Age of Rebirth

Stalin, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union and Chairman of the Council of Ministers, did have such a plan. Whether it is China’s Inner Mongolia or the Northeast region, he has a huge attraction. In the past, the Soviet Union’s military strength in the Eastern region was insufficient. It's just an idea, a thought buried deep in my heart. Now, more than 600 million Soviet Red Army troops are gathered in the east. With enough confidence, the hidden idea in my heart has changed from ready to move into actual action.

Regarding the ancient, weak, and turbulent territory in the north of the ancient country in the south, Stalin embraced his crazy fantasy more than once in his arms. This idea burned his heart like a fire, and became a monster that woke up in his heart from time to time , Now, this monster has finally broken through all the fetters, so at this moment, Stalin's heart is extremely happy and excited.

Whether it was the Japanese Kwantung Army's occupation of the Far East, or Tang Qiuli's independent division troops attacking the Soviet Army in Outer Mongolia, it was nothing more than giving Stalin the most reasonable excuses and reasons to send troops openly and to eliminate them with excuses. The reason for the threat to the Soviet Union's eastern territories was the fact of occupying the Northeast and Inner Mongolia.

Therefore, in the face of the astonishment and astonishment of all Politburo members, Stalin said calmly: "Comrades, don't have any hesitation about this point. This is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. On the battlefield of the British Isles, when we are temporarily unable to escape, it is my unshakable determination to completely eliminate the threat to us from the Japanese and Chinese, and to occupy Inner Mongolia and Manchuria!"

Now that the leaders are unshakable, what can the members of the Politburo say, finally, in the name of the Politburo of the CPSU.A resolution was formed to attack the Japanese Kwantung Army, and Tang Qiuli's independent division entered Manchuria and Inner Mongolia. The Soviets were going to fight in the east.

The decision of the Politburo meeting was quite depressing for General Gregarif, the commander and political commissar of the Soviet Baikal Front Army. In terms of honor and harvest, the joint attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army with the other two front armies did not bear the responsibility alone. The independent division attacking Tang Qiuli was rich in troops.Dividing a piece of cake among three people and eating it all are two different concepts, but this is the decision of the Politburo.

To put it bluntly, it was Comrade Stalin's decision.Even if General Gregarif had the guts, he would not dare to offend Comrade Stalin's majesty.March [-]th.Two days after occupying Kulun, in the city of Kulun, they welcomed General Vasilevsky and his party from the Outer Mongolian Front Army who rushed here before the main force arrived.

The meeting of two senior Soviet generals and the commander of the front army.Not happy, Vasilevsky still had a fire in his heart, not just because of the painful telegram.And blame General Greg Garriff for stealing his limelight.

As for General Gregarriff, he didn't feel well either. He always felt that the Politburo was a bit biased towards this bucket-shaped guy. He shot Cullen himself, although he didn't fire a single shot. After all, it is the first to occupy Kulun, so why did they hand over Kulun, which was occupied by the Lake Baikal Front Army, to the Outer Mongolian Front Army? My own troops were in Kulun, and they rushed to Chita without even sitting on their buttocks. It's really different!

Therefore, as soon as the two met, the atmosphere was a little cold and hostile. General Gregarif and General Vasilevsky, at the risk of danger, took the guards and the staff of the Front Army Command to throw the large troops away. Behind him, Cullen rushed over in a hurry, explaining that he couldn't wait!

As for General Vasilevsky, he interpreted the indifferent expression of the general with the same rank as himself in front of him as complacency, the kind of complacency that came from the heart, taking credit for himself.

Therefore, as soon as the two opened their mouths, there was a choking smell of gunpowder, "Comrade Vasilevsky, I have ordered the General Staff to hand over Kullen to you intact. There is one important point, Kullen It is absolutely safe, please feel free to enter and receive your ministry, as for those Chinese, they will never have the opportunity to carry out so-called surprise attacks and harassment by the Outer Mongolia Front Army.”

"There is no potential danger in the combat area of ​​our Lake Baikal Front Army, because they have all been wiped out by us!" General Gregarif's words, although understated, can be heard by everyone, the sour smell.

The same old and cunning General Vasilevsky, how could he not understand the meaning of General Gregarif's words, insinuating that he got something for nothing, and even alluding to the Outer Mongolia Front Army, who was hit head-on by Tang Qiuli in the Tangnu Mountains, On the outer battlefield of Minusinsk, an army group was lost. On the way to attack Kulun, it was constantly harassed by small groups of independent divisions.

General Vasilevsky, who was thick and fat, glanced at him calmly. General Gregarif, who was a head shorter than himself, smiled coldly, and replied: "Comrade Gregarif, our Outer Mongolian Front Army crossed the Ural Mountains. And Tangnu Mountains, after several big battles and countless small-scale battles along the way, Tang Qiuli's troops were forced to flee in embarrassment. Almost my hiding place was fought by more than 100 million officers and soldiers of our department! "

"In this regard, I am envious of Comrade Gregarif. He sent troops out of Lake Baikal, occupied Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude, and then occupied Kulun. The journey went smoothly without firing a single shot. Down marching, your luck makes me jealous, what do you say, Comrade Gregarriff!"

Vasilevsky's retaliation was also unceremonious, satirizing the Lake Baikal Front Army, taking advantage of the bloody battle between the Outer Mongolian Front Army and Tang Qiuli's independent division troops in the western region, to pick up a big deal, not because of how powerful it is. It's just luck!

With these words, General Gregarif turned pale with anger, and gave a cold military salute, "Comrade Vasilevsky, I must command the troops to set off. I wish you good luck and destroy the independent division troops as soon as possible. Let me remind you , that cunning Chinese is hard to deal with, don’t make Minusinsk’s mistake again, goodbye!” After finishing speaking, he turned and got into the car, and drove away, leaving Vasilevsky in the windy weather.

Vasilevsky was so angry that his face was livid. The destruction of the No.40 Third Army in Minusinsk was a permanent scar in his heart and the greatest shame. Passing the submachine gun of the guards around him, a shuttle of bullets, sent this annoying guy to the sky!

Sulking for a while, Vasilevsky said to the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Pozhnev, with a gloomy face: "Comrade chief of staff, order the troops belonging to each group army to send scouts to attack the independent forces within the range from Kulun to Saiyinshanda. The division troops conduct all-round reconnaissance, and your staff immediately formulate a plan for the Saiyinshanda campaign!"

Tang Qiuli, who withdrew to Saiyinshanda, paid close attention to the movement of the Soviet army in the direction of Kulun. When he learned that the Baikal Front Army had already moved towards Chita, and the Outer Mongolian Front Army had entered Kulun, he immediately judged that Stalin's spearhead had already It aimed at the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Outer Xing'an Mountains. In this way, before the Kwantung Army was dealt with, it was impossible to raise troops on a large scale and invade Outer Mongolia.

Today is March [-]th, and there are still eleven days before Hitler launches the war against the Soviet Union, and the Soviet army's battle against the Japanese Kwantung Army will never end in just over ten days. They flooded into the western border of the Soviet Union like this. When Stalin was in a state of desperation, he still talked about attacking Inner Mongolia and the Northeast region. It is important to save his life first!

Facing the ferocious attack of the Germans, Stalin, who was powerless to stop him, would definitely transfer the troops used in the East back to the West. However, if he wanted to leave at that time, Stalin could not help him. He launched the four main forces along the border. The Corps, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Soviet army's eagerness to retreat, attacked across the board. If they don't kill the Soviet army in the east, they just need to hold back. At that time, Stalin will take the initiative to come to the door and ask for negotiations. will be officially launched.

And for more than ten days, under the onslaught of more than 400 million Soviet troops, even if the Japanese Kwantung Army could sustain it, it would be severely injured. Even if it was not wiped out, it would bleed profusely and be extremely weak. Of course, Li would not miss this opportunity. The so-called "take advantage of his illness and kill him" is the truth. For the Japanese, he can use any means, including honest and shameless.

Therefore, Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe, Chief of Staff: "The Soviet army targeted the Japanese Kwantung Army. This was the beginning of a change in the situation in the entire Far East. Objectively, it created opportunities for us, and the Japanese had to bear it." Now, when the Kwantung Army is battered and bruised, it will be the day when we regain the Northeast!"

However, it will take a while for now. Vasilevsky’s Outer Mongolian Front Army stationed troops in Kulun, and the next attack target must be Sai Yinshanda. Now, the northern, western and eastern regions of Outer Mongolia are all being blocked by time. Occupation is only south of Saiyinshanda, and the Soviet army has not yet occupied it. It is not difficult for Vasilevsky to judge that the main force of the independent division is in the area of ​​Saiyinshanda, unless it is returned to the country.

The Soviet Baikal Front Army went eastward to participate in the attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army, which indeed relieved Tang Qiuli's pressure. At the very least, he didn't need more than 20 troops directly under the Corps, facing the Soviet Army's two fronts with more than 200 million troops. Ten to one comparison of troops, even with Tang Qiuli's two generations as a man, with insight into the opportunities and moves a few steps ahead of the opponent, the scalp can't help but tingle!

More than ten days before Hitler attacked the Soviet Union, there was another problem. Tang Qiuli faced the front line of Sai Yinshanda, how to deal with the attack of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army?
