    Chapter 158

    On August 31st, broadcasts across the country kept repeating a message. At four o'clock in the afternoon, President Fang Jianxiong delivered an important speech in Congress, and the entire broadcast would be broadcast live.  Under normal circumstances, the radio broadcasts live broadcasts of congressional meetings, and people who are not very interested in politics will not listen to them.  But Fang Jianxiong's speech in Congress is different. In the hearts of the general public, this is the emperor in the past. If you can hear the emperor's speech, you can't miss it.

    Before four o'clock, the square on Nanjing Road in Shanghai was already full of people standing in front of the broadcast. Today's broadcast was very unusual. The national anthem and military anthem were constantly being played.  Repeated over and over again.  At four o'clock sharp, the lively square suddenly became very quiet. Everyone looked up at the radio, waiting for the voice that would excite the Chinese people every time it appeared.

    "Dear Mr. Speaker, distinguished members of Congress, and citizens of the country, good afternoon. Today I stand in this solemn place to announce an important message to all members of Congress and all citizens. At exactly five o'clock this morning,  Our neighbor, the Soviet Union, brazenly launched a surprise attack on our country. The current confirmed news is that the enemy dispatched at least 4,000 aircraft, 10,000 artillery pieces, 2,000 tanks, and 1.5 million troops. In one day  During the fierce battle, our army was suddenly attacked and suffered heavy casualties. It lost more than 600 aircraft, more than 1,000 artillery pieces, and the casualties were estimated to be 100,000 according to incomplete statistics.

    At this moment, our soldiers are still fighting tenaciously in the blood and fire. The Central Asian Front Army encountered three times the enemy's fierce attack, but they did not give up, they are still fighting.  Although our army suffered heavy casualties, the enemy's casualties were definitely no less than ours.

    At this moment, I solemnly make a request to Congress.  Allow me, on behalf of the Republic of China, to declare war on the evil Soviet regime, and please allow me to issue an order for the country to enter a state of war.  Regarding the attack from the Soviet Union, I want to solemnly tell the people across the country that the war was started by the Soviet Union.  But when it stops, it's up to us.  "

    President Fang Da's steady and powerful voice is echoing across the country: "Over the past five thousand years, the Chinese nation has experienced countless disasters, but it still stands among the nations of the world. In the past, Chinese civilization could be passed down for five thousand years without disappearing from history.  In the long river of history, the Chinese nation will continue to be glorious in the future. I firmly believe that our soldiers will be able to defeat the most tenacious and ferocious enemies in history. Cleanly and thoroughly eliminate them all. Victory will definitely belong to the great National Defense Force, and victory will definitely be  Belongs to the Chinese people, and Chinese civilization will be immortal! Long live the Chinese nation!"

    The old man is calling!  If this were the Qing Dynasty and Beiyang in the past, ordinary people would not care about this at all.  But China is different now. After more than 20 years of compulsory education, nationalism and nationalism are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

    A reporting reporter stopped a young man who was leaving the square.  He asked: "Young man, the old man is calling, what do you want to say?" The young man's face was still green, but he answered with unusual judgment: "Of course I'm going to fight back. I can't ignore the fact that I don't fight back when I'm beaten."  Pick up that man. Tomorrow I will enlist in the army and go to the front line. Beat the old man."

    The reporter quickly stopped another middle-aged man and asked the same question.  The middle-aged man who was hurriedly glanced at the reporter suspiciously, and finally answered him seriously: "You shouldn't ask this question, what kind of life did ordinary people live in the past? How did you live in the days when foreigners were riding on our heads and shitting on us?"  I forgot, I haven't forgotten." He pointed with his hand and said loudly: "It's right here, it used to be the French Concession. There used to be a sign at the door of the courtyard saying that Chinese people and dogs are not allowed to enter. I can't go to the battlefield anymore.  But I have two sons. I sent one to serve as a soldier. To protect the country is to protect your home."

    The news that the Soviet Union invaded China shocked the world.  Lao Maozi has always been one of the few powerful countries in Europe. Germany beat the shit out of Lao Maozi in World War I, and the Chinese ** team showed a combat effectiveness no less than that of the German army in Europe.  Hence this news.  It always makes people feel that it is not acceptable. If it were replaced by China's invasion of the Soviet Union, it would be okay, right?  Now it's the other way around. The Republic of China, which had a strong army, was attacked by the Soviet Union and suffered heavy losses.  What's even more terrible is that the war between China and the Soviet Union had a major impact on the entire world structure.  In the European Britain, Churchill was jumping up and down and cursing Stalin. If you don't fight Germany, why bother provoking China?  In Germany, Hitler was ecstatic. China and the Soviet Union were at war, and the Western Front could finally feel relieved.  First concentrate on destroying Britain, and then turn around and unite with China to destroy the Soviet Union. Germany has the final say in this world.

    Roosevelt in the United States had mixed emotions. The war between China and the Soviet Union would not do any harm to the United States.  The superior geographical location allows the United States to always escape the impact of war.  The dilemma is how to choose between China and the Soviet Union.  In Roosevelt's mind, China and the United States were attacking Japan, and the United States and the Soviet Union were attacking Germany. They took advantage of the opportunity between China and the Soviet Union to contain each other and seize the opportunity to dominate the world.Border layout.  This is the pace that best serves the interests of the United States.  Now that China and the Soviet Union started fighting first, it would be unrealistic to expect the Soviet Union to start a war with Germany, unless Hitler got mad and took the initiative to fight the Soviet Union.

    When China and the Soviet Union went to war, the Japanese military immediately went crazy!  The opportunity you have been waiting for finally comes, go south!  Go south!  The time has come to harvest the western ghost colony.  In the North Korean garrison headquarters, cheers rang out. While everyone was cheering, only Ai Kawada, the head of the operations section of the headquarters staff, quietly continued the work at hand.

    With a bang, the door was pushed open. North Korean garrison chief of staff Ishihara Wanji looked excitedly at Wu Wei, who looked calm: "Kawada-kun, how can you still be so calm? Everything is as you expected!"

    "Ishihara-kun, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the empire, but it is also a huge adventure. Going south is just a gamble that has to be made. I don't think there is anything to be happy about." Wu Wei lowered his head after saying that.  , continue his work.  Ishihara's face darkened: "How could I not know? When the main force of our army began to move south, our entire flank and rear were exposed to China. The two countries are really too close. While moving south, we have to defend the Far East.  and North Korea. To be honest, I'm really worried about China's sudden rebellion. They have already declared war on the Soviet Union and started general mobilization in less than three months. China will be able to form two hundred new army divisions in just half a year. Their strength  It can be expanded to 600 to 8 million, with abundant human resources and a complete industrial system, and such a war machine can be activated. It is really terrifying."

    "Now we can only hope that the domestic staff will not be deceived by the illusion that China has suffered heavy losses. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will do its best to make China believe that we will not cooperate with the Soviet Union to attack the Far East." Kawada Ai said this  , a staff officer rushed in at the door and said: "Section Chief, there is a telegram from the Military Department, asking you to leave for home immediately. Report directly to General Nagata of the Army Department. Chief of Staff Ishihara, there is also a telegram for you, also asking you to return home."

    Among the North Korean garrison, if you want to say who has the most popularity among the generals, it is Kawada Ai.  There is no young man in the headquarters who has not drank Kawada Ai's wine.  Everyone is willing to tell Wu Wei if they have anything to say.  On the contrary, it was Ishihara Wanji, the chief of staff, and the people below him were not very close to him.

    After signing the telegram, Wu Wei immediately packed his luggage, took the rattan box and got on the train and rushed to the coastline. Naturally, the one who passed through was his confidant Ishihara Wanji.  On the train, Kawada looked to the west and concentrated for a long time.  He whispered: "I really want to see how the armies of these two countries are fighting."

    "Yes, the Germans are sweeping across Europe with new tactics. It is said that the Chinese military was involved in researching these tactics. The Germans call it Blitzkrieg!"

    ?? Bardikorgan, the 135th Division Headquarters, the division commander is Liao Yaoxiang, a rising star in the National Defense Forces. He was sent to an infantry as the division commander. It was a newly formed infantry division, and it was put into the war only half a year after its formation.  It can be said that this is a very unlucky rhythm, but in Liao Yaoxiang's eyes.  I couldn't see any dejection, but instead looked excited.

    Thirty-six hours have passed since the war. Just as the Soviet Chief of General Staff Zhukov worried, the process of the war is not going smoothly.  None of the most important supporting points in several battles have been captured so far.  Especially the most important Baldi Kurgan.  The 300,000 Soviet troops attacked for a day and a half, firing hundreds of thousands of artillery shells, but they still failed to break through the Chinese Army's defense line.  Without breaking through the defense line, the Soviet mechanized troops would be unable to carry out rapid assaults. The so-called large-depth strategy was empty talk.

    "Chief of Staff, how is Fang Rui doing? Are you complaining?"

    "No, so far, Fang Rui has not asked for reinforcements. The Soviet army has been attacking for a day and a half, and fought in the middle of the night last night, and Fang Rui fought them back. However, the casualties are not small. All his reserves have been  Throw it in."

    "Send him a company from the reserve team and tell him that the order given to us from above is to hold on for five days, and it has only been a day and a half. If there is any trap, I will shoot him."

    Fang Rui, with a face full of gunfire, looked out from the observation hole of the headquarters to see the situation. His regiment's defense line was less than two kilometers, and a large number of strong machine gun firepower points had been built.  Soviet artillery destroyed roughly one-third of the vital points and launched twenty-two attacks one after another, two of which were night battles.  With strong fortifications, Fang Rui's regiment could still hold on even though it suffered more than half of its casualties.  When he was hesitating whether to ask the division commander for the reserve team, Fang Rui heard the phone ring. The chief of staff answered the call, and then said with a face of joy: "Commander, good news, the division commander has sent us a company of reinforcements."

    "The teacher is so stingy that he only sent a company. Why should we have a battalion?" Fang Rui muttered, and then he heard Liao Yaoxiang scolding his mother on the phone: "Fang Rui, I'm warning you, don't scold me behind my back. No, I won't.  Send you more aid??, now this battle has just begun. Commander Zhang of the Army Group asked us to hold on for five days. I must use every soldier carefully.  Let me tell you another piece of good news. The front army has transported two infantry divisions from Dihua to reinforce Bardikorgan.  "

    There was a bang, and the headquarters trembled slightly. Fang Rui shouted at the top of his lungs: "Master, Lao Maozi has started shelling again."

    "It's weird, Lao Maozi's shelling time is getting shorter each time. Last time, the bombardment lasted for half an hour, but this time it stopped in ten minutes." Fang Rui got out of the dull command post and walked along the traffic trench.  Run forward.  The air outside was filled with a strong pungent smell of gunpowder, and craters left by 122 howitzers could be seen constantly on the road.

    "Lao Maozi's infantry are coming up, and they are all ready to fight." The commander of the first battalion shouted hoarsely, and his voice was hoarse.  After more than ten hours of fighting, the officers and soldiers on the position suffered heavy losses, and Lao Maozi's artillery fire was very fierce.

    "Old Liu, how are you doing here?" Fang Rui appeared suddenly. Liu Dayou was startled. When he saw who it was, he complained: "Commander, what are you doing here? Go back to your command position.  go."

    "There are less than 1,500 people in the entire position now. Do you think it is still necessary for me to stay in the headquarters?"

    "Tuanzuo, be careful yourself. I won't take care of you in a fight." "Fuck you, you didn't see it when I was playing with my life. More than a hundred old men surrendered their guns and asked me to  It¡¯s too late.¡±

    The Soviet army advanced very quickly. Their starting position was in a trench 500 meters away. They started trotting as soon as they came out.  The first battalion's mortars soon started firing, and the 82-caliber mortars were hitting like rain.  The regiment's 120 mortar remained silent. Fang Rui stayed at the 1st Battalion's position for a while, then rushed to the machine gun battalion's position.

    Rushing into the headquarters of the machine gun battalion like a whirlwind, Fang Rui glared and cursed: "Why don't you fire to suppress Maozi's infantry?"

    "The regiment is here, and we only have half the base of shells. I want to save them for critical moments. Maozi's artillery fire suppressed it very fiercely, and the shells behind have been intermittent. The fortifications here are well repaired, but there are no 120 shells stored in the past.  Shooting shells.¡±

    Fang Rui breathed a sigh of relief and immediately picked up the phone. Just as he was about to report the matter, a young man wearing local clothes rushed in from the door and shouted: "The shells are here."

    Fang Rui looked up and saw dozens of locals bending down and walking inside carrying cannonballs.  Compared with the high-pressure rule of the Soviet army in Central Asia, the more relaxed political and social environment of the Wehrmacht is probably the reason why it has won the support of local people.

    "Young man, why are you helping us carry the artillery shells?" Fang Rui came out and asked with a smile. The young man looked at him in fear and said, "Lao Maozi's grain collection team killed many people in the village, and we want revenge."

    The sound of machine gunfire at the forward position was like roasting beans. Fang Rui was distracted from his thoughts. When he saw that the Maozi soldiers on the position were covered with darkness, he quickly said to the machine gun battalion: "Block Maozi's follow-up!"
