Mu Han's statement shocked everyone in the audience. Oh, yes! There's so much more that can happen in the space of a month! The British have a lot of troops in the Middle East, and it won't take much time for them to send troops to support Jin Shuren! And the biggest variable is still the Russians.

Although the events in Moscow and Brest were not leaked, many of those present did not understand what was going on! But everyone knows very well in their hearts that these two things must be the revenge taken secretly by the commander-in-chief who lost face at the wedding! And the Dragon Guard has always regarded the Russians as the biggest threat! From the military deployment of the Dragon Guard, it can be clearly seen that Mu Han's strategic intention is to rush to the east and the north! It can be said that the Dragon Guard and the Russians have formed a mortal enmity.

Now if Jin Shuren is really forced to be in a hurry, he may really bring in the Russians who are already close to him, and he will be the second Wu Sangui! At that time, the Dragon Guard Army will be attacked from the east, north, and west, and the situation faced by the entire Z country will really be in danger of extinction! Therefore, the first war in Xinjiang is really a quick victory, and it is necessary to form an established fact and end the fighting in an all-round way before Britain and Soviet Russia interfere and react.

But if you want to take the whole of Xinjiang in three days, it's too difficult! Everyone present, except for Sun Liren, everyone beat the drum in their hearts!

Everyone's reaction, Mu Han saw it. Looking at Sun Liren, who was eager to try, Mu Han cast an encouraging look at him.

"Commander-in-chief! Fumin is willing to lead the troops to level Xinjiang within three days! Seeing Mu Han's eyes, Sun Liren finally stood up.

"What?" Seeing Sun Li's request for battle, all the high-level generals, including Chen Qi, Wu Peifu, Ye Ting, Zhao Yu, Sun Feng, Qiao Fei, Guan Yue and others, were a little surprised, except for Li Yuri, deputy chief of general staff, of course. They didn't think that the young general who had been poached by the commander-in-chief himself was anything extraordinary.

In fact, when the Dragon Guard Army was reorganized last time, many high-ranking officials of the Dragon Guard Army had some opinions on Mu Han's direct appointment of Sun Liren as the commander of the First Mechanized Army of the Dragon Guard Army. When the First Mechanized Army was being prepared, Mu Han tilted a large number of knowledgeable young officers, new tanks, and armored fighting vehicles to the First Mechanized Army. When the First Mechanized Army, which was equipped with 800 tanks, 500 armored vehicles and a large number of mobile firepower weapons, was officially established, many generals were all enthusiastic, and in their opinion, with these weapons and equipment, the Dragon Guard Army could completely expand by five heavy divisions.

"Can Commander Sun be sure to take the entire Xinjiang within three days?" Mu Han asked with a smile.

Sun Liren straightened out his thoughts again and said firmly: "Commander-in-chief! Ladies and gentlemen! As I just said, I can wipe out Xinjiang in three days, and that means with the strength of my First Mechanized Army alone, but I don't dare to ensure that there are any omissions and escape remnants! If there is the cooperation of the Air Force and the Fourth Group Army, and the people dare to issue a military order, Xinjiang will be completely occupied within three days! ”

"Buzz!" After Sun Liren finished speaking, the other people in the audience immediately began to discuss, some doubted, some thoughtful, and some confused.

And Mu Han and Li Yuri, deputy chief of the general staff of the Long Wei Army, both looked like old gods, hugging their shoulders and nodding frequently!

"Good! Commander Sun, I will leave the task of attacking Xinjiang to you! You don't have to report any battle plan, this battle, I'll give you what you want! I only look at the results, and in three days, I hope that the whole of Xinjiang will be completely under the control of the Longwei army, and will not provoke any reaction from Britain and the Soviet Union. You know what I mean! Now you give the order! Except for the troops of the Eastern Front and the troops of the Northern Front, you can control all the other forces of the Dragon Guard! Mu Han said decisively.

"Yes! Commander-in-chief, all the robes, then the people will be presumptuous! Seeing Mu Han supporting himself so much, Sun Liren was even more confident.

"Commander Gao! I request that all transport planes, bombers, and some fighters of the Air Force be called! Sun Liren said first.

"No problem!" Gao Zhihang, commander of the Longwei Air Force, made a statement on the spot.

"Good! Commander Gao, the soldiers are fast! Tonight, the 1st Airborne Division and a special operations squadron will be dispatched to the outskirts of Urumqi before dawn tomorrow, and all resistance forces will be quickly swept away! At the same time, no matter how hard it is to work hard for all the transport planes of the Air Force brothers overnight, one of my armored regiments will be airborne outside Urumqi! At the same time, when our troops launch an attack tomorrow, we hope that all bombers, attack planes, and fighters will cooperate in the operation, and closely monitor the reaction of the British, especially the Soviet and Russian troops, and if there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, we will be directly attacked, and no foreign enemy will be allowed to step into Xinjiang. Sun Liren said categorically.

"Commander Guan, I hope that the Fourth Group will mobilize all the cars, transport your troops to follow behind our troops, and every time you occupy a place, your troops will be responsible for guarding and quickly collecting the local troops, so as to prevent future troubles! If it were possible, we could end all the battles tomorrow and all that was left would be to take the territory! Sun Liren continued!

"Bang Bang!" Mu Han and Li Yuri stood up and applauded almost at the same time.

At this time, the other generals also reacted. It turns out that Sun Liren's plan is an enhanced version of the decapitation operation!

"Commander Sun! It's really time for Guan to continue studying! It turns out that the battle can still be fought like this! Guan Yue said with emotion.

In fact, Commander Sun's strategy vividly illustrates the theory of blitzkrieg and large-depth operations. Blitzkrieg makes full use of the quick advantage of aircraft and tanks to defeat the enemy by surprise attack. Relying on the rapid assault of the tank group, as well as the aerial firepower of the aircraft and the high-speed cooperation of the deep airborne landing and parachute landing, a powerful assault arrow was formed to decapitate the enemy's strategic center and key areas, and the follow-up troops followed up in time. The essence of the theory of large-depth warfare is to suppress the enemy's entire defensive depth at the same time with anti-personnel weapons, and to break through its tactical position in the selected direction. Then, the echelons responsible for expanding the results of the battle, including tanks, motorized infantry, etc., are engaged in engagement, and quickly develop tactical victories into campaign victories in order to achieve the intended goals as soon as possible. The theory of great depth holds that in order to successfully carry out a campaign in great depth, it is necessary to solve two major tasks: first, to bombard the enemy's entire tactical depth at the same time with infantry, tanks, artillery, and aviation to destroy the enemy's defenses; Second, with the rapid actions of the rapid forces and airborne forces and the assault of the aviation, the tactical victory was developed into a campaign victory. In order to achieve a breakthrough, it is necessary to concentrate superior forces and weapons in the main direction of the assault, allocate troops in depth, and establish a powerful shock echelon, an expansion echelon, a reserve force, and an aviation and airborne troops. The main task of the shock echelon is to break through the enemy's defenses, and when a breakthrough is opened, the rapid corps must be quickly thrown into the breakthrough to destroy the enemy's resistance in the entire depth of the campaign, and cooperate with other arms to completely annihilate the enemy. The task of the aviation forces is to seize air supremacy, cover the troops and rear of the front, support the army in breaking through the enemy's defenses and pursuing the enemy in the depth of the campaign, attack the enemy's reserves, ensure the landing of the airborne troops, provide airlift supplies to the army, and carry out aerial reconnaissance. At this time, Li Yuri said slowly.

Mu Han was very satisfied with Li Yuri's explanation, "Just now the deputy chief of the general staff has explained Commander Sun's strategic concept, and now I want to say that in the future, our main opponents will be the Soviet Russians, who already have a primitive foundation and early attempts in the theory of large-depth operations, and the Soviet and Russian military strategists have initially formed a theory of large-depth operations on the basis of summing up the experience of World War I and the civil war. In fact, in the theory of great depth, the breakthrough theory and the pursuit theory are the two most critical components, and at the same time, the counter-assault during defense is also emphasized. In order to quickly break through the enemy's defenses, the attacking side must carry out a series of battles that are interconnected in time and can lead to victory on all fronts. The essence of the theory of continuous campaigns is to consider and prepare for the next campaign in the process of implementing the first campaign, so as to prevent supply interruptions and transportation blockages, to achieve continuity in combat operations, and not to give the enemy time to change his deployment and organize the battle. The success or defeat of consecutive battles mainly depends on whether the logistics can keep up, and I hope you will study it carefully. Now I order the military commanders at and above the division level of all group armies to observe the whole Xinjiang campaign and personally write their experiences and battle summaries! ”

"Yes!" All the generals present stood up respectfully and saluted.

At dawn on January 10, 1933, the 1st Airborne Division and an armored regiment of the Longwei Army, which had been airborne to the periphery of Urumqi overnight, were all deployed in place. They have successfully dealt with a regiment that Jin Shuren deployed outside Urumqi.

At this time, a special operations squadron personally led by Jiang Haiyun, commander of the First Special Operations Brigade of the Dragon Guard, also successfully penetrated the city of Urumqi and secretly lurked outside the Xinjiang Provincial Government compound where Jin Shuren was located.

When the First Armored Division of the First Mechanized Army, which had marched from Jiayuguan in Gan Province to Hami in Xinjiang last night, was ready for battle, Sun Liren gave an order, "Fire!" "The battles in Hami and Urumqi started at the same time.

Before the Xinjiang defenders of Hami and Urumqi could understand what was going on, they were blinded by countless ferocious tank fire, and after several rounds of volleys, there were already advancing tanks driving into the two cities. Almost at the same time, the military targets in both cities were hit by fire from the air, and aerial bombs were ready to hit their respective targets.

It was destined to be a one-sided battle. Although the defenders of Xinjiang knew that the Long Guards were coming, Jin Shuren thought that it would be a week later at the earliest! He didn't expect that overnight, the Dragon Guard Army had already approached the city.

Under the rapid tank fire and aerial bombardment, the defenders of Urumqi and Hami completely disarmed before they had time to make any response. When have they ever seen such a battle? There was a bang in the sky, a bomb on the ground, and without any anti-aircraft weapons and anti-tank weapons, they could only surrender obediently!

And when the battle began, Jiang Haiyun, the commander of the First Special Operations Brigade of the Dragon Guard, personally led a special operations squadron to immediately enter the Xinjiang Provincial Government and capture alive Jin Shuren, who was scratching his head, on the spot! Faced with the cold muzzle, Jin Shuren had to give in. He had no choice but to order all troops in Xinjiang to fully accept the reorganization of the Long Wei Army.

At the same time, under the special instructions of Mu Han, the foreign forces in Urumqi and Hami were quickly controlled, and no specific information was sent from them.

Three days later, in the face of torrents of steel and all kinds of planes hovering above from time to time, other generals in Xinjiang who had any ideas had to put away their plans to resist and escape. Hit, have you ever fought so many tanks and armored fighting vehicles? Run, have you ever run a plane staring at the sky? As a result, the Long Wei Army completely occupied the entire territory of Xinjiang with zero casualties.

In fact, apart from some high-ranking generals and Jin Shuren's confidants, the grassroots officers and men in Xinjiang have no intention of resisting at all, and they have long longed for the Longwei Army, which has good welfare benefits and excellent weapons and equipment. When the Longwei Army occupied Xinjiang, the overwhelming majority of the officers and men at the grassroots level happily accepted the reorganization of the Longwei Army. After eliminating the old, weak, sick, disabled, and misbehavers, a total of 50,000 Xinjiang officers and soldiers joined the command of the Long Wei Army.

However, Mu Han pondered for a moment as to who to send to guard the military geographical location of Xinjiang, which is bordered by Soviet Russia in the north and the Middle East in the west. The older generation of generals in Wolong Mountain have already been settled, and besides, they are a little stiff in their strategic thinking and not very outstanding in military concepts, so they are simply unable to shoulder the heavy task of resisting Soviet Russia. There are quite a few young generals, but it is not easy for Mu Han to determine who will be promoted to guard such an area of land, after all, Xinjiang is too large, accounting for more than one-sixth of the country's total land area. Xinjiang is located in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, with a land border of more than 6,000 kilometers, bordering Soviet Russia, the Middle East and other places. At the same time, there are 47 ethnic groups in Xinjiang, including Uygur, Kazakh, Hui, Mongolian, Kyrgyz, Xibe, Tajik, Uzbek, Manchu, Daur, Tatar, and Russian. Commanding Xinjiang must have an extraordinary strategic vision and a sense of the overall situation.

Mu Han thought about it and couldn't find a suitable candidate from the Long Wei Army. In desperation, Mu Han had no choice but to go to Xinjiang in person. In order to completely control all parts of Xinjiang and guard against Soviet Russia, the existing military forces in Xinjiang are seriously insufficient. Mu Han recruited 200,000 troops from the militia reserves of the entire provinces of the anti-Japanese government in the northwest, transferred one battalion of troops from each division of the Longwei Army, and then transferred two classes of young officers from the Longshan Military Academy who had not yet graduated, and formed the 250,000-strong Western Corps of the Longwei Army with the old and the new. In order to increase the mobile force and air offensive and defensive capabilities, Mu Han also announced the establishment of the Second Mechanized Army of the Dragon Guard Army and the Second Army of the Air Force. But even so, it was clear to Mu Han that the Western Corps was still not enough to fight the huge Soviet Russia. As a result, Mu Han had no choice but to take the route of high-end weapons of elite soldiers, and secretly equip the Western Corps with a number of strategic weapons such as new weapons of the Longwei army's military industry, armed helicopters, new rocket artillery, and self-propelled artillery. After doing this, Mu Han transferred all the instructors of the Longshan Military Academy to carry out large-scale training and strengthening activities in the entire western corps. But in this way, the Dragon Guard's originally abundant talent and weapon reserves are somewhat stretched. Just in case, Mu Han had no choice but to order the Longshan Military Academy to continue to expand the scale of recruitment, and all military enterprises to start work 24 hours a day to increase production capacity
