Chapter 980 Zhukov

mountain city.

The air-raid shelter in the secret camp was full of excitement, and the staff officers either lowered their heads to record on paper, or marked something on the blackboard.

Under the supervision of special agents who are familiar with telecommunications, the radio operators wrote fake messages one after another, using unpowered radio stations to simulate power generation.

Among them, the most hard-working traitors belong to the underground party. They are in groups of three and two, racking their brains to fabricate non-existent intelligence activities.

Wu Jingzhong and Gu Qi walked back and forth on their respective responsible sides, receiving the latest situation from outside from time to time, stopping to read aloud.

“诺门坎昨日坪均温度是 10℃~ 18℃，西北风4-5级转南风4-5级。”

"In the last three days, there has been no sign of rain, and I request to be added to the combat plan and intelligence."

"A plane landed in Tamtsag Bragke yesterday morning. The model is the Red Russian-made ANT-6, and the identity of the crew is unknown."

"The Red Russian army on the Nuomenkan front line changed a day ago, and the level of vigilance has increased. The Mongolian army also has unknown actions."

"Electrical investigations show that the communication frequency of the Russian Far East military has increased, and radio interference has occurred in nearby towns."

"In the early hours of this morning, a part of the Red Russian Seventh Army went out to the east bank of the Harha River to set up field fortifications."

"At noon today, a number of Red Russian aircraft appeared above the Red Russian position in Nuomenkan. The number and type of planes are yet to be investigated."

"According to rumors, around [-]:[-] in the morning, there was an exchange of fire between the Japanese Air Force and the Red Russian Air Force in Monti, and one of the Japanese aircraft crashed."

"In addition, the military trains of the Red Russia-Siberian Railway are getting more and more intensive, and as of one hour ago, there were as many as 30 trains."

"The Kwantung Army and the pseudo-mite border troops are stepping up their combat readiness, and the Japanese 7th Division and 1st Tank Division are also collecting supplies."

Following the reports from the two of them, the personnel involved in Operation Mirage began to revise the "Red Russia" and "Japan" combat plans, messages, and intelligence.

The wargame deduction of the two armies on the blackboard also added this information and started a new round of simulation in order to update the battlefield situation in real time.

Zuo Zhong, Zhang Zhangguan, and Guo Yizhi sat behind a table and began to discuss in low voices while listening to the latest situation.

"At the end of the day, the activities of the Russian army on the front line are very active. Combined with the increase of the air force and the actions on the railway, it seems that our guess has come true."

Chief Zhang frowned slightly, and said in a relaxed tone: "Feklenko should be dismissed from his position, but I don't know if it was Zhukov who came.

However, judging from the fact that the Red Russian troops established a landing field on the east bank of the Harha River, the opponent's commander is very aggressive and moves quickly.

This is very similar to Zhukov's command style, soft but tough, good at joint command of multiple arms, and he is used to taking the initiative to attack. "

After making some guesses about the changes in the Red Russian military, he patted the materials filled with notes, and silently recited Zhukov's military experience.

"Zhukov was born in 18┴96. His family was poor. He graduated from middle school. In 1915, he was conscripted into the Tsarist Russian army and participated in the last European war.

During his service, he fought bravely and took the lead. He fought at the front for two years, was promoted to corporal, and received two Georgi Crosses.

After Tsarist Russia died, he joined the Red Russian Army in August 1918, serving as a soldier in the 8th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division, and joined the Red Russian Underground Party the following year.

In 1920, he served as a platoon leader in the 1st Cavalry Regiment. During the Civil War, he fought in the North and South. After the Civil War, he was already the commander of the 39th Cavalry Regiment.

Later, this regiment was transformed into the first batch of tank regiments in Red Russia, and Zhukov served as the head of the regiment for 7 years, thus laying down his theory of tank combat.

In 1930, Zhukov served as the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, commanded two tank regiments, and conducted advanced training in armored command courses at the military academy.

He served as the commander of the 1933th Division in 4, as the commander of the 1937rd Cavalry Corps in 3, and later as the commander of the 6th Cavalry Corps.

In 1937, as a senior observer, he went to the front line of the Spanish Civil War to investigate the performance and function of the new type of tanks used by the Red Russia to support the government forces. "

Officer Zhang quickly introduced Zhukov's resume, took another sip of water, and then began to evaluate the opponent's combat philosophy and military thinking.

"The other party has gradually grown from a poor man to a senior commander of the Red Russia. He is extremely determined, has extremely rich combat experience, and will act when things happen.

When he was in the advanced training class of the Frunze Military Academy in Moscow, Zhukov once published a paper suggesting the large-scale use of tanks to fight independently.

He advocated the combination of tanks, artillery, infantry, and air force to fight together, boldly implement circuitous encirclement, and annihilate the main force of the enemy by surprise.

If I'm not wrong, the Red Russian troops will soon launch an active attack on the Japanese army, and it will be a rapid attack by the Mechanized Corps and the United Air Force. "

"Clap~Clap~Clap~"

Zuo Zhong applauded lightly after hearing Officer Zhang's reasoning. As expected of the Head of Education of Whampoa, he summed up Zhukov's commanding style very well.

Zhukov may not be the smartest person in the Red Russian army, but he is indeed the most determined general who is best at joint operations of large corps.

Slowly putting down his hand, Zuo Zhong smiled and complimented and asked a question: "Mr. Zhang is so familiar with the target in such a short period of time, I admire him.

In your opinion, in order to ensure the victory of the active offensive against Japan, what preparations will Zhukov make, and will he mobilize supplies and troops from the rear? "

"Will."

Commander Zhang laughed off Zuo Zhong's flattery, and made a positive prediction: "War is about logistics, Zhukov will not fail to understand.

The war potential of Red Russia is obviously higher than that of the Japanese army, but the Japanese army has an advantage in transportation distance. To win the victory, the rear support is the key.

The increase in the number of military trains on the Trans-Siberian Railway in the intelligence report just now is evidence. This is just the beginning, and more materials and equipment will be transported to the Far East.

In addition, looking at Zhukov's battles in the first half of his life, this man's use of troops is the same as Wang Jian of the Qin Dynasty.

From ancient times to the present, many people have looked down on this kind of general, thinking that the opponent will not be able to fight without a force several times that of the enemy, which is really ridiculous.

The scholar spoke lightly of the people in the tomb, and the tomb laughed and got angry with the book. I am afraid that these literati have never seen the battlefield, and they don't understand the cruelty of war at all. "

He read a sentence of "Song of Yezhong" by Zhong Xing, a poet of the Ming Dynasty, with a little disdain, and then his expression became serious, and he waved his hands vigorously to emphasize his tone.

"Since our side has an advantage in numbers, why not use it? Do you have to win more with less to be considered a famous general? That's a joke with the lives of soldiers.

Moreover, being able to command more troops is an ability in itself, unlike some senior officers in our army who can't manage even a few hundred people.

The other side obviously does not lack the ability to become a deputy commander from a soldier, so they will definitely mobilize troops from the rear, to be precise, from Europe.

First, in order to seek stability, the Japanese were completely defeated with upright soldiers, and the war in the Far East was quickly ended to avoid falling into a protracted war.

That is very dangerous for Red Russia, and it is very easy to fall into the dilemma of fighting on both sides. Zhukov knows very well that Mosk will not allow this to happen.

Secondly, it is to add actual combat experience to the European troops of Red Russia, especially large-scale mechanized combat experience, which is very critical.

No matter how much you play tricks, it is better to fight a real battle. In actual combat, you will find problems that could not be found during the peace period. The Red Russians will not let go of the opportunity to train troops. "

Zuo Zhong and Guo Yizhi nodded repeatedly when they heard the words. Zhukov really would not take the risk of defeat and use his own honor and the future of the country to play a game of strange soldiers to win.

Only small and weak countries can expect to use tricks to win. Large and powerful countries do not need to use this method to gain an advantage.

After thinking for a while, Zuo Zhong asked another key question: "Mr. Zhang, based on your experience, how much reinforcement will Zhukov ask Mosk for?"

"It cannot be determined."

Chief Zhang shook his head first, then changed the topic: "But to defeat the Japanese and the pseudo-mite, the Red Russians need at least one army group.

According to the military system of Red Russia, the group army has about 3 infantry corps, 3 armored brigades, 3 tank brigades, 1 artillery brigade and other supporting units.

Combined with the existing strength of the 57th Army, that is to say, Zhukov also needs 3 elite infantry divisions, 2 armored and tank brigades and 2 heavy artillery regiments.

At the same time, the intelligence ahead said that the Japanese had engaged in an air battle with Red Russia's air force, and it was imperative for Red Russia to strengthen Nomenkan's air force.

According to the previous information, there is only one 100th flying brigade in Montenegro. In my opinion, at least one more flying brigade is enough insurance.

I suggest that based on these troop mobilization data, a plan for the Red Russians to attack the Northeast should be able to fool the Japanese. "

Guo Yizhi on the side nodded slightly. The above speculation was well-founded and highly credible. If he had estimated it, he would have given this answer.

Zuo Zhong thought about it for a long time, but he also found nothing wrong, and finally decided to refer to Chief Zhang's speculation and send false information to the Japanese.

The truest lie is always the truth in the false. Red Russia's move to transfer troops from Europe is definitely not hidden from the hidden Japanese intelligence personnel.

In this way, part of the real troop mobilization can be used to cover up the false strategic purpose. This kind of false information is very difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Even if there are discrepancies in details, such as the number of reinforcements, the Japanese will only suspect that there is a mistake in the investigation, and will not suspect that there is a problem with the intelligence itself.

Zuo Zhong made up his mind, and immediately called Wu Jingzhong, recounted the conversation just now, and asked the other party to forge relevant information based on this.

After Wu Jingzhong left, he turned around and chatted with Guo Yizhi. Compared with the Red Russians, the deployment of the Japanese in conflict areas was basically clear.

As mentioned in the previous intelligence, the 7th Division of the Kwantung Army and the 1st Tank Division are collecting food and grass, obviously doing pre-war preparations.

The 7th Division is the most elite mobile unit of the Kwantung Army. It was established in 18┴97, directly under the Kwantung Army Command, and stationed in QQHE.

Under its jurisdiction are two brigades, four infantry regiments, and a total of 4 soldiers. It is the most important combat and ruling force of the Japanese in the Northeast.

During the Sino-Japanese War, it belonged to the 1st Army to attack the Liaodong Peninsula. During the Russo-Japanese War, it belonged to the 3rd Army to participate in the Battle of Liaoyang.

Since its establishment, the 7th Division has always served as the strategic reserve team of the Japanese base camp, carrying out the mission of mobile operations, which is the pride of the Japanese military.

In particular, the 26th and 28th Wings under it enjoy a high reputation in the Japanese Army, and most of Lu Shi's graduates work in these two Wings.

The 7th Division is recognized as the most powerful unit in the Japanese army. It once occupied Hailanpao and became the main force of the Japanese army's northward march to Red Russia.

It is also considered to be the most suitable main force for fighting against the Red Russia, with excellent equipment and high quality soldiers, and is always ready to attack the Red Russia.

As the only tank division in Japan, the 1st tank division is regarded as a treasure by the poor Japanese army, known as the "national treasure".

It has 3 tank squadrons stationed near Xinjing, with 282 tanks and 37 armored vehicles. It is the most elite tank unit in Japan.

The Type [-]┴[-] medium tanks and Type [-] light tanks that are equipped are the trump cards that Japan has painstakingly researched. As for the combat effectiveness, that's it.

In short, relying on the intelligence of these two troops, the military command can perfectly fabricate the "Japanese army"'s combat plan against Russia, and it is very real.

Zuo Zhong called Song Minghao as usual, and also assigned the task. In this way, the strategic deception against Red Russia and Japan entered the stage of implementation.

After dealing with this most important link, the atmosphere immediately relaxed a lot. Officer Zhang poured himself a glass of water and asked a question.

"Shen Mo, as far as I know, your military command should have some eyeliners in the Japanese military, and it's not difficult to disclose the Red Russia's battle plan to the other side.

But the Red Russian intelligence is different, it is difficult to infiltrate, how to hand over the Japanese battle plan to the Red Russians, do you have a plan? "

To this, Zuo Zhong just smiled lightly and didn't answer. He turned his gaze to the east, as if he saw something through the thick concrete.
