Chapter 3124 Advantages
"The Chinese attack came so suddenly that Polkov and I just ran to the duty point when we heard the unique whistling sound of bombs crashing into the sky. When I turned around subconsciously, I saw groups of bombs falling from the sky, and we The position we were in instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames..."——Excerpt from Hilson's diary.

In the Far East battlefield, as the defensive side, Lake Baikal is a natural fortification.Therefore, both China and the Soviet Union regard Lake Baikal as a major military assembly point, and at the same time, they have built a large number of fortifications around Lake Baikal.

When did Sino-Soviet relations start to cool down?When did the Chinese and Soviet armies confront each other on both sides of Lake Baikal?As a small second lieutenant, Hilson has neither the need nor the interest to pay attention.In his impression, he only remembered that in the second half of last year, when the officers above talked about China, their tone changed.After all, China once helped Soviet Russia fight against the German invaders, and the Russians have never been ungrateful (Hilson feels himself), so for a long time after the end of the Soviet-German War, what Hilson heard See, even if it is not a compliment about personnel matters related to China, it is a kind of intimacy that only comes under the tone of a friend.

"We were friends just a second ago, but now, we are already eternal enemies! The reason for this is because of the so-called national and national interests in Polkov's mouth!"

The front army system is a large-scale organization specially set up for a certain aspect of war in Soviet Russia during the war.After Germany's retreat, in addition to the Far East, the Soviet Russian High Command still retained a Far Eastern Front, such as the Southwest Front, the Northern Front, and the Northwest Front, all of which had been abolished.

Irkutsk, Northern Front Command, as the bombing radius of the Chinese Air Force further expanded, Vatutin's emergency combat meeting has been moved underground.Hilson feels that Soviet Russia began to change its attitude towards China in the second half of last year. In fact, starting from March last year, under Stalin's secret order, Irkutsk, the city closest to China, Ulan The Soviet Russian city of Ude began to prepare for war.First, a large number of agents of the Political Security Bureau settled in, but a large number of militiamen and engineers.With the entry of the militia and engineers, Irkutsk began a complicated defense construction...

This basement was built at that time, and according to the parameters provided by the Political Security Bureau, this basement is located more than [-] meters underground and is equipped with elevators. bombardment.

In the crude underground conference room, Vatutin was speaking in it, when a communications officer walked in with a briefcase: "Comrade General, a telegram from the Supreme Commander."

After signing the folder handed over by the Communications Staff Officer, Vatutin opened the telegram sent to him by Stalin.Under everyone's gaze, he read every word, then raised his head and glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "The supreme commander asked us to give the invading Chinese army a head-on blow, and ordered us to launch a counterattack as quickly as possible. Comrades , I announce here that the battle to recover the Far East has officially begun!"

As if to set off his words, there was a loud noise on the ground, and everyone could only feel the cement dust falling down around them. They all stood up at once, waved their fists and shouted: "Resolutely implement the order of the supreme commander! Attack!" !attack!"

"I order..."

"Resolutely execute!" After Vatutin issued a specific combat order, the generals attending the meeting filed out, and after they left, Major General Joseph, the supreme commander of the air force of the Northern Front, walked up to Vatutin and asked loudly ; "Comrade general, what about the air force? Doesn't our air force have combat missions?"

The explosions from the ground became more intense, and suddenly, a violent explosion sounded, shaking the entire basement building.Vatutin waved his hand at Joseph and called Lapniv loudly: "Go up and see what's going on? Did our arsenal be blasted?!"

Lapniv strode out in response.

Vatutin looked directly at Joseph and said seriously: "Of course the air force will participate in the war, but our air force is not used to help the Chinese Air Force's reputation needlessly. Your main combat direction will be in the area east of Lake Baikal!"

As an excellent commander, knowing yourself and the enemy is a compulsory course.The reason why Vatutin did not release the air force for a long time, and let Joseph lead the troops to make frequent transitions every three days was because he realized the huge gap in the performance of the fighters of the two sides, and he did not want to use up the air force of his own air force innocently. scramble on.

As a well-known tank combat command expert in the history of Soviet Russia in that time and space, Vatutin is best at armor command operations.After the northern front army assembled in Irkutsk, for a long period of time, what he did was re-reconnaissance of the terrain in the Chinese-controlled area, and he personally supervised the re-production of a more detailed surrounding topographic map.

There is no doubt that from the very beginning, Vatutin pinned his hope of victory on the tank army. At the same time, he was also confident that he could rely on the relatively strong armored force of the Northern Front Army to win a breakthrough in the direction of Lake Baikal.

Joseph left, and Vatutin stood in front of the map with piercing eyes, focusing on Baikalsk.

Baikalsk, located on the southernmost side of Lake Baikal, is a small town on the front line of Soviet Russia.Because of the existence of the natural fortification of Lake Baikal, if the Chinese Far East Army wants to launch a ground attack, there is no doubt that Baikalsk will be the primary target of their attack.

"Comrade general, our No. [-] ammunition depot was hit by a Chinese plane, and it exploded!" Lapniv walked in and reported with a panicked face.

"Is the bombing still going on?"

"The Chinese are going crazy, one after another. Just received a report that two divisions of the air defense battalions of the frontline garrison have been wiped out. Comrade General, the Chinese seem to be serious! "

"Any other bad news?"

Lapniv was a little surprised at Vatutin's composure, and shook his head.

Vatutin's eyes still fell on the map, and he seemed to say casually: "The Chinese Air Force has too many advantages in the Far East. If it were me, I would try my best to make use of it. However, I firmly believe that on the ground, keep The dominant position is our invincible Soviet Red Army! It doesn't matter, as long as our tanks are still there, the Chinese will never try to defeat us!"
