A mere Tianjia town must not make Moscow so friendly. The last part of Bogomolov's words is the real reason why the Soviets are willing to support Huang Haoran so vigorously.www.biquge.info

Whether it's Tianjiazhen, Wuhan, or even Chongqing. For the Soviets, it was nothing more than a series of foreign city names, and it didn't matter if they were all thrown away.

What they really care about is the Japanese Kwantung Army, which has millions of troops in Northeast China, and this is their pillow demon. Moscow was afraid that the Japanese would bite them again on the Eastern Front.

Probably, many Chinese will ask, didn't the Soviets defeat Japan not so long ago? It was in Zhang Gufeng that the Soviet Red Army won a complete victory, and the Japanese who fought lost their armor.

Huang Haoran knew very well that compared to the summer battle, the Red Empire in the north had seriously lost blood and was even weaker.

This was due to the fact that the anti-rebellion campaign in the Soviet Union reached its climax at the end of 1938.

Shortly after the end of the Battle of Zhanggufeng, Yezhov, the head of the Soviet People's Internal Affairs Committee, commanded his executioners to capture and kill Marshal Bryucher, who commanded the victory of the Red Army in the Soviet Far East.

In China, Marshal Brücher has an even more resounding name - "General Gallen".

In 1924, the revolutionary government of Guangdong led by Sun Yat-sen sought to form a new type of army with strong political and discipline, hoping that the Soviet Union would send capable men to help in this matter. Because the Soviet Union was unwilling to clash head-on with the British, American, and Japanese imperialism, which was hostile to it, Moscow sent Bryucher and others to Guangzhou as "exiles in Belarus." In order to conceal his whereabouts, Brühel also borrowed the surname of his wife, who grew up in Harbin, and assumed the pseudonym "Gallen", which later spread throughout China with the legendary general.

After arriving in Guangzhou, Bryuhel actively promoted the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy, helped the National Revolutionary Army to reorganize, and established an advanced system of party representatives (political commissars), thus giving the army a completely new look.

He was also the chief adviser of the Northern Expedition, and personally formulated the general strategy of the Northern Expedition, which can be said to have an indissoluble bond with China.

Because of the high prestige of Marshal Brücher in the Soviet Union and in the army, Stalin did not dare to publicly accuse him or even announce his death.

As the anti-rebellion campaign expanded, the situation became more and more out of control. In December 1938, the manipulator of the anti-rebellion movement, NKVD Yezhov himself, was actually executed! His post was held by Lavlendi. Beria succeeded.

Under Beria's leadership, the Great Purge expanded to the point of indifference, with Kalinin, Molotov's wife, Kaganovich's brother, and most of Stalin's relatives arrested or executed.

The Soviet Red Army suffered unprecedented losses in this catastrophe. Before the Great Purge, the Red Army had five marshals: Tukhachevsky, Bryucher, Egorov, Budyonny and Voroshilov. And now the first two of the five have fallen under the butcher's knife, and the third Yegorov will also be poisoned in the near future.

Before the Battle of Wuhan, when the Soviet military chief adviser was replaced, the highest authorities expressed to Moscow that they wanted General Galen to come to China again, but Stalin did not agree, and presumably Marshal Bryucher was already on the blacklist of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs at that time.

Stalin finally succeeded in emptying the Soviet Red Army, and he no longer had to worry about rebellion from the army.

But there are side effects associated with doing so. Under the advantages of one another, the Japanese Kwantung Army, which was once not worth mentioning, suddenly became an extremely powerful existence.

There were many high-ranking generals of the Far Eastern Red Army who were killed along with Bryuher, and Stalin did not know whether the demoralized Far Eastern Red Army could still hold off the Japanese Kwantung Army.

Therefore, Moscow played the trick of saving the country with curves, hoping to arm the Chinese army with weapons to consume the Japanese. And Huang Haoran, the winning general, has naturally become the best investment target.

The Tianjiazhen Fortress was originally a key national defense project of the Military Commission. In the hands of Huang Haoran, it was strengthened twice, and it had a relatively complete huge fortification system.

If the supplies are sufficient and the firepower of the soldiers is properly deployed, this fortress will definitely become a nightmare for the Japanese. Once the Japanese Army suffered serious losses in the Tianjiazhen fortress, the Japanese, who had no troops to send at home, could only continue to transfer army divisions from the Kwantung Army if they wanted to occupy Wuhan. In this way, the defensive pressure of the Red Army in the Far East would be reduced, and Stalin would be able to sleep more peacefully.

This is obviously a big deal, so if you want to do it, you have to pay a big price.

Huang Haoran decided to take the opportunity to knock the Soviets on the line. The Japanese will not stop invading China, and the 25th Group Army will not be able to rest for too long. If we can make good use of this opportunity to get tremendous benefits from the Soviets, we will not only be able to quickly replenish and restore our combat strength in the short term, but will also be able to solve some hidden dangers that have already shown signs at the present stage.

Since the 99th Division, Huang Haoran has been committed to standardizing the equipment of the troops. But due to continuous operations, the losses of personnel and equipment were serious. In addition, the speed of development of the troops is extremely fast, and the strength of the troops has increased many times compared with the period of the 99th Division, and the supply of equipment can only be said to be barely keeping up. Whether it is domestic, German, Japanese, or Soviet, what can be purged is a good plaster.

After more than a year of fighting in the Anti-Japanese War, the largest equipment replenishment obtained by Huang Haoran's group came from the Soviet Union, and with the efforts of the logistics department, the two main forces of the 99th Army and the 100th Army were equipped with a large number of Soviet-style equipment, and their combat capability was greatly improved.

However, these Soviet weapons were actually double-edged swords, although the combat capability of the troops was improved, but the dependence of Huang Haoran's troops on the Soviets also reached an unprecedented level.

As a simple example, if 7.62 mm ammunition is not obtained, then the 30,000 Mosin Nagant rifles of the two main armies will be turned into incendiary sticks, and the 25th Army will be immediately paralyzed.

Being controlled by others is not Huang Haoran's character. Moreover, the outbreak of World War II was imminent, and the Soviet Union's aid would soon come to an end. So be sure to solve your worries before it happens.

"I can go and give Chen Cixiu a hand, but my troops are now suffering heavy losses and need to be replenished immediately, and the miscellaneous weapons of all countries are a disaster for logistics, and I hope that Mr. General Counsel and Mr. Ambassador can solve this problem for me."

"General Huang, you now have more than a dozen divisions in your hands, although there are a lot of supplies aided by our country, it is impossible to transport them all at the same time, and it is difficult to change all of them at once......

"I know that it is impossible to eat a fat man in one bite, so I plan to come one division after another, as long as you are sincere, I believe that there will always be a day when it will be completed, and in order to make my troops better use your country's equipment, please give me technical advisers, I need not ten or eight, but hundreds, as well as combat staff officers, training instructors, weapons engineers, industrial and agricultural experts, I want all of these! In short, I want to bring the troops as close as possible to the level of the Soviet Red Army within six months, and Yibin needs to have the most basic military-industrial supporting industries......"

"I can agree to your first request now, Moscow sent a lot of Soviet officers to China, but they were not welcomed by your military, and they will be very happy to be able to use the 25th Army~ I can assure you that at least 300 people will be provided to you...... As for your second request, Moscow agreed to privately provide you with a loan of 30 million dollars, all converted into weapons and technical equipment, and all at cost price. But if these things don't go through the official channel, it will be difficult to transport them in. And if you go official, how many will come to your hands......" (to be continued.) )
