    Fang Zida has made great efforts in the development of aircraft as early as the early days of the military industry. It can be said that the bombers and fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force are the most advanced in the world, almost reaching the level of the early World War II in history.  But after all, current aircraft are different from those of later generations. Due to technological limitations, radar and other equipment are not available at all. It is very difficult to search for ground targets in the air with only the naked eye.

    In less than a day, the large Red Army force that had been detected before disappeared without a trace. As the commander of the attacking air force, he definitely judged that this was discovered by the previous aerial reconnaissance, and the enemy immediately hid it to avoid China.  Air Force air strikes.

    There are too many places to hide troops in the hundreds of square kilometers south of Rostov.  300,000 people may seem like a lot, but once they find a place to hide in such a large area, it is really difficult to find them with the current Air Force technology.

    When no sign of the enemy's main force was found, the commander could only issue orders to drop bombs.  The bombers of the Chinese Air Force pounced on several targets where the enemy was found and began to drop bombs, while other bombers directly dropped napalm bombs into forests, hillsides and other places where the enemy might be hidden.  After the bombs were dropped, the bombers shook their wings and flew towards the base amid the raging fire rising from the ground.

    After the bomber formation returned, the Air Force immediately transferred the situation to Lu Jianzhang.  When he saw the contents of the telegram, Lu Jianzhang didn't say anything for a long time, but his face was as gloomy as if he could squeeze out water.

    ¡°We set out a table of food to invite guests to dinner, and there were actually two tables of guests¡± After more than ten minutes, Lu Jianzhang gritted his teeth and uttered this sentence, which was similar to someone in later generations.

    The failure of the air force's air strike will make Lu Jianzhang's 200,000-strong army face two powerful enemies. If the previous plan continues, the risk is too great.  This night.  Lu Jianzhang barely closed his eyes. It was not until early in the morning when his eyes were red that he made up his mind.

    Retreat!

    In order to prevent the troops from getting into trouble, Lu Jianzhang decisively ordered a retreat, abandoned the occupied Vladimir, and the entire army shrank and retreated eastward to Vyazniki.  Although many generals in the legion expressed confusion about this order.  Some people even think that even if Frunze's troops come from the north, the Wehrmacht will have enough power to keep them in the area north of Vladimir.  Some people even suggested that the entire army should ignore the Red Army in the north and concentrate its forces to capture Moscow first. As long as Moscow is captured, Frunze's three fronts will definitely collapse without a fight.

    These suggestions were all rejected by Lu Jianzhang, who issued a strong order to retreat in the name of the supreme command.  Helpless, the Chinese regiment could only stop the attack and the entire army retreated quickly.

    Two days later, the 200,000-strong army withdrew to Vyazniki and began to build a defensive line.  Waiting for reinforcements to arrive.  When the news reached the capital, the Ministry of National Defense was in an uproar. Some generals believed that Lu Jianzhang was afraid of the enemy and gave up a great opportunity to capture Moscow. Some even proposed to the central government that Lu Jianzhang be revoked from his post and escorted back to the country, and the army commander should be replaced.  suggestions.

    "Ziyu, Lu Langzhai has stirred up a hornet's nest now. There are very loud calls for his dismissal and investigation!"

    Fang Zida pointed to the dozen or so documents piled on the table with a wry smile.  These include letters from not only the generals of the Ministry of National Defense, but also various ministries of the State Council.  Even Congress has issued a letter.  Lu Jianzhang's sudden withdrawal of troops was simply a matter of killing first and then reporting later. First, he did not get the consent of the General Staff, and second, he reported it afterwards. In the past two days, this matter caused Fang Zida to have a headache.

    "Lu Langzhai must not be replaced!" Wu Peifu was asked by Fang Zida to ask for his opinion on the matter. Listening to Fang Zida's tone, which seemed to have the idea of ??replacing Lu Jianzhang, he hurriedly advised: "Since the war began, Lu Langzhai has made many contributions, leading the army to fight.  When he arrived at the enemy's capital, he would never have done this unless it was an accident. Besides, changing generals before battle is a taboo in the army. Doesn't Zhang Ming know the story of Changping?"

    Fang Zida thought for a while.  Finally, he nodded slightly: "Ziyu's words make sense, but now that Lu Langzhai has taken the initiative to withdraw his troops, the Battle of Moscow has changed. Frunze's army has greatly increased its strength by joining forces with the Moscow defenders. It will be difficult to capture Moscow as before.  There are many. You know the weather in Soviet Russia. Summer is short, and severe cold will come soon after autumn. If the war drags on longer and longer, this battle will"

    "That's not necessarily true." Wu Peifu said with a half-smile: "It's actually not a bad thing for Lu Langzhai to take the initiative to retreat. Fighting is not about magic. One plus one equals two. I know the situation in Soviet Russia very well, Frunze  Although he is good at fighting, once he leads troops into Moscow to join forces, his hands and feet are locked."

    "Ziyu meansStalin?" Fang Zida was thoughtful.

    Nodding, Wu Peifu smiled and said: "Since the war started, Stalin's willful character has been fully exposed. Although he insisted on holding Moscow and refused toOn the other hand, it is good for morale encouragement, but it also leads to serious flaws in his strategy.  You must know that the Soviet Union still has a large territory west of Moscow, which is fully capable of dealing with our army. From the perspective of an excellent military strategist, it is not wise to defend the capital as a whole for the war.  Once the capital fell, none of the top Soviet officials could escape, and the entire Soviet Russia would be completely finished.  "

    Speaking of this, Wu Peifu took a sip of tea and continued: "Judging from the previous situation, although our army has the ability to capture Moscow in a short period of time, it cannot be done in a day or two. Even if Moscow is captured, there is no guarantee that Stalin will not be defeated.  Run. But the situation is different now"

    Fang Zida raised his eyebrows and immediately laughed: "Yes, the situation is different. With our army withdrawing like this, Stalin must be more confident, not to mention that he has a strong army like Frunze in his hand, and he has more chips.  This is where my gambling instinct comes into play.¡±

    Wu Peifu laughed loudly: "That's right! That's right!"

    The two laughed for a while, and Wu Peifu suppressed his smile and said: "Besides, it is too risky for Lu Langzhai's troops to attack Moscow alone. It is better to retreat and wait for reinforcements to arrive, so that our army can use more troops."  The more you can multiply, the greater your chances of winning!¡±

    Lu Jianzhang's troops withdrew to Vyazniki to defend on the spot, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.  At the same time, Moscow was filled with joy. Due to Frunze's return of reinforcements and the Chinese's active retreat, the Soviets were overjoyed for this great victory.  On the same day that Lu Jianzhang's troops withdrew to Vyazniki, the main forces of the three Frunze fronts successfully joined forces with the Moscow garrison. Stalin, who received the report that day, swept away his previous decadence and made an unprecedented radio broadcast to the Moscow military and civilians.  Speech.

    The deep and firm voice of Comrade Stalin came from the loudspeakers installed in various districts and streets of Moscow. He said that armed with Bolshevism, the Soviet Red Army and militia fought to the death with the Chinese devils who were armed to the teeth and finally repelled them.  enemy.  With the arrival of the three Frunze fronts, the enemy's doom is about to come. The defense of Moscow has achieved an initial victory. We call on everyone to make persistent efforts, unite closely around Comrade Stalin, work together as one, pursue the victory and completely eliminate the enemy.  Drive out the invaders and complete the great cause of reunification of the motherland.

    For the initial victory in the defense of Moscow, Stalin also commended and awarded medals to commanders and fighters at all levels who performed outstandingly during the war.  Among them, Dzerzhinsky was awarded the rank of marshal, the Order of the Red Banner, and Frunze was awarded the rank of marshal, the Order of the Red Banner, and was given the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. The other commanders and fighters at all levels received awards and promotions. For a time, the morale of the troops was high and there was great joy.  It was as if the Great Patriotic War had finally won.

    After completing the awarding of medals, Stalin convened a meeting of the Supreme Military Revolutionary Committee to make arrangements for the next war.  In Stalin's view, with the strength of the three main fronts in Frunze, the opportunity to counterattack the enemy has arrived.  He decided to launch a fierce counterattack against Vyazniki before the Chinese reinforcements arrived, to wipe out the enemy, or at least drive the enemy across the Volga River.  As long as the 200,000 Chinese Japs in front of them were eliminated, the entire war initiative would be in the hands of the Soviets. Stalin even dreamed of wiping out all reactionaries and reaching the great goal of reaching the Far East in one fell swoop.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
