readx; The movie "The Rebirth of a Nation" was released in Western countries and received a good box office, and the movie was far more wonderful than any film of this era, and it also gave Western countries a glimpse of what a truly mature film is. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info but this cloth movie quickly became an opportunity for Britain, the United States, France and the four countries to jointly encircle China.

The rise of China has aroused a strong sense of crisis in Western countries, and at this time China has formed an Asian alliance headed by itself. In order to contain China's continued expansion, Britain, France, and the United States quickly decided to assist the Russian Soviets in countering the continued westward expansion of the Asian Union.

With the arrival of spring, the Sino-Russian coalition has gathered 800,000 troops on the Urals front, of which 500,000 are Russian and 300,000 are Chinese.

China sent five armored divisions to the Ural Military District.

In terms of air force, Russia has assembled 300 Hammer-4 bombers, and China has dispatched 200 Hammer-4 bombers, 500 Mosquito bombers, and 300 military aircraft, such as attack planes, fighter planes, and transport planes, to the Urals.

The Soviet Red Army gathered three million Red Army soldiers on the Orenburg front in the Urals region, all of whom had fought in the European war.

On April 21, the Sino-Russian joint air force launched a bombing campaign against the Russian troops on the Orenburg front, and 500 heavy 4 bombers took off one after another, and under the cover of fighter jets, launched a large-scale air attack on the Russian troops in the Orenburg area.

However, the Soviet Red Army had already prepared, and soon after the air raid arrived, the air raid sirens sounded, and the soldiers took refuge in the bomb shelters one after another.

When the air force launched an air attack, the 800,000 Chinese and Russian allied forces also began to advance.

The commander of the Eastern Front of the Russian Soviets, Egorov, immediately commanded the troops in response, and the Soviet Red Army placed the main forces in Orenburg.

Looking at the posture of the Sino-Russian coalition forces, it is obvious that they want to make a frontal breakthrough from Orenburg.

Egorov had no doubts about the ability of the Russian-Chinese coalition to break through, and all intelligence indicated that China had sent armored divisions and a large number of bombers from within its borders.

Therefore, Yegorov was ready to be breached, but still tried to defend.

However, as soon as the battle began, the Soviet Red Army came under heavy artillery fire.

A large number of shells fell from the sky, and the Sino-Russian coalition forces were equipped with a new 204mm towed howitzer, which is far more powerful than ordinary howitzers, and the range has reached 15 kilometers.

The Soviet Red Army artillery immediately returned fire, but the second wave of bombardment was immediately followed by the artillery of the Sino-Russian army, and groups of bombers circled over the Soviet Red Army to bombard the Soviet artillery units.

Due to the lack of anti-aircraft weapons and, even more, aircraft, the Soviets had no air supremacy at all.

As the artillery of the Soviet Red Army returned fire, the artillery of the Sino-Russian coalition immediately began to focus on cleaning up the Soviet artillery, and the artillery battle between the two sides began.

Before the official contact of the infantry, artillery battles were a traditional appetizer.

At the very beginning of the artillery battle, the artillery units of the Soviet Red Army were immediately dealt a brutal blow, and the Chinese artillery on the opposite side not only hit accurately, but also reacted quickly and coordinated, which was completely different from them.

The commander of an artillery division ran to the command and reported to Yegorov: "Commander, the Chinese Army has advanced communication equipment, and our artillery cannot beat them. ”

The Soviet Red Army of this era was poorly equipped, and it was only a preliminary reception of the foundations left over from the reign of Nicholas II.

The only advantage is the crowd tactic.

Artillery warfare is not only inferior to the artillery used by China in terms of artillery, but also far inferior in terms of communication equipment, and in addition to the accuracy of Chinese artillery, which is almost piled up with shells, it has accumulated rich experience in artillery warfare in the Sino-Shandong War.

During the Shandong War, the two sides fought the most artillery battles.

Especially during the confrontation, artillery battles between the two sides were fought every day.

Moreover, in terms of artillery warfare, China also has a great advantage in artillery units, that is, aerial reconnaissance and air force strikes at the opponent's artillery units.

It can be said that this is a completely unfair artillery battle.

Not only did they lag behind in equipment, but the Chinese artillery units had the cooperation of the Air Force.

"Remove the artillery." Yegorov immediately ordered that there was no point in continuing this artillery battle, and that it was better to retain the living forces first and wait for the most critical stage before entering the battle.

"Yes."

…… The artillery battle lasted for half an hour, and finally ended with the artillery units of the Soviet Red Army dying down, during which the artillery units of the Soviet Eastern Front lost nearly 200 large and small caliber guns, which can be described as heavy losses, but not to the point of breaking the muscles and bones, mainly thanks to Yegorov's decisiveness.

After the artillery battle, the Sino-Russian coalition began to shell the positions of the Soviet Red Army, and shells raged on the positions like raindrops, pressing the Red Army soldiers to the point that they could not raise their heads.

In the air, bombers were constantly whistling and dropping bombs, which kept the Red Army soldiers in a state of high mental tension.

They seemed to have returned to the European theater, but even the German troops in the European theater were far less powerful in firepower.

Just when the Chinese and Russian allied forces directly opposite were indiscriminately bombing the Red Army's positions for nearly three hours, the five armored divisions assembled by the Chinese Army had already been concentrated in one place.

The artillery units carried out a key strike in the direction of the Orenburg first-line breakthrough, and two hundred Air Force Type 14 dreadnought dive bombers were also dispatched.

The shelling lasted twenty minutes, and the earth of the assault position was blown up by shells, which were at least more than a meter flattened by the shells.

"Assault."

In the headquarters, Zhang Jiyu gave an assault order.

Zhang Jiyu had become the commander-in-chief of the Ural Military Region at this time, and with the establishment of New Russia, the status of the North China Military Region declined sharply, because there was basically no force around the North China Military Region that could threaten China, so the North China Military Region became a transit military region.

However, it is impossible to abolish the North China Military Region, and if the enemy hits the enemy's doorstep, it will not work if there is no well-equipped military region in the direction.

As a result, Zhang Jiyu was also transferred to the Ural Military District, where he had full command of the two military regions of the North and South Urals.

and was responsible for directing this counteroffensive against the Soviet Red Army, and the commander of New Russia was a notch lower than him and needed to obey his command.

Zhang Jiyu, who had caught the war, was extremely excited, and this counterattack on the Soviet Red Army was the moment for him to show his skills.

When the shelling reaches this level, the armored forces can already carry out a surprise attack.

According to the experience of the Sino-Chinese Shandong War and the war textbooks compiled by the Führer, blitzkrieg is the concentrated use of artillery, bombers, and combat vehicles.

In this counteroffensive, Zhang Jiyu sublimated this blitzkrieg to an extremely proficient level, and more than 1,600 combat vehicles from five armored divisions had been secretly assembled together.

When the assault command was given, the armored units that were already in place began to move forward.

"Air Force Cover." Zhang Jiyu gave another order.

Bombers took off from the airfield again, and 200 dive bombers rose into the sky and circled over the battlefield.

And the positions of the Soviet Red Army were silently bombarded by artillery fire, and not a single Red Army soldier dared to come out.

The pilots watched for valuable targets below, and as soon as they spotted a resisting Red Army unit, they could immediately dive down and bombard the Red Army unit below.

The accuracy of dive bombing is very high, and it is an extremely practical tactical aircraft.

When the armored troops crushed in front of the positions of the Soviet Red Army, the artillery fire of the Chinese and Russian forces began to extend to the rear, and the Soviet Red Army soldiers in the trenches finally came out and opened fire on the rolling torrent that was crushing.

However, Russia withdrew from the First World War earlier, did not have much experience in dealing with tanks, and in the face of tanks that could not even play a fart role when bullets hit, the Soviet Red Army that appeared in the trenches was very panicked for a while.

In the face of the emerging Soviet Red Army, the chariots that crushed the past fired high-explosive shells at those Soviet Red Army.

In the absence of combat vehicles in the Soviet Red Army, the use of high-explosive shells was much larger, and armor-piercing shells were mainly used against those pillboxes.

The wreath of a chariot aimed at a machine gun fire point of the Soviet Red Army in the distance, and after a high-explosive shell was fired, there was a bang, and the fire point was directly muted, and the Soviet Red Army soldier who was using the machine gun was killed on the spot.

The five armoured divisions were also interspersed with 75mm self-propelled guns, which followed somewhat idlely, which were anti-tank weapons and were now mainly used to fight pillboxes.

While the armored division was on the move, mortars were also supporting the vehicles in front.

Compared with the self-propelled 75mm anti-tank gun, the mortar still relies on manual carrying and vehicle traction, and the mobile surname is not too high.

In the face of the rolling torrent of steel, the Red Army on the position was completely disorganized.

Their weapons simply cannot deal with these tanks.

Yegorov learned about this at the command and immediately ordered the artillery to open fire.

Shells suddenly flew from the sky, and the armored troops that attacked the Russian positions immediately suffered some casualties, but as soon as the Red Army's artillery fired, it was like a hornet's nest, and the sky dive bombers swooped down on the Red Army's artillery in groups, and then dropped bombs, and quickly pulled up and flew into the air.

The artillery units reacted immediately and delivered strikes at the Red Army artillery that had exposed their positions.

The Red Army's artillery had not yet fired a few shells, but most of them were quickly disused by the dropped bombs and flying shells, and the firepower was greatly reduced.

The shells fired by the Soviet Red Army could not stop the advance of the Chinese armored forces, and the armored forces soon broke through to the positions of the Red Army.

The battle between the infantry of both sides began immediately, and the artillery of the Red Army also stopped, and when the infantry fought, it had become a restricted area for both sides to run into.

However, the infantry of the Soviet Red Army was not faced with traditional infantry, but with armored troops.

The position of the Red Army was quickly torn open by the assault armored forces with a devastating force, and five armored divisions quickly broke through this opening.

Behind the Panzer Division, groups of Chinese and Russian infantry divisions were already following, pouring into the Red Army positions through this torn opening.

The artillery units also shifted their artillery forward in order to match the depth penetration of the armored units.

Having broken through the first line of defense of the Red Army, the armored forces began to run over the second line of defense of the Red Army, and immediately after the first line of defense was broken, Yegorov gave the order to retreat, retreating the Red Army in the first line of defense to the second line of defense for defense.

However, due to the speed of the Chinese armored forces' assault, the Red Army units in the first line of defense did not retreat in time, and a small half of the Red Army was surrounded by the Russian Wehrmacht advancing with the Chinese armored forces.

The war of annihilation soon began, and the war of annihilation was mainly responsible for the Russian troops, although it was a war of annihilation, but the greatest casualties were often the war of annihilation of this kind of close combat, so when the combat tasks were assigned, the squadron [***] was not responsible for the annihilation of these Red Army units, but only for the three aspects of assault, interception, and encirclement.

Approaching the second line of defense of the Red Army, the armored forces took a short break and waited for the artillery to follow up behind, as well as the preparation of the Air Force.

After half an hour of repair, the rolling torrent of steel, equipped with artillery and air force, rushed to the second line of defense of the Red Army.

In less than twenty minutes of fighting, the armored forces broke through the second line of defense of the Red Army, and to the roar of tanks, the Red Army began to retreat to the third line......

However, to Yegorov's horror, the third line of defense was broken through again by Chinese tank troops an hour later.

All that's left is the last line of defense.

In the face of the menacing Sino-Russian coalition army, Yegorov really did not know how to resist, so after consulting Stalin, he decided to start a major retreat.

Yegorov divided his troops into three groups, each of which was about a million troops.

The last group of troops held the fourth line of defense in order to hold back the Sino-Russian forces and allow the first and second groups of evacuated troops to cross the Volga.

The Eastern Front had 3 million troops, but these 3 million troops were backward in equipment and did not have a huge advantage in the face of the 800,000 Chinese and Russian coalition forces.

Especially when the Sino-Russian coalition front is not long, there is no possibility of victory at all. So Yegorov decided to carry out a strategic retreat, and his decision was supported by Stalin.

However, the plan could never keep up with the changes, and the Chinese armored forces broke through the fourth line of defense of the Soviet Red Army three hours later.

Half a million Russian infantry followed behind the Chinese armored forces and carried out a massive encirclement and annihilation of the Soviet Red Army.

Although the Red Army had three million troops, so many forces were spread across the defensive line that there was simply no way to concentrate them.

Because once it left the defense line and fought a naked field battle with China, it would end up being easily killed by aircraft, artillery, and chariots, so the Soviet Red Army, which had a larger strength, was divided and surrounded by the infantry of the Russian Wehrmacht.

The entire battlefield was filled with dense gunfire, and the battle of annihilation was extremely fierce.

The soldiers of the New Russian Wehrmacht were high because of the Chinese armored division opening the way in front, and although the morale of the Red Army soldiers was relatively low, there was still some faith to support it.

However, the establishment of the Soviets was not long after all, and Russia had just emerged from the rule of Nicholas II, so it was difficult to get rid of the shadow of Nicholas II.

Therefore, under the siege, many Soviet Red Army soldiers began to surrender.

When the four lines of defense of the Soviet Red Army were completely lost after a day's fighting, and the Soviet Red Army began to retreat on a large scale, Zhang Jiyu made a plan to outflank and intercept it in the headquarters.

That night, China's 10 motorized infantry divisions began to take advantage of their mobility and began to maneuver westward, outflanking the banks of the Volga River, where the Red Army had retreated.

This was a crazy outflanking plan, however, with absolute field superiority, this outflanking plan was not really much dangerous.

The retreating Soviet Red Army discovered early the next morning that the [***] squadron had appeared in front of them.

The battle unfolded in the field, and the squadron [***], with its ferocious mortar fire, plus the cover of some tanks, opened fire on the retreating Red Army on the banks of the Volga.

This is a scenario that can be seen in the developed countries in the struggle against the proletarian countries, but the developed countries often lose on the issue of too long a front.

In general, it was the easy victory in the early days that made them arrogant and proud.

However, once you penetrate the hinterland, you will be cut off from supplies and caught in the sea of people's war, which is completely a law after World War II.

Facing the squadron that suddenly appeared in front of the retreat route, Yegorov was immediately anxious and ordered his troops to retreat to the north.

Retreating from the north, it was possible to bypass the Volga.

Ten infantry divisions of the Chinese Army began to encircle and intercept the retreating Soviet Red Army on the banks of the Volga River, which was simply described as pursuit.

Taking advantage of their own mobility and the reconnaissance of the air force, ten motorized infantry divisions pursued all the way north.

Eight infantry divisions of the Wehrmacht that had been initially mobilized also joined the operation, and eighteen infantry divisions scattered the retreating Soviet Red Army, which was left to the Russian infantry divisions behind.

Three million Soviet Red Army were scattered in an instant.

After this counteroffensive, the Russian army was in awe of the Chinese army. The strength of the Chinese Army is simply too strong, and for those Russian soldiers who have been on the battlefields of Europe, the Chinese Army is much stronger than the Allies.

After division and encirclement, in this counteroffensive operation, the Sino-Russian coalition forces intercepted more than a million Red Army in three days, and quickly concentrated superior forces to annihilate these Red Army.

About two million Soviet Red Army troops were evacuated from the north to the west bank of the Volga.

Nicholas II was very excited, he thought that the time had come for a big counteroffensive, and he came to the front and presented his ideas to Zhang Jiyu.

However, he was rejected by Zhang Jiyu.

"According to the plan, the purpose of our counteroffensive this time is only to gain the area on the east bank of the Volga, as well as the Caucasus in the lower reaches of the Volga. A counteroffensive on the west bank of the Volga is not planned. Zhang Jiyu said to Nicholas II, according to the instructions of the Führer, don't go too far, counterattack Europe, and take the encroachment route, which is the safest.

"But, as you have seen, the so-called Soviets are not vulnerable to our coalition forces." Nicholas II said to Zhang Jiyu in confusion.
