Since the war started last month, newspapers will publish "extra reports" almost every day, and the radio will promptly report the news of how many Japanese troops the Anjia Army destroyed in a certain place and how much land they recovered. The people are as happy as the Chinese New Year every day. Today evening, let's talk about The news that the victory of the Two Rivers and the elimination of more than 700,000 Japanese and puppet troops came from the hourly report of the Fuzhou and Xinjing Radio Stations, which made the entire South China and even the Chinese areas around the world excited. Fireworks and firecrackers were sold out in an instant. After nightfall, there were "crackling" sounds everywhere, and people who didn't know better thought they were caught in a terrible war.
However, An Yi did not celebrate with thousands of soldiers and civilians, because at this time, he was hosting a banquet for Liu Shenkov at the Shizilou Sichuan Restaurant on the bank of Yuqing Lake in the west of Xinjing City.
Lyushenkov was dressed in the uniform of a Marshal. In order to divide and win over the senior leaders of the Far East Republic, the Soviet Union awarded Lyushenkov, Vasily, Hulin, Fediko, Leonid, and Smirnov Six people have been promoted to the rank of Marshal, and the other generals at all levels have been promoted. More than two million Far Eastern troops will be organized into the Far East Red Flag Combat Group, and will soon be transferred west to join the Soviet-German battlefield.
The local troops of the Soviet Red Army will officially enter the Urals and Western Siberia in late October. They originally evacuated to the industrial bases in the Volga River region. However, it is no longer safe due to the loss of the Caucasus and Dnieper River defense lines, and they have to return to the Urals and Siberia again. move.
Due to the participation of the Far East Army in the war, although the highest level of the Soviet Union was more confident in holding Moscow, they still prepared for the worst. For this reason, the Soviet Ambassador to South China paid a special visit to An Yi to seek assistance from all aspects. The attitude given by An Yi There is no free lunch in the world. Normal trade can be carried out on the basis of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity.
This time Liu Shenkov came to Xinjing, firstly to visit his family and tell him about his affairs, secondly to see the living conditions of the soldiers and civilians in the Far East in South China and seek peace of mind, and thirdly to say his final farewell to An Yi.
Liushenkov arrived in Xinjing at 11 o'clock yesterday midnight on a special plane sent by General Zhao Rui, commander of the Central Asian Army's return zone. An Yi went to greet him in person and sent him to a Russian residential community in the west of Xinjing to reunite with his family. .Liushenkov visited the families of senior generals this morning, and stayed at home to accompany his wife and daughter in the afternoon. Now he feels completely relaxed.
In order to avoid a sad situation at the wine table, Liu Shenkov came to see An Yi alone this time.
After listening to An Yi's introduction to the recent war between China and Japan, Liu Shenkov saluted An Yi, then raised his head and drank it all, put down the glass, and said in slightly unfamiliar Chinese:
"Xiao Yi, this glass of wine is for your great achievements! Unlike the successive victories of your army, the situation on the Soviet-German battlefield is very pessimistic. After the victory in the Kiev battle, Hitehler issued the first Order No. 35, codenamed Operation Typhoon, was to mobilize troops from the northern and southern wings, merge with the central cluster, initiate the Battle of Moscow as soon as possible, and occupy Moscow, the political, economic and cultural center of the Soviet Union, before the end of the year. central city, completely crushing the Soviet Union's will to resist. That madman Hitler wanted to hold a military parade in Moscow on Christmas, and all the mobilization of the German army revolved around it.
"The first to make changes was the German Army Group Northern. On September 16, after the failure of the first attack on Leningrad, the commander of the German Army Group Northern, Loeb, continued to search for Leningrad. At the weak point of the defense, he directed the German troops to break through the defense from the joint area of the 42nd Return Army and the 55th Return Army commanded by Zhukov, and captured the city of Pushy, 18 kilometers south of Leningrad. It loops to the left to reach the Pulkovo Highlands just south of Ningrad, and to the right to Korpino in the southeast.
"However, under the stubborn resistance of Zhukov's troops, the German army's offensive speed was as slow as a snail's crawl. Its advancing speed dropped from five kilometers per day in July to less than two kilometers per month in September. In the end, the deployment was witnessed. The date for the troops to march to Moscow was getting closer and closer, and Marshal Loeb decided to make a last-ditch effort at all costs.
"On September 19, the German attack on Leningrad reached its climax. The German infantry, under the cover of tanks and Huike, launched a fierce attack on the Pulkovo Highlands and other places, and the artillery carried out a continuous attack on Leningrad for seventeen hours. During the bombardment, the aviation force dispatched nearly 300 aircrafts and conducted six waves of bombings on the city. However, the soldiers and civilians of Leningrad finally withstood the crazy German attack.
"In late September, the elite troops of the German Army Group Northern were gradually transferred away from the northern battlefield. The 4th Armored Corps of Heppner and the 3rd Armored Corps of Hoth, formerly of the Army Group Central, were The 57th Armored Corps was all transferred to the direction of Moscow, and soon the 18th Air Force was also transferred to the 2nd Air Force to participate in the battle against Moscow.
"While the northern route was being mobilized, the German troops that had won the Kiev battle on the southern route were also divided into two groups and continued to advance eastward, advancing into the lower reaches of the Dnieper River and the Don River plain, striving to capture Donbas and Kerry in one fell swoop. Mia Peninsula, so that many supplies of combat materials can be sent to the front line through the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, and the other route will aggressively follow the cities of Konotop, Kursk, Orel and other cities, and go straight to Moscow. .
"Because he was worried that the German army would repeat its old tricks and reenact the siege of Kiev, Yegorov, who returned to the command post in the middle battlefield and won consecutive victories, asked for instructions to return to Dahuilin and received permission, and led his troops to retreat to Moscow on their own initiative. , implement defense in an area more than 300 kilometers northwest of Ostashkov and Yelniya."
An Yi nodded frequently after hearing this.
In fact, he knew all these situations. Through going back to the intelligence stations of several major intelligence systems in Nanhua in Germany, he even knew more about the inside story than Lyushenkov.
For example: Pavlov, the former commander of the Western Front, was ordered to be dismissed and shot by Stahuilin because of the failure of the Battle of Minsk. Stahuilin's son Yasha was captured by the Germans during the Battle of Kiev. The top German army officials once discussed the key points of the attack. Intense debates, etc., many of which are classified information.
At present, the German troops and the Soviet Red Army are already engaged in a massacre of three to four million troops in the area around Moscow. The Far East Army will definitely be transferred to the Moscow battlefield, and Lyushenkov's visit must be related to this.
Sure enough, after Liushenkov introduced the situation, he said:
"The situation in Moscow is already very dangerous. Due to the serious shortage of troops, many fronts have formed a situation where the German army is outnumbered. Sihui Dahuilin and Yegorov have called me one after another, asking me to lead the troops westward as soon as possible. Previously, due to immigration, I have been putting off the migration issue. The day before yesterday, the last immigrant finally entered Nanhua. I feel much more relaxed!
"In the two-month Great Migration, a total of more than 9.7 million people chose to leave. The rest are those who are confident that they can withstand the political review of the internal affairs department. To achieve this, my family and I My comrades have a clear conscience. The returning troops have decided to depart on the 20th of this month and transfer westward to join the Moscow battlefield. Our more than two million returning troops are expected to serve as the final strategic counterattack force and engage in the battle against the German army. !”
Speaking of this, Lyushenkov lamented: "For more than three years, we have been fighting to the death with Moscow. Even Blyukher, Bukharin and Rykov died in secret assassinations by agents sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I never thought that one day we would unite under the same flag and face the outside world in unison.
"Based on the grievances between our group and Sihui Dahuilin, and my continuous disobedience in the past two months, it is estimated that this trip to the west will be more unlucky. But this time when I went to Xinjing, I saw my wife My daughter and many other Russian families are well taken care of by you, and I feel relieved!"
An Yi's eyes were red: "Lao Huishi, don't you have to go back? You resolutely gave up a country and returned to the party and returned to the position of leader of the government and military. You have already done your best to benevolent and righteous. There is no need to wade through muddy waters again. ! As long as you are willing to stay, how about I make you the president of the National Defense University and concurrently the deputy chief of staff?"
"Good boy, I knew you would say that!"
Liushenkov smiled slightly: "What you don't understand is that the Soviet Socialist Union is the hard work of our generation, the cause and ideal pursued throughout our lives. If it is in danger, I will only be a bystander." existence, I'm afraid I will never forgive myself in the future! Moreover, aside from my faith and Islam, I am still a Slav. Now that Nazi Germany is committing genocide in the Soviet-occupied areas, I must I have to do something for my people, the Hui people!"
"But don't worry too much. Si Hui Da Hui Lin doesn't dare to do anything to us people rashly. After all, we have more than two million troops to back us up. For a long period of time, Si Hui will Dahui Lindu can only adopt a strategy to win over us, otherwise if it fails due to internal strife, he, the supreme leader, will suffer the most!"
Seeing that his persuasion was useless, An Yi gave up and asked: "Lao Huishi, what do you think of the upcoming battle in Moscow?"
"Hitler was too arrogant. Knowing that we would definitely join the Western Front battlefield after we expressed our attitude, he did not consolidate the existing territory and used land use policies to please the people in the occupied areas. They wantonly built concentration camps, slaughtered Jewish and Slavic people wantonly, and rashly advanced eastward when the rear was unstable. This is an act of digging one's own grave!"
Lyushenkov said very confidently: "I am convinced that the extremely cold weather in winter near Moscow will become our natural ally. At the same time, as long as the Soviet Supreme Command makes reasonable use of the more than two million Far Eastern Army's vital forces, we will It will definitely deal a devastating blow to the Germans!"
An Yi had watched the movie "Battle of Moscow" when he was a child, and knew that this was a decisive battle in which the German army turned from prosperity to decline. The current situation seemed not much different from the original history, so he immediately nodded: "If the Soviet Union If we can win the Battle of Moscow, then the United States and the United Kingdom, which are losing ground in the Pacific and Africa, will invest heavily in Stalin, and the good days of the Germans may be coming to an end!"
"Xiaoyi, I want you to promise me something." Liushenkov hesitated before speaking.
An Yi was a little surprised, but did not rush to express his position. He asked: "Old Hui teacher, please make it clear if you have any requests. As long as it does not harm the interests of my country and the Hui people, I will try my best to agree to it. Of course, if you agree with me, It goes against my ideals and beliefs, so I can only say sorry!"
Liushenkov did not expect An Yi to answer so simply. He was silent for a while, waved his hand and said:
"That's all, that's all. We are all people with persistence in our hearts. I won't ask for trouble. I just hope that Nanhua under your leadership can coexist peacefully with the Soviet Union in the future. Whatever matters can be negotiated. Now the Soviet Union has When we reach the most difficult time, we can no longer stand the hardship!"
An Yi smiled faintly and did not take up the topic. He knew what Liushenkov wanted to say, and it was nothing more than hoping that South China would be more tolerant when it came to disputes over territory and sovereignty over Siberia and the Far East. This issue was indeed very acute. , because most of the territory that Nanhua now owns came from the Far East Republic. Even within the former Far East Republic, many people criticized this, let alone the Soviet Union. Once Sri Lanka If Hui Da Hui Lin wins victory on the European battlefield, it is very likely that the situation will turn into chaos again.
This is also an important reason why An Yi has always respected Lyushenkov and is willing to accept the migration of people. In a sense, without the emergence of the Republic of the Far East, there would be no vast South China. territory.
However, respect does not mean that there is no bottom line. At least there is no negotiation on territory. Other aspects can be considered. If the Soviets honestly follow the rules, An Yi would not mind making reciprocal transactions with the other party, such as The Soviet Union inherited a large amount of gold from Imperial Russia, and emptied the Spanish treasury during the Spanish Civil War. In addition, the income from mining over the years is definitely not a small sum. Anyway, Nanhua has seized a large number of Japanese and British weapons, so I don't mind. Exchange it for some real money and silver. In addition, there are a large number of cultural relics from China in the museums of the Soviet Union. Now the Allies and the Axis Powers have opened their mouths, and a large number of cultural relics have returned. If we can add the cultural relics from China inherited by the Soviet Union from imperial Russia, then It couldn't be better!
Of course, if the other party wants to bully the weak, then it is better to teach him a lesson and not let him go back to Dahuilin and cut some flesh, so that he can understand the reality clearly.
Kuala Lumpur is a city developed by the Chinese mining industry. It is located at the intersection of the Gombak River and the Klang River in the central and southern part of the Malay Peninsula. It is the second largest city in Malaya after Singapore.
When the war in East India, Burma and Malay became increasingly unfavorable, Lieutenant General Ando Toshiyoshi, commander of the Japanese Malay Front, planned to launch a large-scale counterattack to restore the current unfavorable situation.
At three o'clock in the afternoon on October 17, the forward troops of the Second Regiment of the Anjia Army entered the town of Batu Aram, 30 kilometers northwest of Kuala Lumpur. By six o'clock in the evening, they had already settled in the town and the surrounding land of more than ten square kilometers. The officers and soldiers of one division have entered. There are still two other divisions belonging to the Regiment Regiment stationed on the Selangei River line north of Batu Aram town.
Since taking over from the 10th Regiment Army at the beginning of this month to continue the offensive against towns in eastern Malaya, the Second Regiment Army has defeated Ipoh, Kampar, Metro, Anshun, Songxi, Tanjong Malim and Kuala Selangor. In Lanyi and other towns, wherever they went, the Japanese army was defeated one after another. However, after the continuous battles, the second regiment was also quite tired. According to the plan, the second regiment stabilized the front line of Batu Aran Town. , the 10th Group Army again launched the attack, and the next target of the attack was Kuala Lumpur City.
The Japanese army was not willing to defend passively, and was preparing to take advantage of the mountainous and hilly terrain in the northwest area of Kuala Lumpur to give the Anjia Army a decisive blow.
At nightfall, the Japanese 21st Division, the 2nd Independent Infantry Brigade and the 22nd Field Heavy Artillery Regiment, plus the Malayan Army's 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions, nearly 100,000 troops The troops returned and entered preset positions around Batu Aran Town.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the time for the attack was getting closer and closer. Tens of thousands of ghosts and Malay soldiers who were ambushing back in various starting positions were trying hard to suppress the rapid breathing caused by their accelerated heartbeats.
Tens of thousands of bayonets exuded a murderous aura under the full moon, inspiring the Japanese army's heroic spirit. Occasionally, there was a collision between bayonets, and they would immediately be attacked by commander Cao, sergeant and other grassroots officers. A very severe scolding!
Second Lieutenant Mitsui Juichi was lying on the ground, silently observing the town five kilometers away in the bright moonlight, and constantly taking deep breaths - he was not nervous, but excited from the bottom of his heart. Mitsui Shouichi just graduated from the Army Sergeant School this year. Seeing the Japanese army's successive victories in the Pacific and Indian Ocean battlefields inspired his courage and determination to "make progress". With his positive request and the support of his family, he did not stay in Japan, but It was when he came south to Malaya. In the past ten months, he was extremely angry at the disastrous defeat his brothers had experienced when returning to the army. Today he was going to prove here that the Japanese army was still invincible, and at the same time, he used the blood of the enemy to earn military medals and become the family logo. Increase brilliance.
"Huh!? What is that?"
Mitsui Shouyi heard a dull sound in the distant air, and his heart moved. He immediately opened his eyes hard and looked, but he could not see anything. At this time, the dark night sky suddenly lit up, and brilliance appeared in the sky. The dazzling heavy artillery shells streaked across the sky with ballistic traces, and the bright and gorgeous bullet marks weaved a beautiful picture in the air.
"Enemy attack!"
Reminds from grassroots officers came one after another from the position, and soon the 22nd Regiment of the Field Heavy Artillery, which was deployed in the rear, began to fight back. With the rumble of artillery, meteors flew back and forth in the sky, which was beautiful and moving!
Second Lieutenant Mitsui Shouichi was pulled into the trench by an experienced sergeant nearby and asked to huddle back to avoid possible shrapnel attacks. Mitsui Shouichi looked up at the sky. Although he could hear the roar of the motor, he still Nothing was found. All they could see was the shrieking artillery shells falling continuously from the artillery position behind the position. Huge explosions were heard one after another, and the fire that shot up into the sky illuminated the earth.
Mitsui Juichi and his superiors did not know that while they were still in the process of returning troops to their headquarters, the S4 reconnaissance aircraft in the sky reported the situation of their mobilization back to the Anjia Army Central and Southern Front Headquarters. Gu Changfeng therefore Special combat deployments were carried out. After nightfall, a motorized infantry division and a tank tank division deployed on the front line of the Yihe River in Selangor had quietly moved to the vicinity of Batu Aram Town. At the same time, the Army Aviation Brigade directly under the front army was also mobilized to the front line.
When the second group of artillery units directly under the regiment returned to their positions, they immediately launched a fierce attack on the Japanese army.
Fifty black-painted armed helicopters were divided into several parts, almost following the trajectory of the Japanese heavy artillery fire, all the way to the Japanese artillery position. The large number of rockets instantly drove back one after another. Zi's heavy artillery emplacement was reduced to a sea of flames.
Gradually, no more bullet marks were seen on the battlefield. Only the artillery of the Anjia Army continued to discharge artillery shells towards the Japanese position. The continuous bombardment spread forward from the artillery position behind the Japanese army, over and over again. The Japanese army's positions were plowed over and over again, with such fierce firepower and long duration that it was unprecedented in Mitsui Touichi's life.
"Baga! The person whose counterattack was sent back discovered it in advance. The situation is not good!"
When Mitsui Hisashi heard the whispered curse from the sergeant sergeant in his ear, he was no longer as excited as before, but was replaced by anxiety and uneasiness. This sergeant was a veteran with extremely rich combat experience. There are only a few backbones in this squadron in this area. Now seeing the fear on his face, Mitsui Juichi is also under great pressure!
"boom--"
Several consecutive heavy artillery shells exploded around the position, and the splashed dust quickly covered the trenches. Mitsui Juichi was quickly disgraced.
You must know that veterans are afraid of counterattacks, but recruits are most afraid of counterattacks. Many recruits who are full of enthusiasm are often so frightened by such fierce fire that their legs shake, and some even become incontinent from fright. Morale was completely lost. Although Mitsui Juichi did not wet his pants, he also found that his legs had begun to tremble uncontrollably.
This descendant of the Mitsui family, who is dedicated to making great achievements, secretly cursed himself for being useless while trying his best to control his fear. When fear reaches a certain level, it will turn into anger. All the blood in his body seems to have poured into his brain, and he fiercely Cursing the enemy, but mentally imagining how to ravage the opponent happily next.
"Kill me!"
The sound of charging came from the position, and the captain raised his command knife and rushed out of the trench first. It is not the tradition of the Japanese army to be continuously passively bombed. The commander of this operation—Tanaka Jiuichi, commander of the 21st Division The general gave the order to attack decisively.
The overwhelming cry of killing rang out. Mitsui Juichi led the soldiers of his squadron and rushed out of the position howling with most of the returning troops. The bayonets were as cold as autumn water, reflecting the ferocious and terrifying appearance of the Japanese army due to the resurgence of fever. Face. However, artillery shells exploded around the attacking Japanese soldiers. The sharp shrapnel didn't matter whether you were born noble or not. They drilled into the flesh when they saw it and sliced away when they touched the bones. The Japanese soldiers fell down in waves.
The Malay soldiers of Gui Huizi and their land strictly followed the drill and did not care about the life or death of their companions. They just kept their heads down and charged. Mitsui Shouichi clearly remembered that when he was in the sergeant school, his tactics instructor told him that any enemy who faced Faced with the heroic and fearless charge of the Yamato Hui warriors, the will to resist would instantly collapse. Mitsui Juichi was convinced of this, so he roared loudly and sprinted forward.
At this moment, there was violent shaking on the ground, and a huge roar sounded in the sky.
Mitsui Shouichi raised his head in confusion, wanting to see what was going on? But as soon as he raised his head, he was stunned for an instant - Oh my God, not only did the enemy not survive the heroic charge of the imperial soldiers and their brave servants, Collapse, but fought back tit for tat!
The enemy is not attacking flesh and blood, but a torrent of steel composed of tanks, armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery! Hundreds of Leopard II tanks, with their muzzles raised, are covered by more armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery. What was it like to rush over? The psychological impact it had on the person involved can be fully reflected in the Japanese soldiers.
There is no doubt about everything. Artillery shells, parallel machine guns, high-level dual-purpose machine guns, and general-purpose machine guns, like combine harvesters, cut down the ghosts and Malay soldiers to the ground. And in the local mechanization department, Behind the team, shells from heavy artillery, rocket launchers, and mortars continued to fall like hail, taking away a large number of lives.
It was almost a close encounter, and Mitsui Juichi suddenly discovered that there were a large number of Anjiajun infantry between the tanks and armored vehicles. His heart tightened, and he shouted with a rifle in his 38-style rifle, wanting to attack them. An Anjia Army soldier rushed forward, but he suddenly felt a coldness in his chest. When he lowered his head, he realized that his entire chest had been pierced by a large-caliber bullet fired from an unknown source, and his intestines and stomach were returning from the hole. The blood spurted out of my open chest, and suddenly everything went dark, and I couldn't feel anything anymore.
The tenacity of the Japanese army did not last long, and finally collapsed in the early morning.
Under the illumination of the full moon, the tanks and armored vehicles of the 4th and 6th Motorized Infantry Divisions and the 5th Tank and Armored Division, just like the Mongolian cavalry in history, did not give their opponents a chance to breathe at all. After the collapse of one front, it is difficult to hope to organize a new line of defense again.
The attack distance of the mechanized unit's return team depends entirely on the physical strength of the combatants, fuel, and the amount of ammunition. But now that everything in the Anjia Army is in good condition, and with the help of helicopters in the air, once the Japanese army collapses, there will be no way to save it. With no room left, the huge mechanized troops returned like an unstoppable torrent, pouring back through the breached embankment, quickly consolidating their positions and expanding their results.
By dawn the next day, the more than 100,000 Japanese troops who were divided and surrounded, and the organized resistance had been basically eliminated. What was left was to encircle and suppress the small groups of returning troops. However, in the face of the integrated air-ground and mechanized operations of the Anjia Army, Everything is settled.
At noon, while the second regiment was still cleaning the battlefield, the tenth regiment had already bypassed Batu Aram and marched into Kuala Lumpur, taking over the second largest city in Malaya without a fight.
