344 The Russo-Japanese War Eight Helps

The thought of going to war with the mighty imperialism of Ben could not help but blame the damned Koreans! Armed defense of the USSR or something is a slogan! Just shout the slogan...... How did you really go to assassinate Emperor Samoto? Besides, the thorn will be stabbed, but after the stab, the whole world will be yelling! It also publicly claimed that it had accepted the instructions of GC International...... Do these guys have a sense of secrecy? Now it's okay, one assassination, another shouting, how can those devils not declare war? This is a slap in the face! Otherwise, after the declaration of war, I will have no face in the world...... It's just that he has suffered as the leader of the world revolution, the greatest Marxist-Leninist of our time! This kind of thing to wipe the ass of the world revolution has to be done by the Soviet people! It seems that in the future, this slogan will not be able to be shouted as you like.

Stalin shook his head, smiled bitterly, and lifted the phone: "I am Stalin, inform the three comrades Voroshilov, Tukhachevsky, and Budyonny to come to the Kremlin immediately, and I want to meet them." ”

In a short time, the three leading figures of the Soviet Red Army hurried to Stalin's office, and one by one stood respectfully and solemnly and saluted Stalin.

Stalin also smiled and nodded, looking at the three people standing in front of him with a peaceful gaze. Voroshilov is still that flattering and honest look. Budyonny has an exaggerated mustache that rises high...... At first glance, he looks like an outdated figure, and it doesn't look like this if he sits on the throne of the great leader of the Soviet Union? This Tukhachevsky is ...... Born in the aristocracy, with a standard military posture, he was also tall and handsome, especially those eyes full of wisdom and sharpness, which looked a bit like the eyes of Lenin and Trotsky! You have to be careful with this guy.

Stalin stood up, walked forward and shook hands with the three Red Army generals, then pointed to a row of sofas next to his desk, and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk." Instead, he picked up a baton and walked to the huge military map hanging on the wall, pointing to Vladivostok on the map: "Vladivostok and Sakhalin (Sakhalin) North Island, these two places must be the main targets of this imperialist invasion!" Since the time of the Tsars, we have been building all kinds of fortresses and fortifications in Vladivostok, which is now the most impregnable fortress in the world, and I believe that if there are enough troops to defend it...... Even if the devil bleeds the last drop of blood, there is no way to knock it down!! ”

Speaking of this, Stalin's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the baton in his hand pointed at Sakhalin again: "But I find the defense of our Sakhalin North Island very worrying. Imperialism has the third largest naval fleet in the world, and Sakhalinnan is still in the hands of Sakhalin! If they attack Sakhalin's North Island using the mode of joint naval and land operations, will they be able to hold it with the strength we have there now? ”

Hearing Stalin's question, the Chief of Staff of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, Tukhachevsky, immediately stood up and replied: "Comrade Stalin, the General Staff of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army believes that the Far Eastern Front is currently insufficient to defend all important targets, so we want to temporarily abandon Sakhalin. The main forces were deployed in the easternmost section of the Vladivostok and Trans-Siberian railway lines in order to defend the rear route of Vladivostok and to mobilize troops in time to counter the landing operations launched by the Primorsky Invaders. As for Sakhalin, it can be ...... after the reinforcements arrive."

"No! Sakhalin cannot be abandoned! Not even an inch! Stalin's rudeness interrupted Tukhachevsky's speech, and he waved his baton heavily and roared: "How can the General Staff of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army come up with a plan to abandon Sakhalin!" Don't you know that this time my main target is the oil fields of Sakhalin? And...... Don't you know that Sakhalin, it's an island? And our Red Navy is so weak, if Sakhalin is completely occupied by yourself, how are you going to recover it? Swim across the Tatar Strait or walk over the ice at the coldest time of winter? ”

Tukhachevsky frowned and nodded slightly: "Our plan is to wait until winter, when the ice in the Tatar Strait is at its thickest around Christmas, and let the infantry walk over the ice to counterattack Sakhalin......"

"But before that, I have more than half a year to consolidate the defenses on Sakhalin! Moreover, the ice period of the Tatar Strait is only a short period of more than two months, and not every day of these two months can be safely passed. Comrade Tukhachevsky, do you think that the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army will be able to recapture the entire island of Sakhalin in less than two months? Do you know how difficult it is to attack the enemy in the harsh winter of Sakhalin? If our army can't end the war before the sea thaws...... Then they'll have to go back! ”

Stalin's face became more and more ugly, and the iron was almost black. In his opinion, the Soviet Union's land superiority was enormous, and even if the entire Far Eastern coastal region was lost, as soon as reinforcements from the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army arrived, it would not be long before they could be recaptured. But Sakhalin is different, it's an island after all! Although the sea freezes for more than two months of the year, you can drive a car on it. But it was only two months...... If Sakhalin is abandoned now, he will have seven months to consolidate the defense of Sakhalin.

"But...... Comrade Stalin, our Far Eastern Front now has only 100,000 people. It is also necessary to allocate a part of the forces to protect the railway line to Vladivostok. The railway surrounded the Manchurian border, and the situation there was so complicated that any accident could happen...... "Tukhachevsky just frowned and poured bitter water, to be honest, Stalin's words were also very reasonable, once Sakhalin Island was captured by the Chinese army, it would not be so easy to take it back. But if Sakhalin is not abandoned now, then there will not be enough troops in the Far East?

As soon as Tukhachevsky's reasoning was laid out, there was silence in the room. The current problem is one, the lack of troops is too insufficient! 100,000 people have to defend thousands of kilometers of railway lines, thousands of kilometers of coastline, and Sakhalin and Vladivostok!

The air in the room was as silent as death, Stalin, Voroshilov, Tukhachevsky, Budyonny, the four of them, you look at me, I look at you, everyone is helpless.

I don't know how long it took for the honest Voroshilov to break the silence: "Comrade Stalin, I have a proposal. In order to ensure the safety of the railway line, we do not need to fortify everywhere, and the most important thing is to blockade the Sino-Soviet border area. And the closure of the border did not have to be on the side of the USSR...... It can also be on the Chinese side. Now that the Chinese Red Army controls a large part of the Sino-Soviet border, as long as they help us to block the border at that end, won't the Red Army in the Far East save a lot of troops to strengthen the defense of Sakhalin? ”

…… This is the case in the late twenties of the twentieth century. After decades of militaristic education and the accumulation of national power, the country is now more or less a resolute and efficient war machine. When the explosion outside Sakurada Gate sounded, the Soviet Union was still in a state of unpreparedness, but the war system began to run rapidly at the first time.

At the same time that the Soviet Union declared war, the Vladivostok Dispatch Army Headquarters was established in Hiroshima. The commander was General Muto Nobuyoshi, the former commander of the Kwantung Army.

The first group to be incorporated into the Vladivostok Dispatch Army was the famous Sendai 2nd Division and the Hirosaki 8th Division, both of which were among the 17 standing divisions of the Hiromoto. Among them, the Second Division was the most effective unit in the Chinese army, and it had performed well in the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russian War, so it was given the code name "Yong". The code name of the 8th Division was "Shan", and the soldiers of this division were all from the northernmost cold region of Yuben. Historically, because of the harsh cold-tolerant training, the Hakkoda snow march was killed, and 199 people were frozen to death! I don't know how many people will freeze to death when they go back to the Soviet Far East coastal operation?

The wharf at Hiroshima Ujina Port was full of cargo ships and merchant ships, all of which had been urgently requisitioned, all of which had already been raised and fired, and a flurry of whistles sounded staggered.

On the wharf, it was full of neat columns of soldiers wearing khaki military uniforms, these short and stocky soldiers were waiting in silent formations with rifles on their shoulders and backpacks on their backs. Everywhere there was a surge of military hats and bayonets. When the complacent officers met each other, they were all murderous and awe-inspiring greetings of "long military luck". On the dock, there was an air of slaughter.

"Muto-kun, I wish Wuyun a long ......"

Standing on the rooftop of the Vladivostok Dispatch Army Headquarters where the dock could be seen, Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka bent down slightly at Muto Nobuyoshi beside him, and said with a serious expression: "This expedition to Russia is related to the rise and fall of the imperial state, I hope that all the monarchs will work hard, and we must not let the great cause created by the Meiji Emperor be ruined in the hands of our generation!" ”

Muto Nobuyoshi hurriedly bowed down solemnly and returned the salute, and also said: "I am determined to live up to the trust of Your Majesty and the people, and I will definitely let the Soviet Union bow to the feet of the Imperial Army." ”

Tanaka nodded and smiled: "Muto-kun, do you think this battle will go well?" He was asking, but he had a confident smile on his face and seemed to have answered the question.

Muto Nobuyoshi was silent for a moment, and finally replied: "The Soviet Union has insufficient troops in the Far East, and it will not be difficult to defeat them...... Your Excellency, I fear that the Soviet Union, after its initial defeat, will not rest on its laurels, and with their national strength, if ......"

"Protracted war?" Yoshiichi Tanaka asked softly.

He said that his country is small and has poor resources, and he has always been the most reluctant to fight a protracted war. Yoshiichi Tanaka, who is well versed in strategy, is naturally well aware of this. Fortunately, in this war between the Soviet Union, Yueben was supported by Britain, the United States, France and other powers. After all, the Soviet Union's support for the assassination of Emperor Komoto by the Korean GCD also terrified these imperialist countries. Now it is the North Korean GCD that drops a bomb on Emperor Saimoto, will it be the Indian GCD that drops a bomb on the British King in the future? Could it be that the Philippine GCD is going to bomb the president of the United States? Or was the French Prime Minister assassinated by the Vietnamese GCD? Such assassinations and terrorist incidents have indeed touched the bottom line of tolerance in all countries, and the socialist system of the Soviet Union has also been hated by the imperialist powers. Several factors were superimposed, and a large number of strategic materials from Europe and the United States were finally shipped to the capital after being re-exported through Shanghai (to circumvent the neutrality laws of various countries).

Muto Nobuyoshi nodded and sighed lightly: "Your Excellency, there is no doubt about the initial victory of the Emperor [***] team, but Your Excellency must make good use of these victories to end the war as soon as possible." If we really wait until the Soviet troops are constantly transferred from Europe, if we want to end the war with dignity, I am afraid it will be ......"

"Then the most important thing is to prevent the Soviet Union from using the railway to quickly mobilize reinforcements!" Tanaka glanced at the northwest sky and muttered to himself.

...... "this...... How is this possible! ”

Zhou Elai sat in front of his desk, holding a telegram sent by GC International to Zhongg in his hand, and looked at it carefully over and over again. This was the supreme instruction of Comrade Stalin, who really vetoed the plan of the Sino-G. and the Kuomintang to seize the Northeast!! He also instructed Zhong G to go to Sichuan to launch an uprising...... Isn't this just going to provoke a civil war with the Kuomintang?

At present, the rule of the Kuomintang in South China has been stabilized, and although the land contradictions are still very prominent, the people's living standards are indeed gradually improving. In particular, there has been a considerable improvement in the living standards of the people in Sichuan, and the Kuomintang has now exempted Sichuan from paying three years of land taxes, eliminated and expelled the warlords who had been causing trouble in Sichuan for many years, and divided its troops to suppress bandits, eradicate tobacco seedlings, and strictly prohibit opium, thus returning the people of Sichuan to a relatively stable environment. In this case, go to Sichuan to launch an uprising, especially rely on warlords like Liu Wenhui and Deng Xihou, who have plagued Sichuan for many years, to revolt! This...... How is it possible? Did Stalin really have bad intentions when he did this? I want to be with him...... Partition of China!!

Thinking of this, Zhou Elai's hand shook, and the copy of the telegram fell to the desktop. Looking at the face of this Zhongg god again, his face was almost black, and his eyebrows with thick eyebrows were tightly twisted.

"Comrade Elai, we ...... Do you want to review the mistakes internationally? Liu Sqi, who was sitting opposite Zhou Elai, also knew the content of the telegram, and his face was also not good-looking, but it was more gentle than Zhou Elai.

After all, he is not the core figure of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and he does not have to be responsible for the two big hats of so-called "right-leaning opportunism" and "right-leaning capitulationism...... In fact, Zhou Elai and Mao ZD are not afraid of GC International's accusations now. The Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was created by the two of them in this time and space! With the military power in hand, GC International has nothing to do with them, most of the unlucky ones this time are Qu Qbai, who let him have no army?

"Review?" Zhou Elai took a deep breath. Pick up the telegram sent by GC International and flick it lightly, then throw it into a ball of contempt and throw it into a corner. Liu Sqi, who was shocked, was stunned, and raised his head in surprise: "E come!" ”

Zhou Elai unhurriedly took out another GC International cipher from his pocket, spread it out on the desk, and said coldly: "These Russians don't look at who is asking for help now!" If you want us to help them guard the border and prevent the agents from going in and destroying the railway, you have to ...... We reviewed, it's funny. Comrade S Qi, you go and give it to ...... right away The Red Third Front sent a telegram ordering them to tightly control the Sino-Soviet border and not allow anyone to cross the border into the USSR! ”

"Oh." Liu Siqi sighed softly, picked up the pen and wrote Zhou Elai's dictated words into a telegram, and then hurriedly ran out, leaving Zhou Elai alone to sit there in a daze.

This time, Stalin actually entrusted the task of blocking the border near the Great and Lesser Khingan Mountains to the Chinese Red Army...... And it mainly depends on the Second Route Army of the Red Third Front! The true identity of this so-called "Red Army" is clear. He looked at Liu Siqi's distant back, and there was a little schadenfreude in his heart, and he really wanted to see what Stalin's expression was after knowing that the Trans-Siberian railway line was destroyed?

…… Wan Yanhao also rarely put on a military uniform today, a straight tweed military uniform, with a shiny colonel rank, and an indescribable pride on his face! After this victory in Manchuria, there are naturally a lot of personnel to be promoted, the first one is Luo Yaoguo, who has already set the rank of marshal, and the rank of the Kuomintang in this time and space is imitating Germany to a certain extent, so there is a rank of marshal. The first batch of marshals has already set four people: Chiang Kai-shek, Xu Chongzhi, Luo Yaoguo, and Sa Zhenbing. Most of the officers of the 18th Division who participated in the war were also promoted, and even Wan Yanhao, who did not go to the battlefield but only engaged in intelligence in the back, was also wiped out, and was promoted to colonel at a young age, which is one step away from the rank of general.

"Fugong, what should we do about this?" The jubilant Wan Yanhao was holding an urgent telegram from Wang Zhongyi in the Great Xing'an Mountains. It informed them of the Soviet Union's order to seal the borders tightly and not allow anyone to enter or leave.

Luo Yaoguo's eyes flashed, and he sneered: "It seems that the Soviet Union has to hand over a large section of the border to the Chinese Red Army to take care of because of its lack of troops. But...... After all, the Chinese Red Army is not as regular as the Soviet Red Army, and the personnel review is not strict, so it is inevitable that there will be a traitor, right? Besides, the border line in the Daxinganling area is more than 1,000 kilometers, and it is normal to be secretly crossed by a special force of the Chinese army, Wen Qiang, don't you say? ”

Wan Yanhao hurriedly responded: "What the assistant said is that I just remembered that I made an appointment with Kenji Dohihara for lunch today, so I will leave first, please bear with me." ”
