Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    General Gregariff, commander of the Soviet Union's Trans-Hinggan Mountains Front, ordered that news of the breakthrough of the Japanese blocking line be sent via clear code telegram to General Zhukov of the Far Eastern Front, who was surrounded by Japanese troops, and to all personnel in the headquarters.  The officers all felt incredible.

    The actions of the troops have always been kept secret. It is not too late to hide their whereabouts. Comrade Commander, you are like telling the Japanese commanders in the Far East with great fanfare that our Soviet troops are about to attack the battlefield in the Far East. It is unreasonable and I don¡¯t understand.  Although he was confused, but the order was unquestionable, the communications director of the front army had no choice but to order the radio station to send out the telegram in clear code, which was enough to affect the war situation in the Far East.

    No one could understand what General Gregariff was doing, but he had his own thoughts. Now, the Japanese troops on the Far East battlefield are attacking the core defense system of Zhukov's troops. It can be said that the Far East Army is in a precarious situation.  The Japanese army faced the possibility of breaking through the defense at all times. Once this clear telegram was sent, it would definitely be intercepted by the Japanese army radio station.

    In this way, my goal has been achieved. Yes, disrupt the determination of the Japanese commander, shake the determination of the Japanese army to attack the Far East Front, and reduce the pressure on Zhukov as much as possible before the Waixing'anling Front arrives at the Far East battlefield. What's more, the Japanese army  Wouldn¡¯t the Japanese commander on the opposite side report the news that the blocking line had been breached?

    If the Japanese army, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the siege of Zhukov's troops, would detach part of its troops and establish a second blocking line along the way, that would be more in line with their own ideas. As long as they can mobilize dozens of Japanese troops who besieged Zhukov's troops,  Ten thousand people is the greatest help to the Far East Front Army. No matter from which aspect, this clear telegram can have an unexpected effect!

    As the Soviet Eighteenth Group Army broke through the Japanese positions, more than an hour later, good news came one after another. Offensive troops from other directions successively broke through the Japanese positions. By noon, several main attacking directions  The Soviet troops on the battlefield all broke through the Japanese blocking positions, and during the breakthrough battle, the casualties of the troops were far lower than General Gregariff expected.

    The entire Japanese blocking position collapsed, becoming an irreversible situation. More than one million soldiers of the Soviet Union's Outer Xing'anling Front were marching through craters and the corpses of Japanese soldiers were rolling towards the Far East battlefield like a tide.  Stay and continue to divide the three group armies surrounding the Japanese army, and begin to separate the connections between the various Japanese army units on the entire front. The Japanese Army's rear guard group in the Far East Campaign is about to be destroyed!

    General Gregariff, the commander of the front army, had already begun to pack up and prepare to follow the main force of the front army. At this moment, the telephone that had not been disconnected suddenly rang, and a staff officer hurriedly picked up the phone.  , "This is the front army headquarters, where are you!"

    "What?? - Okay, I'll report it to comrade commander immediately!" The staff officer shook his head and muttered something.

    General Gregariff asked casually while wearing a military coat: "What's going on?" He was not worried. The situation on the battlefield was already under his control, and the remaining Japanese troops on the blocking line were also being divided and surrounded.  No matter how stubborn he was, he could not change the outcome, so he felt extremely relaxed.

    The staff officer replied: "Comrade Commander, we received a report from the 21st Army Group responsible for attacking the southernmost breach. During the attack, one of their division-level troops encountered a Japanese army unit. During the battle,  It was very fierce. According to the commander of the Ning Gei Army, this Japanese army, which had about 8,000 troops, was quite powerful in combat and the soldiers' individual qualities were extremely high. They actually defeated one of our divisions! "

    "Oh!" General Gregariff frowned in surprise, "What happened next?" he asked.

    The staff officer then replied: "Later, the group army sent two divisions of troops to surround the Japanese army. After several hours of fierce fighting, most of the Japanese army were killed and more than 500 people were captured. After interrogation, the prisoners of war were found to be  You know, this Japanese army unit was ordered by Haruhiko Taichi, commander of the rearguard group of the Japanese Far East Campaign, to bypass the frontal battlefield, go deep into the rear of our army, and sneak attack our artillery position. This task force, Haruhiko Taichi, is to stop us.  The supreme commander of the Japanese army!¡±

    "What?" General Gregariff was dumbfounded, feeling frightened for a moment. If the Reading Division troops had not retreated in accordance with the agreement, the gap of more than 40 kilometers wide between the forward and rear troops of the Outer Xing'an Mountains would have been no more than 8,000 people.  The Japanese army also has extremely strong combat effectiveness and individual soldier quality. It is easy to penetrate and succeed. It is unimaginable that if the artillery is lost, even one-third of the artillery is lost, today's offensive battle,  I'm afraid it will be a different scene, right?

    At the very least, it won¡¯t be as quick and smooth as it is now, which hurts?? will also increase exponentially. General Gregariff was frightened and relieved for a while. The time difference was only a few hours, and he almost let his artillery get caught. However, the goddess of luck still favored him, and the Chinese evacuated.  It¡¯s really timely!

    General Gregariff thought for a moment and said to the staff officer: "Call the 21st Army. Those Japanese prisoners of war will be shot on the spot after careful interrogation. They are all stubborn militarists and there is no need to stay.  Also, after ordering several armies to eliminate the remnants of the Japanese army, when they find the Japanese commander Haruhiko Taichi, they must not kill him, but must capture him alive! "

    General Gregariff was very clever. With a small elite force of more than 8,000 people, Lieutenant General Haruhiko almost changed the situation of the war. Although his troops were much weaker than his own, he blocked him for seven or eight days and allowed him to  The guy who had been beaten to death many times was quite curious, "If he hadn't been killed by a cannonball, this Japanese general Haruhiko would have fallen into his hands!" He thought to himself.

    When we walked out of the tent, the sun was shining brightly outside. In the distant wilderness, the melted snow water gathered into puddles like mirrors, reflecting the blazing sun. The smell of gunpowder smoke had not dissipated, and the sound of gunfire on the battlefield,  It was still intense, but the scale was much smaller. After taking a deep look at the battlefield that had made him miserable for six or seven days, General Gregariff sighed silently in his heart.

    The battlefield that had devoured the lives of hundreds of thousands of his soldiers and made him anxious day and night was now about to leave. With an indescribable feeling in his heart, he ducked into the car and said, "Let's go!" Gregariff said  The general gave simple instructions to the driver, and the convoy sped eastward along the bumpy mountain road, splashing clouds of mud and water. The roar of gunfire became more and more distant. Comrade Commander's mind was no longer on this battlefield.  And in the Far East battlefield hundreds of kilometers away!

    More than an hour after the Soviet Union's Trans-Hinggan Mountains Front broke through the Japanese Army's rearguard cluster blocking line in the Far East Campaign, the Soviet Lake Baikal Front Army, under the command of Commander General Kilganin, also broke through the Japanese Army's blocking line one after another.  A torrent surged towards the battlefield in the Far East.

    However, at this time, General Kilganin felt very uncomfortable. The Outer Khingan Mountain Front Army was leading everywhere, which made him feel uncomfortable. When he saw General Gregariff intercepted by the telecommunications department of the Front Army Headquarters, he sent a message in clear code.  After sending the telegram to Zhukov, he just said lightly, "Exhibition!" and drove away in a car. However, the staff officers at the front headquarters could all hear the strong jealousy in the commander's tone.  Taste!

    In this battle, there were more than two million soldiers on both sides of Japan and the Soviet Union. The fierce fighting lasted for six or seven days. The snow was dyed red with blood and the corpses were piled high. The rearguard group of the Japanese Army in the Far East was composed of more than 700,000 soldiers. More than 500,000 soldiers died in the battle and tens of thousands fled.  More than 10,000 people were captured, and tens of thousands were captured. This was also the largest number of Japanese soldiers captured since the Soviet army fought with the Japanese army. The two Soviet front armies also paid a considerable price, with a total of more than 30 casualties.  Thousands of people.

    However, breaking through the Japanese blocking battle meant that the plan of Prince Zai Ren, commander-in-chief of the Japanese Far Eastern Campaign, to encircle and annihilate Zhukov's troops of the Soviet Far Eastern Front was completely bankrupt. As a result, the Far Eastern War situation entered a new stage.

    The happiest thing was that in Moscow, Stalin, who was worried all day and night, was not very interested in the telegrams reported to the headquarters by the commanders of the two front armies. Instead, he greatly appreciated the clear telegrams sent by General Gregariff, saying, "Very much."  Yes, this clear telegram from Comrade Gregariff is tantamount to a declaration, declaring that Japan's strategic plan in the Far East is completely bankrupt! He said this to Marshal Petroshilov, Chief of the General Staff, with a sense of relief in his tone.  The relief even diluted the depression caused by having to cede the millions of square kilometers of land to Tang Qiuli.

    In Kulun, Outer Mongolia, at the headquarters of the Reading Division, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe took a telegram and walked into the office of division commander Tang Qiuli. As soon as he entered the door, Tang Qiuli said: "Yuhe, you came just in time.  , I was just about to find you, so I immediately arranged for the division commander to head to the Far East in the coming days to meet up with Deputy Commander Liu's headquarters. I'm afraid we will be in the Far East for a long time from now on!"

    Zhao Yuhe replied: "Commander, according to your order, I have made arrangements a long time ago. The division commander is ready to leave at any time. However, please take a look at this first. It is Director Chen and his communications department. They intercepted the Soviet outside  General Gregariff, the commander of the Xing'anling Front, reported the breakthrough of the Japanese blocking line to General Zhukov, the commander of the Soviet Far East Front. Is it really possible that the Soviets could have imagined this? The clear telegram - interesting! "

    "Oh? - Clear code telegram?" Tang Qiuli was very surprised. He took the telegram and read it carefully. After a long time, he sighed and said: "Yu He, this General Gregariff is so smart. This person is not  Simple!"
