Chapter 819: Sit down and negotiate

PS: Thank you for the generous rewards ^_^ from the book friends "nqm" and "Wangyun Mountain people" again

After recovering Outer Mongolia and counting the crimes of some people in separatism, the Chinese army, which had gained a solid counterattack because of the Soviet fire, did not stop, and on the Western Front, Sun Liren's 15th Army went west out of the Tianshan Mountains and rushed to the shores of Lake Balkhash at unimaginable speed; On the central front, Fu Zuoyi ordered Ma Zhongying's 51st Army to take advantage of the speed advantage of the fully mechanized troops to quickly cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway, the lifeline of the Soviet Far East, to the north, while he himself led the main force of the North China Field Army to easily take the Tangnu-Ulianghai region (that is, the so-called "Tangnutuva Republic" of the Soviet Union), which had in fact been annexed by the Soviet Union for a long time but had not yet been internationally recognized; Lin Zongze, who was in charge of the Eastern Front, divided his troops into two routes, one to attack Vladivostok with the cooperation of the Navy and Air Force to force the Soviet Pacific Fleet to surrender, and the other to cross the Heilongjiang River and attack northward

Although the situation was completely one-sided in the first month, Stalin still pinned his hopes on the more than one million elite Soviet field troops he transferred back from the Western Front, and the voluntary retreat of the Chinese troops on the Western Front to avoid the enemy's advance increased his confidence. However, what the Soviet Union did not expect at all was that in just a dozen days, Sun Liren, who had successfully lured the enemy into depth, took advantage of the 15th Army's all-motorized mobility advantage to divide and surround hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops who had entered the "disputed area" and wiped them out, during which more than 170,000 Soviet troops were killed or missing. Another 240,000 were captured, while the total number of Chinese casualties was less than 50,000.

In addition to Sun Liren's outstanding command and the superior combat effectiveness of the officers and men of the 15 th Group, the reason why it was able to achieve such a disparity in exchange was also a very crucial reason for the Chinese side's firm grasp of air supremacy. Although the Soviet Air Force has seven or eight times as many combat aircraft as the Chinese Air Force, the Soviet Air Force, which is still only equipped with piston fighters, is not at all afraid of the Chinese Air Force, which has already replaced most of its fighters with jet fighters.

And this war has also become the best opportunity for Chinese pilots to frantically brush up their achievements, among which Zhong Ming, who had already set a world record for the number of downs, even killed all sides, shooting down more than 300 planes in less than 100 days, and also increased his own number of crashes to the point that no other ace in the world in air combat can reach the dust. However, this also led many fans of other aces in later generations to accuse him of being a "big brush", because he not only piloted the J-3 supersonic jet fighter that completely surpassed the enemy in terms of performance, but also the effective range of the aircraft gun was much stronger than that of the opponent. Therefore, destroying the enemy is simply a matter of "diving-pulling-out-and-again". The enemy won't even have a chance to hit back at his landline, and it's also hard to escape, which is a bully without any technical content! Of course, even those sunspots have to admit it. Abuse vegetables can be so efficient. It's true that not everyone can do it

After the elimination of hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops in the first wave. The 15th Army was only slightly repaired, and soon returned to the west, and took the initiative to enter the territory of the Soviet Union. Soon, hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops were defeated, proving that their combat effectiveness was incomparably strong, and even without any sophisticated tactics, they could easily defeat twice the main force of the Soviet Union.

But then again, although both sides are also battle-hardened troops, the Soviet army is the old, weak, sick and disabled who have died in the past few years, while the 15th Army is an elite and strong general selected from the millions of veterans who have survived, and the Chinese side has air supremacy

These two successive defeats made the anti-Chinese sentiment in the Soviet Union even higher, but Stalin quickly calmed down, although he also knew that the troops mobilized behind China could not still have such a strong combat effectiveness, but according to this exchange ratio, with the Soviet Union's almost completely bottomed out manpower, even China's two or three million field troops could not fight, if it really fought with China, I am afraid that China has not been injured, and the men of the Soviet Union, even including the women who have the ability to work, will have to die. As for guerrilla warfare, except in some special circumstances, exchange ratios have always been more ugly than regular warfare, and the population of the Soviet Union is at an absolute disadvantage compared to China, and now it is impossible to win even regular warfare, let alone guerrilla warfare. If the Chinese government's will to war is not strong, it may still be able to play a little role, but if the Chinese government dares to turn its face with the Soviet Union, it will never give up halfway because of a small loss, not to mention that Taizu is the great master of guerrilla warfare, and many generals and commanders in the Chinese Red Party are also masters of guerrilla warfare, and the Soviet guerrillas' unpopular level is really difficult to pose much of a threat, and although casualties are inevitable, they are far from being able to force the Chinese government to withdraw its troops

Soon after the second major victory, the 15th Army took the initiative to retreat to the east of the border line demanded by the Chinese side, and several other Chinese armies never "crossed the border", showing that China's military operation was completely aimed at regaining the occupied homeland and was not ready to occupy more land, which made Stalin somewhat relieved. If the Chinese are insatiable and continue to gain inches because of their victories on the battlefield, then with the tenacity and tenacity of the Russians since ancient times, even if they fight to the end, they will never give in.

Now that the Chinese clearly made their claims, and those lands were far less important to the Soviet Union than the European part, and even the Novosibirsk industrial region was not included, there was a possibility of a compromise in the negotiations. Thus, after the two wars, the two sides soon began secret negotiations in Almaty, which is currently occupied by China.

Lenin's initial promise gave Stalin a reason to explain to the country, but in any case it was difficult for him to accept the relinquishment of so much land, even though Stalin himself knew in his heart that it was not coming from the right place and that the Soviet Union would not have the strength to fully exploit it for a long time.

However, Hu Weidong, the head of the Chinese delegation, was also known to be tough, and he unceremoniously pointed out that the large area east of Lake Baikal that the Qing Dynasty ceded in the Treaty of Nebuchu was also occupied by Tsarist Russia by force, because if it had not been for Tsarist Russia's expansion there and its fight with the Qing army, that land would have been Chinese territory, so why would such a treaty be signed?
