724 Stalin Assault III Mission Impossible

The information provided by the General Staff of the Polish Army on the movement and build-up of troops in the western part of the Soviet Union and the "Pilsudski Plan" formulated by them were soon sent to the General Staff of the Chinese Wehrmacht in Wuhan

"Things are getting more and more interesting, this time it was actually the Soviet Union that was going to attack Poland, and it looked like the whole history was going to be turned upside down," Luo Yaoguo kept shaking his head while looking at the report sent by Wu Tuohao himself, the Soviet Union's large-scale build-up on its western defense line seemed to be Stalin's desperate gamble, of course, this kind of active attack on Germany and Poland, which were almost fully armed, was almost a kind of so-so suicide, perhaps, those careless Poles would be beaten by the Soviets in the early days of the war, However, when Germany joined, the situation on the battlefield would soon change, and the Soviets would pay a heavy price for their risky moves, unless the Germans would die in the event of an attack on Poland, and even if the Soviet Union and Germany had reached some kind of tacit understanding on the Polish question......

So he immediately took a plane and secretly went to Shanghai to meet his old lover, the Russian Empress Anastasia, who is now on vacation in Shanghai, this woman is a pure-blooded Germanic and has many relatives among the German nobles, so she has a very good grasp of the news of Germany After listening to Luo Yaoguo's question, the Empress just smiled, "My marshal, you can rest assured that Natalie's motherland will not perish, and the German Führer also thinks that it is difficult for the Poles to rule, so ...... He will not choose to perish Poland" The Empress shrugged her almost ** plump snow-white shoulders "You should be able to understand it, just as you don't want a strong Japan, the Führer doesn't want an overly powerful Great Poland to appear in the east of Germany and get the southern territories of the USSR - Ukraine, Belarus, Transcaucasia and other places is his long-standing dream"

"Will that happen?" Luo Yaoguo frowned, didn't this Hitler carve up Poland with the Soviet Union in another time and space?

"Of course, what do you think he'd do? And Stalin to divide Poland? If Germany and Poland were not allies...... I believe that he can do it, but not now, Bode is an ally, if he does this, Germany's reputation will be ruined, do you China dare to form an alliance with him? Will we, Russia, still believe him? I'm afraid that even the Mussolini in Italy can't believe Hitler, besides, Poland has now signed an alliance treaty with Britain and France, if the Soviet Union attacks Poland, Britain and France will also declare war on the Soviet Union, will Hitler be stupid enough to let go of this great opportunity to destroy the Soviet Union? Anastasia analyzed that it was the head and the way

"Oh, do you think Britain and France will really declare war on the USSR?" General Luo Yaoguo shook his head suspiciously

"Yes, although they will not really enter the war, it is just to declare a state of war with the Soviet Union, otherwise the Soviet Union will not dare to attack Poland in a desperate ......"

Speaking of which, Empress Anastasia stood up and dragged the burgundy court dress to her desk, picked up a folder from it and handed it to Luo Yaoguo: "This is some information sent back by our spy agents lurking in Moscow, I think you will be interested."

Luo Yaoguo opened the folder and looked at it, his face suddenly became solemn, it turned out that this was a report on the most weapons and equipment of the Soviet Union, and on the first page of the report, there was a huge tank 28 tank, which existed in Luo Yaoguo's memory in his previous life, but it was not too impressive, far less than the famous T-34, but it seemed to be quite majestic, and I don't know how it would behave on the battlefield? Turning to the second page, he saw a 57mm anti-tank gun, codenamed the Year Anti-Tank Gun, which was used against tanks, although the Empress's intelligence officers did not provide specific performance data for this gun, only in photographs and estimates of the huge number

However, seeing that it is at least 60 times the diameter of the barrel, anyone with a certain amount of military experience can imagine that it has a huge armor-piercing ability Luo Yaoguo was a little surprised that the Soviet side seemed to be very satisfied with the performance of this anti-tank gun According to Stalin's instructions, the Soviet military industry is working at full capacity to produce this expensive cannon at the largest possible output Due to the complex process of the long barrel and the high price of the rare metals that need to be added, The cost of such artillery is almost several times that of field artillery

Obviously, the Soviets had no choice but to develop and produce powerful 57mm anti-tank guns to meet the needs of a powerful 57mm anti-tank gun, which was not good news for China and Germany, which had huge armor clusters

Further back, there are some Soviet fighter jets, technical data and photos of this aircraft is made of high-quality wood, the engine is a 750 hp nine-cylinder star engine, equipped with a machine gun that looks like the engine and aluminum alloy ordered from the Republic Company are used to imitate this aircraft...... However, for this kind of aircraft, Luo Yaoguo is not worried at all, this time and space under his vigorous promotion, the aviation industry in China and Germany is developing very rapidly, and the two aircraft that are currently being tested have almost reached the level of 1941 in history, BMW's famous 14-cylinder star engine, B01 has completed all the development and design work, Daimler AG and BMW are also preparing to start production, and the same in-line engine has been developed at 1,200 hp, and these aircraft engines can be produced at both the Sino-German Aircraft Company and the Republic Aircraft Company engine plants in China

"Is there any wine?" Luo Yaoguo closed the folder and leaned his body against the sofa

"Vodka or Champagne?" Although Anastasia asked so, she took out a bottle of French champagne from the wine cabinet and poured a glass for Luo Yaoguo

"Thank you" Luo Yaoguo took the wine glass, took a sip lightly, and said: "My dear, your intelligence came very timely, especially that kind of anti-tank gun...... I didn't expect Stalin to attach such importance to anti-tanks, and the 57mm gun, which is more than 60 times the diameter of the gun, is expensive, and I hope not all troops can be equipped."

"Isn't it just a cannon?"

"So, where do they appear?" Luo Yaoguo took another sip of wine

The Empress walked up behind him and gently massaged his shoulders, "If there are hundreds of gates at the same time in the main direction of your armored assault, things will not be easy?" ”

"There may be heavy losses, but the final victory is mine," Luo Yaoguo raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, and smiled:

"Because weapons are not Stalin's only have, tomorrow I will take you to see our fighter jet, there are two most models, one of which was developed with the Germans, the designer is Messerschmidt, the official number is BF-109, tomorrow you can see the first model to be put into production - BF-109 is equipped with the most production 1100 hp B type or DB-601N type in-line engine, the fuselage is made of the most duralumin alloy...... Armament is aviation machine guns and 2 20mm caliber MGFF cannons; The maximum range is 1200 km, and the maximum range is 560 kmh"

…… There is also an airplane designed by your subjects Seversky and Katveli, a dive bomber that can also be converted into a torpedo bomber equipped with a 14-cylinder B01 star engine with 1,400 hp; maximum degree 410, maximum cruise degree 310; The practical ceiling is 7290 meters, and the maximum range is 1400 kilometers; It can carry bombs with a total weight of 1800 kg, and the maximum dive angle is 90 degrees, which is almost a vertical dive"

"Well, that sounds very advanced," Anastasia didn't have any idea of weapons or anything, but seeing Luo Yaoguo's excitement, she casually echoed a few times: "But when will these weapons of yours be put into use?" Will it be put into service before the winter of 1937? My Commander-in-Chief, Field Marshal Denikin, believed that the Soviet Union would launch an attack on Poland before the winter of 1937, estimated in September or October"

"Oh, what does Marshal Denikin think? Why do you know? Luo Yaoguo thought for a moment and asked, "Why isn't it winter?" Aren't you Russians not afraid of the cold? As he spoke, he raised his arm and pointed at the large patch of bare skin on the Empress's shoulder

The Empress laughed and squinted at him, "Uh-oh, we Russians are not polar bears, how can we not be afraid of the cold?" I am also afraid of the cold, so I will come to warm Shanghai to spend the winter, and Russia is too vast, so the infrastructure there is not as good as Western Europe, as soon as it enters the winter, there will be a large period of time when the roads are muddy and difficult to pass, which will be a disaster for the logistics of millions of troops After the mud passes, the whole land will be frozen and will be covered with ice and snow, which is very unfavorable to the attacking side, you should know that the attacking officers and soldiers will become stiff and slow, and the enemy's fortifications will be frozen hard...... These difficulties are no less common for the Russians

So the General Staff of the Russian Army and Commander-in-Chief Denikin agreed that the Soviet Red Army would launch a surprise attack on Poland a month or two before the winter of 1937, and their goal was to crush Poland before the winter came, and then switch to the defense, so that the Germans could launch an offensive in the winter, of course, in case of defeat, the Red Army could also withdraw to the Stalinist line in time under the cover of the harsh winter, and their Far Eastern Front could also use the winter to retreat to the western part of the Soviet Union in an orderly manner"

"Well, it makes sense, if you launch an offensive before winter, if you can't defeat Poland in one to two months, the Red Army can only turn to the way" Luo Yaoguo said, he frowned and nodded slightly, how will Red Russia fight, the clearest thing is probably White Russia, "That is to say, we also have a month to surround the Soviet Far Eastern Front, but, Empress, are you sure that these more than a million people will be submitted?" These armies are vital to your empire."

In fact, Luo Yaoguo's willingness to support the "Russian Empire" is sincere, after all, it is a very threatening thing to be a neighbor with a German Führer who is not very normal, although so far, Hitler has shown enough friendliness to China, but Luo Yaoguo has not forgotten that this person is the biggest demon of the twentieth century, who knows which day the Führer will be hot-headed and feel that he wants the Aryans to rule the world, so he sent troops to the east...... Even if he doesn't fight, a Germany that has annexed and digested Russia is too strong, and sooner or later it will be a scourge to China, so a "strong" enough Russian empire must exist between China and Germany, and if this empire exists, and Anastasia becomes the empress of this empire, then the 100 to 1.5 million Soviet Red Army in the Far East cannot be slaughtered

This is also the main reason why Luo Yaoguo has always refused to go to war with China and G...... Although China and G are not so easy to deal with, but Inner and Outer Mongolia can be captured at the first time, where the main grassland and desert terrain is where the mechanized troops exert their power, and the two living Buddhas that the Mongolian people believe in are in the hands of the Nationalist Government, so it is not a problem to take Inner and Outer Mongolia, the problem is that once Mongolia is controlled by the Nationalist Government, the Soviet Army in the Far East has no way to fight it, they can only abandon East Siberia, dismantle the Trans-Siberian Railway, and then withdraw the troops back to the western part of the Soviet Union. Not only will it be more difficult for Germany to defeat the Soviet Union on the Soviet-German battlefield, but the chips in the hands of the Russian empress will also be greatly reduced, without enough troops and territory, her empire is likely to be destroyed by Hitler, and the German Führer in history has not raised any puppet regime on the territory of the Soviet Union......

"Do you mean to launch an offensive in October 1937 and end the fighting in November?" Anastasia stopped the "massage" in her hand, crossed her arms and pondered: "Impossible, it is absolutely impossible to wipe out the 1.5 million troops who are holding the defense in a month, this is absolutely impossible to do, dear, you didn't drink too much?" ”

Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly and said, "Uh-if you want to kill all 1.5 million Russians in the defense line, of course it's impossible...... I don't want to kill so many people, you know, I'm very kind-hearted, I just want you to guide them on the right path, of course, before that, I have to defeat them, my initial idea is to crush the mobile corps of the Red Army in the Far East, capture Chita, cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway, let the rest of the army fall into our encirclement, and then you, the Empress of Russia, will come forward to persuade you to surrender, so that you have more than 2 million troops, even Hitler can't swallow you in one bite, Anas, do you say? ”

"Oh, then you're worried that I'll be eaten by Hitler," the Empress slanted at him affectionately, "Well, we Russians are actually still very afraid of death, unless you drink too much vodka, and if you put these troops in a desperate situation, I think they will be willing to come to my side...... Is this better than slowly rotting in a prisoner of war camp? And I can also confer titles and official positions on the Bolsheviks who wish to take refuge in me, like Trotsky's subordinates, who are now all faithful servants of the Empress? She frowned slightly, "But, can you really surround them in a month?" ”

"Of course"

The Empress blinked, "Honey, can you reveal a little bit?" ”

"Okay" Luo Yaoguo stood up and walked to the edge of the wine cabinet, and poured himself another glass of champagne, during this time he was good at drinking, "First of all, of course, it is unexpected, this is the effect that any military operation wants to pursue...... I will convince everyone that the Chinese military operation will begin in April 1938, not in 1937, so that the Soviet troops in the Far East will take it lightly and then take it by surprise and surprise the right way, Anas, how is the special unit I asked you to prepare is being trained now? ”

"There are already three thousand men ready, all of whom have been rigorously selected and trained by Count Slyoksky and the German affairs advisers, who have the best combat skills and can disguise themselves as Soviet troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs...... Even Stalin couldn't tell the difference when he saw it," Anastasia said, "and this unit was formed under the name of the 'Empress Guard', and it has been in closed training, and few people know their true role"

Luo Yaoguo took another big sip of wine, "Very good, I want you to hand over this unit to the command of our Airborne Forces Command"

"Okay" Anastasia nodded, not asking the other party why

"And a precise map of the Siberian region, especially around the Trans-Siberian Railway, is it ready?" Luo Yaoguo asked again

"It's ready, it was Archduke Alexander who got it for me, it was all measured by the Russian Imperial War Department, and I will have brought the map to Shanghai with 100% accuracy."

Luo Yaoguo nodded, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of smugness, "Siberia is too vast, and the Trans-Siberian Railway is a little too long...... To cut it off, in fact, it is not so difficult, it is not necessary to have hundreds of thousands of troops at all, as long as there are a small number of commandos and an airborne army...... And then there's the blitzkrieg" (to be continued)
