    Chapter 193

    Beijing, General Staff Headquarters, Fang Jianxiong, who is always paying attention to the war situation in Central Asia and Siberia, has not slept well recently.  Chuikov spent a lot of money in Novosibirsk and wanted to drag the war into the cold winter regardless of casualties. Now the fighting in Novosibirsk is very fierce. Although the two armies entered Novosibirsk, the Soviet army relied on solid fortifications to fight in the streets, which made Gao Sheng very unhappy.  Headache.

    The battle in Novosibirsk has not yet ended, and the Thunder Plan in Central Asia has begun to take action. The two battlefields seem to be thousands of miles apart, but in fact they are related to each other.  Fang Jianxiong became even busier and simply moved to the General Staff Office.

    Not long after taking a nap, Jiang Fangzhen and Xu Shuzheng came in with a telegram.  In fact, they also knew that Fang Jianxiong had not slept well, but no one dared to be negligent in such a big matter.

    "Wait a minute!" Fang Jianxiong rubbed his eyes vigorously, rushed to the washstand and wiped his face with a cold wet towel, then took the telegram and started reading it.  Liu Mingzhao's advance judgment was quickly verified by the Tingfeng team, and Moscow had agreed to Zhukov's plan.  In fact, Zhukov had made two preparations before, just to prevent the Chinese troops from going south after receiving domestic reinforcements.  After all, Central Asia is adjacent to Xinjiang and has convenient railway transportation conditions.  If China can launch the Siberian Campaign soon after the war in Central Asia, it should be able to quickly reinforce Central Asia.

    "Liu Mingzhao's idea is very thorough. No matter what Zhukov planned, there is no big problem with this adjustment now. The key is to stick closely to the core strategy of forcing Zhukov to retreat south. After this partial adjustment, the result of the entire campaign is roughly  It is certain that although Zhukov was powerful and had made a lot of preparations in advance, he still fell into Liu Mingzhao's trick. Otherwise, with the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army, it would have been impossible to advance five kilometers in the early stages of the battle while still being prepared.  It can achieve the result of wiping out a certain amount of living forces." Fang Jianxiong still confirmed what Liu Mingzhao meant, but then fell into thinking.  Xu Shuzheng hesitated to speak, but Jiang Fangzhen shook his head.  That means don't interrupt his train of thought.

    Sure enough, after thinking briefly, Fang Jianxiong raised his head and said: "Add more troops! Since Zhukov is determined to deal with our army in Central Asia, then drive Zhukov across the Amu Darya River while besieging Tashkent. The total strength of the Central Asian Front Army is now 1  About 1.8 million, and five more infantry corps will be transferred to Liu Mingzhao to besiege Tashkent."

    Jiang Fangzhen said: "Support the country. The key now is the Novosibirsk battlefield. Since the Thunder Plan in Central Asia has not been discovered by Zhukov, it will not be difficult to achieve the established campaign goals. I am very worried about Novosibirsk. Chuikov's defense is very resolute.  The mechanized troops in Gao Sheng's hands are difficult to deploy in Siberia and can only be used as infantry cover. In the past two days, the tank losses have been considerable. Although the Soviet army has suffered greater losses, Chuikov is still investing troops in the city. From this we can judge  , Chuikov received reinforcements."

    Xu Shuzheng scratched his head and said: "Old Maozi is really good. In the First World War in Central Asia, millions of Soviet troops were wiped out, and so many troops soon came up for reinforcements. Moreover, the Soviet army became more and more tenacious as they fought. The Siberian winter has come.  The previous battle plan was repeatedly hampered, and this battle did not go smoothly at all.¡±

    "Since the founding of the Soviet Union, it has been tempered in the war for many years, forming a whole set of systems that serve the war. This system is very efficient during the war. Once it comes to peacetime, the system will not change for thirty years, and the country will  It will be difficult for the economy to sustain itself. Send a telegram to Gao Sheng. Tell him that he must seize Novosibirsk before the severe winter comes. Hum, Chuikov is determined to delay until winter, but he does not know that winter also has its advantages, that is, the ground freezes and hardens, mechanization  The march of the troops is guaranteed. The equipment of the Far East Military Region has been specially developed. The trucks are all burning diesel and are not afraid of freezing. I estimate that Gao Sheng's staff have already planned a new battle plan. Very soon  Maybe they are making a fuss about Chuikov's plan to pick up Novosibirsk and hold back our army. If they didn't think of this, they wouldn't be able to graduate from mainland China." Fang Jianxiong's smile was somewhat bitter. How tenacious was the Soviet Union in World War II? He was  knew.

    Just after saying this, Jiang Fangzhen and Xu Shuzheng were dumbfounded. Xu Shuzheng turned around and left the office. Fang Jianxiong looked at his back and said, "What's wrong?" Jiang Fangzhen said, "Just an hour ago, Gao Sheng's latest battle plan came out.  , Exactly what you just said, taking advantage of the opportunity of the ice and hardening of the ground, the mechanized troops quickly moved around and packed no less than fifty divisions of the Soviet Siberian Front into the encirclement before the severe winter came. I and I  Zheng thought this plan was too risky, so he didn¡¯t take it over for you to take a look at, and planned to just mention it casually.¡±

    Fang Jianxiong laughed after hearing this and said: "You still don't understand Gao Sheng. He is very arrogant. Liu Mingzhao, a junior, has played so well in Central Asia. He feels bad. He must urge those who participated."? Come up with a reasonable battle plan.  In the past, Chuikov used strategic depth not to fight him, but now he is willing to fight. Even if he suffers greater casualties, Gao Sheng will not let go of this opportunity.  If the line is busy and we push forward another 500 kilometers, I won¡¯t even consider this plan because the logistical pressure simply cannot bear it.  At this distance, the logistical pressure is still bearable, so I conclude that he will not give in.  "

    "In that case, let's study the war situation in Central Asia. Speaking of which, Yang Zui led his troops to airdrop, which hit Zhukov's vital point and forced him to retreat south." Just as he was talking, Xu Shuzheng came back.  He waved the telegram in his hand and said: "There is another telegram from Central Asia. The paratroopers in Bezingen have discovered traces of a large group of Soviet troops. Zhukov sent no less than one army to the west. All the transport planes of the Air Force have been used, and they are urgently airlifting two  Mountain Division reinforcements. Also, this is Gao Sheng¡¯s battle plan.¡±

    Fang Jianxiong took over the plan and signed it without even looking at it. At this time, there was no reason for hesitation.  Since Gao Sheng wants to fight, he must have done it carefully.  Instead of questioning him, it's better to give him enough trust.

    In Khuzhan, Liu Mingzhao was silent for a long time after reading the reply from Beijing. He stood up for a long time and said to Zhang Zhizhong in a heavy tone: "I will repay the kindness of the president with death." This sentence resonated with Zhang Zhizhong, who nodded and said:  "Xin Chen is still on the front line. If the people below hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed to the front line troops. He also holds the same mood. Here in Central Asia, almost all the first-year students of Wuhu Mainland University are playing the leading role. I think  Everyone has the same thoughts.¡±

    "Let's not talk about it anymore. Now that Zhukov's plan has been seen through, it is just a dream for him to retreat safely. No matter what, we have to let him lose his arms and legs, lest he still wants to hold back the main force of our army after retreating across the Amu Darya River.  . Inform Chen Chen to increase the offensive intensity in the middle, pull up the resting tank regiment of the Eighth Mechanized Army, use tanks to cover the infantry, and make it difficult for Zhukov to escape at all costs. As for Bezingen, let the air force move faster.  Throw the two mountain divisions over as quickly as possible, and make sure that no less than one brigade of fighter planes is supporting them at any time during the day above Bezingen."

    "Bocheng, are you still worried that Zhukov wants to eat Yang Zui and the others?" Zhang Zhizhong asked. Liu Mingzhao shook his head and said: "I am worried about the direction of Urgench. It seems that the pre-war investigation was not done well. I didn't expect that.  Urgench still dares to take the initiative, which shows that there are many troops stationed there."

    "This really can't be blamed on the investigation. According to the deciphered telegram, we learned that the Soviet 63rd Infantry Army that appeared in Urgench was formerly part of the Western Front. It should be a unit transferred from Europe. It just happened to catch up.  "Zhang Zhizhong thought of this and quickly explained.  Liu Mingzhao's expression did not relax, but he said more seriously: "This is even more troublesome. It shows that the strategic center of the Soviet Union has begun to shift to Central Asia. With a 63rd Infantry Army, there will be more reinforcements. The President is  It has been said that as long as there is enough equipment, the Soviet army can arm five million troops within half a year. Even if they are all infantry, it is still a huge force. Therefore, we must not be careless in the slightest."
