Age of Conquest Reborn

"Isn't it necessary?" Yang Ketian asked in shock, "Deputy division commander, we have established a blockade from Chita to Irkutsk. Although the purpose is to delay the evacuation of the Soviet army and not engage in frontal combat with the Soviet army, but

, wouldn’t it be a pity not to take advantage of such a great opportunity to severely damage the Soviet army? At the same time, it would not violate the strategic intention of the division commander. So, please consider my suggestion, deputy division commander!” He went on to clarify his point of view.

Liu Tiehan put down the telescope, looked at Yang Ketian, and said in a relaxed tone: "Ketian, you must remember the requirements of the division commander. On the battlefield in the Far East, our purpose is not to cause heavy damage to the Soviet army. Last night, the division commander personally called,

This point is specifically explained. If we severely damage the Soviet army, it will break the balance between the Soviet army and the Japanese army, which is not in our interests. The Kwantung Army has assembled three troops with a strength of more than two million. It is the Japanese army and the Soviet army.

A time to consume each other.”

"If we hit the Soviet Trans-Xing'anling Front Army and the Lake Baikal Front Army too hard and lose the ability to turn back to rescue Zhukov's troops, in the future we will have to face the Japanese army with little loss. Is this beneficial to us?"

"Furthermore, if we take action, our strength will be exposed in front of the Soviet army. On the contrary, it will make the Soviet army make up its mind and leave regardless of casualties. Wouldn't it be better to hide it this way? What the division commander means is to try to facilitate

The two Soviet troops returned to aid Zhukov, allowing the Soviet and Japanese troops to engage in a bloody fight on the battlefield in the Far East, consuming each other's strength, especially the strength of the Japanese army."

"Although the two Soviet troops, forced by Stalin's orders, may insist on returning to the European battlefield regardless of the dangerous situation of Zhukov's troops, we must make two-pronged preparations. Don't worry, Ketian, our mine array alone can

Wait until Zhukov's troops are surrounded by the Japanese army!"

Yang Ketian didn't speak. He was obviously deep in thought. However, in his heart, he was still not convinced, but he couldn't come up with a reason for being unconvinced.

Liu Tiehan was near Chita. He seemed to be sitting on a mountain watching the fight between tigers and tigers. He was pointing out the battlefield, chatting and laughing in an extremely leisurely manner. General Kilganin on the other side of the mine array was anxious and exhausted. At the same time, he received another call.

Zhukov's telegram said, "The 21st Group Army of the Far Eastern Front and the logistics troops have left the battlefield and will meet up with your troops near Chita and establish a channel to connect with the Far East battlefield!"

At first glance, there was nothing surprising about the content of the telegram. It was simply that the troops of the Far Eastern Front had begun to withdraw from the battlefield. However, General Kilganin was an experienced battlefield general, but he smelled something ominous in this telegram.

.

The Far East Front Army has nearly two million troops. Although it has been fighting continuously with the Japanese Kwantung Army for more than a month, the force consumption is not large. According to normal circumstances, the first troops to evacuate should be at least three to four group armies.

Although there are many troops, why can only one army group be able to reach Chita and rendezvous with its own troops?

Based on this, General Kilganin came to a chilling conclusion, "Zhukov's Far Eastern Front is in big trouble, and the trouble comes from the Japanese! It may not be able to escape from the battlefield smoothly on time!"

However, based on General Kilganin's understanding of the battlefield situation and the current strength and strength of the Kwantung Army, it is impossible to entangle the Far East Front Army, unless the Japanese also secretly mobilized other troops with the intention of encircling the Far East Front Army in the Far East.

On the battlefield, after the withdrawal of our own troops and those of the Baikal Front, to a certain extent, the Far East Front would become a lonely force, making it difficult for the Japanese to encircle them.

The line from Chita to Irkutsk is more than 400 kilometers away from the Far East battlefield. Such a large gap is enough for other Japanese troops to pass through. Realizing this, General Kilganin broke out in a cold sweat.

He carefully measured the battlefield situation. The only feasible way now is for his troops to turn around together with the Baikal Front Army and return to support the Far East Front Army. Then, the three front armies will be put together. With such a huge heavy force group, whether it is the Japanese or the

Tang Qiuli couldn't even speak, and could only stare blankly as the troops continued to retreat westward.

Turning around and returning to support the Far Eastern Front Army was a matter of his own order, but - but, this order was difficult to give. The General Staff sent out a telegram every day, and the content was the same, urging his troops to move as quickly as possible.

, returning to the European battlefield, the German army had already reached the city of Moscow. General Kilganin understood better that the orders of the General Staff were the orders of Comrade Stalin.

On the one hand, it is the dangerous situation faced by the Far East Front Army, which needs to be pulled back. On the other hand, Comrade Stalin's urgent orders delay Comrade Stalin's life-saving plan. Of course, General Kilganin is well aware of the consequences.

, he was caught in a dilemma, and the minefield laid out by the Chinese was also a difficulty that could not be overcome in a short period of time.

Locking himself in the tent, General Kilganin racked his brains and thought hard. He had the intention to send a telegram to the commander of the Lake Baikal Front, General Gregarif, explaining his thoughts and opinions. Then, the two front armies joined hands.

Together they returned to rescue the Far Eastern Front. No matter how you put it, they were the Soviet Red Army. They were constantly giving up their robes, and Zhukov was not an annoying person either.

Furthermore, the weight of two front army commanders is always greater than that of one person. Even if Comrade Stalin becomes angry, he has to weigh it, but General Kilganin has considered a deeper level. General Gregariff's attitude is not yet

Mingming, who knows what his plan is, if he insists on it,

Comrade Stalin's order was followed, or even if Comrade Stalin knew the dangerous situation facing the Far Eastern Front, in order to defend Moscow, he abandoned the Far Eastern Front and ordered himself and General Gregariff's troops not to nod to return reinforcements. Once the telegram was sent, how could it be possible?

Doesn't it embarrass him?

General Kilganin sighed, his hair almost turning white in embarrassment, and finally wrote a telegram himself, "Comrade Zhukov, the speed of the evacuation of our troops on the Outer Khingan Mountains has been temporarily blocked at the Chita line, but

The problem is not big, the only thing I am worried about is that the Far Eastern Front is alone on the Far East battlefield and can easily become a target for the Japanese army to mobilize heavy troops to encircle it. Therefore, I remind Comrade Zhukov to pay attention to the Japanese army's conspiracy!"

"In addition, if there is a possibility that your unit will be surrounded by heavy Japanese troops, please be sure to report it to Comrade Stalin and state your strong relationship. Our Xing'anling Front Army will immediately turn around and return for reinforcements at any cost!"

This is the maximum effort that General Kilganin can do. Moreover, he vaguely felt in his heart that Zhukov did not inform the Far East Front of the dangerous situation that the Far East Army was about to face. I am afraid that he also had many concerns. The most important thing in person was Comrade Stalin.

He did not believe that with Zhukov's military talent, he could not detect the Japanese army's intentions and conspiracies. Otherwise, why would he send a group army unit to communicate with his own troops? He was preparing for the worst!

The Burya Mountains are hundreds of kilometers long and lie in the northwest of Birobidzhan. The peaks are not high, but they act like a natural barrier, blocking the fertile plains from the Outer Xing'an Mountains to Heilongjiang from the Siberian cold current.

Outside, over the rolling mountain peaks, facing the Kukan Mountains, the plain between the two mountains, nearly a hundred kilometers wide, is where the Soviet Union's three fronts in the Far East fought with the Japanese Kwantung Army for more than a month.

The battlefield of the moon.

After more than a month of desperate fighting, the Soviet Army and the Japanese Kwantung Army, with more than 17.8 million soldiers on both sides, fell on the plain between the two mountains. Artillery fire and shouts of death were heard in this area of ​​shallow swamps.

On the wetland plains, there has never been peace. On the frozen swamps, dark red bloodstains were spotted quickly. Although it snowed a few times, it could not cover up the bloodstains. The strong northwest wind blew up the floating snow, revealing each scene.

Shocking dark red.

Captain Vatutin, leader of the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion of the Intelligence Department of the Soviet Far East Front, led his team of more than 200 scouts to climb halfway up a mountain peak, looking back at the battlefield where the sound of artillery was still rumbling and the smoke was still filling the air.

Captain Tuking looks at

Looking at the white snow on the mountain peaks, I took a greedy breath of fresh air and felt unusually comfortable. It seemed that it had been accumulated in my lungs for many days. The smell of gunpowder smoke and blood on the battlefield were all eliminated with my breath.

, refreshing to the mind.

The mission of the Third Reconnaissance Brigade is to cross the Brya Mountains and move forward to the west bank of the Brya River to reconnoiter the enemy situation in that area and establish a front perimeter guard post here. To this end, one brigade is equipped with ten

Yubu radio station has reached almost every team

There is a radio station that can contact the front army intelligence department at any time. In the event of an emergency, for example, as Commander Zhukov has judged, another Japanese unit or team's radio station can directly report the information to the front army.

Headquarters Intelligence Department.

In order to ensure the scope of the search, Captain Vatutin dispersed his nine squads in parallel directions. The distance between each squad was about thirty kilometers. They maintained radio contact, and Captain Vatutin himself

, led the brigade directly under the squad, and formed its own path, taking the most direct route to the battlefield. After climbing over the mountain pass, you can overlook the entire battlefield.

However, Captain Vatutin himself did not care much about this reconnaissance mission. As a reconnaissance veteran, he did not think that with such terrain conditions, a large number of Japanese troops would choose to cross the Blea Mountains here.

Just because of the snow on the top of the mountain and the slippery mountain road with bare hands, a large Japanese army can pass through here. If a battalion of troops is deployed here, plus a dozen light and heavy machine guns, it can stop 100,000 Japanese troops.

After walking nearly a hundred kilometers in more than a day and night, even the well-trained scouts were exhausted. Seeing that the troops were too tired, Captain Vatutin gave the order to rest on the spot for thirty minutes.
