He naturally still remembers Xia Yang. It was Xia Yang who saved his life back then. How could he just forget about it?
With some curiosity, General Zhukov unfolded the letter on the table and began to read it carefully.
Looking at the contents of the letter, General Zhukov¡¯s brows gradually furrowed together, and his expression began to become more and more solemn.
Stavsky said: "I know him, and this information should not be based on speculation. He must have discovered the large-scale mobilization of Japanese troops in China, and then he wrote this letter to remind us."
After hearing this, General Zhukov read the letter again.
As the top commander of the Soviet troops stationed in the Far East, General Zhukov naturally has a grasp of the situation in the Far East.
As for the wolfish ambitions of the Japanese, he has long understood it. But he didn't expect that the Japanese army would mobilize so many troops this time and enter the vicinity of the Nomenhan area.
He did not question the authenticity of the letter, because it was not difficult for him to verify it. After all, the Soviets had been operating in the Far East and Outer Mongolia for many years and had their own intelligence system.
General Zhukov said: "Immediately send people to the Nomonhan and Hailar areas to investigate the movements of the Japanese army and see if there is a large-scale military buildup there. If so, let me know immediately."
The staff officer next to him heard this, immediately responded, and hurriedly walked outside.
"Speaking of which, what are the Japanese troops doing in the Nomenhan area by mobilizing so many troops?" Stavsky said, "Attacking Outer Mongolia? If it's just for such a purpose, I don't think it should be, or should they start a fight? Got our idea?"
When he said this, Stavsky couldn't help but laugh, thinking that unless the Japanese were crazy, they would definitely be willing to have a head-on conflict with the Soviet Union.
But what Stavsky didn¡¯t expect was that the Japanese were crazy.
Just like a few years later, the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States and declared war on the United States. Their decision this time was also a big gamble.
If the bet wins, cooperate with the Germans and put the Soviets into a two-front battle. When the Germans conquered the Soviet Union, the vast land in the Far East would belong to Japan.
Such a prize is really too tempting. And this is also the reason why the Japanese base camp is willing to carry out this battle.
However, the Japanese base camp would not have thought that the Germans would not actually invade the Soviet Union until June 1941, two years later.
General Zhukov said: "I don't know, but the Japanese are the most crazy nation. We should not take it lightly. We don't have many troops around Nomenhan now. Once the intelligence is confirmed, I will immediately mobilize the troops and apply to my superiors for updates." A lot of weapons, equipment and supplies.¡±
Stavsky said: "Okay, then I will wait for the news these days."
General Zhukov nodded and said: "Okay, if there is any new news, please tell me."
Stavsky said: "Don't worry, as long as Xia Yang gives me news, I will tell it to you as soon as possible."
After saying that, he walked out of General Zhukov's residence and began to return to his residence.
At this moment, the 23rd Division's garrison in Hailar (today's Qiqihar) is located outside the city. The soldiers inside have packed their tents. The soldiers of the division were even more armed at this time, carrying thick marching rucksacks on their backs.
The division commander of the Japanese 23rd Division, Michutaro Komatsubara, was in the headquarters at this time, giving instructions to a Japanese commander.
"This time, your search team must act extremely quickly. Don't leave any time for the Mongolian army over there to react. By then, if the Soviets don't react much, we will follow up immediately. If the Soviets react very quickly, Big, then you should retreat immediately." Komatsubara Michutaro said.
He is the division commander of the 23rd Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army. He is also the commander of this battle and has the rank of lieutenant general.
The Japanese commander standing opposite him at this time was none other than Dongba Baizang, who can be regarded as the person who fired the first shot of the Anti-Japanese War in history.
After receiving the order from Michutaro Komatsubara, a cold light shone on Higashiba Hyakuzo's resolute face.
"Don't worry, division commander, leave this matter to our search team." With that said, he walked outside the headquarters.
After leaving the headquarters, Dongba Baizang immediately led the?The search team under his command set out near the Halahar River on trucks and motorcycles.
At this moment, the 23rd Division is not the only Japanese division that is ready to go into the Nomenhan area and into Outer Mongolia at any time.
Around Hailar and several cities near Nomenhan, nearly 100,000 Japanese troops mobilized from the pass more than ten days ago were ready to launch an attack.
They have hoarded a large amount of supplies in several cities near Nomenhan.
Not only that, several aviation squadrons of the Kwantung Army are also used by Michutaro Komatsubara.
By the beginning of May, the Japanese army had mobilized the strength of four reorganized divisions in the areas near Hailar and Nomenhan.
Including the 109th Division: Lieutenant General Shigehou Yamaoka, Chief of Staff Colonel Shigeru Shuzo. 108th Division: Lieutenant General Shimomoto Kumaya, Chief of Staff Colonel Toshiyuki Suzuki. 18th Division: Lieutenant General Ushijima Sadao; Chief of Staff Colonel Megumi Koto. and the independent first mixed brigade of the Chahar Dispatch Corps: Major General Hoji Sakai.
Coupled with the Japanese 23rd Division, the scale of the Japanese troops assembled here is already very huge.
Looking at the dark clouds gradually covering his head, Xia Yang knew that the rainy season was coming soon.
It is now May, and after a while, the southeast monsoon will blow to this land from the distant ocean, bringing rain clouds with it.
At this time, the sound of a motorcycle engine came. Xia Yang raised his head and saw Song Yumo and the sniper team, riding a motorcycle towards this side.
After they arrived at the Kagel tribe, they couldn¡¯t wait to learn how to drive a motorcycle. Driving a motorcycle is very simple. They only need to learn the basic operations, and let them slowly explore the rest and become familiar with it.
"Master, we just went out and hunted an eagle, look." Zhao Tiancheng said and raised the goshawk in his hand.
"Poor that goshawk that was supposed to be flying in the sky was shot down by this group of snipers with extremely accurate marksmanship.
It seems that he is afraid that the bullet will be too powerful and will directly smash the eagle into pieces. So Zhao Tiancheng and Song Yumo deliberately used small-caliber sniper rifles when hunting. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
