    In addition to the Kwantung Army's operational plan to attack the Soviet Union, this information also included the results of the Japanese army's investigation of the Soviet military strength in the Far East of the Soviet Union.

    According to the results of the Japanese army's investigation, the current general distribution of the Soviet troops in the Far East is as follows: The First Red Flag Army stationed in the Shuangchengzi area has 11 infantry divisions, two cavalry divisions, 5 artillery regiments, and 5 tanks.  The brigade has approximately 930 combat vehicles and approximately 350 armored vehicles.

    The 15th Army, stationed in Birobizan west of Khabarovsk, has three infantry divisions, two artillery regiments, and one tank brigade. It has about 225 tanks and about 80 armored vehicles.

    Stationed near Kuibyshev on the Hailanpao Northeast Railway Main Line is the Second Red Banner Army, which has three infantry divisions, two artillery regiments, and one tank brigade, with about 270 tanks and about 80 armored vehicles.

    The Nikolevsk troops stationed at Temple Street in Heilongjiangkou consist of two infantry divisions, about 60 combat vehicles, and about 40 armored vehicles.

    Stationed in the Baikal Military District behind Chita, it has direct jurisdiction over 3 infantry divisions, 3 artillery regiments, and two tank brigades, with approximately 705 tanks and 270 armored vehicles.

    The 16th Army, located near Chita, has five infantry divisions, two cavalry divisions, two tank brigades, and two artillery regiments.

    The 17th Army, stationed in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, has 3 infantry divisions, 1 cavalry division, 1 artillery regiment, 1 tank brigade, and 4 armored vehicle brigades, with a total of about 525 tanks and armored vehicles.  420 vehicles.

    In addition, there are about 15,000 people in the Navy¡¯s Pacific Fleet and about 63,000 people in the border guard force managed by the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs.

    Through comprehensive analysis, the Japanese army determined that the number of Soviet troops in the Far East was approximately 617,000.

    In addition, in addition to this top-secret information, there is also the establishment and staffing situation of the Kwantung Army's mecha army, as well as the formation of new units of the Kwantung Army, etc., which are the most confidential military information within the Kwantung Army.

    After reading all the documents, Li Guoyao fell into deep thought.

    Although he knew very well that the Japanese did not attack the Soviet Union throughout World War II, various signs showed that the Japanese never gave up their plans and intentions to attack the Soviet Union.

    To be honest, these plans are extremely important to the Japanese or the Soviets, but they are worthless to him and the entire Northeastern Advance Army. In this case, Li Guoyao decided to use this information to fight for the Advance Army.  Some benefits.

    On the afternoon of January 12, Li Guoyao notified Wang Lijuan and asked her to contact the Soviet Union, saying that they had information about the Eastern Army¡¯s latest operation against the Soviet Union.

    Soon there was a reply from Wang Lijuan, saying that she had contacted the Soviet Union through Li Bingtian¡¯s department, and the other party decided to send a working group to Yushu and asked Li Guoyao to entertain them.

    Li Guoyao would naturally not refuse this.

    Late at night on the 13th, a working group composed of 5 Chinese and 7 Soviets arrived in Yushu and were taken directly to the advancing army¡¯s headquarters in Xiaobeitun, located on the upper reaches of the Kacha River.

    There was no welcome banquet, and there were no special etiquette. After a pot of pork stewed with vermicelli and cornmeal pancakes, Li Guoyao handed over the documents captured by the Japanese army to the Soviet staff.

    ¡°There were people who knew Japanese among these staff members, and they quickly translated all the documents into Russian and handed them over to the radio operators to use the radios they carried to transmit them back to the Soviet Far East Military District.

    When this top-secret document was sent to the office of General Valentin, commander of the Far East Military Region, the entire Far East Military Region¡¯s top brass was alerted.

    They didn¡¯t believe this plan was true at first, but after seeing the results of the Japanese army¡¯s investigation into the strength and firepower of the Soviet troops in the Far East Military Region, everyone fell silent.

    Although many of the troops inside have changed due to redeployment, the number of soldiers and equipment have not changed much. It is obvious that the Japanese have indeed carried out all-round penetration of the Far East Military Region.

    ¡°In addition, ordinary people cannot formulate such a complete combat plan. In other words, even if Li Guoyao¡¯s subordinates want to forge it, it will not be easy. After all, this requires a very good understanding of the configuration of the troops and firepower of both sides.

    After some inference, the Soviets finally determined that the intelligence was true and was of great significance to the Far East Military Region.

    In addition, they also reported to the staff of the working group that Li Guoyao's department also had a lot of top-secret information.

    Subsequently, after some discussions, the Soviets decided to accept the assistance plan proposed by Li Guoyao and selected the Second Company in Chabei as the location for the handover of weapons and equipment between the two sides.

    But as a condition, Li Guoyao needed to share the intelligence information they obtained with the Soviets.

    In this regard, Li Guoyao will naturally not refuse, and will thenThe situation of the Japanese Army's mecha corps and the formation of new units were also handed over to the Soviets.

    After reading these top-secret documents, the Soviets were also shocked.

    Originally, they really looked down upon the Japanese armored forces. Although intelligence showed that although Japan began to produce tanks in February 1927, for a long time thereafter, like other countries, it assigned tank regiments to  Each division.

    Since the "September 18th Incident", the Japanese army has participated in all large-scale offensive operations with tank troops. However, it was not until 1934 that the Kwantung Army established the independent mixed 1st Mechanized Brigade.

    As for the intensive use of tanks, there are very few cases. They were only used in the Nanchang operation in the spring of 1939 and the "Nomenhan" operation in the autumn.

    There were successes and failures in these operations, especially in the "Nomenhan" operation. The Japanese armored forces suffered heavy losses and were completely defeated by the Soviet Red Army's armored forces.

    However, according to the intelligence currently captured by Li Guoyao's command, the Kwantung Army has formed a regiment-level armored force, which is known as the Mecha Army to the outside world.

    According to intelligence, the Japanese mecha army has two divisions and one teaching brigade, with Toku Yoshida as commander.

    These are nothing. What really worries the Soviets is that the establishment of the Japanese tank division is beyond their expectations. According to the documents sent by Li Guoyao's department, the establishment of the Japanese tank division is quite large.  The total number of people is approximately 13,820.

    It has two tank brigades and four tank regiments. In addition, it also includes a mechanized infantry regiment, rapid-fire artillery regiment, division search team, mechanized artillery regiment, air defense team, engineering team, maintenance (maintenance) team,  Baggage train and so on.

    Moreover, the equipment of the Japanese tank troops is also different from what the Soviets imagined. They have also tested Japanese-produced tanks before. To be honest, in the eyes of the Soviets, Japanese tanks are a joke.  Physical strength, firepower, power, obstacle overcoming, etc. are all rubbish and cannot be compared with the Soviet tanks.

    Especially that kind of light tank, which only has 7.4 tons, 120 horsepower, a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, and a 3.7-cm caliber gun. Even the Soviet Union's almost eliminated BT7 light tank is not afraid of the attack of this tank.

    But now the Japanese have upgraded these weapons and equipment. For example, they have eliminated the original 3.7-cm-caliber iron-wheeled anti-tank guns and made new rubber-wheeled "One-type" anti-tank guns with a caliber of 4.7 cm.

    In addition, the original "Type 97" fighter jet, which does not retract its landing gear and is only equipped with a 7.9 mm caliber machine gun, will be transformed into a high-speed "Type 1" fighter jet that can retract its landing gear and is equipped with a two-centimeter caliber machine gun, etc.

    In terms of tanks, a new medium tank weighing 30 tons, 400 horsepower, a speed of 45 kilometers per hour, and equipped with a 7.5 cm caliber gun was produced.  The performance of this tank is comparable to the "Sherman" tank equipped by the US military at the time, and it has the characteristics of a large ammunition load and can carry 70 rounds of 7.5 cm caliber artillery shells.

    "These situations were something the Soviets had never known before. If Li Guoyao's command had not provided them with this information, they might have suddenly discovered that the Japanese had developed so much equipment after the war broke out.

    Out of gratitude to Li Guoyao¡¯s command, the Soviets decided to add an additional division of equipment to support Li Guoyao¡¯s command, and stated that they would transport all the equipment to the Sino-Mongolian border within half a month.

    In addition, the first batch of Soviet army working groups will also arrive with the equipment. I hope Li Guoyao's command will make good use of this batch of equipment and treat the Soviet army staff well.
