Age of Rebirth

On the line between the Ural Mountains and the Tannu Mountains, the five brigades of the corps directly under the formation of doubts sent telegrams to the division commanders. In the sky, an unknown number of Soviet reconnaissance planes suddenly appeared, approached our position several times for reconnaissance, and flew in a formation of two planes, according to the order of the division commander, they were not shot down!"

"The Soviets finally discovered something strange, but the reaction was slow enough!" Tang Qiuli thought to himself, picked up the telegram again, looked at it a few times, and put it back on the table. The line between the mountains and the Tannu Mountains has been tossed with great fanfare for more than ten days, and it was not discovered by the Soviet army until now. It is a pity that I have painstakingly designed the bureau.

However, the attention of the Soviets was all attracted by the Far East battlefield, where they would have thought that they could make such a deadly attack on the Outer Mongolian Army, chasing them from behind and intercepting them from the front. It returned to the posture of the European battlefield.

"The Japanese army commanded by Zai Ren is about to launch an attack on the Soviet Far East Front Army. The other two Soviet Army Front Army troops were blocked by Liu Tiehan on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, the Ural Mountains and the Tangnu Mountains. , suddenly appeared to intercept and kill the troops, I don’t believe it, Stalin won’t be in a cold sweat! The fire is almost here, should Stalin’s special envoy show up?” Tang Qiuli thought viciously.

"The battle situation in the Far East is very delicate. What will Stalin do next? Whether to rescue or abandon the Far East Front Army, I still can't tell!" Tang Qiuli walked to the door and looked at the sky of Outer Mongolia. .

Just yesterday, the German General Staff sent a routine report on the battle situation. From the style of writing between the lines, Tang Qiuli could tell at a glance.This battle report was written by Hitler, "Honorable Vice Chairman Tang, I am honored to inform you that the army of the German Empire has basically smashed the resistance of the Soviet army and is advancing towards Moscow!"

If that's all, Tang Qiuli still can't see it, and the next words are completely Hitler's style. "I believe that it won't take long, before the end of October [-] at the latest, the flag of Germany will fly over the Kremlin. Stalin's rule will become history, as for the Soviet troops in the Far East. Whether to rush back to the European battlefield It's very important, and there is no need for General Tang's troops to stop it deliberately."

This is Hitler's style, arrogant and full of confidence, but two pieces of information are revealed in it, Hitler wants to do it before October this year.To end the war against the Soviet Union, Stalin placed high hopes on the Far East Forces, which cannot change the outcome, that is to say.A series of victories made Hitler's confidence burst. He believed that the Soviet Union was dying and the German victory was in sight.

"Damn it, Hitler has the intention of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!" Tang Qiuli couldn't help but scolded, whether he should consider letting Vasilevsky's troops go there, adding some trouble to Hitler, and saving that guy's bullshit If he and the Japanese hadn't entangled more than 600 million Soviet troops for him, even if the German army could reach the city of Moscow, it would be at the end of their strength. [

Of course, Tang Qiuli was not worried that Hitler would break his promise or do something unexpected. After all, in the chess game in Asia, his own strength was enough to change the direction of the war.

Also, according to Brother Qiusheng’s telegram, the Allied forces in the Southwest Pacific Ocean in the Australian battlefield have not been completely defeated by the Japanese army. General Genzaburo Ito, commander-in-chief of the Pacific Dispatch Force, although he has launched many large-scale attacks, he is unable to occupy Australia completely.

Regarding this point, Tang Qiuli himself admired the tenacity of the allied army. It was like an unbeatable cockroach, with extremely tenacious vitality. It seemed that his method of blood transfusion to the allied army was very effective.

No one in this era can see the final outcome of the Australian battlefield, but Tang Qiuli knows that despite the fact that the Japanese army now has an obvious upper hand, as the Pacific War drags on for a long time, Japan's war potential has been tapped. It's almost the same. It is already the limit of Japan's national power to fight a battle of the same scale with the Soviet Union and the British and American allies in the Far East and Pacific battlefields.

As time goes by, the situation on the battlefield will gradually turn to the Allied forces. With the fall of Britain, it is a good thing for US President Roosevelt. The Americans can finally pull out their legs from that big mud pit. Now, all the military and financial resources can be invested in the Asian battlefield. Without the burden of the British, the Americans can concentrate on it. Hitler’s offensive in the British Isles helped the Americans, but brought the Japanese Hidden dangers and troubles.

The war is so unpredictable and weird. According to the information of the intelligence department, the Japanese naval task force that has been blocking the contact between the mainland of the United States and the Australian mainland has been blocked. Recently, in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, there have been several battles with the US fleet. Although Yamamoto 56 relied on its The superb command art has defeated the U.S. fleet many times, but there is a tendency to gradually fail to block it.

The United States, with its strong national strength, lost a few warships without hurting its bones. Some of its capital was consumed by the Japanese navy. In the East India region, the weapons and equipment sold to the Allies at high prices could empty the British treasury, but they could not empty the United States. The national treasury, a fat and strong country, made a lot of money in World War I, and when the two sides in the war were exhausted, they took the opportunity to make a fortune. The family is well-off!

It was not in Tang Qiuli's interest for the Japanese army to be defeated by the Allies on the Pacific battlefield. The islands in the Southwest Pacific Ocean, including the vast Australian continent, had long been classified as his own sphere of influence and regarded as his possession. It was not a fight with the British and American troops, but it was taken from the Japanese army.

"Well, the time is almost here. After a few months, the blood of the Allied forces should be cut off. The war in Australia has come to an end!" Tang Qiuli was in Outer Mongolia, but because of a telegram from Hitler, his thinking changed from that of Su De to Germany. The war is transferred to the Pacific battlefield, and the span and leap of thinking are beyond human reach.

However, in this way, the old man should be very dissatisfied, thinking of the resentful Uncle Quan, "Hahaha !" Tang Qiuli couldn't help laughing happily.

"Teacher, why are you so happy?" Chief of Staff Zhao Yu and Major General came in from the outside, just in time to hear Tang Qiuli's laughter, and couldn't help asking.

Tang Qiuli turned around, saw that it was Zhao Yuhe, and said, "It's nothing, I thought of something, Yuhe, what's the matter?"

Zhao Yuhe also smiled, and said, "Master, I didn't come here for nothing. Deputy Commander Liu sent a telegram from the Far East Front. Starting from the early hours of this morning, the Soviet Outer Xing'an Mountains Front Army and Lake Baikal Front Army stopped breaking through us one after another. For the operation of the blockade, turn around and return to the battlefield in the Far East, Deputy Commander Liu called to ask for instructions, what action should our troops in the Far East take next?"

"Oh——!" Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows. This news, in his judgment, was obviously part of the uncertain part. "The Soviet troops of the two front armies have begun to turn around to rescue Zhukov!" He said Said.

"Yes, Commander, based on the marching direction of the Soviet Army, it is absolutely certain!" Zhao Yuhe replied, wondering at the Commander's reaction. In the previous conversations, the Commander did not judge the possibility of the Soviet Army's return to aid. Is it huge? Why is there a surprised expression on his face today? [

Stalin's actions like this really made Tang Qiuli sigh. Although his own judgment is basically the same, once it becomes a fact, it still makes him feel a lot of emotion. In the critical situation where the German army is overwhelming and is about to approach the city of Moscow, Stalin made such a decision. Could it be that he has a safe way to withstand the attack of the German army before the Soviet army in the Far East returns to the European battlefield? What else does Stalin have?

"Yuhe, is there anything unusual about the actions of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army?" Tang Qiuli asked.

Zhao Yuhe replied: "No, the speed of evacuation has not accelerated. According to the current marching speed, it will take at least three weeks to reach the vicinity of the Ural Mountains and Tannu Mountains. The delayed action of the brigade's troops will have an impact on the Soviet army! Commander, what are you worried about?"

Tang Qiuli shook his head. In fact, he wasn't worried about anything, but it was strange that Stalin had any trump cards that prompted him to make the decision to rescue the Far Eastern Front Army in the face of a fierce German offensive.

On the surface, Stalin's only hope was Vasilevsky's Outer Mongolian Front Army. When it comes to conspiracies and tricks, Stalin is a veteran. Could it be that he wants to make a secret?Thinking of this, Tang Qiuli became vigilant, "Yuhe, where is Chutian's special operations team now?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "The special operations detachment is divided into two parts, one part is under the leadership of the Chutian detachment leader and is operating west of the Ural Mountains and Tangnu Mountains, and the other part is under the leadership of Chief of Staff Qi Hanzhi and is active in the Far East battlefield! "

Tang Qiuli thought for a while, and said: "Order Chutian, go deep into the area farther west of the Ural Mountains and Tannu Mountains, and pay attention to scouting the movement of the Soviet army in that direction!"

Zhao Yuhe was startled, "Master, are you worried that the Soviet Army will organize another unit to attack the troops directly under it from behind and open the way for the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front Army?"

"We must guard against it! Stalin's decision to return to the Far East Front Army contains too many uncertainties for the Far East and Outer Mongolia battlefields!" Tang Qiuli said simply.

Zhao Yuhe still wanted to talk. Colonel Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, knocked on the door and came in with a strange expression on his face. !"
