    Seeing everyone looking at him, Bai Chongxi said calmly: "If my guess is correct, this unit is probably withdrawn from Serov, which means it is part of the Frunze, Belarusian and Ukrainian Fronts."

    "Can you confirm?" Lu Jianzhang asked immediately, squinting slightly.

    Slowly shaking his head, Bai Chongxi said: "It is not certain yet, but judging from the information obtained so far, it is impossible for Stalin to assemble so many troops in the northeastern region. Even if reinforcements are mobilized, they can only be mobilized from the western region. Air Force reconnaissance shows that,  The location where the enemy appeared was Rostov. The Battle of Serov had just ended not long ago. Judging from the battle reports from friendly forces, Frunze led the main force to retreat north before Serov was captured and their whereabouts are still unknown. Combining the above points, I can only  Come to the conclusion just now.¡±

    Everyone nodded slowly. Bai Chongxi was right. Now that Moscow is under fierce attack by the Chinese Communist Regiment, Stalin does not have many troops at all. Moreover, with the successive victories of the Chinese and Russian coalition forces, the entire front has been pushed to the front of Moscow. Even if  The Soviet Red Army's rescue can only come from the west, and it is absolutely impossible to suddenly appear from the northeast.  In addition, the whereabouts of the main forces of the three front armies in Frunze's hands are unknown, so it is very likely that this force is the three front armies commanded by Frunze.

    "What do the Mongolian legions do? They chase the enemy and beat us without telling us in advance. Otherwise, if the air force accidentally discovers the enemy's whereabouts, we will suffer a big loss!"

    The generals present whispered to each other and started discussing that although our side won the Battle of Serov, from a strategic perspective, this victory did not achieve the expected results.  Frunze's three fronts lost troops and generals, but the main force was still there. In the end, the Chinese and Russian coalition forces only occupied a city that was voluntarily abandoned by the enemy.  Now, Frunze led the army to sneak up under his nose. Fortunately, he discovered it early.  Otherwise, catching the Northwest Army by surprise will not only lead to the failure of the Moscow Battle, but may also put the entire Army into trouble.

    "Jiansheng, you said that these troops that emerged are the three front armies of Frunze. As far as I know, the three front armies of Frunze have a total of 750,000 troops. Although the losses in Serov were not small, the main force is still there.  , how many troops do you think the other side should have now?" Lu Jianzhang frowned and thought for a while, then asked.

    "The air force's telegram said that about 300,000 troops were assembled and moving in Rostov. I think this number should be credible." Bai Chongxi thought for a moment and replied: "The troops in Frunze's hands in the Serov battle lost approximately  About 150,000 people arrived in Rostov, and coupled with the long journey to rescue Moscow, it was impossible for the entire force to remain intact. Based on the estimate of the opponent's main force of 600,000, nearly half of them arrived in Rostov, that is, 300,000 people. From this point of view, this number is different from the air force.  The reconnaissance is basically close. Of course, we must take into account the enemy's follow-up strength. Based on my understanding of Frunze, he is an excellent Red Army general who is flexible in his use of troops and is very difficult to deal with. "

    The venue suddenly became quiet again. Although the only people present were Bai Chongxi and a few others who had fought with Frunze, everyone still knew the situation of the Serov Battle.  If Frunze hadn't defeated the main force of the Far East government forces in an unexpected way, Serov might have been captured long ago.  As for later, the strategic deployment of the Northwest Army to bypass Serov and go straight to Moscow could be implemented.  The main reason is also Frunze.

    Frunze¡¯s troops suddenly appeared in the Rostov area, which gave Lu Jianzhang a problem.  The Northwest Army plus Bai Chongxi's Armored Division, Liu Zhi's 101st Division and Xiong Shihui's 102nd Division transferred from the Mongolian Army, and some additional troops were gradually added.  The total strength is now over 300,000. Although it was difficult to fight against the million-strong army organized by Stalin, they still had the upper hand. Judging from the current situation, taking Moscow is not a big problem, not to mention the Mongolian Army and the Far East Government Army.  After resting and recuperating, they have quickly rushed to Moscow, and there will be 120,000 domestic reinforcements on the way, once these troops arrive.  Even with all his strength, Stalin could not hold Moscow.

    But now, Frunze¡¯s 300,000 troops suddenly appeared, which suddenly made the battle situation complicated.  You must know that Frunze's troops are different from the cannon fodder troops temporarily formed by Moscow. They are the real elites of the Red Army.  To put it bluntly, Frunze's 300,000 troops are even more difficult to deal with than the one million Red Army that Lu Jianzhang is facing now.  An accidental failure in the Battle of Moscow is a trivial matter. If not, the entire Northwest Army may be involved.

    Should we attack Moscow first or deal with Frunze¡¯s three fronts first?  This is an extremely difficult decision to make.  Once the attack on Moscow is stopped, the whole army will attack Frunze first, which will definitely give Stalin a chance to breathe.  With the Bolsheviks' madness, they are likely to organize millions more cannon fodder troops in a short period of time. In this way, even if Frunze is defeated, the Chinese Communist Regiment will lose the best opportunity to capture Moscow.

    If you ignore Frunze and continue to use your main strength inAttacking Moscow is almost a risk.  As a general who has been fighting for half his life, Lu Jianzhang would never take such a risk.  There is another more important problem, that is, if the Frunze troops and the Moscow garrison successfully join forces, it will not only greatly increase the morale of the Red Army, but also make the next battle more and more difficult to fight. Everyone knows that Frunze and the garrison in Moscow successfully join forces.  What kind of character is Long Zhi? Training troops with cannon fodder is his specialty. It can be said that the longer this battle is delayed, the greater the problem will be for China.

    ¡°Boss, let the Air Force kill them and use napalm to burn these idiots to death!¡±

    "My enemy! Boss, this force poses too great a threat to our army and we must strike first. I suggest that we immediately request the air force to bomb the enemy!"

    "That's right! Let the air force brothers dispatch immediately and burn these cowards to death!"

    ¡°If you strike first, you will gain the upper hand, and your subordinates will suffer disaster, boss!¡±

    ??The issues Lu Jianzhang is considering are also wanted by everyone. Faced with the current situation, the problem must be solved as soon as possible.  At the same time, everyone remembered the power of the napalm bombs used by the Air Force before. Since the enemies were gathering to move south, they should take this opportunity to give them a taste of their power.

    Lu Jianzhang is not a kind person. He has been accustomed to killing people as early as the Beiyang period, and now he is even more merciless when leading troops.  Although the central government has clearly told frontline troops to be cautious in using napalm bombs, the current situation is already very dangerous. No matter what the consequences, napalm bombs must be used to bombard the enemy as soon as possible.  What's more, the central government only told him not to use napalm in Moscow, but it didn't restrict him from using it elsewhere.  Lu Jianzhang immediately decided to contact the Air Force Command immediately and ask the Air Force to dispatch bombers to bomb the enemies appearing in the north.

    Although the Army and the Air Force are not under each other, Lu Jianzhang's face as the frontline commander must still be given. What's more, the Air Force is of course very clear about what the emergence of this unit means.  After receiving Lu Jianzhang's bombing request, the Air Force quickly made arrangements. Six hours after the enemy was discovered, the bomber formation at the air force base quickly set off to the location where the enemy was found.

    That afternoon, Lu Jianzhang finally waited for the reply that the Air Force had launched an attack.  A hanging heart finally fell.  However, he was not careless at this time. In order to prevent unexpected events, he began to mobilize his troops to search north. In addition to Jia Zong's troops, Lu Jianzhang also took out the two ace troops of the 101st and 102nd Division and moved them to the north.

    The Air Force bombers arrived at the target after an hour's flight, but what surprised the Air Force was that they did not find the large group of enemy traces they had previously detected.  After circling dozens of kilometers around for nearly half an hour, they discovered several groups of thousands of troops in action. This made the aggressive bomber formation dumbfounded.

    Under the command of the commander, the various brigades and squadrons continued to disperse in search of the enemy, but until the sun was about to go down, they still could not find where the main enemy force was.  At this time, the plane's fuel had almost been consumed, and the commander had no choice but to issue an order to bomb on the spot.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
