Age of Conquest Reborn

The chief of staff of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front, Lieutenant General Poshenevbo, whose monotonous voice echoed in the tent, announced the battle plan, and asked expressionlessly: "Which comrade has any idea about the headquarters' battle plan?"

If you have different opinions, speak them out in person!"

All the senior Soviet generals who participated in the meeting were silent, with uncertain faces, and a very embarrassed posture. This in itself was an attitude. When they saw General Vasilevsky, they felt angry in their hearts, and the war was imminent.

We are facing an extremely fierce and cunning enemy, and the commanders' momentum is so unbearable. How can we fight this battle?

However, General Vasilevsky, who was experienced in leading troops, knew the inner thoughts of the generals. He stood up and said: "Comrades, we should not only look at the immediate difficulties, we should take a longer view. First of all

, our military strength far exceeds Tang Qiuli's troops, this is our biggest advantage!"

"I understand the inner concerns of comrades. Without artillery and the cooperation of tanks, how can we attack Saiyinsanda, which has a complete defense system and is easy to defend and difficult to attack?" At this point, his voice suddenly rose, "I might as well tell comrades

Guys, the issues you are worried about have long been considered by the headquarters. Before convening this meeting, I have ordered the First Army and the Second Army of the Artillery Force of the Front to march to Seinshanda overnight!"

"In addition, there are also front tank troops that are also moving in. Before tomorrow evening, they must reach the offensive position to provide you with the necessary artillery support. I will not let my soldiers use their flesh and blood to attack the fortified

All worries about the fortifications should be put to rest, right?"

This is Vasilevsky's preparation of firepower to the best of his ability for the first wave of attacking troops. This involves taking great risks. The bombers of the force reader are everywhere and will swoop down from the sky at any time.

Fighters and fighter jets are the biggest threats and killers to artillery and tank troops on their way. In order to avoid danger, they can only move at night and hide in forests or mountains during the day.

However, in order to ensure the success of the attack, there is no need to worry about so much. If you have control of the air, there is no need to hide like this. However, the control of the air is in the hands of the Chinese. "No matter what difficulties and situations you two troops encounter,

, must provide maximum fire support and offensive cover for the first wave of attacking infantry."

"For each offensive front, we must ensure that there are more than 150 large-caliber artillery pieces and more than 100 tanks. You can think of the specific methods yourself. I only want results!" General Vasilevsky looked at it with bright eyes.

The front artillery commander and the armor commander said with a cold tone in their tone.

This is somewhat difficult to do. Everyone knows that since going south, facing the air raids and bombings of the readers' planes, the artillery troops and tank troops are like mice. They dare not show their faces during the day. All marches are at night, in the light of day.

We took a break just after it was lighted up and it was completely dark before taking action. The days we passed were black and white. Now, if Comrade Commander issues such an order, wouldn't he be exposed to the force-reader's plane?

The commanders of the two arms are willing to explain and argue. Isn't this nonsense? It is very likely that the artillery and tanks will become piles of scrap metal before Seinshanda is reached. But Comrade Commander

With murderous eyes and livid faces, the two of them swallowed back the words they spoke. Misfortune comes from their mouths!

As for the other infantry unit commanders, they have nothing to say. The commander has already said what he said. Anyone who emphasizes the difficulties and makes excuses is doing it because they are uncomfortable. To be fair, the choice of attack time is absolutely inappropriate.

However, the sky is getting darker and darker as the battle continues, which is not good for the attacking side. However, Comrade Commander has made up his mind, and the military meeting ended with unanimous approval. The Soviet commanders at all levels are busy with mixed emotions for the attack tomorrow evening.

Get ready.

After the meeting, General Vasilevsky returned to his tent. For some reason, it was already late at night. The complicated events in the past few days had made him anxious and restless. He had hardly slept well. Now the overall situation

Basically set

After coming down, it was time to relax, but after returning to the tent, he was a little excited and couldn't fall asleep. But it was not because of the seemingly sure attack tomorrow, but because there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

What a shame!

I can’t explain why, but I have a real feeling, but it’s so vague that I have no clue. It’s because of the scheming Chinese Tang Qiuli’s unconventional behavior. Under normal circumstances, the Outer Mongolia Front Army

With an army of more than one million soldiers moving south, even if the main force of the Reading Division does not directly block the attack, there should still be some harassment and delayed actions by small groups of troops. However, seven or eight days have passed since the departure from Cullen.

The ground troops of the Reading Force did not appear, but a large number of combat aircraft came. Then there is a question, whether Tang Qiuli's troops are really in Saiyin Shanda, or whether he has a bigger conspiracy, it may be possible.

, does not make any form of blockade, but it is not Tang Qiuli's style. Does the Chinese really want to fight a head-to-head offensive and defensive battle with him in Saiyin Shanda?

What made Vasilevsky see that the general was uneasy was not just these. He felt that the Chinese acted too calmly. Could it be that he was waiting for some opportunity?

General Vasilevsky, who was tossing and turning and unable to sleep, felt empty and unsure of himself. He vaguely felt that some earth-shattering event might be about to happen?

On the night of April 9th, in the frontline headquarters of Seyinshanda, Tang Qiuli quietly leaned back on his chair. The "tick-tock" sound in the telecommunications room next door came clearly, making the night even more peaceful.

, the northwest wind outside the window stirred up dust and gravel, hitting the window with a "rustling" sound. He closed his eyes slightly and his face was as calm as water. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe had given instructions that no one would come in to disturb him.

But Tang Qiuli's heart was by no means as calm as on the surface. It was already past ten o'clock on the night of April 9th, and it was less than eight hours before Hitler took action against the Soviet Union. Logically speaking, the German General Staff

, there should have been a secret telegram sent to inform him that the German army had begun to take action, but no, he had been waiting in the headquarters since dark, while Chen Feng, the director of the Communications Department, personally guarded the unsecret radio station.

The unusual behavior of the Germans made Tang Qiuli think a lot. It was absolutely impossible for Hitler to let himself go, but it was possible to change the date of the attack, for example, delay it for three to five days because of insufficient preparation.

Yes, if this is the case, your battle plan will have to be adjusted accordingly.

The waiting was so unbearable. Tang Qiuli disliked the occurrence and development of events and the feeling that they were not under his control. However, as the war situation developed to this day, he was no longer able to control it. All the treasures were on the Germans.

, if the Germans postpone their attack on the Soviet Union, the Battle of Seinshanda will be inevitable. Even if they don’t want to fight, more than 500,000 Soviet troops are already approaching their doorstep. If they don’t want to fight, they will have to fight!

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe gently opened the door and came in. Tang Qiuli suddenly opened his eyes. Zhao Yuhe shook his head and said nothing, but his expression told him that there was still no news from the Germans. Zhao Yuhe also looked uneasy.

He wanted to speak but stopped.

Tang Qiuli suddenly smiled and said, "Yu He, are you a little out of control?"

Zhao Yuhe's face turned red and he admitted honestly, "Yes, Commander, I am a little uneasy. In the afternoon, you told me that the German army will attack the Soviet Union at dawn tomorrow. I believe what you say, but

, the Soviets would not be aware of such a big move by the German army, but you see, the Outer Mongolian Front Army is still preparing to attack Saiyinsanda. In the Far East, the Soviet army surrounded the Kwantung Army and fought hard. There is no sign that there will be any conflict between the Soviet Union and Germany.

War breaks out!”

Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Wars often break out without any warning. For example, the September 18th Incident launched by the Kwantung Army, and the July 7th Incident launched by the Japanese Army in North China.

If it comes suddenly, the war will come.

We have to wait. Even if the German army does not launch an attack on the Soviet Union on time, our troops on the left and right flanks of the three Soviet first echelon armies will not make us panic. What else do you want to do?

Are you relieved?"

Zhao Yuhe thought for a moment and felt that the commander's words were a bit mysterious, but he had no way to refute, "Yuhe, after dawn tomorrow, the battle situation will fundamentally change. Liu Hongzhang also stayed in the baggage area for a long time.

I don’t know how he feels about cultivating his mind and his surname. I’m going to let him go back to the First Brigade. I’m afraid Liu Chenglin will be reluctant to do so, walking on thin ice as acting brigade commander. It’s going to be difficult for him. What’s your opinion?”

Zhao Yuhe also smiled and said: "According to your instructions, after the troops withdrew to Saiyinsanda, I talked with Brigadier Liu several times. To be honest with you, he always believed that his decision to fight back was

That's right, but Brigadier Liu talked about his mistakes from another perspective. He had no complaints about you demoting him to the position of deputy battalion commander in the baggage force, and he did his job with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

It’s so hard to understand!”

"As for the battalion he is in, he has almost trained him to become a field force. He also told me that he plans to work in the supply force for the rest of his life. He said that it is more enjoyable than being in the field force. However, I think that restoring Brigadier Liu's

The position is a very correct decision. I have been to the First Brigade several times, and without Brigadier Liu, the entire army seems to be lacking a lot of energy!"

Tang Qiuli laughed silently and said: "Yuhe, haven't you heard yet? That guy is demonstrating with me. You are a stubborn donkey. You can give the order. However, you have to wait until dawn tomorrow before letting him know."

He returns to the army!"

Zhao Yuhe went out with a smile. Tang Qiuli walked to the window and looked at the dark night sky, "Hitler, what on earth are you doing?" he said to himself.
