October 25, 1941. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoVladivostok.

While Koji and Constanta were working on the battle plan, the situation in Vladivostok changed.

The Japanese concentrated all their forces and stormed Vladivostok.

The reason why the Japanese army adopted the tactic of attacking at all costs was very difficult. The reason is that it is a two-front operation.

The Japanese army is now actively preparing for operations on the southern front, and has already transferred some troops from southern China and eastern China to the South Seas. Originally, the base camp was going to transfer several first-class divisions in the Kwantung Army to the South Seas, but these elite divisions were either on the Baikal line or besieging Vladivostok. It is true that now is not the time to redeploy troops.

As a result, the Japanese base camp demanded that they settle Vladivostok within ten days and quickly stabilize the Far East.

In order to stabilize the Far East, the Japanese army needed to occupy not only Vladivostok, but also to build a defensive line west of Lake Baikal and gather forces to prevent a possible Soviet offensive.

Today, the Japanese army has gathered forces and launched an offensive against the Soviet army in the cities of Vladivostok and Ulan-Ude.

Twenty days passed at once, and the Japanese suffered heavy losses at Vladivostok.

The entire city of Vladivostok was almost flattened by Japanese artillery fire, and the civilians were killed and wounded, and only a few who had taken refuge in the fortress survived. The Soviets did not have air superiority, but they had naval guns at sea. The range of Japanese artillery was inferior to that of naval guns, and Soviet warships were moored far away at sea to prevent the Japanese army from attacking.

After a dozen days, the shells on the warships were basically exhausted, and the Japanese army began to boldly march towards Vladivostok. After several days of attacking, he finally entered the city.

Fierce street fighting began. The Japanese army carried away more than 2,000 corpses every day, and the cars from Manchuria became special vehicles for transporting ashes when they returned.

By 20 November, the Japanese had finally captured every ruin on the ground, but the occasional sound of gunfire from the ground and the ruins indicated that the city was still under the control of the Soviets.

On the 21st, the Battle of Vladivostok took a turn for the worse, the Japanese army brought in a large amount of gasoline, poured barrels of gasoline into the entrance of a fortress that had been discovered a long time ago, and when the Japanese burned the fire into the fortress, only less than a hundred Soviet troops inside ran out, and the rest were burned to death.

The tactics of the Northeast Coalition Army burning bacteriological units with gasoline at Nomenkan were learned by the Japanese and used in the Soviets' fortresses. The Japanese really can't help it, otherwise they wouldn't have burned people with precious gasoline.

The fortress was on fire, and smoke came out of a dozen exits and dozens of batteries, hundreds of shooting holes. The Japanese army chased after these smoking places and shot the Soviet soldiers who escaped from them.

Apanashchenko also died.

Without him in command, the Soviet army would have surrendered long ago.

The base camp of the Japanese army and the headquarters of the Kwantung Army were very happy to receive good news, especially the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, which finally fulfilled their wish for decades.

The base camp was also very happy. Finally, they can get out of Manchuria and concentrate on the implementation of the southward expansion plan.

The Japanese people are simply crazy with joy, and the cities and villages, the streets and alleys are full of celebratory crowds. Although there is not much to eat now, and the rationing system makes everyone very thin, the spiritual victory can still make people happy for a while.

However, the Japanese base camp was not as happy as the people, because the Kwantung Army suffered more than 300,000 casualties and lost more than half of its more than 600 aircraft, so it had to replenish the Kwantung Army with new recruits while drawing veterans from the Kwantung Army.

In order to stabilize the situation of occupation in the Far East, the Japanese army decided that extraordinary measures could be taken, which were decided by the front-line officers on a case-by-case basis.

In fact, this is the order for the massacre. A frenzied massacre began in the Far East. In Artem, north of Vladivostok, more than 100,000 citizens who escaped from Vladivostok were killed by the Japanese army. Boli, Hailan Pao, and the people in Chita City have basically been killed.

For the Soviets in the villages, the Japanese first killed people, then took everything in the villages, and if there were no garrisons, then burned the houses. Those Soviets who temporarily fled their homes took refuge in the forests, watching their homes burn down, not knowing how to survive this winter.

The idea of the Japanese army is very simple, the Soviets in the Far East are only one or two million, excluding those who have fled, there are still one or several hundred thousand people left, and the vast majority of the population lives in more than a dozen cities. Only in this way will the troops be sufficient.

For this reason, since November, the Japanese army has sent tens of thousands of troops to burn and kill all along the railway, except for the railway and a few cities, the Soviet Far East has returned to 300 years ago.

Beginning in November, the Mongol column launched a campaign west of the Great Khingan Mountains, attacking simultaneously at several different locations, and in three or four days, all but the railway line, Hailar, Manchuria, and Arshan, all other Japanese forces were cleared. The war situation was sent to Yan'an with great fanfare and passed on to the Soviet Union.

Taking advantage of the victory, the troops of Outer Mongolia pursued and moved northward to clear all the Japanese troops here. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the campaign to attack the Soviet Union, the Japanese army had to send heavy troops to guard along the railway. The pace of the Japanese attack to the west was suddenly disrupted.

The Northeast Coalition Army in Rehe in the west of Liaoning and the Northeast Coalition Army in the east of Suiyuan also launched campaigns at the same time to recover the large and small towns of this generation.

Skirmishes in rural towns and villages have been carried out in an all-round way. These battles were not visible or even painful in Japan, but the land occupied by the puppet Manchu regime was drastically reduced. These battles were transmitted to Yan'an in a high-profile manner, to the Soviet Union.

This series of attacks really delayed the offensive of the Japanese army on the front line in Manchuria. The attacking Japanese began to slow down, fearing that the logistical supply lines would be cut off.

The purpose of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Federation was to compress the Japanese into a few big cities in two months.

The Soviets were satisfied with the slowdown of the Japanese offensive in Siberia.

November 21, 1941. Yekaterinburg.

The atmosphere in the Soviet Central in Yekaterinburg was depressing, and Vladivostok was lost. It was a huge failure. Because Apanashchenko died in battle, he couldn't even find a scapegoat.

The Japanese policy of slaughter gave the Japanese the strength to mobilize large forces to move westward. Now, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops are pressing towards the Baikal line, and Ulan-Ude has no choice but to give up. Just give up such a city one by one, and next spring, the Japanese army will hit the Ural Mountains.

In this way, the pressure on the USSR was even greater.

In order to cope with the loss of the Far East, the newly settled factories had to be moved again immediately.

A large number of factories were transferred from Yekaterinburg to Central Asia, and although the Soviets had no plans to abandon Siberia, they really could not spare the military strength to protect it. Some of the troops transferred from the Far East were sent back along the Trans-Siberian Railway, and some were sent to the Moscow front.

Moscow, like the Far East, is tough.

Now, the road to Moscow has frozen, and the Soviets are moving quickly. The Germans held the city of Moscow and fought street battles with the attacking Soviet troops, and this time, the Germans used the city west of the Moscow River as a base to fight for the east of Moscow. The attacking Soviet troops were at a disadvantage.

Moscow became a meat grinder for the USSR and Germany, and Soviet troops were constantly marching into it and being strangled constantly. Although the defending Germans occupied the fortifications and fortresses originally built by the Soviets, they were not accustomed to the climate, and the performance of the weapons deteriorated in low temperatures, and the losses were great.

Stalin was even more furious by the fact that the Germans had done something that made Stalin even more angry, and they had set up the counter-revolutionary Semenov and set up the Russian Provisional Government, with Semenov as the provisional president.

Hitler did not agree to fight alongside this lowly Slav, but in order to cooperate with the Japanese, he had to agree and prop up the government.

Semyonov issued a proclamation announcing to all Russians his political program that everyone, as long as they surrendered, could still maintain their original position, with the aim of overthrowing Stalin. He also called on those whose homes had previously been purged by Stalin to rise up bravely against Stalin.

Semenov's proclamation did not cause a great reaction in the eastern part of the Soviet Union, but it did cause a great reaction in the German-occupied areas in the west. Semenov is running around in Belarus, Ukraine, giving speeches everywhere, and the influence is bad.

In the Central Committee of Yekaterinburg, a public call was issued for the partisans in the enemy theater of operations, ordinary people, to take action, to persuade your relatives not to join the traitorous government, and to liquidate the most heinous traitors.

Now that guerrilla warfare was gradually emerging behind enemy lines in the western part of the Soviet Union, Stalin's call was to use guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines to relieve pressure on the front. These measures are all suggestions from Yan'an. In any case, many people in the Soviet Union have studied "On Protracted War" and have made arrangements according to the experience of learning.

Soon, the call to action worked.

In the course of his speeches, Semenov suffered more than a dozen assassinations, all of which were destroyed by the German troops defending him.

The inhabitants of Yekaterinburg constantly see people fleeing from the Far East and Siberia, and they are filled with a heavy heart when they see refugees coming off trains.

In addition to the Soviet Union, Yichun and Yan'an also felt the pressure of the fall of Vladivostok. The greatest pressure is that the Japanese have completed the massacre in Vladivostok and will send a part of their troops back to the northeast to counterattack the Northeast Resistance League. The second pressure was that the Soviet Union once again made demands to Yan'an and Yichun, asking them to travel and promise to further attack the Japanese, so as to hold back the Japanese army and prevent the Japanese army from attacking the Soviet Union smoothly.

Yichun's countermeasure was to intensify guerrilla warfare. It is already a harsh winter, and it is very difficult to fight behind enemy lines.

Yichun's core is Xiaolu, and he is not in a hurry, because he is waiting for a big event, a big thing enough to divert everyone's attention, and that is the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

Because the Japanese army had already occupied Vladivostok, intelligence from Japan said that the Japanese people at the grassroots level were overjoyed, believing that the northward advance had gone smoothly and that they had achieved their goal and could advance south.

Various information from Japan showed that the Japanese plan to advance south was not affected.
