Age of Rebirth

On the night of April [-]th, in Saiyinshanda, an important town in southern Outer Mongolia, Tang Qiuli had been sitting in his house for more than two hours. The northwest wind outside the window was howling more and more fiercely. Looking at the night sky outside the window, there are already messy snowflakes falling from the night sky, but they are blown around by the northwest wind, leaving no trace.

The cow dung fire in the stove has been burned out, only embers are left, and there is still a little bit of red light. The temperature in the house is no longer hot and dry, but rather cold, but Tang Qiuli's heart is still rolling With a ball of fire, as time went by, the restlessness and anxiety in his heart became more and more intense.

After taking a sip of the cold tea and looking at his watch, the hour hand was already pointing to midnight on April [-]th. Tang Qiuli smiled wryly to himself, "Hitler still let the pigeons go. Sure enough, except for his own army, no one else can count on the same. However, even if the date of the German army’s attack on the Soviet Union was postponed, Hitler should have something to say, until now, there has been no news, what’s going on?” He thought to himself.

I can't wait any longer. The hidden troops on the two flanks of the Soviet army should immediately adjust their deployment and prepare to face the Soviet army. A big battle with Sai Yinshanda is still unavoidable. It's ridiculous. Before that, I was still full of confidence, thinking that everything would happen. Under his own control, "Yuhe! Yuhe!" Tang Qiuli called out to his chief of staff.

Zhao Yuhe was in the room next door to the staff office, and together with the chief of staff, Ge Zhenzhuang, they were studying the deployment against the Soviet army. Although the commander concluded that Sai Yinshanda would not be able to fight, as the chief of staff, he still had to prepare for a big fight. Ready, are you prepared?

Hearing the teacher's shout, Zhao Yuhe hurriedly opened the door and came in, "Master, do you have anything to do?" He asked.

Tang Qiuli let out a long breath, as if expressing the depression in his heart, a trace of disappointment and annoyance flashed in his calm eyes, and said: "Yuhe, the Germans can't count on it, and they are ready to fight the Soviet army. Give my order..."

Before he finished speaking, the teacher pointed to Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, and rushed in.Probably the matter was very urgent, and even knocking on the door was omitted, "Master, the Germans have sent a telegram, and everything is going according to the original plan!" Chen Feng's tone.With a shudder, he knew it.For this telegram.Both the division commander and the chief of staff were anxiously waiting, and it was related to the changes in the battle situation. Moreover, Chen Feng had never seen the division commander so restless.

Tang Qiuli closed his eyes to calm down his turbulent emotions.A window seemed to open in my heart, endless fresh air poured in together, all the anxiety and uneasiness.It disappeared in an instant, and after a long time, he said jokingly: "Hitler, a lunatic, is really calm. He is testing my patience. Perhaps, he is more looking for psychological balance!" He took the telegram smoothly.

"My old friend, when you read this telegram, we have more than 600 million German troops on the Polish side of the Polish-Soviet border, and have made all preparations for the attack. The attack time reported last time remains unchanged. Please forgive me, my old friend, I did not officially inform you until a few hours before the offensive was launched. It is a matter of the fate of Germany, so I have to be cautious. Before the offensive is launched, it must be confirmed that the Russians have no preparations and precautions."

"Now it seems that the Barbarossa plan has reached a mature time, and this time was created by an old friend under extremely difficult circumstances. For this, I am very grateful in my heart. The great German team, started From the moment of attack, the pattern of the world will change completely. On the eastern battlefield, there will also be opportunities that benefit old friends. Your long-cherished wish can also be realized. Let us look forward to it together with excitement and anxiety. The arrival of a major event that will change the world!"

"About the situation on the Russian battlefield, my general staff will keep you informed. You know, the German army has no secrets in front of you. Similarly, I also hope to share the joy of victory with my old friends. Your old friend Adolf Hitler."

"Fucking Hitler, you've learned to whet your appetite! Damn it!" After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli felt a little dumbfounded, and couldn't help but utter a few foul words. Then, feeling weak all over, he sat back On the chair, after a long period of tension and waiting, after relaxing, I felt exhausted.

Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng hurried forward and asked eagerly, "Teacher, are you okay?"

Tang Qiuli waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just a normal reaction. This shitty Hitler made me worry all night!" There is an indescribable ease in the teacher's laughter.

After laughing, Tang Qiuli's face became serious, his eyes flashed with jumping flames, and he said, "Yuhe, Director Chen, the Germans attacked the Soviet Union on time, and there will be major wars in Outer Mongolia and the Far East." Changes, the command division refers to all departments and personnel, from now on, immediately enter the combat state!"

"Order, Deputy Division Commander Liu's Dongzhi troops immediately march towards the Chita area. The purpose is to flank and delay the Soviet troops in the area who are eager to retreat, but not to engage in deep combat. At the same time, pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese Kwantung Army."

"Order, Yuan Jinghao's North China Field Corps will leave the current station, fill up the troops, and immediately go to the battlefield in western Liaoning. The regiment will be placed under the command of Feng Jiwu, commander of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps. , immediately return to the original establishment."

"Order, Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolian Field Corps, the No.11 Brigade and No.12 Brigade directly under the Corps, and Bateer's armored troops, leave the Saiyinshanda line of defense at [-] o'clock in the morning today, and advance towards Al Tanshire first. The target of the operation is the leading three group army units of the Soviet Army in the area, and the specific launch time of the attack is awaiting the order of the division headquarters."

"Order, all units of Liu Cuigang's Northern Flying Group will launch large-scale air raids and bombings on the retreating Soviet troops in Outer Mongolia and the Far East starting at [-]:[-] this morning. Liu Cuigang will determine the specific deployment of the campaign. My only request is to make it very difficult for the Soviets to retreat."

"Order that the [-]st to [-]th brigades of the directly subordinate corps lurking on the two wings of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front should immediately approach the Soviet army in a covert manner, side attack and restrain the Soviet army's retreat. It is required that the brigades should not attack the Soviet army in depth and avoid conflicts with the Soviet army. The retreating troops fought head-on."

Tang Qiuli gave an order, Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng recorded one, and then Zhao Yuhe gave Chen Feng a few words, and Chen Feng hurried out to issue orders to the various troops.

After Chen Feng left, Zhao Yuhe frowned slightly, and after a few minutes of thinking, he said, "Master, I don't have any opinions on the overall deployment of the campaign, but there is one thing I am more worried about!"

Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Oh! - Yuhe, if you have any worries, just say it!"

Zhao Yuhe sorted out his thoughts and said, "Master, Deputy Commander Liu's East Pointing Troops are heading towards Chita in the Far East. That is the only way for the Soviet Army to retreat. There are three The front army has a strength of more than [-] million troops, while Dongzhi's troops are no more than [-] at best. If Dongzhi occupies Chita, the Soviet army will definitely do its best to pull out Dongzhi's nail in order to retreat as soon as possible. !"

"The disparity in military strength is too great, and it is extremely dangerous for the Eastern Command troops. After the Germans attacked the Soviet Union's eastern border, Stalin would definitely order the Soviet troops in the Far East to leave the battlefield as soon as possible at all costs. Therefore, my opinion is, how many Soviet troops can be left behind after the Soviet army starts to retreat, and then enter the Chita area, and adopt the tail-chasing style of play? Do our best, and we don't have to pay a lot The price is to hold back the Soviet army for the Germans!"

"Hahaha——!" Tang Qiuli laughed loudly, pointing at Zhao Yuhe, with a sly look in his eyes, and said: "Yuhe, care is messy, you forgot, we are in the Far East, There are also helpers, Deputy Commander Liu's army is not fighting with his own family!"

"Helper...?" Zhao Yuhe was very puzzled. As far as he knew, in the Far East, all the troops of the Independent Division had already withdrawn to the country. The mission, and the direction is not in the Far East, where is the helper, Murphy, the division commander is in the Far East, and there is still a hidden army, but, as the chief of staff, why doesn't he know anything about it?

Seeing Zhao Yuhe frowning and thinking hard, Tang Qiuli lit a cigarette, exhaled the smoke comfortably, and said slowly, "Deputy Commander Liu's assistant is the Japanese Kwantung Army!"

One word awakened the dreamer, Zhao Yuhe patted his head suddenly, and said, "That's right! It's the Japanese Kwantung Army. More than 400 million Soviet troops surrounded the Kwantung Army. They fought for more than ten days. The Kwantung Army must have lost money." It can be said to be a serious injury. With the character of the Japanese, this time they suffered a big loss. How could they miss the opportunity to seize the Soviet army's eagerness to retreat? The army is stalking and stalking, expressing the bad breath in my heart."

"The war on the Eastern Front is raging and the military situation is urgent. Stalin must have sent telegrams urging him one after another. However, Zhukov, who has no interest in fighting, wants to leave. I am afraid it will not be so easy. The Japanese Kwantung Army is now beaten to the bone. Like a mad dog, seize the opportunity and don't bite it!" Zhao Yu laughed to himself, "This helper will work very hard!" he added.

Tang Qiuli nodded again and again and said: "Yes, that's the reason. Moreover, the East Pointing troops are approaching the Chita line, which poses a greater threat to the Soviet army. There is a possibility of cutting back. Stalin will be forced to sit at the negotiating table Otherwise, I will not let Zhukov go, at least, it will not be easy if I want to go!"
