At the moment, Xu Rui told Savushkin and Cherev a lot of guerrilla warfare theories and terminology, which made the two senior Soviet generals stunned, because they had never systematically studied guerrilla warfare. In their impression,
, Guerrilla warfare is an atypical war that cannot be put on the stage, but when Xu Rui puts it like this, it seems quite high-minded?
Cherev said: "Comrade Xu Rui, can guerrilla warfare really have such good results?"
"That's not the case," Xu Rui said, "I can responsibly tell you two that if we don't carry out guerrilla warfare, then Primorsky Krai will fall without any suspense. But if we carry out extensive guerrilla warfare, I dare not tell you.
We are sure, but at least we can still have a 70% to 80% certainty!”
Savushkin and Cherev looked at each other, and they were almost certain.
In fact, Savushkin had discussed with Cherev more than once the future and destiny of the Far Eastern Front and Primorsky Krai, and the conclusion of each discussion was that Primorsky Krai would definitely fall, and the Far Eastern Front would be the last remaining
The 50,000 troops will be annihilated by the Japanese army without any suspense. Of course, they can also choose to surrender!
So Xu Rui said that he was 60 to 70% sure of holding Primorsky Krai, which was enough to surprise the two of them.
Of course, Savushkin and Cherev would not believe Xu Rui so easily. In any case, this is just Xu Rui's family statement. As for the final result, one must have carried out guerrilla warfare to know, but in any case
, if guerrilla warfare is not carried out, Primorsky Krai will definitely fall, but if guerrilla warfare is carried out, there may be a last glimmer of hope!
Because of this, Savushkin and Cherev were willing to give it a try. What if guerrilla warfare was really as good as Xu Rui said?
From the expressions of Savushkin and Cherev, Xu Rui could tell that they were obviously attracted to each other.
At that moment, Xu Rui revealed his plan and revealed the final intention of his trip. He said in a deep voice, "However, there is one more core tenet of guerrilla warfare!"
"Sixteen words of purpose?" Cherev asked, "Which sixteen words?"
Xu Rui said happily: "If you save the land and lose the people, you will lose both the people and the land; if you save the people and lose the land, you will save the people and the land!"
After listening to Cherev's translation, Savushkin was obviously a little difficult to understand, because the Soviets obviously did not respect such a combat concept. In Leningrad, Moscow and Stalingrad, the Soviet Red Army faced the German army
They refused to give in any of their attacks, and would rather force a large number of strong men into the city to die than fight to the death with the Germans.
It can only be said that the Soviet army was able to persist until the end entirely because the Soviet Union had sufficient population and resources!
In a country with a smaller population, the German army would have destroyed the country long ago with Stalin's methods!
Faced with Savushkin's doubts, Xu Rui said: "Comrade Savushkin, I must remind you that Primorsky Krai has now become an enclave of the Soviet Union. Now you not only cannot get military supplies from the hinterland of the Soviet Union, but also
Without the replacement of the population in the hinterland of the Soviet Union, how long do you think the 50,000 Soviet troops and more than 500,000 people in Primorsky Krai can last? If the war starts now, how long can it last? Two years? One year? Or six months?
?”
Cherev immediately whispered a few words to Savushkin in Russian.
Xu Rui didn't understand Russian, but he could probably guess what Cherev said to Savushkin.
Sure enough, after listening to Cherev's advice, Savushkin's attitude softened and said: "Okay, okay, I admit that what you said about the sixteen-character purpose of guerrilla warfare is completely correct! But I
What I want to point out is that cities such as Kirovsky, Chkalovskoye, and Ussuriysk must not give up easily!"
"Of course you can't give up easily." Xu Rui said, "But you will definitely give up in the end."
"No, no, we must not give up." Savushkin shook his head repeatedly and said, "If we give up these cities, our Far Eastern Front Army may not be able to hold on for even three months, because our industries are all distributed in these cities, and we will lose
If we conquer the city, we will lose all the factories. If there are no factories to provide weapons and ammunition, what else can we do to fight the Japanese army?"
Xu Rui took advantage of the situation and said: "Why not move the factory? You can move the factory to a safer place."
"Move the factory to a safer place?" Savushkin was confused, "Is there a safer place?"
"Of course!" Xu Rui pointed at the map and said, "Comrade Savushkin and Comrade Cherev, you see, I plan to build a large fortress based on Hunchun Ridge. All the dozen hills of Hunchun Ridge will be built.
It has become a fortress like Wujiashan. Relying on these dozen strong fortresses, it is enough to resist the Japanese attack from the land direction!"
After a pause, Xu Rui continued: "If the main gun of a Frunze-class battleship can be removed from the Voroshilov Fortress and a coastal defense fortress is built on Ross Island, then the entire Hunchunling Fortress will be even more impregnable.
Got it!"
Savushkin and Cherev both nodded subconsciously when they heard this, because from a military point of view, Xu Rui's statement is completely tenable. If it is really possible to build more than a dozen hills in Hunchun Ridge,
With a military fortress like the Wujiashan Fortress, and a coastal defense fortress built on Ross Island, this is really a base that is easy to defend but difficult to attack!
The key is that the defense front of this military base is less than 100 kilometers, which is very important!
Because the narrower the frontal width, the fewer troops the Japanese army can deploy and the less pressure it will have!
At that moment, Savushkin said: "Comrade Xu Rui, do you mean to move all the factories to Hasansky County?"
Xu Rui said: "To be precise, all the factories will be moved to the foot of the eastern foot of Hunchun Ridge. All newly built factories, without exception, will be hidden in the heart of Hunchun Ridge! Otherwise, after the war between Japan and the Soviet Union resumes in the future, these
It will be difficult for precious factories to survive the indiscriminate bombing by Japanese aviation!"
"Hide the factory in the heart of the mountain?" Cherev's eyes immediately lit up and he said, "This is a good idea! I think not only the factories in Xingkai Lake District need to be moved, but also the factory in Vladivostok is best moved.
, moved all the factories to the heart of the mountains in Hunchunling, so that they could be protected from Japanese aviation bombing."
"I think this is feasible." Xu Rui tried his best to act calmly, but he was already overjoyed.
Savushkin was still hesitant and frowned: "This is a huge project. Let's not talk about various building materials. The key is the design and construction of the project, which requires specialized technical talents, but we don't have them! We in Primorsky Krai
There are only some basic engineers, but there are no senior engineers who can preside over the design of such a huge project!"
"I do!" Xu Rui said happily, "What a coincidence, I happen to have a senior engineer!"
Savushkin was still hesitant. He didn't know why. He always had unspeakable worries. Moving the factory in Primorsky Krai from Xingkai Lake District to the eastern foot of Hunchun Mountains felt like a chicken coop.
Moving to the weasel's den is always so unsettling. Does Xu Rui have any intentions?
Cherev persuaded Savushkin: "Comrade Savushkin, I think what Xu Rui said is reasonable. If Japan really goes to war with the Soviet Union again, then the air defense force of the Primorsky Territory will be able to resist it no matter what."
It cannot withstand the indiscriminate bombing by Japanese aviation, so it is necessary to relocate the factory in advance."
Savushkin did not express his position immediately. He stared at Xu Rui and asked: "Comrade Xu Rui, can you really build an impregnable large-scale fortress in Hunchunling?"
Xu Rui asked directly: "Comrade Savushkin, what are you worried about?"
Savushkin said solemnly: "As far as I know, Yamashita Fengwen has mobilized the elite forces of more than four divisions and is launching an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Wujiashan Fortress guarded by your new regiment. Frankly speaking, for your new regiment,
I am skeptical about whether we can finally hold the Wujiashan Fortress, so where do you get the confidence to build an impregnable fortress in Hunchunling?"
"I knew you would say this!" Xu Rui chuckled and said, "Comrade Savushkin, and Comrade Cherev, I wonder if you have heard of an idiom in China, Ming Xiu Plank Road
, secretly cross Chencang!"
"Build the plank road in the open and cross the Chencang secretly?" Savushkin was naturally confused after hearing the translation.
Cherev said: "Comrade Xu Rui, this idiom refers to the story of Liu Bang, the founder of Han Dynasty, coming out of Hanzhong, right?"
"That's right!" Xu Rui nodded and said, "With the plan of building a plank road in the open and secretly crossing Chencang presented by Han Xin, we successfully deceived Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and easily attacked Qinchuan, eight hundred miles away from Guanzhong. This also helped
Later, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu competed in the world and laid a solid material and political foundation!"
After listening to Cherev's explanation, Savushkin barely understood.
But Savushkin immediately said: "But what does this have to do with the fortress in Hunchunling?"
"Of course it does matter!" Xu Rui said, "Hunchun Ridge is the natural border dividing line between China and the Soviet Union. The Japanese army's large-scale invasion of Wujiashan Fortress also posed a major security threat to the Soviet Union's border at the eastern foot of Hunchun Ridge. The Zhang Gufeng Incident that year did you
Forgot? Therefore, the Soviet army can use this as an excuse to build fortifications at the eastern foot of Hunchun Ridge!"
Savushkin said in astonishment: "We have been working on it for a long time, but you want us to repair this fortification?"
"Of course not." Xu Rui shook his head and said, "I just used the name of your Soviet army. Our new regiment will be responsible for all the affairs, including recruiting and organizing civilians!"
Savushkin was finally convinced and said: "Okay, as long as Comrade Stalin agrees to form a joint command, we will start building the Hunchun collar fortifications and move all the factories to the Hunchun Ridge fortress!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a communications staff officer hurried in holding a folder.
