Chapter 201

Chuikov didn't even think about the password being mastered, and could only lament his fate. How did the Chinese actually launch a general offensive at the time of the harsh winter? You must know that Siberia at this time is already more than 20 degrees, and it is not ordinary difficulty to launch an attack in this weather.

At this point, it was only necessary to rush to the battle, reduce the losses to a minimum, and at the same time hope that Moscow would not get itself back for coffee. Chuikov ordered the besieged troops to break through on their own, symbolically dispatched an infantry corps to attack along the Trans-Siberian Railway, and asked the infantry corps to take the initiative to stop once it encountered stubborn resistance. All in all, it is a confession, and the total time for the Chinese to initiate is too tricky. Just before he was ready to fight back and was not fully prepared, a massive and violent attack. With the cooperation of the air force, the mechanized units were interspersed and divided in a roundabout way, and the Chinese air force played an important role, carrying out key bombing against the possible assembly areas of the Soviet army. Chuikov sent out all the 1,000 fighters that had been accumulated one after another, but the surnames of these old combat planes were too poor, and in the course of a week's continuous air battle, they were once again consumed, and the result was only to shoot down less than 100 planes of the opponent. More than half of them were bombers, and the Chinese Mustang fighters had a huge advantage over the Soviet Il-16 fighters.

While Chuikov was painfully supporting the situation in Siberia, Zhukov's experience was not much better, and he didn't look forward to a Siberian counterattack, in order to drag the squadron, the suicidal counterattack under the city of Samarkand, and the last trump card was forgotten, and Vonay's Soviet army only held out for six days before it was conquered by the squadron. There was also bad news from the 63rd Infantry Corps, where the Chinese paratrooper units, with the support of the Air Force, crossed the Amu Darya River in one fell swoop and captured Urgench. Petrovsky was forced to retreat, fighting and retreating, and finally gained a foothold in Kunus after receiving follow-up troops, but was unable to launch a counterattack. A railway line to the Caspian Sea was completely cut off, and Zhukov had to get domestic reinforcements only through Turkmenistan, and this railway line had to go around in a big circle and make a big turn, which was obviously not as convenient as the direct railway to Atyrau and Aktau.

Looking at the Sino-Soviet war situation at this time, the two important battlefields have been hit hard, and Moscow began to realize that the direction of the war is developing in a direction that it does not want to see, once it is freed up by the squadron in Central Asia, after completely solving the problem of Tashkent, it will be able to go north along the railway to Petropavl and Omsk. It is even possible to bypass the Caspian Sea directly and kill the hinterland of the Soviet Union, as long as Atyrau is taken, the Ural industrial zone is in sight.

The problems exposed by the two major battlefields are almost identical, the equipment is backward, this is already being solved, the deal with the Germans is going on in secret, Stalin demanded that at least 1,500 new fighters and 1,000 tanks be obtained from Germany within six months, and the military industry department is required to come up with prototypes of new fighters as much as possible. In particular, the number of new aircraft lost in the fighting between the two major battlefields in the past two months or so exceeded 5,000, which fully exposed the backwardness of the Soviet fighters.

There is also a problem, the beard is dead or alive and dead, but he is actually correcting it. That is the ** brought to the army by the expansion of the anti-rebellion, the five million Soviet Red Army, the lack of experienced officers in Yanzhòng, which is really unimaginable for the Soviet army that has experienced the civil war and the war of anti-imperialist intervention and the Soviet-Polish war.

Yanjing, the study of the presidential palace, there are many people who enter and leave the presidential palace every day, but there is probably only one Jiang Fangzhen who can walk into Fang Jianxiong's study by himself without being led by anyone and is unimpeded.

Jiang Fangzhen, who died in 38 years in parallel history, is still alive and well in this time and space. It can be seen that history has been completely messed up.

"Supporting the country, Gao Sheng called, asking the logistics to increase the medicine for frostbite, although this large-scale war of annihilation is basically a foregone conclusion, but a heavy snow is too hateful, and the Soviet army of 100,000 people is released. In particular, the mechanized units of the Soviet army ran away from at least two mechanized infantry brigades. Fighting in the bitter cold, the number of non-combat attrition of our army reached more than 30,000, mainly frostbite. Now the logistics department has opened a special channel to transport the wounded to the rear in every possible way. I decided to take it upon myself to go to the Northeast to comfort the wounded who had been sent down. ”

Fang Jianxiong only knew about this matter, and he was also very concerned about it, so he got up and poured Jiang Fangzhen a cup of tea and said, "Baili, let's go with mine." In addition, telegrams were sent to Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Qinzhou that 1,500 C-47 transport planes purchased from the United States would arrive by the end of the year, so that the air force would fly to Siberia to help transport the wounded. As for the paratrooper division, hold on for a while longer, and first use the old domestically produced transport aircraft to continue to hold on for a while. Speaking of this matter, I am also responsible, when I was purchasing the C-47, I was not resolute enough, and it was not until the fight that I found out that the old domestic transport aircraft could not be compared with the C-47 at all. The Americans still have a considerable technological lead in this regard, and our human resources are limited, mainly concentrated in fighter aircraft, resulting in a lack in this regard. ”

"Fuguo, you don't have to go, right? Yanjing can't do it without you! Recently, the opposition party has been in ** again, shouting anti-monopoly and anti-trust all day long. I heard that some small parties also instigated workers' strikes. Jiang Fangzhen still seems a little lacking in confidence in the overall situation.

Fang Jianxiong smiled and waved his hand: "I have to go, I also plan to take Alice with me." Show the Americans my attitude, and at this juncture, I am afraid that the Americans will be angry and make trouble for me. ”

Jiang Fangzhen said: "You're talking about your American father-in-law coming to China, right?" Fang Jianxiong nodded and said, "I still know his intention, haven't I seen him yet." Just take this opportunity to go to the Northeast and hide for a while. According to the latest intelligence, the Combined Fleet of the Navy's United Fleet is going to fight a decisive battle with the US Pacific Fleet. Let's wait for the results of this decisive battle to come out, hehe, let me teach me a lesson to the United States, which has no one in sight. ”

"On the European side, the NSA has provided the latest intelligence that the transport lines in the Atlantic are not lightly packed by German submarines, and the German Navy has not yet dispatched the Bismarck, relying on submarines alone to sink million-ton cargo ships every month. Although the United States has a strong shipbuilding capacity, it cannot afford to hurt if this situation does not change. Jiang Fangzhen's gloating tone is rare, which shows that he has no good feelings for Britain and the United States. This is the result of being deeply influenced by Fang Jianxiong and being instilled with Fang's great power theory for a long time.

"Don't look at the strong industrial capacity of the United States, as long as Germany does not have to fight on two fronts, the United States will not dare to launch the European landing plan lightly. At present, the main strategy of the United States is to keep Britain, and this is not difficult to do. Germany don't look at the Sea Lion plan, in fact, this plan is very unrealistic, the German navy is too poor, even if it gets the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, it is not capable of guaranteeing the ability of a million troops to cross the English Channel. Not to mention that now that the United States is in the war, as long as the air strangulation does not achieve the desired goal, Germany will turn its attention elsewhere. Fang Jianxiong was very methodical in his analysis, and Jiang Fangzhen was also an expert, of course he could understand what he meant, so he walked directly to the map and raised his hand to point to Africa.

"There are two main battlefields of the next two major military groups, one is Africa, Mussolini has never wanted Germany to get involved in Africa, but the Italian army is too bad, planes, artillery, tanks, poison gas bombs are used, and a group of African natives have not been beaten. It was even more vulnerable to the British army, and seeing that it was about to be driven into the sea by the British army, he hurriedly begged Germany to send troops. The second battlefield should be the Pacific theater, and the British want to hold India, which is the bottom line. He said that he would definitely not fight India until he defeated the US Pacific Fleet. However, once Ben fights with the US Navy, this cannot be a short-term war. Unless the Navy has the ability to render the U.S. Pacific Fleet incapacitated in a decisive battle. ”

While the two were discussing the battle situation in the study, Fisher was talking to his daughter in Alice's room. Alice, whose belly is slightly bulging again, is now preparing to give birth to her third child. The first two gave birth to a son and a daughter, the youngest of whom was eight years old and in elementary school. Interestingly, Alice, who hails from the Western world, seems to prefer this lifestyle of being at home with children to other women in someone's backyard. The others are now showing up outside all day long, some are busy with business, some are busy with women's sports, and even Qiu Ju has partnered with Dou Qingmei to open several stores.

"I will not interfere in his work, and now my main task is to have children." Alice's attitude was very clear, and she did not give Fisher face at all. He didn't even want to pick up the phone and tell Fang Jianxiong to come back and see her.

When Fisher was extremely disappointed, the phone rang, Alice picked up the phone, and heard Fang Jianxiong's voice: "I'm going to the northeast to visit the wounded soldiers, you prepare and go together." Fisher, who pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, immediately spoke: "I'll go too." ”

Alice glanced at her father speechlessly, and said in a low voice: "Daddy is here, and he also wants to go to the Northeast with him." ”

Fang Jianxiong, who knew well, replied: "Then let's go together, we really need to have a good talk." ”

After making a few phone calls and briefly explaining some things, all aspects were prepared.

This trip, as before, without fanfare, under the escort of four Mustang fighters, a special plane modified by **-17 took off from Yanjing Airport, and the target was Harbin in the northeast. This place is currently the location of the largest rear hospital of the Far Eastern Front, and an important core station of the original Eastern Railway. In order to fight a war with the Soviet Union, Fang Jianxiong was really deliberate, and so far the Middle East Road and the Trans-Siberian Railway section have adopted the Russian system. There is also a factory in Harbin that specializes in the production of Russian-made machine heads, and this preparation now seems to be worth it.

When he arrived at the parking lot, Fisher saw Fang Jianxiong standing in front of the car waiting, and when he saw him coming, he didn't care, and went straight over to help Alice and said, "I shouldn't have let you work hard, but I think those injured soldiers will heal faster when they see you holding your stomach." Alice smiled slightly, glanced at her man and said, "I'm fine, but you, you haven't slept more than four hours a day recently, so it's not okay to spend a long time." ”

"It's okay, nothing has changed in the two battles, and you can't run away with a big victory. It is a pity that Gao Sheng reported that it was snowing again in Siberia, and the army could not pursue it quickly, so the Soviet army ran away with more than 100,000 people. Now the remnants of the Soviet army are slowly encircled and suppressed, and the whole battle situation will stabilize in a week at most. I'll be able to get a good night's sleep tonight. Fang Jianxiong said this, in fact, he said it to Fisher, and this old guy also knew, so he quickly whispered to the secretary next to him.

After the group got into the car, there was one less person around Fisher, and Fang Jianxiong didn't see it, so he invited Fisher to get into his car and go to the airport together. "You don't have to go to the Northeast, go back and tell Franklin's dead cripple that you don't expect China to join the Allies before the end of this year, and that it will be over next spring at the earliest. Without adequate assistance, we simply cannot afford to take care of two fronts. The mode of modern warfare is already clear to the US side, which consumes a huge amount of ammunition every day. By the way, remember to tell Roosevelt that I had a secret weapon that was specifically designed against submarines. If you want, take a thousand C-47s, a thousand **-29 in exchange. ”

"Do you mean that the United States should use trade to secretly aid China now?" Fisher really knew Fang Jianxiong too well, and went directly to the essence of the problem. Fang Jianxiong smiled slightly with satisfaction: "I am worthy of being my own person, I know everything very clearly in my heart." ”

"In that case, I need an accurate time to convince Franklin." Fisher is also not a vegetarian and bites this bottom line. Fang Jianxiong shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and silently calculated in his heart how long it would take for the United Fleet and the US Pacific Fleet to fight each other before he spoke: "If it's fast, it's March next year, and if it's slow, it's June next year." In other words, China will join the alliance by June 30 next year. But there is a premise, when you get off the bus at the airport, you will get a list, and all the materials on the list must be shipped from the United States within four months, and they must be transported by Chinese ships or ships flying Chinese flags. The specific inventory is the responsibility of Merlot Bank, and Merlot Bank's assets in China are used as security. ”

When the car arrived at the airport, seeing Fang Jianxiong's special plane disappear into the sky under the escort of four Mustang fighters, Fisher got a list of aid supplies from a person dressed as a secretary, and when he opened it, he felt that the root of his tooth hurt. This is really a lion's big mouth, 30,000 tons of aviation aluminum, 5,000 P-39s,......。 "How do I go back and tell the president?" Fisher looked up to the sky and sighed, and after a glance at the secretary beside him, he smiled: "You have done your duty!" ”

Fang Jianxiong, who was on the plane, had no doubts that the United States would agree to his harsh demands, for the simple reason that it was based on two pieces of intelligence. The first is that Rommel has landed in Africa, and he brought three armored divisions, but he is not the Rommel who is short of major generals in history, and it must be a bargain to clean up the British army. There were no worries about the war against the Soviet Union, plus Libyan oil, Hitler was willing to put it in for the sake of the oil coffin, not to mention the three mechanized divisions. Without the restrictions of oil, Hitler could have built more tanks and planes than ever before, so that Britain and the United States would have a headache and shed blood. The second reason is that the US military, which has been at peace for decades, will definitely not be able to take advantage of the US Navy when it encounters a navy with the surname of a wolf who gambles on the fortunes of the country at every turn. In particular, the Zero fighter appeared in advance this time and space, and the best fighter of the US military is now only the P-40, and there is only one trick for this thing to deal with the Zero, diving! Now this trick has not yet come out, and the Yankees have to suffer. When the U.S. military is hurt by the army, it is time to beg China.

It was already dark when the plane landed on Hal Ice, and Gao Sheng personally greeted him at the airport. When shaking hands after saluting, Gao Sheng sneered and took a cool breath, and was about to recycle Fang Jianxiong's hand, and looked at it carefully, there were several chilblains on the knuckles of his fingers, and there were still a few cracks on his palms.

"You are still like this, and the soldiers who are fighting fiercely ahead are even more difficult." Fang Jianxiong sighed, and Gao Sheng said with a smile: "The brothers are holding back their strength to clean up their hair, this bit of suffering is nothing." This battle was able to win smoothly, thanks to Duan Feng's timely logistics, the quality of winter clothes was excellent, and each person also had an eiderdown sleeping bag, which was much stronger than before. ”

"Hmph, that's what you know, and how much you don't know. In Anhui alone, 16 businessmen were shot to death, and the whole country killed more than 50 businessmen who were engaged in military quartermastering in one go. "What Fang Jianxiong said is not complete, in fact, these businessmen can get military orders, which has a lot to do with some officers of the General Logistics Department. The merchants killed more than fifty, and the officers of the general rear also killed a dozen, including a second-class student of the teaching team. In short, if you catch a piece of evidence, you will kill one.

Gao Sheng took out a telegram from his jacket pocket: "The secret telegram from the General Staff Department, the telegram from the Central Asian General Headquarters." Fang Jianxiong glanced at the telegram, it had not been decoded, and handed it to the secretary beside him, and then met with a cadre of military and political officials politely, and before getting into the car, the telegram was translated, Fang Jianxiong glanced at it and said to Gao Sheng: "You see, tell me what you think." ”

After Gao Sheng looked at it, he said: "The Soviet army in Samarkand is very tenacious, and it has no intention of giving up the city defense. I don't think this is surprising, with the existing equipment of the Soviet army, in the case of losing air supremacy, there are not enough blocking troops, so Zhukov will not dare to retreat like this. In terms of speed, you can't get rid of the pursuit of mechanized troops at all! ”

This view is still very insightful, Fang Jianxiong, who had already seen Moscow's order to Zhukov, was noncommittal and carried Alice into the car. (To be continued.) )
