Age of Rebirth

As the chief of staff of the Outer Mongolia Front Army, the files of all officers above the division level are stored in the head of Lieutenant General Pozhnev. After thinking about it, he replied affirmatively: "Comrade Commander, I personally think that the front army The Minister of Security, Major General Vasidsky, is very suitable for this position, he has worked in the All-Soviet Cheka for quite a long time before, and is familiar with this kind of business."

General Vasilevsky nodded and agreed with the Chief of Staff's suggestion very much. Those who came down from the Cheka are very familiar with stalking and tracking. Such a professional talent is really needed to do such brain cell-intensive work, Pozhnev Husband's suggestion can be said to be wise and make good use of it.

"Okay, in the name of the Political Department of the Front Army, I will issue an order to appoint Major General Vasideski, the head of the Defense Department of the Front Army, as the commander and political commissar of the rear purge command. The authority of this command is to mobilize the west of the Ural Mountains, Any local garrison of the Outer Mongolian Front will be directly responsible to me and report to me," General Vasilevsky said very simply.

I have done everything I need to do, and I still need to wait for five difficult days before my million-strong army can launch an attack. Five days is enough for that opponent in Minusinsk, that cunning Chinese Tang Qiu Li, I have done a lot of things, and I am looking forward to meeting Tang Qiuli, who defeated several generals of the Soviet Red Army, on the grasslands of Outer Mongolia. I hope that this god of death, who has buried more than one million Red Army soldiers, will not let himself disappointment.

General Vasilevsky's murderous gaze pierced the blue sky, across the Ural Mountains, and looked at Minusinsk, where his opponent Tang Qiuli was.

On the morning of March [-].Minusinsk, the frontline headquarters of the Independent Division. Unlike Vasilevsky, Tang Qiuli is obviously in a good mood. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, looking at the empty streets, the city is silent and empty, blue Under the clear sky, the Russian-style buildings covered with thick snow have a special charm.

A heavy snow.Coupled with Meng Qingpeng's bomber unit, he bought himself at least five or six days, and the actions of the Chutian Special Operations Detachment blocked the Soviet Air Force, which had air superiority, in its old nest.In less than three weeks, the Soviets would never even think about flying a plane into the sky.My biggest worry.At least for now, you can ignore it and fight on the ground. Have you ever been afraid of any opponent?

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe walked into the office and said, "Master, according to your order. The northern flight group's Outer Mongolia cruise area and all field airports have begun to evacuate. Commander Meng Qingpeng has already led a mixed fleet formation and is on the way to Pingjin. .”

Tang Qiuli withdrew his gaze from a distance, and said with some emotion: "This is a big move, all the equipment has to be transported away, the airport runway has to be destroyed, we can't leave anything usable for the Soviet army. "

"Reconstruction in the future will be a huge expense. It's real money. Thinking about it makes me feel distressed. Yuhe, who do we ask for this money?" He asked, changing the subject.

Zhao Yuhe smiled, and cleverly replied: "Master, anyway, you have a lot of solutions. We don't have to pay for this money. It will always fall on the heads of the Soviets or the Japanese!"

Tang Qiuli laughed, "It's easy to say, so I won't be a scammer? Whether it's Stalin or Hirohito, they are the masters who don't want to suffer!" He said feigned anger.

Zhao Yuhe replied solemnly: "Master, whether it's Stalin or that shitty emperor of Japan, is it not rare for you to be ripped off by you?"

Tang Qiuli shook his head with a smile, and asked suddenly: "Yuhe, if you are Vasilevsky and have more than 160 million heavy troops in your hands, you may estimate that his attack plan, we have learned that the passage of the Ural Mountains What will happen after repair?"

Zhao Yuhe secretly lamented that most people really can't keep up with the leaping thinking of the teacher, but he has gotten used to it. After thinking about it, he replied concisely: "It's very simple, two words 'crushing'!"

Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe with great interest, and said, "Oh, this is a fresh idea. Let's talk about it specifically, what is 'crushing'?" In his tone, there was a sense of sophistication and encouragement .

Zhao Yuhe let go of his thinking and replied: "According to the ratio of the strength of the Soviet army and our army, it has reached ten to one. The newly formed Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army alone has more than 160 million troops. If we It is Vasilevsky, who will mobilize all forces to form an absolute advantage. With a heavy army group and powerful firepower, it will crush all opponents who dare to block. These more than 160 million troops are advancing in unison and menacing. Isn't it forming a crushing situation? Potential!"

"Sufficient troops are Vasilevsky's confidence. He is not afraid that we will learn about his offensive plan and ambush. We will not be able to eat up the Soviet troops who entered the ambush circle. If we are not careful, we will be surrounded instead. It is even more impossible, the strength of the two Soviet armies is equivalent to our strength, so with 160 million troops in hand, this person has nothing to fear!"

Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "It's a very vivid metaphor. In your opinion, Vasilevsky will not change his attack plan?"

Zhao Yuhe quickly replied: "No need, it would be a waste of time to adjust the deployment of more than 100 million troops. From the intelligence of the Chutian detachment leader, we can see that Vasilevsky's intention is to use five The group army, with more than 50 troops, attacked Minusinsk, and with more than 100 million troops, attacked Kulun, and the plan was to capture Kulun and Saiyinshanda first, cut off our retreat back to the country, and then go north to encircle our army."

"At the same time, the newly formed Soviet Baikal Front Army, with 100 million troops, will also go south to attack Kulun, cutting off the possibility of our army retreating eastward step by step, and joining with Deputy Division Commander Liu Dongzhi's troops. It is east of the Ural Mountains and north of Kulun. The area formed a large triangular encirclement, with a total of more than 260 million Soviet troops, even with a pile of people, we can drown us, so Vasilevsky will not change the deployment, but will only seize time and launch an attack as soon as possible!"

After a pause, Zhao Yuhe went on to say: "Master, in my judgment, Vasilevsky, I wish we could compete repeatedly with the Soviet armies of the five armies around Minusinsk. It would be better if we were entangled here. , probably the Soviets also know that you are good at using tactics with your troops, and 50 is a weaker route compared with more than 100 million. Is this the Vasilevsky version of "showing the enemy to be weak"?"

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "The analysis is very reasonable. If I have such a strong army in hand, I won't worry about the opponent's traps. According to the established plan, attack the city and pull out the stronghold, capture the target, and attack with all hands and feet. Yes, Fahrenheit "crushed" me, and I responded with "circle", no matter whether he is "showing the enemy's weakness", there must be a battle around Minusinsk, Yuhe, the record is as follows Order!"

"The [-]rd, [-]th, [-]th, [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th brigades of the directly subordinate corps, the [-]rd, [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th armored brigades, the corps artillery, the [-]st and [-]nd air defense brigades, Gather to Minusinsk in a concealed manner, and remember that the march of the troops must be at night."

"The Ninth, Tenth, No.11, and No.12 Brigades immediately rushed to Chagannur, Bayanleg, Hujiertu, and Buridu Wusu on the east side of the Tangnu Mountain Range to set up an ambush. The above four brigades The specific task is to set up an ambush and beat the vanguard of the four-way Soviet army, and immediately withdraw from the battlefield without entanglement with the Soviet army. The retreat location is Ulan Guben, waiting for the next order from the division commander."

"Deputy Commander Liu Zhidong pointed out the troops, immediately gave up Chita and retreated southward, and returned to the western Liaoning area."

Zhao Yuhe didn't have any opinion on the division commander's previous order. He just ordered the East Pointing troops to withdraw to the west of Liaoning, but it was puzzling. Therefore, Zhao Yuhe couldn't help asking: "Master, why did you order Deputy Division Commander Liu's troops to abandon the Red Army? Ta, the battlefield is currently in the western part of Outer Mongolia, and it will not reach the eastern part for the time being. If all the troops from the Eastern Command are withdrawn to the west of Liaoning, we will truly be alone!"

Regarding Zhao Yuhe's question, Tang Qiuli did not show any sign of impatience. No one could understand this order. The 10,000+ troops pointed to the east, from the east of Outer Mongolia to Chita, can be the backup of the directly subordinate corps. The situation on the battlefield is unfavorable to the directly subordinate corps. To put it bluntly, in case the directly subordinate corps is bitten by the Soviet army, Dong Zhi can stretch out his hand to pull it. .

"Yuhe, the core gist of our plan for the Outer Mongolia Campaign is not to stay in Outer Mongolia and fight recklessly with the Soviet army. Therefore, the situation where the directly subordinate corps is encircled by the Soviet army will not happen. Don't forget, except for us In addition to the two front armies of the Soviet Army, there is also the Outer Xing'anling Front Army of the Soviet Army with a strength of more than 150 million. The targets of the Soviet Army's attack are the Dongzhi troops first, and then the Japanese Kwantung Army troops."

"The troops of the East Pointing Army keep out of the way and adopt a posture of avoiding the war. The first punch of the Soviet Outer Xing'anling Front Army will hit the Kwantung Army. We are happy to see the Soviet Army and the Japanese Kwantung Army choke. Under the pressure of soldiers, Chita is an important goal that the Soviet army must seize. Instead of defending a place that is bound to be lost, why not avoid its edge and watch from the sidelines."

"If the Eastern Finger troops do not withdraw, even if they pay a huge price, they will not be able to stop the strong advance of the Soviet army of more than 150 million troops. What's more, there is the Japanese Kwantung Army with ulterior motives. No one can guarantee that the Soviets and The Japanese compromised temporarily and reached an agreement to jointly besiege the Dongzhi troops. With Stalin's behavior style, he is absolutely capable. Therefore, it seems that the battlefield is in the west of Outer Mongolia. In fact, the situation of the Dongzhi troops is even more dangerous. Withdraw, wouldn't it be waiting to suffer!"

Zhao Yuhe replied respectfully: "Master, I understand, I will issue your order to all the troops immediately!"
