Chapter 894: Battle of the Far East - The First Airborne Division
After the 7th Division rushed down the 15th height, under the guidance of tanks, it captured the command center of the Russian army in one fell swoop. General Stolletov, who had sent people to persuade the surrender of the 7th Division more than 10 hours earlier, had to hold the map and turn it upside down. However, the 7th Division also quickly fell into the sea of Russian troops, and after the tanks ran out of fuel, they had to stop the charge, and then they were surrounded by more than 300,000 Russian troops. This time, their space was less than two kilometers, and without any support, Amba Lingwu and the others were ready to kill themselves.
"More than 200,000 enemies swooped down on our department, and today's battle situation is even worse The food and water are exhausted, and the barrier is empty, and I and An Ba Lingwu and others fought to the end, only to drink a bullet to become benevolent, report to the country and the general, and answer Li Shu and his subordinates, the last wish of the ancestor is not finished, and the pain is extreme, and the pain is extreme! The young son hopes to raise him, and he looks forward to the eternal secret of my wife! Long live the Manchurian Empire, long live His Majesty the General!
The seventh division of the Manchurian Imperial Army Ji Xing is a masterpiece on December 16, the 11th year of Zhongzheng, under the shadow wall mountain! ”
Before the Russian army began to counterattack, Ji Xing and Amba Lingwu sent a final telegram to Changchun. It was supposed to be one for each of the two, but Amba Lingwu really didn't know what to say, so he could only attach his last words to Ji Xing's last letter. After the book came out, the Seventh Division began its final battle.
Guoxing'a of Changchun saw Jixing's masterpiece and almost fainted. If the little rabbit cubs of the Seventh Division are finished, how will they face the undead of Hatan, Bi Yuntao, and Guiwu, and how will they deal with the old mother at home! The departments of the northern frontier front in Acton have done their best, and it will be useless to put pressure on them, and Goxinga can only find a way from other directions. Cao Meng, commander of the Manchurian Imperial Air Force, received a personal order from the general to fully support the Seventh Division at all costs.
The seven air formations of the Manchurian Army and more than 700 fighters all took to the air and went straight to the battle line of the Seventh Division at the foot of Yingbi Mountain. In addition to the big baby of Project Zero, Cao Meng took out all the belongings in his hands. Although the formations were advancing at full speed, it would be a few hours before they arrived at the battlefield. The defensive line of the 7th Division had completely collapsed, the two armies had been mixed up, and the senior officers of the 7th Division were ready to commit suicide.
"The first formation bombarded the rear of the enemy army, cut off the enemy's support, and won an opportunity for the 7th Division to rebuild the defensive line!" Jiang Xingcheng, commander-in-chief of the provisional air force formation, found that he could not distinguish between friend and foe, so he could only give the order to launch an attack on the enemy's rear.
Dozens of large bombers of the first formation of the Air Force immediately began air strikes against the Russian army. The effect of ordinary aerial bombs is limited, and it can no longer save this emergency, so the Manchurian Air Force uses big guys. Cloudburst bombs, cluster bombs, and submunitions with huge lethality became the protagonists of this air raid. Mushroom clouds rose, countless flowers bloomed on the ground, and large areas of no-man's land appeared on the battlefield. The escort fighters and the attack planes that provided fire support to the ground were also all engaged in the battle, and their guns and machine guns swept across the ground like a storm, plowing out one passage after another.
The Russian army, which had suffered heavy casualties, had to retreat and regroup in the rear in an attempt to attack again. The 7th Division took this opportunity to clear the remnants of the enemy inside its own line and once again established its own line. Finding that the enemy had separated, Jiang Xingcheng did not continue to pursue the Russian army, fearing that the Russians would jump over the wall in a hurry and become entangled with the Seventh Division again. The two armies are anxious together, which is the last thing the Air Force wants to see.
"Second formation, immediately drop bombs on the 7th Division!" No longer throwing bullets on the heads of the Russian army, Jiang Xingcheng ordered to throw some on the heads of friendly troops.
Of course, Jiang Xingcheng was not crazy, he threw bombs at the position of the Seventh Division, in fact, to protect the Seventh Division. The Air Force first threw a circle of napalm orders around the defensive ground of the Seventh Division, forming a circle of fire on the periphery of the Seventh Division, making it impossible for Russian personnel to pass through. Then he threw a large number of * down in the outer positions of the 7th Division, completely enveloping the 7th Division in a smokescreen. With the dual protection of fireworks, if the Russian army wants to attack the Seventh Division, the difficulty is not ordinary. If you can't see it, you can't get by, see how you can fight.
"Wanwang insisted, don't take it lightly, our department is less than four kilometers away!" When the Air Force was creating obstacles, Ji Xing received a telegram that the 23rd Division was about to arrive.
The 23rd Division was the closest to the 7th Division, but they were also the most stubbornly resisted, the Russian army had gathered a full 100,000 troops, and the 23rd Division had not been able to open the situation. Seeing that the 7th Division was about to finish playing, Acton decided to increase the number of troops in the direction of the 23rd Division, and the additional troops were the 5th Armored Division. The Fifth Armored Division has four combat units, including two tank brigades, one mechanized infantry brigade, and one artillery brigade, equipped with more than 800 tanks, armored vehicles, and other armored weapons. Originally, they had been preparing to send troops to Central Asia to solve the hidden dangers in the northwest of the Qing Dynasty, but now the 100,000 troops of the Seventh Division were in an emergency, and they could only be transferred to save their lives. The 5th Panzer Division mainly delayed the time on the road, and their heavy equipment was too difficult to pass through the snowfields without roads. The armored division, which is known for its strong mobility ability, actually walks slower than the infantry baggage troops. But as soon as they entered the battlefield, they immediately showed their might. The Russian army relied purely on a large number of defensive lines, which were like paper paste in front of them, and they were defeated in an instant.
The 23rd Division and the 5th Panzer Division were getting closer and closer, and the 7th Division was unable to take it for a long time, and Stoletov had to give the order to withdraw from the siege. Hundreds of tanks of the Fifth Armored Division are advancing by leaps and bounds, and the Russian army cannot resist it at all, so the Russian army does not need to think about encircling and destroying the Seventh Division now, and if they don't run away, they will be the ones who will be surrounded and annihilated. At seven o'clock in the evening of the same day, the 7th Division, which had lost more than half of its troops, finally joined forces with the 5th Panzer Division and escaped the fate of being annihilated. The siege of the Seventh Division was lifted, and the flowering of the center was a little interesting, but there was still a huge gap in the map of Acton.
The task of cutting off the rear route of the Russian army was basically completed, but it failed to completely block the retreat of the Russian army, and there was still a small gap in the encirclement. Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolanavich, the younger brother of the Russian Emperor, commanded Pavlov's corps, which had already begun to move north, and they were still guarding the only route for the Russian army. Although Pavlov's regiment was only 150,000 men, it was not an elite, but the Manchurian army did not have any strength in this direction. Pavlov's corps guarding the passage can allow the Russian army to retreat safely, and the forward column can greatly increase the strength of the Russian army, and even form a local advantage over the Manchurian army. Acton must solve this problem, otherwise the battle to annihilate the main forces of the Russian army will be very difficult and uncertain. But at the moment he did not have any extra troops at hand, and there was no force to rush through. Acton pondered for a long time until Kim Eun-shin appeared in front of him.
"Commander-in-chief, a support unit of our air force has arrived, and there is also a division of troops, you see where the arrangement is appropriate!" Kim didn't know that Acton was worried, he had simply come to ask for instructions.
In order to rescue the 7th Division, Goxinga mobilized many local troops, including the 1st Airborne Division of the Manchurian Empire, a newly formed Marine Corps of the Air Force. At present, the Air Force has only this ground combat unit, which has just completed its organization and training, and can be regarded as a newcomer to the Manchurian Army. When they arrived, the Seventh Division had already been rescued, and there was no need for them to go to the fifteenth heights. Cao dreamed of seeing the blood of this new army, so he left them on the front line in the northern frontier and put them under the command of Acton. When Kim Eun-shin came over this time, he handed over the command of the 1st Airborne Division.
"A division of the Air Force, our airfield can't accommodate it!" The airfields in Surgut and the North Sea are now full of planes, and Acton has no place to receive more aircraft reinforcements, and the sappers are busy repairing the railroad and have no time to repair the airfield.
"Uh...... It's a division, but they're not air combat units, they're land combat units, just like our infantry divisions! Jin Enxin didn't think it was strange, the Airborne Division was a new thing made by Guo Xing'a, and it was normal for Acton not to understand, and Kim Enxin didn't understand it at the beginning.
"Infantry division? So why is it included in the Air Force? Acton was a little confused.
"They are different from ordinary infantry divisions, they are airborne troops, people and weapons can be transported by plane, and they can be quickly delivered anywhere!" Kim Eun-shin explained simply.
"Deliver anywhere...... Can combat power be guaranteed? How long will it take? Acton didn't know much about paratroopers, but he was very motivated to go anywhere.
"Combat effectiveness must be guaranteed, otherwise wouldn't they be sent to death! Judging from the current situation in northern Xinjiang, it takes about three hours for the troops to assemble and transport, and it takes two hours for the troops to reassemble and sort out their equipment after they land, and within five hours, combat effectiveness can be formed anywhere! Kim Eun-sin did the math carefully, and then gave Acton a good answer.
"Is it okay to be in the area behind enemy lines without an airfield?" Acton realized he had missed an important point.
"Their people and equipment are airdropped, and the planes don't need to land, so there's no problem anywhere, and it's okay if you don't throw them into the enemy's pile!"
"Okay, let them attack immediately and block this opening!" Acton immediately pulled Kim Eun Heart in front of his map, and then pointed straight to the gap in the encirclement.
Bozhtu's cavalry outflanked and caused great trouble to the Russian army, and Stoletov had to lead the Russian army to move closer in the direction of Pavlov's corps, which was the only way for the Russian army to survive. But the road was not easy, and they encountered the 1st Airborne Division, which was fully manned, and the fortifications they had just repaired. A day ago, the Russian army had reconnoitred here, and there was not even a ghost shadow, but now it has become a strong defense line for the enemy.
"Did they fall from the sky?" Stoletov guessed the correct answer at the first time, but unfortunately he himself did not believe it.
