Age of Rebirth

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe's words made Sun Zhenbang very dissatisfied, and said with a red face, "Chief of Staff Zhao, I don't want to listen to this. When did my old grandson flatter others? Is he telling the truth? Without you And Chief of Staff Yang, how can the corps be formed so quickly? Both of you know better than me what the corps' equipment is like."

Then, with a roll of his eyes, he continued, "Furthermore, you and Chief of Staff Yang are at least from our Outer Mongolian Field Corps. You don't need to say good things. Seeking truth from facts would be a great help to me. It's better than me crying poor Much more, what do you think, Chief of Staff Yang?" Sun Zhenbang aimed at Major General Yang Ketian, Chief of Staff of the Eastern Finger.

Yang Ketian just smiled without saying a word, Zhao Yuhe was not angry and looked at Tang Qiuli.

Tang Qiuli also laughed, and said, "Zhenbang, the Outer Mongolian Corps was formed on the basis of the original Outer Mongolian Frontier Defense Army. I am confident that I know something about it." Then, the topic changed, "Since you, Sun Zhenbang, are so eager To equip, well, I will immediately order the logistics department to equip the Outer Mongolian Field Corps in accordance with the standards of the directly subordinate corps. But, Zhenbang, let me ask you a word, once the equipment is up, the Outer Mongolian Field Corps can immediately be brought to the battlefield and shoulder the burden. Is it the combat mission of the main field corps?"

Sun Zhenbang became wilted all of a sudden. This is the biggest weakness of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. Except for the four infantry brigades on the south bank of the Selenge River and the troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region of the Soviet Army, who have been fighting for more than a week, they have smelled gunpowder smoke. Wei Er, apart from seeing blood, the other infantry brigades, strictly speaking, have never participated in a large-scale battle in the true sense. On the contrary, there are four cavalry brigades, which are the old foundation of the independent division, and their combat effectiveness is quite powerful. [

Artillery is also a shortcoming of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, which lacks large-caliber heavy artillery. As for the armored corps, although it has two brigades, it does not have a single tank.In Outer Mongolia, there are two tank brigades of Battelle's armored command, but they belong to others, and there is no order from the division to assign them to their own combat order. Therefore, the two tank brigades in the so-called establishment are still in the formation of the regiment. A string of numbers on a statistics sheet.

Such troops.On the battlefield, Sun Zhenbang took on the same combat mission as several veteran field regiments. No matter how confident he was and how eager he was to fight, he hadn't gotten carried away. So he honestly replied: "Report to the commander. It is not yet possible, However, if you give me a few months, after the troops are familiar with the new equipment, they should be able to undertake the most difficult tasks!"

Tang Qiuli glanced at Sun Zhenbang, who was a bit uncomfortable, and said: "Order. The Outer Mongolia Field Corps will immediately withdraw to the Pingjin area of ​​​​North China for training from tomorrow. Within four months, there will be no combat missions, just training. .”

Sun Zhenbang was in a hurry, and the Outer Mongolian Frontier Army was finally upgraded to a field corps.Seeing that a big battle is just around the corner, but at this juncture, the division commander ordered the troops to withdraw to the interior, obviously looking down on people?

Besides, without going through a few big battles, can the army grow up quickly, the main force.It wasn't caused by big battles. Sun Zhenbang was not convinced, and was about to get up to argue with a blushing face when Tang Qiuli's stern gaze swept over him.Sun Zhenbang was wilting at that time.

The rest of the generals, including the deputy division commander Liu Tiehan, did not understand the division commander's approach. Facing more than 400 million Soviet troops, the independent division's troops on the front line of Outer Mongolia were already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, so they transferred Sun Zhenbang's troops to the In the Pingjin area, Yang Ketian's three mechanized brigades have returned to the original organizational system. In Outer Mongolia, isn't there only one unit directly under the Corps, with more than 20 people, how can they stop the Soviet attack?

Tang Qiuli ignored the puzzled gazes of the generals, and continued, "Brother Tiehan, pointing east to the troops currently in the west of Liaoning, they will be secretly transferred to Chita gradually and in batches. The order of the headquarters can be used to prepare for the early stage of mobilization. The original Dongzhi’s defense on the front line in western Liaoning was handed over to Feng Jiwu’s Niangziguan Garrison Corps and the newly formed Yuan Jinghao’s North China Field Corps.”

Liu Tiehan squinted his eyes, thought about it carefully, and replied straightforwardly: "Cheng, Commander, the East Pointing troops are divided into two parts, one is in Chita, and the other is in the west of Liaoning. It is not convenient to command. I will add one more, From now on, in the direction leading to Chita in the west of Liaoning, point to the engineering troops in the east, and start to build two to three simple roads. As long as the command of the division is issued, the troops in the west of Liaoning can reach the line of Chita at the fastest speed , Master, is this possible?"

Tang Qiuli laughed loudly and said, "Jiang is still hot, Brother Tiehan, you have seen my intention!"

Liu Tiehan smiled but didn't answer, just stretched out three fingers and said: "Three knives!" Then he kept silent.

For the other generals, it was as if they were watching two people play a charade. Only the chief of staff, Zhao Yuhe, had a gleam in his eyes. He had been with the commander for the longest time, and he could understand the commander's strategic intentions. However, he was about to face more than 400 soldiers. The attack of the Wansu army is a big problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Tang Qiuli's eyes turned to Colonel Meng Qingpeng, the commander of the Outer Mongolia Cruise Area of ​​the Air Force Northern Flying Group, and said: "Qingpeng, according to the information from the intelligence department and the intelligence detected by the special warfare detachment, it can be confirmed that the Soviet Air Force is on the ground. To the west of the Ural Mountains, more than 100 field airfields have been built, but they are coming towards your air force, so the main task of the patrol area in Outer Mongolia is to stay still.”

Meng Qingpeng's qualifications and position do not allow him to argue with the teacher without restraint like Sun Zhenbang and others, or even play tricks. However, he was quite surprised by the order of the teacher, and he was deeply dissatisfied. Understanding, I stood up and replied: "Yes! Commander, the Outer Mongolia cruise area resolutely implements the command of the division commander. However, division commander, I would like to ask, once the Soviet air force fleet invades, how should we deal with it?"

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Hey! Even Meng Qingpeng has fought me in the ring, in a word, avoid fighting!"

"Avoid war?" Meng Qingpeng was taken aback. The commander meant that he wanted the troops in the patrol area of ​​Outer Mongolia to become deserters?Facing the Soviet fleet, they didn't even dare to meet each other, so they turned around and fled. . . . . . ,what does it mean?

Tang Qiuli waved his hand, then sat down for Meng Qingpeng, and said: "Qingpeng, the combat aircraft of the Soviet army in the east will be assembled one after another, and the number will reach an astonishing number of more than [-]. Not to mention the six fighter regiments in your patrol area of ​​Outer Mongolia , three bomber regiments, the combined combat aircraft of our independent division’s northern and southern flight groups is less than two-thirds of the combat aircraft of the Soviet Army.”

"It is good to dare to fight and fight without fear of a strong enemy, but it also depends on what kind of battlefield situation, is it obvious that the enemy is outnumbered? This kind of bravery is reckless and reckless. Avoiding battle is not turning around and running without firing a shot, but avoiding the edge of the Soviet army's main fleet and adopting a flexible and maneuverable style of play. Another important point is that the leader of the Chutian detachment will contact you tomorrow. In your hands, you have all the information about the Soviet Army’s field airports, and the task of your troops is to train night bombing and raids, understand?”

Speaking of this point, if Meng Qingpeng still doesn't understand, then his head is really confused. The confusion and dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared at that time, and he replied loudly, "Yes! Master! Strengthen the night bombing And raid training, guarantee to complete the mission!"

Tang Qiuli looked around at the generals, and said, "The deployment and adjustment of troops have been completed. Next, let's discuss the two sets of combat plans against the Soviet army!" [

As soon as Tang Qiuli's two sets of battle plans were presented, the generals understood at that time that the commander was making two-handed preparations, based on not fighting, and preparing for a big fight. However, everyone had deep doubts in their hearts. It is normal to prepare for a big fight. More than 400 million Soviet troops gathered in the west of the Ural Mountains one after another, causing the army to overwhelm the border. A big war is inevitable, and it is a vicious and tough battle with great disparity in strength!

But based on not fighting, everyone can't understand. Stalin mobilized more than 400 million troops and more than 1 combat aircraft. He spent such a large amount of money. He couldn't be here to demonstrate, right?Scaring people is not Stalin's style.

Therefore, based on not fighting, it seems very abnormal. What is the basis?Based on what basis did the teacher make such a judgment, how could he judge that Stalin's aggressive move was a false move?

However, seeing the master's confident and determined demeanor, everyone buried their doubts in their hearts. This is a kind of trust, based on the fact that he has never made a wrong decision after following the master for many years. A kind of trust, almost blind.

And Tang Qiuli also had a hard time saying that he couldn't tell everyone in front of the generals that Hitler's Germany would attack the Soviets in a month's time, no later than the end of March. Stalin couldn’t withdraw his troops even if he didn’t want to. He had to protect his lair. If he said this, it was a bit shocking. , don’t explain it, all the troops just follow it.

The meeting lasted from nine o'clock in the morning until after five o'clock in the afternoon. The generals added many suggestions around Tang Qiuli's two combat plans, but they all agreed that in Outer Mongolia, there were only more than 20 troops directly under the corps. , The troops are weak, and ten to fifteen brigades must be transferred from the Eastern Finger to join the battlefield in Outer Mongolia.

In other words, all the troops on the front line in the west of Liaoning will be assigned to the combat order of the corps directly under the regiment, so that the number of troops resisting the first wave of the Soviet offensive will reach about 45. In this case, facing more than 400 million Soviet troops, It was only barely enough to fight, and it was only barely enough to fight. After all, the difference in troop strength reached a disparity of ten to one. This was due to trust in the division commander's monstrous ability to command battles.

Tang Qiuli flatly rejected this suggestion and insisted on the original deployment of troops, so everyone stopped insisting.
