After the reorganization of the Nationalist Government, the total strength of the North China Front reached nearly one million. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Among the million-strong army, the troops of the 1st and 3rd Group Armies of the Northeast Frontier Army, which were originally stationed in Pingjin and the five northwestern provinces, were mainly left-behind troops.

It was composed of the Jin Sui Army and the Shandong Army from Shanxi, as well as some of the Sichuan Army and Guangdong Army transferred from South China.

Due to the time constraints, Zhang Xinghan has not yet been able to put into action the reform of the production level of various domestic arsenals.

Therefore, in addition to the million-strong army of the original Northeast Army, the equipment level of the remaining three or four million national troops has not changed much from before.

&[email protected]/* */Novel; In other words, among the nearly one million troops of the North China Front that Zhang Lingfu was able to mobilize this time, only the remaining troops of the 1st and 3rd Group Armies of the former Northeast Frontier Army were equipped with tank and armored vehicles.

The total strength is about 100,000 people, four or five tank regiments plus a tank division, and the total number of tanks is about 700 vehicles.

In the eyes of Zhang Lingfu and even the top brass of the entire North China Front Army, a tank armored unit of this scale is absolutely a strategic assault force capable of crushing everything.

Zhang Lingfu, who commanded a large corps for the first time, was secretly excited to be able to command an armored group of tanks close to the front and nearly a million army forces.

It's just that he has an introverted personality and hides the excitement that these young people should have.

…………

While Zhang Lingfu was mobilizing all the tank and armor forces, in the vast desert sea, the Soviet troops who had quietly gathered from Ulaanbaatar in Outer Mongolia to Saiyin Shanda finally began their extremely adventurous strategic raid.

As Zhang Xinghan had predicted, the Soviets did choose the main line of attack at the junction of Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia.

Others, such as the Manchuria direction and the Vladivostok direction, were all feints to attract the attention of the Chinese army and cooperate with the main force in this major surprise attack.

It is worth mentioning that this time the Soviet army was very different from the previous two times in terms of size and determination.

After the fiasco of the first two battles in the Far East, it was not only the SDL that was extremely angry, but also the last border conflict just after the end of the war. The Far Eastern Military District was ordered to accumulate strength and prepare for the next retaliatory war.

The generals of the Soviet Army in the Far Eastern Military District are also actively preparing for war with a sense of revenge.

After more than two years of deliberate preparations, and the absolute support of the SDL, the Far Eastern Military District finally took the steps of this historic and shameful battle.

This time, in order not to repeat the old mistakes of the previous two wars, the Soviet army has gathered more than 800,000 troops in terms of troops.

Among them, the number of air force fighters exceeded 1,200, and the most terrifying were the ground artillery and armored units of the Soviets.

According to incomplete statistics, the Soviet army mobilized more than 10,000 artillery pieces of more than 100 mm caliber this time, even if it was 500,000 troops. The scale and number of such artillery configurations are also extremely terrifying.

What's more, this is only large-caliber heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters, and there are also a large number of various light and heavy mortars, mountain artillery, field artillery, and howitzers below.

In terms of armored forces, the Soviets mobilized seven armored divisions and five armored brigades.

There are more than 2,500 tanks and armored vehicles, more than three times the total number of the Chinese army.

A considerable number of these tanks were the first to be developed by the Soviets of the new T-34 tank.

This historical World War II Centan was only officially commissioned in 1940. Because of the appearance of Zhang Xinghan, the Soviet army was defeated in two battles in Northeast Asia, and it appeared four years ahead of schedule.

It is also because the main reason for the defeat of the first two battles is that the tanks of the Northeast Frontier Army of Zhongguo are more advanced and numerous.

The number of production of tank fighting vehicles in the USSR was significantly increased.

Because of the battle plan. This time, the Soviet army used most of the tanks and all the newly produced T-34/76 tanks on the route of the assault on Inner Mongolia.

The total number of Soviet tanks and armored vehicles participating in this assault exceeded two thousand.

In the vast sea of death, as far as the eye can see, there is a vast desert, and a huge convoy of 2,000 tanks and combat vehicles and more than 2,000 military trucks has brought up sand and dust in this barren desert.

Whenever a strong wind blows. The desert was full of flying sand and rocks, and some Soviet soldiers only wrapped their faces in military coats to avoid the wild sand.

Heavy tanks and fighting vehicles crushed the sand into deep marks. But as they roared forward, they were re-obscured by the dust of the howling wind.

Everything was back to normal, and if it weren't for the huge convoy that hadn't gone far, it would have been as if nothing had happened here at all.

In this raid, the Soviets used 2,000 tanks and combat vehicles plus two mechanized infantry divisions, with a total strength of nearly 40,000 troops.

………………

After about two days, more than 700 No. 4 tanks and armored vehicles finally arrived in Zhangjiakou.

At the same time, Zhang Xinghan also transferred 500 fighters from the Northeast and the Central Plains Theater to strengthen Zhang Lingfu's combat strength.

In view of the experience of fighting the Soviet army in the first two times, Zhang Xinghan transferred 300 of the 500 fighters he transferred were the big killers of tank and combat vehicles, the Stuka dive bomber.

The other 200 were Zero fighters with excellent performance in the Sino-Japanese battlefield.

With such a powerful air power as the backing, Zhang Lingfu has more confidence in his heart.

In Zhangjiakou, an emergency military meeting was being held in the headquarters of the provisional former enemy, attended by senior officers of all tank and armored units and air force units in this service.

Zhang Lingfu was dressed in a military uniform, standing at the top of the conference table energetically, and his eyes swept over the officers attending the meeting like a knife.

He said: "Colleagues, according to reliable information, the Soviets have once again mobilized heavy troops to the border with our country, and the ambition of the wolf son is clearly revealed.

Here, Lingfu hopes that you can put aside all personal grievances and work together with me to defeat the enemy! ”

The senior officers attending the meeting also admired Zhang Lingfu very much, so they stepped forward and said: "We will strictly obey the military orders of Commander-in-Chief Zhang, but if there is a dispatch, we will go to the soup and go to the fire, and we will not give up!" ”

"Good." Zhang Lingfu praised it arrogantly, and changed his words: "To tell you the truth, the reason why you are so urgently summoned to the meeting is because Lingfu has a good battle plan and wants to announce it to everyone. ”

Everyone looked at each other in amazement when they heard this, and Zhang Lingfu said with an unchanged face: "This plan is that I have decided to lead all the tanks and armored units of our army to take the initiative to attack, enter the Sea of Death, and seek to defeat the Soviet army in the vast desert." ”

As soon as he said this, the faces of everyone present changed greatly, and one of the major generals of the tank division said worriedly: "Sir, now we haven't even figured out the enemy's true advance route and intentions.

Isn't it too dangerous to rush into action? ”

"What Division Commander Liu said is reasonable, since Lao Maozi dares to provoke a war again, then the troops gathered this time will never be in a small number, and before the enemy situation is unknown, should we still rely on strong troops to hold on as the best policy?" Another colonel also chimed in.

Zhang Lingfu turned around and came to the map, pointed to the map and said to everyone: "First of all, I have sent a large number of reconnaissance planes to fly into the sky over the Sea of Death to search for the enemy's traces, and I believe that news will come soon."

In addition, I have mobilized 300,000 troops into Xinjiang.

Previously, Commander-in-Chief Zhang had instructed in a telegram that the enemy's advance routes this time were likely to be these two, and if it was in Xinjiang, then our first batch of 300,000 troops would be able to support our follow-up reinforcements into Xinjiang.

Moreover, according to my analysis, the possibility that the Soviets chose to attack from Xinjiang is very small, and the reason is simple, that is, the advantages of all heavy equipment such as tanks, armored forces, heavy artillery, etc., of the Soviet army are subject to the terrain and cannot be brought into play.

Otherwise, they are much more likely to cross the Sea of Death for a long run.

As the saying goes, the best defense is offense.

Sticking to the country and waiting for the enemy to fight is tantamount to giving the initiative in the war to the enemy.

The enemy can concentrate his forces and attack our line at will, so as to carry out a breakthrough on all fronts.

If we can take the initiative to attack, we can not only avoid this unfavorable situation, but also take the Soviets by surprise.

Defeat them in the field and keep them out of the country! ”

Looking at the map and listening to Zhang Lingfu's analysis, everyone nodded in unison, obviously agreeing with his point of view.

Seeing this, Zhang Lingfu walked back to the conference table and continued: "You are all the talents of my Chinese pillars, the ancients, raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, and now that the strong enemy is invading, it is time for our soldiers to come forward and defend the country."

This time I took the initiative to attack, and I hope that all my colleagues can have the ambition to serve the country with loyalty, fight hard for the country and the nation, defeat strong enemies, and promote the prestige of our country! ”

Everyone stood up and said in unison: "Please rest assured Commander-in-Chief Zhang, the lowly rank is determined to fight to the death with the Soviet army, not to break the enemy's capture, and to swear not to return to the division!" ”

"Good." Zhang Lingfu said loudly: "In this case, everyone hurry back and gather the troops, we will set off immediately, and the troops will be sent to the sea of death!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, and immediately turned around and left.

"Xiaofu, immediately report our battle plan to Chairman Zhang." After everyone left, Zhang Lingfu instructed the adjutant.

Zhang Xiaofu immediately bowed his head and answered yes, and then took the order.

Zhang Lingfu looked back at the blue sky and white sun hanging on the map, and his eyes showed a resolute look.
