Chapter 207: Windfall
Lin Jun did not immediately go to the headquarters this time, and stayed in the interrogation room for another half an hour: if there is not the latest battle situation, Tukhachevsky will not be dissatisfied. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After letting the guards take Guo Sov away, the next thing is to greet the gang of brutes of 731.
"Now you all understand what kind of beast unit Unit 731 is, and you have to use the beast's methods to take out your housekeeping skills and learn as much as you can about the situation. If you don't talk or talk nonsense, imagine how these brutes would treat those who were used as test subjects, even if we didn't capture these bastards at all. ”
Before starting, Lin Jun gave this order to the people around him to deal with the beast, and his subordinates seemed to have used their imagination very well, dealing with the 731 officers who were brought up was like dealing with an enemy with a deep hatred of blood.
For half an hour, the Japanese soldier Shaozuo opposite Lin Jun kept screaming, and Lin Jun enjoyed this feeling very much. In order to squeeze out more things, Lin Jun also called a few surgeons from the field hospital, so as not to kill people too quickly.
After half an hour, the Japanese army couldn't stand it, and Lin Jun got what he wanted: the Japanese still signed with blood before setting off that they must not reveal any secrets, but they still collapsed under a series of characteristic tortures of skinning, cutting flesh, and chopping fingers.
"You seem to have forgotten a trick, and if you face a more stubborn and ferocious beast, you can castrate it! Remember, it is not men at all before you, but brutes who are savage to the extreme, more beasts than beasts! ”
Before leaving, Lin Jun patted the military doctor comrade with a somewhat pale face: "Good job, you will stay here today to cooperate with the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and try to keep those brutes awake." ”
Returning to Tukhachevsky's command with a red face, it turned out that the comrades were there, and something important must have happened.
"Congratulations, Comrade Andrei, commander of the 2nd class army!" Tukhachevsky, who came up, congratulated Lin Jun: A telegram from Moscow promoted Lin Jun to the rank of commander of the second-class army, and this was only one of the contents of the telegram.
"Thank you for everything you have done for me, the Central Committee has made a resolution to restore all my honors and marshal ranks."
It seems that this is a happy situation.
"The telegram says that your new uniform will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest, Andrey, sooner or later you will be Marshal of the Red Army!"
The words of Comrade Marshal made Lin Jun yearn for a little, but there was also a hint of dream-like feeling: from a mechanic in Chukotka to a lieutenant in Zhukov, he became a commander of an army group between a general and a general in five years, and the speed of promotion in military ranks is estimated to have set a Soviet record.
The telegram also informed the contents of the Soviet-Japanese armistice talks in Moscow, and that Japan had made it clear that it would stop the military conflict in the Haraha River region, and it seemed that the Japanese emperor had already knocked out his teeth and swallowed in his stomach.
In fact, as Lin Jun expected, the Kwantung Army formulated an operational plan to try to redeem the defeat two days ago, and gathered a large number of support troops, including: the 1st, 2nd, and 4th divisions and the 3rd independent garrison (brigade and regiment level); All rapid-fire guns (48 guns) belonging to the 3rd and 4th armies, the 1st Independent Mountain Artillery Wing (58 guns), 2 anti-aircraft artillery wings (72 guns), the 4th and 9th Field Heavy Artillery Wings (48 guns); 5th Tank Wing of the 1st Tank Division (40 Type 89 tanks); the 3rd Cavalry Wing (3,000 cavalry and 24 armored vehicles); 6th, 9th, 59th Flying Squadrons (100 combat aircraft); 36 separate squadrons of sappers equipped with 1 flamethrower; 21 squadrons of automatic vehicles (automobiles) (840 vehicles).
These were already the limits of what the Kwantung Army could draw out of its troops, and the Japanese General Staff Headquarters also planned to transfer the 5th Division from North China to Normenhan, and mobilized 25 military station automobile squadrons (1,000 trucks), 15 field antiaircraft artillery units, and 4 fighters, and at the same time made preparations for continuing to transfer the 14th Division and two heavy artillery wings from North China to the north to support, so as to enhance the striking force of the Kwantung Army!
In six days, 50,000 imperial troops were shattered in the Haraha River, and the two divisions were wiped out, which was the first time that the Japanese army suffered such a heavy defeat since the Russo-Japanese War. The Japanese army only lost 10,000 people in Taierzhuang, and the 50,000 people of the Kwantung Army were gone in less than a week.
But the wishful revenge plan of the General Staff Headquarters and the Kwantung Army was put on hold after the envoy in Tokyo listened in detail to the reports of the first remnants of the defeated army who escaped from the encirclement of the Soviet army: the Japanese generals could not imagine what kind of army they were facing!
The remnants of the 1st Tank Division, who went to Hailar to report on the battle, described the situation of the tank battle, the Japanese tanks were not able to cause any damage to the Soviet tanks at all, and the Soviet tanks could not only smash their own tanks with one shot, but even didn't care about their own armor-piercing shells, and rushed straight over and crushed the precious Type 89 medium tanks with tracks!
The Japanese troops who came back sporadically from the night raid reported that the Soviet army had many tanks like a mountain and fields, and that their rapid-fire guns could not penetrate the armor at all, and the number of behemoth-like tanks was at least 300 or more, and the number of Soviet tanks that had mastered the model was even more than this!
In addition to tanks, the Soviet artillery and aviation forces were far superior to their own forces, and the shelling was as dense as hail, and the fighter pilots reported that the Soviet army's new fighters were not capable of competing with their own fighters, and their own side was at a clear disadvantage in terms of speed and firepower.
At this time, the Japanese embassy in Moscow also sent a secret telegram to the Japanese base camp: the Kremlin sent the 1st Independent Mechanized Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, and initially attacked the division with more than 300 independent tanks and about 300 large-caliber artillery.
Although the telegram from Moscow had only a simple quantitative indication and no specific model performance, it had already surprised the Japanese base camp: the heavy equipment of a mechanized division was not something that the original support force could compete, let alone the tanks that were too terrible to destroy.
The Japanese army, which received the information of the Soviet army, would not know that the information was deliberately "leaked" to the Japanese embassy, and Lin Jun and Stalin wanted such an effect.
Not only is it a matter of quantity, but the envoy of the base camp concluded after synthesizing the reports of the officers and soldiers who fled back: the loss of 50,000 people on his side only allowed the Soviet army to lose 5,000 people at most!
The 10-to-1 loss ratio, combined with the results of the conflict that occurred at Lake Hassan the year before, made the Japanese army base camp clearly understand that the current Soviet Red Army is no longer the Tsarist Russian army of the past, and the Soviet Union's huge resource advantage has given the Soviet army an unparalleled equipment advantage -- the Soviet Union does not have to worry about the lack of resources for producing equipment at all!
Resource! The painful summary report made the base camp of the Japanese army seem to understand a truth: In a contest with a country with rich resources and developed industries, it is impossible to win a war without resources, and Japan's own resources are pitifully small, and even fuel is basically imported, without resources there is not enough technical equipment, and without technical equipment soldiers become cannon fodder!
The Japanese seem to have found the problem, it is no longer feasible to rely on bayonet assault to compete with Soviet Russia, and the soldiers are also cannon fodder! If Lin Jun knew the idea of the Japanese army base camp now, he would definitely look up to the sky and laugh - the "northward advance" would not work, and if no action was taken, the gap would only get bigger and bigger! Resource! Resource! As a result, China is considered a "resource-poor country" by Japan other than coal, and its only choice is to look south!
I don't know if Roosevelt, who is now in the White House, is a little eyelid-jumping, but it is undeniable that Japan's attention has been firmly turned to the south in just a few days after this battle.
But how can you find yourself a step down, otherwise where is the face of the Japanese army?!
The base camp seemed to have found an interface for itself to explain to the emperor: the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs of the USSR informed the Japanese embassy that Prince Morihou Higashikunomiya was being wounded in a Soviet field hospital.
A reason that is not a reason gave the Japanese base camp the last fig leaf of the armistice.
And at this time, there was also a headache for the leaders of the Kwantung Army in the Kwantung Army headquarters: the bacteriological warfare unit did not return to the place of departure on time and disappeared!
The only explanation for the failure of the 731 officers and men is that the secret attack failed, and the Soviets now have the evidence that they are waging bacteriological warfare - people don't speak, but those equipment can talk!
The Japanese army launched bacteriological warfare, once this matter was made public to the world, the result was not under the control of the Kwantung Army itself, and during this period of time, the Kremlin acted unusually high-profile, and almost all the results of the battle were trumpeted, if the secret troops fell into the hands of the Soviet army, it may soon become known to the world, so that Japan will be in a very disadvantageous position in the world!
At noon the next day, not long after Lin Jun, who had gone to inspect and interrogate, returned to the headquarters, a telegram from Moscow arrived: blockade the news of the Japanese army's bacteriological warfare and escort the Japanese prince back to Moscow.
"Little Japan has finally tasted the slaughter of others! This is politics, the weak can only give in! (To be continued.) )
