Now that there is a fight, and the Soviet army is attacking on such a large scale, of course Liu Xiang will invite troops from the Lanzhou Military Region to enter Xinjiang for support.Although Liu Xiang looked confident, he was really worried.

What Liu Xiang is most worried about is that the rebels will collude with the Soviet army to affect the traffic and communications in various parts of Xinjiang.Once the scale of the rebellion is too large and affects the safety of the communication lines, it will be very detrimental to the war situation.That's why he is so eager to ask the troops of the Lanzhou Military Region to enter Xinjiang.

"How much support do you need?"

"Before the heavy snow falls, troops from two corps must enter. I request the Lanzhou Military Region to use all means to allow troops to enter Xinjiang as soon as possible. I also request the Ministry of Military Affairs to mobilize 15 air divisions, 10 artillery divisions, and 10 armored divisions to support Xinjiang. .And asked the Ministry of Military Affairs to equip the Xinjiang Military Region with [-] trucks and tractors.”

"Yes."

Ge Jingen nodded.

Although it is only mid-September, the temperature in Xinjiang has already begun to drop.After entering October, it will snow in Xinjiang.According to the normal situation, once it enters November, there will be heavy snowfall in Xinjiang.If it snows heavily, logistics in Xinjiang will be very difficult.That's why Liu Xiang asked for reinforcements to enter Xinjiang before the heavy snow fell.

In fact, the time is quite tense.

Because before the heavy snow falls, there is only about a month.In other words, Liu Xiang asked the Ministry of Military Affairs to mobilize more than 30 troops, about 1500 aircraft, 2000 cannons, and 2000 tanks to Xinjiang within one month.This is very difficult for logistics transportation.

"I remember the Prime Minister said in a lecture before, don't follow the enemy's pace, don't be led by the enemy. You must fight at your own pace and let the enemy follow your own pace. Now the main force of the Soviet army is attacking Tacheng. If we follow the pace of the Soviet army and fight the Soviet army to the death in Tacheng, it will do us no good, we will be passive. The Soviet army is more prepared than us in the Tacheng area.”

"Yes."

Ge Jingen was a little ashamed.

The Soviet army attacked Tacheng, and such a large-scale attack was something Ge Jingen and his staff did not expect.It should be said that it was the dereliction of duty of the staff headed by Ge Jingen, who failed to accurately analyze the intelligence.So at this step, China is already one step behind.Liu Xiang is not the kind of person who just gets beaten but doesn't fight back.

"Defense is not just defense. Passive defense and active defense are completely different effects. Zhanhou (Ge Jingen), I think so. Let Deputy Commander Sun (Sun Zhen) attack and defeat the Soviet troops in front of them .”

Sun Zhen is the commander of the Xinjiang Construction Corps.

However, with the outbreak of the war, both Li Jishen and Deng Yanda joined the military committee, as did the generals of the front-line construction corps, who all served in the front-line military region.Sun Zhen currently serves as the deputy commander of the Xinjiang Military Region and concurrently serves as the commander of the Xinjiang Construction Corps.It is to coordinate the relationship between the Xinjiang Military Region Command and the Construction Corps Command.

"Commander, Deputy Commander Sun's side are all converted troops from the Construction Corps."

"Don't underestimate them. The troops under Deputy Commander Sun's equipment are not bad, and it has been established for two years, and their combat effectiveness will not be bad. Besides, the First Construction Corps under Deputy Commander Sun was originally adapted from a field force. The officers below have all fought in battle. Tell Deputy Commander Sun to let him take a good look at how the Northern Military Region uses tank troops. The Air Force will definitely support them and let their armored troops give me the front troops Divide and encircle them and defeat them. The army opposite them has the same scruples as them, they are all troops adapted from the Soviet Land Reclamation Corps, and their combat effectiveness is limited."

Liu Xiang became ruthless.

Liu Xiang didn't know what Budyonny thought about it.But Liu Xiang knew one thing, that is, if he followed the rhythm of the Soviet Union and continued to send troops to entangle him in Tacheng, there would be no good results.Because in the Tacheng defense line, China is already one step behind.

What can be done now is to protect the tower city defense line as much as possible.

But in other places, Liu Xiang didn't want to be beaten passively.

"Look, here. Almaty, this is the transit station of the Turkestan-Siberia Railway, the capital of the Kazakh Soviet, and one of the largest logistics bases of the Soviet army opposite us. Since the Soviet army has concentrated its forces and wants to take down our Tacheng and Karamay, then we will directly fight here."

"This will expand the scale of the war? Should it be reported to the Military Commission?"

Ge Jingen was very surprised.

As Liu Xiang said, Almaty is the most important city in Kazakhstan, and it is also one of the largest logistics bases of the Soviet Army opposite the Xinjiang Military Region.A large amount of Soviet military supplies are hoarded here and provided to the front-line troops.

If you attack here, the war on the side of the Xinjiang Military Region will expand.After all, Almaty is one of the most important cities in Russia in this area. Once China takes it, it will directly cut off the Tuxi Railway.The Tuxi Railway is the main artery related to the Soviet Union and Central Asia under the control of the Soviet Union.

How could the Soviet Union accept it.

Then there will be another big battle.

"This is the best way to break the situation now. You immediately report my thoughts to the military committee to see what the military committee means? Winter is coming, and my idea is to use 20 days to a month or so to take Almu Figure. As long as winter comes, the war between our two countries will be at a stalemate. Control this place before the heavy snow, and we will take the absolute initiative."

"it is good."

"Chairman, the Soviet Union has mobilized the whole country."

It has been half a month since the Sino-Soviet war broke out.

In the current situation, China is taking the initiative.The Soviet Union lost a lot in a short period of time. Not to mention battlefield casualties, there were more than 40 Soviet troops captured by the Chinese army alone. Adding the battlefield casualty data, the Soviet Union lost more than 70 troops.More than 3000 aircraft were lost, more than 2000 tanks were lost, and more than 3000 cannons were lost.

Although the Soviet Union is a big country, the Soviet Union cannot afford such a large-scale loss.Especially since the fight has just started, the Transbaikal Military Region has basically suffered a crushing defeat.A large number of Soviet troops in Chita and Ulan-Ude were surrounded, and they could only surrender in groups when they ran out of ammunition and food.Chita has been controlled by the Chinese army, and some of the remaining troops in Ulan-Ude have also been divided and surrounded by the Chinese army.

More importantly, because the Transbaikal Army was hit hard, it could only retreat to Irkutsk.As a result, Ulan-Ude has no reinforcements at all.Such a loss took the Soviet Union by surprise.

Moscow was arguably caught off guard.

The entire Soviet military didn't know what was going on.Blueher has already received an order to dismiss from Moscow, because the loss is too great.Moscow wanted to know what was going on at the front.It was also because of such losses that Moscow issued an order for national mobilization.

Duan Xun sits in the military committee and listens to everyone's reports.After they classified all kinds of information, they reported it to Duan Xun.

"The command of the Xinjiang Military Region Headquarters, they are going to let the Xinjiang Construction Corps in Ili, the First Corps, the Second Corps, and the Third Corps, a total of 54 troops, boldly attack, defeat the Soviet troops in front, and go straight to Almaty .”

"Almaty?"

Duan Xun looked at the map.

Xu Yongchang pointed to Almaty and said: "Chairman, Almaty is the largest and most important city of the Soviet Union in Central Asia, and it is also the main transit station of the Turkestan-Siberia Railway in the Soviet Union. It came back from the Xinjiang Military Region In terms of intelligence, Almaty is the largest city where the Soviet army hoards materials on the front line. Nearly half of the supplies of the Soviet army’s one million troops pass through Almaty. Here, here, the Soviet Union is centered on Almaty, not only railways , and a large number of roads. It is to ensure the supply of materials on the front line."

"Almaty, Almaty."

Duan Xun fixed his gaze on Almaty.

Because the status of Almaty is really important.The Turkestan-Siberia Railway, which is connected by the Soviet Union and Central Asia, is here.Once this place is captured by the Chinese army, it will cut off the most important line of communication between the Soviet Union and Central Asia.

Therefore, Duan Xun believed that as long as the Chinese army really attacked Almaty, the Soviet Union would inevitably react violently.After all, the Northern China Military Region is about to besiege Irkutsk and cut off the relationship between the Soviet Union and the Far East Military Region.It can even be said that the entire Far East of the Soviet Union is currently under China's soldiers.

If Almaty is lost at this time, the Soviet Union may not even be able to keep Central Asia.If China's ambitions were greater, the army would threaten two important places in the Soviet Union.One is to the northwest, threatening the Ural industrial zone that the Soviet Union is vigorously building.Another direction is the southwest direction, which threatens the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union.The Ural industrial zone and the Caucasus oil base are the lifeblood of the Soviet Union, so how could the Soviet Union ignore them.

At that time, the Soviet Union may fight you desperately.

Therefore, it is not easy for Duan Xun to make a direct decision.Looking at the map quietly, he thought for a long time and said, "Tell me, will Germany attack the Soviet Union?"

"meeting."

Li Jishen next to him spoke quickly, and in a very affirmative tone.

"Tell me."

"Yes."

Li Jishen immediately said: "Chairman, it has only been more than half a month since we fought the Soviet Union, but look at the ammunition and oil we consumed. The scale of the German army's war is not smaller than ours, and the troops mobilized There are more oil than us, so they need more oil. Germany is now sweeping across the European continent, which looks very powerful, but in fact the burden is getting heavier and heavier. Germany, Italy, including their allies and servants, most of them are not Petroleum producers. In the current European continent, the only country that can provide oil is Romania. Romania can provide about 800 million tons of oil per year. This amount of oil is not enough for Germany itself, Italy, France, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland It is simply not enough for countries such as China and Hungary to use it together.”

Oil is the biggest weakness of Germany and Italy.

why?

Because neither Germany nor Italy has oil, including the allies who currently support Germany, as well as the slave countries that have been fostered after the German occupation, they all need oil.Regardless of whether they are strong or weak, European countries are basically industrial countries, or in other words, everyone has industry more or less.It's just that some countries have strong industries, while others have small industries.But no matter what the situation is, there are industries in the country that need oil.

But where do they have oil.

In the current continental Europe only Romania can provide oil.But the oil provided by Romania is not even enough for Germany.After all, so many planes, tanks, trucks, and ships in Germany need a lot of oil.
