Chapter 1545 against the famous handsome

"The enemy was very cunning, and two cavalry corps went out of the border along the Irtysh River from Chenghua in Xinjiang (present-day Altai region of Xinjiang), sneaked in the valley south of the city of Zaisan and continued westward, and then in the mountains of the Karbao Mountains between the two divisions of our Tenth Army, day and night, sneaked all the way to the west of Ust-Kamen, and took advantage of the darkness to launch a surprise attack on us.

Hu Jiyang looked serious: "According to the confession of the prisoner, the commander of the Soviet army is called Chuikov, who has twice been to China and participated in the Eastern Railway War under the command of Marshal Blyukher, and was selected to study in the crash course of the Red Army Mechanization and Motorization Academy the year before last, and after the purge last year, he was strangely promoted, promoted from battalion commander to brigade commander, and suddenly jumped from brigade commander to major general of the Fifth Infantry Army, and then promoted to commander of the Bobruisk cluster of the Belarusian Special Military District, at the beginning of this year, He was transferred from Belarus to the Central Asian Military District as commander of the group army stationed in China, and was responsible for commanding the Soviet troops in Xinjiang and the western Kazakh region. In this battle, he also sent a demolition detachment on six wooden boats to float down the Irtysh River and blast our bridges. But they did not expect that we had long expected that the Soviets might make such a crooked move, and stopped three iron cables on the Irtysh River, and their flat boats collided, and one by one they were in a hurry, and they actually detonated the explosives in a daze. ”

An Yi nodded: "As I expected, otherwise the armored forces would not have come so quickly, and your defense measures are good." ”

Standing up and walking back and forth a few steps, An Yi said again: "This Chuikov, but a strong enemy, can see the many loopholes in our defense line, good at taking advantage of it, if it weren't for our firepower is strong enough, it really makes them right, once Ust-Kamen's western passage is successfully cut off by their cavalry, and the bridge is blown up again, the Soviet army can quickly gather superior forces, eat our remaining two divisions on the west bank of the Irtysh River, and then take Semipaldinsk, and the entire Central Asian war situation will undergo major changes." By the way, have you found out the movement of that cavalry? ”

Liu Yu reported: "According to the reconnaissance plane's reconnaissance, the Soviet cavalry unit quickly moved south along the railway and escaped into the Chenggystau Mountains. The First Group Army of Major General Dong Jinming of our Military Region has been urgently transferred to the west to once again strengthen the defense of the Ust-Kamenn area, and the 11th Group Army of the Northeast Military Region has been ordered to enter Mongolia, and the entire northern part of China and Central Asia will form an integrated linkage to respond to the crisis at any time! ”

An Yi bowed slightly, looked at his watch, stood up and said: "The aftermath and finishing work depends on everyone, I will leave for Guryev now to cheer up the soldiers who are facing the threat of millions of Soviet troops!" Guryev will not only become the center of our oil and gas supply in the future, but also the most important port city in the Caspian region, and later the equipment of the shipyard will arrive in Guryev by air, and we must have a fleet in the Caspian Sea that is not weaker than the Soviets. ”

Hu Jiyang and Liu Yu got up together and personally sent An Yi and his party to the airport.

Sarekomeyi, mechanized cluster of the Western Front in the Central Asian Theater of Operations.

Xiao Wu set up his headquarters on the shore of Lake Balkhash, more than 40 kilometers away from the battlefield in front of him, on the grassland along the lake, and at this moment, while listening to the rumbling cannon sound in front of him, he squatted in front of the large map of Central Asia placed on the ground, holding a pencil and pointing to draw.

It has been three days since he came to Brubaytal, and the commander-in-chief of the Middle Route Army of the Far Eastern Army, General Antonlov, was not too interested in the arrival of the squadron, but only regarded the squadron as a strategic reserve and sent it to the rear to be responsible for the safety of the first-line railway between Brubaital and Sarekomey and Moyingti and Karaganda.

Xiao Wu knew that the Japanese army was sharpening its knives, and that the Far East might start fighting at any time, and that the mechanized cluster of the Far East Army would be transferred eastward at that time, so he was willing to preserve his strength and gladly accepted the task and sent a mechanized infantry brigade to garrison the cities along the railway to maintain the safety of the military station and the railway.

The Democracy Movement Corps and the People's Armed Police Force have already been stationed in major cities along the railway line, and are vigorously launching a land reform campaign to form local political power. The people of Central Asia had an extraordinary desire for land, and when they heard that they could own land entirely of their own and not have to pay public rations and taxes, they were overjoyed, and their loyalty to the new government instantly became full.

At this time, the chief of staff, Colonel Yang Si, walked in quickly, hung his hat on the wall, walked to Ye Cheng's side, and said with a smile: "It's a good fight." The Far Eastern Army deserved to inherit the Soviet artillery's ideas, and used 2,000 cannons in a one-time campaign to launch a fierce bombardment of Chuyili Mountain, which was at least more than two meters high in a few hours. ”

Xiao Wu raised his head: "You still haven't taken it down, right?" ”

Yang Si nodded: "No, several large-scale assaults were launched, but they were all repulsed!" The Soviets behaved very tenaciously, their positions were cleverly constructed, almost all of them were in caves halfway up the mountain, grenades were extremely difficult to hit, and if they fired at close range with cannons, the enemy's artillery hiding in the caves quickly began to suppress, and the artillery of the Far Eastern Army suffered great losses. ”

Xiao Wu threw down his pen, stood up and paced back and forth, thought about it and asked: "Yesterday, Antonlov sent Berzarin to lead two army groups through the Twilight Cloud Desert (now Moinkum Desert) to attack Churaktau (now Karatau City) and Jampur (now Zhambyl City), is there any news coming?" ”

Yang Si was slightly stunned, immediately walked to the telephone, shook the phone of the intelligence department, inquired, put down the microphone and said to Xiao Wudao:

Zhou Wei said that there was no further news from the Far East Army, but our reconnaissance planes had discovered that a major battle had just been fought in the area of the Dusk Cloud Desert, and it was very likely that the Soviets had ambushed an army there and fought with Berzarin's troops. As for who will win or lose, we don't know because of the harsh weather conditions. ”

Xiao Wu's brows furrowed tightly: "The Soviets' iron bucket array is not easy to crack!" From here to the south, all the way is the heart of Central Asia, concentrated in 80% of the population of Central Asia, if we can't take this place before the Japanese invasion, it will be our turn to attack! ”

Yang Si was also full of worries: "The defense system built by the Soviets on the high mountains is a bit like the first battle fought by General Gu and General Xia in Annan. ”

Xiao Wu shook his head: "In that battle, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the Annan Army were not arranged in place, and the enemy in front of him, the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were very reasonable, and the helicopter was not fast, so it was easy to be shot." The problem now is that we must inflict pain on the enemy so that they can mobilize the Soviet troops in Xinjiang and move south to support the operation. You have also seen this morning's battle report, the general Chuikov, who commanded the Soviet army in Xinjiang, is a person who is good at surprise soldiers, and Ust-Kamen, who was heavily protected, was attacked, and even the chairman went to the front line to fight. ”

Yang Si's expression became solemn: "Yes, we must take the defense line of Chuyili Mountain (now Aitao Mountain) and directly threaten the safety of Almaty and Frunze, so that no matter whether the Soviet army of the unified army is willing or not, it will be rushed to the rescue by Moscow, otherwise the capitals of the two union republics will fall, and the political impact will be so bad?" ”

Xiao Wu returned to the map again, squatted down to observe carefully, but found that the position built by the Soviets was exhaustive, and there was no opportunity to take advantage of it.

According to the information fed back from the Far East, 200,000 people from the four Soviet armies were concentrated on this line, and if the 200,000 in Xinjiang were added, the total strength of the Soviet army would be as high as 400,000. If we can't make full use of the strength of the Far Eastern Army to capture this dangerous area, and wait for the Far Eastern Army to retreat, with two mechanized armies plus a total of less than 100,000 troops directly under the army, with one enemy and four enemies, we will be smart and decisively retreat, and wait for the follow-up forces to arrive and form a balance of power before attacking the enemy.

"Report!"

A loud voice rang out outside the door.

"Come in!"

Yang Si greeted.

Chu Bai, the commander of the armored engineer company of the Infantry Brigade of the Second Mechanized Army, walked into the house and saw Xiao Wu and Yang Si looking at the map together, so he knew that he was anxious about the battle in front of him, thought about approaching Xiao Wu's side, and said in a low voice: "I think I have a way to solve the current problem." ”

Xiao Wu and Yang Si raised their heads in surprise, and Xiao Wu hurriedly asked, "Is there any way?" Speak quickly! If it really works, I'll give you a great credit! ”

Chu Bai nodded, came to the map, squatted down, and pointed to the front mountain position of Chu Yili Mountain: "In the past two nights, I took the soldiers and quietly touched the foot of the mountain to carefully check the terrain. I found that the geological structure of the mountain is shale rock, which is relatively loose and has a high risk of collapse if it is subjected to a huge external force. Later, I checked the geology around the mountain and found that the soil was relatively dry. Therefore, we can take advantage of the Soviet offensive to dig several tunnels at the same time from the Gertau mountain that we occupy, all the way to the foot of the opponent's mountain, continue to go deeper, and then put in a huge amount of explosives, and detonate them at the same time, at most in a week, the whole mountain will cease to exist, not to mention the fortifications and soldiers above.

Xiao Wu and Yang Si glanced at each other, and Yang Si asked solemnly, "Are you sure?" ”

Chu Bai said with certainty: "Sure! But before that, it's better to find a geological expert to confirm where the center of gravity of the mountain is, what other structures are in the geological structure besides shale, and what unpredictable consequences will be after blasting, I think that after such a refinement, it will be easy to destroy the enemy's defenses. ”

Xiao Wu paced back and forth a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "Whether it has an effect or not, it is worth trying." Every minute and every second of time is precious to us, and I will immediately call the headquarters and contact the geology and mining experts to come to us. Chief of Staff, you and Company Commander Chu should make a good calculation, immediately come up with a construction plan, and then calculate how much explosives are needed. The sooner this matter is resolved, the better it will be for us. ”

"Yes!"

Company Commander Chu saluted excitedly, and watched Xiao Wu walk out of the room quickly, and immediately summed up with Chief of Staff Yang Si.
