Age of Conquest Reborn

Tang Qiuli had a good idea of ​​the situation on the battlefield in the Far East after the German army attacked the Soviet Union, and he was very confident. The East Point troops plus the Japanese Kwantung Army, with a strength of nearly two million, could completely annihilate the more than four million Soviet troops in the Far East.

, is obviously an unrealistic fantasy.

However, it is entirely possible to entangle and delay the retreat of the Soviet army. It does not take too long, a month is enough. In addition, the Soviet army in the Far East returns to support the western battlefield of the Soviet Union and travels a long distance.

It would take at least a month quickly. Under the fierce attack of the German army, two months would be enough for the European part of the Soviet Union to fall into the hands of the German army, which terrified Stalin.

A wounded dog will become even crazier. The Japanese Kwantung Army alone will make the Soviet army's retreat difficult. Therefore, pointing east to the north and entering the Chita line may seem dangerous, but in fact, you can take flexible and easy countermeasures.

His own advantageous strategy was to have the Japanese Kwantung Army bite the Soviet Army, but it was not the East Point Force's turn to take the lead. Moreover, the East Point Force's entry into the Chita area was the key to Tang Qiuli's next plan.

Occupying a favorable position, he could launch an attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army at any time. Tang Qiuli did not want the Kwantung Army to recover from its injuries before attacking again. The Japanese Kwantung Army, which was beaten half to death by the Soviet army, was weak and took advantage of his illness.

The truth that killed him was played with proficiency in Tang Qiuli's hands.

Of course, Stalin could choose to compromise with the Japanese in order to get rid of the Soviet troops in the east as soon as possible and reinforce the battlefield in Europe. However, the price paid would probably be huge, and even if the Japanese reaped all the benefits,

, thinking that they are capable enough to open up the net and let the Soviet troops in the Far East go, that is also wishful thinking.

In Outer Mongolia, on the Chita front line in the Far East, there is also its own independent division with more than one million troops. If you want to leave, it depends on whether you agree. And the Japanese have benefited, and they will naturally be happy to see themselves entangled with the Soviet army.

The struggle, whichever side consumes it, is good for the Japanese, so why not do it? It will definitely not help Stalin. If he turns around and deals with himself!

Between the scarred Japanese Kwantung Army and the independent division that had not suffered any losses and was recuperating, Stalin would be forced to make a choice and agree to both the Japanese and his own conditions. Stalin could not afford such a high price.

, and he does not have enough chips to satisfy the demands of both parties. What's more, as far as the Japanese are concerned, greed has no bottom line.

Tang Qiuli could conclude that if Hitler took action against the Soviet Union, Stalin would have to transfer back the Soviet troops in the Far East and Outer Mongolia no matter what. Otherwise, the European part of the Soviet Union, which was based on it, would be full of smoke and there would be a danger of annihilation.

. Therefore, the East Point troops marched north from Chita, which was a risky move, and it was also a clever move. It accurately identified the fate gate that the Soviet army could not afford to contend with. It also told Stalin that my Tang Qiuli's troops would be ready at any time.

Cut off your retreat!

Once all the joints were figured out, Zhao Yuhe suddenly understood. The layout of the entire Outer Mongolia region and the Far East region was displayed three-dimensionally before his eyes. His thinking seemed to have never been clearer. The division commander had begun to lay out the plan in the past few years.

Today, he finally saw the results, and in his heart, he only had sincere admiration!

"Commander, if the war situation continues as it is, won't it be that the day when we can regain the Northeast is not far away?" Zhao Yuhe said excitedly as he geared up.

Tang Qiuli also said with some excitement: "Soon, but not now. At least before all the Soviet troops have withdrawn, Stalin has not come to ask for peace. Recovering the Northeast still needs to wait, but it will not be too long."

Commander, by the way, Yuhe, you call Chutian and ask him to come to the headquarters, he has an important task!"

In less than ten minutes, Chu Tian appeared in front of Tang Qiuli's office, neatly dressed, and loudly announced: "Reporting to the division commander, Chu Tian, ​​the leader of the special operations detachment, has been ordered to come and ask for instructions from the division commander!"

Tang Qiuli's rich voice came over, "Come in, don't speak so loudly, you're all working!"

Chu Tian pushed the door open and came in, eagerly saying: "Division commander, I heard from the chief of staff that you have an important task that you want to hand over to the special operations detachment?"

Tang Qiuli looked at Chu Tian, ​​whose eyes were shining, and asked, "How are the troops resting?"

Chu Tian smiled and replied: "Commander, don't you know that those guys in the special operations detachment are itching all over after just two days of idle time? The special operations detachment is always ready for the division commander's orders!"

"Okay!" Tang Qiuli said with satisfaction: "Chutian, I will give your special operations detachment an important task. Set off immediately to destroy all the bridges and roads you see along all the routes that the Soviet army may take to retreat.

, the more severe the destruction, the better. It is up to you to decide how to do it. I will not interfere. I only ask for one thing to prevent the Soviet army from moving smoothly. If necessary, you can ask the bomber unit of the Northern Flying Group to assist!"

Chu Tian stood upright, clicked his feet, and said loudly and forcefully: "Commander, please rest assured that the special operations detachment will ensure that it completes its mission and ensures that the Soviet army's retreat route will be filled with blood and the steps will be difficult!"

After Chutian left, Tang Qiuli's body and mind completely relaxed. He seemed a little confused, the kind of confusion that comes after a high degree of tension. He had done what he should do, what should he do next?

Just then, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came in, and Tang Qiuli said: "Yuhe, please inform the cooking team to prepare some midnight snacks. Why, I still feel empty in my stomach. By the way, get some more wine."

Come over later, let's drink wine and wait until dawn, waiting for Hitler's telegram. At this moment, the German head of state must be so excited that he can't sleep!"

Zhao Yuhe smiled and said humorously, "Sir, aren't you the same? Put the wine by the window and wait for the sound of the cannon!"

Tang Qiuli said very seriously: "It's definitely different. I sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. I am aloof from other things. I don't have Hitler's nervousness and excitement. By the way, don't forget to ask the cooking team to prepare dinner."

If you can’t eat it, bring me the meat!”

In early April 1942, there was no tense atmosphere at all on the long border between Poland and the Soviet Union. The footsteps of spring had vaguely arrived on this land, but the wind before dawn still carried a biting chill.

On the Soviet side of the border, there were several short barbed wire fences, but on the Polish side, there was not even a barbed wire fence. Of course, this is only symbolic.

The Soviets living on one side of the border can rest assured. Germany and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact. Moreover, under the leadership of the great leader Comrade Stalin, the territory of the Soviet Union was expanded to many parts. The three Polish states

About one-third of the country has been incorporated into the territory of the Soviet Union. All Soviet soldiers on the border know that it was the Soviet Union and Germany that divided Poland. When the Soviet and German armies met in central Poland, the scene was quite heated.

With such a neighbor, what is there to worry about?

Most of the troops here have been transferred to the East. It is said that they are going to fight the Chinese and Japanese. What is left are only second-rate troops. Maybe it won't be long before the Soviet Union's territory will increase dramatically!

The small town of Lviv on the border between Poland and the Soviet Union is a prominent point in Belarus that protrudes into Poland. In the town, a regiment of border defense troops from the Soviet Belarusian Military District is stationed, with a strength of more than 2,000 people.

It is the 68th Border Guard Regiment of the Belarusian Military District.

Less than three kilometers away from Lviv, in Poland, is a stronghold of the German garrison. A German regiment is stationed there. The distance is so close that you can clearly see the color of the quilt the opponent is drying.

Soldiers from both sides met every day, but the relationship was quite friendly. When the patrols were patrolling, they would greet each other across the boundary marker, and even give each other cigarettes, etc., which profoundly reflected the relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany.

friendly relations.

The Chief of Staff of the 68th Border Guard Regiment of the Soviet Army, Lieutenant Colonel Kiryakov, has been quite angry recently. Comrade the regiment leader went back to the mainland for vacation, and Comrade Political Commissar went to attend a political-work meeting organized by the military region. It is said that he was with

It was related to the war in the East. All the burdens of the regiment were on his shoulders. Every day was a lot of trivial things that needed to be dealt with by himself. For example, a certain soldier was drunk and accidentally touched a girl's breast.

butt.

For another example, a second lieutenant platoon leader actually made a family's daughter pregnant. The girl's parents found the regiment and refused to live or die. Chief of Staff Kiryakov was so angry that he put the second lieutenant platoon leader in solitary confinement.

Preparing to be expelled from the military, and... there are many similar violations of military discipline by officers and soldiers of the garrison. Just these trivial matters are enough to worry about.

Chief of Staff Kiryakov came to the conclusion that his life was too leisurely. Sometimes he even thought viciously, "Send these restless guys to the Eastern battlefield to fight with the Japanese and Chinese."

After fighting, maybe, after coming back, you will be much more honest, right?"

However, it is indeed nothing serious. The Germans opposite are as honest as a big girl who has never been out of the house. They go out and train in the same manner every day. Even Chief of Staff Kiryakov is tired of seeing it.

I laughed secretly, "Germans are just rigid and don't live a wonderful life!" If only the gang of bastards under him hadn't made the town across the street a mess!

It is undeniable that Chief of Staff Kiryakov is a competent soldier. He has the habit of patrolling the outpost every day, and today is no exception. However, it is more than an hour earlier than usual. I don’t know why, but he has been sleeping very poorly recently.

Well, just get up early, take two guards with you, and walk towards the post closest to the border.

In just over twenty minutes, Chief of Staff Kiryakov arrived at the sentry post and asked the sentry on duty in a routine manner. Everything was normal. It was like this every day. He felt a little numb. He looked at the sentry log and saw that it was blank.

, which is normal. Then, he inadvertently picked up the telescope and pointed the lens at the German outpost opposite.
