October 3, 1941. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Soviet Far East.

The situation in the Soviet Far East is rather not optimistic.

Since early September, the Japanese army has occupied most of the urban area of Hailanpao.

After seizing Hailanpao's shipyard and wharf, dozens of large ships transported the Japanese army Sun Wu's troops to Hailanpao. The remaining less than 10,000 Soviet soldiers fled west to Chita by train, and a few obeyed orders and fled east to Burley.

In fact, no one knows whether it is better to go west or east. The Far Eastern Railway is just such a line, Chita in the west has been cut off, and the east has also been broken. Where is the way out? The higher authorities should concentrate their efforts on counterattacking. Can you fight back?

Hailan became the base camp of the Japanese army.

In the past 20 days, the Japanese army transported a large number of troops from Harbin Jiamusi and other places to Sun Wu, and then to Hailan Pao, where the Japanese army divided its troops, one to the east, and captured one station after another along the way, preparing to attack Boli. The other part went west to support the Japanese forces attacking Chita.

The troops to the east captured the railway station town without incident, but as they were about to cross the river to attack Boli, the Soviets blew up the bridge. The Japanese army was blocked north of Heilongjiang.

To this day, the Japanese troops north of Heilongjiang could not cross the river, so they could only set up artillery and fire at Boli, that is, Khabarovsk, on the south bank.

In half a month, Boli has been bombed, almost all the office buildings have been destroyed, and the fortifications along the river have also been destroyed.

However, Boli is also gathering forces and preparing for a defensive battle. They knew that in a month and a half, Heilongjiang would be frozen, and at that time, the Japanese army would be able to drive straight in.

On the Vladivostok front, the situation in the Soviet army has stabilized. Since the fall of the Twin Cities ten days ago, the Japanese army of 200,000 troops has taken Algiomu and besieged Vladivostok.

Vladivostok is a very special city. The Soviet name of the city was Vladivostok, which means the conquest of the East. It was a Far Eastern city conquered during the Tsarist period.

From the mid-17th century, the Russian Empire sought to open ice-free ports in the Far East. Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty had many territorial disputes.

During the reign of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia signed the Treaty of Nebuchu. It clearly states that Vladivostok belonged to the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Qing Dynasty's national power was declining, and its control over the north of the Heilongjiang River and the east of the Ussuri River was lax, and there was no defense on the border, which provided an opportunity for Russia to occupy a large area of land on China's frontier.

** After the war, in 1858, the Qing government and Tsarist Russia signed the unequal Treaty of Aihui, which stipulated that the area east of the Ussuri River, including Vladivostok, would be administered by China and Russia.

Two years later, in 1860, during the Second ** War, Russia signed the unequal Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing with the Qing government, in which the Qing government ceded about 400,000 square kilometers of territory east of the Ussuri River, including Sakhalin Island, including Vladivostok.

Since then, Vladivostok has been officially cut.

In 1891, the Trans-Siberian Railway was opened, and there were also shipping routes between Kobe and Nagasaki in Japan and Shanghai in China. Vladivostok thus prospered.

This place turned out to be Chinese, and even the Soviets themselves were recognized by many people. Later, Tsarist Russia fell and the Soviet Union was formed. The Soviet Union built and expanded fortresses on the basis of Tsarist Russia to defend against invasion from the sea.

Aggression at sea refers to Japanese aggression.

After the decline of the Qing Dynasty, Japan won several successes in China, and it was natural to occupy China's land. The essence of the Russo-Japanese War was the seizure of Chinese land by the Japanese army and the Russian army.

In 1904 and 1905, the Russo-Japanese War broke out. The Japanese army was going to attack Vladivostok at first, but because of the strength of the Russian navy, the focus of the attack shifted to the brigade area.

In 1917, the October Revolution broke out in Russia, and the chaos of the civil war in the Soviet Union led to the infiltration of anti-communist forces into the Russian Far East. The foreign powers of Britain, the United States, and Japan supported these forces. In April 1918, under the pretext that Japanese-funded facilities were attacked, Japan stationed in the Golden Horn and Vladivostok, and established the "Far Eastern Republic" in 1920.

By 1922, the Far East had been recovered by the Soviet Union and the Far Eastern republics had fallen.

After many years of operation, several lifetimes of Russian military engineers with their efforts, the whole city is a huge fortress. The fortress was stockpiled with a large amount of arms and food, which was said to be enough to feed the troops guarding the fortress for several years.

The most surprising thing was the cannons of the fortress. The weight of each barrel of the cannon is 51 tons, the caliber is 350 mm, and the length is about 16 meters. Rotating turret with three cannons at angles from -5 to +25 degrees, the maximum firing range is 35 km.

Such a cannon is almost invincible.

However, such fortress guns were pointed at the sea, defending against the enemy at sea, warships at sea. There are also cannons in other directions, which are not as powerful as the giant cannons.

This time, due to the preparation of the southward advance strategy, the Japanese army did not send out the navy, and all the attacks were completed by the Eastern Army.

The warships of the Soviet Pacific Fleet were moored in the harbor, and the guns on the ships were used to support defensive battles on land.

Wang Li's Far East office was not evacuated ahead of schedule.

Before the Japanese army attacked the Soviet Far East, the Far East had already received information. Moreover, they also got the news that the Soviet Union was not ready to shoot the army back. The war started, and the Soviets wanted to flee, but they heard that there was also a war in Blagoveshchensk, and there was also a war in Manchuria, and most of them gave up fleeing westward.

Yichun and the Far East were so close that there were many people in Vladivostok, some recuperating from injuries and some recuperating. These people had already been evacuated at the same time when they were evacuated from Moscow, and only about two dozen people remained here at the moment, and there was one ship, which was the troop carrier.

The troop carrier is Yichun's training ship, and how many batches of sailors and sailors have been trained.

According to Yi Chun's instructions, the captain had already prepared all the supplies, was always on alert, and was ready to retreat at any time.

Wang Li's office won the favor of the Soviet army. Recently, a large amount of timely and accurate information provided by them allowed the Soviets to organize a successful retreat and avoid civilian damage. In addition, they also provided the dynamics of the Japanese troops along the route at the same time as the Soviet army was defeated, which provided a good basis for the movement of troops in Vladivostok.

These days, the northern side of Vladivostok was besieged, the Japanese army was only a dozen kilometers away from the city, and the Soviet and Japanese troops on the front line were fighting fiercely. For ten days, the two sides repeatedly fought over the Soviet defensive line, and the positions changed hands several times.

Because of the huge artillery support of the fleet at sea, the Japanese army was stuck on the road and it was difficult to advance.

The city of Vladivostok is not chaotic, with soldiers standing guard in key places, citizens and women building fortifications in the suburbs, and some building barricades.

Wang Li took a telegram, drove to the headquarters of the Far Eastern Front, directly to the headquarters of the Soviet Far Eastern Army, and said: "Oh no, Khabarovsk is surrounded. The Japanese army crossed the Ussuri River and went north along the railway, and today the vanguard is only five kilometers from Khabarovsk. According to our intelligence, there were about 30,000 Japanese troops coming from the south. ”

The Ministry of Intelligence immediately contacted Khabarovsk, to which he replied: no Japanese troops were found.

The command learned of this news and immediately ordered Khabarovsk to immediately prepare for battle.

If Khabarovsk were captured by the Japanese army, then there would be only one city in the entire eastern Far East, Vladivostok.

Leaving the headquarters, returned to the office. The office is a small building, located on the northern outskirts of Vladivostok. The small building occupies a large area, with gardens on the left and right, a street on the south side, and a hillside on the north side.

Entering the small building, the small building was messy, everyone was packing up their things, dozens of boxes were placed in the hall on the first floor, and a person greeted him and said, "Director, everything is sorted out, it's time to go." ”

Wang Li said: "Okay." Except for a few people who stayed behind with me, the others took their belongings and retreated from the sea. ”

The man said, "Director, what about the few people you left behind?" ”

Wang Li said: "We have to persevere. I'm relieved that you can evacuate safely. ”

What Wang Li could not say was that she was going to arrange the work after the defeat of the Soviets and the Japanese occupation of Vladivostok. She has arranged for a dozen people to lurk, and has secretly bought a grocery store in the city as a contact point. The sleeper has taken the radio in place.

As for herself, she knew that the Japanese spies in Vladivostok knew about her and had to retreat before and after the defeat of the Soviet Union.

The whole world has changed.

History has been badly detached from its original trajectory and has deviated in a very different direction in an uncanny way. The eyes of the whole world were focused on the Soviet battlefield. The eyes of the West are focused on the Western front of the Soviet theater, and the eyes of the East are on the Far Eastern theater.

Now, east of Chita in the Soviet Far East, several pieces were broken through by the Japanese and several places were occupied. There were not many places that the Soviets really occupied. The Japanese swept away the decline of the Nomenkan, and this time fought smoothly in the territory of the Soviet Union, and there was a tendency to fully occupy the Soviet Far East.

Germany on the Western Front also took advantage of Japan's momentum, and the offensive became more and more intense.

The Soviet Union seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

Japan is jubilant, but China is filled with grief and panic. European countries were counting on the Soviet Union to consume Germany, and now seeing that the situation is not good, they are planning to establish relations with Germany.

The United States was stunned by the dramatic changes in the Soviet Far East. The Soviet Far East was not the focus of the world situation, and almost all attention was paid to the war situation in the Soviet Union and the progress of Britain. The attitude of the United States towards the Soviet Union was very delicate. Like the British, they did not like Germany, and even more so the USSR. But now, with greater pressure and threat on Germany, some want the Soviet Union to hold out.

The vast majority of Americans felt that the Soviet Union was doomed. The U.S. government is studying the possibility of Soviet defeat and the strategy of coping with the complete partition of the Soviet Union. Only a few people propose that the USSR will not perish.

The people of Chongqing pinned their only hope on the United States, hoping that an American superhero wearing underwear would appear and save all mankind.

Xinhua Ribao expressed a different view, holding that the Soviet Union would not perish, and the good possibility was that the Soviet Union and the Soviet army and the Japanese army would fall into a protracted war, and the German and Japanese armies would lose their superiority as the occupied areas increased. The worst could be the occupation of the USSR and guerrilla warfare was waged throughout the USSR.
