The officials around Sheng Shicai, a burst of chanting, Sheng Shicai has not many opportunities to entertain, all year round, eating the big guy's line, eating his old man's house, is more difficult than cutting meat on the body, think about it, just now I was ready to run away, in the blink of an eye, the dark clouds dispersed, the sun was shining, and the ups and downs of life were nothing more than this, Sheng Supervisor was happy, of course everyone followed the relaxation, and a group of officials, laughing and laughing, got into the car and walked away.

Sheng Shicai, who was in a good mood, had just stepped out of the car when he received a report from the chief of staff of the Office of the Governor, "Chen Bing's Northwest Five Horse Troops on the front line of Hami had already evacuated Xingxing Gorge and returned to their original station 30 minutes ago. ”

"The letter is on the cloud, the long-distance pull of the five horses is based on the order of Vice Chairman Tang of the Military Commission of the National Government, to practice the coordination and mobility capabilities of the various military joint defense departments in the northwest, the purpose is to exercise the actual combat ability of the local troops in the five northwest provinces, and prepare to resist the Soviet army's attack on the northwest.

Sheng Shicai pursed his lips and said in his heart: "Go to the grave to burn newspapers and fool ghosts?" The five horses in the northwest can have this kind of knowledge, besides, with the family background of a few of them, they don't dare to be presumptuous on the ground in Xinjiang, isn't it just that Tang Qiuli is behind their backs, what kind of training troops, nonsense, it's not to put pressure on themselves! ”

However, it is best for the five horses in the northwest to withdraw their troops, and they have pulled out a thorn in their hearts, otherwise, they will not leave at the junction of Xinjiang and Gansu, and Sheng Shicai will be helpless, people are acting on orders, Xinjiang is still in the territory of the Republic of China, and the official face cannot come up with a reason to ask for the withdrawal of troops, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers from other forces are around, and they may pounce on them when they will come. Take a bite and sleep soundly?

That night, the most luxurious hotel in Dihua was full of friends, and there were people with heads and faces in Dihua City, and bigwigs from all walks of life in the military and government attended the banquet of the Sheng Supervisor, and Sheng Shicai, who was the protagonist of the banquet. In the midst of the most flattering words, he was drunk.

On the battlefield of Saiyinshanda in southern Outer Mongolia, some changes took place, and more than 500,000 troops of the three group armies of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front braved the wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of Liu Cuigang's bomber and fighter groups of the Northern Flying Group. The forced march was carried out at about 8 a.m. on 9 April, regardless of casualties. It is more than 140 kilometers away from the first line of defense on the periphery of Saiyinshanda. At the current pace of the Soviet army's march, on the evening of April 10, it would be possible to exchange fire with the defenders of the first line of defense of the independent division.

When the news reached Seyin Shanda, the atmosphere immediately became tense in the headquarters of the independent division, and the division commander Tang Qiuli was in the office. Talk to the Mountain Tiger and Chutian who are back in the army.

On the plane back to Saiyin Shanda, Shanhu pondered all the way, and also figured out a little taste, probably think. I was a little reckless this time, so after returning to the headquarters, without waiting for Tang Qiuli to stare at him, he beckoned a few special guards and moved the gold given by Sheng Shicai into Tang Qiuli's office without a bad box.

"Report to the division commander, Huang Shanhu, the captain of the guard brigade, after the mission of the rescue special operations detachment has been completed, he will return to the team along with the military salary that has raised three hundred and fifty taels of gold for the troops, please accept it with a smile!" The mountain tiger said with a grin, completely ignoring Tang Qiuli's tense face.

Chu Tian is not as casual as the mountain tiger, he lowered his head and followed behind the mountain tiger without saying a word, he was already mentally prepared to be trained, or removed from his post for investigation, and he was planning to kill Sheng Shicai, not to mention, even if he was surrounded in Kazakhstan this time, it was enough for the division to be angry!

Tang Qiuli stared at Shanhu and Chutian, he didn't speak for a long time, from the bottom of his heart, he really didn't know how to say it, at this moment, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe hurriedly came in, "Division commander, I received a report from the reconnaissance unit, the three group armies of the Soviet army have more than 500,000 troops, regardless of the air raid of the Northern Flying Group, and have now advanced to the area of Altanshire, which is still more than 140 kilometers away from the first line of defense of our army!" ”

Tang Qiuli retracted his gaze staring at Shanhu and Chu Tian, and said viciously: "Wait until you have the time to clean up the two of you, Chu Tian, don't poke here, hurry back to the troops, hurry up and rest, and wait for my order!" ”

The mountain tiger didn't care, but Chu Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "This violent training is to avoid it!" He secretly rejoiced, and after hurriedly saluting, he quickly slipped away, and the mountain tiger also ran away with a secret smile.

In the office, Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe were left, and in the other rooms, the electric key "Tick-tock!" The sound added a little tension to the atmosphere.

Tang Qiuli asked: "Yuhe, the Soviet troops that advanced to the area of Altanshire did not follow with heavy equipment?" Were there any armored units following? How long will it take to get close to our first line of defense? ”

Zhao Yuhe looked through the information in his hand and replied: "The situation is like this, according to the report of the reconnaissance troops, the Soviet troops who forcibly marched left a large number of heavy equipment in the rear, because Commander Liu's troops had intensive air raids, and the Soviet tank troops suffered heavy losses, and they did not keep up with the pace of the infantry. ”

Tang Qiuli looked at the military map of Outer Mongolia, did not speak for a long time, his eyes flashed with the light of thought, his face was calm, it seemed that this news did not have a big impact on him, or rather, more than 500,000 Soviet troops were approaching, which was expected by him.

Zhao Yuhe was a little anxious, and said: "Division commander, the current position of the vanguard of the Soviet army happens to be within the range of the combined attack of the first to sixth brigades of the directly subordinate corps, I think that the troops should be ordered to launch a surprise attack on the Soviet army this night to slow down the advance of the Soviet army, and in addition, the armored troops should be dispatched to give the Soviet army a head-on attack in the area of Altanshire!" ”

"The Soviet army has no armored troops and heavy equipment to follow, and we also have the cooperation of aviation troops, which is an excellent opportunity to hit the Soviet army, otherwise, when the follow-up troops of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front arrive, there will be no such good opportunity!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head lightly, and said flatly: "The first brigade to the sixth brigade will not move, and order Liu Cuigang's Northern Flying Group to focus on air attacks on the troops of the three group armies of the Soviet Army, and the troops of the six brigades of the Niangziguan garrison corps on the first line of defense will retreat to the second line of defense!" ”

Zhao Yuhe was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Division commander, no, behind the second line of defense, less than forty kilometers, is Saiyin Shanda, we are not in the first line of defense to frustrate the spirit of the Soviet army, the battle behind is not easy to fight!" ”

The corners of Tang Qiuli's mouth, with a hint of playful smile, said: "Yuhe, I said that the battle of Saiyin Shanda may not be able to be fought, but now I look at it, it must not be able to be fought, okay Yuhe, there is no fuss, the Soviet army is in a hurry to advance, we will give way, we can't fight with them, convey the order to go!" ”

Zhao Yuhe still wanted to insist on his opinion, but looking at the face of the division commander, it was peaceful but undoubted, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, he couldn't guess the real intention of the division commander, why was it so sure, Saiyin Shanda couldn't fight, could it be related to what the division commander once said, the actions of the Germans?

Zhao Yuhe left with a stomach full of doubts, and in the house, Tang Qiu was left to leave him, with the cold north wind, rolling up the dead leaves and withered grass, whirling and dancing aimlessly in the yard, it was already early April, and the Outer Mongolian prairie was still cold, without a little spring breath.

The day that can change the general pattern of the world is coming soon, it is now more than 9 o'clock in the morning of April 9, and the time when Hitler decided to do something to the Soviets is the dawn of April 10, which is the same as recorded in history, the difference is that the date of the attack was postponed for a whole year, and it was not June 22 in history, but it was advanced to April 10.

According to the normal situation, tonight, no later than midnight, the German General Staff will, in accordance with Hitler's orders, send a top-secret telegram to itself, informing it of the specific time of the attack, so just wait patiently!

Therefore, the more than 500,000 troops of the three Soviet armies approached the vicinity of Seyinshanda, Tang Qiuli did not take it to heart, time was not on the side of the Soviets, and the sound of artillery at dawn on April 10 would pull all the Soviet troops in the east back to the European direction, otherwise, Stalin could only abandon the European part and escape.

Hitler's action against the Soviets not only avoided a major war, but also brought a ray of life to the Japanese Kwantung Army, which was in a desperate situation, otherwise, under the siege of more than 4 million Soviet troops, the Kwantung Army would not have been able to hold out for a few days.

Tang Qiuli's combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army is still very commendable, it was attacked from all sides, and it can still hold on to the present, quite a bit of bravery, with Tang Qiuli's idea, it is best that Zhukov can defeat the Japanese Kwantung Army to the annihilation, and then the battle to recover the Northeast will be much easier, however, the Soviet army will never have a chance if it does not clean up the Japanese Kwantung Army this evening, and Stalin will transfer all his troops back with the sound of the artillery of the Soviet-German war.

At this moment, Tang Qiuli's mood is very happy, the pattern of the Far East is being realized step by step in accordance with his own ideas, the layout of the previous few years, until today, there are some gains, as for the subsequent war against the Japanese Kwantung Army, there are not too many obstacles, the Japanese Kwantung Army is already a dog with a broken backbone, even if it is lucky not to be wiped out by Zhukov this time, it will be a heavy loss, and its vitality will be greatly damaged.

"It seems that I have to thank Stalin for taking action, creating convenient conditions for recovering the Northeast in the future, and competing with the Soviet Army and the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Outer Mongolia region and the Far East, and finally picking up the cheapest ones!" Thinking of this, Tang Qiuli smiled calmly, looked through the sky, and looked at the Far Eastern battlefield where the Soviet army and the Japanese Kwantung Army were fighting.
