Rebirth of the National Marshal

"I originally thought that you soldiers were not capable of calculating economic accounts, but I didn't expect that you are so smart. If you put down your gun one day, I think it would be a good idea to go to the Ministry of Education. You really know a lot about these children's affairs." Mao Yuanshan said jokingly, but Qiu Qingquan was already frightened and his face turned pale.

I might as well give myself a bullet if I were to be expelled from the army and become an official in the Ministry of Education. I usually spend my time in the army, and I really don't want to get involved in local affairs, especially the education department. No matter how important it is, I don't want to be there.

"Forget it. If you want me to go to the education department, you might as well demote me to a private. I will just drive a tank honestly. I don't want to go to the education department. The things there are too trivial. It's so good to be in the army. A good man has ambitions. I still want to drive my tank to fight in the north." Qiu Qingquan quickly rejected this idea.

Although the boss was just joking, and he could see that, this boss never does things according to common sense. It is very likely that anything he says will be a done deal. For such things, he has no way to change anything and can only adapt to it.

"I heard that the Soviets are preparing to send more troops to the Far East, and want to beat us back in one fell swoop. I wonder if this is true?" Since we are not allowed to attack Irkutsk, it should be possible to attack other places. As the chief of staff on the front line, this news is no secret to him.

"You are well-informed, boy. It seems that you have an old friend in the headquarters. What you said is right. The Soviets will never swallow such a loss, especially at our hands. It doesn't matter to them to occupy Mongolia. After all, Mongolia was not their territory originally. But the land under our feet is different. They have occupied it for hundreds of years. In their hearts, this place has long been like their home. It is absolutely impossible for them to give up this territory. Comrade Stalin, who is very respected by the Soviets, has already made a plan to dispatch 50 infantry divisions, two armored divisions, and two aviation divisions to beat us back in one fell swoop. As the old saying goes, we have to take Mongolia back." Mao Yuanshan's words directly scared Qiu Qingquan, but Mao Yuanshan himself was talking and laughing. This is the attitude of a time traveler. Qiu Qingquan is already a very courageous guy, but when he heard about the troops sent by the Soviets, he quickly weighed his own army. It seems that a lot of reinforcements have been made, but there are still some deficiencies.

According to the Soviets' ability, they will definitely dispatch more than 50 troops, more than 1000 artillery pieces, hundreds of tanks, and hundreds of aircraft. They are going to have a decisive battle with us here. The Soviets are ranked second in the world, and their industrial capacity is also ranked second. Of course, they can afford this war, but our Chahar local government is now facing more than 60 Japanese troops on the Chengde front. Maybe we will start fighting with the Kwantung Army at any time. We have caused such trouble with the Soviets here. It's really incredible. If a fight really breaks out, can our Chahar local government face two battlefields at the same time? You must know that the Chahar local government only has troops now.

Among these 60 troops, 30 have basically seen blood and have fought on the battlefield for a long time. They can be said to be a veteran army that either defeated the Japanese or the Soviets.

But the situation is different for the other 30 troops. It can be said that the other 30 troops are all new recruits. Although they have enough time to train in the training camp, basically none of them have been on the battlefield.

Moreover, the air force has not been able to develop and has remained the same as before, with an increase of about 200 pilots. Now, only about 800 fighters and bombers can be deployed, and the remaining 500 or so are all transport planes.

Whether it is from the Battle of Shanghai or the Soviet War in the north, we can see the importance of the air force. If the air force can gain air superiority in the first place, then the army below will definitely be able to fight the war smoothly and rush forward smoothly. If the air force fails to gain air superiority, then your army may suffer losses of more than 1/3 before it even reaches the battlefield. This can be seen from the Soviets and the Japanese.

Another one is the armored forces. The armored forces played another major role in why Chahar's army was able to achieve unstoppable success in the battlefields against the Japanese and the Soviets. It can be said that 30% was due to the effective bombing of the air force and 30% was due to the effective impact of the armored regiment.

The Chahar local government now has seven armored regiments, but only three of them have been tempered on the battlefield, and the other four have not yet been baptized by blood.

We still don't know what their combat effectiveness is like. Of course, they will definitely be stronger than ordinary infantry regiments. If they can't catch up with ordinary infantry regiments, just cancel their numbers. And most of the new equipment are Sherman tanks.

Although the Tiger tank is very powerful, its mechanical structure is relatively complex and it is classified as a heavy tank. For the time being, the Sherman tank is sufficient in the battlefield against the Soviet Union and Japan. Moreover, the fuel consumption of the Sherman tank is relatively low. In some more flexible battlefields, the Sherman tank is much stronger than the Tiger tank.

When the Americans made this tank, they did not think of using precision machinery. They made it in order to be able to produce it in large quantities so that it could become familiar with various environments on the battlefield, making it very aggressive. Now it has appeared in various battlefields.

The Tiger tank is really delicate, so let the Sherman tank take on the main responsibility. Of course, there must be a Tiger tank regiment on both battlefields, as they are a type of heavy tank.

The Soviets already felt that their tanks were not enough, but it would take a certain amount of time to design and produce a new tank.
