Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 6 Chapter 235: Big fire (1)

"This is a concession joint operation, everyone is up, don't let that group of stupid French guys grab the limelight." Russia's second-row row of second-ranking Makarenko second Lieutenant, standing in the Ford eight-wheel truck In his car, he spoke loudly to his men.

Makarenko’s father, once an artillery captain of the Tsarist Russian Army, followed his newly-married husband to the Far East of the Empire. He was born in a barracks barracks.

In 1917, the storm of the October Revolution swept across Siberia, and many noble officers of the Russian Far East theater were subjected to the collective liquidation of the Russian soldiers who had been oppressed for years. Makarenko’s father was killed in a barracks mutiny. The captain, together with other Tsarist Russian officers, was **** by soldiers with his hands and feet, thrown into a small river near the station and drowned.

His mother was a little bit more beautiful, and she survived the coup d’état. As for what the poor woman encountered during this period, it was really unbearable. At the time, Makarenko was only four years old. He hid under the floor of the wooden house and witnessed the whole tragedy. In the little heart, he hated the "revolutionaries" early.

The small-scale armed mutiny was quickly suppressed by the troops still loyal to the tsar, but the tragedy had already been brought about, and the happy time of Makarenko was buried in that cruel **** cold with his smile. In the winter night.

The fierce Russian civil war ended with the cruel defeat of the Tsarist Russian army. Macalenko lived in Vladivostok, the last important town in Tsarist Russia, with countless imperial Russian soldiers and civilians who were unwilling to accept Soviet rule. At this time, his mother had remarried to a 65-year-old Colonel of the Russian Infantry, only because the other party promised to raise up Makalenko.

The old colonel was a widower. His ex-wife did not leave him a son and a half daughter. He kept his promise and took care of Makarenko carefully. At the same time, the infantry colonel named Normanrov also had the title of Viscount of the Russian Empire, but it was only on the streets of Vladivostok where the Earl of the Marquis had gathered. This title was obviously not enough.

But Colonel Normanrov was a senior officer after all. He had long foreseen the failure of the civil war, so he used his power to accumulate a lot of money. The amount of this wealth is enough to allow him to spend his second half of his life with his wife and children. At this time, the battle situation has completely collapsed. Colonel Normanrov decided to take this young and beautiful wife and adopted son to escape this must. The city that will fall.

At this time, Vladivostok has been surrounded by three sides, and the land passage is completely closed. In addition to the die-hard iron loyalists who want to resist the corner, most of the people with status status are trying to find other ways out.

At this time, the imperial and Russian remnants also controlled a small navy in Vladivostok. This fleet was originally the Pacific Squadron of the Soviet Red Navy. It had three old destroyers and about 1,600 naval officers and soldiers. As a result, in the Russian Civil War, Captured by the Japanese Intervention Army and the Tsarist Army, the commander of this fleet at the moment is Admiral Oscar Viktorovich Stark who once served as the commander of Tsarist Russia's Lushun Port and commander of the Pacific Fleet.

The admiral had a bad reputation for his poor performance in the Russo-Japanese War. The famous allusion about him was that on the night of February 8, 1904, the Japanese destroyer attacked Lushun Port while taking cover of the night. The admiral was holding a birthday celebration party for his wife on the flagship battleship Petropavlovsk. When the torpedo and flash of Japanese torpedo came from outside the cabin, he thought he was a subordinate Fireworks show specially prepared for the banquet.

In 1922, the admiral was already seventy-six years old, but his fate, once again, jokingly placed the responsibility of countless lives on the shoulder of the navy commander.

This is an old-school admiral with a stubborn personality. Like Admiral Roger Vinstwinsky, he led a large fleet of thirty old warships and civilian ships and began a thrilling action. Expedition. This fleet was made up of ships that were able to be searched by the Russians in the port at the time and also had navigation capabilities. In addition to destroyers and minesweepers, there were ordinary passenger ships and offshore ferries, ocean-going commercial ships and coastal transport ships. There are customs anti-smuggling ships, shallow water gunboats, military communication ships, naval icebreakers, and even a steam-powered yacht.

Stark was carrying such a diverse fleet, carrying more than 9,000 "Tibet-Russian refugees" who "buy tickets", risking the harsh sea conditions in autumn and winter, and fleeing from Vicang to the North to North Korea. Mountain port.

At that time, North Korea was already a colony of the Japanese empire. The Japanese initially refused to accept these "Lu refugees", but soon "pressed" by European powers and agreed to let the old women and children in the fleet go ashore, but they could only live In the prescribed area. The Japanese Customs built a kind of refugee camp outside Motoyama Port without any knowledge, but because of the poor living conditions, infectious diseases soon began to spread among the crowd.

Stark did not want to sit dead in these wooden row houses, so he resolutely took fifteen civilian ships and warships that could still sail, carrying more than 3,000 Russian military officers, noble officials and their families. This time they The destination is Shanghai, China, a paradise for world-renowned adventurers.

At that time, the Shanghai government and the Ministry of Public Concession and the Ministry of Concession were stunned by the uninvited Russian refugee fleet. Among these Russians, there were not only nobles, businessmen and ordinary civilians, but also many professional soldiers from Russia. If one Poor resettlement must be a pile of hidden dangers in public security. So the concession asked the Russian fleet to stay in the port for 48 hours, and then all the people must leave Shanghai.

At this time, there were only twelve ships left in the Russian fleet. Three ships, including a destroyer, encountered a typhoon on the way to Shanghai. Unfortunately, they were killed at sea. The passengers in the Russian fleet are already suffering. , I can't stand the long voyage again.

So the Russian admiral made a private transaction with the then Beiyang government representative, and he was willing to hand over part of the Tsarist government treasure carried on the ship as a condition for China to accept the Russian refugees. In the end, the Chinese side agreed to the deal, so apart from a few Russian navy crew, the remaining more than 3,000 people all landed ashore. They were arranged by the government to live in the Chinese community and became a new scenery in Shanghai. That’s where Shanghai Belarusian refugees who left a unique mark in the history of this city. (The author remembers that when he was young, there were still many descendants of these batches of Belarusian refugees in that year. They had blond blonde noses and high eyes, but they spoke standard Shanghai gossip.)

In 1927, the Northern Expeditionary Force approached Shanghai. When the public concession was in chaos and panic, the Ministry of Industry and Bureau was finally determined to establish a standing armed force to protect the security of the diaspora in the concession anytime, anywhere. Although the Universal Business Group was established at the time, as stated earlier, the members in it were purely foreign nationals playing tickets, and they would only gather together when something happened, and only receive three weeks of military training in a year. So don't expect this kind of force at all to stop the Northern Expedition's attack.

The situation at that time forced the Ministry of Industry and Bureau to find a group of soldiers with regular military training in the shortest time. As a result, the senior level of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau focused their attention on the Russian refugees.

At that time, except for some of the rich nobles and wealthy businessmen, most of the rest of the refugees had already used up their savings. Many of them lacked survival skills and could only be found at the bottom of society, relying on physical strength and hue. Earn a living.

Many of these people used to be regular soldiers of the Tsarist Empire. They only need a short period of adaptive training. They can quickly restore a certain combat effectiveness. If you add a suitable amount of military pay, I believe that the whole Shanghai will find them. There are no more dedicated soldiers than them.
