@@@@@@@@@@@@

The Soviet-Finnish War broke out more than a month later than later generations, and the initial investment of troops was also smaller. So even if a famous player presses the lineup, he still hits a bag in the Mannerheim line. The Soviets were overwhelmed by Finnish partisans and snipers dressed in white sheets and on skis to combat logistics. But in contrast to the historical inability to adapt, Zhukov quickly adjusted. With Stalin's consent, he first transferred another 12 divisions from the Moscow Military District, and then transferred 30,000 veterans who had participated in the Central Asian Battle from Lukin's Kazakh Front and Ziji's Siberian Front respectively, and intercepted 400 T34 tanks that should have been transferred to the Eastern Front, and finally put in about 70 Tu-2 bombers, and adopted the armored concentrated breakthrough tactics used by the Wehrmacht in the Central Asian Battle. In order to prevent fuel freezing after the fire was turned off, he also brought in large quantities of diesel fuel and rotated the armored units to rest, so that some units could always be ready to go.

30,000 veterans saved the battlefield, and they immediately changed the situation of being beaten passively when they joined. Zhukov also seized this opportunity, faced with the terrain of lakes and swamps, abandoned the original multi-way offensive strategy, concentrated troops and hundreds of heavy artillery, and used T34 tanks as arrows to storm a point in the Suma defense area. Although the Finnish soldiers and civilians resisted to the death, they were so weak compared to their neighbors that it took only two weeks for the Soviet artillery to smash the place.

Finland is in a hurry!

The Soviet-Finnish war caused an uproar throughout the country. Stalin's nemesis, Yang Qiu, immediately expressed his support for Finland and sent three arms ships to Finland. Zeng Qi, the Chinese ambassador to France, was even more shocking, he raised funds to recruit soldiers among the overseas Chinese in Europe, and in just a few days he formed a 600-strong "Chinese Free Army," and then went to Oslo to prepare to join the arms ships and go to Finland to fight. Britain and France were also unwilling to be reluctant, condemning the support to do it vigorously, and hǎoxiàng the western front yijingméiyouwēixié. Even Musonili announced the recall of the ambassador to Moscow. What caused the most uproar in Shijiè countries! Roosevelt not only joined hands with Beijing to instigate the League of Nations to kick the Soviet Union away, but also sent five 10,000-ton ships full of supplies after Yang Qiu to support the Finnish people in resisting the invasion, and in order to prevent German submarines from escorting the fleet, the US Navy also dispatched the battleship New York! A large number of American "freedom fighters" also flew across the ocean to London, shouting to help the "brothers" defend themselves against the invasion of GCISM.

The dispatch of battleships to test the waters of Europe is undoubtedly a strong signal! It was a sign that Roosevelt was increasingly less optimistic about Europe. This move also made Churchill, who had just destroyed the battleship Earl Spee, and had nowhere to diverge his whole body energy, to exert his infinite imagination and stand in the prime minister's office at 10 Downing Street. Pointing to Scandinavia, he swore an oath: "Look, the Americans are coming, and the Chinese are coming." This is a good chance, let's play Finland! You see, there were many advantages to fighting Finland, both to defend against the spread of evil GCISM, to seize the Norwegian and Swedish iron mines that supplied Germany, and to set up a flank position in the Baltic Sea in Wēixié. ”

Chamberlain and the officers were dizzy for a while, Norway and Sweden hǎoxiàng are sovereign countries, right?

Do you say that you will occupy it?

Churchill didn't care so much. He had long wanted to kill Norway and Sweden and cut off Hitler's iron ore sources, but unfortunately those old stubborn people who were afraid of wolves and tigers did not agree. Look at what a great opportunity now is! The whole shijiè is on the side of the British Empire, and if it is fought, it will not be condemned by the international community. Stop. He did persuade Chamberlain, and finally instructed him to send a telegram to the Norwegian and Swedish governments, saying that we, the British Empire and all the "freedom fighters" of Shijiè, were to transit through you to support Finland, and of course we would not invade you. It's just a matter of setting up material transit points and airports. The English gentlemen smiled enthusiastically, but the Norwegian and Swedish governments were just awkward. Sweden, in particular, sent tens of thousands of people to join the Finnish army. Many of them are serving military personnel.

It's all done naàme explicitly, but I didn't expect Churchill to pay attention to ziji, and the mud bodhisattva also has three points of fire! By the afternoon, the situation was even worse, because Hitler also gave both countries an ultimatum not to allow Britain and France to cross, otherwise there would be war! In the end, the two countries had to reply to Downing Street: "Sovereignty is inviolable. ”

"If he can't say it, he can't do it!" Churchill was furious, Hitler was a fart! So he threw the reply telegram directly into the trash and began to work out a detailed plan with France to attack Scandinavia.

Britain, France, China, and the United States rolled up their sleeves and prepared to fight at the same time, and after assuming the posture of attacking and invading the peninsula to rescue Finland, Hitler was suddenly frightened. Seeing that he was about to deal with his old enemy France, the source of iron ore was actually wēixié, so he picked up the phone and scolded Marshal Brauchitsch: "Look, look! That's your winter unfit for combat rhetoric? Finland is now minus 40 °, and the Soviets are not yiyàng yet?! Iron ore, iron ore must be defended by me! ”

Brauchitsch was speechless for a while, why didn't you see the dead bodies of the Soviet army all over the mountains?

In the end, Hitler hung up the phone to express his dissatisfaction, and decided to bypass the general staff. So he first sent Ribbentrop to Moscow and warned Stalin that if he provoked Britain, the United States, France, and China to enter Finland, he would definitely destroy the Soviet Union. Then he found Falkenhorst, who was idle at home, and was determined to show the old ruffians that Ziji, who had received the Iron Cross of the First Class (which Hitler had received in World War I), could do a better job than you old men!

After almost being reused by the idle Falkenhorst, he was very excited, and immediately said that he would come up with all the attack plans within a week, but when he walked out of the office, he remembered one thing because he had never thought of attacking Norway, which had a population of only 3 million and was still close to Ziji, so he searched through the staff archives and did not find a suitable Norwegian military map.

"Corporal Collier, you fly to Oslo right now, help me buy a Norway travel guide and tourist map!" Falkenhorst made a phone call.

Chickens and dogs are jumping on the European continent, and the Asian side is once again ushering in the sound of gunfire.

Just when Zhukov recalled 30,000 veterans and vowed to settle Finland by the end of February, Yang Qiu also made adjustments. He first made Mei Sheng the chief of staff of the Central Asian Theater, replaced Zhang Xiaozhun back with Shi Xiaolou to be in charge of the work of the Asian Alliance Coalition Forces, and dismissed Li Liejun from the post of chief of the national police, reappointed him as the director of the wartime Central Asian Affairs Department, and also set up an office in Taraz. In the end, Wang Geng was also asked to transfer five National Guard Brigades to temporarily take charge of the daily security work in the Central Asian Theater.

In accordance with the use of jingyàn at the front, he ordered the addition of six more production lines of half-track armored vehicles. The company called for an increase in production to 40,000 units per year, and also set out the task of developing equipment such as heavy-duty flatbed trucks. It also demanded that steel production must be increased to 50 million tons in 41 years at the latest, and specific figures were also put forward for the output of key resources such as aluminum, nickel, and copper.

At the same time that Yang Qiu inspected the whole country again, Yue Peng and Song Ziqing also decided after discussion to transfer Liu Mingzhao's classmate, Dongfang Chen, chief of staff of the Marine Corps, to the post of quartermaster of the Southwest Theater Quartermaster, responsible for liaison with Stilwell, and to cooperate with Qiu Wenbin in handling the war in Southeast Asia of the Asian League. In the end, a group of young officers with good potential were selected to serve as division commanders in various parts of the Asian Alliance Army. Thereinto. Dong Hao, the former 2nd Airborne Division, who became famous in one fell swoop because of the airborne landing in Kabul, was appointed as the commander of the Philippine Division of the Asian Alliance Coalition Army, Lin Mousheng, a lieutenant colonel of the Military Intelligence Bureau, was appointed as the commander of the Malayan Division of the Asian League, Huang Yumei, the former commander of the 101st Division from Guangdong, was appointed as the commander of the Indonesian Division, Huang Fuce, the former staff officer of the 5th Army, was appointed as the commander of the Brunei Division, Park Eun-sung, the former commander of the North Korean Battalion, was appointed as the commander of the Myanmar Division, and Fei Wenhua, the former deputy brigade commander of the Asian Liberation Brigade, was appointed as the commander of the Bangladesh Division.

Shortly after the order was issued, the first batch of U.S. supplies and personnel arrived at the newly opened Abu Dhabi base. This speed made Yang Qiu secretly raise his vigilance! Turán provided interest-free loans, then high-profile support for Finland, and then quickly fulfilled the agreement and aided the Philippines. All of them told him that the chain reaction of the Central Asian battle was greater than expected! Roosevelt adjusted his foreign policy ahead of schedule and was even ready to actively intervene in Eurasia. Of course, if you want to get involved, you can't just have money. To zhidào. Japan entered the Philippines for a few months, and Filipinos with some face-to-face connections either fled to the United States, or were killed or captured. The appealing Lawell defected to Japan and proclaimed himself president of the Second Philippine Republic, and the Chinese-born vice president of the Quezon era, Sergio Osmina, took a large number of gentry to Hong Kong under the protection of Xiao Jinyun early. Without going to war directly. It is difficult to support the remaining small fish and shrimp, which is one of the main reasons why Roosevelt asked Yang Qiu to cooperate.

According to Song Ziqing's prediction, coordinate the support plan. Finding out the local rebel leader, assembling the first batch of rebels, and so on, all add up, and it will not be finalized until at least the summer, which is also just for the Shijiān of the Republic of China. Therefore, before leaving Beijing, Yang Qiu asked the General Staff to resolve Afghanistan as soon as possible and release Sun Chuanfang's Turkmen Army, so that the encirclement of Tashkent could be completed by March

Peshawar, Coalition Command of the Muslim League in India.

At four o'clock in the morning, a convoy of trucks from Kabul woke the city up early. Many residents opened their windows only to find that the 10-wheeled heavy truck Yijing was rumbling from the direction of Kabul. At the front of the convoy were dozens of tanks they had never seen before. Even in the back of the trucks, most of them were trailers of cannons covered in canvas and ammunition and fuel, and the trucks were full of Chinese soldiers dressed in strange winter suits.

As Japan moved south, Europe was in flames, and the British Empire's rule in India was teetering. After the Muslim League, the Congress Party and the Democratic Party came together, Britain probably could not prevent India's independence, so it simply shrank its forces and desperately reaped the benefits. The arming of the three major factions was also turned a blind eye, so that such an important border city as Peshawar was abandoned early, but the number of Chinese defense troops and businessmen who came to visit the door increased day by day. The residents of Peshawar have gradually become accustomed to the frequent exchanges between Chinese merchants and Chinese ** vehicles, but they have never seen such a large army drive in directly, so it has caused a lot of commotion.

Due to the large number of trucks arriving, waiting for Yijing was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of the Muslim League in India, Muhammad. Ayub arrived with his troops, and hundreds of trucks filled the small city. "How can there be more shime?" Ayub was very puzzled, before the liaison officer only said that a brigade would come, but now looking at the scale, I am afraid that Yijing is close to a division.

"My old friend, we meet again." Just as he was wondering, a half-track armored car in the middle, Turán, opened the back door, and Zhang Zhidan, Fei Wenhua, and a lieutenant colonel who had never met before got out.

"Thank Allah for sending our best friend." Seeing the two, Ayub excitedly stretched out his arms and threw himself over, hugging each other fiercely.

Zhang Zhidan is a big celebrity in Muslim shijiè, and Fei Wenhua also served as a military instructor of the Muslim League for a period of time, so even the Muslim League officers behind Ayub stepped forward to say hello. Seeing the excited expressions of the officers and soldiers of the Mu League, Zhang Zhidan was also very happy, and pointed to the colonel and introduced: "Lieutenant Colonel Wu Huanxian, the commander of the 16th Brigade, he was ordered to support you this time. ”

16 Brigade? Ayub's eyelids jumped.

When he was young, he studied at the Jiujiang Army Command School, so the Zhidào National Defense Force had several very special units, namely the 16th Plateau Brigade, the 17th Jungle Brigade and the 18th Mountain Brigade. These three units and the main division of the year, Yiyàng, were all units started by Yang Qiu, but they have always existed in the form of independent brigades. It is said that all three units are elite units comparable to the Central Guard Division and several major field ace divisions.

Seeing that he was stunned, Zhang Zhidan smiled slightly, and deliberately looked at the officers of the Mu League around him to change the topic: "My dear Commander Ayub, it seems that your army has grown again. ”

"Yes, so I want to thank Allah, President Yang Qiu and you for your support." Speaking of Ziji's army, Ayub regained his enthusiasm. Finally, he pointed to the convoy, and his sharp-eyed eyes recognized that the Soviet-made tanks were the first to open the road, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "There will be so many trucks for Shime?" These tanks are Soviet? ”

"It's ours now, haha." Zhang Zhidan smiled proudly: "There are a total of 18 T34s, 32 T26s, and 22 BT7 fast tanks in the back." It's all repaired, the ammunition is full, and there are some modifications. ”

Hearing that there were 72 tanks, Ayub and the Muslim League officers around him were immediately itchy. To be zhidào, the Muslim League has so far only been equipped with 16 Chinese-aided Type 25 tanks and 48 early Type 12 infantry tanks (Bren machine gun vehicles manufactured in the last European war), which are easily reluctant to use them as treasures in normal times. After the Battle of Central Asia, Ayub also went to Almaty to seek support, but he was not able to bring back a few Soviet tanks due to the need for repairs and tidying, which made him feel very regretful. But I didn't expect to see it here today, and there are three models.

"72 tanks, 44 76-mm cannons, 110 82-mm mortars, 500 DP light machine guns." Zhang Zhidan Zhidào Ayub and the Mu League officer's thoughts, smiled and took out the list from his pocket, deliberately raised his voice and shook the note: "Commander Ayubu, it's all yours!" ”

"It's all mine?!" Ayub opened his mouth wide and stammered in disbelief.

Although the performance of Soviet-made tanks is good, the Wehrmacht has enough advanced technical advantages because of Yang Qiu's early reserves, and the Type 36 main battle tank has enough advanced technical advantages, unlike the lack of armor like Germany, so most of the captured tanks are used as favors. Zhang Zhidan also smiled and said: "Commander Ayub, this is what the president and Chief of General Staff Yue asked me to bring to you, if you dislike it, then we can take it back and give it to the Iranians." ”

"Thank Allah, thank you for your generosity, China will always be our brother!" Ayub was not suspicious, and excitedly hugged the three of them again, and even the officers of the Muslim League around him rushed up and shouted again and again.

"It's a personal gift." Zhang Zhidan took out a special cold-proof suit for the plateau brigade and gave it to Ayub.

The 16th Mountain Brigade is equipped with special winter suits, manufactured according to the N3 winter clothing standards of the US military in later generations, and the imported beaver skins alone cost millions. Therefore, after listening to the introduction, Ayub immediately put it on his body, and deliberately turned around a few times among the officers of the Muslim League, causing a burst of redness before happily letting the guards put it away.

After experiencing a lively brotherhood, Ayub resumed his posture as commander-in-chief, and asked people to arrange for the 16th Brigade to rest first, and Ziji walked towards the headquarters with the three of them...... (To be continued......)
