"Send off comrades, embark on the journey, silent and tearful, with the sound of camel bells ringing in my ears. The road is long and foggy, the revolutionary life is often separated, and the same two feelings are separated, comrades, comrades, dear brothers, beware of the cold wind from the north in the middle of the night, take care of yourself along the way
..."
In the Xiao Nanhai Banquet Hall, melodious music sounded from the speakers surrounding the banquet hall.
Accompanied by Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong, An Yi walked around various wine tables holding a wine glass.
Brothers Li Tao, Liu Yuan, Hu Jialong, Li Zhihe, Liu Wuji, Yan Pei and other brothers stood up one after another, drank the wine with tears in An Yi's toast with a smile.
In this personnel transfer, not only the heads of departments, division chiefs, officers and staff of the three headquarters were greatly adjusted and added to the front-line troops, but the secretaries, staff and guards around An Yi also underwent a major rotation and were all sent to the front line.
The troops serve as military chiefs, political cadres and chief of staff.
After toasting, An Yi, Lao Shen, and Xiao Jiu returned to their seats. After eating a few chopstick dishes, An Yi stood up and said emotionally while suppressing the smell of alcohol rising in his chest:
"Brothers, many of you are old brothers who have followed me An Yi for many years, and some are even my saviors. Over the years, we have been together day and night, fought bloody battles together, and experienced ups and downs together. To be honest,
I really can't bear to see you leave! However, you are still young and have the belief of caring about the country and the people to serve the country and the nation. If you want to realize your ambitions and display your personal talents, you can't always stay by my side...
"
"President--"
"Chairman, we don't want to do big things, we just want to be by your side..."
"Chairman, I don't want to leave you..."
Listening to the buzzing answers coming from the banquet hall, An Yi's eyes became sharp. He glanced left and right, spat loudly, and said sternly:
"You are so promising? These words are not like those spoken by the soldiers led by An Yi! Without going through the wind and rain, there will be no rainbow. If you don't go out and have a try, you can't really grow up by just talking on paper! You see
Look at Lieutenant General Liang Ziyan, the new political commissar of the garrison. When he left me, he was reluctant to leave me, thinking that the sky was going to fall. But what is the situation now?
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. I believe there is no coward without a handle around me, An Yi! Let's go, go out bravely, face new challenges, and be a real man! Here, I only hope
No matter where you go, brothers, you must show the same spirit as when you are by my side.
Come on, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, be strict with yourself, pay close attention to military skills training and strengthen political and ideological education, treat the officers and soldiers under your command well, treat all brothers as your own relatives, and always keep in mind the "model camp spirit"
, then you will be considered a true master!
"The troops under my command, An Yi, have always been supported and loved by the people no matter where they go. They sincerely treat our brothers as relatives. That is because they abide by the three major disciplines and eight points of attention, and always keep in mind the 'Model Camp'
spirit', and do not forget the nature of a soldier. You must be highly vigilant. If you
If you abandon the "model camp spirit" and are not good at criticism and self-criticism, the troops under your command will lose their goals and beliefs, lose their strong revolutionary will and cohesion, and will become mediocre and even degenerate into the scorn of thousands of people.
Warlord, I hope brothers will keep these words of mine in mind at all times..."
At this point, An Yi raised his glass again: "Come, let me toast you all again! After the banquet, you will leave my side and go to your new job. I hope that when we meet again, you will already be qualified military commanders.
It would be best if you could wear a general star on your shoulder and show it to me. Only then can you prove that your time by my side these past few years has not been in vain! Do you have confidence?"
"have!"
All the brothers shouted heartily, with tears gurgling down their eyes. They held up their wine glasses and pointed them in the direction of An Yi. After An Yi did it first as a sign of respect, they also raised their heads and poured the wine into their throats.
Many people swallowed alcohol into their trachea due to emotional excitement and difficulty breathing, causing them to cough violently.
"Okay, just have confidence!"
An Yi put down his wine glass and said happily: "Brothers, do you know? The people who have left me over the years have done very well, including your senior Ma Zhiyuan, who left me in 2028 to go to the United States.
, is now the vice president of Huaqing Society, and controls hundreds of millions of dollars in assets for me. The most recent one is Liu Yu, who was recently transferred back to the General Staff Headquarters as the Chief of Operations. When he was by my side in 37 years, he was still a little second lieutenant.
Staff officer, now he is the major general chief of staff.
"As long as you work hard, step by step, and apply what you have learned around me to actual work, I believe you will all have a good future. After you achieve your results, I will personally work for you in Xiaonanhai.
You celebrate!”
After hearing An Yi's inspiring speech, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became lively.
It is almost universally acknowledged that the people around An Yi will have a better future after they go out. After all, their bosses will worry about An Yi's face. As long as they perform well in their daily work, no one will care about their career.
It hinders promotion. Therefore, although many people feel uncomfortable, they still start to look forward to new jobs.
After lunch, An Yi personally put all the brothers one by one on the bus that came to greet him. After watching the convoy drive out of sight, he said to Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong who were standing beside him:
"Every time I send my brothers away, I feel bad... However, rotation is necessary. I really can't bear to have them by my side, wasting their youth and years, and living a life of inaction...
..Lao Shen and Xiaojiu, the changes in the guards this time are particularly big. Almost all of them, including the team leader Li Tao, are gone. I need you to teach me step by step and get familiar with the business as soon as possible!"
Lin Yaodong waved his hand and said: "No problem, anyway, I have a lot of professionals there, just bring a few here! If I have time, I will come over and teach you a few skills myself, so I won't miss anything!"
Shen Fengdao smiled slightly: "I have nothing to do, so it would be good to train the newcomers! Xiaoyi, there are a lot of good talents sent this time. They are basically from various martial arts families in the country. They have secrets that are not passed on, and they have passed through the political department.
After passing the assessment and studying at the sergeant school for two years, their basic quality is much higher than that of Li Tao and others. Don’t worry, it won’t take long for them to adapt to their current work.”
Seeing what his two confidants said, An Yi nodded with satisfaction. He turned around and saw the new confidential secretary Android walking over quickly. Knowing that there was something important, he asked: "What's the matter?"
Android, who was dressed in a lieutenant colonel uniform, walked up to An Yi, gave a respectful salute, and then said: "Father, Chief Yang Fei called. After continuously comparing the photos taken by satellites and the information transmitted from Germany and Japan,
Intelligence, and have a basic understanding of the war in the Soviet-German battlefield and the Australian battlefield.
"The General Staff will hold a war briefing later. Minister of National Defense Hu and President Deng of the National Defense University will attend. Chief Yang Fei called to ask if you will attend!"
Android is twenty-four years old this year. He is an orphan adopted by An Yi in Henan during the Central Plains War. He graduated from the Xufu Military Academy in 1936, participated in the North China Anti-Japanese War and the Songhu Battle in 2037, and entered the Southwest Political and Legal Affairs Department in early 1938.
After studying at the university for one year, he was transferred to the General Staff Operations Department as a combat staff officer. In October last year, he entered the National Defense University for further study. After graduation, he stayed as an instructor until he was transferred to An Yi as a confidential secretary.
"Don't call me foster father. During work, I mainly use my title as my title. In private, anything is fine!"
An Yi glared at Android, and when he saw that he was obediently claiming yes, he responded: "Go, of course I want to go. I will leave for Guangzhou soon, and I estimate that I will be delayed for a few days. If I can fully understand it before departure,
With the intelligence on the two major battlefields, I feel more at ease when I leave! By the way, has Director Liu of the Operations Department arrived?"
Android flipped through the notebook in his hand with some uncertainty, and finally answered with certainty: "Minister Liu has arrived in Culun and is expected to arrive tomorrow!"
...
When An Yi came to the General Staff War Room, everyone was basically there. Hu Jialin, Yang Fei, Deng Bin, Yang Jie, Huang Zhi, Zhao Dongquan and others were gathered around the map, pointing, and Liu Qing was sitting at the conference table.
Next to him, he took the information compiled and compiled by the Intelligence Department and kept reading it so that he would not make mistakes in the subsequent war situation report.
The meeting was held on time at three o'clock in the afternoon. This meeting not only used maps and sand tables, but also used a slide projector to show detailed satellite photos to confirm the intelligence.
Liu Qing stood in front of the map, holding a baton and pointing at the map:
"After the war broke out, the German side immediately began shelling. Tens of thousands of cannons of various calibers fired high-explosive bombs at predetermined targets. More than two thousand bombers from the German North, Central, and South Clusters and the Turkish Cluster attacked the Soviet hinterland.
A cascade of bullets rained down on airports, military headquarters and transportation centers.
"According to Barbarossa Plan, the German army launched an attack in three directions. Army Group North set off from East Prussia and attacked Dirgit and Pskov, with the goal of Leningrad. In order to assist the German army in occupying Leningrad, Finland's
Karelian Army and Southeastern Group
The army, with a total of fifteen divisions and three brigades, launched an attack from the east of Lake Ladoga and from the front and back of Leningrad. The other army was nine SS divisions composed of Norwegians and launched an attack from the north of Finland towards the Soviet Union.
The offensive was aimed at capturing Murmansk and the Kola Peninsula.
"Army Group South set out from between Lublin and the Carpathian Mountains and attacked the Kiev Square via Zhitomyr; Army Group Center went straight to Minsk and Smolinsk and attacked in the direction of Moscow; the Turkish Group crossed the border
After that, they immediately occupied the city of Batumi, the capital of the Adjara Autonomous Republic, and another army followed the railway and occupied Leninakan, an important city in the Republic of Armenia."
Having said this, Liu Qing paused for a moment. Seeing that everyone had no questions, he pointed the baton in his hand to a point on the map, and then explained:
"On some border rivers such as the Bug River, the German army unexpectedly captured some bridges a few minutes before the start of the general offensive. When the Soviet soldiers who were awakened ran to get their weapons, they were mowed down by German machine guns. There were no bridges.
place for german commandos
The Soviet soldiers sneaked across the river on rafts or forced ashore on attack motorboats. The defending Soviet soldiers were usually occupied by the Germans before they could even fire their weapons. In some areas, the Germans originally planned to use the underwater tanks used on the British battlefield to crawl across the riverbed and break through.
broke the Soviet defense line.
"The leading troops of Army Group Center broke through the weakly fortified Soviet border positions shortly after the start of the war, and the tank troops drove straight in on the road leading to Minsk and Smolensk. The German troops on this line encountered stubborn resistance from the Soviet army.
Because the grasslands here are vast and flat, and the climate is warm and moderate, it is very suitable for the German army to launch lightning attacks. Stalin deployed the main battle group here, so the fighting was extremely fierce. On the northern front, after the German troops poured into Soviet-occupied Lithuania, they also encountered fierce resistance from the Soviet army.
"However, the overall situation of the war was extremely unfavorable to the Soviet Union. Due to the German air raids and artillery shelling in the early stages of the war, most of the Soviet communication lines were destroyed, resulting in serious chaos in the defenders. Commanding agencies at all levels could not control the situation.
Orders are issued to the troops under their jurisdiction, and emergency news from the troops stationed at the border cannot be transmitted to the higher-level headquarters.
"Three hours after the war started, the People's Commissariat of Defense of the Soviet Union issued an order to counterattack the enemy with all its strength and demanded that 'where the enemy crosses the Soviet border', they will be destroyed 'where'. However, until this time, Moscow still estimated the German invasion
As a provocative action, rather than the start of a war, all fighter planes were ordered to only penetrate 100 to 150 kilometers deep into the German rear to fight back and bomb Königsberg.
"Unfortunately, even such a conservative order was given too late. In the middle of the night, the German Air Force began bombing Soviet airports. Sixty-six airports on the Soviet border were bombed. Ten hours after the war broke out, the Soviet Air Force
1,200 aircraft have been lost, 800 of which were blown up at the airport. The Air Force of the Western Special Military Region suffered particularly heavy losses.
"When the vast front from the Baltic Sea to the Danube River to the Caucasus on the southern front has been fought for several hours, most Soviet people still don't know that the Germans have entered the country. On the morning of the 23rd, it was published in the "Pravda" published in Moscow
It was the editorial "Destroying the Ural Bandits", and it was not until Molotov gave a radio speech at noon that people knew that the Soviet-German war had broken out."
Hu Jialin did not participate in the previous meeting. He asked with some confusion: "With such a large-scale troop mobilization by Germany, doesn't the Soviet Union have any response measures? In addition, why was Stalin so confused? A few hours after the war, he still had no consciousness.
Do you realize the seriousness of the problem?”
Liu Qing explained in detail the deceptive tactics used by Hitler's government and army. Seeing Hu Jialin's mouth wide open with disbelief on his face, An Yi specifically added: "Stalin did not dare to overly stimulate Germany in order to prioritize the solution of threats on the Eastern Front.
People are always constrained in doing things. Even when the intelligence department responds to the deployment and mobilization of German troops, they always think that it is a provocation by the United States and Britain, and still strictly prohibit the troops from entering a state of combat readiness. This failure is doomed!
"Huzi, do you still remember the little moves made by the Japanese army before the Marco Polo Bridge Incident three years ago? Song Zheyuan and Stalin had similar reactions. The result was that they not only failed to preserve peace, but accelerated the war. You can imagine if the Soviet army had
If the German army responds in time to the action, Hitler will have to think carefully about whether it is worth it! Then even if he passively responds to the war, he will not be as passive as he is now... Of course, the consequence of this may be that Hitler will set his sights on the target.
us!"
Hu Jialin said "Oh" and relaxed his frown. The other generals also understood and nodded.
Liu Qing continued to explain: "On the first day of the war, the German army invaded 25 to 50 kilometers into the Soviet Union. Its northern group broke into 25 to 35 kilometers in the direction of Shaoliang in the evening of that day, and the tank troops penetrated 25 to 35 kilometers in the direction of Vilnius.
advanced fifty
Five kilometers away, Daugavpils was captured on the 28th, forced to cross the West Dvina River, Liepaja was captured on the 29th, and Riga was captured on the same day. According to the German army, south of the West Dvina River
During the battle on the shore, a total of fifteen Soviet divisions were annihilated.
"The German Central Group set out from the east area of Warsaw and carried out the main assault with the Second and Third Tank Armies. On the evening of the first day, the Second Tank Army advanced thirty to forty-five kilometers, forming a front line against the Soviet Western Front.
The siege situation, until June 28, successively in Belostok and Slony
Two bag-shaped encirclements were formed in the Mu area, surrounding the Soviet 3rd and 10th Army. On the same day, the 2nd and 3rd Tank Corps, which served as the pincer-shaped outer circle, met in Minsk. On June 29,
The Second Tank Army Group also occupied Borisov on the Berezena River, forming the third encirclement pocket.
"The German Army's Southern Group has made slower progress, but by the end of last month it also captured the city of Lviv and is currently advancing towards the Dashava region, which is an important oil and gas producing area in Ukraine and is extremely important to the German army's strategy.
“The offensive of the German Turkish group went relatively smoothly. Yerevan, the capital of the Republic of Armenia, was occupied by the Germans on the 27th of last month. Several hydropower stations on the Razdan River were blown up by the retreating Soviet troops, causing the downstream area to become almost a desert.
.The main force of the German army has pushed towards Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. The war is progressing rapidly, and the Soviet Union's Baku oil fields are facing a huge threat."
Seeing Liu Qing put down his baton, An Yi pondered for a moment and asked: "Liu Qing, please introduce Stalin's response. It sounds like the situation of the Soviet army is not good!"
"OK!"
Liu Qing responded, and then said: "Stalin saw that the commander on the Western Front was panicked and had no combat effectiveness at all. In desperation, he activated Zhukov again and sent him to the Southwest Front Army as the representative of the headquarters. At the same time, Shaposh
Marshal Nikov was sent to the Western Front to strengthen leadership there. The Soviet General Staff was temporarily presided over by the Minister of Operations, General Vadudin."
An Yi nodded. He knew that due to the threat from the Eastern Front, this was Stalin's relatively capable lineup. However, the Soviet Union, facing a two-front war, was much worse than the previous situation in history. Now it is
It depends on the reaction of the Far Eastern Republic.
Thinking of this, An Yi asked again: "How is the battle in Kazan going?"
Liu Qing did not answer directly, but motioned to the staff to show the slides. On the snow-white wall, pictures appeared one after another, which were captured from outer space on the front line of Kazan. The Soviet Army and the Far East Army were clearly separated.
, but it seems that there was no exchange of fire between the two sides, and the Far Eastern Army was even retreating in some places.
"According to satellite reconnaissance and news from the Far East, the Far East Army and the Soviet Army have stopped fighting on the third day since Germany invaded the Soviet Union! We are stationed in Kazan and serve as the frontline chief of staff of the Far East Army as a military observer.
General An Mingqi called. Now the Far Eastern Army High School
The situation at the upper level is delicate. Many leaders have issued calls to "stop the civil war" and "unite the foreign affairs." Some aggressive old Red Army commanders and fighters even issued a call to "defend the Soviets." The top leaders of the Far Eastern Republic have held meetings continuously to discuss the war between Germany and the Soviet Union.
Let’s start a discussion.”
The generals subconsciously turned their attention to An Yi and Yang Jie, admiring their keen premonitions.
"well--"
An Yi shook his head and murmured: "I knew the situation would be like this... If what I expected is correct, the Far East must have sent a peace envoy to Moscow now. Now it depends on Stalin's determination
! However, you might as well put yourself in his shoes and think about it. Chairman Chiang and the Chinese Communist Party had such a huge hatred, but they could still unite in front of the communist invaders. The situation Stalin is facing now is even worse than the situation in China at the beginning.
I believe he will also make the right choice!
"It's a pity that my Huangpu teachers have not yet felt the pain of ideological differences. Once they voluntarily give up leadership of the army, it will be inevitable... Our days of peace in the Urals and northern Siberian borders are coming to an end.
Already..."
