It has been a month since the war started. As the Chinese approached Moscow step by step, after several battles, the Soviets finally understood the equipment situation of the Chinese ** troops. They were no longer confused as at the beginning of the war, and even thought that the equipment on the front line was

The main reason for the tragic defeat was the class enemies hidden in the revolutionary ranks.

The main opponents Frunze faced were the Far East Government Army and the China Far East Army. These two armies were not equipped with tanks and aircraft, but that did not mean that he could get information about Chinese weapons and equipment from other battlefields.

General Bolevich described the situation of the Red Army tanks. Frunze was disappointed and fell into deep thought. For a while, the room became quiet. General Ubolevich and General Yakir waited patiently for Frunze to speak.

Looking intently at the map spread out on the table, Frunze tapped his fingers lightly on the table. A few minutes later, he asked: "Comrade Ubolevich, there are now a total of the tanks of our army you mentioned just now.

How many? How many additional support aircraft are there from Moscow?”

"There are 48 tanks in total that have just been shipped, but only 31 are intact due to malfunctions. Engineers are working on repairing the other 17 tanks, but due to the lack of parts, it may be difficult to repair them in a short time. As for the aircraft, Serov is now

There are five planes, and they have just arrived.”

After saying this, seeing Frunze looking thoughtful, General Ubolevich hurriedly asked: "Comrade Frunze, you don't want to use these tanks and aircraft to fight against the Chinese armored forces and air force."

Right? Please forgive me for my frankness. Although our army also possesses some tanks and aircraft, it cannot be the opponent of the Chinese in terms of quantity or quality. If these tanks and aircraft are sent to the front line, it will only

It can bring new results to the enemy and increase the losses and casualties of our army."

General Yakir has the same view, and compared with General Ubolevich, he is even less optimistic about these newly installed so-called tanks and aircraft. Everyone is a senior officer who has experienced the European war, and they all have different opinions on the advantages and disadvantages of weapons.

It's an expert. The tank that Moscow has tinkered with is basically a semi-finished product, both in terms of design and performance. It has frequent failures and is not suitable for the battlefield. Compared with the tanks equipped by the advanced Chinese armored forces, it is simply nothing more than a semi-finished product.

Slightly better than a pile of scrap metal.

As for the plane, they were happy for a while when the plane arrived in Serov, but when they went to the temporary airport, they were all dumbfounded. The plane shipped from Moscow looked like an outdated model that was used on the European battlefield a few years ago, but

It's just a change of vest. This kind of aircraft is not even comparable to the Chinese Air Force's trainer. It's not even comparable to the German aircraft during the European War. I even heard that a few fell down during the test flight. If the Bolsheviks hadn't had

Backed by iron will and the threat of being purged, I'm afraid no pilot would fly such a bad aircraft into the sky.

"I am very clear about this." Frunze waved his hands, showing a hint of helplessness: "If our tanks and aircraft have 80% or even 70% of the enemy's combat effectiveness, I will put them on the front line without hesitation.

But looking at it now, this idea is unlikely to be established. According to information from Moscow, it will take at least more than a year to develop tanks and aircraft that can truly compete with the enemy. In my opinion, I am afraid that this time is still long.

Far from enough.”

Speaking of this, Frunzhi smiled slightly, and his tone changed and he raised his hand and pointed to the east: "Comrades, although our weapons are not as advanced as the enemy's, frontal confrontation will have no effect at all. But don't forget,

Our enemy is not only the Chinese Communist Regiment coming from the south, but also the White Army that has been chasing behind our front army."

"What do you mean...?" General Yakir pushed up his glasses, as if he had thought of something.

"That's right!" Frunze pointed his hand on the map and said with confidence: "Since our army cannot compete with Chinese tanks and aircraft in terms of weapons, don't forget that the White Army coming from the east

There are also no tanks and aircraft. Once Serov's battle starts, it will be a war in the south and east. We can fully exploit our strengths and avoid weaknesses, transfer all the existing immature tanks and aircraft to the east, and concentrate our efforts on giving the White Army a head-on attack. In this way

First, even if we suffered a defeat on the southern front, there is still a possibility of victory on the eastern front. In order to ensure the safety of the White Army, the Chinese will definitely change their tactics and support the eastern front. This will give our army the opportunity to break through.

Opportunity, if commanded properly, this battle will not only enable the main force of our army to completely escape the enemy's pursuit. It can also greatly plunge the enemy into chaos, thereby buying our army precious time!"

"This is a good idea!" General Yakir's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Indeed, as Comrade Frunze said, it is a good idea to put tanks and aircraft to the east. We can definitely use this weapon to let the White House

The bandit army has also experienced the powerful tactics of the Chinese. As long as we hold our position firmly in the south and defeat the White bandit army in the east, the enemy will inevitably cause chaos in the command of the entire campaign, which will bring us an opportunity."

"The method is a good one, but are our tanks and aircraft capable of it?" General Ubolevich thought for a while and asked.

"It can't and must be possible! As long as we make good arrangements, I believe this tactic will definitely be effective." Frunzhi said decisively, and then he thought for a while and said: "Let's let the engineers prepare the tanks and aircraft.

Maintenance to ensure normal sorties. In addition, for the 17 tanks currently being repaired, didn’t the engineer say that they cannot be repaired in a short time due to lack of parts? Then the intact parts of some of the repaired tanks will be disassembled and replaced, and repairs will be carried out as soon as possible.

Part of it is to ensure that we go into battle."

Frunze made a rough tactical plan and the order was quickly issued. According to his request, engineers dismantled the tanks under repair overnight. After a lot of trouble, 12 of the 17 tanks were repaired. As for the remaining

Almost all of the five vehicles were dismantled into parts and used as spare vehicles to move together to the Eastern Front. At this time, Frunze's front army in Surgut also quickly retreated, but because of the Far East government forces and the Chinese behind

The Far East Army refused to let go. During the retreat, it could only retreat alternately with separate units blocking each other, and its speed could not increase at all.

On the evening of the second day after Frunze arrived in Serov, the Southern Front reported that there were signs of armored forces in the southern Chinese Army Regiment. A large number of Chinese Army regiments were heading towards Serov, and a big battle was about to break out. (Unfinished)
