After a day's stay in Tamchag Prague, Voroshilov, Pavlov and others were to leave Tamchag Prague. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

First, they all had a sufficient understanding of the situation on the front line and achieved the purpose of the inspection.

Second, the Japanese army had already deployed long-range heavy artillery units, and the front line of the Haraha River could be exposed to the range of devil artillery at any time, which was very dangerous, so there was no further inspection.

Katya, who arrived with Voroshilov, wanted to stay and spend time with her husband, but she still had a lot of work to do, and she didn't have a deputy like Chernenko.

Most importantly, she didn't want to be like her husband, whose original white skin was semi-tanned and her originally smooth skin became dry.

In order to be able to complete the work at hand as soon as possible and protect her skin at the same time, Katya had to follow her father and leave the battlefield in a Li-2 passenger plane of the Soviet Air Force.

Although she had only been there for a short day, she had at least learned about her husband's situation and knew what he was thinking. Most importantly, the two of them spent the night in passion and met each other's needs.

July 16, 1939, Normenheim, Japanese headquarters.

"Bell bell bell! Bell bell bell! In Komatsubara's headquarters, a hurried phone rang.

"It's me." Komatsubara took the phone with one hand and held his head with the other, which had been hurting for a few days.

"Komatsubara-kun, how's the battle going now?" On the phone, a familiar voice sounded. This is Michitaro Komatsubara's boss, Kenkichi Ueda, commander of the Kwantung Army.

"Ueda-kun, now, our army is undergoing strategic rectification, and we have also sent Russian troops to step up reconnaissance work on the nearby terrain and the deployment of enemy troops.

In addition, our army is also stepping up the construction of new fortifications, and the artillery units are ready to launch artillery strikes on the Soviet troops on the opposite bank. Michitaro Komatsubara said cautiously.

"Yo Si! Then can you guarantee the elimination of the Soviet troops in Hala and the region? As the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Kenkichi Ueda certainly did not want to see the result of the defeat of the Japanese army. Since he had already sent troops, if the Japanese army could not win, he would not be able to keep his position as commander of the Kwantung Army, and he would lose face for himself and the whole of Japan, so what he needed was a 100 percent chance of victory.

"Yes." After losing three games in a row, Komatsubara still firmly believes in the myth of the invincibility of their small Japanese imperial army, "However, the Soviet army has recently sent a lot of reinforcements to the front line of the Haraha River, and it would be better if Ueda-kun could send more troops over." Otherwise, we need to pay more for the victory and we need more time to rest. ”

Komatsubara was right, the Soviet army did have a large number of reinforcements during that time. After the expansion, the First Army, with a total strength of 100,000 troops, has three divisions and ten brigades, although half of them are reserve troops, and only about 57,000 people will be put into battle, but it definitely has the ability to counterattack and destroy the Japanese army.

The total strength of the Japanese invading army was only 60,000, of which only 40,000 could be put into battle, which was pitifully small compared to the Soviet army.

"Komatsubara-kun," Ueda Kenkichi was still not very reassured, "I have already transferred 10,000 men from the 2nd Division, 9,800 from the 4th Division, 8,000 from the 7th Division, and the main force of the anti-aircraft artillery unit and the border garrison are also advancing towards Nomenkan to reinforce you."

The 5th Division (stationed in Qingdao), the 14th Division (stationed in Kaifeng, Xinxiang, Henan), the 9th and 10th Wings of Field Heavy Artillery, 9 squadrons of rapid-fire artillery, 16 field antiaircraft artillery squadrons, 1 flying squadron, and 22 automobile squadrons are also advancing at full speed towards Manchuria to strengthen the strength of our army in Manchuria and use it as a reserve. ”

After three consecutive defeats, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Kenkichi Ueda, had already made up his mind to send a large army to engage the Soviet army, and did not hesitate to mobilize troops from the Chinese battlefield, but this battle, and these transfers, were not approved by Tokyo.

Manturov changed history by reversing the Soviet army's defeat in the early stages of the Battle of Nomenkhan, winning three battles and three victories, but attracting the attention of the Japanese Kwantung Army to this battle.

Since the commander of the Kwantung Army, Kenkichi Ueda, has already made the decision to send troops, he must defeat the Soviet army no matter what, otherwise, he will take the blame and resign.

In order to retain his position as commander of the Kwantung Army, Ueda Kenkichi must defeat the Soviet army and occupy the Nomenhan region. To increase the chances of victory, it is necessary to send heavy troops, gather superior forces, launch a fierce counteroffensive against the Soviet army, and drive Maozi out of the Mongolian steppe.

"Ueda-kun, now that so many divisions and regiments are participating in the war, who should be under unified command?"

"Komatsubara-kun, in the previous battle, your performance was very bad! With so many divisions and regiments, how can I rest assured that they will be under your command? Ueda Kenkichi reprimanded.

"And who's in command?"

"When the troops arrive, we will form the Sixth Army, under the command of Lieutenant General Ogishu. At that time, you will be the commander of one of his divisions, and you will follow his orders. ”

"Yes!"

Hearing the news of the Kwantung Army's massive increase in troops, Michitaro Komatsubara put down a heavy boulder in his heart. Until then, he had been worried about the lack of troops.

Now, the Japanese army will mobilize heavy troops, send four more divisions to the front, plus the original 7th and 23rd divisions, the total strength of the army will reach 100,000.

Now, the little devil has enough strength to engage the Soviet army. At least in terms of troops, the two armies were tied, with 100,000 troops on both sides about to start a big battle.

This is a great war between the two great powers of the East and the West, a great war between a socialist country and a new type of imperialist country, a duel between justice and evil, a showdown between socialism and fascism and imperialism!

News of Japan's troop build-up soon reached the Soviet army, thanks to Manturov's good intelligence system and the revolutionary and internationalist friendship between the Red Party of China and the Soviet Union.

……………………………………………………………………

18 July, Tamchag, Prague, Mongolian People's Republic.

"Report to Comrade Commander and Comrade Military Commissar, there is intelligence that four divisions of the Japanese army are heading to the front line."

Zhukov thought for a moment and said: "Four divisions? Which four? ”

"They are the second, fourth, fifth, and fourteenth divisions, and the total reinforcements are estimated to reach more than 70,000." The informant reported truthfully.

At this time, the most apprehensive person was our protagonist, Manturov, the military commissar of the First Army of the Soviet Union. Prior to that, although he had won three good battles, all of them had been won with superior forces.

But this time, the Japanese army will mobilize heavy troops, and there will be more than 100,000 people in total, more than double the number in history.

Next, Manturov will face a big, life-and-death dilemma.

History has gone in a different direction, and Manturov, as a traverser, really has to rely on his personal wisdom to face the army of Japanese invaders this time. His task is not as simple as winning, if this is the case, he does not need to worry at all, anyway, with Zhukov in charge, there is a steady supply of resources and troops in the rear.

His task was to reduce Soviet casualties and gain a greater victory at the cost of fewer casualties.
