The KGB of the Soviet Union continuously provided the Soviet High Command with all kinds of information about the squadron obtained from Liu Liankun, and this information gave the Soviet military a "bottom" in their hearts. The main battle faction in the Presidium of the CPSU Central Committee was like a stimulant, and a group of soldiers of the main war faction headed by Malinovsky, executive deputy minister of the Soviet Ministry of Defense and commander-in-chief of the army, turned the meeting of the Presidium of the CPSU Central Committee to discuss whether or not to accept the latest proposal put forward by the Chinese side on the peaceful settlement of the Sino-Soviet border issue into a lecture meeting in which they frantically launched a war. They overestimated their own strength, underestimated the determination and will of the Chinese people to recover their territory, and China's ability to fight war.

Under the clamor of Malinovsky and others, China's most fair and reasonable solution to the territorial issue between China and the Soviet Union was rejected by a show of hands by the members of the Presidium of the CPSU Central Committee.

When the Soviet delegation informed the Chinese delegation of the news that the Presidium of the CPSU Central Committee had rejected the proposal put forward by the Chinese side to settle the territorial issue between China and the Soviet Union, Li Dawei, head of the Chinese delegation, held that there was no need to continue the talks on the border negotiations between China and the Soviet Union, and that this arrogant polar bear really thought that he was invincible in the world if he did not teach the Soviet Union enough lessons.

However, the central authorities instructed that in order to show that China has always adhered to the attitude of peacefully settling the border issue between China and the Soviet Union, it must adopt a more positive attitude, make minor revisions to our proposals, and show the sincerity of our country's political axe and the people's peace and friendship, and continue to talk with the Soviet delegation.

Li Dawei and Mao Anying, of course, knew the mystery here; in addition to the routine "" of expressing friendship and peace sincerity with the Soviet delegation, they also actively traveled among the embassies of various countries to propagate China's peaceful propositions and invited the ambassadors of various socialist countries to be lobbyists. It shows that China respects the position of the leader of the Soviet Union in the socialist camp, and hopes that they will fully understand China's good intentions and friendly attitude toward the peaceful settlement of the border issue between China and the Soviet Union

In January 1959, in order to better ensure that in the border war between China and the Soviet Union, all combat units could have timely, accurate and strict confidential contact and efficient information communication and command. Provide effective data commands for UAVs and submarines, strengthen the ability to monitor the communication systems of the Soviet side. At the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, another military communications satellite equipped with anti-jamming facilities and special communications capabilities -- "Shentong-6" was launched.

Subsequently, two military reconnaissance satellites of the "Divine Eye" series equipped with optical and electrical remote sensors and radio receivers were successively launched at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. Collect relevant information on ground, sea and air targets from orbit and carry out uninterrupted reconnaissance, surveillance and tracking of global targets. A huge asymmetric war advantage of the Chinese People's Liberation Army over the Soviet Army was formed.

On 16 January 1959, Chinese Defense Minister Peng Dehuai convened a high-level military conference in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, attended by cadres at and above the military level from four military regions, the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region, the Lanzhou Military Region, the Yanjing Military Region, and the Shenyang Military Region.

At the meeting, Deng Feng gave an explanation of the Soviet Union's overall military strength in Asia, saying: The total strength of the Soviet army in Asia is about 1.27 million, with more than 14,300 tanks and 4,200 aircraft. Among them, the Soviet Army in Asia has 59 divisions, about 675,000 people. In the eastern part of the Sino-Soviet border, the Far Eastern Military District has 3 army groups and 1 infantry corps, a total of 18 motorized infantry divisions, 1 tank division and 2 airborne assault divisions, the headquarters of which is located in Khabarovsk, that is, our Boli; 3 army groups of the Trans-Baikal Military District, with a total of 10 motorized infantry divisions and 3 tank divisions, with headquarters in Chita; The five motorized infantry divisions of the Siberian Military District, headquartered in Novosibirsk, have recently been transferred from Europe to Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude, and Chita to one motorized infantry division and two tank divisions. The Soviet army is in the western part of the Sino-Soviet border, with 8 motorized infantry divisions and 1 tank division of the Central Asian Military District, with its headquarters in Almaty. The Turkestan Military District has 5 motorized infantry divisions, 1 tank division and 1 airborne division, with headquarters in Tashkent.

In addition, the Soviet Union deployed 6 air force armies and 2 transport aviation divisions in Asia, and their main combat units were: the 1st Far East Air Group Army, the 23rd Air Force Group, the Novosibirsk Air Group Army, the Almaty Air Group Army, the 6th Air Force Group Army, the 8th Reading Force Heavy Bomber Aviation Army, and 2 transport aviation divisions, with about 2,600 aircraft of various types, including about 2,100 combat aircraft. In addition, the Soviet Union also has three air defense forces stationed in Asia, namely: the 11th Reading Air Defense Army, the 14th Reading Air Defense Army, and the Tashkent Reading Air Defense Army, with 1,100 combat aircraft, 6,000 antiaircraft guns, and 1,100 radars, with about 171,000 personnel.

The Soviet Pacific Fleet has 431 ships of various types and a displacement of 920,000 tons in Asia, including 132 main combat ships, 406 naval aircraft, and about 130,000 naval personnel, with its headquarters in Vladivostok; The Strategic Rocket Force has 14 intercontinental missiles, 4 intercontinental missile launch bases, 101 intermediate-range missiles, and 21 intermediate-range missile launch bases, with about 80,000 personnel.

In addition, there are about 40,000 people in the headquarters and academies of the Soviet military forces stationed in Asia. In total, the total strength of the Soviet troops stationed in Asia is about 1.27 million, accounting for about 28 percent of the total strength of the Soviet army. The above is the total strength of the Soviet army in Asia.

Now that we have learned about the total strength of the Soviet army, I will now talk about our battle plan against the Soviet Union this time, which is codenamed "Operation Bear Hunting." The overall goal of the campaign is to destroy the three group armies of the Post-Baikal Military District of the Soviet Union, with a total of 10 motorized infantry divisions, three tank divisions, and about 160,000 people, and three group armies and one infantry corp under the jurisdiction of the Soviet Far Eastern Military District, with a total of 18 motorized infantry divisions, one tank division, and one airborne division, 20 divisions, about 240,000 people, of which there is also one motorized infantry division and two tank divisions under the jurisdiction of the Siberian Military District north of Lake Baikal, about 360,000 people; In addition, the Soviet Union recently transferred nearly 40,000 men from three divisions from Europe. In addition, the Soviet Army's six air force armies in Asia, the 8th Reading Heavy Bomber Aviation Corps, two transport aviation divisions, and three air defense armies in Asia have a total of 3,200 combat aircraft.

If we reach the "Bear Hunt Operation". The general goal of the campaign, the Soviet Union lost the capital to bargain with us. We recaptured from the Soviets the area south of the Trans-Khingan Mountains, north of the Heilongjiang River, east of the Ussuri River and west of the Benhai Sea, which they had occupied for nearly 100 years. Regain 1,000,000 square kilometers of territory lost as a result of the Treaties of Aihui and Yanjing, equivalent to the combined size of France and Germany. In addition, we have recovered the area east of Lake Baikal and west of the Mohe River, which they had been deceived by them in 1727 during the Treaty of Brenski.

Peng Dehuai interjected: "At the end of 1949, on the way back from a visit to the Soviet Union, the chairman was in high spirits along the way, but when he arrived at Lake Baikal, his mood changed abruptly, and when he arrived at the capital of the Soviet Union of the Buryat Mongol Autonomous Republic was that Ulan-Ude, the Soviets held a grand welcome ceremony for him, he refused to participate, and did not even get off the train, and immediately ordered to drive, leaving the local Soviet officials aside." After driving, he asked Chen Boda, who was accompanying him, 'Do you know what this place is?' "Chen replied, 'It's Ulan-Ude.' The chairman's face sank and he said, 'Don't I know Ulan-Ude yet?' I mean, what is this place in history? Remember, it is called Uginsk, it is the territory of China, and it is the place where our Suwu shepherds sheep! ’”

In order to recover China's territories occupied by the Soviet Union and implement Deng Feng's operational intentions, the Far Eastern Work Committee began two years ago to draw up a concrete action plan for the war against the Soviet Union. Due to the appearance of Liu Liankun, a spy, some necessary adjustments were made to the plan, but the general idea of attacking on the eastern front, blocking the attack on the central front, and leading the war on the western front still did not change, but through some false information, some adjustments were made to the deployment of the Soviet army. The deployment of the entire campaign was initially completed at the end of December 1958 and was named "Operation Bear Hunt". The main contents of the plan were: The purpose of the campaign was to restore the general direction of the Sino-Soviet border demarcated by the Nebuchu Treaty, overthrow the 1727 Qing Dynasty political axe that blindly signed the Sino-Russian border demarcation document "Burensky Treaty" without reading the map, and occupy about 500,000 square kilometers of the area east of Lake Baikal and west of the Mohe River, where the Soviet Union had historically shepherded sheep.

In order to facilitate the mechanized operations of our army, the Far East Corps set the time for the implementation of the "bear hunting operation" after the river water was completely frozen and before the thaw in winter. In three to four months, the 36 divisions of the two military districts of the USSR, as well as the Far East Air Force of the USSR and the Pacific Fleet of the USSR, were eliminated.

The whole campaign will begin at the same time, and on the Western Front, there is no rush to recover the 440,000 square kilometers of territory lost in the "Treaty on the Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary," but the border troops of the Xinjiang Provincial Military District will stick to the original Sino-Soviet border and maintain vigilance against the Soviet Army's Siberian Military District and Central Asian Military District. The Soviet Union carried out strategic bombing of the area west of Lake Baikal mainly by the air force, preventing the Soviet army from massing in the area west of Lake Baikal and supporting the Far East. Units of the Tibet Provincial Military Region, which belongs to the Lanzhou Military Region, went to the Tumshuk and Aksu regions of Xinjiang Province as combat reserves for the Xinjiang Provincial Military Region.

At the same time, on the central front, the 5th Army of the Far Eastern Corps, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, set out from Hehan in the Outer Mongolian Prefecture of the Far Eastern Province, occupied Slyudyanka in the Soviet Union, and after succeeding, attacked Irkutsk in the north. The 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division, the 1st Reserve Division of the Xinjiang Provincial Production and Construction Corps then followed up with the attack from Slyudyanka along the Trans-Siberian Railway to the east of Vedrino, and after succeeding, it joined forces with the 1st Army Corps in Ulan-Ude, and the 1st Reserve Division of the Xinjiang Provincial Production and Construction Corps deployed along the Baikal East Siberian Railway to prevent the Soviet army from crossing the western shore of Lake Baikal. The 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division was stationed in Verdrino as a reserve. The cutting off of the Trans-Siberian Railway, the only link between the interior of the Soviet Union and the Far East, will make the Post-Baikal Military District and the Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Union unable to replenish and support the interior of the Soviet Union.

The 1st Army of the Far Eastern Corps was divided into three routes, the 1st Tank Division and the 1st Public Security Division of the Inner Mongolia Armed Police set out from Sukhbaatar and attacked the headquarters of the 9th Mechanized Infantry Division and 4 regiments of the 57th Army of the Red Banner Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Union stationed in Kyakhtu along the former Soviet-Mongolian Railway. After succeeding, he attacked Ulan-Ude; The 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division attacked Red Chikoy eastward along the road, and after succeeding, marched on Shiloko. The 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division, the 2nd Public Security Division of the Inner Mongolia Armed Police, and the 3rd Public Security Division of the Armed Police of the Outer Mongolia Prefecture, which was reorganized from the former Outer Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army, set out from Qiaobal Mountain and advanced to Chita via Bayan-Ula, and the 53rd Division of the Shenyang Military Region set out from Manchuria and attacked along the railway in the direction of Chita.

The 1st Airborne Division served as the reserve of the central line, and the 7th Army, as the strategic reserve of the center, entered the Outer Mongolia Prefecture to take over the defense of the original 1st Army. As the general reserve of the middle line.

The Eastern Theater was the focus of this campaign, and the Soviet Army deployed the largest number of troops, with 260,000 troops in the army alone, and about 500,000 in the navy, air force, and missile units, and the Chinese People's Liberation Army participating in the Eastern Campaign, this time there were the Flying Leopards of the Far Eastern Military Region, the 2nd Group Army of the Shenyang Military Region, the 3rd Group Army of the Yanjing Military Region, the 4th Group Army of the Jinan Military Region, the First Group Army of the Far Eastern Corps Air Force, and the East China Sea Fleet of the Chinese Navy.

The 2nd Group Army of the Shenyang Military Region set out from Heihe and attacked the Soviet Union's Komsomolsk, cutting off the area east of the Ussuri River to the west bank of the Yuebenhai Sea and from Heihe to the south of the Soviet Union's Komsomolsk, that is, the Soviet army below the mouth of China's territory and the Soviet army in the north, and then attacked south along the Heilongjiang River to join the Flying Leopard Commando in Habarsk.

In this area included the headquarters of the Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Army and the command of the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Army. The two commands of the Soviet army, this is a piece of fat.

The 4th Group Army of the Jinan Military Region was divided into 3 routes: the 1st route started from Raohe County and crossed the Ussuri River to attack eastward, occupied Bijin and then attacked north and south along the No. 60 railway, the second route started from Hutou Town in Hulin County and attacked eastward, and after occupying Bidalnekchensk, it attacked north and south along the No. 60 railway, and the third route started from Suifenhe and launched an attack on Shuangchengzi in the east. Cut this piece of fat into three pieces and share it with the 2nd Group Army of the Shenyang Military Region.

The 3rd Army of the Yanjing Military Region, after attacking north from Mohe and occupying Tengda, divided its troops into three routes, one along the Outer Khing'an Mountains to the east, as far as the coast of Okhotsk, and the other along the Trans-Siberian Railway to Komsomolsk, sweeping away the Soviet army south of the Outer Khing'an Mountains and north of the Heilongjiang River and the local power of the Soviet Union, and joining forces with the 2nd Group Army; The 3rd route, as a reserve at Tengda, was used as a guard against the Soviet Union to the north.
