Beiyang reactionaries

Blagoveshchensk is a relatively important city in the Far East, and it is also a city with a relatively large population.But in fact, this city is really not very big, with a population of only about 10 people.But just such a day of bombing destroyed half of the city, causing more than 2 casualties.

This is totally unbearable.

If Blagoveshchensk was completely destroyed, the troops deployed there would really have no idea what to do.In other words, the army in Blagoveshchensk may be paralyzed.

"What about Khabarovsk?"

Hearing these losses, Zhukov did not fly into a rage.

Because of today's bombing, Zhukov has long been mentally prepared.It's just that I didn't expect the loss to be more than imagined.

"Preliminary statistics show that more than 4000 houses were blown up, and there are basically no complete houses on the street where our government department is located. The casualties are more serious than those in Blagoveshchensk, about 4 people."

"How come there are so many?"

"There is no defense, and we have no air defense means. Moreover, Khabarovsk is the main target of the Chinese Air Force's bombing, and the bombs dropped are more than Blagoveshchensk."

Khabarovsk is bigger and more populous than Blagoveshchensk.Moreover, this is the political, economic, and military center of the Far East, and the government agencies and military agencies of the Soviet Far East are all here.So here is the key area for the Chinese army to bomb.

As a result, the losses in this bombing were very large.

"What about the other losses?"

"The position of the Second Armored Army was discovered and was heavily bombed by the Chinese Air Force, and more than 240 tanks were lost. Another grain storage area was bombed, and about 260 tons of flour were gone."

Zhukov, who had been sitting and listening to the report, immediately stood up when he heard that 260 tons of flour were gone.

That's 260 tons of flour.

The troops of the Far East Military Region can eat food for half a month, and that's it.The Far East Military Region has no logistics at all now, and there is not much food in the Far East.So Zhukov is very careful.

I was worried that the troops would not have enough food.

The army can do without anything.But once they eat enough, the whole army will collapse.

In the past, the targets of the Chinese Air Force were all military targets, and they were all front-line positions.But this time the air strike directly aimed at the city.Completely disregarding where is the military camp, where is the location of the people.

Both cities were bombed indiscriminately.

"There is another piece of news that I didn't pay attention to before, but I think it should be reported."

"Say."

"After the North Korean Second Army occupied Bijin, it has been building a large-scale temporary airport on the periphery. We didn't pay much attention to this matter, but our reconnaissance plane found that some planes have already begun to station in Bijin."

"These damn bastards actually acted with the Chinese."

Zhukov was very angry about the actions of the North Korean army.They not only participated in the Battle of Vladivostok, but also acted as pioneers and captured Bijin.Now the airport is being built in Bigin.

Zhukov immediately came to the map.

Airports in this era do not have as many requirements as later ones.Even when you are in a hurry, you can take off and land by paving a rammed earth road.If a concrete road is laid, as long as the quality is not too bad, it can be used as a long-term airport.

Building an airport in Biggin?

The distance from Bijin to Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk) is about 200 kilometers, which can be said to be very suitable for China's bomber operations.Moreover, Bijin's airport is beyond the range of Soviet fighter jets and bombers, and it is very safe in itself.When taking off from Bijin to bomb Khabarovsk, this distance is very suitable for Chinese bombers.On the whole, the two important cities in the Soviet Far East, Blagoveshchensk and Khabarovsk, were too close to the Chinese border, and as a result they were too passive in the war.

Looking at Bijin's position, Zhukov's face became more and more ugly.

Zhukov can already imagine the purpose of the North Korean Second Army building an airport in Bijin.This was built for the bombing of Khabarovsk.

"A Chinese plane?"

"I don't know. It may also be a plane sent by the North Korean government, but the planes owned by the North Korean government are all supported by China. Our reconnaissance plane can't tell the difference."

"How many are there?"

"Our reconnaissance plane saw more than 60. The exact number was not fully detected because it was driven out by fighter jets. But it should be only a few more. And what our reconnaissance plane reported was that they built several airfields .We detected only one of the airfields."

"Damn."

One of the airports already has more than 60 planes.

More than 60 planes are not a small number.If there are several airports, there may be 200 or 300 or so planes in Bigin.These planes also participated in the bombing of Khabarovsk, which gave Zhukov a headache just thinking about it.

"Commander, what should we do now? From the looks of the Chinese, it looks like they are going to attack us on a large scale. They can't just bomb one day and end the air strikes, and they will definitely do another air strike tomorrow. What if they continue to bomb our cities? If there were another bombing like today, Blagoveshchensk and Khabarovsk would cease to exist in a few days."

"It can only be delayed."

I am not a god, what can I do.

Zhukov also has nothing to do.

The current situation cannot be resolved by a commander of the Far East Military Region like Zhukov.Zhukov now understands what the Chinese army thinks.The Chinese army does not want to storm the defensive positions deployed by itself, and is worried about the casualties of the troops.So I took such a stupid approach.

Completely destroy the logistics of the forward position.

This is a big winter.

The two cities were destroyed, not to mention that the people in these two places did not know how to survive the winter.Even the army couldn't find a place to spend the winter.This is destroying the living conditions of the army and the people.

"Commander, why don't we bring the anti-aircraft artillery unit back from the front line."

"Call it back?"

Zhukov shook his head.

He frowned and said, "It's too late. It's useless to mobilize one or two brigades of anti-aircraft artillery units in the face of such a large-scale bombing. If we want to mobilize several divisions of anti-aircraft artillery units, we don't have enough gasoline to use those trucks. We Now that there is only a little oil left, we still need to give priority to ensuring our tank troops, and we must not let our tanks become scrap iron. Moreover, it is not possible to mobilize the anti-aircraft artillery troops on the front line in a day or two. Too late to fight. Don't bother them, keep them on the front line."

After thinking for a while, Zhukov said: "Send a telegram to Moscow. Tell them about our situation here. Let's say that today the Chinese army mobilized more than 6000 aircraft, more than 6000 cannons, and more than 4000 tanks to attack us. Blagovi Shensk and Khabarovsk were completely destroyed by the Chinese Air Force. According to the current situation, we can last up to 20 days. No, let’s say we can only last about ten days at most. I hope Moscow will find a way as soon as possible. If not solution, then we are ready to die for the Soviet."

"Yes."

"The negotiations between Germany and Japan have achieved results. Germany supports Japan's development in Asia and France's transfer of French Indochina to Japanese control."

November 1939, 11, the second night of the bombing.

Around eight.

The Supreme Council is still brightly lit, discussing the current international situation.

"What about Vichy France?"

Fascism swept the world.

More and more countries joined the "Germany, Italy and Japan Triple Alliance".After Germany swept across the European continent, it did not incorporate those countries into its own territory.Some important places were swallowed by Germany, but most places supported the new puppet government.

A whole host of new governments emerged across the continent.
