Age of Conquest Reborn

By the morning of March 8, Minusinsk was basically an empty city. Two brigades with less than 40,000 troops were unable to form a weak line of defense around the city. Tang Qiuli's purpose in doing this was to

In fact, it is very simple. In order to attract the main force of the Soviet army, Minusinsk is the primary offensive target, so as to determine the direction and method of the Soviet army's attack and provide reference for the next step.

The four million Soviet troops divided their forces and attacked several major cities at the same time, or they pushed forward in a straight line. All the Soviet troops gathered together and pressed from west to east. All of this,

Tang Qiuli knew it all, so only by exposing the location of the force-reading division troops could we see clearly the specific actions of the Soviet army. This empty city was a bait.

Then, according to the Soviet army's offensive method, corresponding tactics were adopted. However, Tang Qiuli did not intend to fight a regular war with the Soviet army. The twelve brigades directly under the corps had dispersed their operations, and each brigade had its own

The mission is mainly to flank the Soviet army and delay the Soviet army. When conditions permit, seize the Soviet army's isolated or relatively scattered troops, ambush or eat one of them. This type of play is also used.

List.

Of course, Tang Qiuli was not so arrogant as to launch a large-scale ambush in an exploitable area along the Ural Mountains to Minusinsk, although there were many exploitable terrain conditions.

This approach is not only dangerous but also stupid. Once the ambush troops fail to eliminate the Soviet troops in the ambush circle before the follow-up Soviet troops arrive, and are unable to break away from the battle, they will fall into a counter-siege by the Soviet troops. Again, that sentence

Well, there is a huge disparity in military strength.

It’s not that Tang Qiuli has never thought about it. Historically, during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, [***] the famous general Su Yu used the "black tiger to dig out the heart" tactic in Shandong to kill hundreds of thousands of people.

***] In the battle formation that went hand in hand, [***] Ace's main force, the 74th Division, was surrounded in Meng Lianggu, and then completely annihilated. He himself, every time he saw this classic battle, he would be amazed and praised.

Don’t stop talking!

The war situation in Outer Mongolia at this time is very similar to that of that time. The enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. It should be very possible to defeat one or two Soviet army groups by first encircling and then gathering together to annihilate them.

Millions of menacing

The Soviet army, with a head-on attack, could also dampen the morale and vigor of the Soviet army. In the next month or so, his life would be much easier. He was secretly tempted by this tempting idea, and even already

Start formulating a battle plan.

But after thinking calmly, I broke out in a cold sweat. The opponents and environments were different from one moment to the next. The mobility of the Soviet army was unmatched by [***]. Once a part of the Soviet army was surrounded by itself, the surrounding areas of the battlefield would be

It's like poking a hornet's nest, attracting all the Soviet troops. When the time comes, your own troops will fight and be unable to clear out the encircled Soviet troops. If you withdraw, you will be entangled by the Soviet troops again.

I'm afraid that in the end, he will be surrounded. The most important point is that the difference in military strength is so great that there are no reinforcements. If Tang Qiuli has three million troops in his hands, he doesn't mind General Su Yu.

The classic war example in Outer Mongolia

The ancient area has been repeated many times and used on the Soviets who do not know the military wisdom of the East. Now, they have to give up this tempting idea and follow the routine of the great Mao to fight against the four million Soviet troops in the vast land of Outer Mongolia.

A large-scale guerrilla war.

In the afternoon, snowflakes began to float in the sky. At first, they were still lightly shaking. After a while, snowflakes as big as a baby's palm began to fall from the gloomy sky. The strong wind swept up the dense snowflakes, which were scattered in the empty city.

In the streets and alleys, they roared wantonly, shrouding the entire city in a vast white haze, and the world between heaven and earth became a world of vast white snow.

Tang Qiu left the door and stretched out his hand. The cold snowflakes fell on his hand and did not bloom for a long time. He couldn't help shouting: "Good snow knows the season, and it happens when you understand me!"

There was a burst of laughter from behind, "Teacher, you are tampering with famous poems. I remember it was 'Good rain knows the season, and spring will happen!' Do you think you are flourishing in poetry?"

Tang Qiuli turned around and saw Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe and Director of the General Staff Department Ge Zhenzhuang. Three people, Chen Feng, Director of the Communications Department, covered with snowflakes, came in from the outside and happened to hear Tang Qiuli changing poems randomly. Zhao Yuhe

He said jokingly.

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Poems are written in response to the situation. They are written with emotion. There is a reason why I say it is good for snow to know the season. This heavy snow, if it lasts a day and a night, can withstand millions of powerful soldiers."

, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, the Ural Mountains are covered by heavy snow, and the roads are impassable.

With these two roads, I'm afraid I don't have a week or two. The Soviet military will take action. Even if we march in the snow, with four million troops, it won't take more than a month to cross the Ural Mountains. The snow will be good for me, probably.

God saw that our troops were weak, so he came to help!"

"By the way, Yuhe, Zhenzhuang, Chen Feng, you guys are here, what's going on?" He asked again.

Zhao Yuhe handed the telegram in his hand to Tang Qiuli and said, "Director Chen has just received a secret telegram from Captain Chutian of the Special Operations Detachment, reporting the latest developments of the Soviet army. We dare not delay, so we are in a hurry.

Sent over!"

Chu Tian led the special operations detachment deep into the Soviet Union west of the Ural Mountains to conduct in-depth reconnaissance of the Soviet army assembly areas and field airports. This was tantamount to Tang Qiuli's eyes on the Soviet hinterland. His intelligence was

Under the current situation, it was of considerable value. Tang Qiuli attached great importance to it and immediately took it over to take a look.

After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli couldn't help but frown slightly and said to Zhao Yuhe: "There is some trouble. The first batch of Soviet troops to participate in the offensive has 1.6 million troops, designated as the Outer Mongolia Front. That commander

General Vasilevsky is still very good

With his head in mind, he saw that the Ural Mountains were blocking the Soviet army's large-scale advance, and ordered the engineering troops to open five channels. In this way, the speed of the Soviet army crossing the Ural Mountains would be greatly accelerated. The impact of heavy snow

, not so obvious.”

Tang Qiuli was no stranger to Vasilevsky. In history, this man had obtained the rank of Marshal of the Soviet Union. His most outstanding battle was when he commanded millions of troops of the Soviet Far East Front to attack the Soviet Union's Northeastern territory.

The one-million-strong Kwantung Army launched the final blow. It could be said that the Kwantung Army was swept away like a sweep, and the Soviet army was like entering a human territory. The more than one million Kwantung Army collapsed. From this, Fahrenheit became well-known to the people of the country.

In addition, Vasilevskiy did not perform well on the Soviet-German battlefield in World War II. Compared with Marshal Zhukov, who contributed two victories to the Soviet Union in the Patriotic War and the War against Germany, this person can be described as

His performance was mediocre, but after receiving the information from Chutian, Tang Qiuli's slight contempt for Vasilevsky disappeared. Just looking at the actions of opening more passages in the Ural Mountains, this person did not rely on strong troops and impatience.

Those who are adventurous should not be underestimated!

Zhao Yuhe said: "Commander, the information from Captain Chu also mentioned an important situation. In recent days, a large number of combat aircraft have landed at the field airports that the Soviet army has completed. Statistics have reached

More than 3,000 aircraft, can this be considered as a precursor to the Soviet army’s imminent offensive?”

Tang Qiuli nodded and acquiesced in Zhao Yuhe's judgment. This was also his biggest headache. If there were not a large number of Soviet combat aircraft and only the Soviet ground troops, he had absolute confidence that he could defeat the enemy with the minimum cost of casualties.

After more than a month, the more than four million Soviet troops could not gain much advantage.

However, the Soviet army, which has mastered the air superiority, poses a great threat to its own troops. Among other things, there are thousands of combat aircraft overhead all day long, chasing their heels, and the casualties of the troops will be huge.

This is an astonishing number. After more than a month, I am afraid that the directly affiliated corps will suffer more than half of its casualties and will not be able to carry out the task of delaying the Soviet troops.

Zhao Yuhe made another suggestion, "Division commander, can we order the troops of the Chutian detachment to do something on the Soviet marching road in the Ural Mountains, for example, to carry out large-scale blasting, or

, simply blowing up the road can also achieve the purpose of delaying the Soviet movement!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "It's not feasible. Since the Soviet army has the ability to build roads and clear obstacles on the roads, it cannot block the Soviet army for a few days. What's more, the special operations detachment penetrates deep into the Soviet army's communication lines to cause damage.

The danger is too great. If there is no time to evacuate, the whole army will be annihilated. What I am most worried about are the Soviet combat aircraft!"

"Can Yuhe, Chutian and the others determine the specific time of the Soviet army's attack?" Tang Qiuli suddenly asked.

Zhao Yuhe shook his head and replied: "No, Captain Chutian mentioned this issue in the previous two telegrams and also caught a few tongues, but there was no information on this aspect. The actions of the special operations detachment

, and don’t dare to be too fierce, so as not to arouse the alert of the Soviet army, otherwise, you will not be able to hide!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head slightly disappointed, thought for a while, and said: "Director Chen, record and order that all units of the Chutian Special Operations Detachment will attack all target field airports of the Soviet Army on the night of March 9th.

, focusing on destroying the functions of the airport, and not forcing the destruction of Soviet combat aircraft. The specific combat plan will be determined by Chu Tian, ​​the leader of the special operations detachment, and does not need to be reported to the division headquarters!"

"In addition, Meng Qingpeng of the Northern Flying Group's Outer Mongolia patrol area was ordered to dispatch all bomber units to carry out large-scale bombing on all Soviet passages in the Ural Mountains on the night of September 9. The effect of the bombing was to prevent the Soviet movement.

More than three days.”

Director of the Communications Department Chen Feng, after recording the order and repeating it, was about to leave when he was stopped by Tang Qiuli, "Director Chen, wait!"
