Chapter 751: Blood of July
Chapter 751: The Blood of July
The offensive of the vanguard army in the Far East was rapid.
As soon as Chita, which had been besieged for seven days, was overcome, the vanguard had already swept over Skovorodino, thousands of miles away, and began to turn south. Wei Lihuang's army went straight down the Trans-Siberian Railway to the southwest, attacking Hailan Pao, while Shang Zhen's army directly crossed the Heilongjiang River, conquered the Mohe River, and swept straight south.
At this time, Huang Huamin's army had just finished cleaning up the mess of Manchuria and Hailar.
The Japanese have operated Manchuria and Hailar for many years, and have gathered 100,000 troops here, and later 50,000 reinforcements from the Soviet Russian army are also nearby, and Huang Huamin's army is comparable to its strength, but the weapons and equipment are far superior to the other side. Coupled with the flexible adjustment and deployment, we found a gap in the unskilled cooperation between the Japanese and the Soviet Russians, and annihilated them separately.
Between Manchuria and Hailar, Huang Huamin used three sieges to send reinforcements, grinding down the defensive line of the Japanese army and the Soviet army little by little, and it took more than 20 days to gnaw this hard bone.
On the other hand, in the Far East Soviet Russia, in the face of Borja, which was almost 150,000 troops, Hu Minghe conquered it in eight days.
The Chita area, where 200,000 Soviet Russian troops were stationed, was besieged by two armies, Wei Lihuang and Shang Zhen, but it was only a seven-day siege to conquer the city.
It should be said that among these armies, Huang Huamin's 10th army is the strongest in terms of equipment and personnel, and it is so difficult to conquer Manchuria, in addition to the extreme stubbornness of the Japanese elite troops in Manchuria, the scruples of many Chinese civilians in Manchuria are also an aspect of Huang Huamin's caution.
And whether it was in Chita or Borja, under the instructions of Meng Xiang, the artillery shells and bombs of the vanguard army never hesitated to be injured by mistake, and directly wiped out one town and one area by artillery.
"It doesn't matter if it's blown up, we'll rebuild it!" Meng Xiang had already concluded that the vanguard army's attack this time was different from the attack on Siberia, not for capture, but for the rapid occupation of land.
Destruction was always relatively simple, and behind the ruins, the vanguard army swept through like a gust of wind.
At the beginning, although the Russians issued a general mobilization order, the Far Eastern Army was mixed with too many recruits and lacked the supply of military supplies, and the nearly 400,000 Soviet Russian troops could not adapt to the fierce artillery fire and sharp armored units of the vanguard army that suddenly launched an attack, and were directly defeated.
In this battle, which came to be known as Chita-Borja, the Soviet army suffered a crushing defeat, with 320,000 annihilated and less than 10,000 prisoners. The vanguard had no intention of taking prisoners at all, but in order to take care of the influence, more than 8,000 people were taken prisoner, which were given to the White Russians and spent in concentration camps.
In the process of fleeing, more than 60,000 other people were also constantly wiped out by the army and the National Guard formed by Chinese immigrants, but a group of Russian soldiers who fled to the Yablonov Mountains, that is, the Khingan Mountains, mixed with a group of Soviet Russian civilians, persisted for six years before they were cleared.
The Russians were serious and had the same crazy spirit.
As news of the killing and destruction spread, the vanguard encountered increasing resistance in the Far East. Under the threat of death, the Russians became even more tenacious. Casualties in the vanguard began to climb.
In the Chita-Borja campaign, the vanguard lost just over 40,000 casualties, while in the Battle of Hailan Pao, the vanguard lost 80,000 casualties. Although the Russians left the corpses of more than 400,000 soldiers and civilians in the Battle of Hailan Pao for more than 30 days, such losses have alerted Meng Xiang.
The lives of nearly 30,000 of these soldiers were lost not on the battlefield, but in attacks everywhere. The Russians were never sheep, and even though most of the old and weak were driven to concentration camps, there were still many stragglers and civilians who took up arms in the open fields.
In the windows of houses, in the cold streets, in the dense jungles, in the desolate fields, on every road, there are often cold guns and meat bullets of the Russians.
Towns and villages were bombarded into ruins by the artillery fire of the Vanguard, reducing the chances of the Russians to shoot coldly and causing more resistance.
There is no right or wrong in war. It's all about the survival of the fittest for the survival of the nation.
Thinking of the nuclear clouds that had hung over the heads of China for more than ten years in later generations, Meng Xiang also forgot the last bit of sympathy. In the peacetime of later generations, there was no urgency that a nuclear war could break out at any time, and I couldn't feel the sense of oppression that Lao Maozi was crazy about. At that time, no one doubted that Lao Maozi was just talking.
Meng Xiang didn't want to have the primitive accumulation of war preparedness, the big third line, etc., which consumed the youth of two generations of Chinese people, and he didn't want anyone to threaten the future security of China.
More domineering than the Americans, nip all threats in the bud, it's as simple as that!
Even if the resistance of the Russians was more violent, then crush all resistance with bigger stones.
So in July, the Vanguard was exposed to the scandal of massacring the city.
After being besieged by the three major legions for more than a month, in the end, except for more than 7,000 women and children who were sent to concentration camps by the White Russian army, the other nearly 300,000 soldiers and more than 300,000 residents were turned into corpses in the battle.
The condemnation of the Soviets and Russians crying out shocked the world, but it was immediately defused by a series of regretful notices of accidental injuries by the vanguard army, as well as the fact that the White Russians slaughtered and vented their anger with-stirring sticks.
The world at this time was not the era of peace in later generations, and war had already made people ignore death.
The many massacres that have erupted in the world have quickly diverted people's attention.
Reports of the Germans' massacres of Jews have become commonplace, and not many people blame much in a time when all of Europe is anti-Semitic.
Although the more than one million killings in the German concentration camps have not yet been revealed, on the battlefield in Moscow, millions of lives have been filled on both sides.
And in July, the eyes of the world were not Moscow, which the Russians still stubbornly held onto, but Leningrad, which was captured by the Germans.
The red cradle, which had been held for more than 900 days in the previous life, was finally captured.
The heavy artillery bombardment of three super-battleships in the Baltic Sea, the bombing attack of two aircraft carriers at close range, the city-wide bombardment of more than 300 rocket launchers, the intensive attack of 6,000 guns, and the earth-shattering debut of the 800 mm Dora cannon with 7.1 tons of concrete-destroying shells were just an episode in the Battle of Leningrad.
But the passage of Lake Ladoga, which has been cut off since last winter, has put on a final aria for Leningrad.
Having lost material support from the outside world, Leningrad, which was extremely short of supplies, even spent a brilliant and warm spring in eating dead bodies.
Food and medicine can rely on the spiritual victory of man plus the consumption of cannon fodder, but without enough weapons and ammunition, the teeth and bricks of the Russians can clearly no longer stop the advance of German tanks.
On July 14, the last broken position of Leningrad was trampled by German boots, and the red cradle was completely overturned.
In more than a year, more than 400,000 people died of starvation and freezing in Leningrad, more than 200,000 civilians died of disease and artillery fire, more than 500,000 young Soviet Russian soldiers died on this land, and then after the German occupation, more than 100,000 lives disappeared in concentration camps and purges.
People have forgotten for the time being about Moscow, which was still engaged in a tug-of-war in the Kremlin, and did not notice that there was a place called Stalingrad in the south of Soviet Russia, where millions of troops were gathering on both sides, not to mention Boli, a place far from the center of the world at this time.
Speaking of gore, the sky of the whole world is filled with scarlet colors.
Turkey and Russia have also left more than a million casualties under the Caucasus Mountains, but the two sides are still at a stalemate, and the Baku oil fields still seem to be a little far away from the Turks.
The Japanese had already occupied Calcutta in June, and in the frenzied raids, more than 200,000 lives were obscured by the color of gold, but it deterred the spirit of resistance of the Asan. In July, the Japanese advanced again and captured Patna.
The same Japanese suppressed a nationwide armed uprising of the usually honest Filipinos at the end of June, and after the crackdown ended in early July, there were no detailed reports of casualties, but the population of Manila and other places in the Philippines disappeared by more than a million.
The June riots also started in Vietnam, but they quickly subsided after the Japanese wiped out more than 300,000 people.
The rebellion was not only under the rule of the Japanese, but also the indigenous armed rebellion in Australia continued to spread, and when the Australian army disappeared a division of the strength of Mount Aisa, and the news of the slaughter of 50,000 people in Mount Aissa, the whole Western world was really shocked.
