At 3:30 a.m. on June 22, 1941, the German army launched a surprise attack on the Soviet Union on a long front of more than 2,000 kilometers from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south. (Start of Project Barbarossa)

The task of the German Army Group Center was to encircle and annihilate the Soviet Red Army in Belarus (Белоруссия), with a total of 50 divisions and 2 brigades, and then attack Moscow, the heart of the Soviet Union, Army Group North had a strength of 29 divisions, and the task was to annihilate the Soviet Red Army on the Baltic coast and attack Leningrad, and Army Group South was to attack in the general direction of Kiev and the whole of Ukraine (Укра?на, Украина), The main forces of the Soviet Red Army in Ukraine were wiped out west of the Dnieper River (Днепре, Дн?про) with 57 divisions and 13 brigades. In addition, two armies, Norway and Finland, directed to the north, carried out surprise attacks in the direction of Murmansk (Мурманск) and Leningrad, respectively.

At the beginning of the war, 66 airfields in the western part of the Soviet Union were heavily bombed, and the Soviet Union = Red Army lost 1,200 planes in half a day, of which 800 were destroyed at the airfields before they could take off, but there were still planes taking off from the airfields to attack the Germans. The western cities, naval and air bases, and communications facilities of the Soviet Union were seriously damaged by the attacks of the German aviation, and the command organs of the border military districts were basically paralyzed. The Germans advanced 50-60 kilometers on the first day of the war. The situation at the front was further aggravated by the blind command of the Soviet Defense Committee, which issued an unrealistic order that night in the face of the unclear situation of the war, demanding that the border military districts carry out a fierce counterattack to destroy the invading enemy.

In the first week of the war, the Germans, by virtue of their sudden offensive, superiority in weapons and equipment, the fact that the army had already been mobilized and concentrated and had combat experience, fought extremely easily, Army Group Center had advanced to Minsk, the capital of Belarus, Army Group South had advanced to the front of Kiev, and Army Group North had crossed the Western Dvina.

Although the Soviet Government took emergency measures to change the forward military districts into front armies and set up the Soviet Red Army Command, it suffered a serious defeat at the beginning of the war because a large amount of work could not be prepared before the outbreak of the war, and because the Soviet Red Army had outdated equipment, the quality of its commanders was poor, and it had misjudged the direction of the enemy's main attack, 28 divisions were completely wiped out in the early stage of the war, and more than half of the 70 divisions lost more than half of their weapons. According to statistics published by the West after the war, in the first 18 days of the Soviet-German war, the Soviet Union lost 2,000 trains of munitions, 3,000 artillery pieces, 2,000 aircraft, 1,500 tanks, and 300,000 Soviet Red Army prisoners.

Meng Qingshan, who had just gotten up, hadn't finished stretching his waist, Xiaohuzi hurriedly pushed the door in with a telegram, and Meng Qingshan asked excitedly: "The devil has attacked?" ”

"The devil didn't attack, commander, it's fighting, it's really fighting."

"Who fought, and which troop?"

"The Germans and the Soviet big nose are fighting."

When he saw this telegram from Moscow, although he already knew that Germany would attack the Soviet Union, he never expected that the Soviet Union would be beaten so badly.

"Commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, the fight has begun, the Soviet-German battle has broken out." Liu Yalou and Zhou Baozhong came to Meng Qingshan's house together and shouted.

"No need to shout, I already know, this is already a telegram from a week ago, I estimate that the little devil will definitely know earlier than we know, and now the devil's troops should be on the way, fortunately, we have set up the task a week ago, otherwise we will be caught off guard by the little devil."

"Lao Meng, you are really accurate, not only are we busy these days, but the little devils are not idle, you see." After speaking, he handed the telegram in his hand to Meng Qingshan.

"On June 20, the Japanese Kwantung Army brought a train of various ammunition supplies from Mukden, parked them in the Qiqihar material warehouse, and sent heavy troops to protect them, and there was no intention of transporting them away......"

"On June 21, the Japanese Kwantung Army mobilized the 25th Division to Harbin, declaring that it was to strengthen the defense forces in the Harbin area..."

"On June 22, the Japanese Kwantung Army, in the name of assembling exercises, transferred about three wings of troops from various counties in the Xiajiang area and concentrated them in the military camp in Jiamusi. However, so far, the troops of nearly 10,000 people have not moved.

"On the 23rd, the Japanese army in Qiqihar received a large amount of supplies from Mukden, and gathered underground party personnel to count that this batch of materials was enough for a month's combat supply of a Japanese division......

"On the 24th, the Japanese army in Zhalantun has assembled and exercised in the name of transferring the strength of two wings to the Zhalantun military camp in the surrounding county strongholds, and the specific reason is unknown..."

……

"It's not too tiring for a good guy to make such an obvious move, and to cover it up."

"The commander-in-chief of the little devil has already begun to act, in the evening yesterday on a big move, the Japanese first division is divided into three roads with Fufu, Lindian, Mingshui counties as the initial point has been to the north to Nenjiang County, the eighth division from Anda, Lanxi, Hulan all the way to the north, the goal is the same as the first division, and the Japanese army in Zhalantun also sent a brigade of troops to the Daxinganling base area, Jiamusi's fourth division is crossing the river, the Japanese 25th division did not go to the Haierbin area at all, Instead, they began to cross the river in the area of Fangzheng and Yilan, and the 11th Division made a circle in Baoqing and returned to the Mishan garrison, sending only two wings of troops to Fujin County. ”

"This little devil really looks up to us, it seems that this time the little devil is really determined to destroy us, and he actually mobilized nearly five divisions of troops, this is a tough battle. But we are not muddy, if you want to eat us, you have to see if he has a good tooth, these more than 100,000 troops, the daily consumption of materials is astronomical, and the key to our battle is to defeat the Japanese army's logistics troops, as long as the Japanese troops have no food, then they are in the elite, and they will also fall apart. Meng Qingshan sneered.

"Yes! I also didn't expect that the devils would send so many troops this time, as long as we introduce the devils' large troops into the base area and pull the little devils' marching route into a line, it will be difficult for the weak logistics troops of the Japanese army to resist the attack of the troops, and we have created the illusion of shrinking the strength of the Japanese army before, and now the Japanese should think that our troops have been hoarded in Heihe Province, and this is the key to our victory. ”

"However, we should not be careless, this time the devil will make up his mind to eat us, this is a vicious battle, we must be prepared with both hands, once we fail in the front-line battle, let Comrade Fuchun immediately arrange for the people in the base area to evacuate to the territory of the Soviet Union."

"Don't worry, commander, I'll arrange it." Zhou Baozhong turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Looking at Zhou Baozhong's departing figure, Meng Qingshan asked Liu Yalou beside him, "How did Lao Liu do before?" ”

"It's all arranged, and now it is estimated that the whole of Manchukuo should know the news of the abundant oil in Siberia in the Soviet Union and the distribution map of the oil, but can we be fooled by such an obvious hype of the little devils?"

"With the personality of the little devil, he will definitely be fooled, but the previous battle of Normenhan has brought some shadows to the devil, but such a good opportunity, if I am the third general of Yamada B, I will definitely fight, you must know that this is a war feat to expand the territory, not to mention that there is still the scarce oil of the devil's navy, you must know that in the eyes of the little devil, the navy is their top priority, and they can do anything for the navy, but we still have to work hard to make the little devil believe that there is only one shelf left in the Far Eastern Military Region, the so-called three people become tigers, Let the intelligence department make up some news that can arouse the interest of the Japanese army, and I don't believe that the little devils will not take advantage. ”

What's more, Meng Qingshan asked Liu Yalou to send out a map of the distribution of materials in Siberia, but really, the distribution of materials on the map is more detailed than the map in the hands of the Soviet Union now, and even the quantity of minerals has been marked in detail by Meng Qingshan.

In the past, the Soviet Union contained the Japanese army, so that Meng Qingshan led the Anti-Japanese Federation to continuously fight against the Japanese invaders, and constantly consumed the strength of the Kwantung Army, and the Kwantung Army did not dare to transfer the elite on the border to encircle and suppress the Anti-United Nations, so it could only use the second-line troops and the puppet army and recruits to encircle and suppress the Anti-United Nations, and the result was defeated again and again.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army declined after the Great Purge, it must have been an army supported by a strong industrial base and a complete military system, and with the existing strength of the Kwantung Army, it would definitely be bled to a bloody encounter. Although the Soviet Union has now been defeated by Germany, it is not something that anyone can bully, and the hundreds of thousands of Red Army troops in the Far Eastern Military District are enough for the little devils to drink a pot, as long as the little devils dare to fight, a big war will definitely break out, and at that time it is a good time for the development and growth of the Anti-Japanese Federation.

As long as the Japanese army can be eliminated, Meng Qingshan will not be able to eliminate the Soviet army or himself, anyway, the more the little devil dies, the better. At least after the war with the Soviet Union, that little devil can turn his attention to the Soviet Union, instead of always staring at the Anti-United Nations, so that the Anti-United Nations can continue to develop.

Of course, there is also a very secret idea, that is, if the Japanese navy succeeds in a sneak attack on Vladivostok like a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, when the Japanese army is defeated in the future, Meng Qingshan can logically accept the Jiangdong region, including Sakhalin Island, from the Japanese army. In that case, hehe, it will be able to fulfill the wishes of tens of thousands of compatriots in the future. You must know that at this time in the Vladivostok region, there were still hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese, Manchus, and Koreans, and Stalin had not had time to expel all of them!

This is the difference between Meng Qingshan and the old Communist Party members of this era. Once those old Communist Party members and the old Anti-Japanese Federation learned that the Japanese army had invaded the Soviet Union, I am afraid that their first thought was to defend the Soviet Union. And Meng Qingshan was actually the mastermind behind the instigation of the Japanese army to attack the Soviet Union, which was simply a great rebellion to the extreme. If Zhou Bao and others knew that he had such terrible thoughts, I am afraid that Meng Qingshan would not have a peaceful life in the future. (To be continued.) )
