Chapter 276 The Soviet Tragedy
,
spn
On April 1, 2011, the Axis powers Germany and Japan launched the April Fools' Day Offensive on the Eastern Front and Far East battlefields respectively.
On the Far Eastern battlefield, both Japan and the Soviet Union continued to increase their troops. Compared with the declining performance on the Eastern Front battlefield, the Soviet Union was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic in the Far Eastern battlefield. Divisions of infantry and truck after truck of artillery were transported day and night on the Siberian Railway.
, transported continuously from the central industrial belt.
Facing the Japanese bombing, the Soviets also tenaciously dispatched thousands of aircraft to protect this only lifeline. They bombed during the day, repaired at night, bombed during the day, and smuggled out at night. The Japanese had no choice but to continue to
One division after another was mobilized from the country. In the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of the Far East territory in the Japanese-occupied area, nearly 2 million Japanese troops have gathered. In contrast, the Soviet Red Army divisions have reached more than 2.5 million.
.
"Although the Japanese offensive has been contained, the Soviets are likely to suffer a major defeat in the next April Fool's Day Offensive."[
At a regular military information meeting at the base camp of the Republic, Su Yuren, the Supreme Operations Department, was using the command bng to explain the current situation of World War II to the Chairman of the Committee and the generals of the Republic present.
Although China has stayed away from World War II for the time being, it is destined to join it sooner or later. World War II, which is far more massive than it was in history, can no longer be avoided by anyone who wants to avoid it. The entire Republican Party, from Zhang Shusheng onwards, is facing
There are extremely high expectations for this war, and every regular military intelligence meeting can arouse heated discussions. Zhang Shusheng also comes every time. He rarely expresses his opinions and listens more, and at most he makes a short speech at the end.
concluding speech.
What Su Yuren is explaining is the battlefield situation in the Far East that has heated up very rapidly recently.
"Zhukov built a solid new Far East defense line with Komsomolsk City as the center. This defense line built through the center was laid out along the water network around Komsomolsk City. Both the choice of strategic location and the layout of the defense line were very important.
It embodies extremely high military strategy. Zhukov, who was not originally good at defense, was repelled by the Japanese in many counterattacks and was now transferred to defensive counterattacks.
From the perspective of the surrounding area of Komsomolsk, there is a complex water network terrain composed of rivers and lakes. Facing the defense line carefully constructed by Zhukov, the Japanese's frontal attack will be greatly restricted. However..."
Su Yuren paused for a moment in his explanation, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and continued, "However, according to the intelligence compiled by our intelligence personnel from many sources, the Japanese are likely to jump over the narrow road from the direction of Sakhalin Island.
Strait, launching a fierce attack on the defense lines in the Komsomolsk area from behind. It is conservatively estimated that the Japanese army will use at least 300,000 combat troops for this operation."
Speaking of Sakhalin Island, the faces of the generals present could not help but change slightly. Even Zhang Shusheng had a flash of the unusually large Sakhalin Island in his eyes. However, it was one of the more famous territories in the Far East that China lost to the Soviets.
Place. In the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing in 1860, the Qing government shamefully ceded Sakhalin Island to Tsarist Russia.
"Let me say something." Zhang Shusheng stood up, walked to the stage, pointed at Komsomolsk, then pointed at Sakhalin Island, and said earnestly, "Comrades, everyone should know that these places used to be
Our territory is China. We can raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. Although we have not joined the war today,
However, I hope everyone understands what its mission is as an army shouldering the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation. It is very simple. We want to take back our own territory. It is not ours. We must take it by force. The Soviets
We should repay each other our kindness in the form of a drop of water in future battles."
"Yes, Chairman." The generals stood up and said.
Zhang Shusheng signaled Su Yuren to continue, but the war minister asked the chairman to continue because the military situation was basically finished.
"Then let me simply say that the biggest goal of the Germans in this April Fool's Day Offensive is to capture Leningrad. The German army, which currently has a total strength of 1.5 million, has launched a fierce attack on the Soviet army in Leningrad.
The Soviets were under great pressure, but their resistance was also strong. The importance of this battle was almost second only to the Battle of Moscow. The struggle between the Soviet Union and Germany would affect the entire course of World War II.
The problems in the Far East are relatively simple. The Soviet Union's strategic focus is once again tilted to the east, and Zhukov's situation will become increasingly tight. However, with the Soviets' will to fight back to the death, I think their resistance and determination to fight will, under the leadership of Zhukov,
, will exceed the Eastern Front, and the Soviet Union and Japan are likely to enter the stage of a major battle on the front line of Komsomolsk.
As for the Southeast Asian battlefield and the North African battlefield, they are currently secondary battlefields. The summer in Southeast Asia is approaching, and both sides intend to ease the war. As for the North African battlefield, the British have been completely driven out of Egypt, and the Germans have obtained the coveted energy source in North Africa...
…”
Zhang Shusheng briefly summarized it and asked the generals to discuss it individually. As he sat there, listening to the discussion, he thought of the strategic situation of the entire World War II.
There was one point he didn't talk about just now.
According to his predictions, the performance of the Soviets is far from just a matter of the Soviets.
Once the Soviet Union is completely defeated and carved up by the German-Japanese axis system, then Hitler, with his hands free, will take advantage of the power of victory and lead an increasingly powerful European legion and Japanese expeditionary legion to launch a final attack on the British across the sea.
Attack. According to the strength of the British mainland, it is almost impossible to defend an attack of that scale, even if there is an English Channel in the middle.
Well, the key point of this war, this World War II, has already appeared on the Soviets.
Zhang Shusheng predicts that perhaps, the turning point of World War II will appear soon.[
At this point in the war, Zhang Shusheng also understood that it was time for him to make his next move. Thinking of what he had done to the Germans, a cruel sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Shusheng was not the only one to understand the situation of World War II. As potential victims, the British saw it more clearly than anyone else.
On April 15, 2016, the fifteenth day after the German-Japanese April Fools' Day offensive was launched, Churchill once again flew to the United States urgently and delivered an important speech at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., "The Nazis will destroy the world."
”.
"...Dear gentlemen and ladies:
I came here today to seek help from the American people who uphold peace. The evil Nazis are leading their increasingly powerful Axis group to crazily sweep across the entire Eurasian continent.
From Europe to the Far East, from Southeast Asia to the entire Strait of Malacca, their dirty figures are everywhere. They are killing, destroying these areas, and brutally killing the people in these areas. They have taken these areas for their own use and used them
resources, while alleviating domestic economic and social conflicts, while re-arming more troops to accumulate strength for their next attack.
The current situation is very unoptimistic.
According to the intelligence I just received when I left London, Hitler has lost patience with the war in Leningrad. In order to completely solve this protracted war situation, a large number of biochemical virus weapons have been secretly transported to the front line. It is expected that before the end of the month at the latest, Germany will
People will launch a huge chemical virus war against the Soviets, and eventually defeat the Soviets and drive them out of Leningrad and out of Moscow.
Please allow me to reasonably assume that once the Soviet Union is finally defeated, the Germans and Japanese will join forces to endanger the entire Eurasian region, the Pacific and even the Atlantic region, and ultimately endanger the lives and property of the American people...
I ask you to provide support, war expenditures, weapons and equipment, and even at least a hundred divisions of infantry to the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and all those around the world who are fighting the evil Nazism..."
Churchill's unprecedented serious speech was reported wildly by newspapers across the United States and even Canada the next day. All newspapers used the same headline: The Nazis are coming.
All major newspapers published the speech in the Capitol Building in full, and many well-known commentators believed that Churchill was not an alarmist. Although the great United States is far away from the Eurasian battlefield, once the war intensifies, even the British and the Soviets will
After a complete failure, the interests of the United States will be damaged to the greatest extent, and even homeland security cannot be guaranteed.
Facing the increasingly severe situation, many Americans have begun to realize that World War II is getting closer to the United States.
In the report, a well-known military theorist analyzed in detail that through coercion and coercion, the Germans will soon completely engulf the entire Europe. Even the French have established a Nazi government. However, the so-called De Gaulle government has
Vietnam was driven out of Southeast Asia and lost its last resort.
Military theorists believe that once Hitler engulfs the entire Europe, successfully carves up the Soviet Union with the help of the Japanese and the indifference of the Chinese, and distributes the Soviet Union's huge interests to its European allies, then the Battle of Britain can be foreseen
, it will happen in a blink of an eye.
Once the United Kingdom is captured, in addition to pointing its guns at China, the huge Axis Nazi army will have the United States as its next largest and most likely opponent on a global scale.
By that time, not only will all interests in the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean be lost, but the battlefield will even reach the mainland of the United States.
However, what is completely unimaginable is that despite American public opinion trumpeting the dangers of the Nazis, the majority of the American people do not want to join the war. They only support the government in supporting the Allied Powers and oppose the government sending troops.
They believe that if the situation continues to deteriorate, then the U.S. government should strengthen homeland defense...
Not only is public opinion panicking across the United States, but the U.S. government led by Roosevelt has also reached a critical moment.
"Mr. President, Prime Minister Churchill's speech is likely to become a fact. Of course, the time when the Germans or Japanese will point the war finger at us may be one year later, or it may be two years. However, even if the war does not break out in the end, the United States will
All global interests will also be lost, seriously threatening the long-term development of the United States."
In the White House of the United States, a special meeting of senior generals of the three armed forces is being held. President Roosevelt is present in person. Discussions are ongoing on the emergency war situation mentioned by Churchill. Secretary of the Army Stimson and Chief of Staff of the Army General Marshall are leading this high-level military meeting.
"Mr. President, I suggest that we immediately establish a wartime joint operations command and establish a Joint Chiefs of Staff to strengthen the military command and combat system so that our military forces can respond quickly to emergencies." Stimson suggested with a serious expression.
[
"Yes, Mr. President, and even if we do not send troops to join the war, it is necessary to formulate a huge war assistance plan and increase the assistance to the British and Soviets to a wartime emergency level." Marshall, as the Chief of Staff of the Army Department,
Although he does not have actual military command authority, he knows what the United States should do now. His advice is very clear. If he does not want to get involved in the war prematurely, then he should let others hold on longer.
"My generals, I have read the huge plan you proposed for the last time before the meeting. Once this plan is launched, the entire United States will enter a countdown to join the war, and there will be no retreat." Roosevelt gently knocked.
He knocked on the table. Deep down, he actually advocated war.
war, and believes that the United States should join the war because of the current domestic situation. "We lack a sufficient excuse to persuade the American people to support the war. Then, perhaps, after you have perfected this plan, when the situation requires
When the time comes, I can sign off on such a plan immediately."
"Pa bang bang..."
As soon as Roosevelt finished speaking, all the generals attending the military meeting stood up, looked at the president in a wheelchair, and applauded enthusiastically.
"Dear Mr. President, once this great Roosevelt plan is finally signed by you, it will be the most important step for the United States to change the world since the outbreak of World War II." Admiral Ernest, Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Navy, saluted.
.
Roosevelt struggled to stand up, returned the salute, and said seriously, "The interests of the United States are above all else."
Year, around 3 o'clock in the morning on April 27th.
The Luftwaffe used a large number of night-fighting aircraft and long-range artillery to pour tens of thousands of tons of chemical cannons into Leningrad. Hitler, who was eager to win the Soviet war, finally signed and approved this plan specifically for the millions of Soviets huddled in the ruins of Leningrad.
The army’s crazy killing plan.
Although the sleeping Soviet Red Army was awakened by the fierce air raid sirens, they had no idea that Hitler would dare to launch such a huge chemical warfare.
The Soviet Red Army and armed civilians, who neglected to take precautions and lacked anti-virus tools, suffered the most serious and unexpected losses since the beginning of the Leningrad Defense War.
Large numbers of Soviet Red Army troops fell among the ruins, in the trenches, and at their fighting posts.
The casualties may not have been huge, but the damage caused made the original defensive position useless.
