Ulan-Ude, about 80 kilometers east of Lake Baikal, is where the frontline headquarters of Zhang Zizhong, commander of the Far East Military Region, is located. After the bloodshed, Zhang Zizhong moved his headquarters here, and surrounding A total of three armies of the Far East Military Region are stationed in Ulan-Ude, including the Eighth Far East Army led by Zhang Zizhong.
At this moment, in Zhang Zizhong's headquarters, a communications staff officer handed a telegram to Zhang Zizhong: "Report, there is a call from the headquarters."
The cause of the bloody incident, although Bai Kailu and Cheng Xuande did a good job in the aftermath, was still investigated by Zhang Zizhong's personal guards. As a relatively traditional soldier, Zhang Zizhong could not accept the CIA's people making trouble. Because of this incident, he also severely complained to Chang Gen in front of Ouyang Yun, thinking that he stretched his hands too far. He had the experience of leading the Far East Expeditionary Force and the United Nations Army to expedition to Soviet Russia. Regarding the Soviet Red Army, Zhang Zizhong They had long since gotten rid of their psychological shadow. Germany's devastation in Soviet Russia exposed the Soviet Red Army's appearance of being a strong army. After experiencing the battle to recover the three northeastern provinces, the troops under its command, especially the Mongolian armored group, were fully tempered. After that, although the Soviet Red Army's numbers in the Far East were greater than those of the Far East Military Region, in Zhang Zizhong's view, it was not impossible for his family to win the battle. After all, he had been dealing with the Soviet Russians for many years and knew the Soviet Russians well. Therefore, on the issue of the Far East, Zhang Zizhong maintained a high degree of agreement with Ouyang Yun in many aspects. For example, he believed that there would be a war between China and the Soviet Union sooner or later. For example, he believed that Stalin would never give up the Far East easily...
Zhang Zizhong took it and glanced at it, his eyebrows raised.
The deputy commander next to him, He Zhengsheng, saw this and came over: "The main seat."
"The supreme commander ordered us to take the lead in launching the offensive."
"To break into Soviet Russia."
"What do you think?"
"The reason is that such an important war cannot be fought in vain."
He Zhengjiang is no better than Zhang Zizhong. He Zhengjiang, who was born in the Northeast Army, has always been fighting in the country and does not know the real situation of the current Soviet Red Army. However, with his experience in the Northeast Army, in his eyes, the Soviet Red Army is a behemoth. It seems that the current Far Eastern Army is not something that can be provoked.
"Isn't the reason ready? The bloody incident, the Soviet Russians killed so many of us. As a responsible government, of course we cannot say nothing."
"But there are more than 150,000 Soviet troops in front of us, and in Bisk, the Soviets have accumulated more than 200,000 troops, and there are still 150,000 troops to the north."
"I'm scared." Zhang Zizhong smiled.
"I'm afraid, I'm just talking about the matter. I really don't understand the layout of the headquarters. After the New Delhi meeting, shouldn't we strengthen our defense in all aspects? If what I expected is correct, the Americans and the British, They should all be waiting for us to start a fight so they can take advantage of it."
He Zhengsheng's ability to become independent from the Northeast Army is naturally due to his success. Under the framework of the coalition government, domestic information is developed, and He Zhengsheng's level is enough to ensure that he knows what is happening in the world at the first time. Only when he is involved in major events anywhere, will he have a view from above.
Some of what He Zhengjiang said were actually what Zhang Zizhong was thinking. However, due to his identity, He Zhengjiang could say it out, but he could only hold it in his stomach. "In political matters, naturally there is a supreme commander." They think about how to deal with it. As a soldier, I just have to do our job well. I think the Supreme Commander's handling of this matter is not wrong. Anyway, we will fight sooner or later. What's the difference between active attack and passive defense? Difference, moreover, the reason why the new government is different from the old government lies in its democratic concept. Today we killed hundreds of people and we did not say anything. In the future, if things go on like this, who else will believe in the government and lose it? Can a government supported by the people still be called a government? Not to mention the special situation in the Far East. The Russians here have a low sense of identity with the government. If the country cannot correct its attitude at this time, wouldn't it indirectly destroy them? Push it toward the Soviets."
Zhang Zizhong actually doesn't like to talk about big principles, but this does not mean that he does not know these things, not to mention that after taking control of the Far East, what he thought most about was the issue of national integration, so when he says these words now, it does not make sense at all. Thoughtful.
"Since the high command has given the order, let's fight. When we were in the Northeast, we often dealt with Lao Maozi. This time we want to see who is stronger and weaker between our National Defense Forces and Lao Maozi."
"Let's go ahead and notify everyone. Everyone above the division commander will be present. This battle is not only related to whether the country can truly hold the Far East in its hands, but also related to the foothold of the Far East Army in the country. We cannot afford to slack off."
The Far East Military Region has five armies under its jurisdiction, two of which belong to the national army, including the Second Army, formerly the Mongolian Armored Group Army, and the Third Army, which is mostly Russian.
At around 4:30 in the afternoon, the commanders, corps commanders, and division commanders of each department arrived. In a large conference room next to Zhang Zizhong's headquarters, Zhang Zizhong presided over the second military meeting of division commanders and above since the establishment of the Far East Military Region.
The Mongolian Army and the Far East Army were fully involved in the liberation war for the three northeastern provinces. Among them, perhaps because of their rich practical experience, a group of generals who knew how to fight and knew how to fight had emerged in the Far East Army. Among these people, some of them were originally in Soviet Russia. In the early days of Stalin's rule, he was famous in the Soviet Red Army. There were also some who were uncivilized at that time but became famous this time.
"Everyone, the reason why this meeting is called today is because the Supreme Command has just issued an order to our Far East Military Region." At the beginning of the meeting, Zhang Zizhong went straight to the point and directly stated the theme of the meeting: "Commander Ouyang Yun of the Supreme Command ordered us to immediately Soviet Russia launched retaliatory military operations."
As soon as Zhang Zizhong finished speaking, there was an uproar below. Among the uproar were some of Zhang Zizhong's old subordinates, some of He Zhengjiang's old subordinates, and most of them were Russian generals.
To say that the ones in the Far East Army who were least willing to go to war with Soviet Russia were naturally none other than these Russian generals Zomoko.
"Quiet, you are all the commanders of an army. It is unbecoming to make noise in the meeting place." He Zheng shouted as he descended.
The noise stopped, but three Russian generals stood up. Then, they glanced at each other, and the other two sat down, leaving behind a lieutenant general who was about forty years old.
This lieutenant general was Yevgeny, who defeated a Japanese division with a brigade during the liberation war in the three northeastern provinces.
