In view of the fact that the Russians have gathered a large number of troops in Hailanpao, Manzhouli and other border areas, Qiao Anbang immediately ordered the Army's Second Army and the Third Army to quickly gather from Changchun and Shenyang to Hulunbuir Manzhouli.
Rejoined the special operations division that had already gone to Hulunbuir, and at the same time ordered the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army to reinforce Aihun's Sixth Army.
Preparing for war with Russia.
In addition, the Seventh Army will be stationed in various parts of the Northeast, and the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Army will remain in reserve.
The four flying regiments of the Second Air Force Division are also stationed in Hulunbei Hailar and Nenjiang in Heilongjiang as air force forward bases to support army operations in Manzhouli, Heihe, Aihui and other places.
?¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
On March 1, the 28th year of the Republic of China, the Russian army once again increased its troops by tens of thousands in Manzhouli and Hailanpao areas. By now, the total strength of the Russian army in the Far East had reached 500,000.
Among them, there are more than 300,000 front-line troops, including 200,000 in Mongolia, 150,000 in Hailanpao and surrounding areas, and another 50,000 guarding the direction of Vladivostok, ready to attack the remnants of the Japanese Kwantung Army entrenched there at any time. , retaking Vladivostok.
Stalong (Harmony) takes Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov, commander of the First Army Group in Mongolia, as the commander-in-chief of the southern front (i.e. Mongolian direction).
Responsible for dealing with the hundreds of thousands of Qiao's troops gathered in Manchuria.
The northern front, that is, Hailanpao, Vladivostok and other areas north of Heilongjiang, has Vasilevsky as the commander-in-chief, and its troops are organized into the Northern Front Army.
In terms of total local strength, the Qiao Army has an advantage. However, when actually deployed to the front line, the strength of the two sides was almost the same.
The Qiao Army deployed two army groups on the Hulunbuir Grassland. Another special operations division.
There are a total of seven army reorganized divisions and two armored divisions, with a total of about 160,000 people.
The Russian army has deployed three tank brigades, eight infantry divisions, four cavalry brigades, six independent artillery regiments, and one air force division in Mongolia. There are more than 500 tanks in total, all of which are Soviet-style tanks and combat vehicles such as T34 and T28.
There are more than 2,000 large and small artillery pieces, more than 500 air force fighter planes, and a total strength of about 200,000 people.
The Soviet army has an advantage in terms of the number of troops, air force and fighters, but the performance of their tanks and fighters is not as good as the German ones equipped by Qiao's army. Therefore, the basic strength of both sides is roughly equal.
On the northern front, 150,000 Soviet troops were deployed deep along the north bank of Heilongjiang, with Hailanpao as the main frontline defense area.
The Soviet army on the northern front had nine infantry divisions, two tank and armored brigades, more than 300 vehicles, and more than 400 aircraft. There are also two directly affiliated artillery divisions.
Compared with the Russian army on the southern front, the air force on the northern front is slightly weaker, but the artillery force is much stronger.
Comparing the Russian army, the north is weak and the south is strong, while the Qiao army is exactly the opposite.
Chuyuan was ordered to occupy Heihe. Aihun, three reorganized divisions and one armored division of the Sixth Army of Nenjiang. Qiao Anbang also transferred the Fourth and Fifth Group Armies, a total of six integrated army divisions and two independent armored divisions, to the south bank of Heilongjiang.
So far, the troops assembled by the Qiao Army on the south bank of Heilongjiang have included three group armies, nine army reorganization divisions, and three directly affiliated armored divisions, with a strength of more than 240,000.
A strengthened flying group of the Second Air Force Division has also established an air force forward base in Nenjiang and is ready to take off for support at any time.
On March 2, everything was ready for the Qiao Family Army. In order to directly command the operation, Qiao Anbang led the guard brigade to Qiqihar and commanded the Qiao Family Army on the north and south fronts to fight against Russia.
Qiqihar Qiao Family Army Frontline Headquarters.
A dozen combat officers gathered around the map, and they had marked out the power situation of both the enemy and ourselves in detail.
Qiao Anbang stood in front of the map with one hand holding his arm and smoking a cigarette. Behind him, a large group of combat staff surrounded him like a star over the moon.
From the map, it can be seen that the Qiao Army and the Russian Army have reached a point of tit-for-tat confrontation, and the distance between the frontline defense areas of the two sides is less than thirty miles.
On the endless prairie, a distance of fifteen kilometers is not considered a distance at all for the Qiao Army and the Russian Army, both of which are very mobile.
The air force fighters of both sides can fly to the other side's airspace for bombing in the blink of an eye.
"General, our five group armies and another special operations division have arrived at the predetermined area. All reorganized divisions are ready for all battles and can attack the Russians at any time." Next to the combat map, a major general senior combat officer The staff officer pointed at the map with the command stick and reported the analysis.
"Well, everything is ready, now it's almost east wind." Qiao Anbang nodded with determination and said with deep meaning.
A group of combat staff members looked at each other,We don't know what Dongfeng Qiao Anbang is referring to.
"Immediately issue a message to the Russian leader Stalon in my name that the entire Siberia including the Ussuri River, Sakhalin Island, Vladivostok, Ussiyalitai, Tannu-Uryang Sea, Transkhinggan Mountains to Lake Baikal belongs to China¡¯s inherent territory.
The Aihun Treaty and the Beijing Treaty signed by the former Qing Dynasty are invalid from now on. Within ten days from the date of this announcement, Russia should immediately withdraw from our territory, otherwise we will take measures. Decisive measures do not exclude the use of force to solve the problem. "Qiao Anbang said with a calm face and a calm tone.
When he finished speaking, the expressions of the combat staff present suddenly changed, and they all took a breath of air-conditioning. They thought this announcement was ridiculous.
Let alone whether the Russians will agree to withdraw, even if they agree, they will not be able to withdraw from the Far East to Russia within ten days.
This is clearly just looking for trouble and forcing others to do something difficult.
Yes, the purpose of Qiao Anbang's seemingly extremely unreasonable announcement is to find an excuse to start a war.
As for whether it is reasonable or not, Qiao Anbang doesn't care at all. When the war has reached this point, Qiao Anbang understands that truth is always based on fists.
Only whoever has enough planes, tanks and cannons, and whose ground troops capture all disputed areas, can negotiate with the other party.
This is the principle of promoting peace through war.
Historically, the reason why the Russians have been unwilling to admit that they have invaded and occupied Chinese territory is because of their strong national power. Its military strength has surpassed China by several miles.
In this regard, China can only swallow its anger. Because they are so poor that they still have to rely on others to build the desolate land of China that has been burned by war.
Qiao Anbang has only one wish at this time, to spend his life's energy to help China regain its inherent territory and create a vast living space for future generations, so that future generations will no longer have to be controlled by others for oil, natural gas and other strategic materials.
Before the combat staff came to their senses, Qiao Anbang made another shocking statement: "Immediately send a message to the German head of state Hitler and tell him. From this moment on, our agreement, the Sino-German strategic alliance will take effect immediately."
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
In Berlin, Germany, when G?ring excitedly rushed to Mustache's office with the telegram he had just received from the East.
Mustache was reviewing documents, raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, please read the urgent telegram from Qiao Anbang from the East." Goring suppressed his excitement and handed the telegram to Mustache.
Mustache took the message with confusion. After a quick look, he was startled at first, then overjoyed. He slammed the table with a pipe still in his mouth, and coldly ordered Goering: "Immediately implement the Barbarossa plan against the Soviet Union and warn all German warriors. Use their Heroically destroy the despicable Soviets and establish a powerful German Empire! Long live the German nation and long live the German Empire!"
"Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister." G?ring saluted with great excitement, then turned around and took the order.
Compared to history. Since the German army did not launch attacks on Britain, France and other countries, the German army gathered much more troops on the Soviet-German border at this time than when the historical Barbarossa Plan was implemented.
in history. When the German army attacked the Soviet Union with a blitzkrieg, Hitler assembled a total of 550,000 troops. This time, the ambitious Hitler went all out and assembled 6.5 million troops.
??The number of Air Force fighters and tanks is also greater than in history, and in terms of performance, thanks to the help of Qiao Anbang, the German army has already equipped an improved version of the Panzer IV tank with superior performance on a large scale in advance.
There are also a considerable number of Tiger and Panther tanks. In terms of air force fighters, the German army is already better than the Russian army. Qiao Anbang did not provide Hitler with more advanced fighter prototypes or drawings.
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Just as Qiao Anbang expected, when Qiao Anbang's aggressive and simply deceptive notification message reached Stalong.
Stalong, who had always been coaxing and coaxing, only taking advantage and not suffering any losses, suddenly became furious and immediately issued a telegram strongly condemning and refuting Qiao Anbang's announcement.
??And declare that they will never bow to Qiao Anbang, let alone return the so-called territory of China.
Secretly, Stalong gave orders to Zhukov and other Far East commanders, asking them to immediately prepare for combat, to be ready to teach Qiao's army a painful lesson, and to defend Russia's inherent territory in the Far East and the territorial integrity and security of its loyal ally (Mongolia) to the death.
After receiving Stalong¡¯s tyrannical response, Qiao Anbang smiled and said nothing. At ten o¡¯clock in the evening on March 5, he suddenly ordered the deployment in Manchuria.?, the Qiao Army in Heihe and other places immediately attacked the Russian army on the opposite side.
After receiving the order, the main air force bf109 groups of Hailar and Nenjiang immediately took off overnight, covering a large number of light and heavy bombers. The Skatu dive bomber group flew towards the defense lines of the Russian northern and southern fronts under the cover of night.
Two mixed bomber groups flew to the Russian air force bases in Mongolia and northern Heilongjiang almost at the same time, and launched devastating bombing attacks on the Russian air force bases.
In the dark night, Russian fighter planes were unable to take off to meet the enemy and could only be bombed and strafed.
At the same time, a powerful artillery group composed of more than a dozen artillery regiments of the 234th Group Army of the Qiao Army in Manchuria also began to launch artillery bombardments on the Russian positions.
In addition, more than a dozen tank and armor regiments drawn from various reorganized divisions, together with three independent armored divisions, and more than 2,000 tanks and combat vehicles formed a powerful assault group to bypass the Russian army's frontal defense line in Manchuria.
At the same time, Aihui, Heihe and other artillerymen from the Qiao Army took the lead in attacking. Then the already prepared offensive troops began to board thousands of landing craft, and rubber boats began to attack the north bank.
After receiving the news that the front line was attacked, Zhukov and Vasilevsky hurriedly ordered all Russian military units to resolutely fight back.
But even worse news came. Their air force forward bases deployed in Mongolia and the Hailanpao area were suddenly attacked by the Qiao Army Air Force at night.
Thousands of fighter planes and thousands of pilots suffered heavy losses. More than half of them were injured and their combat capability was lost.
After losing air control. The Russian tank unit was also besieged by the Qiao Jiajun tank and armor assault group. The Russian T34 tank was no match for the Tiger and Panther tanks. The tank and armor battle between the two sides turned into a one-sided massacre.
By dawn, several of Zhukov's tank brigades were almost wiped out. At the same time, the frontline infantry defense positions were also violently bombed by the Qiao Jiajun air force.
??Especially the Skatu dive bombers, they are accurate dive bombers. It posed a great threat to the Russian army.
Since Qiao Jiajun¡¯s armored troops had already attacked the rear of the Russian army in a roundabout way, the Russian army was surrounded by enemies from both sides. The fierce battle lasted until the afternoon, when the entire front was finally defeated.
Two hundred thousand Russian troops were defeated like a mountain. Qiao Jiajun's armored assault troops and aviation units bombed and intercepted with all their strength. Hundreds of thousands of ground troops came out to launch a full-line pursuit.
It only took six hours. The armored troops of Qiao's Army on the southern front advanced to the outskirts of Ulabaatar.
Zhukov was forced to lead a group of headquarters personnel in a hasty retreat in the direction of Tangnu Ulianghai in the remaining armored vehicles.
By the early morning of the next day, the 3rd Army of the Qiao Army officially captured Ulaanbaatar and cleared out the remaining Russian troops in the city.
The 2nd Army and the 4th Army, with the cooperation of the armored assault troops, continued to drive straight towards Tangnu Ulianghai. Nerchinsk advanced in pursuit.
On the northern battlefield, after seizing air supremacy, the Qiao Army of the three armies, under the cover of their own air force and fierce artillery fire, successfully crossed the Heilongjiang River and captured Hailanpao in the early morning. At ten o'clock in the morning, part of the 6th Group Army had already advanced to Suchuna.
In order to facilitate the support of ground troops and continue to expand the results of the war. Pursuing the Russian army, Qiao Anbang ordered the Second Air Division in Nenjiang and Hailar to immediately move forward to Ulaanbaatar and Hailanpao.
Use these two places as forward bases for the air force to support ground troops in pursuit operations.
??¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
During the capture of Hailanpao and Ulaanbaatar, the Qiao Army captured a large number of Mongolian puppet troops and Russian troops. Because frontline commanders at all levels did not receive clear instructions, they did not carry out the same unscrupulous massacre policy as they did with the Japanese troops.
The news was fed back to Qiqihar. After Qiao Anbang learned about it, he immediately gave instructions: "For the Russian prisoners of war captured in Hailanpao and other places, all the Russian prisoners of war captured in Hailanpao and other places should be executed secretly to avoid accidents."
"General, is it too cruel to massacre Russian prisoners of war in such a large number? After all, they are different from the Japanese beasts." Wang Gensheng, then the commander of the guard brigade, said with some unbearability.
"Cruel?" Qiao Anbang snorted coldly: "Gensheng, I wonder if you have heard about the Jiangdong No. 64 massacre and the Hailanpao massacre?"
"No." Wang Gensheng shook his head.
"Then let me tell you briefly. Hailanpao, which our army captured on the northern front in the early morning, was originally our inherent territory of China. A large number of Chinese aborigines once lived there. Later, the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, and was forced to take Hailanpao away. After the cession of Pao and other places, those aborigines disappeared, and now there is no Chinese in Hailanpao. Do you know what is going on?" Qiao Anbang asked rhetorically.
"I don't know??, could it be? Wang Gensheng shook his head uncertainly.
¡°They were all slaughtered by the fierce and cruel Russians. From the elderly in their 70s and 80s to the infants, there were thousands of Chinese people, no one was spared!
At that time, they forcibly arrested and drove the Chinese aboriginal people into the Heilongjiang River. Regardless of whether they were men, women, old or young, anyone who turned back was immediately attacked with axes. Some mothers begged and threw their children on the shore, hoping that the Russians would He was able to let his child live, but in exchange, her child was picked up with a bayonet and cut into pieces in front of her. "
After saying this, Qiao Anbang looked at Wang Gensheng, whose eyes were red and his fists were clenched, and said: "What I said is just the tip of the iceberg. Do you think the Russians should be killed?"
"Blood debts must be paid with blood. Chief, I have a request from my humble position. I want to go to Hailan Pao to personally direct this debt collection operation." Wang Gensheng said through gritted teeth with red eyes.
"Yes, I agree." Qiao Anbang nodded without thinking, and then said with deep meaning: "Gensheng, after the war, I plan to immigrate 300,000 people from the Northeast to Hailanpao. I don't want my compatriots to live with the old people in the future. Maozi lives together."
"Please rest assured, sir, I understand that from today on, Hailanpao will only belong to China and our Chinese territory." Wang Gensheng saluted, then turned and left.
After Wang Gensheng left, Qiao Anbang called Communications Chief Yali and ordered: "Immediately order the 7th and 8th Army to divide into two groups to reinforce the southern and northern assault groups of our army, and at the same time order the special operations division to immediately airborne Bell. Add Lake, cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway, and block the Russians¡¯ retreat.¡±
"Yes!" Yali stood at attention and executed without hesitation, then turned around and left as ordered.
On March 7, within two days, Qiao's army had completely recovered a large area of ??Wusu Yalitai and the Outer Xing'an Mountains. Seven army groups with more than 500,000 troops were divided into several lines, with tanks and armored units as the forerunners, and marched along Siberia. The large railway launched a continuous pursuit towards Lake Baiga.
On the same day, Qiao Anbang sent a telegram to Li Yifeng, commander-in-chief of the North Korean First Army, ordering him to immediately launch an attack on Vladivostok, and dispatch two divisions of the 9th Army to North Korea to take over the defense of the First Army.
The Russian army was defeated on all fronts. After learning about it, the 50,000 Kwantung Army entrenched in Vladivostok immediately fled and retreated towards Sakhalin Island.
Li Yifeng commanded three reorganized divisions and an independent armored division of the First Army. More than 80,000 people engaged in a fierce battle with the 50,000 Russian troops deployed in the direction of Vladivostok.
Both sides had no air force support, and the fierce battle was very fierce at the beginning. However, as the battle progressed, the advantages of the First Army's troops and equipment, especially the advantages of armored vehicles and tanks, gradually became apparent.
