Ussuriysk, during World War II, was called Voroshilov, and before the signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing became Russian territory, it was also called Shuangchengzi.

Shuangchengzi, its name originates from the Shuangchengwei of the Ming Dynasty. It is named after the coexistence of two cities, east and west, the east city is called "Fuldan", and the west city is called "Zhuergen", which is about four miles apart.

Shuangchengzi is an early developed city in Northeast China, and in the middle of the 9th century, the land of Shuangchengzi was an important town of the Bohai Kingdom, where the Yu Lou Dynasty lived.

Located in the middle of the Ussuri River, Voroshilov was a hub connecting the strategic points of Boli and Vladivostok, and after Russia broke free from Mongol rule, it expanded into Siberia by the middle of the 17th century, when the territory of the Qing Empire included the area around the Trans-Khingan Mountains and went east to Sakhalin.

At the outbreak of World War II, the Soviet Union regarded the Far East as one of the centers of development, and vigorously built and strengthened the fortress of Vladivostok.

Not only was the entire Far Eastern Railway connected, but in the Far East, in order to guard against Japan and strengthen its military presence and influence in the Far East, the Soviet Union's military facilities and combat capability in the Far East were much stronger than those in the Tsarist period.

Although the Soviet Union withdrew a million troops from the Far East, it left behind a large amount of weapons and equipment, and with the support of a large local Soviet population, it was able to quickly arm a large number of troops.

On Stalin's orders, Russian Field Marshal Vasilevsky personally arrived in the Far East to preside over military affairs.

Vasilevsky, who had just arrived in the Far East, also began to expand his troops, recruiting a large number of soldiers, including many female soldiers, in local cities and farms.

These Russian women have not only become soldiers, but also combatants who have taken up arms and are ready to go to war.

Vasilevsky had only one solution, to make use of all the weapons and equipment left over from the time when the army had withdrawn from the Far East, and to reorganize it into a million-strong army to defend the Far East.

And relying on Voroshilov as a line of defense, in front of and behind the upper and lower reaches of the Ussuri River, build fortifications, go north to Boli, south to Vladivostok, form the core of the defense.

Vasilevsky's capabilities were there, at least with sufficient strategic space and troops, and a detailed defense plan was quickly drawn up.

On the Western Front, the artillery fire of the Soviet army has always been a good way to suppress the Germans, and a large number of artillery pieces can easily destroy the offensive of armored clusters, while here in the Far East, although the number of artillery is not as good as that of the Western Front, it is definitely not a lot.

A large number of artillery pieces and shells, all of which were deployed to the rear of the defensive line, were meticulously camouflaged, and once the Red Alert Empire really intended to attack the Far East, Vasilevsky would abandon the narrow area close to North Korea, so that the enemy could drive straight in, and when the enemy advanced to the most exhausted, he would almost reach Voroshilov, and the Soviet troops would be able to meet the enemy with ease.

In armored cluster operations, a one-time in-depth attack is at most about 100 to 200 kilometers, and in places like the Far East, the distance of the attack will be relatively short.

When Vasilevsky arrived in the Far East, General Zhan Fuchun, commander of the Third Theater of Operations in Rozhin, immediately received information about Vasilevsky's arrival.

The famous Soviet generals of World War II came to the Far East, and Zhan Fuchun also paid enough attention to it, and finished the work of inspecting the progress of the preparation of the troops, and returned to the command ship Suzaku by helicopter.

On the command ship Suzaku, Zhan Fuchun's old partner, Admiral Liu Lieutenant Marshal, chief of staff of the Third Theater, was also waiting for his arrival in the conference room on the ship.

Zhan Fuchun and Lieutenant Marshal Liu, from the beginning of their partnership to the present, have been promoted to generals from a major general to a corps commander back then, and as the No. 1 and No. 2 people in the huge theater of operations, they are also very rich in ability and experience.

If Vasilevsky is a famous general who came out of the battlefield and a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time, then Zhan Fuchun and Zhan Fuchun are also generals in the new era who have determined their status and prestige from one battle after another.

"Vasilevsky, this old thing is about to fall into disrepute."

As soon as he walked into the conference room, Zhan Fuchun took off the general's coat on his body and said to his old buddy.

"But this old man is not easy to deal with." Liu Zhongshuai said.

"Then we have to see what opponent we have encountered, for Germany, he is indeed a little difficult to deal with, but any opponent under asymmetrical conditions, it is like giving Vasilevsky a million sheep, can he win 500,000 tigers?" Zhan Fuchun said.

"Old man, I don't know you yet." When Lieutenant Marshal Liu heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "If you don't pay attention to it, will you come back suddenly?" ”

Zhan Fuchun didn't care about anything, and said: "It's not wrong to despise the opponent strategically and attach importance to the opponent tactically." ”

"It's almost a month." Liu Zhongshuai said.

Zhan Fuchun nodded and said, "Suzaku, turn on the holographic map projection." ”

In the conference room, the artificial intelligence system on the command ship immediately responded: "Okay. ”

As soon as Suzaku's words fell, in the center of the conference room, a huge projection map opened, and it was a detailed map of the Far East, and the mountains, rivers, roads, and bridges on it were clearly presented in front of everyone.

On the simulated map of physical strength, a recent line of march runs through it, and between Korea and Shuangseongzi is not exactly a flat river, and like many coastal areas, there are rolling mountains.

The terrain isn't too complicated, but it's not easy to walk either, unlike the Middle East, where it's flat everywhere.

The offensive could not be delayed any longer, it was summer in the Far East, and once winter came, the march would become very difficult.

The straight-line distance from Luojin to Shuangchengzi is 220 kilometers, and the journey on the road is more than 280 kilometers.

At present, all tank tracks in the third theater are equipped with rubber modules, which can reduce the wear of the tracks as much as possible and extend the crawler motorcycle hours.

"Do you want the troops to adjust their tactics?" Lieutenant Marshal Liu looked at the detailed offensive red line on the map in front of him and asked.

"Originally, it was planned to directly divide the troops into three routes, attacking Boli, Shuangchengzi and Vladivostok respectively, but now it seems completely unnecessary, isn't Vasilevsky in Shuangchengzi? Then adjust the tactics, concentrate all the main forces, directly attack Shuangchengzi, cut off this core hub, and then take Vladivostok. Zhan Fuchun said.

"If Vladivostok is not captured, there will be a lot of supply pressure in a month." Liu Zhongshuai said.

"Then capture Shuangchengzi in half a month, and then take Vladivostok in half a month." Zhan Fuchun said confidently.
