Part Three The Bloody War of Resistance Chapter 10 The Furious Waves Section 5 Stalin's Attack (1)

Washington, White House, Roosevelt took the telegram sent by Weidmeier and said proudly to Marshall: "It seems they are doing a good job. Marshall. This victory will save many American youth's lives. MacArthur and Nimitz will be much less resistance."

Marshall was also extremely excited. In fact, he actually counterattacked from the mainland battlefield of China. Influenced by Stilwell, he had a bad impression of the Kuomintang army. However, Roosevelt insisted that he could trust the Kuomintang army and agreed to the strategy proposed by China and launched a counterattack from the mainland of China. Now this strategy has achieved great success.

"Yes, President Weidemai reported that the Chinese team has recovered the entire Rehe River, and the Japanese team is drawing troops from the Nanyang and Soviet battlefields to strengthen the Kwantung Army and prevent the Chinese team from attacking.

Roosevelt laughed and blew out the smoke: "Marshall, do they still have troops?"

Marshall also smiled slightly: "No, it is impossible. At the beginning of the Pacific War, the Japanese army invested about 1.1 million troops in the Southeast Asian battlefield, about 1.3 million troops in the Chinese battlefield, about 600,000 troops in the Soviet Union, and the domestic troops are unknown. It is estimated that it should be no less than 500,000. Adding the Shanghai army's troops to no less than 700,000, and the air force is no less than 300,000. In this way, the total strength of the Japanese army is about 4.5 million.

From the Battle of Hubei to the Battle of North China, the Chinese have wiped out about 1.2 million Japanese people, plus the Japanese troops that were annihilated in the South China Sea. In the past two years, the Japanese people have been wiped out 180 to 2 million, which has exceeded the Japanese people's ability to supplement. Stilwell reported in North China that there were many Japanese prisoners captured by the Chinese people, who were only sixteen or seventeen or forty presidents, and the Japanese people's human resources were almost the same."

"Yes, Japan himself will not be able to replenish the troops lost in the Battle of North China unless he doesn't want to do anything. " Roosevelt was extremely satisfied. He turned his head to Hopkins and said, "Harry, with this victory, will the Chinese have the ability to quell the rebellion in Xinjiang?"

Hopkins knew the meaning of Roosevelt's words. Vice President Wallace originally planned to stay in Chongqing for only six days, but more than ten days passed and he remained in Chongqing.

There are already political forces in China that Roosevelt made too much concessions to the Soviet Union in the Cairo and Tehran meetings, but Wallace went further than Roosevelt. Wallace believed that more comprehensive cooperation should be carried out with the Soviet Union, and this kind of cooperation should not only be carried out during the war, but also after the war. In the Sino-Soviet conflict, he clearly supported the Soviet Union and believed that it could meet the requirements of the Soviet Union for the Northeast. During Chongqing, he tried to persuade Chiang Kai-shek to make concessions to the Soviet Union. On the Xinjiang issue, he suggested that Chiang Kai-shek take peaceful means to resolve the issue: Chiang Kai-shek was angry and annoyed with him and was not easy to offend, so he simply avoided it.

Before this, Roosevelt remained silent about the Sino-Soviet conflict and did not express any public opinion on the Xinjiang rebellion. Hopkins understood that Roosevelt was waiting and watching. The United States needed the Soviet Union and Russia, and also needed China: China became stronger and stronger in the war. Nearly 100 factory equipment purchased by Soong Mei-ling in the United States are being transported to China one after another. Some factories have been put into production. Once all of these factories are successfully built, Wei Demai estimated that China's strength will increase by 50%. More importantly, as the Chinese team frequently wins on the battlefield, the favorability of the American people for China doubles, and the press's call for strengthening aid to China is increasing.

Hopkins estimated that Roosevelt was still not determined in the Sino-Soviet dispute. Eisenhower was closely preparing for the overlord operation. The British and American coalition forces had many difficulties in advancing in Italy. The Allied forces needed the cooperation of the Soviet Union on the Eastern Front: On the battlefield in Asia, China was becoming the main force of the resistance of the Japanese army, so Hopkins concluded that Roosevelt was still hesitating.

"President, Weidemai reported that China has the power to pacify the Xinjiang incident." Hopkins carefully said: "At present, the Chinese people are full of confidence. They cannot make concessions to Stalin. Moreover, even with our influence, Chiang Kai-shek will not make concessions. Ambassador Gauss reported that the Chinese generals were tough, and in politics, in addition to the **, most of the centrists also supported the government's position.

So, I suggest that Vice President Wallace would be better off leaving Chongqing and let Apple fall down on its own.”

Marshall nodded slightly. He didn't care about the Xinjiang incident. The Overlord Action being prepared was the largest landing operation in human history. Various things were unprecedentedly complex. He had to devote all his energy to completing this task.

"Then tell Wallace this." Roosevelt smiled, and then said to Marshall: "Marshall, how strict is the material that is currently transported into China every month?"

Marshall frowned slightly: "80,000 tons"

"Eighty thousand tons," said Rooseveltssopin. "Eighty thousand tons can eliminate millions of Japanese people, and hundreds of thousands of tons should be more."

"President, Japan has no million troops for the Chinese to eliminate them." Marshall muttered a little dissatisfied. He knew that Roosevelt wanted to increase material aid to China, but Operation Overlord and Soviet Russia both put forward huge material requirements. MacArthur and Nimitz's counterattack also required more materials, and it was really difficult to increase 20,000 tons per month.

"Oh, then that's it." Roosevelt was stunned, then smiled, and took back his request indifferently.

At No. 10 Downing Street, London, Churchill bit a cigar and the British Chief of Staff Brooke took a telegram from the British ambassador to China, and smiled with satisfaction: "These opium ghosts are doing well, so we don't have to worry about Southeast Asia anymore."

"Did you draw an army from the Southeast Asian theater to Europe?" Brooke was also very satisfied.

"No, no, Brooke" Churchill shook his head and said, "In Southeast Asia, in addition to the Japanese, we must also be on guard against the Chinese, who always want to return to Southeast Asia. "Brook was stunned and nodded immediately. The Chinese have already succeeded in Myanmar. If they succeed in Malaysia and Thailand, it will be difficult to curb their expansion in Southeast Asia after the war.

"I really want to know what Uncle Joseph is thinking now?" Churchill's mouth was filled with a hint of fun.

Britain also did not express any opinions on the Xinjiang rebellion. Churchill did not make any statement before Roosevelt spoke. Churchill knew the conflict between China and the Soviet Union as he knew "Stalin secretly instigated the Xinjiang rebellion" but the Chinese never gave in. After the Battle of North China, the Chinese had sufficient troops to quell the rebellion.

"Tell Méng Patton Medal" Our policy in Southeast Asia is to wait for Apple to fall on its own. The main problem is to prevent the Chinese from returning to Southeast Asia. To prevent this, the most important thing is not to use the Chinese team in the march to Southeast Asia and Indochina.

"Telection Ambassador Carl and ask him to tell Chairman Chiang Kai-shek that the Queen's government supports his actions in Xinjiang, but we hope that he can fully understand the difficulties of our government and we cannot provide direct support to the National Government for the time being."

"Oh, by the way, I'll tell Uncle Joseph that the Overlord Operation is about to begin. We hope that the Soviet army will cooperate strongly on the Eastern Front."

Brooke smiled very gentlemanly, Churchill was very cunning, afraid that the Chinese and Stalin would not fight, so he sent two telegrams to cheer up the two countries. However, Brooke was a little dissatisfied. "The Chinese were already ready to teach Stalin a lesson; Stalin had paid the price, and the consulate in Xinjiang had been completely closed. Once the Chinese successfully suppressed the rebellion, the Soviet Union's power in Xinjiang would be uprooted, and the reality was no longer allowed to fight.

In the Kremlin, Stalin was sinking. Pan Youxin's telegram was placed on his desk. Molotov and Vasilevsky were urgently called, and the office door opened. Beria quickly walked in.

Huasilevsky knew that Stalin had just asked about the situation on the Far East battlefield. "Last autumn, the Soviet army launched a counterattack on the ancient battlefield and recovered some areas. But in fact, the Soviet army did not increase its troops or supplies on the ancient battlefield. It was only because the Japanese army was severely weakened that some progress was made.

"Comrade Belia, your work in Almaty is very effective, but Alikhan Tuli's proposition is too influential, making us very passive politically."

Before Belia could speak, Stalin criticized him. Belia dared not tell a word and listened to Stalin's reprimand.

"The Eastern Turkestan Republic is inappropriate! You should revoke this title immediately!" Stalin's god was very strict and spoke up to accuse Belia of his mistakes in commanding the Xinjiang uprising: "You launched an attack on the southern Xinjiang too quickly, and lacked troops. We also scattered our strength in the southern Xinjiang and dispersed the strength of the northern Xinjiang. Aleksandlov made a serious mistake in command. You must first defeat the Central Team that is trapped in all parts of the northern Xinjiang."

After Stalin had fired, he saw that Stalin had calmed down, and then he spoke carefully: "Yes, Comrade Stalin, we are summarizing that it has decided to send Comrade Baurinov to replace Comrade Aleksandlov as the commander-in-chief of the uprising."

"The front-line command decided to replace Ahemaitijiang and Comrade Hasmu to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Xinjiang Uprising, abolish the title of Eastern Turkey, and change it to strive for autonomy and oppose the violent unification of the Kuomintang."

Stalin lit his pipe, and Belia secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Stalin's pipe represented his mood. Senior officials in the Kremlin knew that once Stalin's pipe was extinguished, it would mean that something was wrong. What was originally just a few reprimanding words might turn into dismissal and investigation, or even arrested on the spot.

"Comrade Huasilevsky, can we launch an attack in the Far East in the near future?" Stalin ignored Belia and turned to ask Huasilevsky.

"No." Huasilevsky saw that Stalin wanted to launch an attack on the Far East battlefield, but the situation in the Far East battlefield was not allowed to launch an attack: "It is winter now, and the temperature in the Far East and Méng Gu is more than 30 degrees below zero, which is not conducive to combat; in addition, the material reserves are insufficient. The General Staff believes that the attack in the Far East and Méng Gu will not be carried out until after spring. During this period, 50,000 shells, 200 tanks, and 50,000 troops must be added to these two battlefields."

"Ice and snow are friends of the Russians." Stalin god serenely interrupted Huaseylevsky without hesitation, and said extremely arbitrary: "The General Staff must formulate a small offensive plan in the near future, launch an offensive in the ancient and Far East, restore the Far East, and push the front to Manchuria."

Huasilevsky took a deep breath. Even without considering climate reasons, the main force of the Soviet army was in the ancient Méng area. The Far East was not only lacking troops, but also lacking ammunition. After occupying the Stanov Mountains, Japan built fortifications in the local area. After three years, these fortifications were already very complete. To conquer the Stanov Mountains, in addition to sufficient ammunition, "the Soviet army in the Far East also needed enough troops, but the Far East did not have them.

"Comrade Stalin" Huaseyevsky advised helplessly: "The Far East now has only 50,000 troops, and in three years, it has only replenished two thousand tons of materials, including food and ammunition, and it is unable to launch an attack."

"So what about the ancient times?" Stalin's face was ashen. The Soviet-German battlefield needed a large amount of supplies. Only after meeting the Soviet-German battlefield was satisfied, they only provided supplies to the Japanese battlefield. On the battlefield against Japan, the Far Eastern troops were rankling behind the ancient front. In a few years, they only received very little supplies.

"Comrade Stalin, the Méng Gu Front had a strength of 160,000, but they faced a strength of 200,000 Japanese troops." Huaseylevsky said that the Soviet army is currently planning a spring and summer offensive. This is an unprecedented offensive and requires concentrating almost all materials and troops. It is really unable to provide support to Méng Gu and the Far East.

"No, Comrade Huasilevsky." "Who is Stalin?" He immediately interrupted him: "The main force of the Japanese army has been transferred. It is good to have 50,000 Japanese troops in the ancient area. The rest are all puppet troops and do not have much combat power. Comrade Huasilevsky. "I want to know when, when can we launch an attack in the ancient and the Far East?"

"To launch an attack in Méng Gu," one must supplement 100,000 tons of materials. "Huasilevsky was not scared by Stalin." He still said according to his own ideas: "And we have to wait until the weather warms up before implementing it. Comrade Stalin, I suggest launching another attack in mid-May."

"At the end of April, this is the deadline I give you!" Stalin's tone was extremely rude.

"I see."

Belia shook her head in her heart. Huasilevsky must have not understood yet. What Stalin wants is to launch an attack as soon as possible. After the "Zhongzhan" team won in North China, it has approached the gate of Manchuria. If the Zhongzhan team is waiting for the entire Manchuria to occupy the entire Manchuria, Stalin's plan in the Far East will be completely lost.

"No, it's not that the ancient fronts at the end of April, but that the Far Eastern fronts launched an attack at the end of April. The ancient fronts were to launch an attack in early April and to restore the entire ancient country in early May." Stalin roared at Vasilevsky.

Huasilevsky sighed. It was not that he did not know the situation on the battlefield in China, nor that he was not unaware of Stalin's plan, but military was military and could not be false. But now, he had to surrender to Stalin's will. He had tried to hide it from Stalin just now, and Stalin did not pursue it. If he continued to hold on, it would be very dangerous.

"Comrade Molotov" Stalin turned to Molotov, who was a little short: "Comrade Pan Youxin must make greater efforts to convince Chiang Kai-shek to agree to a peaceful resolution of the Xinjiang incident."

Molotov did not speak, Stalin continued: "Of course, before this, the rebels in Xinjiang must win some victory and strengthen their strength. Comrade Belia."

Beria always maintained respect. At this moment, when Stalin turned around, his expression became even more respectful. "Continue to strengthen the power of the Xinjiang uprisingers, what are your plans?"

"Comrade Stalin, the 9th Red Regiment and the 12th Red Regiment in Almaty have already reached the Sino-Soviet border and can cross the border at any time. In addition, the Third Air Force Battalion has also made preparations. In addition, the 8th Armored Brigade of the Far East of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also preparing to go to the Sino-Soviet border." Beria secretly thanked in his heart that the 8th Armored Brigade of the Far East was an armed force using US aid supplies from Iranian channels. All of them were natives of Kazakhstan. This was originally a troops that the General Staff Headquarters were preparing to send to the Soviet-German battlefield, but he was left behind for various reasons and is now in Xinjiang.

"What are you waiting for? Go over immediately." Stalin gave the order without hesitation.

"Comrade Molotov filed a serious protest to Chiang Kai-shek's government and warned him that if this move leads to a complete breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations, the responsibility will be borne by the Chinese government.

"After a pause, he added: "Tell President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill what we mean."

Molotov nodded and asked again: "Comrade Stalin, should you ask the Chinese comrades to cooperate?"

"You said w." Stalin looked extremely contemptuous, and he played with the pipe in his hand: "Ji Chi, a Maggielin-like socialist, he would not sacrifice for socialism."

Molotov did not speak. This was not the first time he heard Stalin's name, Maggielin was margarine, Stalin said that Pston was a fake socialist. Everyone present knew that Stalin was extremely dissatisfied. Since the beginning of the Soviet-Japanese War, until now, Pston has violated Stalin's wishes several times. This is to be replaced by a certain SS. leader in Eastern Europe, who may have been arrested and shot. But Ziao is fine. He has the support of the army. Not only can Stalin withdraw him, he also has no choice but to do anything to him.

Stalin stood up silently, walked to the window, looked at the bell tower of the Kremlin in the distance, and after a while, he turned around and said, "Well, Maggielin-like socialists, also socialists, Molotov telegraphed Yan'an that we hope that they will promote a peaceful solution to the Xinjiang uprising and make full use of the moderate power within the Kuomintang and their military power. Comrade Pan Youxin should visit Mr. Sun Wen's widow as soon as possible to obtain her understanding."

Molotov breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was very worried that Stalin would deal with Pan Youxin in anger. Judging from the incident before and after, he believed that the Xinjiang incident was launched too quickly, Chiang Kai-shek's attitude was very firm, and the victory of the Battle of North China enhanced Chiang Kai-shek's confidence. More importantly, Roosevelt secretly disguised Stalin and leaked Stalin's plan in Tehran, which aroused the vigilance of various political parties in China. Therefore, when the National Government linked the Xinjiang incident with Stalin's plan, it was very persuasive.
