Years of the Republic of China 1913

Seeing everyone looking at him, Bai Chongxi said calmly: "If my guess is correct, this army is probably withdrawn from Serov, that is to say, it is part of Frunze, the Belarusian Front Army, and the Ukrainian Front Army."

"Can you confirm?" Lu Jianzhang asked immediately, squinting his eyes slightly.

Shaking his head slowly, Bai Chongxi said: "It is not certain yet, but judging from the information obtained so far, it is impossible for Stalin to gather so many troops in the northeast region. Even if he mobilizes reinforcements, he can only mobilize them from the west region. The air force reconnaissance shows that, The location where the enemy appeared was Rostov. The Battle of Serov had just ended not long ago. According to the battle reports from the friendly forces, Frunze led the main force to retreat northward before Serov was captured, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Combining the above points, I can only Come to the conclusion just now."

Everyone nodded slowly. What Bai Chongxi said was right. Now that Moscow was being attacked by the Chinese Communist Regiment, Stalin didn't have too many troops at hand, and with the successive victories of the Sino-Russian coalition forces, the entire front had been pushed to the front of Moscow. The Soviet Red Army rescue can only come from the west, and it is absolutely impossible to suddenly emerge from the northeast.In addition, the whereabouts of the main forces of the three front armies under Frunze's hands are unknown, so there is a great possibility that this army is the three front armies commanded by Frunze.

"What do the Mongolian Army do? They chase after the enemy and beat them without telling us in advance, otherwise the air force will accidentally discover the enemy's whereabouts, and it will be a big loss!"

The generals present whispered among each other, talking one after another. Although the Serov battle was won by one's own side, from a strategic point of view, the victory did not achieve the expected results.Frunze's three front armies suffered casualties, but the main force remained. The Chinese and Russian allied forces finally occupied only a city that was voluntarily abandoned by the enemy.Now, Fu Longzhi led the army and sneaked under his nose. Fortunately, he discovered it early.Otherwise, if the Northwest Army is caught off guard, it will not only lead to the failure of the Moscow campaign, but it will also bring the entire army into trouble.

"Jiansheng, you said that the troops that came out were Frunze's three front armies. As far as I know, Frunze's three front armies have a total of 75 troops. Although they lost a lot in Serov, the main force is still in the , so how many troops do you think the opponent should have now?" Lu Jianzhang frowned and thought for a while, then asked.

"The Air Force's telegram said that about 30 troops were assembled and moved in Rostov. I think this figure should be credible." It is impossible for the whole army to remain intact. Based on the estimate of the opponent’s main force of 15, nearly half of them arrived in Rostov, which is 60. From this point of view, this number is different from that of the Air Force The reconnaissance is basically close. Of course, we must take into account the enemy's follow-up forces. Based on what I know about Frunze, he is an excellent general of the Red Army. He is flexible and multilateral, and he is very difficult to deal with."

The meeting place fell silent again. Although Bai Chongxi and others were the only ones present who had exchanged with Frunze, everyone still knew the situation of the Serov battle.If Frunze hadn't knocked out the main force of the Far East government army in a sudden and unexpected way, I am afraid that Serov would have been taken down long ago.As for later, the strategic deployment of the Northwest Army to bypass Serov and go straight to Moscow can be implemented.The main reason also lies in Frunze.

Frunze's troops suddenly appeared in the Rostov area, which posed a problem for Lu Jianzhang.The Northwest Army plus Bai Chongxi's armored division, as well as Liu Zhi's 101st Division and Xiong Shihui's 102nd Division dispatched from the Mongolian Army, and some troops were added one after another.The total force is now in the early 30s. Although Stalin's army of one million is fighting hard, it still has the upper hand. Judging from the current situation, the problem of taking Moscow is not a big problem, let alone the Mongolian army and the Far East government. After the rest, they have rushed to Moscow quickly, and there are still 12 domestic reinforcements on the way, once these troops arrive.Stalin, even with three heads and six arms, couldn't hold Moscow.

But now, Frunze's 30 troops suddenly appeared, which made the battle situation suddenly complicated.You must know that the troops under Frunze are different from the cannon fodder troops temporarily formed by Moscow. They are the real elite of the Red Army.To put it bluntly, Fulongzhi's 30 troops are even more difficult to deal with than the million-dollar Red Army that Lu Jianzhang is facing now.An accidental defeat in the Battle of Moscow is a trivial matter, and if it fails, the entire Northwest Army will be involved.

Should we attack Moscow first or deal with Frunze's three fronts first?This is an extremely difficult decision.Once the attack on Moscow is stopped, the whole army must first attack Frunze to give Stalin a chance to breathe.With the madness of the Bolsheviks, they are likely to organize millions of cannon fodder troops in a short period of time. In this way, even if Frunze is defeated, the Chinese Communist Regiment will lose the best opportunity to capture Moscow.

It would be almost risky to continue to use the main force to attack Moscow regardless of Frunze.As a general who has fought for half his life, it is absolutely impossible for Lu Jianzhang to take such a risk.There is another more important problem, that is, if Frunze's troops and the defenders in Moscow join forces smoothly, it will not only increase the morale of the Red Army, but also make the next battle more and more difficult to fight. What kind of person Long Zhi is, training soldiers with cannon fodder is his specialty. It can be said that the longer this battle is delayed, the more problematic it will be for China.

"Boss, let the Air Force fuck them and burn these bastards to death with napalm!"

"Damn! Boss, this army is too much of a threat to our army, we must act first. I suggest immediately requesting the Air Force to bomb the enemy!"

"That's right! Let the Air Force brothers go out immediately and burn these bastards to death!"

"It's better to strike first, and the next to suffer, boss!"

Everyone thinks about the problems Lu Jianzhang is thinking about. Faced with the current situation, the problems must be solved as soon as possible.At the same time, everyone remembered the power of the napalm bombs used by the air force before. Since the enemy is gathering and moving south, let's take this opportunity to give them a taste.

Lu Jianzhang is not a kind person. He was used to killing people as early as the Beiyang period, and he is even more lenient in leading troops now.Although the central government clearly told the front-line troops to be cautious in using napalm bombs, the current situation is already very dangerous, and no matter what the consequences are, they must bomb the enemy with napalm bombs as soon as possible.What's more, the central government only prohibited him from using napalm in Moscow, but did not restrict him from using it in other places.Immediately, Lu Jianzhang immediately decided to contact the Air Force Command immediately, and asked the Air Force to dispatch bombers to bomb the enemies that appeared in the north.

Although the army and the air force are not under each other's control, Lu Jianzhang's face as the commander-in-chief of the front line must still be given, not to mention what the appearance of this force means, the air force is of course very clear.After receiving Lu Jianzhang's bombing request, the Air Force quickly made arrangements. Six hours after the enemy was discovered, the bomber formation at the air force base quickly set off to the location where the enemy was found.

That afternoon, Lu Jianzhang finally waited for the reply that the air force had already attacked.A hanging heart finally fell down.However, he was not careless at this time. In order to prevent accidents, he began to mobilize the army to search north. In addition to Jia Zongrang's troops, Lu Jianzhang also took out the two ace troops of the 101st and 102nd divisions and placed them in the north.

The air force's bombers flew over the target after an hour's flight, but to the air force's surprise, they did not find the large enemy traces they had previously scouted.After circling tens of kilometers above the sky for nearly half an hour, they found a few troops of thousands of people in action, which made the menacing bomber formation dumbfounded.

Under the command of the commander, the brigades and squadrons continued to scatter around to search for the enemy, but they still couldn't find where the main force of the enemy was until the sun was about to set.At this time, the aircraft's fuel was almost exhausted, and the commander had no choice but to issue an order to bomb on the spot.
