WAR DEBATE: Russian Federation (Pro) vs. China (Con)

I feel that my opponent has sort of tried the "win in one turn" strategy, which doesn't work. I will first work in my opponent's chronological range and respond to his moves, then start making my own. LAND AND AIR OPERATIONS: April 29 (one day after initial attacks): Russia declares war on China. Local workers are called to attempt repairs of railway stations and railways themselves. I feel that my opponent over-estimates the capabilities of his bombardment. He doesn't name any specific missiles, but they typically have an accuracy of plus or minus several tens of meters of their intended target. Artillery is also known for general lack of accuracy. While massed use of both of these could indeed have an effect, it is unlikely that this would be devastating. The rail station may take damage and it would take time and manpower to remove rubble and allow trains to come in, but significant damage to the railway itself is quite unlikely. The Trans-Siberian railway actually consists of two parallel railways, so even if the one closer to China was destroyed, the Northern one would still be able to be used. While in less volume, significant transportation of troops and equipment can continue. "Russian intellegence satallites would be knocked down from space using kinetic vechicles as tested in 2007 (1)" Not only did my opponent fail to actually provide a source, it seems unreasonable that all Russian satellites would be knocked out in one go. It would help if my opponent provided a source with this technology. April 30: Russian reserves are mobilized. Older planes (particularly bombers) that have been inactive for a long time are being checked, repaired and re-armed. Trains start taking the Northern Trans-Siberian railroad from Russia's industrial centers in the West. These trains carry mostly heavy equipment and machines such as tanks and artillery rather than men. For an operation of this importance and scale, the tank divisions are almost completely composed of Russia's T-90 tanks. The main highways running West to East (seen in map below) are being used by trucks to transport soldiers from nearby regions to the area of Russia surrounding the Heilongjiang province. http://www.mapsofworld.com... May 3: Transport of troops and equipment continues. Anti-air defense systems such as the S-300 and S-400 are being brought into the area. My opponent said China "hacked" these, but I don't see how that's possible considering that the vast majority are located in the Moscow area, and are only now being transported into the region surrounding Northern Manchuria. These systems are in place to prevent aerial harassment of Russian forces. This is a quest of massive proportions, and requires machinery that fits the scale. Russia begins employing the world's largest bomber (Tu-160) to bomb Chinese industrial centers and military bases in Northern Manchuria. The plane has a range large enough to easily travel all the way from the Western-most tip of Russia to Manchuria and back to deliver about 150,000 kg of ordinance each. The planes are sent in squadrons of about 5-7 and once the planes enter the area, they are supported by also 5-6 fighters/interceptors such as the Su-27 (Flanker). While bombing is generally inaccurate, the damage from such massive amounts of ordinance adds up rather quickly after several consecutive days of bombing. Within the next three days, it's probably safe to say that depending on the magnitude of the Chinese response, a dozen or so fighters would be lost and maybe a couple of the bombers, but it is up to my opponent to show how China could really fight back. During this time, the Su-25 (Frogfoot) attack aircraft is also used. This plane has a range of about 1,500 miles, so pretty much any plane of this kind within a 1,500 mile radius can be employed. The plane is generally playing a close air-support role, but in this case they will be functioning more by themselves. Their purpose is simply to harass Chinese ground troops with a focus on the artillery units shelling Russian forces. The Khabarosk airport becomes blocked from commercial flights and is dedicated solely to receiving transport planes with munitions and troops. May 5: Long-ranged bombing continues. Active use of Su-25 (Frogfoot) attack aircraft also continues. After a week since the start of transportation operations, about 100 T-90 tanks have reached the area. These are superior to any tank China has to offer. By now, a significant force has been amassed just north of the Russo-Chinese border. The forces are divided into two groups, one around Khabarosk (North-East of Manchuria) and one around Never, directly North. May 6: Operation Hammer and Anvil The two forces attack in a pincer movement. I'd like to point out that my opponent has quite grandiose plans for his attacks, but they are very unrealistic. He mentions that he used 400,000 troops, for example, to attack Vladivostok. He made no preparations for this and there is no way there just happened to be 400,000 service-ready troops by the city. In any case, the Chinese forces located in the way of Never group are first subjected to artillery bombardment. My opponent seems to have made virtually no plans for defense, so when the Russians push forward in a very focused manner, the Chinese are completely unprepared for a defensive operation. Ground troops follow the tanks as the spearhead, pushing into key Chinese military points in order to cause chaos and eliminate the opponent. The close air-support is critical in clearing the path for the tanks so that buildings/structures that could be used as defense are eliminated. The Never group moves right along the Great Khingang Range towards Beian and the Khabarosk force tries to move towards Harbin, but is stalled significantly because of the attack force my opponent sent. I cannot calculate the losses there because I find my opponent's forces to be completely unrealistic, but for now there is indeed intense fighting there. May 8: After two days of fighting in Khabarosk, the Chinese force sent to take it out is seriously weakened under the long-ranged bombing and the defensive ring setup around the city, focusing on protecting the airport which supplies constant munitions and reinforcements. The Never force moves through with more ease than their counterpart in Khabarosk. The group uses major roads to push towards Harbin, which is left with little protection as virtually all Chinese forces (indeed my opponent used massive amounts for his attack) in the area moved north to attack Khabarosk. May 10: Brutal fighting leads to heavy losses on both sides. The Russian Khabarosk force is now too weak to carry out a large scale offensive as originally planned, so it has resorted to solely defensive strategy. The constant air-supply, as well as railroad supply, of munitions, food and more soldiers is what keeps the city alive. The Never force has moved into Harbin, and instead of pushing farther south as originally intended, the group moves northward towards Khabarosk in order to support the group there and outflank the Chinese forces. May 15: At this point, Vladivostok has long since fallen. Khabarosk is almost completely surrounded and Kamchatka is largely under the control of the Chinese. Russia has little to no response to the situation on Kamchatka. The garrison at Khabarosk is almost at breaking point, however once again, the airport is the core of the defense. After over a week of intense fighting, however, the Chinese force is also weakened significantly. This is critical because at about this time, the Never group arrives from the south to flank Chinese forces assaulting Khabarosk. Chinese intelligence was able to locate the Never group several days prior to reaching Khabarosk, so I assume some of the forces there turned around to set up a defense, but it is not enough to stop the fresh, nearly untouched Never group. May 16: The Never group coordinates with the group in Khabarosk to mount a large offensive operation simultaneously, to the south of the city. The Khabarosk airport is abandoned and all bets are placed on this maneuver. Since the Chinese were trying to encircle the city, their forces were spread rather thinly and were annihilated between the two Russian groups. May 17: After a successful breakthrough, the two groups reunite, now called the Never-Khabarosk group, and push northward into the city to reclaim the airport and critical transportation points. China doesn't seem to have any significant roads or railroads leading to Khabarosk, so reinforcements are lacking. May 20: The Chinese force in the area is rendered almost completely incapable of further military operations. May 21: The Khabarosk group took massive casualties and was almost destroyed as a whole, so the Never-Khabarosk group is only a bit larger than the Never group originally was because the addition of the Khabarosk group wasn't very large due to heavy battle losses. May 22: The Never-Khabarosk group pushes south-west again towards Harbin. Heavy artillery pieces along with more tanks are flown into the Khabarosk airport, which are then moved with the Never-Khabarosk group south-west. The pincer operation did not reach its intended effect, but still eliminated a massive Chinese force that was threatening Khabarosk. With the elimination of this group, the Never-Khabarosk group moves with relative ease to Harbin and so the very Northern areas of Manchuria are effectively under Russian control as more forces move in behind the Never-Khabarosk group to secure what is captured. Little attention is paid to the events at sea, pretty much all focus is turning towards the ground operations. May 25: Having reached Harbin, the Never-Khabarosk force sets up a defensive line around the city. Any civilian resistance is quickly punished by death. The Blagoveschensk-Harbin highway is used for reinforcement of city
