901 Anti-encirclement and Suppression and the Long March Eight-Nation Republican Peace Talks
"Friends, friends from New Delhi and Bhubaneswar. It seems that we should also move away from class struggle and democratic elections and return to peace, right? "The person who spoke was naturally our peace-loving Marshal Luo Yaoguo. While Chiang Kai-shek was busy chasing Stalin and Mao Zd was busy helping India's poor middle peasants to fight the landlords, Marshal Luo Yaoguo convened an "Indian Peace Conference" in Singapore, where he was joined by the equally soft-hearted, peace-loving Russian Empress Anastasiania. Nehru, chairman of the Indian National Congress Party, Ruyi, general secretary of the Indian GCD, and Zhou Elai, chairman of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, were invited to the Chang Yi naval base in Singapore, the capital of Singapore, which has just become a Chinese territory, to discuss India's cause of peace.
Although Stalin's 200,000 remnants of the defeated army had already marched into Balochistan in the past two days, and were engaged in a cruel and senseless war with the local tribal forces in Baluchistan, Chiang Kai-shek and Blyukhel were also taking this opportunity to contact Slim, the commander of the Indian Northwest Military Region in Karachi, with frequent telegrams and envoys to discuss a joint encirclement and suppression plan, preparing to use 180,000 squadrons, 300,000 White Russian troops, 100,000 Persian troops, 50,000 local Balochistan troops, and 50,000 Afghan troops. There were also 500,000 Indian Central Army and 200,000 local Indian armed forces to carry out a six-nation campaign against the remnants of Stalin. Seeing that on the South Asian subcontinent, corpses are about to accumulate like mountains and rivers of blood. But for the representatives of the four countries (two Indias, plus China and Russia) and the five parties (the two Indian and Chinese parties, as well as the Russian Empress) who have already come to Singapore. Peace does not seem to have reached the point of complete despair. At least in Luo Yaoguo's mouth, peace is so easy to obtain, as long as the two parties in India can put aside their differences, proceed from the overall situation of the Indian nation, and New Delhi should not talk about democratic reunification, and Bhubaneswar should not engage in so much class struggle, the two parties in India can still coexist peacefully.
A few people were now sitting down in the living room of an English-style bungalow in the Zhangyi Naval Base, the sunlight was shining through the window, the room was very hot, and everyone had a drink with ice in front of them. A ceiling fan is spinning at maximum speed, sending gusts of hot air to all corners of the room. Luo Yaoguo wiped the sweat from his forehead with a silk handkerchief, shook his head slightly, and said: "Mr. Nehru, Mr. Rewy, both of you claim to be for the sake of the Indian people, and both accuse each other of being traitors and enemies of the Indian people. Is that the only thing you both have in common? ”
"No!" Nehru snorted softly, "Our Congress Party and the Government of the Republic of India still want peace!" As he spoke, he glanced coldly at Luo Yaoguo, who had a straight face, gritted his teeth and said, "We, the Indian people, have always loved peace. We have never invaded anyone, conquered anyone. We just want a peaceful and stable life! ”
"That's because there are tens of thousands of Shudras and Dalits as slaves, and you Brahmin rulers don't need to amass wealth through external expansion." Lu Yi's tone was a little cold, he had long known that this so-called peace meeting was nothing more than a deceptive trick carried out by both sides in order to better prepare for war.
Nehru shook his head, and he exclaimed: "Our Congress Party and the government of the Republic are already trying to find a way to change caste discrimination!" Chapter 895 of the newly enacted Constitution of India had some 700,000 troops, of which the defense of the middle and upper Indus River was mainly the Indo-Muslim coalition under the control of Ma Bufang and his hands. The regular army has only about 100,000 troops, in addition to about 100,000 local Punjab and Baloch militias. The 500,000 men of India's Central Army are deployed in the middle and lower reaches of the Indus River. Heavy troops were deployed in Karachi and along the Indus River. ”
Zhou E came here and understood everything, what Luo Yaoguo showed him was actually the military deployment map of the Indian army! He didn't say much, but stared at the map, where the middle and lower reaches of the Indus River, from Shiram Yar Khan down, were densely packed with troop numbers and fortifications. The defenses of the middle reaches of the Indus are much more empty, and there seem to be many holes to drill! If Stalin had mastered the information on this map, he would have been able to find gaps in the Indian army's defenses and break through the "impregnable" Indus River defenses.
"This is the defense plan of the Indian government army? How do you know? Zhou Elai's tone was cold, as if he didn't care, but he was surprised in his heart. If the General Staff of the Wehrmacht can get the battle plan of the Indian puppet army to defend against Stalin, will it also be able to get it in the future? What about their operational plan for encircling and suppressing the revolutionary base areas?
"That's the rough plan, but the middle and upper Indus are very precise. As for the source of the information, I don't say you can guess a few points. Speaking of this, Luo Yaoguo paused, and said: "You can take this map back to India, as for whether you want to give it to Stalin, please consider it." With that, he took it personally, took off the map and stuffed it into Zhou Elai's hand
At this time, in the eastern part of Baluchistan, a long march was slowly advancing along the southern edge of a desert. Although the sun was scorching, there were gusts of hot wind from the depths of the desert that carried the sand. But the team looked a little disorganized, and the army was still rolling forward. Everyone was marching as hard as they could, and unlike in Persia, Stalin's Red Army was in a "Jedi", or more accurately, the 160,000 or 70,000 Red officers and soldiers and 50,000 or 60,000 dependents were in a desperate situation. There was no way out except to quickly pass through the desert, which was controlled by the savage Balochs. Now, if you fall behind, you will not fall into the hands of the good-hearted Russian empress, but become a prisoner of those barbarians! Men will become slaves, and women are, of course, those savages
And compared to 1 month ago. At present, the Soviet Red Army is more like a lost dog, and the uniforms of the officers and soldiers have long been tattered. Except for a few high-ranking officers who still had a decent tweed uniform, the others were all tattered and covered with holes and patches. And underneath this uniform is a frail torso that has been exhausted by days of marching and fighting and lack of provisions! And the main culprits of the current predicament of the Red Army are those barbarian Baloch people, and the way these barbarians deal with the Red Army is also very simple, that is, to clear the field with strong walls and guerrilla warfare! It was similar to Kutuzov's approach to Napoleon's army more than a hundred years ago. Maybe in Baluchistan, people here would have fought like this thousands of years ago! They moved their livestock, filled the wells, burned down their huts, and the entire tribe disappeared without a trace. Since Stalin's army entered the vast desert of Baluchistan. I have never encountered a few villages or oases with human activities, and after the supplies carried by the army are exhausted, they can only constantly send small teams of men and horses along the way to search for the hidden places of the Balochs, "requisitioning" food, of course, these teams sometimes bring back food, sometimes the whole team disappears without a trace, and more often they wander around the desert and find nothing. Returned empty-handed.
By July 8, 1939, the famine-stricken army was finally on the verge of leaving the seemingly endless region of Baluchistan! The affluent Sindh region seems to be right around the corner. At this time, a long telegram from Bhubaneswar in eastern India led to a heated debate among the top brass of the Soviet Red Army. The content of this telegram was the map of the Indian army that Luo Yaoguo had handed over to Zhou Elai, and the argument was about where the Soviet Red Army, which was in difficulty, should choose as the direction of their breakthrough.
General Zhukov, who was relied on by Stalin as a Great Wall, believed that the current situation of the Soviet Red Army was not suitable for a decisive battle with the Indian army. Therefore, the next stage of the Red Army should be to advance north to the middle and upper reaches of the Indus, find a suitable place to cross the river north of Multan, and enter the Punjab and Kashmir regions. It is possible to open up a revolutionary base on this territory backed by the Himalayas. Give the Red Army a chance to recuperate.
However, another senior Red Army general, Senior General Timosingh, believed that the most suitable area for the Red Army was the Sindh region in front of him. The Red Army should not be afraid of a decisive battle with the Indian army. If the great Soviet Red Army feared even the Indian army, what qualifications did it have to open up a base in the heart of India? This is India, after all. Not Russia! The Soviet Red Army would most likely be regarded as aggressors here, and there would be no way to survive except to fight their way out by force. If the Indian army had not been frightened, the Red Army would not have had a chance to recuperate. And now the Red Army's supplies and ammunition are in urgent need of replenishment, and it's okay to say what about supplies, but what about weapons and ammunition? Is there any other way than to seize the weapons and ammunition from the hands of the Indian army?
In addition, Timosingh also has a concern that most of the officers and soldiers of the so-called Muslim coalition army in northwest India are from Central Asia, and their weapons and equipment are provided by China, so their combat effectiveness is not weak! Although the number of people is small, once there is a conflict with the Soviet Red Army, it will not be able to win in a short time, and the Indian Central Army will go north to reinforce the Muslim coalition army, and finally it will become a decisive battle between the hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army and the enemy with 600,000 or 700,000 superiority!
On the contrary, if the Red Army were to engage in a decisive battle with the Indian Central Army, the Muslim coalition in India would never have come to the aid of their Central Army, regardless of the outcome of the war. The battle will be between 160,000 and 70,000 Red Army against 500,000 Indian Central Army, regardless of the huge difference in strength between the two sides, but the Red Army's chance of victory is not small. Because the Red Army has already obtained the opponent's troop deployment map in advance! You can take advantage of the weakness of the opponent who needs to disperse and arm a large area, and break them down one by one! Then establish a base in the Sindh region of the lower Indus River.
