Chapter 3135
This is what Stalin said, but since he did not mobilize more troops into the Far East, it is not difficult to guess his real intentions, that is: he does not care about a one-sided war with China, but it is definitely not at this time.Perhaps in his heart, he did not think that China's military actions in the Far East were enough to shake the fundamental interests of Soviet Russia.At the same time, he feels that if a full-scale war with China is launched under the current international situation, it will help Britain, the United States, and Japan to take advantage of the fire.

Kurtuk's Lankovsky could not understand Stalin's complicated mood.Because the gap in strength and equipment is too large, the most important thing is the lack of heavy firepower support, so, within five hours of the battle, the Seventh Army lost all its outer defense lines, and had to shrink its forces into Kurtuk. The offensive of the Chinese army can be delayed by street fighting.

Kurtuk, a small town in the Far East of Soviet Russia, had a small population, but after China regained the Far East, the population situation changed again.This change is naturally related to the minority policy of the coalition government.To put it simply, the minority policy of the coalition government is nothing more than "obedient children get candy", and "the more obedient children get the more candy".That is, as long as the government can obey the command of the government, then the government does not care about increasing aid and investment, and can even give considerable care in education, health and many things related to people's livelihood.

Relying on the stability of the Indochina Peninsula and the early use of "peripheral influence" to turn the Indochina Peninsula into a "granary of China", the most important thing for the coalition government now is food.This is also the fundamental reason why the coalition government was able to stabilize the hearts of the people in the rehabilitation area in a very short period of time.Rice in the Indochina Peninsula is grown three times a year, and the population of the Indochina Peninsula is only so large. The coalition government frantically made all the countries in the Indochina Peninsula vigorously plant rice.As a result, the price of rice in the Indochina Peninsula fell again and again, and finally had to rely on China's acquisition, so as to ensure the stability of the peninsula.This is of course a vicious circle. Fortunately, the "coalition government" or the "Chinese" have a conscience (as some democrats in the Indochina Peninsula say), and they will not lower food prices too much because of this.This also makes the national strength of the Indochina Peninsula countries advance steadily on the road of overall agriculturalization, and even in Hanoi, Phnom Penh, Bangkok and other relatively famous cities, local people can also afford electrical appliances from China, and even see Chinese TV.

Closer to home, during wartime, the importance of food is self-evident.And it is precisely because of this soft power weapon that the coalition government was able to quickly stabilize the famine in Henan. Not only that, it was also able to support more and more troops to fight abroad.For the same reason, in the Far East, because it can continuously provide low-priced food to ethnic minorities, the coalition government is "simple in people's hearts" and has been recognized by more and more Russians.

People in the Far East can focus on other production and construction without worrying about food all day long. Naturally, the people's livelihood will get better and better as time goes by.Naturally, more and more Soviet Russians were attracted to eat in the Far East of China.

The Far East, as the place where the Soviet government used to exile political prisoners, really had no place in the Central Committee of Soviet Russia before Stalin wanted to regain it.Correspondingly, the Soviet Russians in the Far East have a lower sense of national identity than other places, and even in some relatively remote places, there are so-called "remnants" like White Russia.The result of the relatively low attention from the central government is that by the time the agents of the Political Security Bureau discovered something was wrong, the population of some places had been cut by more than half, and some villages and towns had even moved out to death.

The situation of Kurtuha is considered good, but the total population of the town is less than 100.It turns out that in that time and space, the reason why Soviet Russia was able to achieve the final victory in the war against Germany, there is no doubt that the role played by "ordinary people" is crucial.It is precisely because of the harassment and cover of the "common people" that the Soviet Russian Red Army was able to fight repeatedly and win the final victory.But now, at least in the Far East, this situation will definitely not happen.

Lacking the support of the people, the Soviet Red Army had to do everything by themselves, which not only made their preparations for the war extraordinarily difficult, but also had a subtle impact on morale.This kind of subtlety was not obvious when Negalsk started, but it was more serious for Lankovsky and his men in Kurtuha.

The mayor of Kurtuha didn't know whether he was dead or ran away. Anyway, when Lankovsky sent people to find the local person in charge, he couldn't even ask for his name wherever he went.Without the help of local cadres, it will not be so smooth for them to use the local houses to fight.

At the beginning, the Red Army soldiers could still maintain a friendly attitude, and humbly shouted, "Comrade, open the door. We are the Red Army. The Chinese are coming. We will borrow your house to defend against the enemy." After being late one after another and closing the door, someone finally couldn't help it—it was more polite to climb over the wall and the courtyard; for those who were more irritable, they directly smashed the door with the butt of their gun.

"Comrade Chief of Staff, what should I do if the locals don't cooperate?" The situation was reported to Lankovsky.Lankovsky obviously didn't expect this to happen. He didn't know that they were killed by the Political Security Bureau, and it was a catastrophe. Therefore, at the beginning, he asked someone to notify the Political Security Bureau who accompanied the army. people, and want them to go to work.And when the people from the Political Security Bureau took the big shame and directly arrested the two "villagers" who did not cooperate with the police, he realized that the situation was wrong, but it was too late.

As a guerrilla-born Jiang Tieyao, he was not afraid that the Soviets would fight street battles with them, so when the Seventh Army retreated into Kurtuk, he ordered the pursuit without hesitation.The Chinese army chased after the Seventh Army into Kurtuk, and the battle immediately started in the east of Kurtuk Town.

Guns exploded in the east of the town, and Lankovsky knew that there was no room for delay, so he ordered the forcible requisition of local houses.He forgot, however, that the people in the Far East are tough, and most people have shotguns or iron forks in their homes for self-defense.Therefore, he did not order the forced expropriation.Once this order was issued, the shackles on the necks of the Soviet Red Army soldiers were lifted, and it immediately triggered strong resistance from the local residents.

"It's not right, why is there a fight in the town? Some of us broke in?" Standing behind several mandrill tanks, hearing gunshots in the town, Jiang Tieyao didn't understand what happened, and asked left and right.

The members of the Far East First Group Army were still outside the town, so who knew where the gunshots in the town came from.However, this is obviously beneficial to one's own side.Therefore, Jiang Tieyao waved his hand and ordered the whole army to press on, declaring that he would annihilate the Seventh Army in one go.
