Age of Rebirth

Chapter 880

The Soviet-Japanese Far East War, which lasted nearly three months, was finally settled. In this battle, the Soviet Union and Japan mobilized a total of more than 100 million troops to fight fiercely in the Soviet Far East. The war started from Ussuriysk on the coast of the Sea of ​​Japan, Burned all the way to the alpine lands of Siberia.

In terms of the comprehensive results of the war, both the Soviet Union and Japan had their own winners and losers. The Soviet side suffered even greater losses. The Second Soviet Far East Army under the command of Admiral Timoshenko was severely damaged, with more than [-] casualties. The army was annihilated and lost all the land from Haishanwei to Waixing'anling, although it was snatched by Tsarist Russia from China.

The Japanese Kwantung Army suffered more than 20 casualties, and its aviation losses exceeded that of the Soviet Union. This battle also exposed the fatal weaknesses of the Japanese army in terms of equipment and command art of senior commanders. On the surface, the Japanese achieved their goals, and according to their wishes , occupied most of the land of the Soviet Union in the Far East.

The result of this battle is definitely not what Japan’s domestic newspapers boasted to ordinary citizens. The Imperial Japanese Army marched all the way, the Soviet Russian Army retreated steadily, and the empire increased its land area by several square kilometers. The actual inside story, Japanese Emperor Hirohito and those in the headquarters The senior generals knew it well. [

Before and after, the Kwantung Army lost more than 38 troops. These troops and soldiers were reorganized and trained first-class divisions after experiencing the fiasco of Niuxinshan. It was consumed, and although there was an emergency replenishment of troops, the current combat strength of the Kwantung Army is far from the praise of the "Army of the Army".

This kind of victory came a bit bitterly. With the current strength of the Kwantung Army, at least for a year and a half, they dare not challenge Tang Qiuli's independent division troops occupying the Jinzhou area in western Liaoning. , had to pay ten tons of gold and a large amount of industrial equipment to the mortal enemy of the empire, Tang Qiuli, the devil of China.

Begging for peace from their enemies, from Emperor Hirohito to all the senior generals in the base camp, there is a fire of fame in their stomachs, just like being slapped in the back when they are enjoying a "peeing" , interrupted the feeling of normal excretion, this kind of victory is like a strange-flavored bean, it is a bit sweet at first taste, but after a closer taste, it also has a bitter and sour taste, followed by a spicy and uncomfortable feeling in the stomach .

And the biggest winner of this war is none other than Tang Qiuli. The Kwantung Army and the Soviet Army are confronting each other on the outer Xing'an Mountains. , The Kwantung Army's defensive strength is extremely weak, and Liu Tiehan's East Pointing troops can launch an attack at any time.

What is even more beneficial is that the Kwantung Army did not dare to easily launch a new offensive against the western Liaoning and North China regions. , at least a year of relatively balanced and stable situation.

Tang Qiuli can free up his hands to arrange other work, as well as the ten tons of hard currency gold, [-] sets of oil mining equipment, and [-] sets of secret secrets, so the ultimate beneficiary of this war is Tang Qiuli, although after the war in the Far East, the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Stalin, and Emperor Hirohito of Japan believed that the devil of China and China Lai Tangqiuli were behind the Soviet-Japanese war, but everything has become a fact, the Soviet Union With the Japanese, there is no possibility of making peace anymore, knock out your teeth and swallow it in your stomach, and consider yourself unlucky.

Everything is under control. Tang Qiuli is absolutely satisfied with the current strategic layout of the Northeast and the Far East. This can be seen in his joyful mood in the telegram to Liu Tiehan, "Brother Tiehan, I am glad to hear that the Japanese have come up with more [-] kilograms of gold, my brother's attack is really fierce, the strategic pattern of entering the Northeast is certain, and the independent division has gained a lot of financial resources, it is all due to my brother's contribution, I am calling to reward."

Liu Tiehan was not as excited as Tang Qiuli. It was always his regret not to take advantage of the inextricable fighting between the Soviets and the Japanese to regain the entire Northeast. The knot in his heart was not so easy to untie, so he The call back to Tang Qiuli was much more ordinary.

"Master Xun Jian, the battle in the Northeast, firstly, the division commander was in place to predict the enemy's opportunities, and secondly, I directed the more than [-] soldiers in the east to use their lives to fight on the battlefield. " Tang Qiuli received Liu Tiehan's call back, and after reading the telegram, he was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.

In Liu Tiehan's heart, he didn't seem very happy, he seemed full of resentment, he wasn't like this before, is this guy that evil fire?I wanted to go to the front line of Jinzhou to have a chat with Liu Tiehan face to face to understand his actual thoughts, but time did not allow it, German Ambassador to China Feng.Earl Strand, another telegram.

The German head of state seemed to be impatient, so Tang Qiuli had no choice but to suppress the matter and concentrate on preparing for the visit to Germany. He only brought Mei Xue, director of communications Chen Feng, Shan Hu and 28 special guards, After confirming the people who would accompany him on the trip, Tang Qiuli locked himself in the room and began to prepare some necessary materials.

Then, he sent telegrams to the commanders of each corps, informing him of his visit to Germany, and made corresponding arrangements, especially Liu Tiehan on the front line of Jinzhou in Northeast China, Sun Zhenbang of the Outer Ancient Frontier Army, and Sulu Mobile stationed in Xuzhou. Corps Commander Tang Qiusheng, Fleet Commander Tang Qiuquan of Qingdao Naval Base, Marine Corps Commander Han Tie and others.

During the visit to Germany, the directly subordinate corps was fully commanded by Chief of Staff Chang Feng, and the troops returned to the North Plain. Feng Jiwu’s Niangziguan Garrison Corps went south to Wuhan to serve as a strategic reserve in central China. Tang Qiuli’s main purpose for doing so Yes, during my visit to Germany, the Japanese took actions along the southeast coast.

This is a matter within his scope of authority. It needs to be reported to the Military Commission of the Chongqing Nationalist Government. The Japanese dare not do anything in the north. The southeast coast and South China are likely to be the next targets chosen by the Japanese. For the aggressive The Japanese, Tang Qiuli never dared to take it lightly, and must take precautions.

In the blink of an eye, after a few days of busy work, everything that should be prepared and arranged has been completed, and the date of departure is just short of being finalized. The source of the war is the wartime capital, Chongqing, a mountain city in the southwest.

There are many versions of the rumors in the market, except for one thing. He is known as the anti-Japanese hero and the mainstay of the northern anti-Japanese battlefield. He is currently the vice chairman of the Military Committee of the Nationalist Government, the director of the Nanjing camp, and the second-level general of the army who is the commander of the North China Independent Division. Tang Qiuli reached a secret settlement with the Japanese. After accepting a large amount of gold from the Japanese, he planned to recognize the legalization of Japan’s occupation of Northeast China and recognized that Manchukuo was an independent country. Withdrew inside the pass.

It should be said that such rumors are very naive and too childish. Tang Qiuli led his army to fight the Japanese for six years, fighting from the northeast to the north of China. There is no possibility of reconciliation at all, and the recovery of North China and the outer ancient regions one after another, how can we lose the basic principles of life and national integrity just because of some gold and property?

But when it comes to the rapid rise of the second person in the Republic of China, Tang Qiuli, who is in the limelight and strength, is not so simple as the leader of Generalissimo Jiang. It gives people enough room for imagination. The rumors in the market are not credible. Because of the wise man, Tang Qiuli didn't take it seriously after receiving the rumored information from the Chongqing Intelligence Station from the intelligence office.

However, the development of the situation did not fend for itself because Tang Qiuli ignored it. On the contrary, it spread more and more violently. At first, it was only spread in the market. Many questions have been raised, and the whole thing seems to have a behind-the-scenes manipulator who is fueling the flames and making things bigger and better. [

Immediately, some seemingly professional people wrote articles in newspapers to demonstrate the possibility of this matter. The only basis was why Tang Qiuli did not recover the Northeast region when he had the opportunity, ability, and strength. Instead, they withdrew their troops from the recovered Liaodong Peninsula and Fengtian.

The people who wrote these articles are very knowledgeable about military affairs. They acted out the war that took place in Northeast China between September and December as if it were a real scene. lng, Tang Qiuli was in Dingbian's office, frowning as he watched the information directly sent by the Chongqing intelligence station.

Up to now, Tang Qiuli himself does not believe that the important military officials of the Chongqing Nationalist Government did not have the hands. There will never be such a wealth of military knowledge, nor can such a lethal article be written.

The situation is getting worse and worse. The major mainstream newspapers in the country are gradually becoming sharper, and there are constant voices of doubt. They unanimously demand that Vice Chairman Tang give an explanation to the public in order to relieve the hearts of the people. Tang Qiuli was brought to the forefront of the trend. The supervisory committee members of the government of the Republic of China stood up and asked Tang Qiuli to go to the Chongqing supervisory committee and give a reasonable explanation.

What's even more strange is that none of the supervisory committee members who stood up were from the Communist Party of China, and they were all respected members of the democratic parties. **** Those supervisory committee members, and their attitudes are so intense that they seem to be shouting and killing.

The government and military committee of the Republic of China remained surprisingly silent on this matter, neither came out to refute the rumors, nor participated in the debate. However, General Zhang Zhizhong, who was guarding the Songhu area, sent a telegram to comfort Tang Qiuli without worry.

With the development of the matter to the present level, Tang Qiuli also understood that this was a conspiracy against him, and the source of this conspiracy should be the Japanese. He had to delay the time of his visit to Germany again, and put all his energy into it. on solving this matter.
