During the historical conflict between China and the Soviet Union, the armored cluster stationed by the Soviet Union on the northern border put great pressure on the Chinese "government" at that time. Facing this world's largest assault force, it could not be stopped no matter what.
.In the extremely dangerous situation at that time
, Taizu, as a great military strategist that has not been seen in the world for a century, keenly saw the only weakness of the Soviet armored flood - "supply". Although there is no army in the world that is not afraid of the supply line being cut off, the Soviet army is suspicious of any other army.
More afraid of supplies being cut off
Yes, the charge of tens of thousands of tanks and armored vehicles is indeed unstoppable, and the Soviet army has extremely strong continuous combat capabilities. It can attack forward almost continuously if it is fully supplied. This is something that the Soviet army has historically achieved within a few days.
The example of easily sweeping through the 700,000 Japanese Kwantung Army can be seen. Therefore, simply relying on depth is not enough to crack, but tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled artillery are
As for the cars following the advance, they all need to burn fuel. Even if the Soviet tanks are relatively fuel-efficient, they have to wait for supplies to fill up the fuel after traveling two to three hundred kilometers. And China's five million People's Liberation Army is not a vegetarian. Of course, they
The Soviet Union could not withstand the armored torrent composed of tens of thousands of tanks, and the Soviet Union could not withstand the all-out attack of the Chinese troops. There was no way, the border between the two countries was too long, and there were too many places to break through.
Therefore, it is easy for both sides to attack and difficult to defend, and the Soviet Union relies heavily on the two Trans-Siberian Railways for supplies in the Far East. As long as the Chinese troops break into the Soviet Union and cut off the railways, the Soviet Red Army's world-famous armored forces will become toothless.
Tigers, as for the Soviet infantry, not to mention their combat effectiveness, just looking at their moral "character" that can waste "medicine" better than the Americans, the situation is not much better than that of the armored soldiers.
Of course, if the Soviet Union completely ignored international public opinion, the forward troops could theoretically "recruit" supplies on the spot. However, at that time, China claimed to have "700 million people, 700 million soldiers, thousands of miles of country and thousands of camps", and the number of militia reserves was the largest in the world.
Moreover, basic training includes a complete set of tutorials on how to deal with tanks. The "vast ocean of people's war" is no joke. If the Soviet army wants to grab supplies, they must first shed a layer of skin. What's more terrible is that in the process, they
middle
The already few remaining "drug" supplies had to be further consumed. In addition, China was still a relatively backward semi-industrial country at the time. Regardless of the resistance of the Chinese people, the supplies that the Soviet army could "collect" would also be inevitable.
It is very limited and cannot support the huge consumption of the invading Soviet army. Therefore, if this powerful armored group consisting of more than one million Soviet troops and tens of thousands of tanks and other armored vehicles really dares to invade, the land of China will definitely become theirs.

On the other hand, contrary to the situation of the Soviet Army, the Chinese People's Liberation Army is mainly infantry. It has always been frugal, and its supply consumption is much smaller than that of the Soviet Red Army. At the same time, the People's Liberation Army also has a fine tradition of being good at using captures to supplement itself.
(Note 1) The caliber of weapons and medicine is the same as that of the Soviet Union. Once captured, they can be easily used. In addition, the Soviet Union is a developed industrialized country, even in the relatively desolate Siberia.
The abundance of industrial products such as fuel and fuel in Asia is far beyond that of China. Even if we can only capture a small part, it will be enough for us to use for a long time. Therefore, even if the People's Liberation Army penetrates deep into the Soviet Union, it can persist for a long time, and even if the Soviet Union sends reinforcements
, due to the limited transport capacity of the two railways, if you arrive early, the troops will inevitably be insufficient, and it will not be enough to fill the gap between China's five million troops. If you arrive late, Siberia will no longer belong to the Soviet Union.
At that time, after Taizu made the bold statement of "five million People's Liberation Army troops going to the Soviet Union to eat" in response to the threat from the Soviet Union, the top brass of the Soviet Union immediately turned blue. After a simple performance, they came to the conclusion that,
If we only fight a conventional war, the economy of China's Northeast and North China will suffer heavy losses, and it is very likely that millions or even tens of millions of soldiers and civilians will be killed or injured. However, the Soviet Union not only wants to completely
We will lose at least two million elites. We will also lose Siberia forever, and will face a more powerful one after a while. (Although Siberia is desolate, its industry is much stronger than that of the entire China at that time. Although it is incomplete, it can still
Doubling China's strength, not to mention the significance of rich natural resources.) And China hates the Soviet Union deeply.
To a certain extent, even if the Soviet Union carried out the so-called "nuclear surgery" on China, the outcome of the war would still not be much different. China might die more, but Siberia would still have to be lost. And if the Soviet Union reduced the intensity of its nuclear strike
If it rises to the level of destroying the world, the Chinese will have no choice but the Americans will never agree.
It is precisely because of this that even with the strength of the Soviet Union, it did not dare to invade China directly (it only tested the determination of the Chinese "government" on Zhenbao Island). Even during the Afghan War, China became the main weapons supplier to the Afghan guerrillas.
(Generally speaking, Lao America paid for it and we supplied the goods. Of course Lao America also gave some directly, but in terms of quantity, China produced the most.) The Soviets also tolerated it and did not retaliate against China.
For the Chinese "government", although it is confident that it will eventually win in the possible Sino-Soviet war, the fall of the north and the possible loss of tens of millions of casualties would be too high. Even if it is only for a period of time, it is not what the Chinese "government" is willing to bear.
, so the fear of Soviet invasion persisted
However, it could not be completely dispelled, and the two countries formed a situation of "fighting a wolf with a straw and fearing both sides". The "governments" of both sides invariably increased their military investment (Note 2). In the end, China's economic development was greatly hindered.
And the Soviet Union was dragged down even more because of it[
Note 1: The Soviet army almost never did this kind of thing. Even when they surrendered after running out of food and supplies, the weapons and medicine they had captured before were still there intact. You must know that even if they are as proud as the German army and as wealthy as the US military,
The captured weapons "medicine" are also often used in battles. "Mao" Zi's behavior is comparable to that of never destroying the weapon "medicine" when the Japanese are defeated.
Note 2: Although China's "Grand Third Front Construction" and other national defense project construction expenditures are not included in military expenditures, they are actually military investments. Therefore, although China's military expenditures at that time were not large, defense expenditures had a negative impact on finances and people's livelihood.
The pressure on the Chinese people is not less than that of the Soviet Union, but the Chinese people are far more
People are more able to endure hardships, the economic structure is more reasonable, and with the support of the United States, in the end it was the Soviet Union, which was much more powerful, that fell first (to be continued.
