Chapter 633 - Towards the predetermined goal
Meng Xiang did not continue to do his experiments, the wolves in the north have solved all the problems, and it is rare to have a suitable experimental target┏:┃ And he has not been on the front line for a short time, and he needs to go back.
The front-line patrol is not to lead the troops to fight on the front line, and it is impossible for the rear to leave his seat for a long time, and now his role is not only the supreme commander of an army, but also the head of a state power.
After Sun Chu, who was guarding the inner gate in the rear, personally led the army to strengthen the defensive front in the early morning of May 1, the Russians could no longer attack, not only did the fourth trench system not be captured, but even the third trench system was half recovered by the vanguard army. In the tug-of-war, the last courage of the Soviet Russians was completely consumed.
The morale of the vanguard army has been greatly boosted, and Meng Xiang can leave in the open.
Half of the interceptors dispatched by the Russians were wiped out by the dogs patrolling around, and the rest disappeared in the people's war. Even if they guarded, they would get nothing, and when Meng Xiang left, a special Black Hawk helicopter arrived to greet him and directly took him to the airport near Erenhot. As for the fighters that the Russians intended to intercept desperately, with the surveillance of radar stations, they did not have a chance to sneak attack at all. In the rounds of air raids and air battles of the vanguard army, it has also been almost consumed.
Since the start of the war in March, this air battle over the Outer Gate Grape has been staged almost every day. From a dozen planes to a dozen planes, to hundreds of planes. The scale of the fighters put into operation by both sides is no worse than that of the air battle over the British Isles. It's just that the results of the two sides are more different than those between Britain and Germany. Even if the Russians had a larger number of aircraft, the gap in aircraft performance could not be bridged.
Even though Soviet Russia publicized the feat of shooting down more than 300 enemy planes, this figure would have shrunk by more than half under the number of statistics and checks that the vanguard army had to count and check every day. By the time Meng Xianglai opened the front, the vanguard army had lost a total of 69 fighters and attack aircraft, 17 bombers of various types, and 13 transport aircraft. This data includes the number of aircraft lost in various accidents, and the accident rate caused by night and frequent takeoffs and landings is still relatively high.
In stark contrast, according to the detailed verification of the photographs on the planes and the intelligence of the spies in the Soviet and Russian armies, the number of Soviet and Russian planes of various types shot down in air battles alone has reached more than 700, and in the attack on Soviet and Russian airports, at least more than 300 planes were directly blown up in front of the runway.
The Russians did not admit defeat again and again, and sent planes from all over the country to attack the vanguard air force that held the authority of the sky, but in addition to their commendable courage, they could not change much. Slowly, the Russians also found out that if this continued, their pilots had lost too much. Unlike every pilot of the Vanguard Army, who would do his best to save it, most of the Russian pilots were either killed in battle or directly captured by the Vanguard Army, and very few could be rescued unharmed. At first, the Russians didn't care, but after a long time, the pilots began to be in short supply, and the Russians had to think about this problem.
Of course, there is a shortage of qualified pilots, and there are a large number of flight cadets who have only flown for a few dozen hours.
"Your classroom is the sky, and the place where you mature is the battlefield!" Instructions from Moscow have turned these rookies into new cannon fodder.
"When the sky is full of sparrows, even eagles are afraid!" In the consciousness of the Soviet Russians, cheap human life was once again integrated into the strategic thinking of the sea of people in the sky with great ideals.
I have to say that the battlefield is very tempering, and the Soviet Russians relied on these pilots who were cultivated under the smoke of gunpowder to crush many of Germany's aces. But now they're hitting a wall here in the vanguard.
The many new aircraft of Soviet Russia in World War II were powerful weapons against German ace aircraft, and some aircraft were even more advanced than the Germans. But now their pre-World War II vintage aircraft and the late World War II aircraft commonly used by the vanguard army are not at all a grade. Although it is not as exaggerated as Iraq is to the United States, the gap in weapons really makes the Soviet and Russian air forces powerless.
The planes of the vanguard army were either unable to penetrate or returned with dense bullet holes, while the old planes of Soviet Russia could only become torches in the air again and again.
After many tragedies of the Russians, they have slowly reduced the gladiatorial battles in the air with the vanguard army. And strengthened the protection and concealment of the airport, so that the vanguard army's achievements are gradually decreasing.
However, this time, after they got the news that Meng Xiang was leaving, the vanguard army deliberately released the news, and once again dispatched the scale of hundreds of planes to speculate, but they were faced with thunder and lightning and traps arranged by hellcats.
After another 47-5 victory in the air battle, Meng Xiangcai left slowly and methodically in the Black Hawk helicopter that came to pick him up, and transferred to a special plane modified from a 130 Hercules transport plane and flew all the way to Chang'an.
……
Meng Xiang's return did not alarm too many people, but many things needed his personal instructions.
First of all, there is a military conference.
A group of military advisers, who were already near the staff headquarters and headquarters, were quickly assembled.
Seeing Meng Xiang's safe return, Fan Chong, who had always been anxious, finally put his mind at ease, pointed to the map and first demonstrated the situation in the past few days and said: "Since we adopted guerrilla tactics, the threat from the north is not so great! Even though we have only about 30,000 people operating in the far north, it will not be so easy for the Russians to open this passage. ”
"I heard that the number of Russians gathered in the north has exceeded 200,000, and they are still mobilizing?" Xu Yongchang said bluntly. Some time ago, he went to Shanxi to help prepare and adjust the collection and transportation of logistical materials, and he spent less time at the headquarters, but he was one of the standing committee members of the newly established Military Committee of the National Defense Forces.
This big man, who was called by later generations and had all the virtues of a Chinese soldier in troubled times, although he was the backbone of the Jin system, Yan Xishan withdrew from the military circles, and he was the one who entered the top echelons of the vanguard army. But between his factions and the country, he is more biased towards the overall situation of the country. This made Meng Xiang very relieved.
"It is true that the Russians have mobilized more than 200,000 troops, but it is estimated that this number will not increase much. The Far East is where they will focus on defense, and at least 300,000 troops will always be kept to defend against people. They also need 200,000 troops to maintain law and order and logistics along their long borders and vast areas, and they may be able to draw 100,000 of the rest, and even some of the troops are drawn from the Western Siberian and Ural Military Districts. ”
"Even if there are 300,000 troops, it's not easy!" Bai Chongxi, who had just arrived, was still only in the name of a military adviser, but on this occasion, he also unceremoniously raised his voice.
The negotiations between the Vanguard Army and the Gui Department were still ongoing, and some things had not yet been finalized, but Bai Chongxi couldn't help but rush to the headquarters of the Vanguard Army to participate in this large-scale military operation.
The battle of millions of troops on both sides in the outer gate g is definitely world-renowned, which makes him itchy and unbearable, and the meaning of this battle is different, recovering the outer gate g and challenging Soviet Russia, as a Chinese soldier, it is naturally an unshirkable responsibility, not to mention, the prestige of participating in this battle can also make the Gui family profit more. So Bai Chongxi didn't wait for Huang Shaohong to negotiate with Tang Yaoshi, so he came early.
It's a pity that I didn't meet Meng Xiang before. Now that I have seen Meng Xiang, I naturally need to show my heart and add points to the Gui family.
"In the next step, we will abandon Sukhbaatar and defend Darhan, so as to lengthen the transportation lines of Soviet Russia. It is only necessary to pinch the lifeblood of the line of communication, and no matter how many people in Soviet Russia do, it will not work. And our support will arrive one after another, and the total size near the border line will reach 50,000 in three days. 50,000 mechanized troops were enough to cut off the transport corridor from Soviet Russia to Urabaatar. But Fan Chong didn't give him a chance to give advice, and smiled indifferently.
Bai Chongxi stopped talking when he heard this. He also roughly understood the power of mechanized troops, and if 50,000 mechanized troops crisscrossed the grassland, their combat effectiveness would be no less than that of 300,000 infantry.
Meng Xiang didn't say anything, just smiled and listened, but when his eyes swept over Bai Chongxi and Xu Yongchang, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
During the Anti-Japanese War, in the Central Military Commission, He Yingqin, Xu Yongchang, Bai Chongxi and Chen Cheng were the four giants, and now Xu Yongchang has joined the vanguard army, and now Bai Chongxi is also going to join the gang, he naturally has a sense of accomplishment in his heart. As for He Yingqin and Chen Cheng, there is no hope, but now it is a foregone conclusion that the vanguard army will be in charge of Huaxia.
Except for the Central Army, which was stationed in Sichuan and some areas of Guizhou, and Longyun which was stationed in Yunnan, except for the Northeast Manchurian and some areas near Guangzhou, which had not yet been cleared up, all the others in China had already been included in the territory of the vanguard army.
In these places, various policies to benefit the people and the formation of new parliaments are underway. Under the banner of foreign war, some unstable areas have also begun to stabilize. Everything is moving towards the intended goal.
And the rest just had to wait for news from the Germans.
"Half a step ahead of the Germans, so that we can get the maximum benefit at the least cost! Otherwise, once the next plan assassinated Stalin, the losses would have been great. Let's let Lao Xi go crazy first. Meng Xiang smiled in his heart. ro!
