Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Chapter 421 Alexander's Struggle

Originally, Alexander would have died slowly while waiting for revenge, just like most people in Labor Camp No. 12, exhausted to death by heavy work, or died of illness, and then thrown into a pit by the guards and buried hastily.

But half a month ago, Zhang Dabiao led his men into Labor Camp No. 12.

Alexander knew that this group of people who claimed to be the Freedom Army were not Russians, and were most likely Chinese.

And through the clues he got during this period, Alexander knew that this group of people wanted to use them to disrupt Siberia.

Although he didn't know what the final purpose of this group of people was, Alexander still chose to cooperate with them. He just wanted revenge, revenge for his father, mother and family.

As a descendant of Mikhail, Alexander was relatively prestigious among the political prisoners purged by Stalin.

Moreover, he had good abilities and had been studying at the Russian Army Academy before being arrested. If it weren't for the Great Purge, he would have been able to join the military after graduation.

In just over ten days, Alexander gathered together the scattered prisoners.

Whether they were prisoners of De San and the devils, former political prisoners, or some criminals, they all obeyed his orders now.

Zhang Dabiao reported the situation to Li Yunlong. After Li Yunlong learned the news, he discussed it with the chief of staff and others, and decided to let Zhang Dabiao fully support Alexander.

Li Yunlong's original plan was just to create chaos in Siberia, so that the Japanese would see an opportunity, and then take advantage of the situation to fight a bloody battle with the Soviets in Siberia. It would be best if he could defeat the Soviets and let himself reap the benefits.

In this way, after the Japanese are defeated, they can control part of the Greater Khingan Range area, and at the same time block the way for the Russians to move south into the four northeastern provinces.

But with the emergence of a talent like Alexander, Li Yunlong decided to take advantage of it.

Alexander's special identity has a certain appeal. If he can create a descendant of Nicholas II, the combination of the two may cause a big stir in Siberia.

It is even possible to sign a treaty with Alexander, asking him to represent the Russian bear and return some of the land that the Russian bear has annexed.

The Russian bear used this method to seize a lot of land from China, such as Outer Mongolia and many areas of Beijiang.

It doesn’t matter if Russia doesn’t admit it at that time, as long as there is a dispute.

Moreover, Siberia is vast and sparsely populated. If Alexander is determined to fight guerrilla warfare in Siberia, it will cause the Russian Bear headaches for many years.

As for Li Yunlong’s bold move, will it lead to the defeat of the Russian bear?

Now Li Yunlong even hopes that the Soviet Union will lose the Battle of Stalingrad, making the situation of the entire European war even worse.

As for a German victory or a Japanese victory, such a thing is even less likely to happen.

Whether it was the German Third Reich or the Japanese, they had basically reached the end of their road, and the fate of the US military was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Even if the US military does not intervene, as long as it stops selling funds and some materials to these countries, these two countries will not be able to survive.

You must know that on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War, although the US military supported us and provided us with a lot of assistance, the Japanese's imports of oil, steel, and rubber were almost all dependent on the US military. If it were not for the US military's continuous supply of supplies, the Japanese would not have survived until 1941.

When Germany was rebuilt after World War I, the funds were all provided by the Americans, and much of the technology was later transferred to them by the Americans. Even after the war with France and England, the Americans still sold a lot of materials to Germany through other channels. It was not until the Americans personally intervened that trade was cut off.

During World War II, the United States made a fortune by selling resources and weapons in the early stages. In the end, after squeezing out all the countries that might threaten it, such as Russia, Germany, England, and the Japanese, it ended up acting as the savior.

It can be said that if the US military had not supported and fanned the flames behind the scenes, the scale of World War II would have been much smaller.

So as long as the Americans take action, Germany will have no chance of winning, and the Russian bear will not collapse.

Li Yunlong hoped that the Soviet Union would lose Stalingrad, hoping to bleed both the Americans and the Soviet Union, so that the US military would suffer greater losses when it opened up a second front.

After all, it is not a good thing for the Russian Bear to be too weak after the war. We cannot allow the United States to dominate the world completely.

What Li Yunlong values ​​most is that the importance of East and West Siberia to the Russian Bear is almost zero, so he has no psychological burden when making trouble in East and West Siberia.

If it is the Western Siberia and Central Siberia regions, Li Yunlong has a lot to consider.

"Report, Commander Alexander, the commander has ordered the attack!"

A messenger came to Alexander and issued a combat mission.

Hearing this, Alexander quickly came to the front of the soldiers lying in ambush behind him and said, "Comrades, there are more than 3,000 people like us imprisoned in the labor camps ahead. They were sent to the Far East by Stalin and suffered inhumane torture. They need us to save them!"

"Everyone follow me, break into Labor Camp No. 19 and save people!"

"Rescue!"

"Rescue!"

"Ula!"

"Ula!"

"Onboard!"

"Hi!"

……

Soldiers speaking with different accents picked up their weapons and launched a charge towards the 19th Labor Camp not far away.

The soldier in charge of lookout at Labor Camp No. 19 soon noticed the movement around him and quickly picked up the telescope to observe.

Suddenly, a group of people wearing various military uniforms rushed out from the forest not far away, shouting slogans and rushing towards the No. 12 Labor Camp.

"Beep!"

"Beep!"

The Russian soldier blew the whistle with all his might, raised his gun and aimed at the crowd not far away.

But at this time.

"boom!"

An explosion was heard, and a rocket hit the watchtower directly, turning the soldiers on the watchtower into a ball of fire.

But the huge explosion also attracted the attention of the defenders in the labor camp.

"Someone attacked the labor camp!"

"Report to your superiors immediately!"

"The phone, the phone can't be reached, the line is disconnected!"

"Then send a telegram!"

The group of Russian defenders became flustered. Since the establishment of Labor Camp No. 19, although some people had escaped, it had never been attacked by the enemy, and the number of enemies was not small.

"The rest of you, get into position immediately and prepare for battle!"

"Battalion Commander, the positions here are all facing the interior of the labor camp, not the outside!"

"Then hold on to the gate and the wall, and delay as long as you can."

As the camp commander finished speaking, another dull explosion was heard.

A shell blew a huge hole in the wooden wall of the labor camp.

"kill!"

"Ula!"

"Onboard!"

"Hi!"

Alexander led a group of soldiers into the labor camp.

"Friends of the labor camp, we are from Labor Camp No. 12. Take up your weapons and kill these guards who are torturing you. You will be free!"

Alexander charged forward while shouting slogans, and the criminals from Labor Camp No. 19 also joined Alexander's team.

Chapter 422: The Ambition of the Kwantung Army

"Report, urgent telegram from Jiamusi."

"An urgent call from Jiamusi?"

Mei Jing Meijiro had just finished meeting with the Russian special envoy and was about to report the negotiations with the special envoy to the headquarters when a staff officer hurried into the office.

The confrontation between the Russians and the Japanese in the Far East has lasted for a month, and both sides have been exercising restraint.

The Japanese did not take the first step, and the Russians did not open fire first. Neither side fired the first shot, and both were afraid of each other.

The Russians are wary of Germany's three fronts. After all, if a war breaks out on three fronts, even though the bearded man says it easily, if a war really breaks out, the Russians will definitely be under tremendous pressure.

Moreover, the Americans also stood up and believed that now was not the time to start a war on three fronts, and let Russia concentrate on solving the problems on the European continent before solving the problems in the Far East.

The Japanese were frightened by the strength of the US military.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese invaders' progress in Southeast Asia could be described as rapid. By the beginning of 1942, they had occupied most of Southeast Asia.

At the same time, the Japanese also began to advance towards Australia and had occupied islands such as Rabaul. The next target was the Australian mainland.

But just when everything was going in a good direction, the Japanese received a telegram from intelligence officers lurking in the United States.

America's shipyards and military factories have been working overtime to produce weapons and equipment. Warships are being launched like dumplings. Some of the warships sunk in Pearl Harbor have been salvaged and are being repaired.

According to the prediction of the Japanese intelligence department, the US Pacific Fleet would be able to restore its combat effectiveness around June 1942, and its naval strength would surpass that of the Japanese navy in June 6.

Therefore, the Japanese now want to plan another large-scale naval battle, preparing to annihilate all of the current main forces of the US military before the US fleet is repaired, delaying the time for the US Pacific Fleet to reorganize, and buying time for the Japanese to consolidate the occupied areas.

The location of the battle planned by the Japanese has been selected near Midway Island.

Therefore, the Japanese headquarters did not want any other problems to arise before the Battle of Midway was over. All resources had to cooperate with the navy. They repeatedly warned the Kwantung Army not to act without authorization and even sent a Japanese prince to the Kwantung Army to supervise the battle.

Therefore, during this period, although some low-level Japanese officers wanted to rebel and launch attacks, they were all suppressed.

Although both sides experienced situations such as missing soldiers or accidental firing of guns, due to mutual restraint, neither side escalated into a full-scale war.

This once again shows that when a country has strong military power, let alone the enemy's soldiers disappearing around its doorstep, even if an F-35 is shot down, it has to wipe away its tears silently and dare not say a word. It also has to punish a series of relevant personnel and let the neighbors calm down, otherwise who knows what will happen next time.

After more than a month of confrontation, both the Russians and the Japanese found that the other side was a little hesitant and did not dare to fight, so both sides began to try to negotiate.

However, De San did not want the Japanese to negotiate with the Russians. Recently, he had been stirring up trouble in Xinjing and around Mudanjiang, such as assassinating some important figures of the Kwantung Army in Xinjing and leaving behind some of the Russians' belongings.

The bandits they were asked to surrender near Mudanjiang disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers and attacked the Russian troops.

However, these methods were useless and were quickly discovered by both sides, but the Japanese did not point it out.

"First Army Commander Yamashita Fengwu met with several Imperial soldiers from Siberia today, as well as several people who called themselves the Mao Xiong Freedom Army."

After being transferred from the 4th Division, Yamashita Tomotake was promoted to commander of the 1st Army of the Kwantung Army.

The First Army was originally preparing to go to the Malay region in Southeast Asia, but because the Japanese and the Soviets were confronting each other in the Far East, the First Army stopped its mobilization and stayed near Jiamusi to confront the Soviets.
