Age of Rebirth

The division commander Tang Qiuli's analysis of the war situation in the Far East apparently convinced the chief of staff Zhao Yu and the major general, and he suddenly asked a strange question, "Master, according to your judgment, will Stalin order the battle between Chita and Il? Will the Soviet army on the front line of Kutsk turn around and return to the Far East Front Army?"

Tang Qiuli smiled, and said frankly: "Yuhe, to be honest, if I could have made a judgment half a month ago, now, I can't judge how that headache Stalin will give up his cards, yes Now, the pursuit troops directly under the corps, after slowing down the pursuit of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front Army, what is the situation on the battlefield? Several brigades in the Ural Mountains and Tannu Mountains have been bluffing for a long time, why does it seem to have no effect?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Master, the situation is like this. Today I received a telegram from the pursuit troops of the corps directly under it. After our troops slowed down the pursuit speed, the withdrawal speed of the Soviet troops was significantly accelerated. The destruction was very thorough and became the main reason for hindering the speed of the Soviet army's march!"

"As for the suspicious troops in the Ural Mountains and Tannu Mountains, whether they were discovered by the Soviet army, I also sent a telegram to inquire. The replies from all the troops were almost the same. No Soviet troops west of the Ural Mountains were found. This phenomenon is really puzzling, isn’t it?”

Tang Qiuli shook his head, also very confused. The changes on the battlefield are really hard to fathom. They deliberately concealed the traces of the troops, but they were easily exposed. They were deliberately exposed without being noticed by the Soviet army. That Stalin , What are you thinking, tens of thousands of people are building a blockade line with great fanfare, it has been a long time, isn't it.Haven't alerted the Soviet army yet?

This time, Tang Qiuli made a wrong judgment, and it was still very wrong, but.This error does not affect the battle situation.

Moscow, Soviet Union, Kremlin, General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, "Chairman" of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union, Stalin's office of the Supreme Command of the Soviet Union, on his desk.There were several telegrams, Marshal Petroshilov, chief of the Soviet Army General Staff, member of the Political Bureau of the CPSU, Molotov, Soviet People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, General Kostadinov, Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Air Force, and the new General Staff of the Soviet Army General Konslov, Director of Military Intelligence.General Badchenko, commander of the Moscow Military District of the Soviet Union, and others sat silently on the sofa with ugly faces.

These few telegrams are not good news. The top one was sent by General Zhukov, the commander of the Far East Front Army, personally sent it a few days ago.This was also the most difficult telegram for Stalin and the senior Soviet military and political officials present.

Whether to rescue the Far East Front Army has become the most tormented matter for Stalin and the extremely smooth military and political leaders in the past few days, especially Marshal Petroshilov, the chief of staff. As the coordinator and executor, many decisive opinions must be brought up by myself first and submitted to the Politburo for discussion.For this reason, Marshal Petroshilov was not driven crazy. [

In just a few days, Comrade Marshal's eyes were sunken and his face was haggard, just as Tang Qiuli expected.The highest decision-making level of the Soviet Union is caught in a deadlock, a vicious circle of dilemmas!

I haven't figured this out yet. Yesterday, I received another piece of information from the Air Force, "The headquarters, our air force's reconnaissance plane discovered that a large number of independent divisions were being built in the Ural Mountains and Tannu Mountains. As for the position, judging from the aerial reconnaissance situation, the strength of the independent division troops in the two places is about [-] divisions!"

This piece of information slapped Jiao Lei hard on the heads of Stalin and the Soviet military and political leaders who were already battered. The Far East Army has not yet worked out a perfect solution. The troops of the Chinese Tang Qiuli, On the way back to the European battlefield, the Soviet troops in the east set up obstacles. Twenty divisions, that is, more than 30 troops and close to 40 troops. There is no safe solution yet, and the Outer Mongolian Front Army may encounter difficulties.

In the past, the military strength of the Chinese would not be placed in the eyes of the high-ranking officials of the Soviet Union. Millions of troops would just crush it, but at this fatal stall, that hateful Chinese It's unbelievable that the Japanese, who had an indissoluble feud with Tang Qiuli, cooperated surprisingly tacitly. Could it be that on the Asian continent, two deadly enemy countries secretly joined forces to deal with the Soviet Red Army? Thoughts, it is inevitable that the high-level Soviet leaders, including Stalin, feel chills down their spines!

The situation on the Eastern battlefield is as intricate as a "chaotic" chess game. The three forces of the Soviet Union, Japan, and China are mixed together, stirring up a lot of trouble, but overall, it is still not good for the Soviets. Otherwise, Stalin will also No more sleepless nights and worries. The war situation in the east alone does not make this Soviet strongman so anxious. The fierce offensive and rapid advance, and the Germans who smashed the Soviet army like a sweeping storm, are the imminent danger.

However, the solution to the approaching German attack was inseparable from the four eastern front armies. As a result, Stalin fell into an inextricable vicious circle. Whether it is the Japanese or Tang Qiuli, alone, they are not opponents of the Soviet army, but now they have become opponents of the Soviet Union, and they are opponents that can kill the Soviet Union.

Stalin couldn't understand why the feuding Japanese and Tang Qiuli coincided with each other and attacked the Soviet army in the east together. Moreover, the battlefield was clearly divided. In Outer Mongolia, Tang Qiuli In the Far Eastern battlefield, the Japanese are about to encircle Zhukov's Far Eastern Front, and in the middle line from Chita to Irkutsk, Tang Qiuli's independent division The troops also delayed the evacuation of the Outer Xing'an Mountains Front Army and the Baikal Front Army.

Stalin wanted to break his head, but he couldn't think of the joints. Today, he brought together these military and political leaders again to find the most feasible solution, especially the problem of the Far East Front Army, which is imminent and urgent!

As usual, Stalin first consulted Marshal Petroshilov, the chief of the general staff, "Comrade Petroshilov, do you have any better suggestions on the issue of the Far Eastern Front?" asked in his usual calmness.

Marshal Petroshilov, after a moment of silence, got up and replied: "Comrade Stalin, I still insist on my own opinion. The Far Eastern Front must be rescued. The troops who have been fighting for a long time and have accumulated rich combat experience are the biggest loss for our Soviet Union, and we will also lose a powerful force on the European battlefield against the German attack!"

Yes, Marshal Petroshilov was one of the few senior generals who insisted on rescuing the Far East Front Army, and he was quite condescending. Stalin's eyebrows were wrinkled, his eagle-like gaze was filled with boredom, "Here again Now, the old tune is heavy, insisting on rescuing Zhukov’s Far Eastern Front Army, and not having a strategic deployment to prevent the Germans from attacking, my main military assistant is still disappointing!”

Comrade Stalin, who was in a bad mood, of course spoke bluntly, "Comrade Chief of the General Staff, I agree with the suggestion of rescuing the Far Eastern Front Army, but, your General Staff, how to solve it, our three Eastern Front Army units are pinned down by the Japanese. In the Far East, Moscow is about to face a situation where the Germans are approaching the city?"

Yes, once Comrade Stalin opened his mouth, the problem went back to the old way, preventing the German troops from approaching Moscow, and rescuing the Far East Front Army, you can’t have both, “Comrade Stalin, our General Staff is working hard to study the two A battle plan that takes into account, but so far, there is no result!" Marshal Petroshilov replied awkwardly, he was a little afraid to look at Comrade Stalin's disappointed eyes.

The Outer Xing'an Mountains Front Army and the Lake Baikal Front Army were delayed by the troops of the Chinese Tang Qiuli on the line from Chita to Irkutsk in the Far East. It is impossible to stop more than 200 million Soviet troops from returning to the European battlefield, but once they turn back to rescue the Far Eastern Front Army, they will fight with the Japanese on the Far Eastern battlefield. If they want to get out as soon as possible, it will not be easy. The Germans will deploy them calmly time?

The office fell silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressed. Marshal Petroshilov sat down dejectedly, and Stalin sighed secretly. This is not to blame for the General Staff, and he himself did not come up with a perfect plan. Let's put aside the biggest trouble in the Far East battlefield. The battlefield in Outer Mongolia was also unsatisfactory. The retreat speed of Vasilevsky's troops was as slow as snails. Moreover, troops of the independent division were found on the line of the Tannu Mountains and the Ural Mountains. [

This is also a big problem. If it can't be solved, it will be very difficult for the Outer Mongolian Front Army to return to the European battlefield on time. The Chinese Tang Qiuli, who is known for his insidiousness and cunning, dares to make no secret of his military actions, and, With the deployment of nearly 40 troops, plus the independent division troops chasing after them, could it be that Tang Qiuli wanted to pinch Vasilievsky's troops back and forth and completely bury the Outer Mongolian Front Army on the Outer Mongolian steppe?

Stalin was taken aback by his own idea. Before that, the Japanese encircled Zhukov’s Far Eastern Front Army, and later Tang Qiuli’s independent division troops flanked Vasilevsky’s Outer Mongolian Front Army. Half of the elite troops were lost, and the Soviet Union could not afford such a loss anyway!

"Comrades, we will discuss the issue of the Far East Front Army later. Next, let's discuss the problems encountered by the Outer Mongolia Front Army. Will it mobilize troops to open up the passage to the European battlefield for Vasilevsky? Comrades can speak freely .” Stalin put aside the deadlock and raised a new problem.
