"Marshal Blyukhel, what is the movement of the Japanese Kwantung Army on the Manchurian side?" Lin Jun asked. The www.biquge.info Japanese made the first move this time, and it is estimated that it will not be only the devils of the Korean army who will join in the fun.

"Judging from intelligence, only the newly formed 15th Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army (which was abolished in 1925) has made any moves, but it does not pose a threat to our flanks at present. On the contrary, the 20th Division of the Korean Army is in combat readiness mobilization, and it is possible that it will serve as a reserve for the 19th Division of the Japanese Army. ”

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little strange now: Lin Jun, the "staff officer", became the chief officer of the question, and Blyukhel became the staff member who answered the questions, but neither side felt that anything was wrong.

Lin Jun stood in front of the map and drew a circle on the map with a pencil: "As long as we cut off the Japanese army's logistics supply lines in the Maoshan, Gumaoshan, and Hongyili areas, we will win half of this battle." ”

Turning around, he asked the commander of the aviation forces on the side: "Comrade Antonov, how many planes can we currently put into front-line combat with one performance?" ”

"One fighter detachment (the Soviets in this period had become accustomed to calling air units at the wing level detachments, equivalent to regiments) plus two and a half bomber detachments, about 80 fighters and 180 bombers were able to all sortie in two hours, and follow-up aircraft were also being assembled, but it would take several days to complete the sortie preparations. We still have enough aerial bombs and incendiary bombs, and our logistical comrades have basically delivered supplies to the front-line airfields. ”

"Comrade Marshal, I have a plan: to throw in all the aviation forces at our disposal at once, to make successive sorties, to destroy the material and living forces of the Japanese army in the triangle of Maoshan, Gumaoshan and Hongyili areas, and at the same time concentrate the main forces of the 40th Infantry Division, which has been assembled in front of the Безименная Heights (Shacao Peak), and take the heights in one go. So that in at least a week, the initiative of the battle will be in our hands! ”

"Comrade Andrey, such a large-scale gap requires a direct order from Moscow."

There is a reason for Blücher's fears, and the responsibility for privately launching a "military conflict" of this scale is not small, and without Stalin's direct orders, even he, the commander of a special army group, would have had difficulty making up his mind.

"Comrade Marshal, I have a direct order from Comrade Stalin: as long as the Japanese army launches a provocation on the border, it will be beaten so that it does not even know its grandmother!" Although it is a bit vulgar, Stalin really had such a statement with Lin Jun: Fight to the death! This is still the idea that Lin Jun gave Stalin before.

"Listen to my orders, at two o'clock in the afternoon the 40th Infantry Division launched a general ground attack, and it was necessary to take the Безименная heights. The aviation forces were commanded by Antonov, and Comrade Andrei coordinated the coordination between the ground and the air. Chief of Staff, urge the other troops to step up their build-up in case the Japanese counterattack! Immediately after the arrival of the 32nd Infantry Division at the predetermined position, a regiment of troops was sent to defend the Заозёрная heights (Zhanggufeng). ”

Lin Jun's words made Blyukhel make up his mind, with this "prince" on his shoulder, he didn't have to worry about fighting too big and incurring Moscow's scrutiny.

"Yes, Comrade Marshal!"

Lin Jun made emergency coordination with Antonov and Bazarov. In order to support the attack on Shacao Peak, Antonov will send 30 SB-2 fast bombers stationed in Vladivostok to bombard Japanese positions before the infantry attack, and after the air force bombardment, the artillery units will also carry out a long period of fire preparation. At this time, there was no need to worry about the Japanese army's support troops: Lin Jun prepared more than 150 bombers and 80 fighters for them.

As long as this battle is won, the main forces of the Soviet army in the other two divisions will have enough time to complete the deployment, and it will be difficult for the Japanese army to turn the sky upside down.

Lin Jun was a little glad because there was still time: it was just after nine o'clock in the morning, and in a little more than an hour the Khabarovsk bombers would be able to take off on time and bomb targets in North Korea before two o'clock in the afternoon, while the planes of Ussuriysk and Vladivostok would have more time. When the planes on this side start dropping bombs, the bombing of Shacao Peak will also start at the same time.

"Nineteenth Division? There are not enough bombs in Shanghai Lao Tzu, this time there are you who are comfortable! ”

After coordinating with Antonov, Lin Jun knew that he was now a rich man, no matter if there were planes capable of launching large-scale cluster bombing, and the ammunition was even more sufficient. The Far Eastern Red Banner Special Army is worthy of being a veteran military district of the Soviet Union, and its family base is not ordinarily thick: for aerial bombs alone, all the planes at hand are capable of attacking in a 24-hour continuous attack, which is enough for almost three months. What made Lin Jun happiest was that the solidification ****** that had been in short supply when he was in Songhu were enough here -- there was a military factory in Gongqingcheng that produced aerial bombs, and not only traditional aerial bombs were produced, but also the production line for solidification ****** had been put into production for some time.

Lin Jun is currently worried about only one thing: whether the Japanese army will only send ground troops and not its aviation, as it has done in history. But this worry is only fleeting, because even if the Japanese army sends all the air forces stationed in Korea to the border, Antonov also has the means and strength to defeat them all!

September 26, 1937, 12 noon Tokyo time, Gumosan, North Korea.

The commander of the 19th Division, Lieutenant General Otaka Kamezo, finished his lunch and was walking to his temporary headquarters. It has always had a reputation for courage and courage among the Japanese army, and Otaka Kamezo did not live up to this name: after receiving the order of the commander of the Korean Army, Lieutenant General Nakamura Kotaro, its troops completed the mobilization of combat readiness within three days, and now they have moved their headquarters from Luotian to Gumosan, in order to be able to command the troops to move and fight at close range.

After receiving the order, Ogaka Kamizo said: "We must take this opportunity to strike a blow at the Soviet army so that it can taste the might of the Japanese army, otherwise it will be difficult to accomplish the important task of effectively ensuring border security." ”。 The Japanese army's consistent style is to settle border disputes by force, and it is confident in the combat effectiveness of its troops, and the only thing that makes it dissatisfied is that the commander of the Korean army, Lieutenant General Nakamura Kotaro, and the chief of staff Yoshida are determined not to allow themselves to expand the war, and even ban all aircraft stationed in Korea.

"Two cowards! A bunch of cowards! "Thinking of the telegrams given to him by his boss, Ozaka Kamizo is on fire in his belly." The reason for the outbreak of this border conflict is very clear, it is the direct order of the command to let the border guards occupy two high ground to show the prestige of the imperial army, and at the same time achieve the purpose of deterring the Soviet army, which even several border guards of the Kwantung Army participated. It can be said that this incident was a rare joint effort in the history of the Korean Army and the Kwantung Army, and at that time, Odaka Kamizo was excited for a while, thinking that he could fight with the Soviet Union.

"A bunch of rubbish, it's a shame for the Empire!"

Thinking of the development of this incident, Odaka Kamezo's face was even more ugly.

"The commander of the division, the latest telegram from the headquarters." Just as Otaka Kamizo was sulking alone, its chief of staff, Major General Yoshida, came over.

"Yoshida-kun, what does that say?"

"It's still the same old thing, and we don't want to escalate the situation. One serving a day, it's endless! ”

The small Yoshida and Ozaka Kamezo are a perfect match, one is as strong as a bull, and the other is skinny and skinny. Yoshida was transferred to the 19th Division later than Odaka Kamezo, and the two men were from one in the north and the other in the south: Yoshida was a native of Sapporo, Hokkaido, while Otaka Kamezo was Kyushu Kuma. Otaka Kamizo has always been proud of himself as a bear: the bear himself has a boastful saying: "The first Japanese soldier in the world, the first Japanese Kyushu soldier, and the first Kyushu Kumamoto soldier." But it is still glad that it has a shrewd Hokkaido chief of staff: this little man is simply a lucky star sent to him by Aunt Amaterasu.

One is "brave and resolute", the other is "resourceful", the two are a perfect match together, and the personal relationship is also very good.

"Odaka-kun, the command still hasn't agreed to our application for aviation support."

"Without those winged guys, we could easily win this war! Saying that we should avoid further expanding the situation, I think the top is frightened by the form of the Songhu battlefield! So many divisions and regiments have been sent to Shanghai but still can't take them, and I think those first-class divisions and regiments are also in vain. ”

"There is news that the current high-level people in Tokyo are talking about the battle situation in Shanghai, where our army has suffered quite heavy losses, and this time the Soviet army is to save some face." There was no one else on the side, and Yoshida and his division commander said that these sensitive topics did not need to be hidden.

"I've heard about that, too. This time, it was Tokyo that did it in order to save some face, and in Shanghai they let the Chinese army drag it down, and the Soviet air force also smashed their proud air force and navy to the ground, and even the aircraft carrier was bombed into a one. All day and night, they are shouting about building a navy, and they have also snatched so much military money from our army. This war still depends on our army, not on the honor guards that only float on the water! "Now that the news of the disastrous defeat of the Japanese ships and air forces in Shanghai has spread in the upper echelons of Japan, although these disgraceful war conditions will not be known to the common people, the senior officers have their own sources of information.

Ogaka Kamezo even gloated somewhat over the defeat of the Navy and Air Force -- it has always been a hardcore army triumphant.

"I just received a report that the vanguard has arrived in Hongyili and is making final preparations before the attack."

"Very good, Yoshida-kun, now is the time to let the top see how powerful our 19th Division is! The cowards of the Kwantung Army did not move, and without them we could still defeat the Soviet army. ”

"Yes, Otakaka-kun. Then I'll go and prepare first. ”

"Let's go."
