In view of the fact that the Russians had already gathered a large number of troops in the border areas of Hailanpao and Manchuria, Qiao Anbang immediately ordered the Second Army and the Third Army of the Army to quickly assemble from Changchun and Shenyang to Hulunbuir Manchuria.

Join up with the special operations division that had already left for Hulunbuir, and at the same time order the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army to reinforce the Sixth Army in Aihui.

Prepare for war against Russia.

In addition, the Seventh Army was to be stationed in various parts of the Northeast, and the Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Armies were to be retained as reserves.

The four flying regiments of the Second Air Force Division were also stationed in Hulunbei, Hailar, and Nenjiang, Heilongjiang as air force advance bases to facilitate the support of the ground forces in Manchuria, Heihe, Aihui, and other places.

……………………………… On March 1, the 28th year of the Republic of China, the Russian army once again increased tens of thousands of troops in Manchuria and Hailanpao, so far the total strength of the Russian army in the Far East has reached 500,000.

Among them, there were more than 300,000 front-line troops, including 200,000 in Mongolia, 150,000 in Hailanpao and the surrounding areas, and another 50,000 on guard in the direction of Vladivostok, ready to attack the remnants of the Kwantung Army entrenched there and recapture Vladivostok.

Stalon (Harmony) was named after the commander of the First Army of the Mongolian Army. Konstantinovich. Zhukov was the commander-in-chief of the Southern Front (that is, in the Mongolian direction).

Responsible for dealing with the hundreds of thousands of Qiao family troops gathered in Manchuria.

On the northern front, that is, the areas north of Heilongjiang such as Hailanpao and Vladivostok, Vasilevsky was the commander-in-chief, and the subordinate units were organized into the Northern Front Army.

In terms of local total strength, Qiao's army has an advantage, but when it is actually deployed to the front line, the strength of the two sides is almost the same.

Qiao's army deployed two army groups and another special operations division on the Hulunbuir grassland.

There are seven integrated army divisions and two armored divisions, totaling about 160,000 people.

In Mongolia, the Russian army has deployed three tank brigades, eight infantry divisions, four cavalry brigades, six reading artillery regiments, and one air force division, with a total of more than 500 tanks, all of which are Soviet-style tank fighting vehicles such as T34 and T28.

There are more than 2,000 large and small artillery pieces, more than 500 air force fighters, and a total strength of about 200,000 troops.

The Soviet army has an advantage in terms of the number of fighters in the air force, but their tanks and fighters are not as good as the German ones equipped by Qiao's army, so the basic strength of the two sides is roughly equal.

On the northern front, the Soviet army of 150,000 troops was deployed in depth along the north bank of the Heilongjiang River, with Hailanpao as the main front-line defense area.

The Soviet army on the Northern Front had nine infantry divisions, two tank and armored brigades, more than 300 vehicles, more than 400 aircraft, and two artillery divisions directly under it.

The Russian army on the northern front is slightly weaker than the southern front, but the artillery is much stronger.

Compared with the Russian army, the north is weak and the south is strong, and the Qiao family army is just the opposite.

In addition to the three integrated divisions and one armored division of the Sixth Group Army of Heihe, Aihui and Nenjiang, Qiao Anbang transferred the Fourth and Fifth Group Armies, a total of six integrated army divisions and two Reading Armored Divisions, to the south bank of the Heilongjiang River.

So far, Qiaojia's army has assembled troops on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River with three group armies, nine army integrated divisions, and three directly subordinate armored divisions, with a strength of more than 240,000.

A reinforced flight regiment of the 2nd Air Force Division has also established an air force forward base in Nenjiang and can take off at any time to provide support.

On March 2, Qiao's army was ready, and in order to facilitate direct command of the operation, Qiao Anbang led the guard brigade to Qiqihar to command Qiaojia's army to fight against Russia on the north and south fronts.

Qiqihar Qiaojia Army Front Headquarters.

More than a dozen combat staff officers gathered around the map and marked out the detailed map of the situation of the forces of the enemy and us.

Qiao Anbang stood in front of the map with one hand on his arm and smoking a cigarette, and a large group of combat staff officers surrounded him like a moon and stars behind him.

Judging from the map, Qiao's army and the Russian army have reached the point of-for-tat and sabre-rattling, and the front-line defense areas of the two sides are less than 30 miles apart.

In the endless steppe, a distance of fifteen kilometers is not a distance at all for the Qiao family army and the Russian army, which are very powerful.

In the blink of an eye, the air forces of both sides were able to fly into each other's airspace to bomb them.

"Headquarters, our five group armies and another special operations division have all arrived in the predetermined area, and all integrated divisions are ready for all battles and can attack the Russians at any time." Next to the operational map, a senior operational staff officer of a major general pointed to the map with a command pole and reported and analyzed.

"Well, everything is ready, it's almost east wind now." Qiao Anbang nodded with a determined face, and said meaningfully.

A group of operational staff officers looked at each other, they didn't know what the east wind Qiao Anbang was referring to.

"Immediately in my name, I will send a telegram to the leader of the Russians, Stalon, that the whole of Siberia, including the Ussuri River, Sakhalin Island, Vladivostok, Usuyalitai, Tangnu-Ulianghai, Trans-Khingan Mountains and Lake Belga, are all part of our inherent Chinese territory.

The Treaty of Aihui and the Treaty of Yanjing, signed by the Qing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, are null and void from the moment onward, and within 10 days from the date of the issuance of this circular, the Russian side should immediately withdraw from the territory of our country, otherwise we will take decisive measures and do not rule out the use of force to settle the problem. Qiao Anbang said with a calm face and a calm tone.

When his voice fell, the combat staff officers present suddenly changed color, and they all gasped.

Not to mention whether the Russians would agree to retreat, even if they did, it would be impossible for them to withdraw from the Far East within ten days.

This is clearly to find faults, and it is difficult for strong people.

Yes, the purpose of Joanbang's seemingly extremely unreasonable announcement was to find a pretext for going to war.

As for whether it is suitable or not, Qiao Anbang doesn't care at all, the battle has reached this point, Qiao Anbang understands that the truth will always be built under the fist.

Whoever has enough aircraft, tanks, and artillery will have the possibility of reasoning with the other side if their ground forces capture all the disputed areas.

Promoting peace through war is the truth.

Historically, the reason why the Russians have always been reluctant to admit that they have invaded the territory of China is because of their strong national strength and their military strength has thrown China off several streets.

In this regard, China can only swallow its anger, because they are poor and white, and they still have to rely on the breath of others to build a desolate land of China that has been burned by the flames of war.

Qiao Anbang had only one wish at this time, to exhaust his life's energy to help China regain its inherent territory, to create a vast and boundless living space for future generations, so that future generations would no longer have to be controlled by others for oil, natural gas and other strategic materials.

Before the operational staff officers came to their senses, Qiao Anbang said in an astonishing voice: "Immediately send a telegram to the German Führer Hitler and tell him that our agreement will take effect immediately from this moment." ”

…………………………………… In Berlin, Germany, when Goering rushed to the mustache's office with the telegram he had just received from the East.

The mustache was reviewing the documents and looked up and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, Qiao Anbang sent an urgent telegram from the East, please take a look." Goering resisted his excitement and handed the message to the mustache.

The mustache took the telegram suspiciously, looked at it hurriedly, was stunned at first, then overjoyed, slapped the table with a pipe in his mouth, and coldly ordered Goering: "Immediately carry out the Barbarossa plan against the Soviet Union, and warn all the Germanic warriors to use their bravery to destroy the despicable Soviets and establish a powerful Germanic Empire!" Long live the Germanic peoples, long live the German Empire! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." Goering saluted with great excitement, and then turned and took his orders.

Compared with history, because the German army did not launch an attack on Britain and France, the German army at this time gathered much more troops on the Soviet-German border than at the time of the implementation of the historical Barbarossa plan.

Historically, when the German army attacked the Soviet Union with a blitzkrieg, Hitler gathered a total of 10,000 troops, and this time, the ambitious Hitler gathered 6.5 million troops in one go.

Among them, the number of air force fighters and tanks is also greater than in history, and in terms of surname Neng, thanks to the help of Joan Bang, the German army has been equipped with a large number of improved No. 4 tanks in advance.

There are also a considerable number of Tiger and Leopard tanks, and in terms of air force fighters, the German army is already superior to the Russian army, and Joanbang did not provide Hitler with more advanced fighter prototypes or drawings.

…………………… As Qiao Anbang expected, when Qiao Anbang's aggressive, almost too deceitful announcement telegram reached Sta Long's hands.

Stalong, who had always been bullish and coaxing, only taking advantage of the situation and not suffering losses, suddenly became furious, and immediately issued a telegram, strongly condemning the circular refuting Qiao Anbang.

He also stated that he would never bow to Qiao Anbang, let alone return the so-called territory of China.

Secretly, Stalon gave orders to Zhukov and other commanders in the Far East, asking them to immediately prepare for battle and fight, and be ready to teach Qiao's army a tragic lesson at any time, and swear to defend the territorial integrity and security of Russia's inherent territory in the Far East and its loyal ally (Mongolia).

After receiving Stalong's strong response, Qiao Anbang smiled silently, and at ten points on the evening of March 5, he suddenly ordered Qiao's army deployed in Manchuria, Heihe and other places to immediately attack and attack the Russian army opposite.

After receiving the order, the BF109 group, the main fighter of the air force in Hailar and Nenjiang, immediately took off overnight, covering a large number of light and heavy bombers, and the Skatu dive bomber group flew towards the defense line of the Russian army's northern and southern fronts under the cover of night.

The two groups of hybrid bombers flew to the Russian air bases in Mongolia and northern Heilongjiang almost at the same time, and launched devastating bombing strikes against the Russian air bases.

In the dark night, the Russian fighters could not take off to meet the enemy, and could only be bombed and strafed.

At the same time, a powerful artillery group composed of more than a dozen artillery regiments of the 234th Army of Qiao's Army in Manchuria also began to launch artillery strikes on Russian positions.

In addition, more than a dozen tank armored regiments drawn from various integrated divisions, together with three reading armored divisions, and more than 2,000 tank fighting vehicles, formed a powerful assault group to bypass the Russian army's frontal defense line in Manchuria.

Advance into the depths of the Russian army in Mongolia.

At the same time, the artillery of the Qiao family army, such as Aihui and Heihe, took the lead in attacking, and then the attacking troops that had already been prepared began to attack the north bank in thousands of landing craft and rubber boats.

After Zhukov and Vasilevsky received the news that the front line was being attacked, in a hurry, they immediately ordered all units of the Russian army to resolutely return fire.

But an even worse news came, their air force forward bases deployed in Mongolia and the Hailan Pao region were suddenly attacked by the Qiaojia Army Air Force at night.

Thousands of warplanes and thousands of pilots have suffered heavy losses, more than half of them have lost their combat capability.

After losing air supremacy, the tank units of the Russian army were also besieged by the tank armored assault cluster of the Qiaojia Army, and the Russian T34 tank was not at all the opponent of the Tiger and Leopard tanks, and the tank armored battle between the two sides turned into a one-sided massacre.

By dawn, several of Zhukov's tank brigades were almost completely wiped out, and at the same time, the front-line infantry defensive positions were also heavily bombarded by the Qiaojia Army Air Force.

Especially the Skatu dive bombers, their precise dive bombing, posed a great threat to the Russian army.

Because the armored troops of Qiao's army had already made a roundabout assault to the rear of the Russian army, the Russian army was under the enemy's back, and the fierce battle lasted until the afternoon, and finally the whole line was defeated.

The 200,000 Russian troops were defeated like a mountain, the armored assault units and aviation units of the Qiaojia Army bombed and intercepted with all their might, and more than 100,000 troops on the ground poured out of the nest and launched a full-line pursuit.

In just six hours, the armored units of Qiao's army on the southern front advanced to the outskirts of Ulabaatar.

Zhukov was forced to lead a group of command personnel, in the remnants of armored cars, to a hasty retreat in the direction of the Tangnu-Ulianghai.

In the early morning of the next day, the 3rd Army of Qiao's army officially captured Ulaanbaatar and cleared the remnants of the Russian army in the city.

The 2nd Army and the 4th Army, with the cooperation of the armored assault forces, continued to advance in a long drive, pursuing and advancing in the direction of Tangnu Ulianghai and Nebuchu.

On the battlefield of the northern front, after seizing air supremacy, the Qiaojia Army of the three group armies, under the cover of their own air force and heavy artillery fire, successfully crossed the river and Heilongjiang, captured Hailanpao in the early morning, and at ten o'clock in the morning, the first part of the 6th Group Army had already broken through to Suchuna.

In order to facilitate the support of the ground forces to continue to expand the results of the battle and pursue the Russian army, Qiao Anbang ordered the 2nd Air Division of Nenjiang and Hailar to immediately move forward to Ulaanbaatar and Hailanpao.

These two sites were used as air bases to support the ground forces in pursuit operations.

…………………… In the battles of capturing Hailanpao and Ulaanbaatar, Qiao's army captured a large number of Mongolian puppet troops and Russian troops, and commanders at all levels at the front did not carry out a policy of wanton slaughter as they did with the Yue army because they did not receive clear instructions.

The news was fed back to Qiqihar, and after Qiao Anbang learned about it, he immediately instructed: "For the Russian prisoners of war captured in Hailanpao and other places, in order to avoid accidents, they should be secretly executed." ”

"Boss, isn't it too cruel to massacre Russian prisoners of war in such a large number? After all, they are not the same as the beasts. Wang Gensheng, the commander of the guard brigade at the time, said a little unbearably on the side.

"Cruel?" Qiao Anbang snorted coldly and said, "Gensheng, I don't know if you have heard of the Jiangdong 64tun tragedy and the Hailan Pao tragedy?" ”

"Nope." Wang Gensheng shook his head.

"Then let me briefly tell you, the Hailan Pao captured by our army on the northern front in the early morning is my inherent territory of China, and there were also a large number of Chinese aborigines living there, and then the Qing political axe [***] was incompetent, and was forced to cede Hailan Pao and other places, those aborigines disappeared, and now Hailan Pao has no Chinese, do you know what's going on?" Qiao Anbang asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, don't you?" Wang Gensheng shook his head uncertainly.

"They were all slaughtered by the fierce and cruel Russians, from the seventy or eighty-year-old old people to the infants, thousands of Chinese, none of them were spared!

At that time, they forcibly arrested and drove our Chinese aborigines, and drove them to the Heilongjiang River, regardless of men, women, old and children, those who turned back at the slightest were immediately added with knives and axes, and some mothers knelt down and begged to throw their children on the shore, hoping that the Russians would let his children live, but in exchange for bayonets to pick up her children, and then cut them into pieces in front of her. ”

Qiao Anbang said this, looked at Wang Gensheng, who was already red in his eyes and clenched his fists, and said: "What I said is just the tip of the iceberg, do you think the Russians should be killed?" ”

"Blood debt and blood repayment, Boss, there is a request from the lowly position, I want to go to Hailan Pao to personally direct this debt collection operation." Wang Gensheng's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth.

"Well, I agree." Qiao Anbang nodded without thinking, and then said meaningfully: "Gensheng, after the war, I plan to immigrate 300,000 from the Northeast to Hailan Pao, and I don't want my compatriots to live with Lao Maozi in the future." ”

"Please rest assured, I understand that from today onwards, Hailan Pao will only belong to China, and only to my territory of China." Wang Gensheng saluted, and then turned to leave.

After Wang Gensheng left, Qiao Anbang called the communications chief Yali again and instructed: "Immediately order the 7th and 8th armies to reinforce our assault groups on the southern and northern fronts in two ways, and at the same time order the special operations division to immediately parachute into Lake Belga, cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway, and block the retreat of the Russians." ”

"Yes!" Yali did not hesitate to carry it out, and immediately turned around and left as ordered.

On 7 March, within two days, Qiao's army had completely recovered a large area of land in Wusu Yalitai and the Outer Khing'an Mountains, and the more than 500,000 troops of the seven group armies, divided into several routes, launched a continuous pursuit along the Trans-Siberian Railway in the direction of Lake Berga with tank and armored units as the forerunner.

At the same time, Qiao Anbang sent a telegram to Li Yifeng, commander-in-chief of the First Group Army of the DPRK, ordering him to immediately launch an attack on Vladivostok and to transfer two divisions of the Ninth Army into the DPRK to take over the defense of the First Army.

The Russian army was routed on all fronts, and the 50,000 Kwantung Army, which was entrenched in Vladivostok, learned about it, and immediately fled and withdrew in the direction of Sakhalin.

Li Yifeng commanded more than 80,000 troops of the First Army's three integrated divisions and one reading armored division, and 50,000 Russian troops deployed in the direction of Vladivostok on the Russian side.

Neither side had air support, and the fierce fighting was fierce at first, but as the battle progressed, the superiority of the First Army in strength and equipment, especially in armored vehicles and tanks, gradually became apparent.
