Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 818: Blackmail

In the western region of Outer Mongolia, Tang Qiuli received a war report from Feng Jiwu, the deputy commander of the ** division and commander of the Niangziguan garrison, who had already controlled the Lake Baikal area and had established a foothold. There were about 120,000 Soviet troops approaching Lake Baikal.

area.

At first, Tang Qiuli was stunned. Could this Soviet army be here to deal with Feng Jiwu's troops? If so, the situation would not be immediate. Feng Jiwu was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength and would suffer losses in the fight. He immediately called Tang Qiusheng to study countermeasures.

, it was finally decided to send Tang Qiusheng to lead eight mechanized brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, with a total of more than 100,000 troops, to immediately assist Feng Jiwu.

Regardless of whether the Soviet army fights or not, they must be on guard against his actions. After Tang Qiusheng led the troops to set off, Tang Qiuli carefully filtered the telegram sent by Tang Qiuquan. The more he read it, the more he felt that there was something in it. The Soviet Union and Japan

People are fighting hard in the Haishanwei area. At this critical moment, the Soviets should not cause trouble in the Baikal area. They don't have the energy to fight with themselves. Besides, they still have Zhukov and hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers as hostages.

.

Thinking of the information about the current situation of Timoshenko's Second Army in the telegram sent by Qiuquan yesterday, Tang Qiuli suddenly realized that this was right. This Soviet army from the Transcaucasus was going to the Far East.

Those who came to the area to rescue Timoshenko were not the only ones, there were also a large number of troops behind them.

He slapped his thigh and shouted loudly: "Okay, Stalin can't sit still anymore. These are the troops going to put out the fire." This startled Chief of Staff Chang Feng, who had just sent Tang Qiusheng back, and asked quickly: "

Teacher, what happened?" "Chang Feng, come here quickly, there is a good show to watch."

Looking at Chang Feng's puzzled eyes, Tang Qiuli quickly pulled him to the map, pointed at the Soviet troops appearing from the direction of Transcaucasus, a curved marching route, and asked Chang Feng: "Chief of Staff Chang, what do you think?

Is there any way?" Chang Feng thought for a while in front of the map, and sparks suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Commander, you want to use this Soviet army to make a fuss?" Chang Feng asked rhetorically. Tang Qiuli laughed and nodded, and then said: "Zhukov and hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops have been surrounded for more than ten days, and Stalin has not sent any troops.

A delegation that can take charge of the matter, come and negotiate with us

, he is afraid of signing the alliance under the city, and is also afraid that our lion will open his mouth and cause him physical pain. This man will not shed tears until he sees the coffin. Seeing that we have not launched a war of annihilation for Zhukov's troops, and reinforcements have come from Transcaucasus, he feels in his heart

Fantasy."

"According to my estimation, the Soviets have no extravagant hope of solving the Outer Mongolia issue without bloodshed. But with these hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers and Zhukov, they can't even think of taking away a penny without spending any money."

, left us here to dry, want to turn around after solving the Kwantung Army, and then form military pressure on Outer Mongolia, gain the upper hand when negotiating with us, spend less or even no money, Stalin fought well

abacus."

Chang Feng also smiled and said: "According to the intelligence of Captain Qiuquan, Timoshenko's Far East Second Army is in an extremely bad situation. It is compressed in the Arsenyev area, with hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army surrounding him.

Fight hard, this Soviet army marches day and night to reinforce Timoshenko, so there will be no conflict with Deputy Commander Feng’s troops in the Lake Baikal area, and it’s too late to rush on.”

Tang Qiuli nodded greatly and said: "If he doesn't mess with us, let's mess with him. I'll ask him to send reinforcements to the Far East. In the Lake Baikal area, we won't be able to win even if we fight, and we won't be able to leave. Let's see who's in a hurry."

Huo, the eight brigades of Qiu Sheng's troops are now put to use. They hit the right spot and are lucky. This time, we must force Stalin, the old fox, to the negotiating table, and he will have to bleed profusely, hahaha."

Tang Qiuli's proud, old fox-like laughter made Chang Feng feel chills, and he secretly muttered in his heart: "You also said that Stalin was an old fox. Then, sir, you are a fox that has become a spirit. No, after a few consecutive moves, you have already eaten it."

We defeated Stalin and also consumed the strength of the Kwantung Army. We are taking advantage here. It is indeed extremely insidious."

Chang Feng was still recalling the division commander's series of plans when he suddenly heard Tang Qiuli calling him: "Chang Feng, record the order. Commanders Tang and Feng, the Niangziguan garrison will establish a blocking line on the only way the Soviet army must pass.

However, the attack cannot be launched first, and the priority is to prevent or delay the Soviet troops in the Transcaucasus direction."

"After the Sulu Mobile Corps arrived in the Lake Baikal area, it quickly joined Feng Jiwu's Corps. The two Corps together formed a blocking line against the Soviet army. The first priority was not to attack first. No matter whether these hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops were going to celebrate their birthdays or to

No amount of mourning will allow them to pass smoothly through the transportation artery from the Lake Baikal region to the Far East."

Chang Feng went to give the order. Tang Qiuli walked around the tent with his hands behind his back. He felt very comfortable. Brother Qiu Sheng and Feng Jiwu's troops did not need to fight. They only had to drag the Soviet troops for three days.

Time waits for Timoshenko, and Stalin will get angry and come to beg him, and the terms of the negotiation will be increased.

Thinking of this, Tang Qiuli shook his head again. Stalin also said, why bother? It would be easier to sit down and negotiate neatly. If you have to come up with a bad idea, let him use his old money this time. This deal is a sure profit.

pay

The Transcaucasian Front commanded by General Paul Pilyusky marched day and night, not daring to waste any time for fear of missing the leader's mission and losing his head. As the so-called "rescuing troops is like putting out fire," the poor Soviet soldiers ran wildly and bumpyly all the way.

, I even had to eat in the car, which was miserable.

It finally went well and nothing major happened. Admiral Paul Piliuski calculated the time. At this speed, he would definitely be able to reach the Far East within the specified time. The march route chosen by the Transcaucasus Front was through the south of Lake Baikal.

It ends in Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude, and goes straight to Khabarovsk (Kabbarovsk) via Chita. This is the shortest route from the Transcaucasus to the Far East, almost touching the border between Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Union.

.

The commander, General Paul Piliuski, was about to breathe a sigh of relief. The vanguard troops reported that the troops could not go any further. The road in front had been blocked by the squadron. The commander, comrade, was furious. At this critical point, the Chinese were still

Jumping out to cause trouble, he ordered without thinking: "Order the vanguard troops to pass by force. If they encounter obstacles, they will immediately defeat the Chinese army."

General Paul Piliuski's thought was simpler than eating tofu. How many squadrons could there be in this damn place? At most, the size of the regiment and battalion. His vanguard alone had 120,000 people, and there were two more behind him.

There are more than 130,000 people and thousands of squadron soldiers who want to stop them. They don't underestimate their own strength. They don't have time. Otherwise, they will be annihilated on the spot. Even trampling on them can kill the Chinese.

The order was issued. Twenty minutes later, no gunfire was heard in front. General Paul Piliuski was wondering when the chief of staff of the front army ran over with sweat on his face and whispered to him: "

Comrade Commander, what blocks our path is not a small number of squadrons, but judging from the size, there should be at least two corps and a large number of artillery."

General Paulpilewski was stunned, "Two armies, are you sure?" he asked, and the chief of staff nodded affirmatively. Comrade Commander thought nervously for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Then we will fight, the front army will be delayed.

We can't afford the time," he said fiercely. Even if he broke out a bloody road, he could not be blocked by tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers. The leader was a ruthless person and could not save Timoshenko's Second Far East Army. His own

The end will be disastrous.

The face of the chief of staff of the front army became more and more ugly, and he had no intention of conveying the order. General Paul Piliuski was furious. What time had it been? He was still hesitating. Now he was racing against time. Every second was important to him.

, are all very valuable, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and convey my order, order the Xiantian troops to gather all the tanks, break away from the squadron's position, and the artillery troops prepare for bombardment."

The chief of staff was marching with the vanguard troops. From the telescope, he personally saw the number of artillery pieces owned by Feng Jiwu's troops. Moreover, the Chinese ** troops were obviously well prepared. The position was probably dozens of kilometers deep. Once opened fire, a line of artillery would be fired.

If you keep attacking, you won't be able to get through in three to five days.

Also, the commander of the Chinese ** team can let go of the bridges along the way. Once the artillery fire is fired here, it is equivalent to blowing up all the bridges. Just repairing these bridges will take four or five days. How about going to the Far East?

Just wait for someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take the commander and yourself back to Moscow to have your head removed in a military court.

The Chief of Staff of the Transcaucasian Front did not advocate fighting. In this fight, no one could escape without a winner. However, the furious Comrade Commander ignored the Chief of Staff's hesitant look. He was focused on completing the tasks assigned by Stalin.

They had no idea how they could dare to stop more than 300,000 Soviet troops equipped with a large number of tanks with less than 50,000 to 60,000 troops. Without preparation, could the commander of the Chinese ** team put up this formation?

At this moment, a communications staff officer ran over in a hurry and said, "Report to the Chief of Staff, important information transferred from the Air Force reconnaissance plane." When the Chief of Staff opened it, his face turned pale and he was speechless.

Admiral Ski looked at the chief of staff's expression like a dead fish, and couldn't help but wonder, and snatched the telegram.

After reading the telegram, Comrade Commander threw himself on the hood of the car, his expression no better than that of the Chief of Staff. The telegram read: "The Transcaucasus Air Force Reconnaissance Group reported that a large number of these troops were found in the Ulan-Ude area.

, it is estimated that there are more than 100,000 people from four armies, building fortifications."

General Paul Piliuski was discouraged at that time, why did he still play ball? The Chinese were deliberately preventing them from passing. Counting the Chinese troops in front of them, the opponent already had nearly 200,000 troops.

In addition, he had prepared in advance. If he didn't seal this place for a month, he would be blind.

This matter was of great concern and he was afraid that he could not handle it. He ordered the chief of staff: "Immediately send a telegram to the General Staff. Our Transcaucasian Front troops, on their way to the Far East, stopped at Irkutsk, south of Lake Baikal."

In the area, we encountered a large-scale interception by a large-scale squadron. There has been no fighting yet. Please ask the General Staff for disposal orders."
