As soon as Gao Yang's words fell, General Wang Geng stood up and said loudly, "Commander-in-chief." We are fighting in the Far East, what if the polar bears send troops in the northwest? We don't have much strength over there. ”

"Hmm." Gao Yang nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "You're right, it's not if, but they will definitely send troops in the northwest." Only, don't worry about that. In the northwest, there are either deserts and Gobi deserts or mountains and hills, and there are no roads at all, so logistics and supply are extremely difficult. Polar bears don't have a strong mechanized delivery capability or the ability to resupply them in the air on a large scale. ”

He took a sip of his teacup, and then said, "Without strong logistical supplies, they can't invest much troops in that place in the northwest. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the people are fierce. If there are fewer people, it will be given for nothing, and if there are more people, it will not be replenished. They can't make any waves. When the first phase of the operation is over, the troops will sweep all the way to the west, and they will withdraw themselves without us fighting. ”

"Sir, the scale of this operation is very large, and the material consumption is even more difficult to calculate. In terms of logistics and supply, I wonder if I can keep up? China's current production capacity," Major General Zhang Zhonglin, chief of staff of the Sixth Division, got up and asked.

Major General Zhang Zhonglin's words were filled with deep concern. National strength is the foundation of war, and everyone knows what strength their country has.

Military operations of this scale, and the main forces are mechanized, armored, motorized operations. In addition, the support of the main fleet of the Navy, the follow-up of a large number of air force fighters, long-distance air supplies, and so on. Just thinking about it makes your scalp tingle.

Once the logistics and supplies can't keep up, it will immediately stop the flame. The form on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and if something happens, if there is a mistake in this combat unit, which has gathered the essence of the entire country's military strength, the consequences are really unimaginable.

Gao Yang understood what he meant, smiled, and leaned back in his chair. Pull out a cigarette. Ignite. After exhaling the thick smoke ring, he looked at Zhang Zhonglin and said softly, "The bread will be there." ”

Since Gao Yang forcibly retracted the final route, General Bryucher moved his command from Khabarovsk to Boli.

As a seasoned and experienced front-line commander, General Bruegher had in mind that the enemy forces on the opposite side were about to launch a large-scale offensive operation in the Far East.

In addition to strengthening the defenses, mobilizing the militia, and asking for reinforcements from his superiors, General Bryuhel paid more attention to intelligence reconnaissance.

Although the enemy on the other side, with the help of those traitors of White Russia, has a very strong counterintelligence capability. But polar bears have been operating in the Northeast for a long time. Such a large-scale military operation can still obtain some useful information.

After a comprehensive analysis of the information obtained from various sources, General Brühl concluded that the enemy would attack in two months at the latest.

It has to be said that General Brueghel is indeed very talented in military affairs. His judgment was correct, and Gao Yang's staff's original plan was to launch an attack two months later.

At this moment, General Brucher, who was studying the map with a pipe in his office, was thinking about a piece of information that had just been sent in the morning.

"Last night, the inner line unearthed by one of the enemy troops on the opposite side quietly sneaked through the line of defense and surrendered to our troops. The junior officer reported to us that his unit had received an order to move into the pre-planned starting position for the attack by three o'clock tomorrow morning. The informant said the enemy would attack in the early hours of tomorrow morning. "This is an urgent telegram from the Ussuriysk outpost of the front.

"It shouldn't be." General Bryuhel frowned tightly. muttered to himself, "At this time, in this weather condition, how can you launch an attack when you are not ready?" Is it a trap to lure me? Or normal pre-war exercises? ”

His chief of staff, Ubolevich, who had just been transferred from the Ukrainian Military District, picked up the telegram on the table. He whispered, "Can you judge the accuracy of this information?" "Ubolevich is a square-shaped man with a serious face, which at first glance gives a very serious feeling.

General Bryukhel turned to his chief of staff and said in a deep voice, "It's hard to judge. ”

Stand next to the window. Looking at the busy scenery of the city outside, he said in a deep voice, "From common sense, it is impossible for the enemy army on the opposite side to be in the current weather conditions. and a large-scale offensive with inadequate pre-war preparations. However, it is also possible that this information is true. ”

"I think that regardless of whether the intelligence is true or not, it would be good to order the troops directly to enter the defensive positions. If there is no attack tomorrow, then shoot the spy. If the enemy does attack, then we can prepare in advance. Ubolevich shook the telegram in his hand and said in a deep voice.

General Bryuhel shook his head slightly and said, "In the period before you came, there had been a low-intensity exchange of fire on the front line. Most of them were skirmishes of mutual shelling, as well as exchanges of fire when reconnaissance units infiltrated each other. ”

Holding the pipe in his hand, he looked at his chief of staff and continued, "Every time we lose. The artillery superiority of the enemy on the opposite side is very obvious! They will even launch a massive covering shot at our troops who have entered the defensive positions! On two occasions before, when the front-line troops were alerted to enter the forward positions, the enemy would cover the positions with massive artillery bombardment, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. ”

"Huh?!" Ubolevich shouted in surprise and said, "This is a declaration of war!" For what not to fight back! "He doesn't understand why he doesn't fight back against the enemy when it's all fought like this?

General Bryukhel shook his head slightly and said, "Moscow will not allow it." The superiors also pinned their hopes on peace negotiations, and they did not want to go to war with the madman on the other side. What we need now is a recuperation and the development of industry! Moscow's order was that as long as the opposite side did not attack, then no counterattack would be allowed. ”

Ubolevich was stunned, he never expected such a result. Reaching out and pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, he said in a deep voice, "Then we are beaten for nothing?" If the infantry can't move, then why shouldn't our artillery fight back? ”

Hearing the words of the chief of staff, General Brucher shook his head with a wry smile, and said with bitterness in his words, "I can't beat it!" ”

After sighing, he continued, "It's not that I haven't beaten it, but I can't beat it." Neither the quantity nor the quality can be compared with others, and at the beginning, when they encountered an attack, the artillery immediately counterattacked. However, after only a week, the artillery units deployed at the front line were reduced by half! How can this be fought? I can only order the artillery not to open fire under any circumstances unless the enemy launches an attack on all fronts. ”

Ubolevich took off his glasses, wiped them with a silk cloth in his hand, and whispered, "I really didn't expect the situation here to be so bad." Vasily, our prospects are not good. ”

"yes." Bryuhel sighed and said, "I now have to think about and analyze even the troops into the position, for fear that this is another trap laid by the enemy. I can't let the lads trade their lives for steel. ”

"And what do you think of this information?" Ubolevich put away the silk cloth, put his glasses back on, looked seriously at his commander and asked.

"Intelligence from Nei Ying, who is still working on the railway line over there, shows that the enemy's war materiel is not fully in place. The amount of antifreeze gun oil and cotton felt blankets for winter operations is also insufficient. In addition, some time ago, a large number of enemy soldiers returned to the interior by train to take vacation. General Brühel did not directly answer the chief of staff's question, but spoke of the information he had received earlier.

"Pre-war leave?" Ubolevich frowned, and immediately discerned important information.

"Yes. In my opinion, the time for the enemy to attack is only after the return of the enemy's soldiers on leave. As for this intelligence. General Brucher picked up the telegram and shook it, saying, "It is quite possible that it is a trap." It is possible that this inner man will be discovered, and the enemy, wanting to maximize his interests, will make him pretend to surrender, deceive our trust, and send his troops to the position. And then another artillery cover! ”

"It doesn't feel like it's that simple." Ubolevich frowned slightly and said in a low voice.

"Then let the front-line troops strengthen their vigilance and pay attention to the movements of the enemy." Brühel said in a deep voice.

"Hmm." Ubolevich nodded, read the telegram again, and said in a deep voice, "Then let's do it first." ”

Neither of them mentioned the traitor, as if he had never been there.

At about eleven o'clock that night, Bryuher, who was still working on documents in his office, received another piece of information from the front.

"The sound of a large number of vehicle engines on the enemy positions on the opposite side was heard, among which there were also the sound of tank engines!"

General Brucher stared at the telegram in front of him, and his brain began to think rapidly. "Is it really about to be launched, or is it just another carefully disguised hoax?" The general was entangled.

After a long time, General Bryuhel picked up the phone. "The front-line troops were ordered to strengthen their vigilance and send alert troops to the outpost positions. Keep an eye on enemy movements. ”

More than two hours later, at 2:20 a.m. the next day. In Fengtian City, the atmosphere in the front-line headquarters of the Northern Campaign gradually became tense. All eyes were on Gao Yang's office. Ten minutes remained, and the last time frame for reversing the offensive operation was approaching.

The door to Gao Yang's office was closed, and no new orders came out. Ten minutes later, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Now, there is no one left to stop this war.

In the northern capital, the plenipotentiary envoy of the polar bear is still doing his best efforts. Every day, he would visit Duan Zhengzhi, and Mr. Envoy, who he never saw every time, was secretly invited to a villa in the suburbs by a mysterious person close to him that night.

Mr. Plenipotentiary did not leave the villa in the suburbs until about three o'clock in the morning, and the driver drove all the way to the back seat of the car, and Mr. Envoy, who was about to drip water, lowered his voice. "Hurry up and !!"

The muffled car engine roared, and the driver had already stepped on the accelerator to the bottom! Mr. Plenipotentiary Envoy is no longer patient, and every minute of delay is now a crime! (To be continued......)
