Chapter 438 Northwest Strategy

The Chinese army was not ruthless about the domestic situation. Yan Xishan from Taiyuan, Shanxi was already swaying left and right. Although the conditions had not been reached yet, the CIA of the China League of China has already achieved results in the bribery of middle and low-level officers in Shanxi.

Although Yan Xishan often made trouble, he was not willing to die than surrender. After learning that the Chinese army's patience had reached its limit, he finally issued a notice of changing flags in June 1943, announcing that he could leave the country so that he could keep his property and be a comfortable apartment in the next life.

It is impossible to go into politics and military affairs, and Hualian will definitely not allow such things.

When Shanxi surrendered, the Chinese army was not vague and immediately handed over to the defense zone with the Shanxi defenders. As the army entered, the pressure on Shaanxi increased dramatically. The Red Army and the Chinese Army were already old rivals. Hualian's tough attitude towards the Hongmen active faction is also known to the whole country.

The disciples of the Hongmen in Yan'an could not have any way to survive. Zhong Yang has never had a good face for these Soviet lackeys. Anyway, since Chen Qingtong surrendered, the moderate rightists in the Hongmen have turned against each other. Now they mainly engage in legal trade union organization activities within the Hualian League, with the purpose of safeguarding workers' rights and interests, rather than calling for violent revolution.

Coupled with the propaganda and facts over the years, the radical leftists in the Hongmen of China have a bad reputation in China, especially governments like Hualian that advocate the Chinese cultural system are even more disgusted with Hongmen and have always adhered to the attitude of suppression and killing.

The city of Taiyuan has been replaced by all Chinese soldiers. The main military operations in the future are targeting the remnants of the Red Army entrenched in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. This cancer buried by the Soviet Union in China must be completely cleaned up. These red thugs must not be allowed to influence the strategic plan of Hualian.

This first step is not to attack Xi'an, but to quietly go around Mongolia and Xinjiang, and to pacify Gansu first. This group of young men should avoid another Long March.

Although it is easy to enter the village quietly, it is very difficult to implement it. Not to mention how many troops are used. The preparations to prepare for the replacement of defense and garrison so many troops will not be so easy and simple to complete, not to mention the later supply transfer.

However, it does not mean that Hualian took this place for so long, that there is no preparation in advance. Although the railways and highways built from Lanzhou consume a lot of money, such investment can now reflect the rewards of doing so.

The transportation construction that started from the beginning of the recovery not only drove the development of the local economy, but also brought into the connection between these provinces and other provinces. Local agricultural and industrial products can be transported out in large quantities. The profits brought by sales also stimulated the development of the local economy.

When attacking Gansu, some people in the cabinet once questioned whether the investment of such huge amount of funds and manpower and material resources on this land was correct. This can only be said that these people's eyes were too short-sighted, and the resources on this land in Gansu Province were still very rich.

Although it is not only a huge amount of money and materials to develop these resources from here, there is still a big difference between doing it and not doing it. That is, starting today, there will be rewards one day, and not doing it means there will never be rewards.

The Yumen Oilfield alone is worthy of the Hualian government's efforts to invest. What's more, there are non-ferrous metal minerals here?

After so many years of preparation, the northwest is no longer the same as before. The basic transportation here is constantly being improved, which has greatly improved its transportation capacity. In particular, the railway connecting the northwest has become a major artery connecting here.

With the support of the transportation artery, large-scale transportation has become much easier. As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass take the lead, for the Hualian's plan to move westward, a large number of supply warehouses have been established here, and trains are transporting a large amount of supplies to fill the huge space in these warehouses.

At the same time, the Yumen Oilfield, which had completed the first phase of development and construction here before the New Year, has begun to receive returns. A large amount of oil is mined from the underground and processed by refining plants. It has become a variety of oil materials nearby to transport to the upcoming troops. Although the industrial zones in Lanzhou are much smaller in scale than other industrial zones.

However, various types of ammunition can be produced here. In later generations, Lanzhou was also a gathering place for military-industrial enterprises. For nothing else, it is to consider the extensive and deep war logistics support.

In this time and space, Lanzhou is not only an important place for deep logistics support, but also an important transit station for Hualian's plan to move westward in China.

The plan to advance west by the China League of China’s Ministry of Defense and the Cabinet was more crazy and astonishing than the battle against the Soviet Union in the Far East. That battle was actually more about running-in with the cooperation of the large army and testing China’s logistics transportation. More importantly, it would make the Soviets release a lot of blood.

At the same time, it is necessary to focus the Soviet Union's defense near Lake Berga. Although the Soviet Union made a decisive defensive attitude here, the Chinese army still did not want to join the troops and fight them here.

Defence is always easier than offense, and casualties are much less than offense, especially the gap between the weapons and equipment of both sides is too big. Even so, the top military and political leaders of the Hualian League are still unwilling to fight to eat the Soviet army here. Although it is not too difficult to capture the Soviet army that has taken over Berga Lake.

But what about the casualties? What about the supplies and ammunition consumed?

These numbers will definitely not be small numbers. Anyway, fighting from the Far East is a fight, and fighting from Xinjiang to the central part of the Soviet Union is also a fight. And fighting from Gansu has two advantages. One is that the Soviet Union placed the key forces and equipment of defense in the area of ​​Lake Berga, which is easier and simple to fight.

The second is that the cut off the central part can also cause the Soviet army to lose support in the Berga Lake area to collapse. But there is another advantage that is for the Germans. Giving the Soviets from here will definitely cause great damage to the Soviet Union's vitality and chaos. Taking this place can threaten the Soviet Union's European region, which will definitely make Stalin restless.

It can also completely cut off the collusion between the Red Gate of China and the Soviet Union. It can be said that it will kill the numbers in one fell swoop.

Furthermore, this is the place of the five Western Asian countries. Although these countries were incorporated into the Soviet Union after the founding of the Soviet Union, Lenin was fine. At least he had a selfless mind in his face and accepted these countries and provided a lot of assistance to these countries.

But when Stalin's era came, some very outrageous secret decrees were implemented due to Stalin's personal likes and dislikes. Although this is not the Caucasus, the negative impact of the great nationalist idea still made people here feel a little disappointed. Otherwise, when the Soviet Union collapsed, why would these countries announce their separation from the Soviet Union at the first time?

The land of the five Western Asian countries is rich in mineral resources and heart-wrenching oil. In the near future, oil will become the devil that can tempt human struggle the most, and it will fill this small world with war.

Having oil means having wealth and the right to control the world. Even if Zhong Yang makes China a technological power, without oil, many high-tech weapons are still unable to operate.

Don’t simply think that the emergence of nuclear power can make oil stand aside, and large ships can use nuclear power. What about aircraft? Tanks? Cars? Can these vehicles be changed to non-fuel-powered in a short period of time?

Therefore, Hualian wants to take over this place not only for the sake of land. More far-reaching strategic resources and strategic intentions are the real intention of taking over this land. Moreover, from China to the Middle East where oil is more abundant, West Asia is a must-pass place.

However, this premise is to prevent the Soviets from paying attention to the large-scale mobilization and assembly of the Chinese troops as much as possible, and once they are prepared, although the Soviet army cannot stop the Chinese people from advancing, it will inevitably cause increased casualties and pressure on logistics supply. The best way to attack them unexpectedly is to take them unprepared.

Although the Soviet Union has now reduced its troops due to the failure of the two fronts of war, it still poses a great threat. The top leaders of the China League of China still hope to win in a steady manner and cannot ruin major events because of anxiety and rush.

For this purpose, all the trains transporting the troops were made of tank-type carriages. The outside of the tanks and other vehicles was not just covered with camouflage cloth as usual. Instead, temporary guardrails were installed around and on the top of the carriage. Although this was troublesome, it was very effective.

The first batch of attack troops to Xinjiang were the Northwest Army that was established the latest. The Northwest Army was relatively close to the other three armies established later, but they were slightly less heavy armed.

What’s more special is that half of the soldiers in this army are local soldiers recruited from Lanzhou, Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi and Gansu. Although these local soldiers are much worse in terms of cultural quality, the courage of the people here cannot be underestimated.

Moreover, after taking over this place for so long, the people have begun to turn to support the new government, so another reward of investment is naturally reflected in these soldiers who joined the army.

If it were just this army, it would be too sorry for the large area of ​​land of the Soviet Union. In addition to this army, the Hualian also prepared to expand the original Northern Army into two armies of Northeast China and North China to attack the Soviet Union. It is the most troublesome thing to regroup these two ace army.

First of all, it is not easy to withdraw the Northern Army from the battlefield in the Far East. There are so many people and so many equipment, and at the same time, we must also consider that the Northern Army is still confronting the Soviet Union, so how to change defense quietly is not easy to do it.

Another point is that after replacing these people and equipment from the Far East positions, they have to pack them into batches and transport them to the northwest of China from thousands of miles away. The complexity of the process will definitely make the officials in charge of logistics so depressed that their hair will turn white.

A secret marching sounds light, but this matter is extremely difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, with the efforts of the logistics department and the cooperation of the Northern Army soldiers, the Northern Army troops and equipment that were expeditioning to the Soviet Union were quietly replaced from the Far East. The newly-topped New Army troops and the Soviet army should do whatever they should do. After a while of fighting and joking, the Soviet army was happy to calm down like this for a while.

You should know that it is not a good job to exchange fire with the Chinese army. Every time the Chinese cannons and bombs are smashed over like money. The caliber is not only large in range, but also extremely powerful!

The Soviets believed that cannons were the gods of the battlefield, but the Soviets' own cannons were far from reaching the other side. How to fight? It means that they could gain more time. Taking advantage of this period, the Soviets stepped up the construction of defensive fortifications and defense systems in this area.

But they didn't know that the senior executives of the Hualian government did not want to force themselves to eat the place, but wanted to cut off the connection between the place and the rear. Just like in the Far East, they starved and consumed the people here to death!

After nearly three months of defense change and assembly, so far, judging from the mobilization of the Soviet troops back from the satellite investigation, the Soviets did not know what was happening here. Apart from the defensive troops left here, no more troops were sent to reinforce.

However, the assembly speed has slowed down a lot due to confidentiality. The source of this information is sometimes very simple. As long as you stay on the edge of railways and highways, it is easy to know the frequency and number of changes in the flowing vehicles on these logistics arteries.

From this frequency change, you can predict the outbound volume and unusualness. Fortunately, since half a year ago, the logistics department has deliberately adjusted the number and frequency of trains coming and going, in order to confuse the spies lurking in this area. However, such cover cannot really improve the transportation capacity too much, the reason is that the current speed of the train is still difficult to significantly increase.

The preparations required for large-scale corps operations are huge, which is why the Chinese National Defense Command has to wait until the beginning of spring before continuing to take action against the Soviet Union. It is not that God does not allow it, but that the current conditions are restricted.

Everyone wants to improve transportation capacity and increase transportation efficiency, but improving transportation capacity is not a simple problem. This requires a series of large-scale overall transformations of the railway system from head to toe.

Now in China, the railway system has the old railway built in the last century and the new railway that has been paved in recent years. The paving and load-bearing capacity of the old railway and the new railway are very different. The old railways in the past did not consider the improvement of load capacity, and the road foundation was not solid enough.

Most of the laid hardwood is used as sleepers. For the laying speed, even nails are used to pin the rails. Such a railway load-bearing capacity is of course not high. The deep digging of the newly laid railway foundation is made of sleepers made of high-grade cement, and the steel used on the rails is better than the rail steel used before.

The trains running on the railway are also very different. Many of the fronts are still old-fashioned coal-fire steam-powered locomotives, and some advanced ones are new diesel locomotives. Of course, there are not just a few more advanced powered turboshaft locomotives, but considering the popularity of maintenance and maintenance, they are only experimentally equipped with a few.

Another issue is the problem of train dispatch. The current small and small space is not as popular as later generations, nor is it satellite positioning. Once a train leaves the station, it can only contact the road points along the way with the onboard radio.

The consequence of this is that the train's driving position and speed can only conceptually appear in the minds of the dispatching station personnel of the main station, and cannot be determined at any time through satellites and transmitted data to the large screen of the dispatching station in the main station, just like in later generations.

These innate constraints cannot be solved so easily, especially the infrastructure of railway transportation is still in a chaotic and mixed state. In some places, the railway tracks can withstand the high-speed train passing through at high speeds, while in some places, the railway tracks can only pass slowly.

Otherwise, how could the high-ranking people who were harnessing trains and getting guns and cannons have the opportunity to climb onto the fast train? If the train's speed exceeds hundreds of kilometers per hour, the kind of person who easily trots a few steps in film and television works and uses the speed difference to rush onto the train is purely seeking death, and Liu Xiang will not be able to come!

Therefore, in the face of the current not-good railway basic situation, large-scale military operations in the northwest can only be suspended. The war in the industrial era not only fights the comprehensive potential of the country, but also fights the country's war logistics.

Moreover, the current Chinese troops are equipped with advanced equipment, but another representative of the advanced one is that they need greater logistical support capabilities. Not long ago, the Germans seized a batch of supplies transported by the United States on the battlefield. A batch of cakes of the supplies were sent to the commander's residence. The German commander was surprised to find that the cakes were actually transported from Texas, the United States.

At this time, it was difficult to find even a liter of gasoline in Germany. During the Battle of Ardennes, every German soldier was equipped with a pipe. For nothing else, he could extract any liter of oil found for use for German tanks at any time.

But Americans can still use precious gasoline to transport a batch of cakes from their homeland to the front line. What does this mean?

This means that the United States' logistical support capabilities are strong in terms of transportation capacity and efficiency, which makes all opponents shudder. Modern warfare cannot be pushed out or picked out with ordinary people's unicycles and shoulder poles, it is just a fantasy propaganda by the Chinese government.

China led by the ancient Chinese Society will also be one of the opponents of the United States. The Americans are now fighting with the Japanese in Southeast Asia, and both sides are fighting for islands.

There is not much time left for China. According to the war schedule expected in Zhong Yang's heart, the fastest end of this year and the slowest is the beginning of next year. China will land in Australia and extend its last battle boots in its strategy of moving south.
