readx; In addition to Qin Erhu's personal excellence, it has a great relationship with the promotion of the military, which needs domestic support to wage war and make the people support the military's attack on the Russian Republic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the military and political leaders in Nanjing unanimously agreed that attacking the Russian Republic was necessary and of great benefit, China and the Russian Republic have been a military alliance for more than 20 years, and they fought side by side against Soviet Russia in the past, and now they are helping Soviet Russia to fight the Russian Republic, which is unacceptable to many people in China, because it is a betrayal to say that it is not good.

In addition, it has been a month since the attack on the Russian Republic, and although the military has made rapid progress and occupied an area of thousands of miles, it has not yet been able to achieve a major victory in terms of military operations, a big victory that can calm other voices in the country.

In this case, it is reasonable for the military to push Qin Erhu out to boost morale.

However, no matter how good Qin Erhu's personal record is, it is not enough to affect the situation on the front line, it is just a battle involving millions of people, not to mention that Qin Erhu only shot hundreds of people, even if he shot thousands of people, it could not change the development of the battle, when the third platoon was defending that block, Qin Erhu shot more than 80 people alone, which accounted for a quarter of the overall record, but it still could not change the fact that the third platoon was finally forced to retreat.

The Fifth Army committed two infantry corps at Barnaul, the strength of four artillery brigades, and the whole of Barnaul was almost caught in a melee, with soldiers on both sides fighting each other with their own means, and although the troops of the Fifth Army continued to advance, they suffered huge casualties every day.

Even though the Kuomintang Socialist Party boasted about the superiority of the Chinese nation every day, it was not necessarily more powerful than foreigners in the war, and while it caused a large number of casualties among the Russian Defense Forces, the casualties of the Fifth Army were also very large.

However, none of this would change the Fifth Army's strategic actions, as the Battle of Barnaul was only one part of the battle, and the Chinese [***] side never put the breakthrough point of victory in Barnaul.

The biggest essence of the Chinese side is not the huge number of traditional infantry divisions, but the armored forces, and these dozen armored divisions and more than a dozen mechanized infantry divisions are the elite troops of the Chinese Army.

On the outskirts of Bruzovstan, camp tents covered the entire plain, and in the open space in front of the camp tents were countless tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, trucks, and all kinds of artillery.

In one of the tents, Chen Huajun was holding a meeting with several other generals.

Sitting above was Guo Chengdong, deputy commander of the Fifth Army, who was also the supreme commander of the Novosibirsk Armored Corps this time.

Guo Chengdong is also a veteran general in the Chinese Army, during the civil war was the rank of major general brigade commander, was promoted to lieutenant general in the late thirties, in terms of seniority, promotion to general is enough, and it is extremely rare that this person has been serving in the armored unit since the twenties, as the commander of the armored division, the division commander of the infantry division, the director of the armored department of the General Staff, the director of the armored weapons of the equipment department, and the commander of the armored army. He was a veritable armored general in the Chinese Army, and when he was about to fight against Russia, Chen Jingyun transferred him to the Fifth Group Army to serve as Fang Dashan's deputy, and what he valued was his rich experience in the use of armored forces.

"The State Military Council has approved our battle plan, according to the plan, this time this armored corps will consist of the 2nd Panzer Corps, the 4th Panzer Corps, and the 57th and 58th Divisions under the 6th Army, and our task is to bypass the middle of Barnaul and Biysk, and then go straight to Novosibirsk!" General Guo Chengdong said: "At the same time, the First Panzer Army will also attack from the northwest and cooperate with us to launch an offensive against Novosibirsk!" ”

The generals below are also the chief officers of the major mechanized troops, including Lieutenant General Sun Liren, the commander of the Second Armored Army, who was only one of the tens of thousands of ordinary officers of the Chinese Army in the early stage, but later he put forward the theory of large-depth combat of mechanized troops according to the rapid assault theory of the Chinese armored forces, which gradually developed into one of China's major military theories, and the founder of this theory was also quickly promoted, and the rank of lieutenant colonel soared all the way to lieutenant general, and it took less than ten years. It can be regarded as the leader of the generation of generals in the Chinese Army.

Sitting next to Sun Liren is Lieutenant General Feng Yuxiang, the commander of the Fourth Armored Army, and Sun Liren is different from the lieutenant general when he is young, Feng Yuxiang was born in Beiyang, and after the end of the civil war, he entered the national army with a large number of Beiyang generals, and Cao Kun, Xu Shuzheng and others formed the so-called Beiyang faction at that time, but later these Beiyang faction bosses were suppressed, Cao Kun and others were promoted to generals one after another and then transferred to the reserve, and the founding of the People's Republic of China was not five or six years after basically seeing the so-called Beiyang faction, However, a large number of middle-level officers from Beiyang still exist in large quantities, such as Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang are among the representatives, Wu Peifu was promoted to lieutenant general in the twenties, retired after the mid-thirties, was promoted to general before retiring, and finally retired with the rank of general.

In addition to these two army commanders, there are also a number of army staff officers, division commanders, and those who can be well-known to outsiders include Major General Jiang Tonghui, chief of staff of the Fourth Armored Army, and Major General Fu Zuoyi, director of the Sixth Division.

As Chen Jingyun's second son, Chen Huajun's reputation in the army is more familiar than that of his eldest brother Chen Huatian, after all, Chen Huatian has always stayed in Nanjing to work, while Chen Huajun has been in the field army all year round.

However, during the war, Chen Huajun also always paid attention to avoid his identity from causing too much trouble to others, after all, there are too many children of big families in the [***] official group, and almost all of the top families in China have descendants who join the army, if Chen Jingyun's sons are bad, then it will cause a very bad impact.

The people present are all generals, two lieutenant generals, a group of major generals, and these people are the main generals of this temporary armored corps, Cao Yangqing wants to lead them to run hundreds of kilometers away, and then conquer Novosibirsk, and then form a full-scale siege of the Russian army in the Barnaul area.

In order to better command this armored aircraft group, the State Military Commission formally ordered the establishment of the First Armored Corps, which has jurisdiction over the Second Armored Corps, the Fourth Armored Corps, the 57th Division, the 58th Division, the 3rd Mechanized Artillery Brigade, the 5th Mechanized Engineer Brigade, and the 13th, 14th, and 29th Transport Regiments.

The group army in the Chinese Army does not belong to a simple group army model, they serve as the responsibility of the theater command, subordinate armies or various temporary clusters, the first armored corps is a typical temporary cluster, specially formed for the Battle of Barnaul, after which it will be abolished, and the two motorized infantry divisions of the Sixth Army and other affiliated units will also be returned to the existing unit structure.

The entire First Armored Corps used more than 600 tanks, more than 1,000 tracked armored vehicles of various types, and more than 10,000 wheeled vehicles of various types, with a total strength of 150,000 troops, and these troops accounted for more than 80 percent of the mechanized strength of the Fifth Army.

In the past, the scale of ordinary campaigns was at most the size of an army, and it was directly a group army at the top, but now in order to command this armored force that far exceeds the size of the army, but is not as large as the group army, the command mode of the corps has been specially established. It can be regarded as a flexible command strategy when temporarily commanding large-scale battles.

On November 28, General Cao Yangqing led the 1st Armored Corps to leave the railway, and then carried out an ultra-long-distance operation in the northeast direction, countless armored vehicles and automobiles almost covered the entire world, those tracked vehicles ploughed out a line of advance on the snow, T15 tanks and T12 tanks can gallop on the snow with excellent off-road surnames.

However, when the tanks of the front line troops are advancing at full speed, the transport troops in the rear are facing a major challenge, although there are full preparations in advance, the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army together have enough to make up three heavy truck transport regiments, and the First Armored Corps provides long-distance supplies, but as the First Armored Corps goes deeper and deeper into the Russian hinterland, the supply routes are getting farther and farther, the original transport regiments are not enough, and this is still in winter, if it is summer, The thawing of the frozen soil in the wilderness would turn Russia into a huge swamp, and at that time, it would be difficult to transport supplies over long distances, let alone provide supplies over long distances.

It is precisely because of the difficulties in the transportation of supplies in spring and summer that this is an important reason why China chose to launch a large-scale attack on the Russian Republic in winter, because the Chinese army would rather fight in the winter in the freezing cold of tens of degrees below zero, rather than face the huge quagmire of Russia.

Tens of thousands of vehicles of all kinds are heading towards the hinterland of Russia, and the long-distance march makes it difficult to replenish supplies, but also makes a large number of vehicles break down, and sometimes in order to prevent these broken down tanks or trucks from blocking the pace of the army behind, they even directly push down the roadside abandonment.

This offensive line paved by a torrent of steel!
