readx; At the Novosibirsk Railway Station in the area controlled by the Russian Provisional Political Axe, Major General Chen Weihua, the commander of the 7th Division, who had just arrived in Novosibirsk, stepped off the train and saw Major General Zhuang Xianhe, chief of staff of the 12th Army, and then walked over with a smile on his face: "Brother Zhuang, I've kept you waiting!" ”

Zhuang Xianhe laughed and said: "Don't get in the way, it's good to come here, I thought you would delay for two days after I heard that the railway was destroyed by the guerrillas!" ”

"The damage to the railway is not serious, and it will only be delayed for half a day after the emergency repair!" After Chen Weihua said this, he said coldly: "As for those guerrillas, hum! I slaughtered all three nearby villages, and I wanted to see who would supply the guerrillas in the future. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

When Zhuang Xianhe heard Chen Weihua's words, although his expression remained unchanged, he also felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't say a disgust in his heart.

He Zhuang Xianhe is an old man during the Fujian Uprising, speaking of qualifications, he is not worse than Li Jimin and Lin Zhaomin, he is also one of the early math masters of the National Army, but it has been stagnant over the years, especially in the Northern Expedition and the Qingdao Campaign and the Southwest War, he did not get any great credit, this is not a military merit naturally can not be promoted, as for the promotion by seniority Although he is enough, but now there is no reunification for a few years, if you want to be promoted to lieutenant general purely by seniority, it is estimated that it will take more than ten years later. If you want to be promoted in a short period of time, in addition to qualifications and background, you must also have military merits that can be used.

So when Shen Gang and Li Jimin became generals one by one, and even Xu Lishan, their former subordinate, became generals, he still held the rank of major general.

And Chen Weihua, who was standing opposite him, said that it was more tragic than him, you must know that in the Southern Jiangsu Campaign that year, as the head of Chen Jingyun's four brigade officers in the second battalion, Chen Weihua, the descendant of the lineage, was the division commander in the first division of the national army's number one ace, but in the battle of Zhenjiang, Chen Weihua was defeated by Tang Tianxi, and the heavy losses almost led to the loss of Zhenjiang. As soon as this incident came out, Chen Jingyun immediately removed him from his post and transferred Shen Gang, who was still in Guangzhou at the time, to take over as the commander of the First Division to save the situation.

In other words, Shen Gang's path over the years should have been his Chen Weihua's way, if he hadn't been defeated back then, then today's Shen Gang is his Chen Weihua!! Every time I think of this, Chen Weihua can't sleep at night, and when I think of Tang Tianxi, who had defeated him, I gritted my teeth with hatred, and when Tang Tianxi was forced to follow Cao Kun and surrender to Chen Jingyun, Chen Weihua was strongly opposed. However, Chen Jingyun still values Tang Tianxi's talent, and there are so many generals in Beiyang, he can't be dissatisfied because Tang Tianxi once defeated his first division, standing in Chen Jingyun's position, this Tang Tianxi used it well, so that he could give full play to the kind of military talent he had back then, so he would have one more general under him, so he first arranged for Tang Tianxi and others to go to the Army University for a year, and later entered the General Staff, and then was transferred to the Fifth Army as Chief of Staff. In addition to Xu Shuzheng, Cao Kun and a few other Beiyang generals with real power, the first Beiyang general in an important position is faster than Wu Peifu's promotion, you must know that Wu Peifu is only a deputy director of the General Staff.

Although Chen Weihua wanted to swallow Tang Tianxi alive, but after being snubbed by Chen Jingyun for a few years, he understood the warmth and coldness of human feelings, fortunately, he also had a younger brother Major General Chen Weitong who served as the president's attendant military attache, although his younger brother Chen Weitong had never been on the battlefield, but he took over Chen Cai as the captain of Chen Jingyun's guard from the era of Fujian military and political axes, and the guard team was reformed into the attendant military attache room, and he became the head of Chen, and he has blocked countless assassinations for Chen Jingyun in the past few years. Before the reunification, he blocked the bullets of the Beiyang assassins for Chen Jingyun in front of Chen Jingyun in Fuzhou, and by virtue of his credit for blocking bullets for Chen Jingyun, it was enough to make Chen Weitong one of Chen Jingyun's most trusted subordinates, and people said that Chen Jingyun had two dogs by his side, one was Chen Cai of the Investigation Bureau, and the other was Yu Shifeng of the Secretariat. However, the high-level leaders in the republican political axe system are all clear that although these two people have won Chen Jingyun's deep trust, their status in Chen Jingyun's heart is far less important than Chen Weitong. The specific difference is that Chen Jingyun explained things to Chen Cai and Yu Shifeng to handle them, while Chen Weitong and Chen Jingyun entrusted his surname to him.

Chen Weitong, who has never been in the limelight, is not famous in the eyes of the public and even officials, but his weight is not light, even his brother Chen Weihua has been affected, if it were not for Chen Weitong over the years, he Chen Weihua would not have been removed from office and reinstated a year later, and together he was the director of the Strategy Department, and then he was the director of the Operations Department for half a year after Guo Hengsi, although he was not the director of the Operations Department for a long time, but this also gave him excellent qualifications for a comeback. According to the experience of several directors of the Operations Department, he, like Shen Gang, Liang Xunqin, Chen Yi, Guo Hengsi, and other former directors of the Operations Department, was directly delegated to the division to serve as division commanders. This experience is a necessary experience for Chen Yi and Guo Hengsi and others to be promoted, but for Chen Weihua, it was a waste of several years of youth and silence for many years before he returned to his former status, and what hit him even more was that the important surnames of the division commander back then and the current division commander were very different.

Affected by this, his whole surname has also changed, especially after being transferred to Russia as the commander of the Seventh Division, it has exposed the most evil side of his heart, and he wants to spread all the guilt he has suffered in the past few years, when other troops stationed in Russia are staying safely along the railway, he is leading his troops to attack everywhere in the jurisdiction, sweeping away the local partisans, and often doing things to massacre innocent Russian people, his behavior was strongly protested by the Russian Provisional Political Axe, So much so that Shen Gang had to call him in person to reprimand him not to go too far, but because his seventh division was in Russia, and the slaughter was also Russian, Shen Gang's bigwigs just reprimanded him and disappeared, although Chen Weihua later restrained a lot, but after the most evil side of his heart was stimulated, it was impossible to completely take it back.

No, when he led the troops to the west for reinforcements, he happened to encounter the guerrillas who sabotaged the railway, which directly caused his troops to be forced to delay for half a day, and Chen Weihua, who was furious, failed to find any trace of the guerrillas in the vicinity, so he once again committed a massacre, and slaughtered hundreds of people in several nearby villages at once.

Zhuang Xianhe didn't have any disgust with Chen Weihua, but he was still disgusted by his open-minded talk about how many people he had slaughtered, so he changed the topic: "By the way, what about the military headquarters task force armored regiment, it's also with you!" ”

"It's all here, this task force is too much equipment, and the equipment of more than 3,000 troops in a mere regiment is about to catch up with one of my divisions!" When Chen Weihua spoke, he pointed to an army major general in the distance and said, "No, it's the team he leads!" ”

Speaking of this, Chen Weihua felt the need to remind Zhuang Xianhe: "You should also know him, it is Lin Yongfei!" ”

Zhuang Xianhe and Chen Weihua have been in the staff for several years, he is a division commander who has been outside all the year round, although they are colleagues in the army, but not every general knows them, some people have only heard the name but have not had the opportunity to see it, as soon as he heard the name Lin Yongfei, Zhuang Xianhe immediately appeared in some information about this person, and then lowered his voice and asked: "Is it the Lin Yongfei of the former guard division?" ”

Chen Weihua nodded!

Zhuang Xianhe was also a little shocked when he heard this, this Lin Yongfei's identity is a little too special, this person is different from him, Chen Weihua or Shen Gang and other ordinary generals, most of the power of these generals comes from their own positions, and there is no big family behind them, even if there is a so-called family, then they themselves are the pillars of the family.

Shut down

But the Lin family behind Lin Yongfei is not an ordinary family, Lin Yongfei's cousin is Chen Jingyun's real wife, China's first lady Lin Yun. The Lin family and the Yu family from Chen Jingyun's mother, Chen Yu, are called China's two major foreign families, and most of the officers in the guard division known as China's tide stalls are not only the children of the Chen family, but also a large number of relatives and friends of the Chen family, among which the children of the Lin family and the Yu family naturally have many of them serving in the guard division, and the commander of the guard division, Lieutenant General Yu Ruofei, is Chen Yu's nephew and Chen Jingyun's cousin. This group of people who are extremely special in the squadron system and other officer systems in the army have always been distinct, even if some officers from guard divisions are often difficult to integrate into the group of ordinary officers after serving in other units, of course, it is difficult for those ordinary officers to integrate into the group of officers from guard divisions.

He first served as the commander of the third regiment of the guard division, and then was transferred to the staff department for a year of training, and then he was transferred to the newly formed first armored division as the deputy division commander, and the commander of the first armored division was Fang Dashan at first, and later Fang Dashan was not able to continue to serve as the commander of the first armored division after the armored section was upgraded to the armored division, so Chen Jingyun was transferred to the former chief of staff of the Fourth Army, Major General Deng Panzhi, as the commander of the first armored division. The 1st Armored Division, the 9th Motorized Division of the Army, which has completed motorization, and the 1st Division, which is being converted into motorized divisions, are stationed in Hebei and Mongolia.

After Chen Jingyun decided to increase the number of troops against Russia, the General Staff Headquarters assigned a special armored battalion and two motorized infantry battalions deployed in Kulen, Outer Mongolia, to the 12th Army, under the direct command of General Li Jimin of the 12th Army. In addition to preparing to participate in front-line operations, it is more important to hope to test the combat effectiveness of China's latest T6 medium tank and T7 heavy tank through actual combat, and the most important thing is to systematically test the effective surname of the "mixed armored force rapid assault" tactic perfected by Fang Dashan through actual combat.

When the tank in the European war developed towards turtle speed and thick armor, and the tank tactics continued to develop around how to lead the infantry to break through the trenches, China's tank tactics were not quite the same as those of European countries from the beginning, although Chen Jingyun was very confident in this, but in fact, even Fang Dashan, the founder of China's armored forces and the main proposer of the armored force theory, did not have much confidence, and this was also when he learned that a large-scale war was going to break out in Russia. The reason why the people of the Panzer Division couldn't wait to send a task force of the Panzer Regiment into the battle, they needed the Panzer Force to play the role they expected to silence those who objected, and they hoped to use these victories to boost their confidence.

Feeling the stones to cross the river, and while he was still in the middle of the river, Fang Dashan needed a reason to believe that he would not drown while crossing the river.

At this time, Major General Lin Yongfei also walked over, looking at these two colleagues with a different system than himself with a smile, Zhuang Xianhe said first: "Brother Lin, I have already prepared supplies for the brothers who came from afar here, and the tea is ready, let's go inside!" ”

Lin Yongfei nodded and said: "That relationship is good, those bastards are not reliable, I have been shouting for a long time, and my voice is almost dumb!" ”

Although Lin Yongfei is a veritable relative, but unlike those idle tide stalls, he joined the army in his early years, except that his identity background is different from that of other ordinary generals, there is not much difference in the rest, and he speaks very loudly.

On the way, Zhuang Xianhe said: "Brother Lin, isn't there only more than 3,000 people in your task force, why do I see that your equipment is more than that of the Seventh Division!" ”

Lin Yongfei said: "This armored unit is not the same as ordinary infantry units, not only has tanks but also a large number of cars and motorcycles, so this equipment is a little more baggage!" ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yongfei laughed he: "This time I only brought an armored battalion and two motorized infantry battalions, because I didn't bring a lot of baggage in a hurry, it is estimated that it will take three or five days to transport it!" ”

The tank is not a new thing in the world, and for the high-level generals of China, they can often see some internal reports of tanks, but most of the generals still know little about the armored forces, and even those who have participated in the European officers' observation mission and witnessed the European tank war are unable to understand the combat mode of China's mixed armored forces.

Chen Weihua was also interested: "General Li said that I should try my best to cooperate with the operation of the task force, but I don't know much about your combat methods, I heard that in the second northern exercise at the beginning of the year, you broke through two lines of defense and attacked hundreds of kilometers in one day?" ”

Lin Yongfei nodded after listening: "That's true!" ”

In the second northern exercise at the beginning of the year, the focus was on experimenting with the combat effectiveness of the armored forces, with the First Armored Division and the Ninth Division, which had completed motorization, while the opponent was the First Division, the 30th and Sixth Divisions, and the First Cavalry Division, which had not yet completed motorization, as well as Cao Kun's old troops. The commander of Party A is Lieutenant General Zuo Yugang, the deputy chief of operations of the General Staff who has always been known for his fierce offensive style and is also a supporter of Fang Dashan's rapid assault theory, while the commander of Party B is General Li Jimin, commander of the 12th Army stationed in Russia, and Lieutenant General Huang Anyuan, commander of the Seventh Army, could not bear to ask Chen Jingyun to personally command the 1st Cavalry Division of the old department.

As a result of the exercise, although the armored mixed unit under the command of Zuo Yugang quickly and successively broke through the two lines of defense of Party B, because the logistics supply line was cut off by the First Cavalry Division of Lieutenant General Huang Anyuan, the armored mixed unit that had lost its fuel supply was defeated miserably because of the loss of supplies after advancing for nearly 200 kilometers in a row!

Although the armored force was ruled a failure, it is impossible for everyone not to see the limitations of the exercise, that is, the armored force has only one armored division and one motorized infantry division, and there is no infantry cover in the rear, while Party B has a cavalry division in addition to three infantry divisions, and the ratio of strength is one to two. According to Fang Dashan's theory of rapid assault, the mixed armored troops ruthlessly tore through the enemy's defense line and quickly advanced to the enemy's depth, cutting off the enemy's communications, communications, and command, while their own infantry units followed closely behind, covering and consolidating and expanding the gap, and also accepting prisoners.

Therefore, a rapid assault of armored forces without infantry cover is impossible to take place in real combat!

Of course, the failure of the mixed armored forces this time also made the people of the armored division reflect on the previous tactics, and put forward the requirement that the armored forces need more rapid infantry to accompany the cover, that is to say, more motorized infantry divisions need to be established, and for this reason, the first infantry division also accelerated the pace of motorized redressing, which was not expected by Huang Anyuan and a large number of generals who opposed the armored forces.

The reason why the armored forces still developed rapidly after the great defeat was that Zuo Yugang commanded the armored troops to break through the two defense lines deployed by Li Jimin in one day in a row, and advanced up to 100 kilometers of miracles. When Shen Gang saw this data, he almost didn't believe his eyes, this is not a light cavalry division that has broken through hundreds of kilometers in a day, but a heavily armored unit equipped with a large number of machine guns and artillery has advanced hundreds of kilometers in a day, if you can get sufficient and continuous fuel and ammunition supplies, then it will continue to advance, and it is completely possible to hit the rear of the enemy army and do whatever you want, completely collapse the enemy's system.

Even Li Jimin had to admit that although the troops under his command defeated the armored forces, they also paid a whopping two divisions to completely collapse, and if it were not for Huang Anyuan's cavalry division cutting off Zuo Yugang's supply line, so that the armored vehicles and cars in the armored forces lost fuel and could not maneuver and were slowly defeated by the infantry that gathered the main force, then it is difficult to say who won and who lost.

In any case, the fact that the armored unit broke through the enemy's two defense lines in one day and advanced hundreds of kilometers in one day quickly attracted the attention of a large number of army bigwigs such as Shen Gang and even Li Jimin.

After the 7th Infantry Division and the 12th Army Task Force Armored Regiment stayed overnight in Novosibirsk to replenish some supplies, the army column once again set off for Karachinsk, and by this time, the regimental headquarters of the 181st Regiment had already arrived in Karachinsk to try to rescue the besieged 1812 Battalion, and the main force of the 18th Division was already only 400 kilometers away from Karachinsk, and it would not take long to reach Karachinsk.

The siege of the 1812 battalion was only the beginning, and after the main forces of the two divisions of the Chinese Twelfth Army arrived in Karachinsk, this large-scale armed conflict between China and Soviet Russia really began!

Even if two [***] people have begun to fight to the death, but the two sides are not strictly speaking in a state of war, this is just a large-scale armed conflict in which neither side has declared war!
