Glorious Mission 1937

Regarding the neutrality treaty signed by the Soviet Union and Japan this time, Chen Feng can only say that what should come will come after all, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.Even so, I am still quite dissatisfied with the treaty signed by the Soviet Union and Japan, because some of the contents in it are really unacceptable, especially the fact that the Soviet Union announced the recognition of "Manchukuo" and Japan's interests in North China. A grave insult and betrayal of the Soviet Nonaggression Pact.

Moreover, in order not to offend the Japanese, the Soviet Union began to reduce its support to China after the Soviet-German War broke out after the signing of the treaty. At the same time, it withdrew its volunteer pilots in China, depriving China of an important source of war materials.This was a very heavy blow to the Chinese people who were fighting bloody battles with the Japanese invaders.

In addition, after the Soviet Union and Japan signed the neutrality treaty, the Chinese government, which lost the motherland of the Soviet Union, ushered in a more serious national crisis after all.The pro-Japanese faction will definitely not miss this excellent opportunity, and will definitely spread the fallacy that resistance to Japan must die, and they will even openly take refuge in the Japanese invaders.In fact, this is also true. During this period of time in history, there were 58 senior Kuomintang generals who defected to the enemy and treason, more than 20 members of the Kuomintang Central Committee under the vice president, and as many as 50 troops who defected to the enemy, accounting for 62% of the total number of puppet troops. % .Therefore, it can be seen how harmful the "Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Treaty" was, and its appearance greatly exacerbated the difficult situation of China's war of resistance.

These were things Chen Feng didn't want to see, so he thought it necessary to stand up and clarify his position. Even if it didn't help the situation fundamentally, it could be seen by the people of the country.The Chinese will not bow down to the enemy because of the loss of an unreliable ally.

Regarding this peace talks between the Soviet Union and Japan, Chen Feng was angry but also a little excited. Don't mention the reason for the anger, it has already been clearly stated above.As for the little excitement in Chen Feng's heart, it is also conceivable. Chen Feng has always been worried that his appearance will cause Japan to change its established strategy, instead of developing southward, it will adopt a northward strategy. It is a disaster for the world.

Many people say that whether Japan goes south or north, the final result is still the same.After all, Japan's national strength lies there.No matter how powerful a python is, it is impossible to swallow an elephant.Not to mention the domestic and international situation at that time.Going south is the best option in Japan.

Starting from reality, if Japan wants to attack the Soviet Union, it must first consider the attack route. Considering geographical and other factors, Japan may have three offensive routes: First, starting from Northeast China, Japan can attack the Far East of the Soviet Union.The targets will be the Outer Xing'an Mountains and the Siberia region of the Soviet Union.But the area is sparsely populated.Large areas are barren land, with little strategic and economic value, and it is extremely difficult to attack the European part of the Soviet Union from here.

Another route is to attack the Soviet Union from Mongolia.But Japan has hit a wall here, and it is not realistic to go here. After all, there are millions of Soviet troops guarding here, so it is not easy to pass.But this is the most reasonable route. It is either too far or too difficult to go from other places. If you want to consider fighter jets, this, this is the best choice, but Japan will not easily choose this place.

It is a very reasonable route, but there are more problems. To go from China's Hexi Corridor to Xinjiang, and then attack the Soviet Union, it will take more effort, and the geography is also complicated, and the climate is extremely harsh. More importantly, the Yellow River is a very dangerous natural barrier. Difficult obstacle to overcome.

At this time, China's war of resistance has entered a stalemate stage. The Japanese army's overall attack on the Kuomintang has stopped, and it has begun a partial attack and wiped out the Communist guerrillas in the enemy's rear. The war against China seems to be far away and extremely difficult. Under this situation, if Japan must go north to attack the Soviet Union, it must mobilize a large number of troops to go north, which will create a emptiness on the Chinese battlefield, and Japan is unwilling to see this situation.

As for China, the Kuomintang suffered heavy losses by Japan in the early days of the War of Resistance. If Japan really went north, the Kuomintang would stop to take a breath and join the Communist Party.The Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party is different. In places where the Japanese army is empty, they will take the opportunity to vigorously develop their troops, regain lost ground, and lead the war to the areas ruled by Japan. armed forces.

Therefore, if Japan attacks the Soviet Union, no matter which way it takes, it will face the powerful Soviet Far East Army.When talking about the reasons why the Kuomintang cannot defeat Japan, they always use the excuse of responsibility for the failure to say that the weapons and firepower are not as good as the Japanese army. The Communist Party often says that the firepower of a division of the Japanese army exceeds the level of an army of the Japanese army. However, if the Japanese army faces the Soviet army And what will happen.

There is nothing wrong with this point of view, but Chen Feng himself does not quite agree with it, because war is not just about considering these issues. In fact, if Japan declares war on the Soviet Union after Germany declares war on the Soviet Union, then the Soviet Union will undoubtedly lose.As for the reason, it is very simple, not from the war itself, but from psychological pressure.

If Japan does attack the Soviet Union, the situation facing the Soviet Union will be the same as that faced by France after the German attack.Germany attacked France, and the Anglo-French coalition forces were defeated in one battle. They suffered heavy losses and completely lost their strategic initiative. When France was about to lose, Italy stabbed in the back. Italy declared war on France and crossed the Alps to attack France. Only Italy The Italian army was very incompetent and could not play any role at all. The Italian army of 32 divisions could not advance under the blocking of the French army of 4 divisions.

Although France blocked the Italian army, Italy's participation in the war still made the French feel that the situation was over. Under the circumstances of internal and external difficulties, the French could only despair. It can be said that Italy's participation in the war eventually led to France's surrender.And if Japan chooses to go north, Japan may play this role. If Japan attacks the Soviet Union at that time, it is likely to push the Soviet Union to a point of despair. Although the Soviet Union is a far tougher country than the French, Stalin is also stronger than the French government. The head is much tougher.

Throughout World War II, several turning points can be found, the most eye-catching and influential one being the Battle of Moscow.The reason why the Soviet Union was able to win this battle was to face up to the impact of Japan's southward strategy on the Battle of Moscow. It can be said that Japan's southward strategy made the Soviet Union's Battle of Moscow.

It is said that at the end of 1941, Stalin, who was anxious about the war situation, suddenly received a piece of information. Stalin's secretary only said one sentence, Sorge's information, and withdrew.Just as Stalin was about to light a pipe with a match, when he heard that it was Sorge’s information, he immediately put down the matches and pipe in his hand, opened the folder, and looked. War against the Soviet Union by autumn 1942."

The sender of this information was the Soviet spy Sorge. After he sent this information, he was arrested. This information became the last word of a great spy. This information is so important that some people listed Sorge as The greatest spy in the history of espionage in the world, and his intelligence undoubtedly saved the deteriorating Soviet-German battlefield, became a turning point in the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War, and more likely saved the entire form of World War II.

After Stalin learned that Japan would not attack the Soviet Union, he immediately transferred the Siberian division deployed on the Eastern Front back to the Moscow front. For an exhausted opponent, the outcome will only depend on which side gets the backup first. The arrival of several Siberian divisions has fundamentally reversed the situation on the battlefield, and the battle situation has begun to be unfavorable to Germany.Then the Soviet army began to launch a counterattack in Moscow, which dealt a major blow to the German army. The Soviet army began to take the initiative in the war on the battlefield, and ultimately doomed Hitler's failure. It can be said that the demise of the Nazis began in Moscow.

Chen Feng has always been worried that if Japan chooses to go north instead of going south as it did in history, history will likely be rewritten, and China will also fall into a greater crisis. Therefore, Chen Feng is angry at the fact that the Soviet Union and Japan signed the neutrality treaty itself. At the same time, I have to feel lucky and secretly happy about the meaning behind the signing of this treaty.

Now that Japan has reached a neutrality agreement with the Soviet Union, it means that Japan will not fight to the death with the Soviet Union. We must pay attention to the efforts and costs Japan has made in order to make the Soviet Union neutral during the war, and it will not hesitate to give up many benefits for this.This shows that the Japanese government attaches great importance to the Soviet Union and expects the two countries to strictly abide by the neutrality treaty.

Behind this means that Japan is mentally ready to go south, and even prepares to go to war with the United States, Britain, Holland, France and other countries. This is rare good news for China.As long as Japan dares to take this step, the time for Japan's demise will not be far away.

Chen Feng was looking forward to it, and even more secretly preparing, he was looking forward to Japan's final madness, and he was also preparing how to deal with the next battle.Although the meaning behind the peace agreement between the Soviet Union and Japan is profound, and the confidence revealed is gratifying, but after all, in terms of the current situation, the negative impact of this incident on China is far greater than the positive. The situation will have a far-reaching impact, and at the same time, it will be shocking every step of the way.

Since the Soviet Union decided to make peace with Japan, it means that the Soviet Union intends to sacrifice China's interests, which means that the Soviet Union will reconsider or have already considered how to deal with the entire relationship with China, including the Eighth Theater.The reduction of aid is only one aspect, and the withdrawal of volunteer pilots to aid China is just a routine matter, and it is not known whether to completely cut off the trade between China and the Soviet Union.What Chen Feng is most concerned about now is how the Soviet Union plans to deal with his relationship with Mr. Chen, and how to deal with the Tyumen Oilfield. You must know that it is only half a month before Yehelina and others go to Tyumen. (To be continued..)
