Chapter 304: Snow Red and Blood White (5)

In order to deal with the danger of the army attacking Chaoyang, Zhang Xuewu was also a little impatient, and issued the new 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th divisions of the Youth Army to Chengde to assemble, and secretly ordered the first armored division and the second armored division to move to Chifeng, Chaoyang is the bridgehead for Zhang Xuewu to attack Jinzhou and counterattack the northeast, this bridgehead he has been operating for many years, and Chaoyang's gold mine is one of Zhang Xuewu's major sources of income, Zhang Xuewu will never allow himself to carry out predatory mining, if possible, Zhang Xuewu was still worried about the 180 tons of gold in the pseudo-Xinjing, which he provided to Manchukuo as a so-called currency reserve, but in fact it was just a matter of where to put it to fill the scene, and he said that he himself was a poor jingle, and it was really not easy for a country with a poor army to come up with 180 tons of gold.

Zhang Xuewu's estimate is that 180 tons may not be available, but about 100 tons is still possible, after all, several large gold mines in the northeast have been destroyed and mined by the plundering of his surname.

But at the moment, Zhang Xuewu really can't take care of it, because the strategy of the army to attack Chaoyang has disrupted his trap deployment, since the war has been ignited, Zhang Xuewu naturally does not flinch to go up, this time he is not simply to let Yue himself break his head and bleed, he also wants to let Yue himself hurt his bones.

Because the 10th Theater of Operations is under tremendous pressure from the entire Kwantung Army and the North China Front, the Soviet Union's assistance has also increased, and Zhang Xuewusuo's surname has even temporarily hijacked the share of the National Political Axe, if the National Political Axe behaves well, and the Fifth Theater takes the initiative to fight by itself, then the material passage is unshirkable, and if Chiang Kai-shek plays tricks with himself, then he will give him a force to reduce the ten! Zhang Xuewu is also a master of playing scoundrels, and valuable materials should be used at critical moments.

And Zhang Xuewu has a hunch, that is, the friend of the Soviet Union seems to have a few days of friendship, because once he defeats the Kwantung Army, then a series of problems in the Northeast, Mongolia and Xinjiang Province bordering Russia will be transferred to himself, the Russians are not arrogant themselves, their favorite is to eat in small mouths rather than swallowing, so Chiang Kai-shek's hustle is the very threatening Russians, and now the Russians are assisting Zhang Xuewu and China out of their own needs on the east and west fronts, but once this need is gone? Will the Russians force themselves to be puppets? Foster the king of the Northeast that the Russians have always wanted to foster?

All this is a very possible thing for Zhang Xuewu, because the ambitions of the Russians have always been much greater than that of Yue himself, and the Russians are good at taking advantage of every opportunity in their favor, and unlike Yue himself's unprovoked troubles, the Russians' deliberate fame is what Zhang Xuewu is most worried about.

In the history of China, in the many wars between the Russians and the Qing Dynasty, the Russians massacred and exterminated a large number of people in Northeast China.

Chinese For example, Taiwan and Northeast China, which were occupied by the Emperor, have achieved certain economic development, but Russia only needs property and land, that is, the policy of asking for land and not people, and it Chinese be killed in the land it occupies, so there is no aboriginal Chinese in the Russian Far East in later generations.

Jiangdong 64 Tun Bloody Case, Hailan Pao Massacre, the forced annihilation of women by Soviet soldiers in the northeast at the end of World War II and the large-scale plundering of bad surnames, hundreds of thousands of Chinese were looted and slaughtered, Muravyovka in the Russian population, historically called Huangshantun in China, Grodekovo in China's Bordotun, Shemidomka in China's Da Paozitun, Volkovo in China's Duanshantun, as well as Bushantun, Laohutun, Lanqitun, Birch Lintun, Nanwo Pengtun, the disappearance of the name of each village, It means how many sons and daughters of China have been exterminated and slaughtered.

How much of the Chinese land occupied and divided by Russia can be effectively ascertained will no longer have the basis of international legal force in later generations, such as Mongolia, Tangnu Wulianghai, Sakhalin Island, Trans-Khingan Mountains, West Ili in northwest China, and the vast Siberia, each of which is the size of a few provinces of China.

In the traditional sense of China, Mongolia is more integrated with China than Tibet, Xinjiang Province, Taiwan, etc., and is an inseparable part of China in legal theory. Geographically and strategically speaking, if Russia deploys troops against Mongolia, which is only a few hundred kilometers away from the hinterland of North China, the loss of Mongolia can be said to be a national pain, and the huge Chinese Army can only carry out strategic defense mechanically; once a war breaks out, the Chinese Army is likely to repeat the tragedy of the full-scale outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and will be forced to abandon a large area of territory in North China, the northeast, and the west, and use the Central Plains as a major battlefield.

After the Opium Wars, China gradually became a semi-colony, and Tsarist Russia forced China to sign a series of unequal treaties on border issues. On the eastern and western sections of the Sino-Russian border, through the Sino-Russian Treaty of Aihui, the Sino-Russian Treaty of Yanjing, the Treaty of Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary, the Sino-Russian Treaty of Ili, the Treaty of Nebuchu, the Treaty of Brenski, the Sino-Russian Secret Treaty, and the Treaty of Xincho, the Qing Dynasty's humiliating treaty has been signed to the limit, millions of square kilometers of land have been ceded, Siberian oil fields have been abandoned, and China has strategically lost its precious space for survival.

Historically, after the October Revolution in Russia, Lenin's Soviet Russian political axe issued the "First Declaration on China", in which the Sino-Russian treaty proposed to be abolished only refers to the treaty of aggression against China signed with Russia and the two countries between the tsarist and the Chinese political axe from the end of the 19th century to the eve of the October Revolution, but it does not include the unequal Sino-Russian treaty concluded between the 50s and 80s of the 19th century.

Later, on September 27, 1920, the Soviet Russian government issued the "Second Declaration on China," which clearly declared that all treaties concluded between the previous Russian government and China were null and void, and that all the territories previously seized from China were null and void. This time, the position on the issues left over from the history of China and Russia seems to be a step forward from the first declaration, but this is not the case.

In the subsequent Sino-Soviet consultations and negotiations, the Soviet representatives always adhered to the position of maintaining the old unequal Sino-Russian boundary treaty, but only showed the only concession on not insisting that Jiangzuo 64 Tun be retained by Russia. In 1923, the Soviet government stated that it would re-sign the treaty on the basis of full recognition of China's sovereignty over its territory, but the territory here only refers to the area along the China Eastern Railway and the concessions provided by the Chinese government axe to the old Russian political axe. In the face of the demands of the Chinese delegates for the cancellation of the treaties between China and the old Russian imperialists, the Soviet delegates expressed their approval, with the exception of those concerning Sino-Russian border affairs.

During the warlord melee period in China, the Russians had long practiced a policy of cooperation and horizontal cooperation in China, and violently or secretly interfered in China's internal affairs, and various people from the Soviet Union and the Comintern, carrying silver dollars, shuttled through Yanjing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Nanjing, Changsha, Wuhan, Hong Kong and other places, and finally made China's Northern Expedition finally degenerate, and made China's moderate land reform at that time turn into an extremely bloody land revolution.

These are the consistent practices of the Russians, so now Zhang Xuewu is very worried, once he defeats the Kwantung Army, will the Russians replace Yue himself as his confidant? The Russians are not Yue himself, and if they want to push back the huge polar bear, they must wait for the opportunity, and according to Zhang Xuewu's knowledge, the Soviet side has also been secretly in contact with Yue himself.

The main reason for the Soviets' secret contacts with Yue himself was to secretly sign a Soviet-Syrian non-aggression pact with him, but because the Kwantung Army was going all out to attack Zhang Xuewu's headquarters in the 10th Theater, the Soviets' contact with Yue himself was forced to be temporarily interrupted, because it was not in line with the Soviet Union's principles to sit back and watch the 10th World War distinguish between his own annihilation, and Zhang Xuewu was more suitable than Chiang Kai-shek as a leader of a country or a new force, a young general full of enthusiasm and vigor. As far as the Soviets are concerned, helping the 10 th Theater to resist their own attack is a necessary task for them at present, because once the 10 th Theater of Operations is unable to accomplish the task of containing Yue, then the Soviet Union will not be able to take the initiative in the signing of the non-aggression pact.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the mechanized troops in the 10th theater, the Soviet Union not only provided a large number of its special antifreeze diesel and antifreeze engine oil, but more importantly, it sent diesel engine experts to guide the production of Baotou, the well-known freezing point of gasoline is below minus 120 degrees, and diesel will be turbid at about minus 35 degrees, and the temperature will gelatinize the diesel.

But the reality is that under low temperature conditions, it is more difficult for diesel engines to start at low temperatures than gasoline engines! Zhang Xuewu didn't understand that the Germans in history used gasoline engines, while the Soviets used diesel engines, and under real conditions, diesel engines were because of oil, and secondly, because the cylinder of the diesel engine cylinder was large, and the head of the cylinder would absorb a lot of heat, resulting in low internal temperature and flame retardant.

Under low temperature conditions, the fuel pipeline of the gasoline engine will freeze due to frost and cause fuel supply difficulties, and the diesel engine should also have this problem, so the engine starts under low temperature conditions and is completely heated by blowtorch roasting, and the German preheating Zhang Xuewu absolutely cannot afford to consume.

Moreover, through this heavy snow and low temperature, Zhang Xuewu found that the biggest problem of German tanks in winter was that their delicate mechanical structure was not easy to maintain, and the narrower tracks and overlapping load wheels were very easy to freeze in comparison.
