Age of Rebirth

As night fell over Moscow, lights in the streets and alleys came on one after another, and the city was at the peak of getting off work. At this moment, the Politburo of the CPSU Central Committee heard from the tweeter on the street about the battle against German fascism. The offensive, the general mobilization of the whole country, is a notice to all the Soviet people. This notice clearly tells all the people in Moscow and the Soviet Union that war has broken out!

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Kremlin office, through the thick ticket glass, the sound from the loudspeakers on the street could clearly reach Stalin’s ears. The lights in his office were still not turned on. The figure stood motionless in front of the window for a long time, and the worry on Stalin's face did not abate in the slightest. His eyes passed through the night-shrouded sky and looked towards the east.

"The troops in the east, the evacuation of the battlefield may not be so smooth. The Japanese Kwantung Army has been severely injured by Zhukov and has no ability to stop it. But that Tang Qiuli, that cunning and tricky Chinese, he still With sufficient strength and ability, it will cause great obstacles to the withdrawal of the eastern troops, and based on my understanding of the Chinese, he will do that, he will definitely!" Stalin thought to himself.

"I only hope that Vasilevsky's troops did not go too deep into the battlefield, otherwise, the evacuation will become very difficult!" Stalin was full of worries about the large-scale strategic transfer of the Eastern troops, and the source of all worries was Tang Qiuli, the Chinese who he never forgot to kill completely, as for the Japanese Kwantung Army, is not the reason for him to worry.

The Politburo meeting of the CPSU made a general mobilization for the Soviet Union's national war and broadcast it to the people of the whole country. When Stalin was full of worries about the prospect of war, Berlin, Germany, and the Reichstag Building.In the office of Hitler, the head of state of Germany, there was a joyous atmosphere.

Just like the lineup on the eve of the implementation of the "Barbarossa Plan", the leaders of the German party, government and military are all in the office of the head of state. However, this time, there are many more people than last time.

Hitler was smiling all over his face, holding a glass of champagne, chatting happily with his subordinates, and clinking glasses with a senior military officer or a government boss from time to time.Hitler, who usually didn't drink alcohol, obviously drank to his heart's content today. He was indeed very excited because, in the first few days in early April.There is so much good news for me.

The German army attacking the Soviet Union was in full swing.There was almost no resistance.In the Soviet Union, the triumphant song was advancing all the way, and my old Chinese friend Tang Qiuli proposed the plan to send an elite force to quickly seize the Caucasus oil field in the Soviet Union, and it went very smoothly.The army with an important mission encountered no resistance from the Soviet army on the way in.

According to the report of the commanding officer Lieutenant General Josel, there are two more weeks.You can reach the Caucasus oil field in the Soviet Union and completely occupy the area within a week. However, this is not the thing that makes Hitler the happiest. Any victory in the war against the Soviet Union is expected.

The thing that excites His Excellency the most is the report from the battlefield of the British Isles. Just half an hour ago, the Chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Marshal von Strangs, came to his office excitedly Here, he brought the good news that he most hoped to hear.

Marshal von Struns blushed with excitement. In front of Hitler, regardless of the etiquette of the nobles and the majesty of the marshal, he danced and reported: "My head of state, please allow me to report a great piece of good news to you. Ten minutes ago, the General Staff received a telegram from Marshal von Kleidman, commander of the Third Army Group fighting against the British and American forces in the British Isles."

Speaking of this, Marshal von Struns took a deep breath and continued with bright eyes: "At around 30 o'clock in the evening on April [-], the Third Army Group ended its offensive on the battlefield of the British Isles. More than [-] British and American coalition forces were all wiped out, and more than [-] people were captured. My head of state, from the beginning to the end of the offensive, Marshal Clayderman's troops took less than twelve hours , a great victory, a miracle!"

Hearing this news, Hitler himself clearly remembered that his heart seemed to burst open in an instant, and the blood flow was much faster than usual. , was finally realized, Britain was destroyed, and the Americans retreated to their hometown in embarrassment. On the ancient European land, there was no concept of other countries anymore. The European continent was under the rule of the German Empire, "Swastika "Flags flying on every piece of land!

In Hitler's eyes, there was a burning flame, and he asked eagerly: "Dear Strong, did Clayderman's report mention the British royal family, and the whereabouts of the big London liar Churchill? Well, dear Strong, I very much hope that our German soldiers can send Churchill to me, what an exciting moment!"

Hitler has a eccentric personality and has no good impressions of political leaders from various countries, including Germany's allies, Italy's fascist leader Mussolini, and Japan's Emperor Hirohito, but what he hates most is British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. When mentioning this person, His Excellency the Head of State must be crowned with the title of "London Liar". If Churchill can be captured alive, it will be more meaningful to him than to occupy this UK!

As the Führer's confidant, Marshal von Strangs, chief of staff, naturally understands the Führer's thoughts, and he also hopes to bring the Führer an unexpected surprise, "My Führer, very sorry, in the Third Army Group, A few days before the general attack on the Anglo-American coalition forces, the British royal family and cabinet had already fled to the United States for refuge, and of course, that Churchill also ran away with him!" He said with deep regret.

The flame in Hitler's eyes dimmed in an instant, but he immediately regained his spirits and ran away from "Churchill, the great liar in London." What else can the British royal family and government do?Leave him alone!

Hitler looked at the high-spirited and toasting senior officials, and said to Marshal von Struns: "This is a good day worthy of our celebration, don't waste it, Strons, give orders to the Third Army Group, After resting in the British battlefield for two weeks, and then heading to the Russian battlefield, didn't Clayderman always complain that it was the loss of the German army for not sending his troops to the Russian battlefield? Well, the General Staff Responsible for giving the third army group a suitable and independent attack direction, you arrange it!"

It is conceivable that Germany's most elite army group, with a strength of more than one million people, would be worse for the retreating Soviet army if it were deployed on the Soviet battlefield. Knowing this, he focused all his attention on the eastern battlefield, where all his hopes lay.

Until the morning of April [-]th, the commanders of the four front armies of the Soviet Army fighting in the Far East and Outer Mongolia had not received news of the outbreak of the Soviet-German war. This was intentionally done by Stalin, and the Politburo meeting was still in progress Among them, a complete response plan was not presented, and the news that was enough to stun everyone was reported to the frontline commanders prematurely, which would cause unnecessary confusion and self-disruption, which is a taboo for military strategists!

On the evening of April [-], the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union made a resolution. Subsequently, the order issued by the General Staff to evacuate the Far East and Outer Mongolia battlefields also reached the headquarters of the Front Army.

Prior to this, General Zhukov, the commander of the Soviet Far East Front Army and the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Army in the Far East, was holding a military conference at the temporary headquarters of the Front Army Command, with the participation of senior officers above the commander of the three Front Army Group Army, and deployed the last attack against the Japanese Kwantung Army. hit.

At this point in the battle, all Soviet officers knew that the fall of the Japanese Kwantung Army was just a matter of these few days, and they were even fighting desperately, sending out elite divisions to attack Birobidzhan and the South Road exit. General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army in both Khabarovsk and Khabarovsk, was also very clear in his heart.

Therefore, this military meeting can be regarded as the last military meeting attended by senior generals of various fronts before launching a general attack on the Kwantung Army. What Zhukov has to do is how to wipe out the Japanese Kwantung Army in the encirclement at the lowest cost. , Complete annihilation is not a problem, but how to do it at the smallest cost is a delicate task that must be carefully deployed. Zhukov is not a general who fights on the basis of human lives.

After more than ten days of bloody fighting, the Japanese Kwantung Army with a total strength of more than 180 people was considered disabled. According to the statistics of the results of the military reports from various quarters, the total number of Japanese troops annihilated in more than ten days was about one million. In fact, Zhukov observed the situation on the battlefield every day. The blood left by Japanese soldiers and Soviet soldiers dyed the swamps on the plain dark purple, and roughly estimated the losses of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

The Soviet army paid the price of more than 180 casualties for this. After more than ten days of fierce fighting and bloody fighting, more than [-] million soldiers from the Soviet Union and Japan fell on the battlefield with a radius of only [-] to [-] kilometers. , this situation will end soon, and tomorrow, at [-]:[-] a.m. on April [-]th, the Japanese Kwantung Army will be dealt the final blow!

Zhukov looked at the hundreds of senior generals sitting in the tent, talking and laughing happily, with a smile on the corner of their mouths, feeling quite emotional.

Accompanied by General Kilganin, the commander and political commissar of the Outer Xing'an Mountains Front Army, and General Gregarif, the commander and political commissar of the Baikal Front Army, three Soviet military giants in the Far East walked into the conference room side by side, Hundreds of senior Soviet officers immediately fell silent.
