Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Chief of Staff of the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front, Lieutenant General Bozhnev, had to report the disappearance of the commander and political commissar of the Air Force's Far East Forward Command, General Jonasov, to the commander, General Vasilevsky.

    General Vasilevsky¡¯s mentality was almost broken. While he regretted it, he also secretly hated General Jonasov for not listening to his own advice and insisting on doing something else.

    Originally, in order to express my sincerity, reflect the harmonious relationship between close comrades in different units of the Soviet Red Army, and facilitate contact, I prepared a very good office location for the Air Force Far East Forward Command in Yekaterinburg, where the Front Army Headquarters is located. However,  What did Jonasov say, "You should live with your own pilots to better understand the dynamics of the battlefield!"

    What is the result? If you listen to yourself and live in Yekaterinburg, can you live without seeing anyone and die without seeing corpses?

    General Vasilevsky, the first reaction was that this matter was directly related to the attack by a small group of independent division troops at the airport, but these are not important. What is important is how to report the matter to Moscow.

    The call of Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Bozhnev woke him up from his chaotic thoughts. In an instant, early this morning, all the unpleasant things piled up together, and the pent-up anger burst out uncontrollably, "Immediately  Arrest the bastard battalion commander and the battalion political commissar of the 57th Airport Security Battalion and shoot him!" he roared at the chief of staff.

    Chief of Staff Bozhnev quickly replied: "Comrade Commander, before this, I have sent people from the Front Security Department to Airport No. 50. To investigate the situation on site, and to investigate the two battalion commanders and those who neglected their duties.  Battalion political commissar executed!"

    General Vasilevsky, like a deflated rubber ball, fell down on the chair. His fat body made the chair make a painful "squeaking" sound. He asked feebly: "Comrade Bozhnev,  What is the result of the investigation? How can we conclude that Comrade Jonasov disappeared instead of died? "

    Chief of Staff Bozhnev, of course, knew the meaning of the commander's question. He also hoped that Jonasov would die during the exchange of fire with a small sneak attack force of the Independent Division, or be killed by a violent explosion, even if  It would be nice to have a mutilated corpse here.  In this case, at least there would be an explanation to the superiors, but the results of the investigation were not what the commander and himself had hoped for.

    The stakes are high.  He had to tell the truth, "Comrade Commander, Admiral Jonasov's residence is quite a distance away from the exploded oil depot. The explosion cannot reach it, and. Our investigators found that Admiral Jonasov  The general's orderly was killed in his room, the safe and the confidential documents on his desk were all missing, and the two sentries at the door were also killed with cold weapons. "

    "Also, while our investigators were questioning the soldiers of the guard, a corporal named Alyosha provided an important information. Thirty minutes before the explosion, General Jonasov, aboard  A truck left the airport together with another truck. Thirty minutes later, a violent explosion occurred at the airport oil depot. Subsequently, the airport guard camp was bombarded by mortars, causing heavy casualties. This is what happened.  , Therefore, it can be concluded that General Jonasov was hijacked by a small group of independent division troops who destroyed the airport. "

    After hesitating, Chief of Staff Bozhnev continued: "Comrade Commander, you know very well that General Jonasov has a large number of military secrets, including the specific attack time and plan of our front army, troop deployment, and other  The specific situation of the two fronts, the air force's bombing plan, the performance and number of combat aircraft, etc., are a living intelligence database. It fell into the hands of the Chinese. Our campaign plan to attack Outer Mongolia can be said to be completely useless.  It¡¯s a secret!¡±

    General Vasilevsky, of course, knew that the serious consequences of Jonasov falling into the hands of a small force of the Independent Division meant that the attack plan he had formulated was already on the desk of the Chinese Tang Qiuli.  .

    Seeing the commander¡¯s silence, Chief of Staff Bozhnev asked: ¡°Comrade Commander, how do we report this situation to the General Staff and Air Force Headquarters?¡±

    General Vasilevsky sighed heavily and said: "Since you can't hide it, report it truthfully. Also, issue an order to each airport security battalion to dispatch them all. According to their respective warning ranges, you must find those independent divisions."  Even if the traces of the small force are traced to the ends of the earth, Comrade Jonasov must be rescued. Even if it is a corpse, it is better than falling into the hands of the Chinese Tang Qiuli alive. "

    "Order the troops stationed on the front line of the Ural Mountains to strictly block all passages, order the troops stationed in Samara and Chelyabinsk to block all areas on the southern line, and cooperate with the search troops to launch a comprehensive search. Remember,  Never let this happen?Damn Chinese, sneak back to Outer Mongolia!  "

    General Vasilevsky is really popular. He wants to form a big net as far as possible to trap Chutian's special operations detachment in the net.

    Chief of Staff Bozhnev reminded: "Comrade Commander, are we using too many troops? There are more than 70 airports that our front army is responsible for guarding. If we include the troops on the southern front, there are probably more than 90,000 troops."  Is this necessary for human strength?¡±

    General Vasilevsky, with blood-red eyes, said with a fierce look: "It is absolutely necessary. This is just the first batch of troops. In addition, you give an order to the 37th Group Army to allocate one division of troops and take all the troops.  Armored vehicles form a mobile unit to participate in the search for those damn Chinese. Even if they search every inch of land west of the Ural Mountains, we must find them and eliminate them all. Tell all search forces to try to catch them alive.  Yes, I really want to know how these independent division soldiers sneaked into the rear of our army! "

    General Vasilevsky never expected that just because of this order, Chutian's special operations detachment would be given the opportunity to survive the desperate situation, and break out of the Soviet encirclement again and again, and finally  After getting rid of hundreds of thousands of pursuing troops, it took more than two months to finally return to the battlefield in Outer Mongolia.

    After issuing these orders, General Vasilevsky said to Chief of Staff Bozhnev: "Order the engineering troops to build all the roads in the Ural Mountains within five days. If the task cannot be completed, the engineering troops will  The commanders and political commissars will be sent to military courts and the orders from the front army headquarters will be conveyed to each group army. The attack time will be postponed to 6:00 a.m. on March 16th! "

    Chief of Staff Bozhnev asked: "Comrade Commander, the offensive deployment has definitely been exposed. Does it need to be modified, especially the plan to attack Minusinsk and Kulun, as well as the coordination of Air Force combat aircraft, these are all  It takes time, five days, isn¡¯t it too stressful for the engineering troops?¡±

    General Vasilevsky's eyes showed a cold light like a gambler, and he said: "There is no need to adjust the offensive deployment. After getting the information, the Chinese Tang Qiuli will definitely think that it will take longer for me to change the deployment.  I have time to prepare. Well, I will keep my plan and launch the attack as quickly as possible to catch him off guard. More than a million troops will press forward together. No matter how cunning the Chinese is, in the face of absolute advantage, any  All conspiracies and tricks will be useless!¡±

    "As for the Air Force, we have no right to interfere. It will take longer to repair the airport. We don't have time to wait. Moreover, our Outer Mongolia Front Army has not yet reached the point where it cannot fight without the aircraft. Give the order! And!  , as soon as the call back from Moscow comes, send it over!¡±

    Chief of Staff Bozhnev saluted and left in a hurry. General Vasilevsky leaned weakly on the table, rubbing his aching temples with both hands, feeling a little uneasy. He didn't know what Moscow was receiving.  What will be the reaction after the report?

    Moscow responded quickly. More than an hour later, telegrams from the General Staff and the Air Force Headquarters arrived almost at the same time. Chief of Staff Bozhnev hurriedly sent them over. After reading the telegrams, General Vasilevsky finally  Breathed a sigh of relief.

    Fortunately, there was no serious self-blame in the telegram, nor was there any intention to pursue responsibility. Moreover, the opinions of the General Staff Headquarters and the Air Force General Headquarters were surprisingly consistent. They both urged the Outer Mongolia Front Army to use all means to  To rescue General Jonasov, he must see his body alive and dead. This coincides with his own intention, which is to never let Jonasov fall into the hands of the Chinese Tang Qiuli.  .

    However, there is a sentence in both telegrams, "After Comrade Stalin heard about this matter, he was extremely concerned and gave special instructions. On the premise of not affecting the plan to attack the independent division troops, this matter should be handled by the commander of the Outer Mongolia Front Vasilyevs.  Comrade Ji, have full authority to handle it and report the progress of the search at any time!¡±

    Pressure, huge pressure. The fact that General Jonasov was hijacked by a small group of independent division troops caught the eye of the Supreme Leader. In the eyes of General Vasilevsky, this is not a good thing. It means  , there must be a result, otherwise, I will not be able to explain it to the leader, and the consequences will be serious.

    Putting down the telegram, General Vasilevsky looked at Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Bozhnev with a worried look on his face and said: "Comrade Bozhnev, Comrade Stalin has given instructions. It is up to us to search for Comrade Jonasov."  The front army is responsible for this, but there are no results and cannot be explained to Comrade Stalin.¡±

    "It seems that a special command organization must be established to uniformly command the search force. No matter what, the whereabouts of Comrade Jonasov must be found. Based on your experience, who is more suitable to send to command the search force? This person needs  Have strong coordination skills and rich reconnaissance experience??!  "
