The originally silent Allied Army artillery group suddenly burst into deafening roars at this time!All gun positions start firing at the highest speed.The sound of the cannon has been completely connected into a whole.Only rumbling roars echoed around the people, and the violent jolts made even people a few kilometers away unable to stand still.This overwhelming firepower stunned the officers and soldiers of the Red Army who had already seen the firepower of the Japanese army!This time the gunfire was launched by Xu Jin's barrage.According to the advancing speed of the infantry, extending forward 200 meters per minute, the explosion point of the artillery fire first exploded layer by layer in the middle part of the front of the two armies, and the impact points were so dense.So much so that in the sight of the two armies, a wall of artillery fire that went straight into the sky was built consisting of explosions, shrapnel, smoke, dust, and deadly mustard gas.The Union Army's counterattack has begun!

Numerous junior officers jumped onto the trenches and stood at the top of the trenches under the artillery fire of the Red Army's counterattack. Flares of various colors also fell one after another, making everyone's faces flushed. "For communism, move forward!" This slogan is almost the same as that of the Red Army on the opposite side, and it also means one thing, that is, to attack forward!A total of three infantry divisions' first-line attacking forces poured out of the trenches one after another.The soldiers were all lightly packed.Only rifles, ammo, gas masks and a day's rations.Everyone grimly crawled out of the trench, which was as deep as one person.The artillery fire of the Red Army's counterattack was also quite violent. The shrapnel flying around caused many Union soldiers to fall into a pool of blood before they even made a single charge towards the enemy.But more people have already formed a wave of promenade lines, following the officer's command, and cautiously advancing behind the barrage fired by their own artillery.On the wilderness that has been battered into a patch of potholes, these soldiers maintained their offensive formation as much as possible, and marched forward... Behind the assault infantry, there were heavy machine guns and mortar teams following the movement. Provide fire support to the infantry after the barrage is over.

The only thing that greeted them was the not-so-heavy artillery fire from the Red Army, and the rain of bullets fired from a few remaining machine gun firepower points.The attacking team suffered casualties under the oncoming fire of the Red Army, especially when the advancing Xu Jin barrage crossed the Red Army's trench line and began to extend.The Red Army soldiers who survived the attack of fiery metal fragments and poisonous gas poured out of their respective artillery holes, and set up machine guns and rifles and 60mm and 80mm mortars in the trenches in a chaotic manner. come over.The attacking Union Army officers and soldiers were immediately beaten to pieces.

At this time, the desperate charge of the alliance army began!All the officers and soldiers who launched the attack, without any orders, switched from walking forward to a fast-paced charge!Everyone roared with ferocious faces, and charged forward frantically holding their rifles!The barbed wire and minefields have been cleared by the barrage of artillery fire, but only a few hundred meters away, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers rushing forward, roaring, like an unstoppable torrent!

The front-line forces of the Red Army have been greatly weakened by the evil poisonous gas of the Allied Army!Due to the small number and low quality of the gas masks aided by the Soviet Union, the mustard gas that suddenly appeared in this battle became an extremely sharp killing weapon just like the first appearance of poison gas warfare in the World War!Although the surviving Red Army officers and soldiers are still persisting, I don't know the strength and firepower of the troops compared to the huge attack kinetic energy of the Allied Army.The defensive position stretching for several kilometers defended by the Red Twelfth Army was quickly overwhelmed by the flood of Allied infantry.Hand-to-hand combat immediately unfolded in various trenches. The infantry on both sides had received strict fighting training, and all of them came in handy at the moment. What is even more heartbreaking is that both sides in the battle shouted the slogan of communism!The targets of this space-time purge are no longer willing to be killed...

Bayonets and bayonets, engineer shovels and engineer shovels, as well as fists and teeth were all scuffling together, and some crazy guys even rang the grenades hanging on their heads in the trenches, and the shrapnel separated everyone nearby. As the mow fell, wave after wave of Confederate soldiers continued to pour into the trenches.The Red Army soldiers on the first front finally couldn't resist, and retreated to the rear in disregard of the strict orders of the political cadres!

More than 800 rounds of high-explosive and gas bombs fired by more than [-] cannons ensured the success of the infantry commando in one fell swoop!Signal flares announcing victory rose from the front.Suddenly there was cheering from behind.In the first trench at this time, the officers and soldiers of the Union Army were rushing to reinforce the position under the command of the officer.A soldier from the Mongolian grassland panted and looked at his bearded company commander: "Brother, this battle is over, right? Can we go home?" The bearded company commander looked at the front solemnly, stretched out his hand He took out a cigarette from his arms: "Go home? It's still early! The Red Army is not that weak, they will organize a second and third line of defense! And we only have to take one by one! Listen, right now The officer's whistle is about to sound, and he wants to organize us to move on. Next time, there will be no such perfect artillery cover, and those guns will be inaccurate as soon as they are far away... It would be great if there were those iron lump tanks of the Kuomintang! "

Before the little soldier who was scared pale by the company commander's words came back to his senses, he heard a sharp whistling sound, and then the shouts of the officers urging them to die sounded from all over the trench, and the soldiers of the Union army were beaten again. They were driven out of the trenches one after another, and once again formed a skirmish line for the charge...

……

Inside the forward headquarters of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in Zhaodong County, the atmosphere was bustling and gloomy at this time.Even the high-spirited Soviet advisers in the past came in and out with a straight face, or argued around the map with red faces.The black arrows of the Union Army on the map are constantly advancing, while the red arrows representing the Red Army and the Lindian-Zhaodong defense system are retreating steadily!Although many high-ranking members of the Red Army, including Mao Zedong, who came to supervise the battle, had realized that the Allied Army was about to launch a counterattack, but in just one night, the entire defense line was about to collapse, which was far beyond everyone present. Everyone expected it!

Although there are signs of the Red 34th, Red 35th, and Red 36th Divisions of the Red Twelfth Army on the map.But everyone present knew it.These three divisions have already suffered heavy losses and are facing collapse under the superior force, firepower and evil gas battle of the Union Army.If the Red Twelfth Army collapses, the entire Lindian-Zhaodong battle will inevitably suffer a disastrous defeat!The main force of the Allied Army will also be liberated, with the freedom to use it, either marching westward to meet the Red Army's Western Front Corps, or simply marching southward to obtain supplies directly at the border of Liaoning and Jilin, and then attack Changchun and Jilin.The Western Front Corps of the Red Army, which is still hiding in Abagaitu in the Soviet Union, seems to have no choice but to go south as soon as possible to capture Manchuria and Hailar!

However, there is still a distance of more than 400 kilometers from Hailar to Qiqihar, and it is necessary to cross the Greater Khingan Mountains. Even if the main force on the western front travels day and night, it will take at least eight days to reach the battlefield.But can the Eastern Front Corps on the Lindian-Zhaodong line be maintained until then?Once the Eastern Front Corps collapses, the Western Front Corps will face the main force of the Trotskyites alone!

The phone in the war room was noisy, and bad news from the front kept coming.

"What? The bandit army has broken into the second trench of the 35th Army Corps... The 105th regiment of the Red 105th Division suffered heavy losses under the gas attack from the bandits? How many people are there in the [-]th regiment now? How long can they last?"

"The artillery regiment of the Twelfth Army was completely lost in the artillery battle with the bandit army? What happened? Why didn't you move the artillery position in time? Didn't you see the powerful artillery fire of the bandit army?"

"Why didn't the heavy artillery of the Red Cannon Division fire? What! The shells have been fired? The replenishment hasn't arrived yet? Good! Please rest assured, we will urge the logistics transportation as soon as possible."

"The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Military Commission of the Central Revolutionary Army ordered your department to persevere to the end. Even if you hit the last person, you must stop the enemy in front of you. You must not take a step back! This battle is directly related to the success of the revolution..."

While the staff officers of the Eastern Front Corps of the Red Army were dealing with the endless front-line battle reports, Zhou Enlai, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, and Soviet advisers Berzin and Cuikov sat around a log table covered with maps , looking at the atmosphere in the entire headquarters like a hornet's nest in a daze.For the leaders of the Red Army, they couldn't believe that the strength of four legions, twelve infantry divisions and one artillery division was actually suppressed by the bandit army, which was supposed to be a mob!In just one night, the initiative on the battlefield will almost change hands!The original two-sided attack plan is about to be completely ruined, and the Eastern Front Corps has fallen into a serious crisis!

Mao Zedong, who originally disapproved of launching an attack before Zhang Xueliang's troops were reorganized, stared at the Soviet adviser Berzin with a cold face: "Dear comrade, your combat plan seems to have encountered some minor problems. What now? What should we do? Should we let the Western Front Corps fly over for emergency treatment?"

What should we do now?To tell the truth, Comrade Berzin himself did not know.He was the chief of intelligence of the Soviet Red Army before, not the chief of operations. He had only seen and heard of wars, but he had never done it himself!In the midst of embarrassment, Cuikov's voice sounded from the side: "It's just a little accident. It is inevitable to encounter various emergencies in war. After all, the enemy is not moving according to our baton." He spread his hands and smiled nonchalantly: "Comrades, the Red Army has not been defeated, it just lost the opportunity to wipe out the bandits... We can do it again after Zhang Xueliang's four legions have completed their reorganization."

"Then what should we do now?" Zhou Enlai asked eagerly.

"Order the Western Front Corps to attack Manzhouli and Hailar, and at the same time, the Eastern Front Corps retreated to Harbin in an orderly manner." Cui Kefu unhurriedly said his way.

"But once the Eastern Front Corps retreats, the Western Front Corps will have to face the main force of the bandit army alone." Zhu De said with a dark face.

"We can let them retreat into the Soviet Union again! Don't the Trouts dare to go wild on the land of the Soviet Union?" Cuikov pointed to the Western Front Corps on the map, and said with a smile: "Our Eastern and Western Front Corps can still echo each other from a distance. , if the bandit army ignores the Western Front Corps, the Western Front Corps will be able to sweep the grasslands of Eastern Mongolia, and even approach Zhongyi Fort...there will not be too many bandit troops there. If the main force of the bandit army withdraws westward, we will The front-line corps can follow and advance, at least to recover all the territory east of the Daxingan Mountains. Even... we can also order the four corps that are being reorganized in Chahar and Rehe to stop reorganization and advance towards Mongolia together! At that time, the bandits The army will definitely be in chaos, and the only way out is to return to the Mongolian nest."

Cui Kefu responded to what Cui Kefu proposed in the former enemy headquarters of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission in Zhaodong County. Lurking in the headquarters of the Red Army's Western Front Corps on Mount Abagaitu.The situation on the Northeast battlefield has once again undergone drastic changes!

August 7 at 6am.

The Red Army West Front Corps, three legions, nine divisions, and nearly 200 troops have been lurking for two full days on the Abagaitu Mountain on the Soviet side of the Sino-Soviet border.With the support of more than [-] cannons from six artillery regiments, a surprise attack was launched against the unsuspecting Mongolian tribal armed forces and local troops belonging to the Union Army!

The firepower of the field artillery and mortars immediately hit mountains and valleys, and all the key points on the Chinese side of the Sino-Soviet border from Manzhouli to Zhalai Nuoer were all burned into a sea of ​​​​flames!The short and intense firepower made these miscellaneous soldiers scream and scream.This is not the front where the Allied Army and the Red Army are fighting, but the border between China and the Soviet Union!After China gradually became known as Chinese imperialism, these border guards began to live a relaxed and leisurely life, and they didn't care about the vigilance of the Soviet Union at all.Besides, if the Soviet Red Army were to fight over, the Trotskyist allied forces would not be able to withstand it, and the National Revolutionary Army in the south would have to step in to make it happen.

Now suddenly encountered such a violent attack!Naturally, the Soviet Union invaded in the minds of all the officers and soldiers!Uh, the Soviet Union must be defeated, and of course they should run away... The descendants of Genghis Khan are not ashamed to run away!Running if you can't win is the fighting method of the grassland people.

Even the headquarters of the Mongolian Tribal Army in the city of Manzhouli only had time to send a brief telegram of the Soviet invasion on the radio, and then hurriedly abandoned the city and fled!Three regiments of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army suddenly appeared on the Zhabeinuoer line in Manzhouli. After a burst of bombardment, one hundred thousand Red Army roared across the border and swept all the alliance strongholds from Manzhouli to Zhabeinuoer!This war between the Red Army and the Trotskyites was unexpectedly reversed!

"Zhongshuai! Zhongshuai! The Soviet Union... the Soviets are calling! The Soviet army has jumped over the border from Manzhouli to Zhalai Nuoer, and they are calling! The Mongolian detachment has just sent an urgent call and has lost contact. It is estimated that Manzhouli and Zhalai Nuoer It's all gone!"

A staff officer of the Union Army almost crawled into the headquarters and stood there with a flushed face, holding a copy of the newspaper in his hand, pointing at Wang Zhongyi and Lin Yurong, panting heavily while reporting that the just received An urgent call arrived.

With a bang, Wang Zhongyi stood up abruptly and knocked his chair down on the ground: "What! You said it was a Soviet invasion! This... this... What do these old men want? The Japanese can't beat us, how dare they fight us?" Come!?"

But Lin Yurong sat firmly, calmly: "Zhongshuai, the target of the Soviets should be Mongolia! We also have eyeliners on the eastern border, and our people are also on the Middle East Road. There is no unusual news. And see The behavior of the CCP’s Red Army in person didn’t look like they were backed by the Soviet Red Army.”

"So what? Mongolia is also ours!" Wang Zhongyi paced back and forth: "No, I have to go back to the teacher immediately to save..."

"No, I can't go back to the division!" Lin Yurong shook his head slightly: "It's too late to go back to the division now, and we will definitely not be able to defeat the Soviet Red Army! The key now is...to defeat the CCP Red Army in front of us, at least drive them into Harbin, and then We can get away."

"Let's go...then you don't want Mongolia anymore?"

Lin Yurong smiled wryly: "The Soviet Red Army is not something we can deal with. It is the Kuomintang's business. Now we must preserve ourselves first. Only by preserving ourselves can we have a future Far Eastern country!"

Chapter 0629 rebellion is justified (a) surprise attack on Magadan

The summer capital of the national government, Jiangxi, Lushan.

The door of the office was pushed open with a bang, and Natalie and Xiao Yuhan stood at the door with surprised expressions on their faces, holding a thick stack of copied newspapers in their hands.Looking at Luo Yaoguo hesitantly, the chests of both of them heaved violently.

"News from the Allied Army, the Soviet Union has invaded! They have just occupied Manzhouli and Zhalainuoer!"

"What!" Luo Yaoguo felt his eyes darken. Although he had been planning for a long time to provoke a war between China and the Soviet Union, but now... Hitler has not yet come to power, China's preparations for war have not been completed, and social reform has just started. At the beginning, even the Xinhai Railway to Xinjiang was still under intense construction.In this case, there is no chance of winning a war with the Soviet Union!He stood up tremblingly, looked straight at Natalie and Xiao Yuhan, and after a while he said loudly: "Pick up Chairman Jiang's call for me, as well as Hu Zhangong, Xu Rugong and my uncle, and tell them about the situation. "

"Supplementary text, do you want to suspend Trotsky's plan? To prevent the situation from deteriorating further..."

It was Natalie who spoke, she did not leave with Xiao Yuhan to inform the other big bosses about the Soviet invasion, but quietly walked to Luo Yaoguo, and reminded in a low voice.

At this time, Luo Yaoguo had gradually calmed down from his astonishment, and the somewhat cool expression returned to his face. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he snorted coldly: "If it gets worse, it will get worse. Who is afraid of this matter?" Ah!" As he spoke, he strode out of his office and walked towards the general staff's war room.

……

Right now, China is still in the period of the KMT’s political training. The KMT presidium meeting, commonly known as the meeting of the five big brothers, should be the highest-level meeting that decides China’s national policy.So when Hu Hanmin heard the shocking news of "Soviet invasion" on the phone, he immediately summoned Chiang Kai-shek, Xu Chongzhi, Luo Yiqun and Luo Yaoguo to his villa in Mount Lu.

The atmosphere in Hu Hanmin's office is surprisingly dignified. After receiving Hu Hanmin's call, the "big bosses" rushed over immediately.Probably the five people here have some psychological shadows about the Soviet Union. At least by looking at the map, they know that it is one of the largest countries in the world, and their steel, electricity, coal, and non-ferrous metals are much more than China. Therefore, a war with the Soviet Union is no small matter, and maybe it is really possible to lose the battle.

So the five party and state leaders just bowed their heads and drank tea there, not because they were afraid of taking responsibility, but because they really couldn't think of any ideas for a while.The timing of the invasion of the Soviet Union was really well chosen. The Kuomintang also spent a lot of money in the war against Japan. Now it is time to recuperate, and social reform has just started, and a lot of financial resources and energy have to be used internally. .

But what is more troublesome is that the civil war between the Communist Party and the Trotskyites has reached the most critical moment. According to the news from the front, Wang Zhongyi has already used mustard gas in the second Lindian-Zhaodong battle!These mustard gas shells were secretly provided to Wang Zhongyi by the national government. They were originally intended to be used in the war against the Soviet Union and Japan, but the warlord Wang unexpectedly used them in the civil war!In addition to being astonished, the five big brothers can naturally imagine that the situation of the Trotskyist armed forces must be bad, and they have even ignored the political consequences of using poison gas... But they never expected that the Soviet Union would actually send troops to the CCP at this juncture Help!

I don't know how long it took before I heard Luo Yaoguo cough lightly, breaking the silence: "Masters, the situation is urgent now, and we can no longer afford to wait and see suspiciously. We must take some urgent measures to deal with the crisis!"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked in front of the map that had just been hung on the wall, and spoke in a sonorous tone. At this time, the head of the chief of staff and the first general of the National Revolutionary Army had regained his composure and composure. The situation has also gained a deeper understanding.

"The Soviet Union's invasion this time should not be a blatant war of aggression, but a support for the CCP, which is currently at a disadvantage in the Sutuo War! However, this behavior is still a brutal violation of our country's sovereignty and is harmful to the national security of the Republic of China. Serious threat, we must respond with the most drastic response other than declaring war!"

He paused and smashed Chahar province on the map with his right hand into a fist: "I guess the main target of the Soviet invasion is Mongolia! We cannot remain indifferent to this! We must send troops into Mongolia to defend the country It’s safe, but before that...we have to enter Chahar Province first and open up the communication line to Mongolia!”

"According to intelligence and air force reconnaissance, there are currently two regiments stationed in Chahar Province, the Red Ten and the Red 11, with a total strength of about [-] troops and about two artillery regiments. Artillery. In addition, these two legions are not the elites of the CCP, but the troops of Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army system. The combat effectiveness is weak and the morale is low. Moreover, the front line of the Great Wall in Chahar Province is under our army's control, and what the Red Army occupies is only The grassland area north of the Great Wall is flat and there is no danger to defend. I suggest that the first step should be to mobilize two lightly armed divisions stationed in Beijing and Zhangjiakou to march into the Communist-controlled area of ​​​​Chahar Province in the name of resisting the Soviet Union, and to open up the same Mongolia’s line of communication! Then, depending on the situation, we will decide whether to send troops into Mongolia to reinforce the defenders of Fort Zhongyi.”

Hearing this, Hu Hanmin heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Luo Yaoguo and said firmly, "Fuwen, how sure is the Mongolian side? Also, will we have a civil war with the CCP if we win Chahar?" ? Are you considering eliminating the CCP in the Sino-Soviet war?"

Over there, when he heard the words to eliminate the CCP, Chiang Kai-shek's eyes sharpened: "The CCP's collusion with the foreign invaders has long been a source of anger and grievances. This time, it is even more frenzied to lure wolves into the house. We can't spare them no matter what we say! This opportunity for the whole people to resist the Soviet Union should be resolved once and for all..."

There was also a murderous look in Luo Yaoguo's eyes, and he secretly glanced at Luo Yiqun and Xu Ruwei, seeing that they were also nodding frequently there, he sneered and said, "I think this proposal by Mr. Jie can be considered. If we stand on the side of the invaders during the invasion, then we will naturally forgive them!"

"Should the Northeast Theater be established? Should the troops be mobilized?" Chiang Kai-shek asked again.
