The top official assigned to the Northeast by China is Zhang Xueliang, the director of the National Police Service. The "King of the Northeast" who lost the Northeast without firing a single shot finally realized his long-cherished wish in life.
This is naturally the face Wu Aihua gave to Zhang Xueliang. Of course, the era of dominating the mountain and becoming the king is gone forever.
The smooth recovery of Northeast China suddenly increased China's industrial production capacity by about a quarter, equivalent to China's total investment in two years. It also greatly enhanced China's overall national strength and was expected to fully surpass Japan before the end of 1943.
What started at the same time as Zhang Xueliang's acceptance of the Northeast was the "liquidation" of the Puppet Manchukuo. Similarly, Wu Aihua was not polite at all to the political bureaucrats of the Puppet Manchukuo. Those who deserved were jailed and those who deserved beheading were beheaded. For the Puppet Manchukuo
The emperor of the country would naturally kill him, but Wu Aihua was not willing to keep him, let alone bother to "reform" him.
…
While China was busy solving the Northeast issue, Germany also achieved great results in the Soviet-German War.
In the direction of the Baltic Sea in the north, the German army successively occupied Kaliningrad, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, and its troops were directed towards Leningrad.
In the direction of central Belarus, the German army captured Minsk, Mogilev, and Smolensk, Russia, on July 15. The German army was only 380 kilometers away from Moscow, the capital of Soviet Russia.
Historically, the German army made a strategic mistake here. In order to end the Kiev Campaign on the southern front as soon as possible and seize the large "breadbasket" of Ukraine, Hitler transferred a large army from the German army that attacked Moscow to go south and join the Kiev Campaign.
"Should we help Germany correct this mistake?" Wu Aihua was a little confused.
"Boss, the German army is 20% stronger than at the same time in history. I suggest that the boss stop giving tactical guidance to Germany." Before Wu Aihua had a clue, Shen Ren suggested.
"Okay, if you don't give me advice, I won't give you advice." Wu Aihua's struggle mainly lies in the fact that the shadow of history has had such a profound impact on him, and he is worried that Germany will fail.
The Germans indeed continued to make this mistake and divided their forces to rob the "breadbasket". The divided troops were the famous Heinz Guderian's armored forces.
Although the Germans made mistakes, the result of the battle made Germany ecstatic. During the entire Kiev battle, a total of 6 Soviet armies were annihilated. All the main commanders of the Soviet Southwest Front were killed, and several army commanders were captured. The Soviet Union
Russia's total military losses reached 810,000 (historically 665,000).
After the Battle of Kiev, Germany launched the Battle of Moscow on September 30.
In the Battle of Moscow, the German army concentrated 1.8 million men, 1,700 tanks, 14,000 artillery pieces, and 2,100 aircraft. The commander-in-chief was Marshal Ferdo von Bock. His unit was called "Army Group Center" and had the 9th
Army Group (commander is General Strauss), 4th Army (commander is Field Marshal Kluge), 2nd Army (commander is General Weikes), 3rd Tank Group (commander is General Huth),
4th Group (commander is General Hoppner), 2nd Army (commander is General Guderian).
However, the Battle of Moscow, which could have been launched in mid-August, was postponed to October due to the "greed" of the Germans. As a result, Soviet Russia concentrated the Western Front, Reserve Front, Bryansk Front, Kalinin Front and
The Southwest Front and other units have a total of 1.25 million infantry, 990 tanks, 7,600 artillery and mortars, and 677 aircraft.
Although the German army has an advantage in military strength, especially tanks, artillery and combat aircraft, the German army is the offensive side, so it is difficult to say how far the battle can go.
Compared with history, the biggest change is that the commander of the Soviet side in the Battle of Moscow was Marshal Budyonny, not the historical General Zhukov. Although Budyonny was very powerful, he was much worse than Zhukov.
It can be regarded as a blessing for the German army, and it can also be regarded as a gift from the Japanese to the Germans, because although Zhukov showed superb commanding skills in the Battle of Nomonhan in the East, he did not achieve victory after all, which is equivalent to giving Zhukov a temporary "
It was hidden in the snow. Only "experienced people" like Wu Aihua understand the horror of Zhukov, a "firefighter."
The war progressed quickly. By October 23, most of the Soviet Bryansk Front Army had been wiped out, and the Soviet army lost as many as 670,000 troops.
However, history has its own strong inertia. When the Soviet side was at a particularly critical juncture in the Battle of Moscow on November 20, Big Beard urgently ordered troops from other places to support Moscow, and at the same time he urgently appointed Zhukov as the commander of the Moscow Battle.
However, at this time, the climate in Moscow had become very cold and the roads were icy. The German armored groups were unable to move forward and had to stop the attack, and Moscow also got a chance to breathe.
Seemingly to cooperate with the German war effort, on October 31, after the last soldier of the Japanese Kwantung Army crossed the Yalu River, the Chinese Embassy in Soviet Russia requested the return of the unequal treaties adopted by Soviet Russia.
2 million square kilometers of territory ceded.
Faced with the "unreasonable demands" of the Chinese government, the Soviet Russian government naturally refused. The Chinese government also took the opportunity to sever diplomatic relations between the two countries on November 7, the day when Russia held a military parade in Red Square, and stationed its troops in Soviet Russia.
All embassy personnel were withdrawn from the country; at the same time, the personnel of the Soviet Embassy in China were also required to leave the country within a time limit.
China and Soviet Russia seem to be entering a state of war soon!
After Hitler heard the news, he immediately held a banquet in Berlin and invited the ambassadors from various countries in Berlin to attend. In the opening speech of the banquet, Hitler praised Germany's great victory, the ingenuity of the Chinese people, and the friendship between China and Germany.
Generational friendship.
On November 20, the 23rd Army of China's Northeastern Front (renamed the Northern Front) Deng Xihou (three-star general) and the 1st Cavalry Army of Sun Lianzhong (three-star general) suddenly sent troops to Mongolia, revealing the story of China's territorial recovery and external expansion operations.
prelude.
The 23rd Group Army of the Chinese National Defense Force, commander Deng Xihou, deputy commander Yang Deliang (lieutenant general), and chief of staff Zhou Tiren, has 231 Division (Zhang Deneng), 232 Division (Huang Baitao), 233 Division (Liu Jin), 234 Division (Ma Liwu),
235th Division (Wang Mingzhang). The entire 23rd Group Army’s officers above the rank of division commander are all former officers of the national army or local army. Only officers at regiment, battalion, and company levels are people from the old National Defense Force system. However, after several years of
Through training, integration and integration, in the current National Defense Force, those factional concepts in the past have long since disappeared.
The 23rd Group Army has five main divisions, plus the 23rd Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 23rd Armored Brigade, the 23rd Rocket Artillery Brigade, and the 23rd Armed Helicopter Attack Regiment. The total number of troops in the army is 153,500.
Sun Lianzhong's 1st Cavalry Army also has 1st Cavalry Division (Bai Ruqing), 4th Cavalry Division (Sun Changsheng), 7th Cavalry Division (Guo Xipeng), 10th Cavalry Division (Tan Fulie), and 13th Cavalry Division (Jing Dequan).
, the army has a total of 27,000 people, among whom Chen Shihao, the former commander of the 9th Cavalry Division of the National Defense Force, serves as the chief of staff of the 1st Cavalry Group Army.
Mongolia has a long history of separatist tendencies. After the rise of Tsarist Russia, the upper class of Mongolia began to lean towards Tsarist Russia, and later towards Japan, in order to fight against the Chinese central government. As early as 1911, when the Qing government was still in power, Outer Mongolia was under the control of Tsarist Russia.
With support, they sent troops to invade Inner Mongolia, but Yuan Shikai sent troops to take it back. However, due to historical limitations at that time, the Qing army did not send troops to Outer Mongolia.
On November 7, 1919, the Beiyang government took advantage of the melee between the Soviet Red Army and the White Army and was unable to take into account the opportunities of Outer Mongolia and sent troops to take back Mongolia. Outer Mongolia formally submitted a petition to Xu Shichang, President of the Republic of China, petitioning to abandon Outer Mongolia's autonomy and return Mongolia to China.
On November 22, Xu Shichang ordered the cancellation of Mongolian autonomy in the form of the "China President's Proclamation", and also canceled the "China-Russia Statement" and the "Kyakhta Agreement". The central government established the "Northwestern Border Envoy Office of the Republic of China" in Kulun.
.
However, the good times did not last long. The upper class of Outer Mongolia took advantage of China's civil strife and the intervention of the Soviet Red Army to finally achieve "independence" in 1921. Soviet Russia was the first to recognize the fact of Mongolia's "independence" in 1922. However,
, the Chinese government has never recognized Outer Mongolia’s independence.
The system established after Mongolia became independent was basically the same as the Soviet-Russian system. Its highest state authority was the Council of Ministers, and Choibashan was the Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Commander-in-Chief of the Mongolian People's Army and Minister of Defense at this time.
Because of the rise of China, Qiubashan felt that his position was threatened, so he more actively defected to Soviet Russia and became even more aggressive in the military. Mongolia's total population is only about 1.5 million, but it has established an army of 120,000
It is a huge army with Soviet Red Army advisors throughout its ranks, but its combat power is not as strong as its numbers.
"The key points of this Mongolian battle are, first, to capture or kill the Qiaobashan people alive; second, to kill all the Mongolian cavalry who refuse to lay down their weapons; third, to punish all Mongolian local officials who do not cooperate with the Chinese army in the war.
Traitors will be punished; fourth, Inner Mongolia will dispatch a large number of officials to prepare to take over local power in Mongolia."
At the pre-war meeting, Wu Aihua said murderously to Deng Xihou and Sun Lianzhong.
Don’t blame Wu Aihua for being too murderous. In fact, the Mongolian issue is also a problem that has been plaguing China in later generations. This nation has always acted as the vanguard of Soviet Russia and restricted China in all aspects. Even after the disintegration of Soviet Russia, it also
The relationship between Russia and Russia is very close. The most important thing is that this land with an area of 1.56 million square kilometers has become another country in the eyes of 400 million Chinese people. As a traveler, how can Wu Aihua tolerate it!
In the eyes of later generations, Mongolia has always been a barren land with cold climate, poverty and backwardness. However, this is a historical misunderstanding! Mongolia is poor because it has been subject to the Soviet system for a long time, which does not mean that it is really poor.
.
According to relevant data, more than 80 minerals such as copper, molybdenum, gold, silver, uranium, lead, zinc, rare earths, iron, fluorite, phosphorus, coal, and petroleum have been discovered in Mongolia. Among them, coal reserves are
About 50-152 billion tons, 2 billion tons of iron, 200 million tons of phosphorus, 8 million tons of fluorspar, 8 million tons of copper, 240,000 tons of molybdenum, 60,000 tons of zinc, 7,000 tons of silver, 3,000 tons of gold, 1.5 billion barrels of oil
.The Erdenet copper-molybdenum mine in later generations is one of the ten largest copper-molybdenum mines in the world, ranking first in Asia; and the gold mining industry has become the fastest growing industry in Mongolia in the 21st century.
