Chen Shao rushed back to Hanjing as quickly as possible, and after getting off the plane, he broke up with Xie Yuxin's mother and son, and came to the war conference room of the Ministry of National Defense non-stop.

"Stand Up"

At 5:50 a.m., five hours after the outbreak of skirmishes on the border, dignitaries of the Imperial Chinese Defense Forces gathered in the operations conference room of the Ministry of National Defense.

"Sit down, Stalin's ambition is not small, he wants to divide Mongolia, at that time we did not have reunification, and 40,000 people dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. Fortunately, the conspiracy was crushed, and the Chinese nation regained its dignity and kept Outer Mongolia. Today it is them again, and they have injured Chinese civilians. Tell me, what are the duties of the Chinese military? At the beginning of the meeting, Chen Shao was angry. With a snap, his hands slammed heavily on the table, shaking the senior generals of the Wehrmacht who were present to stand up again.

"Protect the country and the people." All the generals in the conference room shouted in unison.

"He Stalin is too blind, do you think that it is still the era of Tsarist Russia, and China is still the China ruled by the weak Manchu Dynasty. If you want the Nebuchu region, you want the Nebuchu region, if you want Vladivostok, you want Vladivostok, and now it is Mongolia's turn. They also wantonly killed the Chinese, who would only climb over the snow-capped mountains for thousands of years and deceive no one in China. You tell me, what to do in the face of such a thing? ”

"A tooth for a tooth, blood for a blood."

Chen Shao rarely gets angry, but every time he gets angry, he will come at the cost of appeasing his anger with a great defeat from the enemy.

Looking at the senior national defense officer standing, Chen Shao said coldly, "Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, there will never be an enemy who will wait for us to be ready to fight again, and the Soviets will not really let us take advantage of the fisherman." Moreover, the Soviet Union refused to admit that Soviet soldiers had shot Chinese people, and claimed that it was our slander against the Soviet Union. Today I want to tell the Soviet Union, to tell Stalin, that if China wants to attack you and the Soviet Union, I don't need a reason at all, and I don't need to make excuses. I command"

The senior generals of the Wehrmacht stood upright.

"First, the General Staff immediately revised the previous operational plan for counterattacking the Soviet Union and formulated an operational plan based on the latest situation on the front that was subsequently reported.

Second, the officers and men of the three armies of the Mongolian Military District and the Northeast Military District were ordered to make all preparations for an all-out attack on the Soviet Union.

Third, tell Su Yusheng that I will hear the sound of gunfire in the Sino-Soviet war tomorrow morning. Whatever he lacks, I will give him what he wants, telling him to let go of his hands and fight, so that the Soviets will know that I am very good at China.

Fourth, the Northwest Military Region was ordered to do a good job of combat readiness and deal with all kinds of unexpected situations. In particular, Xinjiang must do a good job in defense work.

I would like to mention in particular that every time there is a sudden battle, the attacked side is always unprepared at the beginning, so that the enemy can take advantage of the opportunity to expand the results of the battle. At this time, instead of hesitating, we should be cautious, or wait for the results of the diplomatic protest before fighting the enemy, but should immediately block them and limit the war to the border areas, which will not only avoid the loss of people's property, but also deter the enemy's will to attack This time, my determination is very strong, to give the Soviets an unforgettable lesson, let them know that Stalin's will, in front of my China, is not bullshit. Any attempt to split China and Mongolia will be resolutely countered by us. ”

With Chen Shao's order, the highly centralized Chinese Empire was like a war machine that suddenly started, approaching all the troops in the north and began to operate rapidly. What was originally just a matter of the Mongolian Military District has now become a matter of the entire Wehrmacht.

China, which was peaceful and developed its economy, people's livelihood and commerce with peace of mind, instantly tore off its coat and revealed a bright bayonet.

China, far beyond Stalin's expectations, reacted to this border war.

What seemed to be just a border war triggered by Stalin's personal will instantly became the fuse that could ignite the entire Sino-Soviet war, and Sino-Soviet relations were like dry wood poured with oil, which was about to erupt.

Chen Shao was very angry, but did not lose his mind, although he ordered the northern troops to be on alert, but except for Su Yusheng of Mongolia, he did not issue an attack order to other troops. Because Chen Shao knew very well that now was not the time for a full-scale war with the Soviet Union. At that time, once China attracts all the forces of the Soviet Union to the Far East, it can only be a wedding dress for Germany. Chen Shaoke is not so stupid.

And the anger in his heart needs to be vented, the blood of the Chinese cannot be shed in vain, and while controlling the war, Chen Shao also wants to make Stalin feel distressed for a while.

At five o'clock, the winter in the north, this hour and night have fallen.

Zhukov paced back and forth in the command headquarters with his hands behind his back. He didn't pay much attention to Stalin's scolding, and he was very angry when he learned about it. If it weren't for Stalin's orders, the two would have been executed.

Because the two of them did this, they turned the plan that Zhukov had formulated for a long time into a blank sheet of paper, which was useless at all, and in the end they would be led by the nose by China. From active to reactive. Because he now doesn't know where China is going to start attacking.

Now Zhukov is not unable to choose to strike first, but he is always worried that the Chinese army in front of him has already set up a trap waiting for him to drill. Although the repeated news from intelligence officers was normal, it was this normality that made Zhukov even more worried.

Moreover, now is not a good time for the armored forces to attack, because now the planes are not yet able to take off. In the face of the Chinese army, Zhukov would not have thought that tanks alone would do. You know, the Chinese tank is advanced, this is an indisputable fact. Zhukov did not want to take risks, the main thing is that such an adventure was completely unnecessary.

At this moment, a staff officer walked in, gave Zhukov a military salute and said: "Report to the commander, we have lost all contact with the intelligence officers who entered Mongolia. ”

"When?" Zhukov said with a frown.

"It's been half an hour since we lost contact, and we've been calling back and forth with no response. And all of them have lost contact, not individually, it is already certain that something has happened to our intelligence officers. It should have been wiped out by the Chinese side. ”

This news made Zhukov feel that the pace of war had come to his side. This is a sign that the Chinese army is going to start working, otherwise it will not do anything to intelligence officers. Because if you want to do it against the Soviet intelligence officers, you can do it a long time ago, and there is no need to wait until now.

"Are you sure you lost contact with our intelligence agents at the same time?"

"Yes."

At the same time, this news also reminded Zhukov that China should have been eyeing the Soviet intelligence personnel very early, otherwise it would not be possible to eliminate all the intelligence personnel at once. After all, intelligence officers are hidden, unlike frontal combat troops. And it also shows that the information that these intelligence officers have obtained before is likely to be fake.

Thinking of this, Zhukov felt a burst of joy in his heart. Fortunately, I don't have a hot head, otherwise I would really be able to fall for the Chinese army.

But after thinking about it, Zhukov was even more distressed in his heart. How the Chinese army is deployed now, up to now, even this most basic issue has not been clarified. In the past, he could still take that information seriously, but now that he has lost contact with the intelligence officers, Zhukov has become completely blind. In the past, even if the information sent by the intelligence officers was inaccurate, it could at least be used as a basis for judgment, but now there is no news at all.

Does the Chinese army have the ability to act? Or is it already in action? Where is it now? What about the troops? How many heavy weapons are there? What is the specific number of aircraft tanks? Zhukov has no bottom on these questions now.

"The order went down, the whole army maintained a high degree of vigilance 24 hours a day, and the number of posts and the range of vigilance in each unit were doubled. All divisions and regiments must maintain unimpeded communication with each other, and any situation must be reported in a timely manner, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law. At the same time, for those officers and soldiers who neglect their duties, the political commissar can enforce battlefield discipline on his own. Now Zhukov can only respond to all changes with the same. This is also a way to do it, and now the Chinese army does not know what the situation is, so it can only let the opponent move first.

At the same time, Su Yusheng also received an order from the Ministry of National Defense and personally talked with Chen Shao for a few minutes. After hanging up the phone, Su Yusheng was not cautious, he had already prepared a battle plan, and he was about to give the order to attack.

"Order all officers at and above the division level to come to the headquarters immediately and attend the pre-war meeting."

Pre-war meeting.

Su Yusheng went straight to the point, conveyed Chen Shao's instructions and the orders of the Ministry of National Defense, and then began to arrange combat missions.

"Order the artillery cluster, begin to build artillery positions, mark the firing elements that have been conveyed before. At five o'clock in the morning, the artillery bombardment was launched in a unified manner, and the shelling lasted for 30 minutes. After Su Yusheng issued the first order, Bian began to order again: "Order the three regiments in the front to start at three o'clock in the morning, before the shelling begins, they must reach the border, and after the shelling is over, immediately launch an attack to pull out the forward garrison of the Soviet army." Immediately after taking the forward garrison positions of the Soviet troops, defensive positions were formed. Tell the officers and men that we must not be greedy for merit, after all, the Soviet army has 600,000, and we must not be careless.

Due to the weather, there is no way for planes to come to help in this attack for the time being, and we must rely on our army itself. Our planes did not have a way to enter the war, and the Soviet planes, naturally, did not have a way to enter the war. Therefore, in this battle, we must show the prestige of our army, and let the air force see that our army is still the strongest in the world without the support of the air force.

And in this battle, I don't care how to attack it, I just want the result. By eight o'clock tomorrow morning, my order must be fulfilled to take the forward garrison positions of the Soviet troops, destroy their garrisons, and pave the way for our subsequent military operations. ”
