July 5, 20 years of the Republic of China.

Heilongjiang, Lindian Zhaodong Front. The offensive of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of China lasted for three whole days, and more than 100,000 rounds of artillery shells were fired out in full accordance with the firepower "firing" plan formulated by the Soviet military advisers before the war. And the artillery of the Trotskyist coalition army to return fire became more and more intense. Countless TNT explosives turned the battle line between the two armies, as well as the positions on the first line of the two armies, into a hell of fire. The ground became the surface of the moon, smoke rolled in the trenches, and the soldiers curled up in the anti-artillery holes to endure it all. Comparatively speaking, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, which was still attacking, suffered greater losses.

On May 12, the Trotskyist coalition army for the first time "Lindian~

After the victory of the Battle of Zhaodong, they began to carefully arrange their defensive line, and the entire front was covered with deer barricades, minefields, barbed wire, and countless machine-gun occurrence points and permanent fortifications. It's unbelievable to say, the two families of the Chinese G and the Trotskyists in this time and space seem to like to fight positional warfare! On the contrary, the Kuomintang army now attaches more importance to fighting a "movement" campaign...... In the first "Lindian... After the Battle of Zhaodong, the Trotskyists and GCD set up a decisive battle on the meadow of the Great Northern Wilderness. Both sides mobilized elite main forces and hundreds of thousands of artillery pieces of various kinds, and opened a battle line tens of kilometers wide in the wasteland. After some careful preparations, in the early morning of July 3, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of China first opened the prelude to the tragic and abnormal second "Battle of Lindian Zhaodong".

However, the three-day offensive failed to break through the enemy's defensive line, and four corps, one artillery division, and nearly 130,000 officers and men launched more than 20 infantry offensives ranging in scale from thousands to 10,000 men in these three days! But in the face of the impregnable defenses of the damned Trotskyist enemy, all these twenty attacks ended in heavy losses without exception!

Unlike previous operations, this time the battle was conducted entirely under the organization of Soviet military advisers. For the officers of the Red Army of China, it was a rare opportunity to learn about modern warfare. As a result of this battle, there will be a qualitative leap in the organization of the Red Army's firepower, logistical arrangements, coordination of air, ground, technical weapons, and the level of staff management of the High Command! Of course, the tuition fee is also very high, except for the corpses that have been transported down and the wounded who have been carried down in batches. These things, the senior generals of the Red Army have been accustomed to in the war against Japan, and this battle will not be more tragic than the Battle of Liaoxi, right? But the wounded who were evacuated in the Allied army's gas warfare, when thousands of wounded soldiers whose eyes were temporarily blinded by mustard gas held the shoulders of the man in front of them and slowly came down from the position, it still caused the greatest shock to these Red Army generals! This Wang Zhongyi has actually unscrupulously reached this point! They actually used poison gas in the civil war!! This war is indeed too cruel! As for whether it is possible to defeat such an unscrupulous enemy, who will fight to the end, there are vague doubts in the hearts of some people.

Su U walked into his division headquarters and leaned on the marching chuáng tiredly. The inside of the neck is full of dust. The clothes have not been changed since the war, and now they have long since changed their appearance. His Red 18th Division also participated in several rounds of attacks and is now resting, and it is estimated that it will be dispatched again in two days. Today, he arrived to watch the battle with officers above the company level of the 18th Red Division.

Today, the fighting is still bloody and fierce. The attacking troops on the front line, having paid heavy losses, advanced another kilometer. But the spearhead of the attack has been completely blunted. Some units are reluctant to jump out of the trenches even if they are mobilized, and the casualties of some front-line companies have far exceeded the 30 percent dangerous cordon. Everyone became irritable, who knew that the resistance of those treacherous bandits was so rich! And they even have terrible poison gas! I don't know when the Kuomintang provided them with these weapons?

Moreover, in the past few days, the Trotskyist army has also frantically drawn reserve troops from the rear to strengthen its strength and firepower. Follow the report of aerial reconnaissance. The train transportation of the Trotskyist army was extremely busy, and their sappers were desperately reinforcing the second line behind the first line of defensive positions that they were struggling to support.

The third line of defense looks like this feint has achieved the desired effect! The main force of the Trotskyist army has been attracted from Méng Gu to the Heilongjiang front, as long as it lasts for a few days, the Western Front Corps in charge of the surprise attack should be killed from behind the Trotsky, and their main force will be surrounded in the wasteland west of Heilongjiang in one fell swoop! Let's hope there are no surprises before that...... An ominous premonition loomed in the heart of Master Su Yu at this time, this seems to be the sixth sense of a famous general, right?

At this moment, the General Headquarters of the GCIST Alliance Army outside Jijihar City is already a tense and busy atmosphere. It looks like the headquarters is moving forward. The confidential officer was sorting out the papers, the communications officer was busy collecting the telephone lines, and the antenna of the radio station was also removed. Messengers on horseback came and went. An improvised road in front of the headquarters was dusty. Commander-in-Chief Wang Zhongyi, dressed in a general's uniform with a pen, stood in the courtyard with several officers and was talking hurriedly. From the brow he had been tightly wrinkling, you could feel his nervousness at the moment. Although he was full of confidence in the decisive battle plan formulated by Lin Yurong, he was also satisfied with the current battle situation. l But for the immediate counterattack, my heart is still full of worries!

Now the battle plan of the Union Army ... It was formulated on the basis of Luo Yaoguo's suggestion, and after careful consideration, Lin Yurong, chief of staff of the Alliance Army, chose to concentrate the main force on the Lindian Yizhao East Front in the west of Heilongjiang to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, first breaking the four Red Army corps here, and then returning to the body to fight a decisive battle with the three Red Army corps that might attack from Chahar... The information in Lin Yurong's hands is too limited, and he can only determine that the Red Army regiments on the front line of Lindian Zhaodong are four, and as for where the other legions are, he can only rely on guessing! Therefore, choosing to defeat the enemy with a clear situation is also his inevitable choice......

Lin Yurong's battle plan... It was a conservative defensive counterattack that secretly concentrated the five main armies of the alliance army on the east line of Lindian Zhaodong, leaving only one army to defend the old nest Zhongyi Fort. However, the five armies concentrated in Heilongjiang put on the posture of a weakling, and only strictly defended to attract the Red Army to attack. Lin Yurong estimated that the Red Army would feint to attack the defense line of the Allied Army in order to attract the main force of the Allied Army to mobilize from Méng Gu to Heilongjiang. According to the calculation of the distance, the feint of the Red Army should last at least six days, and then move to the defensive, waiting for the troops of the Western Front to attack Zhongyi Fort. Therefore, the main force of the alliance army should launch a surprise counterattack in these six days, and use 150,000 troops to defeat the opponent's weakened four legions in one fell swoop! to lay the foundation for victory in this war. But now that it is only the third day,........., why can't the Red Army be weakened a little more? The losses of the Red Army in these three days should be between 10,000 and 20,000 men, wouldn't it be better if they fought for two more days?

There was another puff of smoke and dust on the road, and a small car sped towards it. In the alliance army, there are only a few people who can be equipped with cars, such as Wang Zhongyi, Lin Yurong, and Tang Yao. The one on the car should be Lin Yurong who came in response! Wang Zhongyi stopped talking to a few of his subordinates and strode into the war room that was being organized, where the deputy chief of staff, the chief of staff, and a group of senior staff officers were waiting. Tian Chengye, the commander of the Third Army Corps of the Alliance Army, was also here, discussing something in a low voice with the deputy chief of staff in front of the map. It is this Third Army that will shoulder the burden of counterattack.

The sound of military boots sounded at the door, and I saw Lin Yurong and Chen Tian, the commander of the Second Army of the Alliance Army, striding in. Wang Zhongyi stood there looking at them, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Wang Zhongyi nodded, beckoned at Lin Yurong, and called him to the table: "Yurong, tonight's attack plan... Ready to get started? ”

Lin Yurong nodded, took the battle plan from the adjutant beside him and explained it to Wang Zhongyi. This plan... It's simple, so simple that it can be explained in just a few sentences. It was to use more than 700 artillery pieces to cooperate with the Fifth Army of the Third Army of the Allied Army to launch an attack operation, and all three divisions were deployed, with the first two divisions being the 13th and 14th Divisions and the 15th Division being placed in the rear to support. The infantry, with artillery fire, attacked a section of the Red Army's 12th Army defense, which was on the left flank of the entire Red Army line, also on a wasteland, where the Red 12th Army had built a long line of trenches. There were about two regiments of field artillery providing fire support to this corps. Behind them is the railway line and the county town of Zhaodong, which is estimated to be the storage place of logistics and supplies for the Red Army, and as long as it is captured, the entire front of the Red Army will collapse! Therefore, no matter how much sacrifice the Third Army of the Union Army has to complete this task!

Wang Zhongyi pressed his finger on the map, didn't speak for a long time, but his face was quite dignified, and he said calmly after a while: "Yurong, why don't you wait a few days?" Let the Red Army weaken a little more............... maybe we can break through more easily. ，…

"Don't dare!" Lin Yurong smiled bitterly: "Where are the three legions of the Red Army?" No news until now! To say that they are in Chahar is just a guess, these days the Kuomintang planes, our intelligence officers are almost rummaging through Chahar, and nothing has been found except for two Zhang Xueliang's regiments! This situation is so abnormal! Therefore, we must defeat the enemy as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Even if it's a little bigger, it's worth it......"

On the night of July 5th.

In Zhaodong County, in the war room of the Red Army's Eastern Front Corps, the Red Army officers and advisers from China and the Soviet Union gathered around the huge sand table. At this time, the Soviet adviser Chuikov was holding a baton, and he was somewhat arrogant and complacent to introduce the current battle situation to Zhou Elai and "Mao" ZD, who had just arrived at the front line to supervise the war. Of course, he had reason to be proud, and as the maker of the entire battle plan, he was certainly full of confidence in the battle when the whole battle situation was developing as expected.

The progress of the battle situation can be said to be clear at a glance on the sand table. The Red Army's Eastern Front Corps fought bloody battles with the allied forces on the Lindian-Zhaodong front for many days, and although the losses were not light, they had completely attracted the main force of the other side, and it could be said that the combat goal had been achieved! And the Corps of the Western Front has now reached Abagatu on the Sino-Soviet border by rail transport, and has completed its deployment. And according to reconnaissance, except for a small number of local armed forces and the armed forces of the ancient Méng tribe on the opposite side, there is no main force of trotters! As long as the order is given, the army can cross the border, occupy the line from Manchuria to Hailar, and cut off the retreat of the Trotten army! In one fell swoop, at least 150,000 Toto's bandit army could be surrounded in the western part of Heilongjiang... And then stuff flanks. The old launched the battle of Qiqihar and smashed the main force of the Trotskyist army here! As long as these main forces were eliminated, then the whole of Méng Gu would naturally fall into the hands of the Red Army. At that time, even if it tore its face with the Kuomintang reactionaries in the south, the Red Army would be able to rely on the huge strategic room for maneuver to hold out to the end! And the rear of the USSR was also guaranteed! The key to the battle now is not to be broken by the coalition army before the eastern line of Lindian Zhaodong crosses the Great Xing'an Mountains of the Western Front Corps!

After listening to Cui Kefu's explanation, "Mao" zd patted his knees and slowly stood up, he looked at the sand table for a long time, and then said: "Then the decisive battle is tonight!" ”

His words surprised everyone, and they looked at this Turkist-Leninist who was always a little chattering with suspicion. "Mao" zd lightly pointed to the direction of Chahar on the sand table: "The key target of the Kuomintang and the Trotten bandits is Chahar, so their intelligence officers and planes will definitely increase their search efforts, relying on Zhang Xueliang's two regiments to bluff there may not be able to hide it, no!" You can't hide it! Wang Zhongyi and that Lin Yurong are not fools, and neither are Luo Yaoguo and An Sihua, so they may see through our plan at any time and launch a counterattack! So I propose to order the front-line troops to cancel tomorrow's offensive plan, move to the defensive, and ............... all night on all fronts"

At this time, Wang Zhongyi, Lin Yurong, Tang Yao, Tian Chengye and other high-level leaders of the alliance army have also gathered at the former enemy command post in Lindian County, Wang Zhongyi is also like "Mao" ZD, looking at the sand table for a long time: "Yurong, a country of 1 million square kilometers, it depends on tonight's decisive battle!" Are you sure? ”

After more than two months of this war between the Chinese and the Trotskyists, it is finally going to a high tide on this night, and both sides have made the determination to be ready to make the greatest sacrifices! The decisive battle is really coming.

And this night in Lushan, because he felt that this war related to the entire layout of the Soviet Union had reached the most critical juncture, Luo Yaoguo was also sleepless all night, pounced on the Lushan command post of the General Staff. As for the three Red Army corps that disappeared, he was also trying his best to speculate based on the available intelligence, and the most critical factor in this war was obviously the location of these three corps! As soon as they appear at the most critical moment, there is a good chance that the Union forces will lose the war! At that time, the Kuomintang army will have to consider whether to go into battle shirtless, and the peace-building situation he has been maintaining will also be declared over because of this full-scale civil war. Now history has actually come to a critical crossroads! Whether China supports the Trotskyists in provoking a civil war in the Soviet Union, or whether the Soviet Union supports China and the Nationalist government in waging war against the Nationalist "government" depends on the decisive battle that begins tonight and the revolution that will take place in two days!

“… According to the intelligence, they will go to Zhaodong County to supervise the battle, and it is estimated that the decisive battle will begin in a few days. Medium g

The Red Air Force has been intensively dispatching for several days to continuously search the area controlled by the Allied Army west of Lindian Yizhao, and it is estimated that it has discovered the movements of the main forces of the Allied Army. But the Red 3rd, 4th, and 5th Red Army Corps of the Red Army still did not appear. …，

"The main force of the coalition army has been concentrated on the front line of Lindian ~ Zhaodong in Heilongjiang, and fought with the Red Army for three days and nights, repelling more than 20 attacks of the Red Army in a row, killing and wounding more than 20,000 enemies, and losing nearly 10,000 of its own, and the defense line is still stable. After many familiar discussions, the General Headquarters of the Allied Army, in order to seize the initiative on the battlefield, plans to launch the main offensive at 11 o'clock tonight, and strive to defeat the enemy in front of the Red Army before the Red 3rd, 4th, and 5th Red Army Corps of the Red Army are dispatched and lock in the victory......"

Natalie put down the long electricity in her hand, and a pair of beautiful eyebrows stared at Luo Yaoguo opposite, as if waiting for him to make some decision. Luo Yaoguo walked silently to the huge sand table in the middle of the war room, looking at the mountains and rivers there and groaning silently. After a while, he whispered: "Is the telegram from Traceless here?" Where did Trotsky's men go? Was it discovered by the Soviets? ”

Natalie pulled out a copy of the newspaper. There were top secret words on it, and they began to read word by word: "...... The northbound fleet entered the Sea of Okhotsk this afternoon and is expected to reach the port of Magadan and launch an uprising within two days.

Up to now, the flotilla's whereabouts had remained undetected by Soviet ships, and the Japanese warships encountered along the way had not been suspicious of the flotilla."

Luo Yaoguo just smiled faintly: "Yes, yes, it seems that Trotsky's uprising is still a little hopeful, and even the usual careful [Japan] himself pretends to be deaf and dumb about the fleet passing through the [Japan] Benhai." Now it's up to Wang Zhongyi and Lin Yurong"... As he spoke, he looked up at the wall clock on the wall, the hour hand was now approaching the Roman numeral eleven, and it was only a few minutes before the scheduled launch of the Alliance counterattack. He sighed lightly again: "I don't know how the preparations for Zhongg's raid are?" Those three legions of theirs must be preparing to attack somewhere......... It's just that we don't know, just as they don't know that the coalition forces are about to launch a counterattack, they don't know that Trotsky is about to launch an uprising in Magadan, and they don't know that the history of this world has been changed by me"!
