Chapter 509: Training the Soviet Army with Concentrated Development

After Han Yunhua's telegram was sent to the central government, it attracted great attention from the central government, of course, all this was expected by Han Yunhua, after all, any move by a leader like him who commanded more than one million troops attracted much attention. However, he believed that the chairman and others would understand his painstaking efforts, and besides, the transfer of Chen Yun, Cao Juru, and others to work in the military region also greatly reduced Han Yunhua's pressure, after all, Chen Yun and others were loyal fighters who had been tested by the party, and they would not betray the party no matter what. Moreover, Chen Yun had previously served as the top leader of the special section of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the self-discipline and self-discipline of such cadres were extremely high, so Han Yunhua judged that this telegram would definitely be transmitted to Moscow.

After more than three hours of discussion, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee finally decided to send this telegram, which was characterized as "slightly military intelligence", to Moscow, but asked Han Yunhua's headquarters to immediately transfer the stationing of the troops and so on, in case of a sneak attack by the Japanese puppet army, after all, there were still many spies from various countries lurking in the Soviet Union.

After the telegram was sent to Moscow, Stalin didn't care, although he was very interested in Han Yunhua, a little comrade, but now that the Soviet Union was pressed by a strong enemy, he didn't have much energy to pay attention to other things, besides, summer was coming, and the attack of Nazi Germany was probably about to start in summer, and summer was not a good season for the Soviet Union, because the German army in summer was more combative, and the harsh winter was the favorite of the Soviet Union, and Napoleon was defeated in such a harsh climate. So Stalin was extremely worried about the ensuing war.

However, Zhukov, then chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Red Army, believed that since Han Yunhua, a Chinese comrade, had such a strategic vision and controlled more than half of the elite troops of the Chinese Communist Party, according to intelligence, the troops led by Comrade Han had enough ability to confront the elite Japanese army in the Far East, so the Soviet Union could not snub this Chinese comrade so much, so he hoped that Comrade Stalin must keep in touch with this Comrade Han Yunhua, in case the Chinese army was not responded to when it was necessary for the Chinese army to come forward.

As the dissolution of the Comintern was on the agenda, the Soviets, especially the Soviet leadership, found themselves losing control of the Communist Parties of other countries, and that their influence was clearly declining. Therefore, it is no longer possible to arbitrarily and rudely interfere in the development of the communist parties of other countries as before, and it is no longer possible to arbitrarily support a Communist Party member to seize the leadership of the communist parties of the member states.

Zhukov's proposal was approved by Stalin, and although the chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Red Army, who had just been reinstated, had not yet fully approved of Stalin, his far-sighted strategic vision and superb level of exponential command were still very commendable, and Stalin was well aware of this.

The Chief of Staff of the Red Army was no unknown person, as early as September 1939, the Japanese army carried out armed provocations in the area of the Haraha River, and the situation in the Far East was tense. Zhukov was appointed commander of the 1st Army of the Soviet Army in Mongolia and commanded the operation against Japan. In a short period of time, he successfully organized and implemented the Battle of the Khalha River, and won a great victory in destroying more than 50,000 enemies at a small cost of 9,000 casualties. In this battle, Zhukov showed his first edge, showing his superb command and organizational skills. He was adept at coordinating the actions of infantry, artillery, tanks, and aviation, boldly carrying out roundabout encirclement, and annihilating the enemy's main forces by surprise. His theory of the concentrated use of tanks was also confirmed in actual combat, and he was praised by the whole country, and he was awarded the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union", and was soon appointed chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Red Army, responsible for the reorganization and training of troops.

At the beginning of the Soviet-German war, the Soviet army responded in a hurry, suffered heavy losses, failed to stop the German army, and lost the city and land. The Germans advanced 300-600 kilometers in three weeks. Soon, the Germans marched south only 15-20 kilometers from Kiev. However, Stalin and Zhukov disagreed on the question of whether to defend Kiev or not, and Stalin ordered to defend Kiev and Zhukov strongly advocated abandoning Kiev and withdrawing the Southwestern Front to the other side of the Dnieper River to avoid being surrounded by the German army, preserve strength, and then try to counterattack.

Stalin, taking into account the mood of the Soviet people and the morale of the troops, refused to accept the proposal of the Chief of the General Staff Zhukov, and dismissed him from the post of Chief of the General Staff and demoted him to the post of commander of the Reserve Front. Two months later, the Southwestern Front was surrounded by the Germans in the Kiev region, and Stalin realized that Zhukov's claim was correct, but it was too late, as 700,000 men of the Southwestern Front were encircled and annihilated, and Kiev fell. …,

Seeing Zhukov's strategic vision, coupled with the needs of the war ahead, Stalin soon reactivated Zhukov, who is now the chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Red Army and commander of the Northwestern Front.

Zhukov saw the real intention of the Inner Mongolia Military Region to display hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border of the puppet Manchurians, to be honest, he was the same as Stalin, and he did not look down on the Chinese army in his heart, although he also sent people to China to help the Anti-Japanese Federation, but it was only out of the national interests of the Soviet Union, but the establishment of a division of several hundred people and an army of 1,000 people was a joke in Zhukov's view, but this powerful military region of the Chinese Communist Party does not seem to be like this, their troops are huge in number and complete, and they are clearly aimed at the goal. The hundreds of thousands of Chen soldiers on the territory of the Japanese puppet army are certainly not for soy sauce, to be precise, these hundreds of thousands should be more than 200,000 troops can contain how many Japanese puppet troops, and it is self-evident how much help the great Soviet can have.

However, not long ago, the telegram jointly sent by Ilanova and Ivanov and a number of senior officers of the Far Eastern Military Region attracted Zhukov's attention, and in this telegram, Illanova, who had personally visited the Inner Mongolia Military Region, highly admired the overall strength of the Inner Mongolia Military Region and the quality of Han Yunhua herself, especially the group of special combat teams trained by the Inner Mongolia Military Region, which made Ilanova and others even more amazed. In this telegram, Ilanova reported one thing to Stalin, that is, on the way to escort Ilanova back to the Far East by the special operations team selected by Han Yunhua, she encountered the blockade line of the Japanese puppet army, according to Illanova's idea, it was a detour to dodge, after all, the escort personnel plus the personnel of the Far Eastern Military Region were only 70 people, but there were many Japanese puppet troops on the Sino-Soviet and Sino-Mongolian borders, especially the Japanese cavalry squads that often roamed on the steppes were very difficult.

However, the special operations team that escorted Illanova did not make a detour, but used ambush, sniper and other tactics to kill all the way, and only hunted and killed more than 1,600 Japanese puppet soldiers with a team of more than 60 people, and also captured more than 800 puppet soldiers, which made the Japanese puppet army on the Sino-Mongolian border extremely nervous.

Han Yunhua actually didn't know about this matter, because according to Han Yunhua's order, the special operations team directly entered Northeast China after completing the mission, and then came under the command of Li Dingguo's department, so what he received so far was only a telegram sent by Li Dingguo's 16th Division that our army had successfully completed the mission and there were no casualties, but as for the details, he didn't know much.

After learning about these circumstances, Zhukov believed that the reason why Han Yunhua's department was able to rise in such a short period of time had something to do with such a powerful unit with superb individual combat ability, and now that the theory of special operations has begun to spread among the troops of various countries, the performance of the snipers trained by the Soviet Union on the battlefield is surprising, and the results are also quite brilliant, so Zhukov and Stalin have a certain understanding of special operations and special forces, and at the same time, they have also begun to set up their own special combat teams in the Soviet Union.

Moreover, before this, the Soviet Union had been attacked by the German special forces and suffered heavy losses, so Zhukov believed that Han Yunhua's unit already had complete theories and achievements in special warfare training, and could help the great Soviet Union in local wars or in the entire Soviet defense system.

Stalin's reply soon arrived in Yan'an again, and this time in the telegram he affectionately referred to Han Yunhua as a dear comrade, which made many people fall through their glasses. If the love of the chairman and others could not dispel the intentions of some people, then Stalin's telegram became Han Yunhua's talisman.

The meaning of Stalin's reply was very clear, that is, he hoped that the Inner Mongolia Military Region would be able to train a powerful special forces for the great Soviets, and that the Soviet Union would provide the Inner Mongolia Military Region with a batch of weapons and ammunition in the shortest possible time.

The central government is happy to see this kind of thing, but the matter of the special forces is the highest military secret of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, except for Han Yunhua, even Luo Ronghuan, Zuo Quan, and the previous Shen Yuquan do not know much, and when these political commissars arrived, Han Yunhua clearly proposed that they were not allowed to meddle in anything of the special combat team. So the central government didn't dare to make a decision privately, so the ball was kicked to the Inner Mongolia Military Region again.

After reading the telegram, Han Yunhua thought about it for a while, and then sent a telegram back to the central authorities, which meant that the theory and achievements of special operations are the common achievements of the Communist Party of China, not that Han Yunhua alone, and at the same time pointed out that the training and use of special forces in their military regions are the most advanced in the world, and they are not even comparable to military powers such as Germany and Japan. In other words, as long as the central government orders him to do it, Han Yunhua will do it, and if the central government does not agree to this matter, it will be considered yellow. …,

Almost everyone could see that Han Yunhua was afraid of taking responsibility, so he kicked the ball back, giving the central leaders a headache.

After studying and deciding, the Central Committee authorized Han Yunhua's unit to accept the conditions of the Soviet Union and train troops for the Soviet Union. However, there is one point, that is, the trained special combat personnel are only allowed to reach the ability of second-level special combat personnel, and they must not hand over the most core things together. Of course, this sentence was not sent in a document, but was notified to Han Yunhua by the chairman through a secret radio station, and Han Yunhua destroyed it immediately after reading it.

Han Yunhua already knew this result, not that he could anticipate everything as a god, but because the Comintern had not yet been dissolved, and the influence of the Soviet Union on the Comintern was unparalleled, and now neither the leader of Yugoslavia nor Chairman Mao of the Communist Party of China dared or wanted to offend Stalin, and as for Kim Il Sung of North Korea and Ho Chi Minh of Vietnam, they were just little brothers in the Comintern, and they were not qualified to be horses. Based on this situation, Han Yunhua judged that the matter of training special forces for the Soviet Union would probably not change.

However, Han Yunhua doesn't care, the essence or theory of special operations has some incomplete records in various countries, but there are only 3 countries that can really use special forces on the battlefield, the first is Germany, the second is China, and the third is Japan, which is forced by China. Germany is the most comprehensive strength of the three countries, it not only has a complete theory, but also has a formal special training school, so Germany's special forces were the first in the world at that time.

However, the emergence of the special forces of the Inner Mongolia Military Region made everyone fall through the glasses, and several shots by the special combat team directly made the Japanese top brass furious, and Japan's own special combat team was defeated in the process of fighting with the special forces of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Needless to say, the 800-odd iron-blooded elite people personally mastered by Han Yunhua are several thousand special forces trained in the second batch, and their combat effectiveness is also extremely strong, and the number of mass-produced special forces in military academies is even more numerous, and although their combat effectiveness has declined somewhat, they are better than strong discipline, and the results of systematic education are also good, and they can completely enable the trained Soviet GIs to deal with the semi-finished special combat teams of Germany.

Although Han Yunhua's department agreed to train special forces for the Soviet Union, Han Yunhua also had his own conditions: First, the Soviet Union must provide the Inner Mongolia Military Region with 200 old Soviet tanks and armored vehicles and a large number of light weapons within two months. Second, the number of Soviet soldiers participating in the training must be determined by the Soviet side, but in principle no more than 1,000 Soviet soldiers. Thirdly, the armament and ammunition for the training of the troops had to be solved by the USSR itself. Fourth, the trained Soviet units had to be commanded and obey orders.

Although these four conditions of the Inner Mongolia Military Region were harsh, they were a drizzle compared to the Soviet Union, which lost thousands of tanks and hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield in Eastern Europe, and soon Stalin sent a telegram secretly conferring the rank of lieutenant general of the Soviet Red Army and taking full responsibility for the training of Soviet special forces.

After obtaining the consent of the Military Commission, Han Yunhua accepted the appointment from the Soviet Union, and at the same time ordered Li Dingguo, who was far away in Tongliao, to immediately return to Zhangjiakou to accept a new appointment.

On July 12, 1941, the Soviet Red Army secretly arrived in Guisui with 300 veterans and junior officers from the front, and 500 elite soldiers from the Far Eastern Military District.

On July 13, Han Yunhua took Li Dingguo and Wang Xiaohu to meet this group of Soviet soldiers in the secret military camp in Guisui, of course, the first meeting between the two sides was very unpleasant, because this group of Soviet soldiers knew from the beginning what they came to China for, so many people were not very happy to receive training, in the eyes of many people, China is still the China that was bullied by others before, can China train elite soldiers, they are very skeptical.

Han Yunhua had been prepared for this for a long time, and this time Han Yunhua was accompanied by 227 personal guards, and this personal guard team was sent by Han Yunhua to Shandong, Northeast, Henan, and other places for destructive training in the past three years or so, on the one hand, to bring new soldiers, and on the other hand, to crack down on the Japanese puppet forces. Not long ago, Han Yunhua ordered all the special operations units outside the country to immediately return to the military region, and Wei Peng, Wang Xiaohu, Kong Yang, and others finally returned to the military region. …,

After reorganization, the first batch of 814 special combat personnel who followed Han Yunhua and later supplemented to the first batch were formed into the First Special Operations Division of the Inner Mongolia Military Region, with Wei Peng as the division commander, and the second batch of 3,498 people with a total of 3,498 people were organized into the Second Special Operations Division, with Wang Xiaohu as mayor and Kong Yang as political commissar.

In order to completely intimidate this Soviet army, Han Yunhua ordered the 800 Soviet elite to besiege more than 200 special combat soldiers. Originally, these Soviet trained troops were not willing to take advantage of the Chinese, so they insisted on assigning 200 men to fight and have a one-on-one confrontation with the Chinese army.

Of course, Han Yunhua did not answer, and directly ordered the special combat team to take the initiative to attack, and the result was expected for a long time, and the more than 200 special combat personnel of the First Special Operations Division were all elites with one as ten, and it took less than five minutes to overthrow all the 800 Soviet soldiers, and none of the Chinese side was injured.

After this war, the Soviet soldiers were convinced, and after seeing the firearms training of the Chinese special forces, these Soviet soldiers were completely convinced, and they could not imagine that there would be such a fierce army in the world, and their enthusiasm for training was greatly strengthened.

Han Yunhua handed over the training of the Soviet special forces to Li Dingguo, because Li Dingguo was one of the best members of the first batch of special forces trained by Han Yunhua, and Han Yunhua was relieved to hand over these Soviet GIs to Li Dingguo. Han Yunhua ordered Li Dingguo to take these 800 Soviet soldiers and 267 special combat members of the former Feilong Special Combat Squadron to the northeast region immediately for training.

Li Dingguo readily agreed, originally he was a special operations officer, but later he used him as an ordinary senior officer, although he previously held a high position as the commander of the 16th Division, with tens of thousands of elites, but Li Dingguo was not happy, he still felt that the combat method of special operations was his favorite, although this time from the division commander to the "battalion commander", but Li Dingguo's mood was extremely happy......
