    Chapter 815 Stalin¡¯s Compromise

    Tang Qiuquan, captain of the Special War Detachment of the ** Division, followed the plan of division commander Tang Qiuli and used the seized documents to successfully enter Haishan, captain of the 19th Baggage Brigade of the Kwantung Army Ueda Masao, as the nephew of the Kwantung Army Commander Ueda Kenkichi.  In order to suppress the threat, they successively brought the troops supported by the special operations detachment and the rebellion group formed by Tang Qiuli himself into the city.  (_-< Registered members of Piaotian Literature recommend this work >-)

    The reputation of the 19th Baggage Brigade of the Kwantung Army is already out there, and for no other reason than the nephew of Commander Ueda Kenkichi. This guy with a very strong family background, no one dares to feel uncomfortable, not even the military police.  The interrogation was at most a routine matter and very polite, which brought great convenience to the special operations detachment's activities in Haishanwei City.

    Because there was an order to establish a material transfer station, the supply troops arrived in batches without attracting the special attention of the 109th Division of the Kwantung Army responsible for the security mission of Haishanwei.

    As soon as the Soviet-Japanese war in the Far East began, the Japanese army's logistics supplies increased dramatically. The Kwantung Army's logistics supplies were divided into two routes, one was from Harbin, Mudanjiang to Suifenhe in Eastern Manchuria, and the other was the Japanese mainland, across the Sea of ??Japan.  On the supply line, the 19th Baggage Brigade of the Kwantung Army that Qiuquan killed was responsible for transporting supplies from the sea.

    Because it is a logistics force, it is normal for personnel and trucks to enter and leave Haishanwei, and everything goes smoothly. There is one last problem before Qiuquan. I don¡¯t know how the Japanese army and navy are doing it. They are incompatible with each other.  In a compatible posture, except for the designated dock for unloading goods and the naval port controlled by the Marine Corps, Qiuquan and the others could not get close to it at all.

    The sentry post of the 19th Baggage Brigade was separated from the Marine Corps sentry by a barbed wire fence. The Marine Corps soldiers looked at these Army compatriots with wrong eyes.  It looks like the soldiers of the special operations unit are trying to chat with them, please them, pass them cigarettes and say hello, but it's no use. These guys are ignorant and will roll their eyes when they look at you.

    The amount of supplies coming from Japan was very large. The soldiers of the special operations detachment were responsible for loading and unloading supplies every day. They were so tired that they were sweating. The soldiers laughed at themselves in private: "The detachment leader has found a good task for us. The responsibility is for the little ones."  The Japanese are here as laborers." As supplies were unloaded on the dock in large quantities, the size of the transfer station became larger and larger, gradually extending to the area controlled by the Marine Corps.

    Qiuquan was also anxious, and truthfully reported the situation and difficulties faced by the troops in Haishanwei to the division commander Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiuli called back: "Don't be impatient, wait for the opportunity, and make sure nothing goes wrong. The war between Japan and the Soviet Union will not happen soon."  When it ends, there will be a decisive battle between the two sides in the Far East."

    Tang Qiuli was not just guessing out of thin air. Just yesterday, the besieged Soviet army sent several people over, claiming to be the plenipotentiary representatives of General Zhukov. They hoped to interview and exchange views with the top commander of the Chinese side on issues related to the besieged Soviet army.  Opinion.

    When Tang Qiuli heard this, he became furious at the time. In the Far East, the Soviets were already beaten to a pulp by the Japanese. You are still bargaining with me and putting on airs in Outer Mongolia. Did Stalin have water in his head?  If the Soviet government doesn't come forward and just let these remnant soldiers be defeated, how can there be any hope in dealing with me in the future?

    He sneered and said to Chang Feng: "Shoot them back with a bullet, and then tell these Soviet soldiers that you are my prisoners, but you have not handed over your guns for the time being. As long as I am willing, I will let you go within thirty minutes."  All turned into corpses, negotiate with me, you are not qualified, ask the Soviet government to send a delegation that can speak, otherwise there will be no negotiation."

    Chang Feng suppressed his laughter and went out, repeating Tang Qiuli's words to several Soviet generals. Then, following the division commander's instructions, he used a long string of heavy machine gun bullets to drive them back into the encirclement.  Zhukov, who was eagerly waiting for the negotiator to return, knew that there would be no result when he saw the appearance of these assistants.

    After more than ten days, Zhukov became much older and haggard. He was responsible for the lives of hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army soldiers. His military pride made him always have the urge to die on the battlefield, but hundreds of thousands of living  Life left him helpless. Although there were air supplies every day, as the time of being surrounded was extended, the morale and fighting will of the soldiers became more and more sluggish. Such a unit could no longer fight.

    Zhukov had a strange feeling about Tang Qiuli's permission to airdrop supplies to the surrounded Soviet army, which subverted his entire view of the Chinese. He wanted to see in person the Chinese general who had defeated him.  , turned hundreds of thousands of active Red Army soldiers into Chinese people who looked like sick cats. There was too much mystery in this Chinese person.

    From the continuous telegrams sent from the country, Zhukov felt with the keenness of a soldier that a major event must have occurred. Just yesterday, he received a telegram from the General Staff telling him that Comrade Stalin wasThe only task at present is to desperately seek some means to solve the Outer Mongolia issue as soon as possible and preserve the strength of the troops.

    ¡°In Zhukov¡¯s view, if he wants to solve the Outer Mongolia issue and find a way out for himself and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he can only negotiate with the difficult and mysterious Chinese in front of him. Apart from this, there is no other way to go.

    Zhukov guessed correctly. Before the Japanese took action on September 10, Stalin's strategy for solving the Outer Mongolia issue was "delay". In enough time, he could mobilize all military forces to break the Chinese Communist Party's attack on Zhukov's troops.  siege, in exchange for the solution of the Outer Mongolia issue at the smallest cost.

    This is Zhukov, who made Stalin think so hard. If it were other generals, Stalin's absolutely tough attitude would be almost like playing a rogue. He wants money or his life, but he can't do it to Zhukov. From the series of battles commanded by Zhukov  , Stalin saw hope for the future of the Red Army, although Zhukov was still defeated by Tang Qiuli.

    Without his own opinions imposed on Zhukov, the outcome of the Outer Mongolia War would have been different. Based on this alone, Stalin would not have given up on Zhukov.

    At this point, we have to admire Stalin's vision for spotting Zhukov's potential military commanding ability. The history of his return proves that Stalin was not wrong about Zhukov. At the most critical juncture of the Soviet-German war, the German army had  Near the gates of Moscow, Zhukov acted as Stalin's fire-fighting captain when he was ordered to go into trouble.

    Wherever the war situation was most critical, Stalin sent Zhukov there. Zhukov lived up to Stalin's high expectations and repeatedly saved the day. Not only did he defend Moscow and contain the fierce German offensive, he also changed the situation of the war and finally dedicated his life to the Soviet Union and Stalin.  Total victory of the war.

    From this point of view, Tang Qiuli, a man of two generations, understood Zhukov's position in Stalin's mind better than Stalin and even Zhukov himself. Using him as a hostage, he did not have to worry about the Soviets not cutting his flesh. The so-called "curious goods can be lived in". Tang Qiu  Li took Zhukov and hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers as bargaining chips in negotiations with Stalin. This treasure was a sure profit.

    It should be said that Stalin's strategy was correct. Without the sudden Japanese attack in the Far East, Tang Qiuli would not have been able to delay it. However, the Japanese army of more than 500,000 invaded the Far East, disrupting Stalin's position.  , By this time, Stalin almost completely understood that Tang Qiuli should be operating this war behind the scenes.

    Maybe the Japanese also knew this, but this war was what the Japanese needed. Tang Qiuli just lit the fuse. Stalin hated Tang Qiuli, a Chinese who put him in a dilemma.  It was so deep in his bones that if he had the chance, Stalin would really like to use all the troops of the country to cut this hateful Chinese into pieces.

    But this is not possible at the moment. The Soviet army only has so many assets in the Far East. Some European troops do not dare to move to the Far East. After weighing the pros and cons, Stalin no longer hesitates. If he continues to hesitate, Zhukov and more than a dozen  If thousands of soldiers cannot be defended, the Far East will eventually fall into the hands of the Japanese.

    He had no choice but to make the painful choice to compromise with Tang Qiuli, the Chinese who had become his nightmare, and use all his energy to deal with the Japanese who had the upper hand in the Far East. It was not easy for this strong man to bow his head.  Timoshenko, commander and political commissar of the Second Army, sent emergency telegrams several times a day.

    "The General Staff transferred to Comrade Stalin. Since the Kwantung Army launched a large-scale attack on the Far East on September 10, on the first day of the war, almost all important towns and military points in the Far East were lost. The local garrison troops were completely lost. Our Second Group Army troops  , relying on the defense lines of the Ula River and the Dobi River to defend the Arsenyev area, the situation was extremely critical. Almost all the main forces of the Kwantung Army were pressed in this direction. By September 16, within seven days, our unit suffered casualties  The number has reached more than 50,000, and we are asking for additional reinforcements to be sent quickly.¡±

    This is Timoshenko's telegram asking for help. As he said, the Arsenyev area held by the Second Far East Army is like a huge magnet, attracting almost all the Kwantung Army's troops, swarming in like locusts.  , one can imagine the pressure Timoshenko endured.

    Looking at Timoshenko's telegram, Stalin believed that all this was true. Timoshenko, like Zhukov, was not a guy who gave up easily. They would not send such a request for help unless it was a last resort or the situation was very critical.  Telegraph.

    It was time to make up his mind. Stalin put down Timoshenko's telegram, called Molotov over, and said in a solemn tone: "Comrade Molotov, the Politburo has decided that you will be the leader of the group to form a group to pay for Outer Mongolia and Tang Dynasty.  The Qiuli negotiating delegation will give the damn Chinese what they want, as long as it is within our means. Remember, the only purpose is to save the lives of Comrade Zhukov and hundreds of thousands of Red Army soldiers. "

    &nbsp; From Stalin's tone, Molotov heard helplessness and deep-seated hatred. He was not like this. Stalin decided to compromise with Tang Qiuli, hoping to end this nightmare. However, veteran politics  Stalin would never have thought that this was just the beginning of his dealings with Tang Qiuli. The incident that made him vomit blood was still to come.
