    General Vasilevsky's roar was absolutely justified. Whether it was the enemy situation report from the General Staff or the previous aerial reconnaissance of the Air Force, he clearly told himself that all the troops of the Reading Division in Outer Mongolia were concentrated in Mi  On the front line of Nusinsk, they put on a posture of fighting to the death with their own troops, but at the eastern foot of the Tangnu Mountains, at the four passages, why did the main force of the force readers appear again?

    General Vasilevsky was a little confused as to how many troops the scheming Chinese Tang Qiuli had in Outer Mongolia. He couldn't even believe that the reports he saw were true. However, there was a faint message coming from the front.  The "rumbling" sound of the artillery told myself that all this was true. The vanguard was being ambushed by the reading force!

    Surrounding General Vasilevsky were a group of senior generals from the Front Army Headquarters. At this time, they were all silent. No one could answer the comrade commander's roar. They were even more confused than the comrade commander.  , there is only one main force of Duli Division in the western region of Outer Mongolia. Why did it appear here again?

    Lieutenant General Bozhenev, Chief of Staff of the Front Army, saw the black lines on Comrade Commander's face and the bulging veins on his forehead. He was already on the verge of going berserk. He hurriedly reminded: "Comrade Commander, the top priority is to find out what happened ahead.  What? Is it the main force that the Duli Division ambushed our troops? What are the casualties in front of the leading troops? Also, we should immediately give a strict order and follow-up troops should press forward!"

    With a word that woke up the dreamer, Vasilevsky woke up from a state of extreme rage. Yes, since it has already happened that he lost his temper here, what is the use? It cannot solve any problem. Previously, it has been estimated that  When I arrived, I might be attacked by force readers, but it was too sudden, or in other words, it was beyond my expectation.  .

    Thinking of this, General Vasilevsky's mood completely stabilized. He had more than one million troops. Even if he was ambushed, what would happen if he encountered Tang Qiuli's main force?

    Still, in the face of absolute advantage, any conspiracy and tricks will lose their effects and ambush!  Well, I'm afraid that Tang Qiuli will just leave after fighting. It's better to be the main force of that cunning Chinese, so let's let the decisive battle of the Third Outer Mongolia War proceed!

    Since Tang Qiuli's main force was concentrated at the eastern foot of the Tangnu Mountains, the main force that appeared in the direction of Minusinsk must be the Chinese's plan, the empty city strategy, in General Vasilevsky's mind.  , a Chinese noun suddenly appeared.

    General Vasilevsky's eyes flashed with a faint dark light, and he said calmly: "Chief of Staff, convey my order.  Troops from all walks of life heading out of Outer Mongolia to the west, at any cost, rushed into the ambush circle of the force troops, concentrated all artillery fire, and leveled the Chinese positions. After crossing the Tangnu Mountains, they reached the flat grasslands of western Outer Mongolia. Troops from all walks of life  Move forward together and encircle Wulan Guben."

    "Attack the attacking troops, speed up the advance, use the 43rd Army to occupy Minusinsk, where Tang Qiuli's troops are empty, and clear out the surrounding small forces of the Reading Division. The remaining four armies immediately move south.  Cooperate with the southern route troops to encircle the main force of Duli Division in the Wulan Guben area!"

    More than one million Soviet follow-up troops, with the idea of ????fighting a large-scale battle, launched a fierce attack towards Chagannur, Bayanleg, Hujiertu, and Buyedu Wusu. For a time,  On the four simple roads, trucks were speeding, tanks were kicking up dust in the sky, and streams of iron were rolling in.

    However, thirty minutes later, another telegram from the vanguard force made General Vasilevsky confused again, "Front Army Headquarters, after our vanguard force was ambushed by the main force of the Reading Division, although  We suffered heavy casualties and still used the troops that had not suffered losses to attack their ambush position. However, what was very strange was that the reading force troops suddenly withdrew from the battlefield. Now, our leading troops have all passed through Chagannur and Bayan.  Lege, Hujiertu, Buyuedu Wusu and other places."

    "Take one bite and run away?" This was General Vasilevsky's first reaction. He couldn't guess why Tang Qiuli ordered his troops to do this. Given the terrain conditions of the four passages in the Tangnu Mountains, even if  Under the fierce attack of his own army of more than one million men day and night, he could hold on for three or four days without any problems, and he hoped that the Chinese would do this.

    In this way, we can use superior force to entangle and consume the main force of the Reading Division, and firmly attract it to the battlefield at the eastern foot of the Tangnu Mountains. Wait for the troops attacking Minusinsk to move south and encircle them here. The plan of your own conception  The large triangle strategic encirclement can still play a role, but what is the situation now?

    He summoned up all his strength, but his opponent disappeared. HuaGeneral Sirevsky felt for the first time that it was not an easy task to fight against this cunning Chinese. Even if he had more than 1.6 million troops, if he was not careful,  You will suffer a loss. The opponent's infrequent ambush battles are an example of this.

    From the map, the front army chief of staff, Lieutenant General Bozhnev, raised his head and said: "Comrade Commander, if Tang Qiuli's main force suddenly withdraws from the battlefield, then there is only one direction, which is Ulan Guben."

    General Vasilevsky¡¯s eyes narrowed and he asked calmly: ¡°Oh, Comrade Chief of Staff, tell me your reasons?¡±

    Chief of Staff Bozhenev replied: "It's very simple. To the south, close to the border area of ??China's Xinjiang Province, is a swamp area formed by the overflow of the Khovd River, which is not conducive to the actions of the mechanized corps. According to the situation where the leading troops were ambushed,  Judging from the situation, the ambush force of the reading force division should be at least about 200,000 people. If the force is large, the Chinese Tang Qiuli will not send himself to a dangerous place. "

    "In the Ulan Guben area, there is good terrain that can be used to block our army. Moreover, Ulan Guben is the first important target that must be captured on the route of our army's attack on Kulun. The Chinese have no  Instead of blocking our army here, I suggest that the vanguard troops advance quickly without waiting for the follow-up troops, bite the tail of the reading force troops, entangle them before they reach Ulan Guben, and wait for our main troops to arrive.  Surround it!"

    General Vasilevsky shook his head and said: "Comrade Chief of Staff, your analysis is very correct. The Reading Division troops that just took advantage of it can only withdraw to the direction of Ulan Guben. However, I will not  If we give that cunning Chinese Tang Qiuli a chance to ambush our army again, we should follow the original plan and all the troops will advance together after leaving the Tangnu Mountains and crush the Chinese! "

    "Give Tang Qiuli time to build fortifications in Wulanguben. That is the place he must defend. Do you understand what I mean?" There was a hint of conspiracy in his eyes.

    Chief of Staff Bozhenev understood that dragging Tang Qiuli's main force in Ulan Guben was Comrade Commander's true intention. Face-to-face positional battles and troop superiority would play a decisive role in determining the surname.

    General Vasilevsky looked across the Tangnu Mountains, the rolling hills. The sound of artillery in front had subsided, but he smelled the smell of blood in the air. It was the blood of his soldiers, filling the air.  In the night sky, he asked: "Chief of Staff, have you received a report on the casualties of the vanguard?"

    Chief of Staff Pozhnev's tone was very low, and he replied: "Comrade Commander, the report has come up. The leading troops of the four armies, each with two divisions, were violently shelled by the Reading Division troops, with casualties reaching  One-third, about 48,000 people, according to them, the Chinese artillery fire was unprecedentedly fierce, and most of them were heavy artillery. The casualties of the troops were basically caused by enemy artillery fire.  "

    "Heavy artillery?" General Vasilevsky's eyelids couldn't help but twitch a few times. In one hour of fighting, the average casualties reached one in the four battlefields of Chagannur, Bayanleg, Hujiertu, and Buyeduwusu.  Twelve thousand people, it can be seen that the enemy's artillery fire was fierce at that time, it must be Tang Qiuli's main force, otherwise, there would not be so many heavy artillery, and there would not be such a fierce bombardment.

    Of course, the casualties were less than 50,000. For the Outer Mongolia Front Army, which had more than 1.6 million troops, it was only a slight casualty. The price was worth it. At least the current position of the main force of the Reading Division was figured out.  Next, there is a crushing force of millions of troops advancing hand in hand.

    "Understood, order the troops to cross the Tangnu Mountains overnight, and launch an attack on Ulanguben in the evening the day after tomorrow!" After listening to the report from the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Bozhenev, General Vasilevsky said without changing his expression.  .

    After a pause, General Vasilevsky seemed to ask casually: "Comrade Chief of Staff, do you have a report on the number of enemies destroyed by our troops? Or, have any prisoners been captured?" He asked casually, seemingly casually, but his gaze  The expectant look in his eyes revealed his true thoughts. Four armies of nearly 200,000 troops fought for an hour. How could they gain something?

    Chief of Staff Pozhnev's eyes seemed to be avoiding something. He hesitated and replied: "Comrade Commander, I am very sorry that no, not even a prisoner of war from the Reading Division was captured. The vanguard passed through the enemy's ambush.  After the position, all we saw were shell casings and temporary fortifications everywhere. The enemy didn¡¯t even leave a wounded person or a soldier¡¯s body behind!¡±

    "Hiss¡ª!" General Vasilevsky couldn't help but gasped, fifty thousand to zero, what kind of battle is this?  What kind of opponent are you facing?

    Suddenly, General Vasilevsky seemed to understand SiComrade Dalin, those words of warning at the Politburo meeting.
