Dong Ku is delineating mineral deposits here, preparing for oil wells, but the bearded man is in a mess. He estimated the losses of the retreat, but he did not want to fight, most of the combat strength was left there, less than a third of the withdrawal, and the number of baggage losses was quite huge.

He did not lose control, and looking at the message of Meretskov, the most truly wise person in Baku, he suddenly calmed down.

Gorelenko's body was sent to Atyrau by enemy troops, and the message said that Gorelenko's body was cut in two, separated from the top and bottom of the crotch, but he still held a weapon in his hand, and it was a weapon with empty bullets. This shows that Gorelenko fought until he ran out of ammunition and food, until he died. The corpses sent by the enemy were extremely respectful, the dead carried stretchers, the standard military posture, parting, all saluted with brushes, and returned the body with the highest honor of the soldiers, and the body was wrapped in Gorelenko's military flag, which shows that the earth felt absolutely did not mean to blaspheme Gorelenko, but respect.

The bearded man looked at the telegram, looked at the description, he looked up and said: "Our soldiers did not surrender, our generals died in battle, our country did not lose, with them, the country will not lose." ”

"Yes, Comrade Stalin!"

Timoshenko stood up, his shiny head glistening.

"With such a Jing army, with such soldiers, we will not lose!"

Beria also stood up and said, the gaze behind the spectacle lenses extremely determined.

The bearded man retracted his gaze, held up the telegram and said: "At present, we can't keep up with the movement of the enemy troops, their tanks are more advanced than ours, according to the report from Baku, after the tanks and some wreckage arrived, it has been proven that our T33 cannot move their armor." The smelting of steel and the integrated casting of turrets are all techniques that are not available in the world at present. If you want to study and understand, it is difficult to succeed without a few months, and it will take more than half a year for mass production, which means that we have to imitate it to form combat effectiveness. It takes five or six months, or even a year. ”

"The wreckage of the enemy's aircraft was also transported to Kirov, and according to the shape of the disassembled and put together, this is the latest type of aircraft, a kind of aircraft that takes off straight up and down, although their artillery system is gone, but according to the information of the battlefield, their on-board weapons can destroy tanks, which illustrates. Their onboard armament is a cannon, not a gun. This research can be mass-produced in half a year at most, and it is enough to solve their engines and fire systems, and it is not difficult to produce the casing as it is. ”

"Based on these two points, we are currently defeated, but we cannot counterattack, there is no weapon to compete with the opponent's weapons, and the counterattack is also a waste of money and labor. It's also an increase in casualties, let's talk about it. What should we do? ”

Timoshenko looked around and saw that no one spoke, so he spoke first: "I don't think that either the gap in weapons or the current situation is suitable for counterattack. The enemy's attack is fast. But there is a drawback, the supply line will be extended, they will have to transport supplies from Mongolia, the battle line is too long, so. As long as the rearmost line of defense was held, that is, along the Ural River and the western coast of the Caspian Sea, the enemy's offensive would not last long. Another point, the severe cold is coming soon, according to the season, that is, during this half a month, the severe cold will make it more difficult for the opponent's supply delivery, and the attack will increase the difficulty, so as long as we hold the defensive line, we can get a winter buffer, and after the beginning of spring, our new weapons will basically be installed, and by then, the counterattack will also be sufficiently prepared. ”

After Timoshenko finished speaking, Beria took over and said: "Defense, my brother thinks that Comrade Timoshenko's point of view is very correct, but I have one thing to add. ”

Seeing everyone's eyes turned to him, Beria paused and continued: "I think that the severe cold is not as suitable for the enemy army as we are, and when the cold comes, if the enemy does not attack, we can launch a counteroffensive to test the enemy's winter combat ability, so that the enemy's strength will not accumulate steadily, and they will not be fully prepared with supplies." ”

His voice fell, and the bearded man relaxed the telegram in his hand and said: "I don't think a winter counterattack is feasible, the enemy has fought them for two consecutive winters, and we have not won a single victory, and this time it is a great defeat. The climate in Heilongjiang is similar to that here, and their ability to fight in winter is not weak, so there is no need to be tempted, but I think Comrade Timoshenko's statement is correct, we need time, hold the defensive line, win time, and produce new weapons that are close to the performance of the enemy's weapons, so that such a counterattack can be assured. In addition, the study of the wreckage of the enemy's guns obtained on the battlefield has entered the stage of determining the most difficult data, and the stunter rifles, and their submachine guns, we will be able to develop samples in two months at most, although they will not catch up with them, but they can eliminate the current Mogan. ”

The bearded man's words silenced the people who had the idea of counterattacking like Beria, and they all looked at the bearded man, waiting for his decision.

The bearded man picked up the telegram again and said: "War needs heroes, we do not have living combat heroes for the time being, but there are sacrificed Comrade Gorelenko, his indomitable spirit will make the demoralized soldiers of antiquities more resolute, defend our last line of defense, and buy time for the counterattack." ”

Only then did everyone understand why the bearded man kept picking up the message. Heroes, at some point in need, need such a figure, although Gorelenko was sent back by the enemy, but the population and soldiers did not know. The telegram explained in detail that after receiving the request, Meretskov immediately ordered the politically conscious general to be sent to pick up the body, and the soldiers did not participate, so the outside world did not know that Gorelenko was sent back by the enemy.

Seeing that everyone had no opinion, the bearded man burned the telegram and ordered: "Order Meretskov to carry out propaganda on Gorelenko's heroic deeds, send a telegram to the whole country, organize activities to learn from Gorelenko, and quickly strengthen the construction of the most rearly line!" ”

With the order of the bearded man, the defeated Soviet Russia began a campaign to create heroes, and Gorelenko also became a household name in Soviet Russia, although he died, he fought to the last moment, fighting with the soldiers until the end of his life, this spirit greatly boosted the morale of the Russian army, so that the construction of the defense line on the Ural River was faster and of higher quality.

Propaganda made Baku and the Caucasus region, where the morale of the Russian army was greatly restored by the air raids, and they were all busy trying to defend their homeland and learn from the hero Gorelenko.

The movement over there was quickly learned by Dong Ku, who looked at the deciphered message and smiled dumbly. The bearded man is good at sports, this set is really familiar, a corpse was actually used by him, and it was also very popular.

All right! I'll send you a few more corpses if I'm willing!

Dong Ku muttered to himself, burned the telegram, and ignored it.

In the course of a day, the army spilled, the enemy retreated and threw all the materials along the way were collected, and the helicopter found piles of materials along the traces that had not been blown flat by the wind, and the corpses that were not cleaned up after the battle.

In Central Asia, Turkestan is full of piles of flames, puffs of smoke waft in the wind, and the choking smell can be smelled more than ten kilometers away.

How many materials have been seized has not been counted for the time being, and the weapons alone have exceeded estimates. These weapons are too bulky to be scraped back to the furnace to make steel, and there are not many that can be used, they are just things to give away.

Dong Ku's generosity made Liu Ruicheng think about the loser, but he also knew the obsession in Dong Ku's heart. Although he didn't understand, he would never stop him. It's all drizzle, those minerals, those oil fields, that's the eternal wealth. He saw more than 100 marks on the map, which are far richer than the well-known large mines in China, so he spared no effort to mobilize all his efforts to speed up the delivery of weapons to the back, to transport back materials to this place, to speed up the construction of the oil refinery in Oskemen, and to plan various mineral smelting and processing plants near Tashkent, preparing to build this area into an industrial chain dominated by industry.

At this time, the bearded man was very satisfied with the reaction below, knowing that it was not ordinary for the enemy to fight the Ural River, but he did not know that the purpose of Dong Ku had been achieved, and he would not attack again. What he has is time to prepare, and if he doesn't attack, it means that Dong Ku will also complete the defense here in the winter, and it is not too possible for him to counterattack.

This will, the heart is up and down Lao Jiang. He has already received Gu Zhutong's report, the advance army is constantly pulling trucks of supplies along Zhangjiakou, and there are cannons behind the trucks, all kinds of calibers, and a batch of tanks poured into Hebei and went straight to Shandong.

According to the report, those weapons were all produced by Soviet Russia, and apparently they were not sent or sold by Soviet Russia, but were seized. He already knew that the advance army had reached the Caspian Sea, that the advance army had recovered all of Siberia, even Vladivostok, and that these should be trophies.

The reason for his apprehension was the fear that these weapons would not be used by the advance party himself, but by his enemies. If that were the case, he would be much weaker.

He was restless, but in the end, he asked his wife to go out and rush to the United States in person to negotiate with Roosevelt and buy weapons to ensure that his regime would not be overthrown.

As long as the United States is willing to help him, he believes that he can be sure that even the advance army will be victorious. Even if the advance force is gaining momentum now, the weapons of the United States are advanced enough to compete with them.

Dong Ku didn't know that his act of sending weapons and ammunition made Lao Jiang so uneasy, but he didn't have the heart to deal with this, he wanted to consolidate Central Asia and Siberia as soon as possible, so that he could go back and clean up these Japanese jackals (to be continued......
