Eighty kilometers south of Orenburg, in the small courtyard where the Central Asian Front Command of the Chinese Army is located, the new commander General Xiao Lieri, passed through a human corridor composed of more than a dozen generals and officers under the escort of two guards holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. Her leather boots pedaled on the brand new pine floor with strong leather boots and stepped into the second-floor conference room. She looked very confident and determined to win.

At the end of the long table in the middle of the conference room, a chair of the grand sage was already placed in a red sandalwood. It is said that it was presented by Prime Minister Yang Zhengjin, and the plane was specially arranged to be transported here.

Xiao Lieri took off his military cap and handed it to the orderly soldier. He stood proudly in front of the chair. After the orderly soldier moved the chair forward, he then sat down with his head held high. The two guards, who were over 1.8 meters tall, stood upright behind him, one with a knife on his left and one right, as if two statues brought out of Guan Gong Temple - but the Western military uniforms on their bodies were too inconsistent.

The generals and schools then entered one after another, took off their hats and stood firm on both sides of the long table. Many of them cast surprised eyes at the two Qinglong Yanyue Swords that were usually only on the stage.

Xiao Lieri shouted and said, "Sit down", and everyone just put their hats on their seats.

Xiao Lieri didn't care about other people's strange eyes and said straight to the point: "This 'Anxi' battle is related to the survival of the base camp's overall strategy. It is only allowed to succeed, not fail."

"This front army is responsible for breaking into the enemy's backbone and encircling and annihilation of the two major Russian fronts on the Ural front. We must unite and devote ourselves to our efforts to defeat the enemy, live up to the holy grace, and be worthy of the people."

After successfully reciting this opening remark written for him by General Hu Jinghou, the chief of staff of the Front Army, Xiao Lieri breathed a sigh of relief, turned his eyes to a burly general with a wide face and square forehead on the right side of the long table, and began to speak casually: "Commander Xu, this battle, your first round is the decisive sword of our Front Army. It depends on yours to detour behind the enemy and cut off the enemy's retreat. Let's talk about yours first round first, how is the preparation for the first round?"

The first name of Xiao Lieri was General Xu Hun, the commander of the First Armored Army, who made great achievements in the battles conquering Siberia.

A month ago, according to the plan of Marshal Wang Zhi, the commander of the theater commander, "moving north and realizing the Central China", Xu Hun led the main force of the 1st Armored Army to move to Central Asia. Since the 2nd Armored Army, which was originally relied on by the Central Asian Front, suffered heavy losses in the "Bear Slaughter" battle at the end of June, and has not yet recovered its vitality. The 1st Armored Army, which arrived as a new force, naturally became the most powerful "ace" in Xiao Lieri's hands.

Tang sword with a gold-plated shark-skin sheath on his waist, and Xu Hun, who was so heroic between his eyebrows, heard the commander's name and was about to stand up to answer. Seeing Xiao Lieri raise his hand and press down, indicating that he didn't have to get up, he bowed his head deeply in the seat: "Thank you, Commander, then the official will report it truthfully."

"Since the beginning of spring, our army has been ordered to dismantle the various divisions, concentrate all available vehicles, and organize several special armored groups, and continue to advance westward. Due to the rapid advancement speed, poor traffic conditions, serious vehicle losses, and extremely difficult to repair and replenish, the strength of each armored group has dropped rapidly. On the eve of the "Bear Slaughter" operation, the army has only more than a hundred chariots available on the front line, and can only be organized into a mixed armored brigade to support the northern front army's restraining attack on the enemy's central defense line of Ural Mountain."

Speaking of this, Xu Hun raised his head and smiled: "However, the lower officials did not actually participate in this battle."

"It doesn't make sense to command a piece of mixed brigade."

Not only did Xiao Lieri not be attracted by Xu Hun's suspense, but instead put him on the shelves. He expressed his understanding, which made Xu Hun feel a little touched that he hadn't been long-lost in addition to his slight frustration.

"Before the war began, the subordinates drove to Novosibirsk under the order of Commander Wang. They gathered their subordinates along the way, reorganized the system, and asked the two armored troops to return the system before the establishment of the Eastern European War Zone. Then they led their troops to the Central Asian front line without stopping, and finally welcomed Commander Xiao here."

Xu Hun nodded to Xiao Lieri, and looked at the battle map that covered the entire wall at the other end of the long table: "As of yesterday, September 12, the 1st and 3rd Armored Army, the Imperial Guard Cavalry Army, the 4th and 5th Cavalry Army, together with the directly affiliated Imperial Guard Division and the 19th Infantry Division, have completed assembly around Irek, 120 kilometers west of Orenburg."

"In addition, the 1st and 2nd Armored Cavalry Brigade of the Imperial Guards, the 1st and 2nd Armored Cavalry Brigades of the Imperial Guards, the 51st Heavy Carriage Battalion and other units, which are directly affiliated to our army, just completed the reorganization yesterday and have rushed to Irek overnight. It is expected that it will be deployed tomorrow."

"Due to the limited number of available vehicles, each armored unit cannot enter the battle with the permanent establishment of Chengxian five-year permanent establishment implemented last year, but instead adopted the Seungxian six-year temporary establishment specially approved by the General Staff: that is, each armored brigade uses a combat chariot battalion, a mobile infantry battalion and a mobile artillery battalion as the basis, and the Armored Cavalry Brigade uses an armored infantry battalion instead of a mobile infantry battalion, and uses an armored artillery battalion instead of a mobile artillery battalion."

According to the imperial armored soldiers issued that year, the so-called mobile infantry and mobile artillery are motorized troops with unprotected wheel trucks as vehicles, while armored infantry and armored artillery are mechanized troops with armored half-track or fully tracked vehicles as vehicles.

The same teaching example also stipulates that the mobile infantry battalion under the Armored Brigade should be equipped with an armored infantry company, and the mobile artillery battalion should be equipped with an armored artillery company to improve the tactical flexibility of the entire brigade.

In fact, due to the shortage of mechanized equipment, as of the middle of the year, less than half of the armored brigades of the entire army had equipped mechanized units specified in the teaching model. On the other hand, the two armored cavalry brigades organized to perform combat reconnaissance tasks occupied a lot of mechanized forces. According to the temporary organization, each armored cavalry brigade is equipped with mechanized equipment enough to meet the needs of three to four ordinary armored brigades.

This time, the Second Armored Army, which was responsible for the roundabout assault mission, received key care from the Front Army. Not only did the two armored cavalry brigades complete equipment according to the temporary organization, but all the armored transport vehicles and self-propelled artillery of the 1st Armored Army were transferred. Not only did the six armored brigades under the Second Armored Army be equipped with mechanized units according to the teaching model, the remaining troops were enough to form a mixed mechanized battalion directly under the army, with two armored infantry companies and two armored artillery companies, becoming a precious mobile reserve team in Xu Hun's hands.

"...In terms of tanks, each brigade chariot battalion is equipped with thirty-nine tanks, and the independent chariot battalion is equipped with 21 tanks. In addition, the brigade companies and brigade armored reconnaissance companies are equipped with more than 400 tanks currently available in the group army. The models are mainly the five-type "flying wolf" and the "flying wolf" of the few brigade chariots in the six-type "Iron Leopard" of the war are mainly equipped in three independent chariot battalions."

After introducing the organization and equipment, Xu Hun looked up at Xiao Lieri and carefully tentatively said: "The main problem that the group army currently has is still supply. Originally, the area where our group army launched an attack was far away from the main transportation lines of the front army. After the operation began, it would have to carry out large-scale, high-speed detour maneuvers in hilly areas that lack roads... I am worried that by then, the group army's truck convoy would be difficult to provide timely and effective supplies to the rapidly advancing mobile armored forces, which would delay the opportunity to fight."

When Xiao Lieri heard Xu Hun start to raise difficulties, he was a little unhappy. He picked up his fist on the table with both hands and responded with a straight face: "If this happens, I will order the aviation troops to do everything possible to carry out airdrop supplies - at the same time, you must give full play to your initiative and imagination, and try to get some supplies from the enemy to make up for the shortage of airdrops."

Xiao Lieri paused, and his expression suddenly became stern: "If you encounter bad weather, you really can't airdrop. No matter what method you use, I will let the troops continue to attack forward no matter what. Without my order, you are not allowed to stop in the middle!"

Seeing Xu Hun nodding quickly, Xiao Lieri glanced at the other generals on both sides of the long table, his eyes full of unquestionable momentum: "What I said just now is not only for Commander Xu, but also for all the commanders here and the commanders of your troops at all levels!"

After saying that, he turned his head and blinked at the two Qinglong Yanyue Swords behind him: "My ugly words from Xiao are ahead. Now I feel that there is a difficulty and can't be done. Get out of here immediately! When the battle begins, whoever wants to make an excuse to wince, just talk to Guan Gong Dadao behind me - do you understand?"

Faced with Xiao Lieri's naked threat, the generals did not dare to drag it off, and straightened their necks in unison, shouting: "I understand!"

Xiao Lieri's mouth was filled with a sneer that was not easy to detect, and his slightly proud look fell on the face of Zheng Hong, the newly promoted commander of the Second Army: "It's good to understand. Next, please ask Commander Zheng to report on the preparations for the Second Army."

...

"This is the 'Flying Dragon' ground attack attack aircraft recently issued to our Second Aviation Collection, referred to as the striking aircraft. The body, including the skin, is made of aluminum alloy, the cockpit is equipped with armored steel plates, the fuel tank is equipped with rubber self-sealing pads, the armed forces include two forward heading machine guns and a rear seat movable machine gun, and a total of eleven bomb hangers distributed under the belly and wings - it can carry up to a maximum of 150 kilograms of bombs. The hanger is equipped with adapter devices, and cluster grenades and mortar shells can also be mounted if necessary..."

On the outskirts of Soli Iretsk, next to a brand new rammed earth runway, an army aviation lieutenant general wearing a hirsky blue-edged blue hat was introducing a lieutenant colonel staff officer with a golden ear belt beside him, introducing the plane shining with dazzling silver light in front of them.
