Piaotian Literature Part 3 Bloody War of Resistance Chapter 11 Chaotian Que   Section 5 Dawn (Sixth)

The war has undergone a tremendous change this year, and the allies have achieved great victories on various battlefields. As China revived the Northeast, good news was frequent in the European battlefield.

In early July, the Allies finally broke out of the Normandy swamp area, captured the Normandy transportation hub Saint-Lo, and cut the German defense line into two sections. The British army captured Caen at the same time. At this point, more than one million Allies landed in France, and the landing field expanded to 150 kilometers, with a depth of about 35 kilometers, firmly gaining a foothold and laying the foundation for the next step of liberation of France.

Compared with the Western Front, the Eastern Front has greater victory.

In order to cooperate with the Allied landing operations, the Soviet army launched the Battle of Baglation, which was an unprecedented battle. The Soviet army invested a total of more than 1.4 million troops, more than 5,000 tanks and self-propelled artillery, and more than 5,000 combat aircraft.

By the end of June, the Soviet army surrounded five German divisions in Vitebsk, and then the right-wing troops surrounded six German divisions in Bobruisk. In early July, the Soviet army completely wiped out the besieged German troops and recovered Minsk, the capital of Belarus. Germany's most powerful force cluster, the Central Army, was completely defeated. The soldiers retreated in a scattered and vanished on the wilderness of Guangrao, Belarus under the impact of Soviet tanks.

Now no one doubts the failure of the Axis powers anymore, from the white palaces across the ocean to the medieval streets of Britain, to the towering and tall Kremlin, no one doubts the end of the war.

There were few people on Red Square. A black Volga car drove through Red Square into the Kremlin gate. The tall Marshal Huaseyevsky got out of the car and was then led into the hall by the officers who had already been waiting there.

Following the gorgeous hall to the second floor, outside the office in a corner of the second floor, Stalin's adjutant saw Huasilevsky coming and immediately pushed open the door. This action made Huasilevsky feel suddenly. In the past, no matter who it was, he had to inform him outside Stalin's office, and he could only go in after getting permission, but today there was no.

Sure enough, Stalin was paced back and forth in the room, and seemed to have not seen Huasilevsky come in at all. Huasilevsky had to speak first: "Comrade Stalin, General Staff, Marshal Huasilevsky was ordered to arrive."

"Yeah." Stalin hummed softly from his nostrils. He turned around several times, as if he had made up his mind before he could gain a foothold: "Comrade Huaseylevsky, what combat plans do the General Staff have in the Far East?"

Huasilevsky was stunned for a moment. He thought Stalin hurriedly called him to ask about the news from the Belarusian front, or it would be the news from the Ukrainian front.

The collapse of the German Central Army was already revealed. The Soviet army opened a huge gap of 400 kilometers on the German front. The German Command had to draw troops from the Ukrainian front to block this gap. The Soviet army took the opportunity to launch an attack on the Ukrainian front. The goal of this attack was to recover the entire territory of Ukraine, and take the opportunity to attack the country and attack Romania, Bulgaria and other countries.

Huasilevsky never expected that Stalin's problem was actually the Far East.

"Due to the failure of the Japanese army in China, the Far Eastern Front made great progress. The main battle of the Far Eastern Front was to recover Vladivostok. At present, our army has approached the Sino-Russian border and captured a large number of enemy troops. The main force of the Front is advancing towards Vladivostok."

The Far East battlefield was only a secondary battlefield in the minds of the generals of the Supreme Command of the Soviet Union, and it was even a little insignificant. During the entire war, the material obtained by the Far East battlefield was only one thousandth of that of the German battlefield, and its military strength was even weaker. It was not until Stalin suffered a heavy blow in the Xinjiang Incident that the troops and materials in the Far East were increased, but it was still insignificant compared to the Soviet-German battlefield.

"The Japanese are running away," Stalin said slowly: "Comrade Huaseylevsky, can we take advantage of the victory and pursue it all the way to the Northeast?"

Huasilevsky was shocked. Stalin was still making the Northeast. After Xinjiang failed, Mongolia confronted each other, and Chongqing agreement was not over yet, but he still did not give up.

"Comrade Stalin," Huasilevsky tried his best to make his tone appear gentle and tactful: "The total strength of the Far Eastern Front is only 340,000, with about 800 tanks and 1,300 artillery pieces; while China's forces in Manchuria are mainly in the Northeast War Zone. According to intelligence, the main force of the Northeast War Zone is about 120 to 400,000 tanks, nearly 2,000 aircraft, and tens of thousands of artillery pieces. Comrade Stalin, the power balance is too big."

Stalin was not unclear about the situation he said. The KGB had to submit a summary of intelligence from the Far East to Stalin every three days, and he knew everything.

Huasilevsky obviously disapproves of entering the Northeast, and this move is likely to trigger a military conflict between China and the Soviet Union. There is a huge gap in military force and firepower between the Soviet army.

"We cannot just consider the war itself," Stalin said slowly: "Our eyes should be longer-term. Maintaining pressure on the Northeast will play a crucial role in solving the Mongolian problem in the future. In particular, if our army can occupy parts of North Manchuria, it will be more beneficial to us."

Huasilevsky was silent for a moment. He already understood Stalin's idea. Stalin did not want to fight until Dalian Lushun. His purpose was to create conditions and gain a favorable position in solving the Mongolian issue in the future.

However, Huaseylevsky believed that China would never allow the Soviet army to enter the Northeast, which had millions of troops in the Northeast, and the commander of the Northeast War Zone was a well-known and victorious general in China.

"Comrade Stalin," Huasilevsky continued to persuade: "According to the intelligence, the Chinese maintain two armies in the extremely north of Harbin, about 100,000 troops. In the Changchun area further south, there are about 50,000 well-equipped troops, and in the Shenyang area, there are still 100,000 troops; Comrade Stalin, we can only invest about 100,000 troops in the offensive, and the main force will still go south to liberate Vladivostok."

"Vladivostok is not the point," Stalin waved, and Vasilevsky noticed that the pipe in his hand had been extinguished. Stalin continued: "When Japan was defeated, we can get it back. We will use 500,000 troops to pursue the Japanese army and enter the Northeast. This pursuit may cause misunderstandings from China and lead to some unpleasant conflicts. But I believe we can gain a foothold in the North Manchuria region."

Huasilevsky gasped and quickly dissuaded: "Comrade Stalin, the Far Eastern Front has only more than 300,000, but not 500,000. If this is the case, I suggest to be in Mongolia. The Chinese recently drew a mechanized army from Mongolia to join the Northeast war, and Mongolia has weak troops."

"It cannot be in Mongolia," Stalin flatly refused: "The Chongqing Agreement has stipulated that the Mongolian issue will be resolved after the war, and we cannot violate the agreement."

Huasilevsky was stunned, and Stalin continued: "According to the Tehran Agreement and the Chongqing Agreement, after the war, Mongolia will implement national self-determination and the Mongolian people will vote on their own. We agree with this agreement."

Now Huasilevsky understood that the United States has guaranteed the Tehran Agreement and the Chongqing Agreement. If Stalin tampered with it, it would inevitably cause the United States to react. Then in the future, the United States will take tough measures when dealing with issues such as Europe, such as Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia and other countries.

Although the victory of the Soviet-German War was in sight, the war caused great damage to the Soviet Union, and almost all the western part of the Soviet Union was reduced to ruins. Minsk, Kiev, Leningrad, Leningrad, was destroyed, and the city factories turned into ruins. The Soviet Union and Russia's strength declined seriously. The United States hid outside the war, and due to the stimulus of the war, its national strength increased rapidly. The United States' production capacity exceeded that of the Soviet Union, Germany and Japan, and even exceeded the total of the three countries of the Soviet Union, Germany and Japan.

"The Far Eastern Front has no 500,000 troops, but the Mongolian Front still has about 200,000 troops, and the Mongolian People's Republic can also provide 100,000 troops; Chiang Kai-shek dared not launch an attack in Mongolia, and the main force of the Mongolian Front and the main force of the Mongolian People's Army can advance eastward and join the Far Eastern Front's pursuit of the Japanese remnants."

Stalin seemed a little arbitrary. He stood in front of Huasilevsky and looked at him coldly. Huasilevsky sighed in his heart, and the duty of the soldier prompted him to make his final efforts.

"Comrade Stalin, we have insufficient material preparations. You know, the material reserves of the Far Eastern Front are very limited. When the Japanese retreated, they blew up the eastern section of the Siberian Railway, and the material could not be transported directly to the front line. Besides, it would take at least ten days to assemble the Mongolian Front and the People's Army on the Sino-Soviet border. Comrade Stalin, with these ten days, the Chinese have recovered the entire Northeast and the war has entered North Korea. They have the strength to free up their hands to deal with our army with all their strength."

Huasilevsky felt sweat flowing down his back, and his shirt was soaked with sweat. Stalin finally showed a hint of hesitation. Huasilevsky's meaning was very clear. Once the war entered North Korea, Stalin's reasons would not be valid, and he lost a lot of political points. The United States and Britain would not recognize the legitimacy of the Soviet Union's actions; more importantly, China could already free up its hands to deal with the Soviet army that crossed the border.

Stalin began to pace the room again, and the pipe in his hand was not lit. At this time, the adjutant knocked on the door. Stalin called in a little impatiently. The adjutant pushed the door and came in to report, and Belia and Molotov came.

Hearing Beria's name, Stalin couldn't help frowning. The rebellion in Xinjiang commanded by Beria was severely defeated. Chinese politics took the opportunity to uproot the Soviet Union's power in Xinjiang. Stalin's defeat in this contest also affected the Soviet Union's international prestige.

Seeing that Stalin did not express his words, the adjutant wanted to withdraw. Before the door was closed, he heard Stalin say, "Please come in."

Molotov was in front and Belia was in back, and the two came in. Stalin did not say that Vasilevsky could not leave, so he had to stand there.

"Comrade Stalin, Chinese comrades have been to Moscow for a week, and they ask to see you." Molotov first reported.

The Yan'an delegation is relatively high in specifications, and it is just a transition between Zhang zd, secretary of the Central Secretariat and Zhang WTian, ​​general secretary, is just a transition and does not make much sense.

"What do they have to ask for?" Stalin's tone was cold and even a little disdainful. He still remembered that he asked Yan'an for help several times, but the other party ignored it. In the end, Chiang Kai-shek took action and they took some action, and they only took action after he "generously" supported the equipment of the two armies.

"Chinese comrades want to strengthen their cooperation with us and hope that we can provide them with weapons and equipment," Molotov paused and added: "The scale is relatively large."

After saying that, Molotov opened the file bag he carried with him, took out a sorted meeting record, and prepared to hand it over to Stalin. Stalin said before he could come over, "You can talk about it roughly."

Molotov had to open the document and simply picked up the key contents and said: "The Chinese comrades mainly require several points. First, they hope that we will assist them in weapons and equipment. They have proposed a huge list of weapons, hoping that they can equip at least 500,000 people; second, they hope that they can help them set up armored troops, providing 800 to 1,000 tanks and 1,000 armored vehicles; third, they help them set up air forces, providing them with no less than 500 combat aircraft; fourth, they hope that we can provide them with 20 million rubles of financial assistance; fifth, they hope that we can provide them with complete sets of factory equipment, including steel mills."

After hearing this, Stalin sneered several times. He knew very well that Yan'an was doing this, which was a threat from the Kuomintang. After the seven-year war of resistance, the Kuomintang had made great progress from military to politics to economics, especially in terms of military strength, which was unprecedentedly powerful.

The war has not ended yet, and Yan'an has begun to prepare for the post-war issues.

The GCD people in Yan'an know much more about Chiang Kai-shek than Stalin. They have no strength in their hands, so Chiang Kai-shek will not pay attention to your feelings.

"Not to mention the tanks, armored vehicles and planes, are we redundant now? Even if we have them, will they use them? Can they afford it? Without shells, without gasoline and diesel, they are all a pile of scrap iron." Stalin said sarcastically with a smile.

"I remember a few Chinese comrades who studied at the Fulongzhi Military Academy," recalled Huasilevsky.

"Can a few people build a mechanized force?" Stalin asked sharply.

Whether tanks and armored vehicles or aircraft, they are technical weapons. Yan'an has severely lacked technical soldiers to use these weapons. Only a few Eighth Route Army generals have received formal training at Fulongzhi Military Academy. Most Eighth Route Army generals have not attended military academy, let alone received formal training. It is impossible to build a mechanized army with a few people.

Huasilevsky nodded in agreement and said to Molotov: "We should tell them that we cannot provide so many weapons and ammunition at present, let alone tanks, armored vehicles and aircraft."

Belia looked at Stalin carefully. He knew very well that due to the failure of Xinjiang, Stalin was very dissatisfied with him. He had to find an opportunity to win back Stalin's trust.

"Comrade Stalin, the Chinese comrades' concerns are mainly after the war. Strengthening their strength can hold Chiang Kai-shek back. The Kuomintang has hundreds of thousands of troops in Mongolia, and the logistics are all transported from the country. The Eighth Route Army New Fourth Army base is just stuck on their logistics transportation line." Beria said as she looked at Stalin's face. As he said, Stalin's face gradually calmed down, and his confidence gradually increased:

"We seized a large number of Japanese weapons and ammunition in the Battle of Mongolia and Far East, and also seized a lot of German weapons. These things are not available to the Red Army, and it is quite troublesome to deal with them. It is better to hand over these weapons to them."

After saying that, Belia looked at Stalin. Stalin had no expression at first, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"This proposal is good, very smart," Beria just breathed a sigh of relief, but Stalin added, which made him nervous immediately: "It's much smarter than in Xinjiang."

After beating Belia, Stalin turned his head and said to Molotov: "I will not see them anymore. Tell them that we do not have any extra tanks, armored vehicles and aircraft, and we can provide them with a batch of German and Japanese weapons. As for the quantity,..."

Stalin suddenly stopped, Molotov and Vasilevsky both looked at him, and Stalin frowned and thought, obviously he had an idea slowly taking shape.

The three of them stood there quietly, not daring to disturb Stalin's thoughts. After a while, Stalin showed a faint smile on his face. He asked Belia: "In North Manchuria, the Eighth Route Army occupied a considerable area. If we pursue the remnants of the Japanese army and enter this area, Yan'an would not have any objection."

Molotov was stunned. He looked at Huasilevsky. Huasilevsky closed his eyes slightly. Molotov understood in his heart that Stalin wanted to save face in the Northeast.

But Molotov immediately thought that the Chinese political fu would definitely react. Compared with China's troops in the Northeast, the Far Eastern Front was at a disadvantage. This was another adventure, and Molotov made a quick judgment.

But Stalin had already formed absolute power in the party army. No matter how many people oppose it, Stalin could decide everything with just one word.

The summer sun shines on the spire of the Kremlin. The spire pierces the light, and the fine light scatters on the windows, forming spots of light.

Molotov looked at the highlights on the window and began to silently plot in his heart, how could he save Stalin's determination.

Huasilevsky was also thinking that entering the Northeast through the defense zone of the Eighth Route Army's New Fourth Army is not a good idea, but then what? If the Chinese team does not accept political solutions and insists on counterattacking, just like in Xinjiang, how should they solve it?

"Yan'an will not object," Beria responded: "They have the same faith as us, and they have more demands from us. The Red Army can help them more directly when entering the Northeast."

Stalin smiled satisfied, Vasilevsky cursed in his heart, and Belia ignored the facts completely. If they were both GCD people, it was a reason, then MZD would not have rejected Stalin's request at the beginning.

"Comrade Molotov, when he talks with Chinese comrades, he told them our opinions and obtained their understanding." Stalin made a decision without soliciting the opinions of Molotov and Vasilevsky.
