Chapter 355: Drive the enemy to the north (Part 1)
Zhan Yang smiled slightly and said, "Please rest assured that the troops under the Northeast Cluster of our unit are ready, and there are three mobile light cavalry regiments assigned to me by the central cluster. I also first use the armored division to dig a breakthrough at the eastern end of the Japanese defense line. Two new divisions of the Youth Army are equipped with a mobile rocket artillery brigade and a field heavy artillery brigade to go deep into Andong and Yingkou. As long as the Japanese dare to divide their troops, they will guerrilla groups with three mobile light cavalry regiments, and use the armored division to attack the enemy's flanks, and gradually divide and annihilate the Japanese counterattack."
Zhang Xuewu nodded and said, "Within the air force combat range where our army is superior, the Japanese naval advantage cannot be exerted, but our army lacks heavy bombers and torpedo aircraft, and cannot pose a fatal blow to the large Japanese ships, so it can only focus on blockade."
Gao Zhihang nodded and said, "It is a fact that our army does not have torpedo aircraft, and most of the pilots do not have experience in maritime attack and combat. Moreover, sea training is very different from land-based combat. Our pilots need a lot of training to be able to engage in combat. If they are rashly invested in combat, our army's losses will be very great. However, the 30-mm and 50-mm honeycomb rockets equipped by our army recently have very good results, especially the twenty 50-mm rockets equipped with white phosphorus warheads can be launched within four to five seconds. However, during the launch, very experienced and experienced pilots need to perform precise control to ensure a concentrated hit rate!"
Zhang Xuewu nodded and said, "Please ask Director Gao to introduce this in detail. After all, we have specialties in technology. We still don't know much about the strategy and tactics of the Air Force. We can raise any difficulties. For strategy and politics, we have done too many such things before. I hope they won't happen again in the future."
Gao Zhihang took a deep breath. Zhang Xuewu's understanding of the Air Force made him very moved, so he said: "The performance of the Falcon-type attack aircraft is indeed very good, especially its dive speed and climbing speed, which exceed the attack aircraft in service in various countries around the world. However, it hesitates too quickly when diving at high speed, and requires a very skilled pilot to master attack skills. Japanese naval ships all use high-ship bridges. This design has the advantage of predicting the enemy's leading opportunity during the naval battle during World War I, but now it is extremely easy to be hit by air strikes. Once the bridge is destroyed, the combat effectiveness of the entire warship will not be left to three."
Zhang Xuewu, Gao Zhihang and others were discussing how to attack the Japanese Kwantung Army. Nagava made an excuse to leave, and Zhang Xuewu just waved his hand. After Nagava left, Zhang Xuewu pointed to a small trumpet under the table in the reception room, then made a silence move, blinked hard at Zhan Yang and Ye Yunfei and said, "You continue talking!"
Zhan Yang understood and said, "Commander, the Russian translator just now is here, so we will discuss all the next combat plans. Is this okay? It will give the Russians a comprehensive understanding of our military's combat plan. If the Russians leak secrets, our military may fall into a strategic passiveness in all aspects."
Zhang Xuewu said indifferently: "The Russians need us to restrain and continuously weaken the Japanese Kwantung Army, so our army can receive continuous assistance, defeat the Japanese Kwantung Army, eliminate and expel its main forces, and concentrate the main forces back to North China and Central China. It only takes two to three years to fully complete the preparations for a strategic counterattack, and the Soviet Union also needs our data and technology."
In a utility room more than ten meters away from Zhang Xuewu's room, several Chika spies were nervously recording and translating. The earliest eavesdropping device was not a high-tech thing for Zhang Xuewu. Since Zhang Xuewu moved in, he has carefully checked the corners of the room. Almost every room has such a eavesdropping device. To be honest, even all the sounds of his previous performance with Nagava were recorded and archived. Chika's work was excellent, and it was a pity that he met Zhang Xuewu.
Nagava reported to the direct person in charge Kanov. After Kanov quickly sorted it out, she immediately submitted it to the conference room. Stalin sat steadily on the large sofa in the conference room smoking a pipe. Zuokovsky, Vrasov, Kirov, Zhukov and others all sat on the sofa opposite. The atmosphere in the conference room seemed very depressing. Stalin glanced at the document on the table and said, "Frasov, you and Zhukov are experts on China issues. How do you view Zhang Xuewu's secret visit? The attitude of the 10th War Zone towards the Japanese Kanto Army directly affected the Far East policy to the Soviet government."
Zuokovsky glanced at Kirov and said, "Comrade Stalin, I think it would not be in the current interests of the Soviet Union if Zhang Xuewu completely defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army in the 10th War Zone. Zhang Xuewu's attitude towards us was in a swaying period. If Zhang Xuewu was supported to regain the Northeast, can Zhang Xuewu guarantee our interests in the Northeast? Mongolia's stay and actual control, so whether it is Japan or Zhang Xuewu, one of them has an absolute advantage, it is not in the interests of the Soviet Union. The best situation is that they are constantly consuming it."
Stalin nodded thoughtfully and said, "How is the verification of the technology and data drawings brought by Zhang Xuewu this time?"
When Kirov heard Stalin inquiring about technical exchanges and cooperation, he hurriedly stood up and said, "The twenty-one technical patents and drawings brought by the great Comrade Stalin and Zhang Xuewu have been confirmed by our experts, and they all have the value of practical use and space for research and improvement."
Stalin nodded and said, "Zhang Xuewu also made their request. After consideration, I believe that the amount of aid is too large, especially in finished oil, special alloy armor, aircraft engines, etc. As for the chassis of 600 TB-46 tanks and millions of OEM shells, equipment and materials such as equipment and materials can be provided to Zhang Xuewu's tenth war zone. In principle, the materials we provide are not enough to allow them to launch a large-scale attack immediately. The machinery and equipment they need can meet all their requirements. As long as it is not something that can generate combat effectiveness immediately, Zhang Xuewu needs us to give them. If the international situation changes dramatically in nine to twelve months, we will not be caught off guard or helpless."
Zhukov hesitated and said, "Dear Comrade Stalin, all the main combat forces of our Soviet Red Army are deployed against Europe, especially the border between Finland and Poland, which involves the main combat power of our Red Army. The troops deployed in the Far East can only restrain the Japanese Kwantung Army and have no offensive strength. Once they encounter the provocation of the Japanese army, they will be very passive. Therefore, I think we should give Zhang Xuewu a certain degree of assistance and support. Otherwise, if Zhang Xuewu stops attacking the Japanese Kwantung Army due to insufficient materials, then the Japanese Kwantung Army, which has suffered continuous defeats in the attack on Rehe, will likely shift its strategic focus. Before reaching a neutral treaty agreement with Japan or Germany, Japan and Germany are potential enemies of the Soviet Union. In the Far East, we need a reliable ally like Zhang Xuewu to share the possibility of the outbreak of the war for us."
Stalin looked at Zuokovsky and Vlasov, and Kirov nodded and said, "Then we will extend the supply time of materials, and the loans to Zhang Xuewu for assistance will be paid to them in batches, so that they can pay all orders such as 300 jackal light tank chassis that we manufactured can be given priority in production and payment, and shells can be opened to Zhang Xuewu, so that he can blow the Japanese up! But as for the so-called Zhang Xuewu hopes to sign a secret agreement with us, I don't think it is necessary. After all, Zhang Xuewu cannot represent the Chinese National Government. The only legal government recognized by my Soviet government is the National Government. If one day Zhang Xuewu is the representative of China's only legal government, he will discuss the exploration of the Mongolian issue and the Sino-Soviet border."
After deciding how to treat Zhang Xuewu's attitude and countermeasures, Stalin waved his hand and retreated to Zuokovsky, Vlasov and others. Although Zhang Xuewu had certain advanced technology, these were nothing in Stalin's eyes, because in Stalin's view, as long as the Soviet Union's assistance to Rehe was tight, it was not difficult to find any Zhang Xuewu's technology.
Zhang Xuewu came to the Soviet Union secretly and left quietly. Stalin was busy with government affairs and naturally flawlessly saw him. Zhang Xuewu had no complaints about this. After all, the gap between him and Stalin was like the superpowers of the United States of America and the small warlords of Somalia in later generations. Strength is everything in the international community, and without strength, there is naturally no respect! Gao Fei naturally knew this very clearly.
However, Zhang Xuewu's trip to the Soviet Union was relatively brilliant. The Soviet Union decided to assist him in a large amount of materials and machinery, including 500 to 150 mm to 75 mm shells, 70,000 tons of finished oil, 3,000 trucks, 3,000 trucks, 300 OEM light tank chassis for him, 200 Soviet-made 1936 Type 122 mm field howitzer has two production lines and related supporting equipment for the grenade production line of the same caliber, etc.
However, in addition to machinery and equipment, assistance was provided immediately, and weapons and equipment and ammunition were gradually delivered to the Tenth War Zone in nine months. The $150 million promised to provide at one time was also divided into twelve months of payment, from interest-free loans to 4% of international standard interest.
Zhang Xuewu knew that he had introduced the Soviet Union into a strategic consumption trap. When facing the sudden attack of the Germans, the Soviet Union that had taken the wrong route would be even more vulnerable, and his tenth war zone would also start to implement the plan to drive the enemy north from now on.
