As far as the second-line troops are concerned, they have also undergone rigorous training and eventually become an army, and in terms of strictness, they are not even worse than the regular armies of other countries.

After all, even the United States, with a population of more than 100 million, has a mobilization capacity of only about 10 million, and a 10:1 mobilization capacity, except in the face of life and death, will be mobilized regardless of the cost, and there may be 2 million of the most elite troops among the middle choices.

However, China has nearly 500 million people, and even if it is a 10:1 mobilization capacity, it can arm at least 50 million, which is a terrifying number.

At present, China's regular army, even with the addition of some second-line troops, is unlikely to exceed 10 million, and there is a huge amount of space, and the selection of troops is relatively arbitrary, and some soldiers who can enter the first-line troops are filled into the second-line troops.

In this way, the lack of combat effectiveness of the second-line troops compared with the first-line troops is above the firepower and technical personnel, and it is also that this loophole is mainly caused by the second-line troops, which may cause huge casualties in the battle with Russia, if it is the three main field armies, it is completely possible to build enough defensive positions in one day, and then form a hard rock to fight with the opponent near Xingkai Lake, and then lure the surrounding troops to encircle and annihilate the 300,000. Give the Battle of Vladivostok a good start.

In this case, airdrops are indeed a good choice. even a day to the level of the construction team. It is not impossible to build a simple field airfield.

On the establishment of field airfields. According to the research of the Yinshan base, the study of building a simple field airfield with steel plates, and after the runway was decomposed, 13 sets were finally produced, as long as a place can be leveled, it can accommodate medium-sized aircraft to take off and land, as for the four strategic aircraft, it is an absolute national heavy weapon, and the take-off weight is huge. A runway of at least 10,000 meters or even longer is needed, which is not something that a simple field airfield can solve.

Among the second-line troops, the weakest is artillery fire, not basic artillery fire, and now, under the premise that war has broken out, as long as it is to fight abroad. Even the second-line troops have popularized part of the materiel, and what is lacking is the top-level artillery, if this part is replenished. With the combat effectiveness shown by the Russian army, it is impossible to attack 3 divisions with sufficient artillery and defensive gradients.

Although the meeting is still ongoing. However, most of the participants agreed with Zhang Xiaohuai's plan, and the advance arrangements have been made. 2 complete sets of 4000 meters of steel runway will be packed immediately. First sent to Xingkai Lake, this is pure steel plate, and there are also shockproof materials in the packing materials, which can be dropped by parachute, the engineering troops and the second-line troops will first arrange the field airfield, at most 12 hours, the two field airfields will be completed, while arranging the field airfield, in the nearest Changchun, Jilin, 3 brigades will be mobilized, 144 medium aircraft will carry enough artillery and technicians, even the gunners can follow the artillery past, not too much, 3 divisions support 108 155 guns, It is enough to go to Xingkai Lake, replenish the second-line troops, and form a relatively solid defense.

After four hours of study, all the plans were decided, and at this moment, the three divisions of Xingkai Lake, which were intensively building fortifications, also received complete orders.

To tell the truth, this morning, the news from the reconnaissance plane startled them, they themselves have already begun to move, next to Xingkai Lake, is a relatively rich place, the population is a little larger, this is originally a key area, it will take a week or more to retreat.

The second-line troops of the 3 divisions are also prepared for this to ensure a successful migration, but now, 300,000 Russian troops are pressed over, it is conceivable that at this critical moment, they still dare to go out of the crowd, and they are certainly not ordinary troops, although the Russian army is poor, but it is not completely bad and it can't work, some troops are also quite powerful, 4 times the gap, or the Russian army above the level, and the division commanders of the 3 divisions are almost a little desperate.

At this critical moment, strict training and discipline still prevail, no matter what, the meal must be eaten bite by bite, and the battle must be fought again and again, behind it is the entire Northeast, if you retreat at this time, not only Xingkai Lake can not get, but also affect the overall strategy.

Even without the order of the General Staff, they are all making preparations, they know the situation around Xingkai Lake, and there is even the best place to arrange positions, just on one side, only 800 meters away from the lake in a hilly area, there are no too high peaks here, but a series of high ground of more than 80 meters, just enough for their three divisions to deploy and build a position to cover each other.

A few hours later, a specific battle order was issued, the focus was, of course, on the hill, but there was also a plan for a field airfield, and they had to draw all the machinery and a large number of soldiers to build two field airfields in the shortest possible time.

The commander of the second-line division does not know much about the strategic air force in the northwest, but an order is an order, and the execution is the strongest place in the northwest, extending to the current Chinese National Defense Force, the same is true, the three divisions transferred almost half of the personnel and began to build a field airfield, which took a full three hours, the open space of the field airfield was cleared, and the preliminary leveling was carried out by excavators and rollers.

When the leveling was completed, it was almost 40 minutes earlier than scheduled, and it was only 40 minutes to fly 12 heavy transport planes, transporting 2 sets of steel combined runways, began to speed up, and it took only 20 minutes to fly into the air and start airdropping, including not only 24 huge, packaged packages, but also professional and technical personnel carried by 20 special combat personnel, even if it is a combined runway, it also needs professionals.

According to the prediction of the General Staff, it will take at least 5 hours to complete the overall assembly, that is to say, the medium-sized aircraft taking off from Changchun must land at night.

At night, at about 8 o'clock, in the dark night, countless points of light illuminated the Xingkai Lake side of some bright lights, 144 aircraft, carrying 108 155 heavy guns and more than 200 heavy guns of more than 100 mm, as well as 6,000 specially reinforced professional and technical artillery, these regardless of the cost of investment, immediately strengthened the three second-line divisions into the firepower of the whole of China.

Aircraft one after another, smoothly parked on the steel runway that has just been established, and only a country as strong as China can be so cost-free, the cost of 144 medium-sized transport aircraft is needless to say, the cost of these steel runways is amazing enough, even if it can be reused, but packaging and repair, the cost of money is quite high.

The commanders of the three divisions are qualified to know the next battle plan, and they are also full of expectations for this battle, although they are second-line divisions, but the second-line divisions also have pride and expect to fight, and now, all the reinforcements have arrived, and the firepower is one step higher than that of the field army, to some extent, this is also a battle to prove them.

Next, after completely coming down from 10 o'clock, the arrangement of artillery positions and defensive positions has not stopped, and the time is a little less, although the Russian army is still at least 35 kilometers away, and it may not be until dusk tomorrow, or even the day after tomorrow to launch an attack, but the earlier the construction is earlier, the greater the protection capacity, even if there is a strengthening of artillery, in terms of personnel and combat effectiveness, the Chinese army is still at a comparative disadvantage, at least to withstand several waves of attacks by the Russian army, and the sharp spirit of the Russian army can be mistaken.

After spending a night in tension, a large number of planes have already left, this is a field airfield, there is even only one runway, not even a hangar, the location is far enough, but the personnel of the second-line division are limited, and the defense has taken up a lot of their energy, and there is no time to take care of these planes anymore, fortunately, the planes will fly back to Changchun, with the distance from Changchun to here, even if there is any problem, the planes can arrive quickly, not for transportation, but to provide them with direct help, such as bombing.

In fact, the Russian army is not so desperate, there is no choice of day and night, for them, the combat intention, still stay in the old methods of warfare, retaining a distance of 35 kilometers is deliberate, tomorrow they will use a daytime to rush to the vicinity of the battle line, and then rest for a night, to attack on the third day, they do not know, their slowness, will make them face an almost invincible opponent.

For a whole day, with the efforts of machinery and personnel, the most complete fortifications were built in the hilly area, and under the condition that cement could not be used, it reached the extreme, and some important locations also used part of the quick-drying cement, of course, the strength of this cement was limited, just to do some connecting work, and in this way, this hilly area familiar to the Russian army also changed.

On the night before the arrival of the Russian army, the mentality of the Chinese army was relaxed, and after a few days of fatigue, the soldiers had a good night's sleep, and the Russian army could not touch it under the monitoring of the special forces, and they were ready to face the challenge of the Russian army in the best state, and strive to give them a head-on blow.

In the midst of the strict formation, the Russian army finally arrived on the third day, they looked at the dense defensive positions, hesitated, did not choose to attack at the first time, this was expected to be a different style of painting, this is obviously prepared for a long time, there is no panic at all, they are not in a hurry to attack, stationed down.
