Xue Rui put away the headphones, translated the telegram she received, and handed it to Xiaolu. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the telegram was written in code, after being deciphered, Koji recognized that he was going to leak the information to the Kwantung Army at that time. The post department is too dedicated. The next step is to see if Masanobu Tsuji is still stubborn and dedicated.

Xue Rui said: "Your plan is too big, can it succeed?" ”

Xiaolu said: "Only by transferring the Japanese army as much as possible, leaving the hinterland of the northeast, and transferring it to the front line, so that we can have more space." He said to the guards outside: "Go and inform Zhang Yongxing to come to me for a meeting." ”

Xue Rui said: "Is it appropriate to use the Soviet Union to weaken Japan?" ”

Xiaolu said: "You're a little hard to accept, aren't you?" ”

Xue Rui said: "I'm very conflicted. ”

Xiaolu said: "This is for the interests of China, and it is a last resort. In the past, Tsarist Russia did more than China, and the crimes committed should be borne by the Soviet Union and corrected. The former leader of the Soviet Union, Ulyanov, promised to return to China the territories occupied by Tsarist Russia in the Far East, but Stalin did not mention this topic at all. ”

Xue Rui said: "Where did you see Ulyanov's words?" ”

Xiaolu said: "This is not my nonsense. Not only did he not mention the returned stubble, but he also cleansed the Chinese in the Far East, designated Vladivostok as a forbidden area, and strictly restricted the movement of the Chinese. He also knew that occupying China's land was unreasonable and weak-minded. ”

Xue Rui said: "Do you have any thoughts about Tsarist Russia's occupation of China's land?" I've heard the elders talk about it. ”

Xiaolu said: "Yes, I have an idea. I want to use the trade-offs of World War II to greatly weaken the Soviet Union, weaken Japan, and weaken the United States. At the same time, we must take all measures to become stronger, and at that time, we will not only acquire the lands of the Soviet Far East, but also the interests of northern Japan, the northern part of Indochina, the interests of Taiwan, the interests of the Ryukyus, and the interests of northern India. ”

Xue Rui said: "You." You're thinking too much. Can it be achieved? ”

Xiaolu said: "If we talk today, you must not tell anyone. Including the superiors in Yan'an. This battle of Nomenkan was just an experiment, a turning point in our take-off. At the moment, we are much stronger, higher than I expected. This trial was successful, and it will be easy to do in the future. The way to calculate these powers is to use the two wicked men of Japan and Germany to consume them. Use these few powers to consume Japan and Germany. ”

At this time, Zhang Yongxing arrived.

Xiao Lu introduced the telegram and said, "Close the net and arrest him." ”

Zhang Yongxing also took out a telegram and said, "We have also deciphered it." It seems to have been analyzed: "We hope that the information he passed on has been passed out." The arrest of him makes it even more true that this information is true. Okay, agree to catch Taro Okabe. ”

Xiao Lu looked at Zhang Yongxing and smiled: "After catching him, be polite." He's done a lot for us. For him, the main thing is to improve his ideological understanding. ”

This information was also received by the General Staff Headquarters of the Kwantung Army Command.

After receiving this piece of information, after studying it, and sending a reconnaissance plane to reconnoiter and confirm the contents, the Kwantung Army was very shocked. It turned out that the transport force of the Soviet army was so large. Several times more than the Japanese army.

The staff officers immediately began to calculate that such a powerful transportation force would be able to transport the materials of a campaign to the front line in just over three weeks.

Based on the accuracy of the previous Okabe information, the Kwantung Army General Staff Headquarters confirmed this accuracy, and the Japanese General Staff Headquarters also confirmed this information and approved the preparation of the Left Campaign in accordance with this information.

Because there are two words in the intelligence: need.

The numbers are all for the supplies that the Soviet side needs. That is, they have not yet completed the transport. This is also illustrated by the reduction in the number of air strikes by the Soviet troops, who are short of supplies and are transporting them.

Opportunity. Now is the opportunity.

The telegram was transmitted to the front along with the results of the judgment, ordering them to prepare in advance. At the same time, the Kwantung Army accelerated the transfer of the 2nd and 4th divisions.

Almost all aircraft were intensively dispatched to bomb the supply lines of the Soviet army.

August 8, 1939. Yichun.

The Mongolian column reported that in the past two days, there were almost no trains on the railway transporting troops, and there were not so many trains. The trains that go to Hailar are all carrying baggage. The large-scale transfer is over.

Since there were fewer railway raids these days, the Japanese army relaxed its protection of the railway.

The small road ordered the Mongol columns: 1, to move, to dismantle the railway, to delay the enemy's transport. It is better to intercept the retreating Japanese tank units.

Ordered Wang Santai's special operations brigade: Use rumors to drive the people away from the towns on the west side of the Daxing'an Mountains, especially the villages near Hailar, and run as far as they want.

Specifically, you can send people into all the towns such as Hailar, Yakeshi, Arshan, etc., and spread rumors that the Soviet troops are coming over, and the Japanese army will slaughter the city before retreating, and the people must flee to save their lives, and they will not come back for a winter. In addition, it is also possible to spread rumors: before the Japanese army retreats, they will spread the plague in large towns, and they will not return for a winter.

After issuing the order, Xiaolu took his own guards, rode in a car, and drove at full speed to the front line of Nomenkan. He was to arrive at the battlefield before the decisive battle.

August 19, 1939. The Nomenkan front. Soviet-Mongolian Command.

Zhukov is extremely nervous these days.

Like the path laid out in Yichun, he is also laying out, laying out for a big counteroffensive.

First, he used the four weeks to transport supplies and troops. By the first two days, the supplies were enough to fight a campaign.

The Soviet-Mongolian army concentrated 57,000 troops, 498 tanks, 385 armored vehicles, 542 artillery and mortars, 2,255 machine guns, and 515 aircraft to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese and Manchurian forces. The total strength of the counteroffensive was 35 infantry battalions, 20 cavalry battalions.

Moscow fulfilled all his demands, and the only demand was to annihilate the Japanese army and make the Japanese army abandon the northward strategy. By achieving this effect, the Soviet Union avoided the difficult situation of fighting on two fronts.

He was carrying out Stalin's strategic intentions.

Second, he is engaged in strategic deception.

He used all means to make the Japanese think that it was impossible for him to carry out a large-scale attack.

One of them is to print and distribute manuals on defense. The Japanese were asked to see this manual and judge that the task of the Soviet army in the past few days was defense. According to the summer report, several junior officers lost their manuals and were disciplined.

Thirdly, he is arranging the army. Taking advantage of the heavy fog on the position in the past few days, the troops were deployed. Autumn in Outer Mongolia is coming, foggy, how timely.

The Soviet High Command had expanded the 57th Special Army into the 1st Army. This is a large corps of various combinations with independent combat functions organized temporarily. On July 15, he, Zhukov, was appointed commander of the army group.

He established three clusters, the Southern, Northern, and Central clusters. The central cluster of infantry mainly pinned down the Japanese army in front, and the armored mechanized cluster of the north and south outflanked and annihilated the Japanese army from the north and south flanks.

The cluster is organized as follows:

Southern Cluster: 57th Infantry Division, 6th Tank Brigade, 8th Mongolian Cavalry Division, 8th Motorized Armored Brigade, Tank Division

Two tank battalions of the 11th Brigade, a self-propelled artillery battalion, an anti-tank battalion of the 37th and a Spitfire tank company.

Northern Cluster: 11th Tank Brigade, 7th Motorized Armored Brigade, 36th Infantry Division 601st Regiment, 6th Mongolian Cavalry

division and anti-tank 87th battalion.

Central cluster: 36th and 82nd Infantry Divisions, 5th Infantry Machine Gun Brigade and two artillery regiments. Zhukov's reserves were the 9th Brigade of Motor Armored and the 212th Brigade of the Airborne Forces.

Zhukov, although ostensibly a champion of cavalry, genius created three-dimensional warfare. In this era, at this time, only Germany and the Soviet Union should have the practice of this tactic, and only their national strength can support this practice.

Since then, the war of mankind has begun a glorious page. From the intensive slaughter in the trenches and fortifications, it turned into a massive pouring of steel and the onslaught of tanks and chariots.

On the night of the 19th, he organized the Soviet troops to build a pontoon bridge over the Harakha River.

Zhukov was surprised by the anti-Japanese forces in the Northeast, that is, the Northeast Coalition Army. They did far more than he expected. He knew that if it weren't for their sabotage of the railway, and even the work of several cities along the railway, the Japanese army would have more troops on the front line and would have been more fully supplied.

Zhukov was confident of victory.

He knew that the Japanese were negotiating with the Soviet Union. He must fight a big victory and create the conditions for victory in the negotiations.

In the past few days, he has received several telegrams from Yichun, informing him that Yichun's troops are preparing to enter the war, where the troops have arrived, and so on.

Zhukov, based on the reports of the observers, knew that Yichun's troops were poorly equipped, did not have a high level of cultural quality, and did not have strong combat effectiveness. Such a force cannot be pinned on a lot of hopes, and it would be nice to play a role in disrupting traffic a little.

Therefore, he did not assign specific combat tasks to the anti-Japanese coalition forces, but only said that when they entered the battlefield, they would be decided according to the specific situation on the battlefield.

In fact, during this period of time, the Japanese army was not idle.

The Japanese army was moving troops, and the 2nd and 4th Divisions had gradually reached Hailar. In addition to troop movements, a large amount of baggage was gradually being transported.

In order to implement unified command, the Japanese army formed the 6th Army in Hailar on August 4, with the 23rd and 7th Infantry Divisions and the 8th Border Garrison under the command of Lieutenant General Ogishu, with a strength of about 59,000 troops.

However, in essence, the command of the campaign was not the Ogishu Army, but the Kwantung Army Headquarters.

The Japanese army assembled a defensive force of 75,000 men on the central, southern and northern fronts, 1,283 machine guns, 300 artillery pieces, and 31o aircraft.

The Japanese army was collecting the movements of the Soviet army and judging the next move of the Soviet army. The main thing is to judge whether the other side is going to fight a counterattack or a confrontation.

The Japanese army quickly got this Soviet defense manual, believing that the Soviet army would not attack on a large scale.

However, having received intelligence from Taro Okabe, Hailar understood the strategic deception of the Soviet army. The Soviet army was going to carry out a major counteroffensive.

The Japanese army was very good at tactics. They began to prepare quietly. During this period, the Kwantung Army transported shells, bullets, and explosives distributed in various units to Hailar and Arshan, and then distributed them to various units.

In addition to this, the front command also gave a death order to transfer the 2nd and 4th Army Corps to the Nomenkan front.

They also sent a large number of small units to reconnoiter the troop arrangements of the Soviet troops. According to the configuration of the Soviet troops, they made the corresponding arrangement.

Xiaolu only sent a small piece of information to change the course of the battle. History was changed, both the Soviet and Japanese armies increased their troops, increased material movements, and both made more effective preparations. Whichever side wins, the war will be more brutal.

The 2nd Division was in position in time, and their artillery was also in place. The 2nd Division is the most powerful Japanese unit on the battlefield at present, and it is the main force on which the Ogishu troops rely on it.

The 2nd Division was established in Sendai, also known as the Sendai Division, and was also known as the Warrior Regiment for its outstanding performance in the Russo-Japanese War. This division and regiment participated in the First Sino-Japanese War (called the Sino-Japanese War in Japan), the Russo-Japanese War, the September 18 Incident, the War of Aggression against China, and the Pacific War. At present, the Second Division is stationed in the Songhua River area with Harbin as the center, and is the main force in the crusade against the anti-Japanese coalition forces.

In the Battle of Nomenkan, the Kwantung Army ordered two divisions, Osaka (4th Division) and Sendai (2nd Division), stationed in the northern part of the puppet state of Manchukuo, to urgently mobilize to reinforce the front line. After receiving the order, the Sendai Division forcibly marched from Hailar to Nomenkan for 4 days.

The 4th Division also entered the battlefield.

The 4th Division, founded in Osaka, is commonly known as Yodo. The current division commander Shigeru Sawada.

Although the order for the Fourth Division to dispatch was issued, it was delayed. The number of sick patients in the division surged, and the excited Japanese wing commander personally sat in the infirmary to participate in the diagnosis in a fit of rage, and only then did he reluctantly organize the troops to march to the front line, and the joke that "the wing commander changed his career to become a doctor" also spread among the Japanese army.

Historically, the 4th Division walked for 8 days before reaching the front, and at this time, the Soviet Union and Japan declared an armistice. On the way back, the 4th Division was fully equipped and full of energy. This unit also behaved in the later Pacific War, and it is said that the U.S. military rated this unit as peace-loving.

This time it was different, the Kwantung Army command knew the strength of the Soviet army and made a great determination to transfer the 4th Division to the front. With strong intervention and with the help of a motor transport convoy, the Osaka Division reached the front on the 19th. The battle has not yet begun.

In fact, it was only the vanguard troops that they entered the battlefield, and the large troops were still a few kilometers away from the battlefield.

The only thing the Kwantung Army needed to do was to know the timing of the Soviet attack.

On August 19, 1939, the Kwantung Army received a string of digital 19390820 on the channel often used by Taro Okabe. There is only this string of numbers, and nothing else.

They quickly judged that this was the meaning of August 20, the likely time of the Soviet attack. Anyone who can tell that this is the date. But judging the date of the Soviet offensive required some courage. The technique of sending telegrams, as before, is very immature, and it is clearly the technique of the learner.

The date of the attack has not yet been confirmed, and there is no way to verify it, but the front line is still preparing according to this date, because the front command also judged that the time of the Soviet army's attack is two or three days.

Knowing this important time, the Japanese army quickly deployed its forces and urgently urged the troops on the road to hurry up to the battlefield.

Compared with the historical state of "it is difficult to ride a tiger, half dead", it is indeed difficult to ride a tiger, but it may not be half dead. The Japanese army had to give full play to the superiority of its infantry and fight to the death with the Soviet army.

Both sides are ready, and the war can begin.
