Chapter 141: Zhukov's Admonition

With the first column of the Northeast Field Army of the Eighth Route Army, it once again launched a fierce offensive against the Chaoyang area where the Eighth Division of the Kwantung Army was stationed. Overnight, the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info made a breakthrough from Chifeng and Jinxi, forcing the Kwantung Army to abandon its frontal position and retreat to the rear.

Such a battlefield situation also meant that the Eighth Division failed to intercept and block the Eighth Route Army. Although the Japanese army had air force to provide air support during the day, it could be divided into small groups to attack and harass the Eighth Route Army, and the little devil air force did not have a problem.

Originally, they wanted to search for the heavy artillery units used by the Eighth Route Army in the night attack, but the reconnaissance planes searched the surrounding area several times, not to mention that the heavy artillery units were not found. Even if the main force of the Eighth Route Army assembled on a large scale, they didn't find it.

If the Eighth Division did not retreat at this time, it might be better to carry out a counterattack and test whether there was the main force of the Eighth Route Army lurking at the front of the Japanese position. It's a pity that the 8th Division doesn't want to waste any more time.

The Eighth Division, which was worried about being surrounded on three sides, saw that the Eighth Route Army also intended to reduce the pressure of the attack. The troops who originally provided cover and behind the palace naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and retreated while fighting to catch up with the pace of the large army.

Knowing that the Japanese army began to plan to abandon the defensive position that was still holding at present, He Zhengdao also issued a timely order to let the troops rest during the day. Only a few troops who did not participate in the battle last night were sent to pursue in small units.

I don't want them to achieve much results, but the little devils who are bent on running away can't safely transfer the front-line supplies to the rear. Everyone knows that the little devils are still quite valuable to the Eighth Route Army.

Whether it is the weapons and equipment they use, or the combat equipment and clothes they carry, they can be exchanged for a small sum of money when they are taken down and sent to the rear. The worst, at the end of the year, I sent condolences to poor households, which is also a good New Year's gift!

The army aviation units of the Kwantung Army, which had been searching for a morning without success, were also very entangled in the face of the continuous telegrams for help sent by the Normenhan side. Eventually, after returning home, they soon reappeared on the battlefield of Normenhan.

On the other hand, in recent times, the air force of the Soviet Far East Army, which has clashed with the air force of the Kwantung Army several times. Faced with the fact that I didn't see many fighters of the Kwantung Army take off in the morning, I also felt a little surprised.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the Soviet Far East Army to receive a telegram from Yan'an. It means that the Eighth Route Army has begun to attack the Kwantung Army in the Rehe area, so as to attract the attention of the Kwantung Army.

Many high-ranking members of the Soviet Far East Army were also a little surprised when they saw this telegram: "It seems that our comrades in China have grown a lot in their ranks. Even if the Kwantung Army has to pay attention to them! ”

Regarding the words of this kind of Soviet general, the same general said: "They can make the Kwantung Army pay attention to it, it is nothing more than relying on the tactics of crowds." I have to say that there are too many people in China, and you can organize a large army to go to the battlefield by just pulling some young people! ”

From the words of these Soviet generals, it is not difficult to hear that they, like the Kwantung Army earlier, do not seem to pay much attention to the Eighth Route Army. Even though they have hit a lot of nails right now, they still feel that they are superior to other armies!

In contrast, Zhukov, commander of the First Group Army stationed in Mongolia, said very seriously: "Perhaps in your eyes, the troops formed by our Chinese comrades are far inferior to us in terms of equipment and training, and can only rely on the tactics of the sea of people to fight.

But you have all overlooked one point, since the beginning of the all-out war between China and Japan. The main force of their national * army was on the front line, and basically did not achieve much victory. On the contrary, the contingent led by our comrades is constantly regaining lost ground.

At the moment, we have used the elite units of the group army, although it is the elite units of the Kwantung Army that need to be dealt with. But it cannot be denied that we are not fighting well, on the contrary, our comrades are constantly winning.

According to the latest information, our comrades in China have once again won a victory in the Chaoyang area of Rehe. And it was also the 8th Division, the main force of the Kwantung Army, that fought with them. Could it be that this is also a fluke?

Over the years, our troops have lacked actual combat experience, and even in the course of operations, they still seem to be unable to adapt to them. However, in contrast, we, the Chinese comrades, have rich experience in actual combat.

If you ignore their existence and strength today, then we may be able to do the same in the future. As far as I know, the young general who is currently leading the troops to fight against the Kwantung Army is also a rare hawkish general in China.

The most shocking thing is that this general, who is already the commander of the group army, is now less than 30 years old. Thinking about our current age, if you compare yourself to each other, do you still feel proud and proud?

Earlier, some people felt that we hoped that the comrades in Huaxia would cooperate, and that it would be a bit embarrassing. But this morning, we, the Air Force, won a landslide victory. Isn't it precisely because the air force of the Kwantung Army was temporarily transferred there?

If the Army Air Force of the Kwantung Army is still fighting with us in the airspace of the war, do you think the breakthrough in the morning will be so easy? We need to be vigilant against any friend or foe, and we must not underestimate the strength of others.

Right now, we are fighting against the Kwantung Army, more to declare our determination to protect our allies. But we all need to remember that at present, the team that borders most with our allies is the team led by our Huaxia comrades.

Once they have recovered the whole of the Northeast, have you ever thought about how we will get along with them in the future? If you think that everything must be solved by war, then in the future you will also know that the largest advantage is the number of people! ”

After several years of brutal purge policy, a large number of generals and officers with rich combat experience in the Soviet Red Army were purged and even persecuted. Even at present, the combat effectiveness of the Soviet Red Army has also dropped much compared with before.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, the Soviet Red Army was much stronger than before, and the equipment of the troops was more advanced than before. But in Zhukov's opinion, the Soviet Red Army lacked rich experience in real combat in a hurry.

It is precisely because of this that even the equipment and number of troops of the First Group Army stationed in Mongolia are not weaker than those of the Kwantung Army. But the battle has been fought so far, and it still seems to be a stalemate, and the casualties of the troops are constantly increasing.

As the commander of the campaign, Zhukov knew very well that Moscow did not want the war to last too long. Even though many of the supplies of the Far Eastern Army were provided by the Outer Mongolian government, the dead and wounded soldiers were at least Soviet.

If the casualties in this battle are too large, I am afraid that he, the commander-in-chief, will not be able to deal with Moscow. It was precisely because of this concern that Zhukov asked people to contact the Yan'an side, hoping that the comrades in Huaxia would respond to it.

In any case, Zhukov knew very well that at least for the time being, they could get along peacefully with the Eighth Route Army in China. The enemies they need to deal with are also the same, and cooperation is actually beneficial to both sides.

On the whole, Zhukov was somewhat disappointed in the operation of the Kwantung Army. Originally, in Zhukov's opinion, they were unprepared and should be able to catch the Kwantung Army off guard.

After achieving a certain victory, the territory that is currently in dispute is brought under control, and the game between the two armies is quickly ended. But no one expected that the war would break out so suddenly, and the Kwantung Army would respond so quickly.

And the elite troops of both sides are engaged in fighting here, and the daily loss of tanks and planes on both sides also makes the commander-in-chief of the two armies feel distressed. After all, today's wars are more about strategic resources and money.

The only thing that makes Zhukov gratifying is that the Outer Mongolian Army cooperated very well with the Far Eastern Army in this operation. At present, the greatest casualties among the fighters of the coalition forces are actually the Outer Mongolian troops that cooperate with them in the battle.

As for the Far Eastern Army, although there were also considerable losses. But compared to the battle losses of the Kwantung Army, Zhukov felt that they still had a certain advantage. And this time, the Eighth Route Army cooperated in the hope of forcing the Kwantung Army to submit.

As long as the Kwantung Army could not bear the alliance between the Far Eastern Army and the Eighth Route Army, then in Zhukov's view, Japan's compromise with the Soviet Union was also their only way out. In this way, the USSR could also get what it wanted from this war.

At least in Zhukov's opinion, today's Japanese * Ben is completely crazy. An island country, if it wants to embezzle a big China, not to mention, they still dare to provoke such a favored thing as the Soviet Union, isn't this crazy, what is it?

If they are not awakened and the Kwantung Army is not afraid, in the future, the Kwantung Army will still look down on the Far East region garrisoned by the Far Eastern Army. And this time to provoke the war, it is more the hope of the Soviet side, that the first war will determine the right to speak in the Far East.

As one of the few remaining high-ranking generals in the Soviet Red Army, Zhukov was well aware that the Soviet Union wanted to increase its voice in Europe. At present, the government and the military top brass are secretly deploying a war plan to enter Europe.

As Germany continued to show its strength in Europe, the Soviet Union was also a little greedy. After all, many of the Soviet top brass felt that with their national strength, they should have more say and decide on international affairs.

It is precisely in view of the fact that in the second half of the year, the Soviet Union will carry out a major military operation in Europe, and the Far East must be stabilized. If the Far East could not remain calm, the Soviet Union was also worried that it would find itself in the awkward position of fighting on two fronts.

As for this battle plan, it is impossible for Zhukov to explain it to these generals under his command. It's just that what Zhukov didn't know was that the battle plan that the Soviet Union and the German side were currently discussing already knew about He Zhengdao.

Of course, this knowledge also exists in the memory of the world. However, it is undeniable that the overall pattern of the world is still moving forward along the history. This also means that it is only a matter of time before the Soviet Union and Japan sign a non-aggression pact.

In order to seize the time before the signing of this treaty, the Eighth Route Army must achieve more victories and expand more troops, so that it can cope with the complicated international situation at that time and gain a glimmer of life in the game against the Kwantung Army.

If Zhukov knew, their intentions would have been known to a few high-ranking people in Yan'an. It is estimated that he will also know that at the moment, they are busy, and it is the Eighth Route Army that will finally be fulfilled!
