Stalin's Order (2)
"What the hell, where did Stalin go all at once, and the conditions for him to be at least Chairman Chiang had to be, right?" Bangs sighed. "You don't have to go to the Kremlin to find Stalin, at our level, we have already been shot before we see Red Square!" Su Huizhen said. "So what to do, is there no way?" Bangs asked unwillingly. "Of course there is a way, I'll go to my brother and think of a way!" After Su Huizhen finished speaking, she got up and went to her brother! Soon the news came back, and his brother said that this kind of arms manufacturing materials were indeed not within the scope of support for the Chinese Communist Party, not to mention himself, even the commander of the Far Eastern Military Region would not dare to make his own decisions! Su Huizhen discussed it with Liu Hai, if this can't work, then it's not something that can be done at her level. The two of them reported No. 1 and asked him to find a way! Su Huizhen said, this is the only way, and Liu Hai agreed! Su Huizhen reported the situation here to her superiors and asked for help!
Liu Hai's telegram arrived on the table of No. 1, and No. 1 also frowned, because Stalin's level was not something he could say, and on the issue of artillery manufacturing at this stage, as the director said, it was impossible to build high-quality large-caliber artillery, and even if the large-caliber artillery was made, it was not at the same level as the captured American artillery in terms of power and range. After some consideration, No. 1 decided to report to the Central Committee, because he thought the same as Liu Hai, the superiors would always have a way! Sure enough, the matter was reported to the central authorities, and the central authorities attached great importance to it, and now the development of the situation on the battlefield across the country has reached the time when it is about to be decided or defeated, Chiang Kai-shek's all-out offensive and key offensive have all been crushed, the People's Liberation Army is also strong enough, and the northeast battlefield plays a pivotal role in the entire warIt will also be a powerful force that can influence the situation of the war, so after consideration, the Central Committee decided to start a dialogue with Moscow to strive for support in this regard!
The news of the Chinese Communists reached Moscow, and the report of the incident was quickly placed on the desk of Stalin, the head of the Soviet Union. When Stalin saw this, he called Beria, who he trusted the most, to discuss the matter, because when it came to Stalin's level, it was not a matter of a few machines. "Do you think China's war will be won by the Communist Party or by the Kuomintang?" Stalin took his pipe and looked at Beria. Beria pondered for a moment and said, "China's affairs are actually very simple, China is a big country, the Communist Party of China has won the hearts of the majority of the people, and victory is only a matter of time!" "Do you really think so?" Stalin took a puff of his cigarette and said. "Yes! Not only these, but also the recent development of the situation in the Chinese battlefield, Lin Biao, the commander of the communist army in the northeast battlefield, launched the Linjiang Campaign, eliminating many Kuomintang troops, some of which are American weapons troops, judging by my military quality, it is only a matter of time before Lin Biao takes the northeast! The development of other battlefields in China is also going well, and it is time to decide the winner! "Here's the thing, Pavlovich, the Chinese study leader in the Far East asked for the purchase of a complete set of machines for the manufacture of artillery, what do you think will happen if we agree?" Stalin asked again. "That will help Lin Biao to win, this is the best, the Northeast is closest to us, if the Kuomintang wins, it will become the sphere of influence of the United States, which is very undesirable for us, I think it should be given to them, of course not the latest type!" Beria said. "But I heard that the Kuomintang has recently attacked Yan'an, the headquarters of the Chinese Communist Party, and even * has withdrawn, you go and see the * thing, if he is captured or killed, then we will reconsider this matter!" "Okay!" Beria already understood what Stalin meant .
In fact, at this time, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, codenamed Kunlun Column, turned to war in northern Shaanxi under the leadership of *, and Hu Zongnan of the Kuomintang held a military meeting in Luochuan, and decided to form two corps on the left and right with Liu Huan's integrated 29th Army and Dong Zhao's integrated First Army, and adopted a pincer offensive in an attempt to encircle and annihilate the Northern Shaanxi People's Liberation Army and occupy Yan'an and the entire border area; commanded fifteen brigades (140,000 men) to invade Yan'an; Ordered the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division to enter the empty city of Yan'an, Hu Zongnan organized the operational staff officers to fabricate battle reports, boasted of the "major victory" of "capturing 50,000 enemies", and was awarded the Order of the Second Class with the Great Silk Cloud, Hu Zongnan moved his forward command post from Yichuan to Yan'an, and drew out the strength of five integrated brigades to garrison Yan'an, and the mobile offensive force was reduced to only 10 integrated brigades; After the 31st Brigade was annihilated in most of Qinghuatou, and the brigade commander Li Jiyun was captured, Hu Zongnan's actions became more cautious, adopting the "square tactics" formulated by the Ministry of National Defense, and advancing steadily and steadily, which ordered Liu Kan's corps and Dong Zhao's corps to carry out a "sweep" to find the main force of the Northwest Field Army for a decisive battle, and to fight again and again; The 135th Brigade was completely annihilated at the Yangma River, and the acting brigade commander Mai Zongyu was captured; The 167th Brigade was completely annihilated in Panlong, the brigade commander Li Kungang was captured, and many strategic materials in Panlong became trophies of the People's Liberation Army; In June, Hu Zongnan was appointed director of the Xi'an Pacification Office; In order to mobilize and contain Hu Zongnan's main force, the Northwest Field Army cooperated with Chen Xie's corps to advance into western Henan and attack Yulin, Hu Zongnan ordered the reorganized 36th Division and other troops to reinforce, the PLA took the initiative to withdraw from the siege, Hu Zongnan ordered the troops to pursue, and the reorganized 36th Division was wiped out in Shajiadian, and the division commander Zhong Song escaped in disguise; The People's Liberation Army stormed Qingjian, and the integrated 76th Division guarding Qingjian was completely annihilated, and the division commander Liao Ang was captured; Most of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region was recovered by the People's Liberation Army. The Soviets did not really grasp this situation, but were skeptical of the Kuomintang's war report, and Stalin hesitated about the prospects of the war in China.
After a few days, Beria was convinced of several great victories of the Northwest Liberation Army, and also judged a more accurate judgment based on the actual battlefield situation: the Kuomintang is already in the twilight, and defeat is a matter of time! "Report to Comrade Stalin, according to what we know, the Kuomintang is no longer good, and according to our estimates, a decisive battle will break out between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in a year or two! * The odds are great, if we support it now, China will be ours in the future! "Beria stand up straight and report to Stalin!" If that's the case, it's okay to give them some machines, but we need to look at it again, after all, US imperialism is not blown, you tell the Far East that you can promise to give them machines, but you have to prepare time, let's say three months, do you understand? Stalin said. Beria understood, and Stalin meant it very clearly, that is, to see again how the situation develops! Beria understood what Stalin meant!
"Hahaha, dear Liu, you are so remarkable that your request was agreed to by Comrade Stalin, who promised to give you a whole set of machines!" Otrov happily said to bangs with a bottle of vodka. "Really? That's great! When can we pick up the machine? Liu Hai also asked happily when he heard the news. Haha, don't worry, we still have to use the existing machines, so the machines you need need need to be shipped from the West, so you have to wait a little longer! Otrov happily poured out vodka and bangs and drank. Just when the two of them were drinking happily, Su Huizhen ran in. "It's too timely, beauty, you have come back, the great Comrade Stalin has promised to help you, and Liu and I are celebrating!" Outrov said. "Otrov, this is indeed a thing to be happy about, I have a little whisper to celebrate it, is it okay?" Su Huizhen said with some embarrassment. "Hahaha, it's a pity, I'm not as handsome as Liu, if you are twenty years younger, you must be willing to tell me!" After Otrov finished speaking, he left with the wine bottle, and Su Huizhen immediately pounced in front of Liu Hai and talked to him.
"Dear Hai, I have just returned from my brother, and my brother told me that Stalin agreed to help us, but we still have to wait, because he still needs to see how we behave, that is to say, in the last few months, the Northeast Liberation Army needs to use actual results to further assure Comrade Stalin that we can achieve the final victory, because the Soviet Union will only come to the aid of China's future masters, not the losers!" Su Huizhen said to Liu Hai. "In other words, if our troops want to get high-quality artillery and shells, they must prove themselves by their records?" Bangs asked. "Well, that's what it means, so I suggest that you send a telegram to No. 1 and see if it is possible to organize one or two campaigns to prove us to Comrade Stalin!" Su Huilun said. "Well, since you Soviet leaders want to take a look at the results, that's it!" Bangs said, "I'm going to send a message to Chief One!" ”
After receiving the telegram from Liu Hai, the No. 1 leader was very happy, because he had just drawn up a campaign plan, and now this battle also played an unexpected and huge role, and he believed that after the end of this battle, his troops would have more cannons and shells, but this battle had the opposite effect, so that he lost the opportunity to get a complete set of cannon manufacturing machinery this time, because this battle was one of the limited defeats of the No. 1 chief, --- the Battle of Siping!
