Age of Rebirth

Chapter 810 Five Stalin Compromise

Tang Qiuquan, the leader of the Special Operations Detachment of the Independent Division, according to the plan of the division commander Tang Qiuli, used the captured documents. The Kwantung Army's No. , and successively received the troops backed up by the special warfare detachment, and the rebel group formed by Tang Qiuli himself into the city.

The reputation of the Kwantung Army’s No.19 Suitance Brigade is already out, for no other reason. There is the nephew of Commander Kenkichi Ueda. This guy with a very tough door, no one dares to find him uncomfortable, even the military police. Intervention is at best a routine matter, but it is also very polite, which brings great convenience to the special operations detachment's activities in the urban area of ​​Haishanwei.

Because there was an order to establish a material transfer station, the supply troops came in batches, and did not attract the special attention of the [-]th Division of the Kwantung Army in charge of the Haishanwei security task.

As soon as the Soviet-Japanese War in the Far East started, the Japanese army’s logistical supplies increased dramatically. The Kwantung Army’s logistical supplies were divided into two routes, one was from Harbin in East Manchuria, Mudanjiang to Suifenhe, and the other was from the mainland of Taiwan, across the border. * The maritime supply line in the sea, the Kwantung Army No. 19 convoy that Qiuquan killed, was responsible for the transfer of supplies from the sea. [

Because it is a logistics force, it is normal for people and trucks to enter and leave Haishanwei, and everything is going well, but there is still one last problem before Qiu Quan, and I don’t know how the Japanese army and navy are doing. The posture of incompatibility between water and fire, except for the designated unloading dock and the place where the marines handle the military port, Qiuquan and the others can't get close at all.

The sentry post of the No.19 supply unit is separated from the Marine Corps sentry post by a barbed wire fence. The soldiers of the Marine Corps look at these Army compatriots in the wrong way, with a look of bitterness, deep hatred, old age and death. Look, the soldiers of the special operations unit deliberately strike up a conversation with them, please, hand them cigarettes and say hello.

The amount of supplies from mainland China is very large. The soldiers of the special warfare detachment are responsible for loading and unloading supplies every day. Here you come as a laborer for the little devil!" As a large amount of materials were unloaded on the dock, the scale of the transfer station became larger and larger, and gradually extended to the area controlled by the Marine Corps.

Qiuquan was also anxious, and truthfully reported the situation and difficulties faced by the troops in Haishanwei to the division commander Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiuli called back: "Be careful, don't be impatient, wait for the opportunity, and make sure that in case of mistakes, the Japanese-Soviet war will not happen." It will end soon, and the two sides will have a decisive battle in the Far East."

Tang Qiuli did not speculate out of thin air. Just yesterday, the besieged Soviet army sent several people over, claiming to be the plenipotentiary representatives of General Zhukov. They hoped to have an interview with the top commander of the Chinese side on issues related to the besieged Soviet army. Opinion.

When Tang Qiuli heard this, he was furious at that time. In the Far East, the Soviets had already been beaten up by the Japanese. You are still haggling with me and putting on airs. Did Stalin lose his head? ?If the Soviet government doesn't come forward, let these remnant soldiers deal with me in the future, how can there be any profit?

He sneered and said to Chang Feng: "Shoot them back immediately, and tell these Soviet soldiers that you are my captives, but you have not handed over your guns for the time being. As long as I am willing, within three to ten minutes, I will let you All turned into corpses, negotiate with me, you are not qualified, let the Soviet government send a delegation that can speak, otherwise there will be no negotiation!"

Chang Feng suppressed a laugh and repeated Tang Qiuli's words to several Soviet generals. Then, according to the commander's instructions, he drove them back into the encirclement with a long series of heavy machine guns. Zhukov, who was waiting eagerly for the return of the negotiators, saw the appearance of these assistants and knew that there was no result.

After more than ten days of hard work, Zhukov was very old and haggard. He was responsible for the lives of 10,000+ Soviet Red Army soldiers. The soldier's self-esteem made him always have the urge to die on the battlefield, but 10,000+ fresh lives, It made him cry in vain. Although there are air supplies every day, as the time of siege prolongs, the morale and fighting will of the soldiers are getting weaker and weaker. Such troops cannot fight again.

Regarding Tang Qiuli's permission to drop supplies to the besieged Soviet army, Zhukov had a strange feeling, which overturned all his views on the Chinese Communists. He really wanted to see the Chinese who had defeated him in person. General, the Chinese who made 10,000+ lively Red Army soldiers look like sick cats. There are too many mysteries in this Chinese.

From the constant telegrams sent from the country, Zhukov felt with the keenness of a soldier that something important must have happened. Just yesterday, he received a telegram from the General Staff, telling him that Comrade Stalin was actively seeking some means to Solving the foreign affairs issue as soon as possible and preserving the strength of the troops is the only task at present.

In Zhukov's view, if he wants to solve the diplomatic issue and find a way out for himself and the 10,000+ soldiers, the only way is to negotiate with this difficult and mysterious Chinese in front of him, and there is no other way to go.

Zhukov guessed right. Before the Japanese took action on September [-], Stalin's strategy for solving the diplomatic issue was to "delay". With enough time, he could mobilize all military forces to break the Chinese Communist Party. The army's encirclement of Zhukov's troops was exchanged for the resolution of the diplomatic issue at the lowest cost.

This is Zhukov, who made Stalin spend his brains like this. If it were other generals, Stalin's absolutely tough attitude would be like cheating. If you want money, I will give it to you!But for Zhukov, he couldn't. From the series of battles Zhukov commanded, Stalin saw the hope of the Red Army's future, even though Zhukov was still defeated by Tang Qiuli.

If there were no opinions imposed on Zhukov by himself, the outcome of the diplomatic war would have been different. Based on this alone, Stalin would not have given up on Zhukov.

At this point, I have to admire Stalin's vision and see Zhukov's potential military command ability. The history back proves that Stalin did not misunderstand Zhukov. When soldiers approached the city of Moscow, Zhukov acted as Stalin's firefighting captain when he was ordered and embarrassed.

Where the battle situation was most critical, Stalin sent Zhukov there. Zhukov did not live up to Stalin's high expectations, and saved himself from danger many times. total victory in the war.

From this point of view, Tang Qiuli, who has been a man for two generations, understands Zhukov's position in Stalin's mind better than Stalin and even Zhukov himself. Using him as a hostage does not worry that the Soviets will not cut their flesh. The so-called "exotic goods can live", Tang Qiu From using Zhukov and 10,000+ Soviet soldiers as bargaining chips for negotiating with Stalin, this treasure is sure to make money.

It should be said that Stalin's strategy was correct. Without the sudden attack of the Japanese in the Far East, Tang Qiuli would not have been able to afford it. Stalin's position, at this time, Stalin almost completely understood that this war should be operated by Tang Qiuli behind the scenes. [

Maybe the Japanese know this too, but this war is what the Japanese need. Tang Qiuli just lit the fuse. The Chinese hate it to the bone. If there is a chance, Stalin would like to throw the whole country's soldiers and smash this hateful Chinese to pieces.

But right now there is no such possibility. The Soviet army has so much wealth in the Far East. The European troops dare not be transferred to the Far East. Weighing the pros and cons, Stalin no longer hesitates, and if he hesitates any longer, Zhukov and 10,000+ If the soldiers cannot keep it, the Far East will eventually fall into the hands of the Japanese.

He had no choice but to choose to compromise with Tang Qiuli, the Chinese who had become his nightmare, and devote all his energy to dealing with the Communists who had the upper hand in the Far East. It was not easy for this strongman to bow his head. Timoshenko, commander and political commissar of the Second Far East Army, sent urgent telegrams several times a day.

"The General Staff was transferred to Comrade Stalin. Since the Kwantung Army launched a large-scale attack on the Far East on September [-], on the first day of the war, almost all important towns and military points in the Far East were lost, and the local garrison was completely lost. Our Second Army troops , is relying on the defense lines of the Ula River and the Daobi River, and is defending the Arsenyev area. The situation is extremely critical. The main force of the Kwantung Army is almost all pressed in this direction. As of September [-], within seven days, our troops suffered casualties The number has reached more than [-], and we request that reinforcements be sent quickly."

This is Timoshenko's request for help. As he said, the Arsenyev area, where the Second Far East Army is firmly defending, is like a huge magnet, attracting almost all the troops of the Kwantung Army, and locusts swarmed in. , the pressure Timoshenko was under can be imagined.

Looking at Timoshenko's telegram, Stalin believed that all of this was true. Timoshenko, like Zhukov, was not a guy who would easily admit defeat. If it was not a last resort or the situation was very critical, they would not send such a plea for help. Telegram.

It's time to make up your mind. Stalin put down Timoshenko's telegram, called Molotov over, and said in a solemn tone: "Comrade Molotov, the Politburo has decided that you will be the head of the delegation to form a foreign army." The delegation negotiating with Tang Qiuli, give that damn Chinese what he wants, as long as it is not beyond our tolerance, remember, the sole purpose is to save the lives of Comrade Zhukov and 10,000+ Red Army soldiers.”

From Stalin's tone, Molotov could hear the hatred engraved in Naihe's bones. Why was he not like this? Stalin decided to compromise with Tang Qiuli, hoping to end this nightmare. However, the veteran politician Stalin , Never thought that this was just the beginning of dealing with Tang Qiuli, and the incident that made him vomit blood was still to come!
