On August 22, 1941, at two o'clock in the morning, Hailan bubbled.

The constant and rampant destruction of the class enemy on the Trans-Siberian Railway was constantly coming, and trains often stopped at the station, and it took dozens of hours to leave at a stop. The Soviets along the railway line were already surprised.

No one expected that something big would happen in Blagoveshchensk.

Hailan Bubble, Manchu meaning, Hailan, meaning elm, bubble, for home, that is, the meaning of home under the elm tree. It is also said that Hailan Pao is the transliteration of the Mongolian word Harabo, which means black bubble. That is, the black lake.

The Soviets gave it a name, Blagoveshchensk. Blagoveshchensk means Annunciation, Annunciation.

What's the good news?

It was 1858, when Tsarist Russia forced the Qing government to sign the unequal Sino-Russian Treaty of Aihun. Under the terms of the treaty, the Qing Dynasty ceded about 600,000 square kilometers of land north of the Heilongjiang River. This was a happy event for Tsarist Russia.

The jump was signed, and Tsarist Russia did not gain control of the north of the Heilongjiang River, but only completely occupied both sides of the railway. On July 17, 1900, Tsarist Russia dispatched more than 100,000 troops to massacre the Chinese in Hailan in the name of protecting the road. Until July 21, more than 5,000 Chinese had been killed.

In addition, the Chinese in the Chinese gathering areas north of the railway in Jiangdong 64tun and other places have been killed one after another, and some people have counted that more than 200,000 people have been killed in total. On July 22, the Amur authorities announced that all Chinese had been purged.

Standing in Hailan Pao and looking south, you can only see a few islands in the river on the south side. It's August now, the river is big, and the area of the island is small.

The east side of Hailan Pao is also a river, which is the Jieya River flowing from the north. The Jieya River is very wide and is one of the main tributaries of the Heilongjiang River.

On the east bank of the Jieya River, the land on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River is Jiangdong Sixty-four Tun.

In the evening, two ships sailed towards Pragveshchensk. On the riverside of the city, there are more than a dozen fortresses, large and small, on the upstream side in front of the fortress.

This was supposed to be a wharf, because this was a wartime, and the Japanese army was confronted along the river, therefore, the wharf was in the Jieya River, and it was a river fortification and a fortress.

By 3:30 a.m., the two boats had turned off their engines and followed the current towards the shore of Hailanpao. Getting closer and closer to the shore, and then the faint light showed that the fortress on the shore could already be seen.

Wang Santai on the ship looked at his watch and said, "Anchor and stop the ship, position, and prepare for pre-war mobilization." ”

The two ships leaned together, anchored and stopped.

Wang Santai said: "Brothers, now I am ordered to announce the combat mission: we will attack the fortress on the opposite side, and we must beat all the ammunition on the ship. ”

After glancing at everyone, Wang Santai said, "You heard it right. For all the consequences, I take full responsibility. I will tell you that our ancestors once lived in the opposite city. The city is called Hailan Bubble. Act according to the established plan. Is this clear? ”

A few of the people said, "Clear." ”

Wang Santai said: "Be louder!" ”

Everyone: "Clear. The voice was a little louder, although it was shouted in a suppressed voice, but there was no hesitation and doubt in the voice, and some people even had a trace of expectation in their voices.

Wang Santai said: "Don't doubt that we are acting on orders, not acting privately. Our actions this time will be of great benefit to the anti-Japanese situation in the Northeast and the Far East. You will not be able to write into the history books, but you will be able to change history. You will be heroes! Let's go! ”

Wang Santai's plan for the exercise was to attack the fortresses on the shore in the river and test new weapons. Everyone followed the plan, but the exercise turned into a real battle.

At 3:45, Wang Santai said: "Let's start!" ”

On both ships, tom four times, and the explosive bag dropper dropped it. Then there were four more sounds, and these were large-caliber rockets.

The sound of explosions on the shore came, and the flames of the explosion illuminated the shore, and the river fortifications and fortresses were vividly visible.

Wang Santai saw that out of the eight bullets, two of them hit the fortress. Others hit the ground fortifications. There were people running and howling in the fortress.

At this time, the sound of explosions was also heard from the Japanese positions on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River, and the sound was just as powerful.

The two ships went a short distance down and opened fire again. This time the target was clear, and five of the eight bullets hit.

At this moment, an explosion was heard from the Japanese fortress opposite Heihe.

Of the forty-two people who participated in the sneak attack, only Wang Santai knew the plan, but the others had already guessed the whole plan according to the plan he said, especially when they saw the explosion on the other side of the river, they completely understood the whole plan.

Under the cover of darkness, the two ships opened fire while going down, and walked along Hailan for more than half an hour, and all the ammunition was consumed. Wang Santai issued an order to retreat according to the plan.

At this time, there were 40 explosions in Hailanpao, several fortresses were blown up, several military camps close to the river bank were bombed, and many river defense fortifications were bombed. Several fires burst into the sky, screaming again and again.

The fortress of Heihe on the south bank was also exploding, on a larger scale, with one or two hundred sounds, and the light of fire came from several positions that he did not understand.

Wang Santai looked at his watch, it was already ten o'clock at this time, and the east was already shining.

Wang Santai was a little worried about Lin Tian. The Japanese forts on the other side of the river were extremely widely distributed, and it was difficult to blow them up one by one before dawn, and the plan was to hide in Jiangxin Island and wait until after 6:40 in the evening before the camera left. If there is an aircraft reconnaissance, there is a danger of exposure.

According to the plan, tomorrow night, his small army of more than 40 people will go to the Jieya River to blast the dock and the iron bridge. The purpose was not to blow up the iron bridge, but to injure it.

August 22, 1941, morning, Xinjing, Kwantung Army Headquarters.

It was a sleepless night, it was dawn, and there were situations to deal with.

Umezu took a telegram and asked the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Iimura, "Did our men do the sabotage of the railroad on the territory of the Soviet Union?" ”

Lieutenant General Iimura said: "Sabotage in the territory of the Soviet Union should not have been carried out by our people. ”

Umezu said: "Could it be that the Germans did this?" No. Could it be that these staff officers are going their own way again? ”

Iimura said, "We need to investigate whether it was a secret service that did it." ”

"This is a kind of interference with the plan to move south, and it is very anachronistic. We have just finished the show, and we have already sent a clear signal to the Soviet Union. We secretly let the Soviet observers see us move our troops away, and we relaxed the pressure on the Soviet spies, who should have received our signal and knew what we were conveying. But this sabotage, the Soviet Union will misunderstand us. ”

Iimura said, "Not bad. However, the Soviet Union was tense on the Western Front, and the German army entered the border, and the Soviet people, who had been oppressed by Stalin, warmly welcomed the German army. Stalin had a difficult time dealing with the Germans and did not have the energy to deal with us. Therefore, as long as we do not take the initiative to attack, the Soviet Union will not take the initiative to attack us. ”

Umezu said: "When we took office, it was not easy to correct the problems of the Kwantung Army, will these staff officers continue to carry out actions similar to the Battle of Nomenkan?" ”

Iimura said: "Do you need to make a news that the German army went deep into the Soviet Union and carried out sabotage? ”

Umezu said, "Keep silent. Make a sound, and people will doubt us. Write a report on what we think of German sabotage in the rear of the USSR and send it back to Tokyo. Maybe there were Soviet spies in Tokyo who sent the news back to the Soviet Union. ”

When Umezu Mijiro became commander of the Kwantung Army on September 7, 1939, he was only a lieutenant general, not the commander of the Kwantung Army, which could only be appointed by the most senior general. He also served as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Manchuria. Therefore, Umezu was grateful, and told the emperor and the military department, "In the future, I will repay the emperor's favor even more." ”

A year later, in August 1940, he was promoted to general.

Umezu, as commander of the Kwantung Army, had two main tasks. The first is to rebuild and strengthen the Kwantung Army, which has suffered great losses since the Nomenkan incident and must be replenished in terms of manpower and material resources; The second was to speed up combat preparations against Japan's old enemy, the Soviet Union.

Umezu's political record can be described as remarkable. One is that many forts have been built in Northeast China, and many railways have become safer. Second, he cooperated with the Manchurian Railway to build a strategic railway from Sinkyo to Pyongyang. This brought Manchuria and Japan closer together.

It should be noted that in December 1940, Umezu signed a secret order for the creation of the four detachments of Unit 731 and the relevant stations. That is, he greatly expanded the bacteriological troops.

In the summer, on June 22, the Soviet-German war broke out, and Japan was greatly affected and encouraged, and a joint meeting of the headquarters and the government was held one after another to discuss the issue of war against the Soviet Union.

The Kwantung Army also began to discuss, because if there was a war, the Kwantung Army would inevitably be in the forefront.

Umezu personally believes that the Soviet-German war, the Soviet Union has become a real enemy of Japan, and Japan should give priority to solving the northern problem, and then solve the southern problem.

However, in order not to clash with the base camp, he suggested that the wording should go around in circles, and in the "Development of the Situation and the Outline of the Imperial National Policy", he pointed out that "the empire should devote itself to resolving the problem of the war between Japan and China, and solve the northern problem according to the changes in the situation."

The so-called Northern problem is the Soviet problem.

The outline was approved by the Imperial Council on 2 July. In preparation for the solution of the northern problem, the army carried out an unprecedented mobilization and concentration, and called this operation the "Kwantung Army Special Exercise", or "Guan Special Exercise" for short.

If Germany ends the war in the USSR in a month or two, then the Kwantung Army does not mind taking the initiative to send troops and picking them when the persimmons are ripe.

Umezu deeply understood the intentions of the upper echelons, and he just made the exercises realistic to the satisfaction of the base camp.

Umezu was the specific commander of the special exercise, and in addition to mobilizing the Kwantung Army and the North Korean Dispatch Army, he also mobilized troops stationed in the interior. The strength of the Kwantung Army has doubled, and although the order has been stopped in recent days, there are still troops arriving, and it has reached 850,000 people.

The opportunistic psychology of the base camp was very strong, and the armed action against the Soviet Union was determined to start after the reduction of the Soviet troops in the Far East, that is, the Soviet troops in the Far East moved west to participate in the Soviet-German war, and the German offensive went smoothly, and after the Far East was empty, it began to attack the Soviet Far East.

The most desirable outcome would be to end the war in the Soviet Far East within two or three months and continue its southward advance.

However, for a long time, the number of Soviet troops in the Far East was very small, and the base camp was afraid that it would not be able to complete the operation before the arrival of the severe winter cold, so on August 9 it abandoned its attempt to solve the Soviet problem within the year.

During the Seki special performance, Umezu made an adaptation of the Kwantung Army. The programme is also being studied for the establishment of the 1st and 2nd Fronts. Prepared by Yamashita Fumimi and Anami Yui Commander of the 1st Front and 2nd Front.

It was planned that the First Front of the Kwantung Army would be distributed in the Mudanjiang area, and the Second Front would be located in the north.

While Umezu was discussing with Iimura, a staff officer hurriedly ran in and said, "Report: The Soviet army has launched an attack on our Heihe fortress, Aihui Fortress. In addition, the barracks of the battery positions were also blown up! ”

Iimura didn't wait for Umezu to speak, and said angrily: "What are you staff officers doing!" Can't even do intelligence analysis! "The staff officer is his subordinate, how can he report such absurd information directly! How could the USSR take the initiative to attack the Imperial Army when a large number of troops were transferred!

Umezu's first feeling was the same, but looking at the staff officer's reaction and expression, a trace of bad feeling suddenly passed through his heart, and then, he suddenly realized something, his face turned white, he was sweating profusely, his body was weak, and he sat down in a chair: the hateful warlord of the Changzhou Domain! Do they have to sabotage the emperor's plans to go south!

******

1. Historically, after Umezu became commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, one of his great contributions was to make the Kwantung Army less confrontational with his superiors, and in the Kwantung Army, all the forces of the old warlords were eliminated and replaced by people loyal to the Japanese emperor. Without worries, the base camp of the Japanese army could concentrate on the strategy of advancing southward. In other words, the Kwantung Army was finally placed under the absolute control of the Emperor, and the Emperor's dream of moving south to seize the resources of the oil islands could be carried out without any scruples. The islands of the South Seas are more attractive to the emperor of Japan, an island nation, than the frozen mainland in the north.

2. Now, in the Japanese political arena, the young Zhuang soldiers supported by the emperor after he came to power are in power. When Emperor Showa was still the crown prince of Hirohito, Aritomo Yamagu, the head of the warlords of the Nagasu Domain, was a powerful presence for him. Later, in the spring of 1921, the prince went to Europe and took the opportunity to meet with some young officers and cultivate cronies. In October, a group of young Japanese military attachés sent to Europe held a secret meeting at the spa resort of Baden-Baden in Hessian Castle, Germany, where three officers with the rank of junior at the time freely discussed their superiors and the future of the country. The three are Tetsuyama Nagata, Toshiro Koden and Ninji Okamura. In fact, there was another person who attended this meeting, his name was Hideki Tojo, and he could only be in charge of keeping watch at the door. The three men who attended the meeting selected seven more from all the Japanese military attachés in Europe, a total of 11 people, and formed the so-called "Baden-Baden Group": Roving Military Attaché: Nagata Tetsuyama, Military Attache in Moscow: Toshiro Koden, Military Attache in Switzerland: Hideki Tojo, Traveling Military Attaché: Okamura Ninji, Military Attache in Berlin: Umezu Mijiro, Military Attache in Berne: Yamashita Fumi, Military Attache in Copenhagen: Kotaro Nakamura, Military Attache in Paris: Imasago Nakajima, Military Attache in Cologne: Shimomura Ding, Military Attache in Beijing: Matsui Ishone, Ryosuke Isoya. The Baden-Baden Conference was given a high status by the Japanese in modern Japanese history, and the above 11 people became confidants of the emperor, and most of them became important figures in military and political circles, and were the backbone of Japan's war, and October 27, 1921, is regarded as the birth date of the Showa warlords.

Note that Ishihara and the like are not among them, he is not a confidant of the emperor. This is the fundamental reason why Ishihara has not been able to enter the core of Japanese power since then.
