Although the commander of the Third Army of the Transcaucasian Military District of the USSR, Major General Sergeyev, was puzzled by the answer and approach of the commander of the military district, General Kurygin, he did not dare to stand out again and fight for the vanguard officer of Raushzi!

Because Comrade Commander, before he left the headquarters, the last few words were very lethal, "Comrade Sergeyev, I also have great doubts about the reason for Comrade Nikolagsky's sacrifice, the troops of the six divisions attacked, only the armored brigade of your army, there were heavy casualties, this in itself speaks for itself, I doubt that you are trying to fight for the task of attacking first with a personal purpose, whether you will use the hands of the Chinese army to bury the entire armored brigade, To solve the hidden danger once and for all? ”

It was these naked and undisguised words that made Commander Sergeyev, who was covered in a cool breeze and dared to be emotional, and his intention to fight in order to get rid of the entanglement of those Cheka agents was interpreted by the comrades of the commander as a conspiracy, which was a great wrong!

If it weren't for the damned Nikolagsky's recklessness, he had to coerce himself into approval to pursue the retreating cavalry units of the independent division, where did he get so much trouble, that damn guy, even if he died, he would have harmed people, but when he said this, who would believe it? At the very least, Commander Kurygin and the haunting Cheka agents would not believe it, so Commander Sergeyev, who was full of grievances but could not tell, returned to the station, unhappy and clamped his tail and behaved.

This evening, after receiving a notice from the command to attend a military meeting, Commander Sergeyev, sitting in a car, was still nervous in his heart, and secretly pondered, "Sudden notice." On the phone, the reason and content of the meeting were not explained, and the officer who called was speaking in a tone that looked so much like a Cheka agent, domineering, with indifference that he didn't take other people's lives seriously, could it be today's meeting. Who specifically targets themselves? ”

"It is certainly not possible not to attend the meeting, and if you disobey the order, you will hand the handle of the knife into the hands of Commander Kuregin, and this alone will take your own life. There's nowhere to redress grievances, so much so. It's a blessing and not a curse. You can't avoid it, just hold on! ”

Commander Sergeyev, muttering in his heart, came to the front command, and at a glance, the commanders of other units came. Moreover, in the headquarters, there was no murderous Cheka agent, his heart. Put down most of it! The face is also much better-looking.

As soon as he sat down, Commander Kulygin, accompanied by several staff officers, walked into the conference room, as if he glanced at himself inadvertently, with a very complex meaning in his eyes, and it seemed, with a hint of killing intent, that Commander Sergeyev, who had just let go of most of his heart, slip up again!

General Kulygin, with a falcon-like gaze, glanced at the venue for a week, and said: "I know that the troops that have been assembled and can launch an attack at any time have inexplicably waited for a day and a night, and all comrades have great doubts in their hearts about not giving the order to attack immediately, or rather, I am delaying the fighter plane and giving the Chinese army more time to prepare, is this so?" ”

"That's what I thought!" The senior officers of the Soviet army below muttered to themselves in their hearts, but the stunned young man who didn't know whether he was alive or dead dared to stand up and say directly to the comrade commander, "You are delaying the fighter!" "That's impatient!

Seeing that the generals were speechless, General Kurygin smiled with satisfaction, and then said: "According to normal circumstances, I am indeed delaying the fighters, but have you ever thought about it, comrades, in recent days, the reconnaissance planes of the Independent Division have been constantly conducting intensive reconnaissance in the airspace over the assembly area of our army, and the assembly and movement of more than 100,000 troops cannot hide from the eyes of the Chinese pilots. ”

"Therefore, the rapid attack of our troops has lost any meaning, and besides, the troops have been assembled from their original positions, and the attack is launched at dusk as soon as the assembly is completed at noon, can the commanders of your various units ensure that all the fighters will be able to devote themselves to the battle with the fullest fighting spirit? No! Despite our warriors, with strong beliefs, they also need adequate rest. ”

"If the 3rd and 5th armies, which were already in Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude, were used, the mechanized forces were insufficient to form a powerful assault corps, and if an infantry division was used, a long march, to the battlefield, would there still be energy to attack immediately? On the contrary, it will give the Chinese army a lot of opportunities to kill and injure our living forces, so the reason why I postpone the attack for one day is in this regard. ”

"What is more important is that the intelligence of our army assembled in the Baikal region, since it has been detected by the Chinese army, they will inevitably be in the north of Kulun, the only natural barrier on the line of the Sejingge River, to block the attack, because it is impossible to judge the time of our army's attack, the Chinese will definitely be on alert 24 hours a day, ready to fight at any time, now that the day has passed, the Chinese soldiers who are waiting for the day will inevitably be exhausted, lose their sharpness, and their defense will be lax, and people's energy is always limited, and soldiers are no exception!"

"Therefore, now is the best time to launch an attack, and I order that the 1st and 3rd Mechanized Divisions, the 37th Mechanized Division of the 3rd Army, the armored brigade attached to the army, the 48th Mechanized Division of the 5th Army, the independent armored brigade of the Military Region, and the 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 6th Guards Tank Brigades should immediately set off and rush to the front line of the Sejingge River to launch an attack on the Chinese troops who are vainly trying to block us, and the time for the campaign to start is exactly 4 o'clock in the morning of 20 September, and it is now 9:15 p.m. on 19 September."

"The four mechanized infantry divisions, marching in five and a half hours, must arrive at their designated areas at 3:30 a.m. on 20 September, and after half an hour, the attacking troops will be under my personal command, except for the Third Army, the other troops, as the second echelon, will set off at 1 a.m. on 20 September, and the chief of staff will issue the campaign plan and orders to all armies and divisions, and after the meeting, the troops of the first attack wave will set off immediately!"

At the meeting venue, there was a sound of turning paper, and Commander Sergeyev was completely relieved, but when he saw the specific battle arrangement, he couldn't help but be secretly annoyed, Commander Kurygin not only took away the infantry division of the 37th Mechanized Division, which had the strongest combat effectiveness and firepower, and the armored brigade under the army, and left two infantry divisions that were rushing by his own footboard, but also the task of the Third Army was very arduous and it was simply difficult to complete!

The task given by Commander Kuregin to the Third Army was to capture Uriya Sutai and Kobdo in western Outer Mongolia before 30 September, especially Kobdo, which is far away in the western part of Outer Mongolia near the Sino-Mongolian border, and is the farthest target from the current starting point.

This means that a pure infantry division of the Third Army has to use its feet to cross the Outer Mongolia region in ten days, cover a distance of seven or eight hundred kilometers, cross the Great Gobi, cross the Khan Huhe Mountains, cross the Idel River and the Zabkhan River, two big rivers with strong waters, is this the way the fuck people walk? Unless their own soldiers have wings, even if they are tired to death, they will not reach their destination.

Commander Sergeyev understood in an instant that this top boss was going to play to himself, to give the Third Army a seemingly impossible task, and finally, to settle the account, isn't this a blatant wholeheartedness?

The other Soviet generals all looked at this poor comrade army commander with pity, and secretly sweated for him, General Kurygin, noticing Major General Sergeyev's angry demeanor, asked quietly: "Comrade Sergeyev, do you have any different opinions on the tasks of your Third Army?" Just speak up! ”

Commander Sergeyev had the urge to scold the comrade commander on the spot, and even punched and kicked him, but he didn't even dare to let out a fart, saying that comrade commander who deliberately made things difficult for himself, well, give the task to the comrades who are willing to complete it, you, the army commander, will be the end, and then, without the protection of his position, take off this official uniform, and those commissioners of the anti-rebellion committee, still don't kill yourself?

It's all the damned Nikolagsky, the scourge who is still haunted after he is dead, and he makes himself a sinister villain in the eyes of Comrade Commander, who is forced to get rid of him quickly, furious in his heart, and does not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction on his lips, stands up and says: "Comrade Commander, the Third Army guarantees the completion of the task!" ”

General Kurygin smiled and nodded, praising him: "Comrade Sergeyev, the task of your Third Army is the most arduous, I am very pleased to see your determination to complete the task, I am waiting for your good news in Kulen!" ”

However, this smile, in the eyes of Commander Sergeyev, is a sign of the success of the conspiracy, like the eyes of a cat looking at a mouse.

General Kurygin said to the generals: "Comrades, do you have any different opinions on the tasks undertaken by your troops, if so, put them forward now, reasonable opinions, revise them on the spot, if not, immediately adjourn the meeting, a few comrades of the Air Force will stay, and another task will be handed over to you!" ”

This is tantamount to saying in vain, you don't give a chance to speak, who is stupid, and jumped out with straight eyebrows, and wrestled with Comrade Commander, the generals below no longer doubt Comrade Commander's decision, people are commanders, what they say is reasonable, if you have opinions, don't you see, your face is already colorless, your eyes are straight, and you are walking a little erratic.

The Soviet generals, after saluting one by one, immediately left, the commanders of the four fighter divisions and the two bomber divisions stayed, exchanging probing glances with each other, they don't know what the plans of Comrade Commander to leave the air force personnel alone?
