I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 434

The scene of the meeting fell into a frozen silence. Facing the "vicious tactics" of the Nanjing Army that killed people without blood and without knives, the Soviet generals were indeed a little hard to accept, and it took time to slowly think about countermeasures.

Konev was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Comrades, I want to tell you one thing, a difficult choice that put us in a dilemma.

As you all know, North Asia is located in the north of Asia, with a very high latitude, and most areas are not suitable for growing crops, especially in the four cities of North Asia, where there are very few farmlands, and the cold winter has come, we cannot rely on Sufficient food for self-reliance.

The four cities in North Asia and most of the cities in North Asia were developed by relying on transportation (Siberian Railway) and local minerals. They are basically industrial cities and do not have an agricultural foundation.

Cities in North Asia are all mining, metallurgy, and processing. Industrial products are transported by rail to Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and then grain is transported by rail to maintain the entire operation of the city.

The same is true for the four cities in North Asia. There are many factories and developed industries, but they lack farmland. In particular, the four cities in North Asia are now being captured one by one by the Chinese army. The railways are completely cut off, and there is no food from Eastern Europe or Central Asia.

It can be said that the food in our hands is fixed, and as much as we eat, it will be less.

After the Chinese army blocked us in the four cities in North Asia, they carried out air raids and bombing for a period of time. I noticed that they did not dispatch many planes, and they did not drop bombs in the cities, but dropped the bombs on the fields outside the suburbs. , all dropped are incendiary bombs, and all the crops were burned.

I have only now realized that this was all planned by the Chinese army. They burned down the little farmland in our control area, further attacking our agricultural foundation.

And now, winter has come, and it is impossible for us to farm!" (The Nanjing army dispatched bombers to bomb the four cities in North Asia, almost all of which bombed the farmland with incendiary bombs, and did not bomb the cities themselves. One reason was to burn down the Soviet-controlled areas The second is to save aircraft and ammunition for other battlefields, and the third is to deliberately protect the four cities in North Asia, because China needs factories, industrial equipment, and infrastructure in the four cities in North Asia.

）

The hearts of all the participants became more and more heavy.

Konev continued: "The Chinese army did surround us, but not completely. There are Chinese troops on our east, west, and south sides, but not on our north side.

However, the Chinese army is not lenient to us. There are two reasons why they did not deploy heavy troops to the north of the four North Asian cities. One is that our control area is relatively large, more than 30 square kilometers. Troops are deployed at transportation nodes such as railways, highways, tunnels, and mountain passes. If they want to fully encircle us, they also need to mobilize a large number of troops. The density is sparse, so we may concentrate our forces on one point to break through or counterattack; second, it is not necessary. The northern part of the four cities in North Asia is a very desolate Siberian wilderness, and millions or even millions of areas are no-man's land.

It is precisely because of this that we have a very weak channel for external communication.

Among the four cities in North Asia, the easternmost is Novosibirsk, the westernmost is Krasnoyarsk, the southernmost is Novokuznetsk, and the northernmost is Tomsk.

Departing from the northernmost Tomsk, there will be an old and simple road extending to the northwest, turning to the southeast after a detour of more than 400 kilometers, and extending more than 300 kilometers to Tyumen.

This road with a total length of more than 700 kilometers is our last lifeline and blood vessel. Unfortunately, it is very fragile, because of primitive conditions, harsh environment, insufficient equipment and other reasons, the transportation capacity of this road is very low!"

Susaikov asked: "How can there be such a road? Is it a preparedness road built in advance?"

Konev looked at Susaikov: "It is the road used to deport prisoners to Siberia!" He continued, "The transport capacity of this road is very low. We can get from the Ural industrial area, Although the materials transported from the agricultural area are only a few hundred tons per day, they will add up!"

Vatutin didn't quite understand: "Comrade Konev, what exactly is the 'difficult choice' you are talking about?"

Konev was silent for a while: "That road only transports a few hundred tons per day. If it is used to transport food, it can barely alleviate our food crisis. If it is used to transport weapons, ordnance and ammunition, it can slowly restore our economy. Combat power!"

The generals understood.

Chuikov said with a slightly trembling voice: "Most of the transportation volume must be used to transport food!"

Konev sighed: "Even if all the transportation volume is used to transport food, people will still starve to death, but a little less.

That road is used to transport food, so we can’t even make ends meet!”

Vatutin said in a low voice: "If we want to restore the stronger and better combat effectiveness, we have to use that road to transport a large amount of weapons and ammunition, but as a price, the food supply will be seriously insufficient, and the four cities in North Asia will starve to death. Lots and lots of people.

Don't forget, the Chinese army is still increasing the population in our control area every day and every night!"

"Yes!" Konev whispered, "This is our difficult choice.

Perhaps, we can get more cars, increase transportation capacity, and at the same time take care of food and ammunition, and slowly add up, but the Chinese will not give us too much time.

According to my speculation, the German army is at a disadvantage on the Eastern European battlefield, and the Chinese army will go to reinforce it. If the German-Chinese coalition forces win or reverse the situation, the Chinese army will definitely turn around and attack us. We don't have that much time.

If we procrastinate, we will be at a disadvantage.

According to intelligence, China and Japan are negotiating on ordnance. China will cede Eastern Siberia to Japan in exchange for the Japanese army to provide a large number of aircraft artillery to the Chinese army. Comrades, the heavy firepower of the Chinese army is not standing still, it is Constantly improving!"

The meeting site fell into an icy silence.

After a while, Susaikov said slowly: "Right now, we have no other choice. The motherland comes first, the victory comes first, and the front line comes first. For victory, no matter how much we pay, it is worth it!" His implication is very clear. The road transported the ordnance, and the Soviet army in the four cities of North Asia could restore its strong combat effectiveness as soon as possible. As for the lack of food, countless people starved to death in the end, but the Soviet Union paid for the victory of the war. cost.

Chuikov became excited: "Comrade Susaikov, I disagree with you! Yes, victory is the first, but the Soviet people are also the first! Comrade Stalin once said in a public speech that although there is no big power right now Great powers help us, but we don’t need to worry, because there is a giant behind us, that is, the Soviet people! There are 9000 million Soviet people supporting the Soviet Red Army, and the Soviet Red Army will definitely be able to defeat the enemy and win! Comrade Susaikov , the support of the Soviet people is the biggest factor in our victory in the war! We cannot disregard the life and death of the Soviet people!"

Susaikov sullenly said: "So? So we use that road to transport food? Let millions of people in the four cities of North Asia have enough to eat, and finally be captured by the Chinese? Comrade Chuikov, there is no victory, There is nothing to talk about! We have failed, and even if the Soviet people are safe, they will become slaves of the capitalists again! We have liberated the Soviet people, and we cannot let them fall into the clutches of capitalism! It requires a huge price, but it is worth it! For the benefit of the majority, it is the principle to sacrifice a few people!"

Chuikov was speechless for a moment, and he replied with difficulty: "There must be another way!" He looked at Konev eagerly.

Konev also couldn't bear it, but he knew the consequences of being soft-hearted, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he fell into an unprecedented difficult situation.

"Oh! Is there any other way?" Konev said to himself wearily.

Fu Zuoyi was originally in charge of the Nanjing Army's siege and blockade of the four cities in North Asia. Fu Zuoyi was best at defending the city and fighting defensive battles. The siege and blockade operation was handed over to Luo Zhuoying, and Fu Zuoyi went to Omsk, which needed more defensive warfare. The Nanjing Army that had surrounded the four cities in North Asia was also replaced by the four group armies brought by Luo Zhuoying.

Jiang Weiguo knew that the troops brought by Luo Zhuoying were the backbone of the Southern Central Army, but their combat effectiveness was definitely not as good as that of the Nanjing Army. In this case, they should not be allowed to fight offensive wars. There is no problem in fighting such wars of siege, blockade, and defense. As a result, the Nanjing Army was able to mobilize a large number of valuable troops for the main battlefield and the next stage of operations.

"You Qing (Luo Zhuoying), the four cities in North Asia will be handed over to you!" At the handover ceremony, Fu Zuoyi and Luo Zhuoying shook hands tightly, "There is no need to call in, just let the old men inside have no way to escape. Just come out!"

"Yisheng (Fu Zuoyi's pronoun), you can rest assured!" Luo Zhuoying said with a smile, "I promise, don't talk about people, even a mouse can't escape!"

The two smiled at each other.

Luo Zhuoying said again: "Yisheng, I heard that you are going to Omsk?"

Fu Zuoyi nodded: "Yes!"

Although Luo Zhuoying is not a high-ranking officer in the Nanjing Army, he is already very aware of the current war situation, so he holds Fu Zuoyi's hand even harder: "Omsk is completely an isolated city, Yisheng, take care!"

Fu Zuoyi smiled in relief: "This battle is a battle of national destiny that is related to the prosperity and decline of China. How can we not go all out? Even if we die in this war, it is worth it! Soldiers should be shrouded in horse leather to return their corpses, and they died in the civil war It's meaningless in the war, and dying in a foreign war is the best ending!"

"Don't say such unlucky words!" Luo Zhuoying respectfully said, "On the day of victory, let's toast and drink together!"

The two sides bid farewell to each other.

Assisting Luo Zhuoying to continue the siege of the four cities in North Asia was Jiang Fusheng. Jiang Fusheng belonged to a high-level figure in the Nanjing Army. , Jiang Fusheng is a native of Hunan), so he was in a good situation. After seeing the rapid rise of the Ning family, Jiang Fusheng immediately jumped ship and came to join Jiang Weiguo.

Many senior officials of the Nanjing Army did not welcome Jiang Fusheng, because Jiang Fusheng was "notorious" and he was known for his cruelty.

Jiang Weiguo didn't take it seriously: "I heard that this person is cruel? Very good, I just need this kind of person to 'fight poison with poison'!" He accepted Jiang Fusheng, but also warned him that he must correct some of his previous bad habits and use all his cruelty. On the body of the enemy and aliens.

After officially taking over the combat mission, Luo Zhuoying had just finished reading the battle report provided by Jiang Fusheng, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Isn't this too cruel?"

"Cruel?" Jiang Fusheng sneered, "When is it not cruel to fight?"

Luo Zhuoying was speechless. He knew that although Jiang Fusheng was his deputy, but the other party was a direct descendant of the Nanjing Army, he had to let him go. However, he did feel repulsed by some of Jiang Fusheng's actions.

"Report!" A brigade commander rushed over, "In a mountain pass in the southeast of Novosibirsk, a large number of Russians were found trying to leave the four cities in North Asia, tens of thousands of them!"

Luo Zhuoying asked, "Are you a soldier?"

"No! It's a civilian!"

"Then what are you waiting for?" Jiang Fusheng shouted, "Follow the old rules!"

"Old rules?" The brigade commander was at a loss.

Jiang Fusheng realized that the brigade commander and his troops were from the Southern Central Army who had just arrived, and he didn't know what the "old rules" meant, so he explained impatiently: "Send cavalry to kill! Try to chop with sabers! This will save bullets After killing them all, cut off all the heads, stick them on wooden sticks or hang them on trees, and tell those old men inside that this will be the end if they run out again!"

The brigade commander pouted his lips: "They are all civilians...not the Soviet army disguised as civilians, many old people and children..."

"Whether it's dying or just born, I won't leave any!" Jiang Fusheng yelled, "This is an order! Damn! Do we need to be soft on those old men who have lost their conscience? If you don't want to do it, go back to the south! "

The brigade commander looked at Luo Zhuoying timidly, Luo Zhuoying sighed slightly and nodded.

It was Xiao Yao's idea to drive the people into the city, but it was not his original idea. It was a method used by the Japanese army against Nanjing during the Nanjing Battle, and it was used by Nanjing Military Academy on the Soviet army at this time.

Hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops surrounded the four North Asian cities controlled by the Soviet army like iron barrels under the condition of "opening the net". The Soviet soldiers and civilians inside could not get out, and the Soviet civilians outside were driven in day and night. , making the population of the four cities in North Asia continue to grow every day and night.

For this matter, Jiang Weiguo strongly supported this matter, because he was already worried about how to deal with so many Russians in the area controlled by the Nanjing Army (the Nanjing Army’s move was aimed at the Russians, not at the people of other ethnic groups in the Soviet Union. The object of the Nanjing Army's struggle) and use gentle means to turn them into "Chinese Russians". Negative impact. Therefore, "driving people into the city" can be said to have solved Jiang Weiguo's problem with one stone and three birds. It not only cleaned up the occupied area, thereby freeing up land space for Chinese immigrants to gain a foothold, but also turned the country's burden into The burden of the Soviet Union, the logic is ready-made: you are Soviet people, sending you to the Soviet-controlled area, isn't it what you want to see through?We are also happy to help.

Of course, the Nanjing Army did not send them off, but drove them away. Millions of Russians from Central Asia, North Asia and other places were continuously driven to the vicinity of the four cities in North Asia, and then driven in.

There are scenes like this everywhere: long dragons of Russians dragging their children, helping the old and the young, screaming for land, crying loudly, being driven forward by Nanjing army officers and soldiers with bayonets, leather whips, and wooden sticks. Those who do not cooperate Those who were severely beaten were beaten to death directly, and those who resisted were shot to death.

Wherever the long queue of people goes, it is extremely miserable. People die all the way, and people in the team keep falling down. Some are sick, some are hungry, some are cold, and some are exhausted. Many dead people were left behind.

The Nanjing army didn't care much about this matter. Anyway, it's winter, the sky is freezing, the dead will not rot, and they are not concentrated, so there will be no plague. Will help to clean it up.

After the civilians are driven to the vicinity of the four cities in North Asia, they will be "handled separately."

Old people and children with little use value were first driven in to consume the grain reserves of the Soviet army. Young and middle-aged men and women were forced to work by the Nanjing army to build a line of defense for the Nanjing army to surround and blockade the four cities in North Asia.

The Nanjing army built three lines of trench defense with a cumulative length of more than 500 kilometers to surround the four cities in North Asia, basically all of which were done by Russian civilians.

After the completion, the Nanjing Army will drive in those young and middle-aged Russians who have been used, and will cut off their left and right index fingers, so that they cannot shoot, preventing them from becoming Soviet army reserve soldiers, and even keeping non-lethal weapons on their bodies. Stabbing a bayonet in the place, causing them to bleed or become disabled, not only cannot become a reserve soldier of the Soviet army, but also cannot work for the Soviet army, and even consumes the Soviet army's medicine.

Not only that, all the Russians who were driven into the four North Asian cities would be starved for two days in advance, and their clothes would be stripped off when they were released, allowing them to go in hungry, cold and shivering, thus further consuming the Soviet army’s food, Clothes, medicine and other supplies.

Jiang Fusheng's cruel character was fully demonstrated in this incident. He did it extremely ferociously. The Soviets who did not want to go in were all served with bayonets, and the Soviets who wanted to escape were also served with bayonets. Some of the corpses of the Soviet civilians who were unwilling to go in or wanted to escape were hung on trees, and some were beheaded and stamped. The blood was abnormal and shocking. At the same time, they were marked with fierce Russian slogans:

"Those who don't enter will die!"

"Those who escape will die!"

In fact, the Soviets who went in and stayed in the four North Asian cities still had a dead end, starving to death.

Because of the rapid shortage of food, appalling incidents of cannibalism quickly occurred in the four cities of North Asia. Starvation was everywhere, and countless people died. The starving people who are hungry, crazy, and red-eyed have to eat human flesh.

Chapter 508 Surprise attack across the lake (1)

Although Hitler was unwilling to accept the reality that made him very angry, it was also inconvenient for him to lie to the Chinese high-level officials. He couldn’t be sure that the German army on the front line was clearly stagnant and struggling, but he still slapped his face and pretended to be a fat man. "Bar?Therefore, although the report on the war in Eastern Europe sent by the high-level German army to the high-level Nanjing army did have a certain degree of whitewashing, through the twitchy words such as "temporarily unfavorable", "some difficulties", "need time", and "resolve immediately", Coupled with the close reports of Chinese military and political personnel stationed in Germany such as Shang Zhen and Cheng Tianfang, the senior officials of the Nanjing Army have fully confirmed the fact that Hitler's three-way army failed all the way.

"After the Battle of Kiev, the advantages of the German army are obvious, that is, the morale is greatly boosted, and they are full of confidence in victory. Many European countries have turned to Germany, but there are also many disadvantages and hidden dangers!" At the high-level meeting of the Nanjing Army, Yang Jie concluded Dao said, "First, the troops are insufficient, and the German army has lost more than 40 well-trained elite soldiers, which has an undoubted impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops; second, the heavy consumption of supplies, especially ammunition and fuel; third, The logistical supply became more and more difficult. After the German army took Kiev, it continued to drive straight in, making its logistics transportation line as long as thousands of kilometers. They continued to move forward, did not have enough time to sweep the occupied areas, and because of insufficient troops, it was difficult to wipe out the numerous resistance organizations and guerrillas for a while, and the railways and roads in the attack area were also destroyed by the Soviet army; fourth, to participate in the war The German army did not get enough time to rest and continue to fight non-stop and exhausted. They generally felt exhausted and physically and mentally exhausted. Fifth, this battle was the first war that the German army participated in after 22 years, and the scale was extremely large. Although the German army was very good, But time has passed, and the war mode of this world war and the last world war has undergone major changes. The German army is not proficient in many aspects such as infantry-tank coordination, infantry-gun coordination, air-ground coordination, etc. due to a serious lack of actual combat experience. Obviously there is no such time; Sixth, the German army divided into three groups, changed the outline of the strategic plan before the war, and made a major mistake of dispersing its forces!" Yang Jie sighed, "In general, the three German armies are in a bitter battle. It is the bitter fruit caused by Hitler and some high-level German leaders who underestimated the enemy and eager for quick success!"

"I think there are three more reasons to add!" Guo Jiqiao said, "First, the meteorological reasons, the rainy season in Russia and the arrival of winter, made the situation of the German army worse; second, the reason for the Soviet army's defense, the Soviet war After the outbreak, Moscow's high-level officials have considered comprehensive combat preparations for important cities in the rear. According to reliable information, the three important cities of Moscow, Leningrad, and Stalingrad were all constructed by local Soviet soldiers and civilians before the German army approached the city. Perfect and more elaborate fortifications, the ace tactic of the German army is blitzkrieg, but the three cities of Moscow already belong to the Soviet Union's rear cities, and the three cities are in full swing, making it impossible for the German tank group to conduct a surprise blitzkrieg on the three cities, and the tank group It is also not suitable for urban attack warfare; third, the national strength of the Soviet Union.

We cannot underestimate the Soviet Union. It is true that the Soviet Union has been defeated repeatedly under the attack of Germany and us. Germany is the third in the world (the first is the United States, and the second is Germany). We cannot underestimate the Soviet Union! He said emotionally, "At the beginning, the Japanese aggressively invaded China, and the Japanese uttered wild words, claiming that China would be destroyed in three months. Great powers such as the United States, Britain, and France also disliked us. What happened?"Haven't we persisted yet? "

The generals nodded empathetically.

Falkenhausen, who attended the meeting together, also expressed his agreement again and again. He sighed: "The head of state is indeed too stubborn!"

Yang Jie said: "The three-way army fell into defeat together, which made Hitler very angry. Fortunately, it was like a blow to his head, which made him a lot more rational, and many high-level Germans also woke up and changed their positions. hesitate.

General Shang Zhen is fighting against Hitler in Germany, asking him to change the strategy of "three-pronged attack" and return to the original strategy of "Stalingrad first, Leningrad second, and Moscow third".

Ladies and gentlemen, we know that Germany and our original plan was to "launch a strong attack on Stalingrad, not attack Leningrad, and launch a feint attack on Moscow". However, Germany is now attacking these three cities. , Wasted a lot of military power in vain.

According to General Shang Zhen's report, Hitler was indeed a little annoyed and regretful. Although he had not clearly ordered a change in strategy, he had already shown signs of this.

The situation could have been salvaged if Hitler had repaired the situation.

Time is running out for Germany, and it is now mid-to-late November. If Stalingrad, the Caucasus, and the Baku oil fields cannot be captured before this winter, this war will really be a nightmare.

General Shang Zhen strongly proposed to Hitler that no less than 40 troops be dispatched from the Leningrad and Moscow battlefields to reinforce Stalingrad. If this plan can be put into action before December, Stalingrad will still be taken. Very promising!"

Huang Wei said: "I suggest that the second son go to Germany in person!" He looked at Jiang Weiguo, "Telegram is worse than talking in person! Many things are far more convincing than talking in person. Second son, you Standing in front of Hitler, the chances of him changing his mind must be much higher than seeing your telegram!"

Jiang Weiguo nodded: "Actually, I think so too!" He felt that it was really necessary for him to go to Germany.
