"I didn't need to fight so fast!" Meng Xiang smiled and shook his head.

The street fighting in Novosibirsk, which he judged to be probable, did not fully break out.

The first city in Siberia was larger than Stalingrad, but otherwise it was much worse than Stalingrad.

First of all, the Soviet Russian troops at this time did not have such a stubborn will to resist. Moreover, there was also the instigation and infiltration of the White Russian Resistance Organizations, and the Soviet Russian officers and soldiers who had just gone through the stage of the Great Purge had not yet entered a state of not being afraid of death.

Li Tiexia bombarded all the way, coupled with the encirclement on three sides, leaving the east road.

Although the material bombs brought in were blocked from time to time, they did not intercept the civilians who walked out, which also left the hope of evacuation for the officers and soldiers who deserted. After all, setting up a model and fighting hard in a crisis are two different concepts. On the one hand, there was heavy artillery bombardment, and on the other hand, there was a possible way to escape, and at this time, the focus of Moscow's top brass was on the Western Front, where the law enforcement team was not as strong as Stalingrad.

At the same time, Soviet Russia's logistical support was difficult to maintain. At the time of Stalingrad, the advantages of Europe's convenient land and inland ports supported the supply of the entire defense war from behind. At this time, in Novosibirsk, the Russians had not yet burst out with the enthusiasm to fight for the whole country, not to mention the support of the logistics system of the outside world, that is, all kinds of materials in the city were difficult to maintain.

Although the vanguard army did not fight for airborne, the war materials and ammunition arsenals of the Soviet Russians were attacked by bombs, agents, and spies at the first time. Those arsenals also quickly died out in the bombardment of heavy artillery and aircraft. You know, many of the weapons in Stalingrad went straight from the workshop to the battlefield. In just one month, the Russians produced more than a thousand tanks.

At this time, this kind of sentiment of the Soviet Russians had not yet burst out, and the factories that had long been scouted and collected by the spies of the vanguard army were in ruins.

In this point of intelligence, the vanguard army did far more than the Germans. And the output in firepower is not bad either. Li Tiexia successively used more than 400 mén 150 mm heavy artillery, but he trained a Jīng British heavy artillery unit. With a little grinding, many Soviet and Russian troops were directly squeezed out of the city, and they were wiped out in the field by the reinforcements that came.

Although Stalin wanted to set an example, the vanguard army would not allow the Russians to lay out the city as a fortified city. The Russians came to support about 100,000 troops at the cost of an equal number of reinforcements on the way here. And the recruits in the reinforcements naturally couldn't compare with the vanguard army of the equipped jīng liang who had been trained in street fighting.

In a word. At this time, the Soviet Russian army was not the terrible army that was indifferent to life and death in the late stage of World War II, and the occasional flash was not enough to glorify the overall situation. The vanguard army was more prepared than the exhausted German army, so the battle of Stalingrad that Meng Xiang predicted did not start in Novosibirsk, and there was no stubborn mass resistance even elsewhere.

It can be said that the battle of Novosibirsk City was already a battle for one of the few offensive battles of the vanguard army. Ulan-Ude, which was also heavily defended, was captured by the vanguard after only a week's attack. The Soviet and Russian troops defending the city had not yet come out of the shadow of the defeat in the battle of the Soviet-Lenin border, and the open passage on the east side pushed again on their hesitant and frightened hearts.

No matter how nice the evacuation sounds, it is also an escape. There is a vanguard army chasing behind, and temporarily outperforming the others has become the instinct of the defeated army.

The troops fleeing from the Su-Ün front broke down the defenses of Ulan-Ude, and the armored units of the vanguard army that followed closely behind them immediately rushed into Ulan-Ude. Húnluàn's defeat made it impossible for the Russian commanders to organize an effective counterattack. If it weren't for the trouble of cleaning up the street battles in the city, it wouldn't even be able to use it for three days.

The defeated army was driven eastward by the vanguard, flooding the towns and cities along the way, and finally being stopped by machine guns at the heavily fortified Chita Valley.

And the vanguard army also stopped at Chita, and did not attack.

"Why did you suddenly stop and stop the pursuit?" Fu Zuoyi has always been known for his good guards, but this time he also chased the enemy for thousands of miles, which made him feel very happy. Just when chasing to the vicinity of Chita. An order came from above, asking for a postponement of the pursuit, to consolidate the current front, and to imprison many of his subordinates who were pursuing Zhengshuang all the way. Although he also guessed part of the reason in his heart, he still went to Sun Tongxuan to explore.

"Although we eliminated a lot of Soviet and Russian troops along the way. But in a snowballing way, the Russian rout was concentrated in Chita, and with the emergency conscription order, at least 300,000 troops have now gathered around Chita. It can be said that the rest of the Transbaikal Front is here. Sun Tongxuan said with a smile.

"300,000 troops, you and I can also break them with one blow!" Fu Zuoyi said confidently. At this time, the Soviet Russian soldiers he came into contact with were not even as good as the Japanese themselves, they did not have the sharpness to fight to the death at all, and at most they were better equipped. Even if the two major armies of Fu Zuoyi and Sun Tongxuan have not yet all the troops in place, they still have more than 200,000 troops. Plus the armored forces are all on the front line, it is enough for a battle.

"I'm afraid there are other arrangements up there!" Sun Tongxuan hesitated slightly.

"But you're worried about the Kwantung Army?" Fu Zuoyi said bluntly.

"The three-legged momentum, a slight imbalance, will inevitably implicate a wide range of people!" Sun Tongxuan nodded in response. Many people can see this situation, in the recent battle of Noménkan, the Japanese themselves suffered losses and retreated, and Huaxia only held the position of the former Soviet Russia and did not continue to move forward. It was also bī who was worried. Japan-Soviet alliance.

This time, if the bī is too coerced, the Russians may also put aside their grievances with the Japanese themselves and jointly deal with Huaxia.

Everyone didn't know the power of the base, but they didn't have as much confidence as Meng Xiang. It was believed that China could resist the all-out onslaught of Soviet Russia and Japan at the same time.

"In fact, it maintains the momentum of the Far East, annexing and digesting Siberia first. ォ is the most important at the moment. After all, we are more concerned about the territorial disputes in the Far East. Fu Zuoyi smiled and said.

"And the day itself is about to go south, so there is no need to stab them again!" Sun Tongxuan also smiled and responded.

The vision of these people is no longer limited to the generals in the army, and after many years of warlord career, they have developed their own small forces, and it is impossible not to care about politics. Coupled with the abundance of timely intelligence in the vanguard army, they all have access to a lot of secrets. After some guessing, I also have a general understanding of the intentions of my superiors.

"Occupy the pot first, then eat the bowl!" When Meng Xiang and Fan Chong discussed, what they said was more straightforward.

At this time, the Russians were being beaten on both sides, so if they didn't take the opportunity to beat the water dogs, when would they wait? If the Russians had recovered their breath, the pressure on the Urals and Siberia, close to the heart of Europe, would have been even greater.

"The Germans are now very proud that they have included the European part of Soviet Russia in the sphere of influence. On the one hand, it was expected that we would put pressure on Soviet Russia from the Eastern Front, and on the other hand, it was feared that we would cross the Urals and plunder Europe. Meng Xiang said indifferently. At present, China is not suitable to have too many conflicts of interest with the Germans, and the two sides have tacitly accepted the Eurasian border as their own sphere of influence.

"That's exactly what I wanted! Then a large area of the northern territory needs time to absorb and digest, and the Urals can delineate the scope and occupy the initiative. Wait until these places are stabilized, and then clean up the Far East. Such a large territory is enough to keep us busy for a long time! Fan Chong also knew about this for a long time, and he still had a little bit of movement in his heart.

By this time, the vanguard army had already occupied most of Siberia. In modern times, China has never seized so much land in a foreign war, and it is against a powerful country like Soviet Russia. This is more outstanding than the exploits of the Han and Tang dynasties to pursue Hu Lu, and it will surely go down in history. Thinking of this, Fan Chong's heart moved slightly, and he was even more cautious about those plans, lest something go wrong and the good situation would be ruined.

The war in the north had stretched the logistical support of the vanguard army to the limit, and he naturally did not approve of rashly setting foot in Europe and entangled with those old European empires. Facing the two opponents of Japan and the Soviet Union, he was already worried in his heart.

Stopping at Chita and maintaining the balance of the power of the three countries in the Far East was also the strategy he proposed to plug the needle in the Japanese-Soviet alliance.

"The Far East, which has been cut off from its homeland, is not a threat. Similarly, as long as the "Day" himself falls into the quagmire of going south, we will recover the Northeast and other places by the way! Meng Xiang was also unwilling to let the Ri himself feel the imminent threat from the north, and slowed down the pace of the south, so he agreed to push the boat along the water.

"Yes, and only if the north is stabilized, I can move troops to the south and fight a piece of heaven and earth!" Fan Chong nodded and said, the expectation of the southern conquest and the northern war to open up a great territory that has never been seen in the history of China still makes the small fire in his heart continue to ignite.

And Meng Xiang, who had an indifferent expression next to him, was not only calculating the increasingly tight supply of the base, but also constantly deducing and analyzing the changes in the international situation.

The vanguard army stopped at Chita, and Meng Xiang also took into account the changes in the international situation. The sudden emergence of Huaxia was no longer more than a threat from Japan and the Soviet Union, and based on various intelligence analysis, Britain and the United States had already listed Huaxia as an invisible ally of the Germans and a powerful competitor in the future, and was classified as a target for preparing for attack. And the Germans were also wary of the Chinese army that was pressed to the borders of Europe. With the addition of Japan and the Soviet Union, China has been too deeply involved in this global conflict of interests.

"The offensive is too fierce and the expansion is too fast, which is also not a good phenomenon!" Meng Xiang thought that his global layout, and even the development foundation of the entire Chinese economy, science and technology and other aspects of development had not yet been consolidated, and he couldn't help but secretly vigilantly said, "The next step is to stabilize the interior, first cultivate the internal strength, and wait for the world to change dramatically." ”！。
