The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Zhukov knew the training level and equipment quality of the First Army very well.As the core force guarding the Far East, that arrogant fat man of the old man actually has capital. According to general estimates, after he rushes up, even if he can't help the No.17 Army to make a breakthrough, at least he can hold down the Chinese Front Army. The offensive won precious time for the full mobilization of the rear and the deployment of troops.

Now, all the estimates have come to nothing, and Zhukov suddenly felt helpless!

In just three days, they broke through [-] kilometers and defeated the entire strength of two armies. If this continues, doesn't it mean that in two or three days, the Chinese will be able to come to the city of Ulan-Ude, and even Simply cut off the Far East Railway and completely isolate the vast area? !

If that was the case, Zhukov decided that he didn't need to do anything else, and it was the safest thing to do, otherwise he would be arrested and shot by Moscow—his failure was too tragic and unforgivable.Comrade Stalin is not a leader with a broad mind!

10 people, that's it.

Zhukov felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, and he was not even interested in cursing the incompetence of the bastards or Galilovich from the air. The most important thing right now was how to save the situation and stop the Chinese from continuing to attack.

He first called Lieutenant General Konev, the commander of the Transbaikal Military District, who was stepping up the deployment of troops. Probably the gossip spread quickly. Konev knew that something was wrong, and he was very proactive. He didn't need him to force him. He patted his chest and assured: "Please rest assured, Comrade Zhukov! We have mobilized all our forces and tried our best to mobilize to the south, ensuring that before the Chinese attack, we will form a defense against the Ulan-Ude area!"

Zhukov almost yelled, your grandma has the face to say it!Most of the legion itself has been scattered around Lake Baikal, and the main force is still pushing towards the southern end of the Far East Railway, defending the line from Tangnu Ulianghai to Selenkinsk, which requires the mobilization of turtles. This is clearly Take cover early!

Hold your breath.They also sent power to Commander Sergoyev of the Second Military Region. The other party was also more happy, and he generated as many people as possible. However, the Chinese attack in front of them was already very crazy. When can they slow down? Hard to say…….

Zhukov savagely disconnected the phone, turned around seven or eight times on the spot, his bald head with bulging veins, howled a few times like a trapped animal to vent his anger.Then he called Commander Yumashev, intending to mobilize the one hundred thousand troops from the Primorsky Krai to help.

Yumashev had just lost more than half of his naval power, and he was devastated and spoke weakly: "Comrade Zhukov, it's not that I didn't follow your instructions, you all know that we just suffered a shameless sneak attack, my ship. My ship. The boys in the navy are finished! If the coastal defense force is transferred away and they attack, I cannot bear the responsibility. Moreover, the heavy snow has completely blocked the northern channel, and even if I want to transfer troops, I will not be able to do so in a short time. "

Zhukov didn't get mad this time. After thinking about it, he comforted Yumashev to take on the heavy responsibility bravely.In any case, it is necessary to ensure that even if there is no support from the Front Army or Moscow, it will continue to the end.

Having said this, Zhukov himself felt a little blush, is it pure deceit!But there was nothing he could do, obviously.China's offensive was deliberate and planned for a long time, and even after the timing was so grasped, it was far beyond Soviet Russia's expectations. The sharpness of the offensive, the resolute breakthrough, and the rapid progress made it impossible to parry.

If it were him, standing in Yumashev's position, I'm afraid that's the only way to go.

There are also people from the No.15 Army and the Sixteen Army, but they have already moved to this side desperately, but the heavy snow blocked the mountain and blocked the road, and the progress was as slow as ants crawling.

The most terrible thing is the attack launched from the northern part of Heilongjiang, which has seriously restrained the actions of the heavy troops there.Originally, Mao Zi planned to take advantage of the fact that China and the United States and Japan were both hurt, and then suddenly went south from the north to take advantage of the fire, and the military deployment he made has now become a deadly burden!

The main roads that opened up with China, including Vladivostok, Shuangchengzi, Khabarovsk, Hailanpao, and Chita, were violently bombarded at the same time, and countless infantry rushed forward along the shattered defense system. Look at that posture , with a big breath, he swallowed the entire Far East!

As the supreme commander, Zhukov knew well that Soviet Russia had prepared more than 50 troops here just for defense and looting.So how many troops were mobilized when the Chinese launched a surprise attack?

Just looking at the battlefield in northern Mongolia, according to the analysis of the artillery fire density at the front line, and the intelligence collection over the past year or so, there are 30 million Mongolian garrisons alone.There are also 10,000+ troops stationed in Manzhouli. By analogy, the number of first-line troops in other places along the Heilongjiang line may not be less than 20. Counting the second echelon, the Chinese have invested 100 million people at least. !

This is not counting logistics, engineering soldiers and civilian husbands. Otherwise, the total number of people attacking the entire Far East may be more than the population and army here!China dare not say anything else, in terms of the number of people, it is number one in the world!

An army of 100 million armed to the teeth came over, just thinking about it makes one's scalp tingle!

Zhukov felt quite stretched, and after much deliberation, he had no choice but to report the difficulties he was facing to Moscow, and whether it was life or death, Comrade Iron and Steel could deal with it at will!

Stalin was also stunned by the sudden news, and roared in disbelief: "You said the Chinese are really going to attack in an all-out way?! How dare they? Where did they get their strength! Don't think I don't know, they The main force of the United States is now dragging on the west coast of the United States! At the same time launching a war against all the most powerful countries in the world, are they crazy?!"

... Well, the old Maozi probably has a concept in his heart, I can hit you, but it is against the rules for you to hit me.As long as we, the Great Soviet, take advantage of the fire to rob and add trouble, we will not allow others to stab the knife secretly.What logic!

After Stalin finished the great purge, he completely established his own stable position, his power and prestige reached a new height, and people naturally inflated inevitably.

However, he is also a bit bitter about the fact that Hitler's Germany has completed the hegemony of Europe in just over a year, up to now.The five tuberculosis and seven injuries that are still taking care of the lingering British and French allied forces in the two battlefields of North Africa and the Atlantic Ocean are useless for the millions of troops that have been reorganized in the country. Obviously, the next target of the mustache, who is flying the banner of revenge, is very likely It is the Soviet!

If there is only such an enemy, relying on the depth and severe cold of thousands of kilometers.Presumably it can hold up.But there is an additional China that has risen suddenly, and it is also led by a madman like a madman. They all have enmity with the Soviet Union. Once they are attacked by two sides, the consequences will be disastrous!

Stalin racked his brains to instigate left and right, and finally got the situation today. How did he expect the situation to change so quickly!

As a member of the Central Committee, Marshal Roshilov, although not very good at diplomacy, still has some knowledge.Of course, just some.And most of them are relatively old and backward, but he is one of the only two remaining marshals, and he once undertook the important task of negotiating and establishing an anti-fascist united front. In theory, he is one of the very few people who can speak in front of Stalin. one.

Seeing Comrade Iron and Steel's fury, he accompanied Xiaoxin to explain: "Dear Comrade Stalin, this kind of thing happened mostly because of the Chinese people's usual arrogance and dishonesty! Besides, it was probably that strange earthquake. The tsunami seriously affected the attack of the Japanese and American coalition forces, temporarily freeing their forces in the north. The guy surnamed Zhu took the opportunity to order them to launch a sneak attack---at this critical moment when the whole world is doing its duty for anti-fascism, Stabbing a knife at an ally is really shameless!"

Stalin's brain is easy to use, and he can think clearly without his explanation. He is panting heavily, and feels that his blood pressure is a bit high.

He actually knew it too.The earthquake and tsunami that completely ruined Japan helped the Chinese a lot. The powerful British and American coalition forces became rootless duckweed. Just suppressing the rebellion in North Korea and Japan's remnant land, they were too busy to deal with natural disasters, and launched a war?That was completely heartless.

So the more than 100 million Chinese Northern Army Corps originally used to deal with them was free.Immediately changed the target.Stalin felt his head hurt like it was about to split open. How could such a fatal turning point happen?Could it be that the light of truth has already shone on the Chinese people?

In fact, deep down, he is afraid!

How serious are the consequences of the purge?The main constructive force of Soviet Russia, the most capable three of the five marshals were killed by him, and more than [-]% of the outstanding commanders in the army were caught dead, and the combat effectiveness was not even as weak as that of the October Revolution. The army, when it comes to war, has no advanced weapons and equipment, but its unified command ability is a mess.

In his heart, he was expecting the world to continue to be chaotic, and then he would steal the cold to give the Soviet a few years of respite, calmly reorganize and rebuild into an indestructible iron army, but unfortunately, God did not follow his wishes.

The weak Chinese in the past dare to stab and take the initiative to attack. If they make a decisive breakthrough in the Far East, it will greatly restrain the military power of the entire country, and even threaten the security of most of the country in Asia!Especially from Western Xinjiang to Kazakhstan, it is absolutely unbearable!

Stalin was even more worried that China, which has a huge long-range bomber force, would directly attack long distances from western Xinjiang. Even if it failed to bomb Moscow, it would still be enough to destroy the industrial base in the Ural Mountains.

When it really came to that point, would Hitler sit back and watch the opportunity not seize it?of course not!If it were him, he would have launched it with all his strength at the first time, rolling eastward with millions of troops, and crushing the great Soviet Russia abruptly. At that time, the consequences would be disastrous!

"No! Such a thing must not be allowed to happen!"

Stalin's gaffe was just a momentary gaffe, and it was just the result of his old age and lack of energy. His firm will did not allow any mistakes to occur to him, so he immediately resumed his cold and majestic posture, and ordered in a firm tone: " If the Chinese want war, we will give him a head-on blow! Tell Zhukov that I will give him whatever he wants! As long as he defeats the Chinese, he will be a hero of the Soviet Union!"

Roshilov expressed his great admiration and admiration for the leader's wise and wise decision---he only has such a little ability left, and other sincerity can't help much.

On the contrary, the mild-mannered Chief of the General Staff Shaposhnikov made a bold suggestion at the critical moment: "Comrade Stalin, in view of the dangers we are facing at present, the great Soviet should not alone face the German fascist and The double threat of Chinese thugs, we have to shoulder the great historical responsibility, so the rescued capitalist Britain and the United States should show enough respect for this. In addition, we should do well to temporarily lose the Far East due to irresistible reasons Prepare accordingly. Then you must have an appropriate response plan for Comrade Zhukov, Comrade Konev and other outstanding generals in advance!"

"Huh?!" Stalin was confused by his words, and it was easy to understand earlier. He was nothing more than taking the opportunity to threaten Britain and the United States to increase their support, such as advanced machine tools, electronic and electrical equipment.Engines, large aircraft and so on should be given some, the more the better.

But what about the latter, let Lao Tzu admit defeat now?Are you kidding me? The great Soviet is invincible. How could my majestic steel rule bow to the little Chinese and give up more than 100 million square kilometers of land? !

He was just about to deliver the goods out of habit, when he suddenly noticed the word "force majeure" in Shaposhnikov's words, and savored it.Suddenly feel mysterious.

good!force majeure!Very good words!Think about it, the terrible black snow that is raging in the Far East, and the extreme cold that can make people's blood coagulate, isn't it a catastrophic weather situation that is difficult to overcome by manpower!If you can't even use weapons and people can't move, how can you fight this battle?

But wait!In this way, does it mean that the great Soviet will admit defeat to the hateful Chinese boys? !Why did they farmers withstand the severe cold weather that the fighting nation could not bear.This is simply great irony!

But after all, Stalin was wise and great for half his life, and if you think about it deeply, you will know the unspeakable problem.China has continuously exploded too many black technologies over the years.The growth rate is unbelievable, and after three years of confrontation with Japan in Northeast Mongolia, everything has been experienced.The Soviet, which has mental calculations but no intentions, is indeed in a bit of trouble.

He was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but threw the question to Marshal Timoshenko, the new People's Commissar of National Defense.

This brave and brave bald general has an unparalleled keen sense of war, and his ability to grasp the overall situation is also outstanding.He admitted very frankly: "I agree with the opinion of the Chief of Staff. Our biggest enemy is Hitler's Germany. They are too close to Moscow, and they may defeat the United Kingdom at any time and completely pass through Western Europe! Although China is temporarily powerful, its population There are many, the territory is large. There are many internal conflicts, and the powerful United States is holding back in the Pacific Ocean. In the long-term future, we will not be able to escape. Our temporary passive defeat in the Far East does not explain anything. When we defeat fascist Germany, we will look back calmly Just clean them up!"

To be clear, if the Far East is lost, it will be lost, and it will be regained in the future!

Stalin found this remark very pleasant.In the final analysis, the polar bear is still a European country, and the vast land of the Far East is just a territory covered by unlimited expansion ambitions, which does not have much impact on its real strength.Instead of wasting so much energy and tossing there that it affects the preparations for the war against Germany, it would be better for a strong man to cut off his wrist!

Just doing this is really heartbreaking and quick, but it will affect his own prestige... Stalin fell into deep thought, he must consider the pros and cons of it.

As for the convicts and punishments of generals such as Zhukov and Konev, he simply left them behind, and that doesn't need to be considered.

Crisis and difficulties afflicted Lao Maozi's leading generals.As the instigator, Zhu Bin was also not idle.After all the battles in the front entered the first round, he couldn't watch the live broadcast in the base camp at the back. He was anxious, so he simply ran out again, took the "big-billed parrot" aircraft and ran all the way, and arrived in Irkutsk quietly. To the east, at the southern foot of the Parimsky Mountains, on the lake in the southern part of Lake Baikal.

He was so grandiose, and he directly killed the enemy's hinterland as if there was no one else around. Across the big lake, he was far away from Ulan-Ude, where the headquarters of the Far Eastern Front Army was located.

At this time, the Baikal Lake area was still raging with strong winds and blizzards. The black snow for many days wrapped every mountain tightly, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur, which made it difficult to breathe.

The lake was covered with thick ice, and the heavy "big-billed parrot" could not move even if pressed on it. Surrounded by a group of heavily armed super soldiers, Zhu Bin stepped onto the ice, facing the cold wind that was blowing from the ground, pointing to the vast expanse. Ice and snow without seeing the border, said loudly: "Look, this is the place where Su Wu herded sheep. Since ancient times, this place has been occupied by nomads for a long time. They call it Beihai. Now, it has become the territory of Lao Maozi, and the name has also been changed. Became Lake Baikal. Which one do you think sounds better?"

"Of course it's the North Sea! Although it's not as good as the so-called 'Northern Darkness' for the Arctic Ocean, it still feels appropriate."

Secretary and adjutant Zhang Yi calmly took over the conversation.He is wearing a multi-functional spacesuit inner suit that is cold-proof, heat-insulating, radiation-proof, and bioremediation, and is wrapped in a thick fur coat. Only two eyes shine with wisdom from between the long hairs, looking into the vast expanse of space. Xue Ye's eyes were full of enthusiasm.

As a young soldier with ideals and aspirations, he can first set foot on the enemy's territory and completely occupy him in the future. From the bottom of his bones, he can feel the sense of historical mission boiling!

Zhu Bin laughed loudly and said, "If you want me to say, it's not good! My favorite is the title in the Tang Dynasty, 'Xiaohai'! I am a great Chinese, and I am destined to cover up the world. How could it be that a bunch of people are ignorant and uneducated. There is an artificial lake in the city of Beiping that the sea turtles can look up to? Although this large lake is the largest freshwater lake in the world, with a total capacity of one-fifth of the world! Its size and depth are unparalleled in the world, and it also contains great secrets , but in any case, compared with the seas of China, it can only be regarded as a junior. I don’t care what the nomads who only knew how to herd horses and plunder in the past said, since it is destined to be owned by our China, we have to do what I want! "

With a rather heroic swipe, he shouted loudly: "From now on, this will be the inner lake in northern China! Today, let's take it first!" (To be continued...)
