Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Zhukov knew the bearded man's character, so he didn't need to say too much. He just needed to make suggestions. Whether the suggestions were adopted or not was entirely up to the bearded man himself.

"Bring his information here."

"Yes!"

After reading Gastilovich's information, Big Beard frowned. He had been investigated during the Great Purge and there was nothing wrong with him, but he had been treated unfairly. Big Beard was not very confident in working with such a person.

But in the end, he picked up the document and said, "Let him take charge of Chita. Let him be the commander of the Far East garrison and be responsible for the situation in the Far East!"

"Yes!"

I'm at the place now. I took a day off today, so I'll make up for it! ~Please give me some free gifts, thank you! ~

Chapter 438 Refutation of the Anti-Japanese United Army

"General Li Yunlong, now is the best time for us to send troops to the four eastern provinces. If we send troops to the four eastern provinces now, we can not only recapture them, but also indirectly support the Russian bear and help it retake the Far East. We can also..."

In the Arshan Fortress, Li Yunlong listened to the words of the group of people in front of him with an expressionless face.

"Yes, General Li Yunlong, once the Japanese obtain supplies from the Far East, their strength will increase significantly, and it will be even more difficult for us to defeat them."

"General Li Yunlong, send troops! If you don't send troops now, you won't have another chance later!"

"Once we cross the Greater Khingan Range, we can directly attack Heilongjiang, cut off the enemy's logistical supply routes, and then join forces with the Russian army to launch a counterattack, and then..."

A group of people who had returned from the Anti-Japanese United Army pointed at the map and kept giving advice. Li Yunlong watched them talk quietly.

Angry? Li Yunlong was not very angry. After all, the Anti-Japanese United Army had always been supported by the Russians, so the Anti-Japanese United Army had always had a good impression of the Russians. Many of them were even pro-Russian.

A group of people looked at Li Yunlong without saying anything, just looking at themselves quietly, then looked at each other, stopped talking, and waited for Li Yunlong to speak.

"Are you finished?"

Li Yunlong glanced at everyone and asked.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Li Yunlong meant.

"First of all, I would like to thank you all for your contributions to the Four Eastern Provinces, thank you for your spirit of not giving up, and thank you for fighting for the Four Eastern Provinces until the very end!"

Li Yunlong bowed deeply to the group of Anti-Japanese United Army members in front of him.

The Anti-Japanese United Army arrived in Arshan two days ago. Li Yunlong had already contacted them before, but did not urge them to return. He waited until the Japanese were about to take action before calling them back.

After they arrived in Arshan, they learned about the intelligence in the Far East. Many people felt that it was time to send troops into the four northeastern provinces to disrupt the Japanese deployment. Perhaps they could recover some land and help the Russians at the same time.

"but!"

"Everyone, don't forget that the Far East you're talking about was once our land, the land that was occupied by the Russian bear in 1860!"

"Have you all forgotten?"

"If this piece of land had always been in the hands of the Russian bear, would we have a chance to recover it?"

As soon as Li Yunlong said this, everyone understood what he meant.

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Brigade Commander Zhou frowned and said, "Then we can't just sit back and do nothing. Do we really want to help the Japs? They're invaders!"

"The devils must fight, but not now. Now is our chance, our chance to transform our country back into a beautiful autumn-leafed begonia. If we miss this opportunity, the Greater Khingan Range, Outer Mongolia, the Far East and other regions will all become the territory of the Russian bear.

"We will all become sinners in history!"

"I know you have a close relationship with the Russians, but have you ever thought about why the Russians oppose our army but support you?"

"You are not as good as me in war, and you are even worse than me in politics!"

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he walked to the map and said, "The Russians are supporting you so they can have an excuse to annex the four northeastern provinces. They have been eyeing us covetously. Don't think our neighbor is a good person. There is no love between countries, only interests!"

"You all know Poland, right? What happened to them?"

All the members of the Anti-Japanese United Army were patriotic and had a strong sense of patriotism. If they, like Brigade Commander Zhou and Major Li, had not had a sincere patriotic heart, they would not have persisted in fighting in such a harsh environment in the four northeastern provinces.

But they had been fighting in the four northeastern provinces and had always relied on the support of the Mao Zedong, so they had great trust in the Mao Zedong. Li Yunlong had many plans later, all of which were to calculate the Mao Zedong, so they had to do a good job of ideological work.

As for why Li Yunlong hated the Russians so much, in addition to the fact that the Russians occupied our land and were eyeing the four northeastern provinces, there was another important reason, which was that we were betrayed by the Russians during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

Yes, we were severely cheated by the Russians in the war of founding the country.

Many people know about the Korean War, but few know the circumstances we faced when that battle broke out. We were in the south, preparing to cross the Strait, facing a powerful enemy in the northwest, numerous bandits in the southwest, and even banditry in the four northeastern provinces.

Why were troops transferred from the South when the war began? Because the fighting in China had not yet completely ended. When we decided to go to war with the dozen or so minions led by the Americans, there were still other wars going on in China.

The Soviet Union was very clear about our situation at the time. When the United Nations decided to send troops to the peninsula, the Soviet Union simply did not attend the meeting and did not use its veto power.

Then they hypocritically promised us that they would provide air force support, but after the war broke out, they first said it would be two months late, and then there was no further news. Even the supply of materials was pitifully small. This is totally inconsistent with the style of the Russian bear.

The reason is that the Russians are trying to trick us, waiting for us to be defeated, or waiting for us to ask them for help. The reason the Russians do this is because we have taken back Lushun and Dalian, two ports that the Russians have long coveted.

According to the Soviet Union's plan, if we lost and the war spread to the Yalu River, the Soviet Union could justifiably send troops and then station troops in the four northeastern provinces, and we would completely become their little brothers.

If we asked for help, the price of giving us help would be to continue leasing the ports of Lushun and Dalian.

These are some of the information decrypted by the Russians after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The Russians never thought we could win. They were watching the fire from the other side of the river, waiting for us to be defeated, ask for help, and then control us. They even judged that we did not dare to send troops.

The reason why some people within our group opposed sending troops was because the domestic environment was unstable. If we were defeated, the chain reaction we would trigger would be something we could not afford, and we might even be counterattacked.

So, it was under tremendous pressure that Mr. Wang said, "Strike the first blow to prevent a hundred blows!"

It was also because of the Russian bear's betrayal that our ancestors paid a heavy price in casualties. And almost all the subsequent wars we experienced were related to the Russian bear, who were behind the scenes.

The nominal big brother is secretly stabbing you so hard that sparks are flying.

Therefore, Li Yunlong had no psychological burden in calculating the Mao Bear. If it were not for some reasons, Li Yunlong even wanted to bleed the Mao Bear's aorta. Unfortunately, the Mao Bear was needed as a shield after the war, so Li Yunlong cut some meat in the Siberian region.

"General Li Yunlong, then tell us what you plan to do!"

After digesting Li Yunlong's words, a group of people slowly asked.

Chapter 439 Excited Gastilovich

"You don't need to do anything right now. You need to change into your clothes, train, and wait for my orders!"

Li Yunlong really doesn't dare to use the Anti-Japanese United Army team now. After all, the composition of the team is too complicated, and Jin Yi also came to Arshan.

However, Li Yunlong did not choose to attack him. After all, if Jin Yi was gone, there would still be Yin Yi. There were some things that Li Yunlong would not easily change. After all, Li Yunlong's greatest advantage was that he was familiar with the future direction. Unless there were special circumstances, Li Yunlong would not take the initiative to change something.

As for explaining everything to the master, the reason was very simple. Li Yunlong did not think that his wisdom would surpass the master's. He knew that the effect of some things he knew might only be ten, but the master might be able to reach a hundred, or even a thousand or ten thousand!

At this time, in the 17th Army’s headquarters, Gastilovich received a telegram from Moscow.

"Commander, congratulations! You have been appointed Commander of the Siberian Military District."

The staff officer beside him delivered the telegram to Gastilovich.

After hearing this, Gastilovich calmed down his excitement, then quickly walked to his desk and turned the dial.

"I'm Gastilovich. Connect me to the Moscow headquarters!"

"Commander, there may be some communication problems with Moscow..."

"Pick it up!"

"Yes!"

Due to its vast territory, Russia has devoted considerable attention to telecommunications, having completed a long-distance telephone line from the Far East to Moscow ten years ago. However, this line is largely unusable in winter, and even when it is connected, communication is spotty, so most people choose to send telegrams rather than make phone calls.

More than ten minutes later, the call was connected.

"I'm Gastilovich, I want to speak to General Zhukov!"

The telegram about Gastilovich's promotion mentioned a recommender, Zhukov. So Gastilovich wanted to thank Zhukov and listen to his guidance, after all, Zhukov had defeated the Japanese at Nomonhan.

"Hold on!"

A few minutes later, Zhukov's voice came from the other end of the phone. The voice was not loud. Gastilovich put the receiver tightly to his ear and listened to the voice on the other end of the phone.

"General Zhukov, I'm Gastilovich. Thank you for your recommendation."

"You are quite capable. I read the telegram you sent to the High Command, and your analysis is correct. The German army is indeed preparing to attack Stalingrad."

"It's all because of your good cultivation."

"Okay, stop being polite. What are you calling for? The communication quality here is poor. Speak louder."

"Yes!" Gastilovich gathered his thoughts and said, "General Zhukov, I'd like to hear your advice on how to defend against the Japanese."

"You just need to keep the Japanese east of Lake Baikal and prevent them from threatening Siberia's security. Wait for us to deal with them..."

Gastilovich didn't hear the rest of Zhukov's words clearly because the signal was too bad.

Gastilovich waited for five minutes, and only hung up the phone after making sure there was no sound.

Then, he breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he thought that as the commander of the Siberian Military Region, he was caught to take the blame. After all, the Japanese had just wiped out the Far Eastern Front, and someone needed to take the blame.

But the phone call just now made Gastilovich feel relieved. He was not the one to take the blame. His promotion was due to the suggestion of General Li Yunlong.

"As expected of the Japs, he's known as the Fox of China and the Thorn of the Empire. His strategic foresight is truly unerring. Even in Arshan, he can grasp the situation on the European battlefield. No wonder Moscow is seeking his advice."

At this time, Gastilovich's admiration for Li Yunlong reached its peak. After meeting Li Yunlong, he made several leaps in just a few months, directly from the commander of an ordinary infantry division to the commander of the Siberian Military Region.

You should know that his former boss, General Koman, had been in the 17th Army for many years, but he was only transferred from the 17th Army to the main force, the 3rd Armored Army.

What about himself? A survivor of the Great Purge, a man without any roots in the 17th Army or Moscow, yet he was able to rise from a division commander to the commander of the 17th Army, and then to the commander of the Siberian Military District.

Moreover, the commander of the Siberian Military Region is not an idle position. Although he has to face the invasion of the Japanese troops, this is an excellent opportunity. If he can turn the tide, stop the Japanese, and even counterattack into the Far East, he may be able to take two more steps forward.

Thinking of this, Gastilovich became even more excited, but he quickly calmed down. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Send a telegram to General Li Yunlong immediately to thank him for his support, tell him about my promotion to commander of the Siberian Military Region, and ask him if he has any good ideas to stop the Japanese attack."

The confidential secretary was shocked when he heard Gastilovitch's words, then quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes, I'll send the telegram right away."

After the confidential secretary sent the telegram, the entire 17th Army knew about it, and all the subordinate division commanders came to congratulate Gastilovich.

At the same time, these division commanders also knew one thing: Gastilovich's rapid promotion was entirely due to Li Yunlong's contribution. Those who originally had some doubts about Li Yunlong no longer had any doubts, only envy.

Many people are wondering how powerful Li Yunlong is that Moscow can promote a division commander with no foundation to become the commander of the Siberian Military Region.

At this time, at Arshan Railway Station, Li Yunlong also received Gastilovich's telegram.
