The second mist of the mist of the stocks, the boats on the river are faint, the wharf is like a flat busy, the sound of the whistle and the shouting of the porters are mixed together, the Japanese plane has not been to the city for more than a month recently, and the market is gradually prospering, with the arrival of the people in Xiajiang, the foreign way of life in Honghu has quietly risen in Chongqing.

Webb and Charles sat in the coffee shop on the street early in the morning, quietly drinking Brazilian coffee transported through the Yunnan-Burma Highway, coffee is now a luxury item, and the import restrictions have led to high prices, and Weber's income makes it difficult to drink coffee every day.

However, today is different, and his series of reports on Guizhou's development have caused a great sensation in the United States, and the editor-in-chief specially sent him a congratulatory telegram. Charles's report has also attracted the attention of the British government.

The citizens outside the window are endless, their faces are always full of relaxed freehand, there is no feeling of the pressure of the army, thinking about what he has seen and heard for more than half a year, his shock has not disappeared.

%, ten thousand

"I really can't understand that Charles seems to know Weber's thoughts, in the past six months, they have seen tens of thousands of construction sites in Guizhou, huge factories are gradually taking shape, winding roads are gradually spreading into the distance, and the construction sites are full of people, day and night.

"They're building and fighting. It's an amazing people, an amazing people, their tenacity, their endurance is beyond imagination. Webb didn't look back, still looking out the window at the street.

There were not many people in the coffee shop, except for them, a few Europeans in the distance were quietly enjoying the fragrance of coffee, when the door opened, and three more foreigners entered, Charles saw that two of them were known, one was Father Richardson, a priest of the Christian Methodist Church, and the other was Laslang, a senior employee of the French company Omtong.

Richardson soon saw Webb and Charles, and came over to say hello: "Mr. Charles, Mr. Webb, I really didn't expect to meet you here." I thought you were still in Guizhou

"Came back the day before yesterday. Hello Father, Charles and Webb both stood up and held out their hands to Father Richardson, who in turn introduced them to the two of them, "Remember Mr. Rathslang? ”

Of course, Charles smiled slightly and shook hands with Raslang: "This is Mr. Weber." Correspondent of the Washington Observer.

"I remember the last time I saw Lass at a reception at the French Embassy, he looked casual, and Weber reluctantly shook his hand with a blank face.

"The French ambassador?" Another person who came with him sneered contemptuously: "Petain's government has surrendered, he cannot represent France, and General de Gaulle's Free France is the legitimate representative of France."

As soon as this man spoke, Weber recognized him as Mr. Benoit of the Shanghai Sino-French Institute of Technology.

"Mr. Benoit, I didn't expect to see you here." Webber warmly hugged him, and Benoit responded enthusiastically.

"Mr. Weber, I didn't expect to see you Benoit sitting down here, and still have some feelings: "Back then, you said that the Chinese could persevere, and it turned out that your judgment was correct." It's a pity for my homeland, the blade"

News of the surrender of France. To Benoit's grief and indignation, he used to revere Marshal Petain very much. actually chose to surrender. Compared with the Chinese, they held on to four, although they suffered huge losses. Although they were covered in blood, they persevered.

"I don't agree with this, the results of the war proved that we were defeated, and continuing to hold on will only increase the casualties of the population, and it makes no sense Laslang's words, which represent the opinion of the majority of the French, who do not see any shame in surrendering, and that after the arrival of the German army, Paris is still in full bloom.

"France was not defeated, France lost only one battle". Benoit retorted: "It was the cowards of Pétain who were defeated. The Free France, led by General de Gaulle, was still fighting

"Benoit, Benoit, I'm not going to argue about it anymore." Laslang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You have been in Chongqing for two days, and we have been arguing for two days. None of us can convince anyone. Let's keep our opinions to themselves

"Rasslang is right, with such good weather, there is no need to talk about these heated questions." Father Richardson hurriedly rounded the scene: "Recently, there have been fewer Japanese planes, and the market has been a lot quieter

As he spoke, the loudspeakers on the street suddenly emitted a screeching electric sound, and then a majestic voice began to say loudly: "Attention, attention, attention, important news is broadcast below." Here are the important news

It may be another victory, Charles smiled, but he felt a little strange, he hadn't heard of a big battle recently.

"At 5:30 a.m. today, the Japanese army launched a surprise attack on Soviet Russia, and the Japanese army crossed the Sino-Soviet-Sino-Mongolian border on all fronts and launched an attack on Soviet Russia and Mongolia

Everyone froze, Webb and Charles' eyes widened as if they didn't believe their ears, and the priest drew a cross on his chest. Whispering a prayer, Benoit rubbed his cheeks fiercely. Rasrang was the calmest, as if nothing had happened. Continue with the fragrant coffee

"They're crazy". Webb and Charles shouted almost at the same time, and they stood up almost at the same time and were about to go out, when a group of Chinese rushed in from the street, who happily occupied several empty tables and shouted for the waiters. It was as if the squadron had won a big victory, and the citizens on the street were cheering unscrupulously.

"Fierce.". Richardson suddenly understood why the Chinese were like this, and he quickly put a few crosses on his chest: "Canbai.!" Heart.! ”

In the early morning of 12 September, along the border line of thousands of kilometers from the Tumen River to the Luoyuan steppe, one million Japanese troops were covered by 800 planes and 600 tanks. Launch a surprise attack on the Russian Far Eastern forces.

The judgment of the Supreme Command of Soviet Russia again made a serious mistake in the judgment of the Japanese attack, after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war. The Far Eastern troops were extremely nervous, and even after receiving information from Hidemi Ozaki, the troops were still in a state of first-class combat readiness in July and August, but as the weather gradually became colder, Stalin's vigilance was relaxed, and because of the defeat of Kiev, the loss of troops was as high as one million, and the troops were urgently needed to fill the gap, the Far Eastern troops naturally became the focus of the transfer.

Beginning in mid-August, the number of troops in the Far East dropped sharply from 1.2 million to 500,000 instead of 700,000, and the Trans-Siberian Railway, which connects the east and west, saw a troop train pass every half hour.

The whole east was in a tense and relaxed mood, and the Russians stubbornly believed that the cold weather was their greatest ally, and that the mighty Napoleonic army had disappeared into the ice and snow of Russia.

In September, the first snow of early autumn had already fallen in parts of the Trans-Khingan Mountains, according to the Soviet High Command and the Far Eastern Military District. The Japanese have already lost their chances, and the war will not break out at least this year.

But at this moment, the Japanese attack began.

Short Japanese soldiers, dressed in khaki uniforms and with short thick legs, rushed through the dense forests and steppes in the east and the wilderness of the wilderness in the west, and rushed into the interior of Soviet Russia.

The village burned behind them, and the sound of artillery came from the front; The soldiers were extremely excited, for a long time, the propaganda of the empire was that Soviet Russia was the sworn enemy of the empire, and sooner or later there would be a decisive battle between Japan and the Soviet Union. Now the decisive battle has finally arrived.

Unlike the Western Front, the Soviet troops, albeit somewhat lax, were slack. But the troops were not defenseless, most of them had already been deployed, and there were well-built fortresses on the border, and the fortresses were equipped with all kinds of weapons.

In the battle plan of the Kwantung Army. The capture of Vladivostok and the destruction of the Russian Far Eastern Fleet were its focus. Therefore, the main direction of the Japanese attack was Ussuriysk, and the 20 years of Guan Guizhi, who was responsible for the offensive in this direction, had seven divisions under its jurisdiction, and the division and regiment establishment of the Kwantung Army was different from that of the Kannai troops, and it still retained two brigades and four wings. Together with the cavalry wing and the artillery wing, the strength amounted to more than 30,000 people. The total number of troops in the past 20 years reached 240,000, plus 60,000 troops from the Korean garrison, and the number of troops attacking Vladivotok reached 300,000.

The military doctrine of the Soviets was to keep the war on enemy territory, so they built fortresses along the national border, and a series of small fortresses were built on the outskirts of Vlabenvostok. to defend the Far Eastern Fleet in the Vladivitstok military port.

According to military theory and fortifications, the main forces of the Soviet army were deployed along the border, so when the Japanese army successfully entered the territory of Soviet Russia for about 10 kilometers, it was stubbornly blocked by the Soviet army.

However, on the northern front, the commander of the Third Army of the Kwantung Army, Isamu Yokoyama, and the commander of the Fifth Army, Fan Demu, made very smooth progress, and on the first day they advanced 50 miles deep into Soviet Russia, and the advance approached Skotirodiro, cutting off the Trans-Siberian Railway, the main transportation artery of Soviet Russia.

At sea, the Japanese achieved even greater success, and the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto, commanded the Combined Fleet and blockaded the port of Vladivostok and blocked the Soviet and Russian fleets in the port. Then the naval aviation was concentrated to attack the port at the cost of sixty aircraft. Completely destroy the Russian Far Eastern Fleet.

It was on the third day of the outbreak of the Soviet-Japanese war. Zhang Fasheng commanded the troops of the Fourth Theater to launch a massive counteroffensive against the Japanese army in Guangdong, and the Nationalist Government announced that 30 divisions would be invested in this counteroffensive, and Chairman Chiang personally commanded the front, which was the largest counteroffensive operation after the Battle of Guinan.

But in the minds of the high-ranking generals, this counteroffensive was just a walk-in process, and the main force of the Japanese 21st Army was on board the day before the outbreak of the Soviet-Japanese war. At this strange war, the attack of the squadron was not fierce, and the Japanese army was not tenacious. Both sides know how to be "polite" The Japanese army abandoned Guangzhou after resisting for five days, including the puppet army, the whole army boarded the ship, and the squadron regained Guangzhou. This was the first provincial city recovered by the squadron.
