Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 640: The Great Northeast Strategy——The First Show of the Navy

Zhukov felt very conflicted about Chen Feng, admiring and fearing him at the same time. This might be the general feeling that a general would have towards a God of War opponent!Peers are enemies, but only peers are the easiest to resonate with the soul.

As a soldier, especially the most senior commander, Zhukov admired Chen Feng, who was less than 30 years old and had less than 5 years of military experience, for achieving such an astonishing record.However, as a successful and great general, Zhukov has a very strong sense of urgency. He knows very well that the cooperation between the two sides is just forced by the situation. He instinctively felt a threat to Chen Feng, the Chinese god of war Zhukov.

For this meeting, Zhukov hoped that Chen Feng could actually get in touch with the Soviet Union's worries. After all, when the Western Front was in a tight spot, it was a waste of resources to station millions of troops on the Eastern Front. This was also the main purpose of Stalin's sending him here. Besides, These lands in the Far East will eventually be returned to China.

In the conference room, Chen Feng chatted with Zhukov and others for a while, and Zhukov suddenly asked: "Chen, from your actions in the northeast of your country, it seems that you are planning a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese Kwantung Army?"

"Hehe, that's true. Don't you, General, hate those Japanese?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

"I hate it, of course I hate it, hahaha! Chen, what you did is really satisfying, but it seems that your attack has been thwarted?" Zhukov said.

"No, no, no, it's just that no breakthrough has been made for the time being. As long as I want to, I can deal a fatal blow to those Japanese dwarves at any time!" Chen Feng said confidently.

"Is it true?" Zhukov asked suspiciously.

"It seems that Your Excellency General has some doubts about what I said, but it doesn't matter, please bring me a map of the Far East!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

Soon a staff officer brought over a panoramic map connecting the Northeast and the Far East, and Chen Feng was not polite, he spread the map directly on the huge solid wood coffee table, pointed at the map with a pencil and said: " Not long ago, our department wiped out 1 complete infantry division and 1 infantry brigade of the Japanese army here, and also wiped out more than 2 subordinate troops; 1 armored division, and also destroyed a logistics base of the Japanese army. In just over ten days of attack, our army wiped out a total of 1 Japanese troops and their vassal troops. Captured 1 Japanese lieutenant general and killed Japan 15 lieutenant generals and 1 major generals."

"Chen, although such a record is indeed astonishing. But according to what our intelligence agencies know, the Japanese Kwantung Army and the subordinate troops under its command have a strength of more than 100 million. In addition, hundreds of thousands of temporary troops can be recruited at any time, to be honest. The casualties of these 10,000+ troops mean nothing!" Zhukov said.

Chen Feng looked at Zhukov and said: "10,000+ casualties really don't explain anything, but we can analyze the composition of the Japanese Kwantung Army's combat power. Although the Kwantung Army Command clamored that the Kwantung Army had an army of 150 million, it can really be compared with my army. There are only more than 30 divisions in front of the Japanese army. As for the subordinate troops, the Japanese army has lost two field divisions and one equipment division, although the total strength only accounts for ten percent of the total strength of the Kwantung Army. about one-fifth of that of the Japanese army in terms of combat power."

"In addition, according to the news from our intelligence department, the main force of the Kwantung Army has gathered on the western front, and there are only about [-] troops on the eastern front. If we attack the Japanese army from here, here, and here at the same time, you What do you think will happen?" While speaking, Chen Feng pointed to several points on the map.

Zhukov and Ivanov could see clearly that these were the weakest points of the Japanese army's defense on the Eastern Front. Once Chen Feng's troops concentrated their forces to launch an attack on these points, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to hold back.

Chen Feng didn't care whether Zhukov, Ivanov and the others were overwhelmed, and continued: "As a friend, let me tell you one more piece of news. We have already deployed at least one infantry division's field strength here and here. Anyone who wants to Take these two important cities."

Chen Feng enjoyed the surprised eyes of Zhukov and Ivanov, and could surprise a famous general like Zhukov, and Chen Feng's self-inflated heart was greatly satisfied.

"Chen, according to your plan and analysis, the Japanese are sure to lose this time, so why do you want to visit the Far East?" Ivanov said with a frown.

"Haha, there are two main purposes for visiting the Far East. The first is to see how the quality of the Red Army in the Far East is and how effective it is? Are you qualified to be my ally? The second is to talk to you about receiving the Far East. In fact, I also I am very clear about your thoughts on the war in the Far East, anyway, the Far East must be returned, it is best not to get involved in the war between China and Japan, and just concentrate on dealing with the evil Germany."

"However, please don't forget that Germany and Japan are allies now, and they are also military alliances. Although the Japanese seem to be harmless to humans and animals, if you reverse the situation in Moscow, the Japanese will not allow you to fight back like this Besides, I am the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Asia Theater, so I have reason to know how effective the troops that will be under my command are, and whether they can undertake the most difficult tasks!"

Zhukov frowned and said, "Chen, what do you mean to say that if the combat effectiveness of the Far Eastern Red Army cannot be recognized by you, they are not even qualified to be under your command?"

"Yes, there is a saying that you probably haven't heard before. You are not afraid of an enemy as ruthless as a wolf, but a teammate as stupid as a pig. Sometimes a terrible enemy is not terrible. What is terrible is having a teammate who is always holding back , This is the most deadly." Chen Feng ignored Zhukov's ugly face and continued.

"Chen, are you doubting the combat effectiveness of the great Red Army?" Zhukov said with an ugly face.

"Zhu, it's not that I doubt it, but that your army's combat effectiveness is really not very good. In the first three months of the Soviet-German war, you lost a total of 300 million troops. Now that the Germans have reached Moscow, if Moscow defends If you can't win the war, then the Soviet Union, the world's third largest country, will probably collapse, don't doubt my words." Chen Feng said disdainfully.

"Chen, what you said is indeed true. We will not deny the poor performance at the beginning of the war, but now we have established a firm foothold, and we will win the final victory at the Moscow exhibition. Your Excellency, the great leader, is formulating a counterattack plan. Presumably there will be results soon." Zhukov said.

"Zhu, you and I are both soldiers, and we all know the importance of strategic command. What kind of army should be deployed where is a very serious issue, so I must be clear about the Red Army in the Far East. What kind of troops." Chen Feng said seriously.

"Chen, what are you going to do?"

"I need a military parade!" Chen Feng said.

"Military parade, how large is the military parade?"

"No less than 2 people!"

"This is not a problem, but such a large-scale military parade must not be hidden from the Japanese. It is very likely that Yinri's Kwantung Army will be alert by then?" Zhukov said.

"It doesn't matter, this is exactly what I want. Only when the Japanese are vigilant will they move more crazily. Now that the main force of the Japanese army is on the western front, it will be a big project to urgently transfer to the eastern front." Chen Feng said with a smile.

Under the discussion of Chen Feng and Zhukov, a large-scale military parade was scheduled to be held in Khabarovsk on October 10.

At 25 o'clock in the morning on the 12th, the military parade officially began. This time, the Soviet Red Army invested a total of 7 infantry battalions, 8 artillery and [-] armored phalanxes. In addition, cavalry, engineering, communication, medical and other related arms participated.

The military parade was very successful, at least Chen Feng thought it was a high-quality military parade, although in Chen Feng's eyes the weapons and equipment of the Soviet Red Army were relatively backward and could not be compared with the troops under his command, but in terms of fighting spirit and morale But he didn't lose the wind at all.

A few hours after the military parade ended, Chen Tiebao led the two divisions and one brigade and finally arrived in Khabarovsk on time. After seeing the latest mechanized troops under Chen Feng's command, Zhukov was not calm. They were too powerful. The two divisions and one brigade alone It is enough to be worth 10,000+ Soviet Red Army.

Subsequently, the two parties signed an agreement, agreeing that China and the Soviet Union would jointly launch an attack on the Japanese army, recover Northeast China, and remove the threat from the Soviet Far East.

On the second day after the signing of the agreement between the two parties, news came from the Nanyang Territory that the Chinese and Japanese navies had started to operate in the South Pacific.

Speaking of the Sino-Japanese naval battle, let’s talk about the US military. Although the US-Philippine army in Bataan has surrendered to the Japanese army, there is still a US-Philippine army on Koh Ke, including the US-Philippine Command.

Due to the agreement between Chen Feng and the United States, the Nanyang Territory must ensure the supplies and supplies of the American and Philippine troops on the island, so every day there will be at least one Chinese Nanyang Navy ship cruising in the South Pacific, using this as a base to send helicopters to the island. Ship supplies.

The Japanese side is also very concerned about this time, so they sent a large number of naval ships to search the surrounding waters in small formations.In this way, a destroyer of the Nanyang Navy encountered a small fleet composed of a cruiser of the Japanese Navy and 3 destroyers and 4 frigates in the Sulu Sea, and the battle began immediately.
