Age of Rebirth

The chief of staff of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army, Lieutenant General Pozhnevpo, his monotonous voice echoed in the tent. After announcing the campaign plan, he asked with an expression on his face: "That comrade has a different opinion on the command's battle plan. Speak out your opinion face to face!"

All the senior generals of the Soviet army who participated in the meeting were silent, their faces were cloudy and uncertain, and they looked very embarrassed. This was an attitude in itself. When they saw General Vasilevsky, they felt angry, and the battle was imminent. Facing an extremely fierce and cunning enemy, the commanders' aura is so unbearable, how can we fight this battle?

However, General Vasilevsky, who is experienced in leading troops, knows the inner thoughts of the generals. He stood up and said: "Comrades, we should not only see the difficulties in front of us, but also take a long-term view. , Our military strength far surpasses Tang Qiuli's troops, this is our greatest advantage!"

"I know the worries of comrades. Without artillery and tanks, how can we attack Sai Yinshanda, which has a perfect defense system and is easy to defend and difficult to attack?" He said this, his voice suddenly raised, "I might as well tell comrades Ladies and gentlemen, the issues you are worried about have long been considered by the headquarters. Before this meeting, I have ordered that the First and Second Artillery Corps of the Front Army go to Saiyinshanda overnight!"

"In addition, there are front army tank units also marching in together. Before tomorrow evening, they must reach the offensive position and provide you with the necessary artillery support. I will not let my soldiers, with their flesh and blood, attack the solid Fortifications, all worries should be dispelled, right?"[

This is Vasilevsky, for the first wave of offensive troops, the firepower preparations provided within his capacity are at great risk. The reader is not there, and the bombers and bombers that will swoop down from the sky at any time Fighter fighters are the biggest threat and killer on the way of artillery and tank troops. In order to avoid danger, they can only operate at night and hide in forests or mountains during the day.

However, in order to ensure a smooth attack, I don’t care so much. If you have the air supremacy, you don’t need to hide like this. However, the air supremacy is in the hands of the Chinese. , must provide maximum fire support and offensive cover for the first wave of offensive infantry."

"For each offensive front, we must ensure more than 150 large-caliber artillery pieces and more than [-] tanks. You should think about the specific methods yourself. I only want results!" General Vasilevsky looked at the artillery commander of the front army with piercing eyes. The member and the commander of the armored forces said, with a cold tone in their tone.

Everyone knows that since going south, in the face of air raids and bombings by Li division planes, artillery units and tank units are like rats. They dare not show their faces during the day. In the evening, when the sky was lighted and rested, and the sky was completely dark, they acted, and lived a life of black and white upside down. Now, if the commander issued such an order, wouldn't it be exposed to the plane of the reading division?

The commanders of the two arms wanted to explain and refute. Isn't this nonsense? It is very likely that the artillery and tanks will become piles of scrap metal before Seinshander arrives, but Comrade Commander With murderous eyes and livid faces, the two of them swallowed the words that came to their lips, and the trouble came out of their mouths!

As for the commanders of other infantry units, there is nothing to say. The commander has already said what he said. Whoever emphasizes the difficulties and finds reasons is self-inflicted. In all fairness, the choice of attack time is definitely not good. The ground is getting darker and darker, which is not good for the attacking side. However, Comrade Commander has made up his mind. get ready.

After the meeting, General Vasilevsky returned to his tent. For some reason, it was already late at night, and the complicated things that had happened in the past few days made him anxious, restless, and hardly slept peacefully. Now the overall situation Basically settled down, it's time to relax, but after returning to the tent, he was a little excited and couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning, but it was definitely not because of tomorrow's seemingly sure attack, but because there was a feeling in his heart. I can't tell the truth!

I can't say why, but I really feel it, but it's so vague that I don't have a clue. It's because the scheming Chinese Tang Qiuli behaved unreasonably. With tens of thousands of troops heading south, even if the main force of the Reading Division did not block it head-on, there should still be some small groups of troops harassing and delaying their actions. However, seven or eight days have passed since the departure from Kulun.

The ground troops of the reading force division did not show up, but a large number of combat planes came. Then there is a question, whether Tang Qiuli's troops are really in Saiyin Shanda, or he has a bigger conspiracy, maybe it is all possible , not to do any form of blocking, but not Tang Qiuli's style. Could it be that the Chinese really wants to fight a head-to-head offensive and defensive battle with himself in Sai Yinshanda?

It's not just these things that made Vasilevsky see the general's uneasiness. He felt that the Chinese was too calm. Could it be that he was waiting for some opportunity?

General Vasilevsky, who tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, felt empty and unsure, and vaguely felt that there might be some earth-shattering event about to happen?

On the night of April [-]th, Sai Yinshanda, in the front-line headquarters of the reading division, Tang Qiuli leaned back quietly on the chair, and the "tick" sound from the telecommunications room next door came clearly, setting off the night It was even more peaceful. The northwest wind outside rolled up dust and gravel and hit the roof with a "rustling" sound. He closed his eyes slightly, and his face was as calm as water. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe had given orders, but no one Come in and disturb him.

But Tang Qiuli's heart is by no means as calm as it appears on the surface. Now, it is already more than ten o'clock in the night on April [-]th, and it is less than eight hours before Hitler attacked the Soviet Union. It stands to reason that the German General Staff , There should have been a secret telegram, informing me that the German army had started to move, but no, since it got dark, I was waiting in the headquarters, and Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, personally guarded the unsecret radio station.

The abnormal behavior of the Germans made Tang Qiuli think a lot. It was absolutely impossible for Hitler to release his pigeons, but it was possible to change the date of the attack, for example, to postpone it by three to five days because of insufficient preparation. Yes, if this is the case, his battle plan will have to be adjusted accordingly.

The waiting was so hard, Tang Qiuli didn't like the occurrence and development of the incident, the feeling that he was out of control, but the war situation has developed to this day, and it is no longer under his control. All the treasures are on the Germans , if the Germans delay the attack on the Soviet Union, the battle of Seinsander will be inevitable. Even if you don't want to fight, the more than 50 Soviet troops are already approaching your door, and you have to fight if you don't fight!

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came in through the door gently. Tang Qiuli opened his eyes suddenly. Zhao Yuhe shook his head and said nothing, but his expression told him that there was still no news from the Germans, and Zhao Yuhe's expression was also the same. Uneasy, he hesitated to speak.

Tang Qiuli suddenly laughed, and said, "Yuhe, are you losing your temper?"

Zhao Yuhe's face turned red, and he admitted honestly, "Yes, sir, I am a little uneasy. In the afternoon, you told me that the German army will attack the Soviet Union at dawn tomorrow. I believe your words, but The Soviets would not have noticed such a big move by the German army, but you see, the Outer Mongolian Front Army is still preparing to attack Saiyinshanda. In the Far East, the Soviet army is beating hard around the Kwantung Army. The outbreak of war!"

Tang Qiuli's eyes flickered, and he said with a slight smile: "Many times, wars break out without any warning. It happened suddenly, the war is coming to us, let's wait, even if the German army does not launch an attack on the Soviet Union on time, we will not let us be busy with the troops on the left and right flanks of the three group armies in the first echelon of the Soviet army Your feet are messed up, what else do you worry about?" [

Zhao Yuhe thought for a while, and felt that the teacher's words were a bit mysterious, but he never retorted, "Yuhe, after tomorrow's dawn, the battle situation will change fundamentally. Liu Hongzhang also stayed at the baggage storage for a long time." Now, I don’t know how I feel about cultivating my mind and surname, I’m going to let him go back to the first brigade, Liu Chenglin is probably reluctant to do it, and he is walking on thin ice as the acting brigade commander, so it’s hard for him, what’s your opinion?”

Zhao Yuhe also smiled, and said: "According to your instructions, after the troops withdrew to Saiyinshanda, I talked with Brigadier Commander Liu several times. To tell you the truth, he always believed that his decision to fight back was a mistake. That's right, but Brigadier Liu talked about his mistakes from another angle, and he didn't complain about your demoting him to the position of deputy battalion commander in the logistics force, and he did it very well, The excitement is beyond comprehension!"

"The battalion he was in was about to be trained as a field army by him. He also told me that he planned to work in the logistics army for the rest of his life. He said that it was more enjoyable than being in the field army. The position is a very correct decision, I have been to the first brigade several times, without Brigadier Liu, the whole army seems to lack a lot of energy!"

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Yuhe, haven't you heard it yet? That guy is protesting with me. You are a stubborn donkey. You can give the order, but you can't let him go until after dawn tomorrow." He returns to the army!"

Zhao Yuhe went out with a smile. Tang Qiuli walked forward and looked at the dark night sky, "Hitler, what are you doing?" he said to himself.
