The entire Soviet Far East Red Army is located in the Far East, thousands of miles apart from Moscow in Europe, and only connected by the Trans-Siberian Railway. In order to prevent the Far East Red Army from being too unified and independent, the possibility of collective rebellion would eventually occur. Due to the deliberate actions of Moscow's top leaders, the entire Soviet Far East Army, with hundreds of thousands of troops, can be said to be full of factions, intertwined with each other, and very complicated.
It took several years of hard work for the former Commander-in-Chief of the Far Eastern Army, General Benodov, to gain the real command of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Far Eastern Army, not to mention that this man had just taken over the post of Commander-in-Chief within a few hours. General Gorodovikov.
What's more, after the news spread that two main divisions were wiped out in China's blocking positions, the commanders of the entire Far East Red Army at division level and above lost their former arrogance. At the same time, the powerful combat effectiveness displayed by the Chinese ** team on the battlefield also deeply shocked them, making them feel a trace of deep scruples in their hearts.
Therefore, at the military operations meeting held by the Commander-in-Chief General Gorodovikov, he faced the Commander-in-Chief¡¯s suggestion to continue to mobilize troops to launch an attack on the Chinese ** team¡¯s blocking position. The faces of the dozens of division commanders and brigade commanders present all showed expressions of silence and indifference. Obviously, no one is willing to raise eyebrows in this situation and let the audience's troops lose in vain on the battlefield
Looking at the commander-in-chief, General Gorodovikov, who was sitting in the main seat and faced the performance of the division and brigade commanders, his face became increasingly gloomy. In order to save the face of the commander-in-chief and for the harmony of the entire Far East Army. The chief of staff had to stand up from his seat and said: "Comrade Commander-in-Chief, according to the previous two battles, our great Red Army's two consecutive defeats were caused by a serious lack of air power."
"Now, our air force stationed at the temporary airport in the rear is fully equipped with less than two aviation divisions of combat aircraft. More importantly, the various fuels and ammunition required by the temporary airport have not been fully transported. According to Intelligence shows that in the battle a few hours ago, the Chinese Air Force only had more than four regiments of fighter jets on the battlefield (the frontline made exaggerated reports to shirk responsibility). In addition, China did not appear on the battlefield. The Air Force¡¯s number of fighter jets alone is several times that of ours¡¡±
"Once a battle breaks out, our limited air force, hunted by more than four fighter regiments of the Chinese Air Force, will not be able to provide any support to the ground forces. The bomber force of the Chinese Air Force can, under the cover of fighter jets, , wantonly throwing bombs at our military positions"
"At that time, my heroic Red Army troops will have to fight under the triple attack of the Chinese air force, artillery, and tank troops. Therefore, the commander-in-chief, please think twice, wait until we have sufficient air force, and then use absolute superiority to attack China blocked the position and launched an attack" the chief of staff persuaded with a serious look on his face.
Facing the step that the chief of staff sent to his feet. Facing the dozens of generals who remained silent in front of them. Although the commander-in-chief, General Gorodovikov, was angry in his heart, he also knew it. As a new arrival, I couldn't afford to offend a group of senior teachers who held real power below. Otherwise, what will be left to you in the future will be even more ugly.
After letting out a dull snort, General Gorodovikov had to say with an embarrassed look: "Comrade Chief of Staff's suggestion is very good. Since everyone has no opinions, let's act in accordance with Comrade Chief of Staff's opinion. In addition, in order to make the decisive battle come as soon as possible, Comrade Chief of Staff, after the meeting is over, contact the rear air force immediately and make sure to make the transition immediately. If the fighter plane is delayed, I will personally report to General Secretary Stalin in Moscow"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief" Faced with General Gorodovikov's threat, the Chief of Staff did not dare to neglect and quickly replied.
The next three days. The Chinese and Soviet armies entrenched in the Inner Mongolia prairie unexpectedly became silent. The millions of troops on both sides of the enemy and ours are concentrating all their efforts to move a large number of heavy equipment and logistics materials that play a decisive role on the battlefield to the front line in preparation for the final decisive battle.
The Soviet Far East Red Army, along with a large amount of baggage, ammunition, and fuel, were continuously transported to the military camp by cars. More than a thousand combat aircraft of various types rushed to several field airports temporarily built by the engineering troops on the prairie, directly under the constant urging of General Gorodovikov and even General Secretary Stalin in Moscow.
Of course, when the Soviet Far East Army is concentrating all its efforts on transporting various logistical support materials for the upcoming decisive battle. The Chinese army commanded by Liu Hua was not idle either.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, after three days of preparation, eight aviation divisions from the Northeast Military Region, North China Military Region, and even the Southeast Military Region have all been transferred to their positions At the same time, according to the latest radar reconnaissance,According to the statement, the Soviet air force units entering our territory also exceeded a thousand fighters" Because of the heavy losses of the troops, Commander Chen Hong, who was directly transferred to the former enemy headquarters by Liu Hua and served as the temporary chief of staff, reported directly with a serious look on his face. .
"Where are the heavy artillery troops and tank troops?" Liu Hua nodded and asked.
"Due to transportation difficulties, there are a total of 12 heavy artillery brigades, 5 medium tank divisions, and 1 heavy tank division" Chen Hong said the numbers in his mind without thinking.
"Now it seems that in terms of equipment, compared with the Lao Maozi Far Eastern Army opposite us, we still have a very huge gap. More importantly, our heavy artillery troops, armored troops, and even the air force are not really We have experienced actual combat drills. The Lao Maozi on the opposite side has almost all been tempered by World War II and has rich practical experience. And this directly leads to the gap between us and Lao Maozi becoming wider and wider" Liu Hua couldn't help but sigh. A face showed a solemn expression because of this.
However, the gap between national powers is not something Liu Hua can change. At this moment, the only thing Liu Hua could do was to use some secret equipment in his hand to catch Lao Maozi off guard. Before Lao Maozi could figure out a specific countermeasure, the more than fifty Soviet Far East troops in front of him were wiped out.
Thinking of this, Liu Hua's eyes quickly flashed with a sharp edge. He said to Chen Hong in front of him: "Commander Chen, are the various heavy artillery units in our hands dispersed and deployed in accordance with the request I made long ago"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. Battalions are used as units, and the echelons are deployed in a huge area with a depth of more than five kilometers behind the position and a width of more than ten kilometers in front. In addition, according to your proposal, Commander-in-Chief, from Lao Maozi Barracks to our army's blocking position The ten-kilometer-long offensive position is all within the coverage of our army¡¯s artillery fire¡¡±
"Taking battalion as a unit This is also the only way we can reduce the minimum damage to our artillery force by Lao Maozi's air force and artillery Tell all artillery brothers that during the battle, once your position is locked by the enemy and attacked Attack. All artillery personnel must immediately abandon their equipment and retreat There are no more artillery pieces, but there are still more in our warehouses at the rear. However, if there are no more people, no matter how many artillery pieces are brought from the rear, it will still be a pile of scrap metal Liu Hua nodded and ordered with a serious look.
It turns out that a large part of the large number of heavy artillery purchased by Liu Hua at the price of scrap iron during the purchase process in the United States were prepared for the Sino-Soviet border conflict that was bound to break out sooner or later.
So far, more than forty heavy artillery brigades have been reorganized across the country. However, there are still one or two thousand artillery pieces secretly stockpiled by Liu Hua in major military warehouses in the North China Military Region and the Northwest Military Region.
Since the beginning of the war, Liu Hua has issued orders to the two military regions to mobilize all artillery reserves. Through military columns and vehicles, the remaining one or two thousand artillery pieces were continuously sent to the battlefield from afar to supplement the losses of the troops on the battlefield
Therefore, at least in the initial stage of the war, as long as you can protect the limited artillery in your hands, you can ensure that you have enough artillery units to threaten the enemy.
After receiving a positive answer from Commander Chen Hong, Liu Hua continued: "Because most of our tank troops are medium tanks, even if they go to the battlefield, they are no match for Lao Maozi's heavy tanks. Therefore, without getting the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, Before receiving permission from the Ministry of Defense, all tank units must lurk secretly for me."
"All fighter regiments under the Air Force must be on standby 24 hours a day. All fighter planes must have sufficient fuel and ammunition. After receiving a combat order, they must take off within ten minutes"
"The infantry unit The anti-tank weapons that the headquarters has just strengthened for each unit must be assigned to platoon-level units. At the same time, all combat units adopt reincarnation defense. Each army defends for one day to ensure the physical strength of all combat units. adequate¡"
"The nine heavy tank divisions of the 110, 120, 130190 heavy tanks that have already set off are ordered to continue to follow the orders of the former enemy's general headquarters and use the method of day and night to secretly rush to the predetermined combat area and wait in hiding"
¡°Secretly ordered missile squadrons No. 1 to 55 to quickly get into cars and travel by day and night to the former enemy headquarters to report"
"The military commission ordered the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th fighter regiments directly under the Central Military Commission. A total of five fighter regiments, using the cover of night, secretly transferred to the field airport closest to the battlefield and lurked on standby"
"The first, second, and third regiments of the Army Aviation Regimentthe three Army Aviation Regiments, under the cover of night, secretly transferred to the secret airport built in advance by the engineering troops and lurked on standby"
"Commander Chen, if nothing happens to me, in the next few days, the old man on the opposite side will definitely concentrate his forces and launch an attack on our army's position, which will end the failure of the previous two times. Therefore, you must warn Forward commanders, be ready for battle at any time to guard against sudden attacks by Lao Maozi's air force and artillery units" Commander Liu Hua faced the combat map in front of him and ordered directly in a deep voice.
"Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured, I will go and issue the latest orders to all ministries right away" Commander Chen Hong replied expectantly.
