Revolution 1938

() With the first wave of transfer trains leaving the platform, Wuhan, which has been noisy for a long time, finally ushered in the moment of farce curtain call.For 10 days, the streets and alleys in the Hankou area were full of traffic, with all kinds of strange equipment passing by.

Not to mention those chariots that are covered with auxiliary armor and look huge, but always give people a look of poor defense. Curious people have already seen them when they were at the dock.Those iron boxes that look similar to cars but have 8 wheels are no longer surprising. Isn’t this something similar to a truck, nothing more than a lid.

But when these chariots suddenly passed by on flatbed trucks by themselves, the old and young men, government officials, and foreign counselors who were waiting on the street to watch the excitement couldn't understand.

"Big brother, do you think these labor parties have too much money to burn? Why do you need to find some big trucks to transport the good bastards if they don't go on the ground?"

"If you want me to tell you, it is estimated that the Labor Party is so rare that these bastards are not willing to use them casually."

In the eyes of ordinary people, such transportation is more or less superfluous, but it is another reason for the eyes of government officials and foreign envoys.

At this time, in the living room on the second floor of the French embassy and consulate in the French Concession, a special reception was being held. The host of the reception was Sir Bonaparte who fainted on the street two days ago.

In addition to the ambassadors and counselors from various countries in Hankou, the participants also included He Yingqing and Admiral He, who are currently number one in the military staff of the Republic of China Zheng Fu in Wuhan.At this moment, all the participants gathered around the windows near the street, watching the transfer teams coming and going, while drinking the top red wine produced in the Burgundy region of France that Jazz reluctantly took out. .

"How about it? How does Burgundy's top red wine taste? It's definitely much better than the so-called dry red wine produced by those Bordeaux country bumpkins. The aftertaste, the taste..."

While Sir Bonaparte was still commenting loudly on the red wine he had hidden for a long time, the people in the reception had already focused their attention on the scenery outside the window.

"Colonel Lawrence, what do you think of these Labor Party tanks? I heard that these are all manufactured by the Soviet Union with technology obtained from your country."

"This is just a conjecture. Should you ask the fat man from the Soviet Union over there? Our German Empire doesn't think these can be counted as our technology. Our tanks in the German Empire do not need to be equipped with auxiliary armor. There is no need to add Such a large caliber can be used on a tank."

"Colonel Lawrence's analysis is quite correct"

At this time, He Yingqing, the only Chinese person in this reception, had already come here holding a wine glass.Subsequently, the conclusions of the German Counselor were attached.

"According to the internal inquiries of our Republican Party, these tanks are actually modified by the Soviet Union with large agricultural tractors, so they look very huge, and the cannons on them are simply ordinary artillery placed on the tractors, and then put on wood. The shell of the chariot is made, so we can't evaluate the firepower, but the defense is worrying!

It is said that during the mutual attack and defense with the Japanese army in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions last month, although these tanks were superior in attack power due to their larger artillery caliber, they suffered heavy losses due to their poor defense. Look, look , the side of this chariot looks hollow inside. "

With He Yingqing's finger pointing in the past direction, everyone saw the famous hollow defensive triangle exposed on the side of the 99-modified main battle tank on a flatbed truck, and they couldn't help but nodded and felt that what Admiral He said was true.

"So, we guess that the equipment of this so-called South China Sea Fleet was temporarily rebuilt by the Soviets with agricultural machinery. I heard from a few friends in the UK that they saw that only one door was installed on the warships of those fleets in Puhai. Guns, we guess they are all converted civilian ships, so they have to be equipped, and their reliability is also questionable.

If it is easy to move, these labor parties will not use flatbed trucks to haul them. It can also be seen from the side that the labor party itself is not at ease with these equipment, and they still lack reliable tank drivers, and even less Equipment maintenance. "

"However, the flatbed truck itself is also very interesting. Judging from the size of the tires, it can be seen that its carrying capacity is still very strong."

"No, no, Colonel Lawrence, you can't look at these Labor parties through the eyes of your country's technology, they can use every method you can't imagine to achieve their goals.

Take a closer look at this flatbed truck, there are so many tires, why do you do this?Is it because there are no good tires, so you need to install more to prevent flat tires, so it can be seen that the reliability of this kind of car will not be much better. As for the tires you said are so big, I think Fortunately, the wheels of the donkey-drawn carts in our country are basically this big. "

Hearing this comment from the de facto No. 8 figure in the Zheng fu army of the Republic of China, the foreigners around looked at each other, did not say anything, but toasted each other, and then continued to look out the window.At this time, the flatbed trucks pulling the large chariots had gone away, and a row of armored vehicles with [-] wheels came into everyone's sight.At this time, Admiral He was so excited that he was talking, he didn't think much, so he spoke.

"Look, look, even with this kind of armored vehicle, the Labor Party has two more wheels than others. Where do you see this kind of situation in your country? Who doesn't have four wheels enough?"

After hearing this, several foreign adults around had wanton expressions, and could not say anything more. At this time, the British Military Counselor who was on the side suddenly stabbed the German counterpart next to him.

"This small-caliber artillery is probably made by you Germans."

"It should be from the Soviets. Our German Empire has never used such a small-caliber artillery on tanks. The Soviets seem to have them. However, the shape of this small turret is very characteristic. I think I would like to get to know it when I have time." designer of a chariot."

"I also feel the same way. In my opinion, the trip to Yan'an is still necessary."

Regardless of what these people were thinking at this time, the Beijin Group, which had already occupied the train station and obtained the train, was no longer willing to pay attention to other things at this time, but transported all the staff to Xi'an as quickly as possible.

And in Wuhan ten days later, apart from the empty wharf area, all that can be left is the suddenly spotless and well-connected Dahankou neighborhood, and the most surprising thing is that when everyone thought that these soldiers left Wuhan After that, Hankou should return to the crowded and dirty look, but they all made mistakes.

Hankou has never been in chaos since then. The citizens of Hankou, who have tasted the benefits of cleanliness, have demonstrated the people's yearning for a better life with practical actions. They rely on their own strength to form a team that also holds the banner of "urban management" high. Walk the streets every day.Some learned how to clean the streets, and others learned how to break down street barriers. Similarly, this urban management team has established brilliant achievements time and time again in the years since then.

Of course, the original urban management team had long since disappeared. They had merged into the northward torrent, and they had long forgotten the situation in Hankou, just as the torrent was heading northwest.In the distant land of Northeast China, which is already the season of singing birds and fragrant flowers, an invisible torrent is also surging.

Zhang Gufeng, this small mountain on the border of China, North Korea, and the Soviet Union, has become the focus of the entire Northeast these two days. This small hill has always belonged to the land of China. Therefore, after Japan occupied Manchuria, it also took it Treat it as your own territory, but because it is located on the border of the three countries, it is more sensitive, and the transportation is inconvenient, so Ri himself did not make any other preparations except erecting a stone tablet on it.

But on the afternoon of June 1938, 6, this place became lively. When a patrol team of the Kwantung Army passed by Zhanggufeng, it was surprised to find that the Soviet flag was flying on this small hill, and the entire mountaintop was covered. Barbed wire surrounds it.

It's okay, the Soviets invaded. Although the so-called Zhanggufeng is a small place, it is located in an important place. Once the Soviets hold it, neither Manchuria nor North Korea will be at peace. The patrol team is approaching quietly. When we were 100 meters below Zhanggu Peak, bullets burst out everywhere. It turned out that the Soviets had already ambushed and waited until they got close before launching the attack. The Japanese army squad leader died on the spot, while the rest hurriedly retreated.

Zhang Gufeng was occupied by the Soviet army, the patrol team was attacked, and news one after another was gathered into the headquarters of the Kwantung Army. As early as last month, the Japanese base camp set a strategy for the northward advance, and the Japanese Army Department has always wanted to try Trying to test the Soviet army, the pace of the Kwantung Army's military expansion and preparations has not weakened, and most of the troops have already gathered near the entire Soviet-Manchurian border.

However, what surprised the headquarters of the Kwantung Army and the base camp of the Japanese Army was that the Soviets took the lead and quietly occupied the key points on the border of Manchuria. The Army Staff Headquarters was very injured. They have always plotted against the enemy, but today they encountered someone else plotting against them.

After discovering the problem, the clockwork of the entire Japanese army began to tighten. Since it is a territorial dispute, and the opponent is not a low-level opponent like China, of course diplomacy goes first.

In the early morning of June 6th, the government of Japan sent a note to the government of the Soviet Union, claiming that on the map of the Japanese General Staff, the Sino-Soviet border bypassed the east bank of Lake Hassan. Sweeping graves, it can be seen that it is the territory of "Manchuria".The note strongly demands that the area around Lake Hassan be designated as Japanese territory.

Of course, the Soviet government, which is always greedy for land, of course still resolutely rejected this so-called reasonable request of the Japanese government.Perhaps it is not appropriate to say that it is rejected, it should be that the Soviet government completely ignored the matter, and everything remained as usual without any reply.

Of course, Japan's Zheng Fu didn't expect any reply. Naturally, he didn't continue to do anything, but at the same time as the note, he started the military deployment of the entire North Korean occupied area.The entire Lake Hassan area is covered in battle clouds.

Today's first update, Calvin is very serious today, probably because he was drunk yesterday, well, the big scene is about to start, and the key events of the first chapter of the Northward Journey will also be presented to everyone, so everyone give some support!What about the red ticket, what about the monthly ticket!
