Chapter 48: Control

At the headquarters of the National Defense Forces on Chess Street in Beijing, Deng Zixuan walked in in a military uniform. "Salute!" The officer on duty shouted. Commander-in-Chief Chen Jintang, Chief of the General Staff Pei Gejin,

Leng Yifei, commander of the middle lane cluster, Khalid, chief of staff, and Li Tianxiang, deputy commander, raised their hands and saluted. Leng Yifei and the others made a special trip to the capital to accept the new year's combat mission drawn up by the headquarters. Since the Eastern Front Army and the Western Front Army did not have combat missions this year, the commanders of the two major front armies did not appear in the capital.

Deng Zixuan returned the military salute and said straight to the point: "Immediately entering April, your middle lane cluster will start singing a one-man show." At present, Bai Sheng led his troops to the Tsushima Strait, eyeing the Japanese archipelago, so that the coalition forces were always on guard. He Meng is based in Urumqi and involves part of the Russian army's troops, and the entire strategic situation is very favorable to us, so we can concentrate our efforts and strike a little. In the next step, the central cluster will continue to implement the tactics of steady and steady fighting, and eat away at the Russian army step by step, and we will also have enough time to play a game of cat and mouse with the Russian army. ”

Deng Zixuan glanced at Pei Gejin, Pei Gejin willingly picked up the baton and walked to the huge map and said: "According to the plan of the headquarters, the central cluster plans to put 10 armies into battle, and 5 armies to rest and recuperate and serve as reserves. The General Headquarters has laid down the following combat tasks for this year: Cluster assault Liliang will penetrate deep into the Russian border from Kyakhta, then capture Ulan-Ude in the eastern part of Lake Belga, and then sweep eastward to capture Chita one after another, so as to capture the vast area west of the Green Ridge and then achieve its strategic objectives. ”

Pei Gejin continued: "According to comprehensive intelligence analysis, about 60,000 cavalry of the Russian army retreated into Russia. Due to the constraints of the conditions, there has been a large-scale westward transfer. Obviously, the cavalry unit is a special branch of the army. Its logistical supply is very large, and it can maintain the supply of one cavalry unit, which can meet the needs of two infantry divisions. At present, the Russian army has completely entered the defensive stage, and the cavalry, as an offensive force, cannot play a role for the Russian army for the time being, so the Russian army has transferred cavalry to increase the number of infantry. ”

Pei Gejin continued: "At present, we know that the Russian army has about 300,000 horses around Ulan-Ude. There are about 200,000 troops around Chita, and the total strength of the Russian army is 500,000 horses. After Pei Gejin finished speaking, he handed the baton to Chen Jintang. Chen Jintang stood up and walked to the map and pointed: "We use 10 armies and 400,000 horses to eat 500,000 Russian troops." How do you fight this zhang? In a word, it is to concentrate superior forces and destroy the enemy one by one. ”

"Our first step is to eat the 300,000 Russian troops of Ulan-Ude, which is a difficult bone to gnaw. Not only do you have to face brutal attacks. It is also necessary to face large-scale reinforcements from the Russian army. Attacking and interdicting is your core combat mission. If we eat the 30 Russian troops in Ulan-Ude, we can successfully intercept reinforcements from the east and west. Then it will be simple for Zuihou to solve the Russian army in Chita. "Commander, what if the Russian army chooses to flee north?" Khalid asked.

Deng Zixuan stood up and said: "It is impossible for the Russian army to flee to the north, the northern region is a wasteland and a Jedi, and the Russians know better than us that they will not kill themselves." But we also need to guard against the Russians taking risks. Let the Mongol cavalry divisions be regimental units, and after the start of the campaign, directly insert themselves into the area north of Ulan-Ude. This can effectively prevent the Russian army from escaping north. You remember, we don't just have to achieve strategic goals. It is also necessary to annihilate the Russian army, and both are indispensable. ”

Deng Zixuan continued: "The success of your central cluster is directly related to the entire strategic deployment and the next strategic step of the headquarters. You have 600,000 troops in the middle lane, and it shouldn't be a big problem to eat the 500,000 horses of the Russian army. However, the logistics supply can only meet the needs of 400,000 people in continuous operations, so it is said that your central cluster will invest 10 armies in the maximum number of operations. How to concentrate superior forces to annihilate the enemy's life, how to intercept the enemy's reinforcements with a small number of troops, and ensure the victory of the annihilation war is the most crucial, do you have confidence? ”

"Please rest assured that we will resolutely complete the task!" Leng Yifei, Khaled, and Li Tianxiang stepped forward and assured loudly. Deng Zixuan took out his pocket watch and glanced at it and said: "There is a meeting of the Academy of Science and Technology, I want to rush to participate, regarding the deployment of the campaign, the commander-in-chief and the chief of staff will make detailed arrangements." After Deng Zixuan finished speaking, the generals raised their hands and saluted, and watched Deng Zixuan leave, Chen Jintang's face became clear and said, "Do you have any questions, please ask?" ”

The carriage stopped in front of a palace and was greeted by Deng Qiang, director of the Science and Technology Commission, and Deng Yun, president of the Academy of Science and Technology. "President, everyone is waiting in the conference room." Deng Zixuan didn't squeak, and strode in. The large conference room was full of foreign faces, all of whom were scientists who had volunteered to serve the Empire. Seeing Deng Zixuan walk in, everyone stood up and saluted, and Deng Zixuan waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

Deng Zixuan looked around and said: "Gentlemen, history has entered the 90s, and a great and ever-changing era has begun. Let us put aside the factors of war, describe the future of mankind, and look forward to the development process of human civilization. Gentlemen, war is short, peace is a permanent theme. The Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation, and it is the great powers that impose war on us, so we must use the means of war to fight a new peace for the time being. ”

"Gentlemen, with the tremendous progress of science jishu, humanity will go beyond the age of steam and into the age of electrification. I believe that with the universal application of electricity, human industrial civilization will accelerate and form a blowout situation. All sorts of new things will emerge one after another. The relevant jishu that you are developing now will lead to the emergence of automobiles and airplanes in the future, and the dream of human beings to fly to the sky will be realized. Due to the secrecy involved in the military field, Deng Zixuan did not talk about tanks, combat vehicles, radio communications and other related topics.

Tang Zixuan continued: "This year, our wired phone team will conquer the wired phone jishu, which will make it easier to communicate between the two places. This year, we will drill an industrial oil well in Yumen, and at the same time, we have also made a breakthrough in petroleum smelting, and the comprehensive utilization of oil in the next step has also been studied. Soon we will build a modern steel plant in Shijingshan, a large steel plant in Baotou, and a non-ferrous metal base in Panzhihua, Sichuan. With the spread of electricity, our industrialization process will move beyond the age of steam and directly into the age of electrification??????。 ”

Standing at the height of the overall situation, Deng Zixuan comprehensively expounded the close relationship and brilliant picture of future science and industrialization, and made all the scientists present excited. After the meeting, Deng Zixuan, accompanied by Deng Qiang and Deng Yun, visited the wired telephone development team. Deng Qiang informed that wired telephones will strive to be used in the capital by the middle of this year and will be popularized on a large scale in the military. At present, there is no problem with wired telephone calls, but the noise is too loud, and if the interference problem is solved, it will be put into use immediately.

Deng Yundao: "President, our internal combustion engine Jishu is becoming mature, according to your instructions, the feasibility study of automobile engines, motorcycles, automobiles, and tractors has begun, and we have become a special scientific research team to tackle key problems collectively." Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, the water will come naturally, as long as the kung fu deep iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, I believe you will be able to succeed." Deng Qiang said: "President, at present, radio communication jishu is making rapid progress, but the signal transceiver produced is very complex and huge, and the next step is the problem of miniaturization, and our developers have encountered a lot of problems." ”

"As the saying goes, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb, I believe that you will succeed, and you must have confidence in yourself." Deng Zixuan is very satisfied, he knows in his heart that it is simply unrealistic to directly enter the diode era, because the bottleneck in the industrial field is currently in the state of jishu, and it is impossible to produce its components, so the tube stage cannot be omitted, even so, China's electronic field has quickly surpassed the West shijie and walked in the forefront.

Deng Zixuan finished discussing at the Science and Technology Institute, and it was already dark, so he hurried home because there were guests at home. Deng Zixuan entered the house and immediately instructed Wan'er to arrange wine and food to welcome the guests. Soon, Chen Jintang, Pei Gejin, and Leng Yifei arrived. The wine and food had already been placed on the table, Wan'er greeted everyone and said goodbye, she knew in her heart that the topics they were talking about at the wine table were military secrets, so Wan'er left with interest.

After the guest and host sat down, Chen Jintang teased: "Brother Leng, today the chief of staff and I borrowed your light, and the president is mainly to entertain you!" "Pei Gejin is also in line with the fight haha. Leng Yifei was a little restrained. Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Our brothers haven't drunk together for a long time, so today we will get drunk and drink him heartily." Now it's at home, don't be pretentious. After a few glasses of wine, the conversation box began to open.

Leng Yifei said: "One thing I don't understand, in the country we have fought with the Russian army several times, and it is not possible according to the opponent's combat effectiveness. But this time we captured Kulen very hard, I feel that the combat effectiveness of the Russian army has improved, this is weishenme I can't figure it out? Deng Zixuan pondered and said: "It seems that there is only one explanation, that is, the troops sent by the Russian army to China at the beginning were at best second- and third-rate troops, and he thought that if the second- and third-rate troops were eliminated, they would easily deal with us, and they would be completely underestimated by the enemy." ”

Deng Zixuan continued to analyze: "The Russian army eliminated the strong Khasacko cavalry and suffered heavy losses, so the Russians had to transfer the most elite troops in the country. What you encounter in Cullen may not be the most elite, but it also costs you. Therefore, the underestimation and pride on the battlefield are fatal, do not think that the Russians are easy to deal with, they also came out of the long campaign, they also regard death as home, and their will is tenacious. Remember that the Russians lay down their arms only in times of despair, and therefore cannot give them any hope. ”

The meal revolved around the war against Russia, and the topic was talked about until late at night. Deng Zixuan put forward many unfavorable factors and explained them, and at the same time, Deng Zixuan profoundly dissected the advantages and disadvantages of the Russians in connection with the war against Russia, and Leng Yifei was baptized again, which was of great significance to his future command of the war against Russia.
