735 raided the counterattack of Erbai's "color" and "Bo" Lan

October 4, 1937. Moscow, inside the Kremlin. Stalin held a pipe in his mouth and smiled as he held Ibbentrop's handwritten letter from Hitler, which he had just delivered. Voroshilov, Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Soviet Union, Tukhachevsky, People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR, Molotov, Chairman of the People's Commissariat of the USSR, and Livinov, People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs of the USSR, were all recruited one by one. At this time, the "door" of the office was pushed open again, and the head of the Red Army intelligence, Berzin, walked in quickly.

Tukhachevsky knew in his heart that Stalin had just told them the contents of Hitler's secret letter and asked them about the situation on the Soviet-Polish battlefield. The situation is, of course, very good, better than the most optimistic imagination before! In just five days since the "surprise attack" was launched on September 30, the Belarusian cluster in Poland has basically been completely surrounded around Baranovichi. The whole of Belarus, with the exception of the Baranovichi and Brest fortresses, was completely recovered by the Soviet Red Army! On the Ukrainian side, the offensive of the Ukrainian Front has also made some progress, and the Ukrainian cluster in "Poland" is obviously afraid of being divided and surrounded by the tank units of the Soviet Red Army like the Belarusian cluster, and is now fighting and retreating to Lviv, an important town in western Ukraine. If the news in Hitler's letter is true, then the "Polish" and Lanish Front is fully capable of inflicting heavy damage or even annihilating the main force of the "Polish" army that crossed the river to relieve the siege of the "Polish" army in Belarus! It is even possible to win the Soviet-Polish war in one fell swoop. However, things went smoothly to such an extent, which really exceeded everyone's expectations, and Stalin, who was suspicious by nature, inevitably doubted Hitler's intentions.

"Comrade Berzin, your work in the Intelligence Bureau of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army has been very fruitful, and your contribution to the victory in the first battle of the Soviet-Polish war is indelible. I hope that the work of the Red Army Intelligence Service in Germany and China will be equally successful. ”

Without waiting for Berzin to speak, Stalin first presented a high hat, which made the intelligence minister of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army a little fluttering.

"This is Hitler's handwritten letter from Ribbentrop, which says that the 'Polish' White Army is planning a counteroffensive against the Soviet Red Army, with the aim of relieving the besieged 'Polish' army of the besieged Belarusian group, does the Red Army Intelligence have any information about this?" Stalin's expression gradually became stern, and he said in a questioning tone: "I don't seem to have received any reports on this, and neither do Comrades Voroshilov and Tukhachevsky!" If this information is true, our "Polish" and Lanish front forces will probably have to suffer some unnecessary losses. Comrade Berzin, I hope that you will learn a lesson and avoid making the same mistakes in the future. ”

Hearing Stalin's accusations, Berzin could only resign himself to a review, and he cautiously said: "Yes, Comrade Stalin, we are summing up and have decided to further strengthen the work against the Polish-Polish White Army......

"It doesn't have to be." Stalin lit his pipe, took a deep breath, and with a satisfied smile on his face, he smiled and said: "The Polish-Ran White Army has not existed for much longer, and this counteroffensive should be their last madness!" What we need to strengthen now is intelligence work on Germany and China, Comrade Berzin, have there been any changes between the German ** team and the Chinese White Army in the past two days? ”

"Comrade Stalin, the German ** team is still being mobilized, and their strength is growing every day. According to reliable intelligence, Germany will mobilize more than 5 million troops in this round! It will be all completed until the beginning of April next year, after which it will be possible for them to launch a major military operation. In addition, we found that Germany was working at full capacity to produce two new aircraft and one new tank, the two aircraft numbered BF-109 and Ju-87, respectively, and the tank number three. ”

"What can their 'sexuality' be? Can I get the drawings? Tukhachevsky, who was on the side, couldn't help but "interject".

Belzin took out his notebook from his purse, opened it, flipped through a few pages, and began to read. “…… We don't know the exact specifications for these two aircraft, but we do know the engine power they use, the BF-109 uses a 1,200 hp in-line engine, and the Ju-87 is a dive bomber that also uses a 1,200 hp in-line engine. In addition, German BM, M cannon! And it has the best tungsten armor-piercing projectiles. ”

Stalin saw Tukhachevsky's frowning eyebrows, and he was also a little worried, and hurriedly asked: "How is it?" Comrade Tukhachevsky? Can our planes and tanks deal with them? ”

"Can't!" Tukhachevsky's answer was very crisp: "Their latest aircraft engine is almost twice as powerful as the Soviet engine!" Therefore, the "sexuality" of the aircraft manufactured must be twice as good as that of the Soviet Union! This is not something that can be compensated for by design, and besides, the German's design is no worse than ours. As for the tank, the 48 times caliber 75mm cannon and tungsten steel armor-piercing shells will definitely be able to knock out our T-28, and the combat weight of more than 30 tons will definitely give this tank a good defensive "character". If these planes and tanks were already heavily equipped with Chinese and German troops......" Tukhachevsky shook his head and did not say any more. This is a gap in industrial strength, and it cannot be solved by a few leaders here who can pat themselves on the head.

"At present, these weapons should not be equipped in large quantities with the Chinese and German ** teams, because according to the information we have, their preparation plans will not be finalized until March 1938." Berzin took up the question, saying: "In addition, we have received definite information that China has now decided to send additional troops to 'Poland', and another army has already boarded and set off at Canton, and they are still preparing for war against Siam!" An ultimatum has been issued, and the South China Sea Fleet has been mobilized. It is estimated that they would use the period between November 1937 and March 1938 to conquer the country. ”

"Are you sure?" Stalin asked.

"Yes!" Berzin nodded confidently and said with a smile: "Whether it is the Central G or Indochina GCD, it is the same news. According to our investigation, this Siamese folk is extremely weak, its armaments are lax, and there are millions of overseas Chinese in the country, so it is impossible to resist the powerful China at all. It is also an important grain exporter, rich in rice, the staple food of southern China! If the Chinese conquered there, Luo Yaoguo could lift domestic food controls, which would be very beneficial for his uncle to win re-election as president. ”

Stalin sighed lightly and said with a smile: "Then I am relieved, if the Chinese do not add 'chaos' to us before winter comes, then the Germans should not be embarrassed with us, right?" Comrade Molotov, what do you think? ”

Hearing Stalin call his name, Molotov pondered: "Comrade Stalin, Germany is still at war with us...... So Hitler's letter to us may also be a ploy to deceive "sex" and cannot be fully believed. In case he deceives us, he stabs us in the back during our decisive battle with the Pollan......"

Listening to this answer, which questioned the sincerity of German peace, Stalin was silent for a while, stood up, walked to the window, looked at the clock tower of the Kremlin in the distance, and turned around for a while before saying: "It also makes sense, Comrade Tukhachevsky, transfer the 4th and 5th Tank Corps from the front line to Minsk, so that even if Hitler wants to betray us, he should be able to resist for a while!" In addition, give an order to Ubolevich, promote him to marshal, and let him beat me hard! Be sure to destroy the military forces of the White Colors and Porands in the Battle of the Bouag River! As long as the army of "Poland" is eliminated, there will always be a way for Germany to deal with it! ”

……

If they can't save the besieged Belorussian army group and cover the Ukrainian army group's withdrawal across the Bouag River, then they are likely to lose 750,000 troops within ten to fifteen days after the start of the war! It will become the biggest laughing stock in the military history of mankind, and it will also be the end of the history of the Republic of Poland...... The victorious Soviet Red Army will almost certainly perish before Chinese reinforcements arrive! As for the Germans, they did not collude with the Soviets to carve up the "Polish" Rans, and no "Polish" Rans would have counted on the Germans to save them.

In order to fight this battle well, the entire "Polish" army has rarely been able to operate efficiently, and all the people are working with full energy. By October 5, they had assembled fifteen infantry corps, four cavalry corps, one armored cavalry brigade, and nearly 800,000 troops on the west bank of the Bouag River! More than 2,000 artillery pieces and 1,200 tanks also secretly entered the forward positions on the west bank of the Bouag River. This force is already the limit of the military force that "Bo" Lan can come up with at the moment, and it seems to be strong enough for them to launch an attack at the scheduled time on October 6! If it is later than this time, it is very likely that the more than 200,000 "Polish" troops trapped in Baranovichi will not be able to hold out, and this attack will naturally be meaningless! Moreover, in order to seize the time to the greatest extent, this large-scale assembly and mobilization did not carry out any covert activities, and was completely "exposed" under the noses of the "Polish" and Ranist fighters and Soviet reconnaissance planes.

On 5 October, the Eighth Air Division of the Chinese Air Force, which had not appeared since the beginning of the war, finally dispatched 240 He-111 medium bombers from the front-line airfields in Lithuania and began to bomb the Soviet Red Army's battle lines and logistical transportation lines one after another. The more than 100 plus F3A2 fighters escorting the bomber group also engaged in fierce air battles with the Soviet Union's I-15 and I-16 fighters. Germany also dispatched hundreds of ME-3s (the German version of the F-3) to provide air cover for the movement of Polish ground forces. At the same time, on the Soviet-German battlefields in the north, the Far East and Central Asia, German and Chinese artillery finally began to pour ammunition on the Soviet positions on the opposite side.

And the Soviet Red Army, which had just occupied most of the eastern bank of the Bouag River, also took advantage of these few days to hastily set up a defensive line on the eastern bank of the river. The six infantry corps of the two Red Banner armies were "drawn" out, and the 3rd Army, which was originally used to besiege Baranovichi, organized a total of 12 infantry corps to form the new Red Banner 2nd Army, with five independent artillery divisions, to defend on the east bank of the Bouag River, and also an infantry corps belonging to the 4th Army 25th Army to monitor the Brest fortress still in the hands of the "Polish" army. The three tank armies and five cavalry corps under the jurisdiction of the First Red Banner Army formed the new First Red Banner Army at this time, which was deployed on the border between Belarus and Ukraine, resting and waiting for fighters. Fifteen infantry corps and five independent artillery divisions belonging to the other three armies of the Polish Front continued to besiege the remnants of Baranovichi's more than 200,000 Polish. In the end, the 4th and 5th Tank Armies, which had belonged to the 2nd Red Banner Army, were transferred back to Minsk to defend against the German threat with the Western Front, which had 10 infantry corps.

A series of troop adjustments on both sides began almost simultaneously, and were completed almost simultaneously. At 6:30 a.m. on October 6, 1937, a flash of light swept over the battle line of the Polishans that almost turned the entire sky red! Immediately afterwards, there was a roar like shaking mountains, and it seemed that there were unimaginably many explosions and thunders at the same time! The bombardment of the Polishlanders has begun! Moreover, there are as many as 1,080 "doors" of heavy howitzers, more than 1,300 "doors" of light howitzers, field guns, and mountain artillery, and more than 300 "doors" with long-range "shooting" of heavy mortars roaring at the same time on a not very long front! The trajectory of the cannonballs suddenly "intertwined" in the sky, weaving a huge web of firelight in just a few seconds. Groups of shells had already fallen on the positions of the Soviet Red Army, and the earth trembled as if the end of the world was about to come! At the same time, hundreds of warplanes painted with the German Iron Cross or the Chinese blue sky and white sun mark swept over the positions of the Soviet Red Army, and a series of bombs fell one after another, setting off a rain of smoke and bullets on the Soviet positions.

The Jedi counteroffensive of the "Polish" Lan army has finally begun!

……

"Your Excellency, the Führer would like me to ask you, when will your country's large-scale attack on the USSR be launched? The Führer believes that China and Germany are the real allies in this war, and therefore there is a need for closer cooperation and fuller "exchanges", and we hope to get your real battle plan, and in exchange for "handing over" I have also brought our top-secret plan. ”

The question was asked by the Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Wilhelm Brown. Admiral Keitel. Hitler's most important military adviser sat opposite Luo Yaoguo with a solemn face. A battle plan dozens of pages thick wrapped in a white "color" cover with a swaska-mark was placed on the desk in front of Luo Yaoguo. This is a top-secret supplement to the Barbarossa Plan, which Keitel brought from Germany. The plane he was on arrived in Wuhan on October 5, 1937, at the beginning of the Jedi counteroffensive of "Bo" Lan, and as soon as he got off the plane, he immediately proposed to meet Luo Yaoguo.

"This ...... The launch of a large-scale attack on the Soviet Union is expected to take place between October 9 and 11, 1937, depending on the weather...... There will be a surprise blow, and we hope to be able to cut off the Soviet Far Eastern Front from the western territories of the USSR before winter sets in. Luo Yaoguo looked at the documents sent by Keitel while pondering his words, "Oh? It turns out that your plan is to launch an offensive against Belarus this winter and cut off the retreat of the main Soviet forces...... In that case, will Bolan be sacrificed? They're our allies, too! ”

Admiral Keitel's expression was slightly regretful, he nodded, and sighed: "This is not the fault of Germany and China!" We have already reminded the Polish side more than once to draw up a battle plan that suits the actual situation, but they are unwilling to listen to our opinions...... However, the Senator would like to convey to me His Excellency the Field Marshal that there would be no problem with the existence of "Poland" and that Germany had no ambitions for "Poland" itself. ”

While Keitel was trying to explain that the disaster of "Bo" Lan had nothing to do with Germany, Luo Yaoguo carefully looked at the Germans' plan page by page. Contrary to what Keitel said, judging from the top-secret supplement to the Barbarossa Plan, the sacrifice of Poland was an important part of Germany's plan to destroy the Soviet Union. I don't know what Hitler used to convince Stalin that Germany would see the destruction of Poland and the possibility of partitioning Poland with the Soviet Union...... The aim was to lead the Soviet Red Army from the strong Stalin Line to the plains of Poland and create a blitzkrieg for the German panzers to encircle the main Soviet forces! If this raid was successful, the Soviet Red Army would lose 2 million to 3 million people at once! And at the same time, the raid of the ** squadron in the Far East will also allow them to lose nearly 2 million troops! Combined, the Soviet Union will lose 5 million people before the "spring" day of 1938! This figure is almost comparable to the huge results achieved by the historical "Barbarossa Plan" in the early days.

Luo Yaoguo closed the text and coughed lightly: "Okay, since you have already told us all your secrets, there is no reason why our "Blue 'Color' Plan" should not be shown to you. As he spoke, he opened the drawer, took out a thick battle plan, and handed it over. This is the German translation of the Blue Scheme, which we had planned to send to you in a few days, but since you have personally come to China, please take this document back to Germany. ”

Admiral Keitel, who owed slightly, took the thick battle plan with both hands, and smiled: "Thank you very much for your trust in the German Empire." In addition, the Führer has entrusted me to seek some advice from you...... Although according to the previous verbal agreement between Your Excellency and the Führer, Europe is Germany's sphere of influence, out of respect for the allies, the Führer still wants to fully "exchange" views with China on the division of the territory between Poland and the Soviet Union after the war. First of all, they need to return all the territory they have seized from Germany, including the Danzig Corridor and part of Silesia, and of course Poland can get a piece of land from Ukraine as compensation. However, most of the territory of Belarus and Ukraine will be transferred to Germany, and in addition to Germany, Germany will also receive the Transcaucasian region of the Soviet Union, and the territory of the Russian Empire will be limited to ...... after the war."
