Chapter 350: Quietly Entering the Village
.
It is easy to enter the village quietly, but it is too difficult to implement it. A few times to talk about how many troops are used, just to prepare in advance to prepare for the replacement of defense and garrison so many troops, which is not so easy and simple to complete, not to mention the later supply transfer.
However, it does not mean that Duan Guoxue took this place for so long, that he did not prepare in advance. Although the railways and highways built from Lanzhou consumed huge amounts of money, such investment can now reflect the return 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 in the connection between these provinces and other provinces. Local agricultural and industrial products can be transported in large quantities, so the profits brought by sales also stimulated the development of the local economy.
When attacking Gansu, some people 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. The resources on this land were rich. Although it would not only cost huge money and materials to develop these resources from here, the biggest difference between doing and not doing is that one day it will be rewarded. If you don't do it, it means there will never be any reward. The thing about the pie falling out of thin air in the sky will not happen, but the thing about the tall building will be like Cong Xiang who is lying on the bed.
This passage is what Yimu remembered when he wrote about the days when he was regaining the Yumen Oilfield in Gansu, someone scolded Yimu in the book review for not going into the water to start construction. Now, when he thinks about it, Yimu is still speechless. After so many years of preparation, the northwest is no longer the same as before. The continuous improvement of basic transportation in the northwest has greatly improved transportation capacity, especially the railway connecting the northwest, which has become the artery connecting here.
With the support of the transportation artery, large-scale transportation has become much easier. Before the troops moved, food and grass were first taken. For Duan Guoxue's westward advance, a large number of supply warehouses had been established here, and trains were transporting a large number of supplies to fill the huge space in these warehouses.
At the same time, the construction of the Yumen Oilfield developed here has also begun to pay off. A large amount of oil is mined from the ground and processed by refining plants, and it becomes a nearby transport of various oil materials to the troops to come. Although the industrial zones in Lanzhou are much smaller in scale than other industrial zones, various types of ammunition can be produced here. In later generations, Lanzhou is also a gathering place for military-industrial enterprises. For nothing else, it is just to consider the logistics support for war in depth. In this time and space, Lanzhou is not only an important place for logistics support for large depths, but also an important transit station for China's westward plan.
Duan Guoxue's plan to advance west was more crazy and amazing than the battle in the Far East. In fact, that battle was 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, and at the same time focus the Soviet Union's defense focus was concentrated near Lake Berga. Although the Soviet Union made a decisive defensive attitude here, Duan Guoxue really didn't want to join the troops to fight with them here. Defense is always easier than offense, and casualties will be much less than offense, especially the gap between the weapons and equipment of the two sides. Even so, Duan Guoxue was still unwilling to eat the Soviet army here head-on. Although the Soviet army that took Lake Berga would not be too difficult, what about the casualties? What about the supplies and ammunition consumed? These numbers will definitely not be small numbers.
Anyway, when fighting the Soviet Union, fighting the Far East, fighting from Xinjiang to the central part of the Soviet Union, there are also two benefits to fighting from here. One is that the Soviet Union placed key troops and equipment in the area of Lake Berga, which was easier and simple to fight. The second is that cutting off the central part can also cause the Soviet army to lose its support and collapse; but another advantage is for the Germans. Giving the Soviets from here will definitely hurt the Soviet Union's vitality and chaos. Taking this place will threaten the Soviet Union's European region, which will definitely make the Soviet Union's bearded sleep and eat, hehe, and it will kill a few.
At the same time, 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. He accepted these countries with a selfless mind and provided a lot of assistance to these countries. However, in the Stalin era, due to Stalin's personal likes and dislikes, some very outrageous secret decrees were implemented. 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, these countries would immediately declare their independence from the Soviet Union.
The land of the five Western Asian countries has a large amount of rich mineral resources and heart-warming oil. In later generations, oil will always be a devil, which makes this small world full of war. Owning oil means having wealth and the right to call the world. Even if Duan Guoxue makes China a technological power, without oil, high-tech weapons still cannot be activated. Don’t simply think that the nuclear power is consolidated to allow oil to stand aside. Large ships can use nuclear power. What about the aircraft seven grams? What about the automobile?
Therefore, Duan Guoxue wants to take over this place not only for the land, but more profound 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 army as much as possible. 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.
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 wrapped in camouflage cloth as usual, but instead installed temporary guardrails 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 11th Army with the latest establishment time. The 11th Army was relatively close to the eight armies established later, but they were slightly less heavy armed. What’s more special is that half of the soldiers in this army were local soldiers recruited from Lanzhou, Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi and Gansu. Although these local soldiers were much worse in cultural quality, the courage of the people here should not be underestimated. Moreover, after taking over this long time, the people began to turn to support the new government, so another reward of investment was 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 the Soviet Union. In addition to this army, Duan Guoxue also prepared the first and third army to attack the Soviet Union. It was the most troublesome thing to regroup these two ace army.
First of all, it is not easy to withdraw these two armies from the battlefield in the Far East. There are so many people and so many equipment. At the same time, it is necessary to consider that the Third Army is still confronting the Soviet Union, so how to change defenses quietly is not easy. Also, after replacing these people and equipment from the positions in the Far East, they have to pack them onto the train in batches and then transport them to the northwest of China from thousands of miles away. The process caused the officials in charge of logistics to lose a lot of hair and die a lot of brain cells.
Entering the village quietly, this is easy to say, but it is difficult to deal with.
But what we have to admire is that such a difficult thing was really done by the Chinese soldiers. With the efforts of the logistics department and the cooperation of the two army soldiers, the troops and equipment of the two army were quietly replaced from the Far East. What should the newly-topped troops and the Soviet troops do? After a while of fighting and quarrel, the Soviets were happy to calm down like this. 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 like money-free.
Smash it over. The caliber is not only large in size, but also has a very powerful power. 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 is possible to calm down for a while means that they can win a while. Taking advantage of this time, the Soviets stepped up the construction of the fortifications and defense systems in this area. However, they didn't know that Duan Guoxue didn't want to eat the place at all, but wanted to cut off the connection between the place and the rear. Like in the Far East, starve the people here to death and waste them to death!
After nearly three months of defense change and assembly, so far, judging from the mobilization of the Soviet troops returned from the satellite investigation, the Soviets did not know what was happening here. Except for 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 speed of the train cannot be greatly accelerated like in later generations.
The benefits of speeding up not only bring about time reduction, but also another benefit is to improve transportation capacity in the same time period. For example, taking a train from Nanning to Beijing now takes three days, three nights and seventy-two hours, while only 24 kilograms and hours after speeding up in later generations means that within 72 hours, the transportation capacity before speeding up is three times lower than after speeding up.
