Invincible urban management

The central part of Sakhalin Island (called Huatai Island in Japanese and Sakhalin Island in Russian), at the national boundary line at [-] degrees north latitude

Among the towering old trees, a concrete boundary marker with the sun flag and the national emblem of chrysanthemum standing tall in the barren mountains and forests.

To the south of it is the Kata Hall of the Japanese Empire, and to the north of it is the Sakhalin Oblast of the Soviet Union.

——Sakhalin Island, this desolate island in the ice and snow of Northeast Asia, was once placed under the name of China in theory.But in fact, from the seventeenth century to the twentieth century, it has been Japanese ronin and Russian adventurers who repeatedly fought for the island.The shogunate samurai of the Edo period and the free Cossacks of the Russian tsar fought countless battles on this island far away from their respective homelands.

After several centuries of repeated contests, after the end of the Russo-Japanese War, according to the "Portsmouth Peace Treaty", Tsarist Russia ceded the area south of the fifty degrees north latitude of Sakhalin Island to Japan, and Japan set up the Kara Tai Hall in the ceded area. There are 17 villages in 4 towns and 58 counties, with a total population of more than 30.

By 1935, this desolate land surrounded by ice seas and snow fields had not heard of war for 30 years.Since 1913 (Taisho 2), in order to save money in the peaceful era, the Japanese Empire even canceled the garrison on Huatai Island, and only arranged a small number of border police units of the Huatai Hall Police Department with light weapons. border guards, smuggling inspectors, etc.

However, since the early summer of this year, members of the Japanese Border Police of the Huatai Hall Police Department, who are standing guard next to the boundary marker of the 30th parallel with a 7-type rifle, have become increasingly horrified to find out.On the other side of the border, which has been quiet for [-] years, there seems to be some unusual movements-the vast jungle has been cut down, and the quagmire and meadow have been filled.Rows of barracks appeared on the uninhabited wilderness, flying bright red flags... The Soviet Red Army began to increase its troops in Sakhalin almost undisguisedly, sending small groups of scouts to invade the southern part of the island several times since July , and even bloodbathed the Japanese border defense station, set fire to the Japanese mines and reclaimed land, and caused the Japanese Empire's Huatai Hall to panic, feeling that the red iron flow was about to come.

to this end.Huatai Hall has issued multiple alarms since July, requesting reinforcements from the imperial government and preparing to evacuate some residents.

However.At this time, the Japanese Empire, whose capital Tokyo has been reduced to a wasteland of nuclear explosions, has no time to care about such "trivial matters"—after the emergency report of the Kara Tai Hall was sent, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and it was not received for two whole months. Any relevant reply to Cabinet.Instead, the Imperial Household Ministry sent a notice.Said it was to celebrate the new emperor's enthronement.Ask Huatai Island to pay tribute to some native products and bear skins...

Next, in the panic of hundreds of thousands of Japanese immigrants on Kata Island, the cold current from the Sea of ​​Okhotsk finally swept in!

——On August 8, three Soviet divisions went south to break through the national border and began to attack the Japanese Kawata colony.At this time, the headquarters of the Japanese Empire did not deploy a single regular army in the entire Huatai colony, and there were only less than 19 border policemen equipped with light weapons...

Obviously, the "[-] big cover" can't deal with Soviet tanks.The wooden clubs of the police are even more ineffective against the bayonets of the Red Army.Therefore, the Soviet Red Army on the Sakhalin battlefield encountered almost no strong resistance.It easily crossed the border area and made great strides towards the south.

Compared with the negligible resistance of the Japanese, what really hindered the advance speed of the Soviet army was actually the harsh natural environment-the entire Sakhalin Island belongs to the category of cold-zone permafrost coniferous forests, and the mountains are covered with pines and birches. There are lakes and bubbles everywhere, big and small, full of holes, like a sieve.The large ones are one or two square kilometers, and the small ones are only a few hundred square meters.Beside the ponds and lakes, there are stretches of swampy land covered under green grass, which can't be seen at first glance... The heavy Soviet tanks sank into the mud one after another within a few kilometers.

In short, not long after breaking through the border, the mechanized troops of the Soviet Union degenerated into infantry divisions and cavalry brigades... However, in the face of hundreds of Japanese policemen with "March [-]" and wooden batons, there is still For the checkpoints made of birch nails, infantry on the Soviet side is enough.

At the same time, the Soviet Pacific Fleet also set off from Soviet Port and Vladivostok to attack the southern coastal area of ​​Huatai Colony by sea—it was once ridiculed and despised by the United Fleet of the Japanese Empire, with only two cruisers and several The Soviet Pacific Fleet with more than two destroyers now seems to be the overlord of the Sea of ​​Japan!Three of the Soviet destroyers even went further south along the east coast of the Sea of ​​Japan, bombarding Wakkanai in Hokkaido and Akita Port on Honshu Island.It not only cut off the channel for the Japanese army to reinforce the Huatai colony, but also caused greater panic among the Japanese people.

On August 8, the Soviet army began to land at Esatori Port and Magang Port, and occupied Toyohara City, the capital of Huatai, in the afternoon of the next day, and raised the red flag with sickle and hammer in front of the city hall building.During the entire combat period, the total number of casualties paid by the Soviet army was less than 20. Although some Japanese armed expatriates and policemen continued to fight guerrilla warfare in the mountains and fields, the 300-year-old Huatai colony has since disappeared.

At the same time, to the east of Sakhalin Island, the Kuril Islands in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk also heard the sound of artillery from the Soviet Red Army.

——Like Sakhalin Island, the Kuril Islands were also one of the spoils Japan gained from Russia after the Russo-Japanese War.After the Japanese Empire gained a foothold on this stretching archipelago, it not only closed Russia's exit to the Pacific Ocean, but also closed the sea passages to the ports of Kamchatka and Chukotka Peninsula, which became the time for the Japanese army to attack the coastal areas and the Far East. The base made the Soviets feel like a stick in their throats.

Therefore, after the Battle of Sakhalin Island came to an end, the Soviet Pacific Fleet soon set anchor again and raided the Japanese strongholds on the Kuril Islands.The coastal defense artillery of the Soviet Red Army also bombarded Zhanshou Island, the northernmost tip of the Kuril Islands, from the fort on the Kamchatka Peninsula 12 kilometers away.

Facing the imminent attack of the Soviet Red Army, the Japanese defense force deployed on the Kuril Islands at this time was not much stronger than that of Sakhalin Island.And the domestic backup forces can't be counted on either... These Japanese border sentinels who are stuck on the frozen island.The only thing to do is to pray to the gods to bless.

In addition, the Puppet Manchukuo on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River also ignited the flames of war and gunpowder...

northeast.North of Puppet Manchukuo, Greater Khingan Mountains

At this moment, it is the most beautiful midsummer season of the year in Northeast China - the warm and cool mountain breeze, mixed with the fragrance of green grass and leaves, passes through the tall and dense conifer forest, and the dense branches and leaves are blown by the mountain breeze. Constantly pitching, "squeaking" sound of distant waves... a teal with a black neck and a white pattern.Flying wildly in the pool where the creeks gather in the forest, all kinds of unknown insects chirp, blending with the unique slight noises of the virgin forest.Thus, in this wild forest, an eternal, strange and wonderful symphony has been formed.

However, although the style of nature is so wonderful.But there will always be humans who will break the tranquility of this great forest.

It was noon.The sun has climbed to the top of the head, and the mottled sunlight is difficult to pass through the obstruction of the dense forest branches and leaves, and shines on the forest floor where no one has walked for many years.The thick fallen leaves accumulated over the years are stacked layer by layer, becoming rotten and damp, covered with moss and bugs, and stepping on it until there is no instep... However, it is in such a jungle that is difficult to walk.Dozens of soldiers from the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army wore Soviet uniforms and carried supply bags.Scuttling back and forth like a mountain mouse, free as a trout dropped into the water.

——For the Northeast Anti-Union fighters who have been dealing with the Japanese army and the puppet army for four years between the white mountains and the black waters, this mountain road is really nothing, but for this "sin and meritorious service", they were ordered to detour through the territory of the Soviet Union. For Comrade Bogu, who came to the enemy-occupied area in the Northeast for business, the former supreme leader who was accustomed to being pampered was a bit too much: the narrow uniform collar strangled his neck straight, and the soft military cap was buttoned aside. With the rifle slung behind his back, he freed his two hands to grab the slippery tree trunk for strength, and let out a wheezing sound from time to time.

Even though it is in a forest that blocks the sun, the high temperature in the summer afternoon steamed the humus in the dense forest into wisps of white smoke.The indescribable smell made Boguxun dizzy, feeling that the supply bag on his back was getting heavier and heavier, and the submachine gun in his hand was also clenched.

After climbing up a steep hill, Bogu couldn't bear it anymore, and finally found a fairly clean tree stump and sat down, pulled his hat back, took out a booklet and kept fanning his face , panting heavily:

"...Comrade Zhao Shangzhi, my God, Comrade Zhao Shangzhi, can you wait a moment? Please stop, my eyes are blurred. Look, the two Soviet comrades who came with me, and The comrades of the Central Red Army have already been thrown far away!"

"...Hehe, I'm sorry, our soldiers are all used to walking on mountain roads, I didn't expect the comrades from the pass to be physically weak."

Zhao Shangzhi stopped with a smile, seemingly simple and honest, but in fact he replied with a hidden needle, "... I was a little too excited just now, and I was anxious to let the comrades in Manchuria hear this good news... I didn't take into account the physical strength of the comrades in the mainland , I'm really sorry..."

In this regard, Bo Gu, who had already been panting like a cow, really didn't want to play any more verbal tricks, so he could only roll his eyes and deal with it.

——In late August of this year, a Soviet army under the command of General Blyuchel crossed the Heilongjiang River and conquered the city of Heihe, which was empty of defense forces on the other side. Arms supply, further expansion of strength, so as to be able to launch a larger-scale battle, completely holding back the hands and feet of the Japanese Kwantung Army-and Bogu went to contact the Northeast Anti-Japanese Army with such a mission.

——It was not until 30 kilometers deep into the border that Bogu and the Soviet liaison officer who accompanied him saw tens of thousands of Northeast Anti-Japanese fighters gathered here on an open river beach, as well as Yang Jingyu , Zhou Baozhong, Li Zhaolin and other anti-union generals.

Compared with the shabby clothes and poverty-stricken appearance before, the Northeast Anti-Japanese League has become much more foreign at this time. Basically, everyone has a Soviet "Mosin Nagant" rifle. He also wore a Soviet military uniform.The total strength of the army has also expanded from more than 1 at the beginning of the year to more than [-] today-according to the secret deal between the Soviet authorities and the "future comrades".Beginning in early summer and May, the Soviet Far East garrison completely ignored the intimidation and threats of the Japanese Empire, and greatly increased reinforcements to the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance.It caused more and more terrible troubles for the Japanese Kwantung Army.

Up to now, the Soviet Red Army simply tore off the last layer of peaceful camouflage, and took the initiative to send troops across the river to deliver military supplies to the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance.

However, compared with the soldiers of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance who "changed shotguns for guns", the special section soldiers of the Party Central Committee who escorted Bogu here looked even more "foreign style"-digital camouflage camouflage uniforms.Canvas combat boots, flapper body armor, ballistic helmet with canvas camouflage cover.Plus a pair of goggles that seem a little redundant.Their bodies were also covered with all kinds of odds and ends, and several of them carried individual radio stations on their shoulders... After they demonstrated the use of these equipment to the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, they immediately felt a little self-conscious. The great anti-union fighters were shocked...

All in all, after some "friendly exchanges and negotiations".All the leaders of the Northeast Anti-Japanese War readily accepted joining forces with the Soviet Army.Go to Heihe to receive equipment and suggestions to expand the army - this kind of opportunity to make money that fell from the sky, only a fool would not want it!The Soviets were not so generous in the past!Then, since we have guns, funds, and food and grass, we must go to fight Little Japan, otherwise, would it be possible to turn around and become a traitor?As for whether to truly obey the leadership of the Party Central Committee in Guangzhou, which is far away on the other side of China...it depends on the situation.

It can be seen from this that due to the long-term isolation and lack of communication with other Chinese Red Army.On the contrary, it has close ties with the Far East Soviet Army on the other side of Heilongjiang... If we want to bring the Northeast Anti-Japanese Army under the jurisdiction of the Party Central Committee, I am afraid that there is still a long way to go for this recruitment work...

next.Starting from the end of August, under Bogu's lead and initiative, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, which were already very active, simply put up the signboard of "Manchurian Soviet Government" in Heihe City, and invited heroes from all walks of life to join, declaring that they would "fight Go to Changchun and recover the whole of Manchuria!"

On the other hand, the response and counterattack of the Japanese Kwantung Army seemed extremely weak. I have a different idea.Especially when the Red Army of the Soviet Union marched southward in a large scale, after three surprises a day throughout the Northeast, the situation took a turn for the worse... Soon, the Kwantung Army Command was surprised and annoyed to find that most of the Manchukuo troops in various places in the territory began to disobey military orders. Obedience to others and violation to others, there were even signs of privately collecting ordnance in an attempt to gather crowds to cause chaos.

General Nanjiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army, was so angry that he ordered the execution of some of the most rebellious assassins. As a result, riots immediately broke out in Qiqihar and Siping. Naturally, the deterrent force on the ground is not as good as before.Even Aixinjueluo Puyi, the emperor of the Puppet Manchukuo, secretly had the idea of ​​changing his family under the current situation—since the girl from Aixinjueluo's family can get along so well with the Red Party The wind is booming, even if I think about it, the emperor will not have a miserable life!

Next, not only the puppet Manchukuo side was raging with wars and undercurrents, but even the Korean peninsula showed signs of instability and riots... Not only the blustery "Republic of Korea Government-in-Exile" brought a large number of people from Shanghai Arms and funds ("real money" issued in the future) sneaked into the Korean peninsula, and even the Korean red guerrillas assisted by the Soviet Union crossed the Tumen River from the north and successfully entered...

Shanghai, Shiliupu Pier

Accompanied by a long whistle, a Soviet merchant ship deliberately flying the American flag pulled up the anchor chain and slowly left the dock.

At first glance, this seems to be no different from other smuggling merchant ships that recently ventured to Shanghai to do business, but if you look closely, you can find that the pier is unusually heavily guarded, and the sailors of this Soviet merchant ship seem to be Extraordinarily capable, not even a single drunk.

At the same time, on a German cruise ship next to it, General Seekert, General Falkenhausen, and the officers of the German Advisory Group in China squinted their eyes, looking at the ship loaded with a The Soviet merchant ship with a [-]-ton equivalent atomic bomb gradually disappeared.

"...through the deal on the Manchurian battlefield, the Soviets have obtained the first nuclear bomb...we must also speed up our actions."

General Seekert said solemnly, "...Everyone, after returning to China, we must launch all relations, at all costs, and reach this deal for the purchase of atomic bombs as quickly as possible! Otherwise, we will not be responsible for the future of the country and the nation. responsibility!"

"...I think so too, but at this price..." Falkenhausen sighed and shook his head, "...the Chinese in the future are really greedy!"

"...Even if you are blackmailed, there is nothing you can do... Atomic bombs... This kind of super weapon that may end all wars and destroy human civilization, we Germans have to buy back even if we sell our pants!"

General Seekert replied almost decisively, but then smiled lightly, "...Actually, I don't think there should be too many obstacles... I believe that after watching the movie "Destruction of the Empire" with my own eyes, the head of state and his My close partners will definitely make the right choice..." (To be continued...)
