"The Associated Press reported that the pit army today dispatched 1,000 planes to bomb the German Ruhr region, and the Allied spokesman said that the bombing was extremely successful, and the Ruhr industrial area concentrated a large number of German steel mills and military factories, QВ (5), cOm/"

"According to the Associated Press front, today the Allies dispatched thousands of planes to carry out a large-scale bombardment of the German troops who were attacking Anzio Beach, and the ground troops launched a counterattack on the German troops under the cover of the air force, forcing the Germans to be eight kilometers behind, and the Anzio front turned into a safe one."

According to the Associated Press in Moscow, Chinese Ambassador Fu Bingchang issued a statement to reporters at the airport, suggesting that China and the Soviet Union recalled each other's ambassadors, and the reason for the comprehensive rupture of Sino-Soviet relations was that Soviet Russia never abandoned its territorial ambitions for China's Xinjiang, Menggu and Northeast China. The Moscow government must bear full responsibility for the rupture of Sino-Soviet relations. ”

"The following is the interpretation of the Sino-Soviet relations by Steven, an international affairs expert at the Associated Press"

"Harry, what is your view on the current Sino-Soviet relations?"

It was still cold in Washington in early spring, and Roosevelt sat by the fireplace, the wood in the stove flickering with dark red flames, and the heating baked the whole room warm.

Hopkins sat on the couch with Erlang's legs on his legs, holding coffee in his hand, and drank it first after hearing the words. coffee, and then smiled: "Stalin was annoyed and angry, they planned the Xinjiang incident, they thought they could get tickets, and now they found out that they had caught a hedgehog." ”

Both Ambassadors Wedemeyer and Ambassador Gauss sent accounts of the Xinjiang incident, and both of them were highly aware of the incident, and both believed that Soviet Russia had planned the Xinjiang incident in order to divide China and contain China at the same time, so as to realize Stalin's ambitions for Northeast China and Mengu.

On the radio, the Associated Press observer was impassionedly expounding: "..., China accuses Soviet Russia of plotting a rebellion in Xinjiang, and the Soviet government condemns this accusation, but I think that more and more evidence shows that the Chinese government's accusation is justified Sino-Soviet relations have come to this day,......。 ”

Roosevelt grinned: "It seems that he agrees with us as well." ”

Hopkins also smiled, and Roosevelt continued: "Chiang Kai-shek has seen through Stalin's attempt, and Stalin's purpose in planning the Xinjiang incident is still the northeast, and Chiang Kai-shek will not be able to make concessions on this." ”

"The squadron annihilated nearly 400,000 Japanese troops in North China, but General MacArthur and General Nimitz reported that the Japanese army did not transfer troops back from Nanyang." Hopkins's expression was a little puzzled, the North China fiasco and the Northeast were in danger, but the Japanese army did not transfer troops back from Nanyang, which made people a little confused, did the Japanese not want the Northeast anymore?

Roosevelt smiled, lit the cigarette holder, and took a puff of cigarette: "Harry, the Japanese have been wiped out by millions in recent years, and Japan must also hold the Philippines, Mariana and Singapore. ”

Hopkins thought about it and bowed slightly, the troops that Japan can draw from the South Seas have been annihilated in North China, and the rest is necessary, Japan now wants to increase its troops in the Northeast, so it can only be transferred from Japan.

"Associated Press MOSCOW News: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union issued a statement today reiterating the Soviet Government's support for the self-reliance struggle of the colonial and semi-colonial peoples, and the Soviet Government's support for the struggle for national self-reliance of the peoples of Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Korean colonies and semi-colonies,...... Product"

This report attracted the attention of Roosevelt and Hopkins, and after a long while, Roosevelt solemnly said to Hopkins: "Harry, it seems that he is going to Moscow and Chongqing." ”

Hopkins understood that Roosevelt had called him to the White House today, and that was what he did. Hopkins asked, "President, what is our position?" ”

From the beginning to the end, the US government has only issued a few statements hoping that the two sides will exercise restraint and maintain unity among their allies.

"The Chinese wiped out millions of Japanese troops, the Russians wiped out millions of German troops, they are all important allies of ours" Roosevelt's tone was slow, as if he had not yet made up his mind: "In the long run, China is more important to us, but at this stage, we need Soviet Russia more." ”

Hopkins didn't speak, he just quietly waited for Roosevelt's decision, Roosevelt's eyes fixed on the fire in the fireplace, and the wood crackled softly.

"We must support China's claim to the Northeast, which is in line with the Atlantic Declaration, as well as the Cairo and Tehran Declarations, China's sovereignty over the Northeast, there is no doubt about that, we also support China's actions in Xinjiang, Stalin hit a wall in Xinjiang, he should have taken the money, he should be able to accept this result, after the war, we can give all Sakhalin to Soviet Russia, and in Tehran, we decided to implement a free vote in Mengu after the war, and we should support Soviet Russia. As for the rest, if Harry, Stalin and Chiang Kai-shek bring it up, don't promise them yet, but don't refuse either. ”

Hopkins understood what Roosevelt meant, and the current situation required the United States to intervene, but the United States still did not refrain from hinting at who to support, to reconcile the contradictions between China and the Soviet Union, and at least to maintain this cowardly alliance until the end of the war.

"According to the Associated Press, today, the commander of the North China Theater of Operations, General Zhuang Jihua, known as the undefeated general, announced that the squadron will continue to pursue the Japanese army, and in order to completely defeat the Japanese army, he ordered General Wei Lihuang to lead his troops into Mengggu and eliminate the Japanese troops entrenched in the Mengggu area."

"Look, Stalin is probably going to be furious, the Chinese reached into Mensfoe and shook his head and sighed.

This statement by the Chinese government could deceive ordinary people and journalists, but in the eyes of these politicians, Chiang Kai-shek began to fight back against Stalin.

"When am I unmoored?" When Hopkins heard the news, he couldn't help but be stunned, Chiang Kai-shek was so tough, not only rejected the proposal of peace talks between Soviet Russia in Xinjiang, but also directly attacked Gu, completely ignoring the threat of Soviet Russia, Sino-Soviet relations are now dangerous.

The snow and ice have not yet melted under the bright sky, the green stubbornly sticks out of the vast white, and the wind blowing from the north brings a Siberian chill. On the grassland, flocks of white sheep ate grass peacefully and leisurely, and the herdsmen in front of the gate looked at the long march blankly.

After Moscow asked China to recall its ambassador, Chiang Kai-shek, who was hesitating, immediately ordered Wei Lihuang to attack Menggu, for which Zhuang Jihua transferred all the materials to Wei Lihuang for the attack on Pingjin, and all the oil to be made up for the first army was also transferred to Qiu Qingquan's mechanized army, which barely met Wei Lihuang's requirements.

The army that went out to conquer Mengu was composed of the 14th Group Army, the 86th Army, the 94th Army, the 10th Army, the Provisional Army, the 6th Group Army of the Provisional Fourth Army, and the 1st Mechanized Group Army, with a total military strength of 460,000, of which the 1st Mechanized Group Army, the 86th Army, the 94th Army, and the 10th Army were the main forces.

Wei Lihuang's plan was to divide the army into two routes, the left route was personally led by him, which was composed of the 14th Group Army, the 86th Army, the 94th Army, and the 6th Group Army, with a total army strength of 200,000; The right route is Fu Zuoyi as the commander-in-chief, and it is composed of the First Mechanized Group Army, the Tenth Army, the Provisional Army, and the Temporary Fourth Army, with a total military strength of 200,000.

The Left Route Army entered Menggu from Zamyn-Uud, along Erdeni and Ergen, and captured the Saidayin Mountain, while the Eighth Theater sent the Q Army from Suiyuan to enter Menggu, occupy Hatan Prague, cut off the passage of the Meng Ancient Army in South Gobi Province, and cover the flank of the Lihuang army.

The Right Army entered the province of Gusukhbaatar in Meng Güsukbaatar and first occupied Nalan and Onggun,

Dariganga then advanced northward, occupying Siurt.

Subsequently, the Right Army attacked Kent Province and occupied Öndörkhan, while the Left Army divided its forces into two routes, with the main force attacking Ulaanbaatar and the other attacking Central Gobi Province.

Under the sun, the march on the snowy grassland is very difficult, the wind is still relatively cold, but with the fragrance of grass, there is only a simple road on the grassland, this road is covered with ice and snow, after the vehicle crushed, it becomes very muddy, and the long marching army treks forward with difficulty.

The government of the Republic of China, whether it is the Beiyang government or the national government, has not recognized that the gate is self-reliant, and has always insisted that the ancient gate is a part of China, and China has sovereignty over the ancient country.

"This is a great march for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!" Mei Yiqi, president of Southwest Associated University, raised her arms and cheered.

"Meng Gu is our inherent territory, and it is our mission to recover Meng Gu!" The famous scholar Fu Sinian shouted at the political participation meeting: "It's too late to let the men and gus wander outside the motherland!" ”

However, contrary to the cheers of the press and intellectuals, the arguments of the top echelons of the Nationalist Government were always linked to the pursuit and destruction of the Japanese army, while the military generals were high-profile in public, but the lower echelons were always cautious.

In an interview with reporters, Chen Cheng said excitedly: "The pursuit of the remnants of the Japanese army into Menggu is a great victory achieved under the chairman's program of resistance against Japanese aggression and the founding of the country!" ”

Zhuang Jihua, commander of the North China Theater of Operations, who was specifically in command, said in an exclusive interview with Weber Mei Youlan: "General Wei Lihuang's pursuit of the Japanese army is of great significance to ensuring the safety of North China from the north and advancing into the northeast, and the Japanese army will no longer be able to threaten our North China from the north, and we can concentrate all our forces to attack Beiping, Tianjin, and then the Northeast." "But Si Xiali, both Zhuang Jihua and Chen Cheng are worried about attacking Mengu now,

Wei Lihuang's troops were seriously undersupplied, with only two and a half bases of artillery shells and not very abundant fuel, so it would be very dangerous to clash with Sumen G's army.

Therefore, Zhuang Jihua's order to Wei Lihuang was to occupy the East Gobi and Sukhbaatar and then stop the advance, and whether to continue the offensive or not depended on the logistical situation. Chen Cheng's order was more cautious, requiring the Left Army to occupy Saiyingda Mountain, and the Right Army to stop advancing after occupying Siourt, expecting logistical support.

"General Zhuang, will the attack on Menggu affect the attack on Beiping Tianjin?" Weber made a poignant suggestion.

"It doesn't have much impact" Zhuang Jihua replied without changing his face: "The reason why we have not adopted an attack on Beiping Tianjin for a long time is to give General Okamura Ningji some time, the Japanese army in Beiping Tianjin has no way to escape, I hope they will lay down their arms and avoid unnecessary casualties, this is humane to the soldiers, as a military general, I think General Okamura Ningji is very clear." ”

"Like it says on the flyer?" Mei Youlan was in a good mood and asked with a smile.

"Yes." Zhuang Jihua stood up, walked to the window, pushed open the window, and inhaled deeply. There was some dry air, and when he saw Feng Yi and Yu Ji, Zheng Dongguo was doing something in the yard, Feng Wei made a joke, and Yu Jishi and Zheng Dongguo laughed.

Yu Jishi Zheng Dongguo arrived at the North China Theater two days ago, and Yu Jishi was appointed deputy commander of the North China Theater, and Zheng Dongguo's position has not yet been determined, so he temporarily assumes the post of deputy adviser to the North China Theater to assist in managing logistics. Both of them went to Chongqing before they went to the North China Theater, and only went to North China after meeting Chiang Kai-shek.

After Chiang Kai-shek's order was issued, Zhuang Jihua immediately discussed with Feng Yi, Feng Wei thought that this was Chiang Kai-shek paving the way for the final settlement of Zhuang Jihua, Yu Jishi was to replace Zhuang Jihua, and Zheng Dongguo may have come to replace Du Yuming, but Feng Wei did not think that Chiang Kai-shek would take action now, this is because Chiang Kai-shek still needs Zhuang Jihua, and also because Zhuang Jihua's huge influence in the people and the army has forced Zhuang Jihua to rebel, which will have a disastrous impact in the Whampoa system.

Zhuang Jihua accepted this judgment, Chiang Kai-shek now has no suitable reason to withdraw and lose himself, the North China Theater has achieved great success under his leadership, and most of the current troops in the North China Theater are brought out by themselves, including the expeditionary force, even if Yu Jishi has served as the commander of the expeditionary force, but several expeditionary forces in the North China Theater are trained by his hands, Yu Jishi can be transferred to high-level generals, but what about middle and lower-level officers? For those brigade-level officers, Zhuang Jihua believed that Yu Jishi did not have enough cadres, and he had not yet gained control of the entire army, as long as the 2nd Army of the New Eighth Army changed two army commanders and six division commanders, the army would still be his.

After the 77274 Xinkou Army moved south, the 10th Army, the 10th Army, the 17th Army of the Northeast Army, and the 2nd Cavalry Army, in addition to the Northeast Anti-Japanese Advance Army in the combat sequence of the Northern Route Army, were successively opening to North China, among which the most untied 10th Army had arrived in Dexian, and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Advance Army had also opened to Tongzhou.

Yu Jishi saw Zhuang Jihua at the window and waved at him, Zheng Dongguo turned his head to look at Zhuang Jihua, Feng Yi squinted, and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhuang Jihua turned around: "Mr. Weber, sister, are you interested in going outside Beiping City to have a look?" ”@。
