Age of Rebirth

General Vasilevsky, the commander and political commissar of the Outer Mongolia Front Army, explained why he has not taken action for a long time. Marshal Petroshilov, the chief of staff of the Soviet Army, has an indescribable feeling, which can be understood as he is cautious. , or in other words, make a decision before making a move, if you don't fight a battle that is sure, or if you line up your troops, your shot is a thunderous blow, which will deal a devastating blow to the troops of the Ul Division.

But in terms of the situation in the entire Outer Mongolia region, Vasilevsky was a little too cautious. Except for the area south of Kulun, it was occupied by the Soviet Red Army. Then, Tang Qiuli's troops would definitely be in Saiyinshanda , It is also possible that he returned to China, or in other words, during the battle of Minusinsk, the Chinese Tang Qiuli's fierce attack made him terrified, and his cautious appearance concealed his inner cowardice.

But no matter what the situation is, it should not be the reason why General Vasilevsky, who has more than one million soldiers in his hands, has not launched an attack on Sai Yinshanda for a long time.

Of course, Marshal Petroshilov would never mention these words in front of Comrade Stalin. His own judgments are all speculations. Long, sometimes, it is not good to intervene too deeply. Offending Vasilevsky, who is highly valued by Comrade Stalin, is of no benefit to himself.

However, now that Comrade Stalin has inquired, Marshal Petroshilov has nothing to hide, and there is no need to hide it, so Comrade Chief of General Staff repeated the contents of General Vasilevsky's telegram , did not dare to mix a little water. [

Stalin listened, the more he listened, the more he felt uncomfortable, his face became more and more ugly, "Enough, Comrade Petroshilov, I don't want to listen to this nonsense anymore, Vasilevsky disappointed me very much, Outer Mongolia The situation of the battle is already very clear, except for the Saiyinshanda area south of Kulun, which is not occupied, is there any hiding place for the Chinese troops in other areas?"

"Earlier, the other unit of the ul division that occupied the Chita area also retreated back to China in a panic under our strong military pressure. He will fight out all his attempts, and use his energy to scout the specific location of the Ul Division troops. It is not terrible to lose some troops. We have exhausted soldiers in the Soviet Union, and I will replenish as many as we lose!"

"The terrible thing is that the frontline commanders are hesitant, even timid, and thus miss the opportunity. I think the only reason why Vasilevsky didn't immediately attack Seinshander is that he has fear in his heart. Behind his cautiousness, is Lack of confidence in our victory!" Stalin said angrily.

Marshal Petroshilov, without saying a word, listened quietly to the angry words of Comrade Stalin. In fact, under such circumstances, he could not intervene or express his opinions. It was not appropriate to agree or disagree. During the period It is difficult to determine the scale, and the only policy is to be silent. However, Comrade Stalin will soon have an order, and he just respects it and implements it!

After Stalin lost his temper, he probably felt that he had lost his composure. He took a sip of his pipe, calmed down, and said, "In the name of the General Staff, Vasilevsky is ordered to deal with Seinshan within two days at the latest. Da launched an attack and opened the passage to China's Inner Mongolia region. Any attempt by Chen Bing on the Sino-Mongolian border and Tang Qiuli's will be exposed, either to counterattack, or to continue to retreat, no matter which one is, it is for us Say, it’s all very beneficial!”

Stalin is really experienced in using troops. He has an overwhelmingly superior force. He should not be fooled by the opponent's fake moves. He will crush him all the way and capture Saiyin Shanda. The troops of the Ul Division will inevitably be exposed in Outer Mongolia In front of the front army, on the local battlefield, and in the face of absolute strength, any strategy and strategy are empty words. In other words, you Vasilevsky has more than 100 million troops in his hands. What are you afraid of?

On April 40, the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army, which had been staying in Kulun, finally moved. The commander of the Front Army, General Vasilevsky, was very cautious and divided the troops into three echelons. More than [-] troops, divided into four groups, the distance between the various armies is no more than [-] kilometers, and they go hand in hand to avoid the tragedy of the No.[-] Third Army on the outer battlefield of Minusinsk. Tang Qiuli caught the lone army Outstanding opportunity to take a bite.

The second echelon is the strength of the three armies, which are commanded by Vasilevsky himself and supported in the middle. The other army unit, as the general reserve of the battle, also serves as the rear guard of the front army. echo.

All of a sudden, like a surge of hoarse water, millions of Soviet troops poured out, heading south to Saiyinshanda, across the southern grasslands of Outer Mongolia, and on all the roads from Kulun to the south, there were endless Soviet troops The marching infantry, the long dust-like trucks, and the tanks and armored vehicles rumbling past were astonishing, rolling in with a soaring murderous aura, as if the army was overwhelming!

Tang Qiuli, who received the report from the reconnaissance unit, breathed a sigh of relief. If the Soviet army remained in Kulun, he would have been unable to figure out Stalin's steps. Now, what should come, has finally come.

Tang Qiuli put down the telegram and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, Vasilevsky has finally moved. The order is directly under the [-]st, [-]nd, and [-]rd Brigades of the Corps. They are on the left wing of the first echelon of the Soviet Army. The [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th Brigades, on the right flank of the first echelon of the Soviet Army, launched an attack simultaneously when the first echelon of the Soviet Army entered the area around Alatan Hill.”

"The purpose of the operation is to disperse the first round of troops of the Soviet army attacking Saiyin Shanda, to contain and delay the speed of the Soviet army's action, to tell the six brigade commanders that they must not conduct in-depth attacks, and to keep a certain distance from the main force of the Soviet army to avoid being encircled. !"

"The seventh and eighth brigades directly under the Corps are on the left wing of the second echelon of the Soviet army, and the ninth and tenth brigades are on the right wing of the second echelon of the Soviet army. The attack, the objectives and requirements of the campaign, were the same as those for attacking the first echelon of the Soviet Army."

"Order, Liu Cuigang's Northern Flying Group will dispatch no less than ten fighter regiments and five bomber regiments starting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to carry out uninterrupted air strikes and strikes against the three echelons of the Soviet Army's marching ranks. Bombing, when will it end, wait for the order from the division headquarters!"

"The troops belonging to the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, the troops belonging to the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, and the remaining troops directly under the Corps are on the front line of Saiyinshan, blocking the Soviet army from the front. All defensive facilities must be activated during the first day of battle. , to ensure that the defensive troops exert maximum firepower!"

Tang Qiuli's order is quite meaningful. In the defensive battle, all the hole cards will be played on the first day, and no one will be left behind. The purpose of this is to make the first day of the offensive and defensive battle, Take out the greatest strike force to dampen the vigor and morale of the Soviet army. Moreover, the first battle must be a blow with all the strength of Vasilevsky. opportunity.

Tang Qiuli didn't mind sending tens of thousands or even more Soviet soldiers to hell on the day of the first battle, turning Sai Yinshan into a meat grinder for Soviet soldiers.

After a pause, Tang Qiuli glanced at the large military map of Outer Mongolia, and then said: "In addition, the first, second, third, and fourth cavalry brigades of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps are under the command of Liu Hun, the cavalry commander. Next, bypass the frontal battlefield, detour to the rear of the Soviet army from a long distance, launch an attack on Kulun, and cut off the Soviet army's logistics supply line."

"It is especially emphasized that the attack on Kulun is a feint attack. The four cavalry brigades mainly aim at destroying the Soviet army's logistics. They should adopt a flexible combat method and use the long-distance and fast characteristics of the cavalry to fight. If the Soviet army reaches as high as [-], if one group army is transferred back, it will be a victory!" [

Tang Qiuli's tactics are currently the most feasible way of fighting. Facing the superior Soviet army, even though he has assembled three semi-field regiments, his own strength is only about 70, which is comparable to the Soviet army's 140 troops. Compared with the [-] troops, they were still at a disadvantage. Through the flank attacks at the two points of Alatan Hiller and Harvenlag, the Soviet troops attacking Kulun were thinned out, and the pressure on the troops on the frontal battlefield was reduced to the greatest extent.

This is like facing a raging torrential flood. The frontal embankment is under enormous pressure and is in danger of breaking the embankment at any time. Then adopt the method of diverting the flood to minimize the impact of the flood peak. According to Tang Qiu According to Li's design, the number of Soviet troops that will eventually reach the front line of Saiyinshanda should not exceed 80. On the frontline of Saiyinshanda, there will be ten brigades of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, twelve brigades of the Outer Mongolia Frontier Defense Army, and two directly subordinate corps. within the strength of the brigade.

In particular, the four cavalry brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps went deep into the Kulun area, attacked the Soviet army's logistics supply line, and attacked Kulun even more fiercely. They pinched the Soviet army's fate and "forced" Vasilevsky. If you don’t turn around to deal with the threat from the rear, the logistics supply line will be cut off, and the more than 100 million troops in the front will have difficulties eating and drinking, guns and medicines. The largest logistics supply base of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front Army is in Kulun. The lair has been attacked, can the war still be fought?

Tang Qiuli dispatched troops and generals to deploy the Saiyinshanda campaign. The ten mechanized infantry brigades of the directly subordinate regiment and the four cavalry brigades of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps were ordered to leave the station and rush forward in the direction of the Soviet army rushing towards them.

If you look down from a high altitude, the troops of the Soviet Army and the ul division crossed each other on the vast grassland and Gobi in southern Outer Mongolia. The distance between them was so large that the scouts on both sides could not find each other. Of course, Tang Qiuli asked the troops to detour to the two flanks of the Soviet army at a large distance, and the result was deliberately avoided.
