Age of Conquest Reborn

Zhukov knew that his question was meaningless. If Moscow responded with a telegram, no matter what the final decision was, Godaev would tell him immediately, but he still wanted to ask. Perhaps it was a hope in the face of despair.

, or to divert the feeling of despair that there is nothing to do.

Chief of Staff Godaev smiled bitterly and said, "Comrade Commander, no - I have ordered the radio room to be turned on around the clock. As soon as there is news, we will report it as soon as possible. However, so far, Moscow has not responded to our telegram.

It keeps repeating, 'Please wait patiently'. According to my guess, it should be that the Supreme Command has not made a final decision and is currently discussing it!"

Zhukov sighed silently, "Regarding the situation of the war in the Far East, the telegram has been sent for four or five days. For such a long time, the high command is still hesitating, but it does not know that the dangerous situation faced by the Far East Front army, if it is delayed for one more day, Japan will

The tighter the noose around one's own neck is, the tighter the noose is! The living space on the battlefield is compressed!"

Zhukov even thought that even if Comrade Stalin made it clear that it was impossible to mobilize troops and return reinforcements, the Far East Army would wish itself well. In this way, he could make up his mind and fight to the death, suffering like this in the endless wait.

, which not only tortures people's psychology, but also loses many opportunities to change the situation on the local battlefield. However, thinking about it, before Moscow makes a statement, it can only wait in pain!

Chief of Staff Godaev looked at Comrade Commander's gloomy eyes and tentatively suggested: "Comrade Commander, should we send a telegram to the General Staff again to emphasize the dangerous situation the Far East Front is currently in and urge Moscow

Make a decision as soon as possible?”

Zhukov shook his head. It’s not necessary. The bosses of the General Staff and the Headquarters are all experienced generals. They don’t know the authenticity of the content of their telegrams and the actual situation on the Far East battlefield. But it’s understandable.

There is only one reason why the high command hesitated to issue a clear order. It was a dilemma. It was making a difficult choice between rescuing the Far East Front and resisting the German troops approaching Moscow.

"Comrade Chief of Staff, let's not think about this matter anymore. At present, the most important thing to do is to order the troops to make all preparations for battle defense, especially the troops on the left and right wings. We cannot allow the Japanese army to continue to compress our battlefield.

Space, counterattack, spare no effort to counterattack, we must keep our defense area at a sufficient depth. Let's pass on the order!" Zhukov said exhausted physically and mentally.

After looking at his chief of staff and recording the order, Zhukov rubbed his face several times with his rough hands, as if this could dispel the clouds in his heart and the fatigue all over his body, and said: "Comrade Chief of Staff,

I'm going to rest for a while. If there's any emergency, wake me up immediately!" After giving the order, Zhukov's tall and slightly hunched figure had already staggered and disappeared into the tent.

As he walked towards the narrow shell-proof hole, the cold wind with a salty smell blew outside. Zhukov couldn't help but shiver and wrapped his military coat tightly. He suddenly thought of the Outer Mongolia Front Army, which was an independent evacuation direction.

What is Vasilevsky's current situation?

If the Outer Mongolian Front Army successfully reaches the European battlefield, perhaps Comrade Stalin will consider fully rescuing the Far East Front Army? Zhukov smiled bitterly and tried to get rid of this unrealistic idea. That Chinese Tang Qiuli would not let the Huaxi Lie

Perhaps the situation of the Outer Mongolian Front Army was worse than his own. At the same time, he was also a little angry with himself, "When did I, Zhukov, place my fate on others?"

In Kulun, the capital of Outer Mongolia, the 35th Group Army of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front fled without a fight. Sun Zhenbang's regiment, which had given up on Kulun and was ready for a big fight, recaptured Kulun without firing a single shot.

On the same day, the temporary headquarters of the independent division was also moved to Cullen.

Because Liu Tiehan successfully used mine arrays on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, blocking the two Soviet front troops from moving. The original plan was for Sun Zhenbang's regiment to immediately reinforce the Far East battlefield after regaining Kulun. Now it seems that it has been

There was no need, so Tang Qiuli issued an order for the Outer Mongolia Field Corps and the Independent Division Armored Corps to rest and reorganize in Kulun City.

For Sun Zhenbang, the days of rest are boring and difficult. The Outer Mongolia Field Corps has just shown some vigor and vitality. With the meaning of a field regiment, from officers to soldiers, morale is like a rainbow, and they are gearing up to fight again.

At this moment, it is time to strike while the iron is hot. With this momentum, we can fight more battles and temper the troops. Sun Zhenbang believes that with a few more big battles, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps will be basically mature.

But at the critical moment, the division commander ordered the troops to rest and recuperate. Several regiments fighting in the northern region were all fighting vigorously, but his own troops were the only ones to rest and recuperate. Sun Zhenbang did not understand the division commander's intention, and complained in private.

There are a lot of strange stories.

Of course, Sun Zhenbang would never dare to express his dissatisfaction with complaints and weird words in front of his division commander Tang Qiuli, but in front of Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, he couldn't help it, "Chief of Staff

You said, you also know what the teacher is like

Thinking about it, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps is now like a piece of iron that has been melted red together on the battlefield. If you don't take advantage of the heat and smash it with a few hammers to take shape as soon as possible, the division commander would be better off ordering the troops to stay where they are.

Rest!”

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe looked at the dissatisfied Sun Zhenbang with a smile and said, "What do you mean by Commander Sun?"

When Sun Zhenbang saw the chief of staff talking to him, he continued his complaint: "When the troops are high in fighting spirit and eager to fight, the division commander's order is like pouring buckets of cold water on a red-hot iron block.

Well, it's not good, it will hurt the troops

Not to mention the enthusiasm, but also to pour the iron out of the cracks. My point is very simple. The Outer Mongolia Field Corps immediately plunges into the battlefield. It can be responsible for the combat mission in one direction alone, or it can cooperate with other corps. We

Sun Zhenbang is not picky about food!"

Zhao Yuhe looked at Sun Zhenbang, who was getting a little angry, and couldn't help laughing secretly in his heart, and suggested: "Commander Sun, why don't you report these ideas to the division commander?"

Not to mention, Sun Zhenbang really went to see his division commander Tang Qiuli. However, in front of his division commander, Sun Zhenbang had no temper at all. He did not dare to say a word of the complaints he could say to the chief of staff.

Son hesitated, said hello and then left. Tang Qiuli also knew Sun Zhenbang's purpose, and deliberately did not reveal it. Just like that, Sun Zhenbang came to teach him several times a day, just like visiting.

Sometimes, in order to be bolder and more persuasive, I would also rope in the armored commander Battelle, but Battelle declared in advance, "You can accompany me to see the division commander, but I will never help you speak!"

On this day, Sun Zhenbang and Battelle had just left. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came to Tang Qiuli's office with several telegrams in his hand. He closed the door and said with a smile: "Commander, Commander Sun is here to see you again."

, he doesn’t feel tired even after a day trip to the teacher’s guide?”

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Sun Zhenbang wants to fight, he is almost going crazy, but I don't have any tasks for him now. The corps directly under him is on the western front and is facing the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army. It is proceeding according to the plan. Deputy Liu

The division commander was on the battlefield in the Far East and watched the Soviet army crawl like a tortoise every day. Now he is very leisurely. The war situation is like this. There is no other way but to put Sun Zhenbang on standby. By the way, Yu He, what kind of telegram?"

Zhao Yuhe slapped his forehead and said hurriedly: "Commander, I am from the Intelligence Department regarding the Far East battlefield. Zhukov's troops, the three armies that evacuated the battlefield early, were attacked head-on by the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force and the North Korean garrison. Almost the entire army

The Japanese troops were destroyed and pushed back to the original battlefield. The Japanese troops commanded by Zai Ren are stepping up their efforts to close the net. The situation of the Soviet Far East Front troops is precarious!"

Tang Qiuli took the telegram, read it over, and then said: "From the time Zhukov noticed the Japanese intention to the failure of taking action, several days passed, and no Soviet troops were seen on the line from Chita to Irkutsk.

, there are signs of return aid, Stalin is making a dilemma!"

"If we turn back to rescue Zhukov's troops, the battle will be long-term and cannot end as soon as possible. The Soviet troops heading to the European battlefield in the Far East will be dragged back to the Far East. The German offensive is very fierce. Yesterday, the German General Staff conducted a routine

During the report of the war situation,

Mentioned that a battle encirclement of Moscow would be possible by the end of May or early June at the latest. Stalin obviously did not want to see this situation happen. If there was no rescue, a front army with more than one million troops would be wiped out by the Japanese.

Eat it, and Stalin won’t feel so distressed to death!”

Zhao Yuhe thought for a while and said: "Commander, judging from the current battlefield situation, Stalin does not need to order the Transkhinggan Mountains Front Army and the Baikal Lake Front Army to return all reinforcements. He only needs one front army unit, and the remaining troops are

We can return to the European battlefield according to the original plan. Deputy Commander Liu's mine array cannot delay the Soviet army for a long time!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "If there were no Japanese troops dispatched to the Far East and North Korean garrison troops, this would have been possible, but it is different now. Zai Ren has three troops with a total strength of nearly two million. The Soviet army

A front army unit returns to reinforce, but it does not have an advantage in strength, and it will end up being trapped. Zai Ren has capital in his hands and dares to engage in a large-scale decisive battle with the Soviet army!"

"If both front armies turn around to rescue the Far East Front and return to the previous deadlock, the battle will be delayed. What will happen to Soviet Europe and Moscow? Hitler will not leave much time for himself.

,So, Stalin has a very headache now!"
