Fengxian Jiangshan

Jiang Baili is undoubtedly a master of military science, but when later generations evaluated Jiang Baili, he used the term military theorist very prudently instead of using the term military strategist.Jiang Bailimiao was fine, but when it came time to decide the outcome on the battlefield, he still lacked some courage.

Zhang Tinglan said confidently: "This is a big gamble, but I don't want everyone to pin their hopes of victory on luck, but to make a perfect plan and let the Russians be fooled!"

Chapter 798 Alashan Pass

The car is chaotic, the horse is Xiaoxiao.

The armored soldiers of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the patriots of the Song and Ming Dynasties, all once stepped on the yellow sand in the northwest to fight outside the Great Wall and guard the beautiful China.Thousands of years have passed, and now the army is heading north again, and it is still unprecedentedly grand and inspiring.

Amid the sound of military music, one after another soldiers phalanx walked in front of Chang'an Avenue. Their neat steps, vigorous stature, excellent equipment and high morale attracted the cheers of countless people.

The parade square was immersed in a frenzied atmosphere, the national flag was fluttering, countless Chinese and foreign journalists gathered, and hundreds of thousands of people were looking forward to it.

Every time a phalanx passed, it attracted enthusiastic cheers from everyone, especially towed artillery, armored vehicles, tanks, and self-propelled artillery. These modern steel weapons walked in front of everyone. The rumbling sound gave all Chinese people the greatest sense of security.

The display of these equipments greatly boosted the morale of the people and gave everyone more confidence in the battle.Since the crisis in the Far East spread, the situation between China and the Soviet Union has become more and more serious. Both sides are actively preparing for war. The war is imminent, and what is lacking is nothing more than an excuse.

Just half a month ago, a Russian reconnaissance plane along the edge of Lake Baikal tried to detect the deployment of China's defenses, but was shot by Chinese anti-aircraft artillery.The pilot escaped by parachuting by chance, but it happened to land on the forward positions of China and Russia.

The Chinese soldiers chased down the Russian pilot decisively, and rushed into the Russian territory like this, and the two sides began to exchange fire.There have been cold shots on the border in the past, but this is the first time that they have rushed directly into the opponent's territory.

The two sides invested more and more troops, first a platoon, then a company, and in the end, each side dispatched 600 people, and a small conflict turned into a big fight.The Russians paid more than 20 lives, the pilot was also killed, and more than a dozen Chinese soldiers died.

This exchange of fire completely detonated the battle between China and Russia. As soon as the exchange of fire occurred, both China and Russia held press conferences.The Russians claimed that the existence of the Far Eastern Empire was illegal and a product of China's conspiracy to split Russia. Therefore, Russia wanted to recover the former land and rescue the Russians who were suffering from a humanitarian crisis.

Seeing this statement, Zhang Tinglan also sneered, and even brought up the excuse of China's interference in Nanyang. If you really care about humanitarianism, you'd better look at the plains of Ukraine!

China also responded immediately. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed that the existence of the Far East Empire was seriously threatened. At the invitation of Her Majesty, the squadron decisively entered the Far East to assist the Far East military and civilians in resisting the Russian invasion.

In fact, from the statements of both parties, it can be seen that everyone is very cautious and did not directly declare war. Russia wants to regain lost ground, and China wants to protect the security of the Far East.

Doing so undoubtedly left room for maneuver. After all, when two giants collide, no one can predict the consequences.Just like the war between Fengjun and Japan, the two sides are still fighting without declaration.

Of course, this is the case on the surface, and no one dares to relax in real battles, and even said that they will only work harder.Both sides are constantly mobilizing the most elite forces to the front line, and war materials and resources are continuously being sent over.

The Chinese side even organized an unprecedented military swearing-in ceremony. Hundreds of thousands of people in the capital watched it in person, cheering and praying for the departing soldiers.

The sick man in East Asia in the past, now has such a powerful army, many old people see tears in their eyes, and the young people are all eyes shining, holding everything tightly, wishing that they could be one of them .

"Mr. Doihara, what do you think of the Chinese army's performance?"

"Very good. They have strong morale and excellent equipment. To some extent, they have already caught up with the imperial army."

As a military attache stationed in China, Doihara naturally would not let go of the opportunity to observe the squadron up close. He and Yoshizawa Kenkichi crowded into the crowd to watch this majestic military parade.

Seeing some of the squadron's equipment, Doihara also showed greed. China is already ahead of Japan in terms of army construction.

Especially China, a country with a vast land and rich resources, is willing to spend money on weapons, and its tanks and armored vehicles are far ahead of the Japanese.Although the Japanese tried their best to develop the army after the defeat of North Korea, the limited resources and the huge demand of the navy made the Japanese army far away from China.

No matter how arrogant Doihara is, he will not open his eyes and talk nonsense, but there is still a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth: "From this military parade, we can clearly see that the Chinese people are proud, and they think they can easily Defeat the enemy, so they show their strength without any scruples. But as the Chinese book of war says, arrogant soldiers are bound to lose. The more confident they are, the easier it is to stumble."

Don't look at the stereotyped and rigid impression of the Japanese army, but most of Japan's senior generals still advocate conspiracy and strategy.When fighting wars, we pay attention to surprise and surprise. There is no reason to show our strength. The Japanese can see it, and presumably the Russians can also see it. At that time, China will definitely suffer a big loss in the Far East.

By that time, the Japanese will be able to reap the fruits of victory. Being a neighbor of such a behemoth as China, the pressure on the Japanese will be considerable, and they will definitely not look forward to any good days for China.

……

"Watch out! Airplane!"

Zhang Zizhong shouted loudly, and the soldiers hurriedly hid their bodies in the trenches. Russian fighter jets flew over the air, and the bullets hit the ground.Zhang Zizhong got up from the trench, brushed off the dirt on his body, and yelled: "Old man, if you have the ability, I will challenge you one-on-one!"

Before Zhang Zizhong could speak, he saw that the fighter jet suddenly had a few flames flashing on its wings, and then it fell to the ground quickly like a stone.

Peng!A ball of flame rose into the sky, and everyone including the pilot turned into a pile of red light.The soldiers happened to see this scene and couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Battalion Commander, you are amazing. If you say such a word, a Russian plane will come down. If you say a few more words, the Russian air force will be gone!"

After saying this, all the soldiers around laughed, and everyone relaxed a little.Of course, Zhang Zizhong did not say this, but was shot down by a Chinese fighter jet.

A few Chinese fighter planes flew over Zhang Zizhong's head, and on the horizon behind, more planes appeared, a large black mass, passing through the air, and the huge roar made the ears hurt.

But every time they saw this scene, the soldiers couldn't help but feel their blood boiling. This is a symbol of China's power.During this period of time, Chinese fighter planes often formed a huge fleet and carried out bombing operations towards Russia.

On the front line in the Far East, the Chinese army is actually not as strong as the Russians, but it can suppress the Russians and prevent them from attacking with all their strength. The role of the air force has played a quite amazing role.

"Battalion Commander, I just counted. This time at least [-] or [-] bombers were dispatched, and dozens of fighter jets escorted them. It is really spectacular. This old man will have a good show."

Zhang Zizhong also nodded: "Cheer up, everyone, don't be so envious of others, we will rely on our army to decide the outcome in the future, no one is allowed to be cowardly!"

Zhang Zizhong and the others guessed rightly. The target of so many planes dispatched this time was the Russian Baikal Fleet.Since the establishment of the Far Eastern Empire, Lake Baikal has become the forward position of both sides. The Russians have formed a lake fleet with more than [-] gunboats of various types.

Killing this fleet will greatly weaken the Russians' water transportation capabilities and disrupt Russia's war deployment.Therefore, China is determined to win.

The aircraft fleet appeared above Lake Baikal, facing a sapphire-like lake, glowing with waves, and the flag of sickle and hammer could be seen in the distance, fluttering in the wind.

The Baikal Fleet never expected that they would become the target of attack.The sailors screamed in fear. They set up all their weapons and kept shooting into the air in an attempt to resist.

But the sparse firepower network could not threaten the Chinese fighter planes at all. Bombs fell from the planes, and explosions came out one after another.

Some bombs fell into the water, splashing more than ten meters of white waves, and some fell on the shore, blowing up the Russian army to pieces.The lake water seemed to be boiling.One big wave after another, the gunboats of dozens to hundreds of tons turned into a pile of scrap copper and iron amidst the violent explosion, and sank into the lake.

The Russian sailors suffered heavy losses and staggering casualties. In less than half an hour of bombing, the Baikal Fleet became history.These pilots still had more to say, and when they withdrew, they circled around the heads of the Russians again.

Boom, boom, flames rang out one after another on the Russian position, the trenches were destroyed, and the fortifications were blown up.The huge fleet also attacked several Russian material bases and barracks.No fewer than 200 people were killed in the bombing and hundreds more were injured as flames devoured the supplies that had just arrived.

Although the Russians tried their best to strengthen their air force, compared with China, there is still a distance, whether it is quality or quantity, including the quality of pilots, so it is inevitable to suffer losses in battle.

Feng Yong was in charge of the bombing operations in the Far East. He was very satisfied with the results of the past few days, but the only thing he was not satisfied with was that they were not the protagonists of this battle.

When initially formulating the battle plan, Zhang Tinglan placed the real main battlefield in Central Asia, and the Far East was just a cover.

Of course, in order to convince the Russians of this lie, Zhang Tinglan also made careful arrangements. He demanded that the transfer of troops to the Far East must be upright and upright, so he organized a massive military parade.

In addition, in terms of the display of military strength, the Far East should far exceed Central Asia. For example, the scale of aircraft reconnaissance must be kept in the Far East to be more than twice that of Central Asia, and the bombing operations are mainly concentrated in the Far East.

Although Feng Yong was very lively, he was indeed a supporting role, which made him a little reconciled.However, he only dared to vent his anger on the Russians, and kept making the Russians pay a heavier price.

However, the Russians are still preparing for war at a fast pace. Moscow has dispatched Yegorov as the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front. He has concentrated more than 8 troops on the front line of Irkutsk. These troops are all from the Soviet Civil War. Elite main force.

Back then, Budyonny suffered a disastrous defeat and lost Chita and other places, which became an eternal pain in the hearts of the Russians.Therefore, ever since it decided to recover the Far East, the Russian army has been gearing up and preparing to take revenge.

Yegorov is also one of the best commanders in Russia. He has experienced many battles and made outstanding achievements repeatedly.In the autumn of 1919, Denikin's troops approached Tula, the gateway to Moscow, and Yegorov was ordered to serve as the commander of the Southern Front, leading the battle to crush Denikin and keep Moscow.

From then on, he made steady progress and became one of the most dazzling stars in the Russian army. It was because of his outstanding military exploits that Stalin favored him and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front.

But Yegorov didn't know that from the very beginning, he, including Moscow, fell into a fatal mistake, just when he was concentrating all his strength and preparing to launch an attack.

China's most elite guard division had already left Beijing long ago, along the railway line, and entered Xinjiang.Then they left Dihua, crossed the long yellow sand, and quickly advanced towards Central Asia. The place they wanted to seize was the Alashan Pass.
