Chapter 971

Not long after Ling Sanping left, there was a rush of footsteps in the teahouse. Gu Qi quickly ran to the second floor, and before he could wipe off the sweat from his head, he reported a shocking news to Zuo Zhong.

"Senior, top-secret telegram from the Northeast, two days ago at nine o'clock in the evening, a Japanese search team secretly infiltrated the Nomenkan, more than 200 kilometers away from the Red-Russian border, and launched a sneak attack on the Mongolian army.

This search team belongs to the No.20 Third Division of the Kwantung Army that entered Hailar in July last year. It has [-] cavalry and [-] armored soldiers under it. The name of the commander is temporarily unknown.

Yesterday and today, five Japanese planes participated in combat operations and attacked the Mongolian army east of the Haraha River. With the surprise attack and ground-air superiority, the Japanese won.

After paying more than [-] casualties, the Mongolian army voluntarily withdrew to the area west of the Haraha River. According to credible information, the Red Russians have begun mobilizing troops in accordance with the "Russian-Mongolian Mutual Assistance Agreement." "

The Japanese and the Red Russians are fighting!
Hearing this news, Zuo Chong stood up abruptly. This was a big event, and he had to go back to the bureau headquarters to wait for the higher-ups' orders. He asked Gu Qi as he walked out.

"Is there any specific deployment for Red Russia?"

"Yes, the No.11 Chariot Brigade of the Red Russian Far East Army and the No.30 Sixth Motorized Rifle Division stationed in Ulan-Ude began to move towards Nomenkan. Our intelligence personnel took photos of the march.

In addition, the Seventh Command of the Red Russian Far East deployed in Ulaanbaatar was also transferred to Tamtsag Prague, 120 and [-] kilometers away from Nomonkan, in order to command the battle at Nomenkan. "

Gu Qi said in a low voice the information collected so far by General Tong, his face was full of excitement. The Japanese attack on Red Russia was good news for the government, because the Republic of China was no longer fighting alone.

Zuo Zhong was not as blindly optimistic as he was. The conflict between Japan and Red Russia had a long history. Due to geopolitical and ideological conflicts, the two countries often had friction in the Far East.

In 1904, in order to compete for the sphere of influence in the Northeast of the Republic of China, the Russo-Japanese War broke out. The decadent Tsarist Russian Far East Army was no match for the Japanese Kwantung Army with more advanced combat thinking.

Japan won a complete victory in this battle, and the Northeast of the Republic of China became Japan's sphere of influence. Tsarist Russia was also forced to cede the southern part of Sakhalin Island to Japan, losing all the face of old imperialism.

In addition to victories on land, Japan also won victories against Russia at sea. In the Yellow Sea naval battle, the Pacific Ocean Fleet deployed by Tsarist Russia in Lushun Port was completely wiped out by the Japanese navy.

So far, Tsarist Russia has completely lost the qualification to fight for interests with Japan in the Far East, and its military strategy has shifted to comprehensive defense. The entire northern territory of the Republic of China has only one plotter left in Japan.

However, Japan, which won the final and complete victory in the Russo-Japanese War, has become more and more hungry, and even has the ambition to contend for world hegemony, and started a sinful plan to invade China from cannibalism.

It was also after this war that the Japanese began to despise Tsarist Russia, a great northern country. Even after the establishment of Red Russia, most Japanese military officers still maintained their contempt for Red Russia without knowing it.

When Japan completely embarked on the monarchist line of foreign aggression, in order to continuously obtain the benefits of aggression, two voices appeared among the think tanks and cabinet officials in Japan's Tokyo headquarters.

One is the northward route adhered to by the Japanese army, which once again provoked a war against the Red Russia by land, capturing the vast strategic depth of Montenegro and Siberia, and occupying the vulnerable Republic of China along the way.

In this way, not only can the rich mineral deposits and oil and gas possessed by the northern part of Red Russia and Mongolia be obtained, but also the vast territory of the Yuan Dynasty can be reproduced and become the world's leading power.

Due to the impact of the last war, the Japanese Army optimistically believed that the Red Russian army was fragile, and even boasted that one Japanese division was worth three Red Russian divisions, but they didn't know where they had the courage.

Another voice is the southward route proposed by the Japanese navy, which uses the powerful force of the Japanese combined fleet to go southward to Southeast Asia and sweep away the colonial forces of European and American countries in southern Asia.

Then hold the abundant rubber and non-ferrous metal resources in your hands, and complete the complete blockade of the coastline of the Republic of China. To the east, you can cross the Pacific Ocean and attack the hateful American ghosts and animals.

These two routes are very attractive to the Japanese base camp. The frenzied Japanese military and Tianlocust said: only children make choices, and of course adults want all of them!

Since the southern route is dominated by the navy, the cycle of technical equipment manufacturing and personnel training is relatively long, so the preparation time is slightly longer. The Japanese base camp decided to follow the army first.

Since the establishment of the pseudo-mite in 1932, Japan and Red Russia have been in constant conflict. Since 1935, the fledgling Kwantung Army has become more and more contemptuous of the "incompetent" Red Russian troops, and has become more and more courageous.

The Japanese army stationed in Hailar used the border issue as an excuse to continuously intensify the border conflicts between Russia, Japan and Mongolia and Japan, testing the military strength of Red Russia and Mongolia and gradually escalating the scale.

The Kwantung Army deployed in the Northeast began to gather towards the Red-Russian border little by little, and the Japanese security forces left behind in the pseudo-mite territory were reorganized into a new type of division and began to march towards the border area.

Japan's local tank and artillery units are also starting intensive preparations. Although the devils despise the Red Russia, they are not stupid. They know that firepower projection is the key to fighting in the Far East where Pingyuan is the mainstay.

In the end, the first armed conflict broke out between the two countries last year, that is, in July 1938. The location was the left bank of the Tumen River, the Zhanggufeng area at the junction of the border between the Republic of China and Koryo.

At that time, the Red Russian army built fortifications on Zhanggufeng and Shacaofeng to the north, while Japan dispatched its colonial troops stationed in Koryo and the Kwantung Army to attack and once occupied the area.

At the beginning of August, the Red Russian army counterattacked and attacked the Japanese army in the south and north of the Tumen River and Hassan Lake area. After several days of firefights, the Japanese army suffered a disastrous defeat with 8 casualties. The Red Russia took the opportunity to occupy the Zhanggufeng area.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese government demanded a ceasefire, and the two sides signed an armistice agreement. This war dealt a heavy blow to Japan's plan to invade the Red Russia in the north, but it also made the Japanese feel that the Red Russia was a foreign power.

原因是这场战役日军参战总人数近7000人、火炮37门，红俄却在行动地域集结了1.5万余人、237门火炮、285辆战车，250架飞机。

In the case of superior weapons, equipment and numbers, Red Russia actually suffered more than 4000 casualties. If it hadn't been for Red Russia to use its air force superiority to bomb Koryo and make the Japanese throw their hands at them, the outcome would be hard to say.

This is the whole process of the conflict between Japan and Red Russia. It can be said that the Battle of Nomenkan was the inevitable result of Japan's military aggression, and it was also an inevitable battle between Japan and Red Russia for hegemony in the Far East.

But no matter whether it is going north or going south, the Japanese have a unified opinion on the invasion of the Republic of China. Even if Japan really fights with Red Russia, it will not relax its military, political, and economic oppression against the government.

It takes one's own strength to strike iron, and ultimately one has to rely on oneself to drive away the devils. Besides, the Japanese don't know what kind of opponent they have provoked, and no one knows the horror of Red Russia better than Zuo Zhong.

According to public information, the current military strength of Red Russia is as high as more than 500 million, with nearly 2 aircraft, 1.5 tanks, tens of thousands of artillery pieces, and an unknown number of "shadow troops".

Every unit in the Red Russian Army has several deputies for each position. It was indeed a bit bloated during the peace period, but the troops can be rapidly expanded during the war, and the combat effectiveness will not drop too much.

The Japanese will soon know the fear of being dominated by the torrent of steel. The Japanese army was arrogant on the battlefield of the Republic of China, and it is a standard younger brother in front of the more modernly equipped Red Russian army.

So this battle won't last long, and Red Russia's strategic focus is still on Europe. After teaching the little devil a lesson, Red Russia will inevitably accept it as soon as it is good, and focus more on a certain beard.

Based on the above situation, Zuo Zhong, as the intelligence chief of the national government, should now consider how to make the fight between Red Russia and Japan last longer. Only in this way can we buy more time for the Republic of China.

This is not unreasonable. There is no real friendship between countries, only real interests. Don't forget one thing, whether it is Zhang Gufeng or Nuomenkan, whose land was originally.

Red Russia's support for the government was also to drag Japan's troops to the Republic of China, so as not to be attacked by Germany and Japan on both sides. Everyone just used it. Why couldn't the Republic of China use Red Russia.

Zuo Zhong quickly figured out the stakes, and took a car with Gu Qi back to the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau. At this time, Luojiawan No. 29 was already in chaos, with harsh phone ringing and running little spies everywhere.

"Hey, hello, Jun Wei will meet, I am the military commander here, the situation is not clear yet."

"Hurry up and help me pick up the attendant's room, the military commander has an emergency to report."

When such a big event happened, it is natural to ask the military command for information from all aspects. In terms of military intelligence, the military command is undoubtedly the most influential. As for the central command, who doesn't know that it is a group of wine bags and rice bags.

In the chaos, Zuo Zhong walked through the crowd with a sullen face, and the passing staff hurriedly saluted. Before he could nod and respond, he was dragged to the director's office by Dai Chunfeng's secretary Li Wei.

"Shen Mo, you know the situation, okay, the situation is very good!"

Lao Dai, who was pacing back and forth in the room, saw Zuo Zhong, immediately waved his arms and laughed and said, it seems that the other party, like Gu Qi, was optimistic about the conflict between Red Russia and Japan.

Zuo nodded his head, and responded with a faint smile: "Yes, teacher, the students have already heard that the Japanese are too arrogant, and the Red Russia is not something they can deal with. Mosk probably will take action soon.

As the situation in Europe becomes more and more tense, the Red Russians will definitely teach the Japanese a profound lesson as soon as possible, so as to prevent the Japanese from attacking the Red Russian inland from the Far East when changes occur in Europe. "

Dai Chunfeng frowned when he heard the words, and his smile gradually froze on his face. He heard the implication of his students. The war between Japan and Russia was the Red Russians teaching the Japanese, not an all-out war between the two.

This is different from what he and the top officials of the government think. Everyone thinks that as long as Japan and Russia go to war, the Japanese army fighting on both sides will definitely reduce its troops in the Republic of China, and even withdraw its troops from the land of the Republic of China.

Zuo Zhong noticed the change in Teacher Qi's expression, and secretly sighed, the Guo Party is always like this, entrusting its own destiny and future on other countries┴, don't you know that it is better to ask for others than yourself!
