Chapter 54 Provoking Risu
In fact, the conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union has been going on for a long time. The Russo-Japanese War in 1904 broke out to compete for Manchuria. Russia failed and the whole country was ashamed.
Japan's occupation of Northeast China aroused public outrage. Britain and the United States reacted strongly, and the League of Nations headed by them also actively mediated. The Soviet Union was the country most threatened after China. Not only were real interests such as the Middle East Railway harmed, but the Far East of the Soviet Union was also directly affected.
Exposed to the threat of the Japanese army, Vladivostok, the most important military port in the Far East, fell
The Japanese army was surrounded by land on three sides with a distance of only tens of kilometers. This was a good opportunity for revenge brought by the Japanese themselves! Even if the Soviet Union made a false tough attitude, the young Japanese soldiers would be frightened. After all, this country is better than China.
It is much stronger, and the Japanese government is opposed to the incident, but the Soviet Union is silent, idiot!
First: In 1931, two years before Hitler came to power, Western countries were overwhelmed by the economic crisis, and the Soviet Union posed no threat on the Western Front.
Second: At that time, the Soviet Union's economy and military were booming. The Soviet army had the largest number of tanks in the world. Its army strength was much better than that of the Japanese army, which was still at the level of World War I. The Nomenkan contest eight years later would show this.
Advantages.
Third: If the Soviet Union issued strong protests after the incident and massively increased its troops in the Far East, it could even get support from Britain and the United States, or at least tacit approval.
"Damn it! Is it the hatred forged in the Tsarist Russia era, the Soviet era may not have the heart to care about it! It seems that the old man is not a fool, and will not take chestnuts from the fire for the Kuomintang. But at least the Kuomintang occupies the Northeast than the Japanese do.
The threat from the Soviet Union is much smaller, right?
Neighbors are better than strong ones, right? If I were the Soviet Union, I would rather let Mr. Zhang occupy the Northeast than let Japan occupy it. If the Soviet Union interferes with Japan, it may force Japan to form an alliance with Britain and the United States. Although Britain and the United States are opposed to Japan, they are even more opposed to it.
The Soviet Union. Are they afraid of this?"
It seems that Lao Maozi wants to push Japan's main attack direction to China and let China relieve him of his worries. Therefore, on the one hand, he downplays Japan's invasion of China, and on the other hand, he supports the Northeast Anti-Japanese War.
to intensify the contradiction between China and Japan. The Soviet Union actually took
It is a strategy to lure the enemy deep into other people's territory. Why not do it? It is conceivable that as long as Japan continues to invade China, the possibility of China and Japan joining forces to deal with the Soviet Union is almost zero.
In this way, one of its major threats becomes self-explanatory.
China and Japan had to engage in full-scale military confrontation, and this was the greatest benefit to the Soviet Union. Therefore, the Soviet Union could only promote this situation, how could it possibly prevent it? The historical facts are exactly the same. Japan invaded China, and the Soviet Union welcomed it.
, and later even sold the China-Eastern Railway to Japan at a low price; China’s resistance to Japan was also welcomed by the Soviet Union, as evidenced by the large amount of assistance Japan provided to China in the early days of the war.
Since you don't follow the path, I'll give you a push. Anyway, I have a lot of Kwantung Army uniforms in my hands.
In fact, since the autumn of 1936, the Japanese invaders have been constantly provoking the Soviet Union and holding military exercises against the Soviet Union. The Soviet Far East Military District is also eager to learn about the Japanese military's strategic facilities and military intelligence in Northeast China. This major task can only be accomplished through dispatch.
There are far from enough Soviet espionage personnel. Because their appearance and language are completely different from Asians, this further hinders them from carrying out their work independently. It is better not to be familiar with them, and let your dogs eat dogs.
In order to prevent the news from leaking out, Feng Quan asked 19 Centuries to retreat to Zhongtiao Mountain during the chaos. It would be best to gather some laggard Northeastern troops, stock up on more food and grass there, and continue training. Only the most elite Centuries were left to look for opportunities.
To sow discord between Japan and the Soviet Union.
Because the arrogant Second Division was completely annihilated by Feng Quan, the 23rd Division was originally formed in Kumamoto City on April 4, 1938. It was a three-brigade division-level unit. Due to the Chinese Anti-Japanese War,
In order to expand and urgently need the troops to maintain public security, the military headquarters established four security maintenance divisions in 1938.
The commander of the cavalry regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Dongba Baizang, commanded more than 00 Japanese cavalry in the headquarters, and about 4,000 soldiers of the 8th Cavalry Regiment of the puppet Xing'an North Guard Army. They were responsible for patrolling the Heihe border to prevent Lao Maozi from infiltrating and conducting reconnaissance.
The opportunity has finally come. More than 0 Japanese cavalry are patrolling. Damn it! They are still joking and joking. The patrol is not serious. I have been waiting for you for a long time and it has been so hard. I wonder if you are going to die soon?
Feng Quan's friends put on Lao Maozi's Mosin-Nagant 1891 rifles and SVT-40 semi-automatic rifles, and lurked in a tall field of weeds. After assigning targets, there was only a "pop" sound, and the gun rang out.
, 0The Kwantung Army cavalry died inexplicably. I wonder if Amaterasu will accept you stupid people?
Feng Quan personally led this hundred-man team to put on Kwantung Army uniforms, mount horses, and take 10 Kwantung Army corpses, secretly cross the Sino-Soviet border, arrive at Heihe Lao Maozi's territory, and search carefully for fighter planes.
The Soviet Far East Special Group Army was a Soviet combat corps deployed in the Far East of the Soviet Union. It was established in August 2019. It is based on the institutions of the 18th and 19th Infantry Corps of the Siberian Military District. It governs the Far Eastern Territory, Buryatia
- Garrison troops of the Mongolian Autonomous Republic and the Irkutsk Oblast of the Siberian Territory, as well as from the Central Region
The 21st and 35th Infantry Divisions were transferred from the region and were responsible for commanding the Far East Fleet. The commander was V.K. Blyucher. During the Middle East Road Incident, the group army invaded Northeast China from September to December 1919. In Tongjiang,
Fujin, Manzhouli, Zhalainuoer, Mishan and other places defeated Xiao Zhang's Northeast China Army. Since then, the military strength has been continuously strengthened.
The same old men were also patrolling not far from the border. Feng Quan and his friends were hiding on a hill and slowly looking for fighter planes. These old men were even more ridiculous, and some were drinking vodka. It was indeed winter now, and the Northeast was very cold.
It's too cold. Drink some strong wine to keep out the cold. Are these old guys breathing hot air like big bears?
It's too hard to patrol in the cold. Let me liberate you.
They counted the people before they arrived. It seemed that they did not believe that the "Kwantung Army" dared to attack them, and even put their guns on their backs. Feng Quan suddenly waved his hand, and his friends opened fire at the same time. The gunshots were heard and everyone died.
The old man was shot at least five times and died before he could send out a signal. Only one old man was consciously spared and went back to report the news.
Soon, the news spread to the Soviet Far East Special Group Army and was uploaded to the Kremlin. There were ten corpses of the Kwantung Army at the scene, and 6.5mmmm caliber bullets unique to the 38 rifle were also found on the dead ones. The reason is self-evident, it was the Japanese Kwantung Army.
The army did it.
The furious Stalin immediately ordered a counterattack plan to be prepared, and decided that Zhukov would be in charge of the command. Without notifying the Japanese Kwantung Army, the Soviet army launched a main offensive on a thirty-kilometer-long front line under the command of Zhukov. The Soviet army invested all its troops.
There are about 57,000 troops, cooperating with the artillery bombardment, a large number of tanks and
Air force support. The northern wing was the first to attack with mechanized infantry to attract Japanese reinforcements; the central wing used infantry to contain the main force of the Japanese army; the southern wing concentrated an infantry division, an armored brigade, about 10,000 people and 300 tanks, and with artillery, the air force quickly
It detoured northward and almost surrounded the 23rd Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army.
Soviet planes bombed a Japanese military gathering area near Heihe. 500 barrels of gasoline were blown up and set on fire. A large number of aircraft were blown up and countless personnel and materials were lost.
At the same time, General Muto Nobuyoshi, the trusted commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, also learned that 0 Kwantung Army soldiers were shot and killed by Lao Maozi. The reason is also obvious. The bullet on the corpse was 7.62 caliber, which was Lao Maozi's Mosin-Nagant 1891 rifle.
The launch was also reported to the country. Before receiving instructions from the base camp, the Soviet army launched an attack.
"Baga! All the old men are dead! Work hard! Kill them!"
The Japanese Kwantung Army also launched a comprehensive counterattack. "Two tigers are fighting each other, and both sides will suffer."
As a result, the number of Japanese killed in action was 7,696, the number of wounded was 8,647, and the number of missing persons was 1,021; the number of Soviet dead and missing was about 4,000, and about 16,000 were injured.
The problem is that the number of old men is much greater than that of little Japan. Thousands of people died, but they didn't care, and Stalin was very satisfied. And no matter what, the Japanese casualties were extremely high, and only the 72nd Regiment escaped from the frontline Japanese army in full formation.
765 people, including 626 people from the 13th Field Artillery Regiment. The casualties among senior officers were also unprecedented, with several major generals and colonels dead. Almost all the Kwantung Army's aircraft, artillery, etc. were blown up by the densely packed Lao Maozi aircraft.
The Kwantung Army immediately took the initiative to sue for peace, and the Japanese ambassador to the Soviet Union Togo took the initiative to find the Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov. The Soviet Union and Japan stepped up diplomatic negotiations. Although the Soviet army won the battle in the Far East, it had no intention of expanding the results. The two sides ceased fire.
The incident ended with Japan backing down and recognizing the existing borders.
"Haha, why don't we fight? Isn't it good enough? The Northeast has become a land of right and wrong. What should I do? Let me go! I still have many things to do?"
