Age of Conquest Reborn

Encouraged by the division commander's gaze, Zhao Yuhe expressed his feelings confidently and boldly, "The situation on the battlefield is obvious. The main force of the Soviet Army's Outer Mongolia Front is eager to leave the battlefield. It will not be defeated by a half-crippled Thirty-seventh Army."

We turned around and rescued the Soviet troops remaining in Outer Mongolia, that is, these two army groups. Once they retreated from the Seyinshanda battlefield, we encircled and eliminated the defeated Soviet troops, leaving the 35th Group Army around Kulun.

Lonely."

"It is impossible for the Soviet commander not to be aware of the situation of the isolated army. Therefore, Cullen's Soviet army will inevitably go south for rescue. Once the Soviet army does this, what should we do? All troops have combat missions. Where to start?

Mobilize enough troops to block the rescuing Soviet army. The two Soviet armies combined will be a difficult problem for the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. If not done properly, the Soviet army will counterattack. Division Commander, please consider this carefully.

!" Because of his excitement, Zhao Yuhe's face flushed.

Tang Qiuli smiled relaxedly and said lightly: "Why are there no troops? Aren't the two brigades in my hand just mobile troops? We don't have enough troops to fight a big battle, but we have to stop the Soviet troops going south around Kulun and win for Sun Zhenbang.

It can still be done in two or three days, not to mention, I still have Liu Cuigang's aviation force, which can provide air fire support at any time, Yu He, please don't insist!"

As soon as he heard that the division commander commanded two brigades with no more than 40,000 troops to block the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops heading south from Cullen, Zhao Yuhe turned pale with anxiety. He also knew that the division commander would do such a thing.

The decision was made after careful consideration after comprehensively weighing the situation on the battlefield. It was by no means an impulsive adventure. However, it could not avoid the practical problem of the huge disparity in military strength.

"The division commander must not be allowed to put himself in danger. If necessary, send a telegram to Deputy Division Commander Liu and Deputy Division Commander Tang who is guarding the Indochina Peninsula and invite two veterans to dispel the division commander's ideas," Zhao Yuhe made up his mind and stubbornly said

Said: "Commander, I will carry out your order immediately, but there is one thing. You must obey my arrangements!"

"Oh!" Tang Qiuli was surprised and said with a smile: "It's just moving the headquarters to Delun and commanding from the front. Yuhe, you just want to fight in such a big arena with me. I won't let you finish what you said. I feel bad.

It's comfortable. Tell me, how did you arrange it?"

Tang Qiuli's tone was still gentle, but it had some other meaning. Zhao Yuhe could hear it, but he had to stick to his opinion.

Zhao Yuhe looked at Tang Qiuli without fear and said: "The division has moved forward to Delun. I have no objection, but I will lead some personnel from the staff office and lead the 11th and 12th brigade troops."

.Go to Delun and set up the division's forward command headquarters. At the same time, we will be responsible for blocking the southward rescue mission of the Kulun Soviet Army. Captain Huang's security brigade and you will stay in Saiyin Shanda to coordinate and command the overall situation. Division Commander, this is me.

arrangement!”

In fact, this was the best way Zhao Yuhe could come up with in a hurry. It was a compromise plan. The division commander and most of the headquarters stayed in Saiyin Shanda and commanded two brigades to block the attack. In this way, the division commander

There was no need to put oneself in danger. Several senior veterans of the independent division had repeatedly warned and urged themselves to ensure the safety of the division commander.

Tang Qiuli smiled silently, but shook his head very resolutely. Zhao Yuhe became even more anxious. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Qiuli stopped him with a wave of his hand, "Yuhe, don't say any more. I have made up my mind and will prepare immediately."

, Master, please set off immediately!"

Seeing that Zhao Yuhe's face was very ugly, and he was holding his neck and not moving, Tang Qiuli stared at him for a long time, suddenly became happy, and said as if to ease the atmosphere: "Yuhe, don't be so sullen, you can't imagine it."

The situation was so dangerous. There was a distance of more than 800 kilometers between Cullen's Soviet army and the defeated Soviet army. Within three to five days, they could not get together. What's more, Sun Zhenbang's troops were desperately pursuing them.

Can the Soviet army run back to Culun easily?"

Zhao Yuhe sighed secretly and said with some helplessness: "Commander, as the chief of staff, I have no right to change your order, but I reserve my opinion!" After saying that, he turned around and went out to arrange the matters assigned by the division commander.

But what Tang Qiuli didn't see was that in the corridor, Zhao Yuhe stopped an officer from the Communications Office and whispered in his ear: "In my name, call Deputy Commander Liu who is on the front line in Chita immediately.

Deputy Division Commander Tang from Indochina sent a telegram telling the two deputy division commanders that the division commander only led two brigades of troops to block a Soviet group army, and asked the two deputy division commanders to stop it!"

Looking at Zhao Yuhe's back, Tang Qiuli shook his head silently. He understood Zhao Yuhe's thoughts and was afraid that he would be in a dangerous situation, but he had to do this. The independent division's use of troops on the battlefield in Outer Mongolia had already

Reaching the limit, Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Field Corps besieged and pursued the Soviet 37th Army, but could not spare any troops. What's more, they were racing against the Soviet army, and it was impossible for any troops to rush in front of the Soviet army.

Half of the ten brigades of the Directly Affiliated Corps must be on the Tangnu Mountains and the Ural Mountains to block the Soviet army's westward retreat. To be honest, facing the main force of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army of more than one million people and the five brigades of the Directly Affiliated Corps,

The blocking line formed was about as thin as a piece of paper, and the greater intention was to put pressure on Stalin, which was a tactic and a bluff.

The other half of the troops used all their strength to chase the retreating Soviet army. If it weren't for Vasilevsky's accurate grasp, eager to leave the battlefield, and unwilling to get entangled, Tang Qiuli would not have known how to fight.

In a dangerous move, the 2.78 million troops were divided into two parts, blocking the front and chasing more than 1 million Soviet troops.

Therefore, the only way to stop the 35th Army of the Kulun Soviet Army from moving south, to rescue the Soviet army that had retreated from the Seyinshanda battlefield, and to buy time for Sun Zhenbang's troops was to use the only two brigades in his hands.

After the Soviet 37th Group Army, Sun Zhenbang was free to make the next step. Tang Qiuli planned to capture Kulun in one fell swoop, so that the troops in the Outer Mongolia region would become the second entanglement after the East Point troops.

The Soviet defense line in the Far East.

Although this move seems dangerous, Tang Qiuli made the decision after careful consideration and comprehensive assessment of the battlefield situation. The commander of the 35th Soviet Army will not devote all his troops to rescue the 30th Army.

The Seventh Army still had Cullen to defend. Liu Chun's four cavalry brigades moved towards Minusinsk in a concealed manner, without the Soviet commander knowing.

Therefore, the force that the Soviet army can send to the Cullen direction is at most one corps plus attached troops, which is a little over 50,000 to 60,000 people. He has two elite mechanized infantry brigades in his hands, with a strength of close to 40,000 people.

There is no problem in cooperating with Liu Cuigang's aviation force to fight an evenly matched blocking battle, but I know that Zhao Yuhe's worries are not unreasonable. If the Soviet troops in the direction of Cullen come out in full force, the blocking battle will be very difficult.

.

But this is only a case in case. Tang Qiuli firmly believes in his judgment, and also believes in Sun Zhenbang. He can catch up with the 37th Army before the Kulun Soviet Army is dispatched. In this way, everything will be fine, and there is no danger. In turn,

, and also ordered Sun Zhenbang's troops to march directly to Kulun.

Facing the battlefield in Outer Mongolia, the enemy was outnumbered. Although the situation was very favorable to him, it could not change the fact. It was not that Tang Qiuli had not thought about deploying Yuan Jinghao's North China Field Corps or Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps.

Joining the Outer Mongolia battlefield, but looking at the overall situation of the entire eastern battlefield, these two corps dare not move at all.

In comparison, Liu Tiehan's East Command troops faced greater pressure than himself. There were several million troops in the three fronts of the Soviet army. If the Japanese obtained the information, the Kwantung Army's vitality would be severely damaged, or in other words, it would be defeated.

Zhukov lost his courage and did not dare to bite the Soviet army in turn. Then, only Liu Tiehan's troops were slowing down the retreat of the Soviet army in the Far East. They were also very dangerous.

Therefore, Feng Jiwu's Corps and Yuan Jinghao's Corps will be sent to the Far East battlefield at any time. Although they are not facing the Soviet army head-on, if Stalin feels tremendous pressure and is forced to sit at the negotiating table, there will not be enough troops.

It was impossible. "I don't know whether Yu Deshui and Shen Jun disclosed the information about the Soviet army's eagerness to evacuate to the Japanese. If the Japanese don't participate in this three-way melee, they will lose a lot of fun!" Tang Qiu

Li thought to himself.

Thinking about it, Tang Qiuli also knew that this matter could not be rushed, and he also wanted the Japanese to know the information, and it was not easy to do it flawlessly so that the Japanese would not suspect it. Tang Qiuli smiled to himself and picked up the military

Putting on his coat, he picked up the specially made submachine gun that he had been using for several years. He felt a surge of blood in his heart. He wished he could fight a battle in person on the front line of Delenn and relive the memories of the past.

It had been many years since he had been in a battle in person, and he had almost forgotten the smell of war smoke. Tang Qiuli caressed the gun body, which had a very metallic texture, and pulled the bolt with a clatter, and a yellow bullet jumped into the barrel of the gun.

, "Report to the Division Commander, I received a telegram from the Director of the Intelligence Department, Deshui!" Chen Feng, Director of the Communications Department, came in and interrupted his thoughts.

"Oh! Yu Deshui sent a telegram. It's a big deal. What did he say?" Tang Qiuli put down his submachine gun and said with a little anticipation and excitement.

Chen Feng glanced at the submachine gun on the table, "I haven't seen the division commander playing with a submachine gun for a few years. It seems that the chief of staff is right. This time, the division commander really needs to go into battle in person. The battle situation is so tense.

To such an extent?" Chen Feng thought to himself, feeling a little distracted.

"Director Chen, is there any bad news in the telegram?" Tang Qiuli looked at the distracted Chen Feng strangely, "No matter what kind of news it is, it won't scare me, Director Chen.

, just read it boldly and confidently!" There was a hint of ridicule in his tone.
