Chapter 55: Ten-year army building plan? Or fifteen years?
"Stalin, who was determined to cut off his wrists, is really not that easy to deal with." Fang Jianxiong, holding the real battle report in his hand, was somewhat regretful that he could not kill the bearded man. It was a disappointing result. Looking at the historical process, Stalin was really
What an awesome, messed-up guy, he's also quite shameless and has a dark heart and a thick skin!
Historically, the Soviet army marched into the Northeast to eliminate the Kwantung Army. Although they did not stay in the Northeast for a long time, they did many bad things. The three northeastern provinces were stripped of a layer of land, and the essence of Lao Maozi's great-power chauvinism was fully revealed.
The results of this battle were not small. Less than 200,000 Soviet troops fled back to Petropavlovsk, and all heavy weapons were lost. The Soviet army suffered unprecedented heavy losses. The key to achieving this result was not the heroic fighting of the volunteers.
, but air superiority. In fact, the Soviet army arrived in Hubei
By the time of the Bi River, ammunition supplies were already in a very dangerous state. The reason was naturally that under the special geographical environment of Siberia, the railways were constantly bombed, resulting in poor transportation. During the march of the Soviet army, their baggage was even more damaged.
It was taken care of by the Air Force.
The biggest feature of modern warfare is the huge amount of logistics consumption. The better the equipment, the greater the logistics pressure. The Soviet army has no air supremacy, so it can only be bombed. The special geographical environment of Siberia makes road transportation extremely difficult. From another perspective
, Frunze was overconfident before the war, seriously underestimated the difficulties, and had no understanding of the combat effectiveness of the air force.
Objectively speaking, this is a special case and does not accurately reflect the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army.
After a long pursuit to Omsk, the Volunteer Army entered the city without firing a shot. This was the result of the Soviet army's active retreat, and it was also the low point of the Volunteer Army's vigor. Qi Zhenghong was still very calm and had no intention of continuing the pursuit, but ordered the coalition forces
Organize defense on the spot. After telegraphing the results of the battle to the country, Qi Zhenghong asked the troops to summarize their combat experience and report it to the Military Commission.
The entire campaign lasted for thirty-three days. The Volunteer Army lost 22 aircraft and four pilots. The ground troops suffered 20,000 casualties, including more than 8,000 killed. During the entire campaign, the Air Force exerted great power, whether it was bombing to delay the Soviet advance.
, or strangled the Soviet logistics supply line, and the later pursuit was even more powerful.
Of course, the consumption of the Air Force is also huge. If they had not made sufficient preparations in advance and stored a large amount of supplies in Irkutsk, the Volunteer Army would still have been in a logistical situation after this battle.
In fact, when they reached Omsk, the leading troops of the Volunteer Army did not have many bullets in their guns, and their artillery was abandoned hundreds of kilometers away. The reason is very simple. They ran out of artillery shells. In order to pursue the Soviet army at full speed,
The vanguard even abandoned dry food. It will take time to repair the damaged Siberian Railway, and weapons such as heavy artillery are still 500 kilometers away.
This is a very real problem. In his summary report, Qi Zhenghong emphasized logistics rather than the results. During the pursuit, the main means of transportation for the volunteers for the last two hundred kilometers was bicycles.
Another focus of the summary report is the tenacity of the Soviet army. The troops behind them often have extremely tenacious fighting will. The closer they get to Omsk, the more tenacious their fighting will becomes. Because of this, the entire pursuit took 15 days. After the pursuit, they entered
Omsk, what I saw was an empty city, and all the Soviet army's material warehouses were burned to the ground.
The Soviet army may not be popular with the people of Omsk, and the treatment of the Belarusian army is not much better.
The knock on the door interrupted Fang Jianxiong's contemplation. He raised his head and glanced at Alice who quietly opened the door and came in.
"That Russian Joffe is here again. This is the twenty-fifth time he has asked for an audience this month." When Alice talked about this, she somewhat sympathized with the Soviet man and admired his firm will.
"Let him go back, just say now is not the time to see him." Fang Jianxiong shook his head. Alice smiled helplessly, and did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she came forward to make a cup of tea for Fang Jianxiong, and then said:
"Boeing's representatives have arrived in Beijing. When will they be free to meet with him?"
"Well, I want to meet. You can arrange it. It can be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Fang Jianxiong smiled and patted Alice's buttocks. The girl twisted her waist in cooperation and gave her a flirtatious look. Fang Jianxiong
Suppressing his thoughts of rectifying the law on the spot, he picked up the phone and dialed Jiang Fangzhen's office: "Baili, I read the ten-year plan for the National Defense Forces that you and Runong made. It's very good. Let's have a meeting sometime.
Let’s discuss it and call Songpo and Runnong.”
Jiang Fangzhen said with a smile on the phone: "Don't look for time. Songpo and Runnong happen to be here right now. Let's go there now." After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Fang Jianxiong to agree to be there. Fang Jianxiong took the phone and spoke.
With a wry smile on his face, this Jiang Baili.
This ten-year plan for the National Defense Force was an accidental opportunity. Fang Jianxiong mentioned some of his summaries of the European wars and some ideas for building the National Defense Force based on the actual domestic situation. He also proposed that the next war must be fought by the entire nation.
From this view, the theory that national politics serves the survival of the nation is derived. These sketchy theories come from the book Total War that I vaguely remember. It is actually a very vague concept, but after Jiang Fangzhen heard about it,
He immediately took it to heart, and together with Zhang Xiaohuai, he came up with a ten-year construction plan for the National Defense Forces.
Fortunately, Fang Jianxiong did not pervertly remember the book on Total War that he read casually, otherwise he would have directly plagiarized it. Even so, it opened a window for two military talents, Jiang Fangzhen and Zhang Xiaohuai. Especially those who were affected by the European War and Siberia
Due to the impact of the battle, Jiang Fangzhen keenly proposed the new tactical idea of integrating air and ground.
A good person is a good person. In terms of summarizing and exploring military theories, Jiang Fangzhen can surpass Fang by several blocks. Zhang Xiaohuai, who is in charge of army construction, is not a vegetarian. The two of them work together, plus Cai E, who has rich practical experience.
It constitutes the three pillars of the National Defense Force. Of course, Mr. Fang is undoubtedly the spiritual leader of the National Defense Force, and this is irreplaceable.
Jiang Fangzhen and the other three arrived quickly, pushing the door open in less than ten minutes. Fang Jianxiong happened to be processing a document. Seeing the three people arriving with excited faces, he couldn't help but put down his work with a wry smile.
.
"I asked you three, why are you so anxious about something? This is a ten-year plan, not something that can be done overnight."
"Fuguo, the three of us have discussed it several times in the past few days, and we all agree that the conclusion you drew based on the European war has huge derivative value. We all agree that the next world war will be larger in scale and may last longer.
"Chang." Jiang Fangzhen expressed his opinion before sitting down. Cai E nodded and agreed: "Bai Li is right. The most profound thing that the European war taught me is that the huge industrial capabilities of the European powers directly led to changes in the mode of war.
Judging from the fact that hundreds of German companies are willing to cooperate with China, the Germans will definitely seek to rearm in the next ten years. The Treaty of Versailles brought too much humiliation to the Germans, and the Germans are seeking a solution from top to bottom.
To avenge our shame, it won’t be long before the next world war breaks out. We must prepare early.”
"Fuguo, I have a report on last year's military production here. You should have seen it. According to the current military production capacity, it can meet the equipment of up to ten infantry divisions every year. Based on the consumption rate of the European war, it is assumed that the war breaks out in 40
By 2020, at least equipment that can equip 200 infantry divisions must be stockpiled. Otherwise, in the early stages of the war, it will be impossible to achieve the goal of mobilizing a total strength of 5 million troops within half a year. In other words,
, the next ten-year plan is based on this goal. Now it seems that our military production capacity is far from meeting this standard. From this we can draw a conclusion that the government must tilt its policy towards heavy industry." Zhang Xiaohuai
Speaking directly from the data, the dissatisfaction with the current situation of the military industry is obvious and not polite at all. It is a subtle hint that the arguments of some politicians now clamoring for huge military expenditures are bullshit.
"We started preparing for the Siberian Campaign half a year in advance. However, judging from the results, including the air force and armored forces, the number of volunteers was less than 200,000. However, after reaching Omsk, the supplies of the volunteers could not keep up at all. Among them,
Although there were equipment and supplies for Kolchak, looking at the entire battle process, only the Air Force was involved in high-intensity battles.
The problem is that in this battle, the Air Force consumed the ammunition and fuel stored in Irkutsk for half a year. There is nothing wrong with the Air Force's thinking, but the problems that arise must attract our attention. As
Decision-makers, we must prepare for the worst." Jiang Fangzhen added another punch, and Fang Jianxiong didn't even have a chance to interrupt.
It can be seen that during this period, these three people received a huge impact from the Siberian Campaign. Half a million Soviet troops came in forcefully, but they were defeated quickly. What was the reason?
"Okay, three brothers, can you come up with a conclusion?" Fang Jianxiong was not dissatisfied at all, but was secretly happy in his heart. Although he is a time traveler and has the halo of the protagonist above his head, when it comes to actual operation ability, these three talents
It's a big cow.
Jiang Fangzhen took a step forward and said with a smile: "Fuguo, I think the National Defense Force's army building plan should be set in fifteen years. Among them, the existing reorganization plan of one hundred infantry divisions should be made some adjustments."
Fang Jianxiong made a continuing gesture and said: "Sit down and talk. It seems that the three of you have a clear idea."
The three of them took their seats, and Jiang Fangzhen, as the representative, said: "Fuguo, first of all, we believe that a hundred divisions do not need to be full at all. An infantry division with 30% of its full strength is enough. The other half of the division is enough to have a stand.
But there is one thing. Officers and non-commissioned officers must be in two teams. In other words, one is a full-time officer and there are several more
Deputies, once a war breaks out, these deputies will be the officers of the new units after mobilization. The savings will be tilted toward technical arms. Air force, armored forces, communications, and chemical defense will all be the focus of development in the future. Technical arms will be affected by the advancement of technological development.
It has the greatest impact, so the fifteen-year plan is the most appropriate."
