It turned out that a reconnaissance plane of the Soviet army actually made a provocative move against the defenders of the second company when it approached the second company for reconnaissance, and the result was very sad, and it was directly beaten down by the antiaircraft artillery unit of the eighth theater.

What happened on the front line really exceeded the expectations of China and the Soviet Union, and at the same time exceeded Chen Feng's expectations, when the high-level leaders of the two sides had not yet moved, the lower sides took the lead in making a fuss and even opened fire.

When the news came, Chen Feng was extremely angry, seeing that the Soviet Union was showing signs of giving in, and now it was better, but as soon as the shooting was fired, the matter had a tendency to deteriorate. Although he was not afraid to start a war with the Soviet Union, the problem was that the war against the Soviet Union was a last resort after all. After all, the Soviet Union was the Soviet Union, which was fundamentally different from Japan, and Chen Feng still did not want to be an enemy of the Soviet Union if it was not necessary.

After dropping two cups, Chen Feng made a phone call to the former enemy headquarters of the Second Company.

"Hey!"

"Well, I'm Chen Feng, let Yang Yi answer the phone!"

"Yes, Commander!"

"Commander, I'm Yang Yi!" After a while, Yang Yi's voice came from the other side of the phone.

Chen Feng held back his anger and asked, "What the hell is going on, didn't you say don't shoot unless you have to?" As soon as the gun is fired, the relationship between the two sides will be difficult to grasp, and even the war will start because of this! ”

"Commander, it's my fault that I didn't control my emotions!" Yang Yi said in a deep voice.

Knowing that it was Yang Yi who ordered the fire, Chen Feng calmed down. Chen Feng knew Yang Yi and knew that he was not a person who did not know the seriousness, and there must be a reason for him to order the fire, so he asked: "What did the Soviet army do that made you unbearable?" ”

"Commander, that bastard is so arrogant, not to mention dropping leaflets on our army when he approaches to reconnoitre!"

"Flyer, what flyer, what's on it!" Chen Feng asked in a deep voice.

"They are all insults to our Chinese soldiers and the Chinese government, there are words and cartoons, and the soldiers on the front line are extremely angry at the extremely vicious ridicule and sarcasm of the Soviet army."

"Hmm. You're doing a great job. We must resolutely fight back at this unreasonable provocation by the Soviet army, or in the same sentence, friends come with good wine, and jackals come with shotguns. Perhaps the overwhelming majority of the population in China was afraid of the Soviet Union. And that includes even our government. But I, Chen, and every officer and soldier in our Eighth War Zone are not afraid of those old hairies. If only these bitches dared to stretch out their paws. Just chop it for me! Chen Feng said.

"Yes!"

After learning the truth of the matter, Chen Feng's whole person became calmer, and he knew that his relationship with the Soviet Union would inevitably fall to the freezing point. Even the negotiations between the two sides can be aborted as a result. Moreover, judging from the current situation, a local military conflict between the two sides is the most likely.

Chen Feng is most worried about the safety of Yeherina now, after receiving Chen Feng's order, Yeherina and others have begun to set off to return to China, at their speed now at most into Mongolia, at least a thousand kilometers away from the defense area of the Eighth War Zone, and the 35th Army and the 59th Tank Division of the Soviet Army are on the way back to China.

If it was determined that Yehelina and the others were not in danger now, Chen Feng would have pressed all the remaining 8 reorganized divisions on the ground, and he wanted to see if Stalin dared to start a war with him at this time.

In fact, Chen Feng did not have any psychological burden on this conflict, and with this conflict, it just created a wonderful excuse for sending troops to the Soviet Union in the future.

On May 28, Yeherina and others sent back news that they had been blocked by the Soviet army, and that the army had now changed the direction of its march and planned to make a detour to Munsi, intending to enter Suixi directly from there.

Chen Feng thought about it for a while, and felt that although Suixi was safe, it was not his Chen style to come back like this. In view of the fact that the main force of the Soviet army is now all placed in Mengnan, the defense of Mengdong must be empty, so Chen Feng decided to let Yeherina and others go east, and then enter the northeast directly from Mengdong.

In doing so, Chen Feng has a deeper consideration. According to the development of the international situation, the strategy of the Japanese army to move south has basically been determined, and the day is not far off when it will start a war against the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, and other countries. When the Japanese army went to war with the United States and Britain, it was inevitable that troops would be drawn from North China and Northeast China, and it would be a good time to recover Northeast China.

But now the Eighth Theater has almost no troops in the northeast, which is extremely inconvenient for the next operation, so Chen Feng needs to put a nail in the center of gravity of the Japanese army. And this nail is none other than Yehelina, because the nail that Chen Feng needs is not a sharp one, what he needs is a nail with two sharp ends, one to Japan and the other to poke the Soviet Union.

After receiving Chen Feng's order, Yehelina and the others immediately divided into two routes, one was composed of Li Siguang and other non-combatants, carrying heavy equipment withdrawn from the Soviet Union and continuing to march towards Mengxi, and Chen Feng planned to send a helicopter to meet them. On the other hand, Yeherina led the whole infantry regiment, and the army carried a week's worth of food and half a month's worth of war needs, all mounted on war horses, and marched all the way east.

At the same time, the Soviet Union was extremely dissatisfied with the "accident" that occurred on the front line of the Second Company, and the Soviet Government immediately lodged a serious protest with Chen Feng's department, demanding that Chen Feng's department immediately release the arrested pilots, severely punish the front-line commander who ordered the shooting, and apologize to the Soviet Union for the losses.

After Chen Feng informed Stalin of the cause and effect, he then expounded his point of view. The party responsible for this matter is entirely on the side of the Soviet Union, and has nothing to do with the Eighth Theater of Operations. If the army makes a provocation, then the army at the front will not shoot, let alone brew this accident.

So there was no problem with releasing the Soviet pilots, but as for apologizing, severely punishing those responsible, and compensating for losses, he would not agree. The implication is that Lao Tzu just beats, you deserve it, you brought it on yourself.

Stalin ordered the Soviet diplomatic department to send a sternly worded diplomatic statement, threatening Chen Feng's subordinates that if this matter was not handled according to the Soviet Union's requirements, then the two sides would have no choice but to go to war.

At the same time, the 35th Mechanical Corps and the 59th Tank Division of the Soviet Army, which were stationed on the Sino-Mongolian border, seemed to have received some order, and they actually moved 15 kilometers south, directly approaching the Sino-Mongolian border, less than 5 kilometers away from Chen Feng's headquarters in a straight line, and even without binoculars, the two sides could see each other's military flags.

On 29 May, Chen Feng sent a diplomatic note to the Soviet government, informing the Soviet Union that if the Soviet troops did not withdraw by 1 June, the Eighth Theater would automatically be deemed to have declared war on the Soviet Union on its own initiative to the Eighth Theater, and that the Eighth Theater would take necessary measures to avoid being threatened by Soviet troops. Clearly tell the Soviet government that if the troops are not withdrawn, then the two sides will go straight to fighting.

In order to ensure the supply of troops and materials on the front line, the trains between the second company and Guisui continued to transport soldiers and materials to the second company day and night. The strength of the army has exceeded 200,000, and the Eighth Theater has not only dispatched four integrated divisions and three aviation brigades, but also sent an armored division to participate in the battle.

No one thought that the Eighth Theater would take the initiative to attack the Soviet Union, and everyone, including Stalin, thought that Chen Feng was just a verbal warning, because it would be unwise to declare war on the Soviet Union before the end of the Sino-Japanese War, and besides, from the superficial strength, Chen Feng's troops did not have the possibility of challenging the Soviet Union.

But is that really the case?

At 10 o'clock in the evening of 31 May, the entire front headquarters of the second company was brightly lit, and all the senior officers were fully armed at the headquarters waiting for news, while the troops of the four integrated divisions outside were also fully armed and ready to attack at any time.

Suddenly, a high-pitched voice came from outside the former enemy headquarters: "Stand up, commander!" ”

The officers in the combat command headquarters were startled, hurriedly put down the work at hand, and then stood up and waited for the arrival of the commander.

Chen Feng strode into the combat command room, then came to the round conference table, and said loudly: "What should I do, officers above the division level are here for a meeting." ”

"Yes!"
