"What's the solution? There is simply no way to think about it. , Vasilevsky spread his hands and said, "His qualifications are light" and he has just become a major general for only a year, "but his staff operations department is the core department of the base camp of the Supreme Command of Soviet Russia." Whether it is the "news and tactics of the Eastern Front" or the Western Front, they are involved.

But at this time, discussing the method of logistics supply boats on the Eastern Front did give him some headaches.

"As long as the main artery of the big railway is blocked", the other methods are only temporary. He said categorically at one of his staff officers.

"Maybe we can get some help from the day himself!" A colonel and staff officer said, "They all know about the peace talks with the Japanese themselves.

"It's not realistic at all," not to mention how much sincerity he can help us, "they can come up with very limited supplies." Their Kwantung Army also needed to guard against the Chinese, and the more poisonous forces may be being drawn to the south. Their own strategic supplies are not enough, "and how much can they support us?" Vasilevsky waved his hand and said.

"Even if the Japanese really promised to give us a sufficient amount of strategic supplies," I don't think we would necessarily be able to transport them to the border with the Soviet Union. There, the Chinese planes in the sky are constantly flying over the head of the big railway, "as long as there is a large-scale transportation of materials", I am sure that "the bombing opportunity of Huaxia will come soon", "even if they will not occupy it", the railway line will not be bombed, and not a single bullet will be transported. ”

Everyone was silent: "The air force of China has a desperate advantage", but they are now mainly active in Siberia, "the sky in the Far East can still have Soviet and Russian fighters circling", but when the time is certain, if the Chinese adjust the direction of attack, "I am afraid that the sky of the Far East will also be covered with the symbol of five yellow stars." Moscow has now admitted that the coalition's warplanes are already a little too far behind.

"Without those factories in Torilar," the industry of the Far East simply could not support a large-scale campaign. Similarly, without the Trans-Siberian Railway, "we rely on the road and rely on those limited trucks" cannot guarantee the supply of supplies to the front. Not to mention the fact that our ships bypassed most of the world "to reach the ports of the Far East." Finish. The interception of the Chinese could not ignore the fact that "so any large-scale transportation from the outside to support long-term war attrition" is unrealistic. The only thing we can do is "solve most of the problems right now with a jī fight." ”

"It's impossible to fight now!" Zhukov I. He rejected the advice put forward by the General Staff: ""The defense can be held for a while", waiting for the reservists to be integrated, and "if the offensive is now", not only will the losses be greater, but it may also cause the entire border defense line to collapse with it. ”

At that time, he was more familiar with the situation in the Far East, "now there is no superiority in weapons, there is no superiority in troops", and "once the attack is unfavorable and the defense line is overcome", the entire Far East will not be able to be cleaned up. It's better to stay up until the reserve forces catch up" and then fight a decisive battle.

We are very disadvantageous when we are "fighting on two fronts", the east and the west. It is necessary to understand as soon as possible: on the one hand, "whether you win or lose, you can accept it", the most taboo is long-term delay. The essence of the alliance is in Europe, and we should first of all ensure the security of our factories and the capital. To the east of Birdlar, even if it falls into chaos, the impact of the alliance will not be too great, "At most, we will retake it later." "Marshal Shabōshnikov squinted his eyes and stared at Zhukov and said"

"All we need now is to strike an all-out blow in the East, even if the armies in the Far East are defeated, it doesn't matter" as long as the Chinese know the difficulty and stop in Siberia or even east of the Cholar Mountains. You must know that the serious damage of the First World War "we can't stand it", and the Chinese people who came from afar can't stand it. A campaign with heavy casualties can solve a lot of unnecessary troubles, "and even a lot more reserve troops can be sent to support the more critical Western Front."

You should also understand that "the Chinese are not Germans."

Give them a Siberia and they will already be strung to death! ”

Zhukov was silent when he heard this, and he had already understood this time that "the tactical defeat of discarding more than 300,000 more cannon fodder" could lead to a strategic victory in the entire war.

"Maybe this is the difference between a general and a marshal!" He looked at the former chief of staff in front of him, known as the "brain of the Soviet army", and couldn't help but think of it.

Of course, the difference between the general and the supreme leader was even greater, and "Stalin thought about it for only three minutes" and agreed to Shabōshnikov's Western Front, with a focus on the calculation. The dilution of the strategic position of the Eastern Front was decided from the very beginning.

The decisive battle on the border of the Eastern Front on the Su Méng began in a hurry.

Both sides were not very well prepared.

The four legions of the Pioneer Cone Army "only reached about 300,000 men." The fully operational outer Méng sub-base "can only temporarily solve the logistical supply of 100,000 people." Thousands of kilometers away, there is no industry at all, "there is no support at all." Others need to be transported from the rear. Although the newly built railway was paved from Zamen, Bird, and Darhan, "it was not possible to complete it in a month", and the airlift forces were concentrated in Siberia and the Birdal region, and a large number of supplies on the border of Suméng could only be brought over little by little with the army.

In addition, it is also necessary to consider the "control of Siberia at the time" after the battle, so the materials stored when the army was first not dared to be sloppy, "preferring to delay time" to increase the strength. As soon as the Soviet-German war began, "the pressure on the Chinese side suddenly decreased", and all that remained was how to steadily carry out their own strategic deployment. If it weren't for the Soviet and Russian troops to attack first, "I'm afraid that the army on the Soviet border would have dragged on for another month."

Of course, the Soviet army, which took the lead in attacking, was not fully prepared, "there was a shortage of artillery and ammunition", and even food could not satisfy the nearly 300,000 troops. It was not that the rear route was cut off like the Outer Méng Expeditionary Force", but that the transportation was not timely.

The Russian army, which was full of bellies, ate up for two days. The grain "mixed everyone and after a full meal" went to the battlefield.

Since the four corps of the Pioneer Cone Army successively arrived in the vicinity of Dar Khan "from both the east and the west", the Soviet army abandoned the long supply route that had been caught by the wolf claws of the Pioneer Army, and "retreated backwards from Darkhan, who had repeatedly failed to attack. The Pioneer Army, which was quickly following the Soviet army, was confronted by the Soviet Russian army on the more than 300-kilometer Soviet border with Sukhbaatar as the center.

At about 4 o'clock on 27 May, "more than 1,200 artillery pieces of the Soviet army opened fire on nearly 100 artillery positions on this line," and more than a dozen tons of steel were poured overwhelmingly on the strategic targets of the Pioneer Army that had already been observed and marked on the opposite side in a matter of minutes.

Only three minutes later, "the artillery fire of the vanguard army began to counterattack", aiming directly at the artillery that was spewing flames in the Russian positions. Location. The shells that had been accumulating for a month bombarded at several times the number.

Although there is no counter-artillery radar, "after several months of preparation", "the land within a radius of 100 kilometers has been digitally coordinated", under the rapid calculation of the special artillery coordinate calibration group, "the artillery commander guarding in front of the radio station quickly conveyed the coordinates of the target one by one", and the artillerymen of the pioneer army fed with artillery shells quickly tacitly agreed with the rotation of the artillery gears. Raised cannons. The instantaneous burst of kinetic energy in the night sky "fell straight towards the target."

The scanning of the radar station began to act as a corner for the fire control radar, "calibrating the attack test fire of the vigilant artillery at the very edge", calibrating the exact coordinates of the Soviet and Russian artillery positions. However, because the border line has reached the edge of the direct jurisdiction of the sub-base, "the artillery positions farther away are no longer within the range of the warning artillery." It wasn't until ten minutes later that the first cone cannon rang out.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom'

Of course, the two vanguard cannons roared at a rate of one shot every 2 minutes, and after the whole heaven and earth, "there is no need for calibrated supplementary fire."

A ton of shells, fueled by gunpowder, "carried with it the muffled sound of metal grinding after the gates of hell opened" and brought about magma-like destruction. A Russian artillery position, often after one or two giant artillery shells, "fell back into the silence of the night in a cloud of mushrooms of martyrdom."

"Woo" and "the dull whistling swept from the territory of Soviet Russia to the positions of the first lock army", "passed through the sight of the soldiers on both sides praying in the trenches", and began to challenge the prestige of the first cone cannon.

"What's that? The colossal artillery of the Russians? Kong Ci, who had personally come to the front line to direct the artillery battle, felt a vibration from the direction of the first cone cannon, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Meng Xiang, who was thousands of miles away, received a prompt from the command center that the giant cannon was under attack, "He also looked curiously at the information related to the giant cannon platform operated by Hu Si and others", and then continued to busy with his affairs disappreciably, and muttered at the corner of his mouth: "Only one effective attack is only three shots", and it is only a 305 mm cannon.

The 305-mm train cannon that the Russians had finally moved up with great difficulty, the second-class first-cone cannon might be okay, "but the third-class vanguard cannon fortress that could resist the heavy attack of its own artillery" under normal circumstances, "the first-cone cannon that is not afraid of artillery shocks can be ignored from time to time." Without waiting for the smoke that enveloped the fortress of the cannon to dissipate, "The cannon of the cannon." Already taking care of the self-tuning cannon. "When he cooperated with another precursor cannon, he was in the position of the train cannon and blasted over.

"Boom", "behind the hammer of the four pre-cone cannons", a cloud of detonation flames that illuminated most of the night sky, and scattered parts erupted had already told the Russians that their efforts to resist the pre-cone cannon had failed.

In the whole night, "all that was left was the regular bombardment before the battle of more than 2,000 large and small artillery pieces on both sides." Until the trembling horizon "the morning sun of a new day rises." (To be continued...)
