spn Chapter 336: The first strike is king: the ‘butcher’ plan

In the morning, Jiang Baili and others walked into the h3 central conference room of the base camp.

The emergency military meeting on the Far East issue was scheduled to be held at 8:30. Zhang Shusheng had not yet arrived, but the lieutenant generals and generals were basically there. The generals and senior officials of the base camp were all the same. The situation was tense. They greeted each other and then parted.

The two sat down and quietly looked through the meeting documents on the table in front of everyone, which were all summary reports on the recent situation in World War II.

The background of this emergency meeting was that Japan officially announced its separation from the Axis Powers and signed an offensive and defensive alliance agreement with the major Allied countries represented by the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union in Washington.

*** From then on, he switched to join the Allied Powers.[

German Field Marshal Model was assassinated by agents of unknown nationality in front of his official residence under house arrest in the suburbs of Tokyo. Two young Bushido officers of the new generation of the Japanese army were also killed. For a time, the news shocked the world.

The first to react was Hitler.

Hitler announced at an emergency base camp meeting in Berlin that the Nazis unilaterally violated the multilateral agreement of the Axis powers and conspired to kill German Marshal Model, causing great shame to the feelings of the German people and Germany's national dignity. Germany first

Time secretly recalled the negotiating team, expelled the Japanese mission, arrested Japanese intelligence agents in Europe, tore up all Japanese-German cooperation agreements, and even searched and arrested ordinary Japanese people in Europe.

At the same time, Germany reached a consensus with China to abandon the tripartite negotiations between China, Germany and Japan, and jointly condemned Japan's shameful behavior.

Hitler believed that *** had in fact betrayed the Axis Powers. Germany would convene a summit meeting of the Axis Powers and use ***'s absence as a method to announce that *** had violated the Axis Agreement and would forcibly expel ***

out of the Axis Powers organization, and will persuade the Axis Powers organization to declare war on Japan after officially expelling ***.

Faced with a tragic situation that was getting out of control, the *** government, after a brief period of panic and several emergency meetings, realized that *** no longer had any extra choices.

Soon, Emperor Hirohito personally held a banquet in the palace to entertain representatives of the United States and the Soviet Union who participated in the secret talks between the United States, Japan and the Soviet Union. At the banquet, Emperor Hirohito admitted that he had caused the assassination and secretly executed Marshal Model in order to force some weak people in the country to

The forces are accelerating to move closer to the hard-liners in the military, expressing in detail the eagerness of the Communist Party to join the Allies, gain support from the Allies, and, as a member of the Allies, win a local victory in the war with the power of the whole country.

The United States and the Soviet Union were also very surprised by the assassination of Marshal Model. It was a coincidence that an American action team had just been established with the purpose of assassinating Model or members of the German Communist Party. Unexpectedly, it failed.

The '*** people' took action first.

After repeated negotiations, the United States and the Soviet Union finally agreed in principle to most of the Communist Party's conditions, especially the Communist Party's proposal to arm a large number of new divisions within three years and expand the total number of troops to the maximum size of 11 million.

When the conditions were met, the United States finally agreed to almost all of the weapons and other aid plans proposed by the Communist Party.

On the territorial claim proposed by the Communist Party of China, the Soviet Union agreed in principle to designate the entire area south of Komsomolsk and the entire Sakhalin Island (formerly China's Sakhalin Island) as a temporary administrative area for Japan. Because the Soviet Union believed that the Korean area

It is narrow and has mountainous territory, which is not conducive to the deployment of large-scale mechanized troops, rapid attacks, and a comprehensive wartime attack on China's hinterland. And North Korea is close to China's powerful Northeast Garrison Area, so there are many hidden dangers, and China

The people even established a military forward base in Sinuiju.

The Communist Party believes that under such extreme circumstances, even if the three-party coalition forces of the United States, Japan and the Soviet Union defeated the powerful Chinese Far Eastern Front Army on the Far East battlefield, it would not be conducive to the subsequent attack on China's mainland.

Under the strong mediation of the United States, the Soviets finally agreed to list the above areas as "temporary administrative areas for the Communist Party", which was equivalent to being occupied, but with a more pleasant name. However, Zhukov's strong opposition finally saved the Communist Party.

The territory north of Qingcheng, according to the conditions originally proposed by the Communists, covers the entire Greater Far East, including the Kamchatka Peninsula and further north.

The reasons why the *** put forward such ridiculous conditions are: first of all, the *** suffered extremely heavy losses in the Far East battlefield. From the beginning of the war to the present, there have been a total of 2.1 million casualties, of which only a quarter of the soldiers survived treatment.

Being able to return to the battlefield, that is to say, in the big meat grinder of the Far East, within two or three years,

***A total of permanent "hard data" losses of up to 1.4 million troops. You must know that the terrain of the Far East is narrow, and large-scale attacks are not as convenient as the Soviet-German battlefield. In head-to-head situations, it is difficult to have a "one-off"

Hundreds of thousands of people were taken prisoner. In fact, this permanent loss was already very huge.

Of course, the military expenditures invested are astronomical. You must know that this is the only major battlefield in Japan besides the Southeast Asian battlefield. The losses in the Southeast Asian battlefield are far smaller than those in the Far East battlefield, but the profits are dozens of times that of the Far Eastern battlefield. Secondly,

, Mao Zedong believes that without the strong participation of Mao Zedong and the deployment of Mao Zedong troops on the Soviet battlefield and the Chinese battlefield, the entire Far East, even the entire Siberia, that is, half of the Soviet Union will fall to China.

In this case, why can’t the government be given temporary control for decades?

You must know that the current situation in the Soviet Union is not bad, but it has reached the point of national subjugation and genocide.

Fortunately, in the end, the Americans exchanged a large number of conditions such as interests in Asia and the Pacific, as well as military assistance and military technology transfer, in exchange for concessions from the Japanese.

Whether it is in Southeast Asia or the Soviet battlefield, the endangered Allies really need tens of millions of troops from the Communists.

Today, the total number of German troops deployed on the battlefield has reached 9.5 million, close to 10 million troops. The entire European Nazi army has reached a terrifying figure of 18 million. If the Chinese army of 67 million or more is added (the statistical method is in

All military forces, including reserve forces.), the military strength of the entire Axis Powers is very advantageous to the Allies. If you consider China's terrifying population of 600 million, anyone will be horrified.

This is how the Communist Party convinced the Americans: The Germans had a population of less than 80 million (including early directly occupied areas such as the Sudetenland), but an army of nearly 10 million. The Soviet Union had a population of 1.6 billion and a total of 11 million troops at its peak.

Tens of millions of troops have been mobilized. Based on this number, regardless of armed costs and economic strength, the Chinese can easily mobilize 50 million troops. Although this is only an exaggerated number, it has become a powerful force for the Japanese to persuade the United States and Britain.

The best excuse.[

Because the current population of Japan is about 72 million. Once it exerts all its strength, it can mobilize an army of 11 million. As long as the United States can assist in arming, Japan will fulfill its role of containing China and take the initiative to attack when conditions are ripe in the future.

China’s arduous historical mission.

As a result, in the end, Japan successfully joined the Allies and became a new member. On that day, he announced the immediate expulsion of all Axis ambassadors in Japan, the expulsion of official and influential civil groups, and the search and arrest of Axis intelligence personnel.

Confiscate the assets of the Axis countries in Japan, completely negate past debts, and finally declare war on the Axis countries, including Germany and China.

"stand up!!"

Zhang Shusheng walked into the huge central conference room, and many senior generals and officials who were already sitting at attention stood up.

"sit down."

After Zhang Shusheng sat down, he did not hesitate and said directly, "The Communist Party declared war on the Axis Powers. In the short term, we will be the most affected. The Sino-Japanese War has restarted, and it is an indisputable fact that China has become the dominant force in the Far East battlefield.

***The two ends of the human-headed rat always want to tear off a few pieces of flesh from our bodies. Ten years ago, we did not settle the accounts cleanly. This time, we must settle the accounts with all the profits.

Fortunately, we are well prepared.

Chief of General Staff, please introduce our current preparations."

Zhang Shusheng looked at Chief of General Staff Jiang Baili, who stood up, responded and walked towards the big map.

"Chairman of the Generalissimo, dear comrades, we currently have a total of 2 million troops on the Far East and Northeast borders. Excluding the troops used for the Northern Expedition, the available troops are about 1.5 million.

The troops in the Northern Expedition to the northern part of the Soviet Union moved very quickly. The attack of the large group of armored forces was very sharp, and the attack speed was very fast along the way. The subsequent mobile forces only needed to take over the city and rectify local affairs. After all, Siberia and the northwest region of the Far East are really

The land is too vast and sparsely populated. To put it bluntly, if they cannot get supplies, the resistance forces cannot get close to the city. The guerrillas may even starve to death on the vast ice field, or be wiped out by mobile suppression troops. Of course, a series of occupations

Policies will also help stabilize these newly occupied areas.

At present, we are adopting the method of establishing a military control "government" in the newly occupied areas, focusing on focusing on stationing and focusing on "cleaning up" to stabilize the areas and eliminate the remaining Soviet troops and guerrillas.

It is expected that next week, the Northern Expeditionary Force of the Far Eastern Front will join forces with the Northern Expeditionary Force of the Siberian Front in Olek-Minsk. Due to the drastic changes in the battlefield situation in the Far East, the main armored force of the Far Eastern Front will move south, and the task of the Northern Expedition will be handed over to the Siberian Front.

This ensures that the last east-west corridor of the entire Soviet Union is effectively cut off.

However, although the Soviets have extremely few troops in the central part, the population is sparse, and the resistance is weak, they still need to station some troops. It is expected that there will be 500,000 troops stationed. These troops will be replaced by reserve troops within half a year.

Go to station, and the main force will also return to the Far East.

Other troops in the Northeast are mainly used as troops in the Shenyang Garrison Area to participate in offensive and defensive operations against North Korea.

As a result, our military strength in the Far East Theater is still somewhat tight."

Jiang Baili only briefly mentioned the offensive momentum on the Soviet battlefield. After all, under the fierce attack of China's elite armored group army and airborne group army, how could the Soviet third-rate troops, or even the militia, with less than 1 million troops in the entire large area, resist?

There was also the Siberian Front in the center supporting the northward attack, so the situation was overwhelming. He didn't mention it much.

At present, the top priority is the Far East Theater.

"However, since our army has always emphasized rapid deployment and rapid maneuverability, after coordinating railway transportation, our army's current mobilization speed is very fast. Since the outbreak of the German Communist Party incident, in more than 20 days, we have

500,000 troops have been transferred northward from the Tianjin-Beijing Garrison Area, the Central Plains Garrison Area and other nearby areas. At present, some heavy equipment has not yet moved northward.

Throughout the deployment of the entire battlefield, reserve forces will gradually be transferred to the newly occupied areas of the Soviet Union for key garrisoning. While the Northern Expedition armored forces move south, we must ensure that the number of troops participating in the entire Far East theater reaches 1.5 million to 2 million.

"

Jiang Baili briefly explained the strategy, but the specific battle plan was naturally not announced.[

Zhang Shusheng interjected: "What is the current military strength of the United States, Japan and the Soviet Union in the Far East theater?"

"The current total military strength of the United States, Japan and the Soviet Union in the Far East is approximately 2.1 million troops, 1.7 million Soviet troops, and 300,000 American troops. The total military strength reaches 4.1 million."

Jiang Baili said.

Zhang Shusheng nodded. The war in the Far East battlefield was quite strange. The Soviet Union had almost exhausted its last drop of blood in the fierce battle in the Far East. The factories in the rear of the Far East could not even provide enough artillery and ammunition. At the most tense moment, there were dozens of Americans in one day.

Ten transport ships arrived at the battlefield in the Far East through the Strait of Okhotsk.

Logistics were extremely lacking, and Zhukov even ordered the armored troops to avoid fighting. In order to save "medicine", they could only fight in a positional warfare mode with limited consumption.

Although Japan had more troops and had no worries about logistics, its national strength was weak and it could not withstand such huge casualties. Therefore, the two sides fought in the Far East for two or three years, but their military strength actually became smaller and smaller.

To be honest, if the Communists do not turn around and fall into the arms of the Allies and covet the richer meat of China, victory in the Far East battlefield will only be a matter of time. Logistics is seriously lacking, the United States' maritime supply transportation is cut off, and the north is from

The transportation and supply lines north of Siberia and south of the Arctic Ocean are too long, and defeat will only happen sooner or later.

Even, according to Jiang Baili's estimation, the Soviet Union only needs to persist for another six months before the Soviet Union has to surrender in the Far East. In this half year, the Japanese army will become stronger and stronger, and the United States has not yet recovered from the defeat in the Pacific Naval War.

The timing was perfect and it was also the most difficult period for the Allied Powers in the Far East, but the Japanese did not take it seriously. Instead, they used this huge advantage as a condition for negotiation, thus gaining huge benefits.

"Is 2 million versus 4.1 million a big problem?" Zhang Shusheng asked.

"It's not a big problem."

Jiang Baili: "Our main idea is to strike first. On the Far East battlefield now, the United States, the Soviet Union and Japan have just ceased war. They basically have no ability to launch an active attack on the scale of the front army. Especially the Soviet army. According to intelligence, many tank methods have been launched.

, the aircraft could not take off, and there was a severe shortage of spare parts. Most combat troops already had two people using one gun, and the guns issued to one squad were not enough to support a large-scale defensive battle.
