Sun Zhenbang, commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps of the Independent Division, is indeed a material that can be made, and Tang Qiuli was very satisfied with this by gently dialing a few words, and the troops were separated, and each hand grasped the troops of the two armies of the 35th Group Army of the Soviet Army, laying the foundation for solving the problem of Kulun, and Tang Qiuli was very satisfied with this.

What satisfied Tang Qiuli the most was that Sun Zhenbang overcame the psychology of being eager to win the battle, and was not moved by the immediate low-hanging fruit interests.

In Tang Qiuli's plan, the Soviet army behind is very difficult to grasp, the Soviet army north of Delun is surrounded, the first time, the alarm will be passed back, the commander of the 35th Soviet Army, Lieutenant General Derganin, is not a fool, will, immediately judge that the next move of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, if so, the army following behind will soon retract back to Kulen, even if Sun Zhenbang runs and vomits blood, he will not be able to catch up.

Therefore, being able to catch the Soviet army behind was really a little surprising and unexpected for Tang Qiuli, he had no way of knowing at what speed the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps were in front of the Soviet army and did not complete the encirclement?

If it is an all-mechanized army like the directly subordinate corps, it is possible, but the Outer Mongolia Field Corps is an infantry unit, with very few vehicles, and of course the ability to move quickly is not strong.

Zhao Yuhe, the chief of staff, gave him the answer, and seeing that the division commander was very happy, Zhao Yuhe also relaxed and said: "Division commander, the rapid movements of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps seem incredible, and it is more than 200 kilometers away from the Soviet troops south of Kulun. Day and night, they appeared around the Soviet army like a miracle, and the credit for this was indispensable to the armored troops of Commander Battle! ”

"Oh?" Tang Qiuli was very interested, "Yuhe, let's listen carefully!" He laughs.

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Commander Battle, drawing on the experience of the German armored group in long-distance and large-scale maneuvering, concentrated all the motor vehicles of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, and then used tanks to carry the infantry to form a mechanized assault force. The size of the force was about two brigades, and they forcibly marched more than 200 kilometers in a day and night, and when the Soviet troops were just beginning to retreat, they suddenly blocked their retreat and built a blocking position. With the desperately retreating Soviet troops, the fierce battle lasted for more than a day. Persisted until the arrival of the follow-up troops of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps. Completed the deployment of the siege! ”

After listening to Zhao Yuhe's words, Tang Qiuli became a little nervous, and asked, "Yuhe, are there many casualties among the troops?" Two brigades against the Soviet army as a whole army, the difference in strength is huge! ”

Zhao Yuhe's face was relaxed, and he replied with a smile: "Commander." You have overthought it, the armored corps of Commander Battle, which played a great role, repeatedly repelled the attacks of the Soviet troops. It also launched a counterattack in a timely manner, and the two brigades of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps suffered few casualties! ”

Tang Qiuli put his mind at ease and asked, "Sun Zhenbang grabbed two large pieces of fat at the same time, won't he be dazzled, what does he think?" ”

Zhao Yu and Caiwen Jiàn took out a telegram and said: "Commander Sun has reported the battle plan to the division, and his deployment is like this, for the encircled Soviet army north of Delun, he still adopts the strategy of encircling but not fighting, concentrating forces, first annihilating the Soviet army south of Kulun, and then, the troops that ended the battle, all press up, and annihilate the Soviet army north of Deren as quickly as possible!" ”

"After solving the two armies of the Soviet army, the troops rested for a day, and then, the whole army went north to besiege Kulen, I took a look at the battle plan reported by the headquarters of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps, and I think it is very feasible, there are light and heavy, divided and annihilated, the thinking is very clear, and the rhythm of the battlefield is also very accurate, after your approval, I will reply to them immediately, and the battle can begin!"

Tang Qiuli did not answer Zhao Yuhe's words, but asked another question, "When Sun Zhenbang reported the battle plan, did he explain the reason for doing so?" ”

Zhao Yuhe shook his head and sighed, and said: "Division commander, let you guess again, Commander Sun's reason is that this Soviet army south of Kulen is closer to Kulun, if the Soviet troops of another army in Kulen City come to the rescue desperately, in terms of strength, we will not have an advantage, if we don't get it right, it will become a rout, and we will not achieve the goal of completely annihilating the Soviet army. ”

"Annihilate the Soviet army south of Kulen first, then there will be no such trouble, the troops of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps can free up their hands and calmly solve the Soviet army north of Delun," said this, Zhao Yuhe added a few words, "When Commander Sun was talking to me on the phone, he also said that after annihilating the Soviet army south of Kulen, I very much hope that the Soviet army in Kulen City will come to the rescue, in that case, all the forces of the 35th Soviet Army will be killed on the periphery of Kulen, and Kulen will not have to fight!" ”

Hearing this, Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "This Sun Zhenbang, he is not greedy enough, that Lieutenant General Gerganin, the commander of the 35th Group Army of the Soviet Army, is not a fool, he knows that he is throwing himself into the net, and he stupidly uses up the last unit in his hand, Yuhe, approve Sun Zhenbang's battle plan, in addition, you give another order, Ren Zhaoquan's brigade in the battlefield north of Delun, immediately go north, strengthen the troops in the battlefield south of Kulun, and ensure that the Soviet army is annihilated as quickly as possible!" ”

Zhao Yuhe had just gone out, and Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, hurriedly came in, "Report to the division commander, I have received information from the intelligence department about the movements of the Japanese army in the Far East!" ”

Tang Qiuli was overjoyed, hey, he had been unable to figure out the steps of the Japanese, and the troops commanded by Liu Tiehan did not dare to take any action, the Far Eastern battlefield was about to suffocate to death, and now, Yu Deshui came with intelligence, just to answer his questions, "Director Chen, read it quickly!" He urged.

Chen Feng read in a steady tone: "Division, the Far East Intelligence Center Station of the Intelligence Department has learned that the Japanese Kwantung Army and Zhukov's Far Eastern Front have fought fiercely for two days, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties, but the Japanese Kwantung Army has a situation of overstrength, and Zhukov has no intention of entangling too much, it seems that he has the intention of withdrawing from the Far East battlefield, and its logistics and baggage troops have moved in the direction of Chita. ”

"In addition, according to the latest information, the Japanese army's base camp has made new arrangements for the Far East war situation, and the Japanese Far East Dispatch Army and the Korean Zhutun Army, which originally rushed to the aid of the Kwantung Army, totaled about 900,000 troops, divided into multiple routes, and secretly drove to the direction of the Buleya Mountains and the Kukan Mountains, with unclear intentions.

"Good! - Okay! Tang Qiuli suddenly high-fived, shouted loudly, and Zhao Yuhe, the chief of staff who had just returned to the command headquarters after giving the order to Sun Zhenbang, took a big jump and hurriedly asked: "Division commander, is it something that makes you applaud?" ”

Tang Qiuli was obviously very excited, of course, a cigarette, took a hard puff, highlighted the light blue smoke, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I applaud the Japanese, Yuhe, the latest information from the intelligence department, the Japanese army has finally made a move, and it is still a big move, Hirohito's appetite is not small, the two reinforcements, plus the Kwantung Army, the strength of the three Japanese forces of nearly two million people, is heading towards Zhukov's Far Eastern Front!" ”

"Look!" Tang Qiuli strode to the military map, pointed to the direction of the Buleya Mountains and the Kukan Mountains, and said: "Zhukov's troops, after the early retreat of the Soviet Army's Outer Khinganling Front and the Baikal Front, Zhukov's intention is obvious, that is, to cover the troops of the other two Soviet Fronts and withdraw along the way, he is afraid that the Kwantung Army will take the opportunity to turn around and take a bite." ”

"If this is the case, it will be a big trouble for the Soviet army, if the Kwantung Army is stalked, chasing all the way, at least, it can delay the retreat of the Soviet army, which will never be allowed for Stalin, who is looking forward to reinforcements and looking forward to red eyes, the main forces of the Soviet army in the east, one more day of delay, Stalin will be tightened for one day, I am afraid, it is now a few telegrams a day, urging Zhukov and Vasilevsky's troops to return to the direction of Europe as much as possible."

"Zhukov also has a purpose, that is, to solve the Japanese Kwantung Army forever, covering and striking at the same time, it can be described as a plan to kill two birds with one stone, this move is not risky, it is really necessary, keeping the Japanese Kwantung Army in the Far East is always a big trouble, with more than 1 million troops of the Far Eastern Front without much losses, against the more than 800,000 troops of the Kwantung Army that were half-killed by the three armies of the Soviet Army, there is a great chance of victory, and it is completely possible to solve the Kwantung Army before Stalin gets angry."

"However, the tenacious combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army greatly exceeded Zhukov's expectations, and the battle to solve the superiority of the Kwantung Army was fought into a stalemate, which Zhukov did not want to see, and there was no time to entangle, so he had the idea of retreating, and Zhukov also believed that the Kwantung Army had been attacked one after another, and it was no longer able to pursue and entangle, so the logistics and baggage troops of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, the early action, illustrated this point!"

Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli shook his head, and then said: "Zhukov still underestimated the revenge psychology of the Japanese, and beat the more than 1.8 million troops of the Kwantung Army to only 7.8 million people, with losses of more than two-thirds. ”

"Definitely not, and the current position of Zhukov's troops, objectively, gives the Japanese an opportunity to take advantage of the Kwantung Army, which was beaten and bruised, to twist the Soviet Army to the death, and to buy enough time for the other two lines of Japan to encircle, which is not difficult to explain, why the Kwantung Army, which has been at a disadvantage and has been exhausted for a long time, has repeatedly launched doomed counterattacks against the Soviet Far Eastern Front despite huge casualties!"

Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng quietly listened to the division commander's analysis, and the chaotic situation in the Far East gradually became clear, but Zhao Yuhe still had a big question in his heart.
