Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

In the Far East, in addition to Vasilevsky, Malinovsky of the Second Front and Meretskov of the Karelian Front were also transferred.

Three men with the rank of marshal, together with the current commander of the Far Eastern Army, General Purkayev, joined together.

The four of them jointly commanded the Far East campaign.

There are currently 130 million troops in the Far East, whose equipment is slightly backward and far inferior to the Soviet-Red soldiers stationed in West Germany.

The artillery is outdated, the tanks are old-fashioned, and their combat effectiveness is low.

It was unanimously decided to dispatch elite soldiers from the European battlefield to join the battle in the Far East.

Trains were used to transport weapons, equipment and combat supplies in preparation for large-scale warfare.

Modern warfare requires even greater amounts of logistical supplies, especially ammunition reserves. One artillery shell weighs 40 to 50 kilograms. How much logistical carrying capacity is needed to transport 10,000 artillery shells?

Compared with the European battlefield, the Asian battlefield is really small.

They can easily use millions of artillery shells over there, but we may not even use up 100 million artillery shells in a year of fighting here.

Ding Wei's estimate was correct, and Zhou Weiguo's concerns were also correct. The train was requisitioned by the military and began to transport supplies to the Far East in a steady stream.

It was planned to mobilize 51.3 railway carriages to carry tons of supplies;

70 tons of supplies shipped by sea;

4222 combat supplies were airlifted to the Far East.

It is planned to mobilize the 39th Guards Tank Army, the 53th, th and rd Army from the European battlefield. These are elite troops that have participated in large-scale battles and have long-tested combat effectiveness.

In addition to this, there are plans to mobilize one breakthrough artillery corps, one mechanized corps, three rocket artillery brigades, and two tank brigades.

The total number of troops is more than 40, which, together with the existing garrisons in the Far East, totals 175 million.

It includes 33 main armies and 131 divisions.

Such a huge force is like an overwhelming pressure, making it hard to breathe.

From the beginning of June, the Far Eastern Army began to mobilize its troops.

As the train roared in, a large number of soldiers jumped off the vehicle, picked up their weapons and garrisoned in the planned area.

The Soviet Union's battle plan was not complete. They were mobilizing supplies and troops while preparing battle plans.

The Kwantung Army was in a state of panic before a major war.

Logically, this information should have been encrypted, but for some reason, it appeared in the Kwantung Army Headquarters and Ding Wei's headquarters.

Could it be that the Soviets deliberately leaked the information?

Use unparalleled strength to intimidate the Kwantung Army and the Sui-Re-Cha Military Region.

He attempted to use military force to suppress morale.

Ding Wei looked at the list obtained by the intelligence personnel and put it on the table with a smile.

"What is this? Only paper tigers use false impressions to scare people. I, Ding Wei, was not brought up by fear. If the Russians want to take over my Suirecha Military Region, they have to think about their teeth."

Zhong Zhicheng quickly explained:

"Old Ding, the Soviet Union wants to annihilate the Kwantung Army. I think it is a prelude to the Kwantung Army to start a war. It is a deterrent to the Kwantung Army."

"Our soldiers from the military district will cooperate to attack from both sides and take down the Japanese in one fell swoop, and completely eliminate these beasts that are harming people."

"The great powers are mobilizing their forces and shipping millions of tons of supplies to the Far East. In my opinion, the battle will soon be over."

Ding Wei looked at Zhong Zhicheng. He thought that this political commissar was good in every way. He was conscientious and responsible in his work and had principles.

But the strategic vision is so different, so it is not necessary to call the Soviet Union the big brother?

You treat others as your big brother, but others treat you as their little brother.

That's not how wars are fought, and that's not how big brothers are recognized. The Russians won the European battlefield, and that's absolutely true.

Looking at their state, they are extremely crazy and have already regarded themselves as the strongest army in the world.

There is indeed little controversy as to whether or not they are the strongest, because no one can resist the iron torrent of Su Hong's soldiers.

While the two were talking, new information was delivered.

More than 2000 T34 tanks were transferred from the western region and have been transported to the Trans-Baikal direction in the first batch of supplies. They will be divided and used by the First and Second Northern Fronts.

In the entire Far East region, there are more than 5000 tanks, half of which are old-model tanks, half are the most advanced T34 tanks, and there are also hundreds of self-propelled artillery.

3721 fighter planes and more than 2 artillery pieces were allocated.

The two of them were silent after seeing this. No matter what, the Soviets' wealth was indeed something to be proud of. If Ding Wei had such wealth, he would be so proud.

The Kwantung Army, which was the most alarmed, had been arranging senior officials and diplomats to go to Moscow for negotiations.

The Japanese also hoped that the Far Eastern Army would not send troops. After all, the two sides only fought once in World War II, at Nomonhan. There was a win and a loss, and there was no more friction after that.

The Russians also knew that the fanaticism of the Kwantung Army was difficult to deal with, otherwise they would not have drawn elite soldiers from Moscow and Eastern Europe to join the war.

The second-rate Far Eastern Army alone may not be able to defeat the 70-member Kwantung Army.

It should be said that the Far Eastern Army with only 130 million soldiers would definitely not be able to defeat the Japanese who were defending tightly.

The combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army was seriously reduced, and the proportion of old Japanese soldiers was estimated to be only a quarter, or even less. Among the 70 Kwantung Army, only a few hundred thousand were old Japanese soldiers.

The rest were the mobilized new recruits, local militiamen, and even armed expatriates.

Under the influence of the frenzy, there was a full mobilization.

A tense atmosphere permeated the entire Northeast region, and even though it was summer, it was covered with a layer of coldness.

The issue of the Far East Army's dispatch is still being discussed. Apparently, the Japanese haven't offered any benefits that would appeal to the loving father, so the resources are being transported over continuously.

It means that this storm is bound to come.

Zhou Weiguo arrived in Ulaanbaatar by train. He acted quickly and transported three batches of supplies here in advance.

In the factories in Datong, Wucheng and Xilin Gol, women and the elderly are all involved in production.

Repair broken rifles and clean damaged firearms.

Ding Wei came to Linxi County from Baichengzi, which is an important base of the Suirecha Military Region located in the mountainous area.

A simple road has been built connecting Xilin Gol and Tongliao, and trucks are pouring in.

This batch of supplies looked very strange, as they were actually 7% new helmets.

After cleaning the blood stains and slightly mending them, they were sent to the front line.

Dezi’s helmet has a good design, excellent comprehensive protection performance, and the quality of the steel used is also very superior.

When shooting at an oblique angle, it is very likely to save the soldier's life and prevent him from being pierced by the bullet.

It’s not that soldiers are unwilling to wear helmets. This thing can effectively protect against shrapnel and the impact of explosions. Who would want to refuse to have a good life?

The key problem is the shortage of materials, and there is no ability to mass-produce helmets.

If everyone wears helmets, a large number of unnecessary casualties can be reduced.

It is a pity that the number is a little small, only more than 5, and they can be equipped to armored divisions first.

There is no need to erase the marks. Dezi's soldiers are unlikely to appear in the Far East anyway, and Dezi has already surrendered, so it won't have much impact if Ding Wei uses the helmet.

The others are some light weapons. To be honest, except for the 98K, the rest are not very useful.

Because the bullets are not universal and there is no place to replenish them, equipping the troops will increase logistical pressure.
