    Naturally, the Soviets would not attack the Japanese army at this time, because the Soviets were not floating and had no brains, so how could they conduct a two-front battle.

    Everyone should know that fighting on two fronts has been a taboo among military strategists since ancient times. Unless it is absolutely necessary, ordinary military generals will not let their troops fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts.

    The Soviets are very sober. Although they have entered a strategic counterattack, they really do not have the ability to start a war on both the east and west fronts at the same time.

    ¡°And Germany and Japan are also the most real examples. The lessons from the past are there. How can the Soviets not learn from them?

    Think about Germany a few years ago. From the Nazi Germany's attack on Poland until the Soviet-German war broke out, the German army could be said to be an established power that swept across Europe with the force of the autumn wind. Whether it was Poland or France, they were all defeated by the German army.  Under the chariot.

    But in the west, Britain, the old empire, still refused to admit defeat to Germany.  Although the German army also organized a fierce offensive air force to attack the British Isles, the experienced Churchill still firmly chose to fight with the German army.

    Of course, Churchill¡¯s perseverance ushered in a turning point. At that time, he saw that the Commonwealth countries were huddled together, and the German navy would not be able to cross the English Channel for a while. The top German military officials had no choice but to give up their "Sea Lion Plan" to attack Britain.

    After a few months of rest, the German army launched Operation Barbarossa, and three million German troops attacked the Soviet Union like a tide.  At this point, the German army fell into the taboo of fighting on two fronts.

    As soon as Churchill heard that the German army had begun to attack the Soviet Union, he immediately sent a telegram to Stalin, telling him that Britain was willing to support the Soviet army unconditionally.

    It was precisely because of Churchill¡¯s guarantee that Stalin, the iron-blooded leader of the Soviet Red Army, came to his senses after the initial disastrous defeat of the Soviet Red Army and planned to mobilize the whole country to defeat the German invasion.

    It was precisely because the German army shouldered the pressure of fighting on two fronts that they were tied up on the Soviet-German battlefield. In the end, they could not withstand the impact of the Soviet steel torrent and lost World War II.

    And Germany¡¯s ally Japan also seemed to have been bowed down, and also committed the taboo of fighting on two fronts.

    When the Japanese navy brazenly attacked the US military's Pearl Harbor base in the Pacific, the Japanese army was deeply entrenched in the Chinese battlefield and the Southeast Asian battlefield and was unable to extricate itself.

    ¡°Perhaps the Japanese Navy didn¡¯t want to see the Army take all the credit, so it couldn¡¯t wait to provoke the United States and planned to show off its skills in World War II.

    But God¡¯s calculation is not as good as that of man. Although Japan took away most of the main force of the US military in the Pacific from the beginning of the battle, the US Pacific Fleet did not recover from the fall.

    On the contrary, the U.S. military turned grief into strength, thoroughly defeated the Japanese Navy in the Battle of Midway, and reversed the unfavorable situation on the Pacific battlefield.

    After that, the U.S. military continued its efforts and beat the Japanese troops on Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima and the Philippines, leaving the Japanese with almost no power to fight back.

    Judging from the current situation, Italy surrendered, Germany was driven out of the Soviet Union, and Japan also suffered repeated defeats in the Pacific. All of this was caused by the two-front war.

    If the German army did not rush to open a second front in World War II, it is estimated that the fate of the German army on the European battlefield is difficult to say.  If the Japanese had not provoked the Americans, the situation in World War II would have been different.

    The Soviets saw this result in their eyes. How could they foolishly follow in the footsteps of Germany and Japan?

    The reason why the Soviets did this was just to stimulate the Japanese a little.

    When Ivanov¡¯s delegation reported the results of Li Guoyao¡¯s troops on the Western Front to Moscow, the top Soviet officials were quite satisfied with the performance of Li Guoyao¡¯s troops.

    Under this circumstance, the Soviet Far East Military Region not only decided to once again provide weapons and equipment for five divisions to Li Guoyao's headquarters, but also decided to conduct military exercises in the border areas to attract the elite Japanese troops to the Sino-Soviet border, providing Li Guoyao with  Create conditions for the ministry¡¯s next actions.

    And from the Soviet point of view, even the Japanese believed that the Soviet Union would not immediately tear up the neutrality treaty, but in such a sensitive situation, they did not dare to be careless, and the border troops would still be on guard.

    "Once the Kwantung Army cannot mobilize troops from the border to go south, you and the others will not have enough troops to deal with Li Guoyao's troops on the front line of Rehe.

    This is indeed the case. After the 29th Division and other troops withdrew from the front line, many troops of the Northeast Advance Army took the initiative and quickly occupied Wengniute Banner, Alukorqin Banner, Kailu, Tongliao and other places.

    At the same time, Zhang Shaolin's troops, who had been resting and recuperating on the Aershan front line, also took the initiative to reoccupy the area.At the Wangye Temple and Baicheng, the troops were directed towards Songyuan.

    Songyuan is connected to Harbin and Qiqihar to the north and Xinjing to the south. Its geographical location is crucial. The Kwantung Army Headquarters and the Puppet Manchukuo Military Department were anxious and had to mobilize troops from the northeastern hinterland to strengthen the defense of this line.

    Originally, the Kwantung Army Headquarters planned to mobilize 5 divisions plus 4 border garrison (brigade level) troops from the border areas, and then concentrate some of the puppet troops to raise 150,000 troops to launch a counterattack against the Chinese troops on the front lines of Chifeng and Tongliao.  , reversing the decline of this line.

    However, now that the Soviets were intervening, Yamada Otsuzo immediately did not dare to bet on the situation in Manchuria and could only temporarily give up the idea of ??counterattack.

    "Anyway, the places lost right now are only more than a dozen counties and districts, and there are no important strategic locations, and they are still within their affordability.

    As long as the Soviet military exercises are over, the Imperial Japanese Army can mobilize troops from the front line to counterattack the Western Front.

    Li Guoyao saw the dilemma of the Kwantung Army, but he did not underestimate the enemy. A skinny camel was bigger than a horse. Even at the end of the war, the Kwantung Army numbered millions.

    Although the Kwantung Army in the later stages of the war no longer had any elite troops, and most of its millions were second-rate troops or newly formed cannon fodder, they were still millions.

    What¡¯s more, most of the Kwantung Army¡¯s elite troops are still there, as well as its tank troops and a large number of artillery. If they really set up a face-to-face battle, and all the troops of the Northeastern Advance Army are in battle, they will not be the Kwantung Army¡¯s opponent.

    Although these major victories seemed easy, they all relied on the Japanese army's ignorance of the situation and the secret support of the Soviets. Otherwise, it would never have been so easy.

    Therefore, after the war, Li Guoyao quietly returned to Wangye Temple under the protection of the special forces and held a high-level military meeting in Wangye Temple.

    This meeting mainly did two things. The first thing was to comprehensively reorganize the Northeast Advance Army.

    Unlike the battles inside the pass, the battles outside the pass are less used for guerrilla warfare and more used for positional warfare, offensive and defensive warfare, and large corps annihilation warfare. This requires large formations and large corps, rather than the previous formations such as columns and brigades.

    Therefore, after some discussions, Li Guoyao unified the existing troops of the advancing army.

    The overall name of the advancing army remains unchanged, and he is still the commander, with deputy commanders Chen Jianzhong and Zhang Tengjiao.

    The headquarters consists of the Staff Department, Logistics Department, Intelligence Department, Communications Department and Field Hospital.

    The chief of staff is still Ma Desheng, and the deputy chief of staff is Xu Wenlong.

    The logistics minister is Gu Mingtang, the intelligence minister is Hou Dazhuang, and the field hospital director is Huang Shuya.

    The advancing army will reorganize all existing troops into six integrated divisions. Each division has three brigades and three regiments. The division headquarters is directly under the jurisdiction of one regiment each of artillery, cavalry, guard, air defense, engineering, and baggage.  The division's full strength is 45,000 men.

    In addition, the headquarters has direct jurisdiction over an infantry brigade, a cavalry brigade, an armored brigade, an artillery regiment, an air defense regiment, and a baggage regiment each.

    The commander of the first reorganized division, Zhang Shaolin, deputy commander Zhang Hao, and chief of staff Lin Li, were stationed at Wangyemiao, Baicheng, and Zhenlai lines, and were on alert in the direction of Songyuan, Qiqihar, and Da'an.

    The commander of the reorganized Second Division, Zhou Qiang, deputy commander Xu Wenlong, and chief of staff Zhang Hai, were stationed in Linxi, Bahrain Left Banner, Right Banner, Wengniute Banner, and Keshiketeng Banner, and were on guard and patrol in Chifeng and Chengde.  penetration.

    The reorganized Third Division Commander Zhou Dafu, Deputy Division Commander Lei Erhu, and Chief of Staff Xu Dayou were stationed at the front lines of Tongliao, Kailu, and Keyou Middle Banner, and were on guard against Zhengjiatun (Shuangliao), Jinzhou, and Fengtian lines.

    The reorganized Fourth Division Commander Wu Tiancheng, Deputy Division Commander Zhang Xishun, and Chief of Staff Liu Zhiming are currently resting in the Tongyu area and have received orders to advance into the hinterland of the Northeast.

    The commander of the fifth reorganized division, Gao Hu, deputy commander Wu Yunqiqige, and chief of staff Zhu Hong, are currently resting on the Tuquan front line. Like the reorganized fourth division, they will go deep into the hinterland of Northeast China in the next time.

    The reorganized Sixth Division commander Lu Zhanwu, deputy division commander Wang Lijuan, and chief of staff Wang Kuishan were stationed in Dunhua, Yushu, and Wuchang lines, and penetrated into the direction of Tonghua, Mudanjiang, and Tumen River.

    After reorganization, the originally overcrowded units of the Northeastern Advance Army suddenly became short of soldiers. Originally, one team was crammed with 3,000 people, but everyone felt that the establishment was too small and there were too many people.

    "But now the establishment is too large, but the number of people seems to be small. Except for the reorganized Sixth Division, other units are in a state of dissatisfaction.

    To this end, Li Guoyao issued orders to all units to replenish their troops. Regardless of whether they recruited strong men, puppet troops, or bandits, they must fill up the vacancies before May.

    Following Li Guoyao's order, the troops of the Northeast Advance Army took action quickly. For a time, the entire Northeast region was filled with smoke and artillery fire.
