    Chapter 164

    The preparation period for a major battle is usually not too short. This campaign involves major actions from the Far East to Central Asia. Under normal circumstances, it would take less than two months to prepare.  The reason why the countdown has started in just ten days is because Central Asia and the Far East are preparing for war, not just a day or two.  Warehouses were built five or six years ago for strategic reserves, and various units have been guarding the border for a long time. Since the Republic of China, we have spared no effort to build railways, and now they are also playing a role.

    After receiving the telegram from Wang Chonghui, Fang Jianxiong squeezed it and threw it into the trash can. He said calmly: "I will not attack others unless they attack me. Just answer the Japanese like this. Treat them as if they didn't mention anything about the treaty."  "

    "Are you kidding me? I'm signing a non-aggression pact with Japan right now. I'm so confused.  Fang Jianxiong was just waiting for Japan to spread its influence in Nanyang and had no way to stop it before he fell out and broke the treaty. Fang Jianxiong did not deserve it.

    Wang Chonghui received the telegram, and when he saw Song Gang Yoyou again, his tone of voice was much more tactful.  That means that China is now entangled in the west and north, and has no time to be distracted and does not want to cause trouble.  The implication is that we have signed a contract with Japan, so how do we explain it to Britain and the United States?  Anyway, we just need to maintain a tacit understanding that this treaty cannot be signed.

    Song Gang Youyou had no choice but to go back and explain to the country. At this time, the Japanese war machine had already started, and there was no possibility of stopping it.  The prosperous Nanyang is beckoning to Japan, and anyone who stops it will be the mortal enemy of the Japanese navy and army.

    On September 15, the time was 4:59 in the morning, and Bardikorgan was quiet in the darkness before dawn.  Within the headquarters in Almaty.  The horseshoe alarm clock began to count down, and Liu Mingzhao seemed to be standing calmly in the yard, looking to the north.

    ? Inside the frontline headquarters in Bardikorgan City.  Li Zongren has been staring at the phone, his eyes never leaving.  There was dead silence in the headquarters, and suddenly a sharp phone rang. Chief of Staff Tang Shengzhi rushed forward, grabbed the phone, and heard a powerful voice coming from inside: "Start!"

    The darkness turned into day in an instant, the silent early morning boiled in an instant, and the Soviet position outside the city turned into a sea of ??fire.  3,000 cannons roared together.  The earth shook.  Ten minutes later, the sky had just turned white, and the hell on earth caused by intensive artillery fire continued.  Above the clouds in the sky, dense war eagles flew over the city.

    From Bardykorgan to the north and east, Lepse and Molotov.  Zhansugurov.  More than a dozen important Soviet towns, including Salkand, were hit by air strikes. The airport, railways, and military camps were all within the scope of the fierce strikes.  The Air Force dispatched 800 Mustang-B fighters, 500 Eagle III fighters, 500 B-17 bombers, and 200 DC-3 transport aircraft.

    For a time, Chinese planes were wreaking havoc in the sky over East Kazakhstan.  The Soviet fighter planes took off tenaciously to challenge, but lost the opportunity.  In front of the huge number of Mustang-B fighters, the Soviet army's backward wooden I-16 fighters.  Almost like a living target.  About three hundred I-16s and five hundred I-15s were shot down in one day, and five to six hundred Soviet fighter planes turned into fireballs on the tarmac.

    There is no doubt that the bravery of the Soviet Air Force accelerated the rate of losses of the Soviet Air Force.  The tenacious Soviet fighter planes faced the absolute disadvantage and responded without fear, but the result was often easily torn into pieces by the Mustang fighter's six 12- and 7-caliber machine guns.

    The ground attack began after an hour of artillery preparations. Sun Liren, holding a submachine gun, was the first to jump out of the trench, raised the submachine gun in his hand, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, charge with me!"  Chen Changjie was acting as a reserve force, and Sun Liren, who had not won any big battles, had already turned red and didn't care whether he was commanding or not.

    As soon as he took two steps, Sun Liren was thrown to the ground. Chief of Staff Qiu Qingquan laughed and said: "I've been preventing you from doing this for a long time. Get back to the command car quickly. Leave this job to others."  "As he spoke, he grabbed the submachine gun and looked at the officers and soldiers rushing forward like a tide with a smile, with envy flashing in his eyes.

    The tactics of the Wehrmacht were much the same as those of the Soviet army. The infantry also launched a charge, and after opening the gap, the armored troops drove straight in.  For the Chinese ** team that was still on the defensive before, the Soviet army did not expect the counterattack to come so quickly, and they were not fully prepared for a while.  After being unable to conquer the fortified city for a long time, their morale was already low. However, they suddenly encountered an extremely violent counterattack. In just three hours, several large holes were opened in the Soviet defense line.

    The three mechanized armies, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately rushed in along the opening, and then moved forward, forward, and forward regardless of the situation.  Under the cover of more than two hundred Mustangs and two hundred Stuka copycat Eagle IV dive fighters of the Air Force, they ran wildly toward the northeast along the road at the foot of the Altai Mountains.

    On the first day of the war, the Ninth Mechanized Army ran 60 kilometers and occupied the Soviet strategic town in the northeast.Kapar left hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops behind.  On the northern front, the Eighth Mechanized Army easily penetrated the Soviet defense line and advanced to Yesujin. On the middle road, the Eleventh Mechanized Army appeared in Zhansugurov.  The Soviet defense line was penetrated by three mechanized armies in just one day. The mechanized troops after crossing the Soviet defense line did not stop at all, leaving some mechanized infantry behind. The main force turned around and rushed back, just like  A few iron combs were stirring up and down the rear of the Soviet defense line, giving no chance for the Soviet troops to assemble.

    ?Bokakirovka, the Soviet command headquarters, everything changed in just one day.  The counterattack of the Chinese *** team came extremely fast, and the Soviet troops on the front line were rushed to pieces in one morning. On the nearly 100 kilometers of front lines, there were at least fifty groups of Soviet troops currently in contact, often one or two.  The remaining soldiers of the infantry division gathered together and huddled in a small position to hold on.  These troops are continuing to fight, but they don't know where to go, because there are squadrons attacking everywhere, and they can only defend themselves continuously.  All of these troops attempted to take the initiative shortly after the battle began, but were met with ruthless blows.  The Chinese tanks were like knives slicing cheese, rushing back and forth on the Soviet defense line.

    Hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops have been fighting non-stop, without a moment of peace.  It was night now, but the sound of gunfire never stopped.  After a day of fighting, Lu Jin finally figured out a clue, that is, the purpose of the Chinese Army's campaign was to encircle and annihilate the Soviet army in East Kazakhstan.

    The thirty-five Soviet infantry divisions commanded by Lu Jin, two mechanized, totaling nearly 600,000 people, wanted to encircle and annihilate such a large military cluster. Lu Jin had never thought about it before.  Will be surrounded and annihilated.  But now he felt something was wrong. The tanks of the Chinese Army had broken through 60 to 70 kilometers and appeared behind 300,000 Soviet troops.  Although Lukin still has ten infantry divisions and two mechanized corps reserves in his hands, he has never ordered a counterattack.  I just want to figure out the situation and what the Chinese team is doing.

    "Want to encircle and annihilate me?" Lu Jin said to himself in front of the map, with a trace of disdain on his lips. He still had enough reserves in his hand. As long as he made a fierce counterattack and wiped out one of the Chinese troops, he could basically do it.  Stabilize the war situation.  There was no counterattack during the day, and another very important factor was the fear of the Chinese Air Force.  After a day of fighting, there were no more Soviet planes in the sky over East Kazakhstan.

    Just as Lukin was preparing to launch a counterattack at night, at more than a dozen airports west of Baldikul, in front of 200 DC-3s, soldiers carrying parachutes were boarding the planes in an orderly manner.  Two entire airborne divisions, on the first night after the war began, began the largest airborne operation in the history of the Chinese Army.

    "Have you not discovered the Soviet mechanized troops yet?" Liu Mingzhao was really worried. After fighting for a whole day, the Soviet mechanized troops were motionless. This level of concealment was really high.  High-altitude aerial reconnaissance has been fruitless. Before the fight started, if we flew low, we would be hit by Soviet fighter planes. We could only take pictures at an altitude of 10,000 meters, so it was difficult to find anything.  The Soviet mechanized troops became even more immobile during the fighting, which was really a headache.

    "Don't worry, even if the Soviet mechanized troops launch a counterattack at night, it will be difficult for them to have much effect. If their tanks confront our infantry rocket launchers at night, it would really be like seeking death." Zhang Zhizhong comforted, and Liu Mingzhao nodded.  The leader said: "That's the truth, but I always feel a thorn in my heart when I don't find the Soviet mechanized troops. The airborne troops are about to set off. Tomorrow, when the airborne troops encounter Soviet tanks during the day, it will be a big trouble."

    "That's true. The airborne division does not have heavy weapons, so it will be difficult to deal with mechanized troops. I don't know how Lu Jin uses the mechanized troops. I haven't found the target. I really feel empty and panicked."

    A blue flag on the sand table was pulled down by the staff, and another Soviet stronghold was eliminated.  Liu Mingzhao looked at the progress map of the entire battlefield. The tenacity of the Soviet army far exceeded his expectations. The entire counterattack battlefield was full of Soviet strongholds reported from the front line.  Lu Jin put about 300,000 troops into the attack. Now looking at the sand table, there are a total of 55 blue flags, indicating that after the 300,000 Soviet troops are divided, at least 55 of them will be organized or improvised.  A group of troops are resisting.

    "The Air Force is here to ask when it will take off." Zhang Zhizhong asked. Liu Mingzhao looked at his watch and saw that it was already 11 o'clock at night.

    "According to the original plan, we will take off in an hour. Notify all mechanized units to immediately gather the troops to prevent a Soviet counterattack." Liu Mingzhao added, and as soon as he finished speaking, the director of the intelligence department rushed in: "Commander, the Soviet mechanized units were discovered.  .¡±

    Liu Mingzhao, who had just sat down, jumped up from his seat and rushed towards the map.  (To be continued)
