Age of Conquest Reborn

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe's words made Sun Zhenbang very dissatisfied. He said with a blushing face: "Chief of Staff Zhao, I am not happy to hear this. Since when has my grandson flattered others? Are you telling the truth? Without you,

And Chief of Staff Yang, how could the corps be established so quickly? You two know better than me what the condition of the corps’ equipment is."

Then, he rolled his eyes and continued: "Besides, you and Chief of Staff Yang are from our Outer Mongolia Field Corps after all. You don't need to say nice things, but you can be honest and truthful, which is a big help to me. It's better than me crying for poverty."

Much more, what do you think, Chief of Staff Yang?" Sun Zhenbang's target was again Major General Yang Ketian, Chief of Staff of the East Point.

Yang Ketian just smiled and said nothing, Zhao Yuhe was not angry and looked at Tang Qiuli.

Tang Qiuli also smiled and said: "Zhenbang, the Outer Mongolia Corps was established on the basis of the original Outer Mongolia Border Guard Army. I believe I know a little bit about it." Then, the conversation changed, "Since you, Sun Zhenbang, are so eager,

If you need equipment, fine, I'll do it

The logistics department was ordered to equip the Outer Mongolia Field Corps according to the standards of the directly affiliated corps. However, Zhenbang, let me ask you a question. Once the equipment is provided, can the Outer Mongolia Field Corps be immediately put on the battlefield and assume the combat tasks of the main field corps?

?”

Sun Zhenbang wilted all of a sudden. This was the biggest weakness of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. Except for the four infantry brigades on the south bank of the Selenge River, which had been fighting with the Soviet Transcaucasus Military Region troops for more than a week, they had smelled the smoke of gunpowder.

Wei'er, apart from having seen blood, the other infantry brigades, strictly speaking, have never participated in a truly large-scale battle. Instead, the four cavalry brigades, which are the old foundation of the independent division, have comparable combat effectiveness.

of strength.

The artillery is also a shortcoming of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, which lacks large-caliber heavy artillery. As for the armored force, although it is equipped with two brigades, it does not have a single tank. There are two tank brigades from Battelle's Armored Forces Command in Outer Mongolia, but

They belong to others, and there is no order from the division commander to assign them to their own order of operations. Therefore, the so-called two tank brigades within the organization are still a series of numbers on the corps organization statistics table.

Such a unit was brought to the battlefield and shouldered the same combat missions as several veteran field corps. No matter how confident Sun Zhenbang was and how eager he was to fight, he had not yet forgotten everything, so he answered honestly: "Report to the division commander.

Not yet, but if you give me a few months, after the troops become familiar with the new equipment, they should be able to undertake the most difficult tasks!"

Tang Qiuli glanced at Sun Zhenbang, who was a little uncomfortable, and said: "Order. The Outer Mongolia Field Corps, starting tomorrow, will immediately withdraw to the Pingjin area in North China for intensive training. Within four months, there will be no combat missions, just troop training.

."

Sun Zhenbang was anxious. The Outer Mongolia Border Guard Force was finally upgraded to a field corps. He saw a big battle right in front of him, but at this juncture, the division commander ordered the troops to withdraw to the interior. Is it obvious that he looked down on people?

Besides, can the army grow up quickly without going through several big battles? The main force was not fought in big battles. Sun Zhenbang was not convinced. He blushed and was about to stand up to argue when Tang Qiuli glanced at him sternly.

Come here. Sun Zhenbang was wilting at that time.

The rest of the generals, including deputy division commander Liu Tiehan, did not understand the division commander's approach. Facing more than four million Soviet troops, the independent division's troops on the front line in Outer Mongolia were already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, so Sun Zhenbang's troops were transferred to

Going to the Pingjin area, Yang Ketian's three mechanized brigades returned to their original organizational structure. In Outer Mongolia, there was only one directly affiliated corps with more than 200,000 people left. How could they stop the Soviet attack?

Tang Qiuli ignored the puzzled looks of the generals and continued: "Brother Tiehan, the troops currently in the eastern part of Liaoning Province must be secretly transferred to the direction of Chita gradually and in batches. However, not now, we have to wait for the division to

The order from the headquarters can be used to make preliminary preparations for the mobilization. The defense of the original East Point in the western Liaoning front line will be handed over to Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps and the newly formed North China Field Corps of Yuan Jinghao."

Liu Tiehan squinted his eyes, considered it carefully, and replied readily: "Commander Cheng, the troops of the East Point are divided into two parts, one part is in Chita, and the other part is in western Liaoning. It is not convenient to command. I will add another one,

From now on, in the direction leading to Chita in western Liaoning, the engineering troops in the east will start building two to three simple roads. As long as the order from the division commander is issued, the troops in western Liaoning in the east can reach the Chita line as quickly as possible.

, Teacher, can this be done?"

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Jiang is still old and hot. Brother Tiehan, you have seen my intention!"

Liu Tiehan smiled and did not answer. He just stretched out three fingers and said: "Three knives!" and then remained silent.

The other generals seemed to be watching the two of them playing riddles. Only Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe had a flash of light in his eyes. He had been with the division commander for the longest time and could understand the division commander's strategic intentions. However, he was about to face four hundred

The attack of tens of thousands of Soviet troops is a big problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Tang Qiuli's eyes turned to Colonel Meng Qingpeng, commander of the Outer Mongolia Cruise Area of ​​the Aviation Northern Flying Group, and said: "Qingpeng, according to the intelligence from the Intelligence Department and the intelligence detected by the special operations detachment, it can be determined that the Soviet Air Force is

To the west of the Ural Mountains, more than a hundred field airports have been built, but they are heading towards your aviation force. Therefore, the main task of the Outer Mongolia patrol area is to remain stationary."

Meng Qingpeng's qualifications and position did not allow him to argue with the division commander without restraint or even cheat like Sun Zhenbang and others. However, he was quite surprised by the division commander's order, and he was deeply concerned about it.

He didn't understand, so he stood up and replied: "Yes! Division Commander, the Outer Mongolia patrol area will resolutely implement the division commander's orders. However, division commander, I would venture to ask, once the Soviet air force fleet invades, what should we do?"

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Oh! Even Meng Qingpeng has come to the ring with me. In a word, avoid fighting!"

"Avoiding the war?" Meng Qingpeng was stunned. Did the division commander want the troops in the Outer Mongolia patrol area to become deserters? Facing the Soviet fleet, they didn't even dare to face each other, so they turned around and ran away. This...

..., what do you mean?

Tang Qiuli waved his hand, then sat down for Meng Qingpeng, and then said: "Qingpeng, the Soviet combat aircraft that are gathering in the east will reach an astonishing number of more than 10,000, not to mention your six fighter regiments in the Outer Mongolia cruising area.

, three bomber regiments, even the total combat aircraft of the northern and southern flying groups of our independent division are less than two-thirds of the Soviet combat aircraft."

"It is good not to be afraid of strong enemies and to dare to fight, but it also depends on what kind of battlefield situation it is. Are we obviously outnumbered? Such bravery is reckless and reckless courage. What I am talking about

To avoid a battle is not to turn around and run without firing a shot, but to avoid the main force of the Soviet army

The sharpness of the fleet, the adoption of flexible tactics, and an important point, Captain Chutian will contact you tomorrow. In his hands, he has the entire situation of the Soviet field airport. The mission of your unit is

Mainly training for night bombings and raids, do you understand?"

Speaking of this, if Meng Qingpeng still didn't understand, he was really confused. The confusion and slight dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared at that time, and he replied loudly and energeticly: "Yes! Commander! Strengthen the night bombing."

and surprise training to ensure the mission is completed!”

Tang Qiuli looked around at the generals and said: "The adjustment of troop deployment has been completed. Now, let's discuss the two sets of combat plans against the Soviet army!"

As soon as Tang Qiuli's two combat plans were presented, the generals immediately understood that the division commander was making two-pronged preparations, based on not fighting but preparing for a big fight. However, everyone had deep doubts in their hearts.

It is normal to prepare for a big fight. More than four million Soviet troops have gradually gathered to the west of the Ural Mountains, causing the army to overwhelm the territory. A big war is inevitable, and it is a fierce and tough battle with a disparity in strength!

But on the basis of not fighting, everyone is confused. Stalin mobilized more than 4 million troops, more than 10,000 combat aircraft, and spent such a huge amount of money. He couldn't be just to demonstrate, right? To scare people, this is

This is not Stalin's style.

Therefore, it is very abnormal to base on not fighting. What is the basis? On what basis does the teacher make such a judgment? How could he judge that Stalin's menacing move was a false move?

However, seeing the division commander's confident and determined expression, everyone buried doubts in their hearts. This is a kind of trust. Based on the fact that he has followed the division commander for many years in the north and south, and he has never made a wrong decision.

A kind of trust that is almost blind.

And Tang Qiuli also had difficulties to express. He could not tell everyone in front of the generals that in more than a month, no later than the end of March, Hitler's Germany would take action against the Soviets. By then,

Even if Stalin doesn't want to withdraw his troops, he can't

, he has to protect his lair. It’s a bit shocking to say this. Who would believe it? It’s not like he is looking at himself like a monster. Just explaining will exhaust himself. Why not explain it?

All units need to comply with the instructions.

The meeting lasted from nine o'clock in the morning to about five o'clock in the afternoon. Focusing on Tang Qiuli's two sets of combat plans, the generals added a lot of suggestions, but they all agreed that there were only more than 200,000 directly affiliated corps in Outer Mongolia.

The troops are weak, so ten to fifteen brigades from the East Finger must be transferred to join the battlefield in Outer Mongolia.

In other words, all the troops on the front line in western Liaoning will be placed under the combat order of the directly affiliated corps, so that the number of troops fighting the first wave of the Soviet offensive will reach about 450,000. In this case, facing more than 4 million

The Soviet army was barely able to fight, and it was only barely able to fight. After all, the difference in strength reached a disparity of ten to one. This was due to the trust in the division commander's monster-like ability to command operations.

Tang Qiuli flatly rejected this suggestion and insisted on the original deployment of troops, and everyone no longer insisted.
