Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The chief of staff of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front, Lieutenant General Poshenevbo, whose monotonous voice echoed in the tent, announced the battle plan, and asked expressionlessly: "Which comrade has any opinion on the headquarters' battle plan?"  If you have different opinions, speak them out in person!¡±

    All the senior Soviet generals who participated in the meeting were silent, with uncertain faces, and a very embarrassed posture. This in itself was an attitude. When they saw General Vasilevsky, they felt angry in their hearts, and the war was imminent.  Facing an extremely fierce and cunning enemy, the commanders' momentum is so unbearable, how can we fight this battle?

    However, General Vasilevsky, who was experienced in leading troops, knew the inner thoughts of the generals. He stood up and said: "Comrades, we should not only look at the immediate difficulties, we should take a longer view. First of all  , our military strength is far greater than that of Tang Qiuli's troops, this is our biggest advantage! "

    "I know the concerns of comrades. Without the cooperation of artillery and tanks, how can we attack Saiyinsanda, which has a complete defense system and is easy to defend and difficult to attack?" At this point, his voice suddenly rose, "I might as well tell comrades  Guys, the issues you are worried about have long been considered by the headquarters. Before convening this meeting, I have ordered the First Army and the Second Army of the Front Artillery Force to march to Saiyin Shanda overnight! "

    "In addition, there are also front tank troops that are also moving in. They must reach the offensive position before tomorrow evening to provide you with the necessary artillery support. I will not let my soldiers attack the fortified positions with their flesh and blood."  Fortifications, all worries should be put to rest, right?"

    This is Vasilevsky's preparation of firepower to the best of his ability for the first wave of attacking troops, but at great risk. The bombers of the force reader are everywhere and will swoop down from the sky at any time.  Fighters and fighter jets are the biggest threats and killers to artillery and tank troops as they advance. In order to avoid danger, they can only move at night and hide in forests or mountains during the day.  .

    However, in order to ensure the success of the attack, there is no need to worry about so much. If you have control of the air, there is no need to hide like this. However, the control of the air is in the hands of the Chinese. "No matter what difficulties and situations you two troops encounter,  "We must provide maximum fire support and offensive cover for the first wave of attacking infantry."

    "For each offensive front, we must ensure that there are more than 150 large-caliber artillery pieces and more than 100 tanks. You can think of the specific methods yourself. I only want results!" General Vasilevsky looked at him with bright eyes.  The commander of the front artillery and the commander of the armored forces said, with a chill in their tone.

    It is somewhat difficult for others to do. Everyone knows that since going south, facing the air raids and bombings of the readers' planes, the artillery troops and tank troops have been like mice. They dare not show their faces during the day. All marches are at night, in the light of day.  We just took a rest after the light went out and it was completely dark before taking action. The days we passed were black and white. Now, if Comrade Commander issued such an order, wouldn't he be exposed to the force-reader's plane?

    The commanders of the two arms were willing to explain and argue. Isn't this nonsense? It is very likely that the artillery and tanks will be turned into piles of scrap metal before Seinshanda is reached. But Comrade Commander  With murderous eyes and livid faces, the two of them swallowed the words they spoke, because trouble came from their mouths!

    As for the other infantry unit commanders, they have nothing to say. For the sake of what the commander has already said, whoever emphasizes the difficulties and makes excuses is doing it because he or she is uncomfortable. To be fair, the choice of attack time is absolutely inappropriate.  However, the sky is getting darker and darker as we fight, which is not good for the attacking side. However, Comrade Commander has made up his mind, and the military meeting ended with unanimous approval. The Soviet commanders at all levels are busy with mixed emotions for the attack tomorrow evening.  Get ready.

    After the meeting, General Vasilevsky returned to his tent. I don¡¯t know why, but it was already late at night. The complicated things in the past few days had made him anxious and restless. He had hardly slept well. Now the overall situation  Basically, it was decided that it was time to relax, but after returning to the tent, he was a little excited and couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, but it was not because of the seemingly sure attack tomorrow, but because there was a feeling in his heart.  Unspeakably unreasonable!

    I can¡¯t explain why, but I have a real feeling, but it¡¯s so vague that I have no clue. It¡¯s because of the scheming Chinese Tang Qiuli¡¯s unconventional behavior. Under normal circumstances, the Outer Mongolia Front Army  With an army of more than one million people moving south, even if the main force of the Reading Force does not directly block the attack, there should be some harassment and delayed actions by small groups of troops. However, seven or eight days have passed since the departure from Cullen.

    The force-reading division¡¯s ground troops did not appear, but a large number of combat aircraft came.?There is a question, whether Tang Qiuli's troops are really in Saiyin Shanda, or whether he has a bigger conspiracy, maybe it is possible, without any form of blocking, but it is not Tang Qiuli's style, is it possible?  , that Chinese really wants to fight a head-to-head offensive and defensive battle with him in Saiyinsanda?

    It was not just these that made Vasilevsky see that the general was uneasy. He felt that the Chinese acted too calmly. Could it be that he was waiting for some opportunity?

    General Vasilevsky, who was tossing and turning and unable to sleep, felt empty and unsure. He vaguely felt that something earth-shattering might be about to happen?

    On the night of April 9th, in Seyinshanda, Tang Qiuli quietly leaned back on his chair in the frontline headquarters of the Reading Division. The "tick-tock" sound from the telecommunications room next door could be heard clearly, making the night even more peaceful.  , the northwest wind outside the window stirred up dust and gravel, hitting the window with a "rustling" sound. He closed his eyes slightly and his face was as calm as water. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe had given instructions that no one would come in to disturb him.

    But Tang Qiuli's heart was by no means as calm as on the surface. It was already past ten o'clock on the night of April 9th, and it was less than eight hours before Hitler took action against the Soviet Union. Logically speaking, the German General Staff  , there should have been a secret telegram sent to inform him that the German army had begun to take action, but no, he had been waiting in the headquarters since dark, and Chen Feng, the director of the Communications Department, personally guarded the unsecret radio station.

    The unusual behavior of the Germans made Tang Qiuli think a lot. It was absolutely impossible for Hitler to let himself go, but it was possible to change the date of the attack, for example, delay it by three to five days because of insufficient preparation.  Yes, if this is the case, your battle plan will have to be adjusted accordingly.

    The waiting was so unbearable. Tang Qiuli didn't like the occurrence and development of events, and the feeling that they were out of his control. However, as the war situation developed to this day, he was no longer able to control it. All the treasures were on the Germans.  , if the Germans delay their attack on the Soviet Union, the Battle of Seinshanda will be inevitable. Even if they don't want to fight, more than half a million Soviet troops are approaching their doorstep, and they have to fight if they don't want to fight!

    Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe gently opened the door and came in. Tang Qiuli suddenly opened his eyes. Zhao Yuhe shook his head and said nothing, but his expression told him that there was still no news from the Germans. Zhao Yuhe also looked uneasy.  He hesitated to speak.

    Tang Qiuli suddenly smiled and said, "Yu He, are you a little out of control?"

    Zhao Yuhe's face turned red and he admitted honestly, "Yes, Commander, I am a little uneasy. In the afternoon, you told me that the German army will attack the Soviet Union at dawn tomorrow. I believe what you say, but  , the Soviets would not be aware of such a big move by the German army, but you see, the Outer Mongolia Front Army is still preparing to attack Seyinshanda. In the Far East, the Soviet army surrounded the Kwantung Army and fought hard. There is no sign that there will be any conflict between the Soviet Union and Germany.  The outbreak of war!"

    Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Wars often break out without any warning. For example, the September 18th Incident launched by the Kwantung Army and the July 7th Incident launched by the Japanese Army in North China all  The war is coming out of the blue, so we should wait. Even if the German army does not launch an attack on the Soviet Union on time, our troops on the left and right flanks of the three armies of the first echelon of the Soviet army will not make us panic.  What else are you worried about?"

    Zhao Yuhe thought for a moment and felt that the commander's words were a bit mysterious, but he had no way to refute, "Yuhe, after dawn tomorrow, the battle situation will fundamentally change. Liu Hongzhang also stayed in the baggage area for a long time.  I don¡¯t know how he feels about cultivating his mind and his surname. I¡¯m going to let him go back to the First Brigade. I¡¯m afraid Liu Chenglin is reluctant to take on the position of acting brigade commander, walking on thin ice. It¡¯s hard for him. What do you think?¡±

    Zhao Yuhe also smiled and said: "According to your instructions, after the troops withdrew to Saiyinsanda, I talked with Brigadier Liu several times. To tell you the truth, he always considered his decision to fight back.  That's right, but Brigadier Liu talked about his mistakes from another perspective. He had no complaints about you demoting him to the position of deputy battalion commander in the baggage force, and he did his job with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm.  It¡¯s so hard to understand!¡±

    "As for the battalion he is in, he has almost trained him into a field force. He also told me that he plans to work in the baggage force for the rest of his life. He said that it is more enjoyable than being in the field force. However, I think that restoring Brigadier Liu's  The position is a very correct decision. I have been to the First Brigade several times. Without Brigadier Liu, the entire army seems to be lacking a lot of energy! "

    Tang Qiuli laughed silently and said: "Yuhe, haven't you heard yet? That guy is demonstrating with me. You are a stubborn man. You can give the order. However, you have to wait until dawn tomorrow before letting him know."  He returns to the army!"

    Zhao Yuhe came out with a smileWhen it was over, Tang Qiuli walked to the window and looked at the dark night sky, "Hitler, what on earth are you doing?" he said to himself.
