Chapter 349: The First Battle in Harbin

Chapter 349: The First Battle of Harbin

Just as Tu Qianjun's troops left Outer Mongolia, the commander of the Soviet Far East Army, Blyukher, met with a Mongolian man from Outer Mongolia.

He crossed the border with a dozen men with him, and informed the Soviet defenders on the border that their commander had asked them to come and deliver a message to the commander of the army group. Upon hearing this news, the border garrisons did not dare to slack off and hurriedly took them to the headquarters on Lake Belga.

Blyukhel's headquarters office was extremely simple, just a simple barracks, with a table and a few chairs randomly placed in the barracks. And those battle maps and sand tables and the like are all placed in the war room.

In fact, Blyukhel's most frequent place was the war room, and the headquarters office was nothing more than a place for him to meet guests.

The leaders of the Northeast Army had been taken to his office by the guards, and Blyukher, who had come with Chuikov, smiled at the slightly tall Mongolian man in front of him.

"I am the commander of the Soviet Far East Army, Blyukhel, I heard that your commander has a letter to me?!" Then he saw that Blyukhel was dressed in a simple Soviet military uniform, and smiled at the man: "Then, you can hand it over to me now." ”

Blyukhel once came to China under the pseudonym Gallen because he could speak Chinese, and Chuikov took the letter and opened it directly to Blyukhel and read it.

"Commander of the Far Eastern Army Group Blyukhel:

I know you are deeply concerned about the Battle of Harbin, and in fact so do I. I have spoken to Acting Commander-in-Chief Chuikov that I look forward to seeing each other again, whether in arms or side by side.

It's a pity that some bed bugs came at home and I had to go back to deal with them, and I put them down for the time being. If you want to come in, come in. I'll be back with you after I've cleaned up those bugs.

What I'm telling you is: if you decide to come in, it won't end so easily as it does in Harbin! Anyone has to pay for what they have done!

Whether it's the bugs, or you, or myself. You have the right to wage war, of course! The right to end is in my hands! Or maybe you expect me to be defeated by the bugs!

Commander of China's Northeast Defense Forces: Tu Qianjun! ”

Chuikov's face turned blue with the wild tone of the letter, but Blyukhel was not so angry. smiled at the Mongolian man in front of him and said, "Is this what your commander meant?!" Has he already broken away from the Northeast Army?! ”

The Mongolian man smiled when he heard Blyukhel's words, and then said in a deep voice: "Our commander has sent a telegram to the whole country, explaining that he will break away from the Northeast Frontier Army and form the Northeast Defense Army. And explained that from now on, any actions of our Northeast Defense Forces will have nothing to do with the Republic of China and the Northeast Border Guards! ”

As he spoke, the man squinted at Blyukhel and Chuikov and whispered, "Our commander asked me to tell you a word."

"If friends come, treat each other with good wine! If the jackal comes, I have a steel gun!! ”

Chuikov could hear the Mongolian man's fierce face change several times, while Blyukher's face did not change at all. Still smiling, he said, "You can go back, tell your commander and say that I received the letter......"

As he spoke, he asked the guards to send the Mongolian man down. And the Mongolian man didn't say anything, and gave a military salute to Blyukhel and Chuikov! Then he walked out of the office with solemn steps.

Seeing that the Mongolian man had gone out, Chuikov shouted at Blyukhel with a calm face: "Commander! They are so arrogant! It's so arrogant! It's just that they beat us by luck in Harbin, how can they be so arrogant?! ”

Blyukhel still smiled faintly when he heard Chuikov's words, and then whispered to Chuikov: "Report this matter to Moscow and ask for instructions from Moscow." ”

Chuikov couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Blyukhel's words, and seeing that Chuikov was a little stunned, Blyukhel smiled and said: "No matter what this commander says, for us, we should go to war." If you don't want to go to war, then stop. Chuikov my friend! Don't let emotions sway your thinking, learn to eliminate emotional distractions! This is very important for a command staff! ”

When Chuikov heard this, he knew that Blyukhel was instructing him! Then he gave a military salute to Blyukhel gratefully and replied in a deep voice: "Yes!!" ”

Then he hurried down and sent a telegram to Moscow. Blyukher, who was in the headquarters office, after Chuikov left, looked out the window in the direction of Outer Mongolia, which was extremely complicated.

If Blyukhel's mood is complicated, and Chuikov is angry, then now the Kwantung Army troops on the banks of the Songhua River want to cry.

Almost all the things here were handed over to Zhang Jinghui, a veteran of the Feng family who recovered from his injuries after the Zhang Zuolin incident, which was also a way to reassure Zhang Xueliang. After all, at that time, Junzi still thought that the young marshal would be able to "rise up", but he didn't expect that the young marshal would still be impotent.

At this time, Ma Zhanshan, Li Du and Ding Chao, who originally belonged to the anti-Japanese team, all fell apart. Ding Chao thought that he could not be defeated after seeing the powerful firepower of the Japanese army, so he simply chose to throw himself. and led the troops to cooperate with Shen Cheng to launch an attack on Ma Zhanshan and others!

The commander of the 24th Brigade, Li Du and Ma Zhanshan, had to withdraw from Harbin without foreign aid due to heavy losses. and was chased and killed by the Japanese army and the deployment of Yu Shencheng, Zhang Haipeng and Ding Chao!

If it hadn't been for the fight on the Nenjiang Bridge and finally repelled their attack, perhaps the troops of these two men would have faced the result of being annihilated. But even now their situation is not much better, the two now have a combined force of less than 10,000 men, exhausted from continuous combat and have lost ammunition and supplies.

And Qi Muden's ability to occupy Qiqihar so smoothly also has something to do with the fact that all the large troops went into the mountains to try to exterminate Ma Zhanshan and their troops. At that time, the puppet army stationed in Qiqihar City was only more than 2,000 people with extremely poor fighters, and fell without reacting under the fierce attack of the Second Army, which had heavy artillery and nearly 20,000 troops.

When Qi Muden entered Harbin City, it was the time when the Second Army and those garrisoned Japanese troops exchanged fire at their most intense! Both sides were caught up in street fighting at this time, and weapons such as heavy artillery were no longer needed!

Only rifles, submachine guns and grenades are more practical. Most of the heavy weapons of the Japanese army were also deployed to the front line, and there were not too many heavy weapons left in Harbin at all.

"Tutu Tu Tu ...... Rumble! Rumble!! Boom ......" In the sound of gunfire, Qi Muden seemed to be strolling in his own courtyard. I saw Qi Muden constantly patting his riding boots with his horsewhip, and slowly walked towards the forward headquarters under the escort of the guards.
