On Thursday, July 24, 1941, the third day after the Great Heat of the Chinese Lunar Calendar, but in Manchuria in the hinterland of the Hulunbuir Prairie, the cool breeze did not make people feel the heat of midsummer.

Manchuria was originally called "Khorezin Prague", which means "vigorous spring" in Mongolian. In 1901, it was named after the construction of the Dongqing Railway, and the Russian language is "Manchuria", which is transliterated into Chinese and becomes "Manchuria".

At this time, Manchuria had become a huge military station. In the "Heavenly Song" plan formulated by the General Staff of the Reich against Soviet Russia, Manchuria was an important node. The Northern Army of the Grand Alliance commanded by Ye Weixun was divided into three front armies, and Manchuria was the assembly place and material base camp of the Left Route Army. Taking advantage of the Manchuria railway line, the Allies piled up a large amount of supplies here. It was once proposed to set up a material transit point in the border cities located at the forefront of the war, and this was not a target for Soviet artillery fire?

But His Majesty agreed to the plan. His Majesty's explanation for the opposition in the Wei Qing Pavilion is: The front line? Who told you that Manchuria came from the front?

Yes, from His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and Chief of General Staff Ye Zhiqiu, down to the army and divisional commanders who implemented the "Heavenly Song" plan, no one in the Han army regarded Manchuria as the front line. In the mind of Chen Shukang, commander of the Left Route Army, once the war starts, the "front line" will at least be Chita, where the headquarters of the Trans-Baikal Military District is located, and Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.

This is not hubris!

After completing the task of Jin Cheng with the rank of general, the authority of the base for the supreme commander has been greatly unsealed. I wonder if Stalin would have easily uttered words like "yellow-haired child" after he had clearly understood the truth about the explosion in Gibu, Japan. Zhong Yi did not plan to use atomic bombs in the war against Russia, and after testing the "little naughty", more than ten atomic bombs produced by the base were mothballed.

"The atomic bomb is a demon, a demon that can destroy humanity, and unless the empire encounters insurmountable difficulties, atomic bombing should no longer be used casually!" These were Zhong Yi's words to a few insiders in the Weiqing Pavilion, and to the outside world, he claimed that the Royal Air Force's strategic bomber unit had used a powerful new type of incendiary bomb in Qibu.

Everyone also knows that this secret will not be maintained for long, Germany, the United States and even the Soviet Union are secretly developing atomic explosion technology, but His Majesty's request is to keep it for as long as it can, and once the news that the empire has built an atomic bomb spreads, then it is necessary to do its utmost to promote the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, and not let mankind destroy the earth on which it depends.

In addition to the atomic bomb, the base technology has also made great progress with the efforts of tens of thousands of scientists in the war laboratory. The application of technologies such as composite armor, infrared guidance, high-power turbofan engines, and advanced radar miniaturization has greatly improved the equipment level of the Guards. In line with this, with the scientific and technological progress of the War Laboratory, the military and even civilian science and technology of the South China people have developed rapidly, and the Minister of Science and Technology of the Empire once declared in a cabinet meeting that it is expected that by the fifth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a large number of industrial technologies of the Empire will occupy a leading position in the world.

The Guards Corps has been expanded to 10 corps, and the two armored corps equipped with Tiger II medium tanks have all been transferred to northern China. This is also one of the reasons why Zhong Yi is full of confidence in the "Heavenly Song" plan. Composite armor was invented by the British in the previous life, known as Chobham armor, but in this life, aside from the level of science and technology and other reasons, it is estimated that the British have no mind to study what armor now, how to get more and more advanced aircraft to defend the British sky is Churchille's biggest headache.

As the world's first Tiger tank equipped with composite armor, it will surely be able to enter the wolf pack and show its king style when facing the Soviet Union's tank sea in Siberia.

As for the Air Force, the appearance of 1,200 Tianlong fighters plus the Fire Phoenix infrared actively-guided air-to-air missiles, I believe that the Soviet MiG fleet can enjoy it very well.

In the Weiqing Pavilion, His Majesty and several military bigwigs have been staying in the conference room for three days, and when they are really sleepy, they just go to their respective offices to sleep for a while. Today, the "Heavenly Song" plan has finally entered the countdown, and everyone's hearts are a little nervous. Even His Majesty raised his left wrist from time to time to glance at it, until the ruby spit out by the golden dragon on the dial pointed to the top - at 0:20, His Majesty stood up and walked to the holographic map. At this time, there are still 10 minutes before 23:30 when the "Heavenly Song" officially starts (the time zone difference between South China and China is two hours).

Suddenly, Zhong Yi heard a "plop" behind him, as if someone had fallen, and then heard Hans and Jiang Yunzhi shouting: "Zhiqiu...... Chief, what's wrong with you? ”

His Majesty's brain "buzzed", "It's broken, the most feared thing still happened!" ”

……

Ye Zhiqiu, the first Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Army, Army General. Due to heart disease, at the moment before the official launch of the "Heavenly Song" plan, he suddenly went into shock and fell in the conference room of Wei Qingge of the Imperial Army Headquarters.

At the moment when the doctor announced the bad news, His Majesty silently shed two lines of tears.

At the moment when a teardrop on His Majesty's nose fell gently, Qiqihar, thousands of miles away, Ye Weixun picked up the phone, raised his voice, and only said two words: "Start!" ”

From the Suifen River in the southeast of Heilongjiang Province to Manchuria on the Hulunbuir steppe, on a front of nearly 1,000 kilometers, millions of allied troops divided into three routes and launched fierce attacks on the Soviet and Russian troops.

Thousands of large-caliber field artillery pieces roared at the same time, and the Black Widow rocket launchers, the no-man's-land makers, were even more dazzling in the darkness of the night, spewing their own resentment at a jaw-dropping speed.

The news of the unfortunate death of Admiral Ye Zhiqiu due to overwork soon spread to China, and the soldiers of the Guards armored unit, who were preparing to leave, tied a black veil to the barrel of the tank to mourn their chief of the General Staff. Huo Lu, who had been promoted to the commander of the First Army of the Guards Corps, opened the public communication channel of the whole army on the command chariot, and shouted out in a hoarse voice: Salute to Chief Ye! Land Tigers, forward!

Land Tiger, is the Battle of Zengcheng, the Japanese 18th Division of the First Guards Division annihilated the name of the demon in one battle, after killing the famous Japanese general Yamashita Fufumi, His Majesty awarded the title of the First Guard Division.

Today, Commander Huo Lu shouted this name again, and both the veterans of the first division and the newly recruited Red Police soldiers felt their blood boiling, which was the glory of the Guards and the pride of the Red Police Corps. The 2,000 tanks of the 1st Guards Army roared in unison, as if in response to the commander's order, and as if they were making a declaration to the enemy that the tiger was out of the mountain.

At the same time, three million German ground forces in Lobania, Poland, and Lithuania inflicted a devastating blow on the Soviet Red Army, accompanied by hundreds of thousands of Romanian, Hungarian, Slovak, and Italian troops, while Finland attacked from the north, and the Redbeard "Barbarossa" plan was officially launched.

The news that the Iron Alliance was launching simultaneous attacks on the Soviet Union in the east and west made Stalin fall into a stupor. The consequences of the purge were laid bare, and most of the officers with "political experience" but no combat experience were no better than their stunned leaders in the face of a surprise attack by the Allies. Commanding indiscriminately and fighting separately is the truest portrayal of them. In the face of a large-scale armored group attack by the Han and German armies, there was nothing they could do, but they blindly ordered the soldiers to desperately fight back or shouted "Ula" to jump out of the trench to charge, or rather...... Go and die.

In the Allied internal war reports, the Germans claimed that they had destroyed 1,500 Soviet planes on the first day of the war, while they had lost only 35 of them, and that the results of the three army groups on the ground far exceeded the objectives set on the first day.

The speed of the German attack completely paralyzed the Soviet defense plan, and the serious lack of radio and communication equipment also made it difficult for the Soviet troops to coordinate their operations with each other, not to mention the Soviet army's clumsy Red Army front-line commanders, Field Marshal Rundstedt, commander of the German Army Group South, jokingly said: Did Stalin send a group of actors to the front line as officers? Oh! Where is that Moscow actor?

Compared with the ease and pleasure of the German army, the Allied offensive against the Soviet Far Military District and the Trans-Baikal Military District was much more difficult, and the Right Route Army was composed of 12 divisions of the Dongying Army under the command of Ishihara Waner and the Yuzhou Army with a total of 350,000 men, and their first stage goal was to capture Vladivostok, the headquarters of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, which China called Vladivostok. After several hours of shelling destroyed Soviet positions along the border, the 2nd and 4th Divisions of the Right Route Army, the vanguard of the Right Army, crossed the border at the Suifen River and were stubbornly blocked by the Red Banner Division of the Soviet Far Eastern Military District at Ussuriysk (Shuangchengzi).

After daybreak, the bomber groups of the Royal Air Force began to sortie, and more than a dozen airfields of the Soviet Air Force in the Far East were bombed. Unlike the European theater of operations, the air forces in the Far East, along with the ground forces, raised the alert level after the Hailar conflict. Therefore, many MiG and Yak fighters can take off in time for battle, but the Soviet Union developed jet aircraft late, and it lagged behind most military powers in terms of airborne weapons, mainly relying on machine guns and machine guns. In Europe, their most advanced MiG-11 and Yak-9 were ravaged by German swallows and ghosts, while in the Far East, the Soviet Air Force was even more embarrassed by the more powerful Royal Air Force Wyvern fighters. The excellent performance of infrared active-guided missiles shines in the air battle in the Far East, and the Fire Phoenix is almost completely empty, not to mention the old I-15 and I-16, even the MiG-11's maneuvering ability cannot escape the tracking of the Fire Phoenix.

The shortcomings of the pilots of the Soviet Red Army, whose lack of training and actual combat experience, were infinitely magnified by the blows of the fiery phoenix, and together with the fighters that could not take off at all on the airfield and were destroyed on the ground, the Far Eastern Air Force, with its 4,000 aircraft, almost lost the ability to fight for air supremacy within a week. In the world pilot rankings, the aces of the Royal Air Force quickly rose up the ranks, alongside the Luftwaffe's digital kings of the best of the best.

On the ground, however, the Allied offensive was far less smooth than the Germans, and the battle for the Dongying Army at Shuangchengzi was at a fever pitch, with the two sides fighting over almost every inch of land. Such a battle may be in line with Ishihara's strategy of "not fighting for the city, spending his troops", but the fierceness of the battle was beyond everyone's expectations, Ye Weixun made three phone calls to Ishihara Wan'er in a row, reminding him not to evaluate the combat strength of the Soviet Red Army by the performance of the Russian army in World War I.

The commander of the Middle Route Army is Zuo Shou, and the fat man Zuo who doesn't like words is the fastest among the young officers in the Guards Legion, and before coming to the Chinese battlefield, Zuo Shou and the veteran Xiao Guoxing are both the deputy commanders of the Guards Corps, with the rank of lieutenant general.

His opponent was General Vasilevsky, commander of the Soviet Far East Military District, a high-key and calm Red Army general who was the opposite of Zhukov's enthusiasm and passion, and pursued a low-key and calm Red Army general, who replaced Marshal Blyukhel, the soul of the Soviet Far East Army, who was killed in the Great Purge.
