After Qiu Yahui's report was transmitted back to Tianjin, it was quickly approved by the Military Commission, agreeing that he would set up a position at the Nine Gates to prepare for the attack of the Russian army. 81?Chinese?网 ??(8)?.(8)8(8)1?Z?(1).?COM In fact, entering the inner belly of China from the northeast, it is not only the road of Shanhaiguan, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Qing army repeatedly detoured to Mongolia, broke through the defense line of the Great Wall, and entered the inner belly of China to plunder, but as long as there is Shanhaiguan, it is impossible to stably gain a foothold in the inner belly of China from the northeast, so in the end, the Qing court still occupied the Shanhaiguan because of Wu Sangui's surrender, so that it drove straight into Beijing for a long time.

Moreover, Shanhaiguan also has a railway that can directly connect Tianjin and Beijing, at this time, the railway is of great significance to military operations, so the Russian army has no choice but to storm Shanhaiguan and open up the passage into Beijing, and the two sides will definitely have a fierce battle in Shanhaiguan.

At this time, Qin Zheng had returned to Tianjin from Beijing, and all the three giants who had crossed the group military commission had gathered, so they immediately held consultations to discuss the overall arrangement of facing the Russian army, which was not only the tactics of resisting the Russian army, but also included various material allocation, military and logistics personnel arrangements, diplomatic mediation, and so on.

Of course, the first is military, after all, if you can't resist the attack of the Russian army militarily, everything else will be done in vain. According to the news of Qiu Yahui's return, the Russian army has launched an attack on Jinzhou, and the distance from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan is about 18o kilometers, and the marching degree of this era, the marching distance of one day is about 2o-3o kilometers, like in the old time and space, the Red Army flew to capture the Huding Bridge, and marched 24o kilometers in one day and one night, which is an impossible miracle in military history.

In this way, even if it is tentatively concluded that the Russian army has captured Jinzhou and immediately attacked from Jinzhou, it will take 6-9 days to reach Shanhaiguan, and considering that after the Russian army captures Jinzhou, it will still take a certain amount of time to repair and prepare, so the People's Army has at least 1o days of preparation time, and can calmly arrange the defense line, dig trenches, and build fortifications.

Moreover, a fortified city like Xiangshanhaiguan is almost impossible to break through if there are not enough large and medium-caliber artillery, and it is not easy to rely on livestock and manpower to transport large and medium-caliber artillery, and the traverser will naturally not let the Russian army have the opportunity to march calmly, so the actual time left for the traverser is estimated to be about 15 days. Naturally, this time is quite sufficient. However, this is only the time expected by the traverser, and it is still necessary to set up secret posts along the way to closely monitor the whereabouts of the Russian army, supplemented by a warship cruising in the bay to reconnoiter the movements of the Russian army.

The general strategy of meeting the Russian army has long been formulated, that is, to resist the attack of the Russian army on the frontal battlefield of Shanhaiguan, and at the same time take advantage of the naval advantage of the crossing group, send an elite force and armored troops to board behind the Russian army6, take the armored forces as the lead, launch a surprise attack on the Russian army, attack from both sides, and defeat the Russian army in one fell swoop.

After the discussion of the Military Commission, a code name was also determined for this combat plan, called "Operation Chunxiao", because it was the end of February 19o1, just after the Spring Festival, and it was spring coming.

Xiao Jianjun decided to arrange the second regiment, the fifth regiment, and the seventh regiment to garrison in Shanhaiguan, of which the second and fifth regiments were the main force, and the seventh regiment was a new regiment that had just been formed, as a reserve force, and at the same time, Xiao Jianjun also decided to arrange the only howitzer battalion of the People's Army and the field artillery battalion of the first regiment to be arranged in the Shanhaiguan battlefield, and at the same time ordered Zhu Yaping, the commander of the 6th Army, to sit in Shanhaiguan and command the battle.

And the 6th operation of Fu Zhideng, which attacked from behind the Russian army, consisted of a regiment of all troops except the field artillery battalion, cavalry companies, special forces and armored units. Before this, Xiao Jianjun also thought about whether to divide the armored forces into two and use them for the frontal defense of the Deng6 operation and the Shanhaiguan defense line, of course, Xiao Jianjun did not want to use the armored troops for positional defense, but when attacking the Russian army, both sides could use the armored forces as the lead to attack the Russian army's defense line.

However, after careful consideration, Xiao Jianjun still decided to use all the armored units for the Deng-6 operation, because all the armored units that crossed this time were ZBd-o5 two-fold combat vehicles, and the Deng-6 operation was originally the strength of this type of combat vehicle, and it was not possible to abandon the advantages and learn from the weaknesses; moreover, the concentrated use of armored vehicles was originally one of the core principles of armored operations, and there were not many armored vehicles that crossed the plane, and there were only 28 of them, except for the 4 command vehicles. There are 6 maintenance vehicles, and there are only 18 real combat vehicles, of which only 9 are equipped with 1o5 mm guns, and the other 9 are equipped with 3o mm machine guns, of course, the command vehicles are also equipped with 3o mm machine guns, which can be used for combat, but if the armored forces are dispersed into combat, it is obvious that the full strength of the armored forces cannot be wielded. And as long as the armored forces can disrupt the Russian front, then the troops defending Shanhaiguan can attack the Russian army even if they have no armored troops.

At the same time, since it was a 6-6 operation, the navy could not be idle, and naturally in addition to the Changbaishan ship, it would also dispatch combat ships to assist the 6 th Army in the operation. And at this time there was good news from Qingdao, the battleship Brandenburg, the ironclad ship Saxony, the protective cruisers Orlando, Lufthansa, The Akashi has been repaired, and it turns out that these warships were captured by traversers, or sunk in the shallows, although the superstructure of the hull has been damaged to varying degrees, but the damage is mainly to the ship's weapons, and the hull below the waterline is basically intact, because of the power system is not damaged, the difficulty of such a warship to repair is relatively low, and it does not take too long.

The shipbuilding built by Germany in Qingdao was actually positioned to repair warships, and some maintenance materials were also prepared, mainly steel plates, although there were not many shipboard weapons and parts prepared, but they could be dismantled and used on other salvaged warships, so the east wall was dismantled and the west wall was repaired. Moreover, the crossing group also captured a group of German workers from the shipyard in Qingdao, who were all skilled workers, and could also ensure that these warships were repaired as soon as possible.

Of course, there is still a certain shrinkage in the shipboard weapons, after all, it can only be dismantled and used from other warships, and it may not be possible to find a completely suitable one, which is the battleship Brandenburg and the ironclad ship Saxony, and the main guns are all 6 28o mm caliber naval guns, but there are not so many substitutes, so they are all reduced to only 4 main guns.

Several other warships that were sunk by the traverser, although they were all waterlogged, but because the damaged parts were below the waterline, they were only after being salvaged, they were simply plugged with wooden planks and honey wax, and to completely repair, they had to go into the dry dock or slipway for repair, and now the dry dock of Qingdao Shipyard is under construction, so it naturally cannot be repaired. In addition, after the ship sank, the engine and boiler were soaked in seawater and suffered a certain amount of corrosion, and now the Qingdao shipyard has neither the ability to repair the engine and boiler, nor the replaceable finished product, so the salvaged warship cannot be repaired.

However, despite this, there are more than these 5 repair warships, which can still greatly increase the strength of the traverser navy, although the 5 modern warships that have been traversed have strong combat effectiveness, but after all, the number is too small, it is difficult to invest troops in several directions at the same time, and because there is no logistics maintenance ability of these 5 modern warships, the traverser is also very careful to use, all the battles are outside the range of the enemy's main guns, for fear that any warship will be damaged, it will be a big loss.

Although in the previous battle, the traverser also captured more than ten warships that were basically intact and could be used immediately, but they were all destroyers or shallow gunboats of less than 1,000 tons, which did not greatly improve the naval strength of the traverser, and among the five repaired warships, the battleship Brandenburg exceeded 10,000 tons, the ironclad ship Saxony was also close to 8ooo tons, the Orlando and the Lufthansa were all over 5ooo tons, and only the tonnage of the Akashi was smaller, only 27oo tons, but it was also a cruiser, much stronger than a destroyer or a shallow gunboat.

In fact, the destroyers or shallow gunboats captured by the traversers were mainly used to train naval crews, and during this period of time, more than 16oo naval officers were trained for the KPA Navy, so these 5 warships were repaired, and the KPA also had enough personnel to use them.

Although the addition of these five repaired warships has not greatly improved the actual combat capability of the Navy of the Crossing Group, it is still a modern warship that really fights a naval battle, and the role of these five warships can also be regarded as a tiger with wings, because this makes the Crossing Group Navy much more room for maneuver. If one or two modern warships are taken as the core, supplemented by these five repaired warships to form a fleet, so that the radar and computer of modern warships can provide shooting elements for these five repaired warships, which can greatly increase their combat effectiveness for the Brandenburg and Saxony with 28o mm caliber guns, and these five repaired warships can provide escort for modern warships, and if necessary, they can also be used as meat pads, and even perform more dangerous tasks, so the role of the two sides working together is naturally much stronger than a single ship type. After the other salvage warships are repaired, the size of the KPA's navy will be considerable.

In this operation, Xiao Jianjun also decided to use the radar of the Yueyang ship to guide the main guns of the Brandenburg and Saxony to strike at the Russian army with the Changbaishan and Yueyang ships as the core, and when necessary, to use the radar of the Yueyang ship to guide the main guns of the Brandenburg and Saxony to strike at the Russian army, and at the same time, it is also to let the naval crews of the People's Army increase their trial and combat experience, and after the other salvage warships are repaired, with this group of ships as the backbone, a large-scale navy will be established as soon as possible.

As for the location of Deng 6, Xiao Jianjun has to personally go to investigate, and it will also be determined according to the deployment of the Russian army's troops in front of Shanhaiguan.
