    Chapter 178

    Zhukov cleverly turned the topic to equipment, which was equivalent to giving the bearded man a step down.  It was not Comrade Joseph who made a mistake, but the negligence of the equipment research and development department that led to the backwardness of Soviet equipment.  Well, let¡¯s say the term spiritual victory once, so that no one can say it in front of anyone.

    The unlucky Pavlov was brought to Stalin's office. Zhukov did not choose to sit down, but stood upright on his side.  Joseph, who was sitting upright, had the same black face as always, and the strength of the hand holding the pipe changed subtly with the appearance of Pavlov.

    "The main reason for the defeat in this battle was that the East Kazakh Army Group commanded by Lu Jin failed too quickly. The Kazakhstan Army Group's two-pronged attack on Bishkek went smoothly. We broke through Bishkek's city defenses and fought with  The enemy engaged in fierce street fighting" Pavlov, who knew that the prospect was very bad, was thinking about how to shirk responsibility at this time. Because of his nervousness, his face turned pale and his forehead was sweating. He kept using a handkerchief to remove the responsibilities.  Rub his shiny forehead.

    "Comrade Pavlov, let me interrupt." Zhukov became impatient. He looked at the bearded hand before raising his hand and speaking. The pipe seemed to be shaking slightly, indicating that Comrade Joseph was also impatient.

    "As far as I know, when the war situation in East Kazakhstan changed, the General Staff once reminded the Central Asian Front Army to take the initiative to retreat to avoid greater losses and ensure the safety of Tashkent. If I remember correctly, I  During the Central Asian Front Army, a combat plan was formulated in accordance with the requirements of the General Staff. Why was the plan modified beyond recognition in this Central Asian campaign? This plan was based on the results of many exercises.  Comrades from the Front Army Staff Department conducted many deductions. They unanimously concluded that in order to win the Central Asian campaign, we must concentrate our forces to capture Bishkek first and divide the power of Chinese imperialism in Central Asia. Especially mechanized troops, the plan emphasized  , must be used concentratedly. I really want to know why Comrade Pavlov completely overturned this combat plan? Decentralized use of troops, especially the scattered use of a small number of mechanized forces? The plan also emphasized that East Kazakhstan  Stan is not suitable for the use of heavy troops. Because it is close to the Chinese border, using heavy troops in this direction will allow the Chinese imperialists to quickly gather troops and launch a large-scale counterattack." Zhukov's words looked at the problem from a military perspective, but from Joseph's  From a different angle, this is another angle.  The defeat was not his fault.  It was caused by the commanding mistake of the guy in front of me who was still quibbling.

    "The commander of Chinese imperialism is Liu Mingzhao, not Zhukov. Who would have known that he and Zhukov were thinking of going together?" This is a very classic line. The difference is that the subject has been changed. The original text is a certain German general.

    Zhukov was speechless by these words and took a step back.  Stalin saluted and said: "I request to leave immediately for the Central Asian theater, and at the same time request the Military Council to pass a resolution to send no less than twenty additional infantry divisions to Central Asia. Before winter comes, I will try my best to stabilize the front in Kazakhstan.  In the process, we may be forced to abandon Tashkent."

    Stalin still has a coffin face.  He said in a calm and powerful tone: "If possible, try to secure Tashkent. Don't give up until you have to. If Tashkent is abandoned, the western front must be stabilized on the Kyzylorda line, and the southern front must secure Samarkand. Only in this way can Siberia be secured.  The front lines in the theater and the Central Asian theater are stable. Regarding the Siberian theater, does Comrade Zhukov have any other suggestions?"

    Speaking of the Siberian Campaign, Zhukov said in a relatively relaxed tone: "Comrade Chuikov has done a good job. He has assumed the responsibility of a front commander. Now it seems that it is impossible for Chinese imperialism to advance to this level before winter comes."  Omsk. If I were Comrade Chuikov, I would hope that the Chinese imperialists would appear outside Omsk before winter comes. However, according to my personal judgment, the Chinese imperialists should not make such a mistake.  Therefore, the future war situation should be mainly concentrated in the Central Asian theater. The B-17 bomber equipped by the Chinese has a range of 800 kilometers. I think the meaning of this is not difficult to imagine. Once the Chinese imperialist army advances to Baku 8  Within a hundred kilometers, it will be a huge disaster for the Soviets. The Chinese will equip at least two thousand B-17 bombers in the next year. Therefore, Chinese imperialism must be firmly blocked in Kazakhstan.  "

    After going full circle, Zhukov returned to Central Asia, which shows that he has a very deep understanding of this war situation.  In fact, the reason is very simple. The size of the Chinese ** team is so large, and it is obvious what can be done at present.

    The fate of the tough-talking Pavlov has been doomed, and Zhukov's low position has been further consolidated.  In the face of national war, the bearded man is very clear.  The war situation in Central Asia has collapsed. Chinese imperialism is not as vulnerable as imagined before the war, and spiritual victory is not reliable.  The most reliable one is ZhuGenerals such as Khov, Chuikov and Lukin, who strongly opposed the deployment of troops in East Kazakhstan before the Central Asian War, also have reliable equipment.

    Well, you can talk to the Germans about leasing the Black Sea Fleet. Because of the Battle of Britain, Germany continued to use warships and used dozens of ships in the Black Sea Fleet that were temporarily unused in exchange for new fighter jets and tanks. This deal is no longer  It was a question of whether to do it or not. It was time for the Soviet Union to beg Germany to do the deal.

    Zhukov left, Pavlov was suppressed, and he had to bear all the blame for the defeat alone. Trials and other matters seemed redundant. There was not so much free time in extraordinary times.

    Everything was as Zhukov expected, the Chinese team advanced very quickly.  The Eighth Mechanized Army ignored the remnants of the Soviet army and headed for Taraz. As a former fortress, Taraz's current garrison force was nothing more than a garrison brigade. Pavlov had all the troops he could mobilize.  Deployed.

    The Chinese tactics seem to have not changed, with continuous carpet bombing by B-17s and artillery fire coverage by self-propelled artillery from the mechanized army.  The infantry ensured that the engineers quickly repaired the railway (actually, there was no need to repair it. Pavlov had repaired it before, and there was no time to destroy it.) In just one week along the railway, the armored train cleared the way, and then five infantry divisions escorted it.  The four caliber independent heavy artillery regiments quickly reached the gates of Taraz.  The mission of the Eighth Mechanized Army came to an end, and it turned to clean up the scattered remnants of the Soviet army.

    The battle of Taraz was not as difficult as expected. Twelve 305-caliber howitzers and four 410-caliber howitzers bombarded the solid fortress for 24 hours. The infantry began to charge. The remaining Soviet troops were  Even during the day, they were overwhelmed by the tidal wave of squadrons without holding on.

    At the same time, the Andiyan squadron, under the command of Li Zongren, and the Eleventh Mechanized Corps, under the cover of two Mustang fighter wings, ran wildly along the road, followed closely by a group of local ethnic groups.  The cavalry corps and three infantry divisions, and behind them were ten B divisions that were urgently transported by train and DC-3. In just one week, Haokand was captured.  Li Zongren continued to run to the southwest without stopping. After talking for three days, he plunged into Khujand.

    Because the Eleventh Mechanized Corps was too fast, the Soviet troops originally in the Fergana Valley had no time to retreat. They were quickly dispersed and became the targets of the ten B divisions that followed.  When Li Zongren appeared in Khujand, the Soviet defense line did not have a so-called formed defense line at all. It was not unusually difficult for two infantry divisions to block a mechanized corps and a cavalry corps that followed them in Khujand.

    Just when Li Zongren felt that Khujand could be easily captured, the attack of the 11th Mechanized Army encountered insurmountable difficulties.  Before Zhukov officially took office, he ordered Lukin, who was still under investigation by the political department in Tashkent, to rush to Khujand.  When Lu Jin arrived in Khujand, the first thing he did was to mobilize all the soldiers of the two infantry divisions. Raph captured the strong men and women, and used all the labor they could find. In three days, they were in front of the Khujand defense line.  , dug an anti-tank trench about five kilometers long, two meters deep and five meters wide.

    Li Zongren could only stop. While urging the infantry behind him to follow quickly, he ordered the engineers to repair the Kokand Airport and repair the railway from Fergana to Kokand.

    Because of an anti-tank trench, Li Zongren took the initiative to retreat for 20 kilometers and waited for three days before receiving reinforcements from two infantry corps urgently transferred from the Fergana Valley.  There is no other way. The combat effectiveness of the three ethnic infantry divisions is really not reassuring. We can only rely on China's own infantry to capture Khujand.

    By the time Li Zongren assembled his troops, Lu Jin's defense line was basically formed, and he received reinforcements from an infantry division from the direction of Tashkent.  Before Zhukov officially took office, he posed a difficult problem to the Chinese team.

    Liu Mingzhao, who had been paying close attention to Khujand, after learning about the progress of the war, took the message deciphered by the intelligence department and couldn't help but said to himself: "No wonder the president has repeatedly reminded us to be careful about this guy Zhukov. He said he is very powerful, and it turns out that he is very powerful."  Extraordinary move!"

    The lz army group commanded by Li Zongren had more than 800 tanks, more than 1,000 cannons, and 250 aircraft. It took a whole week to break through Khujand's defense line.  Lukin did not choose to engage in street fighting, but took the initiative to retreat to Almarek and once again built a defense line, preparing to block the rapid advance of the Chinese army.  During the retreat, Lukin ordered all bridges to be blown up, and as many railways to be destroyed as possible.  In order to complete this task, Lukin did not hesitate to sacrifice an infantry division that was too late to withdraw.  Although Lukin, who had withdrawn to Almarek, had less than one infantry division, Zhukov, who arrived in Tashkent, still highly praised his results.  In the small city of Khujand, it is a great achievement to be able to block China's powerful mechanized army group for a week.  (To be continued.
