s: Second update asking for votes That's right, Xiao Xu ran away first.
Originally, according to the plan, Xiao Xu's 123rd Mobile Division, Lao Wu's 122nd Armored Division, and the 21st Mixed Brigade would join together in Aktobe before launching an attack on the Red Army in Orenburg.
After the 21st Mixed Brigade captured Aktobe, Xu Shuzheng's Motorized Infantry Division arrived.
At this time, the 122nd Division was still waiting for the train on the edge of the Aral Sea.
China's motorized infantry divisions in this plane are equivalent to the motorized infantry divisions of some countries in the original time and space.
Their equipment is all wheeled vehicles.
This unit is the fastest unit, so it was named "Mobile Infantry" by President Wen.
No matter how high the mobility of an armored division is, it cannot possibly compete with a mobile division.
This is especially true when running long distances.
Wheeled vehicles can run for 1,800 kilometers in one go without any trouble, but tracked vehicles don't dare to do this.
If they run that far, they have to replace the tracks.
Today, during a routine reconnaissance of Orenburg, a reconnaissance plane discovered that a large group of Soviet cavalry was moving south, in the direction of Aktobe.
After receiving the information from the reconnaissance plane, Xu Shuzheng looked at the map and discussed with the 21st Mixed Brigade to let them build a defense line on the spot, while he decisively led his men north to fight.
Xiao Xuzi knew the characteristics of the mobile division very well.
If he stayed to defend, he would not be able to exert the combat effectiveness of the mobile division.
These cavalry were indeed sent by Frunze.
There were three cavalry divisions in total, all of which were Red Cossacks.
Their mission is to expel the Chinese army that occupied Aktobe and recapture this important stronghold.
Frunze originally planned to let the Red Russian guerrillas in the Kazakh region delay the Chinese army's attack.
It should be said that this idea was correct.
The guerrillas could not fight head-on, but they could still carry out harassment and attack supply lines.
Unfortunately, the Kazakh region is really peaceful.
The entire Kazakh region is dominated by plains, and there are very few terrains suitable for guerrilla warfare such as mountains and forests.
And China has absolute air supremacy.
A large number of aircraft and airships are patrolling the sky at any time.
Once the Red Army guerrillas are discovered, they will summon the nearest troops to destroy these guerrillas.
Yes, the guerrillas here are mainly cavalry, but no matter how the cavalry can run, they can't run away from the plane.
Moreover, in order to deal with guerrillas in such areas, China has mobilized a large number of large armed airships.
These large armed airships can be said to be outdated now.
They cannot defeat current mainstream fighter jets at all, and they dare not attack ground forces with strong anti-aircraft firepower. , except for high-altitude bombing after gaining air superiority, there is nothing else to do.
However, it is no problem at all to deal with guerrillas.
The guerrillas do not have strong anti-aircraft firepower.
Of course, there are not too many large armed airships, because the main purpose of these things is to allow the great powers to distort the technology tree, so naturally they will not be built in too many.
Therefore, in order to make up for the shortage in the number of these airships, China has also developed several new weapons specifically designed to deal with guerrillas.
One is a gunship aircraft modified from a Y-4 "Stork" transport aircraft, with a 40mm machine gun, two 20mm machine guns and four 12mm machine guns installed on the aircraft.
The other is the "Xuntian Type 1" small warning airship.
Large armed airships are too expensive and have limited uses.
Even if Mr.
Wen is not short of money, he is reluctant to build too many.
But small guard airships are different.
This kind of soft airship has a load capacity of only about five tons and is quite cheap to build.
There are not many people on board.
In addition to two pilots, a captain and observer and a communications officer, there are 12 soldiers operating weapons.
Two twin machine gun towers that can rotate 360 degrees are installed under the airship's pod.
Each machine gun tower is equipped with two 12mm machine guns.

There is also a circle of perforations around the pod, as well as observation equipment such as telescopes with multiple magnifications. .
Like previous armed airships, it is also filled with helium, so it is not afraid of being blown up.
It also has an armored cabin that can block rifle fire.
This kind of warning airship usually flies at an altitude of 400-500 meters.
As long as it flies into the sky, it is equivalent to deploying a flying firepower point, which is also armored.
With it as the center, a radius of 1.52 kilometers is its hunting area.
The configuration of four 12mm heavy machine guns and eight excellent shooters is fatal to any non-armored target.
Of course, this kind of small airship is very vulnerable to anti-aircraft guns and individual anti-aircraft missiles, but the guerrillas of this year will certainly not have these things.
These things can float in the sky almost all day long.
Without armored vehicles, no one can safely pass through the fire coverage of these suspended gun towers.
Even armored vehicles may not be able to pass through.
The airship is equipped with two 15mm anti-material guns, and four 12mm heavy machine guns are also equipped with armor-piercing projectiles.
Even if the front cannot penetrate, the top armor cannot afford it.
In fact, the first people to enjoy this "Survey Type 1" warning airship were not the Red Army guerrillas, but the indigenous monkeys in Indonesia.
This kind of airship was originally a weapon used to suppress the natives of the new territory.
None of these people had anti-aircraft guns.
These airships have worked extremely well with security companies in Indonesia, and now seem to be even more effective in plain areas.
There is also a smaller "Shantian 2" warning airship with a load capacity of only 2 tons and only one twin machine gun tower.
This kind of Although the effect of these weapons at night is not good enough, although they are equipped with searchlights and night vision devices, the efficiency of night combat is still very low.
But they can move in the sky, much faster than two-legged people and four-legged horses.
Even if the guerrillas sneak through at night, they can move several times in ten minutes or half an hour during the day.
A new blockade was re-deployed ten kilometers away.
Even if the guerrillas ran desperately for a day, they would catch up in just a few hours and would not be able to escape at all.
Under the attack of these things, the guerrillas in the Kazakh region not only had no effect, but suffered heavy casualties.
Within half a month, the remaining Red Army guerrillas no longer dared to attack, but desperately retreated to the Red Army-controlled areas in the west.
However, the guerrillas have never been the key factor.
It is the battle between the regular armies that ultimately determines the outcome.
Frunze didn't expect them to be able to hold on for long, but they were defeated so quickly, which was still beyond his expectation.
However, a regular army battle is not easy to conduct.
The current situation of the Red Army has been quite unfavorable from the beginning, because their troops are insufficient and their equipment is not as good as that of the opponent.
What they faced this time was not the ragtag Russian White Army, but a 700,000-strong Chinese army with a complete command system, sufficient supplies, well-equipped, rigorous training, years of service and several battle experience.
Frunze currently has only fifteen divisions in its hands, and the Chinese army is moving too fast.
These troops are still scattered in various key areas in Western Kazakhstan, and most of them are building fortifications along the Uyl and Ural rivers.
This situation is not suitable for fighting with the opponent.
Frunze is not stupid.
He also knows that with his own family background, it is impossible to confront the People's Liberation Army head-on.
He can't move at all.
His strategy is to defend and wait for domestic reinforcements.
I heard that the battle in the Caucasus is going well.
Denikin's White Army is almost finished.
As long as Denikin is finished, 30 main divisions from the Caucasus can be mobilized to support Kazakhstan region.
But the defense cannot stick to one place, as doing so will easily lead to the street.
Defensive operations must have a certain amount of room for maneuver.
Although Orenburg is the center of this defense, an outpost defense line is also needed as a barrier for the main position.
Aktobe is the most suitable outpost defense line, but he still underestimated the speed of the Chinese.

Before the regiment he had just sent had time to eat, the Chinese came running in front of him and the regiment was driven away by the car. .
After Frunze learned that Aktobe was defending, its first reaction was to snatch it back.
Without this barrier, Orenburg would directly bear the Chinese front.
What made him relieved was that according to the report of Aktobe's scouts, there were not many Chinese troops there, only one division and one brigade.
Now there were five divisions that he could immediately mobilize near Orenburg.
Among these five divisions are three cavalry divisions of the First Cavalry Corps.
The First Cavalry Corps is his old subordinate, and they are all very elite Cossack cavalry.
Frunze decided to personally lead this force to recapture Aktobe and establish a defensive line there.
From Frunze's point of view, Aktobe was a small city that was only built in the late last century.
It had no city walls, and the Chinese army had just arrived, so it would definitely be too late to build fortifications.
With the mobility of the cavalry, they would definitely be able to get there.
Caught the Chinese people off guard.
If we wait a few more days for the Chinese to repair the fortifications, it will be troublesome, so we must hurry.
So, he immediately left the city and led the first cavalry army to attack Aktobe.
July 17, 11 o'clock in the morning, Yaisan.
Yaisan is a small town between Aktobe and Orenburg, less than 100 kilometers away from Orenburg.
At this time, the small town had been occupied by the 123rd Division, which arrived in a hurry.
"Three Cavalry Divisions" Xu Shuzheng rubbed his chin and looked at the enemy's situation marked on the electronic map and calculated.
The reconnaissance plane just sent the latest information.
Frunze's three cavalry divisions are already 30 kilometers away from here, and are now stopping to prepare lunch.
According to the pilot's description, there were cavalry everywhere, spreading out for seven or eight kilometers.
"Commander, do you want to fight or not?"
a regiment leader asked excitedly.
"Why not fight?"
Xu Shuzheng snapped his fingers and said: "Damn, the cavalry is amazing!
We have eaten these three cavalry divisions.
Let these old fools see the difference between the times."
Afterwards, Xu Shuzheng convened a brief combat meeting with his men.
He stopped lighting a fire and cooking.
He ordered everyone to eat dry food and conduct a final inspection of the equipment immediately after eating.
Half an hour later, the 123rd Division launched its vehicles and rushed towards the enemy's position at full speed.
Red Army camp.
"None of the reconnaissance troops came back," Frunze asked in surprise.
The chief of staff said with a dark face: "Yes, Comrade Commander, we have sent out three reconnaissance battalions, but so far there has been no return and no one has come back."
"Did they all die?"
said a staff officer.
"Did they only occupy Aktobe with an infantry division and an infantry brigade?
In the Chinese army, the infantry division has very few cavalry.
How could it be possible to eliminate three of our Cossack cavalry battalions or all of them?
This is impossible.
"A Cossack officer said dissatisfied.
"Even if the infantry can defeat the cavalry, it will never be able to wipe out all the cavalry units."
Another Cossack also echoed: "Yes, that's it.
If the cavalry can't defeat it, it can run away.
How can the infantry outrun the cavalry?"

"Did they go straight to Aktobe without discovering the enemy?"
"But they shouldn't not report the situation."
"Maybe the radio station is broken.
That kind of shabby radio station is broken more often than not."
Just as everyone was talking about it, an officer who was busy in front of the radio suddenly changed his expression and ran over: "Report to Comrade Commander, the forward regiment reported that the number of Chinese coming over is about one division, and they have many cars."
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom" Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by bursts of intense gunfire.
Frunze's face turned green.
He was actually killed before he found out.
It seemed that the three reconnaissance battalions sent out must be in trouble.
"Is there only one division?"
"Yes, there is only one.
No numbers of other troops were found around."
"Prepare to fight immediately" Frunze ordered immediately.
Although it is suffering a bit now, this Chinese infantry division actually went deep alone.
This is also an opportunity.
The forward regiment is only five kilometers away.
Now we rush over to support it.
We can also eat this division by the way.
By then, there will only be one brigade left in Aktobe.
As for the possibility of failure, Frunze never thought about it.
Isn't it a joke that three cavalry divisions and one infantry division can't win a skirmish?
This is a no-brainer.
"We are going to let the Chinese know this time that even now, the world of cavalry will always be on the plains."
A Cossack division commander patted the horse under his crotch and said with a proud look on his face.
"The Chinese have obviously cultivated the best war horses, but they do not pay attention to the cavalry.
It is really stupid."
His mount was a Chinese product that he had managed to buy only the year before last, a new breed of war horse called "Tianfu Horse".
This kind of war horse has appeared in several Chinese military parades.
Not only is it beautiful in appearance, but its performance is extremely incredible, surpassing all previous war horses.
It has been sought after by a large number of cavalrymen and Hermes as soon as it appeared.
Although China does not ban the export of this kind of horse, because the number itself is not large, only a small number are exported every year, and they are all geldings, stallions and mares are not sold.
Even with such restrictions, each horse was sold at a very touching high price.
The teacher spent almost half of his family's savings for generations to buy such a horse.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom."
They were getting closer and closer, and they could already see a cloud of smoke rising on the horizon.
This is the smoke from a large number of vehicles traveling at high speeds
