    Chapter 869: Sweeping Liaodong

    Liu Tiehan's East Point troops captured Fengtian without any suspense. The desperate resistance of Major General Ono Yuuo, commander of the Fengtian Kwantung Army garrison, not only cost himself and his more than 5,000 men's lives, but had no impact on the battle situation in Fengtian.  Changes, including the Kwantung Army troops annihilated around Fengtian and along the way. In this battle of Fengtian, Liu Tiehan's troops killed nearly 14,000 second-rate Kwantung Army garrison troops, which was an unexpected gain.

    Liu Tiehan reported in detail the course and results of the Battle of Fengtian to the division commander Tang Qiuli in Dingbian. Similarly, Tang Qiuli was not surprised at all and dispatched more than 100,000 troops, more than 2,000 cannons, tanks and  If the cooperation of the aircraft becomes a stalemate, it will no longer be Liu Tiehan's army.

    Ueda Kenkichi did not send troops from the Far East battlefield to return to Fengtian, which somewhat surprised Tang Qiuli. He and Liu Tiehan agreed that he still did not hurt the Japanese. He called Liu Tiehan back: "Brother Tiehan, this is very good.  , Yingkou can be captured, and with Dashiqiao as the boundary, the connection between the Liaodong Peninsula and the Northeastern region can be cut off. At the right time, the Japanese Navy's base in Lushun can be destroyed. In order to achieve the purpose of the campaign, another six to eight brigades of troops can be mobilized to participate in the battle.  It is appropriate to attack the Liaodong Peninsula campaign."

    After receiving Tang Qiuli's telegram, Liu Tiehan thought for a long time and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, order the second-line troops to dispatch eight brigades from Panshan to the Liaodong Peninsula, and take the lead in attacking Fengtian.  The troops immediately went south to fight. By the way, what news is there from the Far East? "

    Zhao Yuhe replied: "Deputy Commander, the Soviet Timoshenko troops in the Far East are currently in a difficult situation. If Ueda Kenkichi grits his teeth and does not mobilize troops from the Far East, I am afraid that in three to five days, the Soviet army will be completely destroyed.  If it is destroyed, should we rush to the front line immediately and take command of the Liaodong Peninsula campaign? In addition, should we notify the transportation troops to receive supplies from Fengtian? "

    Liu Tiehan nodded and said: "Yes, it's time for us to move forward and penetrate the Liaodong Peninsula. I believe that with the combat effectiveness and firepower of our troops, it will never take more than three days. If we can capture Xiao  The Japanese have a few warships, that's enough. As for receiving supplies from Fengtian, just notify Zhou Yushan. This guy is more active than anyone else. Zhang Quan's soldiers all have similar temperaments and know how to live." After that, the two of them shouted together  laugh it out.

    After Tang Qiuli replied the telegram to Liu Tiehan, he analyzed the battle situation carefully. Ueda Kenkichi was determined to kill Temoshenko and would not even look back after losing Fengtian. He was betting that the whole family would win, and nothing could be done so cheaply.  Son, the Japanese still owe them a large amount of equipment and 5,000 kilograms of gold. If he doesn't turn back, let Hirohito force him to turn back. Ueda Kenkichi has no choice but to make the decision himself.

    If Ueda Kenkichi had an idea and went there to let the Japanese bleed and attack the Liaodong Peninsula, but Ueda Kenkichi still held firm, he would take the opportunity to capture the entire Liaodong Peninsula and then use heavy troops to consolidate the defense line. In this way, the Bohai Bay would become  If you know your own inner sea, you will not suffer any loss inside or outside.  But in this way, his plan was disrupted.

    It is estimated that the Japanese will not be so stupid and let the Liaodong Peninsula fall into their hands in vain. It is an important military location. With the important military port of Lushun, the Japanese will definitely fight for it again and again. Therefore, Ueda Kenkichi still has to mobilize his troops back.  However, time is a key issue. If Timoshenko is killed by the Kwantung Army, he really can't spit out Fengtian and the Liaodong Peninsula.

    After thinking about it, Tang Qiuli said to the communications staff: "Immediately send a telegram to the Soviet Ambassador to China Ovitsky to inform the Soviets that we have launched an offensive in western Liaoning to seize Fengtian. Currently, the troops are attacking the Liaodong Peninsula."  Since I have received benefits from the Soviets, I have to let them know that I am still very trustworthy when I take action. As for whether Ueda Kenkichi turns back and whether Timoshenko can break through, it is not within my ability.  .

    Then, he sent a telegram to Feng Jiwu, who was resting in Peiping, ordering Feng Jiwu's regiment to be ready to enter the Northeast at any time. At the same time, he ordered the regiment directly under him to immediately move to Shanhaiguan and stand by on the front line. In his heart, Tang Qiuli never wanted to fight with  The decisive battle of the Kwantung Army has arrived early. The most ideal situation is for the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Army to confront each other in the Far East.

    The Soviet Union, Moscow, the Kremlin, Stalin's office, it was broad daylight, the thick curtains had not been opened, only a desk lamp was turned on, the room was gloomy and dark, just like Stalin's mood at this time, Molotov hurriedly pushed  Men came in with a telegram in his hand and said: "Comrade Stalin, received an urgent telegram from Ovitsky. The Chinese has taken action in western Liaoning and has captured Fengtian. Currently, he is attacking the Liaodong Peninsula."

    After listening to Molotov's report, Stalin showed no excitement at all, as if everything was within his expectation. He just asked calmly: "Comrade Molotov, where is Timoshenko's situation so bad?"  To what extent, after Tang Qiuli launched his attack, did the Japanese show any signs of withdrawing their troops from the Far East?elephant?  "

    Molotov's face darkened and he replied: "Currently, Timoshenko is in a very dangerous situation. There are less than 100,000 troops left. Judging from the current momentum of the Japanese attack, he can last for up to four to five days."  Time, however, the Japanese took care of the Liaoxi and Liaodong peninsulas and mobilized troops from the Far East. This was Timoshenko¡¯s opportunity to break out of the desperate situation.¡±

    Stalin nodded without comment, and then asked: "How are Zhukov's preparations going?" "According to the report of Comrade Voroshilov, Chief of the General Staff, Zhukov will need at least three weeks to launch the first wave in the Far East.  This is an offensive, and the number of troops deployed for the first time will not exceed 100,000, and the number of tanks will not exceed 500," Molotov replied cautiously.

    Stalin suddenly became angry and his voice became louder. He said: "Let the General Staff order Zhukov to launch the first offensive within two weeks. If the war situation continues like this, we will lose the entire Far East. The Japanese  His greedy ambitions will not stop there, he will stand on the Ural Mountains and look at the land of the Soviet Union."

    Molotov did not speak. He fully understood Stalin's mood at this time. Losing Outer Mongolia and the Lake Baikal region, and losing the Far East region would be tantamount to killing him. However, if Zhukov launched an attack in a hurry, he would be successful.  How big do you want it to be?  But he would not express these thoughts and chose to remain silent.

    Neither of them spoke. After a while, Stalin continued: "I sent a departure telegram to Tang Qiu through Ovitsky, hoping that he will abide by the agreement reached. We in the Soviet Union have fulfilled our promises and hope that he will do the same. Also, don't  Give any order to Zhukov and just follow his own plan." After saying that, Stalin seemed helpless.

    Molotov left, and Stalin wandered alone in this dark and depressing house, with a very ugly face. Stalin hated Tang Qiuli very much. If it weren't for this rogue Chinese, he provoked a war in Outer Mongolia and severely injured Zhukov.  The First Far East Army, the Japanese will not take the opportunity to attack the Far East.

    All the situations that were not conducive to the Soviet Union were caused by this Chinese. Stalin did not take the negotiation conditions Molotov brought back from Chongqing to heart. Not to mention adding 50,000 oil, but adding five times more, the Soviet Union  He could afford it, but for Stalin, who always appeared as a strong man, this was a great insult to him.

    Stalin was accustomed to crazily pocketing his country's land and people. Such a small contribution made him extremely distressed, not because of the amount, but because the situation in the east was beyond his control. This was his biggest worry and worry.  , according to the current situation in the Far East, taking advantage of the fierce battle between the Japanese Kwantung Army and Timoshenko and the Transcaucasian troops, Tang Qiuli is fully capable of regaining the Northeast region.

    But he didn't do this, but asked for something, like those money-grubbing warlords in China. This is what Stalin was worried about. Zhukov's Far Eastern Front contained the Japanese offensive momentum without any problems, but for  To consolidate the situation in the Far East, it was necessary to mobilize troops from Europe to fight against the Japanese Kwantung Army.

    But the situation in Europe is even more worrying. Moreover, Tang Qiuli, who has great strength, is also an unstable variable. Stalin has no idea what he will do next. He vaguely feels that he and the Soviet Union are facing each other.  It seemed that control of the Far East was no longer easy. This feeling made Stalin's mood even worse.

    Liu Tiehan successively invested more than 210,000 troops in the Liaodong Peninsula, launching a large-scale offensive from Shenyang to the south, and successively captured important towns such as Anshan, Benxi, Liaoyang, Yingkou, Dashiqiao, and Xiuyan, and more than 20  Thousands of troops swept across the Liaodong Peninsula. The Kwantung Army's defenders stationed in this area were helpless.

    The Liaodong Peninsula offensive lasted just over a day and separated the Liaodong Peninsula from the northeast. The frontline of the troops was pointed directly at Anton. Immediately, the main force was divided into nine lines and advanced side by side, from north to south, toward Dalian and Lushun.  .

    Liu Tiehan's tactics were simple and direct. He took advantage of the superior artillery firepower and then strengthened the aviation force. With the tank brigade as the leading force and a large number of infantry assaults, he first divided the Kwantung Army defenders scattered throughout the Liaodong Peninsula.  surrounded, then used fierce artillery fire to destroy the Japanese positions, and then used tanks to cover the infantry assault.

    When encountering resistance from the Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive the artillery fire, they summoned bombers from the aviation unit and bombed them indiscriminately. The artillery positions moved forward and were met with another burst of earth-shattering artillery fire. Such a tactic lacked heavy weapons and  Anti-tank weapons and the Kwantung Army's second-rate garrison, which has no armor at all, can't stand it and don't even have the ability to fight back.

    This style of play is very effective. Liu Tiehan's theory is to avoid casualties and use artillery shells and bombs to speak. The ** division's logistics supplies are sufficient and can withstand consumption. Moreover, Liu Tiehan provides all participants withThe combat troops issued orders not to keep prisoners, not to accept the surrender of Japanese troops, and not to persuade them to surrender. Those who stand in our way will die, and those who don't stand in our way, all Japanese will die.

    The East Point troops swept across the Liaodong Peninsula like a strong wind. The Japanese finally couldn't sit still. However, it was not the commander of the Kwantung Army, General Ueda Kenkichi, but another person.
