Chapter 445: Upgrades (Asking for Subscriptions, Monthly Passes, and Various!! )
The Soviets did not expect that after they showed a tough attitude, Chen Feng would be so tough, and even threatened with force, Stalin was extremely angry, he felt that his authority was threatened, so Stalin ordered the local government in Siberia to immediately take back the ownership of the Tyumen oil fields, and at the same time close the Sino-Soviet railway, and prohibit the sale of oil to Chen Feng's department.
The 35th Mechanized Corps and the 59th Tank Division of the Soviet Far East Military District stationed in Mongolia also received orders from the Soviet Supreme Command and urgently drove to the border between southern Mongolia and China and Mongolia.
After receiving the order, Chen Feng immediately ordered the entire Saibei Province to immediately enter a wartime state, all personnel canceled all vacations, and the group wedding of senior officers who were being prepared was also forced to postpone. The 101st and 222nd Divisions, among the four major mechanized divisions in the Eighth Theater, also received orders to immediately go to the Second Company and assemble on standby. In addition, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Fighter Brigades of the Northern Air Force also received an urgent order to immediately transfer to the Sunit Right Banner and be ready to meet the attack of the Soviet Red Army at any time.
After more than half a year of army expansion, the total number of land forces in the Eighth Theater alone has exceeded 800,000, and there are also 60,000 air forces and 50,000 navies, not including the more than 30,000 army forces under the Nanyang Territory.
And the number of troops in the Soviet and Japanese armies is only seven or eight hundred thousand, not to mention that there are not more people than the number of people, otherwise China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression would not have lasted for eight years, and a population of 40,000 is enough to scare the Japanese. After several years of rapid development, the troops of the Eighth Theater have far surpassed the Japanese army in terms of individual soldier quality and weaponry. At the same time, it surpassed the Soviet troops.
At present, there are still only five group armies in the Eighth Theater, and each group army is still 86,000 people, but in addition to these five group armies, the Eighth Theater also has 10 integrated divisions, each of which has 43,000 people, all of which are expanded by the most elite infantry divisions of the whole army, and each integrated division consists of three mechanized infantry brigades, one armored brigade, and one artillery brigade, and each mechanized infantry brigade has two infantry regiments and one air defense regiment, each with 2,800 people. The division was armed with 18,000 AK assault rifles, 128 anti-aircraft machine guns, 370 sniper rifles, 1,200 submachine guns, and 480 light machine guns.
IN ADDITION, EACH INTEGRATED DIVISION IS EQUIPPED WITH 380 TANKS, 48 ARMORED VEHICLES, 448 AUTOMOBILES, 240 THREE-WHEELED MOTORCYCLES, 108 ARTILLERY PIECES OF CALIBER OF 100 MM OR MORE, AND 220 GUNS OF CALIBER OF LESS THAN 100 MM.
It can be said that each integrated division of the 8th theater of operations is a reinforced army. Its firepower was more than three times that of the Soviet Union's equivalent forces. It was five times the size of the Japanese army with the same strength.
In addition, the air force of the Eighth Theater is also far stronger than that of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union's Iraq-15 and 16, MiG-3, and MiG-5 are not opponents of the J-5 and J-6 at all, and a large group of J-5 and J-6 is enough to completely destroy two divisions of Iraq-style fighters. Coupled with the eighth theater of operations, there is also an artifact of land support - Wu Zhijiu, Wu Zhijiu plus the charge of armored troops is enough to completely destroy any enemy.
This time the Soviet army used only one mechanized infantry corps and one tank brigade. The total strength is only more than 50,000 people. Chen Feng sent nearly 100,000 troops. He wants to see if the Soviet Union can play a bird trick, and it's a big deal for everyone to fight on the Sino-Mongolian border, don't think that if you can blow up little Japan, you can ride to the head of the master.
Chen Feng's strength stunned everyone. Is this going to do that, is the one in the north really going to war with the Soviet Union? That's fucking crazy, isn't it?
Stalin didn't expect Chen Feng's reaction to be so fierce, when the Mongolian Wehrmacht saw a large number of Chinese troops on the border gathering, it frightened the Mongolian government, and the news from the front said that at least 100,000 troops were gathered, and they only had less than 10,000 people, as for the Soviet Union's 35th Mechanized Army and the 59th Tank Division were still on the way, they didn't expect the Chinese army to dare to confront them, plus they didn't receive a dead order, so they dragged on after receiving the order, The march speed is not much faster than that of a snail.
Stalin was shocked and angry, and the Chinese kid was too faceless to give him, did he really want to go to war with the Soviet Union? Although the Soviet Union was not afraid of Chen Feng's department, when the situation in Europe was changing, the Soviet Union was really unwilling to go to war with Chen Feng's department. More importantly, the Soviet Union had just fought with Finland in Northern Europe, and it turned out that the Soviet Red Army was still far from being invincible, with millions of Red Army casualties and German intervention, the Soviet Union barely took Finland, and the Soviet Red Army had not yet regained its combat effectiveness in just a few months.
Therefore, the Soviet Union also had some fears about the highly combat-effective troops in Chen Feng's hands, and if some troops were to be lost because of this, it would also be a threat to the national security of the Soviet Union.
Therefore, at the behest of the Soviet government, the Mongolian government immediately lodged a protest with the Nationalist Government against the wanton build-up of troops in the Eighth Theater on the Sino-Mongolian border, which was a serious provocation to the Mongolian Government.
Lao Jiang also had a headache about this matter, although he himself was also very angry about the peace between the Soviet Union and Japan, but he was helpless, when Chen Feng jumped out and sang against the Soviet Union, Lao Jiang was happy, and at the same time acquiesced to Chen Feng's approach, but when the matter was big, and even out of control, Lao Jiang was a little scared.
Japan alone almost caused the Nationalist Government to lose the party and the country, and if the Soviet Union also came in, then the problem would be big, and this is not to say that it is possible, but it will definitely destroy the party and the country.
But Lao Jiang also knew that his orders were the same as a stranger to that Admiral Chen, and they had no binding force, and if he wanted to listen to it, he didn't want to listen to it, and he was afraid that he wouldn't even look at it.
However, seeing that the situation in the north was escalating, Lao Jiang was also very anxious, and had no choice but to send a report to Kang Ze and ask him if he had any way to dissuade Chen Feng.
Kang Ze also has no way at all, he is only one of the many vice chairmen of Saibei Province, although he has a certain amount of real power, but he does not have any military power. After several years of infiltration, his power has penetrated into all corners of the Eighth War Zone, and a small number of secret agents have been secretly developed, but even he himself knows that this is not a threat to Chen Feng at all. The most important thing is that after working together for several years, Kang Ze has a certain understanding of Chen Feng's character, and he knows that the person who didn't make any decisions was deliberate, and it was easy not to make a decision, but once the decision was made, it was difficult to change, and it was difficult to dissuade him.
In desperation, Lao Jiang had no choice but to send a report to Chen Feng in person, asking him what he wanted to do, and if there was no idea of a direct war with the Soviet Union, then withdraw his troops. In addition, he also said bitterly that China can no longer withstand the toss.
But Chen Feng's recovery of Lao Jiang is also very simple, if the Soviet Union dares to provoke again, he doesn't mind fighting with the Soviet Union, who is powerful can only know after fighting. Moreover, Chen Feng asked Lao Jiang to leave this matter alone, and if the Soviet government asked again, it would be said that Saibei Province was a highly autonomous government, and many decisions of the Saibei Provincial Government were not processed. The central government, and therefore the provincial government of the northern part of the country, as well as the eighth theater of operations, make any decisions and in the medium. The central government has nothing to do with it.
In fact, the Nationalist Government's control over Saibei Province is indeed very weak, and if Chen Feng had not taken the initiative to cede one-third of the power, I am afraid that Lao Jiang would not even be able to pass on the order to Saibei.
After the telegram of the Nationalist Government reached Moscow, the Soviet Government urgently convened a joint meeting to discuss the matter. Some officers suggested a war with the 8th Theater of Operations, but as soon as this proposal was put forward, it was suppressed by the joint efforts of Lieutenant General Ivan and Admiral Zhukov, who were ordered to return home.
The two of them have seen the elite of the Eighth Theater, and they have great antipathy to fighting with Chen Feng's subordinates, and that Chinese general is a miracle, he can use a few thousand troops to dare to fight the Japanese, and he has killed the Japanese army-level command post many times in a row, and may even wipe out nearly 100,000 Japanese troops in one battle, these are real achievements, not blown, and fighting such an enemy is not a wise thing in itself.
In addition, Zhukov proposed that a strong number of diplomats should be dispatched to negotiate with Chen Feng's subordinates, and that no war should be started with the Eighth Theater of Operations under any circumstances, as it would be a disaster for them if a war broke out.
Zhukov's suggestion was quickly adopted by the Soviet government, and a team of foreign teachers led by Zhukov quickly set off from Moscow to Saibei Province to prepare for negotiations with Chen Feng's department. However, just when Zhukov and others were on the way, something suddenly happened at the front line, which cast a thick shadow on the negotiations that had not yet taken place! (To be continued......)
