When the whole world was waiting for New York two weeks later, Yang Qiu took Yan Baohang, Jin Bihui and others to Almaty with Sikorsky to greet the arriving Polish soldiers. Like the outside world, the grassroots soldiers who came all the way did not know the purpose very well, and they only came because the officers told them that the Western Front in Europe could not be attacked for the time being, and that they needed to attack the Soviet Union from here with the squadron to fight the enemy who invaded the country. So in order to keep their hearts in check, the soldiers were arranged to watch a copy of the massacre as soon as they got off the plane. The silent but bloody and tyrannical picture completely dispelled all doubts, and everyone's eyes were red.

In the temporary reception camp of the Polish army near the railway station, Yang Qiu and Sikorski stood side by side, together with the first batch of 12,000 Polish soldiers of the Podhall Brigade and the Carpathian Brigade, to observe the flag-raising ceremony before the expedition.

Knowing that the Wehrmacht was about to begin the spring and summer offensive, all the officers and men of the two brigades that had rushed from Britain and Syria unanimously demanded that they immediately join the battle to take revenge on the Soviet Union. Yang Qiu could also understand the mood of the Polish soldiers, and after discussing with Sikorski, he agreed to temporarily integrate them into the 7th and 11th separate armored regiments of the South Kazakhstan Army, and then reorganize them after the main Polish force arrived and had its own armored forces. In order to coordinate the command, more than a dozen interpreters were specially transferred to join the troops.

In terms of weaponry, Yang Qiu was not stingy, in addition to semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns, he was also issued with HJ32 general-purpose machine guns, howitzers and other advanced individual weapons. In terms of heavy weapons, a large number of heavy weapons, including 528 Type 31 tanks, 812 half-tracks, 78 85-mm hunting tanks, 24 155-mm assault guns, 212 105/155-mm heavy guns, 400 Fang-127 mm heavy machine guns, 1,088 captured Soviet-made guns of various types and 4,000 trucks, were also allocated in full accordance with Wehrmacht standards. For the Polish army, which had little heavy equipment in exile in Britain and France, it was a luxury, and if it weren't for the heavy mood, the soldiers might have shouted long live. And what satisfied Sikorski and the Polish soldiers the most was this. China does not shout slogans like Britain and France, because military production has been gradually expanded since 1937, so this batch of weapons has arrived at the base in Almaty, waiting for them to receive it.

After the ceremony, the two brigade commanders immediately saluted Yang Qiu, and more than 10,000 waves of soldiers lined up to board the train to Shymkent, there was no noise, no shouting, only the sound of trembling heavy footsteps. It's like a pack of silent and terrible vengeful wolves. Rolling towards the southwest. Even Yue Peng and Jiang Fangzhen, who accompanied the observation, secretly admired that Yang Qiu had made a good deal this time. One can imagine what they would look like when Wehrmacht artillery fire smashed open the shell of the Tashkent fortress. With 200,000 Polish troops, it means that the Wehrmacht can withdraw 200,000 elites from the northwest. Maintain sufficient pressure on Japan and the Southwest Pacific.

More importantly, Poland had replaced the Republic of China as the biggest-stirring stick in the approach of Britain and the Soviet Union, and Sikorski had secretly distributed thousands of copies around the world, and as long as these copies were played, even Churchill and Roosevelt had to weigh the attitudes of the world's capitalists. You know, all democracies have a serious weakness.

Ballot paper!

In particular, Roosevelt, who was trying to be re-elected for a third term, would never dare to mention anything good relations with the Soviet Union at this time in order to pander to the voters. Once the United States could not accept the Soviet Union, then Churchill could only go all the way to the black. Because without the strong manufacturing power of the United States, Britain and France, which could not even meet the needs of weapons manufacturing, could not deal with Germany, not to mention that Yang Qiu still held the biggest killer weapon of the Soviet-German Secret Treaty.

After sending off the soldiers. Yang Qiu personally sent Sikorski to the airport, and also prepared a Meteor-5 stratospheric intercontinental passenger plane for him as a special plane to the United States. Of course, he was happy to have a special plane, but when he saw Luo Hu and the others in military uniforms, Sikorski frowned: "Mr. President." They are. ”

Yang Qiu knew that he had misunderstood: "You misunderstood. I have no intention of monitoring your movements, but some people certainly don't want to see us join forces. They are all the most elite soldiers. can ensure your safety, and they will withdraw as soon as things are settled. ”

"Thank you."

Sikorski was not a stupid person, and not to mention whether Stalin would be angry and ashamed to attack him because of the Sino-Polish alliance, I am afraid that there will be many people in Britain who are dissatisfied. Yang Qiu also didn't want him to be wrecked in an inexplicable plane crash like in history, so he specially prepared a special plane and let the hunters escort him throughout the process.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister." Seeing that Sikorski was about to board the plane, Yue Peng, who was standing next to him, suddenly stepped forward: "If you can, you might as well go to Cairo first, I'm worried." ”

"Cunningham?" Hearing his words, Sikorski immediately thought of someone.

Yue Peng nodded: "Churchill won't care about you, but Cunningham will never let the remaining main force pass through the canal easily, and I'm worried that he will send warships to block the fleet." ”

Unlike Churchill, Cunningham was the commander of the Royal Navy's Mediterranean Fleet and was a real power-builder. Because he controls the most important ports of Said, Alexandria and Gibraltar, and the Mediterranean Fleet is very strong, even Yue Peng has to be afraid of three points, so he has this reminder. Sikorski quickly understood the meaning and nodded: "Thank you General for the reminder, I will go to Cairo to meet Cunningham first." With that, he quickly got into the plane with a dozen government officials.

It wasn't until he saw the plane take off safely that half of the stone in Yang Qiu's heart fell, turned his head to look at Yan Baohang and Jin Bihui, and nodded vigorously: "Good job!" ”

"President, this is what we should do."

"It's not the same thing to do and what to do well, and this mission was great. Especially you, golden girl. Jiang Fangzhen, who was known for his severity, was all happy, came up to shake hands with Yan Baohang, and specially praised the bonus wall with a few words.

Looking at the abominable intelligence witch in history, Yang Qiu felt in his heart that the environment can really change fate. However, he did not show it, and after a few words of praise, he said earnestly: "Sikorski and Poland are over for the time being, and then you will focus on France." Baohang, after you go back, cooperate with Dai Yunong immediately, and be sure to monitor the movements of the German army for me. Bihui, give you a week's vacation to go home and see, Haohui is very worried about you. And then I have to trouble you to go to Paris once. After Sikorski announced the massacre, Zeng Qi would immediately discuss an alliance with the French government. I have already taken care of him, and you must get in touch with Darlan as soon as you go, and at least make a good impression of the French Navy. ”

Jin Bihui knew his fate, so every time he accepted the mission, he never asked more, and immediately said goodbye and took a special plane back to Wuhan. After everything was arranged, Yang Qiu turned his attention back to the crucial spring and summer offensive, turned his head and asked, "When will the offensive start?" ”

Yue Peng looked at his watch: "There are still 11 hours." Xie Ruyi's three armies would first emerge from Khujand and cut cross-cutting towards Bekabad and Giristan, cutting off the connection between Tashkent and Samarkand. The Tajik 24th Army moved towards Dushanbe and joined Sun Chuanfang's main force from Termez to the north. Two of Mare divisions converged with a mountain infantry division in Mashhad, and two divisions of the Iranian army advanced towards the Ashgabat offensive. Li Zongren's 7th Army and 2nd Airborne Division moved south from Kyzylorda across the desert. Attacking Urgench to cut off the railway line, the 1st and 16th armies followed behind them to feint the main forces of the Karakalpakstan Front in Nukus. The 15th, 29th, 33rd, 7th and 11th separate armored regiments stationed in Shymkent and the two Polish brigades just now squeezed forward towards Tashkent. ”

"At the latest, the encirclement of Tashkent can be completed in two weeks."

"The time was good, just to provide cover for the Poles, so that Stalin could not pull away. When the events in New York were over, Stalin would certainly be in a hurry. Jiang Fangzhen praised it, and was very satisfied with Yue Peng's style of playing that combined battle and politics. But there is one thing that is not at ease: "But Zi'an, you transfer the Seventh Army to the south, so that Long Yun has 4 armies and several divisions left in his hands, and the total strength is only 500,000." Isn't it too risky? ”

"It's less, but Xu Shuzheng has already asked two Kazakh independent armies to support, and the air force will carry out strategic bombing of Chelyabinsk and Orenburg after the siege of Tashkent, as long as it can blow up these two distribution points in and out of Central Asia. The threat will be much smaller. ”

"That's good, I'm just a little worried about Zhukov and Lukin."

The three of them chatted as they walked. Yan Baohang didn't go far and suddenly ran back, holding a telegram and hurriedly shouting: "President, Finland has surrendered!" Also agreed to all the demands of the USSR, declaring neutrality! Zhukov has returned to Moscow and is said to be back in two days to the Siberian Military District. ”

"It's coming so fast."

In Yang Qiu's light voice, night gradually fell.

At 2 a.m. on March 11, the morning star had just risen, and the fortress of Khujand in Andijan was already busy.

At both ends of the hilltop of the fortress, two triple Skoda K10 305-mm naval guns slowly turned. This powerful main gun, equipped with a Combined Force-class battleship, fully demonstrates the exquisite craftsmanship of Kosda. A single gun weighs 45 tons, the shell weighs 450 kg, and skilled artillerymen can fire one every 40 seconds. After the last European war, Yang Qiu half-bought and half-gave away two ships, which were dismantled with the commissioning of the Beijing class. The hull was later converted into a fishery patrol ship, and the eight triple main guns were also used to fortify the coastal defense and fortress. In order to give full play to its performance, after the war, designers were invited from the Skoda company to re-improve the elevation angle and loader, and in one fell swoop increased the firing range from the original 20 kilometers to 36 kilometers.

With the continuous sizzling sound of the winch, three 256-kilogram high-speed light bullets were lifted. This lightweight, high-explosive grenade shaped like a pinnacle is a long-range ammunition specially developed for the Navy, and has been made hundreds of times in the wind tunnel model alone. Even so, in the end, it didn't succeed until the computer appeared. It not only has a streamlined appearance, but also adopts the bottom exhaust design proposed by Yang Qiu, and has a range of up to 43 kilometers when fully charged.

Don't underestimate the difference of 7 kilometers, you must know that the Soviet troops outside Khuzhan are all deployed according to the maximum range of these two guns, and the sudden increase in the range of 7 kilometers is a powerful 305 mm heavy gun, which is enough to complete a devastating blow to the Soviet position.

As the chain push rod stuffed the six shells into the barrel, the artillerymen quickly filled three packs of silk-wrapped propellant, and when the wind speed and other data were transmitted to the turret by telephone, the six fortress guns slowly raised their muzzles.

And at this time, the Soviet troops on the opposite side still knew nothing.

"Fire!"

"Boom." The rolling thunder and thunder announced the beginning of the spring and summer offensive of 1940 and the beginning of the most turbulent year.
