Rebirth of the National Marshal

Mao Yuanshan quickly exchanged opinions with the chief of staff on some of the situations on the front line. After all, he didn't know much about the situations on the front line. There was a ready-made military strategist at home, so why not use him? He must consult him carefully.

To be honest, when Mr. Chiang Bai-ri heard the news for the first time, he thought Mao Yuanshan was lying. He also did not expect that the Soviet Union's combat effectiveness would be weakened so much. You know, he also knew some of the situation when the Soviets fought with the Northeast Army. The Northeast Army was considered to be very powerful in the country, but it was defeated by the Soviets after a slight contact with the Soviets. This was due to equipment reasons, but more importantly, it was a training issue. The Soviet training was much stronger than the Chinese, and most of their military officers came from military academies, and there were very few with a low cultural level. However, this command made Mr. Chiang Bai-ri see the shortcomings of the Soviets, so he believed that Mao Yuanshan's proactive attack was correct.

Of course, this proactive attack also has many dangers. It would be better if the reinforcements could arrive faster. After all, there are not many troops on the front line now. Once the attack fails, it will be difficult to defend the position well.

So Mr. Jiang Baili immediately formulated a new defense plan. It was not that he hoped Mao Yuanshan would lose the battle, but mainly to prepare. Who knows what the result of the attack will be? In case of failure, there is also a plan. In addition to the defense plan of Mao Yuanshan, a second defense line should be built 40 kilometers behind Mao Yuanshan's first-line position. This is also needed for in-depth defense. Many people's defenses are all placed on the first line. Now there is no in-depth defense, which is a fatal thing.

This is the thinking of the Chinese people. No matter how much territory you take, this is what you should do, and you must not make any mistakes. If you lose Mongolia again, you will be cursed by everyone.

The support troops in the rear also began to advance at full speed. Because the number of drivers has increased, they can advance non-stop for 24 hours. Anyway, it's not people walking, so the soldiers can sleep and eat in the car if they are tired. They just need a few hours to go to the bathroom. The driver in the front has been driving all the time, and another driver will take over after two hours. In this way, everyone has time to rest. They keep traveling day and night because the situation on the front line no longer allows them to march normally.

At normal speed, it would take them a long time to reach the front line. Now, if they move at wartime speed, it would only take them more than fifty hours to provide strong support to the front line.

However, this kind of forced march also has a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the army. For example, a soldier has been sitting in a car for dozens of hours and must take a certain amount of rest after getting off. Without this period of rest, their combat effectiveness will definitely not be able to be exerted.

If the railway from Chahar area to Mongolia is completed, similar situations will not occur. Unfortunately, less than 30% of it has been built now. If you want to transport soldiers by rail, you'd better wait!

As for the Soviet army, the situation was already extremely bad, and they did not expect that the Chahar army would launch an attack immediately.

In the eyes of these guys, the Chinese were just taking advantage at the beginning of the war and would never attack immediately because in their impression, they were the ones who came to attack while the Chinese were responsible for defense. It was impossible for the positions to be reversed.

Besides, they have an army of 25 after all. Although they lost to soldiers before, for the entire army, this number of losses is still within an acceptable range. If the Chinese really abandon their positions and rush up without knowing the consequences, that would be their nightmare. Even if we go over and spit on them, we can drown all these Chinese people.

So they would not do such a thing. They should continue to defend their positions and might just tremble there. This is an advantage that Europeans have over Asians. In their hearts, they generally believe that Asians' combat effectiveness is not as good as theirs. Even though they have suffered heavy losses now, they are still unwilling to admit this failure in their minds. They still think that this is due to their carelessness in defense. If they can cheer up, the Chahar army will never be able to cause any damage to them.

In just a few hours, they seemed to have walked out of the hell they had just been in. Just now, they were still thinking about retreating quickly and running as far as they could, especially because of the damage caused by the napalm bombs. Now it is completely different. It seems that they have regained their confidence. All the fear is gone, and they start to show off on their positions again.

Marshal Timoshenko came out again in a new military uniform. He was the spirited commander of the front again. He was absolutely different from the embarrassed look just now. Just now, this guy almost peed his pants, but now he is the same as before. It has to be said that the Soviets are also very good at superficial work.

However, Marshal Timoshenko was also very distressed at the moment. The loss report just now was already too little. The armored forces had lost more than 80%, and the heavy artillery forces had basically nothing. The loss of soldiers was not that serious. Besides, in the eyes of the Soviets, these equipment have always been the most precious. As for the lives of the soldiers, there are plenty of them. We in the Soviet Union have hundreds of millions of people. To form an army of tens of millions is just a matter of a word from the supreme leader. There is no need to worry about the loss of the army at all.

However, the loss of these weapons and equipment cannot be replenished in a short period of time. If it was in the European part, it would be easy to say, but now it is in the distant Far East. The supply of any equipment needs more than ten days of train transportation. Although the Siberian Industrial Zone is to be built, this statement is just lip service. It is not so easy to build a huge industrial zone on a piece of wasteland. Many experts have said that although Siberia has very good mineral resources, the climate here is really too bad. The main reason is that there are relatively few people here, and it is too difficult to migrate people from Europe.
