Age of Conquest Reborn

The weather was unfavorable. In the early morning of March 28, a strong northwest wind blew in the Kulun area. Lead-gray clouds rolled in the sky. The howling wind picked up everything it could carry, and swept it across the open wilderness.

The unrestrained dancing and rolling on the ground turned the city of Cullen upside down, shrouding it in a haze, becoming increasingly mysterious and unpredictable.

The strong wind blew one's eyes open, and the hard snow particles hit the face, causing burning pain. Such weather was not conducive to the attack, but General Gregariff, who had made all preparations for the attack, could not wait any longer.

The attack plan has been prepared

He reported to the General Staff Headquarters, and in order to highlight the combat effectiveness of the Baikal Front, he also skipped the General Staff Headquarters and sent a campaign plan to the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Of course, General Gregariff’s original intention was to

Comrade Stalin saw it.

At five o'clock in the morning, countless red flares rose in the sky around Kulun. Along with the blinding wind, the Soviet Lake Baikal Front, with more than 600,000 troops, attacked from four directions.

Cullen launched a full-scale attack. The Soviet tanks stirred up the snow and mud on the ground, roaring to cover the infantry attack.

The Soviet troops with high morale entered the city of Kulun unimpeded. During the entire battle, not a single shot or bullet was fired, and not a single soldier of the Reader appeared in the sight of the Soviet soldiers.

There was not a single resident in sight, and Kulun appeared in front of the Soviet soldiers as an empty city!

However, a battle did occur after all. This was also the only battle in the Battle of Kulun. Both sides of the battle were troops from the Baikal Front, and the fight was very fierce.

In the darkness before dawn, with howling winds and extremely low visibility, the nervous Soviet soldiers were all tense, fearing that force-reading soldiers would suddenly emerge from the houses on both sides or in the corners and pour fatal blows.

Bullets, I don't know, the Soviet soldier suddenly saw a lot of figures suddenly appearing on the ground, and subconsciously raised his gun to shoot.

"Pa—!" The dull sound of gunfire broke the solid atmosphere. Then, both sides began to shoot. The light and heavy machine guns roared wildly, sending smoke and dust everywhere. These were two Soviet regiments attacking from different directions. Everyone thought that they were attacking from different directions.

The opponent is the force-reading division.

There was a crackling fight. Not only light and heavy machine guns were put into battle, but tanks and artillery also joined the battle. The area was filled with fireworks and smoke. When the situation became clearer, the two regiments of Soviet troops

, each suffering hundreds of casualties.

After receiving the report, General Gregariff turned livid with anger. Originally, he had used up all his strength to prepare for a big fight with the Chinese Tang Qiuli's guard troops in Cullen City. Perhaps, he would be able to achieve the goal of annihilation.

The performance of the tens of thousands of troops in the force division may not be known!

However, as the various units continued to advance into the city, the reports sent back were almost the same, "No resistance was found from the reading division soldiers. Our unit is making good progress and has advanced to the central area of ​​the city!"

An hour later, with more and more similar reports, General Gregariff finally understood that the Chinese had given up on Coulomb, and they had no intention of sticking to Coulomb. What was funny was that he was still cautious, for fear of being fooled.

Wan Dajun wasted four days on the outskirts of Kulun. The feeling of punching the empty space was very bad, and he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

Moreover, such a victory was not what he had hoped for. It came too easily and effortlessly. He had clearly captured Culun, but how could he feel like he had been tricked by the Chinese Tang Qiuli?

It happened that at this time, he received a report of a fight between two different troops. General Gregariff was almost going crazy. Not one of the soldiers in the force reading division was seen, but one of his own started fighting.

Nearly a thousand people were killed and injured, and if word spread, it would not make people laugh out loud, and it would become a laughing stock, especially if it spread to the ears of Vasilevsky, it might cause an uproar.

General Gregariff immediately ordered, "Shoot the commanders of those two troops immediately, and seal the news tightly. If that one dares to leak it, don't mess with the Baikal Front. I'll send him to see God!"

Sitting in Tang Qiuli's office at the headquarters of the Outer Mongolian Front Army of the former reading force, General Gregariff could not feel the slightest thrill of victory. The colorful victory telegram he had prepared was no longer needed.

No matter how shameless you are, you can't say anything

After a fierce battle, our unit annihilated several members of the reading force division and captured several people. Therefore, the telegram sent to the General Staff Headquarters only contained a few dry words, "We, the Baikal Front Army, on March 20

In the early morning of the eighth day, capture Cullen!" That's all.

A few years later, Coulomb changed hands again and fell into the hands of the Soviet army. Regardless of the actual fighting situation, for Stalin, this was a real victory, enough to make him so excited that he could not sleep. For this reason,

Stalin specially convened a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Stalin seemed very happy, "Comrades, what does it mean to occupy Kulum? It means that we have regained what belongs to us. This is an amazing victory. The Chinese have been completely defeated and lost Kulum. Declaring that the Chinese

Tang Qiuli's rule in Outer Mongolia has completely ended. This is good news worth celebrating!"

"Comrade Gregariv is a good man, and all the Red Army soldiers of the Baikal Front are good men. Therefore, I suggest that in the name of the Politburo, we inform the people of the entire Soviet Union of this great victory. Next, we should

What to do?”

"It's very simple. Occupy every inch of land in Outer Mongolia until all Chinese forces are driven out. Moreover, we can use the name of annihilating the invaders to go deep into Inner Mongolia to chase and annihilate Tang Qiuli's troops to eradicate them.

To prevent future troubles and completely eliminate all ambitions of the Chinese to get involved in Outer Mongolia, remember I said at the previous Politburo meeting that the footsteps of our great Soviet Red Army soldiers are not limited to Outer Mongolia!"

In front of all the members of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Stalin said this. These words were enough to shock the members of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and make them crazy. Comrade Stalin is crazy. He is going to attack the mainland of China.

Will provoke a total war against China!

However, Stalin's next words made these members of the Politburo, who were almost jumping up to oppose, sit down and continue to listen to the leader's speech, "Comrades, you may think that my ideas are very

It is unrealistic. Yes, at least for now, we do not have the conditions to attack the Inner Mongolia region. Comrades, please note that it is conditions, not strength!"

"Why? Because we have another enemy that needs to be dealt with, and that is the Japanese Kwantung Army that has occupied more than one million square kilometers of land in the Far East of the Soviet Union. I will not attack until the Kwantung Army is dealt with.

In Inner Mongolia, comrades, please rest assured!"

The hearts of the members of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union were like a roller coaster, going up and down, and they were dizzy. Stalin was obviously very satisfied with the effect he wanted to achieve, and he was even more satisfied with making these powerful members of the Politburo feel dizzy.

Follow your own thinking.

Stalin paced slowly on the red carpet and continued: "The occupation of Kulun does not mean the end of the Outer Mongolia War. The Chinese Tang Qiuli's troops must be hiding in a certain area and are not willing to let this happen.

To withdraw from Outer Mongolia, our deployment should be adjusted in certain aspects. Comrade Petroshilov, your General Staff must implement the resolution of today’s Politburo meeting!”

Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the Soviet General Staff, stood up and replied: "Comrade Stalin, the General Staff fully implements the orders of the Politburo meeting. Please assign specific tasks to facilitate our implementation!"

Petroshilov's words were very level, reaching the level of proficiency. He knew that the so-called Politburo resolution should be Comrade Stalin's decision, but in the name of the Politburo.

Stalin felt Petroshilov's sincerity, and his face became softer. He took a sip from his pipe, and the light blue smoke hid his face in the haze. "The specific deployment is like this, Vasilev

Comrade Ski's Outer Mongolia Front Army is responsible for all the tasks of fighting against the force division troops until all Chinese forces in Outer Mongolia are completely wiped out. This stage will probably take about a month."

"Comrade Gregariv's Lake Baikal Front will immediately advance from Kulun east and will, together with Comrade Kilganin's Transkhinggan Front and Comrade Zhukov's Far East Front, carry out combat missions against the Japanese Kwantung Army in a thorough and clean manner.

.Destroy the Japanese Kwantung Army and cut off the Japanese attempt to encroach on the Far East."

"Our four million troops entering the East will use 2.4 million troops to deal with the Japanese Kwantung Army. If we add Comrade Zhukov's Far Eastern Front troops, the Soviet Red Army fighting in the Far East will be

It will reach a huge force of more than four million people. Comrades, we have invested such a huge force, but the Japanese Kwantung Army alone is not worthy of our investment."

"So, after defeating or annihilating the Japanese Kwantung Army, what is the next task? It is very simple. Continue the attack and go straight to the home base of the Japanese - Manchuria! It is a rich and vast land that should become our Soviet Union

part of!”

"Ah——!" All the members of the Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union were confused in the wind. What happened to Comrade Stalin? He had just surrendered the Inner Mongolia area to the Chinese, and he was thinking of conquering Manchuria under his own occupation.

, these two ideas, both of which are crazy enough, mean that either we will go to war with the Chinese or the Japanese, or Comrade Stalin wants to go to war with the Chinese and the Japanese at the same time!
