"Since the planes can participate in the war tomorrow, how are the surrounding airfields prepared?" Chen Shaodao.

The Mongolian Military District is adjacent to the Soviet Far Eastern Railway, which is only a few hundred kilometers from the border. As the main means of striking in modern military warfare, Mongolia has the third largest air force in China. The first is the Northeast, the second is Hanjing, and the next is the Mongolian Military Region.

From this point, it can also be seen that Chen Shao has scruples about polar bears, and the million-strong army and huge air force have vividly reflected this scruples.

Everyone understands that eggs can't be put in one basket. Unlike the Army, the Air Force Base is very scattered, and now there is a unified deployment mechanism, which makes it possible for various airfields to conduct joint operations. Air Force joint operations do not mean acting together, and there are many aspects involved. The main thing is whether the airports can be perfectly combined, act together and cooperate closely. In addition, it is also necessary to cooperate with the army in operations to form an air-ground integrated strike system. This is the basic requirement of joint operations.

"The airfields of the Mongolian Military District are already being prepared, clearing snow and inspecting aircraft. Just now, Li Zongren, commander of the Mongolian Military Region, sent a telegram asking for instructions on whether to allow fighter planes to set off at night to support Su Yusheng's general attack. I haven't replied to that yet. Jiang Baili said.

"Don't worry, now the countries of the world are not the slightest bit away from the research of night combat aircraft, and there is no need for us to stimulate them to speed up the development of aircraft." It's only 1938 now, and Chen Shao doesn't want to reveal his family background. Night combat aircraft equipped with airborne radars appeared only in the late stages of World War II, and now that World War II has not yet begun, there is no hurry.

In fact, Chen Shao was also quite helpless in his heart, he was very aware of the scientific and technological potential of all countries in the world, and now history has changed beyond recognition, and even the weapons and equipment of various countries have made great progress compared with later generations. The butterfly effect doesn't work for some things, but it works for many. With China's military strength spurring on, the military science and technology of all countries in the world have developed rapidly. Although Chen Shao was already mentally prepared in this regard, it still made him feel helpless. Helplessness means that history has gradually escaped his control, and his advantages are gradually shrinking.

When the three of them heard this, they all nodded. Chen Fuqin thought for a long time, and then said to Chen Shao: "Your Majesty, when will the new tank come out, the army has been waiting for more than ten years. ”

"Are there not enough Chinese tigers and Chinese leopards now?" Chen Shao asked rhetorically.

"These two tanks are very advanced and qualified as our main battle tanks, but many of them are improved and not much more advanced than the previous tanks. Moreover, Germany is also equipped with a large number of tanks, and we do not have much advantage over the German army. Even against the current main battle tanks of the Soviet Union, the advantage has been gradually reduced. Chen Fuqin agrees with Chen Shao's words, and he also knows very well that the tanks produced over the years are very advanced and are all improved, but no matter how much they are improved, they can't change much performance. As the Minister of the Army, it is understandable that he cares about the Army's main battle equipment.

Chen Shao shook his head and said, "You guys should be content!" New tanks are available and are already in production, but it will take some time before they are officially fully equipped in the troops. This battle is not in time. ”

He was very satisfied with the ability of the generals under his command to lead the troops, but he was a little depressed that they kept asking about new equipment. It takes a considerable period of time for an advanced piece of weaponry to go from development to production to installation in the troops. In addition, if you want to speed up research and development, it is not just a matter of talking, it involves all aspects.

Moreover, the weapons and equipment that the Chinese army is now equipped with can be regarded as very advanced in World War II. Chen Shao is not eager to develop new equipment, and the development of science and technology should be gradual, whether it should be fast, and whether it should be slow, it should be slow. It's too fast to avoid some problems, after all, there is nothing to learn from right now.

And deep down in Chen Shao's heart, there is another thought. That is the Red Police Base, and he believes that since the Red Police Base has a weapon page, it will definitely not be an ornament. He wanted to see the scene of Red Alert weapons dominating the world. Therefore, there is less urgency for China to develop and produce weapons and equipment on its own. Laying a good foundation, step by step, and establishing a complete scientific research system is the most important goal of China.

"Oh, how long will it take?" Chen Fuqin heard that there was already a new type of tank, so he hurriedly spoke.

"What are you in a hurry, you will naturally know when the time comes." Seeing Chen Fuqin's anxious look, Chen Shao didn't answer directly, and losing their appetite could be regarded as a reward for their constant inquiry.

Belch! Chen Fuqin saw that Chen Shao focused on the map after speaking, and did not directly say the answer he wanted to know. can only shrug his shoulders, he doesn't dare to pester Chen Shao anymore, he can only like what Chen Shao said, he will know when the time comes.

Jiang Baili and Cai Yi felt quite amused when they heard this question and answer. They are also quite concerned about the research and production of weapons, after all, it is related to the combat effectiveness of the army. But they didn't ask from time to time, like everyone else. There are some things they know a little bit about, and they have a bottom in their hearts.

Chen Shao, who looked at the map, thought for a while and said: "Many new weapons and equipment are already on the test site, and it is only a matter of time before the troops are equipped. And you can't always keep your eyes on it, in the face of more and more advanced equipment, the requirements for soldiers are getting higher and higher. No matter how advanced weapons and equipment are, there must be soldiers who can use them, and war is not a test of whether the weapons are advanced or not, but a test of the ability of soldiers. A strong army is not only reflected in weapons and equipment. I want you all to always remember this, and I don't want to say it a second time. ”

"Yes." Hearing Chen Shao's words, the three of them all stood upright.

The picture changed and came to Kyakhta.

After receiving Zhukov's orders, the real Soviet war machine was in motion. In particular, the Soviet heavy artillery clusters, with the help of trucks, were transported to the rear of the fourth line of defense by night.

This place is only less than seven kilometers from the Chinese border, and it was intended to be used to place heavy artillery clusters, and it was only transported to the rear because it was too close before. Now the artillery is being shipped back, and for all reasons. Zhukov did not spare his hands and pulled all the heavy artillery here at once, two thousand heavy guns, not a single gun with a caliber of less than 122mm. This was the strongest artillery force of the Soviet Union in the Far East, and in order to inflict heavy losses on the Chinese army at one time, Zhukov had no reservations.

Two thousand heavy artillery salvos, which Zhukov was sure would never disappoint him. At that time, all the military forces that China has placed on its borders will be completely destroyed. And Zhukov also focused the artillery bombardment on the so-called main barracks of China, and also on the so-called artillery positions. The primary artillery bombardment site was China's so-called artillery position, and he thought very well: as long as the Chinese artillery position was decided, the Chinese army would not be able to make much of a wave in a short period of time.

As for the Chinese army, which was still confronting the second line of defense and the Soviet soldiers, Zhukov did not pay attention to it. One is sesame seeds, the other is watermelon, and he knows how to choose. When the watermelon is solved, it's not too late to pull out your hand to solve the sesame seeds.

When they were about to start shelling the Chinese army, the Soviet artillerymen cheered. This morning I saw the Chinese artillery in full swing, and the heavy artillery continued to explode around their comrades. As an artilleryman, it has already made them all hold back their anger. If it weren't for the order, they would all want to teach the Chinese artillery a good lesson, so that the Chinese short man can see the power of Soviet artillery.

Two thousand heavy guns, all Soviet artillery did not doubt the power of firing together. On the contrary, they are quite looking forward to it, when carrying heavy artillery and building artillery positions. They all flashed pictures of iron and blood in their minds, and in everyone's opinion, as long as the heavy artillery sounded, the entire territory of China would be plunged into a sea of fire. At that time, the cries of Chinese soldiers will be heard in China, and heavy artillery will destroy their will to fight.

With the fantasy in his mind, all the Soviet artillerymen did things very hard and with great motivation. There was no need for those officers to urge them, and all preparations were done quickly.

Zhukov's order was not only to order the artillery units to move forward, the armored division also received Zhukov's order, and at the same time as the artillery was moving, more than 1,000 tanks of the Soviet army also moved to the border by night. Prepare for the order to charge into the territory of China, and become the vanguard of the invasion of China.

It's just that they don't know it, and they don't notice it. When they deployed their troops, they had already fallen into the eyes of others. The night can't stop China's new equipment, and the invention of night vision devices has made them have nothing to hide.

When the Soviet artillery had just arrived at the intended artillery position, it had already been discovered by the Chinese special forces hidden a few kilometers away, and the night vision binoculars were always watching them. Their every move was exposed to the eyes of the Chinese special forces.

"There are really a lot of these Soviet artillerymen, at least 20,000 or 30,000, and I really want to see what they look like when the time comes."

The special forces with binoculars are hidden in the woods, and the whole person is often in the trees, and the camouflage and equipment on his body are white, which mixes well with the snow on the trees. Not to mention at night, even during the day, it is difficult for those Soviet patrols to find out that there is a person hiding in the tree.

Moreover, the special forces have a very good hiding technique, and they move very gently in the trees to prevent the snow from falling off the trees and exposing themselves. If this hiding place were replaced by special forces who are accustomed to operating in the south, it may be difficult to do so perfectly. But for these special forces, who often deal with snow, this is only a basic requirement.

"Dig hard and enjoy the last days of labor!" The special forces were talking to themselves.

Then he took out a small walkie-talkie from the trunk of the tree and transmitted the information here to the territory of China. It turned out that the trunk of the tree had been hollowed out and used to store the equipment that was used with it.
