The road from Novosibirsk to the east was cut off by aerial bombardment. Although in the Far East, "the air force of the First Cone Army could not take care of it", but from Irkutsk to the west, "the air support of the First Cone Army did not stop.

In the whistling down (read the free text novel to the "Ten Thousand Books Society") rushed to Il 10. In front of him, "there was not a single column of Surong Limu that could come to the west from Baikal to the west.

In the city of Novosibirsk, only the 93rd Division of the newly formed Transbaikal Front "was subordinate to the 36th Army, which was defending in the rear."

Because the Far East and Outer Mongolia were facing the dual threat of the Japanese and the Chinese, the Transbaikal Front was "reorganized" for half a year, and "it was transformed from a military region into a front." Among them, the main force of Group 7 was squeezing on the Mongolian-Soviet border at this time, "intending to make the last effort."

But hold on to this one. The qi dissipated in the surrender of hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops in Saiyin Mountain, "so that their offensive immediately softened."

Especially from Darkhan to Sukhbaatar" and even further north to Kyakhta, "Soviet Russian reinforcements had to endure the wolf's kiss of the Tiger and Leopard tanks of the pioneer army every day" and eagle strikes from the air. So much so that when they arrived at the front line, most of the "ammunition" and food were gone. The rest of the point did not threaten the Huaxia people at all.

"The next direction of our offensive should be on the Trans-Siberian Railway!" The general commander of the Transbaikal Front, Lieutenant General Kovalev, also had no mind to waste time on the Soviet-Mongolian front," he said several times in his report to Moscow.

Without the Trans-Siberian Railway, "it is impossible to secure the Far East" or even Siberia. This is the experience that the Russians summed up in the Russo-Japanese War of that year. At this time, although the Far East had not yet been affected by the war, "the Soviet troops on the Soviet-Mongolian border were able to receive support from Chita. But the industrial power of the Far East could not support the long-term large-scale war that followed

At the beginning of the attack on the Urals and other places, "Moscow only hoped that the local army would be able to clear away these 'disturbances'. And they do not want large-scale cross-military operations "for fear of falling into a kind of political disorder." However, with the rapid expansion of the Pioneer Army in the hinterland, "the politically sensitive officials of Moscow are finally worried.

After receiving the news of the surrender of the Soviet troops in Outer Mongolia, they "immediately made adjustments." At this time, the surrender of the Soviet army in Outer Mongolia made them throw away this political baggage, "stabbed down, only need to concentrate the army to the west to counterattack", and regain control of the Great Railway.

"We should apply for some reinforcements. After all, our 7 Army and Mi Army have not yet changed, and the completion of "the strength is really insufficient." "When the general ordered Lieutenant General Kovalev to put the burden on his head, Moscow's order to put the burden on his head was very spared" and he thought about it for a long time, "before he came to the military political commissar Major General Jiming to discuss"

"You know" our 7th Army and the Red Banner 2nd Army of the Far Eastern Front jointly defended on the Soviet-Mongolian border", "I heard that the Chinese were gathering more and more forces near Darkhan", "we simply could not draw troops. "After grinding for so long on the front line of Darkhan and the vanguard army," Kovalev already knew that the Chinese would never dare to underestimate him, "although he had not yet 'touched' how many troops the Chinese had in the north," but at that time, Soviet Russia was near the border line at this time, and the army had no bottom.

"The morale of the officers and men of the alliance is very worthy of recognition", but the equipment of the Chinese people is very advanced, and "there are many tricks" and they have to be guarded against! Military political commissar Ji Ming nodded in agreement.

"You also know" the 7th Army, which still had part of its armies defending Krulun and Tamchagbulak in eastern Outer Mongolia, "was caught between the Chinese and the Japanese on a long slippery border between Outer Mongolia and the puppet Manchuria."

Even the 3rd and next fortified areas of the Mi Group Army were defended on those border lines, and "they could not be withdrawn." "Kovalev's time on the road to Jimin's heart was relieved," continued: "Moreover, the artillery units of the Bi Army were also transferred to the Soviet-Mongolian border," and the remaining units were scattered all over Baikal, and after a large number of weapons depots were blown up by the Chinese, they lacked heavy weapons, "but the Chinese in front of them had tanks" and heavy artillery! ”

At this time, "the Pioneer Army had already begun to attack the cities along the Great Railway. Field Encounters: "The vanguard army of tanks and armored warriors swept through everything. Even when it was the turn to attack the city, "the heavy artillery dragged out of the war factories was so powerless that the Soviet Russian army could only resist it by relying on the ruins of the city's buildings.

These Jimin, who must read the front-line battle reports and exchanges with Moscow every day, also know it. At this time, Novosibirsk had long been bombarded by the Limou artillery, and the defending division could only defend passively, and even if Major General Fomenko, a fellow commander of the Lianmi Army, rushed to take charge in person, "but the heavy firepower of the first cone army, even including the air strikes," was powerless.

Zhaoshi's defense of Novosibirsk was already very difficult, "and he couldn't even take care of the surrounding area."

According to the latest war reports, "Stalinsk in the southwest of Novosibirsk", that is, Kuznetsk, where a large steel plant was built at the beginning of the captivity, has already been conquered by the First Cone Army. And Tomsk, which is known as the center of Siberian science and education in the northwest, was also successfully attacked by the first cone army as early as the day of the Great Front (read free text novels to the "Wanshushe").

In order to prepare for an airborne attack by the First Cone, "the Russians have increased their vigilance. However, in the face of the overwhelming large-scale lightning airborne landing of the Xiancone Army, "the Soviet Russians, who had lost air supremacy, did not have a very good defense method", and could only be heavily guarded in key areas. The 65th Wang Division of the Var Army defended Chita, as well as the remnants of the "94th Division, which suffered heavy losses in Outer Mongolia", and the 4th Division, which was retained as a mobile reserve, defended a large area of Irkutsk all the way to the east bank of the Yenisei River.

The heavily defended area has drained their forces: "Where else can they support?"

So" for the final victory "we need reinforcements! Kovalev again agitated Zimindo. This kind of request for help is really a very difficult thing to do "without the nods of the military and political commissars." After all, superiors need to perform tasks unconditionally, and "even if there are difficulties", they need to create more difficulties and rush forward to show their fearless spirit.

As a major general, Jimin also knew the difficulties of the Transbaikal Front, "and at the same time, he knew that this battle was a test for everyone." Just like after the defeat of the Far Eastern Military District in Outer Mongolia this time, "not only did Apanashchenko face trial because of the rush to escape", but even the military commissar Zhertov was brought back to Moscow to face endless trial. Even the bottom of the area caught hundreds of people.

No one can run without victory.

It's just that "we don't get any reinforcements!" Ji Ming frowned and said, "Considering the surprise attack of the Chinese and the airborne" and the greedy reaction of the Japanese on the embankment, "The Far Eastern Front also needs to focus on defending the Far East. And they suffered heavy losses in Mongolia, "not much of a force can be drawn." And the Siberian Military District could not even hold its own cities, "and there were not many troops to mobilize."

As for other places, "as soon as the big railway is cut off", nothing will fall. ”

"National Crisis Moment" Every citizen needs to contribute! We need more empowerment to organize more regular armies! Kovalev said that "when it comes to the formation of an army," it is easy to give authority, "especially after the Great Purge," and that this sensitive matter involving the ownership of the army needs to be more careful.

In the process of forming the Transbaikal Front, "a lot of sensitive things have already occurred," and "there has been a lot of nonsense for a long time," otherwise there would not have been a Far Eastern Front to go to Outer Mongolia. Although this is a kind of luck, "but at this critical juncture", "we have to win", and defeating the Chinese talent is the most important thing. At this time, there were already some popular organizations", but these birds were not vulnerable at all. Someone needs to regularize them, arm them, "stuff them with at least a rifle", and send them to the right positions on the front line to be cannon fodder.

"I'll give it a try!" Zimin knew that Kovalev must also be testing Moscow's reaction, "but this time it also needs to be promoted by their military commissar system." "It depends on the weather in Moscow."

Who knows that the news of the inquiry will not be long in coming, "The problem of some reinforcements has been solved above."

"Draw the Far Eastern Front?" Zimin and Kovalev looked at each other.

"The Far Eastern Front still has less than 500,000 troops," of which nearly 100,000 are still defending against the Chinese on the Soviet-Mongolian border, and "more than 300,000 horses are left to defend the long border line in the Far East." Ji Ming's brows furrowed.

"The Japanese won't come!" Kovalev frowned similarly, "but with a little disdain at the corners of his mouth."

This veteran general, who annexed Poland and "participated in the Soviet-Finnish War", is quite well-informed (read the free text novel to the "Wanshushe"), "I also knew a thing or two about the secret agreement between Soviet Russia and the Japanese", this is not counted, "it is the recent contact between Soviet Russia and the Japanese", he has also heard of it.

As soon as the Soviet-German war broke out, "Moscow immediately began to readjust its relations with the Japanese. At that time, the attacks of China and Germany on the eastern and western fronts "at this time Soviet Russia could no longer stand the attacks of third countries.

The timely gift from Soviet Russia quickly suppressed the Japanese who were about to move north.

Kovalev could only guess the weight of the gift, "but he didn't know the true weight." Because at this time, "what was needed was the common hatred of the enemy" and the "need to maintain Stalin's image as a wise leader", so in the new secret treaty, "few people knew that Sakhalin" was "the Sakhalin Island in China" was already owned by the Japanese.

The supply of oil and coal fields in the north of Sakhalin, as well as more Siberian oil and even other strategic metal resources, became a link that maintained a new peaceful relationship between the Japanese and Soviet Russia," and even on this basis, "it had the flavor of an alliance" and aimed directly at the Chinese First Army.
