Section 564 Operation Bridgehead begins

Deng Xianxian, Vice Premier of the Government Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Empire of China, delivered a State of the Union Address, which made both Japan and the United States feel something different, "The Pacific War has lasted for three years and seriously threatens the safety of commercial navigation and fishing operations in the region. China will take necessary measures to maintain peace and stability in the region as appropriate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"What do you mean by situational?" The man in glasses muttered to himself, "Isn't Japan miserable enough now?" It seems that China does not intend to take in a strong guard dog, all they need is the land under the kennel. Several ministers knelt in front of the emperor, as if they had not heard these words at all.

"What do you mean by necessary measures? Could it be that the old head couldn't help but open up a fourth battlefield? "General Marshall put down the pen in his hand, Japan is already at the end of the road, but it is not easy for the United States to win, if China stands behind Japan, the United States will have to pay more price, if China personally stands in the foreground and the United States really fights with real guns, then the victory or defeat is really not yet known." Perhaps China is just a gesture towards our access to the Western Pacific, and in the face of Red Russia and British power in North Africa, it is not at all a rational attitude to challenge the United States. ”

No matter how one interprets it, in addition to maintaining three task forces and one special submarine fleet in the Indian Ocean, the National Defense Navy of the Democratic Republic of China already has a task force that is moving east out of the Sunda Strait toward the Micronesian Islands, and a task force stationed in Vladivostok at the invitation of the Belarusian Autonomous Republic has already carried out a live exercise in the eastern waters of the Bering Sea, posing a direct threat to the US military ribs at Midway.

The regrouped German army finally launched the Volonezh-Lipetsk Battle on March 5, the 24th year of the first century, and after the capture of Lipetsk, the situation of the two fronts was as follows: the German army had withdrawn across the Don River, and the entire southern flank had been repaired and straightened, but in the central region, Lipetsk formed a huge salient wedged into the Russian front to the east. It maintained contact with the Red Russian army on three sides: north, east and south. This salient was of great importance to both sides, and the Germans could start from this area if necessary to attack the Red Russian rear lines of communication in a roundabout way north and south. If Red Russia seized this salient, it could annihilate the main force of the tank forces of the German Central Front in one fell swoop, and could once again shorten the battle line, save more mobile troops, and regain the strategic initiative on the Eastern Front.

At the same time, the Russian high command also noted the problem of the Kursk salient. Around March 20, Zhukov, Vasilevsky and other Red Russian generals drafted a report to Zhugashvili after studying and judging the situation on the entire Eastern Front, predicting that the German army would be dispatched from Lipetsk to the north to attack the Ryazan region this summer, in order to destroy the Russian military-industrial complex in the region and prepare for the future attack on Moscow from the south. Dzhugashvili accepted their opinion.

As early as the spring of '23, both Germany and Russia felt that the future was bleak and that victory or defeat was uncertain, and they wanted to stop the war and make peace, so in June, Red Russian Foreign Minister Molotov and German special envoy Schellner held a secret meeting in German-occupied Kirovgrad. However, the Führer Hess regarded himself as the victor and demanded that the Dnieper River be the new border between the two countries, while the Red Russia demanded that the pre-war Bug River be the boundary.

Both sides have made up their minds to fight a decisive battle in the area from Lipetsk to Tambov. The high commands of both Germany and Russia began to intensively transfer troops and put all their strategic reserves into the Lipetsk region. Both Germany and Russia realized that this battle was of great significance to both sides, that the Russian army had lost, and that the situation would return to the predicament of being trapped in Moscow in the winter of two years ago, and that if the German army was defeated, it would lose the initiative in the entire Russian-German battlefield, and it would no longer be able to organize a strategic reserve of the current scale. Therefore, the Führer, who has always been relatively mild, threw a sentence to the generals: "We must not fail."

But what no one expected was that the German-Russian dragon and tiger battle would begin vigorously and end with a tiger's tail, for the simple reason that China's heavy army group at the eastern foot of the Ural Mountains actually launched a full-scale offensive.

"I command." Zhang Jianyuan, chief of the general staff, faced the generals of the Northern Dispatch Army, signaled the adjutant to open the map behind the command platform, Lin Huaiqing, Ding Sheng, Nie Guangyuan, Peng Guanghui, Xu Haichuan, Wu Lie, Duan Debiao and others were attracted by the three thick red arrows, which means that the three major group armies will attack at the same time, and the three roads are inserted behind the Red Russian Ural defense line, the Chinese iron cavalry set foot on the land of the Great Plain of Eastern Europe for the first time, and the whiteskins will panic under the eagle wings of the Royal Air Force and hand over their knees in front of the Wehrmacht's tracks. "Operation Bridgehead, 0:00 is 3:00 a.m. on May 1, the 24th year of the Taichu Dynasty."

In the early light of May 1, 200 Kunpeng bombers of the First Air Force of the Royal Air Force became the first to wake up the steel couriers of the Red Russian army, this 50-meter-long, 70-meter-wide air battleship with 32,659 kg (72,000 lb) bombs in its bomb bay and 16 20mm cannons on eight remote-controlled turrets was equipped with six Kunlun R-4360-41 worm engine engines and four standard electrical J47-GE-19 worm engines. Maximum take-off weight: 162,200 kg, maximum flight speed: 707 km / h, maximum range: 12,070 km, it is simply a survey battleship. In the face of Kunpeng's carpet bombing, the ground defense forces of the Red Russian army almost collapsed in an instant, and the fourteen reconnaissance satellites arranged by the Sky Eye system in high-latitude orbits monitored the Red Russia's every move in the Urals almost day and night, even if a company's shelter could not escape the surveillance of the Sky Eye, so the map of the Red Russian army's military facilities and assembly areas in the hands of the Royal Air Force was much more accurate than the one in the hands of Roshilov. At least it will take a week for the Red Russian Army to compile the latest position changes at the level of statistics, and the maps in the hands of the pilots of the Royal Chinese Air Force were all just mapped and mapped by the Sky Eye system 12 hours ago, and with the satellite positioning system and laser-guided bombs, it is like an NBA player playing a slam dunk game.

The three army groups on the ground were equipped with 2-3 divisions of heavy artillery clusters as fire support, and the huge artillery clusters of each group army themselves gave the Red Russian artilleryists a real taste of the devastating artillery preparations. Among them, the most astonishing is the "Rain of Arrows" 122mm wheeled self-propelled rocket launcher, the directional device of the gun is a 2.2 mm thick thin-walled tube, and with a spiral guide groove, 40 directional tubes are bundled with longitudinal and horizontal tension belts through the front and rear square supports; Adopt box-shaped universal support turntable; The electric high and low machine and the steering machine are installed in the low-seat box of the rotary machine, and the transmission system is mainly electric drive and supplemented by hand cranking; The entire rocket launcher is mounted on the chassis of the Xi'an Qinfeng off-road vehicle based on the seat ring; The ignition device is powered by the car's battery, and the ignition system composed of it and the time relay can realize continuous or single fire in the car, and the rocket launcher also has an external launch device. The range of 20,000 meters allows this rocket launcher to calmly cover and shoot outside the maximum range of the opponent's artillery, and the supporting automatic loading vehicle makes this powerful and costly weapon more powerful. The rain of 122 rockets made the pre-dawn darkness extraordinarily gorgeous, but for the Red Russian troops in the trenches, this was probably the last sight they would see.

The offensive goal of the 7th Army was clear: Yekaterinburg, the junction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Under the command of Nie Guangyuan, more than 100,000 elites, led by hundreds of "Winged Tiger" tanks and "Iron Armor" armored transport vehicles, broke through the opponent's field fortifications almost without any hindrance.

"Comrade Commissar?" Maxim's hat had been knocked flying by the fallen sleepers, and the blood blurred his vision, and now he couldn't care about it, how many people could still live in his regiment, and he himself was not sure, even on the eve of the attack on the German imps, he had never seen such a density of firepower in the Red Russian army. "Sergey. Sergeyevich, damn it, hurry up and talk back. For the sake of the Virgin Mary, is there anything alive? ”

"Ahem, anyone? Who pulled me. "The loud voice of Commissar Sergei came from the depths of the artillery hole, and it seemed that he had not yet received the favor of the Lord, well, or rather, he had not been informed by Daddy Monkar to go to the meeting.

"Old man, can you be lighter, I'm about to fall apart, you can't use my head as a turnip, this is not a tug-of-war." Sergei grumbled, but his voice was immediately interrupted by a low rumble. "What's that, is it a howitzer of the Chinese devils?"

"I'm afraid not." Although Maxim is a little slick and sophisticated, he has been in the Red Army for thirty years, and he is as familiar with the battlefield as his own bed: "It is a cluster of tanks, and it may be a large group of heavy tanks"

"Winged Tiger?" Both of them had an ominous premonition in their hearts, they all knew that this kind of damn Chinese tank, compared to the "Snow Leopard" tank and the "Tiger" tank that can also be beaten by a group to exchange their lives for their lives, the heavy tank that the Chinese armored forces have only installed in the last half a year is the nightmare of the Russian army.

The main armament of this tank is a Type 073 105mm smoothbore tank gun, consisting of a single inner barrel, a horizontal prismatic semi-automatic gun latch and a muzzle extraction device. The barrel is 51 times longer than the caliber, it is equipped with a thermal sheath, and it takes only 20 minutes to replace the barrel in field conditions. When the gun fires a tail stabilized disarming armor-piercing projectile, the muzzle velocity is 1475m/s, and the direct firing distance is 1600m.

The gun is equipped with a Type 300D white/infrared searchlight above the gun, which can be removed when not in use and stored in the rear of the turret. When working under infrared conditions, the maximum aiming distance of the "Evergreen"-34 commander sight is 1200m, and the size of the sight distance depends on the climatic conditions; The sight distance is 1500m under white light conditions. On the left side of the gun was mounted a 7.6mm parallel machine gun. The 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun can be mounted on the commander's hatch or on the loader's hatch, which can be rotated 360°, and the high and low firing range is -15~+75°. The turret of the Imprezad tank was equipped with shielded armor, which was divided into several pieces with rubber linings, which were mounted on the sides of the shield, the turret body, and the tail frame. With shielded armor installed, the total combat weight of the Imprezaku tank increased to 42.4 tons, which is comparable to the KV1 tank, but the protection capability is much higher than that of the KV1. The most important thing is that the Red Russian arsenal can only be effectively destroyed by a direct hit unless the 203-mm howitzer is pushed within 500 meters of the Imprezad tank, but who can do it? In the face of a Wing Tiger tank, you can try to harass it, but in the face of a group of Wing Tiger tanks and armored infantry, what can a Red Russian infantry regiment with only a few dozen anti-tank rifles do, do you have to gather the surviving people of the regiment to spit on the Wing Tiger tank?
