army, he was a little worried about the strength of Han Yunhua's department before, but now it has been proved that Han Yunhua's department is far more powerful than they imagined. Even without the Soviet Union, he would have been able to achieve a great victory in an all-out battle. In this return ...
