Chapter 110: It's All Upside Down

Lin Jun has always maintained respect for Comrade Mikhail Ivanovich Kalinin in his heart, and this old man, who was called "his kind grandfather Kalinin" by the common people in the Soviet Union, is a leading Soviet cadre whom he rarely respects consistently. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Since the formation of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in 1922, Kalinin has been Chairman of the Central Executive Committee of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. After the reorganization of the Supreme Soviet, Kalinin became Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, a position he held until his death in 1946. Few people know that the head of state of the USSR was not actually Stalin, but this Comrade Kalinin, who was already over 60 years old, although only in name.

Kalinin was not only a Soviet politician, revolutionary, and early state leader, but also a kind old man in Lin Jun's heart: Kalinin, like Lenin, was a leader who cared about the workers and peasants, and often came into contact with ordinary citizens as a national leader to understand their hopes and show the demeanor of a "good grandfather"; During the Great Purge, many people also wrote to Kalinin, and Kalinin often intervened in the trial, so he saved many innocent people - this is what Lin Jun admires the most, you must know that there are too few people who dare to stand up during the Great Purge. Because Kalinin was an almost impeccable person, many people also called him "the kind grandfather Kalinin".

Kalinin's only flaw in life was that he also signed an official document approving the Katyn massacre of Polish soldiers. Lin Jun also has his opinion on this point: sometimes a great man has to do things against his will, and even General Gallen, who has made great contributions to the Chinese revolution, has made mistakes in the treatment of prisoners of war who are affiliated with warlords, leaving lifelong regrets.

This time, Stalin temporarily transferred Kalinin's special plane to himself, which should also be inseparable from Kalinin's usual "good grandfather" style: if it was Marshal Voroshilov who went to Chita this time, then Lin Jun could only go to the Far East again in the simple canvas seat of the transport plane.

This time he "intercepted" Kalinin's special plane, although he couldn't miss his trip, Lin Jun still didn't want to go.

"Snornick, did you bring the tea that the chairman of the Chinese military commission gave me last time?"

During this time, Lin Jun's three entourages had a clear division of labor: Fekochinov was responsible for the transfer and sorting of all classified documents, a full-time confidential secretary; Landscoch was in charge of his personal guard; And Snornick temporarily put aside his duties as a driver and became the life secretary of the chief.

"Bring it all, Comrade Andrei." This is Lin Jun's request to his subordinates: Don't call yourself the chief, or Comrade Andrei is comfortable to listen to.

"Take out that unopened jar."

"Yes, Comrade Andrei."

Snornick walked to the back of the cabin, took out one of Lin Jun's suitcases from the small luggage compartment, and took out a tin can and handed it to Lin Jun.

This is a jar without any pattern decoration, it looks inconspicuous at all, at first glance you will think it is a large smoke can, only connoisseurs know that this is the best and most high-end container for storing tea.

Called the captain: "Comrade Andrei, old man, please bring this jar to Comrade Kalinin, and please convey my gratitude to Comrade Kalinin for borrowing the special plane." ”

"Comrade Andrei, can you tell me what is in it, or I will not be able to answer if Comrade Kalinin asks."

Poor old Lieutenant Colonel André was a little apprehensive when he asked this: in case the Andrei in front of him thought it would be bad if he had something to say, but he had to ask - the thing in front of him looked like a large grenade no matter how it looked.

"Hehe, the jar contains the best Chinese tea, which was given to me by the Chairman of the Military Commission of China, you can give it to Comrade Kalinin's life secretary first, and just bring my greetings directly."

Lin Jun is not a fool, a Russian really can't understand the purpose of this tin can, and he can understand why the captain asked this. Of course, Lin Jun will not care about the captain's words - people can't do it.

This time, the premium business jet will fly non-stop to Mogocha and then redirect to Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The first leg was nearly 1,700 kilometres, while the second was a full 1,900 kilometres. Everything went smoothly along the way, and Lin Jun would not be able to reach Komsomolsk until after nightfall. Business jets don't usually take this kind of ultra-long-distance continuous flight, but due to the tight schedule, the fact that the crew is relatively familiar with the route, and most importantly, the passengers are not opposed to flying this way, the route is so set.

This border conflict won't last for a few days, and if you arrive too late, you won't have anything to do with yourself -- this is not Lin Jun's temper: he was tied down by various reasons on the battlefield in Songhu, and he was still waiting to go to the Far East to let out this sulk!

In several border clashes with the Japanese army, the Soviet Red Army was never polite, and it has always attacked on all fronts, and this is also Lin Jun's favorite. Since the Japanese army occupied the three eastern provinces in 1931, the Soviet army and the Japanese army have clashed on the border more than 20 times, but each time it was a real small fight.

"Although it is a border conflict, we must fight this border conflict vigorously!" Lin Jun was thinking. Why he thinks that: Because a border conflict is a border conflict, and although both sides of the largest border conflict can commit more than six figures, it is still a border conflict and cannot be carried out in full force. Lin Jun is here, then this conflict will not end with dozens of casualties on both sides, if it is to come, it will be a big one, and no matter what, it will beat the Kwantung Army near the border and the Korean army of Japan to cry!

Komsomolsk-on-Amur is referred to as Komsomolsk-on-Amur City, located in the middle reaches of the Amur River (its upper reaches are the Heilongjiang River) in the Khabarovsk region of the Soviet Union. It was originally a small town, built in 1932 by the Communist Youth League of the Soviet Union in accordance with the plan of an industrial center, and by 1937 the new industrial city was already taking shape. One had to admire the ability to build under the communist system, and when at the behest of the Central Committee, young builders from all over the Soviet Union gathered in this sparsely populated region, and in just a few years a new industrial city appeared on the banks of the Amur River.

Lin Jun's plane appeared over Komsomolsk in the night, and he should be very familiar with the city below—of course, in his previous life.

A few decades later, Komsomolsk had a world-famous large enterprise - the "Komsomolsk-on-Gagarin Aviation Production Complex", because in Lin Jun's previous life, it manufactured Su-27 series military aircraft. In his previous life, Lin Jun had been to Komsomolsk several times with his father when he was still a middle school student, and he spent the last half of his career as a flight cadet here, so it can be said that he is very familiar with it.

It's a "familiar" city again, but it's still the same as ever.

"Komsomolsk, I'm here again."

Lin Jun and his entourage were greeted at the airport by the third-level national security political commissar Ryushikov, who was the first time Lin Jun had dealt with this Ryushikov and had never met in Moscow before.

Ryushikov informed Lin Jun of the situation at the front, and the reason for the outbreak of time surprised Lin Jun: this time was almost messed up by himself! But this surprise is really trivial compared to the "shock" caused by one thing that Lin Jun thought of next: after listening to Ryushikov's briefing, when Lin Jun was sorting out his memory of the Zhang Gufeng incident, he felt that the name of Ryushikov in front of him was flickering. After a few minutes of racking his brains and digging into his memory, Lin Jun finally got the answer he needed - the Ryushikov in front of him was the number one traitor in the history of the Soviet Union!

The reason for the outbreak of Zhang Gufeng's time in history was that in 1938, the third-level national security political commissar of the Soviet Union, Liushikov (the third-level national security political commissar is equivalent to a lieutenant general, and in the customary name of Western countries, it is a political lieutenant general; However, there is some controversy in some sources that Lyushekov is called a political general, but what is certain is that this Lyushekov is in possession of a large number of core secrets of the Soviet Union. Defection (There are various theories about the reasons for defection: there are theories about escaping the Great Purge, but it is to be purged, and a loyal communist fighter will not betray the motherland, so I personally think that he is definitely a pseudo-communist. ), fled across the border into Manchuria from the frontal under the jurisdiction of the 59th Border Garrison of the USSR (for ease of reading, the word "Manchuria" will be used in some chapters, with the addition of one sentence: Hit Japanese imperialism!). )。 Without discussing the bad effects and consequences of Ryushikov's defection, on July 7, 38, the special intelligence agency of the Kwantung Army learned that the new head of the 59th National Border Guard of the Soviet Union had sent a telegram to his superiors in Khabarovsk, suggesting that troops must be deployed to the high ground west of Xiangsandong. (Xiangshan Cave: The highland on the west side of Zhanggufeng, about 12 kilometers northeast, according to our analysis, refers to Qianlou Mountain located on the border line.) )

The Kwantung Army on this side believed that the above-mentioned opinions put forward in the telegram were a precursor to the readjustment of the Soviet deployment after Ryushikov fled. Therefore, the Kwantung Army informed the Korean Army, the Hunchun garrison, and the Hunchun secret service, and these departments jointly monitored the activities of the Soviet troops in the Zhanggufeng area.

On July 9, more than a dozen Soviet soldiers appeared on the summit of Zhanggu Peak, and they began to build positions on the slopes of the western side of the mountain, that is, on the Manchukuo side. By the afternoon of July 11, the number had reached about 40.

On July 15, the Japanese Chargé d'Affaires in the Soviet Union sent a note to the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the USSR, demanding the rapid withdrawal of Soviet troops from Zhanggufeng. The Soviet side replied that the above-mentioned activities of the Soviet troops were carried out within the territory of the Soviet Union (Japan and the Soviet Union each had their own basis for the ownership of this area, and both considered it to be their own), and therefore rejected the Japanese side's request. Then, on 20 July, Japanese Ambassador to the Soviet Union, Shigemitsu Aoi, again requested the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs of the USSR to restore the status quo ante, otherwise the Soviet side would be responsible for all the consequences. But the answer of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the USSR was: no threat can frighten Moscow.

On July 16, the War Department of the Base Camp believed that the Soviet occupation of Janggubong was an illegal border crossing, and on July 16 ordered the commander of the Korean Army, Lieutenant General Kotaro Nakamura, to "concentrate the troops of the Korean Army near the border according to the needs of the situation, but the exercise of force must be based on a separate order."

Then the Japanese and Soviet armies fought over the Заозёрная Heights (this is the name of the Soviet Army, that is, Zhanggu Peak, which means the high ground across the lake in Russian) and the Безименная Heights (Shacao Peak, which in Russian means nameless highland, that is, the nameless highland, located more than two kilometers north of Zhanggu Peak, and the height is slightly lower than Zhanggu Peak).

On the morning of September 15, 1937, the observation post of the 59th National Border Garrison found that about 50 Japanese soldiers had appeared on the top of Zhanggufeng, and they began to build positions on the slope of the eastern side of the mountain, that is, on the Soviet side. The local garrison immediately reported the situation to the command of the Far Eastern Military District in Khabarovsk.

Marshal Vasily Konstantinovich Bryucher, commander of the Special Army of the Red Banner in the Far East (as we often mention and is known as the Far Eastern Front after July 1, 1938), immediately informed Moscow of this situation, and Stalin immediately ordered the ambassador to Japan to send a note to the Japanese Foreign Ministry demanding the speedy withdrawal of Japanese troops from Zhanggufeng, but received the reply that Japan's above-mentioned activities were carried out in its own territory and therefore rejected the Soviet demand.

In accordance with his usual style, Stalin did not chirp with Japan again, and sent a telegram directly to Brücher: Immediately retake the land illegally occupied by the Japanese army, and must take this opportunity to deal a major blow to the Japanese army and effectively ensure the security of the border.

With Stalin's clear instructions, on the morning of the 16th, the Soviets recaptured Zhanggufeng with the strength of two infantry companies, and the next day the Japanese army made a comeback, sending troops to repel the Soviets and reoccupy the heights.

At this time, the Japanese army was in a hornet's nest, and Marshal Brücher mobilized his troops in a big way, preparing to use two integrated infantry divisions, an independent mechanized brigade, and all the aviation forces in the area to attack on a large scale. Since the transportation in the border area is not convenient, it takes time for large troops to move and assemble, and since September 17, the Soviet border troops have been fighting with the Japanese army for Zhang Gufeng, and the position has changed hands more than 20 times!
