Over the vast desert of death, several Chinese reconnaissance planes are conducting reconnaissance flights in a fan-shaped manner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Suddenly, the pilot of a reconnaissance plane noticed something unusual on its right side and hurriedly flew over there.

It wasn't until it flew closer that the reconnaissance plane was surprised to find that the ground was covered with wild sand and a huge convoy of tanks and combat vehicles, to be precise.

The height of the reconnaissance plane, combined with the almost deafening roar of the dense engine of the ground convoy, made it impossible for the Soviet troops, who were driving boringly, to spot the inconspicuous plane in the sky.

The pilot on the reconnaissance plane briefly wrote down the geographical location, coordinates, and directions in the novel "Pig > Pig Island" and then drove the fighter plane back quietly.

On the dirt road from Zhangjiakou to Ulanqab, Zhang Lingfu had already set off with more than 700 tanks and combat vehicles and a mechanized infantry division.

At this moment, he was sitting in an armored combat vehicle accompanied by Zhang Xiaofu and closed his eyes and took a nap.

Suddenly, the armored car that was driving at full speed suddenly stopped, Zhang Lingfu opened his eyes and glanced at Zhang Xiaofu next to him and asked, "Xiaofu, what's wrong?" ”

Zhang Xiaofu got up and struggled to open the door of the armored car, only to see a communications soldier standing outside the car with a radio station on his back.

When the signal soldier saw the car door open, he hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Commander-in-chief, the latest information from the reconnaissance plane has come that they have found the whereabouts of the Soviet army." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Lingfu looked overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where are they?" Is it the Sea of Death? ”

The communication soldier repeated the coordinates recorded in the telegram, and Zhang Lingfu hurriedly instructed Xiaofu to open the marching and combat map that he carried with him.

I looked on the map for a while. Patting the map, he said: "We are still one hundred and fifty kilometers away, and it seems that we must speed up and get there before the enemy leaves the sea of death." ”

Say this. Zhang Lingfu remembered one more thing and asked, "By the way, what is the scale of their troops?" ”

The communications soldier standing outside the car hurriedly replied: "According to the intelligence from the Air Force, the number of enemy tanks and combat vehicles is no less than 2,000, in addition to thousands of military trucks. ”

Zhang Lingfu's face changed when he heard this, and Zhang Xiaofu next to him involuntarily took a breath of cold air.

"In general, the number of old Maozi's tanks and combat vehicles has reached 2,000. That's three times as much as ours, and with the more than 2,000 military trucks, it can carry at least two mechanized infantry divisions.

The overall strength is several times higher than ours. Zhang Xiaofu said to Zhang Lingfu with some concern.

Zhang Lingfu pondered for a while. He said in a deep voice: "What's the panic, the performance of Lao Maozi's tank combat vehicle is much worse than the overall level of the No. 4 tank equipped by our army."

I had a vivid example of this in the textbook when I was training in Luoyang.

In the two northeast border conflict wars of the 23rd and 24th years of the Republic of China, the Soviet army had more tanks than our army in general, but the result of the war ended in a complete victory for our side. ”

"So. This. We are not as good as them in terms of tanks, but I am sure we will be able to win again and defeat them with fewer victories.

Moreover, Chairman Zhang has also equipped us with more than 500 fighter planes this time, so that we are already in an invincible position. ”

After speaking, Zhang Lingfu looked down at the map and said, "Order the troops." Speed up the march and make sure to reach the border by tomorrow morning. Enter the Sea of Death and launch a surprise attack on the Soviets and take them by surprise. ”

"In addition, the air force fighters in Zhangjiakou and other places will be notified to enter a state of first-class combat readiness, and they will be ready to take off at any time tomorrow morning to assist in the war!"

"Yes." The signal soldier on standby outside the car hurriedly stepped forward to answer, saluted, and then turned and ran away.

………………

Beiping, in the operational conference room of the General Headquarters of the North China Front.

Zhang Xinghan sat upside down on a willow chair, took a Genhardmen cigarette in his mouth, and stared intently at the giant combat map in front of him.

With a frown, he sometimes raised his right hand to draw two strokes on the map, and sometimes grabbed the half-burning cigarette in his mouth and took two puffs.

Let the boiling and spicy smoke tumble in the lobes of the lungs, and enjoy the unusual nicotine stimulation pleasure.

In order to maintain his meditative thoughts in the state of entry, his mind did not turn and flew at high speed, counting all the details and loopholes of this unprecedented scale of the Great Patriotic War.

Although, on the surface, he showed absolute trust in Zhang Lingfu and granted him absolute command.

But Zhang Xinghan didn't know that his decision was a risky attempt to delegate power.

He is not an iron man, let alone an omnipotent superman, and he doesn't want Zhuge Liang to bow down to everything, so he must cultivate the ability of his generals to lead troops alone.

He thought that he would share more military responsibilities in order to facilitate the development of a full-scale war with the European and American powers in the future.

Only in this way can there be more generals and talents who can take charge on the battlefield in the future.

No one is born a military genius, and he will use his troops like a god, and he will use all kinds of tactics and strategic schemes to perfection.

The truly outstanding generals are all transformed and cultivated through countless bloody battles and vicious battles.

It's like a sharpshooter who is fed with countless bullets and the heads of his enemies.

Based on Zhang Lingfu's outstanding personal military command ability, Zhang Xinghan was determined to invest in and train him.

In the hope of cultivating an outstanding military talent like Rommel for the Chinese nation.

However, just in case, Zhang Xinghan still did a complete support work, not only made some adjustments to the overall strategic situation, but also kept abreast of the latest movements of the various units of the North China Front Army under Zhang Lingfu's command and the situation of the enemy and us.

So that if Zhang Lingfu loses anything, he can quickly take over the command and replace him to command the troops to save the situation as much as possible.

Therefore, Zhang Xinghan and Zhang Lingfu learned the news that the Air Force had detected the whereabouts of the Soviet troops at almost the same time.

"Commission, do you think Zhang Lingfu can win this time?" Jiang Baili appeared behind Zhang Xinghan at some point.

Zhang Xinghan threw the cigarette that had only cigarette butts left on the ground, and crushed it with his right foot: "I don't know, there is no 100% victory or defeat in this world, according to the convention, if Zhang Lingfu commands his assault force to carry out a surprise attack on the Soviet army with a conventional way of fighting, and start a frontal encounter."

Even if our army can defeat the enemy army with the advanced performance of the tank, it may be a miserable victory in the end. ”

Jiang Baili nodded and said, "If Zhang Lingfu is good at using the air superiority of our army and cooperating with ground operations, maybe the casualties will be much smaller." ”

"It's hard to say that it is impossible for the Soviet army to dispatch a tank and armored cluster of such a scale without air force cover, and perhaps their reconnaissance planes have already crossed the border to reconnoiter our situation." Zhang Xinghan said thoughtfully: "So, the key is to see how Zhang Lingfu is flexible in this upcoming night." ”

………………

In the sea of death, next to a Soviet-style armored command vehicle that had just stopped, a Soviet communications soldier was reporting to the people in the car with a radio on his back.

"Your Excellency, the Air Force has detected a useful and up-to-date piece of information, and at about four o'clock in the afternoon, a Chinese mechanized armored unit entered the territory of Inner Mongolia.

According to speculation, the Chinese probably predicted our movements in advance. ”

"Order the troops to speed up their advance, the air force to increase reconnaissance efforts, and be sure to closely monitor the latest movements of that Chinese armored force and report it at any time." A majestic and indifferent voice came from inside the car.

The Soviet communications soldier hurriedly saluted: "Yes!" Then he turned and left.

After the signal soldier left, another voice sounded in the car: "General Cliff, if our whereabouts have been exposed, won't our long-distance attack have lost its due effect, the fighter plane has passed, and we still have to march according to the original plan?" ”

The Soviet general, known as Cliff, said: "If the Chinese army really has mastered our whereabouts, then I think their air force should have been hovering and wreaking havoc over our heads, maybe this is just a normal change of guard for the Chinese army."

After all, it is impossible for such a large-scale military movement on our side to hide from the ears and eyes of the Chinese. ”

"Besides, even if they really grasp the whereabouts of our army, then what's the matter, the border between Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia is so long, how can it be so easy for them to stop us?

Taking 10,000 steps back, if we really encounter this battle and this battle is inevitable, then I don't mind teaching these arrogant Chinese a hard lesson with our powerful air force and ground armored forces.

I also tried the power of our latest new tank on them, and the armor-piercing shells fired by its main gun can easily penetrate 80mm of vertical armor at a distance of a thousand meters, and I can't wait. ”

It's clear from Cliff's words that he has high expectations for this powerful new tank, which has been tested with live ammunition.

The adjutant who spoke fell silent and said no more, but an invisible worry always lingered in his heart.

It made him extremely uneasy.

………………

After nightfall, after nearly 10 hours of rapid marching, Zhang Lingfu led more than 20,000 mechanized corps to advance more than 300 kilometers.

Arrive on a plateau less than 35 kilometers from the border between Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia.

The troops paused their advance, and the accompanying baggage troops were refueling all the tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks, and more than 20,000 combat soldiers also took advantage of this rare time to get off the cars and rest.

Zhang Lingfu took the combat map, Zhang Xiaofu held a flashlight on the side to help illuminate it, looked at it for a while, and then said with his eyebrows: "Xiaofu, immediately go and notify the commanders of the tank regiments to come to the meeting." (To be continued......)
