Second, we are experiencing the mist, the boats on the river are vaguely unstoppable, and the docks are like a busy day, with the sound of whistles and the shouts of porters mixed together. Recently, Japanese planes have not visited this city for more than a month, and the market is gradually flourishing. With the arrival of Xiajiang people, Honghu's foreign-flavored lifestyle has quietly emerged in Chongqing...

Webber and Charles sat in a coffee shop facing the street early in the morning, quietly drinking Brazilian coffee transported by the Burma Highway. Now coffee is also a luxury item, and the restrictions on imports have made it expensive. With Webber's income, he feels that drinking coffee every day is unbearable.

But today is different. His series of reports on Guizhou development caused a great sensation in the United States, and the editor-in-chief sent him a message of congratulations. Charles' report also attracted the attention of the British government.

The citizens who were flowing outside the window were always filled with relaxed freehand paintings, and they did not feel the army was approaching. Thinking about his experiences over the past six months, his shock still did not disappear.

%,Ten thousand

"I really can't understand this nation Charles seems to know Weber's idea. Over the past six months, they have seen construction sites with tens of thousands of people in Guizhou. The huge factories are gradually taking shape, and winding roads are gradually spreading to the distance. The construction sites are crowded with people and sleepless day and night.

"They are fighting while building. This is an amazing nation, an amazing people, their tenacity and their endurance are beyond imagination." Weber did not look back, but still looked at the street outside the window.

There were not many people in the coffee shop. Apart from them, several Europeans were quietly enjoying the fragrance of coffee. At this time, the door opened and three foreigners came in. Charles saw two of them, one was Richardson, the priest of the Christian Methodist Church, and the other was Laslang, a senior employee of the French Omton Company.

Richardson soon saw Weber and Charles, and Li Zhong came over to say hello: "Mr. Charles, Mr. Weber, I really didn't expect to meet you here. I thought you were still in Guizhou.

"I came back the day before yesterday. Father Charles and Webber both stood up and stretched out their hand to Father Richardson. Richardson introduced to the two and said, "Do you still remember Mr. Laslang?"

"Of course Charles smiled slightly and shook hands with Laslang: "This is Mr. Webber, a reporter for the Washington Observer.

"I remember seeing Laslang at the French Embassy's cocktail party last time, and Webber reluctantly shook his hand with a blank expression.

"French Ambassador?" Another person who came with him sneered contemptuously: "The Betan government surrendered, and he cannot represent France. General Charles de Gaulle's freedom France is the legal representative of France.

As soon as the man spoke, Weber recognized him as Mr. Benoit of Shanghai Institute of Law and Technology. During the Battle of Xia, the two of them had too many such relationships because of the same views. No wonder they looked familiar with him.

"Mr. Benoit, I really didn't expect to see you here." Weber stepped forward and hugged him enthusiastically, and Benoit also responded enthusiastically.

"Mr. Weber, I didn't expect that after seeing you, Benoit, would still feel a little touched: "You said that the Chinese could persevere, and the facts proved that your judgment was correct. Unfortunately, my motherland, Blade."

The news of France's surrender made Benoit extremely sad and angry. Marshal Betan, who he had revered very much, actually chose to surrender. Compared with the Chinese, they insisted on four. Although they suffered huge losses. Although they were covered in blood, they were still persevering.

"I don't agree with this. The result of the war proves that we were defeated and continuing to persevere will only increase the casualties of the people. It has no meaning in any way. Lasran is very calm. His words represent the views of most French people. The French do not think that surrender is shameful. After the German army entered, Paris was still full of lights and wine.

"France was not defeated, and France just lost a battle." Benoit retorted: "The one who lost the battle was the cowardly people of Betan. The free France led by General de Gaulle is still fighting.

"Benuit, Benoit, I don't want to argue about this issue anymore." Laslang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You have been to Chongqing for two days, and we have been arguing for two days. None of us can convince each other. Let's keep our opinions

"Laslang is right. There is no need to talk about these fierce issues with such good weather." Father Richardson quickly smoothed out the situation: "Since there have been fewer Japanese planes, the market has become much quieter.

As he was speaking, the tweeter on the street suddenly made a harsh electric current, and then a majestic voice began to say loudly: "Be careful, please pay attention, the important news will be broadcast below. The important news will be broadcast below.

"Maybe he won another battle, Charles smiled, but he felt a little strange. I haven't heard of a big battle recently.

"At 5:30 am today, the Japanese army launched a sudden attack on the Soviet Union. The Japanese army crossed the Sino-Soviet and China-Mongolia border and launched an attack on the Soviet Union and Mongolia.

Everyone was stunned. Weber and Charles widened their eyes and seemed to not believe their ears. The priest drew a cross on his chest. He prayed in a low voice, and Benoit rubbed his cheeks hard. Laslang was the calmest, as if nothing had happened. Continue the fragrant coffee

"They are crazy." Weber and Charles shouted almost at the same time. They stood up almost at the same time and were about to walk out. At this time, a group of Chinese people rushed in from the street. They happily occupied several empty tables and shouted at the waiter. It seemed as if the squadron had won a big victory, and the citizens on the street were cheering without any scruples and unscrupulously.

"Evil." Richardson suddenly understood why the Chinese people were like this. He quickly slapped a few crosses on his chest: "Canbai...! Heart..."

In the early morning of September 12, from the Tumen River to the Luoyuan Grassland, a border line that lasted thousands of kilometers, millions of Japanese troops launched a raid on the Soviet Far Eastern forces under the cover of 800 aircraft and 600 tanks.

The Supreme Soviet Command of the Soviet Army's judgment on the Japanese attack made serious mistakes again. After the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, the Far East troops were extremely nervous. Even after obtaining information from Hidemi Ozaki, the troops were still in a first-level combat readiness in July and August. However, as the weather gradually became colder, Stalin's vigilance was relaxed. Moreover, due to the defeat of the Kiev war, the loss of troops reached one million, and urgently needed troops to fill the gap, so the Far East troops naturally became the focus of the draw.

Starting from mid-August, the number of Far Eastern troops dropped rapidly from 1.2 million to 500,000, instead of 700,000. The Siberian Railway connecting the east and west, a train of troops transported troops passed every half an hour. Just three days before Japan launched the attack, the Far Eastern troops had two divisions urgently boarded the train, and the other three divisions were ready to go.

The entire east was in a nervous and relaxed emotional scarf. The Soviets stubbornly believed that the cold weather was their biggest ally, and the powerful Napoleon army disappeared into the snow and ice of Russia.

In September, some parts of the Outer Xing'an Mountains had already fallen in the first snow in early autumn. The Soviet Command and the Far East Military Region believed that the Japanese had lost their chances and that the war would not break out at least this year.

But at this moment, the Japanese attack began.

The short and sturdy Japanese soldiers wore yellow military uniforms and straddled short legs, crossed the dense forests and grasslands in the east, crossed the wilderness of the west, and rushed to the mainland of the Soviet Union.

The village was burning behind them, and the sound of cannons came from the front; the soldiers were extremely excited. For a long time, the propaganda of the empire was that the Soviet Union was the mortal enemy of the empire, and sooner or later there would be a decisive battle between Japan and the Soviet Union. Now this decisive battle has finally arrived.

But unlike the Western Front, although the Soviet army was a little relaxed, the troops were not unprepared. Most of the troops had already been deployed, and the borders had complete fortresses, and various weapons in the fortress were equipped with complete equipment.

In the Kwantung Army's combat plan, conquering Vladivostok and eliminating the Soviet Far East Fleet was its focus. Therefore, the main attack direction of the Japanese army was Ussurisk. The attack in this direction was in the 20th year of Guanguizhi, with seven divisions under its jurisdiction. The division organization of the Kwantung Army was different from that of Guan's internal team, and the fourth registrar of the two brigades was retained. In addition to the cavalry and artillery gangs, the force reached more than 30,000. The total force in 20 years reached 240,000, plus the 60,000 troops stationed from North Korea, the troops attacking Vladivostok reached 300,000.

The Soviet military theory was to let the war go on the enemy's territory, so the fortresses built were all along the border. In addition, a series of small fortresses were built outside Vladivostok to protect Vladi and eliminate the Far East fleet in the Stoke military port.

According to military theory and fortification construction, the main forces of the Soviet army were all deployed along the border. Therefore, after the Japanese army successfully entered the Soviet territory about ten kilometers, they were stubbornly blocked by the Soviet army.

However, the progress of the Kanto Army's Third Army commander Yokoyama Yong and the Fifth Army commander Fan Demu, who attacked from Manzhouli and Mohe on the northern line, was very smooth. They advanced fifty miles deep into the Soviet Union on the first day, and the forward was approaching Skodarodjiruo, cutting off the Soviet Union's major transportation artery, the Siberian Railway.

At sea, the Japanese army achieved even greater results. The commander of the Japanese Joint Fleet Izuru Yamamoto commanded the joint fleet, blocked the port of Vladivostok, and blocked the Soviet Russian fleet in the port. Then, he concentrated the naval aviation force to attack the port and completely destroyed the Soviet Far East Fleet at the cost of sixty aircraft.

On the third day of the outbreak of the Soviet-Japanese War, Zhang Fasheng commanded the Fourth War Zone troops to launch a massive counterattack against the Japanese army in Guangdong. The National Government announced that this counterattack would involve 30 divisions. Chairman Chiang personally went to the front line to command, which was the largest counterattack operation after the Battle of Southern Guizhou.

But in the hearts of the senior generals, this counterattack was just a process of walking. The main force of the 21st Japanese Army boarded the ship the day before the outbreak of the Soviet-Japanese War. At this time, in a strange war, the squadron's attack was not fierce, and the Japanese army was not tenacious. Both sides knew "politeness". After five days of resistance, the Japanese army gave up Guangzhou, including the puppet army, boarded the ship, and the squadron recovered Guangzhou. This was the first provincial capital that the squadron recovered.
