Chapter 55 A Ten-Year Army Plan? Or fifteen years?
Chapter 55 Ten-Year Army Building Plan? Or fifteen years?
"Stalin, who is a strong-hearted man with a broken wrist, is really not so easy to deal with." Fang Jianxiong, who was holding a real battle report in his hand, was a little regretful that he couldn't get rid of the beard, which was really a disappointing result. Judging from the course of history, Stalin was really a mess of a cow, and he was shameless enough to be black-skinned!
Historically, the Soviet army marched into the northeast to eliminate the Kwantung Army, although it did not stay in the northeast for a long time, but it did many bad things. The three northeastern provinces have been scraped a layer of land, and the essence of Lao Maozi's chauvinism of a great country is fully revealed.
The results of this battle were not small, the Soviet troops who fled back to Petropavlovsk were less than 200,000, and the heavy weapons were lost. The Soviet army suffered unprecedented heavy losses, and the key to achieving this result was not the heroic fighting of the volunteers, but air supremacy. In fact, when the Soviet army arrived on the banks of the Ob River, the ammunition supply was already in a very dangerous state. The reason is, of course, that in the special geographical environment of Siberia, the railway was bombed incessantly, and the transportation was not smooth. In the process of the Soviet army's march, its baggage was taken care of by the air force.
The biggest characteristic of modern warfare is that the amount of logistical consumption is huge, and the better the equipment, the greater the logistical pressure. The Soviet army did not have air supremacy, so it could only be bombed. The special geographical environment of Siberia makes road transportation extremely difficult. From another point of view, Frunze was overconfident before the war, did not have enough hard estimation of difficulties, and had no understanding of the combat effectiveness of the air force.
From an objective point of view, this is a special case, and it does not correctly reflect the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army.
After a long pursuit to Omsk, the volunteers entered the city without firing a shot. This was the result of the Soviet army's voluntary retreat, and it was also the trough of the volunteer's spirit. Qi Zhenghong was still very calm, and had no intention of continuing the pursuit, but ordered the coalition forces to organize a defense on the spot. After telegraphing the results of the battle to China, Qi Zhenghong asked the troops to sum up their combat experience. Report to the Military Council.
The entire campaign lasted thirty-three days. The Volunteer Army lost 22 aircraft and four pilots. The ground forces suffered 20,000 casualties, of which more than 8,000 were killed. In the course of the whole campaign, the air force exerted great power, whether it was bombing to delay the advance of the Soviet army, or strangling the Soviet army's logistics supply line, the later pursuit was even more powerful.
Of course, the consumption of the Air Force is no less enormous. If it had not been for the adequate preparations made in advance and the large amount of supplies stored in Irkutsk, the volunteer army would still have a logistical situation after this battle.
In fact, when it reached Omsk, there were few bullets left in the chambers of the vanguard of the Volunteer Army, and the artillery was thrown hundreds of kilometers behind. The reason is simple. The shells ran out, and in order to pursue the Soviet troops at full speed, the vanguard even threw away dry rations. It will take time to repair the damaged Trans-Siberian Railway, weapons such as heavy artillery, which are still five hundred kilometers away.
This is a very real problem, and Qi Zhenghong emphasized logistics in his summary report. And not the results. During the pursuit, for the last two hundred kilometers, the main means of transport of the volunteers was bicycles.
Another important point of the summary report is the tenacity of the Soviet army, which is often extremely resolute in fighting after the break. The closer you get to Omsk. The stronger the will to fight. Because of this, the entire pursuit took 15 days. When I chased it and entered Omsk, I saw an empty city and all the warehouses of Soviet supplies. All were burned.
The Soviets may not be popular with the people of Omsk, and the White Russians are not much better.
A knock on the door interrupted Fang Jianxiong's musings. glanced up at Alice, who had quietly pushed the door in.
"That Russian is flying and coming again, and this is the twenty-fifth time this month." When Alice talked about this, she felt a little sympathy for the Soviet man and admired his firmness.
"Let him go back, just say that now is not the time to see him." Fang Jianxiong shook his head, Alice smiled a little helplessly, and did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he stepped forward to make a cup of tea for Fang Jianxiong, and then said: "The representative of Boeing has arrived in Beijing, when will I have time to meet with him?" β
"Well, I want to meet, you can arrange it. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Fang Jianxiong smiled and patted Alice's buttocks, and the girl twisted her waist very cooperatively, throwing a wink. Fang Jianxiong picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Fangzhen's office: "Baili, I have read the ten-year plan of the National Defense Force for you and Runnong, which is very good. Find a time, let's have a good meeting and discuss, and call Shangsongpa and Runnong. β
Jiang Fangzhen smiled on the phone: "Don't look for time, right now, Songpa and Runnong happen to be there, and we'll go over now." After speaking, he didn't wait for Fang Jianxiong to agree, and hung up the phone directly. Fang Jianxiong held the microphone with a wry smile on his face, this Jiang Baili.
This 10-year plan for the National Defense Force was a fortuitous opportunity, and Fang Jianxiong mentioned some of his summaries of the war in Europe and some ideas for building the National Defense Army after combining them with the actual situation in China. He also put forward the view that the next war will inevitably be a war in which the whole nation is engaged, from which the theory of state politics serving the survival of the nation is derived. These theories come from the book General War, which I vaguely remember. In fact, it is a very vague concept, but after Jiang Fangzhen heard about it, he immediately remembered it, and pulled Zhang Xiaohuai together to come up with a ten-year construction plan for the national defense army.
Fortunately, Fang Jianxiong did not pervert to remember the book of the overall battle that he read casually back then, otherwise he would have plagiarized it directly. Even so, it also opened a window for Jiang Fangzhen and Zhang Xiaohuai, two military talents. Especially under the influence of the European war and the Siberian campaign, Jiang Fangzhen keenly put forward the new tactical idea of the integration of air and ground.
A cow man is a cow man, and in terms of summarizing and exploring military theories, Jiang Fangzhen can throw off someone several streets. Zhang Xiaohuai, who is in charge of army construction, is not a vegetarian, and these two people together, plus a Cai Yi with rich practical combat experience, constitute the three pillars of the national defense army. Of course, there is no doubt that Fang is the spiritual leader of the Wehrmacht, and this is irreplaceable.
Jiang Fangzhen and the other three came quickly, and pushed the door in less than ten minutes. Fang Jianxiong happened to be dealing with a document here, and when he saw the three of them arriving together, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and put down the work in his hand.
"I said, you three, why are you in such a hurry? This is a ten-year plan, not an overnight event. β
"Fuguo, the three of us have discussed it several times in the past few days, and we all agree that the conclusions you have drawn in combination with the war in Europe have great derivative value. We agreed that the next world war would be bigger and probably longer. Jiang Fangzhen didn't wait to sit down to express his opinion, Cai Yi nodded in agreement: "Baili is right, the most profound point about the war in Europe is that the huge industrial capacity of the European powers directly led to the change in the mode of war. Judging from the fact that hundreds of German companies are willing to cooperate in China, the Germans will certainly seek to rearm in the next decade. The Treaty of Versailles humiliated the Germans, who were seeking a humiliation from top to bottom, and the next world war would not be too long. We need to prepare early. β
"Fuguo, I have a report on last year's military production here, you should have read it too. According to the current military-industrial capacity, it will meet the equipment of up to ten infantry divisions per year. Judging by the rate of attrition of the war in Europe, assuming that the war broke out in 40 years, it is necessary to reserve at least 200 infantry divisions. Otherwise, in the initial stage of the war, it would have been impossible to achieve the goal of mobilizing to a total of 5 million troops within half a year. In other words, the plan for the next 10 years is based on this goal. Now it seems that our military production capacity is far from meeting this standard. This leads to the conclusion that the government must tilt its policy towards heavy industry. Zhang Xiaohuai spoke directly with a number of jΓΉ, and his dissatisfaction with the status quo of the military industry was obvious, and he was not polite at all. The implication is that the arguments of some politicians who are now clamoring for huge military spending are simply nonsense.
"For the Siberian campaign, we began preparations half a year in advance, but judging from the results, including the air force and armored forces, the volunteer army was less than 200,000 people, but after hitting Omsk, the supply of the volunteer army could not keep up at all. Of course, there were equipment and supplies for Kolchak, but as far as the entire campaign was concerned, only the air force was engaged in high-intensity battles. The problem is that in this campaign, the Air Force spent half a year of ammunition and fuel in Irkutsk. There is nothing wrong with the thinking of the big air force, but the problems that come with it must attract our attention. As decision-makers, we have to prepare for the worst. Jiang Fangzhen added another knife, and Fang Jianxiong didn't even have a chance to interject.
It can be seen from this that during this time these three received a huge shock from the Siberian campaign. 500,000 Soviet troops came violently, but the result was a quick defeat. Why?
"Okay, three dudes, can you come up with a conclusion?" Fang Jianxiong did not have any dissatisfaction, but was secretly happy in his heart. Although they are traversers and have the halo of the protagonist on their heads, when it comes to practical operation ability, these three are big bulls.
Jiang Fangzhen took a step forward and said with a smile: "Fuguo, I think the plan for the establishment of the National Defense Force should be set in fifteen years. Among them, some adjustments should be made to the existing plan for the reorganization of 100 infantry divisions. β
Fang Jianxiong made a gesture of continuation and said, "Sit down and talk, it seems that the three of you have a clear idea." β
The three of them sat down separately, and Jiang Fangzhen said as a representative: "To support the country, first of all, we think that a hundred divisions do not need to be full at all, and thirty percent of the infantry divisions are enough. For the rest of the half-members, a shelf is enough. But there is one point, officers and non-commissioned officers must be two sets of teams. That is to say, one main position, with several more deputy positions, and in the event of a war, these deputy positions are the officers of the new unit after mobilization. The air force, armored troops, telecommunications, and anti-chemical warfare will all be the key targets of future development, and the technological arms will be most affected by the progress of technological development, so the 15-year plan is the most appropriate. β
Fang Jianxiong's mood can only be described in two words: convincing!
