Glorious Mission 1937

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

However, Chen Feng has experienced the oil energy crisis in later generations. If there is no or lack of oil, the operation of society will be greatly hindered. Vehicles, ships, and airplanes will have no oil, which will lead to traffic paralysis; boilers and heating furnaces will have no oil. , causing the plant to shut down.Fuel oil is indispensable for most people.Oil is not only an ordinary commodity in people's daily life, 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.

Usually, the safe supply of oil is always intertwined with international political struggles, global strategic interests, and even social ideology, human rights, ethnic and religious conflicts and contradictions.If 30% of a country's oil resources are in the hands of others, it means that its own safety is in the hands of others.In later generations, many countries have reserved more than 9 days of oil consumption to ensure that they can still maintain a normal fuel supply for a certain period of time if they cannot get enough oil from abroad due to war or other reasons.

As a military officer and even a potential political leader, Chen Feng would not be ignorant of the importance of oil.When the Eighth War Zone began to implement the military mechanization and modernization strategy, oil had already become one of the strategic materials that Chen Feng must obtain, so Chen Feng did not hesitate to use medicine as a bargaining chip.The exchange of interests with the Soviet Union is to worry that one day his mechanized troops will be weaned.

However, what the Soviets did made Chen Feng extremely angry. Less than a month after he secretly signed a mutual alliance agreement with the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union actually signed a neutrality treaty with Japan. Annexation of the Chen family's investment in the Tyumen region is a naked act of robbery and a betrayal of the allies.It was precisely because of this that Chen Feng didn't give the Soviets any face, because their food was too ugly.

This also reflects a problem from another aspect.That is, the Soviets did not treat Chen Feng's subordinates as equal friends at all.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 their arrogance and courage.

China is an oil-poor country. This argument has been shouted for a century, although this argument was made by Americans.But the Japanese believe it.The Soviets believed it too.Even the vast majority of Chinese people believe it.Countries without oil should not talk about military mechanization. Without mechanized armies, wars cannot be fought, so the Soviets are proud and arrogant.They didn't even take Chen Feng's troops seriously.

With the experience of later generations, from the very beginning of the transaction between the two parties, Chen Feng spared no effort to hoard fuel, especially aviation fuel. He was worried that one day the Soviet Union would wean him.For the Soviet Union, he had a little liking and trust, after all, Chen Feng knew very well about 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, and don’t think that this country is a model of constitutional democracy because its political system originated from Marx (Marx) Lenin (Nin).

Chen Feng didn't believe in the Soviet Union not because of the Soviet Union itself, but because he didn't believe that the current leader of the Soviet Union was Stalin. In Chen Feng's eyes, Stalin was a dictator who controlled the country's will with his own likes and dislikes.Although Stalin had extraordinary talent and indomitable will.But the best salient feature of Stalin's personality was his brutality, devoid of an iota of sympathy or compassion.

Chen Feng always believed that there would be a battle between him and Stalin, no matter how good or close the relationship between the two parties was before.After a big purge, Stalin established his absolute authority in the Soviet Union, and Stalin was an extremely powerful person. In this respect, Stalin and Chen Feng had a lot of similarities. Chen Feng didn't think he could get along with the bearded man peacefully. .

Therefore, during the honeymoon period of the two sides, Chen Feng tried his best to hoard oil, but due to production capacity, transportation and other reasons, until the Soviet Union stopped supplying oil to the Eighth Theater, Chen Feng's troops only hoarded a total of 600 million tons of oil. According to the Eighth Theater War According to the calculation of fuel consumption during the period, 600 million tons of fuel is only enough for the eighth theater to operate for three months.

But Chen Feng still dared to start a war with the Soviet Union under such circumstances, and he also had his own cards.First of all, the construction of Shenmu Oilfield has been completed four months ago. Except for the installation of the derrick, all other supporting facilities have been completed, and even the oil refining equipment has been installed properly.

In addition, the construction of the Wulateqianqi Oilfield is basically coming to an end. As long as Chen Feng gives an order, the two oilfields will be put into production soon, and the oil production equipment is exchanged by Chen Feng with points, and the daily crude oil production is as high as 5 tons. Basically, it can meet the needs of the eighth theater.

What's more, Chen Feng still has the secret weapon of the system. After communicating with the little fox, Chen Feng learned that there are such strategic materials that can be exchanged through the system, and the price is not very expensive. Ten thousand tons is a unit, and each unit only needs 1000 points, and it is still refined oil, so there is no need for secondary refining.

Of course, exchanging points for oil is not very cost-effective in Chen Feng's view. After all, although such things are very important strategic materials, they are not scarce, and there are not many machinery and equipment that use oil in this era, so As far as the whole world is concerned, the supply of oil exceeds the demand.

But the system points are different. Those things are really hard to earn. Even killing an enemy major general is only 7 or 8 points, which is not enough for 47 tons of oil.And what is the concept of [-] tons of oil?Don't think that [-] tons is an astronomical figure. In fact, [-] tons of oil is not a lot. Take the B[-] strategic bomber as an example. It will consume hundreds of tons of fuel when it goes out to perform a mission, and [-] tons of fuel is not enough for one hundred. A strategic bomber went out to perform a mission.

Although it cannot be used as a long-term supply channel.But it is still very good as an emergency backup channel, and this is another important reliance for Chen Feng to dare to go to war with the Soviet Union.Besides, Chen Feng didn't think the Soviet Union could hold on for long. As long as the Soviet Union showed a little weakness in the Far East, then that German mustache would definitely not let go of such a rare opportunity. No matter what the situation was, Stalin would must negotiate with him.

Facts were just as Chen Feng expected, the Soviet-Mongolian coalition army was beaten black and blue by his troops within a week, thousands of fighter planes were shot down, and more than [-] soldiers were killed or injured.

After the 6.8 air battle, Chen Feng believed that the main force of the Soviet Far East Air Force was basically wiped out.therefore.Beginning on June 6, in addition to dispatching a small number of fighter jets to escort, the Northern Air Force dispatched almost all bombers to bombard the Soviet-Mongolian coalition defense zone frantically.at the same time.The ground troops also stepped up their speed and marched towards Saiyin Shanda.

June 1940, 6.The Eighth Theater Guard Division arrived at Saiyinshanda with the cooperation of the Second Army Aviation Brigade.And immediately launched a fierce attack on Saiyin Shanda's Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces.With the cooperation of the Army Aviation Brigade, the performance of the mechanized unit of the Guard Division in Saiyinshanda was a miracle.

Since the main force of this defensive operation was the First Soviet Red Banner Army, it was the Soviet First Red Banner Army Command that was in charge of Saiyin Shanda's frontline operations.The commander-in-chief is Lieutenant General Vasilyev of the First Red Banner Army.The First Red Banner Army was established in the Far East in July 1938. It belongs to the Red Banner Far East Front Army. Its original designation was the First Binhai Army.The leading body of the group army was established on the basis of the leading body of the Binhai Army Group of the Red Flag Far East Special Group Army.Compiled all garrisons and local military command structures of Ussuriysk Oblast, Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk) and parts of Primorsky Oblast.The Military Committee of the Group Army is also responsible for the operational command of the Soviet Pacific Fleet. It is a military group with joint strike capabilities of the army, sea and air forces.

After the withdrawal of the Far Eastern Front Army, in accordance with the order of the People's Commissariat of National Defense on September 1938, 9, the group army was reorganized into the 4st Red Banner Army, which was directly under the People's Commissariat of National Defense of the Soviet Union.Not long ago, the Far East Front Army was reorganized, and the group army was reorganized under its organizational system. In March 1, it was incorporated into the Binhai Army Group of the Front Army.

Although the Soviet and Mongolian allied forces deployed more than 7 people in Saiyinshanda, among them there were 2 tank divisions with 720 tanks. Starting from 15 kilometers south of Saiyinshanda City and ending at the bottom of Saiyinshanda City, the Soviet and Mongolian coalition forces deployed a total of 4 tanks. [-] lines of defense.According to the combat plan formulated by the Red Banner First Group Army Headquarters of the Soviet-Mongolian Allied Forces, the defense of Saiyinshanda could not only be defensive but not offensive. Therefore, the Red Banner First Group Army fully considered many factors such as defense and offense when formulating the combat plan, and finally worked out A battle plan that focuses on offense and supplements defense.

This battle plan is divided into two phases. The first phase is to use the superiority of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces to encircle and wipe out the Chinese division that is alone in depth. The strategic goal is to completely wipe out the division when Chen Feng's reinforcements arrive. If it is wiped out, it will be severely damaged.

The second stage is to change according to the situation on the battlefield. If the Chinese division can be completely wiped out and Chen Feng's headquarters can be severely damaged, then the front enemy headquarters must immediately report to the joint headquarters, requesting 10 to 15 reinforcements, and then immediately attack Chen Feng's troops. counterattack.If the Chinese division could not be completely annihilated or severely damaged, then all the troops would immediately move closer to Saiyin Shanda, and then use Saiyin Shanda's favorable terrain to block Chen Feng's attack.While killing and injuring the living forces going to the northern part of the Great Wall, they also had to constantly consume the supplies of Chen Feng's troops.

Due to the amazing performance of Chen Feng's troops, the Red Banner First Group Army Headquarters in charge of Saiyin Shanda's front line attached great importance to the Eighth War Zone Guard Division, an infantry division that dared to go deep alone.Therefore, Lieutenant General Vasilyev, commander-in-chief of the First Red Banner Army, deployed 2 infantry divisions and 2 tank divisions directly on the first line of defense, and also mobilized 4 artillery brigades for fire reinforcements.

On June 6, shortly after the Eighth War Zone Guard Division arrived in Saiyinshanda, the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces led by two tank divisions and followed by an infantry division. The unsteady Guard Division launched an attack. (To be continued..)
