The 1940s were completely different from the large mechanized army centers in the 1970s. The large mechanized army centers in the 1940s were actually trucks, not tanks on the surface. However, in the 1970s, with infantry armored vehicles, tracked armored vehicles, and wheels

With the popularity of armored vehicles, the center of mechanization has truly shifted to the latter.

Tanks are very important, and they will determine the outcome of war, but in the era of great mechanization, what really determines the ownership of long-term victory is ultimately the transportation capacity of war materials and the maneuvering allocation of large-scale troops.

In the 1980s, the core of modern military was transformed into new large military transport aircraft. In fact, several changes were still a problem, that is, the transport capacity of the troops.

The Empire has the best and largest number of military trucks in the world, with various models that are light, medium and heavy.

Unlike in the past, a military semi-track truck today (similar to the Opel Mule in World War II) can be equivalent to the transportation capacity of 15 horses, faster and less expensive. More than 100,000 trucks can guarantee not only large ones.

Large-scale materials and the transport of troops can also ensure the combat scale and firepower level of the troops.

Nazi Germany has actually failed to understand this well.

The imperial automobile industry provided the Central Defense Force with the most comprehensive and advanced military vehicles in the world, while ensuring abundant quantity and strong production capacity. It is precisely based on this basis that the Central Military Department can have

With a strong confidence, a quick attack plan was formulated. According to this plan, the Central Imperial Defense Force will implement the Thousand Mile Great Leap Forward within one month, capture Kazan, annihilate the main Red Army troops of the Soviet Union in the east, and then annihilate the Soviet Union's deployed in Kazakhstan.

Garage to ensure the empire's occupation of the entire eastern Soviet Union and Kazakhstan.

...

A few days later, with the approval of Emperor Song Biao, Chen Jiayou held a press conference in Beijing as the head of the Nei Court to report on the central government that the Sino-Soviet negotiations broke down, and China will consider passing military affairs within the Asian League.

Action resolution, send troops to liberate Kazakhstan.

This is the first time that the inner court has surpassed the central government to directly issue a notice on external matters, because the Central Military Department is not suitable for representing the central government, and the central government headed by Gu Weijun is actually unwilling to issue such a notice.

In the end, the head of the inner court could only directly issue this notice. Once the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar, and all countries and politicians knew it very well, which meant that China might send troops to attack the Soviet Union.

From the perspective of international politics, China is not an unreasonable invader. China is based on the interests of the Asian League and demands that the Soviet Union allow Kazakhstan **, but the Soviet Union rejects it, which ultimately forces China to decide to promote military resolutions within the Asian League.

After the Asian League countries voted, they jointly sent troops to liberate Kazakhstan.

That's all I said.

Many years later, looking back at the United States' manipulation of the United Nations and NATO invasion of North Korea, Serbia and Afghanistan, the fact is that they are the same. As long as there are appropriate reasons, justice is always controlled by the world's hegemon.

Although there was a suspicion of robbing by fire, the Empire was still actively promoting this matter within the Asian League Council. In fact, before the imperial court issued this notice, the Empire had reached an agreement with the main member states of the Asian League, and the Empire was in Siberia

Military deployment in Central Asia was also launched at the same time.

The war was only started after the second secret talks between China and the Soviet Union. The preparations were fully launched in July 1940, but before that, the Empire had actually prepared for this war for twenty years.

Long.

This foundation allows the empire to prepare for sending troops to the Soviet Union in a very short time. When the empire's resolution to promote military operations within the Asian League Council passed, the country had begun to mobilize on a large scale again on a large scale, from the central region

The 22 Army Divisions drawn arrived in the Siberian Military Region and Central Asia as scheduled within one month, making the Empire's army garrison in Siberia and Central Asia reach the scale of 27 armored brigades, 14 tank divisions and 30 mechanized infantry divisions, and the Air Force

It will also reach the scale of 13,000 combat aircraft within two months.

People think that the reason for this war is that the Soviet Union disagrees with Kazakhstan. In fact, it is obviously not the case. The Soviet Union agreed, but it is not the kind of unconditional ** emphasized by the Empire, and the Empire never really asked the Soviet Union to unconditional Kazakhstan.

Stan**.

During the multiple rounds of secret talks between China and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union initially disagreed with the Kazakhstan area, and at the same time asked China to continue supplying strategic materials and military equipment and transferring military technology, because the Soviet Union believed that it was helping China resist Nazi Germany, and the negotiations broke down.

Subsequently, the Soviet Union began to agree to the Kazakhstan region. In exchange, China must meet the military, technical and material assistance required by the Soviet Union, and the negotiations continued to break down. In essence, China did not refuse to give the Soviet Union enough support, but asked for it.

More territorial transfers were completely unacceptable to the Soviet Union.

...

The situation was developing very quickly, so fast that it was too late for Germany and the Soviet Union to react.

On September 15, 1940, on the 10th day after Lieutenant General Chen Jiayou issued a notice on behalf of the Imperial Court, the Asian League Council passed a voting resolution in Beijing, and established the Asian League Northern Alliance on this day, appointing Army General Zhao Tingzhu as Asia.

The commander-in-chief of the Alliance Northern Free Alliance, authorized the General Command of the Northern Alliance to liberate the Kazakhstan region.

During this period, Martin Ballman, Secretary-General of the General Office of the German Nazi Party, visited China in an emergency secretly as the head of state envoy, and negotiated on the bottom line of China's dispatch of troops to the Soviet Union. Germany was very contradictory to this. It welcomed China's dispatch of troops and was also worried.

China quickly occupied the eastern part of the Soviet Union and stole territory that should have belonged to Nazi Germany.

Before the official dispatch of troops, the empire still sent Lieutenant General Chen Jiayou to meet with Martin Bauerman, solemnly promising that the empire's goal was to liberate Kazakhstan and ensure that the Asian League member states will no longer be eroded by Sovietism.

At the same time, the Soviet Union hurriedly expressed its willingness to negotiate with the Asian League on Kazakhstan **, but during this period, all the messages sent to the empire by the Soviet Union were nothing but waste paper and no one cared about it.

The empire can also be said to be blindly believing in force. The problem is that the empire does have the force to solve all problems. The empire's ambition is not just as simple as Kazakhstan. The Soviet Union itself is very clear. The empire's goal completely puts the Soviet Union into two.

The Soviet Union completely expelled the territory of Asia.

After the voting was passed within the Asian League Council and all military power was granted to the Northern Alliance, the development of the situation was completely no longer bound by political forces.

...

Omsk.

The city of northwest of the empire.

On the territory of the empire, it is clearly marked as a city of military fortresses. The entire city is like an unprecedented imperial fortress. Chen Qicai once commented on this city when he inspected Omsk in 1933 - even if there were no troops

, It can also withstand a million army.

This is the value of Omsk.

In the past twenty years, Omsk has gradually become an authentic Chinese city. Local Russian residents now only account for 1/7 of the total number of local residents, and most of the residents are new residents migrating from Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Omsk has a certain amount of oil reserves, but the amount of exploitation is not large. Because it is located in the border between China and the Soviet Union, the local trade and industrial economy have always been very prosperous, and various government agencies of the Soviet Union have set up procurement offices here.

In the surrounding Siberian province, more than 110 million mu of arable land has brought a good foundation to Omsk's grain processing industry, textile industry and machinery industry. It is also one of the largest oil industry cities in China, although locally exploited oil

Not much, but oil imported from the Soviet Union is processed here every year.

In just twenty years, it has become the most prosperous city in Novosibirsk region.

General Zhao Tingzhu has lived here for three years. In the past three years, he has been secretly responsible for preparing for the war against the Soviet Union. It can be said that he has prepared very well and is clear-headed.

Compared to life in Beijing, General Zhao Tingzhu prefers life in Omsk. Because the land is large and the population is sparse, Omsk has been the largest city in China since its establishment. The roads are wide and the greening rate is extremely high. The climate here is the northeast.

It was almost the same, and it was even more suitable for General Zhao Tingzhu, so that he wanted to work here until retirement.

Here, his cooperation with Wei Lihuang is quite similar to the German Marshal Hindenburg and Chief of Staff Rudendolf in the First World War. He entrusted most of his work to the energetic Wei Lihuang, and he almost only used it.

Just sign the document.

That's what I said.

After all, Zhao Tingzhu was a senior army general who shot all the way through the guns and bullets. He was so familiar with war. He was like an old farmer farming. He didn't need to attend too many meetings, just see the Wei.

The report submitted by Lihuang can make correct judgments.

The most important point is that he has prepared for this war for too long. In the past twenty years, he has never stopped thinking about this war. After countless times of thinking, he has concluded.

The conclusion is extremely simple - speed and efficiency.

Everything else is not important. As long as the highest speed and efficiency are at the forefront, the empire will easily win this war.

Speed ​​and efficiency are precisely the central guiding ideology of the Imperial Army's mechanized transformation. With the current level of the Empire, it is too easy to defeat the Soviet Red Army again.

It is precisely because General Zhao Tingzhu seemed a little casual. He took a jeep to leave the headquarters at 10 o'clock in the morning and handed over all the annoying and trivial command work to Wei Lihuang, while he went to the troops below to inspect.

Novosibirsk has begun to get cold in October, which is about the same as Beijing in November. By December, it will be cold with the Soviet Union and it is not suitable for large-scale military operations, so there is only one and a half months left for the Northern coalition forces.

.

The highway conditions in Omsk are very good and the asphalt roads are extremely spacious. Thanks to the local chemical industry, the local highway construction cost is indeed very low.

The journey was very stable, and General Zhao Tingzhu quickly arrived at his destination - the First Armored Division.

This was once a force he founded.

He can still remember the situation when the First Division was initially established. At that time, he had just disassembled from the framework of the Manchurian Infantry Division. He completed a series of bandit suppression wars in Changchun and Jilin areas, and absorbed them based on this.

Veterans who participated in the Liaoyang Battle formed the First Infantry Division in the Northeast, then became the First Infantry Division of the Empire, then reorganized from the First Infantry Division into a Mechanic, and finally became the First Armored Division in Wei Lihuang's hands.

The Armored Division is currently the main organization of the Imperial Army.

In the Imperial Army organization system, the armored division usually organizes 1 tank regiment, 2 armored infantry regiments, 1 self-propelled artillery regiment, 2 air defense battalions directly under the jurisdiction, as well as other command battalions, reconnaissance battalions, chemical defense battalions, and the Soviet Union

Different armored divisions, the imperial armored divisions usually have a baggage regiment.

During the war, the strength of each division will generally double, and the situation of the First Armored Division is no exception. The regiment-level organization is still the same as in the past, but the companies under each battalion doubled on average, and the tank regiment is equipped with MBT33

The tanks have also become the new MBT35 main battle tank, and the number has increased from the original 332 to 664.

For the armored division, the armored infantry regiment is the main force of combat.

As the core force of the Imperial Mechanized Army, the armored infantry regiment is equipped with a large number of infantry fighting vehicles and a small number of tanks, and is equipped with tracked infantry fighting vehicles, armored reconnaissance vehicles, mine-removal vehicles, command vehicles, and air defense vehicles.

Tank destroyers, armored transport vehicles, radar warning vehicles, and even kitchen companies and medical companies have special battlefield logistics vehicles.

Through a large number of exercises and tests, the Imperial Army's current main combat ideas and tactics are to require the tank troops to be used more centrally. In each war, several tank divisions or tank brigades will be used as charge forces to break through the opponent's defense line.

, while the armored infantry regiment advanced together with the cooperation of the tank regiment and the tank companies under the battalions of the regiment.

On the front battlefield, armored infantry fighting vehicles must cooperate with tanks under the protection of tanks. The task is to cooperate with tanks, not to bear the center of combat. However, in the entire battle, a large number of armored infantry fighting vehicles must play.

The key role of the main force.

Tactically, infantry is not the center, but in battle, infantry is the main force.

The army combat idea of ​​the empire is actually very simple. In a word, it is summarized as "armored vehicles should be implemented in a systematic manner, while tanks and artillery should be used as centrally as possible, with a focus on combat." At the same time, the higher the mechanization rate, the speed of combat
