    Regarding Li Yanping's worries, Yang Zhen smiled slightly and said: "Old Li, I have thought about what you said. But what we want is this time difference. Besides, if they can let the always stingy people bleed so much this time, I'm afraid there will be more  Other reasons. Although the 23rd Division has withdrawn from Mongolia, it does not mean that these guys have left the so-called Manchurian-Soviet border. "

    "Compared with other divisions of the Kwantung Army, the 23rd Division, which fought with the Soviet army in Nomenhan, is the division with which the Soviet army is most familiar. No matter where this division is placed, it will always be a threat to Mongolia.  Threat. Now that most of the Soviet troops stationed in Mongolia have been transferred, the remaining ones are simply unable to support the entire Mongolian defense. As long as we maintain a strong force in the provinces west of Xing'an, the Japanese army will not dare to enter Mongolia. "

    "And Lao Li, no matter what the purpose of the Soviets is, it is the most beneficial to us at the moment. As long as it is beneficial to us, we have nothing to worry about. Although the light equipment there is not what we need, the artillery, especially the  The large-caliber 122 and 152 howitzers are exactly what we urgently need.¡±

    "As for those light equipment, judging from the number of weapons stored by the Soviets in Bagabandi, we can use that batch of weapons and ammunition to arm the two divisions of the customs internal forces according to our establishment. Even the customs internal troops will not be able to use them for the time being.  Come on, can we also use it as a reserve?¡±

    "No one will find the equipment bitchy. These Type 08 Mosinagan rifles, as well as the Deggarev light machine gun and the two-wheeled Maxim heavy machine gun, are at least more powerful and reliable than the Japanese Type 38  Rifles and crooked light machine guns are much better. It¡¯s good to keep them as reserves. Although they are second-hand goods, they are much better than nothing.¡±

    "This batch of equipment will be stored first, and will be handed over to the central government after the land connection with the pass is established. As for us, we must seize the time to familiarize ourselves with the use of Soviet-made large-caliber howitzers so that they can come in handy in the next battle.  Although these Soviet howitzers are a bit too bulky, their power and range are much greater than those of Japanese howitzers."

    Although the results of Yang Zhen's guess cannot be said to be 100% accurate, at least most of them were correct.  It is true that the Japanese army has withdrawn from Mongolia, but the 23rd Division has not been transferred far away and is stationed on the line from Linxi to Lubei.  So that we can go west to Mongolia and north to Hailar at any time.

    Of course, when Kovalev signed this agreement, he did not know that all Japanese troops had withdrawn from Mongolia.  But afterwards, instead of pursuing these two men, the Soviets quadrupled the originally promised supply of small arms.  There are almost hundreds of millions of 7.62mm bullets.

    And they are all delivered in the shortest time in accordance with the requirements of the Anti-League.  During the handover, a deputy director of the Military Region Logistics Department who went to receive the order was stunned.  Although the amount of equipment has not increased, the fuel supply to the Anti-League has been much improved.  It's no longer like before, just drag it when you can.  The supply of oil throughout May and early June is almost greater than the overall volume from November to April last year.

    After receiving the report from the Military Region Logistics Department, Yang Zhen smiled and didn't care.  He knew that the German army, which was currently in the final preparations for the war against the Soviet Union, was conducting more and more frequent reconnaissance of the western region of the Soviet Union.  Although the German army tried its best to conceal its reconnaissance operations, it was impossible for such reconnaissance operations to be completely exposed.  At the very least, aerial cross-border reconnaissance cannot be concealed.

    Although the Soviet leader still did not believe that the German army would attack the Soviet Union this year, in order to avoid giving the Germans an excuse, even German aircraft crossing the border were not allowed to be shot down.  But everyone can smell the smell of gunpowder on the Soviet-German border.  At this time, the stability of the eastern border is very important to the Soviets.

    In Yang Zhen¡¯s view, this batch of equipment is just some of the purchase fees paid by the Soviet army to ensure the security of all fronts in the east.  Because if others in the Anti-Japanese Alliance didn't know it clearly, Yang Zhen knew how strong the smell of gunpowder on the Soviet-German border was at this time.

    Compared with the troubles on the western border, the following troubles in the so-called Japanese-controlled areas of Mongolia and Manchuria were beyond the expectations of the Soviet General Staff and even Yang Zhen, which made Yang Zhen take more advantage of these over-delivered ammunition and supplies.  Peace of mind.  Therefore, in response to the Logistics Department's request for instructions, Yang Zhen only approved one sentence: "You must give as much as you want, and you must feel at ease when you take it."

    During the handover process of this batch of ammunition, compared to the western battlefield where the smell of gunpowder was already very strong, in fact, for the Soviets, there was also a lot of trouble on the eastern border.  Although the Japanese 23rd Division withdrew from Mongolia, it was still stationed on the Linxi line not far from the Mongolian border.  Small-scale conflicts between the two sides on the border continue.

    Although tens of thousands of captured troops were recovered, and some personnel were recruited, the Mongolian People's Army, which finally restored its troops to its establishment, was not the opponent of the Japanese army at all during the conflict.??.  In several border battles, the Mongolian People's Army without Soviet fire support was severely beaten.  Moreover, the newly recruited troops need training. The Mongolian People's Army is still facing a situation of insufficient strength.

    But now that most of the Soviet troops stationed in Mongolia have begun to move westward, the support they can provide to these Mongolian People's Army is also quite limited.  Faced with the provocation of the Japanese army on the border, the Soviet troops stationed in Mongolia had long lost the intensity and speed of response during the Battle of Nomonhan, let alone the confidence they had back then.

    However, although the two sides continue to have small conflicts on the border, the current situation between the two sides seems to have a tacit understanding.  The Japanese army harassed the border many times, and some troops even penetrated dozens of kilometers into Mongolia and stayed there for half a month.  But there has never been a real large-scale invasion.

    ¡°The Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces in Mongolia also relied on various improvised positions along the border to provoke the Japanese army. They either stood firm or took advantage of artillery fire to kill and injure the Japanese army.  Apart from occasionally using mechanized troops to make quick attacks, the main force rarely takes the initiative and only defends a few important strategic points in the southern region.

    As long as the Japanese troops entering Mongolia are expelled, they will never take the initiative to enter Japanese-occupied areas.  If the Japanese army provokes outside the border, even if it goes too far, it's as if they didn't see it.  The actions of both sides on the border seemed to be a tacit understanding.  You come and go, but you are careful to avoid large-scale battles.

    Faced with the provocative behavior of the Japanese army on the border and the complicated situation.  In order to have a stable eastern border in the future war against Germany.  Although he was a little reluctant, he also adopted a tacit attitude towards Yang Zhen's blackmail.

    According to the intelligence that Yang Zhen later obtained, even after the Soviet leader found out about this incident, he just made fun of Yang Zhen and said nothing.  Although he did not express his position clearly, it was equivalent to acquiescing to the small actions of the General Staff in private.

    Since the uncompromising leader has acquiesced, the sober-minded senior generals among the top brass of the Soviet army will not feel distressed.  Even the chief of the Soviet General Staff, who had given the Japanese a heavy blow in Nomonhan and had a good understanding of the Japanese army's true combat effectiveness, privately gave orders to the Siberian Military District.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????Except for leaving some to reorganize the Mongolian People's Army, most of which has become a bare-handed force, 70% was handed over to the Anti-Alliance.  If it were not for the then Deputy People's Commissar of Defense Shaposhnikov to protect this talented but grumpy Chief of General Staff.

    And he rejected his request to transfer the equipment of the two mechanized brigades and three artillery regiments of the Soviet General Staff in the Ulan-Ude area of ??the Siberian Military District, which were originally used to deal with so-called unexpected incidents on the Soviet-Manchu border, to Chinese comrades.  Yang Zhen will get much more unexpected surprises this time.

    From the Soviet Union¡¯s perspective, their eastern border with the Japanese army has basically become a base for the Anti-Japanese Alliance, and they have basically been able to sit back and relax.  For the Mongolian People's Republic, which still has a long border with the puppet Manchukuo State under the control of the Japanese army and has a relatively weak military strength, it has become a weakness for them.

    With the Anti-League as a foreshadowing, and the strong combat effectiveness demonstrated by the Anti-League in previous battles with the Japanese army.  The Soviets were already very reassured about the security of their border with Manchukuo.  But Mongolia has become a weak point that is difficult to improve for the Soviets' entire eastern defense.

    ¡°If once the Western War breaks out, the Japanese army uses Mongolia to attack the Soviet Union from the flank in order to support their so-called allies and cut off this Soviet artery, the threat to the Soviet army will be too great.  At that time, once the Japanese army relies on its naval superiority to land in the Far East and form a coordinated operation with the Japanese army entering Mongolia, the entire Far East region is likely to be unsafe.

    In the view of the Soviet General Staff, in order to completely eliminate the Japanese ambitions for Mongolia and nip in the bud all threats to the Trans-Siberian Railway, the lifeline of the Soviet Union's east-west transportation, it is better to appropriately meet the needs of the Anti-Alliance  necessary.  After all, millions of Soviet troops were pinned down in the Far East, which would undoubtedly be a huge waste to the future war situation.

    When necessary, the Soviets are still very good at settling accounts.  In their eyes, such a small price was negligible compared with the danger posed by dozens of divisions and a large number of mechanized troops being pinned down in the Far East and unable to reinforce the Western Front when needed.

    Although the Soviets also had great distrust of the Anti-Japanese Alliance on the Mongolian issue.  But compared with the greater threat posed by the Japanese, the Soviets would rather believe in Yang Zhen.  Because they know that, at least in front of them, Yang Zhen's resistance alliance does not have the strength to attack Mongolia even if it has the ambition to regain Mongolia.

    ??And the current Chief of General Staff of the Soviet General Staff,I am very confident in the combat effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese Alliance.  In his opinion, as long as the Anti-Japanese Alliance still maintains a certain offensive capability against the Japanese army, the Japanese army's current harassment actions in Mongolia can only be harassment.  It cannot be converted into a large-scale offense.

    Therefore, since he was transferred to the Chief of General Staff of the Soviet Army, the Anti-Alliance has been adopting a policy of secret support.  He single-handedly brokered many of the agreements for the Anti-Japanese Alliance to introduce weapons and equipment from the Soviet Union.  The reason why this agreement was reached so quickly was that, unlike before, it was actually operated by the Soviet General Staff
