Because Blueher is also under a lot of pressure.

The Chinese army attacked too fiercely, causing the Soviet army to suffer heavy losses.It is impossible for Blueher to be without pressure. Once Chita and Ulan-Ude are lost, the Chinese army can directly cut off the Siberian Railway.

Without the Siberian Railway, the logistics of the Far Eastern Military Region where Zhukov is located will be completely cut off.Zhukov's Far Eastern Military Region probably ran out of ammunition after two battles.At that time, what should Zhukov do with the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands.And without Chita and Ulan-Ude, the Chinese army can encircle Irkutsk from the east.The situation was so difficult that Blücher himself was caught off guard and didn't know what to do.

Since the establishment of the Soviet Union, this time is definitely the biggest loss for the Soviet Red Army in an instant.How could Blyuchel, the Soviet marshal, not be under pressure.So he had to regain those lost positions.

Therefore, Konev's proposal, Blucher completely rejected.

Under Blyuchel's order, Konev could only hold his nose and deploy troops to attack.

"Attacked?"

"Yes."

Zhang Zizhong also got a report on the changes in the Soviet army.

Not only the Transbaikal Army has changed, but the Red Flag Second Army on the Chita side has also begun to change.Although the Soviet army had problems of one kind or another, the training of these troops was still very good.After the Red Flag No.15 Army was surrounded by the Chinese army, the Red Flag Second Army soon made a new defensive deployment.However, under Bliuchel's order, the Second Red Banner Army abandoned the new defensive deployment and immediately organized troops to start a counterattack.

"I don't know what they think."

Zhang Zizhong also couldn't understand what the Soviet army was thinking.

However, Zhang Zizhong no longer wanted to delve into what the Soviet army was thinking.Because the Soviet army moved, it was more powerful for the Chinese army.Zhang Zizhong was afraid that the Soviet army would shrink back and hide in the defensive position they had built and would not come out.As long as the Soviet army moves, Zhang Zizhong will be very happy.

"Where are the Sixth Tank Division, the First Mixed Armored Brigade, and the Second Mixed Armored Brigade?"

"This location."

Bai Chongxi pointed to Zhang Zizhong.

Zhang Zizhong looked at the map and said: "It is about 31 kilometers away from the 80st Division of the Transbaikal Army. Since the Transbaikal Army has moved, their troops should also move. Give Commander Ye an order to rush along National Highway No. 31 and attack the Transbaikal Army. The 31st Division of the Baikal Army. Instead of attacking across the board, let the [-]th Tank Division, the [-]st Mixed Armored Brigade, and the [-]nd Armored Mixed Brigade attack the formation of the Transbaikal Army, break in from the [-]st Division, and completely disrupt their deployment. To Commander Wan (Wan Yaohuang) sent a telegram telling him to hold his ground, and once the Tannu Ulianghai Army disrupted the deployment of the Soviet Army, he would attack across the board and divide and encircle the Transbaikal Army.”

In addition to the troops of the Northern Military Region divided into the Eastern Army and the Western Army, there is also the Tannu Wulianghai Army.The Tannu Wulianghai Group Army is a relatively small establishment, with only two infantry divisions, two armored mixed brigades, a cavalry division, a motorized division, an artillery division, and an antiaircraft artillery division.

A tank division of the Western Group Army, that is, the Sixth Tank Division, entered Tangnu Wulianghai, and is currently under the command of Ye Ting, the commander-in-chief of Tangnu Wulianghai Group Army.After the war began, Zhang Zizhong did not mobilize the Tannu Wulianghai Army.

Now that the Transbaikal Army has moved, Zhang Zizhong wants to mobilize the Tannu Wulianghai Army.

The frontier construction in recent years has achieved very good results.China has built a large number of railways and roads in Outer Mongolia and Tangnu Wulianghai, especially those roads, which have a huge effect on the movement of tank divisions and armored divisions.

80 kilometers, if there is no road, it is not easy for tank divisions and armored divisions to attack, and it will take a lot of time.But with roads, the movement speed of tanks has greatly increased.More importantly, the logistics can keep up.Even moving secretly, they can attack Soviet troops without anyone noticing within a few hours.

"it is good."

Ge Jingen nodded.

"Other troops made the appearance of directly attacking Irkutsk to attract the attention of Irkutsk."

"Yes."

"That is to say, the Second Red Flag Army was also divided and surrounded by us?"

"Yes."

With the war together, where can anyone in the Supreme Council rest.

This is not the previous domestic warlord war, nor is it the original war with the Japanese army.When it was fighting Japan, how many troops did China mobilize.And this time the scale has exceeded several times or ten times that at that time.

In the Northern Military Region alone, 50 troops were mobilized for this war, and 30 troops were in the reserve force behind.

And more than 2000 aircraft, 300 cannons, and more than 3500 tanks.Not to mention anything else, just the oil they consume every day and the shells they shoot require hundreds of trains to transport them.On the first day of the war, the Air Force dropped 1500 tons of aerial bombs, and tanks and artillery shells were also staggeringly consumed. About [-] tons of shells were fired on the first day of the war.

And it's not just about fighting.

The frontline troops need to eat, and they also need to send a lot of accessories.For example, tanks have to be inspected and replaced after running for one or two hundred kilometers.With such a large-scale dispatch by the Air Force, it needs to be overhauled immediately after returning.As well as the previous war, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of large trucks, the various parts and components needed are even more amazing.

And it's already September, and soon it will be October.

In the northern regions, the temperature has been slowly dropping since October.Even in some extreme years, snow has already begun at the end of September, and the temperature will reach below zero at night in October.There are millions of troops on the front line, and winter clothes must be sent to them as soon as possible.Arrange where these various departments can rest.

Starting from the Supreme Council, the cabinet below, local governments and major enterprises, where can they rest.

The same is true of military councils.

When a fight breaks out, all military factories across the country will be in war mode.Regardless of whether it can be used or not, enough military weapons must be produced.Just look at the artillery shells currently used on the front line, and you will know how much ammunition the military factory will produce.Moreover, the mobilization department needs to form a lot of new troops to support the front line.In order to expand the army, the Military Commission has newly given the establishment of 7 corps, and is preparing to assemble 7 new corps, with about 130 million troops.

At this time, Duan Xun personally sits on the military committee.

The war situation is still very smooth.

Bliuchel, Marshal of the Soviet Union, although he made great contributions during the Soviet Civil War, is one of the founders of the Soviet Red Army and has outstanding prestige.It is a pity that either Blyuchel or Voroshinov, who is currently the main person in charge of the Soviet army, has far less understanding of military modernization and new strategies and tactics than their contemporary Marshal Tukhachevs Ji and Yegorov are not as good as Budyonny.

The thinking of Voroshinov and Blyukher is still in the war thinking of World War I.The emergence of new weapons such as aircraft and tanks has not been discovered, which has changed the mode of warfare.

It is a pity that at present, with Tukhachevsky and Yegorov being shot to eliminate counter-revolutionaries, Voroshinov's war thinking dominates the construction of the Soviet army.The result was a serious setback in the pace of Soviet military modernization.

The same goes for Bluecher.

Still use World War I, still use the slightest bit of the civil war when the Soviets were just established to guide modern warfare.As a defensive front, Blucher deployed large forces, including heavy equipment, on the front line.Airfields and artillery positions are at the forefront.After Wang Tianpei's Eastern Group Army broke into the Chita defense line, Chita's troops had no defense depth at all.A large amount of heavy equipment fell directly into the hands of the Chinese army.

Moreover, the two most important units on the Chita defense line were quickly separated by Chinese tank units.The Chinese army coming up from behind, combined with the tank troops assaulting in front, surrounded them directly.

Xu Yongchang was very happy and said: "Chairman, the current effect is very good. We divided the Red Flag No.15 Army in the first place, and the Red Flag Second Army was very smart. It quickly shrank its front and wanted to confront us. But I don't know what happened, but the Second Red Banner Army suddenly counterattacked across the board, which gave us room for a surprise attack. The Third Tank Division of the Northern Military Region Armored Forces went straight in from the middle of the Second Red Banner Army, directly disrupting the Second Red Banner Army The deployment of several divisions created the conditions for our troops to divide and encircle the Red Banner Second Army."

"Now the Red Banner Second Army and the Red Banner No.15 Army, the main force of the Soviet Army in the direction of Chita, are surrounded by the Western Army. When the Red Banner Second Army countercharged, the Eastern Baikal Army in front of the Eastern Army was also facing our front. Counterattack. However, our troops fought back. And four hours ago, the Sixth Mongolian Tank Division, the First Armored Mixed Brigade and the Second Armored Mixed Brigade of the Tangnu Ulianghai Army circled from Zakamensk Come over, use National Highway No. 7, flank the 31st Division of the Transbaikal Army, and defeat the 31st Division of the Soviet Army within two hours. The current situation is very smooth, and the Transbaikal Army was intercepted by our troops. Although the Transbaikal Army responded Soon, but still three infantry divisions and one cavalry division failed to retreat and were surrounded by our troops."

"Nice job."

Duan Xun was also overjoyed.

The war went on more smoothly than expected.The attack speed of the Chinese army is no worse than the attack speed of the German army during the Soviet-German war in history.Moreover, the firepower configuration of the Chinese army is not worse than that of the German army in history.As a result, the Soviet army was completely unadapted to this style of play, and lost successive battles in a short period of time.

The Red Flag Second Army and the Red Flag No.15 Army, plus the Red Flag First Army and the Red Flag Third Army were originally troops of the Far East Military Region.The headquarters of the Far East Military Region were all in Chita at that time.Later, the Far Eastern Military Region moved to Khabarovsk, followed by the Red Flag First Army and the Red Flag Third Army, while the Red Flag Second Army and the Red Flag No.15 Army stayed in Chita and accepted the command of the Transbaikal Military Region.

The two armies are the main forces of the Transbaikal Military District.For example, under the Second Red Flag Army, there are three infantry armies, two cavalry divisions, two mechanized divisions, and one mixed aviation division, with a number of nearly 20 people.

This is the real main elite force of the Soviet Union in the Far East.

But what about the results?

In less than three days, it was completely divided and surrounded by the Eastern Group Army of the Northern Military Region.If the Second Red Banner Army and the No.15 Red Banner Army are resolved, it goes without saying that the Chita Line of Defense, and the Ulan-Ude area will also fall into the hands of the Chinese army.

Ulan-Ude also has a large number of troops, with more than 20 troops.However, the more than 20 troops in the Ulan-Ude area are mainly composed of troops from the former Soviet Land Reclamation Corps.In terms of strength, it is definitely not as good as the Red Flag Second Army and the Red Flag No.15 Army, including the army that is inferior to Chita in terms of equipment.Moreover, their defense is mainly facing the Chinese army in the south, and the main line of defense is against the Chinese army in Kyakhta.Once the Chinese army attacked from the direction of Chita, Ulan-Ude did not deploy defenses on the eastern front.With an army of this size, it is very difficult to quickly change the deployment of the army.

It can be said that the current situation is very favorable for the Northern Military Region.

Both Ulan-Ude and Chita are at stake.
