The special envoy sent by the Soviet Union to Xi'an was Comrade Mikoyan, a member of the Politburo of the CPSU. ，

Because our army has established a consolidated base area in Shaanxi and has the First and Second Aviation Brigades of the Eighth Route Army, the contact between our party and the Soviet Union has become much easier. The Soviet Union has already stationed a liaison group in Xi'an, headed by a TASS correspondent in Xi'an, Vladimirov.

After Mikoyan arrived in Xi'an, he was received with the highest standard.

**The leaders of the central government in Xi'an were greeted at the airport.

After returning to Lintong from the airport, the central government held a welcome dinner. The chairman personally delivered a speech, expressing the sincere friendship of the Chinese people to the Soviet people and expressing the most sincere gratitude to the Soviet Union for selflessly assisting China in the War of Resistance!

Now is the arduous period of the Anti-Japanese War, and the so-called welcome dinner is nothing more than a leader's speech and a simple meal made in the canteen.

Mikoyan gave a briefing on the situation on the battlefield on the Western Front of the Soviet Union, focusing on the situation of the Soviet Union organizing mobilization in the rear after being attacked by the German blitzkrieg, and expressing the intention of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to actively cooperate with the Soviet Red Army in combat.

At the end of the welcome dinner, the chairman invited Mikoyan to his residence for a long and detailed talk.

According to Mikoyan, in just one month after the start of the war, the Soviet army suffered heavy losses on the western front, and in addition to the loss of aircraft and other equipment, the main forces of the Red Army assembled in the west suffered heavy losses, and the situation was extremely grim, and the German army could hit under the city of Moscow. However, Mikoyan said with great confidence that today's socialist Soviet Union is no longer the Soviet Union of the time when imperialists intervened after the victory of the October Revolution, and that the Soviet Union will be able to defeat the German fascists as long as it overcomes the immediate difficulties.

The chairman and the boss remembered Liu Yimin's original telegram and proposed to Mikoyan that Moscow and Leningrad should be used as the fulcrum of defensive operations on the Western Front, and resolutely organize the defense of Moscow and Leningrad, consume the German army, and reverse the situation of the Soviet-German war.

At this time, the Central Committee of the Communist Party was in a state of confusion under the lightning blows of the German army, unable to grasp the key points, and did not have the intention and determination to organize the Battle of Moscow. When the chairman and the president said this, Mikoyan's interest was aroused, and he asked the chairman and the president to talk in detail about the idea of organizing the battle of Moscow.

To tell the truth, the affairs of the Chinese battlefield have not been fully considered and studied, and where do the chairman and the boss have the time and energy to carefully study the affairs of the Soviet-German battlefield. After reading the telegram reported by the Shandong Bureau, the chairman and the boss focused on the plan for a surprise attack on Shanghai, and thought in their minds that if the surprise attack on Shanghai was successful, they would be able to use the weapons, ammunition, and funds seized from Shanghai to equip the New Fourth Army nearby, so that the combat effectiveness of the New Fourth Army would be raised to a higher level and on a par with the main force of our army in Shandong. In that case, with the main force of Shandong in the north and the main force of the New Fourth Army in the south, the two armies crisscrossing the Jianghuai River and the Han River, the situation of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression will immediately change greatly.

Mikoyan's question really stopped the chairman and the boss. The chairman has never been abroad, and the situation when the boss went abroad is already very different from now, and they have no idea in their minds what the state of the equipment of the Soviet army is, and it is impossible to know why the Soviet army can hold Moscow

You must know that Greater Shanghai is no worse than Moscow, and Chiang Kai-shek concentrated so many main forces to defend Greater Shanghai, and finally had to retreat with hatred. The level of equipment and combat effectiveness of the German army is said to be one level higher than that of the Japanese army. Could it be that the Soviet army could really hold Moscow, as Liu Yimin envisioned?

This matter is a matter of the survival of the Soviet Union, and no one dares to pack a ticket!

The chairman and the boss had no choice but to say that this was just an idea, which was put forward by Comrade Liu Yimin, commander of the Shandong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army, and that he could send a telegram to report in detail.

Liu Yimin's name and his achievements are known to the whole world, not to mention the Soviet leaders who cared about and supported China's war of resistance?

The war on the Western Front was like a dangerous egg, and Mikoyan was an extremely pragmatic person, and when he heard that the comrades suggested that Moscow and Leningrad should be used as the fulcrum of defense, he was interested and had to read Liu Yimin's telegram.

Liu Yimin's telegram was a secret telegram sent to the central government, and there were many things involved in it, and some things were not suitable for Mikoyan to see. In this regard, the chairman still went to pick up the draft telegram himself, marked out the content related to the Soviet-German war on the draft telegram, and asked the Russian translator Zhe to quickly copy and translate it, and then take it back to Mikoyan to see.

When Mikoyan saw that Liu Yimin said that as long as he held out in Moscow until winter and let the German army stop under the cold city of Moscow, the turning point of the Soviet-German war would have arrived.

Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "Runzhi, Comrade Mikoyan is also an anxious child!" ”

Who knew that the next day, the situation suddenly changed, and the Japanese army suddenly made a move in the Far East without declaring war!

When Mikoyan set out, the Japanese army had not yet launched an attack on the Far East! He is a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, such a big matter, and he is shouldering the heavy responsibility of urging ** to send troops to attack the Japanese army, the Soviet Union naturally wants to inform him immediately.

Mikoyan worked hard for days, and after sending a telegram to Stalin, he let go of his heart, slept well and got up late. As a result, as soon as I got up, I received such news, and immediately went directly to the chairman and demanded that the first immediately carry out Comrade Stalin's instructions, concentrate on the northward march to launch an attack on the Japanese army, and contain the Japanese army.

The chairman is a grand strategist who has a clear view of the battlefield situation, and it is absolutely impossible for him to concentrate the main forces of the Eighth Route Army at this time to leave the base area and directly attack the Kwantung Army. Therefore, the chairman patiently analyzed the situation for Mikoyan and explained the reason why the Eighth Route Army could not go north to attack the Kwantung Army

This annoyed Vladimirov, who had come with Mikoyan to meet the chairman, and he immediately questioned the chairman ** why he did not carry out Comrade Stalin's instructions and why he did not actively launch an advance against the Japanese army

After all, Mikoyan was a member of the Politburo of the CPSU, and it was not easy for the chairman to get angry in front of him, so he had to patiently explain again the situation of the troops of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, the state of the troops' equipment, and the distribution of base areas behind enemy lines. In the end, the chairman reluctantly said that Chiang Kai-shek's army was eyeing around Shaanxi, and the Japanese army was peeking on the Yellow River in Shanxi, and the Eighth Route Army had to draw the main force to hold on to Shaanxi. The Shanxi battlefield is now extremely difficult, after the Japanese army launched the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, with the threat of a great victory, it stepped up the sweeping and encroachment on the anti-Japanese base areas in Shanxi, and the various units in Shanxi were in an extremely difficult situation under the suppression of the Japanese army, and each gun was about a few dozen bullets. Our army in Shandong was divided by the Japanese railway blockade line and could not echo it in several areas. In particular, the central and southern Shandong region, where the command organ of the Shandong Military Region is located, was surrounded by the Japanese army on three sides. No matter which direction our army breaks through, it will run the risk of the base area being occupied by the Japanese army. Judging from the actual situation, it was indeed difficult for the Eighth Route Army to attack northward

Vladimirov couldn't listen to it at all, he had been in Xi'an for a few months, and after observation, he found that Wang Ming, who had returned from Moscow, had stood aside and had a problem in his heart, subjectively believing that there was a problem with the guiding ideology of the first country, and now it was no longer about adhering to the united front and concentrating forces to resist Japan, but only wanted to expand the base areas, pull the ranks, and prepare for the seizure of national power. Therefore, he spoke particularly politely, and at that time he accused the chairman of asking all units of the Eighth Route Army not to carry out large-scale campaign combat operations against the Japanese army, resulting in the Japanese army having excess forces to advance north to attack the Soviet Union.

It may be that Vladimirov's words were too unkind, and the chairman's temper also came up, saying that Vladimirov's words ignored the facts and were divorced from the reality of the Chinese revolution. The Eighth Route Army did not fail to carry out large-scale campaign operations, but insisted on combining guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare behind enemy lines. In areas where our army is strong, such as the Shandong Military Region, at least two divisions of the Japanese army must be eliminated every year, and the number of enemies annihilated since the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in the north is greater than that of the entire Kuomintang army combined. Another example is the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, which once won the great victory at Pingxingguan and Yanmen Pass and the annihilation of a brigade of the Japanese army in Mongolia; The 129th Division, the Independent Division, and the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army have all achieved a series of brilliant achievements. However, the Japanese army is currently strong, and the better the Eighth Route Army fights, the Japanese army will frantically sweep our base areas. For example, last year's Battle of the Hundred Regiments was huge and the results were outstanding, but the Japanese army's retaliation and sweep were also very violent, resulting in great losses in several main divisions of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi. Now, the Soviet comrades want to let the main force of the Eighth Route Army go north to fight hard with the Kwantung Army, which is to send the backward Eighth Route Army to a dead end!

Now, it was a clanging noise. On one side is Russian, on the other is Chinese, both sides are very excited and their eyes are about to pop out, but the language is not clear, they are arguing, no one can understand the content of the quarrel, but the translator's tired forehead is sweating.

Quarrels don't solve the problem, it's all **, and it's all about resisting aggression, the goal is the same, and you have to sit down and study the solution after the anger is over.

The chairman told Mikoyan that our party had begun to draw up an operational plan to contain the Japanese army, but instead of going north to fight hard with the Japanese army, it would launch a major offensive in North and Central China, striving to force the Japanese army to send reinforcements from the northeast and reduce the pressure on the Soviet Far Eastern Front.

Mikoyan was indeed anxious, because the Red Army in the Far East was suffering losses every minute, and when he heard that he was drawing up an operational plan, he asked to participate in the formulation of the operational plan and implement it as soon as possible.

As a result, the central authorities began to send telegrams to the main forces, including Liu and Luo, who were far away in Shandong.

Historically, after the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, due to the heavy losses of the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the anti-sweeping operations in the later stage of the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, and the sharp reduction of its troops, our army did adopt the method of resolutely implementing guerrilla tactics to confront the devils, and rarely launched large-scale campaign operations. It was not until after 1943 that the Eighth Route Army gradually regained its strength and grew again stronger. By the time the Japanese surrendered, our army had already begun a local counteroffensive.

Similarly, after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war in history, the Soviet Union asked our army to march north to attack the Japanese army, but the chairman did not agree. The main reason is that the strength of the Eighth Route Army at that time was greatly damaged after the Battle of 100 Regiments, with an average of less than 20 rounds of ammunition per rifle, and there was not even a single mountain artillery or field artillery. Second, accurate information was later obtained that the Japanese army would not attack the Soviet Union, and it was likely that the Guan special exercise was used to cover its southward combat intentions.

Now it was different, the Japanese army not only advanced northward, but also put on a posture clearly to destroy the Red Army in the Far East in a very short time. Our army's guiding ideology and deployment must be changed accordingly.

At this time, only the Shandong troops were really prepared for a major campaign, and our army in Shanxi was in the stage of anti-sweeping operations and recuperation.

After Liu Yimin's reply arrived, the chairman and the boss read it, and in order to keep it strictly confidential, they pulled out the content of preparing to attack Shanghai in the south, and asked Shi Zhe to translate it for Mikoyan.

Mikoyan was not a military strategist, but the leaders of this era all came out of the flames of war, and when they read Liu Yimin's telegram, they also realized that the Far Eastern Front was in a very dangerous situation, and if it did not receive strong reinforcements, it was likely to suffer heavy losses like the Western Military District. Therefore, Mikoyan told the chairman and the boss that he immediately forwarded Comrade Liu Yimin's proposal to the Central Committee of the CPSU, asking the Chinese comrades to overcome all difficulties, deal a fatal blow to the Japanese army, and support the Red Army in the Far East.

The chairman sent another telegram to Liu and Luo, urging them to take effective action to shake the Japanese army and reduce the pressure on the Far East battlefield.

When the incident happened suddenly, what kind of effective actions could be taken to deter the Japanese army?

There is no clear instruction from the central authorities in this regard. The reason is that now the Japanese army in Shandong has stabilized its position, the defensive line is stable, the fortifications are strong, and the railway line has been repaired, and the railway can be used to quickly transfer troops and reinforcements. In particular, Lianyungang is home to the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army's Strategic Mobile Force, which can be reinforced, by rail or by ship, at any time on any battlefield in Shandong. Our army forcibly attacked the Japanese army's fortified defensive line, and that would pay a huge price! The Battle of Guanjiayuan in the Battle of the Hundred Regiments is proof of this!

It is also for this reason that the chairman and the boss, who are such great strategists, did not arbitrarily give Liu and Luo orders to which part of the Japanese army to attack, but only urged effective action.

The central government sent six urgent telegrams in a row, all urging Liu Yimin to take decisive action.

Liu Yimin, who was in Shijiu, couldn't sit still as soon as he connected to so many emergency telegrams, and began to think about how to hold back the footsteps of the Japanese army and cover the main force of the Soviet Far Eastern Front to shrink the defensive line and retreat to the Urals line.

As for whether Stalin would order the Far Eastern Front to shrink its line of defense and transfer the main forces, Liu Yimin was not worried. He knew that Stalin, despite all the extremely painful mistakes, was indeed an authoritative leader. In times of war, an authoritative leader, a stable core of power, is too important. It doesn't take Stalin's wisdom to be there, as long as he can deal with it calmly, the surviving marshals and generals of the Soviet Union will see the situation clearly and give him pertinent advice.

After thinking about it, Liu Yimin made up his mind.

The chairman and CEO in Xi'an received an urgent telegram from Liu Yimin: "Air attack on Tokyo within 3 days!" ”

After sending the telegram, Liu Yimin immediately drove back to the store.

Dear book friends: the monthly pass is a bayonet! Hurry up and get reinforcements!
