The battle was over. Zhang Yunhan looked at the combat report submitted by the Second Army. It reflected many things.
First of all, our army lost more than 5,300 people in this battle, with 3,273 killed, 1,149 slightly injured, and 907 seriously injured. The casualties were mainly due to the 221st Regiment's position defense battles and trench warfare. If the artillery support of the Second Army had not been in place, this number might have doubled!
During the battle, our soldiers were brave and fearless, but they lacked experience in large-scale operations and could hardly achieve coordination between infantry and tanks. The enemy's heavy casualties were mostly caused by air force bombing and artillery bombing, and tank training needs to be improved.
In addition, in this battle, the 221st Regiment’s defensive battle alone consumed more than 400,000 rounds of bullets! ! !
Especially in the later stages of the battle, when the bullets have been used up, hand-to-hand combat has even begun! Therefore, the military establishment must be rectified, otherwise the logistics will be too serious.
In fact, Zhang Yunhan has already paid attention to this matter, but currently there are no good weapons and equipment for the troops. Only when the mission is completed can the entire army be reorganized.
Zhang Yunhan annotated his suggestions on the report and placed it in the first row of the filing cabinet behind him.
When Zhang Yunhan closed the cabinet, he saw a combat plan at the back of the first row: a combat plan against Russia.
Zhang Yunhan turned around and looked at the huge and detailed map of Asia on the left.
Russia has been seizing land from China since the Qing government. In the past, when Ulyanov was still there, Lao Maozi said that he would return the land that he had invaded and occupied China. However, since Big Beard came to power, Russia has not only failed to return it, but has even planned to return it. Occupy the Western Region! Mongolia! northeast! ! !
Zhang Yunhan has long remembered this greedy northern giant bear, but now is not the time to fight with Lao Maozi, and with the current strength of the Northwest Army, it is not enough to fight to the death. The air force has no advantage, the infantry does not have 500,000, and the armored force Although there are advantages, Lao Maozi's natural weapon, the cold winter, is enough to resist most invasions.
Napoleon, Mustache, which one was not defeated by the cold winter? ?
The combat plan against the Soviet Union was conceived by Zhang Yunhan himself.
The first step is the northwest region. From the Western Region, leave the Altai Mountains and go north to cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway. After taking this place, we will heavily defend and wait for opportunities.
The Trans-Siberian Railway is the lifeblood of the area east of the Ural Mountains. The Siberian Military District, the Far Eastern Military District, etc. all rely on this railway to maintain smooth logistics. It can be said to be the lifeline of the Far East, so it is necessary to capture this railway line! !
The second step is to launch a mechanized assault from Mongolia to the northeast and cut off the retreat path of the Russian Far East Military District. At the same time, attack Vladivostok from the northeast, seize the port, surround the main force of the enemy's Far East Military District, and annihilate them.
The third step is to move people from within the pass, occupy these places, implement differentiated management over the original Russian residents, drag those who resist to build roads, and disperse the others among the Chinese residents for assimilation. Assimilation may take five, six, or even ten years.
The fourth step is to advance westward to the Ural Mountains, win over and support local forces in the area close to the Arctic Ocean, and split and become independent.
This is Zhang Yunhan's plan to fight against Russia. The entire plan will take many years to implement, so Zhang Yunhan has to wait, wait for Lao Maozi and Dezi to go shopping, and kill you while you are sick!
The war against Russia was a long-term war. Zhang Yunhan never expected to destroy Russia with the current northwest power. It was no different from seeking death.
Don't say Zhang Yunhan can't do it, no other country in the world can do it. It's too big. It is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. It is more than 9,000 kilometers long from east to west and more than 4,000 kilometers wide from north to south! The total area is 24 million square kilometers, accounting for about one-sixth of the world's land area! !
If you eat Russia in one go, you will definitely die!
But in this combat plan, the western front alone requires about 30 divisions! ! There are about 500,000 main troops, so Zhang Yunhan has been holding back. Even if Lao Maozi invaded this time, Zhang Yunhan did not resist the invasion. Now he must seize the time to develop industry, expand the army, capture the Northeast, and wipe out the north of the Yellow River. Russia is too big, and it would be unreasonable and unscientific to attack it now.
On January 30, 1932, Russia sent diplomats to Jincheng by plane. The two sides met secretly, put forward their own proposals on the issue of the Western Region, and then signed an agreement.
On February 7, 1932, the Russian government issued a notice stating that the conflict between Russia and China was Russia's responsibility. The 181st Division Commander Petrov led his troops to cross the border without authorization and entered its territory without the consent of the Chinese government. A conflict broke out, and China is now handing over war criminals who undermined regional peace. We apologize for this conflict in the Western Region and pay a compensation to the Chinese government. Russia and China reiterated the need for border security, earnestly implemented the Western Region Border Agreement, and maintained local stability.
After the battle, Zhang Yunhan sent someone to Moscow to negotiate with the Russian government to resolve the matter.
On the one hand, the Russian government has lost a lot of face at this time, not to mention it is still an invasion war. Countries such as Bald Eagle and John Bull have begun protests, and the Northwest Army itself is strong. Therefore, Russia quickly reached an agreement on peace and stability in the Western Region.
Secondly, Big Beard's strategic focus is on the Eastern European plains. Although there are resources in the Western Region, it is far away from Russia. What's more, it has still been defeated and the country is at a critical juncture of industrialization.
Therefore, in summary, the Russian government finally agreed to the peace talks. After the two sides reached an agreement, they decided to meet again in Jincheng.
The end of the war was beyond everyone's expectations. The people in the country celebrated the victory of the war. The borders were stable and no territory was lost.
But Jinling’s peanuts don’t think so. Meeting? Meeting was the word used by the two heads of state! Why did he, Zhang Yunhan, meet? Who does he think he is! And Lao Maozi! In China now, the central government is in Jinling! Not Jincheng! !
Lao Maozi was so angry that he threw another pile of porcelain that night.
Western countries have also expressed doubts about the peace talks. They are all relatively hostile to the new Russian government. This is ideological hostility!
Although this conflict ended peacefully, Western countries have seen a force that restrains Russia in the east, and that is the Northwest Military Government!
When all countries were thinking about how to contain the bear, Dezi with a mustache noticed the tactics of the Northwest Army in this battle against Russia - armored assault and blitzkrieg! !
Mustache has long had the idea of a government world, and his spies are all over the world, so some of the battle experiences of this Western Region campaign were also placed on the conference table of Dezi's military...
