Republic of China game

After all, he is not a core figure in the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, so he does not have to be responsible for the so-called "Right Opportunism" and "Right Capitulationism"... In fact, Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong are not afraid of the Communist International's accusations.The Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was created by the two of them in this time and space!With military power in hand, the Communist International has nothing to do with them. Qu Qiubai is probably the one who is unlucky this time. Who made him have no army?

"Review?" Zhou Enlai took a deep breath.He picked up the telegram sent by the Communist International and flicked it lightly, then threw it into a corner in a contemptuous ball.Liu Shaoqi, who was on the side, was stunned and raised his head in surprise: "Enlai!"

Unhurriedly, Zhou Enlai took out another confidential telegram from the Communist International from his pocket, spread it out on the desk, and said coldly: "These Russians don't even look at who is begging for help now! They want our help." They are guarding the border, preventing Japanese spies from entering to destroy the railway, and they want us to conduct a review, which is really ridiculous. Comrade Shaoqi, you should send a telegram to... the Red Army, ordering them to strictly control the Sino-Soviet border and not allow anyone Crossing the border into the Soviet Union!"

"Oh." Liu Shaoqi sighed softly, picked up a pen and wrote Zhou Enlai's dictated words into a telegram, and then hurried out, leaving Zhou Enlai sitting there alone in a daze.

This time Stalin actually entrusted the Chinese Red Army with the task of blocking the border near the Greater Khingan Mountains and the Lesser Khingan Mountains... and mainly relied on the Second Route Army of the Third Front Army of the Red Army!The true identity of this so-called "Red Army" was clear to Zhou Enlai.He looked at the back of Liu Shaoqi going away, and he felt a little gloating in his heart. He really wanted to see what expression Stalin would have when he knew that the Siberian Railway was destroyed.

……

It is also rare for Wan Yanhao to put on a military uniform today. The straight woolen military uniform is paired with a shiny colonel rank, and an indescribable pride is on his face!Naturally, after this Manzhouli victory, there will be a lot of people who will be promoted. The first one is Luo Yaoguo, who has already set the rank of marshal.Chiang Kai-shek, Xu Chongzhi, Luo Yaoguo, and Sa Zhenbing had already been appointed as the first batch of marshals. Most of the officers of the No.18 Division who participated in the battle were promoted. Even Wan Yanhao, who did not go to the battlefield but only engaged in intelligence in the back, was also promoted. He was promoted to colonel at a young age, which is one step away from the rank of general. .

"Fu Gong, what do you think we should do about this matter?" The beaming Wan Yanhao held in his hand the urgent telegram from Wang Zhongyi from Daxing'an Mountains.It informed the Soviet Union of orders to seal the border tightly and not allow anyone to enter or exit.

Luo Yaoguo's eyes flashed, and he said with a sneer: "It seems that the Soviet Union had to hand over a large section of the border to the Chinese Red Army to look after it due to lack of troops. But... after all, the Chinese Red Army is not as formal as the Soviet Red Army. If it’s not strict, it’s inevitable that there will be a traitor, right? Besides, the border of the Daxing’anling area is more than 1000 kilometers long, so it’s quite normal for a Japanese special agent to sneak over, Wen Qiang, don’t you think so?”

Wan Yanhao hastily responded: "What Fu Gong said is that I just remembered that I have an appointment with Kenji Doihara for lunch today, so I will leave first, please forgive me."

Chapter 0333 Japanese-Soviet War (nine) emergency!

It was a sunny spring day on May [-], [-] AD.The first ray of dawn in the morning dispelled the mist that filled Peter the Great Bay, and the cliffs on Russo Island seemed to be viewing platforms, reviewing the main force of the Japanese United Fleet that was slowly approaching!Standing at the observation post on the top of the mountain, use a high-powered telescope to look at it from a distance.At the end of the sea level, a huge fleet that seems to be out of bounds looms in front of you!

"Alarm! Alert! The Japanese fleet is found! The Japanese fleet is found!" The terrified roar of the Soviet Red Army sentry broke the tranquility on Russo Island, and after a while, the sirens sounded one after another.The Soviet officers and soldiers stationed at the ninth, tenth, No.11, and No.12 fortresses on Russo Island put down the trivial matters at hand one after another, and ran to their respective combat posts in a panic.Almost everyone had a little despair and helplessness on their faces.

Perhaps only the officers and soldiers of the Soviet Red Army who worked and fought in the Vladivostok Fortress truly understood the real situation of this legendary first fortress in the Far East.This fortress is far from being as strong as the Soviet propaganda machine said, and indeed it has the strongest defense in the world.For example, the four fortresses on Russky Island, the southernmost tip of Vladivostok, were built after 1910 and barely completed until the October Revolution in 1917.According to the design plan, these four fortresses had the best defense in the world at that time, and could withstand 420mm caliber shells!You must know that the largest naval gun in the world is only 410mm. Only the two Nagato-class ships of the Japanese Combined Fleet, the two Nelson-class ships of the United Kingdom, and the three Colorado-class ships of the United States have such huge main guns.So in theory, there is no naval gun capable of destroying these four fortresses in this world.This is also the source of confidence of the Soviet Red Army and Stalin.

But the cannons used to arm these strongest fortresses in the world... were demolished long ago when the Japanese army withdrew from Vladivostok in 1922!It turned out that after the Russian Revolution, the Allied Powers organized several intervention armies, one of which was an intervention by the Japanese army in Siberia.At that time, the Intervention Army landed in Vladivostok and controlled the city until it was evacuated in October 1922.Before evacuating, the Japanese swept away all ships that could be used in the coastal area of ​​​​the Soviet Far East, destroyed the cannons and some facilities inside the Vladivostok Fortress, and basically turned it into an empty turtle shell!The Soviet government’s takeover was such an empty tortoise shell, and in the following four years, the Bolsheviks, who were busy restoring the economy, suppressing counter-revolutionaries, and saving the world, did not have the extra financial resources and energy to restore this first fortress in the Far East.It was not until the incident on the Middle East Road a few months ago that the Soviet Union hastily removed some outdated antique cannons and 10mm cannons from other fortresses in the west, and placed them in each fortress, so that Vladivostok once again has such a A little firepower for self-defense... It's just that these 152mm and 19mm coastal defense guns cast at the end of the 280th century can't hit the Japanese battleships cruising far away in Peter the Great Bay, but use 254mm cannons to hit the thick battleships The armor steel is really...

Seven thirty in the morning.From the observation post at the highest point of Russky Island, the Japanese fleet on the sea seems to be busy forming an artillery formation.Eight particularly huge battleships slowly sailed out of the formation, forming two columns.The leaders should be two of the legendary world's seven warships, the Nagato and the Mutsu; followed by the two Ise-class battleships, the Ise and the Hyuga; There are two Fuso-class battleships, Fuso and Yamashiro; following behind are the two Kongo-class battlecruisers, Kongo and Hiei.These eight battleships and battlecruisers are the capital ships of the combined Japanese fleet. The other two battlecruisers Haruna and Kirishima are currently undergoing modernization.

At this time, in the command tower of the battleship Nagato, the well-dressed Japanese Navy Admiral Kanji Kato was also observing the opposite fortress with a telescope.According to the information sent back by the spies lurking in the fortress of Vladivostok, the Soviet Union now has no giant cannons that can threaten these precious warships of the United Fleet. Russky Island, basically there will be no losses in this battle.If it weren't for this, how could the always petty Japanese be willing to use expensive battleships to knock on the door of the first fortress in the Far East?

Putting down the binoculars, Commander Kato glanced at Captain Kiyoshi Hasegawa, the captain of the Nagato beside him, and smiled slightly: "The next step is to see whether our performance is successful or not."

The artillery formation will bombard the fortress on Russo Island from ten kilometers away. At [-]:[-] in the morning, the artillery formation arrived at the designated position a little earlier than the scheduled time.At this time, the harsh battle alarm sounded on the eight huge battleships at the same time, the officers shouted one after another, and the gunners were gearing up one by one. Huge armor-piercing shells were sent into the gun chambers, and the turrets also began to rotate. Aim at the fortress group on Russo Island.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." The 410mm main gun of the Nagato battleship roared.The Great War known as the Second Russo-Japanese War entered a state of intense heat from the very beginning. The 2700-pound armor-piercing projectile rushed towards the ninth fortress ten kilometers away.At this distance, a 410mm caliber armor-piercing projectile is enough to penetrate a 23-inch steel plate!

Yegorov, who was watching the battle in the Russian fortress on the distant Russian mountains, suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.He was indeed a talented commander, especially good at using cavalry. His military genius was fully utilized in the Soviet-Russian Civil War, which also gave him his current status.In history, he will also become one of the five marshals of the Soviet Union and lead the Soviet military reform.But right now the battle between him and Kanji Kato is not a competition of geniuses, but based on precise measurement and calculation!He was a war artist, and today he is comparing war techniques!According to precise calculations, Yegorov's antique artillery could not damage Kato's precious battleship at a distance of ten kilometers, but the armor-piercing projectiles fired by the main gun of Nagato could penetrate the fortress defense on Russo Island! The penetration of the 1909mm caliber shells when these fortresses were designed in 420 could not be compared with the 1927mm caliber armor-piercing shells in 410!

……

The sound of artillery in Vladivostok always affected the nerves of Stalin in Moscow.This fortress of the Russian Empire ruling the East is also a strategic location that cannot be lost.When the news of the discovery of the Japanese fleet off the coast of Vladivostok reached the Kremlin, Stalin immediately summoned Voroshilov, Budyonny, Tukhachevsky and other leaders of the Red Army of workers and peasants to his office overnight to discuss the development of the Far East. The latest battle situation.

"Comrade Stalin, the current actions of the Japanese army are basically within our expectations. The Vladivostok fortress should be their first choice, and the current shelling is to prepare for a large-scale landing battle." Chairman Fu of the Revolutionary Military Council Roshilov is now confident, and he pointed at Vladivostok on the map with his baton:

"The Far Eastern Front has concentrated four infantry divisions and a fortress garrison here, with a total strength of 5! It accounts for half of the total strength of the Far Eastern Red Army. Moreover, Vladivostok also has the strongest fortress in the world. Even if the main fortifications of the fortress were pierced by Japanese naval guns, the troops hiding in the underground shelters would still be safe and sound. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese army to capture the fortress! You can rest assured on this point."

Stalin picked up his pipe, took a puff of the cigarette, and asked with a frown: "What about Sakhalin Island? How many troops have we sent to the North Island of Sakhalin now? How many supplies have been transported up? Can support the island's How long will the troops fight? There is the real key to this war. As long as we can hold Sakhalin, the Japanese will soon be unable to hold on."

"Originally there was a division on Sakhalin Island...the hoarded materials can be used for them to fight for more than three months. Now we have transferred two divisions from the Siberian Railway, and now they have been transferred to Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk) power), supplies are also concentrated there. However, there is still a thousand kilometers of waterway from Khabarovsk to Sakhalin... Our current transportation capacity is insufficient, and we have already used the limit, and it will take at least a week to get it The other division will be sent to Sakhalin, and the two divisions will take at least fifteen days..."

Voroshilov's voice grew softer, until at last it was almost inaudible.It will take fifteen days to send the two divisions to Sakhalin Island. This time is already the limit for the troops, but it is still too slow for Stalin!

Stalin just looked at Voroshilov quietly, with a faint dissatisfaction in his expression.This Voroshilov seemed to be getting more and more careless in his work.It took fifteen days for the troops to reinforce Sakhalin to arrive!It's really ridiculous. Even if Sakhalin is not captured by the Japanese devils for such a long time, the Strait of Tartar will definitely be blocked... By then, won't this island be a turtle in the urn?

Stared by Stalin's eyes, Voroshilov's brain became flexible in an instant. Countless plans were quickly formed in his head, and they were quickly rejected one by one, until the last one that was not a solution was proposed by him. He came out: "Comrade Stalin, now only the last option is possible... the troops will be in place within seven days. There is a simple road from Khabarovsk to the Soviet Port, and it is necessary to cross the Sikhote Mountains, but the traffic capacity is limited. We The infantry can walk to the Soviet port, which is about [-] kilometers away. If they march quickly for four days, they will definitely be able to get there, and then let them cross the Strait of Tartar in batches by ferry. The heavy weapons and supplies are transported to Sasha through the Amur River. Harlem Island. In seven days, you can..."

"Very well, let's do it like this." Stalin nodded his head without waiting for Voroshilov to finish speaking, and passed the troop transport plan that he regretted for a long time later.

……

In Luo Yaoguo's study in Songbei Daying, Luo Yaoguo and Zhou Enlai were drinking tea and chatting again, just the two of them.Early in the morning, news of the fierce battle in Vladivostok came, and Zhou Enlai found Luo Yaoguo by inquiring about the battle report.

"Did Stalin refuse?"

As soon as he saw Zhou Enlai's thick eyebrows furrowed tightly, Luo Yaoguo guessed the reason of the matter.Sure enough, Stalin planned to carve up China with Japan. Fortunately, this time he provoked the war between Japan and the Soviet Union, which bought the country a few more years of respite.Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Luo Yaoguo's face:

"Brother Enlai, you don't have to be sad. It's normal for Stalin to have such thoughts. After all, he is the leader of the Soviet Union, so he naturally has to consider the interests of the Soviet Union...Internationalism is just a trick."

Zhou Enlai smiled deeply: "I am not sad for Stalin, but I am worried about the future and destiny of the Northeast. Now Japan is eyeing the Northeast, and the Soviet Union... refuses to help us. The Fengjun is too weak. Brother Fuwen doesn't have it. Any idea?"

Luo Yaoguo picked up the teacup, drank a sip of tea, pondered what the other party said for a while, and thought, "It seems that the Communist Party still has no intention of giving up on the Northeast! Well, in the future, only the Communist Party will be able to gain a foothold in the Northeast. At least the Soviet Union will not To deal with them openly, Stalin still wants the appearance of decency."

"Brother Enlai, to be honest, our KMT is powerless to do anything about the Northeast. The Northeast is sandwiched between the red and white imperialisms. We are also hated by these two countries. It will definitely fail because of the flanking attack of the Soviet Union and Japan... If the Northeast is lost in the hands of our party, our party will fall into a situation of losing national righteousness, and I am afraid that the whole country will unanimously oppose us."

Zhou Enlai let out a sigh of relief, and began to calculate nervously in his heart.He has long noticed that the Kuomintang's behavior is characterized by prudence, and he would rather let go of some seemingly good opportunities than take more risks.For example, this Middle East Road War was originally an excellent opportunity for the Kuomintang to complete the great cause of the Northern Expedition, but they chose to support Fengjun in order not to lose their so-called righteousness.Moreover, after Zhalai Nuoer won the victory that shocked the world, it only reintegrated the leftist forces of the Kuomintang in Henan, and did not seek to seize the territory directly under the Feng Clan... and the Northeast, the Kuomintang was even more cautious, for fear of offending the Soviet Union and Japan's bottom line.What is even more unimaginable is that they are actually afraid that the Northeast will be lost in their own hands and bear the stigma, so they are willing to give up the Northeast to the CCP!

The room fell into silence. After Zhou Enlai figured out the KMT's cards, he suddenly felt that although these guys are a little timid now...but no one else can say anything.

"Brother Enlai." Luo Yaoguo looked at Zhou Enlai solemnly: "Now we can almost be sure that the Soviet Union and Japan do have a tacit agreement to carve up China, and may even have started negotiations. It is only because of the assassination of the Sakurada Gate that we are temporarily caught in a Went in the war... This war did give China a chance to breathe. But it was just a breather. I guess after this war is over, Japan and the Soviet Union will still work together to deal with China! They have common interests now, so they won't be hostile for a long time because of a little discomfort."

"...I estimate that the partition plan between the Soviet Union and Japan should be that the Soviet Union would occupy Outer Mongolia, Xinjiang, and possibly Tibet, and Qinghai. Japan would occupy the entire Northeast, while in other places in China...the Japanese and the Soviet Union would definitely provoke our two parties to interact with each other. Fight against each other to weaken China's power. Now that the two chess players have a tacit understanding, don't we chess pieces have to communicate with each other? After all, this China is ours... If we lose everyone Life will not be easy, will it?"

After Zhou Enlai was silent for a while, he still nodded silently: "Brother Fuwen, it is inconvenient for me to say some things. Since you have pierced this layer of window paper, you might as well tell me your method... Let me see See if it's possible."

Luo Yaoguo smiled: "Brother Enlai, then I'll just say it straight. Our domestic affairs are nothing more than the division of territory. Only with territory can we have money and an army. Our party won the south of the Yellow River, plus Guanzhong Hanzhong. The north of the Yellow River in North China In the northwest, Shanbei, Suiyuan, and Northeast are all developed for your party, and Gansu, Xinjiang, and Qinghai in the northwest are used as bases for the Youth Party... In the future, we will form a coalition government among the three parties to manage the affairs of the central government. What do you think? Sample?"

……

bang...

There was a loud bang.The NO.12 fortress of Vladivostok (Vladivostok) was finally hit by a 410mm caliber armor-piercing projectile!The giant artillery shell weighing more than 12 tons instantly penetrated the fortress defense system of more than 12 meters made of cement, sand, stone and steel, and then a center bloomed inside the No. [-] fortress.After a series of dull bangs, the entire No. [-] fortress collapsed from the inside, leaving only a pile of huge ruins of reinforced concrete.

"Damn..."

Yegorov, who was standing in the observation post of Russian Fort, was holding the binoculars tightly in his hand, his face was pale.He never thought that the No. 420 fortress, which claimed to be able to withstand 12mm shells, was actually smashed into pieces by Nagato's 410mm main gun with armor-piercing shells!

此时的日本炮击编队已经冒险驶到了距离俄罗斯岛不到一万码的距离之内，在这个距离上战列舰的巨炮就好像是雷神的巨锤一般，穿甲弹的巨大穿透力可以把俄罗斯岛是堡垒、工事还有海岸炮台像鸡蛋壳一样轻轻敲碎！虽然当年设计要塞的沙俄工程专家们将要塞的防御标准定在了可以承受420mm炮弹。可是当年的巨炮哪儿能和现在45倍到50倍口径的舰炮相比？当年哪儿有那么厉害的穿甲弹？而且……当年谁也没想到这个要塞居然成了个挨打的乌龟壳啊！如果现在要塞里面还安装着356mm口径的巨型要塞炮，日本军舰说什么也不会靠那么近的。而现在英雄的苏联红军却只能用1904年式的152mm加农炮来反击这些浑身上下都包裹着厚厚装甲的日本战列舰！其它的古董大炮眼下还够不着日本战舰。

Chapter 0334 The Japanese-Soviet War ([-]) Night Raid

Hiroshima, Japan, Vladivostok Expeditionary Army Command.

The photos of the Vladivostok Fortress after the artillery battle taken by the seaplane have been sent to Nobuyoshi Muto's desk.On the photo above, the entire fortress area in the south of Russky Island has become a ruin, and there are shockingly huge bomb craters everywhere.That was the damage caused by the bombardment of the battleship's main guns.As an army officer, seeing such a scene, Muto couldn't help feeling a little shivering down his spine... The fortress, which is known as the strongest in the world, became like this after being bombarded by the main guns of eight battleships at close range for a few hours !I really don't know what weapon in this world can defeat a behemoth like a battleship?

"...Your Excellency, Commander, just received information that the infantry of the two Soviet Red Army infantry divisions assembled by Khabarovsk marched eastward in a hurry without cannons and luggage."

Major General Toshiichi Terauchi, chief of staff of the dispatched army, hurried into Nobuyoshi Muto's office without even knocking on the door.Before the person stood still, he was yelling and waving a copy of the telegram, his face full of unspeakable excitement.

"Without cannons and supplies... Marching eastward in a hurry? These Soviets are going..." Nobuyoshi Muto seemed to realize something suddenly, hurriedly took out a military map from the drawer, searched for it for a while, and then stretched out his finger , pointing to a small port named Soviet Port, laughed and said:

"They are going to the Soviet port, and then take a boat to Huatai Island (Sakhalin Island). It is really good news! Please sit down and talk about your thoughts."

At this moment, Terauchi Shouichi remembered his rudeness, hurriedly saluted Muto Nobuyoshi, then pulled a chair and sat opposite Muto.

"Your Excellency, Commander." Si Nei picked up the red and blue pencils inserted in the pen holder, drew the position of the Navy's Second Fleet that was heading north on the military map, and said with a smile:
