Age of Rebirth

Living in Dingbian City, where the big yangko dances and gongs and drums are blaring, and the crowded sea of ​​joy, Tang Qiuli has completely forgotten the flames of war in the distance, the desperate struggle between the Japanese and Allied forces on the battlefield in the Southwest Pacific, and the surrounding areas of Outer Mongolia. The pressure of the large-scale build-up of the Soviet army made the war so far away that it was almost blurred in memory.

Looking at his wives, who are as gorgeous as flowers, with red smiling faces, full of satisfaction and joy from the heart, bouncing around like little girls, for a while, Tang Qiuli lost interest in the military career and constant battles In other words, as a member of ordinary citizens on the streets of Dingbian, working from nine to five, spending a lot of time with his wife and children may not be another way of life.

On the way back, Tang Qiuli was still laughing at Shanhu from time to time, "Hey, did you guys see that Huzi twisting Yangko, that's awkward, I watched from the side, it's like fighting a bayonet, you Look at Ouyang Lan, that's called a graceful dance, and Hu Zi keeps moving forward!"

Shanhu retorted, "You twisted well, you twisted all the big Yangko ballroom dances, and you just joined the big girl and the little daughter-in-law, and didn't even look at yourself!"

With an innocent face, Tang Qiuli asked Mei Ting how many of them, "Do I have any?"

Mei Ting, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan raised their hands together and said in unison: "Absolutely! We all saw it with our own eyes!"

Shanhu grinned triumphantly, while Ouyang Lan covered her little mouth, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten up.

Several people chatted and laughed, Tang Qiuli and Shanhu would still move their fists and feet from time to time, just like when they were children, they were so unrestrained. When they arrived at the door, a special guard who stayed behind came up to them, "Report to the teacher, Xingyuan Secret Group I asked to see one of the staff officers. He said that he has important information to report to you, and he has been waiting in the living room for a long time!"

Tang Qiuli paused, sighed secretly, his thoughts immediately withdrew from the joy just now, a bit of bitterness appeared in his heart, he still couldn't escape the war, Mei Ting, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan immediately stopped laughing and looked at each other, I understand very well in my heart.I'm afraid this happy time with my husband is coming to an end!

He dragged Ouyang Lan knowingly to another room, and Shan Hu accompanied Tang Qiuli into the living room.See a colonel staff, pacing back and forth.looked very anxious.The two telegrams from Outer Mongolia are important information, and they are still waiting for a reply, but the teacher has not come back for a long time.I saw the teacher and Captain Huang coming in hand in hand.

The major's staff rushed to greet him, stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the division commander, I received an urgent telegram from Chief of Staff Zhao and the Director of the Intelligence Department!" After speaking, he presented two telegrams with both hands.

Tang Qiuli took it over.After browsing through it quickly, the complexion immediately turned ugly. The Soviet Army has assembled on a large scale to the west of the Ural Mountains. This is the information I have received a long time ago. Don’t be surprised. To be honest, the speed of the Soviet Army’s assembly is slower than I estimated.

However, in Zhao Yuhe's telegram, the last situation mentioned was the greatest pressure. Stalin was simply crazy, and he probably took out more than two-thirds of the Soviet Air Force to press on the east. A flight group, all the combat aircrafts added together, only more than [-], just over half of the combat aircraft of the Soviet Army, this is still the initial level of equipment, in the future, I am afraid there will be more!

If only Zhao Yuhe's information is used to judge the true situation of the Soviet army, but the information from Yu Deshui can be verified with each other, which shows that Stalin is planning to fight in Outer Mongolia and the Far East, and the target is not just the independent division. I am afraid that the Japanese Kwantung Army is also on the offensive of the Soviet Army. Judging from the troops mobilized by the Soviet Army, Stalin wanted to fight on two fronts, defeat the independent division troops, reoccupy Outer Mongolia, defeat the Japanese Kwantung Army, and regain the Outer Xing'an Mountains To the south, to the land of Vladivostok.

"Stalin is a lunatic! Five or six thousand combat aircraft can cover almost all the airspace in the eastern part of the Soviet Union," Tang Qiuli muttered, frowning.

The embarrassment is that I can't take the lead and take the initiative to attack. If I attract all Stalin's vengeful psychology to myself, it will be a decisive battle with the Soviet army. Even if I win, it will be a disastrous victory. , All the field regiments of the Independent Division have been thrown into the battlefield, and they will be greatly injured. They have lost all their money, how will the next battle be fought, what will be done on the Australian battlefield, and what will be done on the Japanese Kwantung Army?

First let the Soviet Army and the Japanese Kwantung Army pinch each other. Obviously, this method will not work. Stalin’s hatred for himself is far more than that for the Japanese. The Soviet army left in his hands during the two Outer Mongolia Wars is afraid It is more than 100 million, not counting how many strategic materials and weapons and equipment he extorted from Stalin.

Moreover, it was precisely because of the first Outer Mongolia War that the troops of the Soviet Far East Military Region fought inextricably with the corps directly under the Independent Division, so the Japanese Kwantung Army took advantage of the situation, picked up a ready-made bargain, and took the Soviet Union's only export in the Pacific. Haikou, Vladivostok, and large tracts of land in the Far East, so that there are still more than two million Soviet troops, who are firmly tied to the outer Xing'an Mountains by the Japanese Kwantung Army, and they cannot escape.

The Outer Mongolia War, in terms of its purpose, was a war for the Chinese to quell the forces that split the country. According to international law, it was China's internal affairs, but Stalin would never think so. Under the powerful military power, the so-called international law , It’s just the rules of the game made by the powerful to plunder the weak, and the fist is the truth. That Georgian understands this better than anyone else, and is better at using it.

It's a pity that my own fists are still not as strong as Stalin's right now. If I fight hard, I will suffer losses and let the Japanese take advantage. However, the matter has not reached the point where it cannot be resolved. As long as Hitler takes action against the Soviet Union before March, This deadlock will be solved easily.

Wait, all you can do now is wait, wait for the Germans to end the war in the British Isles as soon as possible. It is now mid-February [-], and the time left for me is less than two months. It seems that Hitler There, it's time to add fire!

Tang Qiuli was thinking sharply, while Shanhu and the major staff were waiting quietly in the living room. After a long time, Tang Qiuli raised his head, flashed his eyes, and said, "Confidential team, call back Chief of Staff Zhao, Closely monitor the movement of the Soviet army west of the Ural Mountains, and strategically shrink the troops going out to Minusinsk to avoid conflict with the Soviet army, and put all the troops in Outer Mongolia into a state of combat readiness.”

"In addition, deploy all engineering units to place explosives on all bridges, main roads, ferries and other facilities in the vast area east of the Ural Mountains, and send troops to guard day and night. The above series of preparations are all directed by the division staff. Commander Zhao Yu and Major General are in charge, Dongzhi Chief of Staff Major General Yang Ketian is assisting, and Outer Mongolian Frontier Army Commander Sun Zhenbang will focus on forming the Outer Mongolian Field Corps.”

"Call back to the Director of the Intelligence Department. The main task in front of the Intelligence Department is to find out the numbers, equipment, troop establishment, commander's name and other information of the Soviet Army. In addition, the situation of the Soviet Air Force's Far East First Flying Group Army is also important. Listed as a key reconnaissance target."

"Order, Captain Chutian of the Special Operations Detachment, immediately dispatch a capable team to go deep into the west of the Ural Mountains in the Soviet Union to scout out the field airport being built by the Soviet Army, its location and other details. The scouting mission should be completed by early March."

Tang Qiuli also made a plan. If the Germans did not attack the Soviet Union by mid-March, or if the war in the British Isles had not ended, then he would have to fight a few big battles with the Soviet army. It cannot be avoided. At that time, these field airports of the Soviet Army will be the first targets to strike. Without the overwhelming Soviet aircraft, they will be more confident in fighting.

After the staff officer recorded the order, he left in a hurry. Tang Qiuli looked at Shanhu and said with a wry smile, "Huzi, it seems that our good days in Dingbian are coming to an end soon!"

But Shanhu said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, isn't it just a war, and when will we leave?"

Tang Qiuli thought for a while and said, "After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it will be the first ten days of February at the latest!"

The Spring Festival in Dingbian starts from the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month. major holiday.

During the day, people will come out of the city to watch tens of thousands of Yangko performances across the street. At night, they will also perform a series of entertainment activities such as watching the lantern show, jumping over the fire, turning around the nine-way lantern array, and praying for a safe year, a good harvest, and prosperity. However, Tang Qiuli didn't have the heart to go out for a stroll. He locked himself in the room, facing the large military map of Outer Mongolia, wringing out his thoughts, predicting what might happen to each of them, and starting to formulate two sets of battle plans. .

He had to make two preparations. If the German army starts on time, the game of chess in Outer Mongolia will be full of vigor, and everything will be carried out according to his own ideas. The time to attack the Soviet Union was postponed until April and May. When I was in an inextricable fight with the Soviets, I would take action again. It was inevitable that I would fight with more than 400 million Soviet troops. In Mongolia, I can't afford to lose.

Although Tang Qiuli firmly believes that whether it is based on the known history or the comprehensive analysis of the current situation, the situation that he was released by Hitler is very small, but he completely entrusts a war that will determine the fate of the Outer Mongolia region and the independent division to Germany. People are undoubtedly the most stupid.

In all fairness, if I put this matter on myself, I was in Hitler's position, facing the fact that nearly half of the Soviet army was moving south, and the fact that the troops in Europe were empty, I would be quite moved. It's nonsense to fight indiscriminately and take advantage of yourself!

"Bang bang bang!" The door was knocked lightly, Tang Qiuli's thoughts were interrupted, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.
