"Strange, why did the attack of the stubborn little Japan suddenly become so weak?" Dong Jinming put down the telescope, scratched his head, and said to Zhang Zixuan, the chief of staff beside him, with some surprise.
Zhang Zixuan was still observing carefully in front of the lookout. Through the telescope, he could see about a brigade of Japanese soldiers spread out their attack formation. After entering a range of 400 meters, the sound of gunshots just sounded on the position, and they all fell to the ground.
Not moving at all.
Zhang Zixuan turned his head, shook his head, and said with some uncertainty: "It's very strange. This has happened several times in a row. If the prediction is not wrong, they will retreat on their own in half an hour, and they will not even ask us during this period."
Fire a shot. Is there something wrong with their logistics?"
"This-maybe!"
Dong Jinming smiled bitterly, raised the telescope again and looked for a few minutes. The gunfire on the position had stopped, and the grassland opposite was quiet. There was no sign of anything. He simply stopped looking and strode out of the underground bunker.
We walked through six or seven traffic ditches in the drizzle and returned to the small two-story reinforced concrete building that served as the headquarters three kilometers later.
Arriving at the war room on the second floor, Dong Jinming called the division commanders and chiefs of staff of the two frontline divisions to analyze the sudden new situation.
Wang Liyan, the commander of the Second Division, had obviously considered this for a long time. He spoke first: "It was difficult to encounter this kind of situation in the past. The Japanese army mostly attacked to the end, and it was rare to be so slack. It is estimated that the Japanese army has a supply problem and is hoarding supplies.
Food, grass and ammunition to prepare for the next big offensive."
"Commander, do you think it is possible for the enemy to divide their forces and attack the rear of our position?"
Zhou Xin, commander of the 3rd Division, experienced the entire division's emergency retreat after the failure at Gurskoye Pass and fought bloody battles to escape the Japanese encirclement. He still has fresh memories of the Japanese army's tactics of dividing forces and attacking together.
Dong Jinming shook his head decisively: "Probably not! According to the opinion of the staff department, the environment in Western Siberia is harsh. Without a guide who is familiar with the terrain, it is very easy to get lost. There are bottomless swamps hidden everywhere on this endless prairie.
Once lost in the quagmire, it means large-scale death for an army. Although the Japanese generals ignore life and death, they will still resist if they die in a meaningless way, so it is unlikely that the Japanese army will divide its troops.
!”
"Is it possible for the Japanese army to adopt the paratrooper tactics used in the Far East last time?" Li Deren, chief of staff of the Second Division, thought for a while and asked.
"impossible!"
Zhang Zixuan walked into the conference room, shook off the rain from his body, took off his raincoat and hung it on the back of the door, and said: "With continuous rain, even our fighter planes will not be able to take off to join the war, not to mention that the Japanese army may use aircraft to airdrop troops to us.
We are in the rear! But it is necessary for us to be careful and strengthen our vigilance.
There cannot be too few mobile sentries sent out on both wings! At the same time, we would like to say hello to the frontline soldiers. The enemy has not entered our effective shooting range. Don’t waste bullets. From now on, we must also pay attention to saving ammunition. After all, with the Siberian Railway being controlled by the Japanese army, we
Supplies have become very difficult!”
Dong Jinming thought for a moment, stood up and said:
"Okay, after everyone goes back, carefully observe the movements of the Japanese army, and beware of the enemy's deception, and use false and true tricks to confuse us! However, we cannot be led by the Japanese army. If we are highly nervous at any time, it will last for several days.
We ourselves will collapse first. From now on, we will only place two or three companies on the front line, and all other troops will be withdrawn to the rear. We will rest when we need to rest, eat when we need to eat, and rotate. As long as we don't mess up, the little devils can't do anything to us!
"
At the end of the meeting, Dong Jinming sorted out all the opinions and personally sent them to the theater headquarters in Tatarsk.
At this time, Hu Jialin and Huang Zhi gathered in front of the sand table to observe changes in the Japanese army's troop movements.
During this period, the clouds were very thick, and high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft lost their effect. The only way to detect the movements of the Japanese troops was through airship radar. However, due to severe echo interference, the accuracy was not high. However, it is not necessary to judge accurate news from subtle changes.
Is it a required course for An Jiajun generals?
Since the Northern Expedition, if it had not been for the maximum analysis of subtle information to take the initiative, it would be difficult for the Anjia Army to develop to the scale it is today. In the eyes of generals like Hu Jialin and Huang Zhi who have experienced hundreds of battles, the smallest details are
The differences also allowed them to deduce the general movements of the Japanese army.
Seeing Dong Jinming enter the room, Hu Jialin straightened up and greeted: "Jin Ming, did you find anything unusual there?"
Dong Jinming was from the Special Forces Brigade of the Independent Division. When he saw the old officer, he gave a straight salute first, and then told Hu Jialin about the strange phenomena that occurred on the front line, and sent him the records of his conversations with the generals of the Second and Third Divisions.
Hu Jialin pondered for a moment after reading it, then called Dong Jinming to the sand table to check the current situation between ourselves and the enemy, and handed the record to Huang Zhi, who raised his head.
Huang Zhi browsed hurriedly, nodded repeatedly, and finally said with a smile: "The Japanese army has indeed divided its forces. It seems that the Japanese do not want to confront us head-on!"
Dong Jinming became anxious when he heard this: "Two chiefs, why are you so happy? Since we know that the Japanese army has divided its forces, we should quickly mobilize our troops and close the loopholes immediately."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!"
Hu Jialin pointed to the sand table and explained: "The Japanese troops are not used on the front line, but transferred to the rear, especially the industrial area in the southeast of Novosibirsk. Jin Ming, come and see, Kemirovo, Topki, Leninskku
More than 20 cities including Znetsky, Belovo, Guryevsk, Salail, Prokobyevsk, Stalinsk, Abagen, etc.
The city is concentrated between the Salail Ridge and the Kuznets Alatau Mountains. This area was originally the border area between China's Tangnu Uliang Sea and Siberia. At the end of the last century, a large number of iron ore and coal mines were discovered, with huge reserves.
It is impossible to estimate, so Tsarist Russia can’t wait to separate the Tangnu Ulianghai area from our country to ensure the safety of this large mineral deposit.
"Previously, Tsarist Russia only regarded this place as a raw material production area. All the coal and iron ore dug out were transported by railway to the industrial zones in Eastern Europe for smelting and processing. After the establishment of the Soviet Union, systematic industrial planning was carried out. During the First and Second Five-Year Plans,
, a large number of steel plants were built here to comprehensively develop and utilize the resources here. After the Far East Army took over, it also regarded this place as the most important industrial center.
"Due to the large number of rebellions and the rapid advance of the Japanese army, the Far East did not have time to carry out demolition, leaving a large number of factories for Japan. The Japanese probably also knew that it was difficult to hold Siberia, so they simply thought of taking a handful and leaving.
We have taken aim at the machinery and equipment there and are preparing for a major demolition!"
Dong Jinming observed carefully for a moment and suddenly said: "Tell me, why did the little devil suddenly become as timid as a rabbit? It turned out that they ran to rob! But they were afraid that we would see that the frontline troops were empty, so they simply made
This kind of meaningless feint attack only makes us suspicious!"
Huang Zhidao: "Don't be careless. The Japanese army has at least three armies between Ozero Karachi and Balabinsk along the Siberian Railway. They still have an absolute military advantage over us! We are now on the one hand careful to be on guard, and on the other hand let
The troops took turns to rest, waiting for Ye and Li's regiment to finish resolving the war on the southern front, and then settle accounts with the Japanese army.
"Judging from the current situation, the top brass of the Japanese army do not have much hope in occupying Siberia, and their will to fight is not strong. As long as we show sufficient strength, the Japanese army is very likely to retreat without a fight!"
At this time, the communications staff came in and handed Hu Jialin a telegram.
After Hu Jialin finished reading, his face became ugly, he stuffed it into Huang Zhi's hand, and then said to Dong Jinming who was standing aside with a straight face: "Why are you still standing here? I didn't prepare dinner!"
Dong Jinming hurriedly saluted, turned and left. When he came to the door, he stuck out his tongue childishly, thinking that whoever had angered Boss Hu would definitely not get any good results.
In the room, Hu Jialin waited for Huang Zhi to finish reading, and then said displeasedly: "It's just playing the piano randomly! What did Xiao Yi think, that he wanted to build such an important thing in Central Asia? Central Asia is a newly occupied territory, so it can be done
It is said to be a frontline war zone. How can security be guaranteed? Now our army, the Japanese army, the Far East Army and the Soviet Army are intertwined. Once the Far East Army fails and millions of Soviet troops roll down, will the newly built facilities be blown up by then?
?
"Central Asia is vast and sparsely populated. Its total population is not even comparable to that of Syria. Coal power is sufficient for industrial power. It can be said that there is basically no demand for nuclear power. In addition, this is an enclave, very far away from Southwest and South China.
Far away, it will be very difficult to build a nuclear base. It will be transported by airship. I don’t know how long it will take to build it. I don’t know if it was Xiaoyi’s idea that came up with a slap on the forehead. Lao Huang, what if I call back and refuse?”
Huang Zhi knew that Hu Jialin was one of the few people who could persuade An Yi. After careful consideration, he agreed with Hu Jialin's view: "The matter is so important that we cannot be so hasty. Indeed, we are confident that we can gain a firm foothold in the four-party competition.
, dare to face all challenges, but things cannot be changed by human will. Once a crisis occurs, all efforts will be wasted, which is something no one wants to see! "
Hu Jialin paced back and forth, pondering for a long time, and then said: "This matter is of great importance. I decided to go back to South China in person and explain the stakes of this matter to Xiao Yi! The nuclear base is going to be launched, but it cannot be located in Central Asia or the coastal plain of South China.
There are many areas and the terrain is remote and hidden, so people don’t know it.
How much? There is no need to come to Central Asia to join in the fun! In addition, I will report to him about the mobilization of Japanese troops. I always feel that the inside story is not simple. Maybe the intelligence departments such as the Fourth Hall, the General Staff Intelligence Department and the National Security Bureau can answer the questions.
Our confusion.”
Huang Zhi was startled, then nodded: "That's good. According to this situation, the Japanese army will not launch a major offensive in a short time. As long as I'm here to watch, there won't be any problems. When are you going to go back, brother?"
Hu Jialin said: "The meteorological department has forecast that the rain will stop tomorrow morning. I decided to take a plane back, first to Kulun and then to Xufu. I will go home by the way. My senior sister has one arm. Although she hired a nanny, she
I can’t help but wonder what kind of things she will come up with after I’ve been away for so long.”
Huang Zhi felt sour in his heart and sighed: "I have to go back and see my sister-in-law. I have a deep affection for my sister-in-law. In recent years, my brother has been stationed in North China and he and my sister-in-law have been separated for a long time. Later, he was hit by a poison gas bomb by the Japanese army. My sister-in-law is so tired and worried...
..Hey, brother, please spend more time with your sister-in-law when you have time. Anyway, if there is any situation, I will report it as soon as possible, so I won’t miss anything."
Hu Jialin smiled slightly and patted Huang Zhi heavily on the shoulder, his eyes full of gratitude.
