Brest, Litovsk.

The Russian army under the command of Tukhachevsky launched a large-scale offensive against the Chinese coalition forces on July 3!

Historically known as the "Battle of Molensk-Brest".

Regarding this battle, it is mentioned in most books that Tukhachevsky took the initiative to attack, and even a large number of books, war histories, and biographies of China also say the same, but in fact, the first shot of this battle was fired by the 2nd Division of Rao Guohua of the First Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

The 2nd Division, which had completed the tentative attack in Lechenkerst, quickly withdrew to the fortified line of defense and was engaged in the task of blocking it.

The Chinese planes flew into the sky with all their might, and in two days, they fought nine battles with the Red Army Air Force of the Soviet Union. While the battle for deer unfolded on the ground, a fierce battle in the sky was also going on.

The artillery was bombarded there, and the position was shaken by the sound of artillery.

Since the invention and large-scale use of thermal weapons, war has become the most terrible thing.

A war often means thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded!

Tukhachevsky, the front-line commander in whom Trotsky and Lenin had high hopes, was the first time he had confronted the Chinese.

At first, he didn't take the Chinese people too seriously. According to intelligence, only more than 20,000 troops can be put on the front line of the battlefield. It was good enough to be able to barely launch an attack at Retchinkerst in advance, and once the Red Army launched a general offensive on all fronts, it was only a matter of time before the Chinese and Bōlan people were defeated.

But Tukhachevsky soon found out that he was wrong.

Although the Chinese were numerically inferior, they were in no way inferior to the Red Army in weapons, and even far superior to their enemies in quality.

Cannons, machine guns, submachine guns, all of which constitute the superior firepower of the squadron!

The intensity of the machine-gun armament in their army is staggering. A network of countless machine guns tightly seals every path forward.

Every step forward for the Red Army had to pay an extremely heavy price!

For two days, the Red Army did not make any breakthroughs, except for a few sporadic positions.

And not only the performance of the Chinese army is also very outstanding.

They knew the importance of the "Battle of Molensk-Brest", and they also knew that if they lost this battle, then Bōlan, including their capital Warsaw, would be most directly threatened!

Like the Chinese, they defended their positions to the death, and refused to lose an inch of land.

The planes of the Chinese people also flew into the sky from time to time, desperately throwing bombs at the attacking Red Army, and the bombs ignited the sky-high flames and gunpowder smoke in the sky, so that the attacking Red Army completely lost the Bōlan army, which had lost several wars in succession before, and its morale and confidence were also greatly restored in the two days of fighting. They found out that the Red Army was not at all as terrible as they had imagined.

Originally, in Tukhachevsky's overall plan, the attack launched on July 3 had captured all the enemy's front-line positions by July 5, and the general offensive should have been launched on the 6th.

But the course of the war was completely different from what he imagined!

When the day came on the 6th, the Red Army was still struggling.

Trotsky, Lenin, and Stalin sent telegrams one after another asking about the situation at the front, but Tukhachevsky did not tell them the whole truth. In the reply it was simply said that "the valiant soldiers of the Red Army, who are carrying out a resolute and courageous attack, victory will surely belong to the great Soviets!" ”

At the urging of the incumbent leader, Tukhachevsky appeared a little anxious.

On the 6th, Tukhachevsky was forced to use the 16th Army as a support force in advance.

The sudden increase in the number of enemies did not make Liu Zhaocheng, the commander of the First Army of China, feel too much pressure, he just told his staff officers: "The Russians are starting to panic!" ”

It couldn't be simpler.

Liu Zhaocheng did not add a single soldier to the front line, nor did he ask the second reinforcement to rush to the battlefield quickly, in his opinion, the 20,000 people in his hands were enough in the current situation.

War is no longer the era in which whoever has more people can win.

And an excellent commander is enough to withstand tens of thousands of male soldiers!

At the forefront of the battlefield was the 2nd Division commanded by Rao Guohua. In the course of a few days, even he himself had forgotten how many times he had repelled the attacks of the Russians. …,

He was full of curiosity about the Red Army, who always liked to shout "Ula" during the attack.

From the first encounter with the Russians to the present, Rao Guohua found that the Russians, or more accurately the Russian Red Army, liked to organize the battles of large armies, and the spirit was far stronger than the use of tactics.

It was also the first time that they and their troops were faced with such a test.

In the battle of the Northern Expedition, there were not many severe tests that he and his troops really faced, and some "big wars" were actually far from being called jīlie. But on the Russian battlefield, the troops were really tested.

Some of the new recruits who were newly added to the army were still a little afraid of the enemy who shouted "Ula" in their mouths, but as the war progressed, the large number of casualties of the Soviet Russian Red Army began to make them gradually let go of their fear and fear.

The "Ula" will die the same, and it will be a patch of dead and wounded. The number of their casualties far exceeded that of the squadron.

However, such a country must not allow them to develop. Rao Guohua thought in his heart.

Once the Bolsheviks had unified all of Russia and defeated Bōlan, it would be an extremely serious threat to China.

At this time, Rao Guohua also began to understand why the president must firmly enter Russia to fight!

A new enemy offensive has begun!

Judging from the dense enemy on the opposite side, the Soviet Russian Red Army invested at least two divisions or more. This is also the old habit of the Russians, hoping to overwhelm the enemy in numbers and momentum from the very beginning of the offensive!

The veterans and recruits of the 2nd Division showed their composure. When the Russians attacked, they did not shoot indiscriminately in a panic, but patiently waited for the enemy to enter the range of fire, and then the light and heavy firepower roared together.

The overwhelming net of fire was woven into a death trap, making the enemies jump helplessly.

The earth is groaning there, and the mountains and rivers are wailing. Brest is destined to become a place that Tukhachevsky and his soldiers will never forget in their lives.

Those terrible machine guns, those terrible rifles, those terrible submachine guns, those terrible grenades, those terrible planes, those terrible artillery one,

And those terrible Chinese people!

Ten or twenty attacks, no matter how many attacks they have, are so futile. The Red Army returned again and again in vain, except for the corpses left behind.

The aim of the Chinese seems to be to hold this place, and when the Russians began to retreat, they did not jump out of their positions in pursuit, but calmly watched the defeat of the Russians.

This calm is very scary.

On the 7th, in the face of successive unfavorable offensives, Tukhachevsky began to change his tactics, and he transferred back part of the troops that had attacked the Bōlan position and threw them into the Brest field.

The two lines attacked at the same time, becoming a first-line containment and a first-line main attack.

And the main target of attack is the Chinese people!

When this decision was made, Tukhachevsky did not know whether he had done it right or wrong. In his vision, the squadron would be stronger than the Bō Lan people in terms of armament and combat quality, and as long as it could defeat the Chinese people, then if they attacked the Bō Lan people again, the battle would be carried out in the direction of victory.

But all this is based on a premise: the opposing squadron must be defeated as soon as possible!

Will Tukhachevsky be able to do this?

Liu Zhaocheng soon noticed the change in the tactics of the Russians, but this frighteningly calm young commander of the "China" country did not make any adjustments to the battlefield.

"Although the Russians have increased their troops, they have not improved in the slightest in the offensive!" Liu Zhaocheng put down the binoculars and smiled calmly: "Tukhachevsky has more than 700 cannons in his hands, but he has not concentrated them to give full play to their greatest advantages, and he still tries to use crowd tactics to achieve victory, and such a result will still give them nothing." ”

Li Zongren also seemed not worried at all, according to the current battlefield situation, the Russians would not be able to gain the upper hand in a few days of attacking: "The strength of our new reinforcement three divisions has arrived on the battlefield, do you want to put it into battle?" ”

Liu Zhaocheng thought for a moment, and then shook his head: "It's not time yet, let them all serve as the general reserve." The Russians still have the vigor to attack, wait a little longer, wait patiently for a while"

So far, Liu Zhaocheng has won the battle.

The Russians don't know that in fact, the current number of troops in Liu Zhaocheng's hands has narrowed the gap with the Russians. Even the squadron has the power to fight back!

The only difference is that Liu Zhaocheng did not show his full strength, he is still waiting, waiting for the moment to give the Russians a fatal blow!

Shells rumbled across the battlefield, and the whole land was plunged into thick smoke. The cries of tens of thousands of soldiers kept coming, as if telling the terrible disaster on the battlefield.

Such a catastrophe can finally end unless one side is completely defeated, but no one is willing to give up everything they have.

The Chinese, Russians, and Bōlan people all have their own beliefs, and no matter which side believes that they represent justice, and no matter which side thinks that they are the only masters.

But these are all based on victory, and only the victorious side represents justice and is the master of everything!。
