Age of Conquest Reborn

The Politburo meeting of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union had deviated somewhat from its original track. Stalin was not only thinking about the land of Outer Mongolia, but also the land of Inner Mongolia and Northeast China. He even felt sorry for himself.

The idea is full of temptations, and the excitement is hard to extricate, and the greed in the heart is so fanatical that it can't be suppressed. High-quality updates

All the people attending the meeting held their breath and looked at Comrade Stalin, whose face was sickly flushed and his eyes were blurred and twinkling. The expressions on each person's face were different.

Molotov, the Soviet People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs, was well aware of Comrade Stalin's nature. He was the only person present who had the qualifications and ability to bring the leader who had fallen into fantasy back to the real world.

Recovering the Outer Mongolia region was barely a success. After all, Outer Mongolia established an independent country with the support of the Soviet Union. But once it moved south into mainland China, the nature of the war completely changed. Molotov himself was not a pacifist.

A lover of Soviet territory, his desire to expand Soviet territory was no less than Stalin's. However, as a wily Politburo and diplomat, he knew what was important and what was important.

"Comrade Stalin, comrades from the Trans-Xing'anling Front are still waiting for your instructions!" Molotov's voice was low, gentle and appropriate, but it broke the solid atmosphere in the conference room.

Stalin woke up from his fantasy and concealed a smile. He had imagined the situation too well. If the Germans did not exist as a threat to the Soviet Union, it would not be a problem for the four million Soviet Red Army to continue to move south. If it cannot be done now, it is better to return.

Let’s bring up the topic of the meeting!

Stalin lit his pipe and continued: "Comrade Vasilevsky, I hope you will use the occupation of Kulun to drive the nasty Chinese forces out of Outer Mongolia and end the Third Outer Mongolia War!"

General Vasilevsky, who was as bloated as a bucket, replied confidently: "Comrade Stalin, the Outer Mongolia Front Army will use such a victory to declare the end of the Outer Mongolia War!"

Stalin nodded with satisfaction, turned his eyes to General Kilganin, the commander and political commissar of the Transkhingan Range Front, and said simply: "I don't have too many instructions regarding the actions of the Transkhingan Range Front. High-quality update Kirganin

Comrade Ganin, you should listen more to Comrade Zhukov's opinions on the combat operations of the Japanese Kwantung Army. After all, Comrade Zhukov has been fighting with the Japanese Kwantung Army for more than two years. He is more familiar with the Japanese than you!"

"I only emphasize one point. You and Comrade Zhukov jointly fight against the Japanese Kwantung Army. Comrade Zhukov takes the lead. The mission of the Outer Xing'anling Front Army and the Far East Front Army is to cleanly and completely eliminate the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Far East. If necessary,

, you can enter Manchukuo to fight! Of course, you can discuss the specific tactical issues with Comrade Zhukov. One thing is that the so-called Manchukuo is just a geographical term. It is not a boundary!"

Everyone understood as soon as they heard that the thorn in Comrade Stalin's side and flesh was the Chinese Tang Qiuli's independent division. As for the Japanese Kwantung Army, it was just a secondary target and was destroyed incidentally. Moreover, Zhukov and Kilganin

The troops can enter Manchukuo to fight. Is Comrade Stalin really going to get involved in Manchukuo?

Tang Qiuli, who was in Kulun, Outer Mongolia, felt somewhat reassured after receiving the secret telegram from Germany.

He believed that Hitler would not deceive him. It would be difficult to fight a head-on battle with more than four million Soviet troops in Outer Mongolia. Even if all the directly affiliated corps were wiped out, the Soviet troops would not be defeated. However, various measures were taken to

It is not too difficult to implement this tactic for more than a month.

At the end of February, Tang Qiuli held a military meeting at the Kulun headquarters attended by officers at or above the brigade level of the directly affiliated corps to make battle arrangements.

At this time, the newly formed Outer Mongolia Field Corps had all withdrawn to the Pingjin area in North China. In the Outer Mongolia region, there were only more than 260,000 troops directly under the corps. Although the number of troops was reduced, they were more capable and mobile. High

Quality updates

At the military meeting, Tang Qiuli determined the guiding ideology of mobile defense and no frontal interception, and directly subordinated the Corps to twelve mechanized infantry brigades, four heavy artillery brigades, eight rocket launcher regiments, two air defense brigades, and four tanks.

The brigade, as well as the two attached cavalry brigades, concentrated in the direction of Minusinsk, assuming a frontal confrontation posture with the Soviet army.

The military meeting lasted all day. After the meeting, Tang Qiuli deliberately left behind three people: Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, Director of the Intelligence Department Yu Deshui, and Director of the Investigation Department Shen Jun.

The large conference room seemed a bit empty. Tang Qiuli held a cigarette and stood motionless in front of the large military map of Outer Mongolia. Zhao Yuhe and the other three knew that the division commander must have an important task to explain, otherwise,

I won't leave myself alone.

After about ten minutes, Tang Qiuli slowly turned around. His face was no longer as relaxed as he had been at the military meeting just now. He looked at the three people and said, "Why are you three staying here?"

There is a very arduous and important task that needs you to complete!"

Zhao Yuhe, Yu Deshui and Shen Jun suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Sir, what is the mission? Please give the order!"

Tang Qiuli smiled, waved his hand, and asked the three people to sit down. As if he had made a very difficult decision, he said in a hoarse voice: "A battle with four million Soviet troops is inevitable. The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered."

The practical problem before us is that the primary offensive target of the Soviet army must be Coulomb. When the war begins, the Soviet army will inevitably seize Coulomb at any cost. Occupying Coulomb is, in a sense, equivalent to occupying Outer Mongolia. Therefore,

Cullen will be lost!”

Tang Qiuli's words made the three of them tremble. Zhao Yuhe said with some excitement: "Commander, from the eastern foot of the Ural Mountains to Kulun, there is a distance of nearly 800 kilometers. The road condition is very bad, especially unsuitable.

Mechanized troops advance

, during this period, there are still many dangerous terrains that can be exploited. We can adopt the tactics of successive blocking, exhausting and slowing down the Soviet army's offensive speed, and delaying the Soviet army for a month to a month and a half. This is not a problem. Why should we give up Coulomb?

Woolen cloth?"

Tang Qiuli waved his hand, stopped Zhao Yuhe's words, and said: "Let's not discuss this issue anymore. Instead of investing a large number of troops and fighting repeatedly with the Soviet army in various important cities and outside Kulun, and paying a heavy price,

We will still lose Coulomb in the end. Why don’t we make plans to give up now? Since Stalin wants it, then give it to him! Regardless of the gains and losses of one city or one place!"

Having said this, Tang Qiuli felt a sharp pain in his heart. The Outer Mongolia region was in his own hands. Although he did not invest too much money in large-scale construction, it was still different from before.

With more than a million Soviet troops pressing on the border, all the fruits of previous hard work will inevitably suffer devastating damage. The war will be fierce and dangerous. After the war is over, everything will have to start all over again.

If he could avoid a battle with four million Soviet troops, Tang Qiuli would definitely want it. After calming down his emotions, he continued: "Yuhe, the task of the three of you is to organize a large number of manpower to carry out the task within half a month.

, all residents, institutions, schools, factories and mining enterprises in all important towns, especially Kulun, should be moved to the interior, including the population in pastoral areas, and the population in pastoral areas should also be relocated as much as possible."

"Everything that can be taken away must be taken away. I want to clear the country for Stalin in Outer Mongolia. This is a huge project. We must make it clear to the residents who need to be relocated. It will not take more than three months for them to return."

When returning home, all losses and relocation costs will be borne by our Outer Mongolia Military and Political Commission. For those residents and herdsmen who are unwilling to relocate, coercive measures can be taken when necessary!"

"The relocation operation was notified in the name of the Military and Political Commission of Outer Mongolia, and the military and administrative agencies in various places implemented it. The local garrison troops of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Army were responsible for the security work of this operation."

Zhao Yuhe, Yu Deshui and Shen Jun were dumbfounded when they heard that the entire population of Outer Mongolia would be moved to the inland temporarily. The division commander wanted to make Outer Mongolia deserted!

After the meeting, Zhao Yuhe, Yu Deshui, and Shen Jun immediately got into the intense relocation work. In the howling cold wind and vast snow-covered Outer Mongolia, long queues of people and various vehicles appeared.

Following the snow-covered roads, people headed south one after another. People took away everything they could, including livestock, food, and pasture. With sufficient funds and careful preparation, the migration journey was not difficult.

By the end of March, all the urban residents in the entire Outer Mongolia region had been relocated, leaving empty houses and towns on the vast snowy grasslands of Outer Mongolia.

Cullen at night seemed lonely and desolate because there were no residents. The howling north wind passed through the empty streets and alleys, rolling up piles of snow. The whole city was as silent as a wilderness. Only a few places were still alive.

With the lights on, it was the troop garrison where the Directly Affiliated Corps stayed in Cullen.

There were five or six cars parked in front of the gate of the Outer Mongolia Border Guard Headquarters. Soldiers from the division's security brigade stood in the cold night wind with guns in hand. In a room deep in the yard, a sheep oil lamp swayed with dim light.

, in the air, in addition to the smell of the mutton oil lamp, there is also a strong sadness.

Tang Qiuli carefully put a coat on Mei Xue, and put a cotton military cap on his wife. Mei Xue's beautiful big eyes were reddish, she had obviously just cried, and she remained motionless, like a puppet, letting her husband do his work.

Tang Qiuli picked up his armed belt, pulled out a beautiful small pistol from the holster, removed the magazine, fired the gun once, and the firing pin made a crisp "click" sound, then loaded the magazine.

Nodding with satisfaction, she tied the armed belt around Mei Xue's slender waist, as if to break the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Well, it's well maintained. Soldiers, that's how it should be!"

Mei Xue suddenly threw herself into her husband's arms and shouted in a tearful voice, "Qiu Li, can I not leave?"
