Age of Rebirth

Encouraged by the eyes of the division commander, Zhao Yuhe expressed his feelings boldly and confidently, "The situation on the battlefield is obvious. The main force of the Soviet Army in Outer Mongolia is eager to leave the battlefield, and will not turn around because of a 37th Army that has been half disabled. After the rescue, the Soviet army left in Outer Mongolia, that is, the two army units, once they retreated from the Saiyinshanda battlefield, the defeated Soviet army was encircled and wiped out by us, leaving the No.30 Fifth Army around Kulun as a lone army. "

"It is impossible for the commander of the Soviet army not to be aware of the situation of the lone army. Therefore, the Soviet army in Cullen will inevitably go south to rescue with all its strength. Once the Soviet army does this, what should we do? All troops have combat missions. Where do we come from?" To mobilize enough troops to stop the rescued Soviet army. The combination of the two Soviet troops is a difficult problem for the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. If it is not done well, it will be surrounded by the Soviet army. Commander, please consider carefully !" Zhao Yuhe's face flushed because of his excitement.

Tang Qiuli smiled slackly, and said lightly: "Why are there no troops? The two brigades in my hand are not mobile troops? They are not strong enough to fight a big battle, but they need to block the Soviet troops going south around Kulun and fight for Sun Zhenbang. In two or three days, it can still be done, not to mention that I still have Liu Cuigang's air force, who can provide air fire support at any time, Yuhe, don't insist!"

As soon as he heard that the division commander commanded two brigades, no more than 4 troops, to stop the 10,000+ Soviet troops going south from Kulun, Zhao Yuhe was so anxious that his face turned pale. He also knew that the division commander made such a decision , After comprehensively measuring the situation on the battlefield, after careful consideration, it is definitely not an impulsive adventure, but it cannot be avoided.The practical problem of disparity in military strength.

"We must not allow the commander to put himself in danger. If necessary, send a telegram to Deputy Commander Liu and Deputy Commander Tang who is guarding the Indochina Peninsula, and invite two veterans to dispel the idea of ​​the teacher," Zhao Yuhe made up his mind, stubbornly Said: "Master, I will execute your order immediately, but there is one thing. You must obey my arrangement!"

"Oh!" Tang Qiuli was surprised, and said with a smile: "It's just moving the headquarters to Delun, directing from the front, Yuhe, you're going to fight me in such a big ring. I don't want you to finish talking. It's comfortable. Tell me about it. How did you arrange it?"

Tang Qiuli's tone was still gentle, but it carried some other meaning, Zhao Yuhe could hear it, but he had to stick to his own opinion.

Zhao Yuhe looked at Tang Qiuli without fear and said, "The division will move forward to Delun. I have no objection, but I will lead some staff from the staff office, with the No.11 Brigade and No.12 Brigade troops Go to Delun, set up a division to point to the front headquarters, and at the same time, take on the task of preventing the Kulun Soviet army from going south for rescue. Captain Huang's guard brigade and you will stay in Saiyinshanda to coordinate and command the overall situation. Commander, this is me s arrangement!"

In fact, this was the best way Zhao Yuhe could come up with in his haste, and it was a compromise plan. The division commander and most of the headquarters stayed in Saiyinshanda, and he commanded two brigades to fight against it. In this way, division commander There is no need to put yourself in danger, the elders of the independent division, but they have told their ears and face to face, telling themselves thousands of times to ensure the safety of the division commander.

Tang Qiuli smiled silently, but shook his head resolutely. Zhao Yuhe became even more anxious, and was about to speak when Tang Qiuli waved his hand to stop him, "Yuhe, stop talking. , Master pointed out to set off immediately!"

Seeing that Zhao Yuhe's face was very ugly, his neck was stiff, and he just didn't move, Tang Qiuli stared at him for a long time, "puchi" amused, and said as if to ease the atmosphere: "Yuhe, don't be so sullen, it's not what you imagined." The distance between Kulun's Soviet army and the retreating Soviet army was more than 800 kilometers. Within three to five days, they still couldn't get together. What's more, Sun Zhenbang's troops were chasing desperately. Let the Soviet army run back to Kulun easily?"

Zhao Yuhe sighed secretly, and said helplessly, "Master, as the chief of staff, I have no right to change your order, but I reserve my opinion!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and went out to arrange what the master pointed out.

But what Tang Qiuli didn't see was that in the corridor, Zhao Yuhe stopped an officer of the communications department, and whispered in his ear: "In my name, I will give it to Deputy Commander Liu who is on the front line of Chita immediately, Deputy division commander Tang in the Indochina peninsula sent a telegram, telling the two deputy division commanders that the division commander only took two brigades to block the strength of a Soviet army, and the two deputy division commanders must stop it!"

Looking at Zhao Yuhe's back, Tang Qiuli shook his head silently. He understood Zhao Yuhe's thoughts and was afraid that he would be in a dangerous situation, but he had to do this. At the limit, Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Field Corps was besieging and chasing the No. 30 Seventh Army of the Soviet Army, but they could not draw any troops. What's more, they were racing against the Soviet Army, and it was impossible for them to rush to the front of the Soviet Army.

Half of the troops of the ten brigades directly under the Corps will be on the Tannu Mountains and the Ural Mountains to prevent the Soviet army from retreating westward. The blocking line formed is as weak as a piece of paper. The greater intention is to put pressure on Stalin, which means empty city planning and bluffing.

The other half of the troops used all their strength to fight the retreating Soviet troops. If it weren't for the mentality of knowing Vasilevsky, eager to withdraw from the battlefield, and never wanting to be entangled, Tang Qiuli would not be able to fight. In a dangerous move, 27 troops were divided into two parts, with more than one million Soviet troops chasing after blocking the front.

Therefore, to prevent the No.30 Fifth Army of the Kulun Soviet Army from going south, to rescue the defeated Soviet army from the Saiyinshanda battlefield, and to buy time for Sun Zhenbang's troops, it can only be the only two brigades in our hands. After the No.30 Seventh Army of the Soviet Army, Sun Zhenbang was able to free up his hands to make plans for the next step. Tang Qiuli planned to take Kulun in one fell swoop, so that the troops in Outer Mongolia would become the second entanglement after the East Pointing troops. The defense line of the Soviet Army in the Far East.

Although this move seems dangerous, Tang Qiuli made the decision after careful consideration and comprehensive evaluation of the battlefield situation. The commander of the No. 30 Fifth Army of the Soviet Army will not devote all his troops to rescue No. 30 On the Seventh Army, Kulun still needs to defend. Liu Chun's four cavalry brigades headed for Minusinsk in a covert direction, but the Soviet commander did not know.

Therefore, the troops that Kulun can send to the Soviet army are at most one army plus the attached troops, a little more than 6 to 4 people. I have two elite mechanized infantry brigades in my hand, with a strength of nearly [-] people. With the cooperation of Liu Cuigang's air force, there is no problem in fighting an evenly matched blocking battle, but I know that Zhao Yuhe's worries are not unreasonable. .

But this is just in case. Tang Qiuli firmly believes in his own judgment, and also believes that Sun Zhenbang will catch up with the No. 30 Seventh Army before the Kulun Soviet Army is dispatched. If this is the case, everything will be fine, and there is no danger. , but also ordered Sun Zhenbang's troops to take Kulun directly.

Facing the battlefield of Outer Mongolia, where the enemy is outnumbered, although the situation is very favorable to him, it cannot change the fact. It is not that Tang Qiuli has never thought about transferring Yuan Jinghao's North China Field Corps or Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps. Joining the Outer Mongolia battlefield, but judging from the overall situation of the entire Eastern battlefield, these two corps did not dare to move.

In comparison, Liu Tiehan was facing more pressure than himself when he pointed to the troops in the east. That was the entire three front armies of the Soviet Army with millions of troops. Zhukov broke his guts and did not dare to bite the Soviet army in turn. Then, only Liu Tiehan's troops held back the withdrawal speed of the Soviet army in the Far East, which was also very dangerous.

Therefore, the Feng Jiwu Corps and the Yuan Jinghao Corps will go to the Far East battlefield at any time. Although they are not fighting the Soviet army head-on, if Stalin feels the huge pressure and is forced to sit at the negotiating table, there are not enough troops. It's impossible, "I don't know, did Yu Deshui and Shen Jun disclose the information that the Soviet army was eager to withdraw to the Japanese? If the Japanese don't participate in this three-way melee, they will lose a lot of fun!" Tang Qiu Li thought to himself.

Thinking about it, Tang Qiuli also knew that there was no rush for this matter, and he wanted the Japanese to know the information, and it was not easy to do it seamlessly so that the Japanese would not doubt it. Tang Qiuli smiled self-consciously, picked up the military Putting on the coat, he picked up the special submachine gun that he had followed for several years, and his heart was full of blood. He hoped that he could fight a battle on the front line of Delun and relive the memories of the golden and iron horses in the past.

I have not personally fought in battle for many years, and I almost forgot the smell of the flames of war. Tang Qiuli caressed the gun body with a very metallic texture. He pulled the bolt with a "crash", and a yellow bullet jumped into the barrel of the gun. , "Report to the teacher, I received a telegram from the director of the intelligence department!" Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, came in and interrupted his recollection.

"Oh! Yu Deshui sent a telegram, and the event can be accomplished, what did he say?" Tang Qiuli put down his submachine gun and said with a little expectation and excitement.

Chen Feng glanced at the submachine gun on the table, "I haven't seen the division commander play with a submachine gun, I'm afraid it's been a few years, it seems that the chief of staff is right, this time the division commander really needs to fight in person, and the battle is so tense To such an extent?" Chen Feng thought to himself, feeling a little lost.

"Director Chen, is there any bad news in the telegram?" Tang Qiuli looked at the distracted Chen Feng strangely, "No matter what kind of news it is, it won't frighten me, Director Chen, Just read it boldly!" There was some teasing in his tone.
