Because of Zhao Lijun's incident, Zhang Minghui deeply realized that during the whole nation's war of resistance, there are still people who have other calculations. Is it because I am too simple, or other people's ideas are too much!

Zhao Lijun told the truth of the matter, and Chiang Kai-shek panicked, because Zhang Minghui's revenge was too scary!But this time Zhang Minghui figured it out, this time is not suitable for civil war!

It didn't take long before the warships from the United States arrived. Li Yan received them immediately, and the first batch of trainees also boarded the warships. The pilots of Zhang Minghui's department also showed results. If you are mature, then you will be able to fight the three-way battle by sea, land and air, and drive away the little devils just around the corner!

Because of the repeated failures in the Chinese battlefield, the little devils have disagreements about the next battle plan!

At that time, there were indeed two strategic plans for going north and going south in Japan, and the debate was extremely fierce.

The advantage of going north is that it can form a pincer attack with Germany. The disadvantage is that occupying the ice and snow of Siberia (the oil and gas resources have not been developed at that time) will not improve Japan's strategic situation. The Japanese Army, especially the Kwantung Army, prefers this plan because it is based on They dominate.

The advantage of the southward plan is that occupying Southeast Asia can obtain strategic resources such as oil that Japan urgently needs. The disadvantage is that it will not directly help the situation in the main battlefield in Europe. The Japanese navy prefers this plan because it mainly relies on naval warfare.

In the end it was technical feasibility that ended the debate.The Kwantung Army fought two local wars with the Soviet Army at Zhanggufeng and Nuomenkan. Under the command of Zhukov, the Soviet army defeated the Japanese army at Nomenkan, showing the Soviet army's dual advantages in equipment and tactics.

Before the war broke out, the Japanese authorities in Tokyo were still arguing over the strategy of "advancing north" and "advancing south".The northward plan is to launch an offensive by the army to Siberia, the Soviet Union, with the goal of attacking the area around Lake Baikal.The southward plan is based on the navy to seize the resources of Southeast Asia (especially the oil in Dutch Indonesia).The failure of the Battle of Nomonhan shows that the strength of the Soviet Red Army is still quite strong for the Japanese Army.To a certain extent, the Battle of Nomonhan led Japan to adopt the strategic goal of going south, which eventually led to Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the declaration of war on the United States, and its final defeat two years later.

In the Battle of Nomonhan, Zhukov commanded the armored troops to win the first victory in mobile warfare and was awarded the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union".The Soviet government received intelligence, including spy Richard Sorge, about Japan's southward advance, so it should not immediately launch another offensive against Siberia.The Soviet army was then transferred to Europe; in December 1941, Zhukov commanded the Siberian troops to successfully launch a counterattack to defeat the German army in the Moscow Defense War.

From a political point of view, this battle not only dealt a heavy blow to the aggressive arrogance of Japanese militarism in the early days of World War II, but also forced Japan to change its national policy of "going north" to invade the Soviet Union to "go south" to attack the United States. Due to the unfavorable situation of fighting on the two fronts of Japan and Japan, we can concentrate our efforts to attack German fascism.During the Battle of Moscow, the Soviet Union and Germany were desperately fighting for power. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Soviet Union took the time to transfer [-] Asian divisions on the Far East border to Europe, which dealt a fatal blow to the German army and reversed the reaction on the European battlefield and even the world. The situation on the fascist battlefield, without the battle of Nomonhan, Stalin would never have dared to take such a risk.In addition, during the Nomonhan War, our country’s war of resistance entered the most difficult period. This war made the Japanese army’s plan to increase its troops in the pass impossible to realize for a while, and strongly supported the Chinese people’s resistance to Japanese imperialist aggression.After the Nomonhan War, the always arrogant Japanese army had a psychological barrier to the Soviet army. Japan basically lost its will to fight the Soviet Union again. Tokyo finally decided to turn its guns to attack Britain and the United States. It dragged down the water, causing a fundamental change in the balance of power, and finally Japan was defeated in the Asia-Pacific battlefield.It can be said that the Nomonhan War was the most exciting foreshadowing in the early days of World War II.

From a military point of view, the Soviet Union tested various new equipment of the Army and Air Force through this battle, tempered the newly promoted young officers after the "Great Purge", and also improved the morale that had been sluggish.In particular, a generation of famous general Zhukov was discovered, and he reserved handsome talents for the upcoming Great Patriotic War (Zhukov later participated in commanding almost all major battles on the Soviet-German battlefield, and he was always able to save the day. He was known as "the firefighter on the Soviet-German battlefield" , and Zhukov's battle of fame was the Nomonhan War).The Soviet army also implemented airborne operations for the first time in this campaign, used the tactics of "offensive defense" and "high light at night" for the first time, adopted electronic interference warfare and psychological warfare for the first time, and the logistics department also created ultra-long-distance continuous supply. wonder of the world.All of these were widely adopted in the subsequent Great Patriotic War, which dealt a heavy blow to German fascism.

The Kwantung Army, which advocated the strategy of going north, withered, so the plan for going south was passed. This is a wise choice for Japan.

Suppose, if the Japanese army chooses to go north, although the main force of the Soviet army is in Europe, the troops defending the Eastern Front still have considerable combat power to stop the Japanese army steadily.The level of mechanization of the Kwantung Army is not high, and there is a generational gap between the equipment and the Soviet Army. With the superiority of its troops, it is no problem to fight better than the threshold of the North. Logistical supplies could not support its penetration into the hinterland of Siberia.However, the strategic depth of the Soviet side is still very long, and there is a lot of room for exchanging land for time, which does not have much impact on the European battlefield.

The reason why I thought of this was that the Soviet side had sent someone to contact Zhang Minghui, and the Soviet side was willing to send troops to the Northeast to help Zhang Minghui wipe out the little devils in China!

Of course, Zhang Minghui would not mind the Soviet Union sending troops to the Northeast to help deal with Little Japan, but whether the Soviet side sent troops to the Northeast to wipe out the little devils, or to carve up the interests of the Northeast.

Zhang Minghui went straight and asked the liaison officer sent by Stalin about the request of the Soviet Union!

The Soviet Union wishes to:

1. After driving out the little devils, the status quo in Mongolia (Mongolian People's Republic) must be maintained.

2. The previous rights and interests of Russia destroyed by the Japanese treacherous attack in 1904 shall be restored, namely:

The southern part of Sakhalin Island and all adjacent islands must be returned to the Soviet Union;

The commercial port of Dalian must be internationalized, the Soviet Union's superior rights and interests in the port must be guaranteed, and the Soviet Union's lease of Lushun Port as a naval base must also be restored;

For the Middle East Railway and the South Manchuria Railway, which connect Dalian with the outside world, a Sino-Soviet joint company should be established to jointly operate them. It is understood that the superior rights and interests of the Soviet Union must be guaranteed, and China must maintain full sovereignty in Manchuria.

3. The Kuril Islands must be handed over to the Soviet Union.

Thinking of this proposal, Stalin walked up to the globe with great interest, pushed the globe with his finger, and drew the border line of the Soviet Union to Molotov. What? The Thousand Islands are ours now, and all of Sakhalin is ours. Look, how wonderful! Even Lushunkou and Dalian are ours.”

Speaking of this, Stalin took a puff of cigarette, and wisps of smoke gradually drifted away.Stalin was still not finished, and drew a line along northeast China with a pipe, and said excitedly: "Even the Middle-Long Railway is ours. China, Mongolia-everything is normal... You see, I can't do anything about our borders." satisfy!"

Stalin was very pleased because he couldn't think of any reason why Zhang Minghui would refuse. As long as Stalin was willing, more than 100 million Soviet troops would be under the command of Zhang Minghui. But there are so many!

After the liaison officer told Zhang Minghui about this, Zhang Minghui quickly organized all the senior management of Maoershan to start researching!
