Just as the Kwantung Army was always ready to fight against the Soviet Union, its so-called biggest enemy never completely cut off their desire to go south and find a warm outlet to the sea. The Kwantung Army is always ready to go north, and people may not have the intention of preparing to go south.

How to give that equally ambitious opponent the impression that the Kwantung Army was still indestructible has become the most urgent problem for Umezu Mijiro and the new chief of staff Yoshimoto Sadachi. After all, compared with the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the polar bear, which has more national strength and military strength, is much more threatening to the rule of the Kwantung Army in Manchuria.

At the same time that a large number of uniforms, uniforms, and weapons were urgently transferred to the 23rd Division, which was overwhelmed, the Kwantung Army Headquarters urgently transferred 12 squadrons from the rest of the divisions, local independent garrisons, and even the border garrisons, and replenished them to the 23rd Division as quickly as possible. Artillery and cavalry were transferred from other divisions to supplement the 23rd Division.

In order to restore the combat effectiveness of the 23rd Division in the shortest possible time, the Kwantung Army has almost reached the point where it will not hesitate to pay any price. In just five days, the already dilapidated 23rd Division was put in order, at least on the surface, it was still a complete division.

Even in order to create a false impression for the Soviet army, the Kwantung Army privately ordered the 23rd Division to take the initiative to provoke the Soviet-Mongolian army to show that its combat effectiveness had been fully restored. But in fact, even if this 23rd Division is a crazy supplement to the Kwantung Army, it is still far from being able to truly recover its combat effectiveness.

This is also why the troops of the 23rd Division have repeatedly provoked and even entered the deep zone of Outer Mongolia. However, as long as the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces made a slight counterattack, they immediately withdrew, and they would definitely not entangle with the Soviet-Mongolian troops. Of course, before the Soviet-Mongolian army counterattacked, in order to show the military might of the Japanese Empire, these Japanese troops could still mix in Mongolia for a while, as much as possible.

It's just that what the Kwantung Army Command didn't expect was that they had indeed frightened the Soviet troops stationed in Mongolia with these hands, and even the General Staff of the Soviet Army in Moscow was deceived by them. But it made Yang Zhen pick up a big bargain and get a large amount of ammunition and equipment for nothing.

The logistics department was naturally overjoyed to receive such a large amount of supplies. With this batch of materials, the arsenal, which has been somewhat exhausted by heavy production tasks during this time, can finally breathe a sigh of relief in some aspects. At least the production rate of the fully charged Soviet-style M-1908 rifle cartridges, 12.7-mm anti-aircraft machine gun cartridges, and 120-mm mortar shells used in general-purpose machine guns could be slightly reduced.

After the arrival of these equipment and materials compensated by the Soviet army, it also indicated that the participation of the three parties and four countries was a bit chaotic, and the Lingxi Campaign, which lasted less than half a month, ended in a hurry. After the battle, Yang Zhen did not continue south to Hung Yen Province, but ordered the 1st and 4th Divisions to go south to move to the defense at the southern foot of the Hung Yen Mountains, south of Arshan.

Regarding the love of the troops to avenge the death of their compatriots in Hailar, Yang Zhen did not forcibly suppress it. On the contrary, the documentaries filmed in Hailar were broadcast in a loop to various troops, including local units and various cities, to make the morale and fighting spirit of the troops scream, and send war letters and even blood letters to the headquarters one after another.

Not only were the troops excited by him, but even the common people burst out with unprecedented cohesion and a sense of war after watching these documentaries. Many students marched on the streets without any mobilization, in addition to expressing their patriotic intentions, calling on everyone to join the army and raising money for the Anti-Japanese Federation.

All of a sudden, the craze for joining the army in the entire base area skyrocketed. Go to the front line, and the slogans of the front line are full of streets and alleys, and even in the fields of the countryside. Donations also flew to the Northeast Bureau and the General Headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Federation. In the various military stations, the young people who asked to join the army could not push it away.

It's just that what is incomprehensible next is that after the military and civilians in the base area are aroused. Yang Zhen himself threw the task of composite training of the troops, as well as all the tasks of the troops' allocation of troops and ammunition hoarding, to Guo Bingxun, Chen Hanzhang, Zhang Zhenhua and several others.

Even the issue of troop deployment in the new area west of the Daxing'an Mountains was entrusted to Yang Jingyu, who was in charge of the local armed forces of the Military Region, and Wang Guangyu, commander of the Nenjiang Military Region. Except for an occasional trip to Qiqihar to discuss with Wang Guangyu about the distribution of troops in the west, he hardly asked about it again. Even if he brought Chen Long, the intelligence minister of the military region, to Qiqihar, there were not too many opportunities to meet Wang Guangyu.

And he himself is either running back and forth between Qiqihar and Jiamusi, or secretly discussing something with Chen Long, the intelligence minister of the military region, in the secret room, or talking with Kovalev in Harbin. As for what the two of them were discussing and what they were talking about with Kovalev, no one knows. Yang Zhen never told anyone about it, and he didn't let anyone else ask.

Seeing that Guo Bingxun was the shopkeeper because of Yang Zhen, he was busy in the dark. Li Yanping, who felt a little sorry for Guo Bingxun, wanted to ask several times, but finally endured it. He knew that Yang Zhen must be secretly planning something, so he would let go so boldly in this most critical period for the development of the entire Anti-Japanese Federation.

In addition, Li Yanping himself is not the kind of person who has too much curiosity. So as for what the hell Yang Zhen was doing during this time, he couldn't bear it and didn't ask. Because he knows that no matter what Yang Zhen is doing, he is proceeding from the vital interests of the Anti-Japanese Federation and even the Chinese nation. Li Yanping believes even more that with Yang Zhen's character, he will never mess around.

However, Li Yanping obviously thinks too idealistic of his partner. If you knew the content of Yang Zhen's planning, it would be strange if you didn't turn your face with him on the spot. Because Yang Zhen was busy with things during this time, there was actually only one thing, that is, to figure out how to let his ally have more blood in the upcoming Soviet-German war.

and how to take advantage of the fact that the Soviets were mired in the quagmire of war to get more benefits for the Anti-Japanese Union. Although Yang Zhen's plan is not only the Soviets, but also other major participating countries. But his plan was mainly based on the Soviets.

In particular, the T-34 tank, the Yak-1 fighter, the P-2 bomber, the 1937 152-mm howitzer, and the M30122-mm howitzer, which he had long been eyeing were the equipment that the Soviet army had always refused to sell. Of course, there is also the ZLS-3 76-mm cannon that the Soviet army has completed development, but has not yet put into production.

Yang Zhen can be said to have coveted these equipment that showed his skills in the upcoming Soviet-German war, so that even the German army, which has always looked down on the Soviet military industry, is already coveted, and he has long wanted to get it. As for those thin-skinned tanks such as T26 and BT, they are not what he really wants.

In order to get these powerful weapons and equipment that are very suitable for the current situation of the Anti-Japanese Federation, we can recover the entire Northeast as much as possible. Since the Soviets have always refused to transfer on the surface, Yang Zhen can only accompany them to play yin even if he doesn't want to.

Although he has prepared weapons and equipment that can be exchanged, he can take advantage of the huge equipment losses of the Soviet army in the early stage of the battle and exchange them for the equipment he wants. It is even possible to exchange grain for these equipment with the USSR, which lost the grain-producing areas of Ukraine, which in the first two years of the war was mixed up with a shortage of everything.

But Yang Zhen's heart was as uncomfortable as a bone. The feeling of spending a lot of money and being picked on by others really made Yang Zhen uncomfortable. Without this opportunity to yin them, Yang Zhen couldn't balance it at all in his heart. Moreover, Yang Zhen did not want to be like what he knew in history, when the Soviets were still secretly attacking China under the condition that they were too busy to take care of themselves.

Yang Zhen, who has traveled from later generations, knows better than anyone else in the world what the outcome of what is considered the bloodiest bloody battle of the twentieth century will be. In this war, he knew even more about the general deployment of troops on both sides and the development trend of weapons and equipment, including the course of the battles of the previous wars, than the general staffs of the two sides.

How about making the Soviets pay more in this bloody battle that lasted for four whole years? Let it have no time to look east in World War II, and relieve some of the pressure on themselves and even Xinjiang. It is even possible to take advantage of the fact that the Soviets were drawn to the western theater to take advantage of the situation to recover Outer Mongolia. But it can't change the outcome of the entire World War II, but it took Yang Zhen a lot of thought.

Although the more than 100,000 troops of the Soviet troops stationed in the Far Eastern Military District and the Siberian Military District were all prepared for the Kwantung Army. And it has successively begun to transfer westward to some second-line military districts in the western part of the Soviet Union, such as the Moscow Military District and the Ural Military District. But the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops, as well as a large amount of mechanized equipment, are a lot of pressure on any army.

And it was not only the Japanese Kwantung Army that felt the huge pressure, but also the Anti-Japanese Federation. This kind of alternative pressure brought Yang Zhen even greater than the Japanese Kwantung Army. Because unless he was willing to become a pawn in the hands of the Soviets, the Soviet leader might really turn against himself once he thought that he was going to get rid of the Soviets that day.

For Yang Zhen, these troops are said to be prepared for the Kwantung Army. But if necessary, or when they think they need it, or when they think they have harmed the interests of their so-called great Soviets, they can turn against themselves in the same way.

For the Soviets, it doesn't matter if you're an ally or an enemy when you think they need it. When necessary, the same is done. Only when the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops stationed behind him drop to a number that Yang Zhen can accept, Yang Zhen will feel at ease when he sleeps at night.

After all, no one wants to fight bloodily with a sword hanging above his head and hundreds of thousands of well-equipped troops gathered behind him. In particular, this army belongs to a so-called ally who has had the experience of sticking a knife in the back many times when others are in trouble.

The Soviets in the west made Yang Zhen always be on guard against them. This is also the reason why Yang Zhen kept these fortresses used by the Kwantung Army to fight against the Soviet Union after successively capturing a large number of fortresses built by the Kwantung Army on the national border. Because Yang Zhen didn't want to be a second Pole.
