Chapter Two Thousand and Sixty-Three: A Belated Telegram
On the night of April 9th, in the southern part of Outer Mongolia, the important town of Saiyin Shanda, Tang Qiu sat in the house for more than two hours, the northwest wind outside the window, more and more poignant whistling, stratus clouds heavy, want to suppress low, and then look at the night sky outside the window, there are already messy snow flakes, stars falling from the night sky, but the northwest wind blows everywhere, the trail is uncertain.
The cow dung fire in the stove has burned out, only embers remain, and there is still a little red light, the temperature in the house is no longer hot, but some cold feelings, but Tang Qiuli's heart has been rolling a fire, as time passes, the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart become more and more intense.
After taking a sip of the tea that had been pulled out of the cold, looking at his watch, the hour hand had already pointed to midnight on April 10, Tang Qiuli secretly smiled bitterly, "I was still released by Hitler, sure enough, except for my own army, no one else can count on it, but even if the date of the German attack on the Soviet Union is postponed, Hitler should have an explanation, until now, there has been no news, what is going on?" He thought to himself.
Can't wait any longer, the troops hidden on both flanks of the Soviet army should immediately make deployment adjustments, prepare to meet the Soviet army, a big battle in Saiyinshanda, it is still unavoidable, ridiculous, the previous self, is still full of confidence, thinking that a qiē is under his control, "Yuhe!" Yuwa! Tang Qiuli shouted his chief of staff.
Zhao Yuhe was in the room of the staff office next door, and together with the director Ge Zhenzhuang, he studied the deployment of the Soviet army.
Hearing the division commander's shout, Zhao Yuhe hurriedly pushed the door in, "Division commander." Is there anything you can do? He asked.
Tang Qiuli let out a long breath, as if he was exhaling the depression in his heart, and a trace of loss and chagrin flashed in his calm eyes, and said: "Yuhe, the Germans can't count on it, prepare to fight the Soviet army, and convey my order......"
Before he finished speaking, the division pointed to Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, and broke in. Probably the matter was so urgent that even the knock on the door was omitted, "Division commander, the Germans have sent a telegram, and the original plan is carried out!" Chen Feng's tone. With a hint of trembling, he knew. For this telegram. The division commander and the chief of staff were anxiously waiting, it was related to the change in the battle situation, and Chen Feng had never seen the division commander so restless.
Tang Qiuli closed his eyes and calmed down his turbulent feelings. It seemed as if a window had opened in my heart, and endless fresh air poured in together, all the anxiety and restlessness. It came to naught in an instant, and after a long time, he jokingly said: "Hitler, this madman, is really calm, he is testing my patience, perhaps, more looking for psychological balance!" As he spoke, he took the telegram in his hand.
"My old friend, when you read this telegram, our German troops of more than six million are already on the Polish side of the Polish-Soviet border, making all the preparations before the attack, the time of the attack reported last time remains unchanged, I ask my old friend's forgiveness, until a few hours before the attack is launched, I will officially inform you, the fate of Germany is at stake, I have to be cautious, before the attack is launched, we must confirm that the Russians have no preparations and precautions."
"Now it seems that the time has come for the Barbarossa plan to mature, and this opportunity is created by an old friend under extremely difficult circumstances, for this, I am very grateful in my heart, the great German army, the moment it begins to attack, the pattern of the world, will be completely changed, in the eastern battlefield, there will also be opportunities in favor of old friends, your long-cherished wish can also be realized, let us together with excitement and uneasiness, together look forward to the arrival of the big event that will change the world!"
"My General Staff will keep you informed of the situation on the Russian battlefield, and you know that the German army has no secrets before you, and likewise I want to share the joy of victory with my old friend, your old friend Adolf? Hitler. ”
"Hitler of the dog day, learn to hang your appetite! What the fuck! After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli felt a little crying and laughing, and couldn't help but burst out of his mouth with a few foul words, and then, feeling weak, he sat back on the chair, and after a long time of nervousness and waiting, after slackening, he actually felt like he was prostration.
Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng hurriedly stepped forward and asked eagerly, "Master, are you okay?" ”
Tang Qiuli waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it's just a normal reaction, this dog's day Hitler has caused me to worry for a night!" After speaking, they laughed to themselves, Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng could feel that there was an indescribable ease in the laughter of the division commander.
After laughing, Tang Qiuli's face became stern, his eyes flashed with jumping flames, and he said: "Yuhe, Director Chen, the Germans will attack the Soviet Union on time, and the war situation in Outer Mongolia and the Far East will undergo heavy changes, and the commander will command all departments and personnel, from now on, immediately enter the combat state!" ”
"Order, Deputy Division Commander Liu's eastward command troops, immediately march towards the Chita area, the purpose, to flank and delay the retreating Soviet troops in the area, but not to engage in deep battles, and at the same time, to pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese Kwantung Army."
"Order, Yuan Jinghao's North China Field Corps, leave the current station, fully equipped, and immediately go to the battlefield in western Liaoning, the corps is assigned to the command of Feng Jiwu, commander of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, in addition, the troops of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps in the Saiyinshanda battlefield will be immediately returned to the back formation."
"Order, Sun Zhenbang's Outer Mongolia Field Corps, the 11th and 12th Brigades of the directly subordinate corps, and the armored corps of Batel, at 5 o'clock this morning, will leave the Seyinshanda defense line and advance first towards Altan Hille, and the combat targets are the three group army units of the Soviet vanguard in the area, and the specific time for launching the attack is waiting for the order of the division headquarters."
"Order, all units of Liu Cuigang's Northern Flying Group will carry out large-scale air raids and bombardments against the retreating Soviet troops in Outer Mongolia and the Far East from 7 o'clock this morning, and the specific campaign deployment will be determined by Liu Cuigang himself, and my only request is to make it very difficult for the Soviet troops to retreat."
"Order, the 1st to 10th Brigades of the Corps directly under the Soviet Union Outer Mongolian Front, lurking on both flanks of the Soviet Outer Mongolian Front, immediately approach the Soviet troops in concealment, flank and pin down the retreat of the Soviet troops, and demand that the brigades not attack the Soviet troops in depth and avoid frontal combat with the retreating Soviet troops."
Tang Qiuli said an order, Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng recorded one, and then, Zhao Yuhe explained a few words to Chen Feng, and Chen Feng hurriedly went out and gave orders to various troops.
After Chen Feng left, Zhao Yuhe frowned slightly, thinking for a few words, and after ten minutes, he said: "Division commander, I don't have any opinions on the overall campaign deployment, but there is one thing I'm more worried about!" ”
Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh! - Yuhe, if you have anything to worry about, just say it! ”
Zhao Yuhe sorted out his thoughts and said: "Division commander, Deputy Division Commander Liu's Dongzhi troops, the direction of the advance is Chita in the Far East, which is the only way for the Soviet army to retreat, the Soviet army on the front line in the Far East has more than 4 million troops on three fronts, and the troops in the east are only more than 600,000 people at best, if the East Finger occupies Chita, the Soviet army will definitely do its best to pull out the nail of the East Finger in order to retreat as much as possible!" ”
"The difference in strength is too great, it is extremely dangerous for the East Command troops, after the Germans make a move on the eastern border of the Soviet Union, Stalin will inevitably strictly order the Soviet troops in the Far East to leave the battlefield as soon as possible at any cost, therefore, my opinion is whether the East Command troops will march to the Chita area after the Soviet troops begin to retreat, and adopt the method of tail pursuit, how many Soviet troops can be left, do our best, we don't need to pay a great price to drag the Soviet army for the Germans!"
"Hahaha-!" Tang Qiuli laughed, pointed at Zhao Yuhe, a cunning look flashed in his eyes, and said: "Yuhe, if you care, it's chaotic, you forgot, we are in the Far East, and there are helpers, Deputy Division Commander Liu's troops, but not their own family is fighting!" ”
"Helper......?" Zhao Yuhe was very puzzled, as far as he knew, in the Far East, all the troops of the independent division had withdrawn to the country, and several corps deployed on the northern border line had their own tasks, and the direction was not in the Far East, where did the helper come from, Mo Fei, the division commander was in the Far East, and there was still a strange army hidden, but as the chief of staff, why didn't he know at all?
Looking at Zhao Yuhe frowning and thinking hard, with a confused face, Tang Qiuli lit a cigarette, spit out the smoke comfortably, and said slowly: "Deputy Division Commander Liu's helper is the Japanese Kwantung Army!" ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, Zhao Yuhe patted his head with a sudden realization, and said, "Yes, yes! It was the Japanese Kwantung Army, more than 4 million Soviet troops surrounded the Kwantung Army, and fought for more than ten days in a row, the Kwantung Army must have suffered heavy losses, which can be described as a great loss of vitality, with the character of the Japanese, this time they suffered a big loss, how could they let go of the opportunity to seize the opportunity of the Soviet army's eagerness to retreat, and after relieving their breath, they must be revenge without dying, twisting the Soviet army to stalk and fight, and let out this evil breath in their hearts. ”
"The war on the Eastern Front is full of war, the military situation is urgent, Stalin must have urged one telegram after another, but Zhukov, who has no intention of fighting, wants to leave, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, the Japanese Kwantung Army is now like a mad dog that has been beaten to the point that its backbone is about to break, seize the opportunity, and don't bite or say it!" Speaking of this, Zhao Yuhe laughed with himself, "This helper will work very hard!" He added.
Tang Qiuli nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, that's the truth, moreover, the Dongzhi troops are approaching the Chita line, the threat to the Soviet army is greater, there is a possibility of a cutter retreat, Stalin will be forced to sit at the negotiating table, otherwise, I won't let Zhukov go, at least, it won't be easy to go!" ”
