Age of Conquest Reborn

The two battlefields that Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, mentioned are the Battle of Outer Mongolia currently being fought in the Transcaucasus Military District, and the other one is the battle between Zhukov's troops and the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Transkhinggan Mountains in the Far East.

.

If the two battlefields start fighting at the same time, Zhukov's Far Eastern Front Army will be fine. The Japanese Kwantung Army has no choice but to mobilize some troops to support General Kulykin's Outer Mongolia battlefield. The battle situation on the Outer Xing'an Mountains will maintain a relatively stable situation.

Stable and powerful against the Soviets.

The Far East Front Army and the Japanese have been facing off for two years on the front line of the Outer Xing'an Mountains. On the one hand, it depends on Zhukov's military command skills. More importantly, the Soviet army has always maintained superior strength. Once the troops are divided and join the battle in Outer Mongolia, they must be patient.

Japanese people who have been waiting for a long time will definitely rush to ask for a bite?br />

Therefore, from the perspective of Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the General Staff, the battle in Outer Mongolia has reached such a bad level that there is no hope of victory. From a strategic perspective, it may be best to stop the troops at this time.

A good choice is that the Outer Mongolia region is important, but judging from the current international situation, it is not worth the Soviet Union investing too much troops in this area, and there is no excess mobile heavy force group to invest.

The focus of the Soviet Union's national defense was in Europe. If Hitler's Germany had not swept across the European continent and was a constant threat, the Soviet Union would have deployed all its troops. Marshal Petroshilov would have even personally gone into battle to quell the power of Tang Qiuli in Outer Mongolia.

What a difficult thing! Every Soviet general has the same obsession with the desire for territory.

What's more, any senior Soviet officer who experienced the first battle of Outer Mongolia has not experienced the fierce and cunning tactics of the Chinese Tang Qiuli. As far as the original intention of the Soviet Chief of General Staff is concerned, he is unwilling to

In Outer Mongolia in the east, there was no conflict with Tang Qiuli. This sinister Chinese was offended and he sent his troops northward. Whether the Soviet Union could retain some of its territory in Asia was still in doubt.

The temporary withdrawal of troops is not a permanent abandonment of Outer Mongolia, but the timing is wrong and it is not suitable to use troops under the current international situation. However, it is Comrade Stalin and Chief of the General Staff Marshal Petroshilov who insist on launching the campaign to regain Outer Mongolia.

I can only keep my worries in my heart. This leader with a strong character does not easily accept the opinions of others.

Comrade Stalin's idea was to make a time lag and take advantage of Hitler's Germany to beat the British and Americans in the British Isles to regain the Outer Mongolia region as quickly as possible. The idea was good, but the opponent he chose was...

But he is an extremely difficult Chinese. The series of tragic defeats in the Transcaucasus Military Region undoubtedly illustrate this point. This is because Tang Qiuli's main force did not come for reinforcements.

Marshal Petroshilov hoped that his suggestions and reminders would be effective. After listening to his words, Stalin pondered for a moment, and when he raised his head, his eyes were firm and unquestionable.

Stalin said: "Comrade Petroshilov, I have considered all of your worries, but this does not become a reason for us to give up the territory of Outer Mongolia. The war has already begun. If we give up this opportunity because of temporary difficulties,

, The entire Soviet people will not forgive us, and I will not forgive myself. Carry out the order and tell Zhukov that his troops will try their best to bypass the eastern area of ​​Outer Mongolia and join the battlefield without alerting the Japanese. We

This war must be won!”

At this point, Stalin paused, his eyes became deep, and then said: "Comrade Petroshilov, maybe the situation is not as bad as we expected. The war between us and the Chinese Tang Qiuli is the Japanese

What people like to see, don’t forget, the Chinese and the Japanese are feuding people. The Japanese will never destroy any attack our great Soviet Red Army has on the Chinese. This is what Eastern people call sitting on a mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers.

, the development of the situation will prove my judgment!"

Marshal Petroshilov sighed secretly. Comrade Stalin's decision could no longer be changed. He firmly believed in the leader's political wisdom and strategic vision. However, all this was based on speculation. If the Japanese Kwantung Army took the opportunity to take action,

, whether it is the battlefield in Outer Mongolia or the battlefield in the Far East, the Soviet Union will be very difficult, but it has to carry out its orders.

General Kulykin was overjoyed when he received the call back from the General Staff. Not only was he not reprimanded, but he also agreed to his request for additional troops. However, the time specified by Comrade Stalin in the telegram made him feel like he had a sharp edge on his back.

Pressure, end the Outer Mongolia campaign before early October?

Today is September 23rd, and there are less than three weeks left. The troops of the Transcaucasus Military Region must eliminate the independent divisions blocking them, quickly move south, and capture Kulun. But now, even the natural barrier in the north of Kulun has been destroyed.

The Lenge River has not even been crossed. This is still the second-rate unit of the Independent Division. How to fight next makes General Kulykin very troubled. But one thing he knows is that before reinforcements from the air force or the army arrive, there is no way to fight.

.

After the order from the Soviet General Staff was issued to the headquarters of General Zhukov, commander of the Soviet Far East Front, Zhukov did not dare to neglect and hurriedly dispatched two fully-manned infantry corps from the front, as well as a large number of tanks and artillery.

, evacuated the position at night, used all available means of transportation, and rushed to Outer Mongolia as fast as a spark.

Zhukov is a famous general, and he has done a good job in keeping secrets. More than 80,000 people in the two armies left the front line without anyone noticing. Except for the chief of staff of the front army, the other senior generals did not know anything about it. Zhukov was even more worried.

It is clear that once the Japanese on the opposite side get a little smell, not only will the two armies be unable to leave, but the front line of Waixing'anling, which has been peaceful for more than two years, will immediately become a war-torn situation. For opportunities, the Japanese

It will never let go.

Although Zhukov was careful and concealed, the mobilization of more than 80,000 troops from the two armies was still not hidden from the eyes and smells of the Japanese agents. The confrontation with the Soviets lasted for more than two years. The General Intelligence Bureau of the Kwantung Army, in the Waixing'anling area,

A pervasive intelligence network was established. On the night of September 23, a top-secret telegram signed by General Nanjiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, flew to the desk of Emperor Hirohito of Japan through special channels.

"His Majesty the Emperor, after secret investigation, our agents of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Bureau obtained an extremely important piece of information. The two infantry corps of the Soviet Far East Army, as well as a large number of artillery and tanks, were confronting our Kwantung Army troops on the outer Xing'an Mountains line.

Tonight, we secretly withdrew from the position. Judging from the direction of its action, the Kwantung Army General Headquarters analyzed that it was most likely heading to the battlefield in Outer Mongolia to reinforce the Soviet troops fighting against the devil Tang Qiuli in China."

"In this regard, I believe that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Taking advantage of the Soviet army's mobilization, adjustment of deployment, weakening of troops, and the opportunity for troops to change defenses, our Kwantung Army troops took the opportunity to surprise and launch a full-line offensive overnight to break the deadlock of two years.

Will Soviet Russia

The territory in the East was included in the territory of the Empire of Japan. This campaign repays His Majesty the Emperor's love and ardent expectations for the Kwantung Army of the Empire of Japan and creates an unparalleled achievement. All officers and soldiers of the Kwantung Army are willing to serve the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor.

battlefield."

"The military situation on the frontline is urgent, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and opportunities are fleeting. I hope His Majesty the Emperor will approve it as soon as possible. Then after dawn, the situation in the Far East will inevitably change drastically!"

Opportunity, a tempting opportunity, like a big steamed bun, was placed in front of Emperor Hirohito, making him drool. For more than two years, more than one million elite Kwantung Army troops have been contained on the front line of the Xing'an Mountains.

, the stalemate persisted, and due to the lack of scale, the senior officials of the Japanese base camp racked their brains and devised countless plans in order to break this deadlock.

There were many troubles before Emperor Hirohito. In the Southwest Pacific battlefield, a decision had been delayed for a long time. The British, American, Indian and Australian troops on the Australian continent were like cockroaches that could not be killed. Their vitality was surprisingly tenacious. Although they were suppressed by Ito Yanzaburo's troops.

The war continued, but the war could not be completely resolved.

Even though they knew that the fleet of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli was protecting the lifeline of the British, American, Australian and Indian forces in the East Indian Ocean, they could do nothing. The Japanese navy also conducted several naval battles, but with little effect.

The troops went into full-scale war, but Japan did not have the confidence and ability to fight an evenly matched battle on two battlefields at the same time, which frustrated Emperor Hirohito to the point of burning up everything inside.

To General Ito Genzaburo, the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, he sent an unknown number of telegrams with severe seals and reprimands, but Hirohito himself also knew that Ito Genzaburo had tried his best, and the Southwest Pacific battlefield had been delayed for a long time, and the Far East Outer Xing'an

There has been a stalemate on the Ridge battlefield for a long time, and the two battlefields in Japan's north and south are maddeningly boring.

Now, the opportunity has come. If the Soviet Far East Front Army is solved, or defeated, not only will it be able to seize a large area of ​​Soviet Russia's territory, but the Kwantung Army will also be free to return to Manchuria and point the independent division east towards Liu Tiehan's

Troops, break out of the Liaoxi Corridor and restore the original battlefield situation. Otherwise, more than 300,000 independent division troops will be stationed on the Manchurian border and will always be a serious problem for the Japanese Empire.

Opportunity, but it is a bitter opportunity. From a strategic perspective, the more fiercely the Soviet Union and Tang Qiuli fight, the more in line with the interests of the Japanese Empire. No matter which side is defeated, they will consume each other.

, both sides fight to the death, and the only one who benefits is themselves.

In terms of the degree of hatred, Hirohito absolutely hoped that the China devil would be beaten to a pulp by the Soviets in Outer Mongolia and suffer heavy losses. This would not only relieve his hatred, but also weaken Tang Qiuli's military power to the maximum extent.

From the perspective of current interests, the Far East of the Soviet Union is definitely a piece of fat. If we don't take advantage of it, Emperor Hirohito will have trouble sleeping and eating. Therefore, whether to approve the telegram from Kwantung Army Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro?

It became a really difficult matter to decide, and Emperor Hirohito was so worried that his head ached.
