"Red Soviet Russia has brazenly invaded our border, and our border defenders are sworn to fight back!!"

"The Bolsheviks are coming, the battle of Hudairi!!"

"The spread of red, what do we use to resist!!"

"The Soviets are attacking us, good boys go to the army!!"

"The border is burning, comrades, let's act!"

…… After the news of the brazen invasion of the border by Soviet Russia reached the mouth, it quickly became the front page headline of many newspapers and periodicals in China, and the entire front page was devoted to reports on the Sino-Soviet war.

In the six years since the founding of the Republic, which has not experienced a large-scale war, the People's Army has finally ushered in a formidable enemy after six years of recuperation. The people were apprehensive, enthusiastic, nervous, and indignant, but the same thing was that, from top to bottom, they demanded that the political axe be tough on the Russians.

"We must not be like Poland, falling victim to hegemonism! China is not Poland, the Soviets are not Germany!! ”

Such a slogan, once shouted in the newspapers, was universally welcomed. The theory of power and crisis is spreading rapidly in China.

It turned out that the world war was never far away from the republic, but was close at hand.

Because, on the side of the republic, there has always been a polar bear licking its bloody palms, this red polar bear symbolizes an unprecedented crisis, making the republic realize that when the economy develops rapidly and people's lives are improved, external threats have never gone away, and everything, in the face of huge external threats, is like a castle built on the beach.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people have never been as aware of the importance of a powerful political axe, a strong army, as they do today.

"Defend the country and enrich the country and strengthen the army."

Such a slogan may have been a slogan for the past six years, but now, with the pressure of Soviet Russia, it has become an urgent need to do.

Although in the past six years, no one has ever doubted the ruling of the Ba'ath Party, no one has ever changed their worship of the Supreme Chairman, and no one has ever opposed the strategic development policy of enriching the country and strengthening the army, it is only today that everyone realizes that the Baath Party and the Chairman of the Ba'ath Party have done one thing right, that is, to create a powerful army for the republic.

On the front page of the newspaper, there was a striking battlefield photo, a Russian soldier in the captive ranks, standing on a hill and looking back at the territory of the Soviet Union, his eyes full of confusion and attachment. In front of him and behind him were hundreds of Soviet prisoners who raised their hands and surrendered to the KPA, trembling at the guns of the KPA.

"The Soviets are not terrible, we will fight back with iron and blood and tell them that the aggressor will pay for blood and we will settle the accounts for hundreds of years!!"

Angry citizens rejoiced when they saw the photos of thousands of Russian soldiers holding their hands and being taken prisoner, then stuffed into trucks like pigs and transported to makeshift prisoner of war camps in the rear.

"The Baath Party will never make political axes, will never make concessions to the Russians, and will resolutely destroy any enemy the People's Army. China is not their money farm, they have no money, and if they want land, they will come and take a walk. ”

This was a tough statement made by Defense Minister General Cai Yi in a joint interview with three newspapers, Zhonghua Baobao, Fuxing Bao, and Hanjing Bao.

"Soviets, go back! We don't need Bol-Shevik. ”

After receiving permission from the political axe, university students from all over the country took the lead in the demonstration, especially the people of Hanjing City, who once surrounded the Soviet ambassador and threw rotten eggs and pebbles all over the Soviet embassy. People shouted angry slogans and, under the good protection of the people's police, gave vent to the Soviet embassy in an orderly manner.

After the incident, the Soviet embassy protested to the Chinese police force, which had been poorly protected during the demonstration, and it is said that when Mr. Ambassador tried to clarify and refute, he was smashed all over his face with rotten eggs, and a pebble the size of two eggs flew over the ambassador's head, almost frightening the elderly ambassador to the ground.

Subsequently, several local newspapers broke the news even more violently, and it was said that the source was a military staff officer, who anonymously revealed to several newspapers that China not only wanted to counterattack Soviet Russia, but also to settle old accounts between the two countries.

For a time, patriotic enthusiasm and a sense of national crisis were unprecedentedly high. As a result of the proper response and the swift counterattack, the prestige of the People's Army, the Baath Party, and Zhang Shusheng reached unprecedented heights.

What pushed all this forward was that the Ministry of National Defense officially announced that in order to avoid the hatred of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, the republic will carry out the third non-war military mobilization, and at least 50 new divisions of the people's army will be formed, so as to ensure that the republic will not be invaded by certain evil countries in the next few years.

"Chief of Staff Liu, the Soviets have despicably attacked Chinese territory, which is really outrageous."

In Hanjing, a secret hall, several envoys were in contact with the personnel of the Chinese General Staff to discuss some important matters.

Of the three Chinese staff officers next to him, two seemed to be entourage, and one was the chief of staff.

The chief of staff officer just smiled and was noncommittal, but he mentioned another matter, and said quietly, "Recently, your army has been making frequent moves in North Korea, so it is not that you want to take advantage of the fire to rob and echo with the Soviets." ”

"Chief of Staff Liu, where is this, the Soviets move frequently, in the Far East, whether it is China or Russia, they are old opponents, we just have a few troops stationed in case of accidents."

The man said that he spoke Mandarin very well, and at first glance he was a person who had lived in China for a long time and specialized in dealing with Chinese political axes, and he was even familiar with Chinese idioms and sayings.

That Chief of Staff Liu was one of the chief officers of the General Staff Department in charge of informal communication between the Chinese and Chinese people.

"At present, the situation of the war is unclear, and we cannot respond to your request for the time being. As for your military moves in the DPRK, we have been closely following it, and we hope that your country will judge the situation and not misjudge the situation. As for the Soviets, I won't bother you. Leave! ”

Staff Officer Liu left this contact point under the Special Intelligence Department with an unkind face, saying that he was really a cat crying mouse and fake mercy, a few years ago, you dogs were more exterminating than the Soviets, and if it wasn't for strategic needs, now it's not about fighting the Soviet Union, but about fighting you.

As a member of the senior staff department, Staff Officer Liu is well aware of the doorway here, and there are many wonderful stories about China and the Soviet Union and the Three Kingdoms sooner or later.

It's just that the premise of all this is that China will suffer the least losses and gain the greatest benefits.

Although they are also annoying, they do not dare to openly resist, but are conscientiously attacking Southeast Asia, and the Korean garrison is even more dispensable with two or three divisions.

Of course, they wanted to use the special period of the Sino-Soviet war to get advanced weapons from China as a 'sharp weapon in the war against the Soviet Union' in the future, but they were self-inflicted.

It's okay to sell some broken copper and iron to you, advanced weapons, that's delusional, sell them to the ragged ones to take them back to the furnace, sell them to the African natives, and they won't give you this devil.

Compared with the Soviets, the Chinese people also hate you Xiaoben.

At the Supreme Operations Department, Minister Su Yuren was introducing to Zhang Shusheng the preliminary 'deterrence plan for the Soviet Union' that had just been brought out. At this time, Jiang Baili and a group of staff officers of the General Staff Department were fiercely discussing every detail of this combat plan in front of the large map on the side, and the preliminary plan did not represent the final combat plan, but in accordance with Zhang Shusheng's first deterrent intention, he drew up a general combat policy.

"Chairman of the Committee, at present, our army and the Soviet army on the front line of the Hudaili River are facing each other while waiting for reinforcements, and there is a tendency to enter positional warfare, and many fierce air battles have also broken out between the air forces of the enemy and us. Although we shot down dozens of Soviet planes, they were still a drop in the bucket compared to their front-line planes on the Kyakhta front. ”

Su Yuren pointed to the map of Mongolia in the Hudaili area, and the baton pointed to several Mongolian airfields, including Kulen airfield, and gave a general introduction: "According to the plan, we will concentrate about 500 planes of various types, including 280 bombers of various types, and launch a surprise attack on Soviet airfields at dawn under the escort of more than 200 fighters, and carry out a comprehensive bombing of four front-line airfields of the Soviet Union, including Kyakhta airfield."

Since the Kulen airport will be used as the forward airport, the four runways will not only undertake the take-off and landing tasks of the base, but also undertake the transfer of aircraft from several other airports. To this end, we expect to urgently build two field runways in two days to serve as alternate runways.

This is the first time we have organized such a large-scale cross-border bombing, and we need to do a lot more to prepare for the weather conditions in Mongolia that are much worse than in the south. Fortunately, there is a large amount of aviation fuel and spare parts stored at the Cullen Air Base, and we only need to airlift the ground crew, mechanics, etc. to the Cullen Air Base to ensure the implementation of the plan.

As for the subsidiary plans of this plan, they are an overall deterrent and deception tactic laid out against the Soviets, and these subsidiary plans will be mainly completed by the Northeast Military Region and the Xinjiang Provincial Corps. ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Shusheng nodded, looking at the location of several airports, at that time Sino-Soviet relations were not particularly tense, although there were more than 500 new planes stationed in the entire Mongolia, compared with the backward planes of the West Siberian Military Region of the Soviets, almost all of them were a few years advanced, but the story of the ants biting the elephant to death, Zhang Shusheng also understood, so this risky bombing was actually a gamble, if the four front-line airports of the Soviets could be eliminated in one fell swoop, then even if the Soviets transferred more planes from other places, China would have more time, mobilize more air forces, transfer into Mongolia, and have a big air battle with the Soviets.

Winning the bet on the total destruction of the Soviet front-line airfield, but also on the reaction of the Soviets next.

Zhang Shusheng still understands the strategic means of the Soviets, although the purge consumed many talented Soviet commanders, it is undeniable that there are still many generals in the Soviet army, such as the original history, in 1939, the Soviet war broke out in the Nomenkan area, and the commander of the Soviet army, Zhukov, was one of the outstanding ones.

Then, if the Soviets have the conditions to bomb China in depth, they are also very likely to take risks, but the key is that although the range of Soviet planes can reach several second-tier airfields in China, they cannot fly back at all after the battle.

Chinese planes, on the other hand, were able to use the heavily garrisoned Kulen Air Base to advance out of the Kyakhta region of the Soviet Union and use this Kulen airfield as a springboard to bomb the Soviet front-line airfield.

The Soviets did not have the conditions for a surprise attack, and China had the conditions for a surprise attack, and it would be a pity not to take advantage of it.

"Do you think there are any problems with the plan?" Zhang Shusheng asked with a smile, but there was a secret saying in his heart, how can the plan be perfect, but any war plan, seven or eight times out of ten, depends on risk, but with careful planning and sudden attacks, the risk can be minimized.

"I think purely from the program itself, the viable surname is as high as 95 points. The question is how the Soviets will react after the bombing. I think that's where the risk of the plan lies. Su Yuren moved the baton and pointed to a model not far in front of the Kulen Air Base, which is an early warning radar base station, which is absolutely secret in the military establishment of the republic, and is called a communication base station internally," the chairman of the committee once said, the appearance of radar often makes the enemy transparent. At present, the Soviets have only one or two radar bases with theoretical surnames in Europe, and according to the repeated attempts of reconnaissance planes at front-line airfields, the other side has not deployed such advanced things in Western Siberia. Then, they lose the prerequisite for making our raid fleet transparent.

Without radar, we can guarantee a successful air raid on them. ”

Zhang Shusheng nodded, "Yes, the risk of this plan is that after bombing the Soviets, Stalin will not declare a full-scale war with us." ”

In fact, Zhang Shusheng knew very well that both China and the Soviet Union were not prepared for this Sino-Soviet border war, which suddenly became fierce because of various mistakes. This kind of border war is different from a war of all-out aggression, and the two sides may fight because of their interests and the dignity of the country, but the war is controllable.

Transferring the main forces of the Red Army from Europe to Western Siberia for an all-out attack on China did not conform to Stalin's long-standing strategic arrangements.

It is also not in China's interest to mobilize the main forces of the People's Army to the Sino-Soviet border and fight the Soviets to the death.

Then, the only possibility is that this will be a border war that can be big or small, and in any case, the Soviet army, which lost the front-line airfield in the early stage, will be much more passive in action, and it is impossible to fight to the death with the German army like the Soviet-German war that is about to break out.

What Zhang Shusheng is doing is actually learning from the Germans, even if it is a border war, since it is going to be fought, first knock out your air force, seize partial temporary air supremacy, and grasp the initiative on the battlefield.

Whoever is conservative loses at the beginning.

"Let the Chief of General Staff Chiang come over, and let's discuss this plan again, I think it is very executable."

Zhang Shusheng said with a smile, and almost approved of this plan in his heart-
