Chapter 161 The biggest battle since the founding of the People's Republic of China
Except for a few sentries swinging back and forth behind the barbed wire fence, no living person could be seen moving around in the telescope. If these sentries were removed from the telescope, the defensive positions outside the Shuangchengzi Fortress would be a silent scene.
After spitting hard, Xia Xiang put away the telescope and asked Xu Zuyi, the chief of staff beside him: "Brother Yanmou, do you think this little Eastern nose will choose to go south or west?"
"It's hard to say. The Japanese plotting against China is not something that happens overnight. But it must be very uncomfortable for us now. The Northeast Military Region and the Far East Military Region add up to six mechanized corps and fifty infantry divisions. Such a huge force cannot be The reason for rioting is because of the unclear attitude of the Japanese. The commander of the General Staff also participated and asked us to drive the Japanese into the sea within a month once the Sino-Japanese war breaks out. In order to prevent this, Central Asia has been Fighting alone, when Commander-in-Chief of the Far East called to learn about the situation yesterday, his voice was hoarse. He was angry! The General Staff had not given orders yet, so his three-pronged army could stay quietly in Khovd and Ulangumu. , Irkutsk." Xu Zuyi's eyes were also red. He hadn't been able to sleep well these days. He looked at the fierce fighting in Central Asia to the east. The Northeastern Front didn't have a single soldier, let alone a single soldier. Possibility of joining the war. The fifteen wings of the Air Force showed no intention of moving.
"The risk of fighting on two fronts is too great. If you can avoid it, try to avoid it. But you can't believe what that guy Lao Gao says. He has a background in intelligence and was the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Bureau in his early years. The so-called three-way army, I think it is all along the way. It's true. The other two roads are just for diversion. From Irkutsk to Krasnoyarsk, it's more than a thousand kilometers. Even if there is a railway, it would be difficult for so many troops to walk there. Lower Ujinks That bridgehead only has the strength of one regiment at most. If there are too many people, there will be no place to live. You have never been along that way. It is a thousand kilometers away. It will be very difficult for you to find a few living people. If Lao Gao chooses After this route, he is not a qualified handsome man. According to my understanding of him, he is most likely to attack from Wulangumu first, and he is also a supporter on this route. The real killer move must be Ke Budona went directly to Novosibirsk. But the battle in Siberia is definitely not easy to fight. The place is too big. Novosibirsk should not have been abandoned in the first place. It is too far to fight now." Speaking of Gao Sheng, Xia Xiang was quite resentful. He originally thought he could take over as the commander of the Far East Military Region, but he didn't expect that Gao Sheng passed and he continued to stay in the idle military region in the Northeast. Although he is also the commander of the front army, how can he compare with Siberia? Old partner Liu Mianyue, as the deputy commander of the front army and an old man in mechanized warfare, is estimated to be waiting in Kobdo. Once a fight breaks out, he will definitely lead the troops forward.
"Yeah, Siberia is really big. It's more than a thousand kilometers. The requirements for equipment performance and logistics supply capabilities are too high. I always feel that the General Staff has not made up its mind for this reason. We still have to fight with Lao Maozi. It¡¯s different. We won¡¯t put too many troops on the border during peacetime, as that would be too costly.¡±
When Xia Xiang and Xu Zuyi were talking about it, Gao Sheng and Liu Mianyue were in Kobdo. Just as Xia Xiang judged, Gao Sheng and Liu Mianyue's battle plan. It is to use the large logistics transfer base of Kobdo as support and go north along the road built by Lao Maozi back then, all the way to Novosibirsk. This road is actually not easy to walk, but in Siberia, there are not many convenient ways. This plan has also been approved by the General Staff, because once this plan can be realized. The war situation in Siberia suddenly became clear. No matter how the war in Central Asia turns out, the front army can calmly move south, turn around the Central Asian front army, and attack the main force of the Soviet army in Central Asia.
The powerful roar of off-road vehicles. Interrupting the conversation between the two, he looked back and saw that it was the director of the intelligence department, holding a telegram in his hand to report: "Report, urgent telegram from Beijing." Xia Xiang raised his hand to grab the telegram and read it. After reading it, he handed it to Xu Zuyi and said: " Something big is going to happen.¡±
Xu Zuyi nodded after looking at it and said: "It is true that something big is going to happen." The content of the message was very simple, "The third and fifth mechanized military equipment trucks were transported to the west. The Air Force transferred five fighter wings and five bomber wings to the west. Enter."
In Beijing, the atmosphere in the presidential office is unusually relaxed. Dai Chunfeng, who was sitting carefully in the corner, was in a mood of ups and downs at this moment. You are actually qualified to attend such a meeting, look at all the people attending the meeting. The minister of defense, deputy minister, chief of general staff, deputy chief of general staff, and the lowest are all three-star generals. He is really not good enough as a major general.
"Yunong's information came so timely. I didn't expect that even the contents of the Japanese imperial meeting could be obtained." Jiang Fangzhen praised highly. He had no prejudice against the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Minister of National Defense, unlike the one who is now in charge. Li Xiaochuan in Nanjing doesn't like the people and things in the Military Intelligence Agency.
"Such a??, Southeast has nothing to worry about for the time being. As long as the newly formed troops are up in half a year, there will be nothing to worry about. "Xu Shuzheng is also very happy. As Chief of General Staff, he has been under great pressure recently. The war situation in Central Asia is definitely not a one-sided war situation. It must be linked to the entire three fronts of China, the Soviet Union and Japan. This kind of work has a strong ability to judge the overall situation. , it¡¯s really not that easy to do. Because Japan has not yet received clear news, the main forces of the Northeast Military Region and the Far East Military Region dare not move. This is to prevent Japan from cooperating with the Soviet army to attack China. If this is the result. , then we must concentrate the forces of the two major military regions to first drive the Japanese army into the sea to feed the bastards, and then we can safely turn back to fight the Soviet army.
Where did Dai Chunfeng get this information? This is thanks to the Germans, because the implementation of the Sea Lion Project in Europe was not very smooth. Hitler repeatedly asked Japan to go south, sweep Southeast Asia, and cut off the connection between Britain's overseas colonies and the country. Out of consideration for its own interests, Japan was worried that China would poke a bloody hole in its back, so it has not agreed to Germany. As soon as the Sino-Soviet war broke out, Japanese Emperor Hirohito immediately convened an imperial meeting at the request of Prime Minister Tojo. After confirming the major decision of the Japanese army to move south, he informed the German Ambassador in Japan. The attach¨¦ of the Chinese Embassy in Japan was a spy for the Military Intelligence Bureau. Because he had a good relationship with the German attach¨¦, they would always drink together when they had nothing to do, so he accidentally got the news after getting the German attach¨¦ drunk.
At first, Fang Jianxiong did not completely believe it, but asked Dai Chunfeng to go out and wait for a while, and called Shanghai. Then he ordered this urgent meeting to be held and allowed Dai Chunfeng to attend as a reward.
"This battle plan is huge. Our army has never had a major battle since the founding of the army. I decided to go to Dihua personally. Brother Baili, you go to Kulun to hold the battle, and Zheng is in Beijing to coordinate the overall situation. Others Please cheer up for me. If anything goes wrong and affects the battle even a little bit, don't blame me for being cruel." The smile on Fang Jianxiong's face suddenly dropped and became a bit ferocious.
"President, Fang Zhen will fulfill his mission." Jiang Fangzhen was the first to stand up and express his position, and the others followed suit. No one mentioned any nonsense about not having to go to Dihua to take charge. A battle like this involves all aspects. If there is a problem in any link, it may affect the entire battle situation. Therefore, Fang Jianxiong proposed to go to Dihua to take charge, just for the three armed forces and various government departments to see.
"Yunong!" Fang Jianxiong raised it again after everyone was seated. Dai Chunfeng immediately stood up and said: "I'm here for my humble duty!"
"Get your people to move. During the war, any fraud for personal gain, regardless of military or political affairs, once discovered, will be taken down immediately without asking for instructions. As long as there is sufficient evidence afterwards, you can go ahead and do it." This order is directed at the entire logistics organization. , including the logistics system of government departments and the military. It can be said that this delegation of power is large.
"I understand this humble position!" Dai Chunfeng's voice was trembling with excitement. For him, this order meant entering the inner circle of the president. From now on, the President is a loyal dog. Anyone who is unfavorable to the President will be bitten first.
"Extraordinary means are used in extraordinary times. Fang Jianxiong's cruel tactics will never be used in peacetime." In order to ensure victory, these people present will not have any objections. Even Gu Weijun, who was present at the meeting, did not feel dissatisfied after hearing this order. This is a national war, and anyone who delays and is shot will not be forgiven.
"President, I have another suggestion. We should formulate a wartime decree. No matter who is suspected of sabotaging the war, the President has the right to order the arrest and imprisonment before the war." The scholar was indeed more ruthless. Gu Weijun made such a suggestion directly. Everything is for the victory of the war. This is aimed at those opposition parties who always cause trouble for the government and some public intellectuals who think they have the right to speak.
"It's better not to use this. It's a start that won't be easy to recover from in the future." Fang Jianxiong refused this temptation, and at the same time he was confident in the Republic of China that he had built with his own hands. Jianxiong stood up and said to everyone: "The campaign plan has been issued. The General Staff must urge all troops to complete the campaign deployment as soon as possible. A week later, Gao Sheng must start on the Siberian battlefield. At the same time, Liu Mingzhao's counterattack in Central Asia started at the same time . Feng Hua, the Air Force has a very heavy task. The Soviet logistics supply lines and battle assembly areas are all key bombing targets of the Air Force. At the same time, it also has to cover the attack of the mechanized assault group, which is a heavy responsibility."
Feng Hua stood straight and said in an extremely confident tone: "President, please rest assured that before the launch of the campaign, our Air Force can assemble twenty-five fighter wings and five bomber wings in the Central Asian battlefield. In the Siberian battlefield, we can Assemble ten Mustang fighter wings, two long-range bomber wings, and five dive bomber wings. ThisThese fighters are enough. Unfortunately, the number of new Mustang-B fighters in our Air Force is currently too small. It is only equipped with ten wings, all of which are deployed in the Far East in accordance with the orders of the General Staff. President, the air forces in each theater should be replaced with fighter jets and bombers as soon as possible. "
"I can't solve the problem of new fighter jets in the short term. Upgrading production will take time. Bombers can purchase a batch of DC3 and B17 from the United States. You submit the plan and I will sign it." Fang Jianxiong answered simply. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
