Chapter 210: Choice! The will of the empire! (2)

"The base camp has issued a death order. June 22nd is the general attack on Japan. At that time, our front army must firmly nail the enemy in front to the front line and not give the enemy any chance to transfer one soldier or another."

After listening to Wang Zhi's announcement, the four army commanders exchanged glances with each other, but no one made a sound.

"There are only seven days left before the general attack day. I know that you each have their own difficulties. Before arranging the mission, I want to hear your understanding of their respective troops. Xu Hun, come first."

The commander and commander named him, and Xu Hun had to speak first: "Then I will say that the current situation is like the dustpan containing beans being overturned, and it is everywhere."

"The two infantry divisions of the First Army, the three cavalry brigades of the First Cavalry Army are scattered within 620 kilometers between Novosibirsk and Omsk; the main forces of the Imperial Guard Cavalry and the Imperial Guard Division are scattered within 380 kilometers between Omsk and Kurgan; the main forces of the three armored troops are scattered within 260 kilometers between Kurgan and Chelyabinsk."

"In order to catch up with the progress, under the principle of 'concentrating all available vehicles', the various units of the group army were demolished again and again, and formed a fast pursuit detachment centered on the chariot troops, and rushed to the full speed. Although the goal was achieved, the left-behind and left-behind units were sprinkled everywhere. Due to transportation difficulties, it was impossible to send these troops forward in time and return to the establishment."

Speaking of this, Xu Hun, who has never given up, had to spread his hands and admit: "The troops I can control now are a brigade-level detachment that is pieced together. There are less than a hundred chariots available, and more than half of the motor vehicles need to be overhauled."

Wang Zhi nodded expressionlessly: "I understand-Zhao Minhe, where are you?"

The bandage on the face did not seem to affect Zhao Minhe's reaction ability.

"The units of our Third Army are now scattered within 640 kilometers between Omsk and Chelyabinsk. The Seventh Army is mainly distributed between Omsk and Kurgan; the Fifth Army and the Third Cavalry Army are mainly distributed between Kurgan and Chelyabinsk. The troops currently stationed around Checheng are mainly one infantry division and one cavalry brigade. If there is no additional transportation tool, before the general attack, our Army can deploy troops near Checheng, at most two infantry divisions and three cavalry brigades."

"Chu Qing, where are you?"

Chu Qing, who has always been against Zhao Minhe, did not dare to vent his own words when he saw Wang Zhi's face today, and answered honestly: "Like the Third Army, the various units of our Fourth Army are also scattered between Omsk and Chelyabinsk, and half of the troops have been put into the road construction mission between Omsk and Kurgan. The combat troops between Kurgan and Chelyabinsk only have one infantry division and one cavalry brigade, and now there is only one battalion-level cavalry detachment near Checheng."

"Zhao Feixue."

Wang Zhi did not make comments, he just called each one.

Zhao Feixue, who always laughs all the time, has no interest in making jokes today. He straightened his chest and responded: "The First Army is now scattered between Novosibirsk and Kurgan, and about half of the troops are responsible for road construction. All heavy artillery units assigned to the army are stranded between Novosibirsk and Omsk. There are only two infantry divisions deployed between Omsk and Kurgan, and no troops have yet entered the vicinity of Checheng."

Wang Zhi nodded coldly: "In other words, there is only a brigade-level detachment near Checheng, an infantry division and a cavalry brigade of the Third Army, and a battalion-level detachment of the Fourth Army. Now we can only expect that the enemy does not know these."

"Zhao Minhe, I'll give you two thousand trucks. Within five days, I'll see the complete Third Army in Checheng. Can I guarantee it?"

"I can guarantee it." Zhao Minhe nodded calmly.

"Chu Qing, can you guarantee that all the combat troops between Kurgan and Chelyabinsk will be sent to the front line before the General Attack Day?"

"I...I can guarantee it." Chu Qing hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Zhao Feixue, I'll give you 1,500 trucks, the two divisions between Omsk and Kurgan, move me to the chariot city within five days. Is there any problem?"

Zhao Feixue swallowed, but still didn't dare to make up his mind: "I... can only say, I will do my best..."

Ignoring Zhao Feixue's retention, Wang Zhi pressed his knees with his hands and his eyes were as bright as a torch: "I will lift the road construction mission of the First and Fourth Army. After receiving horses and supplies, each road construction unit should restore combat capabilities as soon as possible, and use all possible conditions to assemble to Chelyabinsk. The Front Command will provide support at any cost."

"At the same time, the troops that can be assembled before the General Attack Day - now counting in total, the 7th Division Fourth Brigade and two detachments will launch a full-line attack on the enemy on schedule. This attack is not intended to break through the enemy's defense line. Commanders of each department should take the basic policy of saving troops and mobilizing the enemy as much as possible, bluffing as possible, and attacking more points, so that the enemy is under pressure and seeking help everywhere, so as to achieve the goal of nailing the entire enemy's front to the front line."

"This attack, depending on the development of friendly forces' combat conditions, it is not ruled out that the possibility of developing into trench warfare and positional warfare is not ruled out. The commanders of each army should be quite mentally prepared, and should maintain full flexibility in the use of military forces, pay attention to giving full play to the initiative of grassroots officers and soldiers, and avoid being too ambitious and unrealistic."

"As for the combat outline, the Chief of Staff of the Front Army and the Chief of Staff of the Army will be finalized later - what are the questions you have?"

Xu Hun raised his hand.

"Commander, what is the task of the first pack?"

Wang Zhi glanced at him and said, "No mission."

Xu Hun was anxious: "No mission? Impossible!"

Wang Zhi had already stood up: "Take me the team you can still use on your hand, and go back to Kurgan to gather the troops, that's it."

"That's it?" Xu Hun asked in a blink of an eye.

"That's it, the meeting will be over."

Wang Zhi patted the table cleanly and turned around and was about to leave.

Xu Hun refused to give up: "Commander, give me a thousand trucks, and I promise to bring the First Division of the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards Cavalry Army here within five days!"

Wang Zhi paused for a moment and waved his hand back: "No need."

"Why?"

"Your battlefield is not here, train the troops well. What I want you to break through is not the Ural Mountains, but the Volga River."
