"Let them come! This will be their hell!" General Meletskov, the commander of the Far Eastern Front, waved his fists and encouraged his subordinates.

After Apanathenko was finished, the unlucky General Pulkayev was pushed up, but then there were a series of failures.

Although everyone knows that facing the powerful Chinese vanguard army, it is almost the same for anyone to come. Even if the Soviets are using the idea of ​​changing space for time, after all, they have lost so much territory and have to have an explanation.

The unlucky Pulkayev did not sit firmly and was investigated early.

At this time, Meletskov was ordered to handle Far East affairs at the last minute.

After the area around Lake Baikal and the occupation of Siberia, several armies of Siberia and Baikal were just empty shells. The Far Eastern Front became the only powerful army of the Soviet Union in the East, including the former Far Eastern Front and the remaining troops of the Baikal Military Region. In addition to the newly mobilized various miscellaneous armies, the number of people was close to one million.

Such a large front is not something that ordinary people can control. When Meletskov, who was named a general in 40 years, was already one of the three generals at the beginning. He became the chief of staff of the Soviet Union in 40 years, and his qualifications were enough to suppress everyone.

This general, who had made outstanding military achievements in the Spanish International Column with a pseudonym and achieved some success on the battlefield of Sufen, was once the chief of staff of the former Red Flag Army and was very familiar with the Far East. However, even though he had rich combat command experience, he could not help but face the surging vanguard army.

But Stalin did not allow him to retreat blindly, so he could only retreat and defend.

At the beginning of the Soviet-German War, as Meletsyev was the representative of the Supreme Command Base in Europe, it can be seen that his relationship with Stalin was extraordinary. This is also one of the reasons why he retreated continuously and was not immediately dismissed by Stalin.

The crisis on the European battlefield and the strategy of changing time in the Far East space are also two of the reasons. However, the most important thing is that Meretzyev set the location of the decisive battle with the Chinese in Vladivostok early.

According to his initial strategic deployment, he selected several major cities to fight key defense wars.

But unfortunately, the artillery fire of the Pioneer Army was even more fierce than that of the Germans, and they were willing to destroy all the bombings. Even though he arranged urban defense battles in Boli and Miao Street, they were almost destroyed by the artillery fire of the Pioneer Army.

In this regard, Meletsyev could only lament the luxury of the vanguard's artillery fire as if it was not expensive.

When the cannon fires, there are ten thousand taels of gold.

Even the Germans, when facing a fortress like Leningrad, they also need to consider the issue of ammunition replenishment and consumption. War always requires costs. If the cost is too high and the harvest is too small, the significance is not great.

But the cheap artillery fire of the Pioneer Army is only one-tenth of others, and one cheap enough to make the artillery fire of the Pioneer Army unprecedentedly fierce.

The Pioneer Army had many heavy artillery attacks. Under the continuous bombing of thousands of artillery artillery, many places were ruined so much that they could no longer be ruined.

With the air force advantages of the Pioneer Army, the Soviets' artillery support could not be exerted at all.

The shells came, and a large number of armored troops and ground troops swept across the ruins, clearing the trenches and underground fortifications that were not affected by artillery fire, and the battle ended like this.

The tactics are simple, but Meletsev doesn't have many solutions.

This is a direct collision of strength without any tricks. If the big cities in Europe could still hold on for a while with their huge cities, but in the Far East, the Soviet Union's population from Lake Baikal eastward was less than three million, how many big cities could there be?

Even so-called big cities such as Bolim Temple Street cannot arrange too many fortifications. A few small iron nails cannot withstand the knocking of the big hammer and they are broken.

Meletsyev could only make continuous adjustments and finally determined the steel nail in Vladivostok.

The Soviets have been operating the fortress in the Far East.

There are two fort areas at the entrance of the lower reaches of Heilongjiang, which have spiked on the weaknesses of the Amur area, but the excessive arrangement of the sea surface did not defend much against the land offensive. In the bombardment of heavy artillery, they all turned into concrete ruins.

However, the fortress group in Vladivostok has been laid out since the Tsarist Russian era, and has been improved from land to ocean for hundreds of years. In order to fight against the Japanese in the Soviet era, it was vigorously built and rebuilt. At this time, it can be called the first fortress in the Far East, even more so than Lushun.

Coupled with the cooperation of the Pacific Fleet and the Japanese on the flank, Meretzev was confident that this place would be called the Chinese Waterloo.

He began to accumulate supplies and strength very early on, and his series of arrangements and plans also gave Stalin a confidence.

"Don't let down the expectations of the people! The list of the marshals is also looking forward to your name!" With thousands of miles apart and tightly blocked by the vanguard army, Stalin could not provide much material support, so he could only give some spiritual encouragement.

Originally, Meletsyev, who was named Marshal in 1944, was expected to be appointed as Chief in advance, but this expectation was too slim.

"If there is the help of the Japanese, there should be no problem holding on for a year!" Meletsyev also knew the hardships, but with the support of the Pacific Fleet in the Whale Sea, Vladivostok would not disconnect from the outside world, and there would be no problem with defense for a year. Because of the United States' participation in the war, the world's pattern will change a lot in a year. The Soviet Union will also have enough response measures.

At that time, whether he succeeds or fails, he will be a Soviet-Russian hero.

...

"One month! In just one month, I can take Vladivostok!" Wei Hanchao took the initiative to run out and ask for battle.

Now the National Defense Force is re-aligning. Although Wei Hanchao has made contributions to regaining the Northeast, it is still slightly inferior to the external achievements of opening up the territory.

Although he was the Fourth Legion, he was in front of him, including Rat, Ox, and Tiger, all of them were Meng Xiang's direct descendants. Because of his hesitation in his position at a certain period, he was somewhat alienated from Meng Xiang's core circle.

The Pioneer Army attaches the most importance to military merits. He hopes to make up for it with military merits to meet the great opportunities of the Chinese New Deal fu new army in the future.

"Yeah!" Meng Xiang nodded with a smile, not saying anything.

Wei Hanchao's combat request is OK, but it cannot be used as the main force.

The Fourth Legion has been abroad for a long time, and the hills of Wei Hanchao are standing very high and need to be adjusted.

Moreover, most of the Fourth Corps are natives in Northeast China. The new National Defense Forces avoided the fact that the personnel in a place were too concentrated and formed a strong local army and warlord faction, which also needed adjustments.

They also focus on mountain and guerrilla warfare, and are not good at large-scale siege, especially this kind of strong attack on fortresses and fortresses.

Wei Hanchao can use human life in a cold-blooded manner, but Meng Xiang would not sacrifice easily. Otherwise, he would not have prepared for so long.

Wei Hanchao requested to participate in the war, and one or two divisions could be drawn from the Fourth Legion to participate in the war. However, because the main force is familiar with the situation and environment in the Northeast, the Fourth Legion still needs to make great efforts in the subsequent clearing and comforting work.

...

"Is one month okay?" Meng Xiang asked Mouse.

"Yes, commander!" Shu Yi, the largest leader in the vanguard army in the eyes of others, immediately changed from Commander Shu to Meng Xiang's loyal subordinate when no one was left.

But when Fan Zong got the plan formulated by Shi Yi, he couldn't help but smile and said, "That kind of strength is enough for half a month!"

He didn't know that Shi Yi had just made a month's attack plan according to Meng Xiang's question. Wei Hanchao didn't know that Meng Xiang had many backup plans, so he called out for only one month.

"The fortress of Vladivostok is not much better than the difficult bones in Europe. If we have such preparations, how can it take half a month? I can put our red flag there in ten days!" Zhao Yi, who had just returned from North Africa, was full of confidence when he helped Fan Zhong revise his plan.

"Just ten days!" Meng Xiang nodded with Fan Zong after seeing Zhao Yi's general plan and immediately made a decision.

So a detailed new combat plan was released, but the commander was still a rat.

After the regaining of the south, Shi Yi's contribution has never made much military achievements. The marshal's signature is also a bit humid. Although Meng Xiang will give him more opportunities in the battles in the future, he needs military achievements now. One is to upgrade and the other is to establish his authority.

Rat first is the important arrangement for setting up a new mountain that Meng Xiang arranged to attract internal conflicts. How can the mountain rise without sufficient military achievements and fame?

Niu Yi and Hu Yi have made outstanding achievements in Siberia and the Far East. They have both entered the eighth level and obtained the rank of brigadier general at the base. They have improved more humanity and other powers. Meng Xiang hopes that Shi Yi will gain enough military merits to break through the peak of level seven and advance to level eight, so the final contribution of the Battle of Vladivostok was transferred to him.

Zhao Yi, the designated person of the new plan, was not qualified and could not command the cooperation of the three armies. This time he was promoted to deputy chief of staff of the front line command.

"The Russians have already exiled all the Chinese in Vladivostok. What other taboos are needed to attack such a fortress? As long as the land does not sank, it will destroy us and build it. Just let go of your hands and feet to attack!" Before leaving, Meng Xiang instructed, "We look forward to your good news!"

On the last day of August, before dawn was unbuttoned, the horn of war sounded again over Vladivostok.
