    The frustrated Stalin

    ¡°More than 700 heavy tanks, 500 heavy tanks, more than 300 armored fighting vehicles, plus 12 armed helicopters that have been cruising over the battlefield with sufficient ammunition

    Such a huge torrent of steel swept back and forth in the Soviet military camp, fighting

    It is conceivable how much the Soviet field infantry will pay under such an attack after losing the tank cluster.

    When the sound of gunfire and the roar of tanks that had been ringing for several hours slowly subsided, the dark night was replaced by dawn.  Looking around, the large Soviet military camp in Nuovo is full of corpses of old soldiers and abandoned weapons and ammunition, but also the remains of Soviet tanks and car wrecks that are still burning with raging fire

    Of course, in the yellow military camp that was completely covered with Soviet corpses, the bloody roads were completely paved with Soviet blood and minced meat, and were crushed by tanks of the Wehrmacht, making the cold and solemn battlefield invisible.  It became more bloody and cruel.

    Before Li Guosheng actually entered the battlefield after receiving the telegram reporting his victory from the front, the thick smell of blood that permeated the battlefield hit his nostrils.  After taking a deep breath of the familiar yet unfamiliar smell of the battlefield, Li Guosheng, with a burning face surrounded by guards, stepped on the ground that was already stained red with blood, and strode into the battlefield.

    At this moment, Sun Liren, the direct commander of this counterattack, quickly walked towards Li Guosheng's position with excitement on his face.  Before he could reach Li Guosheng, the excited report reached Li Guosheng's ears.

    "General, we have won, we have won Of the 210,000 Soviet Red Army troops, less than 10,000 escaped the encirclement, and the remaining 200,000 troops were completely wiped out by us"

    "Good job" Seeing Sun Liren in front of him who was always smiling from the bottom of his heart because of his excitement, Li Guosheng praised with a smile.

    Then, seemingly infected by Sun Liren's excited expression, he couldn't help but sigh: "With completely unequal forces, the Soviet Union's 200,000 elite troops were completely annihilated through the frontal battlefield. I can say with certainty that after this news spread,  , our National Defense Force will once again become famous and shock the whole world with its powerful combat effectiveness."

    After finishing speaking, he asked Sun Liren in front of him: "Commander Sun, the current Soviet Red Army is no longer the backward-equipped army a year ago, but a new and well-equipped army. It can wipe out more than 200,000 elite Soviet Red Army troops at once.  Our gains must be huge. Tell me specifically, what our National Defense Forces gained last night"

    "Yes. The main seat" Sun Liren, who already had some rough information in mind, answered readily.

    Under the gaze of Li Guosheng and the subordinates behind Li Guosheng, Sun Liren reported: "Because the corpses of many Soviet soldiers on the battlefield were blown to pieces by artillery shells or crushed into pulp by our tanks, it was impossible to identify them one by one. Therefore, we  The enemy-annihilation data can only be expressed roughly"

    "According to statistics, our army captured a total of 68,491 Soviet Red Army personnel on the battlefield, including six Soviet Red Army lieutenant generals, 27 Soviet Red Army major generals, and 651 other school-level officers The number of Soviet Red Army corpses that can be determined on the battlefield is approximately 130,000,  Among them are two generals, 13 lieutenant generals, and 45 major generals. Because the number of school-level officers is too large, statistics are not included"

    Just when Sun Liren was about to continue his report, Li Guosheng, who looked attentive, suddenly interrupted him.  He asked in a heavy tone: "How come so many people were killed More than 200,000 Soviet Red Army soldiers captured more than 60,000 prisoners of war? Is it because the troops killed prisoners of war indiscriminately on the battlefield"

    Seeing Li Guosheng suddenly frowning in front of him, Sun Liren explained with relief: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief, we also want to capture more prisoners. However, the Soviet Red Army did not give us a chance During the entire battle, many Soviet Red Army soldiers even  Surrounded by us, he also showed his iron determination that he would rather die on the battlefield than be taken prisoner. In order to end the battle as soon as possible, I had to order the tank group to directly attack the Soviet infantry"

    "In addition, during last night's counterattack, all those on the frontal battlefield were tanks and armored vehicles. Even if one tank only wiped out fifty Soviet Red Army soldiers during the counterattack, the total number of more than a thousand tanks totaled almost 100,000. Add to that  With tens of thousands of infantrymen in the rear areas annihilating the enemy, 130,000 Soviet Red Army troops could be directly annihilated on the battlefield without any special effort on our part.¡±

    After five seconds of silence, Li Guosheng nodded in acquiescence, expressing his agreement with this statement.

    He continued to order Sun Liren: "I understand, you continue"

    Sun Liren breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "In addition to wiping out almost 200,000 Soviet Red Army troops, we also captured and destroyed all the heavy weapons and related logistics materials carried by the Soviet Union in its invasion of Outer Mongolia"

    ¡°During the entire counterattack, we destroyed all kinds of Soviet tanks and equipment.The total number of tanks is 938.  Various tanks were seized on the battlefield, with a total of 759 armored fighting vehicles.  1,059 military transport trucks of various types were seized"

    "The reason why so many vehicles and tanks were captured on the battlefield was all because the Soviet Red Army rushed to the battle and the fuel of various vehicles was insufficient. After the fuel of these vehicles was exhausted, in the face of our army's counterattack, the Soviet Union in the vehicle  The Red Army had to abandon these heavy weapons and retreat"

    "In addition to tanks, armored fighting vehicles, and various transport vehicles, we in the Soviet artillery group also captured more than 600 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 100 mm that were not destroyed by the Soviet army, and more than 20 intact heavy artillery shells of various calibers.  Wanfa¡­.¡±

    "The last major seizure was light weapons and the logistics reserves of more than 200,000 Soviet troops Although no specific statistics have been made, it is judged based on the total strength of the Soviet troops that invaded Outer Mongolia: 350,000. We seized  Various light infantry weapons are enough to equip an army of 300,000 people, and the various logistic reserves and corresponding ammunition captured are also enough for 300,000 Soviet Red Army troops to fight for two months"

    Hearing this, Li Guosheng couldn't help showing any happy smile on his face. Instead, he said to himself solemnly: "Now it seems that in order to deal with our National Defense Forces, Stalin avenged the original attack on the Soviet Far East Military Region.  The dedication is truly unparalleled.¡±

    "The 200,000-strong Far East Red Army is equipped with so much heavy equipment, and that's not counting the ones we destroyed in the two-day battle. I really can't imagine how much heavy equipment the 700,000-strong army that rose up in the entire Soviet Far East Military District still has.  , if all these heavy equipment are pressed against us, will our National Defense Force be able to stop it"

    After finishing speaking, he gave a serious order to Sun Liren in front of him: "Commander Sun, according to Stalin's temper, he will never give up on this defeat. Because, even if his Soviet Far East Military Region loses 300,000 troops, there are still seven  A hundred thousand people could attack us at any time.¡±

    "More importantly, through this decisive battle, the only trump card in our hand has been exposed to Stalin. Therefore, the battle that may break out can no longer be won through strategy and trickery. It must be won through head-on confrontation and frontal strength.  Fight to win.¡±

    "So. The heavy equipment we have captured in front of us will play a huge role in the follow-up operations against the Soviet Far East Army Now I order you to immediately mobilize all manpower and material resources. Conceal all the seizures to prevent the Soviet Union  The Air Force destroyed it"

    Looking at Sun Liren who quickly took the order and left in front of him, Luo Zhang, the commander of the Ninth Army who had lost more than half of his combat troops in more than ten days of fighting, suddenly asked: "Chief, so many heavy weapons are exciting to hear.  However, looking at the entire Outer Mongolia, no matter how many heavy weapons we have, no one uses them"

    Li Guosheng smiled and shook his head and replied: "Don't worry, hundreds of thousands of troops will come to receive and use these heavy weapons in half a month at the latest. As for the losses of the Ninth Army in the battle, I will also  I¡¯ll make it up to you within half a month.¡±

    "In addition, in order to make the Ninth Army more adaptable to fighting against the Soviet Far East Red Army, I will transfer a heavy tank division and an air defense division from the Armored Group Army to you. Of course, the artillery of a heavy artillery division is also indispensable. Here  I can tell you with certainty that the reorganized Ninth Army is definitely the one with the highest combat effectiveness among the dozen main forces of the National Defense Force. Because only your Thirteenth Army has truly passed the test of blood and fire"

    Every soldier hopes that the troops he commands will be strong.  Because only in this way can you have the courage to face a strong enemy, achieve the maximum price with minimum casualties, and allow your subordinates to survive the war.

    After hearing Li Guosheng¡¯s promise to himself, Luo Zhang was so excited that he didn¡¯t even react for a moment.  After being in a daze for five seconds, he was reminded by his subordinates and loudly assured the commander-in-chief: "Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured that all the soldiers of the Ninth Army will never live up to the expectations of the Commander-in-Chief. As long as the Ninth Army stays in Outer Mongolia for one day,  We will not allow a Soviet Red Army to break into China."

    Li Guosheng nodded in response and then fell into deep thought.

    Looking at the entire National Defense Force, among the millions of troops that have been reorganized, a large number of the National Defense Forces produce their own weapons and equipment, and their performance is no worse than that of the Soviet Red Army.  Therefore, one million elite members of the National Defense Force not only do not know how to use these heavy equipment, they even look down upon these Soviet-made heavy equipment.

    Therefore, when thinking about the specific ownership of this batch of heavy equipment, Li Guosheng's first target was the 350,000 former Northeastern Army and Shanxi-Sui Army who were still undergoing training in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

    In the original plan formulated by Li Guosheng, the entire process of completing the reorganization of the 350,000 Northeastern Army and Shanxi-Sui Army, rushing to Shenyang City for re-equipment, and finally actually arriving in Outer Mongolia the entire process would take at least two months.  So, for the sake of future?For combat needs, the troops Li Guosheng needs to rely on next are not the 350,000 troops, but the guard divisions and other combat units that quickly evacuated from North China.

    " However, with these heavy equipment and light weapons sufficient for an army of 300,000 people, Li Guosheng did not have to risk the security of North China being undermined again by hastily transferring the security division and other troops responsible for North China's security.

    Directly through the Air Force, the 350,000-strong army that has only completed reorganization will be airlifted to the grasslands of Outer Mongolia.  The 350,000 troops were temporarily equipped with the large quantities of weapons and equipment they had just captured, and they quickly formed combat effectiveness and joined the battle against the invasion of the Soviet Red Army.

    There is such a good opportunity to reuse the large amount of weapons and equipment that we have, and use weapons and ammunition made by the Soviet Union to destroy the Soviets.  Of course Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng will not let it go.

    Suddenly an unnoticed sneer flashed across his lips, and he ordered to the deputy director of the Operations Department behind him: "Director Li, immediately send a telegram to the chief of staff, ordering the chief of staff to quickly complete the investigation of 350,000 Jin in the Pingjin area.  The Sui Army and the former Northeastern Army were reorganized. Then, 350,000 soldiers were airlifted to Outer Mongolia for replacement in the shortest possible time using a transport group directly under the Air Force"

    "The various units of the guard division that are being assembled will immediately stop their military operations towards Outer Mongolia and return to their original stations to continue carrying out their original combat missions."

    A large transport aircraft with a load of five tons can only carry up to fifty fully armed infantry during wartime.  However, after throwing away all weapons and equipment.  This transport plane can transport 65 soldiers at one time.

    Based on the calculation that a transport aircraft can fly back and forth between Peiping and Outer Mongolia twice a day, the air force's direct transport group can transport a field division to Outer Mongolia in one day, totaling 15,000 soldiers.

    In other words, from the time Li Guosheng issues the order, within one month at the latest, there will be 350,000 more well-equipped reserve troops in Outer Mongolia.

    By then, even the more than 600,000 remaining troops of the Soviet Far East Army will press towards the Sino-Soviet border.  With so many troops at hand, Li Guosheng need not worry too much.  Because, although more than 300,000 reserve troops have no offensive capability.  However, there is no problem in letting them carry out passive defense when they are well-equipped.

    When Li Guosheng¡¯s face revealed a smile from the bottom of his heart because of this sudden bold idea.  Stalin, who was far away in Moscow, was like an angry lion. His face was so red that he could almost bleed. He stared at the Chief of General Staff of the Red Army in front of him without saying a word

    After the increasingly solemn atmosphere in the office lasted for five minutes, the Chief of Staff of the Red Army asked in a low voice: "Comrade Stalin, although our losses are huge, the strength of the Soviet Far East Army is still there. We still have a way to avenge our previous shame.  , the opportunity to completely defeat the Chinese National Defense Forces on the battlefield"

    "Opportunity" Upon hearing these two words, a trace of loneliness flashed across Stalin's usually confident face.

    Because Stalin sitting in front of him has been put into the hands of the Wehrmacht more than once.  The confident Stalin was afraid that he had just mustered up the courage to use the remaining Soviet Far East Army to defeat the Wehrmacht.  Another piece of news of failure reached his ears.

    By then, Stalin would have lost not only the hundreds of thousands of remaining Red Army elites in the Far East Military Region, but also the honor of being the chairman of the Soviet government and his inner self-confidence.

    Therefore, Stalin, who had already had some concerns in his heart, discovered that he, the chairman of the great Soviet government, was full of aggrievedness towards the Wehrmacht, his life-and-death enemy.

    However, in front of his subordinates, Stalin still did a good job of hiding the frustration in his heart.  After letting out a long sigh, he once again focused his attention on the telegram in his hand.

    One minute, two minutes

    After another five minutes of silence in the Novo University office, Stalin, who raised the telegram in his hand, finally said: "Comrade Chief of Staff, before we make a specific decision, we must analyze the telegram in front of us"  .¡±

    "The telegram reported that during last night's counterattack by the National Defense Forces, the National Defense Forces installed a number of new tanks that we have never seen before. In the face of this kind of super-heavy tanks, the heavy tanks that our army has just put into service for half a year are basically useless.  There is no room to fight back. However, the 105 mm caliber tank gun equipped with the super-heavy tanks of the National Defense Force can easily destroy our heavy tanks from one kilometer away"

    "This is oneSecond, the report also shows: During the counterattack last night, the National Defense Forces counterattack force also used a new type of aircraft that can hover in the air, has powerful firepower and is indestructible"

    "Under the attack of this new type of aircraft, whether it is a powerful medium tank or the former enemy headquarters of the Far Eastern Army with a large number of guards, they are all vulnerable Not only that, this new type of aircraft is still fighting in just a few hours  in, ?"At least six of our army's division-level and above headquarters were destroyed in the air, becoming one of the main culprits in the collapse of our 200,000-strong frontline force of the Far East Army under the counterattack of the National Defense Forces"

    Having said this, Stalin, whose face became increasingly solemn, quickly turned his attention to the Chief of General Staff of the Red Army in front of him, and asked bluntly: "Chief of Staff, do you think that the contents of the telegram are true-"

    "The National Defense Forces, a local force, actually developed heavy tanks that are more advanced than ours in a short period of time, and even developed a new combat aircraft that we have never heard of or seen that can levitate in the air"

    After thinking briefly, the Chief of General Staff of the Red Army replied solemnly: "Comrade Stalin, although I have doubts about the contents of the report. However, after analysis, I still choose to believe There are two reasons for this."

    "First, the Red Army soldiers who broke out from the battlefield were not one person, but more than 10,000. I believe that no matter how much the frontline commanders lied about the military situation, they would not dare to come up with a piece of false news to fool us. Because, we can start from  The real reason why more than 10,000 Red Army soldiers who broke through quickly received frontline battle reports"

    "Second, since we have been in contact with the National Defense Forces, we have suffered more than once in the face of various advanced equipment of the National Defense Forces. Therefore, I have a judgment that although the National Defense Forces have not yet unified the Republic of China, they must have a powerful force in their hands.  The scientific research team is dedicated to developing a steady stream of new weapons and equipment for the National Defense Forces"

    At this point, the aggrieved expression that had been hidden by Stalin just now appeared directly.

    Because, the frustration at this moment not only included Stalin¡¯s various scruples in not being able to make a direct bet with the Wehrmacht using hundreds of thousands of Soviet Far East troops as bargaining chips, but also the fact that the scientific research capabilities of a local force in the Wehrmacht exceeded that of the Soviet government where he was located.

    With an aggrieved look on his face, he cursed loudly at the chief of staff in front of him: "They are all trash, they are all a bunch of trash The government creates the best conditions and treatment for them every year, but the research results are not as good as those of the National Defense Forces."  Local power.¡±
