Nanhua, Xinjing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since the start of the war last month, almost every day the newspaper has published an "extra" issue, and the radio will promptly report the news of how many Japanese troops the An Jiajun has eliminated and how much land it has recovered in a certain place, and the people are as happy every day as if they were celebrating the New Year. In the evening of this evening, the news of the great victory of the two rivers and the elimination of more than 700,000 Japanese puppet troops in the broadcast of the Syrian Mansion and the Xinjing Radio Station on the hour made the entire South China and even the Chinese areas of the world boil, and the fireworks and firecrackers were sold out in an instant, and there was a "crackling" sound everywhere after nightfall, and people who did not know thought that they had fallen into a terrible war.

However, An Yi did not celebrate with thousands of soldiers and civilians, because at this time, he was holding a banquet to entertain Liushenkov at the Lion Lou Sichuan Restaurant on the shore of Yuqing Lake in the west of the new capital.

Lyuschenkov was dressed as a marshal, and in order to divide and win over the top level of the Far Eastern Republic, Stalin awarded the rank of six marshals, Lyuschenkov, Vasily, Hulin, Fediko, Leonid, and Smirnov, and the rest of the generals at all levels were promoted, and more than 2 million Far Eastern troops would be organized into the Far East Red Banner Combat Cluster, which would soon be transferred west to join the Soviet-German battlefield.

The local units of the Soviet Red Army were to be officially stationed in the Urals and Western Siberia in late October, and the industrial bases that had been evacuated to the Volga region had to be relocated to the Urals and Siberia because the Caucasus and Dnieper defense lines were no longer safe.

Due to the participation of the Far Eastern Army, although the top level of the Soviet Union was more confident in holding Moscow, it still made the worst preparations, so the Soviet ambassador to South China specially visited An Yi to seek assistance from all sides, and An Yi gave the attitude that there is no free lunch in the world, and normal trade can be carried out under the condition of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity.

This time, Lyushenkov went to Xinjing, first, to visit his family and tell him what was going on after his death, second, to see the living conditions of the soldiers and civilians in the Far East in South China and ask for peace of mind, and third, to say his final goodbye to An Yi.

At 11 o'clock yesterday at midnight, Lyuschenkov arrived in Xinjing on a special plane sent by General Zhao Rui, commander of the Central Asian Military Region. This morning, Lyushenkov visited the families of the senior generals, and in the afternoon stayed at home to accompany his wife and daughter.

In order to avoid a sad and sad situation at the wine table, Lyuschenkov came alone to see An Yi this time.

After listening to An Yi's introduction to the recent Sino-Japanese war, Lyuschenkov saluted An Yi from afar, then raised his head and drank it all, put down his wine glass, and said in slightly rusty Chinese:

"Xiao Yi, this glass of wine is for the great achievements you have achieved! Unlike the successive victories of your army, the situation on the Soviet-German battlefield was not optimisticAfter the victory in the Battle of Kiev, Hitler issued Instruction No. 35, codenamed Operation 'Typhoon', to the effect that troops were drawn from the north and south flanks, converged with the central cluster, and launched the Battle of Moscow as soon as possible, occupying Moscow, the political, economic and cultural center of the Soviet Union, by the end of the year, and completely attacking the Soviet Union's will to resist. Hitler's madman wanted a military parade in Moscow on Christmas, and all the movements of the German army revolved around this.

"The first to make changes was the German Army Group North. On 16 September, following the failure of the first assault on Leningrad, Loeb, commander of the German Army Group North, continued to look for weak points in the defense of Leningrad, commanded the Germans to break through the defense from the junction of the 42nd Army and the 55th Army under Zhukov's command, captured the city of Puxi, 18 kilometers south of Leningrad, detoured to the left to the Pulkovo Heights directly south of Leningrad, and detoured to the right to the southeast at Kolpino.

However, under the stubborn resistance of Zhukov's troops, the pace of the German offensive was as slow as a snail's crawl, and its advance slowed from five kilometers a day in July to less than two kilometers a month in September. Finally, seeing that the date for the transfer of troops to Moscow was approaching, Marshal Loeb decided to make a last-ditch effort at all costs.

"On September 19, the German offensive on Leningrad reached its climax. The German infantry, under the cover of tanks, launched a fierce attack on the Pulkovo Heights and other places, the artillery bombarded Leningrad for 17 consecutive hours, and the air force launched nearly 300 sorties to bomb the city in six waves. However, the Leningrad military and civilians eventually withstood the frantic German offensive.

"In late September, the elite units of the German Army Group North were gradually transferred out of the battlefield on the Northern Front, and the 4th Panzer Corps of Heppner and the 57th Panzer Corps of the 3rd Panzer Corps of Hoult of the former Army Group Center were transferred to the direction of Moscow, and soon the 18th Air Force was also transferred to the 2nd Air Force to participate in the operation against Moscow.

"At the same time as the northern route was moving, the German army, which won the battle of Kiev on the southern front, also divided its troops into two routes, all the way to continue eastward, entering the lower reaches of the Dnieper River and the Don River plain, and striving to take the Donbass and the Crimean Peninsula in one fell swoop, so that the supply of many war materials could be sent to the front line through the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, and the other road was violently along the cities of Konotop, Kursk, and Orel, and went straight to Moscow.

"Fearing that the German army would repeat its old tricks, Yegorov, who would repeat the scene of the siege of Kiev and command his troops to fight and win successive victories in the middle battlefield, after consulting Stalin and obtaining his consent, led his troops to retreat in the direction of Moscow and defend in an area of more than 300 kilometers northwest of Ostashkov and Yelnya."

An Yi nodded frequently when he listened.

In fact, he knew all these things, and through the intelligence stations of several major intelligence systems in South China in Germany, he knew even more than Lyuschenkov knew the inside story.

For example, Pavlov, the former commander of the Western Front, was dismissed and shot by Stalin because of the defeat in the Battle of Minsk, Stalin's son Yasha was captured by the Germans in the Battle of Kiev, and there was a fierce debate among the German military leaders about the focus of the attack, and so on, many of which are top secrets.

At present, the German army and the Soviet Red Army have been engaged in a large-scale battle of three or four million people in the area around Moscow, and the Far Eastern Army will definitely be transferred to the Moscow battlefield, presumably Lyuschenkov's visit is related to this.

Sure enough, after Lyuschenkov introduced the situation, he said:

"The situation in Moscow is already very dangerous, due to the serious shortage of troops, many fronts have formed a situation in which the German army is outnumbered, Stalin and Egorov have called me, asking me to lead my troops westward as soon as possible, due to the problem of migration and migration, I have been dragging it out, and the day before yesterday finally the last immigrant also entered the territory of South China, my mood is much more relaxed!

"During the two-month migration, more than 9.7 million people chose to leave, and the rest were families who were confident that they could withstand the political scrutiny of the internal affairs department. The troops decided to move west to join the Moscow battlefield on the 20th of this month, and our more than 2 million troops are expected to be thrown into the battle against the German army as the last strategic counterattack force! ”

Speaking of this, Lyuschenkov sighed: "For more than three years, we have fought to the death with Moscow, and even Blyukher, Bukharin and Rykov died under the assassination of agents sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Based on the grievances and grievances between our group of people and Stalin, and my continuous disobedience in the past two months, it is estimated that there will be more than one bad luck when we go west this time. But this time in Xinjing, I saw that my wife, daughter, and many Russian families are well taken care of by you, and I am also relieved! ”

An Yi's eyes were red: "Teacher, can't you not go back?" If you resolutely give up your position as the leader of the party, government, and military of a country, you have already done your best to the fullest extent of your righteousness, and there is no need to wade into troubled waters again! As long as you are willing to stay, how about I appoint you as the president of the National Defense University and at the same time as the deputy chief of the general staff? ”

"Good boy, I knew you would say that!"

Lyuschenkov smiled slightly: "What you don't understand, the Soviet Socialist Union is the painstaking work of our generation, a lifelong pursuit of cause and ideals, if I only exist as a bystander when it is in danger, I am afraid that I will not forgive myself in the future!" And, faith and doctrine aside, I am still a Slav, and now that Nazi Germany is committing genocide in the Soviet occupation zone, I have to do something for my people! ”

"But don't worry too much, Stalin didn't dare to rashly do anything to us people, no matter how we have more than two million troops as the backing, for a long time, Stalin can only adopt a strategy of wooing us, otherwise if it is defeated due to internal strife, the biggest loss is still him, the supreme leader!"

An Yi saw that it was useless to persuade again, so he gave up his mind and asked, "Teacher, what do you think of the next battle of Moscow?" ”

"Hitler was so arrogant that instead of consolidating the existing territory and using the land policy to curry favor with the people in the occupied areas, Hitler was so arrogant that he did not consolidate his existing territory, and used the land policy to curry favor with the people in the occupied areas, but wantonly built concentration camps, wantonly slaughtered Jews and Slavs, and rashly marched eastward in the face of instability in the rear.

"I am sure that the extremely cold winter weather in the vicinity of Moscow will be our natural ally, and that the Soviet High Command will deal a devastating blow to the Germans as long as it makes reasonable use of the new force of more than two million Far Eastern Army," said Lyuschenkov with great confidence! ”

An Yi had watched the movie "The Battle of Moscow" when he was a child, and knew that this was a decisive battle in which the German army turned from prosperity to decline, and the current situation seemed to be not much different from the original history, so he immediately nodded: "If the Soviet Union can win the Battle of Moscow, then the United States and Britain, which are losing in the Pacific and Africa, will put their heavy bets on Stalin, and the good days of the Germans may come to an end!" ”

"Xiao Yi, I want you to promise me one thing" Lyuschenkov stopped talking.

An Yi was a little surprised, but he didn't rush to express his position, and asked: "Teacher, please make it clear if you have any requirements, as long as it does not harm the interests of my country and nation, I will agree to you as much as possible." Of course, if it goes against my ideals and beliefs, I can only say I'm sorry! ”

Lyuschenkov didn't expect An Yi to answer so simply, he was silent for a while, waved his hand and said:

"That's it, that's it, we're all persistent people in our hearts, and I'm not bored with myself, I only hope that in the future, South China led by you can coexist peacefully with the Soviet Union, and there is something to negotiate. Now the Soviets have reached the most difficult time, and they can no longer withstand the toss! ”

An Yi smiled faintly and did not take over the conversation. He knew what Lyuschenkov wanted to say, it was nothing more than hoping that South China would be more tolerant of territorial and sovereignty disputes between the two countries in Siberia and the Far East, and this issue was indeed very acute, because most of the territory that South China now owned was hitched on the far eastern republics, and even many people in the former Far Eastern republics attacked it, not to mention the Soviet Union, once Stalin won the victory in the European theater, it was very likely that there would be chaos again.

This is also an important reason why An Yi has always respected Lyuschenkov and is willing to accept the migration of people, in a sense, without the emergence of the Far Eastern Republic, there would be no vast territory in South China.

However, respect does not mean that there is no bottom line, at least there is no negotiation in the territory, and other aspects can be considered. If the Soviets honestly follow the rules, An Yi doesn't mind doing some reciprocal transactions with the other party, for example, the Soviet Union inherited a large amount of gold from Imperial Russia, and emptied Spain's vaults during the Spanish Civil War, plus the mining income over the years, it is definitely not a small amount, anyway, Nanhua seized a large number of Japanese and British weapons, and he doesn't mind exchanging some real money and silver back. In addition, there are a large number of Chinese cultural relics in the museums of the Soviet Union, and now that the Allies and the Axis powers have opened their mouths, a large number of cultural relics have returned, and it would be great if Chinese cultural relics inherited from the Soviet Union from Imperial Russia could be added!

Of course, if the other party wants to bully the weak, then he can't complain about teaching a lesson, saying that he can't let Stalin cut some more flesh and let him recognize the reality clearly

Kuala Lumpur is a city developed by Chinese miners, located at the confluence of the Gomak River and the Klang River in the south-central part of the Malay Peninsula, and is the second largest city in Malaya after Sin Chau.

At a time when the war in the East Indies, Burma and Malay was becoming increasingly unfavorable, Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, commander of the Malay Front of the Japanese Army, was planning to launch a large-scale counterattack to salvage the current unfavorable situation.

At 3 p.m. on 17 October, the forward of the Second Army of the An Jia Army moved into the town of Batu Yalan, 30 kilometers northwest of Kuala Lumpur, and by 6 p.m., the officers and men of a division had settled in the town and its surrounding area of more than 10 square kilometers. On the line of the Selangor Yi River, north of Batu Yalan Town, there are still two other divisions belonging to the group army.

Since taking over the 10th Army's offensive against towns in eastern Malaya earlier this month, the 2nd Army has been defeated in towns such as Ipoh, Kampar, Melo, Teluk Intan, Songkei, Tanjung Malim and Kuala Selange. However, after successive battles, the Second Army was also quite tired, according to the plan, after the Second Army stabilized the first line of Batu Yalan Town, it was again replaced by the Tenth Army to attack, and the next target of attack was Kuala Lumpur City.

The Japanese army was not willing to defend passively, and prepared to use the mountainous and hilly terrain here in the northwest area of Kuala Lumpur to give the An Jia army a dismount.

At nightfall, the 21st Division of the Japanese Army, the 2nd Independent Infantry Brigade and the 22nd Field Heavy Artillery Wing, plus the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions of the Malay Army, nearly 100,000 troops, entered the preset positions around the town of Batu Yaran.

At nine o'clock in the evening, as the time for the attack drew nearer and closer, tens of thousands of devils and Malay soldiers who were ambushed in various starting positions struggled to suppress the rapid breathing caused by the rapid heartbeat.

Tens of thousands of bayonets, under the full moon, exuded a murderous aura, inspiring the pride of the Japanese army up and down, and the occasional collision between the bayonets and the bayonets would immediately be slightly but extremely severe reprimands by Cao Chang, Jun Cao and other grassroots officers!

Second Lieutenant Mitsui Shouichi was prostrate on his position, silently observing the town five kilometers away in the bright moonlight, constantly taking deep breaths - he was not nervous, but a visceral excitement. Mitsui Shouichi had just graduated from the Army Non-commissioned Officer School this year, and seeing the Japanese army's successive victories in the Pacific and Indian Ocean theaters inspired him to "move forward" with the courage and determination to "move forward". He was furious at the crushing defeat of his brother's troops over the past few months, and today he is here to prove that the Japanese army is still invincible, and at the same time use the blood of the enemy to earn a military medal and add glory to the family emblem.

"Huh!? What is that? ”

Mitsui Shouichi heard a dull sound in the air in the distance, and his heart moved, and he immediately tried to open his eyes wide, but he couldn't see anything. At this time, the dark night sky was suddenly lit up, and there were ballistic traces of dazzling heavy artillery shells across the sky in the sky, and the brilliant bullet marks weaved a beautiful picture in the air.

"Enemy attack!"

The 22nd Wing of the Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, which was arranged in the rear, began to return fire, and with the rumbling sound of the cannons, meteors flew back and forth in the sky, which was beautiful and moving!

Second Lieutenant Toshiichi Mitsui was pulled into the trench by an experienced soldier next to him, and he was told to curl up to avoid a possible shrapnel attack. Mitsui Shouichi looked up at the sky, and although he could hear the roar of the motor, he still found nothing, only to see the shells that made a loud screeching sound in the artillery positions behind the position, and the huge explosions came one after another, and the sky-high fire illuminated the earth transparently.

Mitsui Shouichi and his commanders did not know that when they were still deploying troops, the S4 reconnaissance plane in the sky fed back its movement to the headquarters of the Central and Southern Front of the Anjia Army, and Gu Changfeng made a special operational deployment for this purpose, and after nightfall, a motorized infantry division and a tank division deployed on the front line of the Selangor Yi River had quietly moved to the vicinity of Batu Yalan Town, and at the same time, the Army Aviation Brigade directly under the Front Army was also transferred to the front line.

When all the artillery units directly under the Second Army were in place, they immediately inflicted a fierce blow on the Japanese army.

The 50 blackened helicopter gunships were divided into several parts, almost following the trajectory of the Japanese heavy artillery returning fire, all the way to the Japanese artillery position, and the large number of rockets instantly turned the heavy artillery positions of one devil after another into a sea of fire.

Gradually, there were no bullet marks on the battlefield that intersected with each other, and only the artillery of the An Jiajun kept venting shells to the Japanese positions. The continuous shelling, spreading forward from the artillery positions in the rear of the Japanese army, cultivated the Japanese positions over and over again, and the fierceness of the firepower and the long duration were unique in the life of Mitsui Shouichi.

"Baga! The counterattack was discovered in advance by the Shina people, and the situation is not good! ”

Mitsui Shouyi heard the low curse from Sergeant Juncao in his ears, and he was no longer excited before, but instead apprehensive and uneasy. This military cao is a veteran with extremely rich combat experience, and in this squadron around Mitsui Shou, he is a minority of backbones, and now seeing his face full of fear, Mitsui Shouichi is also under great pressure!

"Boom-"

Several heavy shells exploded around the perimeter of the position, and the dust quickly covered the trenches, and Mitsui Shouichi quickly made a fuss.

You must know that veterans are afraid of machine guns, but recruits are most afraid of artillery, and many passionate recruits are often frightened by this fierce artillery fire, and some are even frightened into incontinence, and their morale is completely lost. Although Mitsui Shouichi didn't pee his pants, he also noticed that his legs had begun to tremble uncontrollably.

This descendant of the Mitsui family, who is dedicated to making meritorious contributions, secretly scolds himself for being useless, and desperately restrains his fears. When fear reaches a certain point, it turns into anger, and all the blood on his body seems to rush into his brain, cursing his enemies viciously, but fantasizing about how to ravage them next.

"Kill, give!"

The sound of charging came from the position, and the captain of the captain raised his command knife and rushed out of the trench first. It was not a tradition of the Japanese army to be bombed continuously and passively, and the commander of this operation, Lieutenant General Tanaka Kuichi, commander of the 21st Division, resolutely gave the order to attack.

The overwhelming shouts of killing sounded, and Mitsui Shouichi and the soldiers of his squadron rushed out of the position with a howl with the large army, and the bayonets as cold as autumn water reflected the hideous and terrifying faces of the Japanese army because of their fanaticism. However, one by one the shells exploded around the attacking Japanese soldiers, and the sharp shrapnel didn't matter whether you were born noble or not, you drilled when you saw the flesh, and cut the bones when you touched them, and the Japanese soldiers fell down one by one.

The devils and their land Malay soldiers, strictly according to the discipline, do not care about the life or death of their companions, blindly bow their heads and rush forward, Mitsui Shouichi clearly remembers that when he was in the non-commissioned officer school, his tactical instructor told him that any enemy in the face of the heroic and fearless charge of the warriors of the Yamato nation, the will to resist will collapse in an instant, Mitsui Shouichi was convinced of this, so he roared loudly and kept sprinting forward.

At this moment, there was a violent tremor on the ground, and a loud roar sounded in the sky.

Shouichi Mitsui looked up in confusion, wanting to see what was going on? However, as soon as he raised his head, he was instantly stunned - oh my God, the enemy not only did not collapse under the heroic and fearless charge of the emperor and their brave minions, but fought back-for-tat!

The enemy is not attacking flesh and blood, but a torrent of steel made up of tanks, armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery! What about hundreds of Leopard II tanks with their guns held high, covered by more armored vehicles and self-propelled guns? The magnitude of the psychological impact on the parties involved can be fully reflected in the Japanese army.

There was no doubt about it, the artillery shells, the side-by-side machine guns, the high-level dual-purpose machine guns, and the general-purpose machine guns, like combine harvesters, cut the devils and Malay soldiers to the ground. And in the rear of the local mechanized troops, the shells of heavy artillery, rocket artillery, and mortars continued to fall like hailstones, taking away a large number of lives.

Almost short-handed, Mitsui Shouichi suddenly found that between the tank and the armored car, there were also a large number of infantry of the Anjia Army, his heart was tense, holding the 38 rifle and shouting, he wanted to rush towards one of the Anjia Army soldiers, but he suddenly felt a cold chest, and when he lowered his head, he found that the entire chest had been pierced by a large-caliber bullet from unknown whereabouts, and the intestines and stomach were gushing out of the open chest, and suddenly there was darkness in front of him, and he couldn't feel anything.

The tenacity of the Japanese army did not last long, and finally collapsed on all fronts in the early hours of the morning.

Under the light of the full moon, the tanks and armored vehicles of the 4th, 6th and 5th Motorized Infantry Divisions, like the cavalry of the Mongols in history, did not give their opponents a chance to breathe at all, and after the collapse of one front, it was difficult to expect to organize a new line of defense again.

The attack distance of the mechanized troops depends entirely on the physical strength of the combatants and the amount of fuel and ammunition, and now everything is in good condition with the help of helicopters in the air, once the Japanese army collapses, there is no room for salvation, and the huge mechanized troops are like an unstoppable torrent, pouring in from the gap in the embankment, quickly consolidating the position and expanding the results of the battle.

By dawn the next day, more than 100,000 Japanese troops who had been divided and encircled, and the resistance of the formation had been basically cleared, and all that remained was to encircle and suppress those small forces, but in the face of the integration of air and ground and mechanized operations of the Anjia Army, everything was settled.

At noon, while the Second Army was still cleaning up the battlefield, the Tenth Army had already bypassed Batu Aran and marched to Kuala Lumpur, taking over the second largest city in Malaya without blood.
