    Tang Qiuli's judgment was very accurate. Half an hour after the telegram was sent, Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department, came to the headquarters and said, "Division Commander, Chief of Staff, the Germans sent us a telegram back in the name of Hitler. Thank you."  Everything we did in the Outer Mongolia battlefield and the Far East battlefield!" he said solemnly.

    Tang Qiuli took the telegram from Chen Feng and smiled at Zhao Yuhe as if he was victorious. A telegram full of Hitler style was displayed in front of him, "My old friend, for what you have done,  Everything, I and every German soldier will always remember in our hearts. Old friend, with more than 200,000 troops, you took the initiative to attack millions of Russian troops and are fighting bravely.  The spirit is worthy of learning from us Germans!¡±

    "I am extremely grateful to my old friend for his contribution to the great cause of Germany. In the post-war world arrangement, there will be rewards you can't expect. In addition, I would like to give you another piece of good news. Just a dozen or so years ago  An hour ago, Germany's Third Army Group on the battlefield of the British Isles had successfully ended its campaign to occupy the British mainland. More than 500,000 British and American allied forces had been annihilated. The British royal family and cabinet had fled to the United States.  Come on, that great London liar, Churchill, get out of here too!¡±

    "The Third Army Group that ended the Battle of Britain will soon be engaged in the war against Russia. According to the current speed of the German Army's advancement, all the contents of the 'Barbarossa Plan' will be completed before the end of April.  Old friend, I look forward to meeting you and your brave and capable army at that exciting moment in the Ural Mountains. I wish my old friend good health!¡±

    Tang Qiuli's heart moved. There were two points in Hitler's reply.  What moved him quite a bit was that, firstly, Hitler had already made a promise regarding the division of the post-war world pattern. Although this promise was still too early, it was what he wanted to see. Since Hitler took the initiative to speak, he  There is no need to be pretentious or pretend to be noble.  The most real food is what you get, and the rest is nonsense!

    Second point.  It was the meeting with the German army and the independent divisions in the Ural Mountains. This was Hitler's signal.  The war against the Soviet Union.  Hitler was full of confidence that he would win. The German army would not cross the Ural Mountains. In other words, Hitler would not get involved in the Asian part of the Soviet territory. Of course, this would only be if he had such strength.  Furthermore, Hitler did not consider the interests of the Japanese at all.

    ?In other words, in Hitler's mind, the Japanese were no longer worthy of being allies.  No matter which point, it is beneficial to itself. Even at the end of the war, Germany failed to completely occupy the Soviet Union's territory in Europe. If the Soviet Union was not destroyed, Hitler would not extend his hand to the east of the Ural Mountains. The strategy of the Far East  The pattern has been divided in advance. Although the Soviet-German war has just begun and is still going on. It is difficult to say who will win or lose. But I can basically get the territory of the Asian part of the Soviet Union!

    "Hitler is such a wonderful man, so considerate! It's not a loss to take the initiative - absolutely not a loss!" Tang Qiuli smiled happily, shook his head and sighed, "Director Chen, call Hitler back, I am an independent division  The troops will do everything possible, at the cost of heavy casualties, to hold back millions of Soviet troops for about a month, creating the greatest opportunity for the German army on the Soviet battlefield! "

    Of course, this is purely Tang Qiuli's attempt to deceive Hitler, but it will delay the Soviet army for about a month. However, the independent division troops will not pay heavy casualties, and will not even confront the Soviet army head-on.  He didn't even have any plans for a fight, and he was not a fool, so he had to go head-to-head with millions of Soviet troops!

    After listening to Tang Qiuli's words, even Zhao Yuhe and Chen Feng laughed. Zhao Yuhe said with a smile: "Master, you are willing to pay the price of heavy casualties!"

    Tang Qiuli laughed, "Of course I can't bear to do it! I will not make wedding clothes for others!" The laughter was full of pride.

    Just when Tang Qiuli was overjoyed at Hitler's telegram at the Saiyinsanda headquarters, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps' attack on the Soviet 37th Group Army had reached the stage of infantry assault.

    In an hour's sudden artillery attack, eight artillery brigades of the Independent Division and thousands of large-caliber howitzers poured more than 100,000 shells onto the Soviet position. The intensity and ferocity of the artillery fire made even the battle-hardened Soviet 3rd  The officers of the Thirty-Seventh Group Army were also stunned and shaken with shock.

    It has been predicted that the independent division will definitely weigh heavily on the main force of the front army. If there is an opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield, it will pounce on it and take a bite. The Soviet 37th Group Army is prepared for a fierce battle from top to bottom, leaving behind to serve as rearguard and cover.  The evacuation of the main force of the front army is a near-death mission in itself. It is very likely that the independent division troops will be entangled and unable to escape. If the independent division troops from other directions surround them, the thirdThe Seventh Army is in danger of being annihilated.

    However, among the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front, the 37th Group Army, which has experienced the test of the Sufen and Subo battlefields, can be regarded as the most elite unit. Of course, it has its own arrogance. With a strength of 160,000 to 70,000 troops  , equipped with a tank corps of more than 700 tanks, well-equipped, even if they can't win and want to leave, the Chinese are not able to keep it. After approaching Kulun, they and the 35th Army are at each other's horns, and the Chinese have nothing to do  !

    Therefore, Lieutenant General Hippolyv, commander of the 37th Group Army, gave the action order to each unit: "Repulse all enemies who dare to invade, inflict maximum damage to the enemy, and hold the position for twelve hours!"  In his opinion, there is no problem at all in holding until more than nine o'clock tomorrow morning. After completing the rearguard blocking task, according to the actual situation on the battlefield, you can fight or leave if you want. The main force of the front army has successfully left the battlefield, and the 37th Group Army has no pressure!

    As for the 43rd Army, which was surrounded by the independent division troops in Minusinsk and was completely wiped out, they can only say that they were unlucky and had bad luck. They stood out alone and fell into Tang Qiuli's trap. Hippolyv  The lieutenant general is not worried about this. Behind him is the 35th Army Group. The Chinese have not yet eaten up their appetite for a tough face-to-face battle.

    The Soviet 37th Group Army, with more than 100,000 troops, built two defensive positions in the direction of Saiyinshanda, stretching for dozens of kilometers. It blocked all the passages in the direction of the retreat of the main force of the pursuing front army. If the independent division troops wanted to take advantage of the opportunity,  To bite back, the two blocking lines of the 37th Army must be broken.

    The offensive deployment of the Independent Division's Outer Mongolia Field Corps is led by Battelle's armored force and two tank brigades. On the frontal battlefield, it is divided into two main assault directions. In the two assault directions, the commander of the regiment, Major General Sun Zhenbang,  Three brigades each with more than 50,000 troops were deployed, which was only about one-half of the total strength of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps.

    Sun Zhenbang's fighting style was deeply influenced by his division commander Tang Qiuli. He was most taboo about front-line push. He also understood the meaning of non-interference by the division commander when he and Battelle were given full command of the northern battlefield of Saiyinshanda. Therefore, in  When formulating the battle plan, Sun Zhenbang made up his mind. If he didn't fight, it would be enough. If he did, it would be a total annihilation and a good start!

    Sun Zhenbang discussed his ideas with Battelle. Battel had no objection at all. The two commanders agreed, and the battle plan was quickly implemented. One-half of the troops were used for frontal assault, and the other half was used for frontal assault.  The six infantry brigades were divided into left and right groups, which were to outflank the Soviet 37th Group Army on both sides. The frontal attacking troops used more artillery fire to maintain the rhythm of the attack and not to put excessive pressure on the Soviet army.

    Sun Zhenbang and Battelle have their own plans. If the frontal attack is too fierce and the pressure is too great, the Soviet army that cannot support it will retreat. The planned encirclement battle will become a pursuit battle, and the effect of annihilating the enemy will be greatly reduced.  To give full play to the power of artillery fire, on the one hand, it is to kill a large number of Soviet troops' effective forces. The main point is to delay the Soviet troops and buy enough time for the troops on the two wings to outflank.

    The overwhelming artillery fire overturned the forward positions of the 37th Soviet Army, shrouding the hastily built fortifications of the Soviet soldiers in a sea of ??gunpowder smoke and fire. I never imagined that the Chinese would be so dense and dense.  The Soviet soldiers complained endlessly under the fierce artillery fire. There were no bomb holes or shelters. The position was full of whistling and whirling shrapnel. The Soviet soldiers were left with flesh and blood everywhere and had nowhere to hide.

    Lieutenant General Hippolyv, commander of the 37th Soviet Army Group, was frightened by the ferocious artillery fire from the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. In his telescope, the first blocking line was covered with fire as dense as locusts.  The shells exploded into a sea of ????fire, and the soldiers' bodies were shattered into pieces in the smoke and fire caused by the explosion.

    "The artillery group of the group army! - What are you waiting for? - Huh? Haven't you seen the forward positions being shelled by the Chinese! - Counterattack, counterattack immediately, suppress the artillery fire of the independent division troops, and destroy the Chinese artillery positions  , Hurry!" Lieutenant General Hippolyv threw down the phone angrily, breathing heavily, "Slow response, such an artillery commander is completely incompetent!" He thought bitterly.

    The 37th Group Army also has two artillery divisions equipped with large-caliber howitzers. Together with the artillery divisions of each army, the total number of artillery may not be less than that of the independent division opposite. What is hateful is that the artillery commander of the group army  , behaved at a loss, or were frightened. It had been more than thirty minutes since the artillery fire of the Independent Division began, and they had not yet launched a counterattack. They saw the first blocking position being blown to pieces by Chinese artillery shells.

    "After we retreat to Kulun, we will definitely send that bastard commander of the front artillery to a military court to embarrass the 37th Army!" Lieutenant General Hippolyv, still angry, made a vicious plan.
