<h1>Chapter 257 Three-Front Attack</h1> [257] Three-Front Attack There are currently five group armies in the Shenyang Theater, namely the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 31st, and 32nd Group Armies. Their strength is tied for second with the Lanzhou Theater and Jinan Theater. Second only to the Beijing Theater with six armies. Because there is no brigade establishment, compared to the current size of the Russian army of nearly 50,000 people per army, the group army of the Chinese Republic can only be called a division-level army. Relying on the assistance and guidance of the 21st century, the organization of domestic group armies has begun to become more complex. All group armies have split the 82nd mortar battalion directly under each division into three artillery companies and assigned them to each regiment, making each The group has 9 doors and 82 guns for flexible use. After the mortar battalions were split and decentralized, in order to strengthen division-level firepower, armies across the country successively established division-affiliated Type 66 152mm howitzer battalions. Each battalion was equipped with 12 second-hand Type 66 152mm howitzers. In addition, in order to strengthen the direct attack firepower, a recoilless gun battery was added to the first-level establishment of each group army, equipped with 9 Type 82 80mm recoilless guns or 9 Type 78 82mm recoilless guns. Due to the limitation of comprehensive national strength, the Republic of 1881 could not afford armored divisions or armored brigades for the time being. In order to achieve an early transition to armored regiments equipped with mechanized infantry battalions and self-propelled artillery battalions, some military regions were ordered to form tank battalions. The Republic also leads the world in the development of its air force, but its aircraft models are crude, using all JJ-6s imported from the 21st century. The JJ6 with a range of only 650 kilometers is a primary trainer and sports aircraft. It is extremely easy to learn and use. In a 21st century flying sports club, driver training can be completed in only 15 days or 40 hours. The maintenance of the modified aircraft is very simple. Convenient and extremely low maintenance and repair prices. In the 21st century, it is very popular among aviation sports enthusiasts around the world. It has never had any aviation accidents during exports for many years and has a good reputation among aviation enthusiasts around the world. The Republic of China in 1881 adopted Primary Education Six mainly because of three factors. First, there was no pressure from air combat. When the young Air Force was first established, it was mainly used for military reconnaissance. With a flight time of about 4 hours and a flight radius of more than 300 kilometers, the JJ-6 can fully meet the needs of enemy reconnaissance and artillery calibration. Secondly, in order to make a transition and gradually establish the air force, the first six courses are flight trainers, which can train a large number of pilots. The ultimate goal is to establish the aviation industry, starting from the sixth grade of junior high school, and gradually forming the Chinese Republic's own aircraft manufacturing capabilities. There are currently only two tank battalions in the Shenyang Military Region. As secret troops directly under the jurisdiction of the military region, they can be deployed flexibly during wartime to cooperate with group army operations. After receiving the order of war, a tank battalion of the Shenyang Military Region set out from Harbin City with 43 Type 62 light tanks, crossed the Mudanjiang River on a flat-bed ferry, and arrived at Suifenhe, where they conducted pre-war rest and maintenance. The batch of castrated Type 62 tanks sold to Yao Fan in the 21st century had a total combat weight of only 20 tons and were equipped with an 85mm tank gun. The Type 62 is a smaller and lighter version of the Type 59 tank. It weighs only half of the Type 59 and is very suitable for road traffic. Average level of 1881. For this era before tanks were born, the Type 62 light tank is a god-like existence for the army of any country. The 45mm turret armor, 35mm front armor, and 25mm side armor are enough to last at least twenty years. On the morning of April 5, the 4th Group Army of the Shenyang Theater Command in Harbin, with its first tank battalion, pontoon regiment, three tractor-based transport groups, and a large number of mules and horses as logistics militia, marched along the Suifen River border in a mighty manner. The dirt road passed through the humiliating border of the ceded land and headed towards the Russian border fortress Polanich, which was twenty kilometers away. According to the pre-war reconnaissance conducted by several aircraft of the Shenyang Military Region Flying Reconnaissance Brigade, along the road from Suifenhe to Vladivostok, Russia has three fortresses with about 8,000 troops stationed, 17 artillery positions, and 300 fortress guns of various calibers. There are many, more than 400 infantry guns, mostly breech-loading guns, and some muzzle-loading guns. Although as the Chinese Republic grew stronger, Russia continued to strengthen the size and equipment level of its Far East garrison. However, since the Russian elite had been in Europe for a long time, the Far East had always been the final destination for the elimination of weapons, so that until 1881, the garrison in Vladivostok It barely reached 30,000 people, about two divisions, and the artillery was not very sophisticated. But compared to the garrison of less than 8,000 soldiers that existed for five or six thousand years, this is already an extremely large-scale expansion. Just as the Fourth Army was sending troops towards Vladivostok, the 5th Army stationed in Jiamusi also set out from the assembly area on the border and rushed towards Khabarovsk, which is what the Russians call Khabarovsk. The goal of the 31st Group Army stationed in Suihua is Hailanpao, which is also known as Blagoveshchensk in the Russian population. The goal of Bell's 32nd Group Army stationed in Hulun is Chita, located southeast of Lake Baijia. This is the westernmost and last target in the Shenyang theater. Not only was the Shenyang Theater in action, but the Beijing Theater also mobilized the 29th and 30th Group Armies to Cullen, later known as Ulaanbaatar, through the Beijing-Kulun Railway. In addition to the original 7th Army in Ulaanbaatar, the three armies in the Mongolian region were mobilized, relying on the continuous supply of the North-Kujiang Railway, towards Upper Uginsk (later Ulan-Ude) and the so-called heart of Siberia. Irkutsk pounced. According to the plan, once the important Siberian town of Irkutsk, which is garrisoned by an entire Russian army of 50,000 people, is captured, the next target of the Beijing Military Region will be Krasnoyarsk, which is the relay station of the Siberian Railway currently under construction. , the Russians regarded this as a bridgehead and built an arms factory and a locomotive repair shop here. Thanks to the convenience of the railway from Lanzhou to Urumqi and the completion of the two special railway lines from Urumqi to Ili and Urumqi to Kashgar, the five armies of the Lanzhou Theater have already gathered in Urumqi and have now marched to Ili and Kashgar, which are located at the war outposts. Their target is the Central Asia region ruled by Russia. This area was originally the territory of the Junggar Mongols in the Qing Dynasty. Although there have been many rebellions in history, this area has been part of China's territory since the Han and Tang Dynasties. After Kangxi put down the Junggar rebellion, Central Asia once again It professed its vassalage to the Qing Dynasty until 1876, when the Russian invasion led to the collapse of the Kokand Khanate in the region and China lost the region. In this time and space, due to Yao Fan's revolution, Russia still successfully swept through Central Asia, and further set its sights on the Ili region. The goal of the Lanzhou Theater is to capture Almaty, Bishkek, Tashkent, Dushanbe, and Samarkand and completely control Central Asia. Once this strategic goal is achieved, Russia can only retreat two thousand kilometers north and return to Yekaterinburg. More than thirty years of infiltration and aggression in Central Asia will come to nothing.
