There was a strange flag on Tukhachevsky's desk, and Lin Jun picked it up curiously and looked at it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Which unit of Little Japan is this?"

Lin Jun couldn't read Japanese, and the flag had obvious traces of being pierced by shrapnel, which was already very damaged. Such a Japanese flag would appear on Tukhachevsky's desk, it must be a military flag above the rank of a Japanese army, otherwise it would not have been qualified.

"The flag of the 7th Division of the Japanese Army, when did you say it would be sent to Moscow?" ，

"The flag of the Seventh Division?! Haha, haha! ”

Tukhachevsky looked at Lin Jun, who was holding a rag and laughing unscrupulously, and said: "The military flag above the brigade level was captured, and the Japanese command let one of our shells collapse before it was saved." ”

"Enough! Enough is enough! It took Lin Jun a long time to control his emotions, "This is even better than the impact of destroying 50,000 Japanese troops!" ”。

"Which unit captured it?"

"Didn't Fekochinov tell you?" Tukhachevsky's tone was a little strange: you don't have to forget about such an important capture to get some "souvenirs" for the old chief, right?

"No, this kid has patronized me to offer treasures!"

It was the 2nd Tank Regiment of the 1st Division that captured the last command of the Japanese army, and it should have been the Japanese army who ate tank shells before they had time to burn the military flag: "This military flag alone is enough to award the 1st Division of the Order of Lenin!" ”

Lin Jun turned around and threw the rag in his hand back on the table, "Commander-in-chief, what are you going to do next?" ”

The two walked to the sand table, on which all positions on the west bank of the Haraha River were already covered with Red Army flags.

"Tokyo wants to negotiate peace with us, but the Kwantung Army on the other side still has some moves, as if it is unwilling to be completely defeated like this."

"The two divisions were completely reimbursed, and even the qualifications for reconstruction were gone, and the tank divisions were only left with the wing that did not come, and the heavy artillery units of the entire Kwantung Army reimbursed us at least 70 percent, and half of the Air Force also let us fight down, and if I were the commander of the Kwantung Army, I would not be willing to admit defeat like this. If there is a truce with us now, the commander of the Kwantung Army will only be able to apologize to the emperor of ** by committing suicide. ”

Lin Jun looked at the sand table and said.

"Do you think the Kwantung Army will fight us against the wishes of their base camp?"

"The possibility of fighting a large-scale battle with us again is very small, of course, it mainly depends on the meaning of the ** emperor, and the emperor can't stop anyone if he wants to fight. If it does not agree, no matter how bold the Kwantung Army is, it will not dare to chirp. Speaking of this, Lin Jun suddenly thought of something, "Commander-in-chief, is the patrol we sent out in the upper border area of the Haraha River still there?" ”

"Yes, in case the little Japanese dog jumps over the wall, yesterday I also ordered to strengthen the patrol force."

All this was to prevent the Japanese army from coming to a "dare to die bacteriological assault", and the Kwantung Army did not dare to deploy troops on a large scale without Tokyo's order, but it had to prevent them from sending a 180-strong bacteriological unit to take risks. Lin Jun is not afraid of small-scale bacteriological warfare by little devils now, but it would be best if he could catch a form, and the best form would be able to kick the top brass of the Kwantung Army again, which was now in danger, politically.

"The Kwantung Army originally had 8 ground combat divisions and regiments, but now there are only six left, and one of them is an empty barrel tank division that basically has no combat effectiveness. The Kwantung Army, as the most important strategic reserve force assembly and training group in the base camp of the Japanese army, will send up to three divisions to engage us even if the war starts, which should be the limit of the Kwantung Army, and we can still resist this amount of troops. As far as I know, Japan now has 34 divisions, 32 in China, 12 divisions in North China plus 4 independent mixed brigades, 10 divisions in Central China, and 2 divisions in South China. The Japanese army may transfer one or two more divisions from North China to the north, and it is impossible to increase troops from other areas to support the Kwantung Army, which is inconsistent with their strategy. ”

Tukhachevsky listened carefully to Lin Jun's words, and he also heard something: Andrei said "32 in China", and he didn't care about Manchukuo at all.

"Tomorrow I will ask the Air Force to step up reconnaissance on the border, and once the Japanese army makes a move, it will be better to be prepared. If the Japanese army dares to jump over the wall and fight again, I will press the first division! Today, I investigated and found that the entire 1st Division has so far lost more than 200 people due to casualties and illnesses, and its combat effectiveness has not been affected at all, and the number of casualties due to combat is less than 50. ”

"Andrey, just rely on your guarantee, I can defeat the 100,000 troops of Little Japan with one division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Although the tank units of the 1st Division participated in the main attack in the previous few days, Tukhachevsky did not "die to death", otherwise it would not have taken six days to end the offensive campaign. If you blindly attack regardless of losses, there will be more losses of new tanks under the **** attack of the Japanese army, but more than 300 new tanks can completely flatten all the main positions of the Japanese army in two days.

The worst-case scenario now is to face the attack of five divisions of the Japanese army, although it sounds like the five divisions also have 1230,000 men, but the total technical weapons are not as good as a mechanized division, and even all the existing artillery of the Kwantung Army is estimated to be inferior to the artillery of the first division, and the most important thing is that the invincible armored cluster of the first division is not something that the Japanese can resist -- 26,000 against 100,000 is not a fool's blow! Needless to say, the two mechanized infantry regiments, which were tied for first place in the Red Army in terms of combat effectiveness (and, of course, the Central Guard Regiment), had not yet moved, and they were the best trained and best-equipped troops, and those AK47s and RPG-7s were weapons that little Japan could not have imagined.

The two were still analyzing what might happen in the future, and the most important thing was whether to ask Moscow for reinforcements, when Chief of Staff Zhukov walked in: "Commander-in-chief, Comrade Andrei, a telegram just sent from Moscow. ”

Tukhachevsky read the message and handed it to Lin Jun: "Congratulations, Comrade Zhukov! ”

Zhukov held Tukhachevsky's outstretched hand tightly: "Thank you, commander-in-chief." Lin Jun saw that the telegram read: In view of the outstanding command skills shown by Comrade Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov in the operation on the Harakha River, the National Defense Committee decided to promote him to the rank of commander of the corps.

"Congratulations, Comrade Zhukov!"

Zhukov smiled: "Thank you, commander-in-chief and Comrade Andrei." "There are not too many words, because he knows that it is not appropriate to show too much joy in his heart now: the telegram is only his own business, and Tukhachevsky in front of him is still a divisional commander, of course he can't show too much joy, just mean it. And a large part of the reason for his promotion this time was that his own opinions restrained the night raid operations that the Japanese army was best at, and the countermeasures were simply what Comrade Andrei reminded him.

Zhukov understood that Lin Jun was deliberately helping him, otherwise he would be an idler when he arrived at the Harakha River - not to mention the current position of chief of staff, why didn't Lin Jun give this opportunity to Fekochinov? The commander of the first division is Lin Jun's real cronies, and with the record of the first division, Fekochinov can also be promoted to the rank, and it is not a problem to become a division-level commander!

"Gusev, bring me my briefcase."

Lin Jun took out an official document from it: "This is the telegram I drafted, just wait for the results of the battle to be counted and send it to Moscow, how about you take a look?" ”

After reading it, Tukhachevsky handed it to Zhukov, and he did not speak, and Zhukov was beating the drum in his heart after reading it: "It's time to gamble!" ”

"Comrade Andrey, I would like to add my name after the telegram when sending the telegram."

Lin Jun knew that Zhukov's words had already shown that Zhukov had made a choice, and he would be the cadre of his group in the future, because on the telegram, Lin Jun proposed to the Central Committee: restore Tukhachevsky's rank of marshal!

Six hands clasped tightly together.

"Comrades Yakov and Voronov have already expressed their stance to stand with us, and Kulik and Pavlov, I haven't asked them yet, and it is estimated that they will also be named together."

Lin Jun's words were obviously a gang, and Zhukov and Tukhachevsky knew that Kulik and Pavlov did not dare to oppose Lin Jun's proposal at all. Although Kulik is also the Deputy People's Commissar of Defense, his importance cannot be compared with Lin Jun, and with the influence of Alexander in Moscow, Kulik just doesn't dare to go on this trip, and he has no choice. Pavlov, who has just returned from Spain, only has an honest joint name, and he doesn't dare to chirp crookedly after returning to Moscow, unless he has a problem with his brain.

"Andrey, as long as I am in the army for one day, I will be your staunchest support. My family and I would not have been able to stand here now without the adventurous help of you and Comrade Alexander. ”

The "God of War" once again spoke his heart today, and Zhukov at this time was a witness to Tukhachevsky's "allegiance".

"Comrade Andrey, if it weren't for your recommendation, I wouldn't have been here, no matter what happens in the future, I will be the one who carries you a stretcher!"

At this moment, Lin Jun knew that he had pulled the most outstanding military commanders of the two generations of the Soviets into his chariot. (To be continued.) )
