As the chief of staff of the Outer Mongolian Front, the files of all officers at and above the division level were in the head of Lieutenant General Pozhnev, he thought for a while, and replied affirmatively: "Comrade commander, I personally believe that Major General Vasidsky, head of the Security Department of the Front, is very suitable for this position. ”

General Vasilevsky nodded, and very much agreed with the chief of staff's Jianyi, the person who came down from the Cheka, for stalking and tracking, it is a familiar road, doing such a brain-intensive work, and really having such a professional, Pozhnev's Jianyì, can be said to know people and make good use of them.

"Okay, immediately in the name of the Military and Political Department of the Front, issue an order to appoint Major General Vasidsky, head of the Defense Department of the Front, as the commander of the rear rectification command and a member of the political committee, and the authority of the command is that it can mobilize any local garrison unit of the Outer Mongolian Front west of the Ural Mountains, and be directly responsible for me and report to the work," General Vasilevsky said very dryly.

What should be done, everything has been done, you still need to wait for the difficult five days, your own million-strong army, before you can launch an attack, five days is enough, the opponent in Minusinsk, that cunning Chinese Tang Qiuli, do a lot of things, I am looking forward to the steppe of Outer Mongolia, with Tang Qiuli, who defeated several generals of the Soviet Red Army, meet with the soldiers, a big battle, I hope that this killing god who buried more than a million Red Army soldiers, will not let himself down.

General Vasilevsky's murderous gaze pierced through the blue sky, crossed the Ural Mountains, and looked at Minusinsk, where there was his opponent Tang Qiuli.

On the morning of March 10. Minusinsk, the front command of the independent division, is a little anxious and different from Vasilevsky, Tang Qiuli is obviously in a good mood, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, looking at the empty street, the city is silent and empty, under the blue sky, the Russian-style buildings covered with thick snow have a unique charm.

A heavy snowfall. In addition, Meng Qingpeng's bomber unit bought himself at least five or six days, and the actions of the Chutian special operations detachment blocked the Soviet Air Force, which had air superiority, and could not get out. Without about three weeks, the Soviets did not want to fly a single plane into the sky. I am most worried about the point. At least for now, you can ignore it and fight ground battles, how can you ever fear any opponent?

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe walked into the office and said, "Division commander, according to your orders. The Northern Flight Group Outer Mongolia Cruise Zone, where all the field airfields began, began to be evacuated, Commander Meng Qingpeng. Already led a mixed fleet formation, on the way to Pingjin. ”

Tang Qiuli retracted his gaze from afar, and said with some emotion: "This is a big move, all the equipment has to be removed, the airport runway has to be destroyed, and we can't leave anything usable for the Soviet army." ”

"In the future, it will be a huge expense, real money, I feel distressed when I think about it, Yuhe, who are we looking for for this money?" He asked, changing the subject.

Zhao Yuhe smiled and replied cleverly: "Division, anyway, you have a way, we don't have to pay for this money, it will always fall on the Soviets or the Japanese!" ”

Tang Qiuli laughed, "It's easy to say, then I'm not a ripper?" Whether it is Stalin or Hirohito, they are the masters who refuse to suffer! He said angrily.

Zhao Yuhe replied with a straight face: "Commander, whether it's Stalin or that Japanese bullshit emperor, is there less time when you are blackmailed?" ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head with a smile, and suddenly asked: "Yuhe, if you are Vasilevsky, with more than 1.6 million heavy troops in your hands, you may estimate what his offensive plan will do after we learn about it and repair the passage in the Ural Mountains?" ”

Zhao Yuhe secretly sighed that the teacher's jumping thinking is really not enough for ordinary people to keep up, but he is used to it, and after thinking about it, he replied succinctly: "It's very simple, two words 'crushing'!" ”

Tang Qiuli looked at Zhao Yuhe with interest and said, "Oh, this is a fresh idea, let's talk about it specifically, what is 'crushing'?" The tone was thoughtful and encouraging.

Zhao Yuhe also let go of his thinking and replied: "According to the comparison of the strength of the Soviet army and our army, it has reached ten to one, and the newly formed Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army alone has more than 1.6 million troops. ”

"The strength is enough, that is, Vasilevsky's confidence, he is not afraid that we will learn of his offensive plan, ambush, we can't eat the Soviet troops who entered the ambush circle in one bite, if we are not careful, we will be counter-encircled, surrounded, it is even more impossible, the strength of the two armies of the Soviet army is equivalent to our strength, so, with 1.6 million troops in hand, this person is fearless!"

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Very vivid metaphor, do you judge that Vasilevsky will not change the offensive plan?" ”

Zhao Yuhe quickly replied: "There is no need, more than one million troops, adjusting the deployment, and wasting time, from the intelligence of the Chutian detachment commander, we can see that Vasilevsky's intention is to attack Minusinsk with more than 500,000 troops of the five group armies, and attack Kulen with more than 1 million troops. ”

"At the same time, the newly formed Soviet Baikal Front, with a million troops, will also go south to attack Kulen, cut off the possibility of our army retreating eastward step by step, and join the troops of Deputy Division Commander Liu Dongzhi, and form a large triangle encirclement in the area east of the Ural Mountains and north of Kulen, with a total of more than 2.6 million Soviet troops, even if they use people, they can drown us, so Vasilevsky will not change his deployment, but will only seize time and launch an offensive as much as possible!"

After a pause, Zhao Yuhe continued: "Division commander, my judgment, Vasilevsky, I wish we were around Minusinsk, with the Soviet army of the five group armies, repeatedly fighting, it is best to be entangled here, probably the Soviets also know that you are good at using stratagems, 500,000 and more than 1 million, it is a weaker way, is this Vasilevsky's version of 'showing the enemy weak'?" ”

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "The analysis is very reasonable, if I have such a strong soldier in hand, I will not worry about what traps the opponent has, according to the established plan, attack the city, seize the target, and let go of the hands and feet to attack, Hua's 'crushing' on me, I will also use 'circumference', no matter whether he is 'showing weakness to the enemy', in the vicinity of Minusinsk, there will definitely be a battle, Yuhe, record the following order!" ”

"The 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Brigades of the Corps, the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Armored Corps, the Corps Artillery Corps, and the 1st and 2nd Air Defense Brigades are quickly assembled in a covert position towards Minusinsk, bearing in mind that the march of the troops must be at night."

"The ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth brigades immediately rushed to the eastern side of the Tangnu Mountains to set up ambushes in Chagan Naoer, Bayanleg, Hujiertu, and Buzhidu Wusu, and the specific tasks of the above four brigades were to immediately withdraw from the battlefield after setting up an ambush and striking at the vanguard of the Soviet army on the four routes, and must not be entangled with the Soviet troops.

"Deputy Division Commander Liu Zhidong commanded the troops, immediately abandoned Chita and retreated south, and returned to the western Liaoning region."

Zhao Yuhe had no opinion on the division commander's previous order, but he just ordered the Dongzhi troops to withdraw to Liaoxi, but it was incomprehensible, so Zhao Yuhe couldn't help asking: "Division commander, why did you order Deputy Division Commander Liu's troops to abandon Chita, the battlefield is currently in the western region of Outer Mongolia, and it will not affect the east for the time being, if all the Dongzhi troops withdraw to Liaoxi, we will really become a lone army!" ”

Regarding Zhao Yuhe's question, Tang Qiuli did not express his impatience, no one could understand this order, the east refers to more than 200,000 troops, in the eastern part of Outer Mongolia to Chita, can be the backup of the directly subordinate corps, once the western battlefield is unfavorable to the direct corps, to put it bluntly, Wan has always belonged to the corps was bitten by the Soviet army, and the east finger can stretch out his hand to pull a hand, the so-called "have soldiers in your hands, don't panic in your heart," this is the truth.

"Yuhe, the core gist of the Outer Mongolia campaign plan we formulated is not to fight hard with the Soviet army in the Outer Mongolia region, so the situation that the directly subordinate corps is surrounded by the Soviet army will not appear, don't forget, in addition to the two fronts of the Soviet army against us, there is also a Soviet army with more than 1.5 million troops Wai Xing'an Ridge Front, the target of the Soviet army's attack, the first to bear the brunt of the eastward troops, and then, the Japanese Kwantung Army troops."

"The East Finger Troops get out of the way and take a posture of avoiding war, the first punch of the Soviet Outer Khinganling Front will hit the Kwantung Army, we are happy to see the Soviet Army and the Japanese Kwantung Army strangled to the death, not to mention, under the pressure of the Soviet Army, Chita is an important target that the Soviet Army must capture, rather than defending the place that must be lost, why not avoid its edge and watch from the wall,"

"If the Dongzhi troops do not withdraw, even if they pay a great price, they will not be able to stop the strong advance of the Soviet army's more than 1.5 million troops, not to mention, there is also the Japanese Kwantung Army with ill intentions on the side, no one dares to guarantee that the Soviets and the Japanese will temporarily compromise and reach an agreement to jointly besiege the Dongzhi troops, with Stalin's style, he can definitely do it, so it seems that the battlefield is in the western part of Outer Mongolia, but in fact, the situation of the Dongzhi troops is even more sinister, if they do not withdraw, they are not waiting to suffer!"

Zhao Yuhe replied respectfully: "Division commander, I understand, immediately issue your orders to all troops!" ”
