In the headquarters of the Soviet Army on the Eastern Front in Khabarovsk, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the sound of telegrams and telephone calls was incessant. www.biquge.info The 13th and 15th divisions of the border garrison located in Luobei were suddenly surrounded by two armies of the Chinese army, which surprised Vasilev. Obviously, the Eighth Route Army secretly moved troops to the north, indicating that the enemy army had guessed its intentions. Since the enemy army has guessed its intentions, if it can eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army on the front line of the Songhua River, it will be easy to occupy Jiamusi easily in the next step, and create more favorable conditions for attacking Harbin.

Vasilev's telegram order: The 15th and 16th divisions of the border garrison contracted their forces in Luobei to hold on and hold the enemy, and ordered the air force to fully support. After analysis and judgment, there were two enemy armies in Luobei, indicating that Jiamusi's troops were empty. If you can take the opportunity to capture Jiamusi, you can not only relieve the siege of Luobei, but also create conditions for attacking Harbin, in addition, you can take the opportunity to eat the enemy's two armies, which is a triple win. At present, the various units are assembling in Tongjiang, and they do not have the conditions for attacking, but since the enemy forces are the first to strike, the fighters are a little inferior and will pass away, how can they wait and ignore it.

Vasilev then ordered the 3rd Tank Division of the 5th Tank Army, which had completed the assembly, to take the lead in attacking along the east bank of Jiamusi, and at the same time ordered the river fleet to go up the river to cooperate with the operation, and the river fleet mainly provided logistical supplies. In the absence of perfect preparations, it is taboo for soldiers to launch an attack in a hurry, but Vasilev believes that the fighter will not let go when it comes. "Comrade Marshal, Lieutenant General Medeyev telegraphed that the 15th and 16th Divisions, under the cover of the Air Force, have completed the shrinkage of their forces in Luobei, and they promise to hold on to Luobei for 5 days."

"Kosygin's 5th tank division, arrived in Jiamusi in 3 days." "Which force is assembled?" "The two divisions of the 40th Army have completed their assembly in Tongjiang!" "Order these two divisions to follow!" Vasilev was still uneasy about Luobei and asked: "Does the troops on the north bank of the river send a part of the troops to cross the river to support?" "At present, the field troops on the north bank of the river are assembling in Tongjiang, and it will take five days to complete the preparations if the deployment is changed!" The chief of staff replied. "Order the air force to give full support to ensure that the defense of Luobei is stable!"

At the Jiamusi Defense Command, the atmosphere was equally tense. At this time, Bai Chongxi stared at the military map, his face was very grim. "Commander, the operation began at 6 a.m., and by 1 p.m., the units of the 22nd and 25th armies had completed the encirclement of the two divisions of the Soviet army. The Soviet army tried to break through to no avail, and is currently shrinking its forces and waiting for reinforcements. "Telegraph the 22nd Army and the 25th Army to prevent Soviet reinforcements from crossing the river!" "The reconnaissance unit reported that there was no sign of a build-up of Soviet forces on the north bank."

The chief of staff continued: "The Soviet army dispatched a large number of fighters to prevent my attack, it seems that the Soviet army is going to hold Luobei, what does this mean, it is so difficult that the Soviet army does not care about two divisions being eaten." Bai Chongxi looked at the military map and said, "General Ouyang asked me to take advantage of Vasilev's weakness, this person is very steady but also conceited. Our department secretly recruited Jiamusi, and Vasilev must have made a mistake in judgment. The two armies of our department suddenly surrounded the two divisions of the Soviet Army in Luobei, which Vasilev did not expect. At present, the Soviet army has not completed the build-up of troops, in this case, Chief of Staff, you can analyze it, what should he do? ”

"Vasilev will think that Jiamusi is empty of troops and send troops in a hurry!" "Yes, we have to take advantage of his weaknesses." "Report, the reconnaissance unit called, and a tank unit of the Soviet army was dispatched, and the target was Jiamusi. In addition, a river flotilla acted in tandem. "Did the two anti-tank regiments supported by the 1 Corps reach the front?" "Report to the commander, the forward position has been reached." "The anti-tank regiment of the Eighth Route Army was ordered to send a tank unit of the Soviet Army along the east bank of the Songhua River. The headquarters can draw up a battle plan on its own to delay the advance of Soviet tanks. ”

"Commander, the joint operation with the Eighth Route Army is reassuring. Our department did not ask for it, and they took the initiative to send 2 anti-tank regiments, which had never happened in previous operations, even if it was a friendly unit. After the anti-tank regiment supported by the Eighth Route Army came up, the morale of all the officers and men was greatly boosted, and the enthusiasm for fighting was unprecedentedly high. "What you said is reasonable, it is a sacred duty for military personnel to put the interests of the nation first."

"Chief of Staff, great changes have taken place in the land of China, and there is no need to worry about it. Lao Jiang and his wife hid in Lanzhou for some reason, and they didn't interfere with the front-line command, what does this mean? "Yes, this is not in line with Lao Jiang's character, maybe it was General Ouyang's toughness that made him wake up!" "It can only be explained in this way, don't look at the Eighth Route Army, there are only three major corps, with a total strength of more than 1 million people, but the air force and navy have developed to the point of terror, and the formation of a coalition government between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the future is the only option. Chief of Staff, it is better for us to say less on politically sensitive issues, lest people in the military command make small reports. ”

"The military commanders can't do anything else, they are very good at stealing chickens and dogs, and the generals of various ministries are very disgusted with them." "Report, the joint command of the 22nd Army and the 25th Army report: Soviet fighters bombed fiercely, and it is recommended that the general offensive be launched at night." "Agree with their decision and order the 22nd and 25th armies to eat 2 divisions of the Soviet army in two days." "Do you want to report to ZQ!" "Forget it, when they heard about the encirclement of two Soviet divisions, they will boast about it again. Inform them after the battle is over. ”

"Commander, the special forces of the Eighth Route Army have started a large-scale attack, why did Su Yu stand still?" "I guess Su Yu has a big appetite and wants to lay the battle on the Eastern Front in one fell swoop." "Are you saying that Su Yu wants to eat all the Soviet army clusters on the southern front and obediently 150,000 troops?" The chief of staff was stunned. "Not only that, the purpose of the Eighth Route Army was to capture the area east of the Ussuri River. This is a battle of territories, admirable. It seems that General Ouyang has long had this plan, and Lao Jiang's all-out efforts are probably also the reason. ”

That night, the atmosphere at the Khabarovsk command became even more tense. "Comrade Marshal, Lieutenant General Medyev sent a telegram that the enemy launched a general offensive on all fronts at 8 p.m., and the attack was very fierce." Report by the Chief of Staff. "The enemy army is taking advantage of the fact that our fighters cannot be dispatched to launch an attack at night, and ordered Medyev to survive this night at any cost, as long as he holds on to this night, the enemy's offensive will be contained." "Comrade Marshal, the enemy army is 6 times the strength of the troops, and the 15th and 16th divisions of the garrison have no heavy weapons, which is worrying."

"The enemy army is secretly going north, and there will be no heavy weapons, I believe they will be able to hold it." Vasilev was clearly lacking in confidence. In fact, Vasilev knew in his heart that even if the two garrison divisions were eaten, the high command would not blame him. Previously, the high command thought that the Chinese army did not dare to move at all, but now it seems that the high command did it on purpose, that is, to lure the Chinese army to send troops on the eastern front, which is a strategic consideration. Since it is an inducement, it will inevitably pay a price, and I am afraid that the high command has long been strategically prepared.

However, at the very beginning, two divisions were wiped out by the enemy, and Vasilev could not shirk his responsibility. In addition, it is impossible to say it on the face. A steady Vasilev regretted a little at this time, he should have withdrawn the two divisions of Luobei to Jiangbei before, and there would not have been such a passive situation. Vasilev's mental activity, the chief of staff could not guess, but seeing that His Excellency the marshal was very calm, he sincerely admired it. The chief of staff also understood that the enemy was very clever in this move, and with heavy troops in hand, he could only watch the two surrounded divisions fight alone, and he could not even help.

The night was too difficult, time seemed to freeze, and all the generals in the headquarters were eager for the sky to dawn soon. At midnight, terrible news came from Luobei that the outer positions on the north and south sides defended by the 16th Division had been broken through. "Order the commander of the 16th Division, be sure to hold the main position, otherwise military law will be engaged!" Vasilev personally sent a telegram to the commander of the 16 division. It stands to reason that the commander of Luobei should be Medev, why did Vasilev give an order directly to the commander of the 16th Division? The reason was that after the encirclement of two Soviet divisions, Vasilev ordered the commander of the 15th division, Medev, to command the operation.

There was a problem with the temporary cramming, you must know that Medyev was a general at the same level as the commander of the 16th Division, and at such a critical moment, Medyev accepted the order to command the 16th Division to fight, which led to the problem of subordination and mentality. That is, Medyev commanded the 16th Division to fight, and the order was to give the headquarters of the 16th Division, not the troops below, so the outer positions of the 16th Division were broken through, and the mystery of this is self-evident. It is also self-evident why Vasilev directly gave the order to the commander of the 16th division.

The Soviet Russian army is very particular about seniority, and Vasilev knows in his heart what is going on, and the enemy cannot severely accuse the 16th Division of losing the peripheral positions on the north and south sides at present. Vasilev's telegraph worked, and the Soviet troops stubbornly resisted until dawn. When a large number of Soviet troops roared in, the enemy's offensive was contained. The commander of the 16th garrison division called Alexander Yashin into the joint command. He was tall and large, in contrast to the diminutive Medyev. After the enemy's offensive was contained, Alexander Yachen came uninvited.

Alexander Yaxing looked at Medyev condescendingly and said: "General Medeyev, if we hold on any longer, it will undoubtedly be death." There is air force cover during the day, and we have to take the opportunity to break through. "The enemy army is 6 times larger than me, and if you break through the siege, you will die faster, and only by holding on can you have a glimmer of life." At present, Kosygin's tank unit is advancing towards Jiamusi, and the situation of the battle will soon change drastically. "Medyev is very resolute." You will pay for your cowardice, please think again. Alexander Yashin knew that he could not convince Medev, so he turned and left, he had an idea in his heart.
