    Chapter 812 The Fall of Haishanwei

    Everything that happened on the Uliasutai battlefield was incredible. Not only did the two warring parties not exchange fire, but the encircling party also allowed the surrounded party to replenish all kinds of supplies. Dozens of Soviet transport planes, at first  He even dropped the supplies and flew away in fear, for fear of being hit by anti-aircraft shells.  (Baidu search,)

    Later, when I saw that the Chinese ** team had no intention of taking action, I became bolder, and my airdrop movements became more and more calm. Then, several fighter jets came to join in the fun, hovering at low altitude above the Chinese ** team's position, and they seemed to be looking for  Tang Qiuli was furious at the location of the Chinese Army's headquarters. The Soviets were shameless and typically pushed beyond their limits.

    Following the order, the anti-aircraft artillery group unceremoniously turned these fighter jets, which clearly had a purpose, into fireworks blooming in the sky. This was the most direct warning, warning the Soviets not to engage in petty tricks. The Soviets were so frightened that from then on,  More honest than a rabbit, time passed like this, and the Soviets never made new demands.

    Tang Qiuli was not in a hurry. He enjoyed his rare free time every day. When he had nothing to do, he took his guards out to hunt. The yellow sheep on the grasslands of Outer Mongolia were the best game. He would eat them every day.  Every time I went out, I gained a lot. I ate in different ways and lived a very nourishing life. The brigade commanders were very depressed when they saw that they were idle and uncomfortable.

    No one could guess what the teacher was thinking. Only Tang Qiuli knew that as the Japanese gunshots rang out in the eastern section of the Sino-Soviet border, everything in Uliasu Tai should be over, and he would get what he wanted.  The longer it takes, the more he will get. Stalin will send representatives, otherwise, he will not put so much effort here.

    Tang Qiuli was leisurely and at ease in Ulyasutai, but Stalin was troubled. The Japanese were gathering more and more troops in the Haishanwei area. The Far East was already covered with war clouds, but Stalin still did not want to fight with the Japanese in this kind of situation.  When the time comes to fight, it will come, and there is no way to avoid it. The preparations made by the Japanese for this war are solid and steady.

    In order to win this war, the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Kenkichi Ueda, organized all the first-class field divisions that could be mobilized into four corps, each with four divisions, equipped with three heavy artillery regiments and two  The field artillery brigade and a light tank brigade, with a total of more than 680 fighters and bombers, provided air cover for the attacking forces.

    No matter how much Stalin hoped that the Japanese would gather more than 400,000 troops in the Far East border area as a demonstration to show off their force, the facts did not happen according to his wishes, and the Japanese still took action before the Soviets.

    In early September, the eastern section of the Sino-Soviet border has already felt a biting chill in the morning and evening. Although the sunshine during the day is still bright and warm, everything is covered with lush trees and weeds. The water level of the rivers, lakes and rivers has been low, and everything is clear and winding.  The paths stretching through the grasslands and water network areas were still so muddy.

    At exactly four o'clock in the morning on September 10th, the sea breeze blowing from the Sea of ??Japan had not yet dispersed the hazy morning fog in the Ussuriysk area. The air was full of moist and cold water vapor. The 580,000 troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army were divided into  The Fourth Route, starting from Fuyuan, Raohe, Suifenhe, and Dongning, crossed the Sino-Soviet border and launched a full-line offensive against the Soviet troops in the Far East. The Soviet-Japanese War officially broke out.

    Ueda Kenkichi's strategic intention was very obvious. The First Army, which launched the attack from Fuyuan, was responsible for capturing Khabarovsk and cutting off the Soviet army's retreat to the interior. The Second Army went straight to Sakhalin Island, occupied the entire island, and marched into Kanji.  On the Chatka Peninsula, the Third Army captured Ussuriysk and cooperated with the Fourth Army to encircle Timoshenko's troops of the Second Soviet Far East Army. The Fourth Army's combat objective was to occupy Haishanwei Military Port and capture all warships of the Soviet Pacific Fleet.

    In the Far East, only Timoshenko's Second Army was a strong enemy of the Kwantung Army. Therefore, Ueda Kenkichi used 320,000 troops in this direction, as well as heavy equipment, artillery, tanks, and aircraft.  Tilt in this direction, as long as Timoshenko's troops can be eliminated, the Soviet resistance in the Far East will basically be broken down.

    When the war broke out, the Soviet border garrison troops belonging to the local forces of the Far East Military Region put up a tenacious resistance in the face of the incoming Japanese soldiers. However, this resistance was quickly broken down, both in terms of military strength and firepower.  , the local Soviet troops, who were all at a disadvantage, lasted less than four hours before being completely wiped out.

    By 8:00 a.m. on September 10, the Kwantung Army troops had advanced more than 60 kilometers into the Soviet territory. Khabarovsk, Gorenki, and Ussuriysk were successively captured. Only Haishanwei still had sporadic fighting.

    In order to cooperate with the army in combat, although the Japanese Navy was extremely reluctant, under Emperor Hirohito's strict order, it dispatched the Navy's 1st, 2nd Fleet and most of the 4th Fleet to blockade the Tsushima Strait and Zongshen Strait, blocking the Soviet Pacific Fleet in  In the Sea of ??Japan, let the Army come to catch turtles in a jar, but Emperor Hirohito also agreed?All captured Soviet ships were owned by the Navy.

    With such an imperial order, the enthusiasm of the navy was unprecedentedly high. The Soviet Pacific Fleet was very strong. It was the main force in Stalin's struggle with the Americans for control of the Pacific. It had two aircraft carriers, eight battleships, and cruisers.  Twelve, including twenty-one destroyers, thirty-six torpedo boats, twenty-eight submarines, and more than sixty other types of ships, with a total tonnage of more than hundreds of thousands of tons. In the eyes of the Japanese, they are all one  The big fat meat with direct flow of oil makes me greedy even in my dreams.

    In fact, the Japanese were determined to go to war with the Soviets, and the Pacific Fleet was also one of the important targets. As expected, as soon as the border battle started, the Japanese fleet fiercely pounced on the Haishan Weijun Port, and the Soviet Pacific Fleet warships had not had time to weigh anchor.  , was blocked in the port.

    It was a Sunday. As usual, most of the officers and sailors of the Soviet Pacific Fleet were on shore leave. They drank in bars until they were drunk, met lovers and wives, and were so tired that they lay on the women's bellies and couldn't get up.

    The fierce sound of gunfire awakened these sailors, and they ran to the dock one after another. More than 30,000 people from the 107th Division, the leading force of the Fourth Army of the Kwantung Army that attacked Haishanwei, had rushed into the city. This was the only time the Kwantung Army  A mechanized force, attacking at an extremely fast speed, quickly defeated the 3rd Guard Division of the Soviet Far East Military Region that was defending Haishanwei, and invaded the city.

    While these Soviet sailors were still running dizzy on the street, the street was already filled with Kwantung Army sailors, catching one after another. The battle started too suddenly, and Haishanwei's resistance was extremely weak. In less than five hours, they had completely fallen.  In the hands of the Kwantung Army.

    At this time, the warships of the Japanese Navy's First Fleet had also approached the port. After putting down hundreds of landing craft, more than 10,000 Japanese Marines quickly landed on the beach and seized various key points on the port and pier. The Japanese Navy had  My plan is to take advantage of the fierce fighting between the Army and the Soviet Army to occupy Haishanwei Military Port and control these warships in my own hands. In the future, I will not need the favor of the Army.

    Soldiers from the 107th Division of the Kwantung Army met with soldiers from the Marine Corps at the port. However, the scene of the meeting was too lively. When the soldiers of the Army and Navy met, it was like a cockfight, refusing to give in to each other. The emperor  The army troops did not want to seize more trophies and make their troops famous among the Imperial Japanese Army.

    First, the Army soldiers accused the Marine Corps of taking advantage of the opportunity and taking the credit of the 107th Division. When they attacked Haishanwei, why couldn't they see you guys in blue leather? After the Army bled and defeated the Soviet army, they occupied  The whole city has been invaded, and you just came in and grabbed so many trophies without firing a shot or spilling a drop of blood. How can such a good thing happen?

    The soldiers of the Marine Corps accused the Army of overstepping the boundaries. Occupying the military port was originally the task of the Navy. Your Army violated the combat plan. How can you fight?  The words went back and forth, refusing to give in to each other, and the anger grew stronger and stronger. Unexpectedly, the stupid young man in the Army, full of bushido spirit, kicked a Marine Corps soldier to the side with a karate kick, causing blood to flow from the nose and mouth.  Fainted to the ground.

    This moment stirred up a hornet's nest and was also the trigger. Soldiers from the army and navy immediately broke into a big melee. The fighting scene of nearly ten thousand people was also spectacular. The Japanese were not polite to their compatriots. What kind of karate?  , judo, boxing, and a full set of martial arts were used. However, the Japanese soldiers still had a little sense and did not use guns or knives.

    Broken bones, broken tendons, dislocated ribs, bruised noses and swollen faces, good guys, they were beaten to a complete mess, and the captured Soviet soldiers stared at them, thinking that the Japanese were collectively insane.

    Later, the chiefs of both sides came forward and finally calmed down the situation. The lawsuit was brought to the Minister of War Bin Sanyuan and the Minister of Navy Mitsumasa Yoneuchi. They also had their own reasons and the dispute continued. Thousands of wounded people were still lying on the dock.  There has to be an explanation for whatever happened, right?

    He had no choice but to ask Emperor Hirohito to judge. The successive success reports on the battlefield put Hirohito in a great mood. His face was flushed, as if he had received a hundred injections of chicken blood. He did not blame the army and navy for such ridiculous behavior.  It seems that this is the best embodiment of the bushido spirit of the soldiers of the Empire of Japan. The troops competing for merit shows their strong combat effectiveness.

    Emperor Hirohito finally showed his holy will very generously, "Two dear friends, our Empire of Japan was founded by force, so we should not punish the soldiers. Their medical expenses and consolation money will be allocated from the national treasury. From now on, Haishan  Weijun Port will be taken over by the navy, but the credit for occupying Haishanwei must still be credited to the army."

    The emperor spoke, and things had to be like this. In less than a day, Haishanwei fell completely into the hands of the Japanese. Almost all the warships of the Pacific Fleet were captured by the Japanese navy. Most of the naval officers of the Soviet Pacific Fleet?? was captured, and Stalin's largest naval force in the Far East was completely wiped out.

    The Japanese were partying, and there was another person who was also very happy. In his opinion, it was another unexpected windfall. Seizing these warships from the Japanese had nothing to do with the Soviets. Tang Qiuli paid attention to these warships again.
