That's what Stalin said, but since he did not mobilize more troops into the Far East, his true intentions are not difficult to guess, that is: he does not care about a one-sided war with China, but not at this time. Perhaps in his heart
, does not believe that China's military actions in the Far East are enough to shake the fundamental interests of Soviet Russia. At the same time, he feels that under the current international situation, if an all-out war with China begins, it will only help Britain, the United States and Japan to seize chestnuts from the fire.
Stalin's complicated mood was incomprehensible to Kurtuk's Lankovsky. Because the gap in troops and equipment was too large, and the most important thing was the lack of heavy firepower support, the Seventh Army was defeated within five hours of the start of the battle.
All peripheral defense lines were lost, and the troops had to be withdrawn into Kultuk. They could only rely on street fighting to delay the Chinese army's offensive.
Kurtuk, this small town in the Far East of Soviet Russia, had a small population to begin with. After China regained the Far East, the population situation changed again. This change is naturally related to the minority policy of the coalition government.
To put it simply, the minority policy of the coalition government is nothing more than "obedient children get candy", and "the more obedient children get more candy." That is, as long as they can obey the government's instructions, then the government will not
Care about increasing assistance and investment, and even provide considerable care in many matters such as education, health and people's livelihood.
Relying on the stability of Indochina and its early use of "peripheral influence" to turn Indochina into the "granary of China", what the coalition government now lacks most is food. This is why the coalition government can stabilize the country in a very short period of time.
The fundamental reason for Guangfu District's public support. Rice in Indochina is harvested three times a year, and the population of Indochina is so large. The coalition government is so crazy that all the countries in Indochina are planting rice. The result is that the price of rice in Indochina has fallen again and again.
In the end, it had to rely on China's acquisition in order to ensure the stability of the peninsula. This is of course a vicious cycle. Fortunately, the "coalition government" or "Chinese people" have a conscience (some democrats in Indochina said
), does not overly suppress food prices. This also allows the national power of the countries in Indochina to advance steadily on the road to agriculturalization, and even in more famous cities such as Hanoi, Phnom Penh, and Bangkok, local people can afford it.
Electrical appliances from China and even Chinese TVs can be seen.
Closer to home, the importance of food during the war is self-evident. And precisely because it has mastered this soft power weapon, the coalition government can quickly stabilize the disaster situation in Henan. Not only that, it can also support more and more people.
The army has gone abroad to fight. For the same reason, in the Far East, because it can continuously provide low-priced food to ethnic minorities, the coalition government's "simplicity" has been recognized by more and more Russians.
Without having to worry about food all day long, people in the Far East can concentrate on other production and construction. Naturally, people's livelihood conditions become better and better with the passage of time. Naturally, more and more Soviet Russians are attracted
People travel to the Far East of China to eat.
As the Soviet government's usual place of political prisoner exile, the Far East really had little status in the Central Committee of Soviet Russia before Stalin had the idea of recovering it. Correspondingly, Soviet Russians in the Far East had a greater sense of national identity than other places.
Even in some relatively remote places, there are still so-called "remnants" like Belarus. The result of the central government's relatively low attention is that by the time the agents of the Political Security Bureau discovered that something was wrong, the population of some places had already been reduced.
More than half, and even some entire villages and towns have been moved out and become dead areas.
The situation in Kurtuha is considered good, but now the total population of the town is less than one hundred. It turns out that at that time and space, the reason why Soviet Russia was able to win the final victory in the war against Germany was undoubtedly due to the actions of "common people"
The role is crucial. It is precisely because of the harassment and cover of the "common people" that the Soviet Red Army was able to fight repeatedly and win the final victory. But now, at least in the Far East, this situation will never happen again.
.
Lacking the support of the people, the Soviet Red Army had to do everything themselves. This not only made their preparations extremely difficult, but also had a subtle impact on morale. This subtlety was not very subtle when the war in Negarsk began.
Obviously, in Kurtuha, it was more serious for Lankovsky and his men.
I don’t know if the mayor of Kurtuha is dead or has run away. Anyway, when Lankovsky sent people to find the local person in charge, he couldn’t even ask for his name wherever he went. The person who lost the local cadre
Help, if they want to rely on local residents to fight, it will not be so smooth.
At the beginning, the Red Army soldiers could maintain a friendly attitude and humbly shouted "Comrade, open the door, we are the Red Army, the Chinese are coming, we want to use your house to defend against the enemy", and waited for them
After being late and being rejected one after another, some people finally couldn't bear it any longer - climbing over the wall and crossing into the courtyard was a more polite thing to do; if they were more aggressive, they just smashed the door with the butt of a gun.
"Comrade Chief of Staff, the local people are not cooperating, what should we do?" The situation was reported to Lankovsky. Lankovsky obviously did not expect this situation to happen, and he did not know that they were being protected by politics.
The people from the Political Security Bureau were harmed and the fish in the pond was ruined. Therefore, at first, people were sent to notify the people from the Political Security Bureau who were accompanying the army and wanted them to do their work. However, the people from the Political Security Bureau were willing to risk the consequences and directly arrested the local people.
He realized something was wrong with the two uncooperative "fellows", but it was already too late.
As a guerrilla, Jiang Tieyao was not afraid of the Soviet Russians engaging in street fighting with them. Therefore, when the Seventh Army retreated into Kurtuk, he did not hesitate to order the pursuit. The Chinese army chased the Seventh Army
chased into Kultuk, and the battle immediately started in the east of Kultuk town.
There were intensive gunfire explosions in the east of the town. Lankovsky knew that there could be no delay at this time, so he ordered the forcible expropriation of local houses. He forgot, however, that the folk customs in the Far East were fierce, and most people had shotguns or iron forks in their homes.
Therefore, he refused to order the forced requisition. Once this order was issued, the shackles on the necks of the Soviet Red Army soldiers were lifted, which immediately aroused strong resistance from the local residents.
"Something's wrong, why is there a fight in the town? Some of us broke in?" Standing behind several Mandrill tanks, Jiang Tieyao heard gunshots coming from the town. He didn't understand what happened and asked his left and right.
The members of the First Far East Army were still outside the town, and no one knew where the gunshots in the town were coming from. However, this was obviously to their own advantage. So Jiang Tieyao waved his hand and ordered the entire army to suppress
Go up and declare that we will annihilate the Seventh Army in one go.
