Age of Rebirth

Stalin didn't want to cause any trouble, at least until the crisis of the German army's offensive was resolved, he didn't want to have any kind of conflict with Tang Qiuli's troops. He paid a huge price in exchange for an independent division, not to contain and obstruct the eastern region The Soviet Army returned to the European battlefield.

If any new conflicts are caused by a small matter, and the Chinese finds an excuse to block the four front army troops eager to retreat westward on the line between the Ural Mountains and the Tannu Mountains, the most uncomfortable thing is himself. It seems that any form of negotiation agreement is a dead letter, which can be torn up at any time, and it is always the fist that maintains the effectiveness of the negotiation.

Obviously, in the current status quo of the Soviet Union, strong enemies are pressing the border, and there is a great danger of destroying the country. They simply do not have the ability and capital to shake their fists. Moreover, for the Soviet army, which is mostly composed of peasants, Stalin is well aware of those illiterate soldiers. Robbery and rape could happen at any time. On the way to the west, they had to pass through many important towns in the Far East and Outer Mongolia. If these soldiers raped and looted like locusts, Tang Qiuli would be angered. , how serious are the consequences?

Thinking about it, Stalin would have a cold wind on the back of his head. Therefore, he ordered the Chief of General Staff, Marshal Petroshilov, to issue orders to the troops in the name of the Supreme Command. The word of shooting on the spot!

What is even more severe is that in the order, it is also particularly emphasized that if the soldiers of that unit violate the prohibition of the Supreme Command, then the political cadres at all levels of the unit, from top to bottom, will follow the soldiers who violated discipline. Let's shoot together!

The order was issued to the various units of the Soviet Army who were busy retreating westward, but they were too busy and frightened the political cadres at all levels of the Soviet Army. They tried their best to talk to those soldiers who had bad deeds without touching the ground.Strictly guarding against death, you only need to take a rope to trap yourself and the soldiers. However, the effect is also obvious. The Soviet soldiers with corrupt military discipline have shown a high degree of discipline,

If you don't enter a village, if you encounter a town, you would rather waste time and go around, for a while.Millions of Soviet soldiers became an army of benevolence and righteousness. Wherever they went, they committed no crimes.In the Far East and Outer Mongolia, a rather strange scene occurred.Millions of Soviet soldiers.Like a flood, it flows across a vast area, and the towns and villages are like solid rocks in the flood, separating and bypassing the Soviet army's marching brigade, as if these places.Has a frightening magical power?

Kulun, the capital of Outer Mongolia, is the only way for the Soviet army to retreat westward. The newly formed Northern Frontier Army Command of the Independent Division is stationed here.Major General Liu Chun, the commander of the cavalry unit of the Independent Division and the commander of the northern border guards, frowned after receiving the report from the reconnaissance unit.

At this time, Kulun, even if it is equivalent to an empty city, has only three cavalry brigades stationed here. The Outer Mongolian Field Corps was ordered to go to the eastern part of Outer Mongolia to stand by more than ten days ago. The division headquarters was also led by the division commander. I left Kulun three days ago. In Kulun City, although there are three cavalry brigades with a strength of more than [-] people, in front of millions of Soviet troops, it is almost like a few drops of water in the sea, which is not enough to see! [

Liu Chun had a headache. He commanded the cavalry troops and flanked the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front Army in the area of ​​Minusinsk in western Outer Mongolia. The fight was smooth and enjoyable. With an order from the division commander, he became the commander of the northern border guards. The soldiers under him, at best, were no more than 6 to [-] people, and they went to the newly demarcated border line one after another to take on the task of guarding the border. Now, all the Soviet troops like a flood will retreat westward through the vicinity of Kulun.

In case, in case that Soviet army got a bad idea and attacked Kulun by the way, the only three cavalry brigades he had were not enough to watch. He couldn't bear an attack from the Soviet army, and Liu Chun couldn't help patting his head Son, quite difficult, hard to think of a good plan.

"Send a telegram to the division commander, asking Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolian Field Corps to return to defend Kulun?" Liu Chun thought to himself, but immediately dismissed the idea. The division commander's overall campaign deployment cannot be changed because of his request, but Kulun's The situation is also quite worrying. There are millions of Soviet troops, and there are all kinds of birds in the forest, but I can't guarantee that every Soviet army will abide by the negotiation agreement. Just in case, Liu Chun is worried. a little.

Major General Tong Batu, the commander of the Second Cavalry Brigade at the side, became impatient when he saw that Liu Chun was in trouble, as if he had eaten bitter melon, and said in a rough voice: "Commander, what are you afraid of with millions of people? , dare to attack Kulun? If the old man really dares to attack Kulun, can the division commander spare them? In my opinion, we should simply pull our three cavalry brigades out and put them all on the bright side around Kulun, keeping the Soviet army in check. In the state of alert, I think the old man dares to do something?"

Liu Chun's heart moved, "That's right. The division commander knew that the millions of Soviet troops would definitely pass by Kulun's surroundings, but he didn't arrange a heavy defense. That's right. The Soviet army didn't dare to move their minds on Kulun. What?"

As a result, the three cavalry brigades in Kulun City all drove out of the city, centered on Kulun, and guarded within a radius of [-] kilometers. The Soviet army marched, the tanks roared, the artillery trucks honked their horns, and the infantry hurried on their way, marching around Kulun in a mighty manner. The nearest point was less than ten kilometers away from the guarded cavalry.

However, for the cavalrymen of the independent division, riding tall horses and holding bright sabers, the Soviet soldiers turned a blind eye like blind men. , Liu Chun, who was on tenterhooks, was completely relieved.

"Liu Chun, the commander of the northern border guards, reported to the division that the Soviet army passed through Kulun. In order to strictly prevent the attack, I stationed three cavalry brigades in Kulun and kept vigilance against the Soviet army within a range of [-] kilometers around Kulun. , After a whole day of observation, the Soviet troops retreating west strictly abide by the negotiation agreement and have no attempt to attack Kulun!" This is Liu Chun's telegram to division commander Tang Qiuli.

At this time, Tang Qiuli led the division headquarters and had already arrived at Chita in the Far East. Just after settling down, Liu Chun's telegram arrived. After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli smiled and said to the deputy commander Liu Tiehan: "Brother Tiehan, We didn’t explain it clearly to Liu Chun, and let him have a false alarm, hahaha! It’s too late for Stalin to avoid trouble, how dare he cause trouble for his upper body, this time, the Soviet army has become a teacher of benevolence and righteousness! "

Liu Tiehan could hear the teasing in Tang Qiuli's words, and shook his head with a smile, and said, "Master, as the Soviet army withdraws from the Far East and Outer Mongolia, next step, can we deploy to the Far East?" Has the Japanese army planned an attack?"

Tang Qiuli nodded and said, "Brother Tiehan, it's not just the Japanese army in the Far East, my plan also includes recovering the Northeast!"

"What?" Liu Tiehan jumped up in surprise, "Teacher, you mean, in the Far East and the Northeast, we should fight at the same time, with a two-pronged approach, and the situation in the Far East and Northeast will be decided by the first battle. Great! Finally, this day is finally here! "Liu Tiehan's tone was passionate and high-pitched, and his voice was extremely loud. On the other side, the Chief of Staff of the Independent Division Zhao Yu and Major General who were handling the telegram, and Major General Yang Ketian, Chief of Staff of the East Pointing Force of the Independent Division, all turned their faces in surprise.

"Don't get excited, brother Tiehan!" Tang Qiuli hastily pulled Liu Tiehan back, "I just have a rough idea now, I'm thinking about whether the Japanese troops who have hurriedly retreated south will stop going to the northeast after the Soviet army withdraws from the Far East. The move to retreat within the territory, but turn around and fill the gap in this area? At present, there is still a lack of sufficient intelligence support!" He said thoughtfully.

Liu Tiehan's eyes suddenly flashed a bright light. He vaguely guessed that a huge plan was brewing in the teacher's heart. This plan was related to the Japanese Far East troops retreating south and northeast.

"Master, are you considering that my troops in the Far East will temporarily stand still, deliberately leave a blank area in the Far East, and lure the Japanese army to turn around, and then concentrate superior forces to annihilate the Japanese army in the Far East. , and placed outside the Northeast, it can reduce the pressure on the Northeast troops and reduce the war damage to the Northeast!" Liu Tiehan said with a look of guessing your mind. [

"Brother Tiehan who knows me!" Tang Qiuli sighed, "That's how I think about it. The main battlefield must not be placed in the Northeast. If the Northeast is broken, we will be sorry for our fathers and villagers. The 3000 million people in the Northeast will suffer. Elders, therefore, my preliminary idea is to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Kwantung Army, the Far East Dispatch Army, and the North Korean Garrison in the Far East, but I can't make up my mind right now!"

"Oh!" Liu Tiehan raised his eyebrows, looked at Tang Qiuli in surprise, and asked, "Master, what are your concerns? The Outer Mongolia Field Corps is in a favorable position and can send troops to the Far East at any time. The troops can also move eastward from the Chita line immediately, and the corps directly under it are gathering to the Chita line, and the initiative on the battlefield is in our hands!"

Tang Qiuli walked to the map and said: "The Japanese army in the Far East, when they failed to encircle and annihilate the Soviet Far East Army, faced the huge pressure of Soviet reinforcements, and retreated southward in a hurry. The targets were all in the northeast. What I can't decide is , whether to order Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Field Corps to go out to the eastern part of Outer Mongolia, go straight to the south side of the Breya Mountains and the Kukan Mountains, and the plains in the two mountains, and the southern exits are Birobidzhan and Khabarovsk, Block all the Japanese troops retreating south!"

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli sighed deeply: "If the campaign objectives of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps can be achieved, there is no need to worry about whether the Japanese troops in the Far East will turn around. However, this move is too risky!"
