Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 782 Zhukov takes action

After regaining Outer Mongolia, in order to gain a foothold as soon as possible to deal with the powerful Soviet army, Tang Qiuli, who was familiar with history, naturally knew what each class needed most. According to the actual situation, he would do what he wanted to satisfy the interests of each class, coordinate and

To resolve conflicts, Outer Mongolians will naturally not oppose anyone who brings them benefits, whether he is red or any other color.

Everywhere the reporter delegation went, there were voices of gratitude to Tang Qiuli and their embrace of returning to China. The reporters did not see any disgust or resistance from the Outer Mongolians. This made the reporters unbelievable.

The Mongolian People's Democratic Party has ruled Outer Mongolia for more than ten years, but there is no evidence of its existence. Except for the red slogans and slogans that are not completely covered on the mountain, the Mongolian People's Democratic Party and Qiuba Mountain, in the minds of Outer Mongolians, are

It's past history.

With disbelief and novelty, reporters sent back a large number of manuscripts and photos. For a time, mainstream newspapers around the world were full of photos of Tang Qiuli, or about the shocking changes that had taken place in Outer Mongolia, and the impact on the return of Mongolia.

After several rounds of China's excitement, the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which relied on rumors and deception, could no longer hold back its enthusiasm and could no longer come up with any new tricks. It gradually died down and the public opinion war came to an end for the time being.

The Soviets have been humiliated in front of the rest of the world. According to rumors, Comrade Stalin, the great leader of the Soviet people, was extremely angry at the Propaganda Department's disastrous defeat on the public opinion front and dismissed all the personnel of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in one fell swoop.

Even the guards watching the gate were not spared. These former Soviet mouthpieces and theoretical experts who had lost the lawsuit were escorted by Soviet soldiers to the Arctic Circle where natural conditions were extremely cruel, and left to fend for themselves.

The legal battle between Tang Qiuli and the Soviets was acrimonious, with each using his own unique and exciting tactics. Coupled with the major event of resuming the exercise of sovereignty over Outer Mongolia, it can be said that there are constant hot spots in the Far East and Central Asia.

What is strange to reporters and governments from various countries is that neither the Kuomintang, the ruling party in China, nor the largest opposition party, the Kuomintang, has issued any opinions or declarations on the debate between Tang Qiuli and the Soviets.

That's fine with the Kuomintang. After all, Tang Qiuli was authorized by the National Government to be the plenipotentiary representative for handling Outer Mongolian affairs. His voice could be regarded as the meaning of the National Government, but his silence made people feel unusually weird.

I think back when the Japanese launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, how resolute the Japanese attitude was and how clear their banner was. They won the hearts of all the people in one fell swoop and finally came to the forefront of history.

In fact, foreigners and other political forces may not know much about the difficulties faced by the Communist Party of China at this time. Tang Qiuli, who is familiar with history, has a clear understanding of the situation. Stalin must have created a huge problem for the Communist Party of China. Indeed, in

In Yan'an, northern Shaanxi, the five secretaries of the Communist Party of China all gathered in the cave of the Communist Party of China to read a telegram from afar.

Ever since Tang Qiuli's rapid rise in China, Stalin had unspeakable hatred and disgust for this powerful figure. It was an innate hatred among natural enemies that could not be reconciled or compromised. He had a premonition that he would soon

The rise of this person in Chinese politics will bring him great trouble and pose a threat to the security of the Soviet Union.

Before he could figure out how to avoid trouble and threats, Tang Qiuli came to the door and gave the Soviet Red Army a hard blow in Outer Mongolia, giving Stalin a resounding slap in the face. Stalin couldn't bear it no matter what, and he couldn't take advantage of it.

When you get the advantage and temporarily lose a move with your fist, then use various

The method was to create trouble for Tang Qiuli before Zhukov took action. After comprehensive consideration, the Japanese living on the Loess Plateau of China came into his sight. This was a chess piece that could be used, not to mention that the Soviet Union funded it.

After fighting for so many years, it was time for them to repay the Soviet Union.

In the name of the Communist International, Stalin sent an order to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, "Secretary Office of the Communist Party of China, in view of the damage caused by the new warlord Tang Qiuli to the cause of proletarian revolution in Outer Mongolia, the armed forces you have at your disposal are at this critical moment.

, should play its due role, launch a series of military operations against Tang Qiuli's army in the Sino-Mongolian border area, and on all the logistics transportation lines of Tang Qiuli's army, and use positive actions to contribute to our great proletarian cause.

Contribution, Executive Committee of the Communist International in Moscow.”

This telegram from the Communist International left no room for negotiation. It was a direct order to arm the Communist Party of China and launch a large-scale military operation against the army to which Tang Qiuli belonged. It put the Communist Party of China in an extremely disadvantageous position, not to mention...

Can the military power in front of * be a match for Tang Qiuli's army? The Eighth Route Army is still on the territory that has been divided by others. It is developing in a dull manner. Even if it is just attacking the Chinese team that regained the territory of Outer Mongolia, the common people are not shouting that *** is a traitor.

,traitor?

Domestic public opinion has regarded Tang Qiuli as a national hero. To be fair, the Communist leaders in their hearts welcomed and rejoiced at the Chinese Communist Party's recovery of the territory of Outer Mongolia.

The surname is Communist and it is inconvenient to make a public statement. On this point, *** leader *** has already lamented, "We are too passive in this matter. What will the people in the country think of us? The advantages we have gained since the Anti-Japanese War will be lost."

It’s weakened quite a bit.”

After all-night discussions among the five secretaries of the ** Secretariat, they concluded that the crime of this traitor must not be borne. The advantage they finally gained must not be lost. Once they meet Tang Qiuli, with the current strength of **, can they?

Establishing a foothold in the country is something that may or may not be known, so you won't have to lose all your money and go into exile in Moscow, right?

** replied to the Comintern: "Moscow, Executive Committee of the Communist International, in view of the current complex domestic situation in China, it is not appropriate for the *** armed forces to provoke any conflict, especially the domestic anti-Japanese forces. China's main enemy is the Japanese aggressor. In this big country,

Under the premise, it is really difficult to implement your request, and from now on we will focus all our energy on attacking the Japanese invaders." His tone was tactful but his attitude was firm.

The attitude of the Communist Party is very obvious. We will fight the Japanese. As for how you, the Soviets, and Tang Qiuli fight, we don’t ask or think about it. Stalin was also very angry. He did not consider the nationality of the Chinese people.

Emotions, especially Mao Zedong's personality, were the least willing to be manipulated by others. This inexplicable telegram also had a serious sequelae. From then on, Mao Zedong leaders, especially Mao Zedong, had a negative attitude toward Stalin and the Soviets.

The fear and vigilance that cannot be eliminated.

The Communist Party of China and the Eighth Route Army were not used by Comrade Stalin. Stalin was disappointed and authorized the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party to announce to the world that the final reason for sending troops to Outer Mongolia was that the great Soviet Red Army must deal with brutal suppression and bloody massacres.

Outer Mongolian Communists

The great warlord, executioner, and loyal lackey of imperialism, Tang Qiuli, was punished. This was the common wish of the proletariat all over the world and the urgent demand of the people of Outer Mongolia. Stalin finally found a fig leaf that could barely cover his body, and a

Far-fetched reasons.

Although the Soviets' words were confusing and their excuses were reluctant, their determination to reoccupy Outer Mongolia and eliminate Tang Qiuli's troops would not change. This was also the Soviets' declaration of war against Tang Qiuli. All countries knew clearly that Tang Qiuli

He and Stalin also knew in their hearts, and Lieutenant General Zhukov, commander of the First Army of the Soviet Far East, knew even more clearly that this was a battle order issued by the Supreme Commander, and it was also the final action timetable given to him.

In late August, Zhukov finally took action. The Soviet First Army of the Far East was divided into two groups. One group started from Minusinsk, crossed the Yenisey River, followed the Tangnushan Mountains on the Soviet-Mongolian border, and entered the western region of Outer Mongolia.

The only passage, Kazadwu Pass, attack

The Soviet troops along the way were 200,000 men, 2,000 artillery pieces, 1,500 tanks, and 300 aircraft. The infantry consisted of the 1st and 2nd Far Eastern Red Banner Infantry Corps, and the 1st Guards Infantry Corps.

5th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 11th Motorized Guards Divisions.

Starting from Irkutsk, they bypassed Lake Baikal and went straight to Kulun through Ulan-Ude. The Soviet troops along this route had 120,000 troops, 1,000 artillery pieces, more than 500 tanks, and more than 200 tanks.

aircraft, the infantry was the 3rd and 4th Red Banner Infantry Corps, the 1st and 3rd Motorized Field Divisions, and the 9th and 11th Field Infantry Brigades.

Tang Qiuli, who received the intelligence from the special operations team, was greatly surprised. Uncharacteristically, the Soviet army placed the main direction of its attack in the western region of Outer Mongolia. The purpose was obvious, that is, it wanted to eliminate the western region of Outer Mongolia and capture cities and territories.

Feng Jiwu's troops who established local power included six field infantry brigades and two cavalry brigades, totaling more than 90,000 troops.

With more than 90,000 light infantry, without aviation cover and armor as the main assault force, facing 200,000 heavily armored Soviet mechanized troops, the results can be imagined. What is even more serious is that in addition to the Tangnu Mountains,

In addition, in the entire western region of Outer Mongolia, there are no dangerous terrain conditions that can be relied upon, which are more suitable for the assault and advance of the Soviet armored mechanized troops. The troops in Feng Jiwu's hands are also scattered in various places.

Tang Qiuli broke out in a cold sweat. The battlefield he prepared on the main line of Hangai Mountain north of Kulun was to fight the entire Soviet Red Army. This time, only 120,000 people came, but all his troops were in this direction.

The army to which Feng Jiwu belonged turned out to be a weak force. This was the Soviet version of evading reality and taking advantage of the situation. Who was the expert commander of the Soviet army?

Tang Qiuli quickly ordered the special operations team to find out the name and rank of the Soviet commander. The information was quickly obtained. At first glance, he suddenly realized that it was him. Tang Qiuli was no stranger to Zhukov, and was even very familiar with it.

I admire this famous general of the Soviet army, but this time he met his opponent.
