Age of Rebirth

Sun Zhenbang, the commander of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps of the Independent Division, is indeed a man of talent. With a few words of advice from Tang Qiuli, he was able to comprehend the situation. The troops were separated, and each of their hands captured the troops of the two armies of the No. 30 Fifth Army of the Soviet Army. , Laying the foundation for solving Culun, Tang Qiuli is very satisfied with this.

What satisfied Tang Qiuli the most was that Sun Zhenbang overcame his eagerness to win the battle and was not moved by the immediate benefits. lure?

In Tang Qiuli's plan, the Soviet army in the back was very difficult to catch. The Soviet army north of Delun was surrounded, and the alarm signal would be sent back as soon as possible. The Soviet Army No. 30 Lieutenant General Djerganin, the commander of the group army, is not a fool. He will immediately judge the next move of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. If so, the army that follows will soon retreat to Kulun, even Sun Zhenbang He vomited blood and couldn't catch up.

Therefore, Tang Qiuli was a little surprised and surprised to be able to catch the Soviet army behind him. He never knew at what speed the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps rushed ahead of the Soviet army and completed the encirclement. of?

If it is a mechanized unit like the one directly under the corps, it is possible, but the Outer Mongolia Field Corps is an infantry unit with very few vehicles, and of course not strong in quick maneuverability. Relying on two soles, it caught up with the Soviet army and surrounded it. Tang Qiu Li wanted to know the reason.

The chief of staff, Zhao Yuhe, gave him the answer. Seeing that the commander was very happy, Zhao Yuhe also relaxed, and said, "Master, the swift and violent actions of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps seem unbelievable. The Soviet troops south of Kulun , with a distance of more than [-] kilometers, they appeared around the Soviet army like miraculous soldiers all day and night, and the credit for this is indispensible to the armored troops of Commander Battelle!"

"Oh?" Tang Qiuli was very interested, "Yuhe, let's listen carefully!" He said with a smile.

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Commander Battelle, drawing on the long-distance and large-scale maneuvering experience of the German armored group, gathered all the motor vehicles of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, and then used tanks to carry infantry to form a mechanized assault force. The size of the troops was about two brigades, and they marched more than 200 kilometers a day and night. When the Soviet army was just beginning to retreat, it suddenly blocked its retreat, built a blocking position, and fought fiercely with the desperately retreating Soviet army for more than a day. The arrival of the follow-up troops of the Mongolian Field Corps has completed the deployment of the encirclement!"

After listening to Zhao Yuhe's words, Tang Qiuli became a little nervous, and asked, "Yuhe, are there too many casualties in the army? Two brigades are against the Soviet army, and there is a huge difference in strength!" [

With a relaxed face, Zhao Yuhe replied with a smile: "Master, you are overthinking. Commander Battelle's armored troops have played a great role in repelling Soviet attacks many times and launching counterattacks at the right time. The two brigades of the Field Corps suffered few casualties!"

Tang Qiuli felt relieved and asked, "Sun Zhenbang caught two big pieces of fat at the same time, won't his eyes be dazzled, what's his idea?"

Zhao Yuhe took out a telegram from his folder and said, "Commander Sun has reported the campaign plan to the division commander, and his deployment is like this. , or adopt the strategy of encircling and not fighting, concentrate our forces, first annihilate the Soviet army south of Kulun, and then press all the troops that have ended the battle, and annihilate the Soviet army north of Deren with the fastest speed !"

"After the two armies of the Soviet Army were eliminated, the troops rested for a day, and then the whole army went northward to besiege Kulun. I read the battle plan reported by the headquarters of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps and found it very feasible. As for Jianzhi, his thinking is very clear, and the rhythm of the battlefield is also very accurate. After you approve, I will reply to them immediately, and the battle can begin!"

Tang Qiuli did not answer Zhao Yuhe's words, but asked another question, "When Sun Zhenbang reported the battle plan, did he explain the reason for doing so?"

Zhao Yuhe shook his head and sighed, and said, "Master, I let you guess again. Commander Sun's reason is that the Soviet troops south of Kulun are closer to Kulun. Army troops, desperate to come to the rescue, in terms of strength, we do not have an advantage, if not done, it will be a rout battle, and the goal of the campaign to wipe out the Soviet army will not be achieved. If most of the Soviet army fled into Kulun, Increase the difficulty for the future Cullen battle!"

"Annihilate the Soviet army south of Kulun first, and there will be no such trouble. The troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps can free up their hands and calmly deal with the Soviet army north of Delun," said Zhao Yuhe. A few words, "When Commander Sun talked with me on the phone, he also said that after annihilating the Soviet army south of Kulun, he very much hoped that the Soviet army in Kulun City would come to rescue. The troops were all destroyed on the outskirts of Kulun, so there is no need for Kulun to fight!"

Hearing this, Tang Qiuli laughed and said, "This Sun Zhenbang is not greedy enough. Lieutenant General Djelganin, the commander of the No. 30 Fifth Army of the Soviet Army, is not a fool. Huh, use up the last army in your hand, Yuhe, approve Sun Zhenbang's battle plan, and you will issue another order, Ren Zhaoquan's brigade on the battlefield north of Delun, go north immediately, strengthen the troops on the battlefield south of Kulun, and ensure that Annihilate the Soviet army at the fastest speed!"

Just as Zhao Yuhe left, the division pointed to Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, and hurried in, "Report to the division commander, we have received information from the intelligence department about the movements of the Japanese troops in the Far East!"

Tang Qiuli was overjoyed, hey, I have been unable to figure out the Japanese's steps, and the troops commanded by Liu Tiehan dared not take any action. The Far East battlefield was almost suffocated. Now, Yu Deshui, came with information , just to answer his own doubts, "Director Chen, read it quickly!" he urged.

Chen Feng read in a calm tone: "Master, the Far East Intelligence Center of the Intelligence Department has learned that the Japanese Kwantung Army and Zhukov's Far East Front Army fought fiercely for two days. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. It seems that there is an intention to withdraw from the Far East battlefield, and its logistics and supply troops have already moved in the direction of Chita."

"In addition, according to the latest information, the Japanese base camp has made new deployments regarding the war situation in the Far East. The Japanese Far East Dispatch Army and the North Korean Resident Army, which originally rushed to assist the Kwantung Army, have a total strength of more than [-] troops and are divided into multiple routes. , headed in the direction of the Brea Mountains and the Kukan Mountains in a covert manner, with unknown intentions, and Prince Zairen, chief of the general staff of the Japanese base camp, was newly appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Far East Campaign.”

"Okay!—Okay!" Tang Qiuli clapped his hands suddenly, and shouted "Okay!" Zhao Yuhe, the chief of staff who had just given the order to Sun Zhenbang and returned to the headquarters, gave a big jump and hurriedly asked: "Teacher, is it something that makes you applaud?"

Tang Qiuli was obviously very excited. Of course, he took a deep puff of a cigarette, highlighting the light blue smoke, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I applaud the Japanese, Yuhe, the latest intelligence came from the Intelligence Department. The Japanese army finally has It’s a move, and it’s still a big move, Hirohito’s appetite is not small, the two reinforcements, plus the Kwantung Army, and the three Japanese troops with nearly 200 million troops are heading towards Zhukov’s Far East Front Army!”

"Look!" Tang Qiuli strode to the front of the military map, pointed to the direction of the Brea Mountains and the Kukan Mountains and said, "Zhukov's troops deliberately retreated after the Soviet Army's Waixing'anling Front Army and Lake Baikal Front Army retreated earlier. At the back of the palace, Zhukov's intention was obvious, it was to cover the other two Soviet front troops and retreat smoothly, he was afraid that the Kwantung Army would take the opportunity to turn around and bite." [

"If this is the case, it will be a big trouble for the Soviet army. If the Kwantung Army stalks and chases them all the way, at least it can slow down the retreat speed of the Soviet army. It will never be allowed. If the main force of the Soviet army in the east is delayed for one more day, Stalin will be in a hurry. I am afraid that now there are several telegrams a day, urging Zhukov and Vasilevsky’s troops to return to Europe as soon as possible.”

"Zhukov also has another purpose, which is to eliminate the Japanese Kwantung Army forever. Covering and attacking at the same time can be described as killing two birds with one stone. This move is not a risk, but it is necessary. Keeping the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Far East is always a big trouble. , with the Far Eastern Front Army with more than one million troops without much loss, against the Kwantung Army with more than [-] troops beaten to death by the three Soviet Army's joint forces, there is a good chance of winning, and it can be solved before Stalin gets angry. Kwantung Army."

"However, the tenacious fighting power of the Kwantung Army greatly exceeded Zhukov's expectations. The battle to resolve the superiority of the Kwantung Army turned into a stalemate. This was something Zhukov didn't want to see, and he didn't have time to entangle, so he started to retreat. I mean, Zhukov also believes that the Kwantung Army has been attacked one after another and has already pursued and entangled it. Therefore, the early actions of the logistics and supply troops of the Soviet Far East Front Army illustrate this point!"

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli shook his head, and continued: "Zhukov still underestimated the revenge psychology of the Japanese, and defeated more than 180 million troops of the Kwantung Army to only 80 million troops, and the loss exceeded two-thirds. With the virtues and consistent practices of the Japanese, can you swallow this breath?"

"Certainly not, and the current position of Zhukov's troops, objectively, gave the Japanese an opportunity to use the battered Kwantung Army to hold on to the Soviet army and encircle the other two routes of Japan. Gaining enough time, it is not difficult to explain why the Kwantung Army, already at a disadvantage and exhausted from long-term battles, has repeatedly launched counterattacks against the Soviet Far East Front Army, which is destined to win, regardless of the huge casualties!"

Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng listened quietly to the teacher's analysis, and the messy situation in the Far East battle gradually became clear. However, Zhao Yuhe still had a big question in his heart.
