Chapter 199: Render to God what is God's, and to Caesar what is Caesar's
The surprise attack of the Japanese Second Air Force failed, and the Kwantung Army Command not only had to bear the responsibility for the defeat of the battle, but what made the Japanese base camp even more angry was that a self-contained and arrogant Kwantung Army played itself: Arisuenakasa, who arrived in Shinjing, heard the news of the fiasco, which made it, the special liaison officer who came to stop the cross-border air raid, become the first "monkey" in the military circles!
Unlike the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army in Xinjing, who was busy reporting the reasons for the defeat to Tokyo, Moscow, Ulaanbaatar, and Tamchagbulak were all jubilant for several days in a row, and the air battle on the morning of the 28th once again showed that the Soviet Air Force was invincible! And for the Soviet top brass and Stalin, the victory on the 28th did not simply mean victory, because this victory was entirely due to Lin Jun, who was still on the train.

From the report on the specific combat situation, everyone can see that if it were not for the telegram at midnight on the 27th, the Soviet airfield in the Haraha River battle area would very likely have been devastated, and the replenishment of new aircraft, supplies, and the repair of the airfield would have kept our troops in a passive position to be bombed for a long time. And now it is the Japanese who are in a passive position: the front has never been so quiet, and it is clear that the Japanese do not want to make a move until the reinforcements arrive for the time being.
If the Japanese did not move, Tukhachevsky on this side would not wait, and sent bombers to attack Japanese targets on a small scale for two consecutive days, delaying the speed of the Japanese army's ground build-up. The Soviet troops had basically arrived at their combat positions, and Tukhachevsky had two detailed battle plans, with the goal of annihilating tens of thousands of Japanese troops gathered on the opposite side. However, he had to temporarily postpone the launch of the campaign, relying on planes and heavy artillery every day to make the Japanese on the opposite side uneasy.
There are three reasons for this: First, intelligence shows that the Japanese have sent their only tank division, but according to aerial reconnaissance, there has not yet been a large Japanese armored force in shallow depth, and apparently the mechanized tank division has not yet reached the assembly area. Tukhachevsky, whose primary purpose was to annihilate the Japanese army in the war, could not wait to start eating before the dishes were served, and since he had a good appetite for this feast, he had to wait for the big dishes to be served before eating, lest the host would not even dare to serve the main course when he saw that the guests' appetite was too good.
Secondly, the First Mechanized Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which had been running for almost 7,000 kilometers for a long distance, was still on the road, and dozens of military columns loaded with all the equipment, supplies, and personnel of the division were on the road under the stars and nights. Although Tukhachevsky did not intend to put the "Prince's" guards on the front line, at present, it is necessary to wait for this "guard of honor" with terrifying combat effectiveness to arrive in the theater of operations before starting the general offensive, otherwise not only will the first division make this long-distance attack with huge consumption futile, but will also cause dissatisfaction in the Kremlin.
It is taboo to delay the fighter plane in order to wait for the reinforcements, but since the big dishes have not yet been served, the guests should of course wait for the last guest to arrive.
Finally, until Lin Jun arrives at his headquarters, Tukhachevsky will not give the order for a general attack. The two sets of battle plans need to be chosen by real "Kremlin representatives", although there is no such obligation, and their rights clearly stipulate that they can decide on the whole. Starting from personal feelings, Tukhachevsky must Lin Jun catch up with this feast in front of him, and he must wait for Lin Jun to arrive!
After the first joy, the commanders in Moscow calmed down and thought about it, and then analyzed why Lin Jun was able to "guess" the large-scale air raid of the Japanese army, all thanks to his understanding and in-depth analysis of the opponent in the east. In addition to Marshal Blyukhel in Khabarovsk, Lin Jun should be the most knowledgeable among the senior Soviet officers and the person who has fought the most with the current Japanese army.
At noon on the 28th, Stalin, who had received the report, drank half a bottle of wine during the lunch and said loudly to Kalinin, who was eating with him: "Genius commander, we will award him another medal!" ”
Kalinin fully agreed with Stalin's words, and decided to wait for Lin Jun's triumph to award him a "Order of the Red Banner" again, in Kalinin's words: "Comrade Andrei will become the first commander in the history of the Soviet Union to be awarded a medal for an order issued 3,000 kilometers from the theater of operations." ”
However, it was not all laughter and celebration, and some problems could also be seen from the heavy damage to the opponent this time: the front-line air force still had some fatal weaknesses in defending the enemy, and the problem of air surveillance lurked the threat of defeat. However, the air combat effect of the old fighters in the hands of ordinary pilots was basically weaker than that of the Japanese pilots who flew fighters with similar performance, and the training of some front-line air force units was still insufficient, and most of the results in the air battle on the 28th came from the old birds who came back from Spain.
Strengthen the daily training of the air force units and try to get as close to the actual combat state as possible; The establishment of an effective system of air surveillance and communications throughout the armed forces - all this was put on the agenda, and Stalin gave Voroshinov direct attention to the development and production of secret weapons radars.
、、、、、、
On the afternoon of the 29th, as soon as the train passed the city of Slyudyanka in Irkutsk Oblast, Lin Jun and everyone on the train unconsciously surrendered their eyes to the left side of the carriage - the endless Lake Baikal was in front of them!
"It'll be with us until nightfall."
"Zhukov, you've been here before?"
"I've had a few trips, and I've fished on the lake."
"It's a pity that I don't have time this time, or I really want to stay by the lake for a few days and enjoy it. I've always wondered when I'll be able to see Lake Baikal, but I didn't expect to see it but I didn't have to stop. What a beautiful lake! ”
"It's also a magical lake, even with seals."
"There are also sharks and conchs, it is estimated that no one will be able to figure out the secrets in a few thousand years, there are too many secrets and magical places!"
Looking out the window at the lake and feeling the fresh lake breeze blowing through the car window, Lin Jun temporarily put aside the shadow of the war.
Zhukov did not disturb Lin Jun's "poetic feelings", and this period of contact had already made him begin to understand the deputy People's Commissar of National Defense in front of him, and the "butcher and executioner" in the eyes of some people.
"Knowing how to live and war, a special person." This is Zhukov's opinion on Lin Jun. Zhukov on the stretcher when he was trapped in the West Sayan Ridge could still hear Lin Jun, who was carrying him, praise the magnificence of nature, and at the same time dig worms in the dead wood in order to have a full stomach. I have always heard of his heroic behavior in battle: not only did he have the excellent qualities of a commander, but he was also able to go into battle with a bayonet at a critical moment, no less than any combat hero during the civil war. When I was in China, the officers who worked with Andrei, whether Soviet or Chinese, would say when they talked about General Andrei: "Amazing soldiers!" ”
That is, such a soldier, when he can relax, will let himself enjoy more than a bourgeois capitalist.
Both of them were silent in their own artistic conception, and only the sound of wheels and rails colliding could be heard. Suddenly, Lin Jun turned around and shouted outside the box door: "Alyosha!" ”
In just a few seconds, the mountain-like body had blocked the door tightly: "Here, Comrade Andrei." ”
"Go and ask the dining car, what do we eat at night?"
This military train is a little special, unlike other military trains that all eat at specific supply stations (military train transfers are generally lined up on the platforms of specific stations along the way, and our PLA recruit comrades should remember this scene vividly 30 years ago.) Or simply nibble on dry food, because there is a special dining car, and the whole crew can eat delicious hot meals at the point, which is all thanks to Lin Jun.
"Yes, Comrade Andrei."
"When I got off the train in Slyudyanka, I saw some station personnel moving things to the dining car, which is probably a Baikal specialty." Zhukov said.
Just now I was thinking that Comrade Andrei was a person who would enjoy it, but I didn't expect that this would be "completely revealed", and Zhukov could be regarded as convinced: now he is on the military train rushing to the war zone!
"If you don't taste some of the specialties on Lake Baikal, it's a bit embarrassing, hehe."
Lin Jun is not a little "conscious" at all.
"The train itinerary says that in two hours we will replenish water at a small station, which is right next to the lake, and we will stop for about half an hour, and then we will walk around the lake."
"Half an hour? Enough for a swim! Of course Lin Jun is joking, this is really inappropriate to swim around the lake.
Alyosha came back in a while, "Comrade Andrei, I asked clearly. ”
"What is it?"
Seeing Alyosha's "happy smile" on his face, he knew that he must have seen something good that made him appetite.
"The main dish is white bread, the main dish is the special stewed seal meat, and there are Baikal specialties, salt-grilled Omur fish, steamed lobster, boiled conch, and the soup is shark soup." Alyosha directly reported the name of the dish.
"Haha, we're here for a seafood dinner in the center of Eurasia!" Lin Jun also deliberately said that "seafood" was earth-shattering.
"By the way, Comrade Andrey, the chef said that there is salmon or something, and if you make it at supper, it will be a similar recipe tomorrow. They also specifically said that because it was still a hunting ban, the seal meat was frozen last winter, and the rest was fresh, just shipped from fishing boats and markets. ”
"Why are you still standing here, to tell your brothers with a big appetite."
"Yes, Comrade Andrei."
Alyosha left the door with a smile on his face, and soon there was a discussion in the aisle about how rich today's dinner was, and the loudest except Alyosha was the one who had been living with beef for several days.
"Zhukov, I didn't expect the local comrades to prepare so richly, you can't eat such good things in Moscow in general, and today you have to eat a big meal with your stomach."
"Because you're the Deputy People's Commissar of Defense!" Zhukov had such a thought in his mind, of course, he would not say it, but thought of another point: Comrade Andrei hated the specialization of the localities, and a bad meal could eat a bunch of heads! We must not let the enthusiasm of local comrades turn into an old Chinese saying "Hongmen feast"!
"In fact, the average passenger train passing through this line will supply almost the same Baikal special aquatic products, these things are not expensive in the market here, for example, there are some varieties of salmon here that are not migratory, and they are available on the table of ordinary people all year round, which is cheaper than fish in the Moscow market. Omur fish are even more delicious here, each one is not big, but it grows for 10 years, and it can be bought all year round. Generally, it is soaked in salt, without adding any other condiments, roasted over a fire, and the skin is gently peeled off after eating. ”
"Zhukov, it seems that you have studied the specialties here."
"After eating it a few times, I remembered that it was delicious, you can't eat such a good thing in Moscow, and it's cheap. However, the lobster and conch are not available every day, and the locals have to rely on luck to run into them when they go to the market, and it seems that we are lucky. It will be a while before the hunt begins, so we will only have to taste the taste of frozen seal meat. ”
"It's a beautiful lake, it's a gift from nature, and we have to find ways to protect it in the future. In particular, the protection of animal and plant resources and the restrictions of industry, after returning to Moscow, I will propose to the Central Committee a new protection law for the environment. Our natural resources are the largest in the world, and too many resources are waiting for us to use, which is easy to cause irreversible damage to the environment and waste of resources. This is like the son of a rich man, Lao Tzu prepared a huge family business for him, but it is easier to lose than the children and grandchildren of a small family. ”
Lin Jun's words made Zhukov on the other side "see" the demeanor of a "future helmsman", and the current Soviets should think most about how to develop the vast Siberia, and environmental protection is a matter for Moscow. But thinking about the ****** the United States and Ukraine now, Zhukov understands that Lin Jun's words are reasonable.
"Render to God what is God's, and Caesar's to Caesar's. We have to learn how to live in harmony with nature, and we can't just think about what we get from nature, it has given us enough. ”
The wind was not strong, but Lin Jun couldn't really swim in the lake, and the vast Baikal white waves were monstrous. Lin Jun, who was standing on the shore of the lake, had the illusion of standing in front of the vast sea.
