Age of Rebirth

In the war in the Far East, the Japanese Kwantung Army caught the Soviets by surprise. After Zhukov’s First Far East Army was encircled by Tang Qiuli’s troops in the Uliasutai area, the Soviets saved Zhukov and 10,000 soldiers after paying a huge price. + After the lives of Soviet soldiers, the life of the Soviets in the Far East was never easy.

Now, Timoshenko’s Second Far East Army is surrounded by nearly 60 troops in the Arsenyev area under the command of General Kenkichi Ueda, the commander of the Kwantung Army. The situation is extremely critical. Stalin put the CPSU in charge of foreign affairs Molotov, looking for the fastest and most effective way to change Timoshenko's current situation.

Molotov knew the leader's intentions, and only the greedy Chinese Tang Qiuli possessed this ability. As long as he launched an offensive in the Northeast, the Kwantung Army troops would definitely mobilize in order to keep the invasion base that had been operating for many years. Troops returned to aid the Northeast. In this way, the pressure on Timoshenko would be greatly reduced.

Although Stalin and Molotov did not know that this was the most typical tactic in the ancient Chinese art of war, "encircling Wei and saving Zhao", they instinctively chose this method, although this method was helpless for the Soviets and Stalin , the last choice, and the only choice at present.

Stalin knew that as soon as Zhukov’s Far Eastern Front Army was formed, more than 40 troops would be sent to the Far Eastern region, changing the pattern and situation of the Far Eastern region, and curbing the crazy Japanese attack. But it takes time, and time is the most fatal factor for Timoshenko. [

Faced with the Kwantung Army's siege from all sides, Timoshenko could last for a few days. Stalin knew that the Far Eastern Front Army would take a month at the fastest to go to the battlefield. The forested area of ​​Rovsk is also difficult to walk.

The Kamchatka Front Army, which could have been reinforced nearby, was suppressed by the Second Kwantung Army on the Kamchatka Peninsula. It is still difficult to protect itself. It can hold back 10,000+ Kwantung Army. It has done its best and cannot be expected to rescue Timoshen. Brother, Stalin had millions of soldiers, but he couldn't go to the battlefield in the Far East as quickly as possible, so he was very annoyed.

Extending a begging hand to the Chinese villain whom he has always hated so much, for Stalin, the strong Soviet strongman who lived his life, undoubtedly endured a huge humiliation. It was a hard stroke, not only he knew it, but also Molotov and all members of the Politburo of the Soviet Union knew it.

If there was no other way out, Stalin would never want his enemies to bow their heads. Timoshenko's Second Far East Army was no less important to the Soviet Union than Zhukov's First Far East Army. In this case, Stalin The only choice is to bow your head. This is the correct choice made by a seasoned politician when it comes to the fundamental interests of the country.

However, the sense of shame in Stalin's heart penetrated deep into his bones. Seeing Molotov's slightly hunched back disappearing at the end of the long corridor, Stalin sighed deeply, "My old comrade-in-arms, I can't help but Don't face it, the blackmailing Chinese, the pressure on him is no less than himself."

"Tang Qiuli, you will have to pay back a hundred times what the great Soviet has done today," Stalin gritted his teeth.

His heart was secretly ruthless, his light blue eyes radiated a gloomy cold light, like a wounded wolf, licking its wound while peeping at its wounded enemy, ready to pounce at any moment.

Before Molotov left Moscow, he sent a confidential telegram to the Soviet ambassador to China, Oveshinsky, "Comrade Oveshinsky, please contact Tang Qiuli, the number two man in China as quickly as possible, and arrange for me to meet with him." The meeting is extremely urgent and must be kept strictly confidential," he is now a special envoy of the Soviet Union, and the Soviets began to extend an olive branch to Tang Qiuli.

When he received the top-secret telegram from his immediate superior, Ambassador Oveshinsky did not dare to be negligent. He knew that the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs of the Soviet Union was very powerful, and speaking in front of Stalin would definitely work. It would delay his errand, and if he killed himself, he would be crushed to death. It's as simple as an ant. He inquired about Tang Qiuli's current location through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Not bad, I got a reply soon. Vice Chairman Tang is currently in Qingdao, Shandong. Therefore, the trembling Soviet ambassador entrusted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State Government to deliver a warm and humble telegram to Tang Qiuli, knowing that the Soviet Union The ambassador frantically looked for Tang Qiuli. Chairman Jiang, who was accompanying the capital, wondered in his heart, what kind of private deal did the Soviets have with Tang Qiuli?

To be honest, Generalissimo Jiang was more worried than happy about Tang Qiuli's recovery of Outer Mongolia. From what he did in Outer Mongolia, it can be seen that this person's ambition already has the capital to rival him, and the large amount of equipment and strategic materials obtained from the Soviets is even more powerful.

In the early winter of 4, Generalissimo Jiang had two very uncomfortable concerns. One was Tang Qiuli, the de facto king of the north, who was growing uncontrollably. According to Dai Li’s information, the eighth route army of Tianfa has grown from only [-] people in the first three divisions to nearly [-] people. It has more than doubled in size in just over a year. How is it?

Thinking about Generalissimo Jiang's heart, Tang Qiuli didn't know what he was thinking, and let the CCP grow stronger in his own territory, "Mother Xipi, let Tang Qiuli and the CCP fight the Japanese. , I can't throw away all my money," Generalissimo Jiang thought bitterly.

Through Chen Cheng, chief of staff of the Nanjing Camp, the former enemy commander of the Military Commission, Chairman Jiang gradually transferred his direct troops to the southwest area. In name, they were training in rotation, but in fact they were preserving their strength. He also knew that such a large-scale mobilization of troops would definitely Unable to hide it from Yong Qiuli's eyeliners who had been planted in the camp, they simply did it with great fanfare.

Only Zhang Zhizhong's troops were left in Shanghai. This was his money bag, and he was reluctant to throw it away. The other Central Army troops were transferred to the west. Tang Qiuli was in Qingdao. I don't know what Chairman Jiang is thinking. The intention of mobilizing troops in this way is well known, but they also pretend not to know. Without the Central Army troops, they can save a lot of trouble if they go to war with the Japanese.

After receiving the telegram from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State Government, Tang Qiuli was taken aback for a moment at first, and then he understood Stalin's intentions. Tang Qiuli knew everything about the war in the Far East. Through the local intelligence network of the Independent Division, he would answer Arrived, detailed information about the situation of the campaign.

The Soviets couldn't bear it any longer. They thought of themselves and wanted to do something in the Northeast by themselves to bring back the Japanese troops. It was also strange. They just got a lot of benefits from the Soviets, and then they got the Pacific Fleet. Well, this time, the Soviet Union came to the door, could it be that he was determined by himself?

"It's not kind to be a man! This time, it's another lucrative deal," Tang Qiuli shook his head thinking, even though he thought so, he would never soften his heart when he started. "Call back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I will Fly to Chongqing three days later to meet with the Soviet special envoy," he ordered his staff to arrive.

The Soviets were on fire, and Tang Qiuli was not in a hurry. The fire has not yet arrived, and Brother Timoshen can support it for a few days. It is good to delay this matter. Besides, Brother Qiuquan and the Pacific Fleet will have another day and night. In time, he arrived at Qingdao Military Port. This is his first fleet, so he had to make a big scene and go to the dock to meet him in person. [

The Soviets wanted Tang Qiuli, Chairman Jiang was worried about Tang Qiuli's power, and the Japanese were not idle either. In Tokyo, Japan, in the Emperor's Palace, Emperor Hirohito watched the battle report of Kwantung Army Commander Kenkichi Ueda, and again I lingered in front of the military map of Manchuria for a long time, and while reading it, I muttered from time to time, "To the west, it's great!"

Suddenly, the body swayed, his face turned pale, and the beads of sweat on his forehead came down. The Minister of War, General Bin Shanyuan, who was accompanying him, hurriedly supported the emperor's body, thinking that His Majesty had a heart attack or a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and hurriedly called the imperial doctor, Hirohito A wave of his hand stopped Bin Shanyuan's panic.

Bin Shanyuan was at a loss. Your Majesty, who was still fine just now, how could he look like a dead father, mother, and father in the blink of an eye, with a mournful face, even if Liangzi and Queen were gang-raped, it couldn't be like this?He tried his best to see the clues from Yuren's face, but he couldn't see anything except his pale face and eyes like dead fish.

"Ai Qing, you'll know when you go to the map and take a look,"

Yuren said vigorously, Bin Shanyuan is short-sighted, almost put his face on the map, after a while, as if stung by a scorpion, he took a few steps back, almost fell, turned around, his face was already sallow, There was cold sweat on his forehead, and his palms were cold, as if his blood had been drained.

Bin Shanyuan is not a mediocre person. From the military map, he found the reason why His Majesty the Emperor lost his temper. Judging from the deployment of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria, there are only less than 20 troops in the huge Manchuria, and they are all second-rate The local garrison and the elite units of the Kwantung Army were all transferred to the Far East battlefield by Ueda Kenkichi to fight the Soviets to death.

From Ueda Kenji to other senior generals of the Kwantung Army, they all ignored a tiger squatting beside them, that is Tang Qiuli's more than 30 elite troops on the front line of Jinzhou in western Liaoning. The Soviets took the opportunity of a bloody battle and launched an offensive, with disastrous consequences.

Even with the back of his head, Bin Shanyuan could think of serious consequences. With less than 20 second-rate troops of the Kwantung Army, it is absolutely impossible to resist Tang Qiuli's 30 tiger and wolf division. In less than two days, Fengtian will fall, and then Down is the Liaodong Peninsula, and then South Manchuria and North Manchuria.

Bin Shanyuan stayed there, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
