spnThe small town of Ilov, which is nearly 200 kilometers away from Mosko, is a small town surrounded by mountains and located in the hinterland of a large jungle. Even if a huge fleet of aircraft wants to specifically look for it, it will be "lost" in the vastness.

in the forest.

Now, this is the secret "palace" of Comrade Stalin, the great Bolshevik leader and the wise leader of the Soviet Union's Patriotic War.

"Comrade Stalin, according to your instructions, a total of more than 600 E-5 and E-7 fighter jets have been secretly transferred to Central Asia and Siberia. A large number of advanced aircraft we have transferred will rush to the destination through multiple transfers in a short period of time.

The front line of the air battle with the Chinese people." Marshal Novikov, deputy people's commissar of defense of the Soviet Union and in charge of the air force, reported to Stalin this top-secret operation of secretly dispatching aircraft to other battlefields.

"Have the Germans discovered anything unusual about us?" Stalin asked anxiously.

"The Germans haven't discovered it yet. At present, we have pilots increase the frequency of take-off operations. We have also placed many wooden fake planes on the ground to 'confuse' the German reconnaissance." Marshal Novikov affirmed.

He said, "It is impossible for the Germans to discover our operation in a short period of time. The confidentiality of this operation is very high and it is impossible to leak the secret. Internally, the aircraft transferred away are all in the name of going to the rear for maintenance and upgrade. Germany

It will take at least several months for people to discover an abnormality."[

"Comrade Novikov, this is a deployment operation that may total more than 2,000 aircraft and last for several months or several years. Moreover, in order to fight against the advanced aircraft of the Chinese, these aircraft are all very advanced.

If your actions are leaked or the Americans refuse to help us, then we will face a disaster."

Marshal Novikov bent down slightly and said affirmatively, "Don't worry, Comrade Stalin, I can issue a military order. If this operation is 'revealed' early, or causes extremely bad consequences, I will 'suicide' to apologize."

If we only transfer 200 aircraft, the Americans are likely to be indifferent. However, if we transfer 2,000 aircraft that belong to or would have been allocated to the Moscow theater during the entire Siberian war, then they will definitely help us solve the problem.

No worries.

There is not much they can do, either to strengthen support for our troops on the eastern front or to vigorously strengthen the aviation fleet in the Far East, and directly engage in air combat with the [Chinese] people."

Of course Stalin knew the pros and cons of this matter, but he still did not forget to warn his air force commander, Marshal Novikov.

Seeing him swearing like this, Stalin smiled instead and said with approval, "Comrade Novikov, you are a comrade I trust very much. I believe your plan will succeed."

Su Yuren, chief of operations at the base camp, knocked on Zhang Shusheng's office door, followed by Wei Sancai, director of the Propaganda Department of the Republic.

"Chairman, the news of Kyaktu's victory has come back."

Su Yuren opened his black briefcase, pulled out a large photo and handed it to Zhang Shusheng. "Although we only captured more than 15,000 Soviet officers and soldiers and tens of thousands of armed civilians in Kyakhta City, Kyakhta

The battle can be regarded as this, Huo Qubing, a summary of the blitzkrieg offensive in Siberia. The Mongolian front army commanded by General Tao Qian fought well.

Moreover, congratulations to the Generalissimo. The war has just begun. We have an excellent war hero."

Zhang Shusheng took the photo, but couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. The photo was a close-up of a battlefield. A major, deputy battalion commander, and a small group of soldiers were there to be photographed. In the photo, to their right, was the clear figure of a Soviet general.

Close-up of epaulettes.

What made Zhang Shusheng laugh was not these prisoners of war, but the deputy battalion commander of the major in the field team who stretched out his right hand and made a v-shaped scissors motion with his right hand while the military reporters were taking pictures.

He still remembered that the first time he taught He An that kid to do this action was when he was taking a family photo twenty years ago. He didn't expect that this kid would perform meritorious service on the battlefield, and he would see that kid again, as if he was being released back to nature.

He An is as free and happy as a flying bird.

"Chairman, what standards should be adopted for Major He An's propaganda? Should it be particularly strengthened?" Wei Sancai came this time to deal with this war propaganda photo. As a country that had just fully joined World War II, on

Both the people and the army need some heroes to perform brilliantly at the beginning of the war.

By chance, He An captured useful details and captured so many senior Soviet officers in one fell swoop. He was very suitable to be molded into a role model for young military officers.

It was only because of his special status that Wei Sancai, the imperial propaganda minister, was a little unsure.

Zhang Shusheng smiled slightly, put down the photo, looked at him, and asked, "Sancai, how do you think we should handle it?"

Wei Sancai pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Chairman, whether it is for public or private reasons, I will actively promote such officers to become war heroes.

The Imperial Propaganda Department needs many such frontal war heroes, and I personally hope that he can become a war hero.[

Because the Chairman of the Generalissimo was able to send his brother-in-law to the front line of the war and obtain military exploits through his own fighting, which is the best propaganda case in itself."

"This matter can indeed be an excellent propaganda case." Minister of Operations Su Yuren also nodded and said. Thinking about it from another perspective, if he were in the position of chairman, he might also be able to send his relatives to the front line, but

Whether it is possible to send him to the front line of the war, he is not sure whether he can pass the test in his heart.

Zhang Shusheng was silent, took the signature pen, quickly made a short paragraph of instructions on the document issued under the photo, and then said, "I understand what you are thinking. In fact, I just took care of He An's going to the front line, and I didn't do anything about it.

Not counting how public and private I am.

As the chairman of the committee, I also understand that such a battlefield figure is of great help to the Baath Party and the image of the "government". And as his brother-in-law, I also like that he can obtain some through ladders other than his brother-in-law.

success.

For the time being, the propaganda should be limited to within the army. Let the Ministry of National Defense issue a commendation order and regularize his position as deputy battalion commander. For external propaganda, you can accumulate some information and wait until the right time to start.

The foal has just learned to run. If you put too many shackles on him, even caring and promoting him from a personal perspective will only harm him.

Also, as long as he doesn't reveal his identity, it should be kept secret within the army. Otherwise, I'm worried that the regimental commanders and division commanders will protect him from being the vanguard battalion commander to a civilian officer at the division or regiment headquarters.

Not what he wanted.

"Understood, Chairman." Wei Sancai and Su Yuren both nodded.

Zhang Shusheng said a few words to Wei Sancai again. Since only the Mongolian front army has the most violent offensive and the greatest results at present, there are more war heroes, which is also the temporary focus of the Propaganda Department. In the other two directions, the National Defense Forces only encountered,

The small Soviet army...

In front of a front army spearheaded by hundreds of thousands of troops and an entire armored group, except for the heavily guarded Siberia, the Soviet troops in other directions had not yet organized themselves when the [Central] troops broke into the country for more than 10 kilometers.

Large-scale army groups" are used in battles.

After Wei Sancai left, Zhang Shusheng and Su Yuren continued to talk about Huo Qubing's plan and the overall progress. "Chairman, the Far Eastern Front Army and the Central Asian Front Army are currently advancing smoothly. A total of about 100,000 Soviet troops have been eliminated, and the results are not great."

, for the time being, there has been no group army-level obstruction like the Mongolian Front Army. Most of these captured Soviet troops were chased and surrounded by armored units along the way. It is expected that before there is another move in the Mongolian-Siberian direction, neither front army will encounter

to a large-scale battle.

But according to our intelligence, in the Far East, the Soviet army has drawn troops from the already short combat troops against Japan and is expected to assemble a force of more than 500,000 people, while in Central Asia, there are also about 700,000 troops.

The Soviet troops are gathering."

Zhang Shusheng opened a few documents and then turned his attention back to Siberia. After all, in order to fight Germany and Japan, the Soviets did not have many remaining troops in Central Asia and the Far East, and most of them were on the second line, or even

Third Front Army. Most of the armies from these two places were sent to Europe, or joined in the war with the Japanese in the Far East.

The Soviets originally planned to concentrate their forces and jointly launch a large-scale winter offensive against the Japanese army with the US military for landing operations. However, as soon as the Huo Qubing plan of the [Chinese] ** team was launched, this combat plan to severely damage the Japanese army in the Far East had to be shelved.

But Siberia is different. Even when the strength of the Soviet Union is at its most tense, the Soviets still have a large number of group armies. As long as they can keep the Siberian Railway and the corridor that crosses the country from east to west, the Soviets still have a chance to face any enemy. Siberia not only has

A large amount of resources are still the backbone of the Soviet Union.

"A massive air battle?"

In the document, Zhang Shusheng saw the latest intelligence, which showed that in order to compete with the PLA troops for battlefield air supremacy, the Soviet army was expected to erupt in a large-scale air battle hundreds to a thousand kilometers away from Chinese territory.

.

"Yes, Chairman. The Soviets discovered during the Soviet-German war that when faced with an enemy that also had a fleet of large ship models and aircraft, victory could only be achieved by dispatching as many aircraft as possible at the same time. Small-scale air battles could not affect the strategic direction.

Therefore, in order to compete for air supremacy, facilitate the Siberian tank cluster war that may break out in the future, and defend against our follow-up attack, the Soviets are assembling a large number of aircraft.

According to the most secret intelligence, the Soviets not only concentrated most of the aircraft in Siberia and rushed to build more aircraft overnight, they even secretly transferred aircraft from the Soviet-German battlefield. A large number of aircraft were originally going to be sent to the Soviet-German battlefield.

New aircraft were secretly deployed to Central Asia and Siberia."

Su Yuren said with a serious expression that the Soviets dared to withdraw aircraft from the Soviet-German battlefield and even sent aircraft supporting Moscow back to Central Asia or Siberia, which is enough to show their understanding of the crisis of "subjugation of the country and genocide."

Zhang Shusheng tapped the pen in his hand gently on the document and frowned, "Stalin had a good plan. It seemed that he secretly deployed the aircraft on the Soviet-German battlefield, but in fact it was probably for the Americans to see.

So that the Americans know that they are now in danger of national subjugation, and even the planes over Moscow have to be diverted back to fight."[

Su Yuren nodded. The Soviets' tactics were not clever, but they were very effective. "Yes, Stalin's move killed two birds with one stone. The Americans will never sit back and watch the Soviet Union lose Moscow or more territory. I estimate that in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans,

, the American fleet transporting aircraft has probably set off under the protection of a powerful fleet."

"More than that, come and take a look."

Zhang Shusheng and Su Yuren walked to the big map. Zhang Shusheng slapped the location of Arkhangelsk and said, "Look, this is an important port for the Soviets in the north. This is the White Sea, and it's not even a thousand miles away from Moscow."

Kilometers of straight-line air travel.

The U.S. aircraft carrier fleet can take off a large number of warships and aircraft here, then turn around at the land airport and rush directly to the Moscow front line to participate in the air battle. Not to mention the support aircraft that the fleet may transport, just sending the fleet to this location can provide

The great help from the Soviets was enough to help mobilize part of the Soviet Air Force to deal with the Germans."

"It's very possible. Otherwise, if the air superiority over Moscow is lost, there may be the next Leningrad. Moreover, once Moscow is defeated again, the Soviet Union's determination to resist the war may even be shaken. This is something the Americans will never allow." Su Yuren nodded.

.

Zhang Shusheng secretly thought, of course. In addition to being strong, the Americans also dared to do things that other countries' militaries have never done. Aircraft carriers took off B million medium-range bombers, and even atomic bombed Japan. This shows that

, the U.S. military will do whatever it takes to achieve its combat goals.

In the previous life, even if the situation on the Soviet-German battlefield was not as critical as it is now, they did provide great support to the Soviets through the White Sea.

Su Yuren also frowned and said, "Chairman, it seems that we are likely to encounter a strong counterattack by the Soviet Air Force in Siberia."

Zhang Shusheng smiled and said, "Whether there will be a strong counterattack or not, I can't say yet. However, since everyone knows the importance of Siberia, I will ask the main force of the air force in the early stage at the beginning of Huo Qubing's plan to launch the first wave of air strikes.

, must make a secret transfer, and concentrate a considerable part of the entire planned air force in the direction of Mongolian Siberia, in order to gain control of the air as soon as possible and gain the initiative over Siberia.

I did not foresee that Stalin would dare to decisively and resolutely immediately deploy a fleet of aircraft to support Siberia, but he failed to do so."

Su Yuren: "In this way, Stalin tried his best to teach us a big lesson, thinking that this secret trick would make us fall into trouble. Does he really think that we don't know how to fight since we haven't had a large-scale air battle with the enemy?

Already."

"It's a mule or a horse, let's lead it out for a ride. This time the Soviets thought they had concentrated a superior fleet, but they unexpectedly encountered our elite fighter group in the north. We must give them a lesson in modern air combat.

It's not just the Soviets and Germans, it's Americans.

We will definitely do better than them because we have better aircraft, better equipment, and better pilots."
