Immediately afterwards, hundreds of explosion spots appeared on the entire section of the railway. These explosion spots were uneven, twenty or thirty meters long and only a few meters short. Although it was not a problem to repair, it was very time-consuming. The most important thing was that so many places needed maintenance, and the train could not pass normally.

In this way, the time for the transfer of troops to the front was infinitely delayed, which made Zhukov, the Soviet general in charge of the transfer of troops, very depressed. The Battle of Moscow was over, and Zhukov finally won the war with his superhuman wisdom.

With the end of the Moscow Defense War, Zhukov was sent to the Far East again without stopping. In the early years, Zhukov had stayed in the Far East Military Region and commanded the troops of the Far East Military Region to fight a battle with the Japanese army in Nomenkan.

Therefore, Zhukov, who had just arrived from Moscow, was sent to the Far East to command the battle with the Northern Army Group. In order to commend Zhukov's outstanding contribution in the war, Zhukov, who should have been awarded the rank of marshal on January 18, 1943.

He was promoted to marshal nearly a year ahead of schedule, and at this time, it was only less than two years before Zhukov was promoted to general. Zhukov completely became Stalin's firefighter, and he could block the leak wherever he needed.

But this time when I came to the Far East, although Zhukov was in this place when he reached the peak of power, this time, the Far East may not bring any good luck to Zhukov.

The Soviet army's early combat rules generally defended in spring and summer, and when the counterattack began in autumn and winter, it came and went over a year. The advantages gained by the Germans through hard work were taken back by the Soviets in the blink of an eye and caused severe damage to the Germans.

But what good ways can Zhukov have in the North Army Group? Counterattack in autumn and winter? Please, there is nothing left. And can we take the initiative to launch an offensive in winter, so can the Soviet offensive play a role in front of them?

Although Zhukov is excellent, after experiencing so many battles, he has become more and more confident and more convenient in the war. However, this does not mean that his heart will expand rapidly. In other words, although Zhukov has become more confident, he has always been very cautious and never arrogant enough to look down on the enemy.

At this time, Zhukov was also sitting on a train smoking depressedly. He frowned tightly, not knowing what to do. The train had been here for two days, although the railway that had been blown up before was about to be completed and will be opened soon.

But then there was news that the railway was blown up. Not long after it was completed, the engineers here had just left, and the Chinese Empire continued to blow up the railway, and the battle on the front line had begun.

So far, he, the commander of the Far East, has not arrived at the front line. Millions of reinforcements were still blocked on the road and unable to move. Zhukov was very depressed. Of course, what he saw was not just the reinforcements that could not arrive on time. What he saw was more.

The Chinese Empire tried every means to stop the reinforcements from going to the Far East, obviously in order to completely eliminate the forces of the Far East Military Region before the reinforcements arrived, and then launch a sudden attack when the reinforcements arrived. How could the Soviet Red Army, which had not yet established a stable foothold, be the opponent of the Northern Army Group?

On the other hand, what can we do if reinforcements arrive at the front line? They can attack the railway. Even the trains transporting troops are not afraid of, so what should we do if we replenish supplies in the future? Railways are crucial for replenishment. Once the railway is blocked, they will face the risk of supply being cut off.

It can be said that as long as the North Army Group sends troops of thousands or even hundreds of people, they can cut off the supply line, causing millions of Red Army soldiers on the front line to starve to death.

Whenever Zhukov thinks of this, his mood is particularly heavy. Even Zhukov, who has been through many battles, doesn't know how to fight this battle at this time? It can be said that this is a dead end. No matter what action he does next, the chance of survival is not high.

Whether it was the Air Force, the Armored Army, the Army, or the Artillery, they did not have any advantage in front of the Northern Army Group. The only weather advantage that the Soviets could rely on was reduced to a minimum, and the Chinese Empire did not take this trick at all.

Moreover, most of the soldiers of the North Army Group have been in the Northeast of the Republic of China for at least a year. Although the winter there is not as good as the Soviet Union, it is still a temperature of tens of degrees below zero. With a little training, it is not difficult to adapt to the Soviet environment.

"Appoint all Red Army soldiers to get off the train and defend on the spot. The troops behind guard the railway to ensure that the railway behind is intact. At the same time, the Red Army soldiers from the Far East Military Region are ordered to retreat to us. We will fight the North Army Group here."

After a long time, Zhukov finally made up his mind.

Walking forward, he had no confidence in victory. Now he had to stop and guard the railway behind him to ensure that the supplies could be delivered to them smoothly, and then fight the enemy here.

However, Zhukov knew that this was not an excellent place for combat, because it was helpless and the railways were mainly built on plains, which was very beneficial to the armored corps movement of the North Army Group and was also conducive to the enemy's air force bombing. They were completely without any dangers.

但是朱可夫却不敢随意的下达全军后撤的命令,即便斯大林已经全权授权朱可夫指挥远东地区的部队,并且保证不会过度干预他的决策,但那只是不会过度干预,而不是完全不干预.

Zhukov has been dealt with by Stalin for this kind of thing, so this time Zhukov made this decision very carefully. Although he did not order a retreat, this does not mean that Zhukov was nailed here. Once a situation that was unfavorable to them occurred, Zhukov still had to order a retreat. He could not have seen so many troops be wiped out with his own eyes.

"Comrade Zhukov, have you ever thought about the consequences of making such a decision?"

One of Zhukov's followers reminded in surprise that fortunately, Zhukov is now the commander and political commissar, and no one can interfere with Zhukov's decision at will, but even so, he decided to remind Zhukov.

"I only know that if the troops continue to move forward, there is a very likely situation where the ammunition and food are exhausted, and the enemy will likely destroy us without any effort."

Zhukov smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although this statement was unreasonable, Zhukov could only say this at this moment. Apart from that, he could not come up with any more important reason.

"I think it's better to report the situation here and our ideas to Comrade Stalin, and let Comrade Stalin make a decision."

The follower continued to say that he finally rose again and naturally could not watch Zhukov fall down again.

He had already formed a camp with Zhukov, and everyone was also advancing and retreating together. Zhukov was their leader. This was already well known in the Soviet Union. A commander would definitely bring some of his own people when he took office. Then others could only give way to them.

He used to give way to others, but now he is just here to grab someone else's position. He also knows that once Stalin blames him, even Zhukov will not be able to take advantage of it.

"Okay, then you go and tell Comrade Stalin about the situation here and ask Comrade Stalin's opinions."

Zhukov is also swaying from side to side now and doesn't know what to do. It's better to ask Stalin's opinion, at least this will give him a clear goal.

Even if he blames him, he will not beat him to the end, because in this case, Stalin would be like slapping himself in the face.

Northeast. Jinxi Group Army Group Command.

Liu Ling frowned and lay on the map and looked carefully. There was only one railway from the Soviet Union to run through the east and west, namely the Siberian Railway. It drove from Moscow and passed through Ryazan, Samara, Chelyabinsk, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Chita, Khabarovsk (Berli). It has a total length of 9,332 kilometers. It is currently the longest railway in the world.

There are about 1,000 freight and passenger trains running on this steel artery. It was built to the west of Chelyabinsk in the mid-19th century; it was 7,416 kilometers east of it. It was built in 1891 and opened to traffic in 1916.

This railway is easy to find on the map. Even if the map on the market does not indicate this railway, you will know the route of this railway after a little inquiry in the Soviet Union.

"Stopped in Novosibirsk? Did you want to fight us there?"

Liu Ling quickly found the location of Novosibirsk on the map, and after careful reading, he roughly understood Zhukov's intentions.

"Report to the commander, the troops of the Far East Military Region began to retreat."

Immediately afterwards, the staff's report made Liu Ling even more sure of his thoughts. It seemed that Zhukov really wanted to fight them in the Novosibirsk region.

Liu Ling couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Zhukov was a good handsome man. He knew that if he moved forward, he would fall into our encirclement and faced the danger of supply being cut off. Now he is smart and just huddled there to defend.

But Zhukov looked down on the North Army Group too much, right? Do you think you were going to attack when you squatted there? Do you think I would definitely go after you set up a formation? Humph, if you think so, I just don't do this, I just don't go there, what do you do?

"How is Chairman Jiang doing on his side?"

Liu Ling asked immediately.

Zhukov thought he could sit firmly on Diaoyutai as long as he was squatting in the Novosibirsk region and wait for the North Army Group to confront them from the front, but he ignored a crucial issue, that is, Chairman Chiang was recovering the independent Outer Mongolia at this time.

Once Outer Mongolia is taken back by Chairman Chiang, the Mongolian region of the Republic of China will be directly adjacent to the Soviet territory, and the northwestern Mongolia is also connected to the Novosibirsk region. As long as Liu Ling gives a little favor, it will not be difficult to bring Chairman Chiang to attack Zhukov together.

But then again, don’t underestimate the power of the troops in Chairman Jiang’s hands, and don’t always think that they are as vulnerable as you imagine. When fighting against Japan, it was mainly due to poor equipment and insufficient ammunition.

After more than two years of development, the soldiers were strong at this time, and at least more than one year of training, and many veterans came out of the War of Resistance. Now they are not later generations. Without the eight years of War of Resistance, Chairman Jiang's elite troops are still there.

"It has approached Ulaanbaatar. It is estimated that the battle will end within one month and the situation in Mongolia can be stabilized within one year."
