Che Gong Gong, Ma Xiao Xiao.

The armor soldiers of the Han and Tang dynasties and the warriors of the Song and Ming dynasties once stepped on the yellow sand in the northwest to fight outside the fortress and protect the splendid China. Thousands of years have passed, and now the army is heading north again, which is still unprecedented and exciting.

In the sound of military music, one after another the phalanx of soldiers walked in front of Chang'an Avenue, with neat steps, vigorous figures, sophisticated equipment, and high morale, attracting countless cheers from the people.

The parade square was immersed in a frenzied atmosphere, with the national flag unfurled, countless Chinese and foreign journalists gathered, and hundreds of thousands of people looking forward to it.

Every time you walk through a phalanx, you will attract everyone's enthusiastic cheers, especially towing artillery, armored vehicles, tanks, self-propelled guns, these modern steel sharp weapons walk in front of everyone, the wave of cheers is higher and higher, and the rumbling sound gives all Chinese the greatest sense of security.

The display of these equipment greatly boosted the morale of the people and gave everyone more confidence in the battle. Since the crisis in the Far East spread, the situation between China and the Soviet Union has become more and more severe, and both sides are actively preparing for war, and a major war is about to break out, and all that is lacking is nothing more than an excuse.

Just half a month ago, a Russian reconnaissance plane was trying to probe the Chinese side's defense along the edge of Lake Baikal, but was hit by Chinese antiaircraft artillery. The pilot escaped by parachuting, but it happened to fall on the forward positions of China and Russia.

The Chinese soldiers decisively pursued the Russian pilot, and thus rushed into Russian territory, and the two sides began to exchange fire. In the past, there were cold guns on the border line, but this is the first time that they have rushed directly into the territory of the other side.

Both sides threw in more and more troops, first a platoon, then a company, to Zuihou. Five or six hundred men were dispatched on each side, and a skirmish turned into a big brawl. The Russians paid for more than 20 lives, the pilot was killed, and more than a dozen Chinese soldiers died.

This exchange of fire completely detonated the fighting between China and Russia, and at the very first moment of the exchange of fire, both China and Russia held a press conference. The Russians claimed that the existence of the Far Eastern Empire was illegitimate and that it was the product of a Chinese plot to divide Russia, so Russia wanted to recover its former lands and rescue the Russians who were suffering from a humanitarian crisis.

Saw this statement. Zhang Tinglan also sneered, and even took out the excuse of China's interference in the South Seas, if you really care about humanitarianism, it is better to look at the Ukrainian plain!

China was also the first to react, claiming that the existence of the Far Eastern Empire was seriously threatened. At the invitation of Queen Bixia, Chinese troops decisively entered the Far East. Assist the military and civilians of the Far East. Resist the Russian invasion.

In fact, it can be seen from the statements of both sides that everyone is very cautious and does not directly declare war, Russia wants to recover lost territory, and China wants to protect the security of the Far East.

Doing so undoubtedly leaves room for manoeuvre. After all, when two giants collide, no one can predict the consequences. Just like when the Feng army went to war with Japan, the two sides still fought undeclared.

Of course, on the surface, no one dares to relax in the real battle. It will even be said that it will only work harder. Both sides are constantly mobilizing the most elite Liliang to the front line, and war materials and resources are constantly being sent.

The Chinese side even organized an unprecedented swearing-in parade, which was watched by hundreds of thousands of people in the capital and cheered and prayed for the soldiers who were about to die.

In the past, the sick man of East Asia, now that he can have such a powerful army, many old people have tears in their eyes, and young people have their eyes shining one by one, clenching them all tightly, wishing that they were one of them.

"Mr. Tsuchihara, what do you think of the performance of the army of the Shina people?"

"Very good, they have a strong morale, they are well equipped, and in a way, they have caught up with the army of the Empire."

As a military attache stationed in China, Tu Feiyuan naturally did not miss the opportunity to observe the Chinese army up close, and he and Yoshizawa Kenkichi were crowded in the crowd to watch this majestic military parade.

Seeing some of the equipment of the Chinese army, Tu Feiyuan also showed a greedy color, and China has already taken the lead in Japan in army construction.

In particular, China, a country with a vast land and abundant resources, is willing to spend money on weapons, and its tanks and armored vehicles are far ahead of the Japanese. Although the Japanese tried their best to develop the army after the defeat in Korea, the limited resources and the huge demand for the navy made the Japanese army have a considerable distance from China.

No matter how arrogant Tu Feiyuan is, he will not open his eyes and say nonsense, but there is still a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth: "From this military parade, we can clearly see that the people of China are proud, they think that they can easily defeat the enemy, so they show their strength without scruples." However, as the book of soldiers says, the arrogant army will be defeated. The more confident they are, the easier it is to fall into the trap. ”

Despite the rigid impression of the Japanese Army, most of Japan's high-ranking generals still advocate conspiracy and strategy. In a war, we pay attention to taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared, and how can there be a reason to show their strength, and they can see it to the Japanese, and presumably the Russians can also see it, and China will definitely suffer a big loss in the Far East at that time.

At that time, the Japanese will be able to reap the fruits of victory, and the pressure on the Japanese to be neighbors of such a behemoth as China is also quite great, and they will definitely not look forward to any good days in China.

……

"Be careful! Plane! ”

Zhang Zizhong shouted loudly, the soldiers hurriedly hid their bodies in the trenches, and the Russian fighters swept through the air, bullets hit the ground, sand and gravel flew sideways, and mud was scattered, but fortunately there were no casualties. Zhang Zizhong got up from the trenches, dusted off the dirt on his body, and scolded: "Old Maozi, if you have the ability, the uncle will fight you alone!" ”

Before Zhang Zizhong could speak, he saw that the fighter suddenly flashed a few fires on its wings, and then fell quickly to the ground like a stone.

Disheveled! A ball of flame rose into the air, and all of them, including the pilot, turned into a pile of red light. The soldiers happened to see this scene and couldn't help but laugh.

"Battalion commander, you are really a god, such a sentence, just say a Russian plane, I am afraid to say a few more words. The air force of the Russians is gone! ”

After saying this, all the soldiers around him were hahadaxiao, and everyone was rarely relaxed. Of course, the plane was not shot down by Zhang Zizhong, but by Chinese fighters.

Several Chinese fighters swept over Zhang Zizhong's heads, and above the horizon behind them, more planes appeared, and a large area of black pressure swept through the air, and the huge roar shook the ears.

But every time I see this scene. The soldiers couldn't help but feel their blood boiling, this is the symbol of the Chinese liliang. During this time, Chinese fighters often formed large groups of aircraft to carry out bombing operations against the Russian side.

On the front in the Far East, the Chinese army was actually not as strong as the Russians. But it was able to suppress the Russian side, so that they did not dare to attack rashly with all their might. The role of the Air Force played a rather striking role.

"Battalion commander. I counted it just now, and this time at least forty or fifty bombers were dispatched, and dozens of fighter planes escorted the escort, which is really spectacular. ”

Zhang Zizhong also nodded: "Cheer me up, don't patronize and envy others." In the future, it will be up to our army to decide the victory, and no one is allowed to coax it! ”

Zhang Zizhong's guess was not bad, the target of this dispatch of so many planes was the Russian Baikal fleet. Since the establishment of the Far Eastern Empire. Lake Baikal became the forward position of both sides, and the Russians formed a lake flotilla with more than two dozen gunboats of various types.

Killing this fleet would greatly weaken the Russians' water transportation capabilities and disrupt Russia's war deployment. Therefore, the Chinese side is determined to win.

The group appeared over Lake Baikal, shimmering towards a sapphire-like lake, and in the distance you could see the flag of the sickle and hammer, fluttering in the wind.

The Baikal Fleet never expected that they would be the target of attack. The sailors screamed in fear, and they set up all their weapons and kept shooting into the air in a vain attempt to resist.

But the sparse network of fire did not threaten the Chinese fighters at all, and the bombs fell from the planes, and one explosion after another was heard.

Some bombs fell into the water, splashing white waves of more than ten meters, and some fell on the shore, blowing up the Russian army in pieces. The lake seemed to be boiling. One big wave after another, and those gunboats of tens or hundreds of tons turned into a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron in the violent explosion and sank into the lake.

The Russian sailors suffered even more heavy losses, the casualties were staggering, and in less than half an hour of bombing, the Baikal flotilla became history. The pilots were still unsatisfied, and when they withdrew, they went around the heads of the Russians again.

Boom, boom, blaze, blaze blaze from above the Russian positions, trenches were destroyed, fortifications were blown up. The large fleet also attacked several Russian material bases and barracks. The flames engulfed the supplies that had just arrived, killing no less than 200 people and wounding hundreds more.

Although the Russians are trying their best to strengthen their air force, there is still a distance from China, both in terms of quality and quantity, including the quality of pilots, so it is inevitable that they will suffer losses in battle.

Feng Yong was responsible for the bombing operations in the Far East, and he was very satisfied with the results of the battle, but the only thing he was not satisfied with was that they were not the protagonists of the battle.

When the battle was first formulated, Zhang Tinglan put the real main battlefield in Central Asia, and the Far East was just a front.

Of course, in order to convince the Russians of this lie, Zhang Tinglan also made elaborate arrangements, and he demanded that the transfer of troops to the Far East must be above board and upright, so he would organize a huge military parade.

In addition, the Far East should far surpass Central Asia in terms of troop display, for example, the scale of aircraft reconnaissance must keep the Far East more than twice that of Central Asia, and the bombing operations are mainly concentrated in the Far East.

Although Feng Yong was very lively, he did play a supporting role, which made him a little unwilling. However, he only dared to vent his anger on the Russians, and constantly made the Russians pay a heavier price.

However, the Russians' preparations for war are still proceeding at a rapid pace, and Moscow has sent Yegorov as commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front, and he has concentrated more than 80,000 troops on the Irkutsk front, all of which were the elite main forces of the Soviet Civil War.

At that time, Budyonny was defeated and lost Chita and other places, which became an eternal pain in the hearts of the Russians. Therefore, since the decision to recover the Far East, the Russian army has been gearing up and preparing for a disgrace.

And Yegorov is also one of the best commanders in Russia, he has experienced a hundred battles and performed many miraculous feats. In the autumn of 1919, when Denikin's troops advanced on Tula, the gateway to Moscow, Yegorov was appointed commander of the Southern Front, leading the campaign to crush Denikin and keep Moscow.

Since then, he has risen to prominence and become one of the brightest stars of the Russian army, and it is precisely because of his outstanding military achievements that Stalin favored him and appointed him commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front.

But Yegorov did not know that from the very beginning, he, including Moscow, had fallen into a fatal mistake, just as he was concentrating all his strength and preparing to attack.

China's most elite guards division has long left Beijing, along the railway line, into Xinjiang. Then they left Dihua and marched quickly through the yellow sands towards Central Asia, where they were to capture the Alashan Pass.

The Alashan Pass is a wide, flat passage between the Alatau Mountains and the Baluk Mountains, about 20 kilometers wide and 90 kilometers long. It is connected to Alahu Lake in Central Asia in the north and Aibi Lake in Xinjiang in the south, which is the throat road from China to Central Asia.

As long as this narrow mountain pass can be taken, the Chinese army will be faced with an endless Central Asian plain, a natural armored battlefield. Before setting out, Zhang Henian thoroughly studied the topography of Central Asia.

The vanguard responsible for attacking Alashankou was the Chinese Airborne Forces, and it can be said that it was the first time in history that a victory in a battle was pinned on the paratroopers. But China is willing to take a gamble.

In the early morning of June 10, 24 transport planes lined up neatly on the airport runway. Song Qingquan personally led the team, and all the paratroopers of a battalion were ready for battle.

As the plane took off, these heroic soldiers also flew into the distance with the Chinese's desire for victory.

In order to ensure safety, they bypassed the Alashan Pass from the north and entered the Central Asian plain. At 7:50 a.m., they finally arrived at their scheduled skydive site.

White umbrella flowers appeared in the sky, fluttering and falling to the ground, this action paratrooper has been trained countless times, extremely skilled, Song Qingquan still took the lead and jumped down, and the soldiers behind followed closely.

But when they jumped down, a fatal problem suddenly appeared, a gust of wind blew, the air was full of fine sand and gravel, and they couldn't open their eyes at all, and these paratroopers were blown everywhere...... (To be continued......)
