Chapter 214 The Confusion of the Marshal

Time flies, and the one-month ceasefire agreement is about to expire in a blink of an eye, and neither China nor the Soviet Union have any intention of renewing the contract. Both sides are red-eyed, and the war will not be extinguished unless one of them falls.

On June 29, the last day of the ceasefire agreement, the last mediation of the three neutral countries in Switzerland, Sweden and Finland failed. The Soviet Foreign Minister pursed his lips and said: "I don't think there is any need for the Soviet Union and China to maintain diplomatic dialogue, because everything we should say has been said." Shao Jianhui replied simply: "Agree!"

The gate of peace closed with a bang, the abyss of hell quietly cracked open, and the devil grinned in the darkness.

Long before this, the Soviet Union held a secret military meeting to discuss countermeasures. The atmosphere of this meeting was much calmer than when it decided to start a war against China. The spoils snatched from China gave the Soviet Union sufficient food to support the entire war. Japan's complete reversal of the Soviet Union also allowed the Soviet Union to obtain a large number of coveted precision-processed parts and electronic products in the past month. It can be said that in the past month, the Soviet Union had obtained something that had not been available in the past ten years. The battlefield situation was also extremely beneficial to the Soviet army. The Inner Mongolia Front was only more than 100 kilometers away from Beijing, and the Amur Front had formed an arc-shaped encirclement of Shenyang. As long as we work hard and work harder, the victory of this war belonged to the Soviet Union!

The Soviet Union's huge war machine has been fully activated. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers, two or three thousand fighter jets and two or three thousand tanks lost in the previous stage have been supplemented. The Soviet Union does not even have to start production lines. The active weapons alone are enough to support this war! In fact, the military has not placed many orders for equipment such as artillery, armored vehicles, and trucks. However, advanced equipment such as MiG-29m, Su-27, Tu-22m3, air-to-air missiles, and short-range ground-to-ground missiles can be built with a life-long construction. As for old equipment such as MiG-21, MiG-23, and Su-15, it will be destroyed and it is enough to be knocked back. It is not necessary to feel distressed. It can be said that this war also helped the Soviet army, allowing the Soviet army to finally get rid of those huge amounts of old-fashioned equipment, take big steps in reform, and move to a new level.

The Soviet Union's military production capacity can only be described as terror. From the outbreak of the war to the present, they have produced more than 900 MiG-29m, 120 Su-27s, nine A-50 early warning aircraft, and thousands of helicopters. These numbers are terrifying. Decades later, it will take a decade to spend the Russian military factories for ten or twenty years. But now, they have only been produced in three months! Such a powerful production capacity has made NATO and China desperately see, and they have no hope of winning with the Soviet Union.

It has been more than 40 years since the end of World War II, and the smoke of gunpowder has long dissipated, but the Soviet Union seemed to be trapped in that era of blood flowing everywhere. Everything about them was planned according to the world war. In the era of peace, their

These arrangements seem inexplicable and hopelessly stupid, but once the war breaks out, the power they burst out will definitely shock the whole world. It is precisely because of this that a large number of generals from the Soviet Ministry of Defense were calm and chatting and laughing, as if the victory or defeat was destined before the war began.

Marshal Ogalkov was old and had a severe cold and gastroenteritis in the Far East for two months. In addition, he was shot by Han Yajie, and his health has not recovered until now and needs rest. Although it is not a good thing for Yi General to fight at the moment, he is always sad to let him go to the Far East to lead troops and take Beijing. Ogalkov cannot take all his credit, let everyone stare at him? So, an extremely fierce competition broke out around who replaced Ogalkov and was responsible for the Far East battlefield. Who doesn’t want the credit?

After seven or eight hours of intense meetings, Borosilov decided that Marshal Meletskov would succeed as Commander-in-Chief of the Far East. Marshal Meletskov was also a powerful general who came out of the war of World War II. The old guards had both strong capabilities and strength and were an ideal candidate. Choosing him was also considered to be the only person who sold the old guards in the Ministry of Defense. He was determined to reform and tried to lead the Soviet army to digitalization and win a zero-death war. Marshal Ogalkov was stubborn and obsessed with the magnificent epic picture of the "Stalin Assault".

The relationship between the guards was very rigid, but these old guys who had rigid thoughts, degenerated organs, aging and cremated, had a huge influence in the army. In the previous stage, Marshal Ogalkov was free to play, and a war that was related to the destiny of the country was carried out according to his vision and was greatly successful, which made the old guard very dissatisfied. Sweeping through the three northeastern provinces and conquering Zhangjiakou, these brilliant achievements have allowed Marshal Ogalkov and other reformists to gain enough voice in the army. No one can block the path of reform of the Soviet army. It is time to appease the old guards.

Borosilov's arrangement is also the right way. The essence of politics lies in balance. He must maintain a balance between the reformists and the old guards so that both sides can seek him and stabilize his position. Of course, when leaving Marshal Ogalkov on Moscow, in addition to giving face to the old guards, there are also realistic considerations: NATO's small moves are increasing, and the Citi Army gathered in NATO alone reached a record 700,000, and most of the elite troops are moving to the Far East. It really requires Marshal Ogalkov, who is worth enough, who is a man of sufficient weight.

Stay here to suppress NATO so that they will not stab in the back. As for the war in the Far East, Borosilov himself is optimistic. The huge army of more than 120 divisions is only a short distance from the capital of China. Being able to win is not a skill, but being able to lose is a skill! The laser weapon of China has been restored. This thing is very annoying. However, after a month of intense work, the Mir space station has been re-armed. The fatal blow from outer space will start in 24 hours. Even if China has the ability to defy the will of heaven, it will not be able to protect Beijing!

To fight nuclear war? Don’t be afraid. The particle beam launcher located on Liangzanzhou has been put into service. Even if China fires all their intercontinental missiles, it will not be able to penetrate the Soviet missile defense system. It really doesn’t work. The Soviet Union has nuclear air defense missiles, which directly uses nuclear bombs to blow up the incoming intercontinental missiles! There is no reason to lose no matter how you think about it.

However, after the meeting, he still said to Marshal Ogalkov with great regret: "I'm sorry, Marshal, I have distributed your victory fruit to the old guards. The honor of conquering the East should belong to you!"

Marshal Ogalkov smiled indifferently: "It's nothing. I have received enough honors in this war. Winning Beijing is just a icing on the cake. There is not much benefit. On the contrary, it will make my relationship with the old guard worse." His expression became solemn. "Marrior Meletskov's command ability is one of the best in the entire Soviet Red Army. He has a strong offensive spirit and is especially able to fight tough battles. I have nothing to worry about when he is responsible for this stage of war. However, I am always worried."

Borosilov smiled: "What can you worry about?"

Marshal Ogalkov said: "Chinese Army! The Chinese Army is a terrible opponent. The quality and spirit of sacrifice of soldiers are not inferior to our Red Army. In terms of the flexibility of tactical use, they are even more than above the Red Army. What they are best at is to intersperse and divide and surround, and to fight isolated enemies and accumulate small victories into big victory. However, in the more than two months I fought with them, they never mobilized the people to fight a people's war with us, and rarely launched guerrilla wars behind us, nor did they attack the Siberian Railway, which made our logistics supply unimpeded! They seemed to be unable to fight at all, and they would only shrink their troops to cities and strategic points to fight hard with us, fight stupid wars, and rarely take risks to launch big detours........."

Borosilov said: "That's because you are so well-defended by Marshal. We are not the waste of the United Nations army. If the Chinese army wanted to defeat us with a big detour like the United Nations army, their detour troops would 100% enter your already-laid pocket, and finally be wiped out by our heavy artillery tanks in turn!"

Marshal Ogalkov did not speak. The Soviet army was not unfamiliar with the great roundabout tactics. This tactic was used to the extreme by the German army, leaving painful memories for the Soviet army again and again. Looking at the first stage of the Soviet Patriotic War, it is not difficult to see that none of the most beautiful battles fought by the German army were fought head-on. While restraining the main force of the Soviet army, the German army would use the most elite armored troops and mechanized troops to penetrate the Soviet army's empty defense flanks and even the junction between two heavy army clusters, taking the key points, cutting the Soviet army's defense system, blocking the Soviet army's logistics line, causing the Soviet army to be in a hurry and eventually defeated - like a fierce lightning bolt, instantly breaking through the entire defense depth! The Japanese Army also learned this trick, and in the eight-year war of aggression against China

It was tried and tested, and often the Chinese army would be defeated after a big detour, but they did not learn enough, so they were severely repaired by the Soviet army in the Battle of Nomenkan. Seven brigades deviated deep into the Soviet army, and ended up drilling into the pocket formation set up by Marshal Zhukov for them, and the entire army was wiped out. After suffering from the German army, the Soviet army naturally could not be unprepared for this set. As Borosilov said, if the Chinese army really wanted to play this set with him, at least six out of ten times would drill into the pocket formation set up by him, and would be quickly smashed into mud by overwhelming artillery fire.

"I'm still worried," he said.

Borosilov asked: "Why?"

Marshal Ogarkov said: "Logistics line!"

"Hasn't our logistics line been good all the time?" Borosilov said.

Marshal Ogalkov said: "Yes, it has always been good and unobstructed. It is precisely because of this that I can't rest! The logistics line is our only weakness, and the Chinese army will not be unaware that they want to turn defeat into victory. The only opportunity is to cut off our logistics line, but they have never done this. At the beginning, I thought it was because they did not have such ability. Now I am increasingly suspicious that they deliberately kept our logistics line open and made the 1.6 million elite Red Army soldiers accustomed to this unobstructed, and believed that our logistics line could be unobstructed forever!" His voice

Some sand seemed to have phlegm surged up, but he endured his cough and continued, "People are lazy. If something might be taken away by someone at any time, he would rack his brains to protect it; but when he found that others had not beaten this thing at all, he would soon not take it seriously. Now the millions of troops in the entire Far East battlefield were fascinated by the huge temptation of conquering the East. Who else took our fragile logistics line seriously? What would happen if the Chinese army suddenly cut off our logistics line at this time? The entire army would be in chaos immediately and the consequences would be unimaginable!"

Borosilov was slightly startled and then smiled relaxedly: "You are too worried, the Chinese army has not attacked our logistics line at all, unless they are willing to risk ten times of revenge by us to launch their few medium-range ballistic missiles on the Siberian Railway!"

Ogarkov raised his voice: "I don't know if they have such ability. I only know that in the past two months, they have been delaying time and paid the price of more than one million soldiers' casualties! I can be sure that their previous sacrifices were all for a counterattack. They were by no means satisfied with driving us out of their country. Their ideal victory should be to annihilate all the 1.6 million troops we entered China, and thus regain Siberia!"

Borosilov snorted coldly: "They are dreaming!"

Ogarkov said: "It sounds ridiculous, but a group of people are willing to pay for a ridiculous goal.

It is not ridiculous to make efforts that ordinary people cannot imagine! Ivan, we have to be careful, the Soviet Union cannot afford to lose!"

Borosilov thought carefully for a moment and asked: "In your opinion, how will the Chinese Congress launch a fatal blow to our logistics line?"

Ogarkov was silent for a long time and shook his head: "I can't think of it, but it's always impossible to make an emergency plan better than ever before."

Borosilov said: "This way, I will distribute 1,500 transport helicopters and 300 medium-sized transport aircraft. Once the Siberian Railway is really hit by the devastating blow you call, use this fleet to transport supplies to the front line immediately. I think this transportation force is enough to support the Soviet Union's railway repair."

Ogalkov nodded slightly. This was a perfect solution. The Soviet army had held many similar exercises. The background of the exercise was that the logistics line was hit by the enemy's nuclear strike. The command urgently mobilized a large number of transport aircraft and transport helicopters to transport tens of thousands of tons of materials to the front line. The Soviet army's capabilities in this regard are still trustworthy.

However, will the next war really go in the direction they expected? Marshal Ogalkov is unsure. In the previous stage of the war, he tried every means to force the Chinese army to show his last trump card, but none of them succeeded. Now the Chinese army should be almost ready, right? What is their last ace?

Can't guess thoroughly, can't guess thoroughly!

Liu Weiping, it’s your turn to command this war next? I really hope to have a peak showdown with you!
