Listening to Kamenev's reasons for opposition, Tukhachevsky only smiled faintly: "Comrade Kamenev, you are right, we are indeed gambling, gambling with the future and fate of the party and the country. But now the shape shì...... Can we still tolerate steady and steady? I have an up-to-date vision for the decisive battle on the Eastern Front. ”

He took an extra-long baton from a staff officer, pointed to the front of the confrontation between the two armies on the map, and said: "My idea is to divide the attacking forces of the Eastern Front Army into two, and use 12 tank armies and 12 group armies of more than one million troops and 2,500 tanks to immediately attack from the front to attract the attention of the Chinese army. At the same time, three tank armies and two group armies were used to form a surprise attack group, which entered the forest area from the north of the battle line, and the method of day and night movement could be adopted to evade the opponent's aerial reconnaissance, so that they could quietly go around the back of the Chinese army and attack the Chinese troops along the Trans-Siberian Railway. The enemy, although nine infantry divisions were deployed along the railway to Tulum, was completely vulnerable to our assault force of about 200,000. As long as we cut off the Siberian railway line, we will be able to put the 3 armored armies of the Chinese army in our pockets at once! ”

The 3 armored armies of the Chinese army have 27 divisions with armored numbers, equipped with 4, 5000 tanks and strong artillery! If this force can be surrounded, the Eastern Front may really be able to turn the tide! Kamenev and Meretskov looked at each other, and both thought that the solution was good, and immediately continued to study with Tukhachevsky and Pavlov. This battle plan for crossing the Great Forest to raid the Chinese army behind them was conceived by Tukhachevsky and Pavlov on the way to Siberia, and it was only an immature draft. After the additions of Kamenev and Meretskov, it was already preliminarily formed. However, Kamenev is still more worried about the strong breakthrough ability of the Chinese armored forces, even if the surprise attack of the 3 tank armies and the 2 group armies is successful, it may not be able to withstand the breakthrough of thousands of Chinese tanks!

But Pavlov had a way to deal with it: "Comrade Kamenev, I have studied in detail the main model of the Chinese and German armored forces - the Stalker tank destroyer. Armed with a large-caliber anti-tank gun and strong armor, this assault gun was more of a weapon against tank attacks than an offensive weapon. Because this tank destroyer actually sacrifices maneuverability and wide fire angles in exchange for firepower and frontal armor, it is difficult for all known tanks and assault guns to defeat the Stalker tank destroyer when it is on the defensive. Even our Su-75 will have a hard time breaking through the defenders of the pursuers. And this kind of high-strike artillery was actually designed on the model of the Hunter.

I think it can also be thought the other way around, when our Su-75 is on the defensive, it will be equally difficult for enemy hunters to break through! Because when the Stalker tank destroyer is in motion, its low body is easy to conceal, its 75mm main gun cannot fire, its low speed makes it easy to hit and difficult to get close to opponents, and its 60mm frontal armor arranged at a 60-degree angle cannot withstand the fire of 75mm or 76.2mm long-barreled anti-tank guns.

Therefore, we should group 600 Su-75 guns that have recently rolled off the assembly line into three tank armies for sneak attacks. When the sneak attack was successful, we used 600 Su-75s to defend against the armored assault of the Chinese army. It is believed that 600 Su-75s will be enough to deal with 3-4 times more Stalker tank destroyers. In addition, the latest ZIS-2 anti-tank gun delivered to the front line is a very powerful anti-tank weapon, although it is only 57mm caliber, but it has 63.5 times the diameter, and the muzzle velocity of the shell reaches 1000m/s. It is possible to penetrate 1000mm armor at a distance of 90 meters. I would like to send all the first batch of 300 ZIS-2 anti-tank guns to the sneak attack unit. This should be able to inflict heavy damage on the armored clusters of the Chinese army in a defensive battle, and create conditions for the annihilation of the three armored armies of the Chinese army! ”

Kamenev pondered for a while, he was an old colonel from the Tsarist era, and he was very proficient in positional warfare and cavalry warfare. But tank battles, seriously, he doesn't know much about it. However, Tukhachevsky is a leading expert in this area, and Pavlov's tactics are clearly approved by him. It doesn't seem to be much worse.

So he nodded and immediately said: "It is not easy for tank groups to cross the forest, but it is not impossible, you can cut a road with an axe, fortunately, the Chinese have just arrived here and are not familiar with the big forest, and our guerrillas control the forests on both sides of the Trans-Siberian railway line." With a few times more force, it should be possible to compress the enemy's cordon in the forest area to the edge of the forest. In this way, it will be possible to organize a logging team to go in. ”

"Okay." Tukhachevsky nodded with satisfaction, pointed to Pavlov beside him and said: "I have appointed Comrade Pavlov as the commander of the sneak attack troops, believing that his talent is enough to win this decisive battle for the Soviet Union!" ”

……

In the primeval forests of Siberia east of the Uda River, after daylight fell on July 10, the partisan and reconnaissance training units of the Soviet Red Army suddenly became active with more enthusiasm than before. They seem to want to liberate this inaccessible forest before liberating all mankind, and desperately attack every Chinese scout operating in the forest. Hundreds of combined units of Soviet infantry and cavalry at the company level were formed in the shortest possible time, starting from the secret strongholds of the Soviet army in the depths of the forest. With the control of zhì at the edge of the forest, the power of the Chinese army searched together. The large forests north and south of the Trans-Siberian Railway Line are directly related to the security of the Chinese army's logistics line, so how can they be willing to give up control of this forest? As a result, the headquarters of the Siberian Front of the Chinese army also immediately transferred troops to the jungle warfare, and the clash of small troops between the two sides suddenly became a mess on the whole front.

The Chinese army not only dispatched infantry and cavalry like its opponents, but even used the Type 34 wheeled armored vehicles that had just been put into use. The total combat weight of the car is 4.4 tons. With a total length of 4.8 meters, a total width of 1.95 meters, and a total height of 1.75 meters, it can carry three members, has 5-8 mm armor, is equipped with a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun, and is also equipped with a radio station.

As a result, the jungle battle between the two sides suddenly entered **, and the Siberian front, which had been calm for several days, suddenly became tense. Guo Songling, the commander of the Siberian Front, who received the report, immediately rushed to Tulum by train from Irkutsk. Subsequently, in spite of the obstruction of his staff, accompanied by General Chen Jiji, the former commander-in-chief of the front army, he personally went to the front-line position to observe the situation in person. Because he also knows that the current overall strategic shape is changing to an extremely unfavorable aspect for the Soviet army, and in order to reverse the decline and avoid defeat, the Soviet army will inevitably use the period before the German army launches a fierce attack on the Western Front to give it a go on the Eastern Front!

However, the famous Chinese general, who had just been promoted to marshal, did not expect that the Russians would use an axe to cut a passage for tanks to enter and exit in the dense Siberian forest. In his opinion. It is possible that the Soviets will use several divisions of light infantry to penetrate the large forest and attack behind the Chinese flanks, but they have already placed enough troops along the Trans-Siberian Railway. There are also up to three armored corps in reserve, and there is really nothing to worry about. The real decisive battle could only be decided by a frontal assault of tank clusters, so his attention was still on the frontal battlefield east of the Uda River.

From the telescope eyepiece of His Excellency Marshal, the broad plain east of the Uda River is visible. The Soviet front moved significantly forward, advancing at least 10 kilometers east from the west bank of the Uda River. It has approached the vicinity of the front line of the Chinese army. And it is clear that it has formed a perfect starting position. There were gaps in the barbed wire, deer barricades and trenches for armoured vehicles to enter and exit. The tentative offensive had already begun, and the sorties were all small units, at most battalion-level, accompanied by long-range artillery fire, but the fire was not violent, and it didn't seem to be much accurate, and it seemed that the east and west were purely wasting ammunition. However, Guo Songling knew that the other party was testing the shot! It is estimated that a large-scale offensive will soon begin.

It's still raining in the sky. In the summer, the Siberian region does not reach the southeast coast of China, but there are often weeks of moderate rain. For the Chinese army, which has air superiority, such a rainy day is not good news.

The generals of the National Defense Forces who accompanied Guo Songling to inspect the front line, including Senior General Li Zongren, former commander-in-chief of the enemy and commander of the 7th Group Army, and Senior General Xu Tingyao, commander-in-chief of the armored cluster and commander of the First Armored Group Army, also all had solemn faces. Seeing Guo Songling put down the binoculars, they began to put forward their opinions.

The first to speak was Xu Tingyao, whose troops were at the forefront and were also the pioneers who fought along the way. He frowned and shook his head, "The shape is a little grim." Mao Shuai. It is very likely that the Soviets will fight with us east of the Uda River! We are now a long snake formation all the way from Irkutsk, and the logistics line is always under the threat of Soviet partisans, so we have to put in a large number of infantry defenses, and as a result, the front line is not enough, only 31 divisions. The other side can mobilize the entire strength of the Eastern Front, at least 120 divisions, which is four times my strength. Although our armored forces have strong combat effectiveness, the armored forces are offensive after all, and now they are used to fight a war of attrition in positions, I am afraid it will ......" He fell silent. This remark represents the voice of most of the officers present. Everyone was nodding silently.

Guo Songling sneered: "What are you afraid of?" Isn't it just the consumption of some tanks and armored vehicles! Now that more than 1,000 vehicles are produced every month, the Soviets are playing right into our hands if they want to trade their lives! In my opinion, the battle of Udinsk is still a war of attrition, as long as the goal of consuming a large number of enemies can be achieved, it will be considered a victory. As for using armored clusters to fight a large-scale annihilation war interspersed with encirclement, don't think about it, this is the hinterland of Lao Maozi, we are not familiar with life here, and we can't play any wonderful tactical cluster cooperation, and steady and steady is the best policy. ”

There was a lot of discussion in the Cover Department, most of the generals here were from the Baoding Department, and Chang Ruiqing was an alumnus, so they didn't take Guo Songling, the marshal of the Lu Department, seriously. But after discussing for a long time, I still feel that steady and steady play is the only feasible tactic, otherwise how can I fight? Is it a surprise attack through the Great Siberian Forest? This is not the Ardennes Forest of Belgium, and there are no roads that pass through the forests around Nizhne-Udinsk. If the pursuer wants to drive in, unless he uses an axe to cut a path! If such a surprise attack can be successful, there will be ghosts, and the old man in the forest is not blind and deaf.

"Mao Shuai, my subordinates think that the Soviet Red Army will not give us a chance to fight steadily, and they will definitely try their best to use surprises, so we had better be careful."

Guo Songling followed the sound and saw that it was General Wang Geng, who had served as the principal of the Armored Forces School and the director of the Armored Forces, who was a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and had followed Chang Ruiqing very early. Now the commander of the 6th Panzer Army. Although his education is not low and he became famous very early, he is recognized as a "managerial talent" in the Wehrmacht, to put it bluntly, he can manage an army well, but he is not a tactician or strategist, because he has too many dogmatic things in his head, but there is almost no flexibility.

Guo Songling smiled slightly. waved his hand indifferently: "Let them use Qi, I have placed 27 mechanized divisions on the Nizhny Uginsk front, if the Soviets are not given a chance to use Qi, the Battle of Nizhny Uginsk will not be fought!" Saying that, he smiled and said to Li Zongren: "Brother Delin, let your infantry shrink and give up the big forest to Lao Maozi." I'd like to see what they're going to do! ”

……

When the change in the situation on the Nizhne-Udinsk front was reported to Chang Ruiqing, it was already the morning of July 11. "Now it seems that the Soviets must be fighting the idea of the big forest, and their activities in the forest have suddenly increased more than ten times just to control the forest so that the large army can pass through it." Zhao Fatzi sat in the dining room of Tangshan's official residence, analyzing the report of the Siberian Front that he had just received while having breakfast. "There are two choices in front of Guo Maochen now, one is to simply withdraw the troops back to Tulum, and wait for the Germans to attack the Soviet Union next year before entering Krasnoyarsk. It is estimated that it will be just a fortress attack at that time; The second is to make a plan and let Lao Maozi use the big forest to carry out a surprise attack, and Lao Maozi will definitely use the armored cluster to launch a frontal offensive at the same time as the surprise attack, which is a good opportunity, only need to defeat the armored cluster of Lao Maozi, and any surprise attack will be in vain. ”

"Nothing could go wrong, could it? I heard that Tukhachevsky had personally gone to the Siberian front, and that he was Trotsky's number one general. ”

It was Zhang Guotao who spoke, and China had recently begun to enter French Indochina. Took over the protection of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from the French. Zhang Guotao and Ren Yijiang had to go to the official residence almost every morning to report to Chang Ruiqing on the movements of the various indigenous political factions in French Indochina, and sometimes Zhang Guotao would also report some important international military and political intelligence by the way.

Zhao Zhen put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped his mouth, shook his head and said: "Of course, Tukhachevsky is not easy to deal with, but fighting a war cannot be based on strategy alone, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is the most important." Now Guo Songling has 3 armored clusters in his hands. With more than 4,000 tanks, assault artillery, and nearly 3,000 planes of two air armies in the air, the strength is in an absolute advantage. How many tanks can Tukhachevsky come up with? How many planes? Even if there is really a good way to turn things around, I'm afraid there are no troops to achieve it, right? Take 10,000 steps back. What if Tukhachevsky succeeds in a sneak attack? Our three armored armies deployed on the Nizhne-Uginsk front have already stockpiled ammunition and supplies for one campaign. Even if you lose logistical supplies temporarily, you can finish the battle of Nizhne-Udinsk! ”

"Even if you don't have so many reserves, don't worry, it's a big deal to use an armored army to open up the logistics line." Wu Shi followed Zhao Zhen's words and said: "How many Soviets can cross the big forest? I think there are only a few infantry divisions in the sky, and no matter how many there are, there is no way out, and there is no way to ensure logistics. It's just a lone army, and it can't be atmospheric. Guo Maochen was completely right to use this opportunity to attract the main forces of the Soviet Army's Eastern Front for a decisive battle. So I'm not worried at all about Siberia, but it's India that is a headache, India is the lifeblood of the British Empire, if it can't be recovered, the British Empire has no hope of revival, maybe it will really throw itself into the arms of Germany, I heard that their crown prince is a pro-German! Yaoru, are you sure of your plan to use Central Asia MSLIN to fight India's GCD? There is also Miss Sun's visit to the United States, and it seems that the Japanese GCD side is also ......"

Seeing Wu Shi's puzzled face, Chang Ruiqing just smiled faintly and said: "Just prepare with both hands, now there is not much suspense about the outcome of this world war, the question is only how long the Soviet Union can last, how long the British Empire can last, and whether Germany can successfully integrate the forces of Europe and become the number one power in the world." So we have to do a lot of consideration and layout. As for the Japanese GCD there...... Now it's time to be appeased. By the way, Kaiyin, last time you said that the Japanese wanted our First Aircraft Factory to help them build large airships, right? I think we can agree to it, and we can also transfer the relevant technology to them. ”

China's No. 1 Aircraft Factory has always had two side businesses: automobile production and airship manufacturing, and a few years ago, during the Great Economic Depression, it also imported a lot of technology from the loss-making Zeppelin Company, and also used these technologies to produce more than a dozen large airships and sell them to China Airlines for passenger transportation. Therefore, after preparing to learn from the United States in building an air carrier, the Japanese naturally thought of asking China for help. (To be continued.)
