Chapter Two Thousand One Hundred and Eight: What Are the Little Devils Doing?
The battle to seize Kulen, steady and steady, gradually advancing, although it is safe, but the strange soldiers flew over, surprised, and once again implemented a long-distance roundabout outflanking, which can create the most favorable opportunity for the future battle of Kulen, the 35th Army of the Soviet Army, a total of only three infantry corps, in the area outside Kulen, was killed two, the remaining one army, how to hold on to the huge Kulen, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps only needs one-third of the troops, can be captured lightly.
The other troops that were freed up, Tang Qiuli had to be used as the general reserve of the two major battlefields in Outer Mongolia and the Far East, and he knew in his heart that he had no soldiers in his hands, of course, Tang Qiuli would not directly pick out this point, since he let Sun Zhenbang command, he should let him understand the subtlety of this battle.
Seeing Sun Zhenbang in deep thought, his eyes kept changing colors, Battle's eyes flashed with a light of thought, and nodded slightly, obviously, he understood the gist of it, Tang Qiuli knew that his worries were unnecessary.
Sure enough, Sun Zhenbang raised his head, glanced at Battle, and said in a calm tone: "Division commander, I understand, time is pressing, Commander Ba and I immediately rushed back to the troops, deployed the operation, and the detailed plan of the campaign, and then reported to the division headquarters, division commander, we will leave!" ”
At this moment, two cooks, carrying fragrant and steaming meals, walked in behind Zhao Yuhe, Tang Qiuli said humorously: "Since the meal is ready, it's not too late to leave after eating, I don't care about this effort, if you go back to the army hungry, in the future, you two won't say I'm stingy, eat, hurry up, the emperor is not hungry!" ”
A few people burst into laughter. Inside the house, there was an active and happy air, Tang Qiuli had already finished eating, where he was sitting, watching the two of them eat very slowly, thinking about it, he seemed to say casually: "Battle, the German army has a unique way in the use of armored clusters. In particular, the long-distance rapid assault of the armored cluster, throwing off the enemy on the opposite side and penetrating directly into the rear of the enemy army, can be called a classic, and it is indeed commendable! ”
Battle swallowed a mouthful of food. Smiling slightly, he knew. What my brother meant by these words. In his tone, he said confidently: "Division commander, I already have a mature armored cluster rapid assault battle plan, and after I go back and study with Commander Sun, I will start immediately!" ”
Tang Qiuli smiled with relief and didn't say a word. "My brother is mature!" He secretly thought with emotion, patted Battle on the shoulder, and stopped the two from getting up to send each other off, together with Zhao Yuhe. Out of the headquarters, I stayed by their side, and the two of them were too restrained and uncomfortable to eat!
Ten minutes later, Tang Qiuli, who was standing on the street of Delun, saw the armored command vehicle that Sun Zhenbang and Batel were riding, bringing up bursts of smoke and dust, and quickly left Delun, the Battle of Kulun, there was no place to worry about himself, after the northern battle of Seyin Shanda, the pursuit battle along the way, and the experience of the Gurban Saihan Resistance Battle, Sun Zhenbang was already able to command a large-scale battle alone, and Batel assisted from the side.
As for the six brigades of the Corps directly under the Soviet Union that are behind the buttocks of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front, there is no need to worry, those brigade commanders are all masters who have become good at fighting and can only take advantage of the situation and do not suffer losses, knowing the advance and retreat and the severity, not to mention, Vasilevsky's eagerness to get out of the Outer Mongolia battlefield is his biggest weakness, and he has no time to turn around and bite back.
Tang Qiuli's gaze passed through the southern part of Outer Mongolia, the ice blue sky, looked at the far east, and his thinking turned to the Far East battlefield, the Far East battlefield, except for the Kwantung Army and Zhukov's Far Eastern Front, which fought fiercely, other regions were still in a state of calm for the time being.
The Soviet Army's Outer Khinganling Front and the Baikal Front are rapidly advancing in the direction of the Ural Mountains, and the two units of the Japanese Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean Zhutun Army have not seen any action after entering the Far East, Liu Tiehan's East Command Army, Yuan Jinghao's North China Field Corps, and Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps have temporarily retreated from the Soviet Army on both sides, and there are still a few days to go.
Compared with the battlefield of Outer Mongolia, the Far Eastern battlefield is dull, and the Japanese have made a move, but in addition to the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Far Eastern Front, the other two Japanese troops, after leaving the northeast, why did they not move? "What are the Japanese thinking? What's next? It's hard to figure out! Tang Qiuli frowned, thinking.
If, according to normal understanding, the Japanese received information that the Soviet troops in the Far East were in a hurry to withdraw, this was a rare opportunity, and at the critical moment, the Soviets would never entangle, and they could completely adopt the style of fighting directly under the corps, chase after them closely, and take a bite when they see the opportunity, and before the Soviet troops completely withdrew to the west of the Ural Mountains, they could bite off a few pieces of meat on millions of Soviet troops.
The Kwantung Army was beaten so badly by the Soviet army, broken bones, and almost lost his life, and there was a chance not to retaliate, it was not the character and practice of the Japanese, "Could it be that the reason why the Japanese troops on the two routes were following the retreating Soviet troops and not doing anything was that they were waiting for Liu Tiehan's troops to fight with the Soviet army first, and then, the Japanese took the opportunity to pick up the cheap, maybe, and had the idea of biting the troops of the independent division!" Tang Qiuli's heart suddenly gave rise to a sense of vigilance.
I revealed the information about the retreat of the Soviet army to the intelligence office of Deshui and learned that it was under the guò of using the Japanese as gunmen, and on the other hand, the Japanese would not have such a plan, the Japanese are not stupid, ignoring the cunning and insidiousness of that nation, they will suffer a big loss!
Tang Qiu couldn't help but smile bitterly, he and the Japanese, both have the idea of letting the other party fight first, the cheapest one can only be the Soviet army, however, his own side did not suffer, thinking of this, he called over a staff officer, said: "The record, immediately sent to Deputy Division Commander Liu, Brother Tie Han, the Far East battlefield, the whereabouts of the Japanese army's two troops are unknown, if before April 23, the Japanese army has not had a substantial offensive action against the Soviet army on the way to retreat, then our troops on the Chita line in the Far East can get out of the way to the main communication channel, Mainly flanking and harassing. ”
"It's a big deal to let the Soviet army pass, Hitler can't take advantage of it without paying a price, and drive back the Soviet army in the western battlefield of the Soviet Union, let the Germans deal with it!" Thinking about it like this, Tang Qiuli's mood was a lot easier, and after thinking about it, he wouldn't suffer a loss.
Tang Qiuli, who was in Delun, south of Kulun, Outer Mongolia, couldn't figure out the actions and thoughts of the Japanese, but in the hearts of the Japanese, a bigger plan was brewing.
The Soviet army was anxious to evacuate the intelligence of the eastern battlefield, the military intelligence bureau of the Japanese army's base camp, and the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army all got a copy, at first, the Japanese were full of suspicions about this information, and things were full of weirdness, seeing that the Kwantung Army was half-crippled, with the methods and consistent style of Zhukov, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Army's Eastern Forces, they would not give up halfway, and the Far Eastern Front and the Korean Zhutun Army, which rushed to support the Japanese from top to bottom, and even the starry night, were ready to collect the corpses of the Kwantung Army.
Zhukov, commander of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, fought against the Kwantung Army for two or three years on the front line of the Outer Khingan Mountains, and the Japanese army base camp never dared to despise the ability and command talent of this Soviet general.
And the generals headed by Prince Zaihito Miyaji, chief of the general staff of the base camp, are more inclined to think that this is a trap of the Soviets, but they can't explain why Zhukov played such a trap? What is the purpose?
Against the Kwantung Army? Is it necessary to deal with the Far Eastern Dispatch Army that is rushing to the Far Eastern Battlefield, or the troops of the Korean Residence Army, to consume the troops of the Great Japanese Empire in the Far East and even the potential military strength that can be used for operations in the Far East in the future, so as to clear the way for the next step of invading Manchuria?
If this is the case, then this Zhukov is insidious and vicious enough, and the authenticity of this information must be confirmed, so the Japanese intelligence organs used all channels to confirm the source and authenticity of the intelligence in many ways, and even the spies who had been hidden for many years began to recover.
Just when the Japanese were busy with this sudden intelligence, a piece of information from a high-ranking Japanese spy in Moscow solved all the mysteries, and the intelligence was a sentence, "The Germans launched an attack on the Soviet Union on all fronts at dawn on April 10!" "The date of the intelligence was April 12, that is, two days after the outbreak of the Soviet-German war, the news of the German attack spread in the Soviet Union.
Looking at this piece of information, Emperor Hirohito was filled with joy and sorrow, and there was no need to verify the authenticity of the information on the sudden retreat of the Soviet troops in the Far East, the Germans attacked the Soviet Union on a large scale, and most of the Soviet troops were in Outer Mongolia and the Far East, fighting against the troops of the devil Tang Qiuli and the troops of the Kwantung Army, Stalin was eager to transfer troops back to help, therefore, Zhukov preferred to give up the victory that was about to be in hand, and had to withdraw his troops.
From another point of view, the German offensive made Stalin unbearable, and it was important to transfer troops back to save his life, which meant that the Kwantung Army could escape from death, "Amaterasu's favor will not lose the Kwantung Army!" Facing the statue of Amaterasu, Emperor Hirohito's face flushed, his eyes lit up, he said with emotion, and prayed with his palms together.
Also, since more than 4 million Soviet troops launched a fierce offensive in the Far East, the situation of the Kwantung Army has become a boulder pressed on the chest of His Majesty the Emperor.
