906 Anti-Encirclement and Suppression and Long March 13 to the North to Resist China?

July 22, 1939, 10 p.m., west of the Leary River.

In the war room of the former enemy's general headquarters of the Soviet Red Army, there was a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere. The staff officers of the Red Army, who went in and out to give orders to pass on messages, were also light-hearted, trying not to make a sound, so as not to provoke the great leader of the world revolution who was about to go crazy or had already gone mad! The offensive that began this afternoon seemed to have been a complete failure, although the Great Leader personally supervised the battle on the front line like a madman, and ordered several Red Army regiments and battalion commanders to be shot in succession, and even shouted that he would personally pick up a rifle and charge! But in front of the impregnable defense line of India, all efforts have been in vain, or all hopes have been dashed! ，

Stalin was now sitting in a broken chair in the middle of the battle, listening to the staff officers constantly reporting on the losses of the troops, muttering to himself that he didn't know what he was talking about. No one else understands, and no one dares to ask.

At this time, the chief of the General Staff of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, General Zhukov, walked in from the outside with a tired face, and now the entire Soviet Red Army should dare to make some suggestions to Stalin. The general walked up to Stalin, snapped upright, respectfully gave a military salute, and said loudly: "Comrade Stalin, the Sindh campaign has achieved the set goal, dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of Indian imperialism, and has favorably supported the just cause of the Indian GCD and the Indian people. ”

"Go north to fight China!?" Even Stalin, who was about to go crazy, finally reacted when he heard this. He raised his head and stared at Zhukov with a solemn face for a while, his beard moved slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Where are you going north?" Tibet? ”

Zhukov breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the great leader still knew that the north of India was Tibet, and it seemed that he had not gone crazy yet, and there was still a glimmer of hope for the world revolution! He nodded solemnly and replied, "It's Tibet!" After all, the main enemy of our Soviet Union is not Indian imperialism, but Chinese imperialism, German fascist imperialism and Russian tsarist traitorous imperialism! Among them, Chinese imperialism is the greatest threat to the revival of the Soviet Union! Therefore, it should also be the target of a heavy blow that we will deal a heavy blow. And if we want to deal a heavy blow to Chinese imperialism, we should choose their weakness, and Tibet is obviously the weakness of Chinese imperialism! ”

He walked to the edge of the map, picked up his baton and pointed to Tibet on the map, saying: "The reactionary rule of Chinese imperialism over Tibet is actually very weak. Ever since China's progressive general, General Liu Wenhui, was relieved of his military power by the reactionary Chinese authorities, the political power in Tibet has been completely controlled by the Tibetan lords, the Maggie family, and the Chinese Nationalist Government has only controlled Tibet through religion, and has not stationed a single soldier in Tibet, nor has it taken any democratic and progressive measures in Tibet! Even Tibet's social economy has seen a marked regression in recent years, and there is hardly anything modern in Tibet at present, as if it was still in the Middle Ages. If we now march into the Punjab, Anchar and Kashmir regions in northern India, first open up revolutionary base areas there, and then wait for an opportunity to attack Tibet and liberate the Tibetan people, it will be a heavy blow to the entire Chinese imperialist colonial system! Perhaps the peoples of all countries enslaved by Chinese imperialism will rise up."

Hearing this, the senior generals of the Soviet Red Army in this war room all gave a thumbs up in their hearts. No wonder this Zhukov can rise to prominence, people really have a way! The defeat has reached this point, and you can still toss a "north to resist China"!

Of course, the thing of going north over the Himalayas into Tibet to touch the ass of the Chinese imperialist tiger must never really be done! Didn't the big guys run away from the Soviet Union to India just to hide from this Chinese imperialism? I can't hide it, how can I still send it to the door by myself? However, using this as an excuse, it is feasible to abandon the Sindh campaign, go north to break through the Indian army's defense line from the middle reaches of the Indus River, and fight in the hinterland of India to grab a piece of territory, and live a comfortable life for a few years. Anyway, the civil war between the Indian National Congress Party and the GCD has just begun, and it is estimated that there will be no result in ten or eight years

Stalin listened calmly to Zhukov's introduction of the importance of "going north to resist China" to the world revolution, there was no expression on his face, only a finger rhythmically tapping on the table, I don't know if it was a sign of madness? It wasn't until Zhukov's mouth was dry and he couldn't think of anything to persuade Stalin that Stalin groaned: "Have you finished sorting out the troops?" How many are there now? How's the morale? ”

Zhukov nodded and said: "The morale is okay (otherwise, how to say?) The troops were almost closed, and nearly 20,000 people were lost in a week's storming, and there were still 100,000 troops in the Central Front. It's just that there is a serious loss of weapons and ammunition, there is not much ammunition left for the 17-pounder cannon, and there are not many machine rifle bullets left. I have ordered the units to collect the shells and prepare to make reloads when they have settled down. ”

"What about the grain? Is there enough food to eat? To the north, you have to pass through hundreds of kilometers of mountainous areas, where it is not easy to gather food. Stalin asked again. This dictator seems to understand quite a bit now.

"Not enough." Zhukov shook his head, his expression became grim, "We can slaughter all the horses and send people to the nearby villages to collect some."

With a wave of Stalin's heavy handle, he interrupted Zhukov, "Send a machine-gun to requisition the food team!" Confiscate everything from the landlords and kulaks! Implement the surplus grain collection system! Also, take some hostages in all the villages! Arrest all the landlords, kulaks, priests, and so on! ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several senior Soviet generals in the war room turned blue. Just when everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. I heard the thunderous sound of cannon outside!

"What kind of cannon do Indians shoot at night? Don't sleep? I don't know who muttered, but it sounds like Stalin's!

"Indian army shelling! They're going to raid! Zhukov immediately reacted, he snatched the phone from a staff officer who was in contact with the front, shook it a few times, and shook the phone of the headquarters of the Third Guards Army of the Front, and it took a long time to hear the voice of Lieutenant General Lukin, commander of the Second Guards Army, in the earphones: "Comrade Zhukov? The enemy shelling was fierce! Listening to the sound, at least 300 cannons were used, and the enemy's reinforcements are likely to have arrived! ”

Zhukov shouted into the headphones: "Have the troops been gathered?" Did you suffer significant losses from enemy shelling? Can it be taken down now? Lu Jin on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said, "Retreat!" Was this Stalin's instructions? ”

Zhukov looked at Stalin, who was sitting on the chair expressionlessly, and said loudly: "Comrade Stalin, it's a call from Lieutenant General Lukin, he asks to retreat!" ”

"Nope! Can't retreat! Stalin jumped to his feet, waved his arms and shouted: "The working class of all Russia is looking at us, and Comrade Lenin is looking at us!" We can't go back! No refund! ”

"Comrade Stalin! Wake up! The Red Army is in danger, and now it is too late to retreat, at least to preserve most of its strength! Zhukov stamped his feet and shouted: "Lenin is dead, and the working class of all Russia is also blinded by the prostitute and no longer supports us!" ”

"Lenin is not dead, he is not dead, he is just," Stalin muttered, and his voice was so muffled that no one could hear it clearly. Just when everyone in the war room was feeling hopeless, Lukin on the other end of the phone suddenly shouted again: "Tank! Oh, my God! It's tanks, tanks for the Indians! They are wading across the river! There seem to be hundreds! We're done."

Lukin's voice came through the telephone headset, although not too loud, but it was so clear that almost the entire war room could hear it clearly, and everyone looked at Stalin with desperate eyes. At this time, Stalin, who seemed to be crazy, suddenly returned to normal, he raised his eyes and swept the crowd, and ordered calmly: "Order: Let the Interior Guard Corps send Joseph. The Stalin division came over and covered the transfer of the command! Let Lukin's 3rd Guards Army act as the rearguard, to stop the Indians at all costs. Zhukov, arrange for the transfer of other troops, we will first go to Khuzdal to join the army of the Indus Front, and then go north together to resist China! ”

Stalin returned to normalcy at the most critical moment, and finally saved the Red Army and the Party once again. Under the arrangement of Zhukov, Timosinger and others, the 100,000 remnants of the defeated army began another chaotic retreat!

However, the attack of more than 300 tanks and armored vehicles of the Indian armored forces and tens of thousands of pursuers was also chaotic, and the training time of these Indian armored troops was too short, and they only learned to drive tanks and open fire, even these two most basic skills are not up to par. When wading across the river, more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles drove themselves, drowning dozens of people! And after going ashore, these tanks and armored vehicles spent nearly 30 minutes slowly forming a team in front of the positions of the Soviet Red Army! Fortunately, the Soviet Red Army no longer has the terrible ZIS-1 anti-tank guns, and if there were still ten or eight guns, tonight's battle situation might be a complete victory for the Red Army! After the Indian tank troops formed a team and seized the Soviet positions with a charge, they were inexplicably bombarded by a burst of their own artillery fire! As a result, hundreds of vain ghosts were added

Although the Indian army's armored assault organization tonight was a mess, the coordination between artillery, infantry, and tanks was simply full of holes! However, due to the fact that their opponents, the Soviet Red Army, were in a worse state, the offensive of the Indian army nevertheless achieved very impressive results! A night of assault and pursuit pushed the Indian front nearly 15 kilometers forward, killing and wounding and capturing more than 6,000 Soviet Red officers and soldiers, and capturing dozens of 17-pounder field guns, as well as countless small arms and ammunition. The defeated Soviet Red Army was forced to embark on a fleeing journey of more than 300 kilometers again in the absence of supplies, and in fact almost as many Red officers and soldiers died on this mountain road from Karachi to Khuzdar as there were in this battle of Karachi! When the Central Front of the Soviet Red Army joined forces with the Indus Front, which was tasked with a feint, on July 30, the total strength of the Soviet Red Army was less than 110,000 men!

"Stalin's Red Army was defeated under the city of Karachi! Now the future of the entire international communist movement depends on us Chinese GCD people! "Comrade Mao ZD's Hunan accent sounded through the GC International South Asian Army General Headquarters in Bhubaneswar. In the solemn announcement of the leader of the Chinese GCD, the originally noisy command and operations center suddenly quieted down, and even the telephone that had been ringing seemed to be quiet. Everyone turned their attention to Comrade Mao ZD, who had just walked in, and a sense of mission surged in everyone's hearts.

"Comrade Ye Ting, where has the Northbound Legion arrived now?" It was Mao Zd who broke the silence again, he strode to the map platform, and asked Ye Ting, who was staring down at the map: "After the Indian puppet army defeated Stalin's main force of the Red Army, it is very likely that it will be transferred to encircle and suppress us. ”

Ye Ting glanced at Mao Zd, who was full of excitement, and slowly pointed to the map: "The vanguard GC International Armored Division of the Northbound Corps has now advanced to Balasol, and it should be able to drive to Jelleswall tonight, in addition to Peng Dhuai and Liu."

The five main armies of the Beishang Corps under the command of Comrade Cheng will also be in place one after another in the next two days, and the artillery unit commanded by Comrade Zhu Rui will also be in place the night after tomorrow. In addition, the GC International Flight Division under the command of Comrade Feng Dafei will also be secretly stationed at the military airfield outside Balassol. All preparations for the offensive will be completed by July 24th, and 7 a.m. on the 24th is the time for the offensive to be launched!

According to the plan, first of all, the GC International Flying Division will also dispatch more than 100 aircraft to carry out a round of air strikes on the positions of the Indian army, and then we will use more than 500 large-caliber artillery pieces to carry out repeated shelling of the line deployed by the Indian army on the line from Gandy to Klegpur for 80 minutes! Then the assault of the armored forces, the whole battle plan was formulated according to the actual situation of the GC International South Asian Army after studying the latest mechanized war mode in the war in Europe that had just ended. It is definitely possible to crush the defenses of the Indian puppet army in the shortest possible time! ”

After listening to Ye Ting's introduction, a somewhat solemn expression appeared on Mao Zd's face, "More than 300 armored vehicles, more than 500 cannons, and more than 100 aircraft, this time we can be regarded as giving everything we have!" Although we are fully prepared and have concentrated an unprecedentedly large number of forces, we must not underestimate our enemies. This is a great battle that will determine the future and fate of the international communist movement. We Chinese GCD people can only win and not lose! Because we don't have the strength to raise an equally powerful army anymore! ”

His tone suddenly became heavy, "The financial, material and human resources we currently have are still very limited. Moreover, the current domestic situation (referring to China) and the constraints of the international situation have also determined that our large-scale military operation is a big gamble. If we do not lay a solid and rich territory in India, our military strength will not last, and the key to building a large piece of rich territory in India that can be used by the whole international community to recuperate and recuperate is to destroy a large number of the enemy's living forces, not to fight for the gains and losses of one city and one place! At present, the main force of the Indian Central Army is divided into two parts, of which about 500,000 troops are fighting the Soviet Red Army in the northwestern part of India, while we have only 300,000 Central Army and 400,000 local troops in front of us. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. If we can deliver a annihilating blow to the main forces of the Indian Eastern Front, we will be able to give our army an absolute superiority in the eastern part of India in a short period of time, and even if the Gandhi authorities transfer back their main forces on the Western Front, they will not dare to test our forces again. We can only watch us take the northeast of India, and even the whole of eastern India! We can only watch as we become stronger day by day on the South Asian subcontinent, and finally liberate the whole of South Asia! ”

These words have already pointed out the key to this battle in Northeast India, that is, to annihilate the main force of the Indian puppet army on the eastern front! As long as the main force of India's eastern front is annihilated, the authorities in New Delhi can be forced to abandon the northeast of India and even the entire eastern region, and the international communist movement and the Indian GCD will have a base sufficient for them to develop and grow!

Ye Ting nodded solemnly and said, "Please rest assured, Vice Chairman Mao, our army has the confidence and strength to deal a devastating blow to the main force of the Indian army on the eastern front under the city of Calcutta!" As he spoke, he slapped the map heavily and snorted coldly: "Now the main force of the Indian puppet army on the eastern front has set up a long snake formation of thousands of kilometers to block our revolutionary base area. And we adopted the tactic of attacking the north from the south, and mobilized all the mobile forces of the Indian puppet army on the eastern front to the southern front. And we only need to encircle Calcutta without fighting after breaking the blockade line in the northern part of the base area, so that we can attract the main force of the Indian puppet army on the eastern front to rush to the aid of the starry night, and our main force will be able to break them one by one near Calcutta! ”

What Ye Ting is talking about now is one of the several preparatory plans designated by the South Asian Army Command before the war, and it is also the one with the greatest appetite! This plan required the South Asian Army to break through the two armies deployed by the Indian puppet army in West Bengal and nearly 100,000 local troops with the main force, and then drive its remnants into Kolkata, the largest city in India, to surround it, so as to attract the rest of the main forces of the Indian army on the eastern front of India to come to reinforcements
