Chapter 884: Gathering Momentum
Tukhachevsky is telling the truth, but many times the truth is difficult to accept. Now, for example, the faces of both Trotsky and Stalin are ugly.
Once upon a time, the great Soviet Union once repelled the Fourteen-Nation Alliance from the Soviet Union, and now it can't even defend itself and expel the invading army?!
And the reason why the Soviets were weakened to such an extent is inseparable from Trotsky and Stalin. If they had not caused the internal antagonism in the Soviet Union, they would not have caused such great losses in the Soviet infighting.
What is even more serious is that for this reason, a large amount of resources and territory were gradually stripped from the Soviet Union. Vladivostok, that's how it was taken back by the Wehrmacht. Those rare treasures in Moscow, as well as oil and iron mines near Poland.
To put it bluntly, more than half of Germany's weapons and equipment are now manufactured from Soviet resources. Thinking that one day these weapons would reach the Soviet Union, countless Soviet soldiers were killed by the steel they sold.
The feelings of these leaders can be imagined. Tukhachevsky brought up this matter very uninterestingly, and said it so openly and justifiably.
Trotsky and Stalin's faces were naturally not good-looking, and they were already good-tempered when they didn't get angry on the spot.
Tukhachevsky also seemed to realize that his words had angered the two leaders, and immediately shut up. In fact, this can also be seen why, at the time of the Great Purge, this young and talented marshal was killed by Stalin without seeing it.
In fact, this gentleman is really not good at politics and communication, and in the words of later generations, this is called "high IQ and low emotional intelligence". Therefore, no matter how great his ability and achievements are, it is just an additive.
"I agree with Comrade Stalin, and in terms of defense I want Comrade Tukhachevsky to be directly responsible." Trotsky was sent by the old struggle, and when he suffered a loss, he immediately gave a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye.
This gave Tukhachevsky a trap. If you say you can't prevent it, then you can defend it. If you can't prevent it then, you'll fall for it. Defend it, what do you want to do now that you're all marshals?! A few medals will be added to you at most.
Stalin, on the other hand, was much more mature, although he was also a little annoyed with Tukhachevsky's unscrupulous words. But he knew that Tukhachevsky was indeed a very capable person.
If Stalin had done the same thing as Trotsky, he might have done the same, or even more ruthlessly, than Trotsky. But after the war of infighting in the Soviet Union, his whole person's performance in politics has been sublimated.
"Comrade Trotsky, Comrade Tukhachevsky has already said that he is optimistic about the situation of the war. So I would like to ask you all before deciding who exactly will go to the front, who is sure to stop the German invasion?! ”
Stalin did not directly excuse Tukhachevsky, but spoke this sentence first. The scene was suddenly silent. Tukhachevsky was the youngest marshal of the Soviet Union. His tactical and strategic talents are recognized by those present.
He saw it that way, and few dared to say that they were sure that they would be able to withstand the German invasion. And Germany's performance in the European war has been very clear, not everyone can defend against it.
"Since no one denies the words of Comrade Tukhachevsky, then we have to think about a question. How to plan for Comrade Tukhachevsky's tasks at the front. ”
Tukhachevsky nodded gratefully at Stalin, which was undoubtedly a relief for himself. Otherwise, once Tukhachevsky went to the front. It's good to succeed or fail, it's too easy to trouble him.
"I think that if Comrade Tukhachevsky can hold off the German offensive on the line from Leningrad to Volgograd, then he will already be considered successful." Stalin looked around the crowd and said: "The combat effectiveness of the German ** team is obvious to all. If Comrade Tukhachevsky had been able to do this, I think he would have done nothing for the Soviet Union. ”
Trotsky also seemed to see Tukhachevsky's gratitude to Stalin, and his heart was slightly unhappy. Tukhachevsky was originally his man. But at this moment it seemed to be on Stalin's side.
"I also agree with Comrade Stalin." Kalinin, who had not spoken, was very satisfied with Stalin's speech, and although he did not like Tukhachevsky, who was outspoken, he was always the most talented of the Soviet marshals.
"As long as Comrade Tukhachevsky can suppress the German army on the line from Leningrad to Volgograd, then his operation will be considered a success." Kalinin smiled and said: "At that time." We should reward him with a big medal! ”
Kalinin's witty remark caused a burst of laughter, but everyone knew that behind the laughter was Kalinin's thought: if something happens, you will be given a medal at most.
Time passed quickly, and the Spring Festival of 1939 came in the sound of firecrackers. Compared with the panic in Europe and the United States, China is jubilant.
Although Zhejiang and Shanghai are still in the area controlled by the Japanese army. However, the rest of the provinces were taken back by the IDF. Millions of troops marched with their heads held high, and no one would have thought that it would be impossible to drive out the Japanese.
"Living Buddha. I'll leave it all up to you to go back this time! Outside, the sound of firecrackers was non-stop, and in the reception room of the United Government Office in the imperial capital, Qu Ji Nyima sat on a chair with a smile and nodded at Tu Menghu.
Sitting on the main seat were Lin Sen, Yan Zhengqing and other high-ranking members of the coalition government, and Qu Ji Nyima had just arrived in the imperial capital. As early as 1933, the 13th Dalai had passed away.
But at that time, the Nanjing government had no way to manage it, and the British intervened openly and covertly, which led to chaos in Tibet. At that time, the Wehrmacht was actively preparing for war, and there was no way to go far into Tibet. So far, the 14th Dalai has not been found.
But now this is no longer a problem, and taking the Zhejiang War of Resistance will be regarded as the completion of the first phase of the task. In the future, without a strong navy, the Wehrmacht would not have been able to wage an ocean-going war against Japan.
"Li Hansoul's Fifth Legion will go back with you. Living Buddha, if there are still Britons who want to block the road this time......" A cold light flashed in Tu Menghu's eyes: "Then let them leave......"
"Our Tallinn Department is very good, believe me! I will not allow anyone to encroach on my hometown, and those with bad intentions will pay for their greed. The Living Buddha smiled and said to Tu Menghu: "My time is short, but please rest assured that the Tallinn Department is ancient." My hometown will always be a part of China! ”
Tu Menghu nodded, he absolutely believed in this living Buddha. But he was still a little worried, after all, it was easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows. Some people may not take risks for the sake of profit.
"Living Buddha, I will send a team of mountain guard dogs back with you to take care of your safety." Saying that, Tu Menghu paused, perhaps feeling that this was not enough to rest assured, and said to the adjutant beside him: "Find Meng Qingshan for me!" ”
"Yes!" The adjutant answered, and then ran out of the headquarters in small steps.
Qu Ji Nyima couldn't help but be stunned, he knew who Meng Qingshan was. The chief soldier, who had been the prince of Zasakdarhan, Namzil Selen, was arrested for going to Mukden to petition Prince Zasakdarhan.
Later, through the mediation of the commander-in-chief, he was finally released. He then joined the commander-in-chief's army. With the Tiger's southern expedition to the north, a lot of achievements have been made.
And this Gadamerin was also one of the first commanders of the Wehrmacht's tank forces, and now leads the Wehrmacht's 3rd Panzer Army. If there is no accident, he will lead the troops to the Zhejiang battlefield and be directly responsible for attacking the Zhejiang region.
"Whoo~huh~ report! Meng Qingshan, commander of the 3rd Guards Armored Army of the Chinese National Defense Forces, came to report! A short time later, a panting voice came from outside the door.
Obviously, Meng Qingshan didn't stop after receiving the order and rushed directly to him.
"Come in!" Tu Menghu laughed and said to the door. Not for a while. A bearded man wearing the uniform of a Wehrmacht lieutenant general strode into the reception room.
He first gave a military salute to everyone, and then said to Tu Menghu that he had come to report for duty. He also gave a military salute to the living Buddha.
"Gadamerin, eagle of the steppe! Can you still wield your knife now?! Can you still fight on horseback?! Without waiting for Gadamerin to ask anything, Tu Menghu suddenly said to this man.
These words made Gadamerin angry, and he vigorously puffed up his chest and answered loudly with all his strength: "Report to the commander-in-chief!" Nadamund is not old! As long as the commander-in-chief needs it, Nadamud can still ride a war horse, hold a scimitar as the commander-in-chief, and fight for the national defense force and the Chinese nation! ”
His voice was so loud that even the glass on the window that shook was humming. Looking at Gadamerin's unconvinced eyes. Tiger Slayer erupted in a barrage of laughter.
"Good! My favorite eagle really won't let me down! Tu Menghu patted Gadamerin on the shoulder and smiled, "Now, I'll give you a task." This task is extremely important! ”
"Commander-in-Chief, please give the order!" Gadamerin puffed out his chest, he didn't think he would be afraid. Late 918. He also fought with the Japanese army with his troops, and on the Korean battlefield, he drove a tank and commanded those men to launch attacks again and again.
According to Gadamerin's words to his comrades-in-arms, I am fighting with the heroes of the Immortals who have been given to the Mongols! In order to sacrifice the blood of those invaders to the great Genghis Khan.
"The Living Buddha wants to go back to his hometown. You should know that after the death of Da Lai, a new Da Lai has not yet been elected. Tu Menghu said solemnly to Gadamerin: "This time the Living Buddha went back, just for the sake of Da Lai. ”
"What I want to tell you is. Now there are quite a few people there who have some bad ideas. And when the Living Buddha goes back this time, he is likely to encounter danger. ”
Gadamerin nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice to his own commander: "Please rest assured, commander!" I know what to do! ”
"You go with your 3rd Panzer Army, remember! Anyone, I don't care about his nationality, I don't care where he comes from, as long as he dares to threaten the Living Buddha......"
"I'll use my scimitar in my hand to send him away!" Gadamerin didn't wait for the Tiger Slayer to speak, and then answered loudly.
New Year's firecrackers crackled, but the Wehrmacht did not rest and calm because of this. The logistics department constantly dispatched supplies to ensure that there would be no interruptions when the war began.
In order to adapt to the new war situation, various army groups and army corps began a comprehensive reorganization, and the army corps and group armies, which had been somewhat chaotic, also began a comprehensive readjustment.
First of all, the same is the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces. The second is the Army's Second Artillery Corps, which, due to its special reasons, is directly under the direct jurisdiction of the General Headquarters of the National Defense Forces.
The whole country, including North Korea, is divided into five theaters, namely: South China, North China, East China, Southwest China, and the North Korean Special Theater.
The South China Department appointed Li Zongren as commander of the South China Military Region with the rank of general. Subordinate: The 1st Army Corps of the South China Military Region. Corps Commander Liao Lei; South China 2nd Army, Commander Xia Wei; The 3rd Army Corps in South China, Corps Commander Tian Siyi.
At the same time, it is under the jurisdiction of the fighters and bombers of the three flight divisions of the Air Force Department of the South China Military Region, and Liu Cuigang is the commander of the Air Force of the South China Military Region.
This man who was reluctant to parachute in order to keep the plane in history but eventually led to the crash of the plane and the death of the man did not go to the aviation school of Nanjing State Government as in history.
He encountered 918 while studying at the Liaoning Provincial No. 1 Engineering School, and the man who watched the war eagles of the Wehrmacht fight to the death was also shocked.
He then enrolled in a junior aviation school and learned to fly under the tutelage of instructor Gao Zhihang. Subsequently, he participated in the Korean War twice and the current War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression with Gao Zhihang and others.
After entering the Air Force Command Department of the National Defense Force University, he was assigned to the South China Military Region as the commander of the Air Force. It is directly under the jurisdiction of the South China Military Region of the National Defense Forces.
And the South China Military Region also has an armored division directly under the South China Military Region Command! This armored division consisted of three armored tank regiments, an armored infantry regiment, an artillery regiment and a division headquarters.
The entire Panzer Division had three hundred and fifty tanks. Of course, now these tanks have not yet arrived. They were marching towards Canton, and since most of the area had been conquered, the railroad was beginning to be repaired.
A large amount of supplies, equipment and personnel are in the process of a full transition. And the armored division directly under the South China Military Region Command. The division commander was Major General Arslen.
This is also an old brother of Gadamerin, who has served as a cavalry platoon commander, company commander, and regiment commander of the Wehrmacht. Later, he was recommended by the commander of the department to enter the Armored Command Department of the National Defense Force University for further study.
After his release, he served as the commander of the armored regiment, and after the Second Korean War, he was promoted to the commander of the armored division.
The Gui system followed the corps system of the Wehrmacht, which means that they adopted the establishment of the corps, three armies, three divisions and six regiments. Under this establishment, each legion had 200,000 troops, and the troops under the three legions under Li Zongren were as high as 600,000.
Plus the Air Force, directly under the armored division. The troops under Li Zongren's command have reached as many as 700,000. The theaters under its jurisdiction are Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian.
Of course, according to the regulations of the coalition government, Li Zongren only had the command of the army and had no local jurisdiction. Local officials are all officials sent by the coalition government after evaluation.
On the North China side, Tu Mengben, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, is under the jurisdiction of the four regiments of the current North China Army, which are now the first, second, third, and fourth regiments of the former National Defense Forces, and at the same time has three armored guards group armies and three air force flying corps.
At the same time, it also has jurisdiction over the Wehrmacht naval fleet that has just arrived at Jinmen. The four corps totaled more than 800,000 people, and each of the three Guards Panzer armies had two armored corps under its jurisdiction, and each corps had two armored divisions under its jurisdiction.
Each division is about 17,000 men, which means that the three Panzer armies are 100,000 men. And the Air Force has 108 fighters per division. In addition, each division of ground support, radar brigade and ground defense is 10,000 people.
The Air Force Flying Corps has three flight divisions, each with 30,000 men and 325 fighters. In total, there are 90,000 men and 975 fighters in the three air force flying corps.
It includes the units directly under the General Headquarters of the Wehrmacht, namely: crows, mountain dogs, and garrison commands at the army level...... Wait. The entire North China Theater has as many as 1.5 million troops.
Except for the special points of the North China Military Region, which has a higher strength than other regions. The rest of the theaters are the same as those of the South China Theater, maintaining the combat strength of the three army corps, and at the same time directly administering one flying corps and one directly subordinate armored division as combat forces.
It does not include the Nanyang Sub-Military District, which is now small in force and has not been announced. The total strength of the entire Wehrmacht is now 4.3 million in the five theaters. Of these, excluding the 700,000 troops in the Korean theater, the number of combat troops in the country is 3.6 million.
And now after a series of battles. The total strength of the Japanese army's troops on the front line in Zhejiang and Shanghai, that is, the two front armies of Central China and South China, plus the Shanghai Dispatch Army, remained at about 1 million.
And the puppet army they controlled, including those bought by Wang Zhaoming in the early stage and those who took refuge in the later stage, totaled 500,000. In order to prevent the Wehrmacht from attacking the Japanese mainland, more than 300,000 people were placed in Korea.
Including the 200,000 coerced troops recruited from North Korea, the number of troops in North Korea will be more than 500,000.
After the adjustment of the National Defense Force was completed, Tu Menghu asked Jia Xiaohou to arrest Jia Xiaohou in the secret research room outside the imperial capital.
"It worked!" This was the only thing Jia Xiaohou said when he saw his commander-in-chief, and after finishing speaking, the old man fainted as soon as he closed his eyes.
Tu Mengben was startled on the spot, and pulled the old man to quickly find a doctor to see. After the examination, the doctor only said that it was overwork, and it was good to rest for a while. Then I was prescribed some vitamins and the like, and I quit.
Jia Xiaohou fainted for a while, and then woke up. Tu Mengben had to go and see their new masterpiece - the new Tiger Moth Fighter!
This is the result of Jia Xiaohou getting the Huang family's secret recipe and leading people to fight day and night for more than a month, and after more than half a month of continuous wind tunnel testing, Jia Xiaohou and others have preliminarily determined that the aircraft has reached their standards. It was specially come to inform Tu Menghu that it had succeeded.
