Chapter 112: General Gallen
"I didn't see Galen for thirty years, and the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition were supported. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I came to Polydo to be nostalgic and want to go to the Red River to recognize the claw marks. This is a poem written by Marshal Ye Jianying when he revisited the Far East during his visit to the Soviet Union in 1957.
The "gallon" mentioned in the poem is the name of a person, who is he? In China's first domestic revolutionary war, General Galen's name is engraved in the annals of history: in 1924, Sun Yat-sen reorganized *** and implemented the policy of uniting Russia and the Communist Party, he was the chief military adviser of the Soviet Union to China at that time, and made great contributions to helping the Eastern Expedition to the Northern Expedition.
General Gallen served as chief military adviser throughout the Three Years' Revolution and headed the Soviet advisory group in Canton. At that time, the Soviet government was worried about conflicts with the West and Japan over aid to China, and only claimed that the advisers were recruited in their personal capacity as "retired unemployed" and did not want people to know that there were high-ranking commanders among them. He used the homonym of his wife's surname as a pseudonym - "Galen", and after that, he became famous in China, and Chinese people used to call him "General Gallen" (although the Soviet Union had abolished the rank of general at that time): he was Marshal Vasily Konstantinovich Blyukher, known as the "soul of the Far Eastern Army"!
In Lin Jun's heart, the first among the early senior generals of the Soviet Union should be Marshal Tukhachevsky, who is known as the "Red Napoleon", but the general he respects the most is the Marshal Blyukhel who will meet.
Speaking of which, these two marshals have a tragic intersection in history: after Marshal Khachevsky and others were arrested on charges of "fascist espionage", Bryuhel was ordered to supervise the trial. This "president," who is known for his integrity, did not even ask a word in court, and his silence itself showed his political attitude. When he returned to the Far East, he was "watched" by the security services, and in late October 1938 he was secretly arrested and soon executed.
、、、、、、
Lin Jun in the cabin was thinking about how to make a campaign deployment when he met with Blyukher, commanding the air force to fight is a good hand for himself, and it is not his turn to point fingers on things on the ground, so he should learn.
I don't know much about this marshal Lin Jun, this little refers to the knowledge of his real person, not the general Gallen in the information and documents, Lin Jun has only met him once, in 1934, when he still saw Blyukhel at the military parade on the October Revolution Festival. On that occasion, he looked at Blyukherr from a distance from the viewing platform on the side of the rostrum, and had no chance to talk at all, and when he was qualified to stand behind Stalin to participate in the military parade, the marshal did not go to Moscow once, and was always in the Far East.
Blyukhel's exploits Lin Jun is very clear, and he also knows that this upright marshal has outstanding military talent and command ability, but he is relatively "immature" in politics and is not good at complex political struggles. From Lin Jun's point of view, the Soviet Union did not have many troops in the Far East at present, but a small number of troops under the command of Blyukhel firmly deterred the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Korean Army.
Now that Yenov has fallen, and the steering wheel of the "rebellion" is basically in his own hands, this marshal should not be purged as before. Remember that his original charge was "Japanese spy", and the touching point was the case of Marshal Khachevsky. Now that Marshal Khachevsky's case has been handled by himself, as long as he tries to minimize his own casualties this time, and then beats the little Japan on the other side so that his grandmother does not know it, then this marshal comrade will definitely be able to deter the Japanese army in the Far East until the outbreak of World War II. If this is the case, the Soviet Union will be able to unleash its hands on the Western Front -- Blyukher's title of "the soul of the Far Eastern Army" is not a decoration.
In 1937, the capital of the Far Eastern Territory was Khabarovsk, and the population of the city plus the soldiers of the troops directly under the command of the Special Army of the Red Banner of the Far East was less than 200,000, but it was such a small city, because of its special geographical and political reasons, it is now the first important town of the Soviet Union in the Far East.
The establishment of the Soviet Union's administrative regions in the Far East has undergone many changes in history, and the names have also been changed again and again: just like the current administrative division, according to Lin Jun, there will be a big change in a year - the Soviet Union is so big that it takes a senior Soviet officer to remember the various union republics; If you want to figure out the situation in each state or district, it doesn't take you a few days to figure it out.
There is no longer any need to ponder the question of the administrative establishment of the Far East, because Marshal Blyukhel has already appeared in front of Lin Jun: the distance between Komsomolsk and Khabarovsk is less than 300 kilometers in a straight line, and the plane will arrive in an hour. Before landing, Lin Jun also found that a large number of bombers were assembled at the airport.
In front of Lin Jun was a middle-aged soldier under fifty years old, dressed in the uniform of a Soviet marshal, and there were several senior and superior officers beside him. After the routine introduction, Lin Jun learned that the corporate-level commander next to Marshal Blyukhel was the chief of staff of the Special Army of the Red Banner in the Far East, and the other heavyweight in the crowd was only a colonel, the commander of the 40th Infantry Division, Bazarov. As a result of Lin Jun's arrival, the commander of the aviation of the Special Army of the Red Banner in the Far East, the commander of the division, Antonov, who was massing troops in Ussuriysk, also appeared in the crowd.
Without too much politeness, after a simple introduction to each other, a group of people immediately rushed to the headquarters.
"Marshal Blyukher, by order of Moscow I am only here to study and will not interfere in any of your military decisions, but I would like to see myself in the combat operations of the Aviation, I ask for your approval."
At the beginning of the meeting, Lin Jun made his attitude clear, lest Comrade Marshal have any concerns.
"Comrade Andrey, since you have already expressed your position, then I also want to say my request: you can participate in the combat operations of the aviation forces, but you can only participate in the drawing up of the combat plan as an adviser to Comrade Antonov, but you are never allowed to fly an aircraft to participate in front-line battles."
Blyukhel understood very well: he was very aware of the war situation in China, and this Andrei came to him only as a buffer opportunity for Stalin to give his "crown prince", not a prison army who came to him to point fingers. But he must ensure his safety and give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and the best way is to let him command the air force in combat -- Comrade Andrei's ability to command the air force is known to the whole Red Army.
But this Andrei has one disadvantage, that is, when he is excited, he loves to fly the plane himself, although he knows that he is a well-known ace pilot in the Red Army, but anything can happen on the battlefield: under the premise of safety first, this Andrei can only stay in the command headquarters - in case of some accidents, Stalin in Moscow is not expected to be polite to himself because of his hard work.
"Advisers are advisers, it's better than staying in the command in Khabarovsk." Lin Jun could only think so.
Now that the identities of the two sides have been completed, the military conference has also entered the operational part.
"Stern, it's up to you to explain the current situation."
"Yes, Comrade Commander." The chief of staff is a cadre general, and in history, it was he who actually commanded the troops to conduct the Zhang Gufeng operation.
"Judging from the current situation, the main force of the Japanese army will be their 19th Division of the Korean Army, which is reliable information obtained by the comrades of the secret front. According to reconnaissance aircraft reports, the main forces of the division are massing in the direction of Lake Hassan, and the strength of the division may exceed 10,000 people. The present situation of our army is that the main forces of the 40th Infantry Division are massing towards the western part of the Gulf of Posette; The 32nd Infantry Division and the 2nd Mechanized Brigade were massed in the Lake Hassan area; The 39th Infantry Division served as a campaign reserve. The Pacific Fleet has been brought to combat readiness and is delivering troops and supplies to the shores of the Gulf of Posiete. Our front-line aviation units are currently assembled at the airfields of Ussuriysk and Vladivostok, and long-range aviation units have also been assembled at the Khabarovsk airfield, ready to support the front line and strike at the depth of the Japanese campaign. ”
Stern said, pointing to the geographical coordinates on a huge military map.
"Judging from the current fighting situation, the Japanese army is very stubborn, and the 59th National Border Garrison of our army has repeatedly fought with it on the heights of Заозёрная and the border Безименная more than 20 times, and each time the Japanese army fought to the last man before our troops could fully occupy the position. The 59th Frontier Garrison has suffered more than one-third of its casualties, and judging by the number of Japanese soldiers killed, the Japanese troops involved in the battle so far are only their border guards. However, the main force of the 19th Division of the Japanese Army is close to the border line, and I estimate that by this afternoon at the latest, the Japanese troops in this division will be engaged in front-line operations. ”
"In whose hands is the current position? How many troops can we put into front-line combat at noon today? Lin Jun asked.
"Last night, after a night attack, the Japanese army occupied the Безименная heights (Shacao Peak), and the Заозёрная Heights (Zhanggu Peak) are still in our hands. It was expected that by 12 o'clock at noon, the main forces of the 40th Infantry Division would be able to enter the battle, and the details could be introduced by the division commander Bazarov. ”
"Now my troops are under the command of my chief of staff, and by noon there will be two infantry regiments, divisional artillery units and divisional tank battalions, all of which have been assembled in the woods five kilometers from the two heights."
Lin Jun knew that on the Soviet side of Zhanggufeng was the Poshet Plain, where the woods were very suitable for troop build-up and concealment, but this also illustrated a problem -- the two highlands were of great tactical importance to the region: whoever controlled the place had the tactical initiative.
"The main force of the Japanese army has arrived at the stated position?"
"On the line of Mosan and Gumosan in North Korea, according to the report of the reconnaissance plane, a large number of Japanese troops and materials have been assembled at the railway stations of the two Japanese troops."
Stelln's words made Lin Jun "startled": Amazing, now dare to let the reconnaissance plane go deep into the enemy's airspace for a hundred kilometers!
Looking at the coordinates on the map and the configuration of troops, Lin Jun had a relatively bold battle plan in his mind.
