A few hours later, Xu Rui returned to Wujiashan Fortress.
"What did you say? The Soviet Union actually agreed?!" Before Xu Rui could finish speaking, Wang Husheng shouted in surprise, "The Soviet Union really agreed to assist us with a complete set of factories?"
"It's not aid." Xu Rui shook his head and added, "It's just relocating the factory directly to the east foot of Hunchun Ridge!"
"Is it just a factory relocation?" When Wang Husheng heard this, he immediately dropped like a deflated rubber ball and said again, "My happiness was in vain." After a pause, he continued, "Old Xu, co-author
Nothing was agreed during this trip to Vladivostok, so your trip was in vain. It turns out that you, Mr. Xu, have also been frustrated at times."
"Eating a flat stomach?" Xu Rui said in amusement, "When have I ever eaten a flat stomach?"
"If you keep talking tough, won't you be defeated this time?" Wang Husheng snorted, "Before a certain person left for Vladivostok, he swore to me that he would be able to convince the Soviets to get the entire factory back, but
In the end, they just asked the Soviets to move the factory to the east foot of Hunchun Mountains."
Xu Rui smiled and said: "As long as the factory moves to the east foot of Hunchun Ridge, it will not be a new piece of fat for us."
Wang Husheng said: "Even if the fat reaches your mouth, the key is, Lao Xu, do you dare to put your mouth down? Don't be so stiff."
"Biao Yakou?" Xu Rui chuckled and continued, "Old Wang, believe it or not, I can openly order the Soviet factory that has been relocated to the east foot of Hunchun Ridge to supply the weapons, equipment and ammunition they produce to the new
A group? If I ask them to provide anti-aircraft machine guns, they will never dare to provide Mosin Nagant."
"Just blow," Wang Husheng said with a snort, "Blow hard, as if you are the commander of the Soviet Far East Front."
"It is true that I am not the commander of the Soviet Far Eastern Front." Xu Rui chuckled and added, "However, even the commander of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, Major General Savushkin, has to listen to me!"
Wang Husheng said: "Ah, are you blowing more and more vigorously? Savushkin also has to listen to you?"
Xu Rui stopped hiding, straightened his face, and said to Wang Husheng: "Old Wang, I won't tease you anymore. Now I solemnly tell you good news. Stalin has agreed to form a joint command in the Far East to unify
Command the Soviet Far Eastern Front Army and the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, which is our new regiment!"
"What did you say?" Wang Husheng immediately shouted, "Joint command?"
"Shh." Xu Rui immediately made a gesture of silence, and then lowered his voice and said, "Old Wang, what are you shouting about? This telegram is top secret, at least it cannot be shown publicly before the Japanese attack the Primorsky Krai of the Soviet Union! Otherwise, there will be
It may cause the Japanese army to attack the Primorsky Territory earlier, which will seriously affect our progress in building the Hunchunling Fortress!"
Wang Husheng immediately grunted and swallowed the second half of the yell back into his stomach.
After several minutes, Wang Husheng finally regained his composure and asked: "Old Xu, are you telling the truth? Comrade Stalin really agreed to form a joint command in the Far East?"
"This is still false." Xu Rui said, "Of course it is true."
"Great!" Wang Husheng said, "Now our new group has hope!"
When Xu Rui heard this, he immediately became unhappy and snorted: "Old Wang, what do you mean? If we don't form a joint command, our new regiment will have no hope?"
"Uh, no, that's not what I meant." Wang Husheng quickly explained, "What I mean is that our new regiment finally no longer has to fight alone, and we finally have allies!"
After a pause, Wang Husheng suddenly came to his senses and frowned and said: "Hey, that's not right. Even if a joint command headquarters is formed, the strength of the Soviet Far East Army is far greater than that of our new regiment, so we can only be in a subordinate position. By then
The weapons, ammunition and supplies that can be distributed are probably very few."
"Subordinate status?" Xu Rui snorted, "Old Wang, you are worrying too much. The status of both parties is equal."
"Equal status?" Wang Husheng said, "Old Xu, do you think the status of a regiment and a front army can be equal?"
"Why not?" Xu Rui said, "Although our new regiment only has one regiment, it can have 50,000 or even 100,000 troops in less than two years! However, the Soviet Far East Front Army will only become smaller and smaller.
Now there are 50,000 people, but in two years there may be only 20,000 or even less left!"
After a pause, Xu Rui added: "So, the relationship between the two parties may really have a master-slave relationship by then, but the subordinate position can only be the Soviet army, not our new regiment!"
"Just brag." Wang Husheng shook his head and laughed.
But let Xu Rui say this, Wang Husheng also feels that in the joint command to be formed, the new regiment can indeed be equal to the Soviet Far East Front, because the two main bodies of the joint mentioned by Stalin in the telegram, one
One is the Soviet Far East Front, and the other is the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.
Now the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Forces only has the New Regiment, so the New Regiment can completely represent the Anti-Japanese Alliance!
After a pause, Wang Husheng said again: "By the way, Lao Xu, what is your position in this joint command?"
When Xu Rui heard this, his face immediately fell and he said: "What kind of position can it be? I am just a regiment commander now, and the official military rank issued by the National Government is just an army major. How do you expect Stalin to make me, a major, the commander-in-chief?"
Command? If he can serve as a chief of staff, it’s already pretty good.”
Seeing Xu Rui's grimace, Wang Husheng comforted him and said: "Old Xu, don't be too discouraged. Based on your outstanding performance in the Soviet-Finnish War, no matter who Stalin sends as the commander-in-chief of the Joint Command
, even if I send your old partner Comrade Timoshenko to the Far East, I'm afraid I will have to obey your orders in the end."
"That's right!" Xu Rui said cheerfully, "This Far East Joint Command is tailor-made for me!"
"Ahaha." Wang Husheng said with a smile, "I just said you were fat, and you really got out of breath, and you still have shame."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them laughed at each other.
…
Hunchun County, headquarters of the Japanese Seventh Army.
After evacuating their children from Hunchunling, the Japanese had a rare few quiet days.
On this day, Fengwen Shanxia got up early as usual and was studying the map in the war room.
Asaburo Kobayashi accompanied Yamashita Fengwen. From time to time, he handed Yamashita Fengwen compasses, angles and other tools while casually saying: "Your Excellency, Commander, the military operation to suppress the Wujiashan Fortress has been temporarily suspended. Now each division
If the regiment is idle, it is idle, so why not continue to implement the strategy of removing salary from the bottom of the cauldron?"
Kobayashi Asaburo was talking about forcibly moving the people in Hunchun County, as well as the Chinese people in Tumen, Yanji, and Wangqing counties, and even the Korean people in Luoxian and Luojin, to the Far East for settlement. This would enrich the Far East frontier.
, secondly, it can also create a no-man's land around the new group, effectively curbing the growth of the new group.
Yamashita Fengwen frowned slightly, put down the square in his hand, and said: "Mr. Xiao Lin, do you think it is possible to move the people of Hunchun County and even Tumen, Yanji, and Wangqing counties to the Far East without the obstruction of the New Regiment?"
Asaburo Kobayashi pondered and said: "When we relocated the people before, only one division of troops was invested. Due to the serious shortage of troops, we were attacked by the New Regiment. Not only did the people of sixteen towns and villages surrender to the New Regiment,
The 38th Division that participated in the operation suffered heavy casualties! But..."
After a pause, Asaburo Kobayashi continued: "But now, there are four main divisions stationed in Hunchun County, and their strength is already ten times that of the new regiment. At this time, Hunchun County and even Tumen, Yanji, Wangqing, etc. will be relocated.
Even if the new group wants to obstruct the people of the county, they are probably powerless, right?"
"Xiao Lin, you think the problem is too simple." Yamashita Fengwen waved his hand and said, "It is meaningless if you just relocate the people in Hunchun County, but if you want to move the surrounding Tumen, Yanji, Wangqing
All the people in Luoxian, Luojin and other counties have been relocated, but this is a huge project!"
After a pause, Yamashita Fengwen continued: "Not only is the force required to be used very large, but it also lasts a long time. In the process, it is easy to be attacked by a new group! Especially the Wolf Fang troops under Xu Rui will be involved.
The main divisions in the operation caused immeasurable heavy casualties!"
Kobayashi Asaburo immediately stopped saying anything, because what Yamashita Fengfumi said was all true.
However, after a moment of silence, a fierce light suddenly flashed across the depths of Kobayashi Asaburo's eyes, and he said with a ferocious face: "Your Excellency, Commander, if it doesn't work, then implement the cruel three-light policy! Move a hundred people around the Wujiashan Fortress
Killing a kilometer-wide area into a no-man’s land will have the same effect!”
There was also a fierce light in Yamashita Fengwen's eyes. He used the three-light policy to turn a hundred kilometers around the Wujiashan Fortress into a no-man's land. The effect was indeed similar, and it could also effectively curb the growth of the New Regiment, because the New Regiment
If the regiment cannot get personnel from the surrounding areas, it will become smaller and weaker as it fights.
But soon, the fierce light in Yamashita Fengwen's eyes dimmed.
Shaking his head, Yamashita Fengwen said: "Xiao Lin, it's not time yet!"
After a pause, Yamashita Fengwen continued: "Xiaolin-kun, don't forget Ishihara-kun's mistakes."
Asaburo Kobayashi was immediately frightened when he heard this. Ishihara Wanji, because he had no regard for the people of the three eastern provinces, unscrupulously captured people around Fengtian and used them as hostages. As a result, a large-scale rebellion was triggered throughout the three eastern provinces. If it hadn't been for the Far East
The front army rushed back to suppress it. I'm afraid that the three eastern provinces are already under Xu Rui's rule!
Now that this large-scale rebellion has just subsided, it is really inappropriate to implement the three-guang policy at this time. If a large-scale rebellion in the Northeast is triggered again, it will be worth the loss!
This is what the ancients called a rat-throwing weapon.
