Chapter 1594 is confusing

Beijing, Xiaonanhai, South China High Command. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After listening to Yang Fei, deputy chief of the general staff, on the analysis of the military movements of the enemy and us in the Central Asian Theater, An Yi looked carefully at the map again, thought about it for a while, and then said to the generals beside him with a smile:

"I have to say that Kulik, the marshal's commanding ability, is extremely limited, and before he found our main force, he hastily led the troops south to fight only by subjective assumptions, leaving us with a vast belly, and if we don't make good use of it, we are really ashamed of the generosity of this marshal comrade."

There was a chuckle in the war room, and Yang Fei shook his head after laughing: "It may also be the result of Su Buzhong's urging." The current situation is very unfavorable to the Soviets, on the Eastern Front, although the Japanese army broke through the Breming Pass, advanced the battle line to the line of the Breya River, and faced the Far Eastern Army across the river, less than 200 kilometers away from Hailan Pao in the west, but in the Far East and Eastern Siberia, there are mountains and rivers that are dangerous, and it is too difficult for the Japanese army to break through in a short period of time and then affect the overall war situation.

On the other hand, on the Western Front, where the Far Eastern Army was offensive, the main operational cluster under the command of Marshal Yegorov had already broken through to Glazov, and the commander of the Soviet Army, Timoshenko, had to give the order to relocate the command headquarters again. In these more than 10 days of fighting, the two sides fought to the death, fighting from the sky to the ground, from the front to the rear, and it can be said that they fought everywhere.

"Surprisingly, the Soviet Air Force's performance in air combat was very remarkable, although it was completely inferior in terms of performance and numbers, but the bombers of the Red Army always carried out uninterrupted attacks on the ground targets of the Far Eastern Army in the scale of dozens or even hundreds, and the range of strikes included not only the front-line troops of the Far Eastern Army, but also airfields and industrial targets in depth. According to the statistics of the Far Eastern side, from 22 June to today, the Soviet Air Force has carried out more than 1,000 sorties against Netva, Kamusk, and Krasno, which are occupied by the Far Eastern Army. At the cost of four aircraft, the Soviet Red Army destroyed more than six thousand tons of oil reserves in the region. At the same time, the Soviet long-range bombing aviation was attacked by the rear of the Far Eastern Army, the Kazakh coalfield in Cuba, the iron and steel mines in Serov, the copper mines and metal smelters in Kirovgrad, and so on.

However, the tenacity of the Soviet Red Army air force did not help them in the frontal battle, and the two major battles on the south bank of the Obua River and the north bank of the Checha River ended in the victory of the Far Eastern Army. In both battles, the Red Army had almost 50% more troops than the other side, but the Far Eastern Army had equipment and tactical superiority, especially air supremacy on the frontal battlefield. Marshal Egorov resolutely implemented his concept of large-depth operations, using high-speed motorized units to carry out rapid assaults, using the air force to cover his tank units to launch a rapid attack, cutting off the Soviet army's lines of communication and communication links, and causing the Soviet troops to fight on their own, fall into a complete passivity, and encircle and annihilate them.

"After two major battles with more than two million men, Timoshenko lost almost all his heavy weapons and equipment, and his troops began to be at a disadvantage, and there were not many cards to play, and the next battles would become more and more difficult. I think it is precisely because of the bad situation on the frontal battlefield that Kulik has to take risks without knowing the enemy's situation, otherwise he will be greeted with a sad end! ”

An Yi smiled slightly: "This time, the Caspian Flotilla of the Soviet Navy did not take any air defense measures, and rashly attacked our Krasnovsk Bay, in a vain attempt to occupy the east coast of the Caspian Sea by carrying out landing operations, and to make the situation in Central Asia clearer."

"I don't want our air force to blow him up, the Soviets' Caspian flotilla will be finished, seven destroyers, twenty-one gunboats, more than a hundred supply and transport planes were sunk or heavily damaged, two destroyers, eleven gunboats, eighty-seven transport and auxiliary ships surrendered, although we tried our best to rescue, but the three divisions of the Red Army were reimbursed by almost one-third, and the rest were obediently put into prisoner of war camps. No one would believe that there was no Stalin behind this failed operation. ”

Chief of Operations Shen Ziling said: "The Caspian Sea Fleet of the Soviets is gone, should we transfer two of the four divisions asked by Tang to join Li Jinlong's department?" The front army under the command of Li Jinlong will next put on the posture of the main force, and the Tashkent area will fight with Kulik's main army, and at the same time have to deal with the attack of the Soviet army's southern front corps in the eastern Andijan area in the south, and their strength may be a little tight! ”

An Yi waved his hand: "It's not two divisions, but three divisions!" Now that the Caspian Sea Fleet of the Soviets is gone, it will take at least a month to mobilize ships from the so-called Red Sea (Black Sea) in the Soviets' mouth to the Caspian Sea, and it will take at least a month to form combat strength. With five flying regiments between Guryev and Krasnovsk, plus local armed police units and militia reserve units drawn from the liberated Kazakh, Turkmen, Uyghur and other ethnic groups, we have almost no loopholes in our defense.

"It's also sad to say that the Soviets ruled Central Asia for nearly two decades, but they never really won the hearts and minds of the people. The Soviet Union's proud industrialization was built on the basis of sacrificing the interests of farmers and herdsmen, and in a short period of more than 10 years, millions of people starved to death, and it also boasted that it was the savior of the people of the world. ”

Intelligence Minister Liu Qing said: "According to the information provided by the Far East, the Soviet army has massacred the people twice in the Almaty and Shymkent regions due to grain grabbing, and the impact on the Soviet army is very great. We don't have any direct evidence at the moment, but if a picture can leak out, our work will be much better! ”

An Yi's eyes flickered, and after thinking about it, he immediately pulled Liu Qing aside and gave him a whisper. Liu Qing's face was happy, and he strode out of the war room.

Yang Fei knew that An Yi had a bad idea again, so he smiled and didn't ask, but pointed to the map and explained to the staff officers:

"This campaign will gradually draw Soviet troops from Central Asia to the Tashkent region, and then all the way south, crossing the Syr Darya River, so that it will leave us a vast hinterland. At this time, Ye Chengqun, who had retreated north to the Kalatau mountain area, decisively moved south, penetrating Ares and Tashkent, and then blocking the Soviet army on the south bank of the Syr Dary. At that time, the electronic countermeasures brigade of our General Staff will be assigned to Ye Chengqun to interfere with the radio communication of the Soviet troops.

After the success of this strategy, Ye Chengqun left one group to block the attack, and the rest of the troops quickly went east, attacked Talas Mountain, recovered Jamble, Melke, and Frunze in one fell swoop, and joined forces with Xiao Wu's army in the Chu River area. In the meantime, the main force of Li Jinlong's group withdrew westward to the Latau Mountains in the northeast of Samarkand to rest, leaving four or five divisions in the Leninabad area, disguised as the main force, and continued to attract Soviet troops to attack from west to east.

"If the previous strategy can be successful, when Ye Cheng and Xiao Wuqun go south, it will be the time for the main cluster of the Soviet army in Central Asia to be destroyed. When the time comes, our three main forces will attack Almaty, and the war in Central Asia will be certain! ”

An Yi's expression was solemn: "The four to five divisions in the encirclement have to withstand the rotational attacks of more than half a million troops, and the western front also has the southern front corps of the Soviet army attacking from east to west, so the selection of troops is very crucial." If they can't resist and let the two Soviet armies join forces, not only will the main cluster of Li Jinlong's corps not be able to rest, but the enemy will be demoralized and pounce on the western front again. The General Staff should pay more attention to this. ”

Yang Fei had just finished recording An Yi's request, and An Yi said again:

"However, we have several favorable factors in this battle, because of the existence of air supremacy, we have a clear grasp of the whereabouts of the Soviet army, and the Soviet army can only mobilize troops through the mouth of the locals or simply through subjective analysis and judgment without any basis. Even if our army is in an encirclement, as long as the security of the airport is ensured, we can continuously transport strategic materials through airplanes and airships, and our sustained combat capability will not be greatly affected. We will also test several types of weapons in this campaign, including missile systems, even if the Soviet commander is closely protected, can he avoid a super sniper from 350 kilometers away? ”

Cheng Shiming, deputy director of the Operations Department of the General Staff Department, thought for a moment and suggested: "In the early days, it was better not to use missiles to directly bomb the command center of the Soviet army, and Kulik's existence actually seriously weakened the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army.

"According to the information provided by the Far East, Kulik has always maintained a cold attitude towards the development and application of weapons, and has also shown indifference to the testing and application of weapons. Some of his military claims seem simply incredible, such as his advocacy of better artillery or horse-drawn artillery; Tanks should not be used centrally, dispersed to battalion and company-level units, etc., such a person is a treasure, we are afraid that he will have a cold or a cold or something or give up the command, how can we kill him first and release the Soviet army? ”

An Yi laughed, pointed at Cheng Shiming and said: "I have never seen you so damaging to our ultra-long-range sniper targets, it doesn't necessarily have to be the operational headquarters, such as artillery positions, oil depots, arsenals, etc., all of which are strategic targets." Anyway, we have air supremacy, we can see every move of the Soviet army clearly, I have the initiative, I can fight whatever I want! ”

Cheng Shiming smiled, scratched his head, and said with some doubts: "I always think that Stalin's plan is more than this, there must be a follow-up move, but I can't think of him where to exert his strength." Could it be that Stalin really trusted Zhukov so much, thinking that he could turn things around with the ability of one person? Stalin's eyes on people, from Kulik, we can vaguely know that Stalin is not afraid of incompetence and the involvement of the three armies? ”

An Yi felt a chill in his heart, and a look of hesitation suddenly appeared on his face. Judging from the information he has obtained, Zhukov's previous experience in commanding operations can be described as lackluster, from serving as a cavalry regiment commander to a cavalry commander, and then directly promoted to the position of commander of a military region due to the influence of the Great Purge.

If he hadn't vaguely remembered that Zhukov was a great military strategist and commander of the Soviet Union in World War II, it is estimated that from the trajectory of his growth, An Yi would not have too much good impression of this person, and only thought that he was the same as Kulik, a villain who relied on a whisker to pat his horse.

So, the question arises, what will be Stalin's next move? Will there be a conspiracy against An Jiajun?
