Chapter 465: The Battle of Saiyin Shanda (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Tickets, Asking for Various !! )

As Chen Feng, who has experienced the oil and energy crisis in later generations, his understanding of oil and energy is far beyond that of people of this era. People in this era are not very dependent on oil, after all, this era is not as highly mechanized as the post-industrial era, so there is no energy crisis.

However, Chen Feng has experienced the oil and energy crisis in later generations, and in the absence or lack of it, the operation of society will be greatly hindered, and vehicles, ships, and planes will have no oil, resulting in paralysis of transportation; There was no oil in the boilers and heating furnaces, which led to the shutdown of the plant. Fuel oil is indispensable for most people. Oil is not only an ordinary commodity in people's daily lives, but also an extremely important strategic resource. Therefore, the safe supply of oil is not only related to people's normal life, but also related to a country's economic development and social stability.

Often, the security of oil supply is always intertwined with international political struggles, global strategic interests, and even social ideologies, human rights, ethno-religious conflicts and contradictions. If 30 percent of a country's oil resources are in the hands of others, it means that one's own safety is in the hands of others. In later generations, many countries stockpiled oil consumption for more than 9o days to ensure that a normal fuel supply could be maintained for a certain period of time in the event that sufficient oil could not be obtained from abroad due to war or other reasons.

As an army officer, or even a potential political leader, Chen Feng is not unaware of the importance of Ludao Oil. When the Eighth Theater began to implement the strategy of modernizing military mechanization, oil had become one of the strategic materials that Chen Feng had to obtain, so Chen Feng did not hesitate to use medicine as a bargaining chip. In exchange with the Soviet Union, he feared that one day his mechanized troops would be weaned.

However, the Soviets' approach made Chen Feng extremely angry, he and the Soviet Union secretly signed a mutual alliance agreement less than a month, the Soviet Union actually signed a neutrality treaty with Japan, in order not to provoke the Japanese, the Soviet Union actually set out to take back the Tyumen oil fields, and even annexed the Chen family's investment in the Tyumen region, which was a naked banditry, but also a betrayal of the allies. It is precisely because of this that Chen Feng will not give the Soviets any face, because their eating appearance is too ugly.

This also reflects a problem from another side. That is, the Soviets did not say that Chen Feng's subordinates were regarded as equal friends. In their eyes, Chen Feng was just a little brother who had to be attached to them, and it was oil that gave the Soviets arrogance and courage.

China is an oil-poor country, and this argument has been shouted for a century, although this argument is shouted by the Americans. But the Japanese believed. The Soviets also believed. Even the vast majority of Chinese believe it. Countries without oil should not mention any military mechanization, and without mechanized armies there can be no war, so the Soviets are arrogant. didn't even look at Chen Feng's subordinates.

With the experience of later generations, Chen Feng spared no effort to hoard fuel, especially aviation fuel, from the very beginning of the transaction between the two sides, because he was worried that one day the Soviet Union would wean him. He has no good impression of the Soviet Union and no trust at all, after all, Chen Feng has a clear understanding of the past and future of this country that quickly became a superpower after World War II. Don't think that having the largest land area in the world means that this country is also high-end, let alone that this country's political system is derived from Marxism and Lenin, and think that this country is a model of constitutional democracy.

Chen Feng did not believe in the Soviet Union not because of the Soviet Union itself, but because he did not believe in the current leader of the Soviet Union, Ren Stalin, who in Chen Feng's eyes was a dictator who swayed the will of the country with his own likes and dislikes. Although Stalin had great talent and perseverance. But the best outstanding feature of Stalin's personality was cruelty, without the slightest hint of sympathy and pity.

Chen Feng always believed that there would definitely be a war between him and Stalin, no matter how good and close the relationship between the two sides had been before. After a purge, Stalin established his absolute authority in the Soviet Union, and Stalin was an extremely strong man, in this respect Stalin and Chen Feng had a great similarity, Chen Feng did not think that he could live in peace with the bearded man.

Therefore, during the honeymoon period between the two sides, Chen Feng tried his best to hoard oil, but due to the limitations of production capacity and transportation, until the Soviet Union stopped supplying oil to the Eighth Theater, Chen Feng's troops only hoarded a total of 6 million tons of oil, and according to the calculation of oil consumption during the war in the Eighth Theater, 6 million tons of oil was only enough for the Eighth Theater for three months.

But Chen Feng still dared to go to war with the Soviet Union under such circumstances, and he also had his own hole cards. First of all, the construction of the Shenmu Oilfield has been completed four months ago, except for the installation of the derrick, other supporting facilities have been completed, and even the oil refining equipment has been installed properly, as long as necessary, it can quickly extract oil by itself and refine it.

In addition, the construction project of the Urad Qianqi oilfield is basically nearing completion, as long as Chen Feng gives an order, the two oilfields will soon be put into production, and the oil production equipment is exchanged by Chen Feng with points, and the daily output of crude oil is as high as more than 50,000 tons, which can basically meet the needs of the Eighth War Zone.

What's more, Chen Feng also has the secret weapon of the system, after communicating with the little fox, Chen Feng learned that there is this kind of strategic material that can also be exchanged through the system, and the price is not very expensive, 10,000 tons for a unit, each unit only needs 1000 points, and it is also refined oil, and there is no need for secondary refining.

Of course, it is not cost-effective to exchange points for oil in Chen Feng's opinion, after all, although this kind of thing is a very important strategic material, it is not a scarce commodity, and there are not many machinery and equipment that use oil in this era, so as far as the entire world is concerned, oil is in excess of demand.

But the system points are different, that thing is too difficult to earn, even if you kill an enemy major general, it is only 7 or 800 points, which is not enough for 10,000 tons of oil. And what is the concept of 10,000 tons of oil? Don't think 10,000 tons is an astronomical amount when you see it, in fact, 10,000 tons of oil is not a lot, take the B47 strategic bomber as an example, it will consume several hundred tons of oil to carry out a mission, and 10,000 tons of oil is not enough for a hundred strategic bombers to go out to perform a mission.

Although it cannot be used as a long-term supply channel. However, it is still very good as an emergency backup channel, which is also another important basis for Chen Feng to dare to start a war with the Soviet Union. Besides, Chen Feng didn't think that the Soviet Union would last long, as long as the Soviet Union showed a little weakness in the Far East, then the German mustache would definitely not let go of such a rare opportunity, and no matter what the situation was, Stalin would have to negotiate peace with him.

In fact, just as Chen Feng had predicted, the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army was beaten by his troops within a week, thousands of fighters were shot down, and more than 100,000 soldiers were killed or wounded.

After the 6.8 air battle, Chen Feng believed that the main force of the Soviet air force in the Far East was basically wiped out. Therefore. Beginning on 9 June, in addition to sending a small number of fighters to escort the escort, the Northern Air Force dispatched almost all bombers to launch a frenzied bombing campaign against the Soviet-Mongolian defense area. Meanwhile. Ground forces also stepped up their march towards Sainsanda.

June 11, 1940. The 8th Theater Guard Division, with the cooperation of the 2nd Army Aviation Brigade, arrived at Saiyin Shanda. And then launched a fierce attack on the Soviet-Mongolian forces in Sainshanda. With the cooperation of the Army Aviation Brigade, the performance of the mechanized unit of the Guard Division in Saiyin Shanda was a miracle.

Since the main force of this defensive operation was the First Red Banner Army of the Soviet Union, it was the command of the First Red Banner Army of the Soviet Union that was responsible for directing the operation on the front line of Sainshanda. The commander-in-chief was Lieutenant General Vasilyev of the 1st Red Banner Army. The First Red Banner Army was formed in the Far East in July 1938 and belonged to the Red Banner Far East Front, initially known as the Primordial 1st Army. The leading organs of the group armies were established on the basis of the leading organs of the Primordial Army cluster of the Red Banner Far Eastern Special Group Army. It contains all garrisons and local military command structures in the Ussuriysk region, Khabarovsk (Boli) and parts of the Primorsky region. The Military Council of the Army Group was also responsible for the operational command of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, and was a military group with the ability to strike jointly by the army, navy, and air force.

After the abolition of the Far Eastern Front, in accordance with the order of the People's Commissariat of Defense of September 4, 1938, the group army was reorganized into the 1st Red Banner Army, which was directly under the People's Commissariat of Defense of the USSR. Not so long ago, the Far Eastern Front was reorganized, and the army group was again brought into its formation, and in March 1945, it was incorporated into the Primorsky Army Group of the Front.

Although the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army deployed more than 70,000 people in Saiyinshanda, including 2 tank divisions and 720 tanks, starting from 15 kilometers south of the city of Saiyinshanda, until the bottom of the city of Saiyinshanda, the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army arranged a total of 4 lines of defense. According to the operational plan formulated by the headquarters of the First Red Banner Army of the Soviet-Mongolian Allied Army, the defense of Saiyin Shanda could not only defend but not attack, so the First Red Banner Army fully considered many factors such as defense and offense when formulating the combat plan, and finally worked out an operational plan that focused on offense and supplemented by defense.

The first stage was to take advantage of the superiority of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces to encircle and annihilate the Chinese division that had penetrated into the lone army, and the strategic goal was to completely annihilate the division when Chen Feng's reinforcements arrived, and if it could not be completely annihilated, it would be inflicted heavy losses.

The second stage is to change according to the situation on the battlefield, if the Chinese division can be completely annihilated and Chen Feng's headquarters can be severely damaged, then the former enemy headquarters must immediately report to the joint headquarters, request 10-150,000 reinforcements, and then immediately launch a counteroffensive against Chen Feng's headquarters. If the Chinese division could not be completely annihilated or severely damaged, then all the troops immediately moved closer to Saiyin Shanda, and then used the favorable terrain of Saiyin Shanda to block the attack of Chen Feng's troops. While killing and injuring the vitality of going to Saibei, it is also necessary to constantly consume the materials of Chen Feng's department.

Because of the extremely impressive performance of Chen Feng's subordinates, the command of the First Red Banner Army in charge of the Saiyin Shanda front line attached great importance to the Eighth Theater Guard Division, an infantry division that dared to go deep alone. Therefore, Lieutenant General Vasilyev, commander-in-chief of the First Red Banner Army, directly deployed 2 infantry divisions and 2 tank divisions on the first line of defense, and also mobilized 4 artillery brigades for fire reinforcement.

On 9 June, shortly after the Eighth Theater Guard Division arrived at Saiyinshanda, the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces, with two tank divisions as the lead and one infantry division as the follow-up force, launched an attack on the guard division that had not yet gained a firm foothold, with the cooperation of the four artillery brigades.
