Chapter 8 Pearl Harbor in the East (2)
"Comrade Yakovrevic," Chu Sinan asked, "How are your air force's preparations? Will that piece of information help you develop a detailed combat plan?"
"General, our preparations are ready," Yakovrevic stood up and walked to the huge war zone map under Chu Sinan's instructions. "The information provided by the comrades of the Security Committee is undoubtedly very valuable. If this information is accurate, then I am sure that all the Japanese air forces will be paralyzed on the first day of the battle."
"Tell me about your plan." Chu Sinan turned his head and said happily.
Yakovrevic's eyes turned to the war zone map, thought for a while, and then began to elaborate on his plan.
According to Yakovlevic's plan, the sudden air strike this time was divided into five directions and three batches. When the first wave of offensive was launched, the first batch of aircraft were two mixed formations composed of fighter jets and dive bombers. The two formations were dispatched from the Sea Cucumber Air Force Base at 10:30 am on the day of the attack and 10:45 am. The former went south to attack the Japanese air base in Shenyang, while the latter rushed straight to Jilin and destroyed the Japanese air base there. At the same time, the three mixed formations dispatched by the direction of Nansakhalinsk and Gongqingcheng also took off at 10:25 and 10:35 respectively. Their target was Harbin.
Yakovrevich had calculated several times with the combat staff that according to the speed of the Soviet Air Force fighter jets, the first wave of lift-off fighter jets in all directions. When entering the Manchurian airspace, it happened to be 11:00 am that day. At this time, the radar of the Japanese Air Force base happened to be off, and their patrol aircraft had just landed. Therefore, this period is the time when the Japanese Air Force ground crew is most relaxed. During this period of time, the Japanese planes should not receive an alarm for the organization's lift-off defense in advance.
In Yakovlevic's view, the best annihilation battle in the air force duel is to directly destroy the opponent's planes on the ground and prevent them from having the opportunity to take off and defend.
It is also to achieve this goal. Yakovlevic decided to let the first batch of bombers and dive bombers deployed, all carrying high-explosive bombs with strong destructive power to ground facilities. At the same time, they had only one target.
As we all know, in the process of raiding enemy air bases, there are many airport targets that need to be attacked, such as oil depots, ammunition depots, hangars, command towers, radar stations, etc. The role of using incendiary bombs to deal with these targets is far better than high-explosive bombs. However, Yakovlevic believes that in this raid, these originally considered primary targets are not important. On the contrary, the runway on the Japanese airport is the first facility he wants to destroy, and the effect of high-explosive bombs is obviously better against the runway.
"Before the enemy can react, they will destroy all their airport runways, so that even if they react, they will not be able to take the plane into the air. As long as this step is done, then from now on, we will be able to place our air supremacy firmly over their airport." Yakovlevī is a very decisive and decisive air force commander. This can be perfectly reflected in his plan.  ̄ ̄'s absolute possession of air supremacy is reflected in the enemy's air base. This is his strategic idea. It is obvious that if the enemy cannot even guarantee air supremacy over his airport, the outcome of the air combat will be obvious.
According to Yakovlevic's plan, the second wave of air offensive should be launched one after another within thirty minutes after the first wave of offensive was launched. Unlike the mixed formations of the first wave of offensive, the air force that launched the second wave of offensive was completely a dive bomber carrying incendiary bombs, and their offensive target was the anti-aircraft artillery air defense positions in various Japanese airports.
"After destroying the enemy's airport runway, they knocked off their anti-aircraft guns and air defense capabilities one after another, then all the remaining targets will undoubtedly become our after-dinner dessert. It is no problem when we like to eat and how we like to eat." Yakovrevic explained his first two steps of offensive combat plan.
As for the third wave of offensive action, it is purely an action to expand the results of the war. According to Yakovlevic, this third wave of offensive will be a "happy time" for the air force soldiers. They can not only attack the Japanese declining air bases, but also carry out air strikes on important Japanese facilities, railway lines, highway lines, military camps, and command posts in Harbin, Jilin and Chenyang, so as to cooperate with the attack of ground troops to the greatest extent.
This is basically the case with Yakovlevic's action plan. Of course, he has made quite a few additions in many meticulous places. For example, it is best to choose a day with clear weather and sufficient sunshine during the attack. The route of the attack is mainly the route when the air raid troops enter the enemy's airport and carry out strikes. To put it bluntly, it is to launch an attack with sunlight on the back. In this way, the accuracy of the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery fire can be greatly reduced.
Chu Sinan was quite satisfied with the series of offensive plans made by Yakovlevic. In his opinion, this series of plans was almost perfect. If there was another thing that made him a little dissatisfied, it was that in this plan, the Air Force had to dispatch too many fighter jets. In the first batch, there were as many as 700 fighter jets. After the entire plan was implemented, the Soviet army needed to dispatch more than 2,800 fighter jets to deal with those Japanese pigs, which seemed a bit unfair.
However, as the supreme commander of the entire battle, Chu Sinan had an advantage that all generals admired, that is, he was absolutely unremitting. He never pointed fingers at those battle commands that he was not good at, but gave those things to real experts to deal with. Just like the navy and the air force, there is no doubt that as a general from the army, Chu Sinan did not understand the basic points of air combat and naval combat, so he delegated all the powers in these two aspects. In everyone's eyes, this was a very rational behavior, and at the same time, it was something that the commanders of the Soviet army could not do in the past.
After affirming Yakovlevic's combat plan and deployment, Chu Sinan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the current situation, two important issues that were involved in the early stage of the battle have been solved, and the rest are the problems of the army.
Chu Sinan already had a complete plan for the attack of the army troops, and in his plan, the Soviet army displayed more than one million troops and more than two hundred thousand German troops on the border line, and divided the troops into four groups. At the same time, it launched a fierce attack on the Japanese troops entrenched in Manchuria.
Chu Sinan wanted to defeat the nearly 700,000 Kwantung Army of Japan, not just to defeat them, but to completely annihilate them, and his combat intention was fully reflected in his battle deployment.
According to Chu Sinan's plan, the front-line army was equipped with two armies, a total of seven infantry divisions and three armored divisions. They launched an offensive from Borja in the Soviet Union, forcing crossing the Ergun River, and advanced all the way eastward, capturing Yakeshi, and Qiqihar's troops advanced southward. They captured Ulanhot and Tongliao, and finally cut off the main line of the Manchurian subway railway from Guanlin, thereby blocking the retreat of the Manchurian Japanese army southward; the front-line army was equipped with a group of four divisions. They launched an offensive from Swobodne, forcing crossing Heilongjiang, attacking the Nahe River, and advancing into Harbin. They also encircled the Japanese Kwantung Army base in Harbin from the western front; the front-line army was equipped with an armored group
The army and the German troops led by Paulus. They launched an offensive by Khabarovsk, forced a crossing of Heilongjiang, captured Hegang and Yichun, and then went straight to Harbin. In the end, they worked with the Second Front Army to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army entrenched on the front line of Harbin; the Fourth Front Army was equipped with four armies, a total of nine infantry divisions and five armored divisions. They launched an offensive by Ussurisk to capture the two fortresses of the Japanese "Dongning" and "Hutou" and seize Mudanjiang. Then the troops divided into two groups, attacking Jilin and Changchun, and the other route went south along the Yalu River, and then entered the Korean Peninsula. After conquering Qingjin and Huishan, the troops headed straight to Pyongyang.
"The final battle against the Japanese Kwantung Army must end north of the Great Wall of China!" After talking about his combat plan, Chu Sinan patrolled everyone's faces with bright eyes, and then said in a deep voice, "According to the resolutions and orders of the Supreme Command, any of our troops, even a soldier, a shell, or even a bullet, cannot cross the Great Wall and enter the pass. Therefore, the interception mission on the front line is very important and the responsibilities they bear are not light."
"Now, I accept Comrade Gusev as the commander of the front-line army," said Chu Sinan, "At the same time, I hope you can take on this responsibility. As long as your troops advance to the Manchurian Railway within the scheduled time, you will succeed. How about it, do you have confidence?!"
"Yes!" Gusev stood up and said.
"Very good!" Chu Sinan nodded and said, "Please sit down."
"As for the commander of the Second Front Army, I decided to be the one who is Kurjiomov," Chu Sinan continued, "You and the troops you command must enter the suburbs of Harbin's western front within the agreed time. Comrade Kurjiomov, your task is relatively simple, I think there should be no problem, right?"
"No problem." Kurjumov stood up and replied.
"Well, please sit down." Chu Sinan nodded, and then continued, "I decided to jointly serve as the commander of the Fourth Front Army, comrades Krelov and Romizov. Comrade Krelov should devote his main energy to the battle to liberate North Korea, while comrade Romizov should turn his attention to Shenyang. I sincerely hope that the two can cooperate sincerely and defeat the Japanese army's "Dongning, "Tiger Head, two fortresses, which are two hard bones, so your mission is not easy."
"We have no problem, General." Krelov, who was the general, stood up and assured.
"Well, I believe you," Chu Sinan smiled slightly, then stood up from his seat and said, "As for the commander-in-chief of the Third Front Army, I decided to be the one myself. I think everyone should have no objection on this point, right?"
Everyone in the conference room looked at each other and laughed. Naturally, no one would object to this.
"Hey, since no one objected, everyone agreed," Chu Sinan waited for a moment. Then he continued, "Actually, I always feel that as a soldier, only commanding the battle on the front line is the most satisfying. If this war only allows me to stay in this damn Gongqing City and enjoy a happy life, then I don't think I will go crazy for a long time."
"Haha..." A burst of laughter rang out in the venue.
"Okay," Chu Sinan clapped his hands, signaling everyone to calm down, and then suddenly pulled his face down. He said in a serious tone, "My generals, our mission has been assigned, but there is still the last order from the command headquarters. We are going to issue it. This order can be said to have nothing to do with everyone here, but it is closely related to us."
Chu Sinan's slightly contradictory words surprised everyone present. Their confused expression obviously showed their thoughts, which was to be eager to know what this order was.
Facing everyone's confusion, Chu Sinan did not explain anything. He waved his hand to Lukoonki who had been standing at the door and said, "Go, let Comrade Kluchkov come in."
"Buzz!"
As soon as the name Kluchkov appeared, the conference room suddenly became lively, and everyone was whispering, speculating on why this guy with a prominent reputation suddenly appeared here.
There is no doubt that Klyuckov's name is familiar to everyone here. As the current director of the Security Committee, his duty is to monitor commanders at all levels of military forces. At the same time, in the Far East, the large border defense force was originally directly under his organization.
At this time, there would be no naive idea that Klyucchkov was here to cooperate in the battlefield. Even if it was useful in the war, it should be Gilnilova, who was in charge of intelligence. Since Klyucchkov was here at this moment, it means that the military committee members in various branches had new tasks. In the past, most of the actions of military committee members unilaterally were responsible for nothing.
Lukoonki didn't go out for long. About three or four minutes later, the door of the conference room reopened. Kluchkov, in military uniform, followed Lukoonki, and in his hand, he was still holding a thick stack of documents.
"General!" As he entered the door, Klyuchkov first saluted Chu Sinan.
"Well," Chu Sinan nodded, and then said, "You can announce the decisions of the Supreme Command and the Security Council."
"Yes, general." Kluchkov agreed, and then walked quickly to the conference table. He first put the documents in his hand on the table, opened the top page and looked around, and finally glanced around the venue, coughed twice, "Generals, you should know that this war against Japanese imperialism is different from the wars we have fought in the past. The difference is that we are fighting across borders and our battlefield is in China. You may also have some understanding of the current situation in China. A Soviet-like political party is developing and matured in our largest neighboring country. For us, this political party is a potential ally and a friend that our domestic Soviet regime strives for."
"It is well known that since the great Comrade Lenin led our October Revolution and won victory, our Soviet regime has been in the process of blockade and destruction of various hostile forces for decades. In order to break this passive situation, we have done our best to make various resistances." Klyuchkov continued, "and this time, the ongoing world war, which involves almost every corner of the world, is not only a disaster for us, but also an opportunity. It is through this war that the Soviet parties in dozens of countries are gradually maturing, and a large part of them have mastered their own troops. It is based on this that the Supreme Presidium of the Soviet Union and the Supreme Command have made a decision, that is, through this
A war will help our countries expand their strength to the greatest extent and eventually seize power. Everyone, just two days later, the Communist International will hold a rally in Moscow. At this moment, the leaders of the friendly party from various fallen countries in Eastern Europe have arrived in Moscow, such as Comrade Gothwald, Comrade Tito, Comrade Chiossethku, Comrade Kadar, etc. The main topics of this meeting are not to be understood yet, but in order to ensure the future, to be precise, the emergence of a new world pattern after the war, the Supreme Command attaches great importance to the upcoming transnational war. For us and the whole world, this battle is a model, and it will affect the development of the overall situation. To this end, the Supreme Command instructs the Security Committee to directly intervene in this battle and implement all-round supervision of all participating troops."
"coax……"
Noisy discussions sounded in the venue again, and all the representatives of the military regions could not sit still. No one knew what this would mean.
"Quiet!" Kluchkov knocked on the table expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice.
It seems that Klyuchkov, the secret police leader of the Security Committee, was obviously very deterrent. His sniff of voice was not loud, and the venue immediately became quiet. To be honest, although there were a large number of generals among the people present, except for Chu Sinan, every military official was afraid of the secret police leader. In the Soviet Union, although the people of the Security Committee also wore military uniforms, they always had powers far higher than soldiers. No matter which military region or general, they would never have the power to arrest a secret policeman of the Security Committee without authorization, nor to punish a military committee member. However, the Security Committee had the power to investigate any military general without permission until the final arrest.
"My generals, you don't need to worry," Klyuckov continued after he calmed down. "This time the intervention of the Security Committee will never interfere with your command of the battle, and will not make any moves on the progress of any battle. We have to supervise only two things, one is the distribution of spoils, and the other is our military discipline!"
Chapter completed!
