Chapter 608 Harvest Life IV Any more?
Although it was only early October, Moscow, located at a high altitude, can already feel the footsteps of winter. Outside the windows of the Kremlin, the sound of howling autumn winds are all whistling. It is already late at night, and the entire Soviet capital is shrouded in darkness, but the Kremlin is still brightly lit.
Since the outbreak of the world revolution, the lights here have not been extinguished. Every night, members of the Politburo and Revolutionary Military Commission are in charge of the International Proletarian Command, which has also become the de facto Supreme Command. There are outstanding military strategists such as Trotsky, Tukhachevsky, Vatedith, Shaposhnikov, and other famous generals such as Voronzhi, Ubolevich, Yakir, Bulucher, Yegorov, Garmanik, and Haprisky to fight in all directions, and tens of millions of GC-based fighters armed with Marxist Trotsky thoughts are fighting on the front line. Therefore, the Soviet Union's start in World War II in this time and space can be said to be quite good.
After October, a lot of good news came. First, the Middle Eastern Front conquered Riyadh, the old nest occupied by the reactionary Saudi family, and Medina, one of the holy cities of YSlam, and annihilated more than 100,000 reactionary troops loyal to the Caliph!
Then there were also good news from India. After liberating Karachi, the largest city in northwest India, the Indian front commanded by Bulukhull continued to advance rapidly, along the Indus River, defeating the reactionary forces controlled by the M Slim Alliance, liberating the entire Sindh and most of the Punjab provinces, and heading straight to Delhi (New Delhi), the capital of the British Indian capital. What is even more gratifying is that the Indian GCD cadres showed a strong struggle in this "Indian Liberation War". On the one hand, they were in the British occupied areas or the M Slim Alliance, and the National Grand Prix.
The Party (autonomous Party) controlled the area to launch a worker and student movement, disrupting the order behind enemy lines and disintegrating the enemy's struggle. On the one hand, it marched with the Soviet Red Army to establish the Indian people's regime led by GCD in the "liberated area". The people in the liberated area carried out a land revolution and caste revolution, confiscated the land and property of Brahmins, Kshatriya and Mslin upper imams, and organized working people of lower castes such as Shudra and Dalit to fight against higher castes such as Brahmins and Kshatriya. They also shouted the slogans of physically eliminating Brahmins and Kshatriya and economically eliminating Vaiya!
For a time, thousands of Brahmins and Kshatriyas fell to the ground, and Shudra, who had defeated Brahmins and Kshatriyas, turned over and became the leader, also signed up for the Indian Red Army under the mobilization of Ing-G. In September 1932 alone, the number of Indian Red Army expanded from less than 10,000 to as many as 300,000! The revolutionary situation in India was very good!
News from the Balkans is also encouraging. Although the reactionary dynasty in Romania received assistance from German imperialism and temporarily saved part of the northwest part of the territory based on the Carpathians, the Balkan Front of the Red Army did not stop at the Romanian border, but forced the Danube to cross the Danube in late September 1932 and invaded Sofia, the capital of the Bulgarian Kingdom. King Boris III of Bulgarian fled to Italy with his government and his family. On September 30, Bulgarian GCD leader Dimitrov officially declared the establishment of the Bulgarian Soviet Socialist Republic in Sofia and declared war on the three imperialist countries in England, Germany and China.
However, the most exciting news is the success of the Far Eastern Front! This front, with only 1.3 million people (including Japanese reinforcements), had given up part of the territory to tighten the defense line. It actually withstood the fierce attacks of the powerful northern front of China! Galmanik and Haprisky said in the report that from the early morning of September 30, the Chinese invading army dispatched aircraft, tanks, cannons and a large number of infantry to launch fierce attacks on the Red Army positions on the rear Baikalsk front line, but under the tenacious resistance of the vast number of Red Army soldiers, the Chinese army had to pay a heavy price for every step forward! As of the night of October 3, after four days and nights of hard fighting, the Chinese invaders had only advanced forward less than 3 kilometers on average, and they had at least 10,000 casualties. On the plains near the rear Baikalsk Railway Station, there were Chinese tanks and armored vehicles that were destroyed by Red Army soldiers and injured...
The Far East defense problem has always been deeply troubled by Trotsky. Now, when hearing such a good news, the revolutionary prophet's mood suddenly became much more refreshed. Since the war started, the faces that have been stern for most of the time have rarely smiled.
Seeing this, Vatedius smiled, looked at Tukhachevsky, who was frowning slightly beside him and said, "Comrade Chairman, it seems that the Far East will not have too many difficulties in the short term. It won't take long for the temperature in the Far East to drop rapidly, and the Chinese will have to turn to defense. I think it's time for the Central Asian Front to launch an attack."
"Comrade Tukhachevsky, what do you think? Are you confident in the attack on Central Asia?" Trotsky asked Tukhachevsky again.
"There is nothing to worry about in Central Asia's actions." Tukhachevsky frowned and said, "But I still don't understand the Far East battlefield. The Chinese have overwhelming advantages. Whether it is the number of troops or the quantity and quality of technical equipment, they have absolute advantages, but their attacks..."
"I know, they are feinting attacking." Trotsky's military talent is still outstanding. As soon as he sees the report of the Far Eastern Front, he knows that the Chinese have not done their best. "But this is exactly what we need. The revolutionary situation of the Indian Revolution is very good. I believe that at most one year, Buluhell and Luyi will be able to liberate the 350 million Indian people from the oppression of imperialism and feudalism, and the number of Indian Red Army will soon expand to 10 million! It will be our turn to teach China a lesson, a revisionist country. Now, let's teach them some small lessons first."
Tukhachevsky understood the meaning of Trotsky's words. The Soviet Red Army has been studying the problem of fighting on both sides. To solve this problem, of course, the only way to concentrate its efforts to get rid of an opponent first! It is different from Chang Ruiqing's guess. Trotsky has actually been hesitant about whether to defeat Chinese revisionism first or German imperialism first.
"Comrade Chairman, please look at the outcome of the Central Asian Front and then decide on the next strategy." Tukhachevsky advocated destroying Hitler first, but he was unwilling to argue with Trotsky on this issue. Anyway, defeating Germany and defeating China are not something to be considered right now.
"Yes. Let's take a look at the outcome of Central Asia first!" Trotsky pondered for a moment, looked at Vasedith and said, "Comrade Vasedith, go and give orders to Comrade Fu Longzhi and let him beat him hard! You must be afraid of hitting the Chinese people!"
"Okay," Vacetidis agreed, but did not move on his feet, but hesitated. He asked: "Comrade Chairman, Comrade Fu Longzhi called me the day before yesterday to ask for instructions, how should we deal with more than 10 million Chinese immigrants there after liberating foreign and northern Xinjiang? Should we rebuild the Chinese People's Revolutionary Party and the Chinese People's Revolutionary Army?"
This question asked Trotsky about his pain. After two painful failures, the international G fortune no longer had any hope for the Chinese revolution. After summarizing the lessons of Jingyàn, Trotsky pointed out: "China's deep-rooted Confucianism and traditional culture are the biggest obstacle to the victory of the Chinese revolution. If the Chinese revolution wants to achieve victory, it must start from overthrowing Confucianism. Only by revolutionizing the fate of Chinese traditional culture can it be possible to break the feudal thoughts that are deeply rooted in the Chinese thinking, and the GCist revolution can truly happen in China..."
Since we must first revolutionize the fate of culture before we can revolutionize the fate of China's revisionism, there is no need to worry about supporting the third Chinese revolution. So Trotsky shook his head and said, "There is no need to consider the issue of the Chinese revolution for the time being. The time is not yet ripe, and there is no suitable candidate to use it. As for the Chinese immigrants in the northern border..." Trotsky paused for a moment, rubbed a cigar and sucked two mouthfuls, and continued, "Tell Comrade Fu Longzhi. These people are all colonists, and all have land. They belong to landlords and rich peasants. Their land and property, especially food, should be confiscated. The intelligence said that the Yili River area of China's foreign provinces has been harvesting year after year, and all the granaries are full of food. This is ironclad evidence that the Chinese colonists plunder the people of Central Asia. They should be confiscated to support the world revolution."
The Soviet Union's grain production has always been a long-standing problem, and now that a large number of agricultural laborers have participated in the Red Army, the domestic supply of food is even more difficult, so Trotsky began to take over the idea of occupying the area. Romania and Bulgaria GCD have been hinted to provide military rations for the world revolution, but the two countries have not had much grain in stock. Unlike China's foreign provinces, which have been harvested year after year, but due to poor transportation, they can only stock up on a large amount of grain. Trotsky took a sip of cigarettes and turned his head to Vattis and said, "Issue another order to hand over the Karaganda labor camp to the Central Asian Revolutionary Military Commission for management, so that they can start construction of railways connecting Bishkek and Almaty immediately, and use prisoners in the labor camps to build railways. In any case, the railway must be built before June 1933, and they must be prepared to fight against the Chinese army after June 1933.
In addition, there are a large number of cultivated fertile land on both sides of the Ili River. They should not be left deserted. The labor camps can send people to farm. Remember, our struggle against Chinese revisionism is likely to be long-term and we should use all the power that can be used."
...
October 3, 1932.
After receiving Trotsky's highest instructions, Fu Longzhi, the former number one general under Lenin, immediately used his strength to urge the Central Asian Front of the Red Army to launch an attack. In addition to the 24 cavalry divisions lurking near Ayaguz, the other 12 infantry armies (each army has 4 infantry divisions and 1 tank brigade) were divided into three clusters of East Road, West Road and South Road, and launched a fierce attack from east of Lake Balkash, southwest and southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains to the outer provinces of China. On the east side of Lake Balkash, where the main attack direction was, Fu Longzhi invested a total of 6 armies and 2,000 cannons, and launched a crazy attack with nearly 500 tanks of 6 tank brigades and 6 semi-motorized infantry divisions as vanguards.
Hundreds of thousands of artillery shells roared overwhelmingly on the thin Chinese Defense Forces defense line. The main force of the Chinese Defense Forces had already advanced southward. The only ones that were on the front line were a small number of militias, which could not stop the Red Army's overwhelming offensive. In just two hours, the defense lines deployed between Lake Balkash and Lake Ala were all crushed. The border towns Gancharal and Lepso fell one after another within 24 hours after the Soviet army launched an attack. Tens of thousands of National Police soldiers suffered heavy losses by the "sudden" attack, and they all dropped their armor and retreated. The Soviet army reporters who followed the Red Army's attack sent back one extremely optimistic reports. For a time, the entire world revolutionary camp was cheering for another great victory that the Soviet Red Army was about to achieve.
For the world revolution, this is indeed a meaningful battle. Because China and Germany have always been regarded as the two biggest obstacles to the world revolution, the Soviet Red Army has been avoiding a decisive battle with the main forces of China and Germany since the war started. This battle between the three Central Asian Frontiers of Central Asia took place precisely between the Soviet Central Asian Front and the Northwest China Frontier! If the Soviet Red Army can win, then China's northwest border defense will face a huge crisis, and the raging fire of the world revolution will burn to China. On the contrary, if the Soviet army is defeated, they will lose the halo of invincibility since the war started, and the Northwest China Frontiers of Northwest China will also take advantage of the victory to invade the Soviet Central Asian region. The Soviet Union will be forced to draw a large number of troops from Central Asia, which is definitely not good news for the Soviet Union, which is already in short supply. So for the Soviet Union, the three Central Asian Frontiers of Central Asia is definitely one of the countless battles (which battle can be afforded?).
However, the success of the initial battle did not bring much joy to the Central Asian Front Command of the Red Army in Karaganda. There was a loud noise of telephone ringing in the combat room. The headquarters built in the concentration camp had a very complete wired telephone and telegraph network, and these lines, Fu Longzhi could fully grasp all the Soviet troops on the entire battlefield without leaving home. Since the battle began, Fu Longzhi moved the camp bed into the lounge next to the combat room. He himself was in the combat room for more than 36 hours. Listening to the staff members constantly reporting on the progress of the front line, it sounded like a good news, but Fu Longzhi's frown showed no sign of loosening.
The Chief of Staff of the Front Army, Malinovsky, also walked to Fu Longzhi with a tired face and sighed without reporting: "As soon as the sky was dawn, the activities of the Chinese Air Force began to rise frequently. Six tank brigades reported that they had been violent air strikes and suffered heavy losses! The biggest loss was the Independent 1st Tank Brigade. 12 of their 35 T28 tanks were blown up, and 15 of their 38 T28 were blown up. If we included the mechanical failure that could not be started, the tank brigade now has only 11 T28 and 18 T26 left. The other five tank brigades are in a slightly better condition, but the equipment integrity rate is only around 50%. Comrade Commander, it seems that we have always underestimated wēixié from the air..."
After listening to Chief Malinovsky's report with a calm face, Fu Longzhi waved his hand and said, "I can't tell me about strengthening air defense. Just report to the General Staff and the People's Committee on Labor and National Defense." He stood up, walked to the map platform, stared for a moment, and asked, "Have you found the shadow of the Chinese armored cluster yet?"
Malinovsky shook his head and said, "I don't know where their armored cluster is, but there are signs of the main force of the Chinese army gathering near the Communist Youth League City in the southeast of the Sareyesic Atrough Desert. It is estimated that their armored troops are also there."
"Communist Youth League City?" Fu Longzhi often frowned when he heard this kind of friendly name.
"It is the original Tardi Kurgan. When China was conducting GCism experiments in foreign countries, it changed it to the Communist Youth League City. It also called on the Communist Youth League members in mainland China to go there to engage in development and construction, and also invested huge amounts of money to carry out urban construction. It is said that they want to use it as the capital of the entire GCism experimental zone..." (To be continued...)
