586. The Great Purge of the Soviet Union

"Captain, deputy captain Meng Kaihua sent an urgent call!" Liu Wanruo hurriedly returned not long after he went out: "The telegram said that he led a platoon of special operations to withdraw from Fangzheng County to the north of the Songhua River, and as a result, two teams were found in the east and west of Dailing, which were originally planned."

"After four days of covert investigation, there is a unit near Fengshan Town, north of Fangzheng County and west of Dailing, called the second detachment of the Jilin Mixed Brigade of the Chinese Self-Defense Force, commander Li Huatang."

"There is a team on the front line of the Tangwang River east of Dailing, which is called the 'Northeast Mountain Forest Volunteer Army', also known as the 'Mingshan Team', and the commander Qi Baotang. In addition, Zhang Jingfu, deputy captain of the brigade, led a squad to reconnoiter the area of Yilan County, and also discovered the activities of a troop, called the 'Peasant Volunteer Army', with more than 2,000 people, and the commander Xie Wendong. ”

"The third platoon of special operations was ordered to reconnoiter the vicinity of Bin County and Zhuhe County, and found a very well-organized troop activity, what is it called'Hadong Detachment of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Detachment', and the leader of the detachment is Zhao Shangzhi, whom the commander-in-chief values very much. However, Mei Jinghua, the commander of the third platoon, made up a reconnaissance and did not expose his target. ”

"After summarizing the intelligence, Deputy Captain Meng Kaihua found that these troops seemed to be moving in the direction of Fangzheng County and Yilan County. At present, the preliminary analysis conclusion is that these teams are likely to take tactical actions against Zhengxian County, Yilan County and Tangyuan County, and if they do not do it well, there will be a big battle. ”

"According to local villagers, there was a series of big battles in Fangzheng County, Yilan County, and Qitaihe three months ago, and Fangzheng County has been breached. However, Li Huatang's second detachment, Xie Wendong's peasant self-defense army, is said to have suffered heavy losses. Are they united again and want revenge? ”

Shi Liancheng marked it on the map and saw that his location was very bad!

If these troops really want to take action against Fangzheng County and Yilan County, Elephant Trunk Ridge and Twin Mountains happen to be a salient and the closest location to Fangzheng County.

If the garrison of the Fourth Military Region of the little devil Binjiang (Harbin) advances eastward along the Songhua River, the garrison of the Sixth Military Region of Mudanjiang goes north along the Mudanjiang River, and the garrison of the Seventh Military Region of Jiamusi advances west along the Songhua River, the special operations brigade will inevitably suffer from the disaster of the pond under the three-way attack!

"What does the boss mean, why did you let our special operations team insert here at this juncture?" Shi Liancheng was completely dizzy: "The boss has repeatedly explained that if the special operations team develops to engage in frontal battles, or even positional battles, it will be disbanded!" But now that people want to move, and I can't control it, what should I do? ”

"Damn, Lao Tzu is surrounded by enemies. If there are no other four-way people, Lao Tzu can still break through each of them. Now that all those guys are starting to move troops, our original step-by-step plan simply cannot be realized! will even lead the little devils to Lao Tzu's side, what should the special operations team do? ”

After summarizing this information, Shi Liancheng discovered that the situation in North Manchuria was not ordinarily bad, but very bad!

Shi Liancheng felt that the matter was a big deal, and he couldn't make a decision casually about where the special operations team should go, so he said to Liu Wanruo: "Send a telegram immediately, informing the two deputy captains and the three special operations platoon commanders to do their best to get back to Lao Tzu, and a meeting needs to be held immediately to study future contingency measures!" ”

Unexpectedly, at about half past nine in the evening two days later, Meng Kaihua and Zhang Jingfu, who rushed to Elephant Trunk Ridge to attend the meeting, not only arrived on time, but also brought a very strangely dressed person, which made Shi Liancheng stunned!

said that he was strange because this "woman" was too tall, almost a head taller than Shi Liancheng. Shi Liancheng's figure is about the same as Bai Shujie, close to 1.75 meters. This woman is almost 1.9 meters old, which is indeed a little strange. Although she wears the typical outfit of a typical Northeast girl, it doesn't fit no matter how you look at it. And after entering the cave, he always kept his head down.

Shi Liancheng didn't look at this strange man too much, but said to Meng Kaihua very angrily: "Who is this, where did you bring it from, don't you know our basic principles?" ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shi Liancheng's voice fell, the eccentric "woman" raised her head and said in standard Chinese: "Your Excellency the Commander: My name is Zhuravlasky, and I am the captain of the shallow-water heavy gunboat "Red Vostochny", and the commander of the 3rd Patrol of the Amur District Fleet in the Far East of the USSR. I need to meet your Supreme Commander and apply for asylum. ”

Shi Liancheng was taken aback by the change in front of him, and at the same time screamed in disbelief: "Are you a long-haired child? ”

Zhuravleski grabbed the turban off his head, revealing his blonde hair, and then nodded and said, "Yes, that's what you all call it here." Actually, my hair is the same as yours, it doesn't grow long. ”

"Slowly, slowly!" Shi Liancheng waved his hand: "Please sit down casually first, let me think about it, this thing is too weird!" Meng Kaihua, you are really fooling around, you don't send a telegram in advance to ask for instructions on such a big matter, and go back to settle accounts with you! Liu Wanruo hurriedly sent a telegram to the boss, saying that there was something to evacuate. ”

As soon as Zhuravlesky sat down on a stone, he suddenly jumped up when he heard others call him chicken silk: "Your Excellency, commander, it's not chicken silk, it's Zhuravlesky!" Also, I have important information to report, and it's too late to be late! ”

At this time, Liu Wanruo came over and said, "Zhuravlesky, are you a Bolshevik?" ”

When Zhuravlesky saw a little girl coming to him, he nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have applied for asylum." ”

Liu Wanruo's face suddenly turned cold: "So, you have betrayed the Soviets and Stalin?" ”

Shi Liancheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Stop! That's not something we should be concerned about! ”

After all, Shi Liancheng is the main general of the party, and he has experienced the test of life and death, although he did not figure out why this is, but he knows the details of Liu Wanruo.

Since Liu Wanruo followed Zhao Meiyan, she has become a thorough, determined, and unshakable *** member! When I heard that Zhuravlesky had betrayed the great Soviets, I was naturally furious! If it weren't for the fact that Shi Liancheng was here, he would have taken out his Browning pistol and shot it if he didn't do it well!

But Shi Liancheng didn't allow that to happen! Now that Zhuravlesky has come to apply for asylum, and it is said that there is important information, this issue cannot be disturbed in the slightest.

"Liu Wanruo: I now order you, as the captain of the special operations team, to immediately send an urgent telegram to the Chengde side!" Shi Liancheng said very sternly: "No matter what your beliefs are, but you know our military rules and discipline. No matter who it is, as long as it harms the interests of the front army, it is unforgivable! I hope you don't forget your responsibilities and don't go too far! ”

"Yes, Captain! I was wrong, there will be no next time in the future, and I ask you to draw up a message! ”

Liu Wanruo was suddenly startled, and sweat was already on her forehead. Before leaving, Zhao Meiyan repeatedly explained that in her daily work, she must strictly implement all the orders of the front army, absolutely must not interfere in any work of the front army, and her superiors do not need to obtain any information from the front army. Her words and deeds just now have had a very bad impact.

An hour later, the order personally issued by Bai Shujie arrived: "For the arrival of Comrade Zhuravlesky, the Rehe Front welcomes it!" Considering the long distance, I will move with your unit for the time being, and the special operations team will ensure his safety at any cost! ”

"As for the important information he mentioned, there are no more than two points: first, the Great Purge on the part of Moscow has begun to go deeper, and he and his relatives have already been included in the purge; Second, he should bring out at least one ship, and the key is to find out where to hide before reporting. ”

"In order to facilitate coordination in the future, after the study of the Front Army Command, Shi Liancheng was officially awarded the rank of colonel and the rank of major general. Meng Kaihua and Zhang Jingfu were awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel, the platoon leader and squadron leader of the special operations platoon were all awarded the rank of major, the deputy platoon commander and deputy squadron leader were given the rank of captain, the squad leader and squad leader were given the rank of lieutenant, and all members of the team were given the rank of second lieutenant. This order, Bai Shujie, Zhao Jinxi. ”

Shi Liancheng felt very strange when he saw such a telegram. Bai Shujie is thousands of miles away, and he actually knows what the purpose of people coming here is, it's incredible! However, there is nothing wrong with this, and now he has turned into a person, and he can already be called a "general"!

"Comrade Zhuravlesky, our commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief just sent a telegram." Shi Liancheng shook the telegram in his hand and said, "In order to completely reassure you, you can read this telegram yourself." Oh yes, do you know Chinese? ”

Ru Lalevsky nodded: "Although I can't write, but I have been here for more than ten years, but I know Chinese square characters!" ”

Shi Liancheng casually handed over the telegram: "Okay, you can see for yourself!" ”

"Oh my God!" As soon as Ralevsky took the telegram and looked at it, he was immediately shocked: "It turns out that you are the Rehe Front!" Seven years ago, it was because of you that we attacked Zhang Xueliang and fell short! The name of Commander-in-Chief Bai, that's really been admired for a long time! ”

"What, he actually knows about my qiē? Oh my God, it's incredible! Could it be that your Commander-in-Chief Bai, who is usually with God, knows everything? Well, well, since that's the case, then I'll make the specific situation clear to Mr. Major General! ”

It turned out that Ralevsky was the captain of the 3rd Patrol of the Amur District Flotilla of the Far Eastern Special Army, the captain of the shallow water heavy gunboat "Red East", with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

In the 1929 conflict of the Eastern Railway, although the shallow water heavy gunboat "Shirnov" was sunk, the fleet of the Northeast Army was basically wiped out. After that, for example, Lalevsky's "Red East" and another gunboat, the "Proletarian", formed a national border patrol to patrol the Amur River (Heilongjiang River) in the basin of Tarabarov Island (Bear Blind Island).

Last year, in 1934, following the assassination of Kirov (the reason for the assassination, 11 people out of 10 people speculated), Stalin began an earth-shattering "purge" (commonly known as the Great Purge).

For example, Ralevsky's father, who was the party secretary of a farm, was executed for some reason, and his mother was shot. Before his brother was captured, he was asked to send him a letter, telling him to flee quickly and find a way to take revenge in the future!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
