    Zhukov knew that his question had no meaning. If Moscow responded with a telegram, no matter what the final decision was, Godaev would tell him immediately, but he still wanted to ask. Perhaps it was a hope in the face of despair.  , or to divert the feeling of despair that there is nothing to do.

    Chief of Staff Godayav smiled bitterly, "Comrade Commander, no - I have ordered the radio room to be turned on around the clock. As soon as there is news, we will report it as soon as possible. However, so far, Moscow has not responded to our telegram.  It keeps repeating, "Please wait patiently." According to my guess, the Supreme Command has not yet made a final decision and is currently discussing it!"

    Zhukov sighed silently, "Regarding the situation of the war in the Far East, the telegram has been sent out for four or five days. For such a long time, the high command is still hesitating, but it does not know that the dangerous situation facing the Far East Front Army, if it is delayed for one more day, Japan will  The more the noose is tightened around one's neck, the more the battlefield's living space will be compressed!"

    Zhukov even thought that even if Comrade Stalin made it clear that it was impossible to mobilize troops to return reinforcements, the Far East Front would wish itself well. In this way, he could make up his mind and fight to the death, suffering like this in the endless wait.  , which not only tortures people's psychology, but also loses many opportunities to change the situation on the local battlefield. However, thinking about it, before Moscow makes a statement, it can only wait in pain!

    Chief of Staff Godayav, looking at the gloomy eyes of Comrade Commander, tentatively suggested: "Comrade Commander, should we send a telegram to the General Staff again to emphasize the dangerous situation the Far East Front is currently in and urge Moscow  Make a decision soon?"

    Zhukov shook his head.  It's not necessary. The big bosses of the General Staff and the General Headquarters are all experienced generals. They don't know the authenticity of the contents of their telegrams, and they don't know the actual situation on the battlefield in the Far East.  But it is understandable why the high command was hesitant and delayed in issuing a clear order. There was only one reason: it was in a dilemma and it was rescuing the Far East Front.  He made a difficult choice between resisting the German army's arrival in Moscow.

    "Comrade Chief of Staff, let's not think about this matter anymore. At present, the most important thing to do is to order the troops. Make all preparations for battle defense, especially the troops on the left and right wings. We cannot allow the Japanese army to continue to compress our battlefield.  Space, counterattack, spare no effort to counterattack, keep our defense area deep enough, go ahead and convey the order!" Zhukov said tiredly.

    Looking at his chief of staff, after recording the order, Zhukov rubbed his face several times with his rough hands, as if this could dispel the clouds in his heart and the fatigue all over his body, and said: "Comrade Chief of Staff,  I'm going to rest for a while. If there's any emergency, wake me up immediately!" After the order.  Zhukov's tall and slightly hunched figure had staggered and disappeared into the tent.

    As he walked towards the narrow shell-proof hole, the cold wind carrying a salty smell blew outside. Zhukov couldn't help but shiver and wrapped his military coat tightly.  He suddenly remembered the Outer Mongolia Front Army, which was an independent evacuation direction. What is Vasilevsky's current situation?

    If the Outer Mongolian Front successfully reaches the European battlefield, perhaps Comrade Stalin will consider fully rescuing the Far East Front?  Zhukov smiled bitterly and tried to get rid of this unrealistic idea. The Chinese Tang Qiuli would not let Vasilevsky go away easily. Maybe the Outer Mongolia Front Army was in a worse situation than himself. At the same time,  , he was also a little angry with himself, "When did I, Zhukov, place my destiny on others?"

    In Kulun, the capital of Outer Mongolia, the 35th Army of the Soviet Union's Outer Mongolia Front fled without a fight. Sun Zhenbang's regiment, which had given up on Kulun and was ready for a big fight, recaptured Kulun without firing a single shot.  Today, the independent division's temporary headquarters also moved to Cullen.

    Because Liu Tiehan successfully used mine arrays on the line from Chita to Irkutsk, blocking the two Soviet front troops from moving. The original plan was for Sun Zhenbang's regiment to immediately reinforce the Far East battlefield after regaining Kulun. Now it seems that it has been  There was no need, so Tang Qiuli issued an order for the Outer Mongolia Field Corps and the Independent Division Armored Corps to rest and recuperate in Kulun City.

    For Sun Zhenbang, the days of rest are boring and difficult. The Outer Mongolia Field Corps has just gained a little energy and has become a field corps. From officers to soldiers, morale is like a rainbow, and they are gearing up to fight again.  War, at this moment, it is time to strike while the iron is hot. With this momentum, fight more battles and train the troops. Sun Zhenbang believes that with a few more big battles, the Outer Mongolia Field Corps will be basically mature.

    But at the critical moment, the division commander ordered the troops to rest and reorganize. Several regiments fighting in the northern region were all fighting vigorously. Only his own troops rested and reorganized. SunZhenbang didn't understand the teacher's intentions. In private, he complained a lot and made strange remarks.

    Of course, Sun Zhenbang would never dare to express his dissatisfaction with complaints and weird words in front of his division commander Tang Qiuli, but in front of Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, he couldn't help it, "Chief of Staff  You said that you also know what the division commander is thinking. The Outer Mongolia Field Corps is now like a red block of iron that is being smelted together on the battlefield. Why don¡¯t you take advantage of the heat and hit it with a few hammers to take shape as soon as possible?  , the division commander would do well to order the troops to rest where they are!"

    Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe looked at the dissatisfied Sun Zhenbang with a smile and said, "What do you mean by Commander Sun?"

    When Sun Zhenbang saw the chief of staff talking to him, he continued his complaint: "When the troops are high in fighting spirit and eager to fight, the division commander's order is like pouring buckets of cold water on red-hot iron.  Well, it's not good. Not only will it dampen the enthusiasm of the troops, but it will also throw iron pieces out of the cracks. My point is very simple. The Outer Mongolia Field Corps immediately plunges into the battlefield. It is okay to shoulder the combat mission in one direction alone.  You can also cooperate with other regiments in fighting, I, Sun Zhenbang, am not picky about food!"

    Zhao Yuhe looked at Sun Zhenbang, who was getting a little angry, and couldn't help laughing secretly in his heart, and suggested: "Commander Sun, why don't you report these ideas to the division commander?"

    Not to mention, Sun Zhenbang really went to see his division commander Tang Qiuli. However, in front of the division commander, Sun Zhenbang had no temper at all. He could not dare to say a word of the complaints he said to the chief of staff.  Son hesitated, said hello and left. Tang Qiuli also knew Sun Zhenbang's intention, and deliberately did not reveal it. Just like that, Sun Zhenbang came to teach him several times a day, just like visiting.

    Sometimes, in order to be bolder and more persuasive, I would also bring in the armored commander Battelle, but Battelle declared in advance, "You can accompany me to see the division commander, but I will never help you speak!"

    On this day, Sun Zhenbang and Battelle had just left. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came to Tang Qiuli's office with several telegrams in his hand. He closed the door and said with a smile: "Commander, Commander Sun is here to see you again."  , he doesn¡¯t feel tired even after a day trip?¡±

    Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Sun Zhenbang wants to fight, he is going crazy, but I don't have any tasks for him now. The corps directly under him is on the western front, facing the Soviet Outer Mongolia Front Army, and is proceeding according to the plan, Deputy Liu  The division commander was on the battlefield in the Far East and watched the Soviet army crawl every day. Now he is very leisurely. The situation of the war is like this. There is no other way but to put Sun Zhenbang on standby. By the way, Yu He, what kind of telegram? "

    Zhao Yuhe slapped his forehead and said hurriedly: "Commander, I am from the Intelligence Department regarding the Far East battlefield. Zhukov's troops, the three armies that evacuated the battlefield early, were attacked head-on by the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force and the North Korean garrison. Almost the entire army  The Japanese army was destroyed and pushed back to the original battlefield. The Japanese troops commanded by Zai Ren are tightening the net. The situation of the Soviet Far East Front troops is in danger! "

    Tang Qiuli took the telegram, read it over, and then said: "From the time Zhukov became aware of the Japanese intention to the failure to take action, several days passed, and no Soviet troops were seen on the line from Chita to Irkutsk.  , there are signs of backing up, Stalin is making a dilemma!¡±

    "If we turn back to rescue Zhukov's troops, the battle will be long-lasting and cannot end as soon as possible. The Soviet troops heading to the European battlefield in the Far East will be dragged back to the Far East. The German offensive is very fierce. Yesterday, the German General Staff conducted a routine  In the briefing on the war situation, it was mentioned that a battle encirclement of Moscow could be formed in late May or early June at the latest. Stalin obviously did not want to see this situation happen. If there was no rescue, a front army with more than one million soldiers  The troops were eaten one by one by the Japanese, and Stalin was still heartbroken!"

    Zhao Yuhe thought for a while and said: "Commander, judging from the current battlefield situation, Stalin does not need to order the Transkhinggan Mountains Front Army and the Baikal Front Army to return all reinforcements. He only needs one front army unit, and the remaining troops are  We can return to the European battlefield according to the original plan. Deputy Commander Liu's mine array cannot delay the Soviet army for a long time!"

    Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "It would have been possible to do this before the appearance of the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force and the North Korean garrison army, but it is different now. Zai Ren has three troops with a total strength of nearly two million. The Soviet Army  A front army unit returns to reinforce, but it does not have an advantage in strength, and it will end up being trapped. Zai Ren has the capital in his hands and dares to engage in a large-scale decisive battle with the Soviet army! "

    "If both front armies turn around to rescue the Far Eastern Front and return to the previous deadlock, the battle will be delayed. What will happen to Soviet Europe and Moscow? Hitler will not leave himself much time.  , So, Stalin has a huge headache now!¡±
