Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 2006 The Soviet offensive begins

Tang Qiuli's analysis was good. Stalin had gathered a large number of troops in the east. The first target to be killed was Tang Qiuli's troops in Outer Mongolia. In the eyes and mind of the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, Tang Qiuli was more powerful than Japan.

People are more dangerous and hateful. Which of the two evils is more important? Containing the power of the Chinese and spreading in the eastern territory of the Soviet Union is more important than killing the Japanese Kwantung Army. High-quality updates are here

Stalin knew very well how much of the so-called eastern territory of the Soviet Union was taken by force from the Chinese. It must be more than 1.5 million square kilometers. In order to permanently bring this vast land under the rule of the Soviet Union, Stalin

In the occupied areas, many de-Sinicization operations were carried out. By 1941, of the more than 300,000 Chinese in the Far East, fewer than a few thousand remained.

Stalin wanted the Chinese to settle accounts with him. Therefore, Tang Qiuli's military operations in Outer Mongolia touched upon his deepest worries. All the Chinese's delusional demands for the Soviet Union's eastern territories must be stifled. That Tang Qiuli

The greed for the Soviet Eastern territories even exceeded that of the Japanese.

In a secret order to General Kilganin, commander and political commissar of the newly formed Outer Khingan Range Front, Stalin formulated the following strategy: “The Outer Khingan Range Front should advance slowly to attack Chita.

The independent division troops in other places formed a strong force of oppression, forcing them to gradually withdraw into the country. If they continued to resist, they would be pressed into the area occupied by the Japanese Kwantung Army."

Stalin's calculation was quite good. Once the troops of the Independent Division in eastern Outer Mongolia and the Chita area were forced to withdraw to the control area of ​​the Japanese Kwantung Army, with the consistent style of the Japanese and their inexorable hatred against the Chinese, they would definitely

Spare no effort to attack the independent division troops.

At that time, the Soviet army can sit on the mountain and watch the fight. When both sides are exhausted and almost exhausted, the Soviet army can take advantage of it and completely eliminate the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Independent Division, killing two birds with one stone.

!

Based on Stalin's understanding of the Japanese, the Japanese might even use their withdrawal from the Far East as a bargaining chip in exchange for temporarily joining forces with him to kill the independent division troops. Of course, Stalin wanted this. High-quality updates are here

In the face of interests, enemies may also become allies.

This was Stalin's version of the strategy of "driving out tigers and wolves". However, Tang Qiuli did not give Stalin this opportunity and ordered Liu Tiehan's East Point troops to withdraw into the country. They left the outer Xing'an Mountains to confront Zhukov's Far Eastern Front for two years.

The main force of Japan's Kwantung Army for a long time was directly exposed to the Soviet army. Regardless of the Soviets or the Japanese, it was in Tang Qiuli's interests to bite the other to pieces.

After a heavy snowstorm, for several consecutive days, it was sunny and cloudless. The thick snow melted quickly under the strong sunlight, and flowed happily on the flat ground and in the ravines. Finally,

, merged into rivers with turbulent waves, washing away the Soviet engineering troops. They spent several months building roads leading to the Ural Mountains before winter came.

The low-lying area turned into a swamp. The materials needed to repair the airport that was bombed into a mess by a small group of independent division troops could not be transported up. The huge amount of ammunition and logistical equipment needed by millions of troops could not be transported.

During the pre-war supplies, General Vasilevsky became angry again.

The ammunition and supplies stored by the logistics department of the Outer Mongolia Front are only enough for the troops to last for fifteen days. This is in normal times. If it is on the battlefield, it may not be easy to maintain it for a week.

General Vasilevsky can strictly order the engineering troops of the front army to repair the seven roads in the Ural Mountains within five days, but he has no authority to order the engineering troops in the rear to repair their own troops in case of flooding.

, delivered enough ammunition and supplies, which was not within the scope of his jurisdiction. Moreover, this was another natural disaster after the snow disaster. Even if Comrade Stalin shot the commander of the engineering unit, it would not help. High-quality update

However, General Vasilevsky could no longer wait. Under his strict orders, the engineering troops of the Outer Mongolia Front worked day and night, and finally completed the repairs of seven roads in the Ural Mountains on the deadline, reaching a level that could be reached.

Barely passing military trucks.

Five days later, the 550,000 troops of the five armies of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front that attacked Minusinsk crossed the muddy Ural Mountains and approached their target.

At the same time, General Vasilevsky personally commanded the main force of the front army, with more than one million troops, marching into the Tangnu Mountains. The Soviet Army's Third Outer Mongolia War officially began.

On the morning of March 15th, at the independent division headquarters in Minusinsk, Tang Qiuli gently placed a telegram on the table and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, you really knew what was going on.

Like a god, Vasilevskiy did not change his original plan, but divided his troops into two groups, the southern route going straight to Kulun, and the northern route heading towards Minusinsk. Have all the troops reached their designated positions?"

Zhao Yuhe smiled lightly and replied: "Report to the division commander, the troops assembled in Minusinsk will attack ten mechanized infantry brigades, four tank brigades, four artillery brigades, ten rocket launcher battalions, and two air defense brigades.

to reach the designated location

, the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th brigades, which were respectively setting up ambushes in Chagannur, Bayanleg, Hujiertu and Buridouwusu on the east side of the Tangnushan Mountains, attacked the enemy last night.

The division commander reports that we have entered the ambush position!"

"Judging from the speed of the march and the melting snow on both sides of the Ural Mountains, it will probably take three or four days for the Soviet troops coming towards us to approach the outskirts of Minusinsk. However, the Soviet troops who have climbed over the Tannu Mountains will

Because there are no such obstacles and the speed is faster, Vasilevskiy’s army of more than one million people will fight on the south road first. Vasilevsky’s army of more than one million has come from afar, so he must be given a greeting gift!"

"Send another telegram to the four brigade commanders to remind them that this is not a real ambush battle. It does not require the number of enemy annihilations. Just take one bite and leave. All you have to do is strike head-on and bring out Vasilevsky's anger."

"Fight quickly and retreat quickly. This is an eagle attack tactic. Especially Xiao Jinshan, the commander of the 9th Brigade, always likes to fight hard and is unwilling to let go. In the order given to him, I added a few words,

Xiao Jinshan, after receiving the retreat order from the division commander, you should execute it unconditionally, otherwise, you can come to my side as a staff officer!" Tang Qiuli said solemnly.

Zhao Yuhe was overjoyed and said: "Commander, this move of yours is like a tight spell, even the brigade commander is afraid!"

Tang Qiuli also smiled and said: "I'm worried that they will be red-eyed and unwilling to withdraw from the battlefield. Even if they delay for thirty minutes, they may be entangled by the Soviet troops swarming from behind. That's terrible.

You’re going to suffer a big loss!”

What Zhao Yuhe thought of was another question, "Commander, the four ambushed brigades have withdrawn to Ulanguben. That is one of the goals that the Soviet army must capture on the southern route. Don't you worry about the troops falling into the Soviet army again?"

Under siege?"

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "I'm not worried. The Battle of Ulan Guben is still an ambush battle. Vasilevskiy, who suffered a loss in the Tangnu Mountains, will definitely be furious and cannot give orders.

The vanguard troops are in hot pursuit, and Ulan Guben still has some advantages to take advantage of. From now on, there will be no such good things. The Soviet commander who has suffered two losses in a row will not be fooled again!"

Compared with the Ural Mountains, the Tangnushan Mountains are more steep and have several dangerous passes, which connect the western region of Outer Mongolia and the Minusinsk region of the Soviet Union. Chagan Nur is one of the transportation arteries, and a Soviet Union

During the military occupation of Outer Mongolia, a simple road was built, winding through the valley, with rolling peaks on both sides, but the altitude is not high. Clumps of shrubs, tall larch, and white birch trees are mixed together on the mountain.

Major General Xiao Jinshan, commander of the 9th Brigade of the Independent Division's Corps, put down the telescope in his hand, looked at the sun setting in the west, and said with emotion to Colonel Wu Jialiang, the brigade chief of staff beside him: "The division commander really chose our brigade.

Nice place, Chia

Liang, if you look at the terrain conditions here, they are most suitable for an ambush. A few heavy artillery can block the highway. Besides, I still have more than 17,000 troops. As long as I don't want to retreat, I can defend it for seven or eight days.

time, no problem at all.”

Wu Jialiang reminded: "Brigadier Commander, the order given by the division to our brigade has a time limit. The ambush will start in no more than an hour. Use the most intense firepower to inflict heavy damage to the Soviet leading troops and then evacuate immediately."

The battlefield is moved to Wulanguben and awaits the next order from the division commander!"

Xiao Jinshan said nonchalantly: "Orders are dead, but people are alive. It would be a pity not to take advantage of this favorable terrain. Don't look at the enemy situation report pointed out by the division, which said that the Soviet army has more than one million soldiers."

Man, how many troops can the vanguard have? It’s just enough to support an army of 30,000 to 40,000 people. If we have more troops, we can’t move around on this terrain!”

"After the battle started, I launched a forty-minute rapid fire attack and was able to kill more than a third of the Soviet troops. The rest were almost one to one with our troops. The whole brigade pressed forward and took advantage of the old Maozi being beaten.

dizzy

With Xiang's hard work, maybe we can fight a beautiful battle of annihilation and create a record of annihilating an entire Soviet army with one brigade. By then, our ninth brigade will be famous in the entire army! Ah, ha!

Ha ha!"

Xiao Jinshan laughed proudly, his eyes shining, and all he could think about was that the Soviet soldiers were blasted by swarms of artillery shells, making them cry for their fathers and mothers. Corpses were scattered all over the field, and they were in a miserable state. More than 10,000 soldiers of the 9th Brigade,

A scene of mountains rushing up like a tsunami to capture prisoners and seize supplies.

Wu Jialiang instinctively felt that the brigade commander's idea was inappropriate, but he also knew that the brigade commander had the habit of not wanting to retreat when fighting started. He secretly wondered how to prevent the brigade commander from making mistakes.
