Chapter 624: The enemy can go! I can go too!
At this moment, Liu Xiaoshan's pursuit was nearing its end. It was not that he did not dare to rush into the Northeast, but the Japanese had built a large number of fixed fortifications on the border between the Northeast and the Huns. Given Liu Xiaoshan's current situation, it was still difficult for him to break in.
During the two days of fighting, General Uchiyama fled to the 24th Division's camp, resulting in the loss of nearly an entire brigade of the 24th Division.
In this pursuit war, Liu Xiaoshan's side won a great victory, killing a total of 22,000 Japanese. If Zhang Jiahua's achievements were also counted, they killed at least 34,000 Japanese.
The Japanese originally wanted to fight side by side with the Russians, but they were just going through the motions. They didn't expect that they would suffer so many losses just for the sake of going through the motions. Although most of the losses were caused by temporarily formed divisions, these were also the lives of the Japanese after all.
In addition, the various types of combat supplies discarded along the way are countless. Fortunately, we brought a lot of civilians with us. Now these people are going to the surrounding areas to collect supplies. According to the order issued by Liu Xiaoshan, 5% of whatever you bring back will be yours.
"Leave two regiments behind to help them transport the supplies back. The rest of us should immediately head north. We must support Zhang Jiahua. We can't be blinded by these things in front of us. We are in Luosha territory. Today is the day to realize our brothers' great cause of conquering the Wolf and Lair."
Liu Xiaoshan's words were remembered by many people. This is the achievement of the Champion Monkey in history. In the thousands of years of history of our Chinese nation, there are not many people who can be called Champion Monkeys. Can we do it now?
All the brothers quickly got everything in order and tried to enter the territory of Luosha in the best possible manner. Zhang Jiahua's telegram had also arrived, and the two infantry divisions were less than 20 kilometers away from them. The Luosha artillery had already fallen on their heads, and now they urgently needed the support of heavy artillery units.
Because Zhang Jiahua and his men rushed too far forward, the Air Force's support for them was limited. There were only three batches of aircraft per day at most, and the air control time each time could not exceed fifteen minutes.
Li Qiankun has already expressed his position, the location of the field airport has been selected, and they are about to prepare to airlift all kinds of supplies, but Zhang Jiahua still has to hold on for a week.
During this week, if you want to suppress the enemy's firepower, you must use ground artillery units. In addition to the tanks he carries, Liu Xiaoshan's two heavy artillery regiments are already on the way forward.
After finishing the battle against General Uchiyama, Liu Xiaoshan ordered the two heavy artillery regiments to pack up quickly. You are no longer needed here. Your task is to move forward quickly and steadily. During these three days, you must not stop and replace people. You must rush to Liu Xiaoshan as quickly as possible to cooperate with their artillery units and defend our territory in Luosha.
At the same time, the army in Ulaanbaatar will also send two transport regiments to transport 105mm and 150mm large-caliber heavy artillery shells.
It is simply unrealistic to transport this thing by plane, especially the 150mm heavy artillery shells. If there is any mistake during takeoff and landing, the entire plane and the aircraft will be destroyed.
Therefore, automobile transportation is better. At this time, Li Shaoyi was quite troubled when he saw the telegrams sent from all over the front line. Almost every unit needed to be replenished. Everything on the grassland was good except for a railway. Now the railway from Ulaanbaatar to Beijing has only completed the domestic section.
"Marshal, don't be so gloomy. Building a railway from construction to completion, or even from project approval to commencement, takes time. You can't play with speed when it comes to this. If you do, and something goes wrong in the future, it will be a matter of great consequence for generations to come."
Chief of Staff Cui knew why Li Shaoyi was worried, so he brought the Junker Officers Corps here this time to train new recruits on the grassland. Chief of Staff Cui also talked with Li Shaoyi mainly about the construction of the rear.
"Maybe it's because we're making rapid progress in all areas, so I thought the railway construction would be quicker. Now it seems I was just wishful thinking. But the grasslands really can't survive without a railway. Even if we have a lot of air force transport planes, we can't get anything done if we're in Zhang Jiahua's situation."
Li Shaoyi threw the pencil on the table. He had just talked to several railway engineers, but all of them said that this would not happen quickly. Even if we increase the manpower, we still have to conduct repeated surveys in certain areas. Building a railway is no joke.
"We can find other solutions. In the driver's school behind us, if they only drive on the grasslands, I believe there are at least a thousand people who are qualified. Let's use trucks to carry them first. Aerial reconnaissance has already produced results. There are only a few scattered enemy forces on the vast grasslands northeast of Ulaanbaatar. They are unlikely to cause damage to our transportation lines."
Chief of Staff Cui drew a circle on the map. From Ulaanbaatar to where Zhang Jiahua was, it was roughly more than a thousand kilometers, and there was a road.
"I'm not sure if my thinking is correct, but our capture of the Luosha border town has more symbolic significance than practical significance. With this, Western countries will be able to see our determination to fight the Luosha people to the death. At the same time, Luosha's strategic focus will shift from the Xiongnu Steppe back to their homeland, which will be very helpful for us to occupy the entire Xiongnu Steppe at that time."
Li Shaoyi looked at Chelanga where Zhang Jiahua was stationed, and hesitation appeared on his face. It was indeed of little practical use to spend so much effort to occupy a small town in Luosha. However, the things he had just mentioned would happen in a short time.
At least the people in the Far East Military Region will not continue to send troops to the Xiongnu steppes, but will turn their attention back to their country, and we will also change from the attacking side to the defending side.
The Russians love their territory and will never allow others to invade their territory. Therefore, Zhang Jiahua's move at this moment has made the Russians lose their patience. They will definitely concentrate all the military forces in the Far East and make sure to destroy Zhang Jiahua's troops in the shortest time possible.
"Emperor Wu of Han once said, 'If the invaders can invade, I can invade too.' How could you have forgotten this? The Russians invading our land and us occupying theirs are two completely different things. It represents a shift from offense to defense..."
