Behind Tukhachevsky, the Soviets were sending him a powerful back-up force: under the command of the deputy head of the Air Force Yakov Vladimirovich Smushkevich, a steady stream of bombers and fighters were transferred to the field airfields of Tamchagbulak, Matad, Sambes and other places in Mongolia. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoMore than half of the fighters were new rags and Jacques, and the pilots were even more talented, 48 of whom had fought in the Spanish Civil War.

Yakov's decision to go out this time was a temporary decision, because the original Air Force Commander-in-Chief Deputy People's Commissar of Defense Andrei was still unknown in his life, and the "No. 3 man" of the Soviet Air Force was replaced (the first was of course Lin Jun, who held the rank of Air Force, and the second was Arksness, who was renamed the director of the Air Force. ）。

Since Zhukov's fate is also unknown, the support armored group consisting of the 6th Tank Brigade, the 11th Tank Brigade, and the 7th, 8th, and 9th Armored Automobile Brigades also needs a suitable coordinating commander to assist Tukhachevsky, a tank warfare expert, and Moscow sent Dmitry Grigorievich Pavlov, who had just become the head of the armored tank department of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, to lead the armored group.

Subsequently, there are 4 mechanized divisions that are riding the starry night of the army column to help, these are some full-strength divisions equipped with PPS39 submachine guns, and there are separate tank regiments, but they are equipped with second-rate BT-7 and T26. There were 65,000 troops in four fully manned divisions plus logistics troops, and once they reached the deployment position, Tukhachevsky would have enough strength in his hands to put down the banner.

Voroshinov, although he had some bitterness about Tukhachevsky, did not cause trouble in the current situation, and the interests of the Soviets came first. Moscow has given stronger support in artillery than aviation, armored forces and infantry, fifteen artillery regiments are already on the way, and Tukhachevsky will command the artillery units with the Red Army artillery chief Nikolai Nikolayevich Voronov and the "Tsaritsyn artillery king", Deputy People's Commissar of Defense, head of the General Ordnance Department of the Red Army Grigry Ivanovich Kulik.

Not counting the strong strength of the support troops, a "deputy minister of defense", "commander of artillery", "commander of armored forces", and a "deputy commander of the air force" are already extremely luxurious, and they cannot be compared with the small Japan on the other side. Moscow must win this battle, and this level of attention is not comparable to that of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters -- the emperor did not dare to send his "commanders" so close to the battlefield even if he was killed, and little Japan lost another trick in this attempt to take revenge.

For the sake of unity of command, Moscow again sent a telegram to Tamchagbulak: all personnel are to be transferred by Tukhachevsky, and the commander-in-chief of the campaign has the supreme decision.

Stalin, who was anxious, once again reaffirmed Tukhachevsky's right to avoid a failure of command, which was not only from military considerations, but also from the original suggestion of Lin Jun, whose life and death were unknown, may be the biggest reason: Stalin was already ready to lose this "son" in his heart, and this time it was subconsciously to let little Andrei's military talent shine with the help of others' hands for the last time.

First of all, regardless of whether Lin Jun was alive or well, Stalin's consideration was still a little too much: to lend a few bear-hearted leopard galls to those commanders did not dare not listen to Tukhachevsky! The return of the "God of War" shows that Stalin has to reuse him, and his former prestige is beyond the reach of the current Deputy People's Commissar of Defense.

、、、、、、

Among the support units were a few seemingly inconspicuous, not as imposing as the tank units lined up in the ranks, not as aggressive as the artillerymen, and some of them even seemed very mysterious.

It is not surprising that there is a whole army of engineers, they are needed anywhere on the battlefield, but these engineers are different from the ordinary, most of the equipment loaded with trucks turned out to be well drilling equipment, and there are some people wearing military uniforms but no military rank mixed in, looking not soldiers. It is estimated that a lot of this equipment was temporarily requisitioned from the local area, and those people should be comrades of the local engineering team.

The other column was even more mysterious, as a large number of personnel of the troops directly under the Ministry of Internal Affairs stood guard when they boarded the train from Novosibirsk, and the station was completely blocked, and those soldiers only talked to their own people. All the equipment for loading the trucks was tightly covered, and the people in charge of carrying it were also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the general garrison troops were not allowed to approach at all.

The conflict zone is semi-arid grassland terrain and some sparsely planted sand dunes, where the weather temperature is already a bit high from late May onwards, and people can freeze to death at night. The area with a width of 70 kilometers on the front of the battlefield is basically along the Haraha River, and there is also a Bell Lake on the border line nearby, but the Soviet army cannot use the river and lake water - originally this water has been purified and can be drunk, but the front-line troops have insufficient water purification equipment and medicines, and can only be used as a drinking water source for military horses. Now it is even more difficult to drink the surface water here, and this is the order given by Lin Jun before leaving.

The little devils will do tricks on the water source when they are in a hurry, and this is what they have done in the history of the Haraha River - not only by throwing a large number of animal carcasses into the upper reaches of the river to deliberately pollute the water source, but also by using bacteriological warfare troops!

It is not surprising that Lin Jun heard his father say when he was a child that in the self-defense and counterattack war against Vietnam, the Vietnamese poisoned the water source, and if they drank it from the crystal clear stream, they would kill people, resulting in our troops often running out of water in tropical jungle areas where water shortage is basically impossible, and any water source needs to be tested by the health and chemical defense troops before it can be drunk.

It was absolutely impossible to fight in arid areas without water, so Lin Jun asked the troops close to Mongolia to send engineering troops to support them -- the troops were not equipped to dig deep wells, so they would provide support from the local area, and local engineers and workers would operate these specialized equipment, and strive to ensure that the front-line troops would not suffer from water shortages.

The biggest headache for Lin Jun is the bacteriological army of the devil, which is not good enough to have a large number of casualties, so there is that mysterious army. There are a certain number of epidemic prevention departments in the troops, but if the Japanese army really starts bacteriological warfare (historically they really did. Relying on the lack of strength of the original anti-epidemic personnel, Lin Jun decided to send his own secret troops after consulting with Stalin - you have bacteriological warfare troops, Lao Tzu also has them!

But Lin Jun didn't have the idea of fighting bacteriological warfare on his own, which disgusted him more than using chemical weapons, chemical weapons kill people, and bacteriological weapons will cause harm for a long time. If the little devil dares to use chemical weapons, Lin Jun doesn't mind letting the devil taste the mustard gas cannonball! In World War II, chemical weapons were basically not used in the European theater, because in the end, everyone had chemical weapons that could destroy each other, and everyone stored a large number of chemical shells and aerial bombs in the rear of the battle line, but they were afraid to use them.

But the mysterious unit did not carry bacteriological weapons, all the equipment was prepared to prevent the Japanese army from launching bacteriological warfare, there were a large number of detection instruments and therapeutic drugs, so that the secret weapon of little Japan could not play its role, and it could be saved as a bargaining chip for future negotiations.

Stalin knew that Ai knew more about the shameless people of the Eastern Sea than he did, and he also knew from the reports that Lin Jun had used bacteriological and chemical weapons in China, which made him agree to Lin Jun's suggestion to send secret troops.

"Will the Japanese army dare to launch chemical warfare?"

Before the trip, Stalin asked Lin Jun to ask him.

"Their level of chemical warfare is still in their infancy, and if the Japanese dare to use them, I will drop all our No. 8 bombs on Japan's big cities to completely solve the problems of the East. Our Far East can withstand old-fashioned chemical strikes, we can deal with their phosgene mustard gas, and that little part of Little Japan can go back to the Stone Age with just a few hundred tons of No. 8 bombs! ”

The No. 8 bomb is the code for the latest secret chemical bomb, and it contains the top-secret No. 8 nerve agent: the year before last, chemical experts accidentally made a highly volatile chemical liquid product during the experiment, and the volatilization of a little liquid less than the tip of the needle can kill dozens of people. Because I felt that it had the potential to become a powerful nerve gas, I continued to study it, and last year, I put it into small-scale production under the intervention of Lin Jun, who learned about this time, as the last trump card in case of emergency.

Last year, Lin Jun had an in-depth understanding of the top-secret No. 8 nerve agent document submitted to the Ministry of Equipment, but he didn't expect that this was the same as the sarin poison in his memory, and it seems that the Soviet chemical experts were inadvertently ahead of the Germans: although they don't know what the production and chemical properties of sarin are, they are the same colorless and odorless (of course, it is not to be smelled by humans, and even the dogs used in the experiment did not react abnormally before the symptoms of poisoning appeared. ), the same lethality is huge.

At that time, Lin Jun's reply made Stalin feel a little chill behind his back: this guy is more ruthless than himself, and he doesn't consider the casualties of the enemy's civilians and international law at all, if he really throws hundreds of tons of No. 8 bombs to Japan, then Japan will at least reimburse more than 50 million civilians, and it is not an exaggeration to return to the Stone Age. As long as a few DB-3s carrying No. 8 bombs enter the sky over Tokyo, then the capital of the Japanese is a no-man's land, and this No. 8 poison is simply a gift from Satan!

"As long as the propaganda is done well, those democracies will not even dare to let out a fart, and this will be even more, and no one will dare to mess with countries with such weapons of mass destruction. Those are the masters who eat soft and fear hard, and besides, countries that shout democracy all day long do not dare to gamble with their own lives to stand out for others, at most they roar twice. If they use it first, we have the right to fight back, and it is only natural for us to fight back in self-defense, and everyone did this during the First World War, but I want to see if the Japanese dare to use chemical weapons. ”

"In the future Andrei will be an iron-fisted politician, and in the future the Soviets will definitely be even stronger under his leadership!" Although he did not completely agree with the thinking of Aijiang, Stalin, who had always liked power, still admired Aijun's iron-fisted style.

The 23rd Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army, which is now confronting the Red Army, has been confirmed by the bodies of the Japanese killed and the captured documents. As a type B division formed on the mainland only last year, the strength of the 23rd Division is not as strong as that of the standing division, but it also has more than 18,000 soldiers, but its strength is its weakness.

Obviously, it was not enough to use only one division to confront the Soviet-Mongolian army, and the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya, assigned a cavalry division and a large number of border troops to the Manchu and Mongolian troops near the 23rd Division, and these Manchu and Mongolian troops were basically controlled by Japanese officers, but most of the soldiers were ethnic Mongols and did not want to go to war with the Mongolian army of the same nationality.

Several encounters in the previous week gave the commander of the 23rd Division, Michitaro Komatsubara, a taste of steel artillery, and his cavalry wing commander Higashi 800 Kurakasa was broken on the east bank of the Haraha River, and he also lost more than 800 people at one time.

The combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army on the opposite side can only be said to be average, but the Mongolian army is almost all cavalry, once the Soviet artillery and tanks open the breakthrough, the Mongolian cavalry that swept like the wind against their infantry on the grassland is like chopping melons and vegetables, which makes Komatsu very nerve-wracking.

Four days ago, Dong 800 Zang led a special detachment to successfully raid the headquarters of the Sixth Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Army, killing the division commander Sha Ribu, and he also forwarded this good news to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, which was commended by the commander.

But before Dongba Baizang could gain a firm foothold on the east bank, the Soviet armored cars and tanks rushed up all over the mountains, and the Mongolian cavalry that had been dispersed by the ovary also made a comeback, and in less than half a day, 800 people were gone, and only 12 soldiers fled back to report the news!

Originally, after destroying the headquarters of the 6th Cavalry Division of the Mongolian Army, there would be the support of the 8th Regiment of the Xin'an North Garrison Army (Manchu and Mongolian Army), and the regiment commander Lieutenant Colonel Sodnam and his 300 cavalry would cut off the retreat of the Mongolian cavalry.

But it seemed that the 8th Regiment was marching slower than the two-legged infantry, and finally arrived at the predetermined place, and black smoke rose from a distant hill, and the regimental commander Sodnam thought that the troops of the East 800 Zang had succeeded, so he thought of riding his horse and trotting to the mouth of the river to intercept the rout. Unexpectedly, before he ran a few miles, he saw dozens of armored vehicles leading up, and there was at least one regiment of Mongolian cavalry behind.

"There's no way to fight this battle." Sodnam yelled, "Withdraw!" "Only now did the cavalry regiment exert the speed that the cavalry on the steppe should have!

"So much! Let you Japanese go and fight! "Sodenam has found an escape interface for himself: this is the Japanese army's inaccurate intelligence, and he can't complain about himself, even if he can bring the men and horses back, even if he has an explanation, at least he "escapes safely" in front of the superior enemy.

The Eighth Regiment had no Japanese officers, all of them were Mongols, and there were no Japanese troops behind them to supervise the formation, so they didn't want their own people to fight their own people at all. And although Sodnam is not a righteous person, his former chief of staff of the headquarters was shot by the Japanese, and he has a grudge against small Japan, so of course such a force supports slower than others, and the retreat is super fast!

Komatsu was counting on such a cavalry, but he was blind. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
