In this war, the results of the Chinese National Defense Force's coordinated operations of tanks and aircraft shocked the world. Western politicians were praising the powerful assault power of tanks and the role of new aircraft in the war, and launched plans to target this tactic.

However, the Soviet Red Army, which directly faced the Chinese attack, was also faced with how to block the attack of Chinese tanks and aircraft, and Frunze was the first strategist to come close to success. He targeted Serov

Changing tactics allowed the overwhelming Chinese regiment to never capture Serov even though it had a huge advantage.

Tanks and airplanes are undoubtedly weapons of war. Just like gunpowder was used for the first time in war, they changed the direction of the entire history of war. But similarly, no weapon is omnipotent, and the same is true for tanks and airplanes. On the plains

In large-scale army operations, whether it is tanks, aircraft, or even rocket launchers used by Chinese ** regiments, they can easily tear apart the enemy's front line, cooperate with infantry to capture targets, surround and annihilate the enemy. However, in urban wars, the assault force is lost.

Even weapons such as tanks that are restricted by the complex terrain of the city have lost their original role. At this time, only infantry can play the leading role. Even artillery, the god of war, cannot replace the role of infantry.

Bai Chongxi is an excellent commander. It is commendable that he immediately stopped the original tactical attack when the attack was frustrated. But facing Serov who is like a turtle's nest, it is necessary to capture Serov while ensuring that the troops cannot suffer excessive losses.

It is extremely difficult. Now, under the attack of artillery fire, aircraft and infantry, Serov's outer positions have changed hands, but as it advances towards the center of the city, the resistance the Chinese ** regiment encounters becomes greater.

This is just like the Battle of Stalingrad that Fang Zida knows. During World War II, the German army was all over Europe and was invincible. But in the war to attack Soviet Russia, it was precisely because they could not capture Stalingrad for a long time that they could not concentrate their efforts to capture the capital.

Moscow, in the end, hated the land of Russia just like Napoleon did in the severe cold, thus losing the initiative in the entire war.

Compared with the war madman Mustache, Fang Zida should have a greater advantage. The Chinese Communist Regiment launched a war against Soviet Russia before the arrival of spring, and now there is still more than half a year before the cold winter. But what is happening on the battlefield?

All situations are possible. Fang Zida cannot guarantee 100% that his troops can completely defeat the Soviets before the cold winter.

Because of this, time is extremely precious for both sides. Moscow is the capital of the Soviet Union, the center and symbol of the Red Empire. To completely defeat the Soviet Union and win this war, Moscow must be captured as soon as possible.

Fang Zida himself estimated that if he could surround Moscow in the summer, he would be able to capture the city before winter came. The battle of Moscow was the key to determining the outcome of the entire war, and he would never allow his main force to be wasted in Serov with the enemy.

"In which direction is Lu Langzhai's army now?" Fang Zida asked Wu Peifu after thinking deeply for half an hour.

"According to the strategic deployment, Lu Langzhai's army should soon arrive in the Lower Tagil area..."

"Nizhny Tagil?" Fang Zida walked to the Russian map hanging on the wall. Wu Peifu quickly stepped forward and took out a red pencil from his pocket, and drew a circle on Nizhny Tagil, southwest of Serov.

Fang Zida folded his arms and looked at the map, frowned slightly, thought for a while and then asked: "What is the current situation of the reorganized troops in the labor camp? How many troops are there in total that can be put into battle?"

"Zhang Ming, you don't want to use a force composed of labor camp personnel to fight Serov, do you? Although this regiment has 100,000 people, it is not suitable for direct combat in terms of training and organization. If it is only for auxiliary tasks,

It's still barely enough. If they are used as the main attack, I'm afraid..." Wu Peifu is worried that Fang Zida is hot-headed. This war is not a child's play. Especially modern wars are not like the peasant uprisings hundreds of years ago that attracted hundreds of thousands of people and took advantage of them.

They fight with sticks and hoes. The possibility of an untrained army being defeated on a cruel battlefield is very high. The legion composed of labor camp personnel seems to be large in number, but in fact the politics of organizing this legion are

The significance goes far beyond the military aspect.

Fang Zida smiled and shook his head: "Of course it's impossible. Even if these people are to be of great use, they must be tempered by the flames of war. However, I heard that the morale of this unit is still good, is that true?"

"That's true." Wu Peifu also laughed and nodded: "These people were all captured by the Soviets and sent to labor camps. If this war hadn't broken out, I'm afraid they would have faced endless labor until death.

I have an extreme hatred for the Soviets and I wish I could go to the battlefield to take revenge as soon as possible."

"Haha, that's good!"

Fang Zida smiled with satisfaction, and then said seriously: "Let Lu Langzhai's regiment stop immediately and assemble in Nizhny Tagil. At the same time, notify Tyumen that all the 100,000 labor reform regiments will be brought to Serov!"

"Zhang Ming, didn't you just say...?" Wu Peifu was suddenly startled. A few minutes ago, Fang Zida had promised not to let the labor reform corps go to Serov for attack missions, but in the blink of an eye, he ordered the labor reform corps from Tyumen to go to Serov. Could it be that he

Are you confused?

"Don't worry, listen to me." Fang Zida waved his hand and continued: "Notify Bai Jiansheng to withdraw his armored troops from Serov and join forces with Liu Zhi's 101st Division and Xiong Shihui's 102nd Division to attack Tagil and Lu Langzhai.

The armies converged. The battle of Serov was left to the rest of the Mongolian Army, Zhang Huchen's Far East Army and the Labor Reform Corps. They did not seek to occupy Serov, but only needed to firmly drag Frunze's more than 700,000 main force to the area of ​​Serov.

."

Wu Peifu thought thoughtfully, his eyes suddenly lit up, he walked a few steps to the map and stared at it. After a few minutes, he took a long breath and said: "Zhang Ming, your idea is not bad, but it is a bit risky.

."

"One person is short-term, and two people are long-term. Whatever Ziyu thinks, it doesn't matter."

Wu Peifu said solemnly: "I understand what you mean. You intend to abandon Serov and let some troops of the Mongolian Army plus the Far East Army and the Labor Reform Corps continue to assume a posture of attacking Serov to confuse the enemy. And the most elite of the Mongolian Army

The armored forces and the 101st and 102nd divisions will join up with Lu Langzhai’s army, concentrate their forces, turn around and head west, and go straight to Moscow, right?"

"Haha, brother Ziyu, thank you very much." Fang Zida smiled noncommittally.

Wu Peifu sighed: "This plan seems good, but Zhang Ming, the risk is too great. The group army composed of Bai Jiansheng, Liu Zhi, and Xiong Shihui, plus Lu Langzhai's army, is already the largest strength of our army.

Three-fifths of the enemy, from Nizhny Tagil to Moscow, is the enemy's most central hinterland. It will be very difficult to fight this way. Even if we hit Moscow, won't Stalin, the old boy, run away? Once he voluntarily abandons Moscow and relies on Russia

With the vast territory surrounding us, this strange army will be in trouble!"

"Ziyu, let me ask you a question, how likely is it that a group army composed of Lu Langzhai's army plus Bai Jiansheng, Liu Zhi, and Xiong Shihui can capture Moscow?"

"This..." Wu Peifu calculated secretly. If Serov's Red Army is really held back, with the strength and mobility of these troops, coupled with the support of the air force, it shouldn't be too big to reach Moscow.

Difficulty, even if it is possible to capture Moscow, the key is to capture Moscow, so what? Didn’t Napoleon also capture Moscow back then? But under the Russian’s tactics of fortifying the wall and clearing the country, didn’t it fail miserably in the end? According to the General Staff

Strategic plan, the tactics used by China in this war are odd and correct, but more positive than odd, but now Fang Zida is in danger!

Cautiously telling Fang Zida the inference, Wu Peifu tactfully persuaded Fang Zida not to do so. Even if the Far East government forces suffered excessive losses and Serov's battle situation reached a stalemate, after all, the advantage is still on China's side.

"Ziyu, what if I say that Stalin will not run away? He will stay in Moscow and defend it. If this is the case, what do you think of this tactic?"

"This...how is it possible! Is Stalin stupid? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Wu Peifu was stunned and his eyes widened in disbelief. He felt that Fang Zida's words were too taken for granted. War is not a hypothesis, it is based on assumptions.

It is impossible to establish a war in the past. When the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded, the Queen Mother and Lafayette ran to Xi'an. Could it be that Stalin was so stupid that he was even worse than the Empress Dowager Cixi? It would be foolish to wait for the Chinese to attack Moscow.
