The East Bengal line has attracted the attention of the world, and countless armies of China, Britain, France, and the United States, led by the Western coalition, are frantically moving towards this area, and the navy, land and air forces are all moving.

Many Chinese and foreign military experts have said that this will be a brand-new mode of warfare, and that it will be the first time in the world that both sides will engage in a joint combat duel between the navy, the army, and the air force. The power of this brand-new tactic is enormous, because China used to conduct joint operations with the navy, land and air force, and the Western coalition forces were defeated in Southeast Asia, and in just over a month, the Chinese defense forces cleared out of Southeast Asia like garbage.

The situation became more and more tense as the Xiafei Burmese Front overcame all odds and paid huge casualties along the way, gradually approaching the defense line of the Chinese National Defense Forces in East Bengal.

At the high-level secret meeting of the Military Council of the Kremlin in Moscow, Stalin, Trotsky, Blyukhel and other high-level Soviet and Russian leaders were also paying attention to this upcoming Armageddon, and their concern was no less than that of the Chinese and Western sides participating in the war.

Yagoda wiped his sweat and said: "At most, the Chinese side can quickly assemble the two army groups in Assam by boat, although the ground there has been cleared out of a road, but it has rained heavily, the road has become muddy, and it is difficult for the Chinese Assam troops to reinforce it in a short time." The Western coalition forces will form a local superiority in strength and firepower. That's pretty much the case. ”

Trotsky said in a deep voice: "The Western imperialist fleet has been dispatched in a big way, even risking being attacked by the Chinese air force to enter the periphery of the attack area and stand by, it seems that it is imperative for them to save the Xia Fei front." The main naval forces of the Chinese are also massed in this area, apparently to resist the Western navy. The navies of the West want to strike safely. Then we must fight with the Chinese for air supremacy in this sky. The superiority or inferiority of the air force almost determines the outcome of this war, and our great Soviet must also develop the air force. ”

A series of wars have made the whole world clearly see the importance of the air force in future wars, and the reason why China has been able to achieve a series of great victories is closely related to the scale of China's advanced and huge air force.

Stalin said: "Airplanes and tanks are very important. But what we are discussing now is which side will win this war. ”

Blyukhel said in a deep voice: "It's hard to say at the moment, it mainly depends on the development of the war." If Western imperialism fails to achieve a quick victory, as soon as time drags on, millions of troops from around China will come up with reinforcements. Then the Western coalition is bound to lose. Not to mention the fact that the Chinese captured thousands of artillery pieces from Western imperialism. This has made up for the shortcomings of the Chinese Army, and the heavy weapons of the Chinese Army have since ceased to fall into disadvantage, and even have an advantage for a certain period of time. As an excellent general, he pointed out the key to this war.

Timoshenko looked at Stalin. After a moment's hesitation, he said: "Should we send some troops to Verkhnito Udinsk for a military exercise?" Threaten the northeast direction of China. To a certain extent, the use of China's military power will allow the Chinese and Western imperialism to defeat both sides. ”

Trotsky frowned: "Doing so is likely to anger the Chinese, with the character of Chinese leader Li Bufan." Even if he can't help it for the time being, he will definitely retaliate in the future. ”

Stalin sneered: "There is a huge territorial conflict between China and the Soviet Union, and in the eyes of the Chinese, maybe the whole of Asia is theirs." A Sino-Soviet war was inevitable. Since it is inevitable, then why should we be afraid of offending the Chinese, it is better to take the opportunity to consume China's strength and make our future enemies weaker. ”

Trotsky shook his head and said, "I'm against it." Although China currently has the upper hand, the combined forces of the Western world are incomparably stronger, and given time to Western imperialism, they will gather an unprecedented amount of power. If the Chinese consume too much at this moment, they may not be able to resist the attack of the West in the future, and they will not be able to achieve the goal of losing both. ”

Stalin said lightly: "Who can say clearly what will happen in the future?" If Western imperialism suffers heavy losses in this war, then the Chinese can easily capture India. Once India falls into the hands of the Chinese, it will be too difficult for Western imperialism to counterattack, don't forget that the Middle East is the desert Gobi, and the Western coalition forces want to gather millions of troops in the Middle East to fight back, not to mention that drinking water is a huge problem. If Western imperialism is unable to carry out an effective counteroffensive, then the war may well enter a phase of stalemate, which is not in the interests of our Soviets. ”

Trotsky and Blyukhel looked at each other, sighed softly, and stopped insisting. After all, Stalin is not wrong at this moment, the strong imperialists of the West are a huge pressure on Soviet Russia, and a strong China will also be a huge pressure on Soviet Russia, and Soviet Russia must do everything possible to make them lose both.

Soviet Russia suddenly announced to the world that it was going to launch a military exercise on the scale of three armies in the Verkhniy Udinsk region of Baikal, which shook the world.

At the front-line headquarters in Assam Bondi Bruegle, Li Songshan and Zhang Xiaozhun looked extremely ugly. With such a large territory of Soviet Russia, why is the location of the exercise located in such a sensitive area as Verkhniy Uginsk (Ulan-Ude)? It is clearly to exert military pressure on China.

Li Bufan frowned deeply, and after a long time, he suddenly laughed: "We don't have to pay attention to it." Let's finish this war with all our might. ”

Zhang Xiaozhun said in shock: "Commander-in-chief, those are the three group armies drawn from Europe by Soviet Russia, plus their original garrisons, the strength exceeds us by a lot. Moreover, they are concentrated, but our troops must be dispersed to defend Mongolia, Northeast Asia, and other regions, and in order to fight south, we have almost all the heavy weapons, and if we are attacked, we are likely to suffer heavy losses. ”

Li Bufan sneered and said: "Soviet Russia is just intimidation, they are afraid that the barbarians in the West will be completely annihilated by us and contain us." On top of that, it's only just entering May. ”

Li Songshan and Zhang Xiaozhun were stunned, and then suddenly realized.

In April and May, the snow and ice that had long covered the north melted, and the land became muddy. During this period, the heavy weapons of the northern battles were difficult to move, and the march was extremely difficult. If China's garrison in the north is really not afraid of Soviet Russia's provocation and attack in the absence of heavy weapons, China's infantry light firepower should be at least three times that of Soviet Russia, and even if it cannot defeat the enemy, there is no problem in blocking it for a while.

Li Bufan said with a gloomy face: "Even if it's not May, we will solve the threat of the Western coalition forces first." We have no end to this battle, and it will only take about half a month to end the battle. Even if the worst plan is to let the Xiafei Burmese Front escape, our army is bound to control the area east of the Tibetan South River-Tista River, and can also rely on natural danger to defend and dispatch the main force north. Moreover, this action of Soviet Russia is not necessarily a bad thing, and we finally have an excuse not to take the opportunity to attack India. ”

Li Songshan smiled and said: "Commander-in-Chief is wise, I am afraid that the entire Western world and even Soviet Russia will think that we will take the opportunity to capture India after defeating the enemy, but they definitely did not expect that we ourselves do not want to face the hundreds of millions of indigenous refugees in India." Now that Soviet Russia has made such a move, the West will believe that our army has been held back by Soviet Russia, and that we have not taken the opportunity to attack India and have an excuse to explain to our country. After this battle, we can draw hundreds of thousands of troops north. ”

Li Bufan said lightly: "It's not hundreds of thousands, it's two million." ”

"Two, two million!?" Li Songshan and Zhang Xiaozhun looked at Li Bufan dumbfounded, almost thinking that they had heard it wrong.

Li Bufan said solemnly: "Yes, it's two million." We gave up attacking India now because of the refugees, which was equivalent to giving the British time, and it is said that Dannat was ready to build a fortified complex on the west bank of the Tibetan River-Tista River. Once the construction of this fortress group is completed, it will be difficult for us to conquer it in a short time, and the war will enter a long confrontation due to the natural danger of the two rivers, and it will be difficult to open up the situation. If the Western powers have enough time, then they can continue to train colonial cannon fodder regiments to consume our army. No matter how many of these cannon fodder die, those white-skinned pigs will not feel distressed, and fighting such a battle does not meet our strategic requirements. ”

Li Songshan said in a deep voice: "There are pros and cons, this is indeed a troublesome thing." After a pause, he said, "But what does this have to do with our dispatch of two million troops to the north?" Could it be that the commander-in-chief was ready to go to war with Soviet Russia again during this period? ”

Li Bufan smiled dumbly and said, "Of course not." Although we already have enough enemies, it doesn't matter if there is one more. But a little less, there is still an advantage for us. Transferring two million troops to the north, in addition to deterring Soviet Russia, there is also an important strategist's plan. ”

Zhang Xiaozhun couldn't help but ask, "What plan?" ”

"The 'Soldiers in the City' plan."

"'Soldiers are in the city'!?" Li Songshan and Zhang Xiaozhun looked at each other, and they didn't know why for a while.

Li Bufan smiled and said, "This is what I discussed and planned with Wu Di before I came, and it was just a plan. It would have been cumbersome to implement, mainly because it required a large number of troops, and such a large-scale movement of troops would trigger a series of chain reactions. Originally, I was hesitant to proceed, but now that Soviet Russia has given us an excuse for a large-scale transfer of troops, then the obstacle to the first step of the plan no longer exists, in fact, this is also the biggest obstacle. ”

"I see." Li Songshan and Zhang Xiaozhun breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Bufan said with a smile: "Now we are still concentrating on fighting this battle, and after the war, we will discuss and improve this plan." ”

"Yes!" (To be continued......)
