His father Lin Yueqing, brother Lin Qingfo, sister Lin Baozhu, and his wife Wang Jingyi were all looking at him with grinning faces.Although Lin Yurong and the four of them hadn't seen each other for six or seven years, they sat down with him, chatted about the daily routine, as if they saw each other every day.He looked at them with interest, and they looked at him, too, for so much had changed.Lin Yueqing, who once worked as a shop assistant and accountant in Hankou, is now the chairman of Lin Jinghua Cloth Factory.Lin Yurong's eldest brother, Lin Qingfo, is quick-witted and good at management. He is the general manager of Lin Jingjing Cloth Factory.But the biggest change is Lin Yurong's second sister, Lin Baozhu, who is widowed and has two children. Now she looks like a baroness in Vladivostok, wearing gorgeous clothes and expensive clothes. jewelry!In fact, she is the largest shareholder of Lin Jinghua Cloth Factory. More than half of the capital to open this cloth factory is the inheritance of her deceased husband, and the rest is the settling allowance issued by the Military Intelligence Bureau to Lin Yurong. Now this part of the shares is recorded in Under the name of Lin Yurong's wife Wang Jingyi... This country girl who used to be rustic and not loved by Lin Yurong, is now dressed up as a bright and charming enchanting woman. She wears a wine-red velvet sleeveless cheongsam with a A mink shawl, holding an ivory-carved folding fan, with a graceful figure, just like a beauty in a lady's picture slowly appearing!

During the conversation with them, Lin Yurong knew that although his cloth factory only produced some low-end products, it had done a great business in recent years, and its products sold well in the Huguang area.Therefore, the Lin family has changed from a well-to-do family in the countryside to the most common nouveau riche in China right now!He is also one of the richest merchants in Huanggang City, Hubei.The two women, Lin Baozhu and Wang Jingyi, are now naturally rising. Lin Baozhu, who has made a fortune, is now a famous lady in Huanggang City. This enchanting woman in her 30s actually has a suitor!And he was a Jewish doctor who fled from Germany.As for Wang Jingyi... Lin Yurong should be more careful!Due to loneliness and boredom, this little rich woman is now an active member of the circle of socialites in Wuhan. She holds parties in the mansion by the East Lake every now and then. Invited to attend!

But what surprised Lin Yurong the most was that his family didn't know that China was actually at war with the Soviet Union!They asked a lot of very childish questions about the Far Eastern war that Lin Yurong was participating in.They seemed to think that Lin Yurong was just the Russian empress' military adviser, and they didn't know that their country had already invested 20 troops on the Far East battlefield!And it has been fighting the Soviet Red Army for a year and several months!Despite the horrific reports of the Bolsheviks in newspapers and magazines, the Chinese still know so little about the war that is being fought on their doorstep, that even those who hang out with Wehrmacht officers or their families all day long Wang Jingyi didn't know anything about China's participation in the war!And after hearing about the war from Lin Yurong, the topics they cared about were whether Lin Jingjing's cloth could be sold to Vladivostok, or whether Empress Anastasia and Natalie Lesinskaia would meet each other. Than, who is more beautiful?

"If, as you said, China is already at war with the Soviet Union, can we win?" Lin Qingfo said.In the past, he only knew that an army that betrayed the CCP was lured by Trotsky to participate in the Soviet Civil War, but he didn't know that this army had now been reorganized by the Wehrmacht.

"From the perspective of the military strength of the two countries, the two sides should be evenly matched, and even the Soviet Union is stronger; fortunately, we are not fighting alone, and Germany, Poland, Japan, Britain, France and other countries are with us. But Our side also has shortcomings, the Soviet Union has now gone all out for the war, and announced a general mobilization at the beginning of this year, but we are still under a peaceful system..."

At this time, a waiter came over and asked Lin Yurong to answer the phone.A sweet, sweet female voice came from the microphone: "Is this Lieutenant General Lin Yurong? Welcome to Wuhan. I am Colonel Natalie Lesinskaya. We met in Qiqihar and Vladivostok .”

"Yes, Colonel, we met at a reception in Vladivostok not long ago." Lin Yurong tried his best to suppress the astonishment in his voice.He didn't know that he was also under the surveillance of Military Intelligence when he was eating with his family.

There was a silver-like laughter on the phone: "I remember that at the reception that day, all the generals were trying to get me drunk with vodka, except you...you don't drink strong alcohol, right? Then tomorrow's It’s okay to serve a little champagne for Tong Fushuai’s lunch, right?”

"No problem. When is tomorrow? Where?"

"A car will pick you up at your home in Donghu tomorrow morning. The meeting place is Beilu. Tomorrow is Sunday... By the way, Chiang Kai-shek will also attend the luncheon to welcome you. It seems that tomorrow's appointment is very important."

"Important, I see. Do I have anything to prepare for this?"

"Then I don't know. Please put on the lieutenant general's uniform. Then, I will pick you up at 09:30."

"Yes, Colonel."

He went back to the table and drank some more beer.Continue to chat with the family about domestic or Vladivostok anecdotes.But in his heart, he began to think about how to impress Luo Yaoguo and Chiang Kai-shek tomorrow.His mission in Wuhan was to persuade the top brass of the Wehrmacht to support the summer offensive plan jointly formulated by him and the commanders of the Japanese and Russian armies in Vladivostok.He knew that the real intention of the top brass of the Wehrmacht was not to help the Romanov dynasty seize the entire Far East, but to turn the Far East into a bleeding wound of the Soviet Union.But he really wanted to have a good fight with the Soviet Red Army!

……

The door opened.Natalie said with a smile, "Yurong, come in."

Luo Yaoguo, who was wearing a green cloth gown, waved to him from behind the desk: "Yurong! Welcome to Wuhan!" His tone was very kind, with a kind smile on his face: "Put the file bag on the table Come on, Yu Rong, please sit down. I heard that there is a large-scale attack plan inside, is it?" Natalie walked in with two cups of fragrant coffee at this time, and after she arranged the coffee, she did not leave. Instead, he stood behind Luo Yaoguo.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, here is an attack plan. It took us several weeks of haggling with the Japanese and Russians to come up with such a thing."

"By the way, there will be Germans participating in the future, Natalie, give him the plan about the Condor Legion sent by the Germans."

Natalie walked to a large cabinet in the office, and from a pile of folders that looked exactly the same, she randomly took out an unmarked folder, placed it in front of Lin Yurong, and opened it.This is a document printed out in German. Under each line of German, there is a Chinese translation written in a pen. The handwriting is very beautiful, and it should be written by Natalie.

Lin Yurong picked up the folder and read it carefully until he finished reading every word, then closed the folder, thought for a while and said, "If the Germans can really send the Condor Legion to the Far East before June , they may catch up with the summer offensive. I think our chances of winning will increase a lot with them around."

"Win? Ha, ha, ha!" Luo Yaoguo laughed and raised his head: "Natalie, the Chief of Staff of our Far East Front Army seems not to understand the strategic significance of this Far East War, you should talk to him."

Natalie nodded with a smile, and said, "General Yurong, our strategy in the Far East is to train the troops, restrain the enemy, consume the enemy, and paralyze the enemy... and the enemies here include the Soviet Union, Japan, the United Kingdom, France and others. Russian Empire!"

"The student understands what the assistant commander means..." Lin Yurong frowned, and the guess in his heart was confirmed. The Far East War was obviously another trap set by Luo Yaoguo for the Soviet Union, Japan, Britain and other countries!

Chapter 0679 Volunteer Army ([-]) General Peng

"Hehe, very good, very good. I think you know how to modify this plan, right? Yurong." Luo Yaoguo glanced at Natalie standing behind him, the beauty smiled faintly, and left the room .Luo Yaoguo opened the document bag that Lin Yurong brought, took out the bound battle plan from it, and looked at it at a glance: "Yurong, how is the situation in Vladivostok?"

How to answer this question?Lin Yurong understood what he meant from Luo Yaoguo's tone: "We, the Japanese and the Russians are trying to pretend to be very united, at least in public, Assistant Commander."

"What, pretending to be very united? According to my opinion, the three parties should still have some common interests right now?"

Lin Yurong pondered for a while, carefully choosing his words: "The Japanese and the Russians may have common interests, but it is difficult for us to find anything in common with them. In the eyes of the Russians, our Chinese ambition is to turn Russia back into a European country." , and Japan only wants a small piece of land in the Far East at most, and after getting the Far East, Japan can help Russia contain us. The British and French in Vladivostok seem to have the same point of view, so we compare in Vladivostok isolated."

"So you just want to fight hard to win their approval?" Luo Yaoguo was still flipping through the battle plan, but his face became serious. It was obvious that the battle plan didn't meet his wishes.

"Yes, the Russians and the Japanese should look at us differently if we play well in this summer offensive."

Luo Yaoguo shook his head: "You don't understand international politics. There are only permanent interests between countries, and there are no permanent friends. Not to mention Japan and Russia, even Germany... If we lose the power to restrain them, it will also be harmful to us. ! For Japan, Russia, and Britain and France, the last thing they want to see now is to lose the power to restrain us...so you don't let them see it."

"Students don't know much about politics, but the assistant commander, our strength is so obvious. Even if we are not outstanding on the battlefield in the Far East, I think Britain, France, Japan and Russia can still see it."

Luo Yaoguo said again in a mocking voice: "They don't want to see it! People are always prone to see what they want to see in their hearts, and for things they don't want to see in their hearts, unless they clearly appear in front of them, they will It will definitely be ignored!" As he said that, he gently closed the battle plan, and smiled: "It's a very good plan, and all aspects of the problem are well considered. If it can be implemented to 50.00%, the Soviet Union will It will retreat to the north of the Amur River. But we can't let Stalin lose so ugly! We have to release water, and we have to make it difficult to detect... Yurong, can you complete this special mission? This will make the Your wisdom is compromised."

"Assistant Marshal, please rest assured that the students can complete the task!" Lin Yurong stood up with a bang, and gave a military salute to Luo Yaoguo.

"Well, very good! Please sit down, sit down." Luo Yaoguo said, took a sip of coffee and took a sip. It was the sound of high-heeled leather shoes hitting the marble floor outside the door, followed by a sweet voice. Female voice: "Fu Wen, Chiang Kai-shek and Mrs. Chiang have arrived."

Luo Yaoguo stood up, straightened his long gown, and said with a smile, "Yurong, come with me to meet Chiang Kai-shek. He is the first headmaster of the Whampoa Military Academy, but you may not have seen him in the fourth term."

……

June 1933.Soviet Far East, Ussuriysk Front.

Comrade Peng Dehuai saw through the binoculars that the black soil stirred up by the shells hit the trenches of the Soviet Red Army like raindrops.He is also a senior general who has experienced many battles. It can be said that he has been fighting since he joined the Hunan Army in his youth until 1931, but he was shocked by such continuous and fierce shelling!Although I was in a shelter three kilometers behind the battlefield, I still felt like the sky had collapsed. It was really hard to imagine how those Soviet Red Army soldiers huddled in the trenches endured it!What surprised him even more was that it was the intervention army sent by the Chinese Kuomintang authorities that was bombarding the defensive zone in front of him!

Comrade Peng Dehuai is now a member of a military delegation of the Communist Party of China. He was invited by the Soviet Union to come to the Far East to watch the battle!Of course, Stalin's original intention was not to let Peng Dehuai and comrades from the Communist Party of other countries watch the Soviet Red Army being beaten. In the plan of the Soviet Far East Front Army, they also planned to launch an offensive in June, striving to break through the Xiedanka line of defense in one fell swoop and seize of Vladivostok.

But what caught them off guard was that the enemy army, who had been shy for nearly eight months, actually launched a counterattack this time before the Soviet Red Army launched an attack!First, a series of important strongholds on the coast of the Far East and North Sakhalin were occupied by the Russian White Army flying the tricolor flag, and then Nikolaevsk, an important port at the mouth of the Amur River, was jointly occupied by the Japanese fleet and the Russian White Army. seize.Then there was a large-scale landing. According to reports sent back by intelligence personnel lurking in Nikolayevsk, starting from June [-]th, tens of thousands of white troops were transported to Japan by Japanese ships flying the rising sun flag every day. Nikolaevsk, and with them there was a Luftwaffe unit!

Sensing that something was wrong, Tukhachevsky, the commander of the Far Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army, hastily dispatched troops from the front line of Vladivostok to Amursk, an important town in the middle reaches of the Amur River, for defense.But at this time, the intervention forces of China and Japan launched an offensive on the front line of Vladivostok.Three Japanese battleships sailed directly into the Amursky Bay and bombarded the Soviet Red Army positions north of the Shedanka Line of Defense with 356mm cannons. At the same time, the Chinese Air Force stationed in Vladivostok also sent bombers to bombard the Soviet Red Army positions indiscriminately!Then the infantry of the Chinese and Japanese armies launched a full-line counterattack under the cover of tanks and heavy artillery... However, the Soviet Far East Front Army did not stick to its position blindly, but took the initiative to retreat to the front line of Vladivostok, far away from the threat of Japanese naval guns, and retreated to the front line of Vladivostok. The preset position on the front line of Ussuriysk was firmly held.Subsequently, hundreds of thousands of troops from China, Japan, and the Soviet Union launched a tug-of-war on the front line of Ussuriysk.It was at this time that Peng Dehuai and his CCP military observation team obtained permission from the Soviet Union to arrive at the Ussuriysk front to watch the battle.

After observing the front line of Ussuriysk for a few days, Peng Dehuai soon discovered that the combat methods here are completely different from those wars experienced in the country in the past!In his view, the Soviet Red Army and their opponents did not pay much attention to covering up their combat intentions, and did not seem to care about the suddenness of the battle. It can be said that they rarely used tricks, but made their intentions open from the beginning Get in front of your opponents!Almost none of the domestic methods of campaign fraud and concealing the truth have been used!Just the firepower preparation before the attack is launched, often it will last for two or three days!Two to three thousand artillery pieces fired hundreds of thousands of shells and repeatedly bombarded the main breakthrough zone, almost razing it to the ground!But this is also telling the opponent that there will be an all-out attack, and the opponent's reserve team will naturally concentrate there!

However, the material preparations made by the three countries of China, Japan, and the Soviet Union for a breakthrough in a battle are beyond the imagination of the CCP.The hundreds of thousands of troops were orderly, and after a series of complex scheduling and preparations, they used various well-organized means of transportation to transport troops and supplies here.Every day, dozens of military trains filled with various materials arrive in Ussuriysk, and tens of thousands of carriages are used to move these materials to the designated locations.Astronomical amounts of weapons, ammunition, food, medicine, and military equipment have all been stockpiled.Various command posts were quickly established, connected together with a spider web-like dense communication network.What is even more surprising is the heavy firearms they prepared for the battle.An artillery division equipped with 72 152mm howitzers, in the eyes of Peng Dehuai and his comrades, is already surprisingly powerful.But on the Ussuriysk defense line of the Soviet Red Army, it seems that behind every trench, there are rows and rows of "God of War" pointing their heads up to the southern sky! 76.2mm field guns, 122mm howitzers, 152mm howitzers, 203mm heavy guns, even 280mm super-heavy train guns, and 305mm heavy cannons transformed from naval guns all appeared in the CCP observation team from time to time. In sight! More than 2000 light and heavy artillery, while showing the great achievements of the Soviet Union's first five-year plan, also gave Peng Dehuai and other comrades in the Chinese military delegation a new understanding of war in the industrialized age!

But the Soviet Red Army with such a powerful artillery force is now being beaten passively!Because among their enemies, the imperialist and Japanese imperialist intervention forces have equally powerful artillery and endless shells. In addition, they also have a powerful air force that can overwhelm the Soviet Red Air Force!There are always hundreds of biplanes with the blue sky and white sun mark or the red sun mark circling in the sky above the Soviet army's front. Any Soviet artillery position that fires for more than 5 minutes will definitely encounter air strikes and artillery counterattacks!As for the Soviet Union, anything that can fly is afraid to go to the sky now!Because there is a monoplane that should have just been put into use and has completely ruled the blue sky. Although Peng Dehuai has never seen this kind of plane with his own eyes, he heard from Cuikov, a senior staff officer of the Soviet Far East Front who accompanied him to watch the battle, that the fuselage and The blue sky and white sun marks are also painted on the wings!

……

Behind the Ussuriysk line of defense, in a small Soviet village on the east bank of the Ussuri River.This village is only a few kilometers away from the Sino-Soviet border. At this time, the residents have been evacuated long ago. I just don’t know whether they retreated to Vladivostok or Khabarovsk?Now there is only a regiment headquarters of the Soviet Red Army infantry regiment stationed here, and a group of revolutionaries from China were also temporarily placed here by the Far Eastern Front Army Command.Just live in that small house that is lit by oil lamps every night until late at night.

Peng Dehuai, who had observed the whole day at the front line, and the main members of the CCP delegation were sitting around the table at the moment.Looking at a one-fifty-thousandth military map, summarizing what I have seen and heard today, and studying the direction of this Far East war.After that, a report must be written and sent to the Central Revolutionary Military Commission in Baotou through the delegation's radio station.

"The situation is not too bad. At least the Kuomintang and the Japanese haven't broken through the Soviet Red Army's line of defense, especially the Kuomintang...Although their firepower is quite fierce, the infantry attack is not very good. It is a bit weak, and it seems that morale is not very good. Gao... Such a war of aggression is always unpopular!"

While smoking a cigarette, Peng Dehuai commented on what he saw and heard today, with no joy or anger visible on his serious face.

Feng Dafei laughed and said: "It's a pity that I didn't see the rumored monoplane fighter jet. I asked the surviving Soviet Red Air Force pilots, and they had a very high evaluation of this kind of aircraft, and they all thought it was no less than the Soviet fighter jet they flew. ...Uh, this means that this kind of aircraft is at least a lot stronger than the ones they pilot. This time the Soviet Red Army was passive because of this kind of aircraft, and we must also pay attention to it. In addition, their artillery is also very powerful. Take advantage of the powerful firepower and high accuracy, I am afraid it is not inferior to the artillery of our border guards!"

Peng Dehuai waved his hand indifferently: "Comrade Dafei, why are you talking like those Soviet comrades? Really, we communists still have to seek truth from facts! The Kuomintang's air force and artillery are far above us. The border guards are no match either. But we also have an advantage! It is the fearless spirit of the revolutionary army! The Kuomintang army does not have this spirit, nor does it deserve it! So we are not afraid of them, and the final victory must belong to us, to the Chinese people! "

Feng Dafei smiled, he knew what Peng Dehuai was thinking.Not long ago, Stalin and the Comintern issued a call to the Communist Party and the working class all over the world, demanding that the proletarians of the world unite to defend the Soviet Union and the red regime at all costs!This means that if the Communist Party of the world wants to support Soviet Russia, it is best to send volunteers to participate in the Far East War!And the help of the CCP, the world's second largest Communist Party with 20 troops and six provinces, is naturally what the Soviet Union most hopes for!

Regarding this suggestion, the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China had two opinions. One opinion was represented by Zhang Xueliang, chief of staff of the border guards. His opinion was that the Communist Party of China should not send troops to aid the Soviet Union, but should continue to remain neutral and wait for opportunities... This This view was supported by most of the comrades in the Central Committee; another opinion was Mao Zedong’s opinion, he felt that sending volunteers to the Soviet Union was an excellent opportunity for the CCP to strengthen its own strength, because the volunteer army organized by the CCP would definitely require the Soviet Union to provide Equipment and supplies, so that the CCP’s army can be supported with Soviet weapons and food, and this army can also be trained to be an elite in the Far East battlefield!It was under such circumstances that the military delegation led by Peng Dehuai came to the Far East to watch the battle. Every report he made was a vital reference for the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, which is currently hesitating.And now listening to what Peng Dehuai said, it seems that he is also inclined to send troops!

"Mr. Peng, Napoleon once said that three parts of spirit are equal to one part of material. How much spirit do we Chinese Communists have to offset their almost endless material?" Feng Dafei's implication is obvious, he is not in favor of sending troops , nor believe that a pilot with high morale can fly a biplane F-1A fighter jet to shoot down an F-3A pilot with low morale.

"Comrade Dafy, we are just military observers. Our task is to truthfully reflect the situation on the battlefield in the Far East to the central government! Now the Soviet Red Army is indeed holding the Ussuriysk line of defense with inferior forces and firepower. This shows that imperialism is not impossible. If it is defeated, the war of aggression is also unpopular!" Peng Dehuai just smiled faintly.

……

At the moment, in the compound of the CPC Central Committee Headquarters in Baotou, Suiyuan, the small courtyard where Mao Zedong lived was also dimly lit.Cai Hesen, the CCP’s representative to the Communist International who returned from Moscow, entered Mao Zedong’s office this afternoon, and the two talked until late at night.

"What's the situation in the Soviet Union?" Mao Zedong asked, lighting a cigarette.
