From to 1935 2020

"In the past few years, why did the more cadres who stayed in the Soviet Union returned from Moscow, the worse the Chinese revolution became? The reason is that you have only learned a little bit of theory, you can only endorse, and you have never been in the field, entered a factory, drilled Little bourgeois waste in the mines, meddling too much in the Chinese revolution! You know nothing about the lower class workers and peasants in China, but you foolishly think you know everything! In the past six months, Comrade Stalin has been helping you and giving you this A group of ignorant and arrogant waste make up lessons..."

A month later, the speech relayed by Serov, which extremely humiliated the "Liu-Soviet faction", was printed and placed in front of the top leaders of the Red Army.

The reason why it took so long is because Stalin was also very "rough" in the process of sending this group of people back to China.

He did not send them a direct flight to China, but let this group of people take a train into Mongolia, where they joined a large group of comrades from the "Anti-Union" who had temporarily withdrawn from the Northeast to the Soviet Union.

In the last few months of 1935, as the situation of the Chinese revolution took a sharp turn for the better, Stalin's attitude towards the Northeast Anti-Japanese League also became "more positive".At the request of the Central Red Army, some anti-union personnel near the Sino-Soviet border withdrew to the Soviet Union for "wintering" and receiving training after December. The total number reached a thousand.

After more than a month of rest and winter training, this group of people did not return to the Northeast immediately. Instead, according to the requirements of the Central Red Army, they entered Inner Mongolia from Outer Mongolia, crossed the Yinshan Mountains, and then returned to Yan'an to report through the newly liberated Bayannur.

The leader of these more than 1000 anti-union fighters was Zhou Baozhong. When they entered the Soviet Union, they were basically empty-handed.Together with this group of the Soviet factions who were "taken to Outer Mongolia like prisoners", they set off from Suhongtu, Mongolia, and traveled southward.

When setting off, every soldier of the Anti-Japanese War carried three newly issued Mosin Nagant rifles on his shoulders, and every son of the emperor who stayed in the Soviet Union was also ordered to carry a rifle on his back and follow the march together— —But they are not carrying regular Mosin Nagant rifles, but just produced, 12.7mm anti-tank guns.

This Huang Ke provided a 12.7mm anti-tank gun with design drawings, because there were complete design drawings at the beginning, and the Soviet Union quickly produced finished products according to the drawings, and most of the parts used were ready-made, almost no Newly made, nearly [-] of them were made in one month.Because Stalin asked for "continuous shooting", the gun was prepared with a very peculiar three-shot magazine design.

After it was manufactured, the Soviet military industry department conducted a live ammunition shooting test for the first time.During the test, it was found that it can penetrate 400mm thick armor at a distance of 15m (the muzzle velocity is 860m/s, and the real prototype of this gun is the Shalokhov anti-tank gun). When hitting the armor plate at a distance of 150m, 4 oblique shots left only a crater with an average depth of 13mm, and the other 4 vertical shots penetrated the 30mm armor plate.At 200m, the armor plate with a thickness of 15mm was shot at an angle of 30°, and the result was very unsatisfactory. Only 13 of the 4 rounds fired penetrated, and another 9 rounds left 13mm pits.

The final evaluation of the result by the military industry department is: just enough to penetrate the armor of the main tanks of the Red Army and other countries in active service.

The gun plus the anti-retraction device weighs 16.7 kilograms. After removing the bolt and adding bullets, the total weight is [-] kilograms. They were all carried by these people on the march. This was deliberately arranged by Stalin.

The Red Army's plan to launch an attack in Shanxi was already known to Stalin through Wang Jiaxiang.After Stalin learned that Chang Kaishen had also transported a large number of tanks to Hebei, he naturally increased his efforts in aiding anti-tank weapons.Under his attention, anti-tank guns were quickly manufactured in large quantities and sent to China for trial at the first time.

At that time, with a stroke of his pen, all 243 anti-tank rifles produced in the first batch were sent to China, which was more than the 3 originally requested.Interestingly, 300 of them are three of the five guns that were first built to test the anti-recoil effect. A group of anti-union fighters who were about to return to the country were escorted by a large number of "elites" studying at Sun Yat-sen University in "Moscow". They walked for more than ten days and traveled more than [-] kilometers to the border between China and Mongolia.

At first, Zhou Baozhong, the leader, thought from the Soviets that these people were all "bad elements who wanted to be reformed."It wasn't until they met the Red Army on the border between China and Mongolia that they realized that these people were all "high-achieving students from Sun Yat-sen University" and that they were asked to carry such heavy guns to walk such a long distance in order to "cure their illness".

On the Sino-Mongolian border, another large batch of arms and ammunition had already been transported by GAZ trucks and were waiting there.On the other side of the border, there was a large caravan of mules, horses and camels waiting, which was the convoy escorted by Peng Xuefeng's [-]st Cavalry Division.

After taking Bayanzhuoer, the Red Army did open up a land line of communication with the Soviet Union—it’s just that the transportation efficiency of this road is very poor, especially the section of the road in Inner Mongolia, which can only be transported by mules, horses and camels for the time being.

Relying on the captured camel team of the Majia army and the help of nearby Mongolian tribes, they came to the border to receive the second batch of arms from the Soviet Union: 12.7 Mosin Nagant rifles, more than two hundred 500mm anti-tank guns, ten Light mountain cannon, [-] million rounds of Mosin Nagant bullets, [-] rounds of shells.

After walking on the road for another three days, the First Cavalry Division met with the support troops of the First Red Army on the north side of the Yinshan Mountains, and arrived at Bayannur smoothly after another four days.

When crossing the Yinshan Mountains, some of the supporting Red Army and a small number of Anti-Union fighters stayed and began to build guerrilla bases in the mountains.

Chang Tuozi thought that the Red Army wanted Suiyuan very much, but Li Runshi had only two places in the Suiyuan area north of the Yellow River. "Yin Mountains".

The Yinshan Mountains are east-west mountains in northern China and an important geographical boundary.It runs across the central part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the northernmost part of Hebei Province.The west end is submerged into the Alxa Plateau by low mountains; the east end ends at the upper valley of the Luan River west of Duolun, about 1000 kilometers long; the south boundary is the Datong, Yanggao, and Zhangjiakou basins on the north side of the Hetao Plain.

The Qiantao Plain and Houtao Plain of the Yellow River are protected by the Yinshan Mountains, so they are not affected by the Mongolian wind and sand.

Historically, because there was no "fulcrum" north of the Yellow River, during the Anti-Japanese War, the only base that the Red Army could open up in the Suiyuan area north of the Yellow River was the Daqingshan Base.However, it was strongly suppressed by the Japanese and puppet troops in all directions. Although it persisted until the victory of the War of Resistance, it was unable to grow.

History is different today.

After taking Bayannur, the Red Army prepared to build the entire Yinshan Mountains according to the standards of the historical "Taihang Mountain" revolutionary base.

Although Guisui and Baotou are good, they are actually dead places that are easy to attack and difficult to defend.

In Inner Mongolia and Suiyuan, the most military value is actually the seemingly barren Yinshan Mountains.

The location of the Yinshan Mountains is very interesting—although Fu Zuoyi controls Suiyuan, his effective ruling area is all south of the Yinshan Mountains and north of the Yinshan Mountains. His control is close to zero, and he only owns it in name.

As long as the Yinshan Mountains are controlled, it is equivalent to controlling most of the "Sino-Mongolian" border.To establish a base here, the only problem is that the weather is too cold.The Red Army, which is mainly composed of southern soldiers, is not suitable for the environment here—this is why the Red Army asked some fighters from the Anti-Japanese Alliance to transfer from the northeast to Sumeng and go south to Inner Mongolia, because the fighters of the Anti-Japanese Federation fought in the colder Northeast. experience.Most of these people who came back through Mongolia will become the main force of the Yinshan base area in the future.

The Yinshan Mountains traversed almost the entire Inner Mongolia Plateau and controlled it. When the Japanese army invaded China in the future, even if they took Guisui and Baotou successively, they would only end up sitting on the edge of the powder keg.The reason is that the Yinshan mountainous area to the north of the two places is full of battlefields and logistics bases for the Red Army guerrillas, and they can use the mountains as a basis to attack southward at any time.

Mountainous areas can use the tactics of "guerrilla sneaking fish" to fight against the suppression, and the north of the mountain range can be used for grazing and farming, and it is easy to obtain the assistance of weapons and ammunition sent by the Soviet Union through Mongolia.As long as it is managed well and stands firm, the entire mountain range is a long string of guillotines held in mid-air by the Red Army, which can be cut at Baotou and Guisui at any time.

Historically, in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region, if the Japanese want to launch a major raid, they can obtain supplies to control the nearby counties.

But Suiyuan is different. The population of the entire region is only 200 million people, and the main population is only concentrated in a few big cities. The mopping up at a little distance will drive the Japanese crazy just for supplies.Moreover, there are few people here, and it is very difficult for the Japanese army to find the puppet army as an eyeliner here.

As for trying to deal with guerrillas like in the Northeast, playing small villages with big ones and moving residents away, it is useless.

The Northeast can play like this because the entire Northeast is completely controlled by the Japanese army. They can use this method to completely cut off the logistics and even personnel supplies of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.

But it is different in Inner Mongolia. There are Bayannur and Houtao grain-producing areas in the south of the Yinshan Mountains. In history, the Japanese were unable to capture these areas until they were defeated. It's even stronger than the Red Army.

As long as Bayannaoer and Yinshan Mountains are in hand at the same time, the Red Army's layout in Suiyuan, to be precise, in the entire Inner Mongolia and Suiyuan provinces will be fully alive.

Bayannur is the body, the Yinshan Mountains are the left arm, and the right arm is the barren and vast Ordos Plateau six hundred miles to the south. The Japanese invaders may be able to occupy Suiyuan and Baotou, but as long as they want to capture Bayannur, The guerrillas who are constantly attacking the Yinshan Mountains in the north and the Ordos Plateau in the south will definitely become their future nightmare.

As for sweeping into the mountains, they will soon taste such a long mountain range, the embarrassing encounters of the US and Soviet troops in Afghanistan in history, and Xue Yue's pain in the Qinling area of ​​Hanzhong recently.

------------------

After entering China, the ammunition carried by the bourgeois left in the Soviet Union was unloaded and turned away, but they still walked away with their guns on their backs...

For them, the Red Army's support troops did not give much "preferential treatment".

By the end of February, this group of young bourgeois who had been "extremely humiliated" by Moscow as prisoners, finally arrived in Yan'an.

At this moment, their arrogance no longer exists...

During this process, some Yan'an cadres who were assigned to the comrades of the Anti-Union League in advance have been quietly observing this group of personnel who stayed in the Soviet Union on the road, and quietly scored their words and deeds on the road...

These people are "rectification cadres" from Yan'an.

"Listen to what he says, watch what he does!"

This is an instruction issued by the superiors of the Red Army.

And Stalin’s speech before he was released was deliberately sent to the top of the Red Army, which was also an opportunity to express his attitude: he knew who these people were, and he would not give these people the opportunity to use his tiger’s skin to mess around.And after Chairman Li Runshi listened to Huang Ke's opinion, the local forces would no longer follow the "superstitious blind obedience" of these "people staying in the Soviet Union" as they did in history. They could only honestly start from the grassroots.

While Wang Jiaxiang was in the Soviet Union, Stalin talked with him the most. Apart from the strategic direction of the Red Army's development next year, another topic that was talked about the most was related to Huang Ke.

Stalin said to Wang Jiaxiang:

"This Comrade Sea Snake, he has too much influence on the Chinese revolution!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jiaxiang became nervous instinctively. Fortunately, he pretended well, and then nodded in agreement: "He solved many of our revolutionary funding problems!"

Stalin laughed loudly.

"A young man who is courageous, impulsive, and dares to do something!"

He smiled and put a magazine in front of Wang Jiaxiang. Wang Jiaxiang was taken aback when he saw it.

This is the famous American Time magazine. The person on the cover is a half-length photo of Elena, while Huang Ke's photo is shaded, half hidden behind her.

Stalin said: "This Miss Elena, she is very extraordinary!"

"Is there a problem with the streptomycin medium?"

"No, very good! According to the method she provided, through the laboratory, we easily produced one and a half kilograms of streptomycin within a month! Then we also successfully synthesized rifampicin. Unfortunately, , The equipment needed for large-scale mass production of streptomycin is not available here for the time being.”

"That's why Sea Snake came up with the plan to use the power of capitalist countries to help us solve the problem."

"I've seen the plans you guys brought over, bold and crazy plans. She and he..."

Stalin pointed to the two men in the magazine with a serious expression on his face.

"They are excellent and outstanding! Everything they have done so far has been positive for the Soviets..."

Obviously, Stalin had something to say.

"Um......"

Although Stalin spoke very kindly, Wang Jiaxiang, who had a secret in his heart, clearly felt the great coercion from the bones of this big man who controlled the leader of the communist movement.If he hadn't walked the Long March and experienced that hellish tempering process, if he was a "little bourgeois" in the past, he would definitely not be able to hold on.

"Sea Snake is a cadre developed by your own comrades. There is no problem with his origin. But Comrade Elena, you must investigate her origin carefully, and you can't let it go with a sentence of "unknown origin."

Regarding the streptomycin medium, Huang Ke put all the credit on Elena—according to his packaging for Elena, she is a genius pharmacologist, and all the drugs were researched and invented by her .Although it is February 1936, it is still early before the end of the year, but Elena is already the recipient of the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

She deserved it last year, but at that time she "refused" to hand over Streptomyces for testing in various countries—of course she would not, because Elena couldn't produce active Streptomyces at that time.But it's not a problem now. At the beginning of February this year, Elena provided Streptomyces to the world - the original kind.

Streptomycin can be extracted from this kind of Streptomyces, but its by-products are so toxic that they can kill and injure people.

Historically, Streptomyces was discovered in 1938, that is, two years later.However, the development of effective streptomycin, which can treat tuberculosis without poisoning the disabled, will have to wait until after 1948.Before knowing how to use radioactive mutagenesis to promote the variation and evolution of Streptomyces, it will take ten years to obtain the high-efficiency and low-toxicity medium of later generations.

As for the original version of Streptomyces that Huang Ke obtained through his mother, he specifically asked for the most toxic and least productive one.After Elena took out the Streptomyces, scientists from all over the world started researching it as if they had found a treasure.The follow-up situation is still unknown, but it is basically not a problem for Elena to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Regarding this situation, the Soviet Union is very clear.Elena's kind approach of "treating Soviet comrades as her own" won Stalin's favor.

However, when Stalin and Wang Jiaxiang mentioned this matter, it was purely his personal habit during the purges, and he didn't say much when Wang Jiaxiang expressed his understanding.

After talking about these two people, the next topic they talked about was still related to "aid".

Stalin was not stingy when it came to aiding and supporting communist movements in various countries.But the premise is that you can let him see "hope".When the Kuomintang and the Communist Party cooperated in the early years, the Soviet Union was very generous in this regard.It's just that in history, he was tricked by Chang Baldzi first, and then a bunch of Liusu factions tossed and messed around, and then he became the messy situation he was later.He really got to know the revolutionary comrades in China again, but he had to wait until after the Korean War to truly learn to "respect" the "little Chinese brother" around him.

No one really thinks highly of a crap who only yells "money".

Why is the Korean War called the battle for the founding of new China?The reason is that New China has proved that it can become "the second leader in the socialist camp after the big brother" by rubbing the United States and other seventeen-nation coalition forces on the floor for three years, instead of just hugging Stalin The weak chicken with thighs won the "respect" of others.

In the past few months, the Chinese side can make Stalin start to "see him in the eyes", not because they can always surprise him. The "Sea Snake" became more and more popular with Stalin, not because he always produced big news, but also directly helped China solve the problem of "revolutionary funding sources".

In the strategic direction disclosed by Wang Jiaxiang: the direction of the eastern front, this year the Red Army plans to first defeat Chang Kaishen's mobile force in the north in Shanxi, and then design to seize an important forward base in Shanxi.

On the western front, after the weather warms up in May and June, they will go westward with all their strength to eliminate Qingma—considering the fact that Ma's army has a large number of cavalry, its mobility is too strong, and it is difficult to truly wipe them out.Once a remnant escapes, it is easy to become a bandit.In order to achieve the goal of eliminating the remnants of the Ma family army as soon as possible, it is necessary for the Soviet Union to provide air force assistance at this time.

At the same time, in front of Stalin, Wang Jiaxiang took out the third batch of weapons aid orders from Huang Ke. At the beginning, what he wanted was an armored car and a design sketch of a "new bomb".

"Four wheels, four wings beat four legs"!

-------------------- Chapter 135 Pattern --------------------

In the last two days before going to Japan, Huang Ke stayed in his personal workshop in Shanghai, making major modifications to the American M2A3 infantry fighting vehicle, or more precisely, camouflaging it.

Get rid of the "foreign style" on the body, camouflage it more like Japanese tanks of this era, and paint it according to the painting of Japanese tanks of this era.

At the same time, one of the GO145 trainer planes he bought from Germany was undergoing maintenance and repainting: the sun logo of Army Aviation was painted on its body, and it was disguised as a Japanese plane.

In addition, Huang Ke carefully prepared a total of forty gasoline barrels as "gifts" for some people to enjoy on February [-]th.These gasoline barrels are old barrels that have been used for many years, and all the signs and steel seals on them that could reveal their origin have been removed in advance.

Huang Ke wanted to do this operation a long time ago, but he was always worried that his superiors would not allow it.But to his surprise, Yan'an finally agreed.

"Comrade Xiao Huang, we need time!"

Chairman Li Runshi said to him at the time: "After the Eastern Expedition, if the Red Army can achieve its strategic goals, then in the eyes of the Japanese imperialists, as the central government in name, its strength will be greatly reduced. It may break out early. Although we are stronger now than we were in history, it is good to delay for one more year!"

After getting the approval, the daring little Huang Ke immediately contacted the big Huang Ke. After collecting all the brains, he decided to make a bunch of big big news.

"If you have a cheat, you have to use it hard, use it desperately! This trip to Japan, I want to make the whole of Tokyo feel painful!"

To Huang Ke's surprise, the only requirement of his superiors during this trip to Japan was that he must give priority to ensuring his own safety, and there were no other restrictions.

Of course, the situation is not that simple.

On February 23, Xiao Huang Ke and Elena arrived in Tokyo by plane.

This trip to Tokyo, Huang Ke was very low-key, while Elena was extremely high-key.When I got off the plane, I was greeted by local Japanese officials, interviewed by reporters, and followed by newspapers.

She is now an international celebrity.After Elena came to Japan, shortly after getting off the plane in Tokyo, the first thing she did was charity: provide free streptomycin treatment to [-] children suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis in Tokyo—this is what she and Huang did. As planned, Japan was the first stop as part of the Yizhi plan to travel around the world, and it was deliberately chosen at this sensitive time before the February [-] Mutiny.
