In the face of a confrontation and a life-and-death battle between two countries, the most terrible thing is to make strategic mistakes. Once the strategy is misjudged, the consequences will be terrible, and even one step, one step, and one step will be wrong, and in the end, everything will be lost.
Now Moscow's top leaders are in such an embarrassing position. They have put their main force in the Far East, but the Chinese have launched an attack in Central Asia.
The Russians had received similar intelligence before, saying that China was increasing its troops in Xinjiang, but Moscow did not believe it at all. The Chinese held large-scale military parades, bombed the Far East, and made frequent promises to the Far East. Obviously,
China wants to focus on the Far East, not other regions.
Until the Chinese army crossed the Alashan Pass and invaded Akdoka, the Russians still suspected that China was just feinting. But then the Chinese army moved south along Lake Balkhash and headed straight into the hinterland of Central Asia. Moscow's top brass finally came to their senses.
The main location of the Chinese attack is Central Asia. All the previous actions were just a performance, just to confuse themselves.
Once they discovered that they had been deceived, the top brass in Moscow were very angry. They all knew that Central Asia was the area where Russia's control was weakest. Once the Chinese army entered, the consequences would be disastrous.
Comrade Iron and Steel also felt an unprecedented crisis. Compared with history, Comrade Iron and Steel's power is still expanding rapidly. However, due to the First World War in the Far East, his close confidants Budyonny's generals were severely damaged, making the power in his army
It is a principle that has been true since ancient times when a country is greatly weakened and political power emerges from the barrel of a gun.
The military power has been weakened, and Stalin is still some distance away from the supreme power. Trotsky and others still have considerable power to speak. This stirring up of the situation in the Far East was largely instigated by Trotsky.
Trotsky hoped that through foreign war, he could regroup the morale of the left and strengthen everyone's revolutionary belief. Moreover, taking back the Far East would also play an important role in exporting the revolution. Therefore, after careful weighing, Trotsky
Just made such a risky move.
But the start was not smooth, and now Trotsky's situation is even more difficult than that of steel. The top brass in Moscow sat together, all with sinking faces, and no one was willing to say a word.
After five minutes of silence, everyone's eyes fell on Trotsky. Stalin also said: "Comrade Trotsky, what measures do you think the Chinese will take next?"
"I think they have two options." Trotsky also said: "The first is to capture the coastal areas of Lake Balkhash, then go north to attack Karaganda and Astana. Then further threaten Omsk, as the Siberian Railway
Once Omsk is threatened, the Far East Army will be in danger of destruction."
"If it was so dangerous, why didn't we notice it when the battle plan was proposed? Instead, we waited until the Chinese launched an attack before speaking out. Is this a responsible attitude?"
Facing Stalin's question, Trotsky could only lower his head. He had indeed made a mistake on this issue. He could only remain silent for a while, and then said: "This route is unlikely. It takes eight miles to penetrate into the Soviet Union."
More than 100 kilometers away, the Chinese simply do not have this capability. I think they are more likely to choose the second option, which is to bypass Lake Balkhash and go south to attack Almaty and Bishkek. The Chinese have repeatedly claimed,
This is China’s former territory and it must be taken back from us.”
After Stalin and others listened, they were noncommittal. At this moment, the official in charge of intelligence suddenly ran in in a panic and sent the latest intelligence.
Stalin took it and took one look at it, and immediately became furious and furious. The Chinese government had just announced a list of canonizations, and a total of twelve Central Asian princes had been canonized. China encouraged them to stand up and build a country belonging to Central Asia.
People's independent and self-governing state.
China has turned the Russian rule into a complete colonial state. They have deprived the people of Central Asia of their land, wealth, and even their lives. The people of Central Asia have reached a critical moment of life and death. China and the entire world will help you.
Of course, the help is not just verbal. China's used arms have found a market again. They were all half-sold and half-gifted and handed over to these princes. Moreover, China also instructed Junaid Khan to publish a fatal decree, which is the so-called
Property law.
The reason why people in Central Asia are opposed to Russia is very simple. It is that they brutally implemented agricultural collectivization, forcibly deprived the people of their wealth, and adopted a brutal elimination policy against the rich peasants.
China took the right measures and enacted a property rights law, promising to protect private property and make it sacred and inviolable. It printed leaflets in various languages and used airplanes to spread them to various places. At the same time, it also set up radio stations, and invisible radio waves transmitted Chinese
The sound spread.
The war is not just a battle on the front line, but also a battle for the hearts and minds of the people. Especially in Central Asia, where Russia's traditional power is not strong, there is a lot of resentment among the people, and they have long been looking forward to driving away Russia. In addition,
The encouragement of property rights laws gave all the rich farmers in Central Asia the hope of maintaining a prosperous life.
A bucket of oil was poured into the fire, and Central Asia was boiling. The most annoying thing was that the Chinese planes not only dropped leaflets, but also dropped guns. The people in Central Asia are already fierce. When they saw the leaflets, they grabbed the guns and started shooting.
Small teams were organized to resist Russia.
Coupled with the former Basmachi, the prince's followers, a wave of resistance swept across Central Asia. The Russian government seat, military camps, warehouses, roads, and railways were all harassed. Russia's military campaign against Central Asia
Control dropped to zero almost immediately.
Only a few Russian troops in cities are still struggling to hold on. They are like isolated islands in the sea, which may be swallowed up at any time. The top Russian officials are aware of the situation in Central Asia, and they also know that the situation is not good.
.
The top Russian officials were simply frightened three times a day, so they could only increase the intensity of recruiting troops. However, it takes time to mobilize troops, and it also takes time to raise supplies. Obviously, time is not on Russia's side.
Just as they were scrambling to make adjustments, bad news came out again. Zarek was attacked by an air strike!
Upon hearing the news, Stalin immediately slammed the table and almost yelled at Trotsky for being stupid. Zarek is the southern gateway to Karaganda, and Karaganda is the barrier to Astana. The Chinese army attacked here.
It was obvious that he had chosen the way north, and his target was Astana or even Omsk.
Trotsky also felt a blush. There was no doubt that he was wrong again. The Chinese were bolder than imagined. They dared to go deep into Russia alone and attack the Russian hinterland. They simply did not take Russia seriously.
"Comrade Stalin, I am willing to personally lead the troops to fight. I will defend Astana to the death and never let the Chinese army come in." Trotsky, who was furious and angry, said loudly. He was ready to go into battle naked and fight with the Chinese side. Don't
I thought Trotsky was a scholar.
This guy's military talents are also quite powerful. He is known as the founder of the Russian army. He crawled through the trenches with the soldiers and fought to the death with the White Army. He is also a veteran soldier who has experienced many enemies.
Stalin frowned slightly. Trotsky couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go out in person. This was a good thing and a bad thing. Letting him control the military would definitely be detrimental to Stalin, especially after winning the war, it would be a big threat.
, but what if...
Thinking of this, Stalin said calmly: "Comrade Trotsky, the war situation is very dangerous. You must have a strong commander to reverse the situation. I think it is absolutely right for you to step forward. Not only must you defeat China militarily,
People must also stabilize the situation in Central Asia and resolutely combat the momentum of those feudal princes."
The Russians are rapidly adjusting their deployment, but although their speed is fast, they cannot be faster than the Chinese side. They have entered the mechanization era, and the attack speed of the Central Asian Front Army led by the Guards Division is far beyond the imagination of the Russians.
The army surged all the way, as if entering an uninhabited land. From the beginning of the war to the present, they captured Akdoka in less than two days, Balkhash on the fifth day, and Agadir and Zarek on the tenth day.
.
They rushed over 400 kilometers in ten days. Almost every moment, the Supreme Command was asking where they had rushed and where they had arrived!
China itself can't believe the progress of the armored forces. This is not a war, it is simply an armed attack. The attacks are far smoother than imagined. It seems that the only thing that can stop the tank troops is oil, and the only thing that can stop it is no oil.
Only then can these guys stop and take a rest.
In fact, this is also true. The surge of armored troops must have sufficient logistical support. Since the war started, the logistics troops have been under the greatest pressure. In order to ensure the supply of the front line, the reclamation corps in Xinjiang and other places have been completely mobilized, and manpower has been transferred from their hands.
Animal power.
A special convoy was formed to transport supplies. After leaving the country, local laborers from Central Asia were recruited to assist in transportation. Out of disgust for the Soviet Union, people in Central Asia even offered help.
A total of more than 300,000 civilians were mobilized along the entire transportation line, as well as more than a thousand vehicles and tens of thousands of mules and horses. However, the attack speed of the armored troops was still beyond imagination, so that the logistics troops were always left behind.
To the back.
Tank soldiers often have to stop and wait for fuel, which makes the soldiers very distressed. This is the case for Huang Xiansheng. His troops have rushed to a place only thirty kilometers away from Karaganda. The troops once again had to stop due to lack of fuel.
The strong winds in Central Asia in the past few days have caused many soldiers to suffer a lot. Their lips were cracked and their clothes and hair were filled with yellow sand. Finally, they were able to take a rest. Everyone also took the time to eat something and regain their strength.
At this moment, a large number of planes suddenly appeared in the distance and rushed towards us quickly.
"Are our bombers on the move again?"
"No, Zarek's temporary airport is still under repair..."
Before the staff officer finished speaking, Huang Xiansheng immediately shouted: "Quick, the enemy is attacking from the air, disperse quickly!"
