Chapter 623-1 Siberia, Crowd Tactics? Elite soldiers
July 2, 1943. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Siberia, Soviet Union.
A detachment of the Northeast Coalition Army marched into Siberia, and the vanguard reached Kansk, which was only fifty kilometers from the Japanese garrison.
Before Chongqing's urging, the Northeast Coalition Army had already pressed the border with a large number of troops, silently, and quietly approached the actual control of the Japanese army in Siberia. During this period of time, the attention of both domestic and foreign countries was attracted by the liberation of Vladivostok, and the actions of other regions were not paid attention to.
The reason why it was silent was to create an opportunity for Zhou Gong, who was in Chongqing, to bargain with the Chongqing government in the United States. The United States wanted to urge the Chinese army to help the Soviet Union. It was not good for the USSR to be strong, and it was even more unfavorable for it to fall. The Soviet Union was destroyed, and Germany and Japan would concentrate on dealing with the United States.
The Chongqing government, on the other hand, is the only one who is looking to the United States. Only when cooperation with the United States is good, will the United States willingly transport the money and materials of the original work to Chongqing. In addition, Chongqing urged the Northeast to send troops, and also asked Yan'an and Japan to fight to the death, their own posture is very high, and they don't pay any price, why not.
Yan'an made a great determination to eat the Japanese army in Siberia of the Soviet Union, and it was a struggle to leave this army for the last to eat. Whether to fight Vladivostok first or Siberia first, because the spring season in Vladivostok is an important factor in the battle, and the battle for the liberation of Vladivostok was advanced.
The victory in Vladivostok created the conditions for the destruction of the Japanese army in Siberia. War is based on the situation, the form is a campaign, and the situation is a strategy. The victory in Vladivostok strategically guaranteed the total annihilation of the Japanese army in the northeast outside the northeast. Yan'an personally commanded, and the Northeast Bureau was the logistics and part of the campaign.
Now, the time is ripe for battle.
After occupying Vladivostok in the spring, the Northeast Coalition did not ostensibly do any major military action against the Japanese army, and there was only a confrontation on the railway line, and the troops kept a certain distance, let alone attacked.
Secretly, the Northeast Coalition Army has a lot of moves. First of all, they moved their troops along the Far Eastern Railway, intensifying their occupation along the railway. In addition, they also occupied a large amount of territory in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, cleared all the Japanese troops, and the army was already approaching Sakhalin.
The most important action is immigration. Since spring, the migration program has been widely disseminated among refugees. The government's conditions for immigrants from the Khing'an Mountains are very favorable, and the government will lend 50 percent more money, and the repayment period will be extended by several years. The most important thing is that the land area is also 50% larger.
Because urban dwellers, workers and peasants are different, this time, the new policy distinguishes between workers, cadres and peasants. The government for the non-agricultural population gives housing as a loan, and the repayment is gradually deducted from the salary.
With the deepening of the work in the enemy war zone, the liberated area, and the national control area, many former miners, mining practitioners, and geological and mining experts have quietly come to the northeast and brought here from the dungeon one after another.
Such good conditions are a huge attraction for those refugees from Henan, and who would not want to come if the peasants can have such a way to survive after the great drought in Henan? In less than two months, a large number of refugees who have temporarily stayed in the northeast to work have signed up to settle in the northeast, and the number has reached 100,000.
Since several cities were occupied, the railways were occupied, and the Japanese army attacking the Soviet Union suddenly felt the situation collapse, and overnight, the situation changed color, as if the game of Go had suddenly collapsed. Originally, his chess game was in shape, but it was broken by the opponent in several places, and the whole big dragon was cut into several sections, and there was no possibility of working alone in each section.
All they can do is gather their strength and avoid being broken by each one. Knowing the actions of the Northeast Coalition Army, their movements were even faster.
After the spring gales, the traffic situation improved, and several large armies entered the area occupied by the Japanese army. At present, the Japanese army ostensibly occupies a vast territory other than Vladivostok and Hailanpao, but in fact, the Japanese army only has a pioneer regiment on the line from Vladivostok to Boli, forest harvesters, mines, and oil fields on Sakhalin. In addition to the vast area, the occupied areas of the Japanese were only distributed along the railways, and the forces were scattered. Outside the railway, after chasing down the Soviets, the Japanese retreated and were unable to occupy it.
The Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition was also deployed in these places, and soon the Japanese army completely lost these lands. In other words, the outer northeast is vast and sparsely populated, and it is easy to occupy but difficult to defend the city.
The remaining units of the Japanese army confronted the Soviet troops on the Western Front. This force has become a lone army, with the Soviet army in front and the Northeast coalition army in the back. The area of the confrontation is the line of the Yeseni River.
Kansk is a small town on the banks of the Kan River, a tributary of the eastern Yenisei River. The Trans-Siberian Railway passes through here. At present, the Northeast Coalition Army is on the east bank of the Kan River, and the Japanese army is on the west bank of the Kan River.
To the west of the Kan River, a few dozen kilometers away is the Yenisei River, and on the west bank of the Yenisei River is the Soviet army. A hundred kilometers to the west of the Soviet army was the German army. After capturing Yekaterinburg, another provisional Soviet capital, in April, the Germans marched straight into the army, intending to join the Japanese.
That's what the trail is busy day and night.
The commander of the troops stationed in the Soviet Union was Zhao Shangzhi, and the deputy commanders were Zhu Chi, Liu Yalou, Lu Zhengcao, Wang Fa, Xie Chengrui, and Qian Jinxin. The general political commissar is Guan Xiangying, and the commander of the Air Force, Liu Yalou, is also the chief of staff. The total strength of the front line was 100,000 men.
Due to the expansion of the size of the troops, Xie Chengrui's directly subordinate tank brigade has been changed into a mechanized column, and the Qian Jinxin artillery brigade has been changed into an artillery column.
This time, the trail pressed all the high-tech troops. Liu Yalou's Air Force is the same.
There are fewer infantry at the front, which is why there are fewer people at the front.
As a matter of fact, there were many troops entering the outer northeast, with more than 100,000 troops deployed in the southwest of Lake Baikal, with Lin Meng and others in charge; as the army penetrated deep into the battlefield, several other troops gradually dispersed along the railway, responsible for public security, transportation, and even production and construction.
Because of the limitation of materials, the Northeast Bureau repeatedly discussed, how many times it was discussed, and the argument was divided into two sides, one side believed that the Japanese army had more than 300,000 troops stationed in Siberia, all of which were the elite soldiers of the original Kwantung Army, not the ragtag army that was eliminated when the Northeast was recovered, so our army had to dispatch at least 600,000 people.
The other side believes that it can only send 80,000 or 90,000 people due to logistical supplies. We were not responsible for the frontal battlefield, but on the flanks with the regular Soviet troops.
The scale of the controversy gradually expanded, and even Yan'an was involved.
The final conclusion was to send elite troops into the Soviet Union and use the best weapons and the most elite troops to cripple the lone Japanese army with the most powerful blows.
The Soviets and Americans were also pulled into the discussion, and in the end, the two sides also agreed to this battle plan. The elite troops of the Northeast Coalition Army entered, and the battle was sharp, and the air force and army cooperated to uproot the guards along the railway line one by one. A few days ago, a big battle defeated tens of thousands of blocking troops.
The Northeast Coalition Army, Air Force, and Artillery fought together, and the Japanese army was defeated and retreated, so it had to carry out strategic contraction, and now it is pressed in a strip several tens of kilometers wide.
The reality of the fighting is constantly on the negotiating table.
The decisive battle is coming.
