Volume Three, Cannons, Bombing His Mother, Chapter 455, Unexplainable

China suddenly launched an attack on the Soviet Union, and in one day it pushed more than 200 kilometers into the Soviet Union, annihilated and captured more than 100,000 Soviet Red Army, occupied Zarbukra, Kizilagash, Irkutsk and other important cities. Such great results made the whole world stunned, especially the Japanese side, who had always hoped that the Sino-Soviet War would break out as soon as possible. When they learned that the war finally began, the Japanese were so excited that they danced, but when they heard the results of the Chinese on the first day, the Japanese looked at each other and couldn't believe their ears.

Russia has entered the ranks of world powers since the era of Peter the Great, especially when Napoleon's army swept across Europe was defeated in the French-Russian War, which led to the collapse of the French Empire, Russia became an important member of the great powers.

Although Japan spent the whole country to win this victory, from the actual perspective, Russia's failure in this war was subject to many objective factors, which is also the main reason why the Japanese finally stopped when they see the good.

In the European War, Britain and France almost put all their efforts to block the attack of the Allies led by Germany and paid a heavy price. But similarly, facing the attacks of the Allies in the east and southeast, Tsarist Russia was not defeated, and it also dragged down a large number of troops from the Allies. This was also one of the reasons why the Allies failed to win the war in a short time and were finally dragged down, leading to the failure of the war.

The great powers of Britain, France, Germany and other countries have always looked down on Russia, believing that the Russians are rude, aggressive, and have no aristocratic temperament. They are typical country bumpkins and paupers, but no one dares to truly underestimate Russia in terms of war potential. You should know that Russia has a vast territory, a harsh climate and a huge population base, which are important factors that affect the outcome of the war. Otherwise, the German team, which is stronger than the world's first army, would have tried their best and failed to defeat Tsarist Russia, thus losing the opportunity to win the European war.

After the outbreak of the revolution in Russia, Bolshevikism made the Soviet Red Army's combat effectiveness stronger than the previous Tsarist Russian army. Although the Far East government's army received a large number of weapons and materials support, and was far beyond the old army in training, even in this way, the Far East government was still at a disadvantage in the Russian civil war, and the two sides barely formed a stalemate. According to the research conclusions of Western military strategists, although the Soviet Red Army lacked equipment and training, because of the spiritual support of Bolshevikism, such an army was already close to the combat effectiveness of the world-class army. If we want to defeat this army armed with spirit, we must invest more powerful forces to fully suppress the possibility of victory.

Now, all the results of subversion are in front of the world. A country like China, an old and weak, has achieved such great results in one day. More than 100,000 troops placed on the Sino-Soviet border of Moscow were almost wiped out in just a few dozen hours. This is something that no one could have thought of before the war began. Some even doubted whether this was Chinese nonsense and exaggerated the results of the battle.

When newsmen from all walks of life expressed doubts and speculations, the various agencies were shocked and fell into deep thought. Unlike ordinary people in the press, governments and military agencies of various countries felt that this kind of result was unlikely to be fabricated by the Chinese. You should know that it is not too difficult to prove the result, and the Chinese government does not need to tell such a lie in front of the world.

In recent years, China's development has been obvious to all countries around the world. The previous local wars between China and Japan made the great powers look at the Chinese National Defense Forces with admiration, but this is only aimed at the Qing army before. For them, China's military development path is still very long. Now the Chinese team is at most not far from the world's second-rate Japan, and even in some aspects (especially the navy) is not as good as Japan. Not to mention comparing with the great powers. But this time, the Chinese created a miracle that even the great powers did not create in the European war, which made them shocked and couldn't help but think deeply. How did the Chinese achieve such a great record in such a short time? In order to understand this mystery, Britain, France, the United States and other parties conveyed their request to send a military observation team to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the newly established League of Nations, and Japan was not willing to fall behind. They also submitted such an application.

The Chinese National Defense Forces won the flag and caught the Soviet Union off guard. Until the third day after the war officially broke out, the Soviet government had not fully reacted. In the Northwest China Legion with armored troops as its vanguard, the two major army groups of the Mongolian Legion rushed in and advanced more than 300 kilometers in one breath. It was not until the area of ​​Karaganda and Krasnoyarques encountered temporary organizations and the Soviet Red Army, which reinforced from the rear, relied on the terrain, that the speed of the attack was slowed down.

It’s not that the Chinese National Defense Force cannot break through the opponent’s defense, or lacks offensive means. According to the General Staff’s judgment on the current situation, it is not too difficult to defeat the enemy of Karaganda and Krasnoyarques. The key is to advance all the way, and the Chinese National Defense Force’s front line was stretched too long at once, and some minor problems arose in logistics supply. At the same time, as the troops advance, the construction of temporary airports in the air force also takes some time. In this case, blindly attacking is not the best choice. Moreover, although the troops are highly morale, they are also exhausted. In addition, the large number of Soviet Red Army officers and soldiers captured also need to be escorted to the rear for disposal. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the General Staff appropriately slowed down the speed of the march and accumulated strength to launch the next attack.

This adjustment of the General Staff was recognized by Fang Zida because Fang Zida was not complacent or hot-headed in the face of the current huge victory. Although the current results are brilliant, Fang Zida clearly understands how great the war potential of the Soviet Union is. Once Moscow reacts, the Chinese National Defense Forces will face one hard battle after another. Fang Zida does not want him to make mistakes like the bearded man in history, which will lead to the final failure after the fierce victory.

The training and equipment of the Chinese National Defense Forces far exceeded that of the Soviet Red Army. What has a more advantage is that the Chinese also have armored troops and air force. These two troops can be said to be the aces in Fang Zida's hands. Similarly, although these two aces are powerful and cannot be competed by the Soviet Red Army, the logistics supplies they need are far more than ordinary troops. Without guaranteeing logistics, Fang Zida can predict what the final result will be. This is also the reason why he finally agreed to the adjustment plan of the General Staff, but Fang Zida also ordered the front line to make a dead order as soon as possible, and to make another move before the enemy could fully assemble to completely defeat the enemy's counterattack.

"Where is our heroic Red Army?! Where is our invincible Bolshevik spirit!"

In the Kremlin in Moscow, the short "steel" comrades roared like thunder, and the members of the Revolutionary Military Commission were all frightened and their faces were pale.

Due to the blockage of information and backward communications, and the sudden attack of the Chinese National Defense Forces, the attack speed was too fast. It was not until the evening of the second day of the war, Moscow received news that the Chinese had sent troops and annihilated more than 100,000 Red Army troops and occupied a large number of Soviet and Russian territory. When the news was quickly delivered to Stalin, Stalin was stunned at first, and then sent it. The light telegram fell on the thick carpet with the wind, and his face turned gray and pale.

That night, Stalin immediately convened all members of the Revolutionary Military Commission in Moscow to hold a military meeting in response to the formal outbreak of the Sino-Soviet War. Before the meeting had begun, another bad news was sent in. After reading it, Stalin learned that the Chinese had already arrived at the cities of Karaganda and Krasnoyarques, and he could no longer help but vent his anger.

"Can anyone tell me! Are the Chinese all with wings? Are our Red Army soldiers all corpses lying on the ground? In less than three days, they fought Karaganda and Krasnoyarques? What was going on?!"

A sharp gaze swept across everyone's face, and Stalin's eyes were full of anger. It was not too surprising for Stalin to officially start a war. After all, both sides had declared war as early as last year, but the key is how could the Chinese advance at such a fast speed? His hundreds of thousands of Red Army soldiers almost didn't even block the other side's half a step. If calculated at this speed, it would probably take less than a month for the Chinese to attack Moscow, which Stalin could not bear at all. He had to figure out what was going on.

However, the answer to him was a quiet state, and all the members of the Military Commission were as mute as they could not speak. In fact, the reason was very simple. How could they know that even Stalin didn't understand? Like Stalin, these people are now filled with fear, uneasiness and extreme doubts.

"Comrade Derrynsky!"

When Derrensky heard Stalin pointing his name, his heart sank. At the beginning of the meeting, he quietly hid behind everyone, trying to narrow his body as much as possible and did not want Stalin to notice him. Who would have thought that Stalin found him in the end.

"Comrade Stalin, I'm..." Derrensky replied bitterly.

"I'll give you two days to find out how the Chinese invaded and why our troops did not block the enemy. Two days later, I must see a detailed report. If you can't complete the mission, you won't have to see me again."

There was a cold wind in Stalin's words, and Derrensky was frightened. He understood what the last sentence was referring to, that is, if he could not complete this task, he would probably either be cleaned or put into the transformation camp. Although Derrensky was not sure to complete the task in such a short time, he could only agree in the face of the current situation.
