Chapter 308: Chen Shao's Thoughts
The radio communications between Zhukov and Stalin could not be concealed from the Chinese electronic intelligence departments at all, and the communications between the Soviet Union were an open door to the Chinese side, which had already mastered the secret codes of the other side.
In less than ten minutes, the contents of the correspondence between Zhukov and Stalin were deciphered and placed directly in front of Su Yusheng. After reading it, the latter chuckled and said, "Send it to the Hanjing Command Center immediately." Then I added in my heart: My debut is coming to an end, Zhukov, I look forward to seeing you on the battlefield next time.
Although Su Yusheng thought so in his heart, he knew that the war was over. It's just that he doesn't need to ask about everything in person, and he should give the people below a chance to play. Just give them the general direction, since the Soviet Union is determined to hold on, then it can only use this to train troops. Give the soldiers a little more chance to fight.
"Ask the tank cluster, is the overhaul complete?" Su Yusheng said.
Although the Chinese tank cluster defeated the Soviet tank cluster, its own losses were not small, after all, the Soviet Union had a large numerical advantage. Dozens of Chinese tigers are lying in the nest, and there are nearly 100 Chinese leopards in the back, and even some Chinese leopards have been destroyed, after all, compared to the strong defense of Chinese tigers, Chinese leopards are much weaker. If you are hit continuously, you will still be destroyed.
A minute later, the signal corpsman replied: "The tank cluster claims that it is still under maintenance at this time, and except for a small number of tanks that can participate in the battle again, the other tanks need extensive overhaul." ”
"Tell them to gather the tanks that can be used and rush to the third line of defense immediately, and at the same time order the infantry fighting vehicles and Humvee regiments behind to also rush to the third line of defense at once and move in unison at night. Take down the third line of defense and make it our forward defensive position. ”
In the command center of the Ministry of National Defense in Hanjing, Chen Shao and others were sitting in the command center listening to the latest results ahead. Although China also lost some tanks, the result was quite perfect. More than 1,000 tanks of the Soviet Union have been wiped out, which also proves that China's tank technology is still very advanced at the moment.
Especially for Chen Shao, he knows very well what the T-34 means, although the names of the Chinese tiger and the Chinese leopard sound very similar to the German tiger and leopard, but many things in it are different from the tiger and leopard of later generations. One is the exterior styling, and the other is the overall data, which is much worse. There was such a result, which did not surprise Chen Shao. What's more, the T-34 in the USSR at this time was still the initial 76, not the 85 type, so it is not surprising that there were such results. The thin-skinned T-26 is to add honor to the Chinese tank forces, and there is nothing to be desired.
This war is not just a battle of honor on the border, after victory, the value inside is immeasurable. Only Chen Shao knows this, and the others only know one of them. A tank that has been used for more than ten years can already be eliminated. This is Chen Shao's most direct idea, but he also doesn't want to destroy all the tanks for no reason. In this tank battle, Chen Shao plans to do a propaganda campaign for his tanks and strive to sell all the tanks.
And the buyer, Chen Shao already has the answer in his heart, the Axis countries, Germany will definitely buy, there is no doubt about this. Chen Shao also wants to do business to Italy, and Japan can also want to, but he will not sell it to Japan now. As for other countries, if they want to buy as much as possible, he will not refuse to come.
The advantages of the Chinese tiger and the Chinese leopard are getting smaller and smaller, and if you don't take the opportunity to sell them for more money, they will only turn into a pile of scrap metal in the future. In addition, these two tanks are not the main station tanks used in World War II in Chen Shao's mind, and they will be eliminated in the next two years, so what will they do if they are not sold?
These are only the interests of the smallest part of this war, Chen Shao's most direct purpose is to plan for the grand strategy in his heart, even if Stalin does not want to provoke such a dispute, he will provoke it. However, with the conflict on the border, coupled with the entry of political workers into Mongolia and the killing of Chinese, Chen Shao made up his mind to make the Soviet Union bleed well.
Stalin wanted to liberate the forces, this is what Chen Shao wants to see the most, and only when Stalin turns his eyes away from China can it conform to the grand strategy in Chen Shao's heart. He has been planning this grand strategy for a long, long time, whether it is Germany's Andriy or Japan's Junshan Yi, as well as countless spies around the world, they are all important chess pieces of Chen Shao. The whole world is a big chessboard, and Chen Shao just wants to control the direction of the chess game and move towards his ideal goal.
Just as the four of them were talking about the latest military developments in the world in the command center, a telegram from Su Yusheng also came to them. Chen Shao was the first to read the long telegram, which contained a detailed conversation between Stalin and Zhukov.
After reading it, Chen Shao just smiled in his heart, and did not speak directly, but handed the telegram to Jiang Baili and said, "You all take a look, and tell me your opinions after reading it." ”
After the three of them finished circulating, Jiang Baili, who was the first to see the telegram, took the lead in speaking: "Stalin doesn't want to fight, and Zhukov is the same." The war can basically be said to be over. ”
"Defensive? Are their shields as powerful as our spears? The Kyakhta military fortress is just a joke for us, and no matter how powerful the military fortress is, it will not be able to stop our attack. Cai Ye said with confidence. In his mind, as long as the Maginot Line in France is a real military fortress, a military base like Kyakhta can also be called a fortress, which is really ridiculous. What's more, he is also very confident that even if the Maginot Line is in front of the Chinese army, it will also become a pile of ruins.
"Their idea is very good, but our department needs to go to the other side's military base, and even the weakest defense line may bury the lives of soldiers. Since the Soviet Union dared to call Kyakhta a military fortress, it naturally had their reasons. Coupled with the approaching cold winter in the north, there is no need to hold on to this war any longer. Chen Fuqin thought for a while and said.
"Whether this war will continue or not, it is still too early to say whether it is war or peace. Moreover, Stalin also provided a lot of assistance to Zhukov, and in this case, we cannot let our guard down until the end of the war. Chen Shao said.
"Does Your Majesty mean to occupy the whole of Kyakhta?" Chen Fuqin asked. He also paid attention to Stalin's support for Zhukov, but he did not care. In the face of such a large-scale war, that bit of weaponry is simply a drop in the bucket and will not play much role.
"No, Kyakhta, as you said, after all, the Soviets have been in business for so many years, and now if they want to take it all, we will suffer more or less unnecessary losses. It doesn't help our strategy, I don't do such thankless things. But we can't make it easy for the Soviets, at least take the outer line of defense in Kyakhta. And show a posture of all-out offensive to strengthen our military pressure. Chen Shao said.
"I understand that His Majesty is trying to force Stalin to stand at the negotiating table in Kyakhta. For the sake of the safety of the Far Eastern Railway, Stalin would never abandon Kyakhta, which was indeed Stalin's weakness. Chen Fuqin said.
Jiang Baili and Cai Yi also nodded, and when Chen Shao said this, they also understood. As the strongest defense force of the Soviet Union in Siberia, this military fortress built by the Soviets has always been an important link in the defense of the Far Eastern Railway from being stopped and broken. Without this military fortress, Stalin probably wouldn't have been able to sleep, and he would always worry about whether this lifeline in the Far East would be suddenly cut off by China. After all, the Far Eastern Railway is only a few hundred kilometers away from the Sino-Soviet and Mongolian borders, and it only takes half a day to arrive.
This threat was like a sharp blade hovering over Stalin's head, not knowing when it would fall. And Kyakhta is an iron hat that guards Stalin's head, so that he does not worry too much about the blade on his head suddenly falling. If the iron hat was gone, the blade would have been driven down and straight into the head.
"That's it, Stalin wanted us to take the initiative to negotiate peace, but we didn't do it, he wanted to take the initiative, and I didn't let him get his way. The initiative is now in our hands, and it is vain to rely on a military base that is not yet a quasi-fortress, and to grasp the initiative, he Stalin thought too beautifully! Chen Shao said.
"In this case, we have to act as soon as possible, where the weather is changing at any time, if the cold comes earlier, it is very likely that the Soviets will succeed." Jiang Baili said. With goals in mind, it's much easier to make decisions.
"Well, send a report to Su Yusheng and tell him the results we just discussed." Chen Shao thought for a while and then spoke: "Now that the Soviets have lost their anti-aircraft firepower, it is time for the bomber to appear." If the visibility is not good, then low-altitude bombing, the effect will be much better. Ask the meteorological department how the weather is going in the border areas these days. ”
As soon as Chen Shao's voice fell, Chen Fuqin spoke: "In the next few days, the weather in the border areas of Mongolia will not change on a large scale, and low-altitude bombing can be carried out. However, the weather may become worse in the future, and the air force will be useless at that time. ”
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can be dispatched in the next few days, when the bad weather comes, it is estimated that Su Yusheng has finished his work." Chen Shao said: "But I also have to send a report to the Air Force, telling them that the Soviets also have an Air Force, so they can't be careless, and it is best to destroy all the Soviet Air Force airfields in the Soviet Union first." And then to bomb the Soviet ground defense forces. ”
The decision of the command center soon appeared in the hands of the command department of the air force of the Mongolian Military Region, as well as in the hands of Su Yusheng. Seeing the telegram, Su Yusheng smiled lightly, the same as he thought, and he was already doing it. However, Su Yusheng did not expect to send bombers to destroy Soviet airfields. If all the airfields of the USSR had been destroyed, the war would have been much simpler. Now the Soviet Union only has the Air Force that still threatens him, and the rest is not enough.
