Chapter 158

At 4 p.m., President Fang Jianxiong delivered an important speech at the National Assembly, and the entire broadcast will be broadcast live. Under normal circumstances, the content of the National Assembly meeting is broadcast live on the radio, and people who are not very concerned with politics do not go back to listen to it. But Fang Jianxiong's speech in the National Assembly is different, in the hearts of the general public, this is the emperor in the past, and if you can hear the emperor's speech, you naturally can't miss it.

Before four o'clock, the radio in the square on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was full of people, and today's radio was very unusual, and the national anthem and military anthem were constantly played. Repeat over and over again. At four o'clock, the lively square suddenly became very quiet, and everyone looked up at the radio, waiting for the voice that would cheer up the people every time it appeared.

"Good afternoon, distinguished Mr. Speaker, distinguished members of Congress, citizens of the country. Today, I stand in this solemn place to make an important message to all members of the National Assembly and to all the people. At exactly five o'clock this morning, our neighbor, the Soviet Union, brazenly launched a surprise attack on our country. At present, the confirmed information is that the enemy has dispatched at least 4,000 aircraft, 10,000 artillery pieces, 2,000 tanks, and 1.5 million troops. In a day of fierce fighting, our troops suffered heavy casualties due to the surprise attack, losing more than 600 aircraft, more than 1,000 artillery pieces, and 100,000 casualties.

At this moment, our soldiers are still fighting stubbornly in blood and fire, and the Central Asian Front has encountered three times the enemy's onslaught, but they have not given up, they are still fighting. Although our troops suffered heavy casualties, the enemy's casualties were definitely not less than ours.

At this moment, I solemnly request to Congress. Allow me, on behalf of the Republic of China, to declare war on the evil Soviet regime, and allow me to give orders for the whole country to enter a state of war. With regard to the attack from the Soviet Union, I would like to solemnly tell the people of the whole country that the war was started by the Soviet Union. But when it stops, it's up to us to decide. ”

President Fangda's calm and powerful voice echoed all over the country: "Over the past 5,000 years, the Chinese nation has gone through countless calamities, but it still stands tall among the nations of the world. In the past, the Chinese civilization was inherited for 5,000 years without disappearing in the long river of history, and the Chinese nation will continue to be brilliant in the future. I am confident that our soldiers will be able to defeat the most tenacious and vicious enemy of all time. Wipe them all out cleanly. Victory will surely belong to the great National Defense Force, victory will surely belong to the Chinese people, and Chinese civilization will surely be immortal! Long live the Chinese nation! ”

Lao Maozi called! This has to be replaced by the Qing Dynasty and Beiyang in the past, and ordinary people will not care about this at all. But now China is different, more than 20 years of compulsory education, nationalism, nationalism deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

A reporter who filed stopped a young man who was leaving the square. asked: "Young man, Lao Maozi called, what do you want to say?" The young man's face was still green, but he replied unusually identifiably: "Of course it's a matter of beating back, and if you don't fight back after being beaten, we can't afford to lose that person." Tomorrow I will go to the army and go to the front. Beat the old hair. ”

The reporter quickly stopped a middle-aged man and asked the same question. The middle-aged man who was hurrying away glanced at the reporter suspiciously, and finally replied to him very strictly: "You shouldn't ask this question, what kind of life did the people live in the past?" You forgot about the days when foreigners rode on our heads and, but I didn't forget about it. "Saying with his hand×, he used his hand to boil the wreckage, boil the carcass, boil the stumbling, the stumbling, the stinging

The news of the Soviet invasion of China shocked the world. Lao Maozi has always been one of the few powerful countries in Europe, and Germany beat Lao Maozi out of shit in World War I, and the squadron showed that it was no less effective than the German army in Europe. Hence the news. It always makes people feel that it is not so acceptable, and it is said that China invaded the Soviet Union in the past, right? Now it's the other way around, the Republic of China, which has a strong army, was attacked by the Soviet Union and suffered heavy losses. What's even worse is that the start of such a war between China and the Soviet Union had a heavy impact on the entire world pattern. Britain in Europe, Churchill is jumping to his feet and scolding Stalin, if you don't fight Germany, why do you want to provoke China. Germany, Hitler can be described as ecstatic, China and the Soviet Union are fighting, and the Western Front can finally be completely relieved. First concentrate on destroying Britain, and then turn around and unite with China to destroy the Soviet Union, and the world is Germany that has the final say.

Roosevelt of the United States had mixed feelings, and the war between China and the Soviet Union would not be harmful to the United States. The superior geographical location allows the United States to always escape the impact of war. The dilemma is how to choose between China and the Soviet Union. In Roosevelt's mind, China and the United States were caught in the grip of Japan, and the United States and the Soviet Union were caught in the grip of Germany, taking advantage of the opportunity of containing each other between China and the Soviet Union to take advantage of the opportunity to lay out the layout in the whole world. This is the rhythm that is most in the interests of the United States. Now that China and the Soviet Union are fighting first, it is not so realistic to expect the Soviet Union to start a war with Germany, unless Hitler has his brain in water and takes the initiative to fight the Soviet Union.

When the war between China and the Soviet Union began, the Japanese military department went crazy directly! The long-awaited opportunity has finally arrived, head south! South! The time has come to harvest the western ghost animal colonies. In the headquarters of the North Korean garrison, cheers rang out, and when everyone was cheering, only Kawada Oy, chief of the operations section of the headquarters staff, quietly continued the work at hand.

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and the chief of staff of the North Korean garrison, Ishihara Wan'er, looked at Wu Wei with a calm face excitedly: "Kawada-kun, how can you still be so calm?" A qiē is all in your expectation! ”

"Ishihara-kun, for the Empire, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it is also a great adventure. Going south was just a big gamble that had to be made, and I didn't think there was anything to be happy about. Wu Wei bowed his head after saying and continued his work. Ishihara's face darkened: "Why don't I know?" As soon as the main forces of our army began to move south, our flanks and rear were all exposed to China. The two countries are too close, and while we go south, we have to hold the Far East and North Korea. To be honest, I'm really worried about China's sudden turnaround. They had already declared war on the USSR and began a general mobilization in less than three months. With 200 new divisions of the army, it only takes half a year for them to expand their strength to 600 to 8 million, with abundant human resources and a complete industrial system. It's horrible. ”

"Now we can only hope that the staff officers at home will not be deceived by the illusory illusion that China has suffered heavy losses, and that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will do its utmost to convince China that we will not cooperate with the Soviet Union in attacking the Far East." When Kawada said this, a staff officer rushed in at the door and said, "Section chief, the military department has sent a telegram, please leave for China immediately." Reported directly to General Nagata of the War Department. Chief of Staff Ishihara, there is also a telegram for you, please return to Japan as well. ”

Among the North Korean garrisons, if there is a group of generals who has the best popularity, it is Kawada Fear. There was no young man in the headquarters who had not drunk Kawada's wine. Everyone is willing to talk to Wu Wei if they have something to say. On the contrary, it was Ishihara Wan'er, the chief of staff, and the people below were not very close to him.

After signing the telegram, Wu Wei immediately packed his bags, carried the rattan box on the train and headed towards the coastline, and the passage was naturally Ishihara Wan'er, a confidant. On the train, Kawada looked to the west and stared for a long time. He said in a low voice: "I really want to see how the armies of these two countries are fighting." ”

"Yes, the Germans swept across Europe with new tactics, which are said to have been studied by the Chinese military. The Germans called it a blitzkrieg! ”

Baldi Kurgan, the headquarters of the 135th Division, the division commander is Liao Yaoxiang, a rising star in the Wehrmacht, who was sent to an infantry to be the division commander, or a newly formed infantry division, and it was still put into war after only half a year of formation. It can be said that this is a very unlucky rhythm, but in Liao Yaoxiang's eyes. I didn't see any frustration, but a look of excitement.

Thirty-six hours had passed since the war, and as Zhukov, the chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, feared, the course of the war was rather unsmooth. Several of the most important support points of the battle have not been won so far. Especially the most important Baldikurgan. The Soviet 300,000 people stormed for a day and a half, and hundreds of thousands of shells were fired, but they never broke through the defense line of the squadron. Without breaking through the defensive line, the mechanized units of the Soviet army will not be able to carry out a rapid assault, and the so-called strategy of great depth is an empty word.

"Chief of Staff, how is Fang Rui doing over there? Is there any complaint? ”

"No, so far, Fang Rui has not asked for reinforcements. The Soviet army has been attacking for a day and a half, and it was half the night last night, and Fang Rui was beaten back. But the casualties are not small, and his reserves have all been thrown in. ”

"Send him a company from the reserves, and tell him that the order given to us from above was to hold out for five days, and now only a day and a half have passed. Out of any basket, I'll shoot him. ”

Fang Rui, who was facing gunsmoke, looked out at the situation from the observation hole of the command headquarters, the defense line of his regiment was less than two thousand meters, and a large number of solid machine gun fire points had been constructed. Soviet artillery roughly destroyed a third of the vitality points, launched one attack after another twenty-two times, two of which were night battles. With strong fortifications, although Fang Rui's regiment suffered more than half of the casualties, it was still able to support it. When he was hesitating whether to ask the division commander for reserves, Fang Rui heard the phone ringing, and the chief of staff answered the phone, and then said with a happy face: "Regiment commander, good news, the division commander sent us a company of reinforcements." ”

"The division commander is really stingy, so he sent a company. Why do you need a battalion? Fang Rui muttered, and heard Liao Yaoxiang scolding his mother on the phone: "Fang Rui, I warn you, don't scold Lao Tzu behind your back." It's not that Lao Tzu doesn't send you more reinforcements, but now this battle has just begun, and Commander Zhang of the group army asked us to hold out for five days, and I must use every soldier carefully. I have good news for you, the Front has brought two infantry divisions from Dihua to reinforce Bardikurgan. ”

With a bang, there was a slight tremor in the command headquarters, and Fang Rui shouted at the top of his voice: "Master, Lao Maozi has started shelling again." ”

"It's strange, Lao Maozi's shelling time is shorter and shorter each time. Last time, it was half an hour of bombing, but this time it stopped in just ten minutes. Fang Rui emerged from the dreary command post and ran along the traffic trench. The air outside was filled with a thick pungent smell of gunpowder, and craters left by the 122 howitzer could be seen on the road.

"Lao Maozi's infantry came up, and they all prepared me for battle." The commander of the first battalion was hoarse, and his voice was already hoarse. After more than 10 hours of fighting, the officers and men on the position suffered considerable losses, and Lao Maozi's artillery fire was fierce.

"Lao Liu, how are you here?" Fang Rui appeared very suddenly, Liu Dayou was startled, and when he saw who was coming, he complained: "Tuanzao, what are you doing here?" Go back to your command position. ”

"Now that there are less than fifteen hundred people in the entire position, do you think it is necessary for me to stay in the headquarters?"

"You should be careful yourself, I can't take care of you when it comes to fighting." "you, when Lao Tzu was playing with Lao Maozi, you didn't see it. More than 100 old Maozi surrendered their guns and let me give them a surprise. ”

The Soviets advanced very quickly, and their starting position was in the trench five hundred meters away, and they began to trot when they came out. The mortars of the first battalion soon rang out, and the mortars of 82 caliber hit like rain. The 120 mortars belonging to the regiment have not moved, Fang Rui stayed in the position of the first battalion for a while, and then went to the position of the machine gun battalion.

Rushing into the headquarters of the machine gun battalion like a whirlwind, Fang Rui glared and scolded: "Why don't you open fire and suppress Maozi's infantry?" ”

"The regimental seat is here, and there is only half a base of shells, and I want to use it at a critical moment. Maozi's artillery fire was suppressed very fiercely, and the shells behind it have been intermittent. The fortifications here are well repaired, but there are no 120 mortar shells stored before. ”

Fang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, immediately picked up the phone, and was about to report the matter to the top when a young man wearing local clothes rushed in at the door and said loudly: "The cannonballs are here." ”

Fang Rui looked up and saw dozens of locals bending over with cannonballs on their shoulders. Compared with the Soviet Army's repressive rule in Central Asia, the Wehrmacht's more relaxed political and social environment is the reason for the support of the locals.

"Young man, why are you helping us carry the shells?" Fang Rui smiled and asked, the young man looked at him fearfully and said, "Lao Maozi's grain collection team killed many people in the village, and we have to take revenge." ”

The sound of machine guns in the forward position was like fried beans, Fang Rui's mind was retracted, and when he saw that Mao Zi's soldiers were black and oppressive on the position, he hurriedly said to the machine gun battalion: "Block Mao Zi's follow-up!" ”
