blood feud

Because the contents of a series of command designs are top secret in this era.Therefore, Bai Shujie ordered the internal security group to target the research institute and raise the security level to first-class first-class to strictly prevent leaks.

Bai Shujie was in a mess here, and the pace of time had quietly reached the end of July 1939, and the situation at Nuomenkan had deteriorated in an all-round way.

After General Zhukov was appointed as the commander of the 57th Special Army by the Soviet High Command, he implemented Stalin's policy of "controlling the situation as much as possible and not expanding it", and has not taken any major actions.

However, the little devil has always been arrogant and defiant.They actually repeated the mistakes of Zhang Xueliang's "Middle East Railway Incident" back then, and regarded the Soviet Red Army's tolerance as weak and deceitful.

After Konoe Fumimaro's cabinet meeting unified the pace of action, in line with the principle of "teaching the Soviets a lesson, so that they dare not peep at the south, end the disputes in the north as soon as possible, and then turn around and go south to manage the South Asian region", the little devil urgently Increase troops.

The "elites" such as Konoe Fumimaro, Itagaki Seishiro, Yamamoto 56, Okamura Neiji, and Umezu Yoshijiro all have an account in their hearts:

Yang Jingyu and Zhao Shangzhi in Manchuria, the Eighth Route Army in Rehe and North China, and Bai Shujie in North Korea are not good citizens of the empire.All of them are devils who want to attack people when they are in trouble.Ready to pounce at any time and bite the empire hard!

Therefore, the matter of Nuomenkan must be resolved quickly, and these devils must not be allowed to seize the opportunity.

According to this guiding ideology, by the end of June 1939, more than 6 members of the 23rd Division of the Little Devils had all arrived at the starting point of the attack. In addition, 84 tanks, 180 aircraft and 400 vehicles had been assembled in the Nuomenkan area. car.

According to the consensus reached at the cabinet meeting, Yoshijiro Umezu, the commander of the Kwantung Army, ordered the 23rd Division to launch a ground offensive as soon as possible to completely resolve the Nomenkan issue.

On July 7, under the command of Major General Kobayashi, the little devil attacked the west bank of the Halaha River with a force of 1, and captured the Sertaulagai Highland on the east bank of the river at noon.

The 23rd Division is a division-level unit of the triple team system formed in Kumamoto City last year, that is, April 1938, 4.The main reason for its establishment is that the fourth and sixth divisions were lost at the beginning of the war of aggression against China.Because of the need for law and order troops, one of the four vigilante divisions allowed by the government of the little devil.

Because after the entire army of the Sixth Division was wiped out, the North China battlefield was empty of troops.In order to cope with the war in the Yangtze River Basin, the Fourth Independent Cavalry Brigade stationed in Hailar (now part of Inner Mongolia) was ordered to be transferred to the Chinese battlefield.

As a substitute, the 23rd Division was sent to the northern border of the "Puppet Manchukuo" earlier this year to serve as a border guard after completing the initial training.

第23师团，师团长小松原道太郎，下辖步兵第64、第71、第72联队、第23侦查搜索联队（轻骑兵）、第13野炮联队（75mm野炮24门）、第23工兵联队、第23辎重联队，合计兵力22000余人。

According to the book, Bai Shujie once asked Belikov, the intelligence staff officer of Commander Chuikov of the Soviet Far East Army Command, to give him a head-on blow to the little devil, until he didn't even know his wife, and then he could be dealt with.

Because of this, Zhukov found that more than 6000 people came up at once, and he was not polite, and directly took out all 150 tanks, 154 armored vehicles, 90 cannons, all 124 aircraft, and the 57th special the full strength of the army.

Beginning at about 1939:7 p.m. on July 1, 6000, Zhukov ordered all bombers and fighters to dispatch in turn to continuously bombard the forward positions of the little devils, and did not launch a ground attack with them at all.After the bombing on this day, the little devil's attacking force of more than 2000 people only has less than [-] people left!

In the early morning of July 7, the little devil had just completed the replenishment of troops, and Zhukov ordered 2 80mm cannons to start shelling to continue to hit the morale of the little devil.

And it was four hours of shelling in one breath, which has never been seen in the history of little devils.As a result, more than 1000 troops were lost on this day, and the 23rd Division had basically lost its combat effectiveness.

On July 7, Zhukov ordered the air force to dispatch again. After a round of assault, 3 tanks and 150 armored vehicles rushed out.

The little devil finally saw the enemy, and it was only the last to see.Because behind the tanks and armor is the army unit of the 57th Special Army, overwhelming!

Zhukov taught the little devil a good lesson here: how to use armored forces!

仅仅三天时间，小鬼子的第23师团阵亡14000多人。第13野炮联队的24门火炮，没有打出一发炮弹就已经全军覆没！整个师团包括它的3个步兵联队长、6个步兵大队长、2个炮兵大队长全部阵亡！

The head of the division, Michitaro Komatsuhara, was recalled to the island by the Minister of War, Seishiro Itagaki, before a court-martial.Whether it is dead or alive is currently unknown.

Zhukov won the first battle, which finally gave him time to adjust his deployment.But the little devil loves saving face the most, this time when he just met, he was sent to most of the divisions, and he felt so aggrieved to death.

In a fit of anger, Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander of the Kwantung Army, directly gave up the pressure on North Korea, leaving only one wing of the 1st Division in Andong, and all the remaining three wings were transferred to the Nomonkan line.

At the same time, the little devil urgently dispatched the 7th and 14th divisions to go north. A large force of more than 5 people divided into three groups to attack Nuomenkan.

Zhukov realized that he was in danger, so he sent an urgent telegram to Moscow, requesting more reinforcements, otherwise the Nomonkan forward position would not be able to be preserved.

Stalin did not move slowly, and soon ordered the formation of the 1st Army, including:

苏军集结第1集团军（6万余人，辖3个步兵师，即第57师、第82师、第152师）；摩托化第36师，机械化第5旅，装甲第7旅、第8旅、第9旅；

坦克第6旅、第7旅、第11旅，；空降第212旅、机枪第5旅、炮兵第185团；反坦克炮第37、85营，第63、66、150防空营等其他部队；外蒙骑兵第6师、骑兵第8师等部队，共计机械化大军10万余人。

However, Siberia's long railway transportation line, coupled with the speed of the train is only 32 kilometers per hour, it will take time to deliver the troops to Zhukov.The so-called distant water is difficult to put out near fire, nothing more than that.

At present, the only reinforcement that can be mobilized, that is, Cuikov's 59th Special Army in Shuangchengzi (Ussuriysk), is the closest to Zhukov!

However, Cuikov's 59th Special Army needs to keep an eye on the little devil's 19th Division.If the little devil finds that Shuangchengzi is empty and the 19th Division takes advantage of it, the Pacific Fleet base in Vladivostok will be lost!

In order to draw Chuikov's 59th Special Army, someone must watch over the kid's 19th Division.It was at this juncture that Chuikov's intelligence staff officer, Major Belikov, came to Pyongyang secretly.

After listening to Belikov's introduction, Bai Shujie immediately asked: "Comrade Belikov, if I understand correctly, the two battleships that Comrade Stalin promised to build for us will be outfitted in Vladivostok, right?"

"Comrade Commander, your understanding is absolutely correct!" Belikov nodded and said: "Because of the long distance, there are still many international problems. So Comrade Stalin ordered the Ukrainian shipyard to produce components and then transport them to Vladivore by rail Stoke (Vladivostok) shipyard for assembly and welding."

"From April this year, Comrade Stalin ordered to speed up the progress of the project, so it was launched at the end of May, and the outfitting work is now nearing completion. However, due to time constraints, we can only complete the construction of two aircraft carriers and two battleships at the same time." installation of guns and general communications equipment.”

Bai Shujie suddenly understood: Why the hell did you start to speed up the progress at the end of April?Didn't Wang Xinlan give another 1800 million US dollars in cash before Stalin ordered it!

However, since they have completed the basic things, the $3300 million and medicines are well spent.So Bai Shujie nodded and said, "Very well, thank you Comrade Stalin for helping us! Then, Comrade Belikov, what problems do you have this time?"

Belikov smiled and said: "Comrade Chuikov hopes that you will send people over there as soon as possible, and bring the warship back as soon as possible. After all, it is easy to cause unreasonable speculation by others in Vladivostok, and it is difficult for us to handle and keep it."

I hope I send troops to contain the little devil, so just say it, why play this kind of word game!

Bai Shujie despised that guy Cui Kefu very much: ****!Let me send someone to bring back the four warships, it's so simple!

If you want to enter Vladivostok, you have to go all the way through Hamhung, Tanchon, Seongjin, Ronan, and Rajin, and get rid of the 19th Division and the fortress headquarters of the little devil in one pot!

Bai Shujie knew that since people talked about this, the battle could not be avoided.If the warship cannot be brought back in the past, the "great and wise" Comrade Stalin will definitely never send the warship over again.

In other words, if I don't send troops quickly this time, I will never want the four warships.All of the more than 3300 million U.S. dollars invested in the previous one will be in vain.

What is political blackmail?Look at the means of other Soviet politicians, that is called clever!You are not allowed to express your thanks after you have suffered a dumb loss.

After thinking about it in his heart, Bai Shujie finally said: "Comrade Belikov, please go back and tell Comrade Chuikov, asking him to order the four warships to be moved to Posiet Bay. Today is July 1939, 7, my Comrades will rush to Posiette Bay before August 26."

"I know Comrade Chuikov's concerns, so we will attack the four warships and then rob them back. Of course, you need to issue a statement of condemnation, and we will refute it, and then let it go."

"My comrades will bring 500 million antibiotics to support the Soviet comrades who are fighting bravely in Nomenkan. I hope that you can completely break the wolf ambition of the little devil under the wise leadership of Comrade Stalin!"

Belikov got Bai Shujie's guarantee and naturally left happily.

Bai Shujie didn't dare to neglect, he had to act now.Because in the next 20 days, or even longer, the entire Korean peninsula will be a human flesh mill full of flames of war and blood!

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
