Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli seldom praised the commanders of the opposing side. General Greg Garif, the commander of the Soviet Outer Xing'anling Front Army, was not easy to be praised as "not simple".

The Chief of Staff of the Independent Division, Zhao Yu and Major General, did not think much of the evaluation of the division commander Tang Qiuli, and said: "Master, this move is indeed beautiful, but it is not easy, right? It is not a plan to "disrupt" the enemy. Little one!"

Tang Qiuli gave Zhao Yuhe a meaningful look, and said with a smile, "Why Yuhe, I feel uncomfortable, you just saw one of them, Gregarif's smartness is not only that, he sent a telegram As long as the Soviet Far East Front Army is a combat unit with a radio station, it can be accepted. For the Soviet Army, which is on the verge of annihilation at any time, the role of boosting morale cannot be estimated. This is better than Zhukov himself announcing the news. Be convincing!"

"The telecommunications department of the Japanese army will definitely intercept the entire content of the telegram. The Soviet Union's two front armies, with more than two million troops, broke through the Japanese army's blockade. A distance of several hundred kilometers can reach the battlefield in the Far East in at most three days. You Said, in the face of the surging Soviet army, whose strength is more than twice that of our own, how will Zairen, the supreme commander of the Japanese Far East, respond?"

Zhao Yuhe thought for a while, and replied: "Master, if I were Zairen, I could only take two countermeasures. One is to draw more than half of the troops besieging the Soviet Far East Front Army and set up a second army on the way. Furthermore, before the arrival of the Soviet reinforcements, kill the Soviet Far East Front Army, and then turn around and face the Soviet reinforcements!"

Having said that, Zhao Yuhe shook his head again.Then he said: "It's not right. If more than half of the troops are deployed to block the reinforcements, it will weaken the troops besieging the Soviet Far East Front Army. Then, the second method is impossible!" He laughed, "Master, if I am Zai Ren , I must have a terrible headache right now!"

Tang Qiuli also laughed.Said: "Yes, after the failure of the Japanese army's blockade, the situation in the Far East was developing in a direction that was not conducive to the Japanese army. The war situation was reversed. Zairen could do something at this moment. Even if he withdraws from the siege now, he can't escape. Therefore, Gregariff's cleverness The point is to use a clear-coded telegram to kill birds with one stone! Before the reinforcements reach the Far East battlefield, this is the best reinforcement for Zhukov!"

Zhao Yuhe was thoughtful, and Tang Qiuli suddenly asked: "Yuhe, have the troops directly under the corps on the front line of the Ural Mountains and the Tangnu Mountains started to retreat? Also, the troops directly under the corps chasing the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front Army , are they gathering in the Kulun area?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "The division commander is directly under the brigades of the corps. They all assembled in the direction of Kulun according to the division's command. The troops on the front line of the Tannu Mountains and the Ural Mountains have to avoid the front of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front. Delay!"[

Tang Qiuli looked at the sky outside and said: "Order the first to fifth brigades of the directly subordinate corps to return to Kulun as quickly as possible. If necessary, they can pass through the front of the march of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army!"

Zhao Yuhe was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Master, it's very dangerous. This is not an appropriate move. We only have five brigades with less than 10 troops, and we are passing by more than a million Soviet troops. The army has evil intentions, didn't they make dumplings for our troops?"

Tang Qiuli laughed and said, "Yuhe, you are worrying too much. In the current war situation, the Soviets dare to make troubles unless that Vasilevsky is crazy. If he dares to play tricks, he will not be counted as our independent division." The revenge of the army, even Stalin's anger, he can't bear it, don't worry, Vasilevsky is not that impulsive and stupid, although he wants to kill me, but he dare not!"

"By the way, send a telegram to that Molotov, informing our troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains and the Tannu Mountains that we will take the shortest route and return to the Kulun area, so that the Soviet army will get out of the main passage, and Stalin will naturally restrain Vasiliev. Fowski's!" he added.

Zhao Yuhe murmured, "It's crazy, it's nothing but risky things!"

"Yuhe, what are you mumbling about?" Tang Qiuli couldn't hear clearly, so he asked.

"Master, I'm not muttering anything, I'm going to give the order!" Zhao Yuhe hurried away, Tang Qiuli smiled slightly, "Are you taking a risk? Why don't I think it's a risk!" he thought.

On the Far East battlefield, gunfire and gunpowder smoke enveloped the afternoon sky. On this day, the Japanese army attacked extremely frantically. Cannons rained down on the Soviet positions, especially the Japanese Kwantung Army troops in the southern defense direction, which attacked fiercely. The defense system of the Soviet army is being eroded all the time, and the scope of the defense circle is constantly shrinking.

Standing at the entrance of the shelter department of the Soviet Far East Front Army Command, you can see the scene of the fierce battle. From time to time, guns fly in, blowing up the shelter, which has withstood how many shots from the Japanese army. A few days ago, the battlefield was nearly a hundred kilometers away from the headquarters of the front army. Now, the battlefield is in front of us, and the headquarters commanding more than one million soldiers has become the front line of the battle.

Zhukov stood in front of the lookout hole in the bunker, looking at the battlefield full of artillery fire. His eyes were full of worry. The Far East Front Army had been besieged by the Japanese army from all directions. Adjusting the defensive deployment at any time, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it now. Even so, the battlefield space of the troops has been gradually compressed by the Japanese army. Up to now, there is no way to retreat. This is the last line of defense.

In the narrow battlefield space, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are crowded together, because there is not enough area to accommodate them, the wounded can only be arranged in the muddy open field, lacking medical treatment and medicine, moaning in pain, the dead soldiers The dead bodies can be seen everywhere, because the fighting is too intensive, there is no time to bury them, they can only be left in the wilderness, "medicine" and supplies are only enough to last for four or five days, the Far East Front Army is short of everything now!

"Reinforcements!—When will the reinforcements arrive? Old friend, if you don't arrive, I won't be able to hold on anymore. The Far Eastern Front has almost shed its last drop of blood. Fire up your guns and fight on the frontier!" Zhukov thought in a gloomy and heavy mood that the Far Eastern Front was supported by a single breath, and once this breath was exhausted, it would collapse!

"Boom!" A Japanese large-caliber gun exploded not far from the lookout hole, stirring up a column of soil, and the shock wave made Zhukov's heart beat violently a few times. "Comrade Commander, leave the lookout hole and hide!" Several guards rushed forward and shouted.

"Concealment?—On this battlefield, my life is no more noble than that of an ordinary private soldier. Maybe in the next moment, the shelter will be blown up by Japanese artillery!" Zhukov ignored the shouts of the guards, feeling surprisingly indifferent. .

"Comrade Commander! Comrade Commander!" Lieutenant General Godayav, Chief of Staff of the Front Army, rushed in, shouting in a distorted voice. [

Zhukov didn't even change his eyes. Apart from a certain position being breached and occupied by the Japanese army, there is no worse news. In the past few days, there have been few such reports. He has already become numb, "Comrade Chief of Staff, What's the matter?" He asked lightly.

Chief of Staff Godayav panted heavily, and said with dancing: "Comrade Commander, good news—great news! The troops of the Outer Xing'anling Front Army have broken through the Japanese blockade and are rushing towards the battlefield. Three days later, You will arrive at the Far East battlefield, and it was sent by the commander of the front army, General Greg Garif, in a clear telegram! Comrade commander, we are saved!"

"In addition, I also received a telegram from General Kilganin, the commander of the Baikal Front Army. His troops have also broken through the blocking of the Japanese army and are rushing to the Far East battlefield. Comrade Commander, the troops of our two front armies will soon We're here!"

Chief of Staff Godayav was excited, and his words were a little coherent. He shook the two telegrams in his hand so that they slammed, spraying all the saliva on Zhukov's face.

"What?—Is this true?" Zhukov's thinking went blank in an instant. The news came so suddenly that he was not mentally prepared, and his body staggered and almost collapsed on the ground.

"Comrade Commander!" Chief of Staff Godayav hurried over to help. Zhukov took the telegram with trembling hands, his lips trembling, and looked carefully. After a while, he closed his eyes, raised his head, and stood motionless on the ground. There, the careful Chief of Staff Godayav saw that Comrade Commander's eyes rolled down a few tears, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched uncontrollably.

Not only Zhukov, but all the officers in the front headquarters were so excited that they wanted to cry. They didn't dare to disturb the comrade commander, but exchanged joyful eyes with each other. The few people who were close to each other shook hands tightly, and survived the desperate situation , that kind of mood cannot be described in words!

Trying his best to suppress the turbulent emotions, Zhukov murmured to himself: "Old friend, you are wise enough. The method of telegraphing in plain code is worth hundreds of thousands of soldiers! The way of heaven and earth, the Far East Front Army Saved!" With Zhukov's military command ability, it is not difficult to see the beauty of General Gregarif's plan.

Suddenly, Zhukov opened his eyes, and the dead gray that had been covering his eyes was completely gone. Instead, there was a beating flame glowing with vitality, "Comrade Chief of Staff, I will send you the news that the reinforcements will arrive in three days. The whole army should make a report with great fanfare, and all political personnel must go deep into every trench on the front line to let every soldier know the news, and it must be done quickly!" He said hastily.

Chief of Staff Godayav hesitated for a moment, and said, "Comrade Commander, this is a telegram sent out in plain text. All our combat units with radio stations will receive the content of the telegram. Is there still a need for such a grand arrangement?"
