Chapter Two Thousand and Seventy-Seven: Calculation
Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe was stunned, not for anything else, the division commander's move was too dangerous, and he only followed two brigades of less than 40,000 troops, on the battlefield of more than 2 million people in the Soviet army and the independent division combined, moreover, it was a chaotic battlefield, any unexpected situation could happen, and the division commander had to intercept and kill the retreating Soviet troops?
In any battlefield whirlpool, these 40,000 or so troops were swept in, and they couldn't even turn up a wave, besides, Delun, where the division commander was scheduled to settle, was the area where the second echelon of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front retreated and was very likely to pass through.
Zhao Yuhe's face turned red, and he said loudly: "Division commander, I strongly oppose your approach, the division commander can stay in Seyinshanda to command the operation, the same is close to the front line, and there is no need to reach the area of Delun to establish a command headquarters, the Soviet army is retreating on the whole line, near Delun, there must be a large number of Soviet troops passing by, doing so, it is too dangerous, I don't agree!" ”
Tang Qiuli was very interested, looking at Zhao Yuhe, who was so excited that his face turned red, he suddenly laughed and said: "Yuhe, don't be nervous, you are too worried, in more than two hours, more than 100,000 people in the five brigades of the corps directly under the left flank of the Soviet army will launch an attack, think about it, from now to nine o'clock tomorrow morning, more than ten hours, under the pressure of our left wing troops, the Soviet troops who are eager to get out will definitely retreat at full speed and dare not delay, at that time, they will have already passed the Guò Delun line. ”
"We rushed to Delen, I'm afraid we're behind the butts of the Soviet army, if we're lucky, we can catch some Soviet troops that are behind, if we're unlucky, I'm afraid we'll only be able to catch some stragglers, what's the danger?"
Zhao Yuhe stared. After thinking for a while, his expression relaxed, and he said: "Commander, I admit that your judgment is correct, but there is a case in everything, so my opinion is that the time of the division will be postponed by three hours. Wait for the troops on our left flank to attack before leaving, this is what I must insist on! ”
Tang Qiuli nodded helplessly, "Okay, Yuhe." Just do what you want, right. In the order to the troops blocking the Donnu and Ural Mountains. One more article is that after each brigade enters the position, it should build fortifications with great fanfare, expose its whereabouts and aims as much as possible, and exaggerate its own strength, so that one brigade can be described as the strength of three brigades. Make a few more numbers, not only limited to the numbers of the directly subordinate corps! ”
Zhao Yuhe was puzzled, isn't the so-called interception and killing just a surprise. A sudden kill, a head-on blow, will achieve unexpected results, but the division commander's order is very strange, the Soviet army is prepared, and if the corresponding plan is not formulated, the battle of the troops will be difficult to fight?
Tang Qiuli saw Zhao Yuhe's doubts, and didn't explain too much, so he simply said: "Bluff, knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and scare the snake!" Zhao Yuhe's eyes flashed with a little understanding, and he was even more puzzled, seeing that the division commander was unwilling to say anything more, he had to hurriedly go out with questions and give orders to the troops.
Tang Qiuli smiled slightly, it was not that he was playing tricks, but that he couldn't say a word or two, and he couldn't say it clearly, so let Zhao Yuhe realize it for himself in the changes in the battlefield situation in the future, and they all talked about him, but it lacked this experience and the process of his own understanding, which was not conducive to his rapid growth!
The special operations detachment of Chutian, which has been on its way for a few days, sent back a telegram saying that the operation of sabotaging the roads and bridges leading to the west of the Ural Mountains is proceeding very smoothly, and that the sabotage operation of the special operations detachment alone can be worth 100,000 troops, and the speed of the Soviet army's retreat will be greatly restricted, and the road that could have been completed in only half a month has not been completed at all, but now, in less than a month, it is impossible to reach the Tangnu Mountains and the Ural Mountains.
The Soviet troops on the western battlefield, under the fierce attack of the German army, were crushed, and they did not even have the strength to parry, and it had been more than a day since the outbreak of the war, and a decent line of resistance could not be established, and time was precious for the millions of Soviet troops in the east, and Stalin was waiting for these millions of troops to save his life!
Stalin was able to make the troops who rushed to save their lives be entangled in Outer Mongolia and the Far East, and if he knew that he had deployed heavy troops to intercept and kill the Soviet troops on the road that the Soviet army had to pass through to withdraw westward, it would be more than two months, as long as the Tangnu Mountains and the Ural Mountains were blocked, and the marching time on the Soviet army's road was added together, it would be more than two months.
In the face of the rapid advance of the German army into the Soviet Union, the Soviet army in the east was entangled and blocked, which was enough to kill Stalin, and in two months, the German army may have surrounded or even captured Moscow. If you don't bow your head, then keep playing, Hitler won't give you Stalin enough time to organize resistance!
However, just the troops of the independent division, the eastern battlefield is not lively enough, and the lack of the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Soviet troops in the Far East will bring great pressure to Liu Tiehan's eastern troops.
Tang Qiu left his hand to support his chin, turned around in a circle in the room, thinking hard, in his mind, one plan after another flashed, but none of them were perfect, he kept nodding and shaking his head, "Report!" The sound of a report coming from outside the door interrupted his train of thought, and he had no choice but to put down the matter and shout, "Come in!" ”
Chen Feng, director of the division commander's communications office, pushed the door in, "Report to the division commander, I received a telegram from Deputy Division Commander Liu of the East Command!" Chen Feng said, handing over a telegram.
Tang Qiuli quickly browsed it, Liu Tiehan reported in the telegram the current location of the East Command troops, the 14 mechanized infantry brigades of the forward troops have approached the vicinity of Chita, and the other 10 mechanized infantry brigades, divided into two routes, each with five brigades, respectively advanced to Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude, after the East Command troops completed their deployment, from Chita to Lake Baikal, the retreat road of the Soviet troops in the Far East was completely cut off.
Even if the East Finger troops do not do a frontal blockade, they continue to intercept and kill all the way, attack flexibly and maneuverably, and leave after a hit, it is enough to make the Soviet army struggling and bleeding step by step, and the distance from the Far East to the Ural Mountains will not be able to reach it at all if it does not take about two months, not to mention, there are two brigades of the directly subordinate corps, Liu Chun's four cavalry brigades, waiting for the Soviet army there, and Sun Zhenbang's corps, which is free, can also join the battlefield at any time.
Tang Qiuli put down the telegram and said to Chen Feng: "Call back to Deputy Division Commander Liu, the east refers to the troops, and the method of fighting should be determined according to the specific conditions of the battlefield, mainly to preserve strength and delay the actions of the Soviet army, and to entangle the quasi-Soviet army. ”
"It is also one of the great joys of life, however, the strength of the Soviet army faced by Brother Tie Han is really huge, and this battle still needs to be cautious and deal with it safely, with the talent of Brother Tie Han, the strong combat effectiveness of the East Command Army, will be able to control the heavy and light, command 100,000 soldiers in the East Index, and calculate millions of Soviet troops in the palm of your hand, waiting for my brother's war report to come!"
After Chen Feng recorded the order, saluted, and turned around to leave, Tang Qiuli's mind suddenly flashed like lightning, and the question he was thinking about just now suddenly became clear, "Wait, Director Chen!" He stopped Chen Feng.
"Then record the following order, Yu Deshui, the chief of the intelligence department, that you should disclose the news of the Soviet army's eagerness to withdraw from the Far East battlefield to the top of the Japanese base camp with the safest and fastest speed, through reliable channels, and without any trace, and no later than 6 o'clock in the evening of 12 April, you can contact the division commander and staff office to obtain the general direction and disposition of the Soviet army, and disclose it to the Japanese."
Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed with a cunning look, and as he spoke, there was a hint of an old fox-like smile on the corner of his mouth, which made Chen Feng feel a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but shudder, he knew the division commander too well, whenever the division commander showed this kind of smile, it was an unlucky person who fell into the division commander's calculations, and he was going to suffer a big loss, and it would be very miserable!
Tang Qiuli couldn't directly inform the Japanese, and the Soviet army was in a hurry to run, even if he personally said in front of Emperor Hirohito, Hirohito, who had been deceived many times and had become a conditioned reflex, I am afraid that his first reaction was, "I don't believe it if I am killed, this is the conspiracy of that devil Tang Qiuli, and I want to dig a big pit and let me jump in!" ”
However, this does not mean that Yu Deshui has no way, and the intelligence network of the intelligence department will definitely be able to have a line to let the Japanese high-level know about this matter without leaving a trace, and it will also be believed that it is the Japanese intelligence network that has learned this amazing news.
With this detailed information, the Japanese Kwantung Army, which suffered a big loss in Zhukov's hands, was not like a mad dog, turned around and bit the Soviet Army, and the two sides fought hard in the Far East for more than ten days, and the Kwantung Army lost at least half of its troops, and suffered so many losses, with Tang Qiuli's understanding of the Japanese character and style, they were the masters who only allowed themselves to take advantage and could not suffer losses, they would definitely do so, otherwise, they would not be Japanese!
In this way, the three-way melee in the Far East, the Soviet army and the Japanese Kwantung Army were pinched to the death, and the Dongzhi troops beat the side drums, without much loss, and the goal of dragging Zhukov's troops was achieved.
Just then, Shanhu pushed the door in, heard his laughter, was cold, scratched his head, and said secretly in his heart: "Yes, there is that unlucky guy again, who fell into Xiaoqiu's calculations!" ”
