Hearing Chu Tian's question, Tang Qiuli looked up at him and said with a little bitterness: "It's very bad, under the calm surface, there is a turbulent undercurrent, the situation in the entire Outer Mongolia region is like a powder keg, religious forces, the forces of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, the forces of separatists, and the forces of the old princes and nobles are gathered together, involving all aspects of the Outer Mongolia region. ”

"The relationship is complicated, especially when it comes to religious forces, if it is not handled properly, it will cause large-scale riots, so, Chutian, when the troops directly under the corps do not arrive at the designated position, all the actions of your special operations detachment must not light the fuse in advance, and control the sergeant training brigade to stabilize the first priority, I hope you can know this in your heart!"

Chu Tian nodded, his mood was also a little heavy, he originally thought that it was not important, even an easy task, in his heart, became heavy, if only these separatists were arrested, with the special operations detachment's su zhì and actual combat experience, it was similar to catching a chicken, and now, listening to the division commander's words, he was still a little underestimated the enemy, and underestimated the grim situation in Outer Mongolia.

Thinking of this, Chu Tian couldn't sit still, got up and said: "Division commander, I understand the specific task and understand the division commander's intentions, I want to rush back to the army station immediately, hold a military meeting, carefully arrange, and deploy strictly, division commander, there is no other task, I will leave first!" ”

Chu Tian and Shanhu went out together, looking at the backs of the two, the corners of Tang Qiuli's mouth hung a knowing smile, it seems that his purposeful beating has had a great effect, looking at Chu Tian's anxious posture, I am afraid that after returning to the army, it will be given to all the special combat personnel. Pour a basin of cold water and let them put away their hearts of contempt for the enemy, and their goal can be regarded as achieved.

On the afternoon of September 15, the office of Stalin, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet High Command and Chairman of the Council of Ministers, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU in Moscow, Moscow, the Kremlin, was decorated in a simple and atmospheric manner. In the Georgian-style office, there were only five people, Soviet leader Stalin, People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Molotov, chairman of the All-Soviet Anti-Counter-Committee Beria (i.e., Cheka. predecessor of the KGB), Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army. Colonel-General Besovsky, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Soviet Army.

Placed in front of five people. The Consul General of the Soviet Consulate General in Kulen, Kukkiev, sent an urgent secret telegram from Kulen, the content of the secret telegram, is Ukraine? Enkhtub Singh and Le? The two of them were provided with the situation in the Outer Mongolian region in front of them.

He glanced at the four people who were thinking about their hearts, and took a sharp puff of his pipe. Pale blue smoke, which enveloped the expressionless face of the Soviet leader, Stalin, in a thick Georgian accent, said: "Comrades. Kukkiyev sent the latest information about the Outer Mongolian region, the original plan had changed, and the sympathizers of the Outer Mongolian Independent League for the development of the Chinese army were suddenly called together to participate in the training brigade of the sergeants. ”

"This sudden change has affected our military operations to recover the Outer Mongolian region, if we do not make the Chinese troops in the Outer Mongolia region fall into chaos from the inside, then the Soviet Red Army will have to face one battle after another, and in a short period of time, it will not be possible to completely solve the Outer Mongolia problem, once the main force of the Chinese Tang Qiuli is reinforced, the Soviet Red Army will inevitably fall into a long and bitter battle, and in the current international situation, we are not allowed to do this, nor are we allowed to be in the Outer Mongolia region, Invest too much troops and time.

"We have summoned you to a meeting today to discuss this issue, and we must make a decision on whether to start acting immediately, or whether to wait for the comrades of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party to come with news in our favor before taking action?"

This is a very difficult question to answer; according to the intention of Stalin and the Soviet high-level people present, of course, they should immediately occupy Outer Mongolia and drive out the Chinese army, but for them the great war a few years ago, it can be said that it is still fresh in their memory and a profound lesson, and Tang Qiuli's independent division is not the Beiyang government army, nor Zhang Zuolin's Northeast Army, but an army that is well-equipped, well-trained, and has strong combat effectiveness, and has caused the Soviet Red Army to suffer great losses.

Seeing that no one had answered his question and no one had raised the question, Stalin knew what the reason was, so he called him by name: "Comrade Petroshilov, the situation that your General Staff has in possession, has the troops of the Transcaucasian Military District been deployed on the line of the Soviet-Mongolian border?" If an offensive is launched immediately, do you think the Soviet Red Army will be able to destroy the Chinese army in Outer Mongolia before Tang Qiuli's main forces are reinforced? ”

Since the leader named him, Marshal Petroshilov, who is the chief of the General Staff, could not avoid it, he pondered for a while, and replied: "Comrade Stalin, the troops of the Transcaucasian Military District have been largely deployed, the main forces are concentrated along the Soviet-Mongolian border, a small part of the troops are on the Baikal line, and a total of 15 infantry divisions have been dispatched, of which 12 divisions are in the main direction of attack and 3 divisions are on the Baikal line. ”

"Most of the troops we have deployed are mechanized infantry divisions, which have the ability to quickly assault, but the terrain conditions in Outer Mongolia limit the movement of our mechanized troops, so I can frankly say that it is impossible to completely annihilate the existing Chinese army in Outer Mongolia without a month, although our enemy is only a second-rate army."

Stalin frowned, he knew that the chief of the General Staff Petroshilov was telling the truth, although it was not very good, the existing Chinese army in Outer Mongolia could gradually withdraw south after the Soviet Red Army began to attack, resist step by step, and move closer to the Sino-Mongolian border area, as long as it could resist the previous waves of attacks of the Soviet Red Army, it would be able to wait for reinforcements, which was not difficult for the Chinese army, according to intelligence, they were all cavalry troops.

Putting aside this topic, Stalin then asked: "How is the recent reconnaissance situation of our air force's reconnaissance planes, and they have not found any signs of the abnormal movement of the Chinese troops, to be precise, Tang Qiuli's main force from Chinese mainland to the Outer Mongolia region?" ”

This is Stalin's greatest fear, the comrades of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, with such frequent activities in the Outer Mongolian region, it is impossible to escape the eyes of the intelligence department of the independent division, if Tang Qiuli is sensitive and mobilizes troops into the Outer Mongolia region in advance, then there is no need to launch his own military operations, although that piece of land, let himself salivate, and also score under what circumstances to eat!

This is related to military intelligence, and General Bessovsky, director of the General Directorate of Military Intelligence of the General Staff, is about to come forward to answer, and he said respectfully: "Comrade Stalin, according to the report of the General Intelligence Directorate of the Far East, in recent times, our reconnaissance planes have encountered great difficulties in reconnaissance operations in the Outer Mongolian region, and the aviation units of the independent division are very well guarded in the airspace along the border, and the reconnaissance planes dispatched have basically been shot down, so there is no valuable intelligence!" ”

When reporting on these situations, General Bessovsky was a little trembling, the reconnaissance plane was shot down repeatedly, but did not return valuable information, which in itself was a dereliction of duty in the intelligence department, the leader of the Soviet Union in front of him, is not a good man and a woman, in an important word, he will stay in the concentration camp for the rest of his life, a little unlucky, he can't even save his life, and his family will be affected.

See, Beria's eyes have begun to shine, this is a ruthless, good at falling into the ground, killing his own comrades, without mercy, rambling that his own general, is those meritorious marshals and generals, as long as Beria said a word, he will disappear from the world immediately, and the party veterans and senior generals who died in his hands are countless, and there are not many generals himself.

Indeed, Beria was ready, just waiting for the leader's words, the Cheka personnel guarding outside would immediately take Admiral Besovsky away, and the rest was as simple as a bullet on a charge.

From the bottom of his heart, Beria very much wanted to get rid of General Besssovsky, because he was the chairman of the All-Soviet Anti-Terrorism Committee, and it was natural that he wanted to control all the intelligence departments, but this General Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff was monolithic, and he could not intervene all the cronies who were inserted in it were made into a cold bench.

However, to Beria's great disappointment, Comrade Stalin did not get angry, but said in a light tone: "Comrade Besovsky, order the air force units of the Transcaucasian Military District to stop such senseless losses, we really need to have all the intelligence in Outer Mongolia, but not in this way, your General Intelligence Directorate should know how to do it, contact the comrades of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, and they will provide valuable information!" ”

Admiral Besovsky, as if he had come from the Ghost Gate, was covered in cold sweat, hurriedly stood up, and said in an impassioned tone: "Yes, Comrade Stalin, I will immediately arrange for the best agents to infiltrate the Outer Mongolia region, get in touch with the comrades of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, and re-establish the intelligence network in the Outer Mongolia region!" ”

Of course, Beria would not let go of this opportunity to meddle in the General Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff, and hurriedly said: "Comrade Stalin, I have a Jianyì, the Cheka has a large number of specially trained Mongolian personnel, all of whom have been tested in the actual struggle and can be trusted. ”

"My idea is, why not take this opportunity to send them back, first, to use their own status, and second, to take advantage of the local people, to quickly find out the situation in Outer Mongolia, and if necessary, to exist as an armed force!"
