Chapter 257: The war has started, and I want to return home! Even before he was ready, things had changed dramatically!

This change is even dizzying! Since Zhang Xueliang repeatedly, the Soviet Union reacted extremely quickly to this matter! Preparations for war and peace were immediately prepared, and on December 5, the Vladivostok authorities demanded the release of those arrested at the consulate in Harbin, offering in exchange for a reduction in the powers of the head of the China Eastern Railway. On the 13th, the Soviet Union increased its troops in Hailanpao, and the authorities of Jilin Province also transferred troops to Aihui to strengthen the defense. On the 17th, the Soviet Union increased its troops near Manchuria, and Wan Fulin sent the Third Brigade to increase the defense of Hulunbuir.

From 22 to 25 December, Zhang Xueliang returned to Mukden from Nanjing to convene a meeting with the Soviet Union, at which it was decided to reorganize the army garrison on the Jimeng border and take over the methods of the Middle East Road.

Later, on January 7, 1930, Zhang Xueliang arrived in Nanjing again and secretly met with Jiang Zhongzheng to discuss countermeasures for the Middle East Road.

Later, Zhang Xueliang returned to Mukden and began to prepare for the war, and this meeting with Jiang Zhongzheng seemed to have doubled Zhang Xueliang's courage! When negotiating with the representatives of the Soviet Union, he did not give up a resolute attitude! And urgently transferred part of the Northeast Army in the pass to immediately return to Manchuria and be ready for battle at any time!

On the 13th, the Soviet Union issued a three-day ultimatum to the Nanjing government on the Middle East Road incident. At the same time, official mail sent by Qiqihar, the capital of Heilongjiang Province, to Luobei, Aihui, Wuyun, Qike, Xunhe and other counties by steamer from January 1 to 13 was all detained by Soviet troops. On the 15th, trucks on the Middle East Road were stopped, the Ussuri Iron Bridge was destroyed by the Soviet side, and the troops of Jilin and Heilongjiang drove to Wuzhan and Manchuria!

At this time, the whole Middle East road is full of war clouds! The battle is on the verge of breaking out! On the 17th, the Soviet government announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the Chinese government, the cessation of railway communication with China, the reservation of all rights stipulated in the 1924 Sino-Russian and Feng-Russian agreements, and warned the authorities in Northeast China and the government in Nanjing that if the Middle East Road was not restored to its original state, China would be in great danger and war would be inevitable!

After the Soviet Union severed diplomatic relations with China, Wang Jiazhen received a telegram from the office in Tokyo saying that the Soviet Union had severed diplomatic relations with China, and he knew that the matter was serious.

At this time, the battle has not yet officially begun, but the goals of both sides are already extremely obvious! At this time, Germany suddenly intervened to try to mediate the war, and Zhang Xueliang also accepted mediation because the northeast was not fully prepared.

And the Soviets seem to have something in mind, so they intend to accept mediation at the same time. Therefore, the tension suddenly eased again.

However, at this time, there was another major incident in China! After receiving the "December Letter" from the Soviet Union, the Red Central Committee issued a declaration of "Opposing the Kuomintang Imperialist Attack on the Soviet Union"; Subsequently, on the 24th, Circular No. 42 of "Mobilizing the Broad Masses to Oppose the Attack on the Soviet Union" was issued, making new arrangements for the work of the whole party!

It was planned to mobilize the masses with flying rallies, demonstrations, strikes and marches in the cities, mass movements in the central cities, and the army in the red zones to change the guerrilla methods as much as possible and combine them with the mass movement of the workers and peasants to seize the most important cities and establish the Red regime!

When this news was detected by Jiang Zhongzheng, it was immediately reported to the whole country, and the prestige of the red color in the country plummeted for a while! Countless people regarded this move as a betrayal of the country, and some of the people who originally supported the red color and the left wing of the Kuomintang spoke out to denounce it!

Tu Qianjun, who was in the United States, immediately called Zhang Xueliang after learning the news and went up to the tree:

Sixth brother, see words like people. Hearing that the Soviet Union and Russia were in conflict with me, and Nanjing was pressing the matter of breaking off diplomatic relations, my brother was extremely anxious! Although I am thousands of miles away, I can't concentrate on my studies! Tossing and turning, I finally called Brother Yu to ask for a fight!

The matter of the Middle East Road is complicated and the situation is critical! Although my brother doesn't dare to win lightly, he can ensure that my Northeast is safe! The morale of Soviet Russia was very high at this time, and my brother also heard that he had gone to various countries to buy tanks, guns and other materials for research. To develop independent armaments.

With this strength, how can it be called weak?

After the old man took the telegram and read it, he also fell into silence like Tu Qianjun. After a long time, Situ Meitang said softly to Tu Qianjun: "Is there no room for recovery?!" ”

Tu Qianjun shook his head silently, and after a while, he said in a deep voice to Situ Meitang: "Uncle, you can help me pay attention to the reports from China during this time. As soon as the war was gone, I would immediately return home. Now I'm afraid it won't be much for me to go back, and if the sixth brother knows that I go back without permission, I'm afraid he won't let me go to the battlefield......"

Situ Meitang couldn't help but fall silent when he heard Tu Qianjun's words, and only sighed deeply after a while. After a long time, the old man naturally knew that when the commander-in-chief was officially in high spirits, if Tu Qianjun disobeyed him, he would go back directly, I am afraid that not only would he not be able to go to the battlefield, but he might even have no good fruit to eat!

So, the old man had to sigh deeply. I don't know how many good men will die on the battlefield this time......

March 6, 1930, stunned.

The Soviet government announced to the ambassadors of various countries that the Soviet side has always advocated a peaceful settlement of the issue of the China Eastern Railway, while China has a hypocritical and insincere attitude. Believing that there was no hope for future negotiations, all previous negotiations were categorically suspended through German mediation. After that, the Soviet Union did not assume any responsibility for all ominous incidents caused by the Sino-Russian border, and decided to launch a deadly attack on the Northeast Army in order to prompt the Northeast authorities to return to the negotiating table!

On the same day, the Office of the Commander of the Northeast Frontier Army drafted the Regulations on the Organization of the National Volunteer Army. It is said that "Chiqiang Koubian, the first is to resist, and all citizens or groups who have volunteers who sacrifice their lives for the country will join the volunteers and volunteers." The regulations stipulate that those who are nominally individuals are designated as ** volunteers, and those who belong to groups are designated as national volunteers!

March 21, the vernal equinox.

More than 1,000 Soviet infantry troops attacked the positions of the 38th Regiment and the 3rd Battalion in Manchuria, and the fighting between the two sides was fierce. Subsequently, they continued to attack the positions of Manzhouli Station under the cover of aircraft and artillery, and the two sides fought until the morning of the 3rd.

Subsequently, the 30,000 Soviet troops on the Baikal side marched to the northeastern border of China, and at this time, the Liang Zhongjia Brigade, which was responsible for the defense, had been confronting the Soviet army for dozens of days.

At the beginning of April, the famous Battle of Fujin at the mouth of the Sanjiangkou of the Chinese and Soviet navies broke out, also known as the Battle of Tongjiang. At 5 o'clock in the morning, the Soviet army dispatched 25 planes, 10 warships, and more than 40 machine gun vehicles, and later sent more than 800 cavalry and more than 3,000 infantry to attack the Tongjiang squadron. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Tongjiang County was lost! After this battle, the Chinese Navy's Jiang Defense Army was completely annihilated!

On the Manchurian side, the Northeast Army has been shelled by Soviet troops since the end of February. After the outbreak of the war, the Soviet army, with the cooperation of tanks and warplanes, launched several general offensives, and successively captured the border areas of Manchuria and Dalainuoer in March, and captured Hailar on the 24th of the same month.

On the night of March 17, the Soviets launched a large-scale ground offensive. The 7,000 men of the 17th Brigade of the ** squadron garrisoning Dalainuoer were completely annihilated after a day and night of fierce fighting, and the brigade commander Han Guangdi was killed in battle. The 15th Brigade of the Northeast Army, which was garrisoning Manchuria, was also surrounded by Soviet troops and surrendered to the Soviets after the brigade commander Liang Zhongjia and other officers fled to the Japanese consulate.

At this time, the war led to the Northeast Army, which had already shown a trend of decline. There are also many peacemakers inside, but the military expenses promised by Jiang Zhongzheng Nanjing have not yet arrived! Every time I ask about Nanjing, I always find an excuse to delay!

Tu Qianjun, who was in the Colt family's manor in New York, gently put down the newspaper and whispered to Lin Bao and Shang Dinan beside him: "Tell the brothers, let's go home......

Lin Bao and Shang Dinan heard Tu Qianjun's words, and a trace of distress flashed in their eyes, and then they nodded slowly. Then Lin Leopard went out of the living room to make arrangements, and Phil, who was having breakfast with them at this time, looked at Tu Qianjun and said slowly: "Junzi, have you decided?!" You know, you may not be able to do anything when you go back at this time, and your studies at West Point will be wasted! You've only been studying for less than a year, and it's impossible for West Point to issue you a diploma! ”

Tu Qianjun lowered his head, as if talking to himself and as if explaining to Phil, and said softly: "The country is almost gone, what books are you going to read......

Phil heard Tu Qianjun's words, so he had to sigh deeply......
