The topic of discussion on a wide range of discussions quickly fell into two issues: it is to know ten thousand, and the second is to transport materials.

Mu Yong doubted that neither of these problems was easy to solve.

As mentioned earlier, in order to paralyze the opponent and create the illusion that the Republic focuses on the Far East, the Army only invested 2 combat units in Central Asia, and only one main combat unit. Although before the outbreak of the war, several combat units entered the northwest region, and even the first combat unit and the Dili combat unit deployed in South Asia had gone north and entered northern Pakistan, in order to make the Russian army fool, before that, except for the first combat unit and the northern Pakistan, several other combat units were far away from the war zone, and the tenth combat unit was on its way to the northeast.

That is to say, in the short term, the first combat unit can only be dispatched without using strategic transportation forces. More importantly, from Pakistan, it is necessary to cross the Pamir Plateau and the Tianshan Mountains, but also to obtain permission from Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. Neither of these countries announced their participation in the war has been guaranteed to join the war with Russia after the Russian army was driven out of Kazakhstan. Tajikistan requires that Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan announce the first combat unit to the battlefield in time. In this way, if you want to add combat troops to the Central Asian theater, you have to use strategic transportation forces.

,Ten thousand

In response to this issue, the General Staff proposed a more feasible solution, namely, air transport for personnel and ground transport for equipment.

According to the combat plan formulated by the General Staff, with the purpose of the campaign to wipe out one of the main tributaries of the Tobor River Ob River to the southern part of the Western Siberian Plain in the Ural Mountains, even if the Ninth Combat Unit and the Fee Combat Unit will not be withdrawn, the main combat units and four combat units, namely nearly 200,000 ground troops will be required. If the deployment is to be completed within the time of the Bud, large civil aviation aircraft will be requisitioned. The large airport or air force base in the northern region of Kazakhstan will be controlled to ensure the order of the frame within the time of the Bud.

The number of flights taken off and landings in the Republic. Because the number of civil flights in the Republic exceeds the warm port frame, among which the carrying capacity exceeds the concave people and the maximum range exceeds that of Dankang kilometers has many large passenger aircraft. In addition, major airlines have signed emergency recruitment agreements with the government, and the country has entered a state of war, so it is not difficult to requisition assisted civil aviation aircraft. Judging from the situation at that time, if it were not for the limited number of airports in the northern region of Kazakhstan and the throughput capacity were not strong, some cargo aircraft could also be requisitioned to transport weapons and equipment to the front line.

Relatively speaking, the problem of transporting troops is not big.

The main problem is how to use the weapons and equipment of a combat unit.

It's okay to say that the umbrella combat unit deployed in the northwest region. For the tenth umbrella combat unit, because he had long considered going to Central Asia to fight, when making strategic feints, his main combat equipment was left in the arsenal in the northern part of Xinjiang, and all he took away was a fake equipment pieced together with plates. In this way, only 20,000 officers and soldiers who arrived in Lanzhou and 10,000 newly recruited officers and soldiers gathered in Chongqing were needed to send them to the northern border, and the tenth combat unit could form combat effectiveness and go to the battlefield by itself.

The key is to add new deployment planers and combat units.

On this test issue, Pei Chengyi's initial idea was to reduce the scale of the offensive, reduce the investment in troops, and allow the other four combat units to participate in the war in the form of reinforcements.

After discussion, Pei Chengyi had to admit that he had considered this issue too simply.

According to Yuan Chenhao's analysis, even if the right-wing attack was abandoned, the ground troops set out from Costanai. After crossing the Kazakhstan-Russia border, they headed north along the eastern side of the southern Ural Mountains, attacked Talyabinsk directly, and with the ultimate goal of capturing Yekaterin Arbor, they abandoned Kurgan and Tyumen in the east. The frontal attack alone requires the use of a combat unit. Because the Russian army will definitely launch an attack on the west bank of the Ural River to prevent the Republic's army from heading north. Therefore, the ninth combat unit deployed in West Kazakhstan Prefecture and the second-largest combat unit that is preparing for the forced crossing of the Caspian Sea could not participate in the north attack operation. More importantly, going directly north is equivalent to exposing the right wing of the front line to the Russian West Siberian Front, and

Before this, the Russian army had always believed that the Republic's army would go north from the northeastern region of Kazakhstan, first occupying Barnaul, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Kmerov and Novositsk to the east of Omsk, and then lifting the threats to the local northwest region, then attacking the eastern Ural Mountains in the west. Therefore, the main force of the Russian army has been deployed in Omsk. In other words, even if the troops do not send troops to capture Tyumen and Kurgan, they have to build a defense line in the east of the front and retain a sufficiently powerful reserve team. Because the most favorable defense line in the east is through the Tobor River in Tyumen and Kurgan, they can actively capture Tyumen and Kurgan. Instead, they can save a lot of troops and reduce defensive pressure.

To put it bluntly, adding 8 new combat units is already the minimum investment.

Obviously, Pei Chengyi cannot not understand this truth.

In fact, there is no way to reduce the investment in troops. Judging from the situation at that time, the most effective way to reduce the investment in troops was to change the direction of the offensive, return to the old road, and fight a head-on decisive battle with the main Russian troops in the east of Omsk. This was not entirely beneficial. From the actual situation, it could at least consume the Russian army's vitality. It would weaken the overall combat effectiveness of the Russian army, and sweep the Siberia and the Far East to make a good start, and also reduce the threat to the local northwest region. The problem is that doing so will definitely extend the time of the war, allowing the Russian army to rush to the velvet and consolidate the "Ural Defense Line" and make the next attack extremely difficult, and it will even be blocked in the east of the Ural Mountains and the Ural River, missing the best opportunity to march into Moscow.

It can be said that in the long run, we must not "go back".

To this end, Pei Chengyi approved the combat plan formulated by the General Staff Department, which only required the use of troops as reasonably as possible, that is, the four combat units that could not be deployed in time were arranged as reserve teams, and through adjustments to tactics, the subjective initiative of the front-line offensive troops was fully utilized.

Objectively speaking, the biggest problem at that time was not how to draw up the main combat equipment of a combat unit and send it to it.

,Ten thousand

According to Yuan Chenhao's plan, when investing in old combat units and frontal attacks, at least three combat units must be left behind. Because the tenth combat unit is involved in frontal attacks, and the fierce combat unit that is in line with it, it is well known that the tenth combat unit is the ace of the Republic's Army. It is a unit brought out by Li Dongshi, the current commander of the Middle East War Zone. Its predecessor is the famous Airborne Brigade. In all previous wars, this unit has performed amazingly and has played a combat power beyond ordinary, so as long as tactics can be arranged reasonably, and the frontline combat units have greater freedom. Even if there are few combat units, it will not have much impact on the frontal attack.

It can be said that the biggest problem is how to send supplies to the front line.

As we all know, in the wars that led to the century, the Republic's Army's material consumption speed has been rising steadily. With the full equipment of the new generation of electromagnetic guns, the material consumption speed must have increased a lot. In the past, the wars were abundant, because most of the time they were fighting in coastal areas, even in the inland, they could rely on railway lines and highway lines to ensure the supply of materials. Even in some special circumstances, such as the northern front of the Middle East War, the battlefield was nearly 1,000 kilometers away from the nearest port, and there was no railway line, and the road traffic was not developed. The Republic's Army could also rely on a large-scale Allies to ensure the material.

The supply of funds. At that time, the number of troops in Iran, Iraq and Syria, which were responsible for transporting materials in the rear, was the same as the total force of the Republic's army that fought on the front line! Obviously, the basic conditions in Central Asia were much harsh. The northern part of Kazakhstan was vast and sparsely populated. Even if there was a crisscrossing highway network and several railway lines, the density of railway lines and highway lines was astonishingly low than the vast range, and the infrastructure of stations in various places was very backward. More importantly, Kazakhstan had less than ten thousand people, and most of them were concentrated in the southern region, so the human resources that could be mobilized and requisitioned were very limited.

According to the estimates of the General Staff, if the railways and highways are completely relied on, the situation in Central Asia will be in a quiet manner. In order to protect tens of millions of ground troops, at least 40,000 logistics support personnel are needed. Kazakhstan can only provide up to 10,000,000, and the other 10,000 are non-military personnel. In other words, the Republic must urgently mobilize 10,000 logistics support personnel. Although based on the Republic's population base, there is no problem in mobilizing 10,000 people. However, the war mobilization network begins, and the first mobilization is the combatants. The mobilization work of non-combatants can only start at mid-month and receive results by the end of February. With the mobilization and distribution, it will not be possible to deploy logistics support personnel to Kazakhstan until mid-March.

In fact, this is also the main reason why the Republic's military's feints in the Northeast can achieve results.

Of course, there is no way to solve it.

In response to this problem, Yuan Chenhao only proposed one solution, that is, to mobilize the strategic and tactical air transport forces of the entire army. After entering Russia, in addition to ensuring the front-line offensive forces, the first thing to do is to send support brigades to ensure that the air transport can be in place in time. The artillery brigades of each combat unit are deployed in the northern area of ​​Kazakhstan near airports or air bases to make full use of railway transportation capacity and reduce air transport pressure.

Obviously, this is the only solution.

In order to prove that this method is feasible, Yuan Chenhao also came up with a set of calculation data. The old combat unit has a total port of various vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft, and the Japanese air transport capacity is close to 100 million tons of tons. In other words, when transporting combat materials to a zone with a force of 4,000 meters, each transport aircraft can fly 4 times a day and transport tons of materials. The Hisbasket transport aircraft can transport materials within the sky. In addition to tactical transport aircraft, there are also strategic transport aircraft that can be mobilized, and the Japanese air transport capacity of these transport aircraft exceeds 1,000 tons of tons of kilometers, which can be used as a result.

In the sky, about 10,000 tons of old materials will be sent to the battlefield kilometer away from Liankou. Even if the maximum combat dispatch rate is calculated, the material consumption in the sky will not exceed 10,000 tons. Including the ninth combat unit, the combat units fighting on the front line will not exceed 10,000 tons. Including the artillery brigades of other combat units will indirectly participate in the battle, and the maximum material consumption will not exceed 10,000 tons per day. According to the high-intensity combat time of the day in the early stage of the battle, you only need to spend an hour before the battle begins to ensure the smooth completion of the battle.

Although this calculation is completely accurate and ideal, the difference from reality is not too strong.

In Yuan Chenhao's words, for the sake of safety, the pre-war preparation time can be extended to 10,000 hours, that is, transporting 40,000 tons of combat materials to the front line before the attack begins. In this way, even if the material consumption in the early stage of the battle exceeds 10,000 tons of fields per day and the fierce battle time exceeds the day, it can be ensured that there is no accident.

Pei Chengyi did not raise any objections to this. He only asked one question, namely, how to ensure that the Russian army will not adjust its defense deployment within this hour. In other words, how to ensure that the Russian army will not see through the battle attempts of the Republic Army due to large-scale material transportation?

It can be said that this is a more important issue than transporting materials.

In any case, the main force of the Russian army is in Omsk. Even if the army aviation and the sky army are fully dispatched to prevent the Russian army from moving westward, the Russian army can strengthen the defense strength in the east of Ural Shandong within an hour. In fact, the Russian army does not even need to mobilize troops on a large scale. As long as the defensive forces of Chelyabinsk and Kurgan enter the state in advance, it can have a significant impact on the offensive actions of the Republic's army.

In fact, this is also the main reason for restricting the Republic's army from bypassing Omsk and directly attacking Yekaterin Arbor.

No matter who it is, it is impossible to easily overcome the problems caused by spatial distance.

I have to say that in terms of military talent alone, Yuan Chenhao is indeed no worse than Pei Chengyi.

Regarding the head of state's question, the Chief of Staff gave a very simple answer, that is, let the ninth combat unit launch an attack in advance, and at the same time, let the first combat unit prepare to cross the Caucasus Sea. It is stance to march to the inland Caucasus region with all its might. According to Yuan Chenhao, as long as the battle in the lower reaches of the Ural River begins, the Russian army will fight desperately, and the ninth combat unit has been fighting on the front line for 6 days. Even if the intensity of the combat in the early stage is not high, it is not even considered a battle, the officers and soldiers are relatively tired and have combat effectiveness.

The decline is normal, and it is not incomprehensible that the Republic Army mobilized combat units to the front line at this time and transported combat materials. More importantly, a strong attack on the inner Caucasus region is equivalent to announcing that it will not go north to occupy Ekaterin Arbor, which can also make the Russian army make wrong judgments. Of course, the most important point is to create a chaos, which makes the Russian army's intelligence agencies unable to accurately judge the combat materials hoarded by the Republic's army on the front line, and it will not be able to judge the combat intentions of the Republic's army.

To put it simply, it is just fishing for troubled waters.

From another perspective, if Pei Chengyi did not think of this method, it was obviously impossible. It can be said that from the beginning of the ninth combat unit and the first combat unit entering Kazakhstan, Yuan Chenhao's intention was very clear, that is, to use two combat units to create chaos, to advance westward to attract the attention of the Russian army, and to create benefits for the later investment in the main force to launch a comprehensive attack.

noodle.

This is why Pei Chengyi raised this question, which must have other purposes.

After Yuan Chenhao gave the answer, Pei Chengyi raised a new question, namely how long it took to complete the battle.

Obviously, this is Pei Chengyi’s real purpose.

Faced with this problem, Yuan Chenhao did not hesitate and gave an answer that was enough to satisfy Pei Chengyi on the spot: Month. More importantly, the purpose of the battle given by Yuan Chenhao was not to occupy Yekaterin Arbor, but to capture Orenburg and cross the Ural River.

Now, even Pei Chengyi was a little suspicious that Yuan Chenhao was not overconfident.

, Can

After the war and insurance, Chengyi did not kill the time so much, so he gave Yuan Chenhao and Feng Tian. That is, Feng Tian captured Orenburg within Feng Tian after the battle began. Because the battle plan was proposed by Yuan Chenhao. Before that, the Republic did not set up a Central Asian theater, Pei Chengyi immediately appointed Yuan Chenhao as the commander-in-chief of the mainland battlefield, and the Chief of Staff personally led the combat operations in the direction of Russia.

Yuan Chenhao didn't think there was anything to be happy about this arrangement.

The reason is very simple. After becoming the "Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Battlefield", Yuan Chenhao's identity as chief of staff was weakened, so he had to hand over some of the rights and responsibilities that originally belonged to the Chief of Staff to the General Staff. As we all know, Pei Chengyi is the highest leader of the country, the supreme commander of the Republic's army, and a supreme commander who is proficient in war. Therefore, after Yuan Chenhao went to command the mainland battlefield, Pei Chengyi was the direct leader of the General Staff.

It can be said that this is Pei Chengyi's fundamental purpose.

Of course, Yuan Chenhao had nothing to say about Pei Chengyi's arrangement. No matter what, he got the ground war he wanted. Moreover, it was only a matter of time for the head of state to take over the General Staff, and as the Chief of General Staff, it was only a matter of time before he handed over military command.

In fact, if you look at it a little longer, you can find that Pei Chengyi seized military command from Yuan Chenhao, and another more important purpose was to change the focus of the war and no longer focus on the mainland battlefield. With the situation at that time, the real main battlefield was on the Pacific Ocean to the east, not the Siberian Plain to the north. Because Yuan Chenhao always advocated defeating Russia first and then dealing with the United States, Pei Chengyi was unlikely to let Yuan Chenhao command the Republic's army. Without any choice, Pei Chengyi could only take on the heavy burden himself.
