    Comprehensive strength

    When Stalin was angry, even the Chief of General Staff of the Red Army, Tukhachevsky, did not dare to speak at this time.

    For a time, there was no other sound except the constant bursts of curses coming from Stalin¡¯s office.

    Until Stalin was tired of scolding and his red face slowly returned to calm, Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky¡¯s calm reply sounded in the office.

    "Comrade Stalin, please calm down. I believe that our scientific research strength must far exceed that of the Chinese National Defense Force. And the reason why the Chinese National Defense Force can leave us behind in a series of research results, I suspect that there must be an unknown person hidden behind the National Defense Force."  The huge force. It is this huge force that controls the National Defense Forces, develops and grows step by step, and has repeatedly caused huge losses and casualties to our Soviet government"

    "Huh?" Stalin frowned and immediately fell into deep thought.

    A year ago, Stalin had this idea when he first came into contact with the Wehrmacht.

    As the world¡¯s first independent country, the Soviet Union not only had to withstand pressure from within, but also had to withstand various pressures from the outside.  Especially in European and American capitalist countries, although they cannot overthrow the Communist Party through frontal means, various hidden methods have never been interrupted.

    In the eyes of these capitalist countries, as long as it can lead to the complete destruction of Japan and allow the Soviet government to take over, it is possible for them to pay no matter how high the price.  Because, with the gradual improvement of the Soviet Union's overall strength, especially its military strength, it has invisibly put increasing pressure on European and American capitalist countries.

    Therefore, it is not impossible for these European and American countries to find ways to cultivate an agent in the Far East to restrict and suppress the Soviet Union.

    However, the only thing that puzzled Stalin was that this seemingly supported National Defense Force actually developed into such a powerful force in just a few years.  In Stalin's eyes, this was fundamentally different from the series of policies adopted by European and American countries against the Republic of China.

    Although Stalin was a die-hard communist.  And it is in a state of hostility with the European and American countries.  However, as the supreme ruler of the great powers, he also knew that in the eyes of the great powers.  A Republic of China with constant civil war will definitely be more beneficial to them than a unified Republic of China.  Therefore, European and American countries support spokesmen even in the Far East.  It is also impossible for the spokesperson to develop to such a powerful level that it even threatens the numerous interests of European and American countries in the Republic of China.

    Because of this, after a long period of analysis, Stalin judged at that time that the National Defense Forces were definitely not the spokesperson supported by European and American countries to specifically target and suppress the Soviet government.

    However, when the chief of staff raised this question again, Stalin couldn't help but start to doubt his original judgment.  There is a suspect.  Stalin's aggrieved heart immediately relaxed a lot.

    At this moment, Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky took advantage of the situation and continued to comfort: "Comrade Stalin, this battle report not only contains bad news, but also good news for us"

    "According to the report: Although the heavy tanks equipped by the National Defense Force far exceed ours in performance, our artillery units have far exceeded the National Defense Force in terms of number. In the artillery battle between the enemy and ourselves, the artillery of the National Defense Force was almost overwhelmed by ours.  Fight. In addition, the new fighter jets equipped by our air force far surpass the Wehrmacht in some performances. On the air combat battlefield with the same number of fighter jets, the air force that ultimately wins the air battle must be our great Soviet Air Force."

    "Then why on the battlefield in Outer Mongolia, we were defeated even though we had an absolute advantage in strength Could it be that the National Defense Forces could defeat us, who had hundreds of thousands of elite Red Army troops, just by relying on a new type of aircraft and tanks that we had never seen before  "Stalin's brows that had just relaxed frowned again and asked Tukhachevsky.

    "No" Tukhachevsky shook his head firmly and said in denial.

    Under Stalin's doubtful gaze, he analyzed: "Comrade Stalin, I think that in addition to the two reasons you just mentioned above, there is another important reason for the defeat on the front line. That is our army's reckless advance of the enemy."

    "Without the air force's timely follow-up, the 200,000-strong army went directly deep into Outer Mongolia. In this case, the Red Army soldiers who penetrated deeply into Outer Mongolia lost their only air superiority. Without air superiority, there is no air supremacy. There is no battlefield air supremacy.  , the National Defense Force tank troops can kill our troops at will on the battlefield"

    "As for the counterattack of the National Defense Forces that occurred last night, if our army did not underestimate the enemy and had absolute superiority in artillery and air force, even if the National Defense Forces launched a comprehensive counterattack, our army would not be defeated so easily."

    ¡°Although our air force does not yet have the capabilities of night flying and night fighting, it can still do so in times of crisis.??Light-off operations at night.  As long as our air force has enough bombers, even if it conducts blind bombing on the ground, it can block the Wehrmacht tank offensive through aerial bombing and save the war situation"

    Although Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky¡¯s answer contained a certain amount of wishful thinking.  However, in the eyes of Stalin, who was frowning, this answer was just a step down.  At the same time, it also allowed me to regain my confidence in the National Defense Forces.

    After five minutes of contemplation, Stalin, who once again showed hope on his face, asked Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky: "Comrade Tukhachevsky, if you are allowed to go to the Far East to temporarily command the remaining six people in the Far East Military Region,  Are the 150,000 Red Army elites sure they can retake the Far East and Outer Mongolia from the hands of the National Defense Forces, and avenge their past humiliation"

    Tukhachevsky seemed to have been prepared for it, and answered bluntly: "I am sure to report to Comrade Stalinbut I need time, and it will be a long time. Because I plan to fight with the Soviet Union on the Sino-Soviet border  The Chinese National Defense Forces are engaged in a protracted stalemate war. Through these protracted battles, the strength of the National Defense Forces is weakened little by little, and the already terminally ill National Defense Forces are completely wiped out on the battlefield, regaining lost ground, and avenging the past"

    "Tell me your reasons for fighting a protracted war with the Wehrmacht" Stalin asked with a puzzled look on his face.

    In Stalin¡¯s eyes, since the chief of staff said that the Far East Military Region still had air superiority and firepower superiority, the confident chief of staff would definitely be able to defeat the Wehrmacht in a short time, regain lost ground, and avenge previous humiliation.

    But now, the chief of staff, who looked confident just now, actually told himself: the battle he wanted to fight was not a quick victory, but a protracted stalemate.  This had to make Stalin confused.

    Faced with Stalin¡¯s confused look at him, Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky replied very calmly: ¡°Yes, Comrade Stalin. I just want to fight a protracted stalemate with the Wehrmacht¡±

    "Compared with the National Defense Forces at the same time, our Soviet Far East Army not only has air force superiority, artillery superiority, troop superiority, but also a huge advantage that the National Defense Forces can never surpass, that is the comprehensive strength of the two forces"

    "Comprehensive strength" Stalin asked with a thoughtful look on his face.

    Facing Stalin's gaze, Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky analyzed: "Comrade Stalin, with the current military production capacity of the Soviet government, even if we lose hundreds of fighter planes and more than a thousand heavy tanks on the front line. In the end,  In two months' time, these losses can be replenished."

    "What about the National Defense Forces? Although we don't know the true military strength of the National Defense Forces, the land occupied by the National Defense Forces is only so large after all. More importantly, there are only so many resources that the National Defense Forces can use. Because we have nothing to show that the National Defense Forces have  Evidence of large-scale imports of mineral resources to the outside world"

    At this moment, Stalin seemed to have thought of something, and then added: "There is another irresistible limiting factor to the military-industrial strength of the National Defense Forces. The literacy rate of ordinary people in China can be said to be far lower than that of the Soviet Union, and those who can enter the military  There are even fewer scientific talents in factories. Therefore, in terms of talent pool, the National Defense Forces have no chance to continuously expand their military industry strength"

    "The Chairman is wise" After sighing at Stalin's keen political acumen, Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky continued his analysis.

    "In my combat plan, the remaining 650,000 elites of the Far East Military Region rely on the strong domestic military production capacity to continuously weaken the strength of the National Defense Forces. Even if the loss of enemy and friendly forces on the battlefield reaches a state of one to one, with the Soviet Union's powerful  Military production capacity can also be replenished immediately. However, the National Defense Force, whose military industrial strength is far inferior to ours, cannot replenish battlefield losses in a short period of time."

    "If this kind of battle that only consumes and cannot be replenished can continue as I predict, within half a year at the latest, the National Defense Forces at the height of their power will completely lose their combat effectiveness under our continuous bloodletting attacks. By then, even if the National Defense Forces still have  We have the advantage of ground tanks and even new aircraft that we have never seen before. We can also rely on absolute superiority to destroy it, take back all the lost ground from the National Defense Forces, and avenge our shame"

    Stalin¡¯s eyes lit up and he said excitedly: ¡°Yes, you are right, this is the gap in comprehensive strength.¡±

    "In today's war, the battle is fought based on comprehensive strength. If the battle cannot be ended in a short time, then compete with the opponent's comprehensive strength. As long as your overall strength far exceeds that of the opponent, the final winner of this protracted battle will definitely belong to you.  "

    "Since we can no longer ensure victory in the war against the National Defense Forces in a short period of time, we will fight a protracted war with the National Defense Forces and strive for comprehensive strength with the National Defense Forces"

    Having said this, a confident smile immediately appeared on Stalin's face.

      Facing Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky in front of him, he decisively ordered: "Comrade Tukhachevsky, just as you said, fight a protracted stalemate with the Wehrmacht and defeat the Wehrmacht in terms of comprehensive strength  .¡±

    A complex expression full of confidence and enthusiasm quickly appeared on the face of Chief of Staff Tukhachevsky, and he assured Stalin loudly: "Please rest assured, Comrade Stalin, I promise to complete the task and avenge the shame"

    "It's just that starting from today, the steady stream of weapons and equipment produced by our military industry department, especially Air Force fighter jets and large-caliber artillery, can be tilted towards the Far East Army. Only in this way can the Far East Army truly have a comprehensive capability that far exceeds that of the Chinese National Defense Forces  strength, and finally defeated the Chinese National Defense Force"

    "I promise you" Faced with this opportunity to avenge his shame, Stalin answered without hesitation.

    "Starting from today, I will send 70% of the various weapons and equipment produced by the military industry department to the Far East Military Region."

    The National Defense Forces, whose victory was decisive in the first battle, pursued the victory and pushed the front line back to the Sino-Soviet border.  The newly formed First Division of the National Defense Forces from the Pingjin area, totaling 15,000 troops, entered the improvised military camp temporarily arranged by the Ninth Army with nothing but confusion and excitement various complex expressions.

    No matter in any country, any army Even if the army that can get the first place is not the army with the strongest combat effectiveness, it is an army with special significance.

    The newly formed First Division of the National Defense Forces has entered the military camp in front of us. Although it is unclear whether this division's combat effectiveness is the strongest among the 350,000 newly formed troops.  but.  However, the new commander of the First Division was the first senior officer among the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Shanxi-Sui Army and the former Northeastern Army to take the initiative to rebel against the National Defense Forces.

    He was Major General Wu Keren who was the first person in Shanhaiguan to take the initiative to lead his troops to join the National Defense Forces on the battlefield.

    As a soldier, he made great achievements in the anti-Japanese battlefield in later generations.  A famous anti-Japanese general who eventually died on the battlefield.  Li Guosheng admires him very much from the bottom of his heart, because.  In the army commanded by the Nationalist Government, senior generals like Xiang Wu Keren put their own safety first even in war, and there was absolutely no danger.

    But Wu Keren, who eventually died on the battlefield, unexpectedly had a heart that dared to fight and die and lived and died with the officers and soldiers.  Therefore, facing the unique Wu Keren, Li Guosheng directly named him as the commander of the new first division of the National Defense Forces.

    Compared with the blindness of ordinary soldiers and low-level officers.  Although Wu Keren did not know the specific mission of this trip, he had already vaguely felt it from a series of battle reports issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces.  The purpose of his trip must be related to the Soviets, and even to join the battle between the National Defense Forces and the Soviet Union.

    In the tent where Li Guosheng was, facing Wu Keren, who was less than ten years older than him, Li Guosheng said with a serious face: "Commander Wu, this mission is for the 350,000 newly formed troops. I won't hide it from you either.  . In the next month, or even several months, the 350,000 newly formed troops will have only one task, and that is to stick like a nail on the Sino-Soviet defense line. Block the possible attack by the Soviet Red Army.  All offense.¡±

    Wu Keren's eyes unexpectedly shot a scorching gaze, and he said excitedly to Li Guosheng: "Commander-in-Chief, you don't know that when we were in the Northeast, we suffered from so many old men. Now we finally have the opportunity to fight on the battlefield.  Let¡¯s fight it out with Lao Maozi. I, Wu Keren, and the more than 10,000 soldiers under my command will never embarrass you, Commander-in-Chief. Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, that as long as there is one person alive in the new First Division, the Soviet Red Army will not be allowed to cross the Sino-Soviet border.  .¡±

    Seeing Li Guosheng nodded in approval, Wu Keren changed the subject and asked with a worried look: "It's just, Commander-in-Chief, if you want to stop the Soviet attack, the soldiers must have weapons in their hands. However, so far,  , except for officers above the company level who have guns, the entire First Division does not even have a machine gun I don¡¯t know when the troops will receive the equipment. The earlier they receive the equipment, the earlier the soldiers can form combat effectiveness and go to the battlefield.  Kill the enemy¡­¡±

    "Don't worry about the equipment" Li Guosheng replied confidently.

    "In our National Defense Forces, since its establishment, there has never been a situation where soldiers went to the battlefield with bare hands. You must know that just two days ago, we just seized weapons and equipment from the Soviet Far East Army that were enough to equip an army of 300,000 people.  However, for the sake of further action plan, we did not disclose it.¡±

    Faced with Wu Keren's increasingly intense gaze, Li Guosheng asked bluntly: "Commander Wu, I want to know whether the newly reorganized First Division meets the requirements of a field infantry division of the National Defense Forces and is equipped with enough  A large number of artillery and armor"

    Although Wu Keren wanted to give Li Guosheng a positive answer.  However, knowing the reality, he still answered helplessly: "General, the number of artillery has beenEnough, after all, I served in the artillery before entering the field force.  Therefore, even if there are not enough artillery, I have trained a large number of reserve gunners in the army"

    "As for the armored forces you also know that in the original Northeast Army, there were almost no organized armored forces, so we did not carry out armored forces. However, I have concentrated all the soldiers in the division who can drive and have a certain level of education into armored assault  Battalion, as the seed for the development and growth of the Armored Assault Battalion."

    "You have a good idea" Li Guosheng affirmed with a look of appreciation.

    Then, Wu Keren ordered to Wu Keren in front of him: "Immediately send the officers and soldiers gathered in the armored assault battalion to the armored group army, and the armored group army will conduct training on their behalf If the training is completed, I will directly expand it into a tank regiment."

    "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, the soldiers who enter the armored assault battalion are all the best soldiers of the newly formed First Division. They will definitely be able to complete the training in the shortest time What about the equipment of other units? When will it be available to the troops"  While making loud assurances to Li Guosheng, Wu Keren asked cautiously.

    Li Guosheng smiled and replied: "I think you are thinking about your artillery regiment"

    "Since you are an artilleryman and have trained a sufficient number of artillery reserves in the army, then I will meet your request."

    "The new First Division has been reorganized in accordance with the configuration of other field forces of the National Defense Forces. The division currently has three field infantry regiments, a light howitzer regiment, an armored assault battalion, a guard battalion, a logistics transportation battalion, a communications company, and an engineer  Company, a field hospital"

    Seeing Wu Keren¡¯s face gradually glowing, Li Guosheng continued to add: ¡°In addition, I will add another heavy howitzer regiment to you, with a total of 36 150 mm caliber heavy howitzers. I don¡¯t know if you have enough artillery¡±
