I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 453

Although Konev, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army in the four cities in North Asia, tried every means to open up several secret passages, the transportation volume was very limited, and he had to choose between food and weapons. Although he was heartbroken, Konev finally He still chose weapons, and he tried his best to transport weapons, equipment, ordnance and ammunition from the outside to the four cities in North Asia through several secret passages. The army is strictly controlled, and only the army is supplied. The hungry and crazy civilians are desperately looking for anything to satisfy their hunger. Birds, mice, fish in rivers and lakes, pets... are all eaten up, and then there is Weeds and bark, some survivors described it this way: "...people so hungry that their eyes turned red and green looked for something to eat everywhere, they rushed to climb trees to dig out bird nests, made bird nets to catch birds, and used Birds were shot with slingshots, and dirty rats became food. People rushed to catch rats, even crawling into the sewers to catch them. Some people flocked to completely frozen streams, lakes, and ponds. The hungry people were impatient. After fishing, they broke through the ice layer one after another, caught fish with fishing nets in the freezing water, and even frogs, snakes, and ants became food in people's mouths.

After the locust-like crowd ate up the animals, they began to eat edible plants. There were bare tree trunks everywhere, because the bark was stripped and eaten, and the leaves were also eaten, and the weeds were even swept away. Some people eat all kinds of leather products such as leather shoes and belts. After eating all these, there is really nothing left to eat.

Although these messy things can fill the stomach, they have greatly harmed people's health. Constipation and blood in the stool are common. He vomited blood profusely. In order to compete for food, people fought fiercely. For a bird egg, a handful of fish bones, and a dead mouse, they were beaten to death. The price of food on the black market skyrocketed, but soon there was no food on the black market. Banknotes and gold and silver have become worthless waste, a gold necklace can not be exchanged for a piece of bread, many women have to sell their bodies, but this kind of thing finally disappeared, because there is nothing like filling the stomach What's more important, you can live only if you have something to eat, this is the first and only thing, nothing more!"

The desperate Soviets began to flee from the four North Asian cities like an avalanche. Thousands of people wanted to surrender to the besieging Chinese army, but the Chinese army refused to accept their surrender.

Although this move violated the rules set by Jiang Weiguo, the situation in the four cities in North Asia is special. The Chinese army blocked so many Soviets in the four cities in North Asia to eliminate the Soviet army in the four cities in North Asia by means of starvation. In addition, the Chinese army drove in a steady stream of Soviets. How could they release the Soviets inside? Unless Konev led his troops to surrender, the attitude of the Chinese army towards the four cities in North Asia was "only allowed to enter, not allowed to enter." If the surrender of millions of Soviets is accepted, such a huge burden will be transferred from the Soviet army to the Chinese army.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the siege, Jiang Fusheng, sternly ordered that "the surrender of the Soviets will not be accepted, and the Soviets who come to surrender and try to break out of the siege will be killed without mercy, regardless of whether they are soldiers or civilians." Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Soviets who wanted to surrender and want to come out were shot and killed. This happened every day: a large number of Soviets ran out, knelt down in unison, kept kowtow, kept Begging for mercy, wailing loudly, and crying loudly, it is estimated that the Soviets knew that kowtow in Chinese culture represented the most humble begging, so they adopted this method with Chinese characteristics to ask for a way out.

Although many Chinese officers and soldiers felt unbearable, the answer to these Soviets was a storm of bullets. The blood of the killed Soviets was spattered three feet, and countless corpses covered the ground and piled up into hills, and then were covered by heavy snow. , forming a series of undulating "human flesh snow mountains".

Luo Zhuoying wrote in his diary:

"Today, about 47 Soviets appeared in the vicinity of intersection [-]. They walked towards our army's blockade line with numb mechanical steps, and walked into the range of our army's machine guns. Our army translator ordered these Soviets to return to the four North Asian cities in Russian. Otherwise, these Soviets turned a deaf ear, standing blankly one by one, and no one dodged when our machine guns fired, just like that, silently facing the machine guns, as if death was at home .

Afterwards, I analyzed that these Soviets were all willing to die. They would starve to death inside the city and be beaten to death outside the city. Instead of slowly starving to death in pain, it would be better to be shot to death by machine guns and get relief. !"

"...More and more annoying things are happening.

Today, when I inspected a certain division, I discovered that a battalion commander of the division was having sex with a Russian woman in her residence. Young children are seriously ill, so they are willing to sell themselves in exchange for medicine.

The battalion commander claimed that the move was not rape and did not violate military discipline.

I checked repeatedly, and the situation made me feel smokey. This incident has become common in some troops. Many Russian women have fled and exchanged their bodies for food, medicine, etc. Because Jiang Weiguo ordered the besieging troops not to accept the Soviets in the city. It is unbearable to not dare to take in those Russian women, but to secretly trade their flesh and blood with them, only exchanging a steamed bun or a few pills.

...The thing that made me even more angry was still to come. An ordinary soldier in a certain army mailed items back home. There were more than a dozen gold rings, several gold necklaces and other valuables in the package. After investigation, these gold jewelry were all The soldier had come in exchange for food with the Soviets, and it had become the norm.

Inside the blockade, the Soviets used valuables such as gold, silver and jewelry to trade food with some officers and soldiers of our army. Often a piece of bread could be exchanged for a gold ring, and a can of pork could be exchanged for a gold necklace. Such huge profits made many officers and soldiers endure Can't help but be moved.

Military discipline is corrupt, so it is!Must be severely punished! ..."

Due to the "iron cage" tactics of the Chinese army, the Soviets in the four cities in North Asia starved to death, and countless people died. After eating all the edible things, cannibalism became the only choice for the Soviets.

Many cemeteries were dug up at night, and the dead bodies were dragged out. Due to the low temperature in winter, the dead bodies were intact and did not rot. When they were found, there were large pieces of incisions. The flesh of the arms, thighs, and buttocks were cut away by the hungry people. On the ground, the newly dead have also become food. Due to the extreme shortage of food, most people are malnourished, and their walking is shaky. Eating in the mouth, and later, even some old and weak women and children who were still alive were murdered, dismembered after death, and the body parts were eaten.

There are too many scary scenes to enumerate.

After receiving the report, Konev formed several militia divisions to maintain order and prevent this kind of tragedy of people competing for food, but it was useless because the members of the militia divisions were also extremely hungry.

Luo Zhuoying reminded Jiang Fusheng more than once: "Have we gone too far? Let the Soviets in the encirclement have no way out. Don't you know that when a group of people are completely desperate, they will be as crazy and ruthless as beasts?" Afraid of death?"

Jiang Fusheng disagreed: "Joke! Even if those Soviets are forced to become beasts by us, so what? They are staggering with hunger, not only running out of food, but also running out of ammunition. Enough bullets? But they don't have even one of those two.

It is said that Lao Maozi is a polar bear. A strong polar bear who is full must not be taken lightly, but a polar bear that is dying of starvation is just a mangy dog!I have already sent a report to the Second Young Master, requesting that you, Commander Luo, use your four army groups as the strength to directly recover the four cities in North Asia!Anyway, the millions of Soviets inside have been so hungry that they don’t even have the strength to fart. Even if our army is not very good at tough battles, it will be easy to win the four cities in North Asia right now! "

Luo Zhuoying was very surprised and worried at the same time. There is no doubt that the Soviets in the four cities in North Asia hated the Chinese army besieging the city at this time. It has reached the point where "the people are not afraid of death, so how can they fear it with death".

The Soviets in the four cities in North Asia, first, were not afraid of death at all, and second, they hated the Chinese army that besieged the city. If they launched a large-scale breakthrough and counterattack, the situation can be imagined.

Luo Zhuoying's only consolation was that the Soviet army in the four North Asian cities was not strong in terms of weapons and equipment, and it was okay for defensive and defensive battles, but not enough for offensive and field battles.

The fact quickly told Luo Zhuoying: he was wrong.

Chapter 528 Big Avalanche (8)

From the evening of February 22th to the early morning of February 20th, a large-scale field battle broke out between the Chinese and Soviet armies in the Tara area in the north of Champion City. The Nanjing Army suffered more than 700 casualties, including more than 1000 dead. The Soviet army suffered more than [-] casualties, of which more than [-] died, and the Soviet army also lost more than [-] tanks and more than [-] artillery pieces. The casualties and losses were extremely heavy.

At the same time as this battle, in the early morning of February [-]th, in Novosibirsk, where the general headquarters of the Soviet Eastern Military Region (four cities in North Asia) was located, Konev, Malankin, Susaikov, Vatutin, Cuikov and other senior Soviet troops The generals are holding an emergency meeting.

"Comrades!" Konev declared with tears in his eyes, "the time has come to fight back!"

The Soviet generals who participated in the meeting all had eyes as firm as iron.

"It's all worth it to endure so much suffering!" Konev couldn't help crying, "Everything is for victory! Victory must belong to us!" His heart was as heavy as a boulder. A pawn in the hinterland of the Nanjing Army-occupied area. In order to maintain this pawn for a long time and to allow itself to play its maximum role, the four North Asian cities paid a very heavy price. The place originally had a population of more than 500 million. Over the past month or so, more than 500 million people have been forcibly driven into China by the Chinese army, bringing the total population to more than 1000 million, but now there are only more than 700 million people, because more than 300 million people have died, starved to death, or are fleeing. They were beaten to death by the besieging Chinese army, or became food in the mouths of others during the Great Famine.

The word "hell" is not enough to describe what happened in the four cities in North Asia, because almost all the survivors eat human flesh.

At this time, the four cities in North Asia are under military control during wartime, and all supplies including food are strictly rationed. Everyone eats in collective canteens, and each collective canteen is "...actually a human meat processing facility." The factory", these horrors and shocks that outsiders can't imagine or even dare to imagine, are already commonplace in the four cities of North Asia.

Some survivors recalled: "...People are executed by the army every day. Among the executed people, there are very few criminals, because there are no thieves and robbers, there is nothing to steal or rob, and there are almost no rapists. Too hungry to do other things, most people just sit and fall asleep all day long to save energy. People who are executed are basically lunatics, people who have been driven crazy. To survive in the four cities of North Asia, in addition to overcoming hunger, one must also overcome the psychologically unbearable fear and nausea. No one can really eat human flesh as if nothing had happened. Many people went crazy, and finally He was executed by the army, one was to reduce the population and save food, and the other was to 'make food'.

What needs to be explained is that the army does not use bullets when executing lunatics, because bullets are precious, so the methods adopted are hacking to death with machetes, axes, hammers, etc.

There are also many people who commit suicide. They neither want to eat nor be eaten, so they commit suicide. In order to prevent their bodies from becoming food for others, those who commit suicide will find a remote place in advance and end their lives .

... "

"We will completely return all the sufferings imposed on us by the Chinese!" Susaikov's eyes turned red.

"Comrade Marankin, tell us about our combat readiness!" Konev looked at Marankin.

Ma Lanjin looked solemn: "For more than four months, we have been trying to supplement it. Except for the remote road, we bribed more than a dozen senior generals in the Chinese army with a lot of money and opened up four secret passages successively. Because the wind and snow are very frequent. , coupled with the cover of the primeval forest and the method of day and night travel, those transportation channels are all operating normally.

As of now, our army has a total of more than 20 regular troops and more than 150 million militiamen!" He paused and explained, "Due to the lack of raw materials, it is difficult for us to produce weapons and ammunition by ourselves, and the army needs quality rather than quantity. Therefore, rather than distributing limited weapons and ammunition to too many people, it is better to concentrate them in the hands of a few people.

Our regular army units are all well-armed and have sufficient ammunition. Ordinary infantry can be allocated more than 300 rounds of ammunition. The militia units basically have no hot weapons. They use broadswords and spears. That is what our machinery factory has been doing in the past few months. Although they are mass-produced in China, they are all cold weapons, but they are quite powerful when fighting with the Chinese army at night or in bad weather!"

"The most important thing is..." Vatutin added, "Everyone hates the Chinese, and everyone is cornered by the Chinese, so even the militiamen will take death as home and go forward!"

"What about the artillery and tanks?" Konev asked.

Marankin said: "As for the artillery unit, because large-caliber artillery is difficult to transport, we don't have many heavy artillery pieces, but we have more mortars and sufficient shells. The tank unit is very ideal. We already have more than 500 tanks. , most of them are t-34 tanks with excellent mobility in the snow!"

"Very good!" Konev nodded, "It would be nice to have a tank unit, because we are going to fight a mobile battle with the Chinese, and it would be inconvenient to carry heavy artillery!" He looked at everyone with burning eyes, "Comrade Zhukov just gave me A telegram has been sent, they have launched a large-scale attack in the north of Omsk, and successfully attracted the attention of the Chinese army, next, it's our turn!" He took a deep breath, "Comrades, we will definitely victorious!"

At [-] o'clock in the morning, when the battle of Tara began to come to an end, the Soviet army's breakout counterattack in four cities in North Asia officially started.

The Chinese army surrounding the four cities in North Asia has 4 armies and 1 army. They are the 27th, 31st, 32nd, and 34th armies led by Luo Zhuoying and the 10th army of Song Xilian. In terms of deployment, the 10th army is stationed In the eastern region of the four North Asian cities and Outer Mongolia, the 27th Army and the 34th Army were in the west of the Four North Asian cities, and the 31st and 32nd Army were in the south of the Four North Asian cities. "Siege circle" (if the Soviet army fled north, they would only flee into the no-man's land in northern North Asia, and they would surely die. Therefore, there are basically no Chinese troops in the north of the four cities in North Asia).

Song Xilian's 10th Army is an out-and-out Nanjing Army with a very "pure" interior, while Luo Zhuoying's Four Army Groups are a "hodgepodge" of four pots, with all kinds of factions. This faction, as well as the remnants of the original local faction, can be described as intricate. There are two reasons for this. The purpose, so it is tacitly stated, "Everyone wants to share a piece of the pie, and if they have the opportunity to make a name for themselves on the foreign battlefield, it is natural to make a fortune and be famous together." Second, after the various local warlord factions were wiped out, Chiang Kai-shek needed to win them over and appease them, so he also gave them a chance to "show their prestige in foreign lands", which led to "chaos" within the four army groups.

Fortunately, these four armies did not need to fight tough battles, they only needed to deal with unarmed Soviet civilians, so nothing happened.

In the words of Jiang Weiguo, "The four armies of Luo Zhuoying are like a large joint-stock company."

The Soviet army is relatively clear about the situation of the Chinese army besieging the city. After all, the two sides have been in "close contact" for more than four months. Through money bribes and information provided by the KGB, Konev learned that the commander of the 27th Army is Lu Han, the deputy commander is Yang Sen, Lu Han is a general from Yunnan, China, and Yang Sen is a general from Sichuan, China. The troops under the 27th Group Army have the Central Army as the backbone, but there are also many former Yunnan Army, Sichuan Army and other local armies. Troops; the commander of the 31st Army Group is Liu Jianxu, the deputy commander is Tang Enbo, Liu Jianxu is only a name, Tang Enbo is the real commander; the commander of the 32nd Army Group is Shangguan Yunxiang, the deputy commander is Li Hanhun, and Shangguan Yunxiang belongs to He Yingqin, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army Li Hanhun was originally the backbone of the Cantonese warlords, but he has defected to the Central Army; the commander of the 34th Army is Xu Tingyao, and the deputy commander is Hu Zongnan, both of whom are direct descendants of the Central Army; It belongs to the faction of Chen Cheng, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs of China.

When formulating the breakout and counterattack plan, Konev had far-sighted considerations. He knew very well that Song Xilian was the most difficult to fight, because his troops were the Nanjing Army, so the breakthrough could not go east (north was ruled out long ago), but could only go west or southward.

According to common sense, Konev should break through to the west so as to join forces with the Ural Front Army in the north of Omsk, but he did the opposite and decided to break through to the south because he knew his responsibilities very well.

If the Soviet army goes south, the enemy is the 31st and 32nd Group Armies of the Chinese Army.

"Which general is the most corrupt in the 31st and 32nd armies of the Chinese army?" Konev asked Cuikov.

Because Cuikov stayed in China for a long time in his early years, he can speak fluent Chinese and is very familiar with China's national conditions, so Konev asked him to give full play to his talents and strengths, and was specifically responsible for this matter during these few months.

Cuikov replied without hesitation: "Sun Yuanliang, commander of the 31th Army of the 29st Army!"

"How is this character?"

"This person is a graduate of the first batch of Whampoa. When Chiang Kai-shek launched the Northern Expedition, he served as the First Regiment of the First Division of the Northern Expedition. He was an out-and-out student of the Son of Heaven, but his name is not worthy of his name. Although he has made some contributions, he has a bad record. Lax in military affairs, greedy for money, and lustful. When Jiang Weiguo formed the Nanjing Army, this Sun Yuanliang took the initiative to join him many times, but was rejected by Jiang Weiguo. Because of his mediocre ability and namelessness, Jiang Weiguo disdained to accept him.

Over the past few months, we have figured out this Sun Yuanliang.

In the beginning, several young and beautiful female hungry people fled to the defense line of Sun Yuanliang's 29th Army, but Sun Yuanliang hid them in his army headquarters, having fun every night and having fun. Later, we specially organized people to contact Sun Yuanliang secretly , hoping to buy food from him secretly, but he readily agreed on the spot. After tasting the sweetness, he became more and more courageous and acted more and more unscrupulously. At the most one time, he sold five tons of flour at the price of [-] kilograms of gold. For us, those flours are the military rations of his troops, but he did it without any scruples. He even wanted to sell us the weapons and ammunition of his troops, but our funds were limited and rubles were not accepted, so he gave up.

The most absurd thing is that we exchanged women for things with him, and he agreed, and we selected twenty or thirty young and beautiful women as gifts to him, and he gladly gave us a large amount of food and medicine. In the woods on the leeward hill, he sent engineers to build a wooden villa called the backup headquarters. In fact, he used it as a golden house to hide his beauty. He was there almost all day long, and he didn't come to the military headquarters once a week! "

Konev sneered: "What a scum! Very good, our breakthrough point is on this Sun Yuanliang!"

For more than four months, the Soviet soldiers and civilians in the four besieged North Asian cities were famined, so at the beginning there were incidents of individuals using money to buy food and medicine from the officers and soldiers of the besieged Chinese army. Konev was deeply inspired by this, He quickly formulated a plan and dispatched Chuikov to take full charge of this matter. Chuikov lived up to expectations. At first, the Soviets used money to buy supplies from the Chinese army was only a small-scale, unorganized individual behavior. The incident turned into a large-scale and organized military operation, and the besieged Soviet army frequently conducted "trade" with the besieging Chinese army.

Since the Soviet currency, the ruble, has become useless, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army only accept gold and silver, as well as French currency, dollars, marks, pounds, francs, yen and other currencies. Konev certainly does not have so many gold and silver and foreign currencies, but he There is a way.

The Soviet state treasury naturally has a large amount of foreign currency reserves. It is difficult for the United States, Britain and France to assist the Soviet Union with military supplies, but it is more convenient to send banknotes. As for gold and silver, there are in the Soviet state treasury, and there are more. At this time, everything in the Soviet Union was for war. The Soviet government had enough reasons to unconditionally collect gold and silver jewelry from the people, a large part of which was sent to the four cities in North Asia and became Konev's "tools".

In fact, Konev’s ulterior motives were not about drinking. On the one hand, he tried every means to obtain food, medicine and other supplies. On the other hand, he also tried to test the senior generals of the besieging Chinese army. , will be a raging nest", if the chief officer of an army is a greedy, lustful and incompetent person, then the combat effectiveness of this army must not be much higher.

In the past four months or so, Konev has not ordered the troops to launch a breakout or counterattack. One is to keep a low profile and accumulate strength; As a result, the Chinese army was caught off guard in the final breakout counterattack.

At [-] o'clock in the morning on February [-], the Soviet army in four cities in North Asia officially launched a major counterattack and a major breakthrough.

At 20:31 in the morning, Novokuznetsk, one of the four cities in North Asia and the southernmost among the four cities, was over 29 kilometers to the south and was captured by the 91st Division of the [-]th Army of the [-]st Group Army of the Chinese Army. Controlled Bisk.

In the field filled with wind and snow, a company of the 91st Division is guarding a highland stronghold. The stronghold is made of wood. There are more than 100 soldiers in the whole company. There are more than 100 soldiers sleeping, and only a dozen soldiers are still on guard.

Those who are still on guard are all new recruits, and they still have a serious fear of military discipline. As for the veterans, they have already found a good place to take a nap. The veterans are familiar with this because they have already experienced a lot.

Huang Xiaosan was one of the soldiers who didn't sleep. He looked at the squad leader lying next to him feeling uneasy: "Squad leader, why are you asleep?"

The squad leader yawned: "Bullshit! What the hell are you doing in this shitty weather and this shitty place? Looking at the snow?"

Huang Xiaosan said: "According to the regulations, our class is now on duty!"

The squad leader sneered: "You know what! The other classes are sleeping, why can't we sleep?"

"In case the chief comes to check..."

"Check your ass! The officers themselves are asleep! Maybe they are still playing with Russian pussies!"

A veteran beside him laughed: "That's true.

In this ghostly place where birds don't shit and there is no human hair, there is nothing to do except play with women.

do you know?That kid Yuan Liu used half a steamed bun to fuck a Russian girl yesterday, but that kid's lifeblood almost froze in the cold wind, haha! "

Another veteran expressed emotion: "I heard that there is another regiment near us, the regiment leader is Zhang. It seems that those Russian women are allowed to sell meat on their positions, and even set up a battlefield brothel. Alas! Our regiment Why isn’t the boss as reasonable as Zhang Tuanzhang? The brothers are bored to death here, and their wives and friends are not around. Many brothers are still bachelors. We need women, and those Russian girls need food, and it’s cheap as hell. Half a steamed bun can be done once, what a bargain! Tell me, we have steamed buns in our hands, and the Russian girl on the opposite side is willing, isn’t this a good thing to have the best of both worlds, and everyone gets what they need? Why don’t the officers refuse?”

A veteran next to him sneered: "You are really hungry! How many days have those Russian girls not showered? And Russian women have a terrible body odor! They are as hairy as monkeys! You really have dicks!"

"You know what! After serving in the army for three years, a sow is better than Diaochan!"

The veterans chattered about nasty jokes while cursing and flying.

Huang Xiaosan couldn't listen anymore. He felt that as a soldier, he shouldn't be like this. He picked up his regular rifle and looked out from the observation port of the stronghold. Suddenly, he seemed to see something. After opening his eyes wide, he I saw many black spots appearing in the vast wind and snow in the distance, and they were large crowds, moving here.

"Someone is coming!" Huang Xiaosan shouted hastily, "Russians! Many Russians are coming from the north!"

The veterans cheered up one after another: "Great!"

"I don't know if those Russian pigs came to surrender or to die!"

"If they surrendered, leave a few beautiful Russian women, just to relieve boredom!"

The veterans were so excited that they swarmed out. Sure enough, a large number of Soviets were approaching in the wind and snow in the distance. There were a lot of people. Due to the poor visibility, they couldn't see clearly, but they were definitely more than a thousand.

The veterans are not afraid, because they have experience. Although there are Soviet troops in the four cities in North Asia, they have been acting like turtles. Only Soviet civilians came out. If those Soviet civilians broke out, they could use machine guns to shoot them. Easy solution, if those Soviet civilians came to surrender, they could just let them "pick women".

There is no tension in the stronghold, only the excitement of being able to choose new year's goods as the New Year is approaching.
