Chapter 183: Slaughtering Yourself Is Not Enough

If you want to put on a posture, then simply put on an aggressive posture: all the main forces of the Kyiv Special Military District began to mobilize for combat readiness on the night of the 15th, under the arrangement of the first deputy People's Commissar of Defense and commander of the Kyiv Special Military District, Ivan Federovich Fediko, and the front-line troops began to assemble on the Kamenets-Podolysk-Proskulov-Shepetovka front.

On the morning of the 16th, all roads leading to the border with Western Ukraine were occupied by military vehicles and tanks, and the Soviet Red Army had a great deal to take the position of Western Ukraine, which was occupied by the landlord bourgeois Poland! The wheels are rolling, and the smoke and dust are all the way.

Sing a big drama then sing the whole set: Stalin thought that it was not enough for the Kiev Special Military District to move, and at the suggestion of Lin Jun, the Belarusian Special Military District and the Odessa Special Military District were also issued a combat readiness ****** at noon on the 16th.

Minsk is only 20 kilometers away from the border, and for a time the Soviet side of the border is tense, and the black holes of the artillery units are all pointing to West Belarus, and Malinovsky is commanding the 11th Army, which has just been formed for just over a month, to rush to the Slutsk-Kopatkevich line.

Like Malinovsky's 11th Army, all the newly formed new-style armies in the three major military regions also took part in this military deployment -- Stalin heeded Lin Jun's latest advice and regarded military pressure as a large-scale training of the new-style army group.

Apart from actual combat, there has never been such an exercise that can test the troops' coordination capability as it does now, and many problems can be reflected and resolved. Why not show your military presence and get the opportunity to train your troops at the same time?!

Since the Red Army began its large-scale mechanized transformation more than a decade ago, and now it has conducted some military exercises at the military region level, there has never been a time when it has been so close to actual combat deployment as it is now. 1938 was no longer the operational environment of the Civil War, and this was also a large-scale review of the Red Army's mechanization construction.

The Red Army here made a vigorous stance, but the international community did not cause much reaction at first, because they did not know it yet! On the contrary, the troops marching all the way to the west were warmly welcomed by the common people along the road -- although they did not know what the real purpose of the troops passing by the door was, but looking at the posture of retaking the Soviet territory occupied by the bourgeois state in 1921, many of the ordinary people in this area had moved from Western Belarus in 1921, thinking that one day the Red Army would be able to fight back to their homeland and retake the land occupied by Poland.

On the morning of the 17th, Malinovsky was on his way to Slutsk by car, and he set his headquarters in this small town, less than 50 kilometers from the border.

The road leading to the town was really not good, and the comrade commander of the group army who was sitting in the Guise off-road vehicle was not only a little dizzy from the shaking of the potholed road, but also angry in his heart -- his car had been driving for four hours since five o'clock in the morning, but it had only advanced less than 80 kilometers! The roads were jammed with tanks and military vehicles, and there were infantry marching in formations, and I don't know how many times they were blocked along the way.

What annoyed him the most was that these messy military vehicles and tanks belonged to the 11th Army, which made him, a commander, suffocate his belly.

The time for the formation of the troops was too short, and there were still some problems in the coordination between the various services, and the embarrassing situation was normal, but fortunately there was no confusion, and all the troops still marched according to the predetermined objectives, but it seemed that they could not arrive on time according to the orders they had given.

At every intersection leading to villages, towns and collective farms, there are **** teams, and the members are lining up the fruits and bread produced in their farms on the shelves, and the iron buckets on the side are full of brown sugar water, and even the tea jars for drinking water are placed in a row. From time to time, a thirsty infantry soldier would take a teapot and scoop a cup and take a few sips, while the members of the club on the side quickly stuffed two apples into the soldier's arms.

Since yesterday, when they saw a large number of troops heading for the border, the local authorities spontaneously mobilized and set up positions on both sides of the highway with farms and communities as units, which made the troops marching in a hurry like a shot in the arm and rushed to the border with all their strength.

However, the problem was that the road became more and more crowded, and Malinovsky had to ask the signal corps to inform the commanders of the regiments to pay attention to the marching sequence of the troops, and let the tanks and mechanized troops go first, which made the congested roads appear slightly orderly.

"The people are the foundation of the army. If we are fish, then the people are water. Malinovsky remembered a phrase that Comrade Andrei often mentioned, but this time he felt that he was going to disappoint Comrade Andrei: the march of his troops alone would not satisfy Comrade Andrei, who had placed high hopes on him.

Even more disappointed will be the enthusiastic people at the crossroads: as a senior commander, Malinovsky already knows that this military operation is a deterrent "show" and that it is not yet time to recover Western Belarus and Western Ukraine. But the decision of the Central Committee also made it clear to him that the Soviets had made up their minds to regain the usurped lands, and that they would do so soon.

Lin Jun, who was in Moscow, would not blame Malinovsky, who was hurrying, for commanding the troops unfavorably, he had no time to care about the marching conditions of the troops in front, and besides, how else could you expect an army group that had only been formed for more than a month to advance and retreat in an orderly manner like an old army? It takes time.

Except for the comrades of the National Defense Committee, who are concerned about the deployment of troops, the other bigwigs in Moscow are more focused on "political warfare" -- the big drama in which Chamberlain is the first protagonist is being staged in the west, and Moscow will also have to "applaud" the plot of the big drama.

Chamberlain flew back to London on the 16th, and on that day the world had noticed what was happening in Germany, and the news began to spread - it was not a secret to Britain, France and Germany.

"******, betraying allies is still justified, I've never seen such a shameless government, damn the British!"

This is a classic "national scolding" that Lin Jun said when chatting with Andlupf, fortunately, the people around him have become accustomed to the usually gentle and elegant Lin Jun, who is sometimes cold and out of line, and loses his identity.

On the morning of the 17th, Molotov met with the Czechoslovak ambassador to the Soviet Union and handed over an official diplomatic document stating that the Soviet Union would react strongly as the Czechoslovak government sent a request for assistance.

Prior to the meeting, Pravda had already published on the first page the official attitude of the Supreme Presidium of the Soviet Union on the Czechoslovak question, and the article had been prepared the night before.

During the meeting, Molotov also made it clear to the ambassador that at present the Soviet Red Army had nearly 50 divisions massed on the western border, and if necessary, it would fight all the way to Czechoslovakia.

Yes, Molotov used words like "kill the past", which made the ambassador frightened: he already knew the danger of his country - Germany, Poland and Hungary on the border had already put a butcher's knife on his neck, and it was the ungrateful France and Britain who helped to hold the knife to cut it, and if the Soviet Union here intervened again, poor Czechoslovakia would not be enough to sell himself!

When Molotov reported to Stalin on the reaction of the Czechoslovak ambassador, Lin Jun was also there, and Stalin was very satisfied with the results achieved: "Comrade Molotov, the next one should be Poland." ā€

The meeting with the Polish ambassador had to be postponed for a while, because the German ambassador had come again: Hitler wanted the Soviet Union to sit on the sidelines, and of course he tactfully expressed his understanding of the Soviet Union's reasonable response to the current situation, and said that Germany would compromise on some fronts.

The Germans are fast enough!

Before dinner, Molotov met with the Polish ambassador, and the Poles accepted Molotov's diplomatic note with a blank face, which clearly stated that the Soviet Red Army wished to enter Czechoslovakia through Poland "peacefully and amicably" if necessary.

The ambassador tactfully stated that this was basically impossible, and handed over an official letter to Molotov - the Polish troops guarding the border for the past two days could be said to be fearful, because the black hole on the other side of the border could be seen through the telescope. Although it is not known how many troops the Soviets mobilized, it can be known from the Pravda article that the Soviets are pressing the border with a large army this time, and Poland strongly protests against this!

"Andrey, it seems that as you say, the Czechoslovakians will not seek our help even if they are dead."

"Comrade Stalin, when I was in China, I learned an old proverb that can be applied to the current British, French and Czechoslovakia."

"Oh, what's the old saying?"

"Heaven is evil, it is still violated; and thou shalt not live. ā€

"Huh! Very incisive! Stalin carefully understood the classic warnings translated by Lin Jun, and only after understanding the semantics did he smile knowingly.

"Just wait, the intelligence says that Chamberlain is holding a meeting of their cabinet, and it is estimated that they will soon be in Germany, and the French are already moving. The best part of this opera to the west is yet to come. Andrey, there's a lot to learn from it. ā€

"Yes, Comrade Stalin." (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
