Chapter 358 Soviet Traitor
Of course, more than 100,000 rebels were not opponents of so many troops. They began to organize retreats and retreat to the northern mountainous areas of the Soviet Union. On the battlefield to suppress the rebellion, the Soviet army suffered huge casualties, with more than 50,000 casualties alone. Of course, the rebels also suffered heavy losses. After all, they did not have tanks, cannons and other heavy weapons to grab only a little light weapon. However, these disadvantages were slightly reversed by their outstanding command of many battles, but they still could not change the fate of failure. Under this situation, no rebel surrendered, because surrender was also dead!
Why did the Soviet army even fight so hard for the rebels with simple weapons? Look at what Stalin did. From the assassination of Kirov in 1934 to 1938, the losses suffered by the Soviet Union were unprecedented, especially in military terms, which were far from comparable to the Patriotic War: in 1966, 1,108 were killed and 1,108 were "disappeared".
The senior generals of the Soviet Red Army were killed: 3 out of 5 marshals, 3 out of 5 first-level army commanders, all 10 second-level army commanders*No mistake*50 out of 57 army commanders, 154 out of 186 division commanders, all 16 first-level and second-level army political commissaries, 25 out of 28 army political commissaries, 58 out of 64 division political commissaries, and 401 out of 456 regiment commanders. No war can cause an army to lose so much senior general, and Stalin did this in a peaceful era.
The Soviet Union suppressed the rebellion at home, and Western countries gloated, but the Soviet Union did not seek trouble from other countries, but instead found Japan. The headless corpse was the best evidence.
Japan is also extremely arrogant and severely condemned the Soviet Union for making a name out of nothing, but the Soviet Union insisted that it was the Japanese who planned this conspiracy and rebellion and was directly involved, because there was a Soviet marshal who was rescued, who was the commander of the Red Flag Far East Special Army Vasily Konstantinovich Bruuker. As long as this person is willing to surrender to Japan, everything in the Soviet Far East will be open to Japan.
In addition to the Zhanggufeng incident at the end of June 1940, the Soviet army suddenly occupied Zhanggufeng, built fortifications on the mountain, and laid barbed wire. The Northeast had already classified the Northeast as a pseudo-Manchukuo, and the Japanese who regarded North Korea as their colony were quit. The Japanese believed that the Soviet army occupied Zhanggufeng was equivalent to having a strategic location that could control North Korea and Northeast China.
However, as the Japanese army was preparing to attack Wuhan, various Japanese troops were making frequent mobilizations, it was difficult to conflict with the Soviet army on a large scale. The base camp had to order the Japanese Kwantung Army to enter a first-level combat readiness state. At the same time, the cabinet instructed Japanese ambassador to the Soviet Union to mediate with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union made a clear statement that it was impossible to withdraw from Zhang Gufeng. Shigemitsu's diplomatic mediation was deadlocked.
The Japanese base camp made a great determination to regain Zhang Gufeng. The Japanese and Soviet sides launched repeated battles against Shacaofeng, Zhang Gufeng and other high grounds, and continuously increased their troops. The total number of Japanese troops participating in the war was nearly 7,000, and 37 artillery pieces. Before August 5, the Soviet army, ", 237 artillery pieces, and 285 tanks.
Another 250 aircraft supported the Soviet army's operations. On August 11, according to the Japanese suggestion, the two sides stopped fighting. The Soviet army controlled Zhanggufeng and occupied Shacaofeng. The Japanese retreated to the west bank of Tumenjiang and gave up the border line that they had always adhered to. Then, the two sides signed an agreement, and the Soviet Union easily seized a large area of China's territory from Japanese imperialism.
Another major historical event also deepened the conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union. Liusicov, the Soviet KGB Far East Minister, was worried about being purged, so he quickly contacted Japanese spies. In 1940, he secretly crossed the border to Manzhouli, the northeastern territory of China, and defected to the Japanese Kwantung Army. The Harbin secret service agency was responsible for reviewing them. Liusicov was the Soviet KGB Far East Minister. He had a large number of secrets such as the communication code of the Far East spy, and was discharged from Tokyo by the Japanese army.
The Soviet Union pretended to be calm on the surface and denied the incident as if nothing had happened, but it caused panic to the top leaders of the Soviet Union and caused a shock to the Japanese that was no less than a sudden tsunami! The full name of this position is "Minister of the Far East of the Soviet People's Committee of the Internal Affairs and People's Committee of the Soviet Union". The most important information brought by Liusikov, who had the rank of general, was that there were hundreds of thousands of Red Army soldiers and hundreds of military aircraft in the Far East of the Soviet Union. By the end of June 1940, the Japanese army was in North Korea, and Manchuria had only 9 divisions against the Soviet Union. Another two divisions were in the country, and the remaining 23 divisions were deployed on the battlefield against China. If the Soviet Union fought against Japan at this time, Japan would be almost as good as a mantis.
In case of precautions, Japan quickly increased the Kwantung Army's troops and tried its best to expand the air force and armored forces on the border. Under the tense situation of both sides, in the "Nomenkan" area, a large-scale armed confrontation was held, and the two sides used cannons, tanks and aircraft. Once the war began, it would be a real battle between Japan and the Soviet Union. Because Liusicov testified, when Japan consumed its strength in the Japanese-China war, the Soviet Union planned to attack Japan.
Colonel Kyosaki, who was transferred from the Strategy Section of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff, was drafted on June 21, the eighth day after Liusicov defected, and submitted it to Seishiro Itagaki, who was already the Minister of the Army. In this document as the army's political strategy, he had the idea of ending the "Japan-China Incident" within the year to avoid being attacked from both battlefields in the future.
The "Japan-China Incident" ended within the year - At this time, Japan was already considering peace talks with the Soviet Union. The ideas of some senior Japanese generals became more serious. The ideas of the northern faction began to undergo some major changes. Many people believe that with the help of Germany, it is impossible for China to completely defeat China. In order to avoid the empire falling into the quagmire of two-sided battles, they should immediately withdraw their troops from China to "Manchukuo" and wait for an opportunity to develop northward. The southern faction advocates putting all the troops in China into the war in the South China Sea.
The biggest change in Japan is that many people think it should go north, but many people oppose that Japan and China are in conflict. However, Japan also sent a prince to Wuhan to negotiate with Jiang Jieshi. Jiang Jieshi did not dare to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army. Jiang Jieshi's main task now is to train his own troops. Of course, there is no result in the peace talks. Japan wants to own the Chinese territory it now occupied, but can Jiang Jieshi agree? Do you dare to agree? Once Jiang Jieshi agrees, he will be a traitor for the ages, so the negotiations are just a formality. The final result between China and Japan still needs to be resolved by force.
Of course, Li Mo would pay attention to the armed confrontation between Japan and the Soviet Union, but he would not think about getting involved. Li Mo wanted to participate in the negotiations between China and Japan, but it seemed that he did not have the qualifications. The Japanese could not agree to the tyrant who massacred 200,000 elite Japanese troops who appeared at the negotiating table. Li Mo could only use one sentence, "The motherland and the people can handle their own affairs by themselves. I have done my best. I wish the motherland prosperity and strength as soon as possible."
