Age of Rebirth

Hearing his wife's crying voice, Tang Qiuli's body froze, and then he gently stroked Mei Xue's beautiful hair on her round shoulders, and hugged her tightly. :Reading novels

"Xue, you didn't go alone. According to the decision of the military meeting, all non-combatants and logistics agencies will be temporarily withdrawn to the mainland. You see, even Yu Deshui's intelligence department and Shen Jun's investigation department have been withdrawn. Originally , you should have followed the evacuation team of several agencies yesterday, but in the end, you lost your temper and shed tears, so you stayed for one more day, and I had to arrange a detachment of the security brigade for Shanhu to escort you, haha—— —! Finally, I have to go!" Tang Qiuli said with a light smile, and there was a touch of pampering in his tone.

Mei Xue raised her teary face, her eyes were full of worry, "Qiu Li, is this really so dangerous this time? I have been following you for several years, and I have never seen it before. Soon, you will start to evacuate people, I don't worry, you are alone in Outer Mongolia! Could it be that you have reached such a dangerous juncture?" She asked eagerly.

Tang Qiuli patted his wife on the back, and said indifferently: "It's not dangerous, it's just a normal countermeasure. Without the burden of complicated non-combat mechanisms, the troops are more flexible. Okay, Xue, the guards The brigade is waiting for you outside, don’t let the soldiers blow the cold wind outside, let’s go, I’ll take you to the car! When you arrive in Erenhot, send me a telegram.”

The night became more and more gloomy, the cold wind howled, and the hard snow particles flew with the wind, hitting people's faces, causing burning pain. Tang Qiuli watched Mei Xue get into the car, and through the car, gently caressed her. "Touched" his wife's delicate face, then waved his hand and shouted in a low voice: "Drive!" [

Several cars, bright lights, like jumping lightsabers, pierced the dark night sky, and gradually disappeared into the distant desert. Tang Qiuli stood there for a long time, until the light in the distance disappeared completely.

After sending away the non-combat troops and rear agencies, and his wife, Tang Qiuli could go into battle with light clothes, turn around and jump on the armored command vehicle, and ordered loudly: "Let's go immediately, the destination, Minusinsk!"

"Let me use the more than 20 elite soldiers and generals directly under my corps to have a good time with Stalin!" Sitting on the bumpy armored command vehicle, he thought viciously.

In early March [-], after many efforts, the number of Soviet troops assembled in the assembly areas west of the Ural Mountains had reached more than two million people. General Vasilevsky, commander and political commissar of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front, , On the morning of March [-]th, I arrived in Yekaterinburg by special plane, and the Front Army Command was established immediately.

On the night of his arrival in Yekaterinburg, General Vasilevsky convened the first combat meeting attended by commanders above the division level. belief.

The military and the government are shoulder-to-shoulder, the commander and the political commissar are one person, with 160 million heavy troops in hand, in the Outer Mongolia Front Army, it can be said that they keep their promises, and no one challenges their authority. Of course, Comrade General is also one of the senior commanders of the Soviet Red Army. Among them, a battle-tested hero naturally has his own command style.

Therefore, at the combat meeting, General Vasilevsky acted extremely arbitrary, "Comrades, this time the General Staff appointed me as the commander of the front army to command the troops to carry out the combat mission against the Chinese Tang Qiuli's troops. Before leaving, at the meeting of the Politburo, Comrade Stalin had already determined the combat policy for the troops of the Reading Division, and now I will talk about the specific deployment of the campaign!"

The hundreds of Soviet generals below, including group army commanders and military division commanders, were all stunned, "What? Now the deployment of the campaign has begun? Isn't it too impatient? They didn't even hold a pre-war meeting. When they arrived at the assembly point, they were almost blind to the local situation. Furthermore, the various armies within the formation of the Outer Mongolian Front Army came from different military regions and front armies, and they were not familiar with each other. Basically, the commanders of the various army groups Between them, they don’t even know their names, so how can we cooperate in a war?”

"In the original army, each had a different style of fighting and combat methods. Getting to know each other was an indispensable process. Could it be that, Comrade Commander, you don't even understand this basic common sense?" A series of question marks, circling In the minds of these Soviet generals.

However, they brought out Comrade Stalin without opening their mouths. Well, let’s listen with our ears. Anyway, with more than 100 million troops, it makes sense to fight no matter what.

General Vasilevsky went on to say: "In Outer Mongolia, Tang Qiuli's reading force division troops will launch an attack at 55:[-] am on March [-]th. The first, second, third, and The Fourth and Fifth Group Armies, with a total strength of [-] troops, are divided into five groups as the vanguard, crossing the Ural Mountains, and are the first to attack. The vanguard must occupy Minu before [-]:[-] am on March [-]. Sinske."

"Remind the five army commanders to note that the time left for you is only 48 hours, which means that it will take two days and two nights to take Minusinsk. According to the Air Force's reconnaissance report, the main force of the reading division The troops are all concentrated on the front line of Minusinsk, ready to stop our army, and the air force will dispatch [-] fighter jets and [-] bombers to cooperate with the attack of the vanguard."

"The rest of the group army is the second echelon. I will personally command it. It bypasses the Minusinsk battlefield and enters the western region of Outer Mongolia through the Tannu Mountains. After that, it quickly captures Ulan Guben, Uliasutai, and Checher. Leger and Hadasan are going straight to Kulun. It is estimated that they will launch a general attack on Kulun around March [-]. They will try to use three days to take Kulun and end the Outer Mongolian campaign. Comrades, what is the difference? Opinion?"

Heck, if you don’t have an opinion, the five armies are working together to attack the main force of the Reading Division on the front line of Minusinsk. This is no problem. The information provided by the intelligence agency shows that the so-called main force of the Reading Division is just a corps. There are only 10,000+ people. If you dispatch more than double the troops, you will definitely be able to take Minusinsk, annihilate or severely damage the troops of the Li division, and there is no suspenseful result. However, the time limit is too harsh, right?

From the current assembly place of the troops to Minusinsk, even if there is no war, the time spent on the march alone will take more than 30 hours, and the remaining ten hours will be wiped out or severely damaged in one fell swoop. 10,000+read Force division troops, is this possible?

Even if it kills 10,000+ chickens, it will take quite a long time. What's more, it was an elite division that defeated the Soviet army twice and buried more than 100 million Red Army soldiers in the Mongolian prairie.

In addition, there are only two roads to go through the Ural Mountains and enter the East. More than 50 troops are counting on two roads that can barely be called highways. It does not take more than three days. With so many troops, it is impossible to pass Not to mention, unless a group army sets off first. In this way, in terms of strength, it will be at a disadvantage. If it is not done well, it will be hit hard by Tang Qiuli.

A senior army commander felt that he was a veteran, and it was necessary to remind Commander Vasilevsky, stood up and said: "Comrade Commander of the Front Army, I have no opinion on your campaign deployment, but we must To deploy the troops according to the actual situation, the biggest difficulty before us is not the [***] squadron in Minusinsk, but the road traffic situation!"

Then, the commander of the group army, whose temples were already pale, described the situation in the Ural Mountains in detail. Familiar, during the Civil Revolutionary War, he used to be his immediate boss, he served as the head of the regiment, and he was the division commander. However, the difference in personal fortunes and official careers caused the difference in today's status. [

After the old man finished nagging, General Vasilevsky said in a calm tone: "Thank you for your reminder, comrades must think that I have given some unrealistic orders regardless of the actual situation, then you are wrong. Before convening this battle meeting, I have ordered the engineering troops of the front army to open up five other roads in the Ural Mountains in three days, which is enough to ensure that all troops can pass through the Ural Mountains in the shortest possible time. Comrades, Any other opinions?"

Who has an opinion, who dares to have an opinion?Comrade Commander's tone was calm, but the murderous look in his eyes leaked out repeatedly. Besides, he had already thought of a countermeasure, so if he asked for an opinion, he would be making himself uncomfortable!

On March [-]th, outside the western border of Outer Mongolia, in Minusinsk, an important military town in the territory of the former Soviet Union, Tang Qiuli was in a Russian-style building, with his hands behind his back, looking at the emptiness covered by snow. ’, the plan to fortify the wall and clear the wilderness does not include this city, but because the clouds of the recent war have gathered over the city, the residents in the urban area have almost fled. Of course, most of them fled to the territory of the Soviet Union .

In this regard, Tang Qiuli adopted an attitude of not advocating, not stopping, and letting go. In other words, it was intentional. Residents who fled to the Soviet Union would inadvertently gather more than 20 reading force troops in the The news of Minusinsk reached the ears of the Soviet commanders, convincing them that they would never give up Outer Mongolia, and that they would fight to the death with the Soviet troops crossing the Ural Mountains around the city.

In a sense, this is a strategy to "confuse" the Soviet Army. Since last night, most of the troops directly under the Corps have secretly withdrawn from the city, and only Liu Hongzhang's No. The first brigade and Ouyang Yishan's second brigade, together with Shanhu's guard brigade, had a strength of less than 4.
