Chapter 740: The Royal Army on Standby
In the military headquarters of the Third Guards Army of the Imperial Chinese Army on the front line of the Ural Mountains, the 17 commanders of the main forces of the Royal Chinese Army are holding a military meeting under the chairmanship of Ni Fan, the commander-in-chief of the front line of the Imperial Chinese Army in the Ural Mountains.
Listening to the words of Wu Hui, the commander of the Fourth Guards, Ni Fan also smiled, but Ni Fan immediately said: "We can't be careless, according to the information just obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire have all sent a large number of additional troops to the front line of the Ural Mountains to make up for the gap in the total strength of the first-line coalition forces in the Ural Mountains after Britain, France and the United States withdrew from the war, but the specific increase has not yet been obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau." ”
As soon as Ni Fan's words fell, a shout came from outside the door of the Third Guards Military Headquarters, "Report!" The Ministry of Defense urgently called! ”
Ni Fan turned his head and shouted: "Come in!" ”
After a lieutenant colonel walked into the military headquarters with a telegram, he walked quickly to Ni Fan's side and handed the telegram in his hand to Ni Fan, "Army commander, the Ministry of Defense has sent an urgent telegram. ”
After Ni Fan received the telegram, he read it quickly, and then raised his head and said to the commanders of the other 16 main armies: "Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, this time it can be regarded as a desperate gamble, the Ministry of Defense has just transferred the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Agency, Germany will add 900,000 army troops to the Ural Mountains, Italy will increase 200,000, Austria-Hungary will increase 350,000, and the Ottoman Turkish Empire will increase 250,000, And Russia has suddenly transferred 2 million army units to the front line of the Ural Mountains, and the military intelligence has received information. Russia will also expand its army by 3 million troops, with one division for each expansion. will all be sent to the front line of the Ural Mountains, plus the current strength of the 5-nation coalition forces on the front line of the Ural Mountains. Eventually, the total strength of the coalition forces will be more than 7 million, and if Russia continues to increase its troops, this number can even reach 8 million, 9 million, or even 10 million! ”
Hu Desheng, the commander of the Fourth Field Army, said at this time: "The last time our 13 main armies faced the number of coalition forces in the Battle of Ufa City, the number of troops was not much less than this time, although we abandoned the area west of the Ural Mountains, but in general we still won the battle of Ufa City, this time the number of our main forces reached 17, there is no reason not to achieve a big victory." It is believed that as long as the logistics department can guarantee the supply of combat materials for our 17 main forces, that is, the total strength of the five-nation coalition forces will exceed 10 million, and our 17 main forces will still be able to win this major war in the end. ”
The commanders of the other main forces also nodded approvingly, don't look at the total strength of the 5-nation coalition army is very scary, but the main forces of the 17 Royal Chinese Army with well-equipped and strong combat effectiveness are really not afraid of them, and the 17 main forces also have the strong support of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, and thousands of fighters have also been given to the 17 commanders of the main force of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire. Strong confidence.
Ni Fan smiled and put the telegram in his hand aside, and then said: "This time, our 17 main armies will be in a defensive position in the early stage of the battle, Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Anxious to regain the initiative in the war on land, and having gathered sufficient forces, they will certainly take the initiative to attack the fortifications we have built along the Ural Mountains. In this way, we will be able to take advantage of the strong fortifications we have built along the lines of the Ural Mountains in the early stages of this imminent battle. Kill and wound the living forces of the 5-nation coalition in large numbers, and then launch a counterattack. Completely defeat the multi-million army of the 5-nation coalition. ”
Ni Fan then ordered the staff officers in the military headquarters to hang a huge military map on the wall, and Ni Fan said to the other 16 army commanders: "This is the fortification map we built on the front line of the Ural Mountains, and the main purpose of my gathering of everyone today is to allocate the defense areas of each army." ”
On this defense map, the area where the Ural Mountains face the city of Zutousst, the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire has built a total of 3 defense systems in the canyon leading to the east of the Ural Mountains and the mountains on both sides according to the mountain terrain, each of which has a width of nearly 10 kilometers, and all the roads that can be taken to the east of the Ural Mountains in this area are firmly blocked.
The depth of each defense system is more than 1 kilometer, after the end of the Battle of Ufa City, more than a dozen main forces of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, using a large amount of cement and steel bars transported from the rear, as well as wood and stones from local materials, built these three defense systems very perfectly, which is also Ni Fan's confidence that he can rely on the three defense systems to hit the 5-nation coalition army hard, and formulate the battle plan for this upcoming battle into a defensive counterattack.
Ni Fan took a baton and pointed at the defense map and said: "The troops of the first line of fortifications will be the most arduous task, and in the face of millions of enemy attacks, the casualties will definitely be very large, I am ready to ......"
"Old Ni, let's let the Fifth Guards guard the first line of fortifications!"
"Old Ni, let my troops guard the first line of fortifications!"
"Brother Ni, let our army guard the first line of fortifications!"
……
Before Ni Fan's words were finished, several army commanders said that they hoped that their troops would guard the first line of defense.
Ni Fan waved his hand and said: "After my consideration, the first line of fortifications is guarded by the Third Field Army, the Fourth Field Army, the Ninth Field Army, the Tenth Field Army and my Third Guards Army, the second line of fortifications is guarded by the Eleventh Field Army, the Twelfth Field Army, the Thirteenth Field Army and the Fourth Guards Army, the last fortification is guarded by the Fourteenth Field Army, the Fifteenth Field Army, the Fifth Guards Army and the Sixth Guards Army, and the Ninth Guards Army, the Tenth Guards Army, The 24th Field Army and the 25th Field Army are used as reserves. ”
The other 16 army commanders, seeing that Ni Fan had already made specific arrangements for each defense area, looked at each other and nodded in agreement with Ni Fan's arrangement.
Ni Fan continued: "The armies immediately took over their positions according to this new armament, and continued to use various building materials to strengthen the fortifications, and the armies reinforced by Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire are hurrying to the front line of the Ural Mountains. Perhaps it will not be long before the forces of the 5-nation coalition will launch an onslaught on the defenses of our Royal Army in the Ural Mountains. This will be another arduous battle with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and all armies must be mentally prepared to fight a vicious battle. ”
The other 16 commanders nodded. In any case, the five-nation alliance forces occupy a huge advantage in strength, and it is foreseeable that in this imminent war, the victory belongs to the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, and the price paid by the 17 main armies will be very amazing.
The 17 main armies of the Imperial Chinese Army were waiting for the 5-nation coalition to collide with the defense line of the Ural Mountains.
In the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City in Beijing, Lin Daxin, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, was in a very good mood and brought Premier Wang Yan, Minister of National Defense, Wu Peifu, and Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, over.
After the armistice was signed between Britain, France, and the United States, the Chinese Empire made a lot of money from these three countries. Australia, New Zealand, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, and all the British islands in Oceania were acquired from the British, Alaska was obtained from the United States, and the French islands of Oceania were obtained from France.
Lin Daxin's industries in the United States were also taken back, and he also received a large amount of compensation, plus the war reparations of Britain, France and the United States, almost 280 million pounds, which was enough for Lin Daxin to squander for a while, plus the Chinese Empire lost 3 strong opponents at once. Of course, Lin Daxin's mood is very good.
Lin Daxin smiled and said to the three important ministers: "After removing the three countries of Britain, France and the United States, I didn't expect that the remaining Germany, Russia and other countries were still unwilling, and they even wantonly increased their troops to the front line of the Ural Mountains. It seems that several of their countries want to turn the tables in the Ural Mountains! ”
Li Kun, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, nodded and said: "The latest information obtained by our Military Intelligence Agency shows that the five countries of Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire have preliminarily prepared to gather more than 7 million army troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains, as well as more than 20,000 artillery pieces. Including some anti-aircraft artillery, the more than 7 million five-nation coalition forces will have about 1,500 tanks and 1,200 armored vehicles. The air forces of five other countries also concentrated about 800 fighters, which were deployed along the Ural Mountains. I want to compete with our Royal Air Force for air supremacy. ”
Lin Daxin didn't show any worry about the very frightening data of the 5-nation coalition army, pursed his lips, and said indifferently: "Our Royal Army of the Chinese Empire has gathered 6 guards and 11 field armies on the front line of the Ural Mountains, and the losses of the 13 main forces in the Battle of Ufa City have also been replenished, so that we have 2.6 million troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains, Ni Fan sent a telegram back, preparing to use defensive counterattack tactics to deal with the attack of the 5-nation coalition forces, I believe that our Royal Army will not let the 5-nation coalition have any chance of turning the tables, and the abacus of these 5 European countries will not start. ”
Wu Peifu sighed at this time and said: "It's a pity that it is too difficult to transport troops from Novosibirsk City to the Ural Mountains, and now most of the heavy equipment of the Ninth Guards, the Tenth Guards Army, the Twenty-fourth Field Army and the Twenty-fifth Field Army have not yet arrived at the front line of the Ural Mountains. If transportation is convenient, now that Britain has signed an armistice, our Royal Army can completely put the five field armies that are preparing to attack India into the front line of the Ural Mountains, and then the chances of victory will be even greater. ”
Lin Daxin said: "On the front line of the Ural Mountains, the strength of the army should not be increased, we supply 17 main forces to fight on the front line of the Ural Mountains, the pressure on logistics is already very great, and if we add 5 main forces, our prime minister should scratch his head." ”
Wang Yan said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, now the minister has scratched his head, in order to ensure the logistics supply of the 2.6 million army, we have dispatched more than 500 owl transport planes, more than 200 airships and more than 6,000 trucks, almost day and night to deliver war materials to the front line of the Ural Mountains, India does not need to fight now, we can add more than 100 owl transport planes and more than 50 airships to deliver war materials to the front line of the Ural Mountains, but the war there is about to break out, We must give the 17 main armies, stock up on enough ammunition and supplies, and preferably not increase the number of troops on the front line of the Ural Mountains, we are now almost at the limit. ”
Lin Daxin nodded with a smile and said: "Cousin, don't worry, there are 17 main forces on the front line of the Ural Mountains that are completely sufficient, and the Ministry of Defense has prepared to let them go to Far Eastern Province, Yalu River Province and North Province to land on the Japanese mainland in the future. ”
Wang Yan said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, we have hoarded a large amount of war materials in Novosibirsk, although it is difficult to transport war materials, but before the reinforcements of the five-nation coalition army arrive in the Ural Mountains, we will definitely send enough ammunition and materials to the 17 main forces." ”
Then Lin Daxin turned his head and said to Wu Peifu: "Although the five field armies that are preparing to attack India cannot be transferred to the first line of the Ural Mountains, the fighters and bombers of the Royal Air Force originally deployed around India can be completely strengthened to the first line of the Ural Mountains, and the five-nation coalition forces also have a large number of new air defense weapons, so we must concentrate as many fighters as possible to ensure our absolute air superiority on the first line of the Ural Mountains." ”
Wu Peifu nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister immediately ordered the air force units around India to immediately transfer to the front line of the Ural Mountains to ensure our air supremacy on the front line of the Ural Mountains." ”
Lin Daxin asked again: "In this way, how many fighters can our Royal Air Force finally gather on the front line of the Ural Mountains?" ”
Wu Peifu replied: "Tell the emperor, if you add those fighters arranged around India, our Royal Air Force can gather about 1,200 improved Yellow Bird fighters and more than 1,000 improved Blue Eagle bombers on the front line of the Ural Mountains, and in the face of about 800 fighters of the five-nation coalition army, we can definitely seize air supremacy, and there should be no accidents." ”
Lin Daxin said lightly: "We have prepared a large table of good dishes for Germany, Russia, Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish Empire, and now we are waiting for the five-nation alliance to enter the table." (To be continued.) )
