"Let's mobilize no less than two divisions to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese army in response to Lao Maozi's Battle of Nomenkan?" In the war conference room, Huang Weiguo and the others listened to the telegram read out by Zhou Yusheng, and their faces were shocked.

"Aren't those people up there crazy, Lao Maozi and the Japanese are fighting to death that is their business, why do we want to join in that fun?" Li Wei also complained with a face, he was busy with the expansion of the army these days, and now that the training and expansion of the army was only half completed, he was naturally not happy when he heard that he was going to fight.

Zhang Danian sat on the chair and smoked a cigarette without saying a word, until a cigarette reached the butt of the cigarette, and then he said angrily: "Military seat, now my expansion work has only completed a small half, let alone pulling out a division, it is enough for a brigade." ”

Su Jin rubbed his eyes helplessly, Zhang Danian didn't lie, his 349th Division was expanded from the supplementary brigade, no matter what aspect it was, it also belonged to the 202nd Army with the thinnest foundation and the worst combat effectiveness, and it was also the most difficult to complete the expansion.

In the end, the ****** sitting at the back asked Zhou Yusheng: "Chief of Staff, what is the matter with us in the battle of Nomenkan, why do you want us to fight so desperately?" ”

Zhou Yusheng also smiled helplessly: "What else, Lao Maozi promised to support our three hundred fighters and ten infantry divisions in a few days, so this time he will be so active." ”

Li Wei asked Su Jin: "Junzuo, where is this place in Nuomenkan, why do the Japanese want to tease Lao Maozi when they are full of food and have nothing to do?" ”

Su Jin thought for a while and explained: "Let me tell you this, this Nomenkan is located at the junction of our Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia. The Japanese Kwantung Army wanted to try their catties with Lao Maozi, so they launched a sneak attack on them a few days ago. And Lao Maozi has been peaceful for a long time, and there is not even a commander who oversees the overall situation. As a result, they were beaten at the beginning and suffered a big loss, but Lao Maozi did not give it in vain, and now they sent a cow man to command the battle, and now they are fighting lively, but I estimate that the Japanese will suffer a big loss this time. ”

"Junza, who is that cowman? Is it really that powerful? Li Wei asked curiously.

"Of course that's amazing, his name is Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov." Su Jin said leisurely. As he spoke, he fell into the memory.

In another time and place, the Battle of Nomenkan began unfamiliar, and both the Soviet and Japanese state media kept the battle secret. In China, the official propaganda was carried out, claiming that in the Battle of Bombing, Zhukov led tens of thousands of Soviet troops not only to annihilate the only tank division that can be called a Japanese national treasure, but also to annihilate 60,000 Japanese troops at the cost of only 6,000 people, breaking the idea of the Japanese army going north. Forcing it to move south.........

At first glance, this result can be shocking. Then there will be a kind of admiration for Zhukov and the Soviet army, but is this really the case?

When Su Jin of later generations saw this period of history, he also admired Lao Maozi's combat effectiveness, but as he learned about things, the more doubts he had in his heart. You must know that the Soviet Union during this period was the most intense time of the Great Purge, and almost all the commanders at all levels of the entire army were replaced, and the combat effectiveness of the troops could be said to be less than 30% of the previous ones, and if it was like this, it could still beat the Japanese Kwantung Army into a 10-to-1 battle, as if the Soviet Army would annihilate 60,000 Japanese troops with a casual wave of its hand, and it would be easier and more enjoyable than eating. Compared with. The performance of the Chinese army on the battlefield during the same period was very poor, and often more than ten divisions could not defeat one division of the Japanese army. According to this statement, wouldn't the Soviets only need more than 100,000 people to occupy the whole of China? Isn't that a joke.

Later, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian side has released a large number of archives from the war period, and Japan-related materials can also be found in China. After reading it, Su Jin gradually understood that the Battle of Nomenkan was not so simple. Overall, the battle had a profound impact on both the warring Soviet Union and Japan.

In fact, the Japanese were indeed beaten quite badly in this battle, the newly formed 23rd Division was almost completely annihilated, and the 2nd Division was also beaten with heavy casualties, as well as the loss of more than 300 fighters and hundreds of combat vehicles.

But the Soviets were not all without a price, and the victory was won at the cost of more than 20,000 casualties, 207 warplanes and more than 30,000 tons of artillery shells.

Since 1940, the Soviet Union has been deploying nearly 500,000 elite troops in the Far East, and even during the most critical Soviet-German war, Stalin never drew a single soldier from the Far East.

And Japan is the same, before the Battle of Nomenkan, the Kwantung Army only had five divisions in the northeast with more than 100,000 troops, and after the Battle of Nomenkan, it went crazy and desperately strengthened the military strength of Manchuria, and finally turned the Kwantung Army into a behemoth with more than 700,000 troops, and this also seriously affected the Japanese offensive strategy in Guannai.

Seeing Su Jin sitting in his seat and silent, the people present didn't dare to disturb, but then seeing that Su Jin was still in a daze, Zhou Yusheng, as the chief of staff, had to remind softly: "Military seat...... Military Seat ......"

Su Jin came back to his senses and blurted out: "Oh...... What's up? ”

"You ......" Seeing Su Jin's ignorant look, Zhou Yusheng couldn't help crying and laughing, so he could only say softly: "Military seat, let us send no less than two divisions to attack the Japanese army, but we are not ready at all, what should we do, you can give a word!" ”

"This one!" Su Jin thought for a while before saying: "Actually, this time it's just a show, it will definitely not be so serious, and you will draft a telegram later, just say that the expansion of our troops has not yet been completed, and we can only try our best to draw a division of troops to launch an attack on Taihu Lake and Qianshan, and try to contain the Japanese troops, and the rest will be powerless." ”

Li Wei, who was on the side, was surprised when he heard this: "Ah...... Commander, we really have to wade into this troubled water! ”

Everyone was puzzled by Su Jin's decision, although the size of the army has been expanded now, but after all, the expansion has not been completed, is it really appropriate to attack in such a hurry?

Looking at everyone's puzzled looks, Su Jin chuckled and said: "You don't have to be so surprised, although we haven't completed the expansion, but don't forget, the Japanese are also not ready, we just fought with the Japanese two months ago, and they definitely didn't expect that we would really find trouble with them again soon, so we only need to recover a few cities in this battle to explain to the top, do you say this is the reason." ”

"Well, that's true." Everyone thought about it, and Su Jin's words made sense, but then Li Wei asked again: "Junzuo, who are you going to send?" ”

Su Jin said without thinking: "This time, I think I will let Wei Guo go with the 347th Division." ”

Su Jin's words had an unquestionable taste, and everyone nodded slowly after thinking about it. Huang Weiguo's 347th Division is the oldest unit in the 202nd Army, with the most complete allocation of veterans and officers, and it is also the first unit to complete the expansion.

Hearing Su Jin call his name, Huang Weiguo didn't have any extra words, he just took it up and said loudly: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

Seeing Huang Weiguo taking on the task so refreshingly, Su Jin nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "Weiguo, do you need any support from the army this time?" ”

Huang Weiguo thought for a while, "Military seat, due to the dense water network in Taihu Lake and Anqing, it is not suitable for the armored troops, so the department hopes that the flight team can provide full support, and the department has no other requirements." ”

"You're smart, knowing that the current armored regiment is also resting and can't provide support, so you hit the head of the flying group!" Su Jin couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I agreed to your request, but this time the city is secondary, and the most important thing is to kill and injure more of the Japanese army's living forces." You have to remember that the dead Japanese are the good Japanese! When he said this, there was a strong killing intent in the eyes of the Japanese army......

Our Chief Su has murderous intentions again this time, yes, because he found that after another round of expansion, recuperation, and replenishment of equipment, the energy points are like flowing water, and the energy points are about to bottom out again.

Originally, at the end of the Jiujiang Campaign, Su Jin had already saved seventy or eighty thousand energy points, but after the expansion of the troops, tens of thousands of mouths were added at once, and military uniforms and weapons were added to these people, plus the flight group needed to add new fighters, and the armored regiment needed to replenish tanks and armored vehicles. So even if the boss doesn't send a mission down, this guy will find an excuse to start a war with the Japanese again in the next few days, after all, for him, the earth is big, and the power point is the greatest.

After the matter was settled, Huang Weiguo and nearly 20,000 horses of the 347th Division were busy, and by 18 July, the 347th Division had all gone out to a place less than 50 kilometers away from Taihu Lake.

At 10:30 a.m. on July 19, the war room of the 11th Army Headquarters in Wuhan was still busy, and although the Battle of Zaoyi had ended at this time, the Japanese army's operational purpose had obviously not been achieved, so neither Sonobe Kazuichiro nor the staff officers were in a very good mood.

Suddenly, a staff officer pushed open the door of Sonobe and Ichiro's office, and shouted with a pale face: "Your Excellency, Commander, it's not good, the 202nd Army of China launched a surprise attack on Taihu Lake half an hour ago......" (To be continued. )
