Xiaolu issued a proclamation on the occupation of Sakhalin yesterday, and that evening, Chongqing called and reprimanded Xiaolu, why not ask the Chongqing government for such a big matter as the establishment of a government. The stakes are high and should be hosted by the Government.

The establishment of the Sakhalin Special Administrative Region is an urgent matter and has special significance for our occupation of the Outer Northeast. Sakhalin Island has been a Chinese territory since ancient times, and there is a lot of historical evidence, but there is no modern legal basis, and Japan and Tsarist Russia have legal documents on Sakhalin Island. I'm hesitant, I'm afraid something will happen. It is advisable for the central government to issue a proclamation declaring its sovereignty. This country is also a national righteousness.

After Xiaolu called back, the Chongqing government did not call back quickly. Obviously, they are in a dilemma, that is, Lao Jiang is in a dilemma. Publish a proclamation to express your support, unwillingly, because you have lost the dominant power, and if you issue a proclamation to express your opposition, it will definitely be opposed by the people. Take 10,000 steps back, even if he wants to send officials, no one will be willing to come, who wants to be a light commander in this bitter cold place?

Xiaolu focused his energy on the Outer Mongolian campaign.

Yang Jingyu called and expressed his concern.

Yang Jingyu said in the telegram that in every big war, we use a large number of advanced weapons, and in the long run, the building of the army will become a very problematic problem, and the army will have the problem of not having strong combat effectiveness, and without advanced weapons, we will not be able to fight a war.

Xiao Lu agreed, and called back: "Commander Yang, I agree with your opinion very much. Your foresight will certainly play a major role in the building of our armed forces. In addition, the war will overwhelm our economy, and we have used nearly half of the incendiary bombs in the attack on Sakhalin, which is really a last resort, because if the war lasts for more than half a month, our Sakhalin troops will have to retreat back to Temple Street, and in the spring of next year, the Japanese army will advance to the island, and the cost to our side will be even greater. ”

There are many trails.

The conclusion of his discussion with Mao Gong was that Xiaolu personally ruled in Vladivostok for three months, laying a solid foundation for the sinicization of the Vladivostok region. It is also necessary to strengthen the links between the Vladivostok region and the north-eastern hinterland.

To this end, Xiaolu planned a railway project, which he named the Suihai Railway, that is, the railway from Suifen to Vladivostok. The west side of the Suihai Railway is connected to the Binsui Railway at the Suifen River, and after the railway is completed, it will closely connect Vladivostok with the hinterland of the northeast.

Construction began on August 28, 1897 in Dongning County, and the Binsui Railway was the same broad-gauge railway as in Russia. In 1901, the entire line of the Binsui Railway was completed, and it began temporary business on November 14. In July 1903, the entire line of the Eastern Railway was opened to traffic. In March 1935, after Manchukuo purchased the Eastern Railway, on June 17, 1936, the broad gauge was changed to the standard gauge with a gauge of 1.435 meters.

The Japanese attached great importance to this railway, as it was the main route for transporting troops to Dongning and to Vladivostok. In 1939, the Manchurian Railway built a double line between the East Gate and Yimian Slope, which was completed in 1942.

The trail did not interfere too much with the railway, and the Japanese built it smoothly. Soon after the completion of the construction, the Northeast was restored.

Nowadays, by connecting Vladivostok, Ho Dong Ning, Suifen River and even Mudanjiang River, Vladivostok's status is stable.

In addition to building railways, he also carried out immigration activities.

Vladivostok is a peninsula with hilly terrain and no land suitable for farming, but Vladivostok is not far north of the twin cities, all the way to the area around Lake Xingkai, plus on both sides of the Ussuri River, there are many plains and swamps, all of which are reclaimable land and very fertile. The quality of the land is about the same as that of the Great Northern Wilderness. If it can be properly cultivated, it can produce a large amount of grain.

Xiaolu has set this year's immigration focus here and on Sakhalin. In the northern part of Vladivostok, along both sides of the railway, more than 1,000 settlements have been built, more than 100,000 troops have been dispatched, and the Japanese prisoners have been led to clear the land for several months, and 300,000 hectares of land have been opened, plus the land of the original Soviets, and one million people have been initially prepared to be resettled.

The main sources of immigrants are Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi. Many people from the south of the Northeast have also come, and at present, the million plan has been completed, and immigrants are still coming. Although Xiaolu has land to house these people, the old problem has come again, the food is not enough, and the entire Northeast Bureau is solving the food problem.

Although there is a lot of new land in the northeast, and there is enough grain to eat for two years after the autumn harvest, there is still at least a month before the autumn harvest, and the summer grain is almost exhausted.

In addition to immigration, rail transportation has also become one of the main jobs in the entire Tohoku. Lü Zhengcao was responsible for transporting personnel and supplies from Vladivostok to Siberia, while Li Sen was in charge of railway transportation and security work in the northeastern interior.

Mao Gong once again gave full support to the work in the Northeast, and transported cadres to the Northeast on almost every plane. The base areas in the provinces of North China also mobilized the common people and migrated to the northeast in large numbers.

Xiaolu is now under great economic pressure, and has just run out of remaining incendiary bombs on Sakhalin Island, when Zhao Shangzhi sent another urgent telegram asking for more aerial bombs and aircraft fuel. Northern Shaanxi has changed the destination of oil transportation to Outer Mongolia.

The Guanxiangying Force in Outer Mongolia has built several air bases in southern Outer Mongolia. Today, the Air Force has been stationed to constantly reconnoiter and strike at the Japanese troops in Outer Mongolia.

In addition, with these air bases, the Japanese army in Suiyuan was also threatened by our air force.

At present, the Soviet army has defeated the German army, which is alone in the depths, and the Japanese army has been running for more than 20 days and has entered the territory of Outer Mongolia.

August 23, 1943. The city of Mulun in northern Outer Mongolia.

It's August, the best season in the Mongolian steppe, the flowers have already bloomed, and the grass is already very tall.

This is the city of Mulun in the north of Outer Mongolia, with the Hangai Mountains in the south and the Kusugul Lake in the Kusugul region at the back. The city is on the north hill and south of the city is a river. The river is a tributary of the upper reaches of the Selenga River, which flows from Ulaanbaatar, that is, north of Kulen, through Ulan-Ude and into Lake Baikal.

A group of men and horses ran out of the ravine more than 100 miles away from Mulunxi, and there were dozens of them, wearing Japanese military uniforms, and when one of them saw the river, he was overjoyed and cheered, and ran to the river, without even taking off his clothes, jumped directly into the river, drank and washed, and shouted and screamed.

After a while, one of the leaders said a few words to the two men, and the two men mounted their horses and ran away the way they came. The horse was also drinking water and eating grass just now, but he was not yet full, and he was a little reluctant to leave the meadow by the river.

Yes, these are Japanese soldiers from the north.

The Japanese army attacking the Soviet Union was the elite of the Kwantung Army, and its survivability was also very strong, and under the attack of hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops, under the bombardment of aircraft in the sky and the bombardment of rockets, artillery and tanks on the ground, the whole army fought back, and the other side was in a stalemate for several days, and after losing tens of thousands of people, it was decided to retreat to the south, along the Yenisei River, over the mountains and mountains, and into the administrative province of Outer Mongolia in China.

Along the way, the infantry of the Soviet army in China, the Chinese tank artillery kept pursuing, the planes were more difficult, and along the way, the Japanese army constantly lost people.

Entering the mountains, the tanks and artillery stopped, the Soviet troops also retreated, and the large forces of the Northeast Coalition Army no longer pursued, only a few thousand Chinese infantry continued to pursue. The pursuing forces were reduced, and the Japanese felt that they were finally free from the infantry.

The planes were still difficult, and several times they blew up the dangerous hillside, causing the road to be destroyed, and the Japanese army walked less than 200 miles in the mountains, and all the cars were abandoned. The baggage was abandoned.

Without a vehicle, supplies immediately became strained. It was difficult to walk in the mountains, and the wounded soldiers could not walk at all, so they committed suicide one after another. Some were reluctant to commit suicide and wanted to wait for the Chinese army to save their lives, but the wounded soldiers also had officers, and under their persecution, almost all the wounded soldiers committed suicide, not to mention the seriously wounded with broken hands and feet, and even the lightly wounded also committed suicide one after another.

As soon as they entered the mountains, the Japanese army lost tens of thousands of people.

It took more than ten days to climb over the mountain, and during these ten days, there was hardly any human habit, and occasionally a few families were found, and the cattle and sheep that were robbed were not enough to eat. Where is there enough to hunt for so many people? The bombing of the planes in the sky and the harassment of the ground forces caused the Japanese army to lose tens of thousands of people in a dozen days.

The number of Chinese troops on the ground is unknown, but according to analysis, there are probably less than 10,000 people. These troops were mobile and flexible, and they were good at mountain warfare, and they were divided into more than a dozen small units, some pursued in the rear, shooting the soldiers behind the team, some put cold guns on the mountains on both sides, and some were in the front, driving away the Mongolian herdsmen along the way, and even shooting the Japanese vanguard to death. Without the pioneer reconnaissance, the Japanese army did not march smoothly, and they did not have a detailed map here.

This time the Japanese army was very resolute. As long as a small force is found to be attacking, it will resolutely send a small force, and the large force will ignore it and continue to advance.

Finally leaving the mountains, the vanguard of the Japanese army saw the river and the grass, can they not be happy? Slowly. What's ahead? Isn't that a flock of sheep? There's something to eat! Come on!

Grazing were two young shepherds, a man and a woman, who saw the Japanese soldiers running over, and instead of running immediately, they looked at these people, and felt very curious. When dozens of Japanese troops surrounded them, they were a little scared, and hurriedly circled the sheep and prepared to leave, but unfortunately it was too late. As soon as the male herdsman put the ** on his back, the Japanese gun's gun went off, and the herdsman fell on his horse at once.

When the Japanese soldiers saw the herdsman, they laughed, and several people surrounded her, pulled her off the horse, and tore her shirt open.

At this moment, gunfire came from the east, and three or four Japanese soldiers immediately fell.

Gunfire increased from the east, and soon a hundred and ten men arrived.

These people were wearing green military uniforms, and their marksmanship was extremely accurate, almost without missing a shot, and they rushed towards them while firing their guns. Soon, there were more than a dozen Japanese troops left, and without even a single sheep, they began to retreat.

The troops from the east began to pursue, killing eight or nine of the fleeing Japanese soldiers, and no longer pursued.

Someone in the eastern army spoke Mongolian and told the herdsman to put on her clothes and drive the sheep away. Go back and tell the villagers that they should quickly leave the pasture and go into the mountains, that the Japanese themselves have been defeated, and they will retreat to the south, and they will arrive soon. The route of escape for the Japanese was this valley, and everyone left far away.
