In October 1937, Nalaiha, a small town on the outskirts of Kulun, the capital of Western Mongolia, turned out to be a barren mountain.There are only a few scattered buildings, a few decaying monasteries, almost out of incense, and occasionally a few bungalows, which are also the offices of the Kuzhang Railway Company. The railway from Zhangjiakou to Kulun just passes through this town. However, it did not bring many passengers and goods.It is such a desolate place. Since the beginning of the old year, large-scale construction has suddenly started here. Pieces of barracks have been planned and constructed, patches of playgrounds have been leveled out, and there is also a huge airport. It was also built at the fastest speed.The scale of these buildings is so huge, and they have the unique neat appearance of military buildings.Soldiers in yellow uniforms and thousands of migrant workers have turned this place into a lively construction site. Even at night, piles of bonfires will be lit here, and construction will be carried out on the construction site in shifts.This is the Nalaiha Base. In the plan of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, it is the headquarters of the Northern Front Army and the largest military station in Eastern and Western Mongolia.It is said that by April 10, 1938 National Defense Forces will be stationed at the Nalaiha base. From here, they will start northward, invade Siberia in the Soviet Union, and cut off the main railway artery connecting the east and west of the Soviet Union - the Siberian Railway!Therefore, this is also a base with a high level of secrecy, but for the Chinese Communist Party that rules Western Mongolia, it is still easy to find out the secrets of Nalaiha.

The intelligence elites drawn from the Special Section of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the internationalist fighters of the Oriental Bureau of the Communist International, and the internal guards of the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Communist Party of China have all entered here in various identities.Almost every incident, big or small, that happened here would be reported in various intelligence reports immediately and sent to the desks of the leaders of the CCP or the Communist International.Because of this, both the leaders of the Communist Party of China and the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Far East Front Army felt extremely reassured about the defense of Siberia, and the judgment of the time when the Chinese National Defense Forces fully attacked the Soviet Union was after April 1938.

In such a "secret base" that is almost ventilated from all sides, there is actually a place with better secrecy measures, which is the first built airport located in the west of the Nalaiha base.This is a heavily guarded area.Tall barbed wire fences were stretched all around, and military police dispatched directly by the Military Police Headquarters of the National Defense Forces were on guard.Those who do not have a special pass should not approach the airport within three kilometers.Of course, beyond this range, there are still countless pairs of eyes watching every move of the airport... This is an extremely huge airport. Comrade Li Shiqun, who is in charge of monitoring the entire Nalaiha base, thinks that this airport may be the largest in China. !There are four or five very long runways, and there are rows of neatly built hangars, warehouses, and oil depots on both sides of the runways.There are anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine gun positions all over these warehouses. Compared with the CCP's Baotou Airport, the anti-aircraft firepower here is much tighter!Moreover, Li Shiqun and his team also noticed that since the completion of this giant airport, as long as the weather conditions permit, [-] transport planes will take off every morning, and [-] transport planes will land in the evening.

It seems that the Kuomintang will use these planes to transport some goods to Nalaiha, perhaps transporting troops!But how many soldiers can be transported by twenty planes?There were 400 people who died, and only 4 people were transported for a hundred days in a row, and there were no heavy weapons, at best they were some light infantry.Let alone the Soviet Union, this kind of force will definitely not be able to defeat the CCP's defenders in Kulun!However, after this "airlift" lasted for a period of time, Li Shiqun ruled out the possibility of transporting troops, because he did not find any significant increase in the National Defense Forces in the entire Nalaiha base.It's not transporting troops, so what are you transporting?Li Shiqun couldn't figure it out, and couldn't find out, so he could only report the situation here truthfully.Gu Shunzhang, who received the report, also took the time to personally "inspect" from Baotou to Nalaiha, but he didn't see anything. Maybe the Kuomintang is just doing some kind of flight training?After that, Gu Shunzhang only asked the comrades of the Special Section and the Ministry of Social Affairs to monitor closely. As for the secret agents of the Communist International, they were not under the jurisdiction of the Central Special Section.

Just when Li Shiqun almost forgot the existence of this airport, things suddenly changed slightly. On the night of October 10th, Agent Li Da, who had just finished his dinner and was about to go to bed with his wife Ye Jiqing in his arms to increase the population of the six northern provinces, was suddenly disturbed by a hasty knock on the door.

"Manager, Manager Li!" Comrade Teke's voice came from outside the door.This "boss" is Li Shiqun. His identity here is the manager of a construction company secretly controlled by the CCP. This company has undertaken some construction projects for the Nalaiha base.

"What's the matter!" The disturbed Li Shiqun let go of Ye Jiqing, who was already naked, and shouted impatiently, "Can't we talk about it tomorrow morning?"

"Manager, it's the airport. I saw Xiao Wang's report at the airport. There is something wrong with the airport today."

Li Shiqun sat up from the bed at this time, frowned, and asked while getting dressed, "What's the matter?"

The voice outside was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "The plane that landed tonight is different from the one in the past! It used to have three propellers, but tonight it has four propellers, and it's even bigger. number one."

After hearing these words, Li Shiqun cursed secretly in his heart, turned his head to look at Shui Lingling's wife, and began to unbutton his clothes again.In his mouth, he ordered loudly: "Understood! I will report it tomorrow, and you should go to bed early. Don't let your wife always keep the empty room, maybe she will run away with someone again at some point!"

……

If Li Shiqun saw the people who got off the ten four-engine Fw-200 transport planes at this time, he would definitely not be in the mood to hug his wife and play with the artificial man again!

On the night of October 10th, at 9 o'clock.The doors of the ten transport planes that had been silent for a long time suddenly opened almost at the same time, and then the gangway was lowered.Teams of heavily armed officers and soldiers with parachutes stepped down from above.And these paratroopers are not Chinese, they are all foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes!Their military uniforms are not the standard of the Chinese National Defense Force, the German Wehrmacht, the Russian Imperial Army, or the Polish Army, but uniform grass-green uniforms with blue big-brimmed hats!Anyone who is familiar with the uniforms of the Soviet Red Army can tell at a glance that they are dressed like frightening Soviet internal affairs personnel!Uh, to be precise, every communist fighter is terrified, but those fascist bandits who are armed to the teeth are definitely not afraid...

Of course, the 500 "Soviet internal affairs personnel" who got off the ten planes were fake, and their real identity was the Russian Queen's Guards!It is an elite selected by Empress Anastasinia from hundreds of thousands of Belarusian troops in the name of recruiting the Guards. Strict training by military instructors.Not only has he mastered excellent killing skills, but he can also disguise himself as a true Soviet internal affairs officer!At least Natalie Lesinskaya, the female spy who has served Cheka for many years, is now indistinguishable.

"Comrade Major, welcome to China." Taking advantage of the moonlight, Natalie smiled at a tall and fierce-looking "Soviet internal affairs officer", gave a military salute, and said in fluent Russian.

"Are you Comrade Natalie Leshinskaya? I am Major Rosovsky, Commander of the 256th Independent Garrison of the Soviet Red Army's Internal Affairs Corps." The internal affairs officer in the major's uniform also gave a military salute , smiling and looking at Natalie. "This identity has been with me for two years, and now I have almost forgotten my original surname. By the way, where are the others? Have they all arrived safely?"

"They have all arrived safely. There are a total of 500 people who took 30 planes and have all arrived at their respective destinations." Natalie smiled and made an elegant gesture of abhorrence, "Please come with me , the dinner and lounge are ready, you guys have a good night's rest and set off early tomorrow morning."

Major Rosovsky and Natalie walked side by side to a lighted barracks.He looked back at the empty grassland around him, and frowned: "Where is this? Where will we be thrown by these planes? Can you tell me now."

"This is an airport near Kulun, Western Mongolia, China..."

"What Cullen! Isn't this the territory of the Communist Party?" Rosovsky gasped, and subconsciously pressed his right hand on the holster.

"Yes, this is the territory of the Communist Party, except for this airport!" Natalie glanced at the overreacting Russian, and said with a smile: "This airport is surrounded by spies of the Communist Party. They have been watching. But so what? Wait until October 10th, you can still take the Fw-10 transport plane from here to Krasnoyarsk in the Soviet Union. Your task is to raid and occupy this city The city, especially the airport there...and insist on it until our follow-up troops are airlifted there." She paused and said, "The formal order and action plan will be given to you later, All signed by Empress Anastasia herself!"

"General, you mean Krasnoyarsk!" Rosovsky frowned and shook his head slightly, "It's almost 2000 kilometers away from Kulun! Can this plane fly that far? , fly so far...won't you run into a Soviet fighter jet?"

"Of course there is no problem with the range of the plane." Natalie smiled lightly: "And according to our intelligence, the Soviet Air Force has no fighter jets that can catch up with the Fw-200 in the entire Siberia! They have concentrated all advanced fighter jets on the western battlefield .Because they never expected that we were about to attack! It was even more unexpected that our first capture would be Krasnoyarsk near West Siberia!"

……

Just this night, in the war room of the General Staff Headquarters in Wuhan, the capital of the Republic of China, there was already an atmosphere of an imminent war.Around the huge sand table, the top leaders of the Chinese National Defense Forces - including Chief of General Staff Luo Yaoguo, Defense Minister He Yingqin, Air Force Minister Li Shunen, Navy Minister Long Tenghui, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau Wu Ziliang and others gathered together.Lieutenant General Sun Liren, the commander of the Airborne Forces, somewhat complacently introduced to Luo Yaoguo the progress of a combat plan called "Heavenly Soldier Project".Of course he has reason to be proud. The airborne troops he formed with his own hands are now the vanguard of this "Battle to the Fall of the Soviet Union"!And this bold "Heavenly Soldier Plan" was also formulated by him alone!If this plan succeeds, the Soviet Union will be divided in two from the middle!As the planner of this plan, he is of course full of confidence in success, and he also has the belief that this world war that will destroy the Soviet Union will win!

Now the entire Tianbing plan is "placed" on the sand table, which can be said to be clear at a glance.The whole plan is divided into three parts, the most important part of which is to airdrop 500 Belarusian special forces disguised as the Soviet Internal Guard to the vicinity of Krasnoyarsk, a city in western Siberia.Use your identity as a Soviet interior agent to surprise and take the city!Afterwards, a division of the [-]st Airborne Corps of the Wehrmacht will be airlifted to Krasnoyarsk...

Located at the confluence of the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Yenisei River, Krasnoyarsk is the capital of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, and it is also a major center of the Soviet Labor Camp Administration!According to the estimates of the intelligence agencies of the Russian Empire, there are as many as dozens of labor camps throughout the Krasnoyarsk Territory, where hundreds of thousands of prisoners from all over the Soviet Union are held.Mainly the descendants and relatives of former Tsarist nobles and White Guard officers, Cossacks, Polish-Asian and German-born Soviets, these people have now replaced the Trotskyites as the mainstream of Soviet political prisoners.And the hundreds of thousands of reform-through-labour prisoners here are naturally one of the targets of this "Heavenly Soldier Project".If they can be liberated and concentrated around the city of Krasnoyarsk before the winter in Siberia comes, then by the spring of 1938, Empress Anastasia will have at least 20 troops again!

The other two parts of the "Heavenly Soldiers Project" are relatively simple. It is to airdrop 1000 Belarusian special forces disguised as Soviet internal affairs personnel to the Soviet-controlled areas in the Far East and Central Asia. Their task is to destroy the rear of the Soviet army. Transportation facilities, communication lines, material warehouses and other facilities disrupted the rear of the Soviet army and delayed the mobilization of Soviet troops.In short, this Tianbing plan is a small and big gambling plan. Once successful, it can capture the entire Eastern Siberia of the Soviet Union at the lowest cost, and besiege nearly 200 million Soviet troops in the Far Eastern Front Army and the Siberian Military Region!Then try to persuade them to surrender.Anastasia believes that once the defeat of the Soviet Army on the Western Front is determined, the "patriotism" of the Russian nation will prompt most of the soldiers of the Far Eastern Front to defect to the Romanov Dynasty in order to defend the Russian motherland...

After listening to Sun Liren's explanation of the Tianbing plan, Luo Yaoguo nodded slightly, and then looked up at the huge Soviet military map on the wall marked with countless arrow dots of various colors and various tactics.

"Has Jing Fei's (Huang Guyu) armored group set off?"

"It set off an hour ago. A total of seven armored divisions, three cavalry corps, and two motorized infantry corps. In addition, the western group commanded by Xia Xucang, the Heilongjiang group commanded by Xue Boling, and the Amur River group commanded by Wang Zhongyi are also ready. They have launched a fierce attack on the Soviet defense line in front of them." Yan Wu, head of the Operations Department of the General Staff Department, replied: "They have already basically figured out the reality of the opponent's false attack on the opposite Soviet position before, and I believe that the onslaught that started on the 11th will definitely be successful. captured."

Luo Yaoguo smiled slightly. Now the Soviet Union is already a piece of meat on the chopping block. Although it still claims to have an army of 1000 million, it is these 600 to [-] million elites who have received strict training and are well equipped.Moreover, the industrial strength of the Soviet Union in this time and space is far inferior to that in history. The Ural heavy industry base has not been built, and there is no US "Lend-Lease" to give her blood transfusion!At present, the United States recognizes the Russian Empire of Empress Anastasia, and does not recognize Stalin's Soviet Union at all.

What needs to be considered now is not whether the Soviet Union can be destroyed, but how to arrange the Russian Empire after the Soviet Union is destroyed.This country, which has inherited the name of Tsarist Russia, can neither be too strong nor too weak.A strong Russia is always a threat to China's western border, but a too weak Russia is likely to be annexed by Hitler!In this way, Germany is too strong and too close to China.

Thinking of Hitler's dislike of Slavic peoples in history, and his Nazi army's atrocities on Soviet territory (maybe it was propaganda), Luo Yaoguo felt that this mustache would definitely not let go of any opportunity to weaken the Russian Empire.After the main force of the Soviet Red Army on the western front is wiped out, they will definitely be sent to labor camps to do coolies!Moreover, it is impossible for Hitler to provide the Queen with weapons and equipment to arm her army, so the whole division's acquisition of the Soviet Far East Front Army (including weapons and equipment) is crucial to maintaining Anastasia's rule in the future.

Therefore, when formulating the battle plan against the Soviet Army in the Far East, Luo Yaoguo specifically instructed to avoid head-to-head decisive battles, avoid wars of attrition...try to defeat the enemy at the lowest cost!And he also specially stipulated that not only should reduce the loss of one's own side, but also avoid heavy casualties of the Soviet army!This "Bodhisattva-hearted" instruction is difficult for the elites in the General Staff, Yang Jie, Deputy Chief of Staff, Yan Wu, Minister of Operations, Guo Shufu, Minister of Training, Li Shunen, Minister of the Air Force, and Sun Liren, the commander of the Airborne Forces, and Na Na. Tali and the others didn't know how many hairs shed and how many brain cells died before they came up with this plan for long-distance airborne and disrupting the enemy's rear.

Chapter 0730 raid (five) you were arrested!

To the east of the beautiful Lake Baikal, the main railway artery that runs through the entire Siberia passes through Chita and is divided into two roads. One road directly passes through northeast China to Vladivostok. It is called the Middle East Road, and the other road detours along the Chinese border for three or four thousand km to Vladivostok.As the core and railway hub of the Far East, it has naturally become the headquarters of Marshal Blucher and the logistics material storage center of the entire Far East Army.

In order to ensure the safety of the Siberian artery, Chita has complete defense facilities that are comparable to the Vladivostok Fortress. The continuous trench defense zone and small fortress system can hardly insert the needles protected here, plus Baikal west of Chita With the two large fortresses of Irkutsk and Angarsk along the lake, and the Amur River defense line stretching [-] kilometers, the defense of the entire East Siberia and the Far East seems to be impenetrable.

However, this East Siberian defense system, which was considered extremely stable by all Red Army officers and known as the "Oriental Maginot", now always makes Marshal Blucher feel something is wrong.When he stood on the terrace of the fortress where the headquarters of the Front Army is located, looking at the rolling hills, wide river valleys, and endless forests around the Chita Fortress, his eyelids kept twitching, and even the report of the communications staff behind him seemed like did not hear.

Blueher's worries were not unreasonable. Although the Chita Fortress was indestructible, the Amur Line of Defense was far from being as impregnable as advertised.After all, this is a line of defense more than 2000 kilometers long, and the current Soviet Union simply does not have the financial and material resources to build every part of the line of defense as strong as the Maginot Line.It’s just that there is a complete defense system in important places, and the reinforced concrete fortresses are only like Borja in the southeast of Chita, Nerchinsk, Hailanpao on the edge of the Heilongjiang River, Belogorsk, Reichsinsk, Biro There are buildings in Bijan and other places.On most of the rest of the lot, there are only some simple trench fortifications, blast holes, barbed wire and minefields.Fortunately, in the area that can be relied on by Heilongjiang (Amur River), it is finally safe to rely on.But at the Borgia and Krasnokamensk lines at the westernmost end of the Amur defense line, we can only use continuous trenches and a Borgia fortress for defense. How much effect will it have in front of you?During this period, as soon as Blyukher closed his eyes, the scene of the Battle of Zhalainor in 1927 would appear!Back then, there were only more than 100 outdated Renault FT-17 light tanks!But now the Chinese army is said to have the world's number one armored force, and there is also a 30-ton "heavy tank"!What is even more disturbing is that there are now 35 armies (including the Baikal Military Region) whose forces are scattered on thousands of kilometers of fronts, and there is only one railway line close to the enemy's border as a channel for the army's logistics, reinforcements, and retreat.Also face enemies with powerful air superiority!

Marshal Blyuchel can fully imagine that once the Chinese army is determined to attack, the overwhelming number of planes will definitely pounce on various transportation hubs in the first place, and bombard along the railways and highways indiscriminately!My own army of nearly 200 million people might be bombed immobile, and directly "divided and surrounded" by the enemy's air force in dozens of disconnected border forts and defensive positions. It is estimated that they will not even be able to escape!Once the Siberian Railway is bombed, who can walk back to Europe on two feet?Although the report sent by the intelligence department swears that the Chinese army will not be able to complete war preparations before the spring of 1938, so the offensive cannot be launched before the spring of 38... But who stipulated that the Chinese must be fully prepared before they can come What about the offensive?Didn't the Soviet Union launch a war against Poland without being prepared?

"report!"

At this moment, Marshal Blyuchel was awakened from his own thoughts by a shout that was clearly about to break his throat. The marshal turned his head and saw Major General Antonov, the communications staff officer, holding a copy of the telegram with a suspicious expression on his face. stood there.

"What is it?" asked the marshal.

"Comrade Marshal, the 205th Independent Garrison of the Internal Guard reported that at noon on October 10, some soldiers saw about 10 large planes intruding into the airspace of the Soviet Union from the direction of China's Mongolia and flying northwest."

"What?" Blucher was taken aback, 20 large Chinese planes invaded the airspace of the Soviet Union! ?What are you doing here?bombing?But today is already the 11th, and the Front Army Command has not received any relevant reports?Blucher could not figure out what was going on.I don't know what happened... That is to say, the matter must be very serious!The marshal no longer had the heart to look at the scenery, and hurried downstairs.

But as soon as he entered the war room, he saw the chief of staff, General Lyushenkov, who ran in almost at the same time. Lyushenkov, who was always calm, turned pale and even his lips trembled.

Seeing Blyukher, the Chief of Staff Liushenkov seemed to have seen the backbone, and he said loudly: "Comrade Marshal! The headquarters of the 21st Army in Borgia called urgently! Two Chinese comrades crossed the border early this morning. They reported It is said that Chulunhaoraote has been occupied by the Chinese White Army cavalry! The Chinese Red Army (referring to the border guards) there...they were ordered to retreat westward! They did not fight the Chinese White Army!"

"What!" Blucher yelled, almost not being overwhelmed!The area south of Borja and bordering China's Eastern Mongolia Province is a large grassland!And because that area is adjacent to the "friendly army" of the Soviet Union, the CCP, the fortifications there are not strong.There are only a few ordinary infantry trenches, minefields and barbed wire, no anti-tank trenches.And the defenders deployed are just a division!But now the Chulunhaoraote area in Mongolia, which is opposite, has suddenly become the Kuomintang's world. Does that mean that they are about to attack?Moreover, the CCP withdrew without exchanging fire with the Kuomintang, and did not notify the Soviet Union...

"Betrayal! Betrayal!" Blucher cursed a few words, then loosened the button on his neck to make breathing easier, but he didn't pay attention to this inconspicuous movement, which made the atmosphere in the entire war room even more serious. I became nervous, and everyone was thinking: "Is the Chinese White Army's offensive going to start soon? Have the overwhelming bombers already taken off?"

……

At this time, Wuhan time, China, October 1937, 10, 11:6 am.

Hailaer Airport is already crowded with people. On the eight long airstrips, various types of fighter jets, bombers, and dive bombers are already in place. Various types of aerial bombs, such as kilograms, 20 kilograms and 50 kilograms, trotted all the way to the belly of the aircraft, and then pressed them into place one by one, and finally installed the fuze.

This is a division-level airport of the Air Force of the Chinese National Defense Army. The third aviation division commanded by Lieutenant General Ye Qiu is stationed here. It has a combat aviation regiment equipped with BF-109 and a bomber regiment equipped with A-4a Thunderhawk dive bombers. Aviation regiment, there is also a bomber aviation regiment equipped with He-111, in addition, there is an escort group equipped with F-3a, and three reconnaissance aircraft groups equipped with F-3d combat reconnaissance aircraft, with a total of various types of aircraft About 500 frames!

Since the reconnaissance plane of the Air Force has not seen the Soviet counterparts for many days, and intelligence shows that all the air forces in the Soviet Far East have been transferred to the western battlefield to participate in the war.So all the 450 aircraft on the mission today, whether it is BF-109 or F-3a, are all hung with 20 kg and 50 kg light bombs, and carry out bombing missions together.In fact, with the performance of the BF-1200 equipped with a 109-horsepower in-line engine, it is enough to deal with the I-16 of the Soviet Air Force even with bombs attached!Similarly, the Thunderhawk dive bomber that dropped the bomb can also compete with the I-15 and I-16!Now the aircraft performance of the Chinese and German Air Forces is almost eight to ten years ahead of the Soviet Union, and they are not rivals at the same level at all.

Seeing so many advanced aircraft, Liu Yongyao, who had no qualifications to participate in the war, had paid homage to the lieutenant general long ago, so he had to honestly come to see the pilots off.

Seeing Ye Qiu, a junior from Huangpu who was a few years younger than himself, Liu Yongyao looked envious and asked, "Yifeng, what plane are you flying today?"

"Report to the military seat, the Ministry will fly a BF-109 fighter jet to participate in the battle today."

"Oh, BF-109, and there are no Soviet fighter jets to fight for you, so it's still very lonely." Liu Yongyao sighed, "Sun Yang was lucky enough to be sent to Europe. It must be a lot of fun!"
