    General Gregariff, the commander of the Soviet Trans-Hinggan Mountains Front, had not yet put down the phone in his hand. The communications staff of the headquarters sent an urgent telegram, "Urgent telegram from the headquarters?" What could it be? He was filled with surprise and uncertainty.  It was an unpredictable fear, "Read¡ª¡ª!" He ordered dryly, still holding the phone tightly in his hand.

    The communications staff officer read: "Notice that this morning, Comrade Molotov, the People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, successfully negotiated with Tang Qiuli, the leader of the independent division, in Kulun, Outer Mongolia, and reached the following agreement. After our Soviet troops withdraw from the Far East and Outer Mongolia battlefields,  During the process, all independent division troops are not allowed to interfere with the Soviet evacuation operations or take any hostile actions. Therefore, the frontline force commander can make appropriate adjustments to the deployment based on this situation to complete the task of rescuing the Far East Front as soon as possible.  !¡±

    "What?" General Gregariff exclaimed. He didn't react for a moment. It was too sudden. He was still nervously guarding the independent division troops. Over there, the results of the negotiations were concluded. It turned out that the independent division troops had inexplicably interacted with the independent division troops.  My own rearguard suddenly disengaged. It was because they were fulfilling the negotiation agreement. They had been making trouble for a long time. It was because they were nervous and neurotic. What the hell was going on?

    Wait, this morning, it was now past nine o'clock at night. In other words, it was at least nearly ten hours before the commander of the frontline troops received a notification from the headquarters, "bastard!" General Gregariff said furiously  He shouted, and he didn't know whether he was scolding the headquarters or that guy. It had lasted nearly ten hours, and for the Outer Xing'anling Front Army, where every second counted.  In ten hours, how many deployment adjustments can be made that are beneficial to the offense.  However, it was just wasted!

    "Asshole, what are those guys in Moscow doing?" The flames of anger in General Gregariff's heart burned uncontrollably, and the Chief of Staff of the Front Army on the other end of the phone suddenly heard a loud shout from the comrade commander, and was startled.  , realized immediately.  He was scolding himself, and then he became angry. Originally, he didn't believe the reliable information that had been confirmed by many parties, and he still cursed for no reason!

    I feel angry.  The chief of staff became rude and said in a questioning tone: "Comrade Commander, please pay attention to your wording. If I make any mistakes, you can criticize me. Don't insult my personality!"

    General Gregariff screamed in his heart.  It's all a fucking mess, where are you following? However, the report from the headquarters confirmed the intelligence provided by the chief of staff.  That's right, the independent division troops really evacuated.  This is undoubtedly great news for the Outer Xing'anling Front Army, which is in a stalemate with the blocking Japanese army!

    For a moment, General Gregariff's heart felt as if the dark clouds in the sky were blown away by the strong wind, revealing a blue sky and bright sunshine. What does it mean that the Outer Xing'anling Front Army has no worries? It means that all its troops can be invested in  During the attack on the Japanese blocking line!

    General Gregariff, who was in a mixture of ecstasy and consternation, did not notice the unkind tone of the Chief of Staff at all. He said hastily: "Comrade Chief of Staff, good news. Just now, the headquarters sent a notification that we and Tang Qiuli  If the negotiation is successful, the independent division troops will not take any military action against us. I order the rearguard troops to move closer immediately. Comrade Chief of Staff, you also rush back to the front army headquarters as soon as possible to help me adjust my deployment. At dawn tomorrow, go to the general  Use all your troops to deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese army on the opposite side!¡±

    After saying that, without waiting for the chief of staff to react, he hung up the phone with a bang. On the other end of the phone, the chief of staff of the front army was also stunned. Then he reacted, and his mood was similar to that of the commander. He was full of surprises and said, "Order the rearguard troops,  Move closer to the headquarters immediately! Guards! Prepare your vehicle immediately and return to the headquarters overnight!" He ordered loudly.

    That night, the battlefield that had been fought like a tsunami for six or seven days and nights was unusually calm. Even at night, the Soviet army, which was constantly attacking, became quiet. Only large-caliber artillery was still carrying out shelling with a significantly reduced density.  , any light on the Japanese position will attract a bunch of artillery shells. The shelling is one-sided, and the Japanese artillery cannot fight an equal artillery battle at all.

    The Japanese soldiers lay in the cold and damp trenches. The snow that melted under the direct sunlight during the day did not freeze at night, but only a thin layer of ice formed. The temperature of their bodies quickly melted the snow under them, and gradually  The uniforms of the Japanese soldiers were soaked, and the uncontrollable cold eroded the body temperature of the Japanese soldiers. In the trenches, the "click-click" sound of teeth chattering was heard from time to time. However, the Japanese soldiers were obviously used to such a situation.

    Hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers along the entire blockade line have held on for six or seven days under such conditions, blocking the Soviet soldiers with superior strength, their crazy attacks like a tide, and the overwhelming bombardment of countless artillery shells.  The position remains?In the hands of the samurai of the Imperial Army of Japan, after several days of battle with the Soviet army, the inner self-confidence of Japanese soldiers and officers at all levels expanded to the extreme.

    However, such a quiet night on the battlefield obviously made the Japanese soldiers and officers in the trenches very uncomfortable. Imperial soldiers were eager to fight and liked to smell the smoke and blood on the battlefield. They also liked to see groups of soldiers.  Soviet soldiers fell under their own guns!

    Similarly, the quiet night on the battlefield made Lieutenant General Haruhiko, the commander of the rear guard group of the Japanese Far East Campaign, feel vaguely uneasy. It was an indescribable feeling, invisible and intangible, but it really existed in my mind.  The feeling made Lieutenant General Haruhiko very uncomfortable. He had no way of judging why the Soviet troops, who had been violently attacking the Imperial Army's positions regardless of casualties for the past few days, were strangely quiet on this night.

    Lieutenant General Haruhiko carefully filtered all the situations in his mind, trying to find the reason for the Soviet army's abnormality, but there was no result. The situation on the battlefield was still the same as before, except that except for one surprise move, he had eight thousand soldiers.  Many elite imperial soldiers have begun to sneak into the rear of the Soviet army's positions to destroy the Soviet artillery positions. This is a sharp blow that changes the battlefield situation.

    Without the advantage of artillery fire, Lieutenant General Haruhiko was confident that he could hold the Soviet army back here for more than two weeks. Regarding the Soviet army's unusual silence, Lieutenant General Haruhiko could only explain that in the past few days, the Soviet army had launched attacks without interruption, causing casualties.  The soldiers were exhausted and had to stop the attack and rest on the battlefield. The Soviet army's vigor was severely frustrated in front of the imperial soldiers. No Soviet general, who had some military common sense, would not insist on such a fatigue battle.  !

    "Tomorrow will be a more brutal battle, and the Soviet soldiers who have recovered their strength will launch a more ferocious attack!" Lieutenant General Haruhiko said to himself.

    And in this quiet night, more than 600,000 soldiers of the Soviet Union's Xing'anling Front rear guard were moving back to the front line as quickly as possible under the dark night. According to the order of the front army commander General Gregariff, all  Troops must move in covertly. All tanks, artillery vehicles, and trucks are not allowed to turn on lights or drive in the dark. Infantry is not allowed to make loud noises.

    It was not an easy task for more than 600,000 troops to advance at night, followed by a large number of equipment and baggage. However, General Gregariff's rich command experience made up for the shortcomings in this aspect. In order to maintain the high concealment of the rearguard, he sent  With the help of a large number of officers from the guard division directly under the front army, as well as the political department, security department, and intelligence department of the front army, a guidance point was set up several kilometers apart along the route of the rear guard troops.

    These officers also received a special order from the Front Army Headquarters, "Strictly supervise the enforcement of battlefield discipline by the incoming troops. If soldiers or officers who violate discipline are found, you have the right to deal with them on the spot until they are shot!"

    The distance of about forty kilometers was only about two hours for the highly organized Soviet rear guard. More than 600,000 Soviet soldiers, like dark clouds quietly gathering in the dark night, carried them with them.  A thundering force gathered opposite the Japanese position, but the Japanese soldiers lying in the cold and damp trench knew nothing about it.

    When the commanders of the various group armies and army commanders of the Soviet rear guard arrived at the front headquarters, they did not even have time to take a breath. They were immediately told by the serious-looking staff officers, "Please come to the front commander immediately.  Accept the mission!"

    General Gregariff was in an extremely excited state. He personally explained the specific details of the mission to every group army commander and commander who came to accept the mission. He even refused other senior generals in the front army headquarters and was willing to do it for himself.  It was a kind act of sharing the work. Even though his voice was hoarse, he still took the trouble to hand over the tasks to each general personally.

    General Gregariff knew very well that after adjusting his deployment, he devoted all his troops to the attack. This was the best opportunity to break through the Japanese blocking line, rescue the Far East Front from the Japanese encirclement, and change the situation of the Far East war in a short distance.  Don't trust yourself if you give it to anyone.

    "This is a historic blow that changed the battlefield situation!" After explaining all the tasks to the commanders of each unit, General Gregariff thought excitedly. Although he kept talking for more than two hours, he did not make any progress.  There was no feeling of fatigue. Even the irritability that had accumulated in my heart for many days was swept away and no longer existed. My mind became extremely clear. Everything on the battlefield appeared in my mind like a three-dimensional picture.  Among!

    General Gregariff's full-line offensive deployment is very simple to say, it is to add a few more breakthrough directions to the original breakthrough directions. However, the troops responsible for the new breakthrough directions have been recuperating for seven or eight days.  The rearguard troops, and more than half of the troops in the direction of the original breakthrough were also withdrawn and strengthened toA new breakthrough direction!
