In the Dingbian City, the big Yangge and gongs and drums are noisy, and the crowds are crowded in the sea of joy, Tang Qiuli completely forgot about it, the smoke of war in the distance, the desperate fight between the Japanese army and the allies on the battlefield in the southwest and Pacific Pacific, the pressure of the large-scale assembly of the Soviet army around Outer Mongolia, the war has been very far away, almost vague in memory.

Looking at his wives, glamorous as delicate flowers, with a red smile on her face, with heartfelt satisfaction and joy, bouncing like a little girl, for a while, Tang Qiuli had a feeling of excitement for his career as a horse, constantly fighting, or rather, as a member of the ordinary citizens on the streets of Dingbian, working from 9 to 5, having a lot of time, accompanying his wife and children, may not be another way of life.

On the way back, Tang Qiuli was still laughing at the mountain tiger from time to time, "Alas, have you seen it, the tiger twists Yangge'er, that's called an awkwardness, I'm watching from the side, it's like fighting a bayonet, you look at Ouyang Lan, that's called a beautiful dance, and the tiger is still moving forward vigorously!" ”

Shanhu sneered at each other, "You twisted it well, you twisted the big Yangge into a ballroom dance, and you also went to the big girl and the little daughter-in-law to make up, and you didn't look at your own two hits!" ”

Tang Qiuli looked innocent and asked Mei Ting a few of them, "Do I have it?" ”

Mei Ting, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan raised their hands together and said in unison: "Absolutely!" We've all seen it with our own eyes! ”

The mountain tiger grinned proudly, and Ouyang Lan covered her small mouth, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.

Several people laughed and laughed, Tang Qiuli and Shanhu still moved their fists and feet from time to time, just like they were as unrestrained as they were children, and when they arrived at the door of the house, a left-behind special guard greeted them, "Report to the division commander, a staff officer of the confidential group asks to see you." He said that he had important information to report to you, and he has been waiting in the living room for a long time! ”

Tang Qiu was stunned, sighed secretly, his mind immediately withdrew from the joy just now, and there was a trace of bitterness in his heart, he still couldn't get out of the war, Mei Ting, Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan immediately stopped laughing, looked at each other, and understood very well in their hearts. I'm afraid that this happy time with my husband is coming to an end!

He took Ouyang Lan with interest, and when he went to the other rooms, Shanhu accompanied Tang Qiuli and walked into the living room. See a colonel staff officer, pacing back and forth. He looked very anxious. The two telegrams from Outer Mongolia were all important information, and they were still waiting for a reply, but the division commander did not come back for a long time. I saw the division commander and Captain Huang come in together.

The staff officer of the major hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "Report to the division commander, I received an urgent telegram from Chief of Staff Zhao and the director of the intelligence department!" With that, he handed two telegrams in both hands.

Tang Qiuli took it. After a quick glance, his face immediately looked bad, the Soviet Army was massively massed west of the Ural Mountains, this is the information that has been obtained for a long time, not surprised, to be honest, the Soviet Army's build-up speed is even slower than he estimated.

However, in Zhao Yuhe's telegram, the last situation mentioned was the greatest pressure, Stalin was simply crazy, I am afraid that he took out more than two-thirds of the strength of the Soviet Air Force, pressed in the east, the two flying groups in the north and south of the independent division, all the combat aircraft combined, only more than 3,500, just over half of the Soviet combat aircraft, this is still the level of preliminary equipment, if it is in the future, I am afraid it will be more!

If it is only Zhao Yuhe's intelligence, it is impossible to judge the true situation of the Soviet army, but as soon as the intelligence of Yu Deshui is verified with each other, it shows that Stalin is ready to fight in Outer Mongolia and the Far East, and the target is not only the independent division troops, I am afraid that the Japanese Kwantung Army is also among the Soviet army's attacks, judging from the strength mobilized by the Soviet army, Stalin wants to start a war on two fronts, defeat the independent division troops, reoccupy Outer Mongolia, defeat the Japanese Kwantung Army, recover the south of the Outer Khingan Mountains, and go to the land of Vladivostok.

"Stalin this madman! Five or six thousand combat aircraft, which can cover almost all the airspace in the eastern part of the Soviet Union," Tang Qiuli muttered, his brows furrowed.

The embarrassment is that he can't take the initiative to attack first, if he attracts all of Stalin's revenge psychology to himself, that is, to have a decisive battle with the Soviet army with a huge disparity in strength, even if it wins, it is a tragic victory, all the field corps of the independent division have been put into the battlefield, and they will be greatly injured, and the old book will be exhausted, how to fight the next battle, what to do about the Australian battlefield, what to do with the Japanese Kwantung Army, will the gains outweigh the losses!

Let the Soviet army and the Japanese Kwantung Army pinch each other first, this method obviously does not work, Stalin's hatred for himself is far greater than that of the Japanese, the two wars of Outer Mongolia, the Soviet army lost in his own hands, I am afraid that it is more than one million, not counting how many strategic materials and weapons and equipment he extorted from Stalin.

Moreover, it was precisely because of the First Outer Mongolian War that the troops of the Soviet Far East Military District were inseparable from the corps directly under the Independent Division, that the Japanese Kwantung Army took advantage of the situation to take advantage of the situation, picked up a ready-made bargain, and seized Vladivostok, the only outlet of the Soviet Union in the Pacific Ocean, as well as a large area of land in the Far East, so that there are still more than 2 million Soviet troops, who are firmly tied to the line of the Outer Khingan Mountains by the Japanese Kwantung Army, and cannot get out.

The war in Outer Mongolia, in terms of purpose, was a war in which the Chinese pacified the forces of separatism, and according to international law, it belonged to China's internal affairs, but Stalin would never think so, under the strong military strength, the so-called international law is just the rules of the game formulated by the power to plunder the weak, the fist is the truth, the Georgian, better than anyone else, is also better at taking advantage of this.

It is a pity that at the moment, his fist is still not as hard as Stalin, and he will suffer a loss if he fights hard, and he will let the Japanese pick up the cheap, but the matter has not yet reached the point where it cannot be solved, as long as Hitler takes action against the Soviet Union before March, this dead knot will be solved.

Wait, all that can be done at present is to wait, to wait for the Germans to end the war in the British Isles, it is now mid-February 1942, and there are less than two months left for themselves, it seems that Hitler should add to the fire!

Tang Qiuli was thinking sharply, Shan Hu and the major staff officer waited quietly in the living room, for a long time, Tang Qiuli raised his head, his eyes flashed, and said: "Confidential group, call back to Chief of Staff Zhao, closely monitor the movements of the Soviet army west of the Ural Mountains, and carry out strategic contraction of the troops that advance to Minusinsk, avoid conflict with the Soviet army, and all troops in Outer Mongolia will enter a state of combat readiness." ”

"In addition, all engineer units were dispatched to place explosives in the vast area east of the Ural Mountains, on all bridges, main roads, ferries, and other facilities, and troops were dispatched to guard them day and night.

"Calling back to the director of the intelligence department, the main task before the intelligence department is to find out the number, equipment, troop establishment, commander's name and other information of the Soviet troops, and in addition, the situation of the 1st Flying Army of the Soviet Air Force in the Far East is also listed as a key reconnaissance target."

"Order, the commander of the Chutian detachment of the special operations detachment, immediately dispatch a capable detachment to the west of the Ural Mountains of the Soviet Union to reconnoiter the field airfield being built by the Soviet army, its location and other details, and the reconnaissance mission should be completed in early March."

Tang Qiuli also planned well, in case around mid-March, the Germans did not make a move against the Soviet Union, or if the war in the British Isles had not ended, then he would have to fight a few big battles with the Soviet army, and he would not be able to hide.

After recording the order, the staff officer left in a hurry, Tang Qiuli looked at the mountain tiger and said with a wry smile: "Huzi, it seems that our good days in Dingbian are almost over!" ”

The mountain tiger said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, isn't it just a war, what day will it go?" ”

Tang Qiuli thought for a moment and said, "Let's finish the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it will be in early February at the latest!" ”

The Spring Festival of Dingbian, starting from the 23rd day of the lunar month of the previous year, to the 15th Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, the flavor of the year is still very strong, the day of the Lantern Festival, for the people living on the Loess Plateau, it is a heavy festival that is not inferior to the first day of the first lunar month.

During the day, people want to go out of the city to watch the performance of 10,000 Yangge across the street, and at night, they also have to carry out a series of entertainment activities such as watching the lantern exhibition, jumping over the fire, turning the nine-song lantern array, praying for a safe year and a bumper harvest of grains and prosperity, but Tang Qiuli didn't have the heart to go out for a stroll, locked himself in the house, looked at the large military map of Outer Mongolia, wrenched his painstaking thinking, predicted what might happen to them, and began to formulate two sets of battle plans.

He had to make preparations with both hands, if the German army started on time, this game of chess in Outer Mongolia would be full of life, and everything would be carried out according to his own ideas, but in case Hitler released his own pigeons, with the mentality of picking up cheap, he postponed the time of attacking the Soviet Union to April and May, and when he and the Soviets were inseparable, he would make another move, and it would be inevitable to fight with more than 4 million Soviet troops, and he would give up the Outer Mongolia region without firing a shot, and he could not afford to lose.

Although Tang Qiuli firmly believed that whether it was a comprehensive analysis of the known history or the situation in the present world, the situation of himself being released by Hitler was very small, but it was undoubtedly the most foolish to pin a war that would decide the fate of the Outer Mongolia region and the independent division on the Germans.

In all fairness, if this matter is put on oneself, in Hitler's position, in the face of the fact that nearly half of the Soviet army is moving southward and the fact that the troops in the European direction are empty, they will be quite moved, and they will not let the Soviet army fight with themselves inextricably, and the psychology of picking up cheap, that is nonsense!

"Bang bang bang!" There was a gentle knock on the door, Tang Qiuli's train of thought was interrupted, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
