Thanks to the fortifications after the reinforcement, the casualties of the soldiers of the Dian army were much smaller, and as for the elite paratroopers, there were almost no casualties.

They knew better than the soldiers of the Dian army how to use the fortifications that had just been built and fortified to fight.

And with their accession, the automatic firepower of the defenders has been greatly strengthened.

A MG42 general-purpose machine gun, which is more advanced than the MG34, and thousands of MP38 submachine guns, have built a dense network of fire "pigs", "pigs" and "islands" novels.

Suppressed the Anglo-American coalition and their servants, who were also equipped with some American-style weapons.

The fierce fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce.

In a secret forward observation post of the US military, Colonel Morgan, who was holding a telescope, had a blue face at the moment, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

A British colleague on the side said cautiously: "Sir, it seems that the firepower of the Chinese defenders has changed a lot, and it is much stronger than before. ”

Colonel Morgan couldn't see this, he slammed his fist on the wooden support next to him, and said angrily: "Order, the attacking troops stop attacking." ”

…………

Vladivostok, command of the Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Army.

The Chinese army's nearly one million troops launched an active offensive against the Soviet army on a front of thousands of kilometers from the Korean Peninsula in the north to Outer Mongolia in the west. (Of course, if the Greater Khing'an Mountains area is not counted, the actual battle route is only about a few hundred kilometers.) )

Due to the level of equipment in various regions, the Soviet army was invaded by the German army on the mainland, and the original garrison troops were transferred to the west to increase the number of troops and other reasons.

In less than two days, on the battlefield in the northwest, the Soviet army swept more than 200 kilometers across the northwest Chinese frontier army, and retreated one after another.

The Heilongjiang defense line, which Lao Maozi had painstakingly managed, was also broken through by a powerful offensive by the combined land and air forces of Du Ting's Northeast Frontier Army.

Zhukov, the current commander of the Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Army, is gathering a group of senior generals for an urgent meeting to prepare for the upcoming Battle of Vladivostok.

"Comrades. The situation has reached the most critical moment, and on the front, the Chinese Northeast border guards have broken through our defense along the river.

To the north, a detachment of the Chinese army had crossed the Gulf of Posiette and was forming a north-south flank attack on Vladivostok.

As a Soviet serviceman, we are obliged to defend the territories that countless of our forefathers carved out with their blood and lives. Zhukov paused indignantly, and then said: "Therefore, I hope that all of you present here will put life and death aside and defend our territory to the death." Allegiance to the great Comrade SDL, allegiance to the great Soviet Republic. ”

The generals of the Soviet army present stood up one after another and swore an oath to express their attitude.

Immediately, Zhukov mobilized all the troops he could muster, totaling more than 200,000 people, and deployed them in Vladivostok, that is, in its vicinity.

It was intended to defeat the menacing Chinese army through a tenacious and fierce large-scale battle and resistance battle.

However, Zhukov, who does not have air supremacy, also knows that it is extremely difficult and even impossible to achieve this strategic goal.

Because, the Moscow direction has already given a clear reply, the German offensive on the Western Front is too fierce, and it is simply impossible to send reinforcements to help the entire Far East war situation.

The total strength of the original Soviet Far Eastern Military District exceeded one million at its peak. However, due to the undeclared war of the Germans, the western part of the Soviet Union lost cities and lost land one after another, and suffered heavy losses.

Moscow quickly transferred 500,000 troops to the west, which had been reinforced in Eastern Siberia. A huge Far East region, an area of millions of square kilometers, and a long border of nearly 10,000 miles, the Soviet army only had less than 500,000 troops left to defend.

And there are not enough planes to compete with the Chinese border guards for air supremacy.

In such a situation where it is obvious that the enemy is strong and I am weak. Although Zhukov tried his best to fight this battle, the reality was cruel and unforgiving.

It's just that as a high-ranking Soviet general who is highly regarded by the highest leader. He had no choice but to fight this battle.

Command your subordinates as much as you can to win this war.

On April 7, the 26th year of the Republic of China, Du Ting ordered the two armies to attack the area around Vladivostok at the same time.

The Battle of Vladivostok began.

For the sake of Vladivostok and the surrounding area, Du Ting mobilized an army of 600,000 troops, 500 tanks, 1,000 artillery pieces, more than 100 fighters and more than 50 bombers.

Due to the absolute air supremacy of the Air Force, the artillery units of the Soviet Army were gradually weakened and annihilated.

In cooperation with the ground armored forces, the tank armored units of the Soviet army also suffered great losses.

In just three days of the war, the Soviets suffered more than 20,000 casualties, of which more than 10,000 were killed.

Such a huge casualty rate was something Zhukov did not expect.

However, it was a helpless move, because there was no air supremacy, which indirectly led to the catastrophe of the ground armored forces and artillery units.

Without the assistance of artillery and the deterrence of tank troops, their own infantry could only use their lives to block the Chinese' tank and machine gun bullets in order to hold the defensive line.

By this time, Zhukov seemed to have been able to foresee the outcome of the war.

Discouraged, he sent Stalin a telegram in advance, briefly explaining the current situation in the Lower Far East and the pressure on his defenders.

Jiamusi, the former enemy headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Army.

Du Ting had already moved his command system here, and at this time, the communications troops, orderlies, heralds, and operational staff officers in the headquarters were very busy.

Du Ting, accompanied by several staff officers, was discussing the battle around the map.

"General, our army's offensive is rapid, causing great casualties to the Soviet army, and if this progress continues, we will be able to capture Vladivostok in half a month at the latest." A staff officer pointed to the map.

Du Ting stared at the map and said, "The key is whether the Twin Regions can be taken before the Soviet army decides to abandon Vladivostok and escape."

Only where to take can the Soviet army cut off the way for the Soviet army to flee westward and completely encircle and annihilate the main force of the Soviet army in the Vladivostok area. ”

The staff officer said: "The Soviets obviously also attach great importance to where, the attack of the Ninth Division and the 209th Division is not going well, where the Soviets have deployed heavy troops for defense, and relying on the advantages of the terrain, in my opinion, if you want to capture the twin areas as soon as possible, you have to increase your troops." ”

"Then transfer another division over, and Vladivostok can postpone the attack.

The twin regions of this battle are the key, and if you take this place, you will be alive and well, and compared to the Soviet army, you will fall into a strategic dead land. Du Ting said.
