Under the command of Manturov, the Soviet troops achieved victory at the first stage of the Battle of Nomenkhan. At the cost of more than 300 casualties, 15 aircraft, and 4 armored vehicles, the www.biquge.info annihilated a Japanese cavalry wing and severely damaged the 64th Infantry Company and the 12th Flying Regiment of the Japanese Army.

The total casualties of the Japanese side reached more than 1,000, and they also lost 12 armored vehicles and 13 aircraft, which was the biggest defeat of the Kwantung Army since the 918 Incident.

But while the Soviet soldiers were immersed in the joy of victory, Manturov did not celebrate with them. He knew in his heart that the Japanese imperialist aggressors would not rest on their laurels.

According to his memories before the crossing, the Japanese would soon make a comeback and mobilize the main forces. The 23rd Division of the Japanese Army, which was originally deployed east of the Haraha River, had as many as 20,000 troops, and it was rich in combat experience and had a very high quality of individual combat.

However, on the other side, the Soviet troops deployed in Nomenkhand were only a few thousand men, and the soldiers lacked combat experience, and the commanders lacked practical command experience.

The last great victory was due to Manturov's prediction of the Japanese army's plan of action through historical memory, so he made such a perfect command, but if in the next battle, the Japanese army changed its combat strategy and did not act according to the historical trajectory that Manturov knew, then the golden finger of this traverser would not be used.

So what to do? The only way to ask the above is to remove the generals, to remove Fekarenko, who did not know how to fight and was still hiding behind 125 kilometers when the Japanese attacked, and replaced him with a better general to command.

For whom? Deputy Commander of the Belarusian Military District Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov Георгий_Константинович_жуков)

If you are familiar with the history of the Soviet Union, you will certainly not be unfamiliar with this name. He is considered one of the best generals in World War II and is the most recognizable general in the history of the Soviet Union.

The news of the victory soon reached Moscow, and in the office of the People's Commissar of Defense Voroshilov, when he received the news of the Nomenkhan front, he almost jumped for joy. This victory, which inflicted heavy damage on the enemy at less cost, was one of the best battles he had ever heard of in his life.

It's fun enough to win a battle, and the one who commanded the Soviet army to win the battle was actually his son-in-law Volodya (Manturov)! As a father-in-law, of course, he will not be unhappy.

He held a telegram from the front and admired the military wisdom of his son-in-law as he read the contents of the paper. I didn't expect that a well-mannered secretary of the state party committee, after becoming a military commissar, would actually take over military command from Fekarenko and fight a beautiful battle.

But at the same time, he also saw the incompetence of the army commander Fekarenko, such a lieutenant general, the dignified commander of the 57th Special Army, who actually stayed in the command post 125 kilometers away when the Japanese army attacked and did nothing, and never went to the front line, in terms of bravery, he was not even as good as a division-level political commissar.

In the last part of the message, Manturov requested that Zhukov, deputy commander of the Belarusian Military District, be transferred to replace the commander of the 57th Special Army, and reported on the seriousness of the current situation, as well as the "conjecture" that the Japanese army would increase its troops and make a comeback.

Voroshilov quickly agreed to Manturov's request, and after consulting with Stalin, he sent a summons to Zhukov to report to the People's Commissariat of Defense in Moscow as soon as possible.

In Tamchag Prague, Keiko Nakajima and Liu Er, the commander of the cavalry company of the puppet army, were taken to the interrogation room to be questioned by the Soviet army.

The person in charge of the interrogation was none other than Manturov, the military commissar of the 57th Special Army, who commanded the victory, and he personally planned the trap between the two.

Manturov crossed Erlang's legs, looked at Liu Er, the commander of the puppet Manchurian cavalry company, with contempt, and said in fluent, but with a Russian accent: "What's your name?" ”

As soon as he saw Manturov's uniform, Liu Er knew that this person was not small. Manturov, who was accustomed to wearing a suit and was polite, still did not lose his majesty after putting on the military uniform, and his whole body still exuded a commander-in-chief temperament, which was daunting.

In the bodies of other Soviet officers, Liu Er did not see this breath, but in the "translator" who could speak Chinese in front of him, he felt the majesty of the commander-in-chief.

"I ...... It's called Liu Er...... It's the Imperial Army...... No! The commander of the cavalry company of the puppet army. I still have an octogenarian mother in my hometown, and I still have two children to raise at home, please be merciful to me, sir, and let me go! ”

Of course, Manturov will not let this traitor go easily, in his opinion, a traitor like Liu Er, who betrays the country and seeks glory, is even more hateful than the Japanese army that invaded our country.

He has watched the anti-Japanese drama before the crossing, and he has seen countless scenes when the puppet army was captured, which one of them does not say that he has an octogenarian mother at home, and there are wives and children waiting to be taken care of? After their release, these people did not return home to take care of their wives and children, but returned to the "embrace" of Japanese imperialism and continued to "maintain the common prosperity of Greater East Asia."

"Brother, do you think I'm going to believe your nonsense? Even if what you say is true, so what? There is a saying in China that the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change, and when you go back, won't you pick up a gun and continue to be a lackey of the Japanese? ”

"No, sir, I was forced to join the Imperial Association...... Puppet army, in fact, I just want to be an ordinary person in peace, if you let me go, I won't serve the Japanese anymore. ”

"Why should I trust you? Your family is in the hands of the Japanese, and after you are let go, you will still be a lackey for the Japanese. ”

Obviously, in front of Manturov, the family card did not work at all. In front of Manturov, Liu Er couldn't find a strong excuse at all.

He looked at the red star on Manturov's military hat and thought of another excuse. "Sir, no, comrade, in fact, I am a spy sent by the Communist Party to lurk in the Imperial Army, no, the puppet army."

At this time, Manturov sat up straight, carefully looked at the so-called "comrade" in front of him, and said tentatively: "You say you are a communist? So who is your superior? Who is responsible for contacting you? What are your specific tasks? What is the code name? ”

However, Manturov's tentative questions didn't show Liu Er's feet. The cunning traitor quickly thought of a good answer: "Comrade, these are classified and I cannot say them without instructions from my superiors." ”

Liu Er's answer almost made Manturov lose his breakthrough point, and he almost didn't know how to question him. But he is a dignified military commissar of the army group, or a member of the Central Committee of the CPSU, how can he be stumped?

Manturov quickly launched a second round of temptations: "Okay, these are secrets, I won't ask about them. Since you say you are a communist, can you tell us what communism is? ”

How could Liu Er, an out-and-out traitor and reactionary, know what communism is? Although he didn't understand, he still pretended to understand and replied, "She...... Communism is to build a society of co-prosperity, where tenant farmers and landlords can prosper together, and workers and bosses can prosper together. ”

After hearing Liu Er's answer, Manturov couldn't help but laugh. "Co-prosperity? I think you are an out-and-out traitor, you only have co-prosperity in your mind, and you just want to help Japanese imperialism build their Greater East Asia co-prosperity sphere.

Communism advocates the abolition of private ownership of the means of production and the establishment of a society without a class system, without exploitation, without oppression, and for the self-emancipation of human beings.

Since there is no exploitation, there will be no landlords, let alone a situation in which the landlords and peasants prosper together. What else do you have to say? I think you're an out-and-out traitor. ”

"Spare my life, sir, I was forced to join the puppet army. If I had been given a chance, I would definitely join the Eighth Route Army to fight against Japan. ”

"Anatoly." Manturov shouted to the guards outside the door, "Take this puppet army to a special prisoner detention center and keep it in a special prison detention center, and send two soldiers to guard it strictly." ”

"Yes!"
