Chapter 270 Difficulties
In addition to finalizing these cooperation matters, Colonel Hans also brought news that the Soviets had decided to increase their troops in the Far East, and the general leading the team would still be the defeated Marshal Timur Shinko.
Mao Yuanshan had basically anticipated this move by the Soviets. They would never admit their failure. Mao Yuanshan was of course very clear about what the Soviets' expressions were.
Until the last moment, these guys would never admit their failure, just like now, they still attributed it to them being a little careless, and they were still saying that Mao Yuanshan's army used some sneak attack tactics, otherwise, they would never fail. Of course, they would never say the disadvantages of their weapons and equipment, if they said it, it would bring great pressure to the soldiers, they were very clear about this.
Just like many people in today's society, when they say that a child is not studying well, they will definitely say that the child is not diligent or is careless, and they will never admit that their child is stupid. The same is true for the Soviets. They will never tell the actual situation, but will just find some useless reasons.
Mao Yuanshan fully agreed with this. Since you dare not face your own mistakes and are even more unwilling to correct them, I will continue to use these mistakes. Anyway, I have strong soldiers and horses now. If you come, you will only go back with a bloody head. Mao Yuanshan continued to increase the firepower equipment on the front line. As long as the Soviets dared to come, they would be greeted by artillery shells and bombs.
When Marshal Timoshenko received the order from Moscow, he was so moved that he burst into tears. However, he was a little unhappy. Why didn't you transfer me back? I really don't want to clean up this mess in the Far East. The soldiers on the other side are definitely not what the masters in Moscow think.
How did this war fail? He was probably the only one in the entire Soviet Union who knew the situation best. He was very aware of the huge gap between Soviet weapons and the weapons of the Chahar Army, especially in the air force. Our air force fighters were no match for them, and we had no chance to escape. With such a huge gap, we still wanted to defeat them and take back Mongolia. This was simply a joke, and it was a joke on the fate of the entire Soviet Union.
If the central government asked Marshal Timoshenko for his opinion, he would definitely say that we can only defend Irkutsk and must not launch an attack on the enemy, even if reinforcements arrive. We should build a permanent defense line in the Irkutsk area and then start equipping the troops of the Far Eastern Military District with the latest equipment. Even if we equip ourselves with the latest equipment, we may not be able to defeat them. It is possible that they have already replaced them with better ones, especially the air force and tank units. Our air force must be equipped with new aircraft. Now these old aircraft are useless, and those tanks can't even defend against the enemy's machine guns. We still want to attack the enemy's armored forces, which is simply a joke.
However, Marshal Timoshenko is now in a difficult situation. If he dares to tell Moscow these words, the Moscow recruits will probably shoot him on the spot.
According to the reinforcements coming this time, there are about 50 people, plus some remaining local troops, he can definitely organize an army of 70 people.
On the surface, the number of these troops is already very strong, and it should be very easy to eliminate the local forces of Chahar.
But the actual situation is that although the number of troops has increased a lot, the supply of the troops cannot keep up at all, especially food and drink. The Soviet Union's heavy industry has developed too fast, and their light industry, even the Soviets themselves said, has failed. They basically cannot be self-sufficient in food, clothing and daily necessities, especially in rural areas. People starving to death are still a common occurrence in some areas.
This has happened before the full-scale war. If the war really begins, what will happen to the whole country? In the past, it was already very difficult for the Far Eastern Military Region to bear 30 people. Now 70 people are coming directly. How should they bear this? There are only so many civilians in the Soviet Union, and now because of the attack of the Chahar local troops, their range of activities has been reduced a lot. Marshal Timoshenko was not happy at all when he thought of this problem. This was not dispatching troops to avenge himself, but clearly making things difficult for himself. If the head of the Chahar local troops could see the situation clearly, he would just keep his troops in place and drag it there. Anyway, the houses over there are very well-stocked, at least there is canned beef to eat every day, but we can't even supply black bread here.
Those political commissars would certainly say that those were just some young soldiers who ate and drank well, but they were useless in the war. But reality slapped them hard in the face. Didn’t you say that they were young soldiers? Didn’t you say that they couldn’t fight? But why did we fail at their hands? If our country is so powerful, why did they have hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land under their feet, and even a big city was captured by them?
This time, the 50 reinforcements were still divided into three armies, renamed the Far East Second Army, the Far East Third Army and the Far East Fourth Army. The original Far East First Army kept its number unchanged. Originally, the Far East First Army was the strongest among the three armies, but now it has become the weakest.
From this we can also see how little the Soviet government values the Far Eastern Military District. The strongest army group in the Far Eastern Military District is far inferior to the reinforcements from inland areas, not to mention the original second and third army groups. There is no way to compare them at all. Now there is basically nothing in the eastern region of the entire Soviet Union. All the powerful armies have been pulled to the vicinity of the western border, all of them are on guard against the Germans.
Like the Germans, the Soviets were unwilling to fight on two fronts. There were too many disadvantages of fighting on two fronts, so they wanted to solve the Chahar local government in one fell swoop, but how capable they are depends on you.
