Chapter 333: The War Resumes: The Devil Has a Problem
In August, the Sino-Soviet war resumed.
"Stand up!"
The headquarters of the Far Eastern Front of the Wehrmacht in Hailanpao, in the huge war room, will be star-studded.
Huo Weiguo, commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front, General Chen Cheng, deputy commander-in-chief, and Lieutenant General Gao Feng, chief of staff of the Front, walked into the war room together, and all the generals immediately stood up and saluted.
"Sit down."
Huo Weiguo's tough order gave people an invisible pressure.
The generals sat down neatly, Huo Weiguo looked around, and found that everyone's faces were filled with eagerness to fight, and after a long time, he said awe-inspiringly, "At this military expansion meeting of the base camp, the final tone of the war against the Soviet Union has been decided. As one of the three major fronts in the war against the Soviet Union, our Far Eastern Front occupied less territory than the Siberian Front in the previous stage of operations, and destroyed even less enemy troops than the Central Asian Front.
Although this is a strategic necessity, I know very well that our Far Eastern Front is holding its breath from top to bottom.
What are our Far Eastern Front? In the War of Liberation, we were the main force in dealing with devils. It was we who knocked down the devils all the way from Jinzhou until they surrendered unconditionally.
At the time of the launch of the campaign in the previous stage, we were the second most powerful military cluster in the entire army establishment after the Siberian Front, we had the same powerful air cluster, the same powerful armored group, and the millions of Predators who were equally fearless and sworn to serve the country.
However, in order to subordinate ourselves to the needs of the overall strategy, our performance in the previous stage of the war was not eye-catching.
At this meeting of the military enlargement of the base camp, the chairman of the committee personally ordered the troops and named our Far Eastern Front.
The chairman named Huo Weiguo, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Chen, and the million-strong army of the Far Eastern Front. Because, at this stage of the war against the Soviet Union, our Far Eastern Front will be the main force.
I won't say anything superfluous, fighting a war is to win a war, how to win a war, how to win a war, I believe everyone knows in their hearts, whoever can't win a war, give way to those who can lead the army to win a war.
I now give the floor to Chief of Staff Gao Feng. ”
Gao Feng, chief of staff of the Far Eastern Front, stood up, walked to the map of the situation in the Far East, and introduced the strategic arrangements for the Wehrmacht's operation against the Soviet Union.
"In accordance with the spirit of this military enlargement meeting of the base camp and the military conference on combat against the Soviet Union, our Far Eastern Front will undertake the task of attacking the main forces.
During the preparation period for the offensive for more than half a year, the strength of our Far Eastern Front was greatly strengthened. The heavy firepower of our front, the individual firepower of the troops, the armored forces and the aviation units have been greatly strengthened.
In addition to the accelerated equipment of a large number of traditional new weapons, the addition of new fighters and new tanks will also explode huge combat power on the battlefield.
In addition, the chairman of the committee made up his mind to strengthen the Far Eastern Front and specially transferred the 1st Airborne Army to join the Far Eastern Front. As everyone knows, there is only one airborne army in the active forces of our army, and the chairman of the committee has put it in our Far Eastern Front not only for the idea of training troops, but also for us to play a more important role in the next major war.
……”
After the front army operations meeting, Huo Weiguo left Zheng Zhinan, commander of the 8th Group Army, alone.
"Lao Zheng, at this military expansion meeting of the base camp, you should get the news about your proposal, right?"
Huo Weiguo and the others walked in the garden of the headquarters and talked about the recent situation.
"Well, Chief of General Staff Chiang and I had a phone call, and Minister Su also spoke to me, mentioning this matter, and the official order should be in the hands of the commander soon." Zheng Zhinan is an old man in the National Defense Army, who has been in charge of the army for many years, and can be regarded as an excellent senior commander.
If it weren't for the fact that the commanders of the three major front armies were too good, Zheng Zhinan would probably have taken charge of himself and become a major member of the front army long ago.
Huo Weiguo nodded and said, "The soldiers personally ordered by the chairman of the committee, although the war in the north is tense, but after our three major northern front armies have specially strengthened their armor and aviation forces, as long as there are no particularly major changes, the Soviets should not be afraid."
The devil's ghost mind has come up again, and now the guns and cannons in the Far East battlefield are loud, and the real action is getting smaller and smaller. At the military enlargement meeting of the base camp, the chairman of the NPC committee clearly pointed out that the little devils may come to defect to the battle, and this is the biggest challenge we are facing at present.
Fortunately in the north, at present, a number of group armies have entered the northeastern frontier region and can support our Far Eastern Front at any time, so that the strength of the Far Eastern theater that we can use is approaching 2 million in a straight line, which is enough to deal with any unexpected situation.
At the moment, the situation is somewhat tense in the south. ”
Huo Weiguo couldn't help but recall the speech made by the chairman of the NPC National Committee at the current military enlargement meeting.
The current war situation is indeed more complicated. Especially after the great victory of the Indians' counterattack plan, his vacillating mentality became more prominent.
The Americans suffered unprecedented losses, the war in the Far East fell into a stalemate again, and seeing that China's new [***] large-scale offensive was about to begin, the Americans turned their minds to themselves.
If before this, this kind of filthiness between the United States and the United States was just chasing after the wind, then at the military enlargement meeting, Zhang Shusheng clearly put forward this possible surname.
Once the Americans made up their minds to win over Yue himself, and gave him considerable benefits, or even mere promises, compared with Germany, which was thousands of miles away, and the Chinese dragon on the side of the couch, he was very likely to choose to take sides again and join the camp of the Allies.
The benefits of re-choosing sides are also obvious.
Once Ben obtained the necessary benefits from the Soviet Union and became a member of the Allies, then the millions of Soviet troops and hundreds of thousands of US troops on the battlefield in the Far East could instantly become the vanguard of anti-China or aggression against China.
The situation in the south is also tense, with the US-led allies already approaching 1.5 million troops in India, and a new offensive will start from the direction of Burma.
"The Burmese Front Army, which will be formed this time, is planned to have you as the commander-in-chief of the front army, and Comrade Xue Yue as the deputy commander-in-chief. Your transfer order has come to me. ”
Huo Weiguo is actually reluctant to let his generals be transferred, but for the sake of the overall situation, the south does need a veteran with high moral integrity and rich experience in actual combat command to sit in charge, and Zheng Zhinan is currently the most suitable candidate in terms of qualifications and qualifications.
"Commander, I'm fine, I'm ready to leave at any time." Zheng Zhinan said with a smile.
"Well, that's good, going to the south is always a war, and the United States, Britain and India are fighting a three-way fierce war, where large-scale mechanized offensives cannot be launched, you were an expert in mountain and jungle warfare in the southwest back then, and this time it just happened to be useful." Huo Weiguo still knows his generals very well, when Zheng Zhinan was in the southwest, the troops he commanded had a strong ability in mountain warfare, but when it was his turn to mechanized combat, he was half a layman, and he was not as good as a special mechanized command general. This trip to the South was just the right person. "Do you have any suggestions for the selection of commanders of the 8th Army?"
"The 8th Group Army is also rich in talents, although it is not a mechanized group army, but there are still some generals with strong overall view and strategic command ability. Qu Zhongyi, deputy chief of staff of the group army, is one of the best among them. During the Anti-Japanese War, he was the commander of our army's latent battalion in the Northeast Army, and then he commanded the anti-guerrilla war in the entire Northeast region, and later served as the commander of the 88th Division, which was already a bit overkill. The reason why I asked him to serve as deputy chief of staff of the group army was also because I wanted to push him when the new round of army expansion came. ”
Zheng Zhinan has a good impression of Qu Zhongyi, he is a brave and resourceful general, not afraid of tough battles and evil battles, not a reckless man, but a fine command talent.
"It's similar to my thoughts, and the qualifications are enough, when I was at the Huaxia Military Academy, I was also his instructor, this person has a strong sense of the overall situation, and his strategic command ability is enough, not to mention his loyalty. The commander of the 88th Division will also adjust this time, and the command means to let Comrade Chai Chun take office. Comrade Chai Chun is also a veteran soldier who participated in the Jinzhou Campaign of the Anti-Japanese War, and his military performance in the past ten years has been remarkable, and he served as the commander of the 88th Division this time, which can be regarded as Qu Zhongyi's class, and this kid is Qu Zhongyi's old subordinate. ”
After talking for a few minutes, the two happened to walk to the gate of the garden, and then stopped, Zheng Zhinan saluted Huo Weiguo, Huo Weiguo returned the salute, and then said: "Fight a little better in the south, don't lose the name of our old Northeast Garrison Region and the Far Eastern Front." ”
"Yes, Commander."
…… In August 1945, the war between China and the Soviet Union was rekindled.
On the three major battlefields of China and the Soviet Union, a new round of war broke out.
On the Central Asian battlefield, the Central Asian Front of the Chinese National Defense Forces is trying to further expand the territory of Central Asia that it occupies, to occupy a number of energy-producing areas and to further compress the Soviet Union's living space in the Central Asian direction, and to weaken the Soviet Union's war potential, including conscription and logistics.
In order to echo the offensive of the Far Eastern Front, the Chinese Siberian Front sent an army of several hundred thousand people to attack northward, to further cut off the Soviet Union's connection from west to east, lay the foundation for victory in the Far Eastern Battlefield, and block the support of the Soviet army. The strategy of the Wehrmacht in Siberia was to consolidate the vast territory of the newly occupied territories, cut off the east-west corridor with strong forces, and cooperate with the Central Asian Front and the Far Eastern Front to cut off the Soviet Union in the form of three major plots.
It was the Far Eastern Battlefield that was really raging.
Chen Cheng personally commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to attack from the south to the north, with the Fifth Panzer Army and the newly formed Sixth Panzer Group Army as the main forces, and became the second and third armies of the Wehrmacht Front after the Siberian Front, together with the First Airborne Group Army.
Jinzhou, China.
On the Beijing-Harbin Railway outside Jinzhou, a train dragging nearly 20 wagons is rumbling through Jinzhou after filling up the water at the station.
"Chairman, this is a military train bound for Hailan Pao."
On the hill outside Jinzhou City, a group of people are accompanying a man in a windbreaker to look at the military column in front of the hill. However, it was Zhang Shusheng who inspected the preparations for the war in the northeast.
"Well, the war in the Far East has a treacherous tendency, and if the Far Eastern Front can quickly cut off the rear route of the Far East, it will be tantamount to including the huge Siberia or even half of the Far East."
Zhang Shusheng looked at the military columns in the distance, there were already two military columns roaring past within ten minutes of standing here, such a high-intensity military column is very rare even in the world, and couldn't help but say: "The front-line war is tight, and the entire Northeast is in tense preparations. This is not only to deter the United States, but also to strengthen our hard power in the northeast, and once the war requires, the follow-up troops and materials can be quickly pulled up. We don't fight unprepared battles. ”
"Yes, Chairman of the Committee, at present, our combat preparations are being carried out on the scale of a major battle at the level of a general battle." Among the entourage were logistics officers from the Northeast Garrison District, who heard Zhang Shusheng's instructions and hurriedly said.
Zhang Shusheng: "Well, combat readiness is very important. However, both he and the Soviets had infiltrated the Northeast to a certain extent, and some Han annihilators were willing to be used by others and became traitors. Therefore, during the period of war readiness, it is necessary to strengthen the work of militia patrols, especially in railway transportation, urban areas, power stations, schools, factories, and other units. For example, once the railway transport is sabotaged by the enemy, it will affect the railway for several hours at the least, and paralyze the railway at the worst, and our militia must be mobilized. ”
The three major Chinese intelligence agencies are aware of the filth between the United States and the Soviet Union.
In particular, the Ministry of Secret Services took pictures of the American envoys.
Although we do not know much about the specific contacts between the three sides, it is an indisputable fact that the United States and the Soviet Union are striving to get closer to Japan.
The situation in the USSR was getting worse and worse, and it had reached the point where it was looking around for a lifeline.
It is not that Stalin was incompetent, still less that the Soviet Union was not strong enough, and was attacked by China and Germany, and lost a large amount of national territory, and a large number of elite troops were exhausted on the battlefield.
Seeing that China is resuming the war, and Germany is also ambitious to take Moscow in one go, the Soviet Union has no way to retreat.
At this time, the Far East, which was originally very important, was not so important.
From Zhang Shusheng's standpoint, if the abandonment of the Far East can be exchanged for his own complete defection, and if the Americans are most generously supported, then once the Allies launch a new fierce offensive around the world, then the crisis of the Soviet Union's demise may be resolved.
The Germans captured the territory of the Soviet Union, not only for themselves, but also for the member states of the Nazi legions in Europe.
China is even more frightening, directly setting up administrative divisions on the newly occupied land, making it clear that it will not return it.
The Soviets were really scared.
And this is exactly the object that can be fought for.
Since the beginning of the Sino-DPRK border crisis, all the powerful countries have been aware of a problem, and the problem that China and China did not solve many years ago seems to still exist.
At this time, the major powers of the two camps have their minds to move.
Zhang Shusheng's inspection of the Northeast was halfway through because a big event had happened in the Axis powers.
The Supreme Commander of the German Joint Command, Field Marshal Model, was deprived of the nominal supreme command of the Far Eastern Theater by the Japanese military, and was accused of 'conspiracy to indirectly massacre the [***] team of the Great Emperor." Under the sudden mutiny, Marshal Moder was restricted in his personal freedom, and the German [***] official corps was 'temporarily' suspended from work in the name of investigation.
Originally, the situation of Germany's participation in the strategic military command of the Chinese army changed in an instant.
