Fengxian Jiangshan

Inside the headquarters of the Central Asian Front Army, the dim lights and the unprecedentedly oppressive atmosphere, all the main generals gathered together, Zhang Henian's eyes were red, his face was gloomy, and he said after a long while: "What do you think about the defeat of the past two days?" ?”

After being silent for a while, Zhou Zijian said with some grief: "We made a serious mistake. The smooth start made us underestimate the Russians' ability to resist. Carelessness made us ignore many details. For example, at the beginning, the armored forces did not get The cover of the air force is to rush forward. When launching the attack, the infantry did not follow up well, the artillery was not prepared enough, and the air power was not in place."

"And the most terrible thing is that time is not on our side." Chief of Staff Rong Zhen also said: "Armored assault pays attention to one effort, then declines, and exhausts three times. Since breaking through the Alashan Pass, we have already traveled more than 2 kilometers, and the soldiers have already I'm a little tired, and the logistical pressure is increasing. And because some troops were scattered along the way, we only have a little over [-] people, and we don't have an advantage in numbers. If we continue to deplete and the Russian reinforcements arrive, we will be in a difficult situation Too dangerous."

Hearing this, Zhang Henian couldn't help but nodded: "You are all right. I will explain the situation to the President. The current situation is caused by my mistakes. But here I want to know, what do you have? Any good ideas?"

"Commander, I don't believe that the Russians can fight steel with flesh and blood." Huang Xiansheng said loudly: "Tomorrow dawn, I am willing to take the first regiment as the main force, and I will definitely break through the defense line, no matter how much it costs. If you take If you don’t come down, I’ll come and see you.”

Rong Zhen waved his hand: "Not good, if we said that on the first day, we showed such vigor, maybe we fought hard, and we really won. Now the Russians' morale is greatly shaken, and if we go all out, we will be able to beat Kara. Ganda, there is Astana behind us. If we fight hard, we will also lose the ability to continue attacking. We only lost Central Asia, and we cannot make this polar bear succumb.”

"Chief of Staff. Do you have any good ideas?"

Rong Zhen walked to the sand table without hesitation.Pointing to a place, he said: "Here, as long as we take this place, the Russian army in Central Asia will become a turtle in the urn. It can also threaten Omsk and Novosibirsk, and the traffic artery will be in our hands."

Zhang Henian and the others gathered around and took a closer look. The location Rong Zhen pointed out was Kleku, an important town about [-] kilometers northeast of Astana, connected to Omsk by railway.As Rong Zhen said, as long as they control this place, they can threaten the Siberian Railway and block Russian reinforcements.Let the troops in Central Asia become the turtle in the urn. [

There is no doubt that this plan is the best choice at present, as long as it is realized, it can break the existing deadlock.But there are also serious challenges, from where they are, to Kreku.At least [-] kilometers, even at the fastest speed, will take about five days. The battlefield changes rapidly, and what they have to cross is the most desolate human zone in Central Asia.The variables are very large, and the difficulty is really amazing.

Once the Russians mobilize reinforcements in advance, the attack will be difficult to complete.The big guys are thinking in their hearts whether they should take a gamble.

But at this moment, someone suddenly ran in with a telegram in his hand, and hurriedly delivered it to Zhang Henian. After opening it, he found that the telegram was sent by the Supreme Command.

When Zhang Tinglan was in battle, he trusted his generals very much, and basically would not interfere with their combat operations. After all, the commanders in front knew the situation on the battlefield better than those who were thousands of miles away.

But this time Zhang Tinglan made an exception and sent a telegram, which shows the seriousness of the matter. When Zhang Henian and the others opened the telegram, they immediately had a headache. It turned out that according to reliable information, Russian reinforcements had already been dispatched.Tukhachevsky personally led two divisions to Omsk.

"Everyone, this Tukhachevsky is not simple. He is known as the "Red" Napoleon, and he is a soldier like a god. He was sent here, I'm afraid the situation will get worse." Rong Zhen said a little worried.

Zhou Zijian couldn't help but said, "Look, what will happen if Tukhachevsky captures Kleku?"

After listening to his words, everyone gasped. Indeed, the idea was terrible. Once Keleku fell into the hands of Russia, they would definitely go south to attack Aktoka and cut off the squadron's retreat.

Originally, China's attack on Central Asia was to attack the Siberian Railway from this flank. Who knew that the Russians would take advantage of the loophole and threaten themselves in turn. Everyone's face was very gloomy.

After a long while, Zhang Henian slapped the table and said loudly: "It seems that no matter what, Keleku must be captured first. Do you have any good ideas?"

Rong Zhen calculated the distance, and then said: "Commander, it will take at least five days for us to reach Kleku, and the Russians have railways to use, so three days is about the same. There is a difference of two days in between. There is no way to catch up. There is only one way, and that is to use Wu Kaijie's first cavalry division and rely on them to seize Kleku."

As soon as Wu Kaijie was mentioned, everyone showed a hint of joy on their faces. As an old brother who had been in the martial arts hall with Zhang Tinglan, Wu Kaijie had always had a high status in the National Defense Forces, and he was not slow to get promoted. , can be called the two best commanders of the cavalry.

After a fight in North Korea and Japan, Feng Jun realized the value of using jeeps for quick assaults. Wu Kaijie proposed to install motorized vehicles for the cavalry, but at that time the ability was limited and there were not a large number of them.

However, with the implementation of the First Five-Year Plan, the country's industrial strength has rapidly improved, and it is time for the Fengjun's equipment to be updated. The traditional cavalry can no longer meet the needs of the battlefield. Equipping the army with tracks and wheels has become an important part of the army. party consensus.

As the first ace main force to go mechanized, the Guards Division is mainly positioned as the sharp knife of the entire army, so it is equipped with the latest medium tanks.The First Cavalry Division has also been upgraded, but they are positioned as a fast-moving force, and they must continue the advantages of the cavalry to the greatest extent. [

The First Cavalry Division is mainly equipped with high-speed light tanks, wheeled chariots, and a large number of jeeps and half-ton trucks.The main task of the First Cavalry Division is to counter infantry and cavalry, to achieve rapid support and rapid strikes.

Zhang Tinglan originally wanted to send the [-]st Cavalry Division to the Far East, but later he considered that the situation in Central Asia was complicated, and thieves were rampant in various regions, and the troops would go deep into Russia, posing a great threat to the logistics line, so Zhang Tinglan decided to transfer the [-]st Cavalry Division to the Far East. Come over and let them take care of logistical security.

At this time, the main force of the [-]st Cavalry Division happened to be stationed in Aktoka and other places. When Rong Zhen mentioned them, Zhang Henian's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands immediately and said, "Okay, give Wu Kaijie an order to let him go within two days. , Be sure to rush to Kelieku and firmly control this place.”

Zhang Henian looked at Zhou Zijian again, and said, "Deputy Commander, you continue to attack Karaganda with a brigade of troops. I will lead the other soldiers and rush to Keleku."

"Commander, why don't you leave it to me, you stay here."

"No, I must let the Russians know how powerful Zhang is!" Zhang Henian clenched his fists loudly. The depression of the past two days made him full of anger, and he was about to take it out on the Russians.

Soon everyone had a good division of labor, the guard division was divided into two halves, Zhang Henian led the main force, and quickly left the periphery of Karaganda.

At this time, Wu Kaijie had already received the order. When he heard that he was ordered to attack Kleku, Wu Kaijie also became energetic.The [-]st Cavalry Division is a troop with great military exploits, so you can't just sit back and watch the house, what will it look like!

Wu Kaijie also knew that the speed of soldiers is very important, so he specially selected 80 Type [-] wheeled armored vehicles from the [-]st Cavalry Division to serve as the main force of this attack.

The so-called Type 8 wheeled combat vehicle is Zhang Tinglan's reference to the technical standards of the American M6 Greyhound wheeled armored vehicle during World War II, but also made some adjustments suitable for China.For example, Americans have adopted 6-cylinder gasoline engines, and China is still quite behind in this field. China's strength is the diesel engine jointly developed with Germany.Therefore, the Type 140 is equipped with a [-]-cylinder oil extraction machine with a power of [-] horsepower.

Due to the use of a diesel engine, the total weight has reached 82 tons. The whole car adopts a 6*6 wheel structure. The maximum speed on the road has reached 70 kilometers, and the off-road speed has also exceeded 40 kilometers. Among the various types of wheeled chariots in the world, it is still very leading.

Moreover, it is easy to operate and maintain, and it caters to the characteristics of the squadron. The Type 37 is equipped with a 792mm main gun, a 127mm coaxial machine gun, and a [-]mm machine gun on the top.

The 37mm main gun is capable of threatening most of the tanks currently in service. The configuration of the machine gun makes it have considerable attack power against the air and the ground. Facing this weapon, the infantry will definitely have to die.

Of course, compared with tracked chariots, wheeled chariots lack off-road performance, but wheeled chariots also have advantages, that is, they are easy to maintain, and the wheels last longer than tracked chariots, so they can be used in long-distance raids. However, wheeled chariots still have an advantage over Bilon.

The soldiers of the First Cavalry Division were also full of confidence in this new type of weapon. Wu Kaijie led a total of 80 Type 200 chariots, [-] jeeps, and a large number of logistics vehicles to form a rapid assault force.

They followed the Silk Road that merchants have walked for thousands of years, and quickly went north to Kelieku. The Type [-] chariots were running wildly on the plain as far as the eye could see, like a huge pack of wolves, mighty and mighty. 』, can be blocked.

At the same time, the red Napoleon and Tukhachevsky also led two divisions and quickly rushed towards Kreku. The outcome of the war has turned into a confrontation of speed. Running wildly, whoever is faster will be able to seize the opportunity!
