Chapter 1817 Two Choices

In the past four months, Yegorov sat in Kazan and resisted the steady stream of Soviet troops from the direction of Moscow with more than 100,000 Far Eastern troops. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The whole of Kazan was almost in ruins, and the flames of war spread from the west to the east, but in many places it was firmly in the hands of the Far Eastern Army, and it was difficult to shake it in the slightest.

Of course, if it weren't for the timely thaw of the frozen Volga River in March, and at the same time the cities of Ulyanovsk and Togliatti and Samara in the lower reaches of the Volga River controlled the hands of the Far Eastern Army, making it impossible for the Soviet Black Sea Fleet to go north to participate in the war, plus the entire Volga hilly region was a very active guerrilla zone of the Far Eastern Army, the land policy of dividing the fields into households in the Far East won the hearts of the people, and the people of all ethnic groups enthusiastically supported and constantly attacked the logistics supply lines of the Soviet army, resulting in a serious shortage of material supplies for the Soviet army, otherwise Kazan, which was besieged from several sides at the same time, It has fallen.

In just these four months, after stabilizing its position, the Far Eastern Army completed the build-up of troops and combat materials, and at the same time knocked out the salient parts where the Soviet Army and the Far Eastern Army were intertwined, and launched an active counteroffensive in late April. Only a month later, the various departments were basically assembled in place, just waiting for the command to give an order, and at this time the Soviet army was still at a loss.

At two o'clock in the morning on May 27, the land was silent.

"Three, two, the beginning!"

With Yegorov's order, the earth shook violently, the eastern sky was dyed a terrible orange, long-range artillery streaked across the dark sky, the 12-tube or 24-tube "Katyusha" rocket launchers equipped by the Far Eastern Army, and some of the eight-tube rocket launchers supported by the South Chinese side, dragged a long tail flame, illuminated the night sky like splashes of ink, and rained down on the positions of the Soviet army.

One plane after another swept one or two hundred meters above the Soviet position, and a terrible whistling sound was heard, and one after another aerial bombs fell like old hens laying eggs, blowing up the artillery positions exposed by the Soviet troops in a hurry to counterattack.

In an underground bunker east of Kazan, where telegraphs and telephones rang incessantly, it was the command center of the Far Eastern Army. It was precisely because of the knowledge of Yegorov Kazan that the Soviet army launched wave after wave of powerful offensives, but in the face of the heroic and stubborn resistance of the Far Eastern Army, the offensive was crushed again and again.

When the situation was critical, the salient of the Soviet army was already less than 200 meters away from Yegorov's headquarters, but the reinforcements rushed from the rear annihilated the Soviet army, and the situation turned into safety.

Egorov paced back and forth, his expression extremely grim.

Three hours after the offensive was launched, neither the northern nor the southern front broke through the Soviet defenses, and he was a little out of breath. So, having the communications officers answer the phone calls of the commanders of the northern and southern flanks, asking them to intensify the offensive, Yegorov shouted into the phone:

"In this move, Zhukov has moved most of his army to my front, there is no longer a defensive force worth mentioning in front of you, you must resolutely crush it, and then quickly close the center position."

An Minchi, who served as Yegorov's chief of staff as an observer, reminded that the Soviets had transferred one tank corps from the western front to strengthen the defense of Shkalola in the north, and another tank corps from the reserve front to strengthen the Kanash line in the south.

Yegorov was not angry but happy, and prayed to An Ming with a smile:

"That's a good thing! Stalin also transferred the tank units that had been organized, and this kind of unit with no combat experience, no matter how well equipped, could not bring into play its combat effectiveness. Immediately send a telegram to General Fediko and General Leonid, telling them to concentrate their forces on the enemy's tank forces first, and completely destroy the arrogance of these reactionary troops who obeyed the orders of the evil Stalin. ”

After another five hours, the first battle reports arrived one after another, and in the face of the absolute superiority of the Far Eastern Army, after the Soviet tank units were defeated, the defense lines of the northern and southern flanks collapsed, and the Far Eastern Army was advancing in depth.

On this day, under the escort of fighter planes of the Far Eastern Air Force, which had gained air supremacy, B-2 dive bombers flew into the sky, then dived vertically, whistling and throwing bombs to the ground. Hundreds of Q1 attack planes modified from AB26 threw a dense rain of bullets on the heads of the Soviet troops.

On the ground, more than a thousand T34 tanks went on a rampage, followed by many armored vehicles and motorcycles. Behind tanks and armored vehicles, tens of thousands of modified tracked trucks. Wherever the torrent of steel went, it withered and decayed, the earth trembled, and the sky was moved.

By sunset on the 27th, the Far Eastern Army on both flanks of Kazan had broken through the Soviet defense line for more than 80 kilometers.

At 11 o'clock in the evening of that day, the Far Eastern Army took advantage of the situation to regain Krasnogorsky, and it is said that General Fediko specially sent a mixed force of airborne troops with tanks, artillery, and infantry to penetrate deep behind the Soviet army and capture the Soviet army's strategic material supply base during the march.

At 4 a.m. the next day, seventeen hours after the Southern Cluster tore through the Kanash Line, the railway junction of Tsyvelsk fell under the control of the Far Eastern Army, which announced the severance of the railway supply line for the attack on the Soviet troops in Kazan. This is not yet the main threat, because the main railway line to the rear will be cut off, once the Far Eastern Army on the north and south flanks on both sides of the Volga River is encircled, the nearly one million Soviet troops in the encirclement will face the doom of total annihilation.

The Far Eastern Army, which was not favored by the whole world, achieved a reversal of the situation in the Battle of Kazan, and then even had the possibility of changing the fate of Moscow and the Far Eastern Republics, this is the important telegram that An Yi received early in the morning, and the other telegram was about Wang Jingwei, although it was also important, but it was dwarfed in front of the first message.

Wang Jingwei appeared yesterday morning in the Tianjin Japanese Concession.

Previously, some media in Hong Kong published a poem written by Wang Jingwei: Lying down and listening to the bell to report the night, the sea and the sky are hard to find. The rudder is still in the wind, and the lighthouse is slightly cloudy and the moon is half-cloudy. Good friends gradually followed the thousands of catastrophes, and Shenzhou regained a hundred years of sinking. I don't sigh sadly, and I don't have a heart to check my life.

Even people like An Yi, who don't understand ancient Chinese, understand what Wang Jingwei wants to express -- the first half of this poem describes Wang Jingwei's desolate and sad psychological state after leaving Macao. The second half borrows the allusion of Huan Wen, the general of the Jin Dynasty's expedition to the west, to condemn Wang Yifu, implying that the Chiang Kai-shek clique, Nanhua and the CCP cannot evade responsibility for the Sino-Japanese war; At the same time, he also re-evaluated Wen Tianxiang's famous poem "Crossing the Zero Ding Yang", expressing his "heart" to carry out a "peace movement" and act as a traitor.

It has been learned that after Wang Jingwei strengthened his "determination" to become a traitor, he immediately lowered the conditions for negotiations with the Japanese side and explicitly proposed that he should come forward to organize a puppet regime in the occupied areas in order to achieve the goal of "Sino-Japanese cooperation."

Early before Wang Jingwei arrived in Tianjin, he sent Zhou Fohai to Tianjin to restore the "Life" bookstore founded by the Central Committee and the original Wang-style newspaper "Zhonghua Daily", hoping to open a way out in the face of unanimous opposition from the cultural circles. After Wang Jingwei arrived in Tianjin, he lived in a villa arranged by the Japanese side, this house was equipped with bulletproof windows, and there was a barbed wire fence around the building.

As a precautionary measure, Wang Jingwei and his followers went to the Japanese military hospital yesterday afternoon to have their blood types tested, so that they would need it from time to time.

Zhao Rui called and asked if he would take immediate action against Wang Jingwei? At present, the Tianjin Station of the Central Intelligence Agency has made urgent arrangements to carry out strict control around Wang Jingwei's residence, and several special operations groups in North China have rushed to Tianjin, just waiting for the order from the headquarters.

In the telecommunications room, An Yi dictated the message and ordered Zhao Rui not to be busy for the time being, and to secretly observe Wang Jingwei's every move first.

The military commander had planted several nails around Wang Jingwei early on, and Wang Jingwei's whereabouts and the negotiation process with the Japanese side were all under the control of the military commander, and even Wang Jingwei was well aware of what happened when he rushed to Taiwan on the way to North China and lived in Keelung, Taipei, and other places for a period of time.

However, so far, no tangible evidence from all walks of life has been obtained, and even Chiang Kai-shek, who controlled all this remotely, could not bear it, and An Yi naturally did not want to become a bird, so he decided to wait and see what happened.

Subsequently, An Yi sent another telegram to Hu Jialin, asking him to closely monitor every move of the German and Soviet armies in the Middle East and the Chow Canada region to deal with various emergencies.

At present, the war between the USSR and the Far East has entered a critical moment, and Kazan will become the focus of the world's attention.

Once the Far Eastern Army completely closed the encirclement, the more than 500,000 Soviet troops that had penetrated deep into the Kazan area, as well as the same number of troops that had been squeezed into the encirclement from the north and south, would be completely cut off from the rear. The encirclement and annihilation of such a large force in such a small area had only been seen before when Germany attacked France. The price of France's defeat is surrender, so what are the consequences if the Soviet army is completely annihilated?

After sending the telegram, Shen Fengdao asked curiously: "Are you worried that Germany will choose to attack us while the Soviet Union is too busy to take care of itself?" ”

An Yi did not answer Shen Fengdao's question for the first time, and after letting the staff officers hang up the large Soviet map, he pondered for a long time on the map before turning his head and saying:

"With the Soviets encircled, Stalin was bound to send his troops on the Western Front to the rescue. In this way, Hitler had two options, one was to decisively attack the Soviet Union, take advantage of the situation to occupy Ukraine and Belarus, and strive to occupy Leningrad, Minsk, Kiev and the Crimean Peninsula before winter, and then advance the front to the line of Volkhov, Smolensk, Kursk and Kharkiv, and then reorganize the defense, so as to build wide anti-tank trenches and tunnels for keeping warm and cold, and rest and recuperate while preparing war materials.

"When the spring of next year comes, the earth thaws, and then the offensive is launched, and in two years we will occupy Moscow, Tula, Vrones, and Stalingrad, and then we will only need to deploy the defensive line step by step, and we will complete the great cause that Napoleon did not fail to accomplish in those years, and truly unify the European continent;

"The second is to take advantage of the civil strife in the Soviet Union and there is no time for Germany to launch an offensive on the Eastern Front, quickly cut through the chaos, concentrate all forces, and start a war against us. We have signed the "Triple Charter" and become the initiator of the "Declaration of the United Nations", in fact, we have stood on the opposite side of the Axis powers, and most importantly, Iraq and Persia, where the war started, are all reconquest areas, and there is no mass base to speak of, and as long as we lose a few battles, there will inevitably be a domino effect, and the army will be defeated.

"However, Germany can continuously transfer troops to the front line through the Eurasian railway bridge, and Turkey is an Islamic country, which has more appeal than us, and the entire western front will be in shambles. At the same time, the Japanese army took advantage of the situation in Malaya, Burma and the East Indies to launch an offensive to attract our attention, so we are facing a two-front battle, especially when the eastern and western fronts are separated from each other, there is a great possibility of defeat! ”

When Shen Fengdao heard this, his eyes widened, he turned his head to look at the map, and then asked worriedly, "If it were you, which one would you choose?" ”

An Yi replied without hesitation: "If it were me, I would definitely give priority to Iraq, Persia, and India, and join the Japanese army in the Indian Ocean to complete mutual strategic reunification." You must know that the Soviet civil war, the more lively the fight, the better, so that the two sides fight to the death, evenly matched, which will greatly consume the national strength and soldiers of the Slavs, and wait until Germany occupies all the surrounding areas of the Soviet Union, you can calmly deploy the army, and you can choose to start a war at any time and place in the future. At that time, the USSR and the Far East, exhausted from fighting, were not at all opponents of Germany! ”

Shen Fengdao's face was extremely ugly, and he asked again: "So, which one do you think Hitler will choose?" ”

"I don't know!"

An Yi shook his head, but still gave an answer:

"From what I know about Hitler, he never wanted to exterminate Bolshevism, believing that the Slavs were not at all worthy of the fertile lands of Ukraine. In the minds of Europeans, politics often comes first, and with the attack on the Soviet Union as a pretext, they can win over and unite the Vichy government, Spain, Portugal and other countries. Moreover, the basis of the existence of the Axis powers at the beginning was the "International Production" agreement signed by Germany, Italy and Japan, and now the Soviet army is firmly pinned down by the Far Eastern Army, I think the probability of Hitler's paranoid choosing to attack the Soviet Union is far greater than choosing to attack us! ”

Shen Fengdao's heart was just relieved, and An Yi said again: "However, before winning, we will lose first, no matter which one Hitler chooses, we must always be vigilant, Lao Shen, today is the seventh day of the no-fly zone, how is the retreat of the Allied forces on the Sinai Peninsula?" ”

Shen Fengdao replied: "It has entered the stage of sweeping, and there are currently about 30,000 people stranded on the peninsula, and it is expected that it should be completed today and tomorrow." ”

"Good!"

An Yi pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Let everyone prepare, and leave for China today." In the future, the international situation will become more and more turbulent, and we will have to deal with it carefully. As long as you cross this hurdle, it will be a sea and a sky! On the contrary, it can only be done by personnel and destiny! ”
