The cold dew is not cold, the frost has changed, and in late October, the cold weather is coming. Pen %Fun Cabinet www.biquge.info Mishelov led his troops to retreat to Vladivostok for more than half a month, and the situation was getting worse and worse. Marshal Vasilev on the Northern Front constantly invested troops to maintain a strong offensive and launched turns of attacks at any cost. By the end of October, the Soviet army on the northern front had invested 200,000 troops and 18 divisions, and for a time Uya became the focus of contention between the two sides.

At the critical moment of defense, with the independent airborne division successively airdropping Uaya to support operations, and with the 23rd Army successively entering Uaya operations, the combat strength of the Eighth Route Army increased to 110,000 on the Uya line, and the continuous offensive of the Soviet army was contained, so far the southern front cluster of the Soviet army in Vladivostok fell into despair. As Bai Chongxi waved his troops along the river and dragged half of Vasilev's troops, Vasilev's attempt to break through Uya and rescue the southern front cluster was frustrated.

During this period, for the Soviet army in Vladivostok, all units of the Eighth Route Army adopted cage tactics to constantly squeeze the defensive space of the Soviet army in Vladivostok, and with the gradual narrowing of the encirclement, more than 100,000 Soviet troops became turtles in the urn. At this time, in the headquarters of the Southern Front of the Soviet Army in Vladivostok, the atmosphere of defeat was pervasive and suffocating. The commander, Mishelov, sat in his chair with a languid expression, his face pale and his cheeks sunken. "Comrade General, Marshal Vasilev called, the reinforcements on the northern front have been exhausted from the battle for days and have stopped the offensive!"

"Marshal Vasilev told us that we are reorganizing our forces and launching an offensive in the near future, so we must hold on." Report by the Chief of Staff. Mishelov stared at the chief of staff with bloodshot eyes and said: "The reorganization of the offensive is nothing more than to comfort us." It is already impossible for Vasilev to break through the northern front to intercept, this is self-deception. "Comrade General, the enemy army is very cunning and has not launched a powerful offensive since the formation of the enemy encirclement."

"The enemy forces adopted oppressive tactics, gradually encroached on our outer positions, and used small units to launch attacks 24 hours a day, causing casualties among the forward troops. The enemy forces have adopted non-stop air raids, and the enemy's aircraft carrier fleet has shelled them on a large scale, and at present the death of our wounded has increased due to the shortage of medicines, and the morale of the officers and men has reached its lowest point. According to statistics, we can last a month with food, but the ammunition reserves have been depleted. ”

"At present, in the forward positions, soldiers often surrender, and the enemy's political offensive comes into play. This morning, a regiment of the 55th Army, led by the regimental commander, surrendered en masse. The 8th Mechanized Army, due to the shortage of fuel, has been unable to function, and the ****** have lost confidence. "Report, enemy warplanes airdropped a letter!" An operational staff officer reports. Vasilev stared at the letter without saying anything, and the chief of staff took it and opened it.

On October 28, the commander of the Soviet Southern Front cluster, Mishelov, ordered to lay down his arms and surrender. The Soviet High Command ordered the Eastern Front to stop the offensive, dismissed Marshal Vasilev of the 1st Far Eastern Front, and returned to Moscow to report on his duties. At the same time, Stalin ordered the steppe front to enter from the western part of Xinjiang, which undoubtedly sent a signal that the Soviet Russian high command wanted to expand the scale of the war. This move immediately caused the world to boil, and there were naturally many people watching the excitement.

At the Mudanjiang Special Forces Headquarters, Ouyang Jian received an order from the headquarters to go to Vladivostok to surrender. At this time, Mu Shixiong said with joy on his face: "I just received a telegram that the bear hunting team and the rescued comrades of the Anti-Japanese Federation, they were rescued on a wooden boat and encountered the Great Wall aircraft carrier formation at sea. "They're doing well, it's the best news I've ever heard, it's time for us to go." Soon, Ouyang Jian, Mu Shixiong and others boarded a transport plane and flew directly to Vladivostok. After emergency repairs, the runway of Vladivostok Airport was restored to function.

The planes flew eastward along the railway line, close to the border area, and a large number of troops were moving eastward. According to Su Yu's order, the 4th Army and the 5th Army were transferred to Harbin and prepared to fight on the front line of Qiqihar. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies moved north and marched to Khabarovsk. Lü Zhengcao's independent column was ready to fight on Sakhalin. "Chief of the General Staff, your idea has come true, and the next step is to wave your troops north and be invincible." Mu Shixiong broke the silence.

"Stalin was not willing to lose, and the situation was worse than we expected." "But your expression is so relaxed!" "Really?" "It seems that you have already made a plan for Soviet Russia, you said that the war will end when winter comes, but you also said that Soviet Russia is unwilling to lose, isn't this inconsistent?" "I said that, and it's going to happen soon, so we'll see." Seeing Ouyang Jian's unfathomable appearance, Mu Shixiong was once again confused.

The plane landed at Vladivostok airport, and the airport was still in disarray, only the runway was sorted out and repaired. After the plane came to a standstill, Zhao Liang, commander of the 1st Army, Zhang Shiying, deputy chief of staff of the 1st Corps and concurrently serving as the 2nd Army, Xiao Jinguang, commander of the 3rd Army, Lu Zhengcao, commander of the Shandong Independent Column, and Tao Yong, commander of the aircraft carrier fleet, greeted them at the airport. The generals greeted each other, and then drove to the city, where the convoy stopped in front of the headquarters of the Soviet troops. At this time, Mishelov had already led the generals to wait in line. Ouyang Jian got out of the car and walked straight towards Mishelov.

At the beginning of the surrender ceremony, the two sides exchanged military salutes, and Mishelov solemnly handed over his gun to Ouyang Jian. Ouyang Jian said: "General Mishelov, you and your subordinates will fully enjoy humanitarian treatment. The wounded of your unit are temporarily being treated in Vladivostok, and you and your men are being sent to the Harbin prisoner of war camp, what conditions can you put forward? "Thank you to the general for his kindness, the general of the defeated army has no face to raise conditions." "General Mishelov, our prisoner policy is to walk the talk and do what we do, please rest assured!"

After the surrender ceremony, the captured troops of the Soviet army began to be transferred to Harbin, and the railway line was probably full of loads. In the afternoon of the same day, Ouyang Jian came to the dock and sent Lu Zhengcao's independent column to Sakhalin. "Commander Lu, the Sea Wolf Squadron is currently fighting in the north of Sakhalin, and your landing location is in the north, and the aircraft carrier fleet will provide you with support." "Please rest assured that the Chief of the General Staff will resolutely complete the task." Tao Yong raised his hand in salute, and then boarded the Great Wall aircraft carrier warship with Lu Zhengcao.

Mu Shixiong looked at the two Japanese aircraft carriers moored in the harbor and sighed: "Chief of General Staff, how do you know that Japan has two unfinished aircraft carriers?" "Do you still need to ask, it is naturally provided by intelligence." "Chief of the General Staff, how long will it take for these two aircraft carriers to continue construction?" Zhang Shiying asked, "About a year!" "Chief of the General Staff, we will immediately wave our troops north, do you have any requirements?" "I have already given Su Yu an order, and the Soviet army on the Eastern Front is already a frightened bird."

Ouyang Jian continued: "The harsh winter is coming soon, you must carry forward our army's ability to fight continuously, and be sure to take Khabarovsk in mid-November, and we will be in an extremely advantageous position for Sino-Soviet negotiations in the future." "Please rest assured that the Chief of the General Staff will complete the task!" The next day, Ouyang Jian boarded the plane, passed through Shenyang and Beiping, and flew directly to Lanzhou.

Just as Ouyang Jian was flying to Lanzhou, Stalin arrived in Irkusco on a special plane. When Stalin learned of the annihilation of the Far South-Eastern Front cluster, he immediately convened a meeting of the Ministry of Defense to make a new military deployment in view of the passive current situation. Stalin ordered the Soviet troops on the front line in Usa to retreat to Khabarovsk, and ordered the Jiangsu army to retreat north of the Heilongjiang River and enter the defense in full. Ordered the Soviet troops on the Manchurian front line to retreat from the Qiqihar line. Stalin had to devote all his energies to the battlefield in Outer Mongolia.

At the Irkusko military airfield, Zhukov, commander of the Outer Mongolian Front, and other generals greeted him. Stalin's expression was very serious, he got off the plane and shook hands with Zhukov alone, and then drove straight to the headquarters. The generals of the various army groups in the headquarters took their seats, and Zhukov reported: "Comrade Stalin, at present, the enemy forces have retreated to the line of Altay, Albay and Mandal after abandoning Kulen, Kodo, and Uriya Sutai. On the Albay front, China's Central Army, the predecessor of which was the Chinese Expeditionary Force, was put into operation. ”

"Successive attacks, the divisions fell into a state of exhaustion. The battle line was lengthened, and we had to commit more troops. Now it can be concluded that the strategy of the enemy army in Outer Mongolia is to cooperate with the operation on the Eastern Front! We have strategically ignored this. Stalin stood up and said: "The strategy for the northeast formulated by the high command was carried out in such a hurry that the war situation in the east was eroded. Perhaps the Chinese side guessed our strategic intentions, that is, to shrink back and achieve the strategic goals at a low cost, and the defeat on the Eastern Front tells us everything. ”

"The facts are eloquent and the opponent must be re-examined. The High Command decided to change its strategic deployment, focusing on Outer Mongolia, and then penetrating deep into China's hinterland to use powerful military strikes to force China to submit. This time, we will use our powerful air power to carry out air strikes on China's territory. In addition, the western part of the Chinese side was empty, and the Grassland Front concentrated 500,000 troops into Xinjiang and captured Dihua. The high command decided to add another 2,000 combat aircraft, 2,000 battle tanks, and 5,000 artillery pieces to the Outer Mongolian grassland. The additional 1 million troops were all engaged in the war in Outer Mongolia. ”

Zhukov looked at Stalin, full of ambition, and his heart was once again clouded. China's courage to send troops to the Far East, and its invincibility, to bring the enemy to its knees, is nothing more than self-deception. If the war escalates, Zhukov has no confidence in whether he will be able to achieve a final victory. The environment has changed, the opponent has changed, and it is a rising lion of the East, what are the odds of winning? Zhukov, despite his doubts, could not object.
