Chapter 218: Autumn of the Decisive Battle? Three

"Your Highness, please look here. This green strip that starts from the Arctic Ocean in the north and reaches the Kazakh grassland in the south and extends for more than 2,000 kilometers is the Ural Mountains that separates Eurasia. Look here again, this blue line that starts from the southeast slope of the Ural Mountains and winds more than 2,000 kilometers into the Caspian Sea also separates Eurasia's Ural River..."

"I know all of these, just talk about the key points."

In the center of a room divided by prefabricated boards, there is a huge sand table with high and low undulating heights in the Seung-Chen Hall of Xinhua Palace.

Around the sand table, more than a dozen girls in short knee-length uniforms were bent down in groups of three or three, and placed various signs on the sand table with special clamping rods.

On the side of the sand table, the Regent Liu Ping, wearing the uniform of the Grand Marshal and holding a saber in both hands, had just interrupted the introduction of Chief of Staff Liang Tianhe impatiently.

Liang Tianhe tilted his head and continued to say, "From the mouth of the Ural River, heading south along the east coast of the Caspian Sea, to the Port of Enzeli on the south coast of the Caspian Sea, there is another 1,000 kilometers of coast - no, strictly speaking, it is the lake shoreline."

"The above three sections are the Eurasian fronts where the enemy and us are temporarily stalemate, and the total is about 6,000 kilometers."

Liu Ping frowned, but did not pursue the matter, allowing Liang Tianhe to hold the folder and read the script.

"To the east of this front, including the three fronts of the Eastern European War Zone, Central Asia and Caspian Sea, and the two garrison areas of Siberia and Central Asia, our army has deployed a total of 53 infantry divisions, nineteen armored brigades, thirty-two cavalry brigades, and sixty-eight aviation squadrons, plus direct subordinates at all levels, and subordinate troops. According to the normal organization, there should be 1.5 million people, 4,800 cannons, 2,000 chariots and 700 aircraft. In fact, there are many shortages, and the number of personnel in the organization shall not exceed 1.35 million."

"Among them, there are a total of forty-two infantry divisions, twenty-nine cavalry brigades, and all armored and aviation troops. As of the day before yesterday, September 11, there were actually 1,050,000 troops, 3,300 cannons, 800 chariots and 550 aircraft."

"The main transportation line to maintain this army is two single-line railways with a mileage of two or three thousand kilometers. There is another two or three thousand kilometers of railway mileage between the domestic military industrial center and the transfer stations of these two railways."

Liang Tianhe thought of this, put down the folder and gestured with his hands and emphasized: "For example, a box of shells produced from the Tianjin Machinery Bureau of Beiyang Heavy Industry will cross almost the entire Asia after being loaded into the train wand, traveling 5,000 or 6,000 kilometers. He has to stop from time to time, add coal and water to the front of the train, and avoid returning trains. Waiting for the temporary maintenance of rails, bridges, and culverts, and other delays caused by miscellaneous reasons, it often takes one week to half a month to reach the temporary terminal station, which is hundreds of kilometers away from the front line."

"If you are lucky, if you pile the shells in the station freight yard for ten or half a month, you can load a lightweight train for mines, a truck that is about to be scrapped, or a horse-drawn flatbed truck. It takes another two or three days, sometimes even a whole week, before it will finally be delivered to the front line."

"Besides, Siberia and Central Asia were already sparsely populated, and the combined population of the two places was no more than 15 million before the war. Due to the harsh environment and difficulty in development, the output of various military supplies was very limited. In addition, the Russian army's policy of clearing the fields after the war seriously damaged the local industrial and agricultural production, and brought great difficulties to the on-site collection of our army, using war to support the war. Correspondingly, it increased the pressure on our army's transportation line-

"Take the rations of officers and soldiers as an example, more than 70% of them need to be transported from the country, while less than half of the grains and beans in the feed of military horses can usually be solved on the spot..."

When Liu Ping heard this, his eyes flashed quickly and quickly from the breasts of the uniformed girls called "Pigraphers" opposite. At the same time, a philosophical seriousness was pieced together on his face, which interrupted Liang Tianhe again: "Enough, I have heard of these, let's talk about the situation on the Russian side."

Liang Tianhe narrowed his eyes. Perhaps he had said it almost as soon as possible, or perhaps he couldn't bear to continue teasing the regent's patience. In short, while nodding, he grabbed a thin bamboo pole that was more than one person long and waved it hard on the huge sand table that could accommodate a hundred people to have dinner together.

"To the west of the front, the Russian army deployed three fronts, Urals, Volga and Caucasus. It is estimated that there are 32 to 35 infantry divisions, eight to ten cavalry divisions, and three to five armored brigades. According to the normal organization, there should be 80 to 900,000 people, more than 2,000 cannons, more than 200 chariots, and more than 200 aircraft."

"The Russian army's main transportation lines include multiple horizontal and vertical railways, as well as the inland shipping system of the Volga River and Don River Basin linked by canals. Its main military bases and ports receiving foreign aid have a railway mileage to the front line of only one or two thousand kilometers. The train can directly connect to the front line. Theoretically, the efficiency of reinforcements and supplies should be far better than our army."

"Besides, the population along these railways is much denser than Siberia and Central Asia, the economy is more developed, and industrial and agricultural production has not yet been directly damaged by the war, which is conducive to the collection of people, food and grass nearby..."

Liu Ping lifted up the saber, and the top of the scabbard wrapped in gold and silver inserts blew crisply on the polished smooth marble floor.

"In short, our army is powerful, but the transportation is difficult, and the food and ammunition is not good. The Russian army is weak, but the transportation is convenient, so it is easier to supplement."

Liang Tianhe glanced at the complacent Regent beside him with a glance, breathed a long sigh, threw the thin bamboo pole in his hand to the followers behind him, and praised politely: "Your Highness's summary is refined and appropriate, and the old minister admires it."

Before Liu Ping could react, Liang Tianhe suddenly changed his tone: "It is precisely because of this that our army must drive the enemy in front of the face of the dangerous mountains and rivers to the Eastern European plains, which are safer and more abundant, before Russia recovers its vitality. This will not only facilitate the advantages of our army's armored mobile troops, but also facilitate the collection of manpower and material resources on the spot to reduce the logistical pressure brought by the long transportation lines."

"Of course, the ideal result is to annihilate the heavy army group in front of him, and achieve an overwhelming victory in the entire Sino-Russian front. Then, together with the German army advancing east, attack the main Russian army on the German-Russian front, forcing Russia to surrender, and break the strategic division of the Allies against the Sino-German alliance. This will make the Chinese and German armies invincible."

Liu Ping knew that he had been surrounded again, and was designed by the middle-aged and elderly patient with prostatitis in front of him, but he was too lazy to make meaningless theories. He just sneered and emphasized: "Listen to Chief Liang's words, this 'the most ideal result' is not easy to achieve."

"After listening to my next introduction, your highness knows that it will not be easy to achieve."

Liang Tianhe was too lazy to be serious with him. He stretched out his hand and took the long bamboo pole that was polished. This time he controlled it with both hands and set off the posture of waving the Qinglong Yanyue Sword on the stage. Although his posture was a little indecent, it was no longer so laborious.

As the girls with short skirts covered their faces and smiled secretly, Liang Tianhe's bamboo pole swept over the sand tray and once again guided them from north to south.

"This is how the combat deployment of the entire Eastern European war zone is—"

At the northern end of the front, six infantry divisions and six cavalry brigades of the 1st Army under the Northern Front, with more than 100 chariots and more than 70 aircraft. From the south and east directions, the Russian North Ural Group entrenched in Yekaterinburg, Tyumen and Tobolsk areas were launched. The goal was to seize Yekaterinburg and wait for an opportunity to cross the mountain pass west of Yekaterinburg and break into Perm, Izhevsk and Kazan in the upper reaches of the Volga River, thereby attracting and restraining the Russian reserve team in Moscow.

In the northern front, the Northern Front Army had twelve infantry divisions and three cavalry brigades of the 3rd and 4th Army, with more than 40 chariots and more than 40 aircraft. It launched a frontal attack on the main force of the Russian Ural Front, which was entrenched between Chelyabinsk and Ufa. The goal was to firmly restrain this Russian heavy army group so that it could not reinforce or retreat in other directions.

Central front: First, six infantry divisions and three cavalry brigades of the 2nd Army under the Central Asian Front to contain the enemy in the front and east of Orenburg; second, six infantry divisions and three cavalry brigades of the 5th Army, with 250 chariots belonging to the 2nd Armored Army, crossed the Ural River from Krasnoholm, fifty kilometers west of Orenburg, and made an attitude of interspersing into the Calgara Perevolotsky area behind Orenburg, attracting the Russian reserve team and consuming it.

Finally, the 1st Armored Army, which was concentrated with 400 chariots, was equipped with two infantry divisions and nine cavalry brigades, crossing the river from Ilek, 120 kilometers west of Orenburg, and with the support of airborne troops and airdrop supplies, it detoured to the Sorochinsk area located deep behind Orenburg. After cutting off the main traffic line from Orenburg to Samara, the unit turned to attack the Russian army in Orenburg from behind, and worked closely with friendly forces that were restrained on the front, striving to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Russian Volga Front.

In the south of the front, four infantry divisions and cavalry brigades under the Caspian Front were under the eastern coast cluster, covering the left wing of the Central Asian Front, restraining the Russian troops from Uralsk to Astrakhan, and cooperating with the Navy's Caspian task force to prevent the infiltration and damage of the Russian rangers on the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea.

At the southern end of the front, four infantry divisions, one armored brigade and three cavalry brigades under the Caspian Front, sweep the Russian army on the southern coast of the Caspian Sea, support the pro-China forces in northern Persia, and wait for an opportunity to occupy the Transcaucasus region with the support of the Caspian task force and the Turkish National Army, seize the Baku oil field...

Liang Tianhe introduced this and looked like he was tight in his bladder: "This is the basic situation. I will go and make some more convenient first, and come back later to answer your highness's questions."

Unexpectedly, Liu Ping raised his saber with one hand, turned his face and smiled slightly: "I have no problem."

A quarter of an hour later, in a rare corner of Seung-Han Hall, a small cubicle with a closed door panel, wild and unbearable moans came vaguely.
