Age of Conquest Reborn

In the small town of Delen in southern Outer Mongolia, at the temporary headquarters of the Reading Force Division, on the night of April 28, division commander Tang Qiuli was listening to a report from division chief of staff Zhao Yuhe. The content of the report was about the field battle in Outer Mongolia.

Corps, the upcoming battle to recapture Cullen...

Zhao Yuhe looked at the telegram in his hand and said: "Division Commander, according to the report of the reconnaissance unit of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, the remnants of the 35th Soviet Army Group in Kulun City showed signs of evacuating Kulun. According to the situation observed by the reconnaissance unit,

, the Soviet army, logistics and baggage troops in Cullen City are gradually moving out of the city, and the remaining army unit is also nervously packing up.

"About two divisions of Soviet troops have already left the city one after another! Judging from the direction of the Soviet evacuation, they want to retreat to the west, toward the Ural Mountains. Their intention is obvious, which is to head towards the main force of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front.

Move closer!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yuhe couldn't help but worry, "Division commander, the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, as well as Commander Battelle's armored forces, their leading troops will not be able to reach the outskirts of Kulun until 5 o'clock tomorrow morning at the earliest. However,

With the strength of the vanguard troops, it is impossible to form a situation of surrounding Coulomb. I am worried that once the remainder of the Soviet 35th Group Army escapes, the Coulun battle plan will come to nothing!"

Looking at the calm expression of the division commander, Zhao Yuhe suggested: "Division commander, should we order the Northern Flying Group to send out bomber units to bomb the remnants of the retreating Soviet 35th Group Army along the way, in order to slow down their retreat, and order the field operations in Outer Mongolia

Corps, give up the Coulomb battle plan, and instead pursue and annihilate the remainder of the Soviet 35th Group Army. It is a pity that the meat in your mouth is gone!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head slowly and asked: "Yuhe, what is the purpose of our Kulun battle?"

Zhao Yuhe replied without thinking: "According to the division commander's deployment, with the purpose of recovering Kulun, the main thing is to eliminate the remaining 70,000 people of the Soviet 35th Group Army who may be in danger on the Chita front line and behind our army.

Cullen is a nail wedged between the five pursuit troops of the directly affiliated corps and the troops commanded by Deputy Division Commander Liu, he must be removed!"

"Since the Soviet army has taken the initiative to withdraw from Kulun, hasn't our campaign objective been achieved?" Tang Qiuli said leisurely, "There is no need to pursue, the Soviet army of more than 70,000 people is not worthy of me using a field corps to let them go.

Go, Yuhe, order Sun Zhenbang to enter Culun immediately, give his troops a day to rest, and then assemble in Culun and stand by!"

After Zhao Yuhe wrote down the order on the telegram and handed it to a staff officer, he turned around and said to Tang Qiuli with a smile: "Commander, I can now confirm that you have given the Outer Mongolia Field Corps less than five days to complete the task in

Recovering Kulun without destroying the city is an impossible task. You must have anticipated this situation in advance, and it was just to put pressure on the Outer Mongolia Field Corps!"

Tang Qiuli did not laugh. Instead, he sighed and said slowly: "Yuhe, this is war. Unpredictable changes can happen at any time. I am not a god. I did not expect that the Soviet army took the initiative to withdraw from Kulun. Among them,

, there must be a reason, it’s just that we don’t know it!”

"However, this result is the best. No shot or bullet is wasted, and Sun Zhenbang's troops do not need to suffer casualties. I do not pursue, the Soviet army can escape safely, and Cullen changes hands unscathed, which solves my worries. Everyone is happy.

The situation!" At the end of his sentence, he laughed, like a breeze blowing on his face.

Zhao Yuhe's eyes twitched a few times, and he strongly agreed with the division commander's statement, "It's just that I just feel that the more than 70,000 Soviet troops are the turtles in the urn, and it would be a pity to let them go!" He added.

"What a pity -?" Tang Qiuli asked with a smile, and without waiting for Zhao Yuhe to answer, he added: "It's not a pity. In more than ten days, millions of Soviet troops will be crossing the border. By then,

, I’m afraid our appetite is not big enough!”

While the two were talking, Chen Feng, director of the division commander's communications department, came in and said, "Report to the division commander and chief of staff that we have received a telegram from Commander Liu Hongzhang of the 1st Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps. From now on, the 1st Brigade will stop pursuing the Soviet army.

The purpose is to wait for other troops to catch up and annihilate the two divisions of Soviet troops at their current position." He read clearly.

Zhao Yuhe became nervous and asked eagerly: "Director Chen, did Brigadier Liu say in the telegram that the reason for stopping the pursuit of the Soviet army was that the first brigade was threatened by a Soviet counterattack? Liu

The brigade commander had a premonition of danger and had to stop the pursuit?"

Tang Qiuli took the telegram, read it over, and said, "Yu He, don't be nervous, it's not as dangerous as you think. I was impressed by Liu Hongzhang, and spent several days and nights like crazy rushing into the Soviet army."

The fight stopped suddenly when it was going smoothly. Considering Liu Hongzhang's character, it is extremely valuable. He knew that it was not easy to stop the attack at just the right time to withstand the continuous attack!"

"After annihilating three Soviet divisions and capturing two more, Liu Hongzhang felt that he was good enough! He judged that if the first brigade continued to pursue in depth, I was afraid that it would encounter a strong counterattack by the Soviet army. He would

The strength of the brigade is not enough for Vasilev

It seems that Liu Hongzhang has been the deputy battalion commander in the baggage department for more than a month and has gained a lot! He has calmed down and at least knows that you can’t always take advantage of yourself - hahaha!"

Tang Qiuli laughed heartily.

Zhao Yuhe also laughed and said, "Commander, how do we call back the first brigade? The commander should have an attitude, right?"

Tang Qiuli asked back: "What are you calling back for? Being on the front line, the brigade commanders know the situation in much more detail than we do. Again, for the pursuing troops, the division commander is only required to report the location of the troops at any time.

, as for how to fight, that is their business, I will not interfere!"

"Yu He, it's been more than ten days since the pursuit started, and the commander has never been involved in the specific battle command. Didn't Liu Hongzhang and the others fight very well? Just don't do it to save worry and effort. What are you doing with your worries? Okay.

,After Cullen’s nail was pulled out, a large part of my heartache went away. The rest depends on how the Japanese and the Soviet army will fight in the Far East! Send a telegram to Deputy Commander Liu, and the situation in the Far East will be serious.

Changes, pay close attention to them!”

The situation in the Far East is still murky and unclear, as if it were dull before the storm. In addition to the inextricable fight between the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Far East Army, there are also those who quietly pounce on the battlefield between the Burya Mountains and the Kukan Mountains.

, Japan's Far East Expeditionary Force, and Japan's Korean Resident Troops, like two hungry wolves stalking in the dark night, march towards their destination covertly day and night.

In order to suddenly encircle the Soviet Far East Front Army in the current combat zone, Prince Zai Ren, the Chief of General Staff of the Japanese Army Base Camp and Commander-in-Chief of the Far East Campaign, spent a lot of effort. In addition to minimizing radio contact with the two armies, he only

in every

Except for the stipulated time of the day and the briefing from the campaign headquarters, radio silence was maintained at all other times. Regarding the issuance of temporary orders, Prince Zain took a unique approach, abandoning modern communication equipment and adopting primitive manpower delivery methods.

Prince Zai Ren was still worried about being so cautious. He had been fighting with the Kwantung Army on the front line of the Xing'an Mountains for two or three years. He knew how powerful Zhukov was. He was an experienced opponent with strong commanding abilities. As long as he heard a little

At the slightest sign of trouble, the Soviet Far East Front troops would immediately slip away. It would not be difficult for Zhukov to do so. As long as enough troops were left to resist the Kwantung Army's counterattack, the main force could still evacuate calmly.

What Prince Zai Ren is most afraid of is this. The big network he has worked so hard to compile cannot be harvested at all. In addition to taking high confidentiality measures in communications, Prince Zai Ren also does not hesitate to provide

The two armies issued an order to kill all villagers and urban residents who might expose the marching target on the way, passing by or passing by, without leaving any chickens or dogs behind!

The Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force and the North Korean Army in India were divided into two groups. After receiving the order from the Commander-in-Chief, they completely released the bloodthirsty killing intent in their hearts, like two hungry wolves with fangs exposed.

Burn and kill all the way, wherever you go

, the villages and towns had ten houses and ten empty spaces, corpses lay everywhere, rivers of blood flowed, and everyone was killed. After the Japanese army passed, the deserted villages and towns were filled with howling wolves, even in broad daylight. At night,

The bones all over the place are as terrifying as hell.

There were not many residents in the Far East of the Soviet Union. It was vast and sparsely populated, unlike Outer Mongolia. Tang Qiuli gave an order and almost all the residents evacuated to the interior, leaving only an empty place.

The deserted villages and towns were deserted by Prince Zain’s order, and the Far East of the Soviet Union was deserted for more than ten years.

General Zhukov, the commander of the Soviet Far East Front with more than one million troops to repel the crazy counterattacks of the Japanese Kwantung Army, has been feeling uneasy recently. On the surface, it seems that the Far East Front definitely occupies the battlefield initiative and has been defeated by the three front armies.

Joining forces, the Japanese Kwantung Army troops were fighting to the death and losing most of their troops. The counterattack at this moment is more reflected in the madness before death.

No matter how you look at it, Zhukov's plan was successful. The Far Eastern Front Army overwhelmed the Japanese Kwantung Army and made it unable to attack. The two units of the Outer Xing'anling Front Army and the Baikal Front Army successfully evacuated the Far East battlefield.

If there is any obstruction by the Japanese army, in four or five days, we can pass through the line from Chita to Irkutsk, enter the Outer Mongolia region, and then cross the Ural Mountains, which is equivalent to entering the European part of the Soviet Union.

As for his own troops, according to the plan, after completing the cover mission, they would deal the heaviest blow to the Kwantung Army, and then immediately leave the battlefield and quickly evacuate the Far East along the roads opened by the two front armies.

To this end, Zhukov has already begun preparations for evacuation.
