Beiyang reactionaries

Because of Bijin's important status, the Soviet Union plans to set up a port in Bijin.Zhukov gave up a large number of places, but still left a brigade of troops in Bijin.But now that the Chinese army started to attack, Zhukov knew that Bijin couldn't hold it.So let the troops evacuate immediately.

"Where are the Soviet fighter jets?"

"gone back."

"This is the so-called change in tactics brought about by the development of weapons."

Qiqihar.

The headquarters of the Heilongjiang Military Region is also the front-line headquarters of the Northeast Military Region.Li Yunlong, the front-line commander of the Northeast Military Region and commander of the Heilongjiang Military Region, was in a good mood, chatting with his chief of staff, Lin Wei.

For the generals of their generation, the world is changing too fast, and it is very difficult for them to adapt, and they will be eliminated if they don't work hard.When they rose in the early years, many people relied on courage and some cleverness to fight in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.Many people have not received formal military education, or have only received very little military education.In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, as well as the warlord wars in the early years, there were no problems with these.Many people are born to fight, and with a little experience in war, they can fight very well.Even at that time courage was more important than anything else.

During the war between warlords, some fierce generals are most useful.At that time, many warlord troops were not strong, and they were easily defeated in the face of some daring troops.So at that time, fierce generals were the most popular.

But later this happened less and less.

Although at any time, courage is the most important thing in war.However, as the army became more regularized and weapons developed more and more, the previous reckless offensive mode was completely eliminated.

Because of the emergence of various new weapons, there have been many changes in the way of fighting.For example, after the Chinese army began to equip a large number of aircraft, tanks, and artillery, many of the original experiences were useless, and various new tactics appeared.The extensive use of these weapons requires officers to be familiar with the new weapons.

As an army general, you either adapt to this change or you are eliminated.In the early years, there were many generals in the army who followed Chen Ping, and many of them are now relegated to the second line.Although he has not retired from the army, he is no longer in charge of front-line combat in the army.It is because they are already unable to adapt to the new war mode.

Many generals like Li Yunlong who were born recklessly failed to reach the highest position.The higher the position, the more important the culture is.Many generals from reckless backgrounds are full of courage, but they are not suitable for new operations.So many people can only do other jobs.Those people are heroes, and Duan Xun can't treat them harshly, so he gives them some jobs within his ability.Just don't let them continue to lead troops to fight.

Among these people, Li Yunlong is a very exceptional person.

Li Yunlong was born as a swordsman in Shaanxi, so he has no culture.But he himself is very eager to learn, and he actively participates in various short-term military academy training courses.It is precisely because of this that Li Yunlong was able to reach his current position.He is not only the deputy commander of the Northeast Military Region, but also the frontline commander of the Northeast Military Region.

Although Shang Zhen is the commander of the Northeast Military Region, most of the frontline actions are respected by Li Yunlong, and the frontline command headed by Li Yunlong is personally responsible.With the current strength of the Northeast Military Region, and even the strength of the Heilongjiang Military Region, it is not impossible to storm the Soviet Far East Military Region.

Because from any aspect, the Northeast Military Region has an absolute advantage.

The Heilongjiang Military Region alone has gathered millions of troops, and the Chinese army has an overwhelming advantage in the number of aircraft, tanks, and artillery.

But the Northeast Military Region did not move.

It is because Zhukov is indeed very powerful.He summed up the disastrous defeat of the previous Soviet troops, and made some new adjustments to the troops of the Far East Military Region.The fortifications are very well done.If there is a strong attack, the casualties will be great.

That's why the Northeast Military Region will slowly wear down the morale of the Soviet army and consume their logistical reserves, instead of choosing to storm the Soviet army's positions.

"Yes."

Lin Wei nodded.

Lin Wei pointed to the map and said, "Zhukov was worried that we would raid their airfield and repeat the mistakes of the Transbaikal Military Region. So we set the airfield 200 kilometers away from the front line. Zhukov's method can indeed avoid them. The airport was raided by us, but they also restricted the use of their aircraft. Like their I-15 fighter jets, the range is very limited, and the maximum range is only about 500 kilometers. Calculated by their range, they can take part in the battle when they come to the front line There are quite a few. As long as we have a good grasp of the distance, these fighter jets have no way to engage us. If there is a slight delay, they will not even be able to return to their own airport. The maximum range of the Yi-16 can reach 800 kilometers, but in fact it is It’s not that far away. So our bombers slipped around, and the Soviet fighters didn’t dare to follow.”

targeted tactics.

Chinese air forces are targeted tactics.

The bombers didn't want to meet the Soviet fighters.Bombers and fighters meet, that is not courting death.But the Chinese Air Force has calculated the range of the Soviet fighter jets.Because of the range, Soviet fighter jets did not dare to go deep into China.

Even at the border, Soviet fighter jets are very cautious.I don't want to fight with Chinese fighter jets for too long, because the range is too short.The Soviet Union was far inferior to European and American countries in terms of industrial technology.

Like the United States, many fighter jets produced in World War II had amazing ranges.

But the Soviet Union did not have much advantage in this regard.In order to make up for this disadvantage, the Soviet Union produced fighter jets with the idea of ​​enhancing mobility.Improve your agility and speed to take down your opponents.

China deliberately let Soviet fighter jets take off frequently, but did not confront it head-on.

I am not afraid of Soviet fighter jets fleeing into the border.

But this is also no way.

The Chinese army interfered with the Soviet radar station at every turn.If the airport is placed too far forward, it is easy to be attacked by the Chinese Air Force.In order to guard against air strikes by the Chinese Air Force, Zhukov set up the airport far away.In this way, even if the radar station did not find the Chinese Air Force, but the forward observation post found the Chinese aircraft, giving the airport behind enough time to react.

But the result of this is that it greatly affects the range of Soviet aircraft.

"Commander, this is the amount of aviation oil consumed by the Soviet Air Force calculated by our staff during this period, and the oil reserves consumed by the Soviet Far East Military Region during this period calculated by Shenyang."

After some digressions, Lin Wei took out a piece of data.

Li Yunlong took it.

There are statistics from the Northeast Military Region Staff Office, and there are also statistics from the Heilongjiang Military Region itself.From the beginning of the war, the strategy of the Northeast Military Region is obvious.That is to confront the Soviet Far East Military Region and consume their supplies.

Overall, the strategy has been very successful.

Because as long as the Northern Military Region cuts off the Trans-Siberian Railway, the Far Eastern Military Region will become an isolated island, unable to receive other supplies at all.Originally, the largest supply of the Far Eastern Military Region was in Chita, but Chita fell too quickly, and many of the Far Eastern Military Region's reserves in Chita became China's spoils of war.

So reserves are inherently limited.

For more than 50 days, the Northeast Military Region has been depleting their reserves.Moreover, in the Battle of Vladivostok some time ago, the Chinese army wiped out half of the elite Red Banner First Group Army of the Soviet Far Eastern Military Region, and annihilated the Soviet Pacific Fleet, which continued to reduce the reserves of the Far Eastern Military Region.

The Northeast Military Region and the Heilongjiang Military Region have been counting the number of planes that the Soviet Union takes off every day, and then make calculations.Look at how much aviation fuel their air force consumes every day to deduce how much reserve the Soviet air force has left.

"What do you think?"

"It can be seen from the data that the Far Eastern Military Region has consumed a lot of oil since the start of the war. Moreover, they have successively lost two important oil reserve bases in the Far Eastern Military Region, Chita and Vladivostok. Therefore, according to our analysis, after this period of time The Soviet Air Force's aviation oil reserves are bound to bottom out. Now the Soviet Air Force estimates that it is difficult to fight an air battle. This can be seen from the situation of the Soviet Air Force in the past few days. In the face of frequent air raids by our army, their fighter jets took off The frequency has dropped significantly."

"Ah."

Li Yunlong nodded.

Agree with Lin Wei's analysis.Soviet fighter jets dare not take off at will now, which is an obvious signal.The Chinese Air Force has organized several bombing brigades to bomb the Blagoveshchensk (Hailanpao) position, but no Soviet fighter jets appeared.

It was when bombing Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk) that the Soviet Union mobilized some fighter jets.But the number is also limited, and as long as the Chinese bombers leave, their fighters will return immediately.

Not willing to have a large-scale battle with China.

In fact, Li Yunlong and the others estimated really well.Originally Zhukov was ready for a big air battle, but he didn't expect to be played again by the Chinese Air Force.The result is that the oil reserves that were already lacking really bottomed out.

For the next few days, Zhukov dared not let the plane take off.

"The most obvious is the number of reconnaissance planes taking off."

Lin Wei continued: "Recently, we have frequently mobilized troops on the front line and made an offensive posture. It should be said that they should send more reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance, so as to make a countermeasure. However, the Soviet reconnaissance planes took off in the past two days The frequency has also dropped."

"That's right, that's the truth."

Li Yunlong nodded.

Looking at the map, he said: "Now we are negotiating with the Soviet Union. If we can quickly resolve the troops of the Far East Military Region on the opposite side at this time, it will definitely be of great benefit to the negotiation."

"Commander, judging from our investigation, the Soviet Union's fortifications are really good. If there is a strong attack, the casualties will be great. I don't recommend a strong attack."

"No, you can attack by force."
