Chapter 148 China will also be bombed by mistake!

"Tashkent is Russia's transportation hub in Central Asia, bordering Dushanbe to the south, Samarkand to the southwest, and Turkestan to the north. The existence of the Andijan and Fergana valleys threatens the security of Tashkent. Once a war breaks out, the Russian army must solve this trouble first, otherwise it will be tantamount to exposing the waist and eyes in front of us. Once Tashkent is occupied by us, Russia's strategic posture in Central Asia will be divided. So, if I were Stalin, I would first defeat Andijan and Ferghana. Our army's operational plan is also drawn up on the basis of this principle. "The person in charge of explaining the battle plan was Deputy Chief of General Staff Xu Chongzhi.

"We all know it, and the Russian army naturally knows it. It is impossible for a mature commander to fight according to the enemy's demands. Does this plan take more direction into account? Qi Zhenghong raised an objection, and it was raised after reading the battle plan in front of him.

"The terrain of Central Asia is like that, you can't avoid it. The valley passes in the Andijan and Fergana valleys are in the hands of our army, and Lao Maozi can't fly over the mountains, right? Leng Yu opened his mouth unhurriedly, in the first phase of the teaching team, he and Qi Zhenghong have the highest status, and the two have been competing in private.

"Why is it impossible? The Russian army can take advantage of the convenience of the railway line, all the way south from Galaganda, all the way east from Tashkent, form a pincer posture in Bishkek, and first fight a decisive battle with the heavy army group of our Northwest Military District. Not to be outdone, Qi Zhenghong retorted back.

Both of them were Fang Jianxiong's protégés, and they argued that others were not good at interjecting, so they had to turn their eyes away. Even Jiang Fangzhen smiled and didn't speak at this time. Fang Jianxiong, who had been listening calmly. At this time, he said: "Qi Zhenghong, are you making trouble?" Bishkek was garrisoned by four infantry divisions, as well as strong permanent fortifications, and two front-line airfields. The Almaty garrison, not far behind, had two mechanized corps ready for reinforcements. How many troops does the Soviet army need for a decisive battle in Bishkek? Soviet troops moving south from Galaganda. How many troops do you need to be enough? Moreover, the terrain of Central Asia is complicated, how can the Soviet army unfold? Even if a large corps can be deployed, how to solve the problem of logistics and supply? Just by a railway line between the mountains? Are you furnished at the airport in front of the line? Qi Zhenghong was silent, lowered his head and did not speak.

"The mountains and mountains of Central Asia are good for both the enemy and us. But there are also downsides. If I had Stalin, I would not have launched an active offensive in Central Asia, but would have gathered heavy troops in Siberia and waited for the next spring. As for Central Asia, it is enough to pinch the bitter pot, and our army will have thousands of troops. As long as the Soviet army put an infantry corps, it would not be able to rush out through such a small opening. Airplane bombing, very much that solves the fundamental problem. I think that's why Fukuni dared to let bombers sort, and if Stalin had been a calm man, he would have resorted to more rational tactics. If I were the chief of the General Staff of the Soviet Army, I would have wished that the Chinese side would attack first. It's the terrain of Central Asia. Large-scale mechanized troops simply could not be deployed. Al Makre was held to the east, Khujand was blocked to the south, and Talas to the north had long been fortified. In that part of Central Asia, the scale of the war was not large. Jiang Fangzhen expounded his opinion, and everyone nodded approvingly, this is prestige.

"The plan drawn up by the General Staff is based precisely on the characteristics of the terrain of Central Asia. Chief of Staff Xu, you continue. Xu Shuzheng finally spoke, and the prestige of the General Staff must be maintained.

"The plan made by the Northwest Military District, such as the Russian army sending troops from Khujand. Our army abandoned Ferghana and retreated near Andijan, holding on to strong fortresses. The General Staff approved the plan and used air superiority in the event of an attack by the Russian army. Concentrate on bombing the point of Khujand and block the logistics supply lines of the Russian army. In order to defeat this, the defenses of Bishkek should be strengthened first, and the forward airfields in Bishkek should be further expanded to accommodate at least one B-17 bomber wing. At present, the only B-17 bomber wing of our Air Force is deployed at the airfields of Dihua, Almaty, and Bishkek in the Northwest Military Region. It should be said that there was no problem in completing this preparation in one day, and a month later, winter had arrived. If the Russian army targets the offensive in the near future, then winter will become a big trouble for the Russian army. Liu Mingzhao built a plan to use the winter to reserve strategic materials in Bishkek and Almaty, and strive to seize Tashkent in a war next spring. In order to lay the foundation for the next step of developing to the southwest and coercing Dushanbe and Samarkand, there is an opportunity to seize these two places. This depends on the development of the war situation. The Soviet Fourth Army is mainly distributed in the three regions of Tashkent, Dushanbe, and Samarkand, and has one mechanized army, one cavalry army, and three infantry armies, which is a bit of a hodgepodge. In the Andijan and Ferghana regions, our army has one separate cavalry corps, one fortress garrison division, and four fortress artillery brigades. At the same time, a large amount of military supplies were hoarded, which could hold out for at least a year. Even if the Soviets attacked, they could still be replenished by a large number of airdrops. Therefore, the airport in Andijan also needs to be expanded. In general, due to the peculiarities of the terrain of Central Asia, the General Staff developed a plan for a solid defense in the winter and a counterattack next spring. Some preparations can start now, and some work will have to wait until the next move of the Russian army comes out. ”

When Jiang Fangzhen heard this, he raised his hand and said: "The current situation is very unclear, and the decision on whether to fight or not is in the hands of the Russian army." From my point of view, since the general mobilization has been carried out, it is necessary to do a good job of the Russian army coming over, and it is necessary to fight him back and seize Tashkent, Dushanbe, and Samarkand, and completely pull out these large strongholds of the Russian army in Central Asia. In order to achieve this strategic goal, it is necessary to concentrate the forces that can be used, especially the air force, and the bomber wing should be transferred more than half. The production of the B-17 was too slow, so Huabo accelerated it, and if it couldn't do so, it would purchase 200 to 300 aircraft from the United States in winter. Otherwise, it will not be enough at all, and the carrying capacity of Juncker is still a little smaller. ”

"Whether we fight or not, we have to be ready. A war between China and Russia is inevitable, and there should be no fluke. Fang Jianxiong said this lightly, everyone's hearts trembled, the meaning of these words is too clear, this is the rhythm of dying with Russia. Once China and Russia fight, it will not be a small-scale war, from important to Siberia, it may be a battlefield. At present, there is no problem with the reserves of the two major military regions, which are enough for the existing garrisons for one year, but when it comes to fighting, it is different, and the supplies are really massive.

In parallel history, in 1945, the total number of Soviet troops once reached more than 10 million, which is really a terrible number. With China's existing human resources and industrial potential, it is possible to arm 20 million troops, but the problem is that this consumption is too great. In principle, Fang Jianxiong's mind is very clear, the later he joins the battle, the better, even if he fights with the Soviet army this time, he must control it to a certain extent. Fang Jianxiong has explained this point very clearly to everyone, it is best to wait until the United States enters the war first, and if you can't wait, you will delay it for a day. This was based on the premise that Stalin refused to fight on both sides.

"Our air force is using old maps, so there was a bombing by mistake, and the target of our bombing was an armed bandit who often wreaked havoc in the demilitarized zone." When the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs faced reporters from various countries, he did not blush with his eyes open and said nonsense. Bombed by mistake? That's a powerful explanation!

"People all over the world know that Chinese President Fang Jianxiong threatened the Soviet Union, and this will be a bomb thrown over, you tell everyone that this is a misunderstanding? God, how can there be such a rogue country in this world, but we love it! So said a Western newspaper.

"There is nothing to reproach with hooligans in a hooligan way. The Finnish people will not give in, and they are grateful to the Chinese for their support in action. Finnish newspapers take a clear stand.

It seems that Fang made such an explanation because of winter. To be honest, this reason is not as convincing as the reason for the Soviet invasion of Finland, but it is very much in line with his usual style. The New York Times reports.

The plane landed at the airfield in Samarkand, and from it came General Zhukov, the new commander of the Fourth Army. Waiting at the airport was a group of subordinates, the previous commander Chuikov, who could not wait for the handover, and was called back to Moscow by Stalin. In the face of this news, Zhukov was happy to see it. This shows that Stalin has not lost the last of his senses. There was a big gap between the Soviet Union and China in the military power of the entire Central Asian region. The ongoing Soviet-Finnish war pinned down the main forces of the Soviet army. In Central Asia, on the contrary, the main forces had only one Fourth Army, and in Siberia there was also a Fifth Army. The two group armies, together with the local armed forces, are simply unable to compete head-on with the armed forces of the squadrons in these two areas, and there is no difference between taking the initiative to attack and seeking death. But since the order has been given, Zhukov will definitely carry it out, it's just how to carry it out.

"Is there any latest information on the Chinese side?" As soon as Zhukov stood firm, he asked the chief of staff who had come to pick him up.

"There has been no further movement yet. Their Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared that it was a misunderstanding because of the old map. ”

"Misunderstanding? This joke is not funny at all! Zhukov broke out in a cold sweat, feeling that the three views had collapsed, and such a shameless thing had been done. Is this still Chinese? This is simply the style of Britain and the United States. It seems that the pure and loyal Chinese have been brought bad by Britain and the United States, it must be yes, otherwise how to explain this matter clearly?

In Beijing, Fang Jianxiong, who was holding a glass of wine in his hand, raised his hand and turned off the radio, and said to himself with infinite emotion: "Bombed by mistake, I didn't expect China to have such a day!" ”
