Rebirth of the National Marshal

Wang Zhonghua's battle plan was very simple. The 7th Security Regiment was in the center, the 8th Regiment was on the left wing, and the 9th Regiment was on the right wing. The three regiments were deployed in a V-shape to directly kill the Soviet and Mongolian troops that rushed in.

What makes Wang Zhonghua stronger than the Soviet army, apart from weapons and equipment, is their logistical supply system. The logistics of the Soviet Far East Military District have always been very poor. They have to carry nearly half a month's worth of stuff when they go into battle. But Wang Zhonghua is different. More than a thousand vehicles are constantly transporting various things to the front line.

In addition, the Chahar Air Force also sent a flying brigade to provide support, which would hover over the troops at all times and be commanded by radio. If air force support was needed anywhere, a call could be made at any time.

"Why do I feel that this time Hu Lian gave me a big gift by recommending me to be the current commander-in-chief?" Wang Zhonghua said after inspecting the front-line positions. There were only some staff officers he brought from the Guangxi warlords at the headquarters, and the staff officers from the Chahar Military Region had not arrived yet.

"How can this be considered a gift, Commander? You have to know that the army facing us is the Russians, who are more ferocious than the Japanese." The combat staff officer who came with him had just been studying some strategies on the map and had not been to the front line to take a look. If he had gone to the front line to take a look, he would probably have thought that he was here to receive a gift.

"You kid didn't go to the front line just now. Go and look at this line of defense. Let alone 10 Soviet soldiers, even 30 of them can't break this line of defense. There are heavy artillery bombarding at the back, and there is a heavy machine gun less than meters in front. There are mines, mortars and all kinds of things arranged in stages. I don't believe that the Soviets are all gods. If they can get through this line of defense, it would be really incredible." Wang Zhonghua has this confidence for a reason. Such firepower configuration is comparable to that of the US military at the end of World War II, not to mention the Soviet army that is short of clothes and artillery.

He thought it would be a fierce battle, but after looking at the weapons and equipment, he realized that it would be a one-sided massacre.

According to the air force reconnaissance report, the most powerful firepower on the Soviet side is the 76mm mountain artillery, and there are not many of them. Apart from that, there is no other heavy firepower. Moreover, most of the troops rely on walking and there is not much mechanization. They may be stunned in their first charge and then start to retreat.

This side has basically achieved semi-mechanized advance, so it is very easy to catch up with them. Moreover, in the process of pursuit, it is necessary to expand the results of the battle. Finally, she predicted that the Soviet retreat would definitely turn into a rout, which means that in about 3 days, he would be able to wipe out this entire army.

Most of the staff officers found it hard to believe his idea, because in their impression, the Soviets were very powerful and their individual combat capabilities were also very strong. However, Wang Zhonghua did not think so. There might be some elite troops in the Soviet Union, but they would definitely not be the ones in front of him. The center of the Soviet Union was in Europe, not in Asia. The fact that they allowed you to serve in Asia was enough to show that you were not someone they valued.

A document regarding the weapons configuration of the Soviet army was also issued. Most of the good weapons were in the Soviet Central Military District. The weapons configuration of the Far Eastern Military District could be said to be the worst. At this time, they had not yet felt the threat from the Japanese. In the original society, they had not begun to replace their troop equipment with new equipment, but only began to replace their equipment a year later.

The top brass of the Soviet military were so arrogant and underestimated the enemy. Moreover, these people were originally political commissars and not military chiefs at all. They became military chiefs only after the military chiefs were ousted by them. They had no military qualities at all.

In their eyes, as long as the soldiers are willing to fight hard, there is no war that cannot be won. As long as you are not afraid of death, you can win the war. They don’t consider the gap between the two sides at all, and there is no such thing as military strategy.

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, the vanguard scouts of the Mongolian Cavalry Regiment could be seen, so the soldiers were put into level one combat readiness. For them, this trip was not just a single victory or defeat, but the first challenge as a backward country to an advanced country.

Originally, the Soviets did not want to have such a big conflict with the Chinese army, because they could feel that the biggest enemy in the Far East was the Japanese rather than the Chinese. It would be of no benefit to both sides to have a conflict with the Chinese at this time.

But in Mao Yuanshan's opinion, the Soviets and the Japanese are the same. Don't even mention that you come to find trouble with me. Even if you don't come to find me, I will come to find you when I have time.

The central government did not want to cause such a big conflict. After all, the biggest enemy at the moment was the Japanese. But Mao Yuanshan did not think so. It did not matter whether he fought one or two. Since he was going to rise, the Japanese and the Soviets should be his stepping stones.

The Soviets are basically about to give a victory speech in Europe. They want to defeat the backward Chinese and let the ignorant Chinese know that even if you defeat the Japanese now, you cannot challenge European civilization.

Although other European countries supported the Chahar local forces, they had basically anticipated the outcome of this war. The Soviet army was inferior to the armies of European countries, but it was much stronger than the Chinese army.

As the company commander of the artillery company of the 7th Regiment in Bao'an District, Li Qiang is now the chief artillery commander of the entire front-line area.

Three artillery companies, plus a heavy artillery company for rear support, formed a temporary artillery regiment.

With 36 105mm howitzers, this was already the heavy equipment possessed by a US Army division at the end of World War II.

Not to mention the current Soviet army, even when they were about to attack Germany they did not have that much heavy equipment.

"Brothers, our mission is very simple, which is to fire these 600 shells in the shortest time possible." Li Qiang said, pointing at the shells unloaded from the vehicle.

As long as the enemy enters the firing range, the task of their artillery company is to quickly suppress the enemy and cause chaos.

Anyway, the Soviets did not have large-caliber artillery, so they were still very safe. They would teach the enemy a lesson with steel. This was what Mao Yuanshan told them.
